Chapter 406: The Duke of Tseun should be king

Above the Golden Palace, Zhao Ji was beaming, and he had just taken back Youyan, which was tantamount to an earth-shattering feat for the Great Song Dynasty.

This feat, the generation of male lord Chai Rong did not do it, Taizong Taizu did not do it, and the hard-working father and brother did not do it, but he did it.

Even with the ministers there are rewards, Zhao Ji looked at Yang Lin, unhappy, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Yang Aiqing's resignation from the prince moved the government and the opposition, although he was well aware of the righteousness and still had some grievances, I couldn't treat him badly.

He didn't know that Yang Lin was not worried about this, but that his plan for the benefit of the country and the people could not be implemented, and he frowned when he saw that the huge empire continued to sink on this road. Is Da Song rich or not? The Great Song Dynasty was too rich, but out of Bianliang Kaifeng Mansion, the further north he went, the poorer he became, and the fertile soil of Hebei became a poor and remote country.

Zhao Ji coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing." ”

Yang Lin was pondering, and was stunned for a moment before realizing that the emperor had called him, and stepped out of the column and hugged his fists and said, "The minister is here." ”

Yang Aiqing took back Youyan, which was a great achievement, and he should have given the king the title of Yandi, but Aiqing insisted on not accepting it. I can't bear to let the meritorious man not get a reward, Aiqing, what reward do you say you want? ”

I want to straighten the canal, Yang Lin slandered in his heart, but this must be unspeakable, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Youyan's merit, the primary credit lies in Your Majesty's strategizing, and the blessing is all over the sky; Secondly, in the military generals are brave, the three armies are killed, and Weichen just coincides with the meeting. If Your Majesty really wants to reward them, the ministers ask Your Majesty to reward the families of the soldiers at the border gates from being exempted from the tax for three years, allocate funds to appease the relatives of the deceased soldiers, and properly resettle the injured soldiers. ”

"Quasi-play." Zhao Ji felt more comfortable in his heart, Yang Aiqing really didn't want the prince, I can still wronged you, and I will slowly compensate you.

As for taking out money to appease the border soldiers, it should have been done, and the Great Song Dynasty is not short of money now. The annual coins from the Yunzhou Alliance alone are enough to house these soldiers, and there are even a lot of leftovers.

Originally, it was a big household that ate the finances of the imperial court, and the Qinlong area in the northwest has now become the second Jiangnan because of the tea and horse trade road, and the taxes paid are second only to the city and the city.

Yang Lin's actions made many ministers look sideways, and they all re-examined the emperor's close ministers, including the most deviant champion since the Song Dynasty.

Yang Lin's expression was as usual, and he slowly retreated to his position, next to him was Taishi Cai Jing, who was allowed to sit on a chair and go to the morning court, which was also a rare favor.

Cai Jing and Yang Lin glanced at each other, chuckled at each other, got up and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Shaozai has made such a meritorious achievement, although he knows that he is righteous and refuses to accept the prince's title, the old minister proposes to be crowned the prince of the country." ”

Although the title of Guogong is very high, second only to Wang Jue, it is not uncommon in the Great Song Dynasty, and Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu, who were driven out of Bianliang by Yang Lin, both have the title of Guogong.

However, Yang Lin's age is too young, and it is still a bit rare to be crowned a prince at this age.

Zhao Ji didn't want to think about it, so he immediately agreed and asked the Ministry of Rites to discuss what kind of national prince should be sealed.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yang Lin and Cai Jing gathered together and chatted a few gossips, and the two brothers walked out side by side, and came up to say hello when they passed by. These two people are from Jiangmen, and they know that Yang Lin's words today are enough to make hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Youyan die for it.

"Shaozai, congratulations to Shaozai for making this great achievement, recovering the homeland of the Han family, and it will surely last for a hundred generations."

Yang Lin chuckled and said: "The old minister is joking, if it weren't for the Western Army trained by the old minister, where would there be such feats." ”

Cai Jing also echoed: "This is true, the family has contributed a lot to the Great Song Dynasty for generations, and it can be said that it is the first general of our dynasty." ”

The face of the breeder turned red, which was quite useful, and it was really happy to listen to their evaluation of the breeder.

The old seed is much calmer, the clouds are light and the wind is light, after all, he has seen a lot of wind and waves, and he knows these two people in front of him too well, they praise you to the sky, and they do not delay the rectification of you.

"Yang Shaozai attacked the Jurchens this time, and after killing Yan Wu and begging for purchase, I am afraid that the Jin people will not give up, and they must be dike to negotiate peace with the Liao people." The planter said earnestly, frowning, obviously really worried about the country and the people.

Yang Lin nodded secretly, the old breed deserves to be a good general of the country, and he was erected in the Privy Council by himself, and he did not complain, but thought about the country very thoroughly.

Such people are more comfortable to use, but their Western Army likes the whole thing too much, and the old seed is their spiritual leader, and it must be controlled in Bianliang, and it is still very easy to use occasionally.

He has no shortage of strategic vision, and in a place like the Privy Council, it is actually very suitable for him.

Let him go to the northwest to deal with those broken things with dog skins upside down, and suppress that group of arrogant soldiers, which is the double destruction of his body and spirit.

"The old minister can rest assured, we can't hope that the peace negotiation in Liaojin will fail, then Yelu Yanxi only seeks partiality, and has no enterprising intentions, if the Jurchens negotiate peace, he will definitely agree. We have to focus on ourselves, with Youyan Ping Domain, the Jurchen Tartars are not so terrible, I have fought with them, they are very strong, but they can fight! ”

Lao Chong and Cai Jingjing attached great importance to these words and listened carefully. Yang Lin told the two of them every detail of the battlefield and his own experience.

Yang Lin saw that the ministers were almost gone, so he smiled and said: "Today's time has come, why don't you go to my mansion and let's talk about it." ”

Several people hit it off, and each came to Zhaodefang by car, Li Yunniang saw that she was such a character, and hurriedly arranged for the back kitchen to help Yang Lin entertain guests.

After Yang Lin, Cai Jing, Seed Master Dao, and Seed Master did not hold official positions, but only sat down in order of age and teeth, Yang Lin continued to speak: "That Jurchen soldier and horse are skilled in bow horses, have good physical strength, and good endurance, especially the heavy armor elite cavalry rushing into battle, which can be described as indestructible. But their troops are actually very small, most of them are Liao soldiers, and the servants and horses are all soldiers of the Great Liao, and their fighting spirit is not high, and most of them are used as cannon fodder by the Jurchens. The only one who is stronger is the Bohai Soldiers.

Now that we are backed by the Great Wall, there is Youyan Junzhou inside, and I have sent people to build a lot of fortifications along the way, and under the heavy guard, Youyan should not be afraid of Jurchen retaliation. ”

Cai Jing immediately asked: "The Jurchen soldiers are in Daliao, I don't know how many dangerous passes and fortified cities they have conquered, are they so powerful in attacking the city?" ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "I don't know, the Khitans are perverse, the people everywhere are not happy, and the Jurchen's record of defeating 700,000 Liao soldiers is too terrifying, many places are fleeing when they hear the news, and those who desperately resist have not heard much, but those who open the door and surrender account for the majority." ”

The seed master interjected: "That's right, you look at Yunzhou Mansion, An Yan Aguda has led his troops to attack for so long, and he hasn't hit Datong City, which is proof." ”

After a while, the wine and food were put on the table, Yang Lin just wanted to persuade the wine, glanced at today's lineup, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea.
