236 You can raise private soldiers
Giving Yelu Bucai to Xiao Xiaoxiao is exactly what Zong Shu wants to do.
This little bit of caution was also seen by Huizong.
Huizong is so mediocre, but his brain is not faint.
Just now in front of the Jiying Palace, he said that Yelu Bucai had died in a mining disaster, so he couldn't change his words.
"Your Majesty, my son-in-law has always been a good person who abides by rules and disciplines, a good person who is honest and responsible, and has no habit of lying." Zong Shu said stiffly.
This guy will really put gold on his face, abide by rules and disciplines, and be honest, such words have nothing to do with him.
"Your Majesty, I am ordered to hook a girl, I have to buy a bag, rouge gouache or something, and it is indispensable to enter and exit the border, this is all official business, can you reimburse some funds?"
Zong Shu said with a shy face.
This guy really deserves to be from a merchant family, and there is a smell of copper all over his body, so he actually asked him for funds!
What's more, this guy is going to hook a girl. hooked, the benefits are all his.
Of course, Da Song can also be beneficial.
The conversation between Zong Shu and Wan Yanping made the Queen Mother notice, and she immediately called Huizong to the Suxi Palace.
Zong Shu said to Wan Yanping that Jin Taizu was sick, and it was very powerful, and the immortal Da Luo couldn't save it.
Huizong couldn't believe it, and felt that Zong Shu was talking nonsense, and if he pressed Wan Yanping under him three times, he could judge her father's illness?
Wan Yanping just hesitated and did not deny it, which proved that Zong Shu did not talk nonsense.
The Queen Mother believed in Zong Shu's judgment, after all, Zong Shu was able to cure her tetanus, which had already proved his ability in medicine.
Zhu Zhu once told the Queen Mother that Zong Shu had said in the East Palace that after a month, Jin Taizu would die of illness after finishing his face.
At that time, the Queen Mother didn't care.
And today, Zong Shu's prediction has come true.
The Jin State attacked Liao, and it should have encountered a big problem.
The Queen Mother finally judged that what Zong Shu said would be effective nine times out of ten.
Huizong thought about it, Zong Shu was really talking about something, he said that Tongzhen Palace was going to fall into the underworld, and it would sink after three days.
He said that the Northern Song Dynasty was going to fail in the Liao invasion, and he was really confused.
He said that the army of the planter was finished, and as a result, the 100,000-strong army was wiped out.
I have to say that Zong Shu has an extremely accurate judgment of the general trend.
"According to the Beidi report, the Jin people suffered several defeats in Jiashan, and the strength of the Liao people, as Zong Shu said, is underestimated."
Huizong remembered what Zong Shu had said when he was in the court.
At that time, everyone thought that the Liao people were defeated and were already vulnerable.
Judging from the fact that the Liao army wiped out the seed army and recently defeated the Jin people, the Liao people were not exhausted.
"It's been a hundred years since the Liao people attacked Western Xia, and they haven't been captured yet?" The Queen Mother said: "The rise and fall of the country's fortunes and the presence or absence of qi are not the work of one battle. β
Huizong thought about it, but the Queen Mother still saw deeply and thought far.
The Queen Mother mentioned what she said before, Zong Shu can marry Xiao Xiaoxiao and fight for the face of the Song boy.
In terms of identity, Zong Shu is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven and a grandmaster of the crown prince, which is not low.
"If the Jin people know, won't there be another disaster for my Great Song Dynasty?" Huizong asked.
The Queen Mother sighed, this emperor is too obsessed with calligraphy, painting, gold and stone, and lacks experience in handling government affairs.
The Empress Dowager explained that the policies of Jin and Liao can be one light and one dark.
On the surface, if he entered into an alliance with the Jin State, it would be at the cost of marrying into the Jin State.
In private, the secret communication with the Liao State is premised on letting Zong Shu hook the girl.
If Jin Guo finds something, Da Song will also confess.
The correspondence between Zong Shu and the Liao State was Zong Shu's personal matter, and the imperial court did not know about it.
In fact, Zong Shu and Xiao Xiaoxiao already knew about it.
