…

After Mei went down, it took a while for Zhao Ji to suppress the irritability in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Ji remembered the question he asked before.

But from Wang Huang down, no one seems to be willing to answer the question asked by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji suddenly remembered: "Mei Zhili just said that it was because of Hua Shigang, because of the Bureau, because of Zhu Mian's father and son, that Fang La and them rebelled?" ”

Hua Shigang has been looting for sixteen or seven years one after another, which has become the biggest malpractice of his dynasty in the southeast region, to say that Zhao Ji doesn't know at all, it is too underestimated Zhao Ji.

But Zhao Ji is too obsessed with building Genyue.

Moreover, after sixteen or seventeen years of looting, Zhao Ji thought that the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty was enough to support him to build a small garden.

Furthermore, Qin Shi Huang built Afang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Zhang Palace, Shanglin Garden, Kunming Pond, and Tang Taizong built Daming Palace, which great emperor did not build construction?

Therefore, Zhao Ji chose to turn a blind eye to the disadvantages of Huashigang.

"Fang La's rebellion, is it really related to Huashigang?" Zhao Ji felt that there was a possibility.

"This can also explain why everyone from Wang Huang and below is divided into the reasons for the rebellion." Zhao Ji thought to himself: "They are protecting my face." ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji said: "Okay, you don't have to cover up for me anymore, Fang La has already gathered millions of mobs, can these things be covered up?" ”

Zhao Ji then directly named: "Tong Aiqing, you are in charge of the military intelligence, don't say that you don't know the reason for Fang La's rebellion." ”

Seeing that the matter could not be hidden, Zhao Ji seemed to have the intention of taking responsibility for himself, Tong Guan said: "What Mei Shilang said is true, the officials in the southeast went to the village to visit the households, and searched for strange flowers and stones everywhere under the banner of His Majesty's royal use. When moving, if the flowers and stones are tall and heavy, they will tear down the walls and destroy the courtyard, and they will also take the opportunity to extort, and even rob the valuable things in the owner's house. This has led to a huge amount of resentment among the population. Take Nafangla as an example: Qingxi County in Muzhou is a place with lush mountains and forests, which is not only densely populated but also rich in products. Fang La has a lacquer garden, which can be regarded as a standard upper household. However, the Bureau of Manufacture, which is responsible for the manufacture of utensils, often comes to extort the production of the lacquer garden, and does not pay the remuneration according to the regulations, which in fact becomes a disguised donation. This made Fang La almost bankrupt. Therefore, Fang La rose up. ”

It was the first time Zhao Ji had heard of these things, and he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Didn't I give money for everything I wanted, why did those officials mistakenly die?" ”

Wang Hao, Tong Guan and others can't always say directly, at the beginning the imperial court gave money, but your old man's appetite is too big, so big that the wealth of the Song Dynasty can't satisfy your old man's huge appetite, in order to get power from your old man, Cai Jing and others can only let Zhu Mian and his son play freely, as long as their father and son don't poke out the big basket and can send Hua Shigang to your old man to Bianliang City, Tokyo, Cai Jing and others will turn a blind eye to the southeast.

Seeing that Wang Huang, Tong Guan and the others stopped talking again, Zhao Ji wanted to reprimand and ask.

Liang Shicheng, who was standing behind Zhao Ji, saw this, and immediately took a step forward, and then reminded Zhao Ji in a whisper: "This matter may involve the official family, so it is better for the official family to wait in private to ask the minister who knows the inside story." ”

After Liang Shicheng reminded him of this, Zhao Ji remembered that he was the culprit of Hua Shigang, and it was really possible that this matter had something to do with him, and it was really not appropriate to ask in front of so many courtiers.

Therefore, Zhao Ji temporarily suppressed his anger and said: "No matter who is involved in this matter, I will investigate it to the end!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ji changed the topic and said: "Then let's talk about it, how to solve the rebellion of Fang La?" ”

This time, everyone can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, because if they shirk it again, their rule may be overthrown by Fang La.

Deng Xunwu was the first to stand up and said: "Since ancient times, the imperial court has only two ways to deal with the mob rebellion, there are only two ways to recruit an and suppress it, Zhao'an, Fang La's gang is too heavy at present, and the members are too mixed, the minister feels that it is difficult to recruit An, and the safe plan is to use it together, the minister suggested that stop recovering Yanyun and let the western army that is about to gather go south directly to quell the chaos, and at the same time send someone to recruit An Fangla. ”

"Stop recovering Yanyun?"

The dream of recovering Yanyun is the dream of the successive emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Ji has prepared too much, too much for this.

Therefore, let Zhao Ji give up the plan to recover Yanyun that can be implemented immediately, how can Zhao Ji be willing?

Seeing that millions of people had revolted in the southeast, and Zhao Ji still remembered the recovery of Yanyun, Deng Xunwu immediately said: "Although the Liao people's momentum has been frustrated by the Jurchens, they have not rebelled, and their country is still standing." The border ministers cater to it, write it as an incident, and listen to it by mistake, and it must not be overlooked. The ancestors swore that once defeated, there may be unforeseen changes. Now that there is such a big change in the southeast, the matter of recovering Yanyun must never be mentioned again. ”

Deng Xunwu said to Zhao Ji and looked at Wang Huang.

