Chapter 597: Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi
Wang Ze, an unknown little person, disrupted everyone's plans, you said that you rebelled against a school captain, and led a hundred and ten people to overthrow the imperial court, not every toad can eat swan meat.
The rebellion again and again made Zhao Zhen's face very shameless, he thought that he was all about the people during his reign, and before Lu Zifei appeared, he needed to consider it if he wanted to have a good meal.
The situation in Hebei Du Yan is clearer, because he has been an envoy in Hebei, and the emperor has thrown out the problem, as a courtier, you have to take the initiative to stand up and solve problems for the emperor.
"There is no need to worry about a school captain rebelling, Xuanyijun did not move because Han Qi was worried about the movement of the Liao State in the north, and the imperial court gave Hebei East Road a holy decree, and the minister thought that the rebellion would be put down soon."
Du Yan's words Zhao Zhen nodded, in fact, it was indeed as he said, a small rebellion was not taken to heart when he received the twist in his hand, and the successive rebellions dealt too much damage to his prestige.
Then the question is, who will go to quell the rebellion, this is the credit that can be seen by the eyes and touched by the hands, and the people of the Privy Council, the Ministry of War and the emperor's tripartite forces are all likely to go, and everyone can get this credit if they go.
The best candidate is Di Qing, pacify Nong Zhigao, capture Dali, and use his ability to go to Beizhou to capture the king, so it can be said that he can be captured, but will the literati let Di Qing go? Apparently impossible.
The people in the book all looked at Du Yan, but Du Yan stared at his toes and didn't look up, as if there was a peerless beauty under his feet that attracted him, Zhang Sheng was a little moved, but he knew that in his tacit small group, Wen Yanbo was the person who needed this capital the most.
At this time, Wang Gongchen, who was a-stirring stick, stood up, and he said: "I think Wangbeihou is the most suitable person, he is familiar with the environment in the north, and he is not just talking about the war." โ
Once the friends of the same camp began to part ways after they reached their own peaks, Wang Gongchen is purely disgusting Wen Yanbo, since I can't go, I will also let you not go.
Of course, someone recommended Lu Zifei to come out and oppose it, and the last person who wanted Lu Zifei to go to the battlefield had to be Song Qi, and now he was participating in political affairs and had a great say in this regard, so he stood up as a matter of course.
"Wangbeihou has been fighting for the country for two years, and today the emperor is thinking of his hard work and did not let him participate in the early dynasty, and the court is not only looking at Beihou for a person who can fight, so endlessly using one person, it makes no sense."
Now the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the daughter-in-law says that the daughter-in-law is reasonable, Lu Zifei is more acceptable to the literati than Di Qing, Wen Yanbo is a little untenable, if he really wants the emperor to forcibly pass this decision, then his position in the Privy Council will not be guaranteed.
Before he could say it, he stood up again and said: "The minister recommended Jia Changchao, the governor of Texas, Texas is close to Beizhou, and Jia Changchao is well versed in the art of war, and he thinks it is still very easy to deal with a small captain." โ
Zhao Zhen felt that the more these people talked, the more outrageous they became, and if they talked about it for a while, they might be able to carry the dying Lu Yijian out, and Jia Changchao would come back and settle there, and the name of the-stirring stick was really well deserved.
The proposal was rejected without passing everyone's brains, Lu Zifei destroyed Dali and earned back a marquis for his father, and Wang Ze, a little thief, could give a viscount no matter what he said!
People with small official positions want to earn a family business for their families, and big officials want to use this opportunity to seek greater benefits, anyway, everyone has their own interests, and now the court is no longer the time for one person to have the final say, everyone is about the same, I don't have to be afraid of you.
Wen Yanbo saw that the situation was out of his control step by step, and the fat in his mouth was snatched away, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, as a privy envoy, he was worried that the officials of his department did not understand what he meant, in the eyes of others, you are a privy envoy and still care about that bit of credit.
No one can not be unmoved in front of the merits, this is the so-called human nature, Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and squinted his eyes slightly, at this juncture, he sat on it and saw everyone's expressions very clearly, he liked this feeling.
"Go to the privy councillor! I just took this opportunity to inspect the military of the two roads in Hebei, I hope that this kind of child's play will not happen next time, and by the way, tell Han Qi that he is optimistic about the Liao people in the north. โ
Zhao Zhen was already impatient with this, Dali was the embodiment of his merits, he didn't want to see such a rebellion happen endlessly, he needed someone to suppress Wang Ze's rebellion strongly, and he saw Wen Yanbo's desire for meritorious service.
The matter between Di Qing and Wen Yanbo did not make any waves in the court, and no one mentioned it, as if it had never happened, Wen Yanbo went to quell the rebellion, if it went well, he would have absolute authority in the military when he returned, Di Qing was afraid that his life at that time would be difficult.
Han Qi passed through Hebei, and the news of Wang Ze's rebellion was a little slower than that of the secret spy department, and when he knew that one of the captains of the Xuanyi Army had rebelled, he couldn't believe it in his heart.
In his impression, Beizhou was a poor and remote country, and their life was basically supported by the government, and they had resisted the invasion of the Liao people in the north for a long time, and the potential of the area had been almost exhausted.