If the Liao people regain their courage and suppress the Jin people at that time, then Zong Shu is the bridge and link between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao people.
Stepping on two boats, no one will be offended. This is the foreign policy set by the Empress Dowager to Huizong.
However, this is bitter.
The queen mother said, compared with the ancestors of Sheji and the Zhao family, what are the princes and princesses?
"Ji'er, have you read Zong Shu's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" recently?" The Queen Mother asked.
"Look, the prince's "Great Song Times" has been serialized, and some booksellers have gathered to publish it."
Huizong actually watched every issue, and asked Gao Yu to be seen by Gao Yu in front of the palace.
To the others, Huizong did not reveal the news that he read the "Great Song Times".
When the Queen Mother asked about this, Huizong had to tell the truth.
"The death of Shu lies in the defeat of Wu! Otherwise, the Three Kingdoms will be established, and Shu will still have hope of recovering the Han Dynasty. The Queen Mother said: "Zong Shu has always said, don't cut Liao." "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zong Shu's intentions are very profound. β
Huizong immediately recalled "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and found that the Queen Mother analyzed it very reasonably.
Zong Shu repeatedly stated the strategy of Lianliao to make gold in the court, but was opposed by Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others.
So Zong Shu talked about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", through the integration of stories and history, to allude to and allude to the relationship between Song, Jin, and Liao.
Zong Shu, it's really well-intentioned.
If it was in the past, Huizong would really think that Zong Shu was fighting against the imperial court.
Now, Zong Shu is already his attached horse, so naturally he will not turn his elbow outward.
As soon as the Queen Mother analyzed this, Huizong immediately felt that Zong Shu was really thinking about the Zhao family.
"Ji'er, read more "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a big pattern and great wisdom in it." The Queen Mother took the newly published "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and confessed.
β¦β¦
Huizong was thinking about the Queen Mother's words, and forgot that Zong Shu was by his side.
"Your Majesty, forget about the financial problems. I work on private expenses. But can you give me a talisman or something? I hook a girl, I have to see someone, right? When you see people, you have to go to Liao, right? If I go to Liao, in case of danger, I have to be able to transfer troops, right? β
Zong Shu immediately changed a condition, forget the problem of money, if you can mobilize soldiers and horses, it will be too cool.
Huizong was simply speechless, let you soak a girl, and mention such a lot of conditions.
What kind of soldier talisman, transfer troops?
You simply transfer all the Great Song troops to the front line, kill them together in the Liao Kingdom, and snatch Xiao Xiaoxiao over!
If this works, what else do you need to make?
"The matter of seducing a girl can only be done in secret, how can it be made a big fanfare?"
Huizong reiterated to Zong Shu that only the Queen Mother, him and Zong Shu knew about the matter of seducing a girl, and it should not be leaked.
"Your Majesty, then I will train myself, like Niu Gao, Li Shaoyan and others. In the future, please don't charge me with raising soldiers for myself. β
Zong Shu immediately changed another condition.
You must know that in the Northern Song Dynasty, raising soldiers privately has become a trend, but it is generally called Zhuangke, and raising private soldiers is also called "raising guests".
The lord of the manor did not have the control of one family and ten thousand families in the Tang Dynasty, and the scale of the clan's private soldiers was far from enough, so the lord of the manor in the two Song Dynasty was generally very Jianghu.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the commodity economy was developed, land resources were scarce, and the number of displaced people surged.
The homeless people also needed the protection of powerful people, and the owners of the Song Dynasty needed more "fists", and the two hit it off.
These owners tend to be both black and white.
The government prohibits the people from raising private soldiers, but the scale of the soldiers raised by the owners is not large, so as not to form a big disaster, so they turn a blind eye.
The main reason why Zong Shu did not dare to openly recruit a large number of personnel was that he was afraid of causing impeachment by officials and causing unnecessary trouble to the crown prince.
If Huizong promised Zong Shu that he could train soldiers on his own, then Zong Shu could let it go.
In this era, without their own armament, they have no confidence to protect their families.
Huizong thought for a while, turned around and said, "Don't make a noise about raising guests." To be carried out secretly in Mi County, the number of personnel must be self-exiled, and the number of people must not exceed 2,000. β