Deng Xunwu's meaning is obvious: "The situation is already like this, if you still insist on recovering Yanyun, when something happens in the future, you, as the prime minister, will have to bear the responsibility, so you quickly dispel the idea of recovering Yanyun, and join me to persuade the emperor not to think about recovering Yanyun anymore." ”

Deng Xunwu looked at Tong Guan again, and said to Tong Guan with his eyes: "You provoked the recovery of Yanyun, and now that the southeast is in rebellion, it is no longer possible to recover Yanyun, why don't you quickly turn around and join me to persuade the emperor to stop dreaming of recovering Yanyun, and make meritorious contributions." ”

And yet—

Zhao Ji is not the only one who recovers Yanyun's dream, Wang Hao and Tong Guan are also deeply trapped in this dream.

And whether it is Wang Hao or Tong Guan, they are not people who give up easily, how could they give up the dream they have insisted on for many years because of the Fang La uprising?

Therefore, Wang Hao and Tong Guan both chose to ignore Deng Xunwu's eyes.

Seeing that Wang Hao and Tong Guan did not stand up, Deng Xunwu stomped his feet, and then bowed to Zhao Ji on the ground, and said affectionately: "Your Majesty, please take a look at today's court, is there anything comparable to Zhao Pu?" The handsome handsome, is there anything comparable to Cao Bin and Pan Mei? Can the essence of the armor be compared to the beginning of the founding of the country? At that time, with Taizong's Shenwu, Zhao Pu's strategy, Cao Bin, and Pan Mei's generals, they won all battles and conquered all directions, but only several attacks on Yanyun ended in failure. Not then, but today? Today's internal and external troubles of the Great Song Dynasty are at a critical moment of life and death. And don't say anything about sending troops to Yanyun. A hundred years of vow, once abandoned, I am afraid that once the military revolution moves, Chinese insects, plants and trees will not be allowed to rest! ”

After listening to what Deng Xunwu said, Zheng Zhongju suddenly felt a little itchy in his spine.

No need to look, no need to touch, Zheng Zhongju also knew that he must be sweating.

Zheng Zhongju suddenly realized that he really couldn't talk about recovering Yanyun anymore, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty might lose the country because of it.

Therefore, Zheng Zhongju then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, keep the ancestor's country and govern the world well, we are worthy of the ancestor, now Fang La has gathered millions of people to rebel, the world is in danger, and we can't talk about recovering Yanyun!" ”

Seeing that Zheng Zhongju, who was originally in favor of recovering Yanyun, also stood on Deng Xunwu's side to oppose the recovery of Yanyun, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be a little shaken: "Give up recovering Yanyun?" ”

If Yanyun is not recovered, then Tong Guan, who has the great merit of recovering the Qingtang Dynasty, can already retire now, because there is nothing worth Tong Guan's trouble.

Although Tong Guan is over sixty years old, Tong Guan feels that his body is still very strong, and he is not willing to just lie on the merit book and wait for death.

Therefore, Tong Guan couldn't let Deng Xunwu and Zheng Zhongju ruin his dream of recovering Yanyun.

Therefore, Tong Guan snorted coldly, and then said: "Alarmist! Can a gang of traitors stop the dream of my Song dynasty for more than 160 years? Now, the Khitan is falling apart, and the Jurchens have lost the Khitan one after another, and even their own capital has been lost, and there is more than one. If we don't send troops to recover Yanyun now, we will never be able to recover Yanyun! ”

Wang Huang and Zhang Bangchang made a look.

Zhang Bangchang immediately understood, and then stood up and said: "If our Great Song Dynasty does not recover Yanyun, Yanyun will either return to Jurchen, Western Xia, or Dadan, no matter which side of these three parties is returned, our Great Song Dynasty will inevitably repeat the nightmare of the Khitan going south to plunder every year at the beginning of the founding of the country, and then we have to send a large army to fight with Hu Lu every year, so in order for our Great Song Dynasty to no longer be harassed by the Hu people, it is imperative to recover Yanyun." ”

Wang Hao and Tong Guan opened their mouths, and their disciples and disciples immediately opened fire, talking about the benefits and inevitability of recovering Yanyun.

Deng Xunwu and Zheng Juzhong also insisted on their opinions, saying that Fang La's side had gathered millions of people and had cut off the economic lifeline of the Great Song Dynasty, how to recover Yanyun, and what to use to recover Yanyun?

The two sides quarreled, and when they were excited, they even had the potential to fight.

Zhao Ji's brain melon kernel was about to be blown up by these people.

Zhao Ji wanted to leave.

But now that the strongest western army in the Northern Song Dynasty has begun to gather in the Daimyo's Mansion, the battle to recover Yanyun is about to start, on the other hand, Fang La has gathered millions of people to cut off the economic lifeline of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to let it go.

Therefore, even if Zhao Ji wanted to go, he couldn't.

After holding back his irritability and listening for a while, Zhao Ji felt that both sides made sense, but neither of them could satisfy him.

Zhao Ji then looked around to see if anyone could stop this seemingly endless quarrel, and it was best to come up with another proposition that could convince him.

After glancing around, Zhao Ji suddenly saw that Cai in the corner was still there looking at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, and the quarrels around him didn't seem to have any effect on him, as if he was a senior monk.

This made Zhao Ji's brows frown, and he said secretly: "Is Cai still indifferent to this major event that may affect the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Thinking of all the surprises that Cai Ying brought him during this time, and then thinking that the point that Zhang Bangchang said just now was exactly what Cai Ying mentioned not long ago, Zhao Ji suddenly said: "Cai still Aiqing, what do you think of the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

As soon as Zhao Ji's words fell, everyone looked at Cai Yan, the junior military attache with the deepest seniority, the lowest rank, and the youngest in the Vertical Arch Palace......