After the failure of the Qingli New Deal, Han Qi changed from an idealist to a realist, he didn't think about those illusory things, after arriving in Hebei, he trained diligently, hoarded more fields, accumulated grain, built cities and built walls, and he exerted his rights here to the extreme.
This is a slow process, and when Han Qi calmed down to do this, he realized that as long as he was given time to accumulate beyond the boundary, the Liao State would not have to worry about it, and he would not be able to defeat the Liao State with just one blood.
He was also very curious about the people sent by the court to quell the rebellion, this was a clear credit gift, and he had also heard the news of Dali, and he didn't believe that the group of people in the court could withstand the temptation of this free gift.
"My lord, we can take this kind of credit ourselves! Why do you have to wait for the imperial court to send troops, you don't need to ยทยทยทยทยทยท. โ
Han Qi stopped and looked at his subordinate officers and said, "The Ministry of War, the Privy Council, the Emperor's Holy Decree, you tell me, which one we have, do you know that if we do what you say, the merit will also become a crime, believe it or not." โ
The subordinate officials' hearts are similar to those in the court, and they can't take a step when they see the merits, they govern Hebei with a degraded identity, and the reason why he can use it again is the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, and he understands the truth better than anyone else.
"Xiaguan does not have the foresight of adults."
It seems that the subordinate officials still don't think so, and Han Qi doesn't want to explain so much for him, so he just said lightly: "As long as the people's livelihood in Hebei returns to normal life and resists the invasion of Liao, this is the greatest credit, don't think about those things that don't belong to you all day long." โ
After saying that, ignoring the subordinate officials who were still ignorant, Han Qi took a few guards out of the city, today he was going to inspect the Liao and Song Dynasty fields, after Lu Zifei established this field, the biggest beneficiaries were those vampire-like merchants, although they took the lion's head, but the people of Hebei could still drink a little soup.
Taxation is the most direct benefit to the Yamen, with money they can do more things, Hebei is inseparable from the field, and the Liao State is also inseparable, where Han Qi can learn about the latest news of the Liao State, but these insignificant gossip to others are extremely important to him.
To deal with the behemoth of Liao, when you can't directly confront it head-on, you have to start from elsewhere, economy, agriculture, and commerce are all alternative wars, and what Liao is not good at is what they are good at in the Song people.
Fan Zhongyan in the northwest had already realized this, although there was a field in Hebei, but the northwest in the hands of Fan Zhongyan fully supported the merchants, as long as they went to Western Xia, Qingtang, Uighur, Uighur merchants, they would be protected by the northwest military.
In addition to the special seaports of Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Dengzhou, the northwest became the second largest trading market in the Great Song Dynasty, and in the hands of Fan Zhongyan, Chang'an may return to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The lush wheat field indicates the hope of life, Fan Zhongyan likes to watch this scene very much, everything else is false, only real food is the right way, the royal way, he only regrets that he realized this truth a little late.
This idea is basically the same as Han Qi's, and the national contradiction that they are committed to reform is actually the most stupid way to choose, no wonder when he corresponded with Lu Zifei at that time, Lu Zifei told him that no matter what he did, he would not succeed.
Dali became the land of the Great Song Dynasty, which also allowed Fan Zhongyan to see a different way of reform, which also had drawbacks, but it was much better than his straightforward way at the beginning, after having enough land, the imperial court would have enough time to slowly eliminate the problem of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses.
Lu Zifei's method of outward expansion was not the first one he used, whenever the land annexation was so serious that it could not be stopped, then the dynasty was about to face extinction, and the new dynasty began, and everyone redivided the land, so the cycle of repetition caused the replacement of dynasties from generation to generation, so land will always be the core problem on the land of China.
Seeing that Fan Zhongyan was in a good mood, Chong Shiheng said, "Did the adults think of anything happy?" It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all. โ
Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "If the matter of Wangbei Marquis overthrowing Dali is not too much to be crowned a king with a different surname during the period of Taizu and Taizong, it may be a little difficult in this dynasty, unless he can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun like the name of the marquis given to him by the emperor." โ
Chong Shiheng said: "I haven't had much contact with Wangbeihou, but he gives me the feeling that I can't see through, I heard that he has already made such a grand wish, if you want to say who can accomplish this amazing goal in this dynasty, I feel that he is the only one." โ
Fan Zhongyan saw Chong Shiheng's constipated expression and said: "If you want to laugh, laugh, don't suffocate your body, I met him here at the beginning, and all the plans he told me here that day have been realized, and you have heard the news from Xixia, the roots are rotten." โ
Chong Shiheng said: "Di Qing is stuck in the quagmire of the court, and it is unlikely that Zhang Qi will come back, what do you think of the Northwest Army." โ
"The Northwest Army was an experimental team at the beginning, and now it has played its role, don't look like you will see them again in your lifetime, it is necessary to raise a new army, no matter how the situation develops in that direction in the future, there is a combative army, and we can deal with the situation at any time."
"What the adult said is exactly what his subordinates think, is it true that my lord and I have a legendary heart?"
