Zhao Xingde did not make a noise in the speech, a blockbuster, people-oriented, the division of power and power, the Kwantung scholars, whether it was a naval officer or a former official, all of them were shaken, and even like Xu Xiaoyun, they directly regarded this as the hope of ZTE. In contrast, the reaction of the Kansai officers was much more prosaic, and the system of governing the country of the five prefectures was extremely solid, and as a sergeant, he only hoped for the peace and security of the country and the people. For the people-oriented approach, even people like Gao Su and Liu Zhijian, who have both civil and military skills, just feel novel.

Among Zhao Xingde's subordinates, there are also some veteran officers of the Navy Division, who hardly care about such moral theories, for them, the "things in books" are too illusory, far less real than military regulations, and they only care about specific things. These old officers are the most reassuring people in Jinwei Mansion, in Zhou He's eyes, these old officers, as long as they are paid enough, will never cause a big incident. For Xu Xiaoyun, Ma Yuan, Feng Mi and others, Zhou He was not so relieved, if a knife had thoughts, the master would not be at ease no matter what. However, the commander of the South China Sea Navy Division is Zhao Xingde, although Zhao Xingde rarely participates in the talks, he is the biggest backer of these Qingliu officers. Zhou He respected him as a person, and because of the relationship between the eldest princess of Wu, he tried his best to cover him up in the secret report. For example, Zhao Xingde made this macro discussion today, and Zhou He also described it as a scholarly discussion, trying to deliberately downplay its influence.

"Husband and wife are heavenly principles, tsk, Lord Zhao has three wives and four concubines, this is human desire."

After making the day's voyage record, Zhou He came out of the cabin and saw Zhao Xingde alone on the back deck looking at the shore, so he walked over and joked to him. This kind of joke is only dared by a few generals such as Zhou He. Zhao Xingde was full of thoughts about the evolution of the future situation in Song Liaoxia, and was interrupted by Zhou He. The identity of Zhou He, the secret agent, and the origin of the eldest princess of Wu, Zhao Xingde already knew it. He has always had a loss in his heart, and he didn't have time to think about it for a while, so he was embarrassed and explained: "General Zhou's words are serious, Zhao has three wives, why are there four concubines?" As soon as the words came out, I regretted it. What kind of person is Zhou He, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Zhou reported to His Royal Highness Wu Guo on behalf of him, and when he saw Lord Zhao on the independent deck late at night, he sighed why did he come to the four concubines?" What do you think? ”

"Never." Zhao Xingde knew that he was joking, so he pretended to be angry and said, "How can Lord Zhou frame Zhao." ”

"Lord Zhao's face, if you don't report it, then don't report it." Zhou He laughed, stood beside Zhao Xingde, and said curiously, "The general has been standing on the deck, what are you looking at?" "It is extremely rare for the leader of the secret agent in charge of one side of the Jinwei Mansion to have such a harmonious relationship with the general of the unified army, in addition to the origin of the eldest princess of Wu, Zhou He's eight-sided exquisiteness is also a very important reason. In order to win the trust of the imperial court, Zhao Xingde let Zhou He recruit officers when he formed the water division, Zhou He only planted a limited number of hidden piles, most of the officers of the South China Sea Water Division were rare talents, and Zhao Xingde himself recruited officers, and he could only do this.

"I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." Zhao Xingde looked at the full moon hanging in the sky, for some reason, the moon at night seemed very large, like a big silver plate hanging above the sea, the moon shadow was hazy, as if there were cinnamon branches swaying and swaying. "After this battle, if the world is peaceful, I will disarm and return to the field, deal with family affairs, and write a book quietly. What do you think, Lord Zhou? Zhao Xingde said casually, Zhou He's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "My lord is in the prime of life, how can he retreat bravely." ”

Unconsciously, Zhou He's heart was slightly relieved, and Zhao Xingde had the attitude of retiring after success, so he was not so embarrassed.

"After the Northern Expedition, the military power of Yue Cao, Liu Han and others had to be slowly cut down......"

Deng Su put down the red pen, exhaled lightly, and rubbed his temples a little tiredly.

He is a scheming person, full of all kinds of calculations, even if it seems that people are resting, in fact, his brain is still spinning, even if he wants to rest, he can't stop. Therefore, putting aside the major events in front of him for the time being and thinking about the distant future has become a special means of relaxation for him. However, even if he made up his mind to cut the feudal domain, in this Northern Expedition, he still adhered to the attitude of "no need to suspect people, no suspicion in employing people", and almost gave full authority to let go of Cao Liangshi and Yue Fei, and the Prime Minister's Mansion only tried its best to raise self-respecting grain and grass to send to the army. The Northern Expedition was very smooth, and Deng Su's attitude played a very important role. In the DPRK, Deng Su's prestige is also increasing day by day.

On the several cases in front of Deng Su, there were twists and turns of the Ministry of Rites to re-screen and assess the students, circles and dots, and Zhu was very detailed, and he revised it almost from beginning to end. Compared with the Northern Expedition, Deng Su was more concerned with controlling the state schools in various places. In fact, most of the state and county schools are still centrists, but the original Bianliang Chongchen was wiped out by the Liao army, and the school election had a hundred benefits to these people without harm, so the Li Society encouraged a little, and they immediately took advantage of this to control the power of various places. These gentry are best co-opted, however, they are also the most likely to betray, and Deng Su himself knows it deeply, so as soon as he ascends to the throne, he spares no effort to control the state and county schools in various places with both soft and hard measures.

The Ministry of Rites promoted the assessment and screening of students, which was a breakthrough in the Prime Minister's control of state and county schools.

Huang Zhoushan advocated the system of school recommendation by the state and county schools, only saying that since the local shepherds were elected by the students, the local officials such as Xuezheng should not interfere with the assessment of the students, and even the professors of the school only had the responsibility of professors, however, Huang Zhoushan himself did not expect that the system of school recommendation he advocated would be realized so quickly, he did not particularly explain how to evaluate the students at first, and later, because of the big matter, Huang Zhoushan easily stopped speaking out and interfering in politics, not to mention, no matter how high his reputation is, he is only a literati, and his words may not be effective. Therefore, under the struggle for power and profit, the assessment standards of various states and counties are different, and the quality of the students is even better, especially in order to raise money and food, and open up the road of donation, which makes Sven even more discredited. In this way, not only is there a lot of criticism among the people, but the voice among the gentry is also getting louder and louder, and it is hoped that the state and county students urgently need to screen the good and the bad, and get rid of the people who are indiscriminate. Deng Su saw this point and instructed the Ministry of Rites to take the lead in proposing a single style in the world, and the imperial court would formulate a unified standard for the assessment of students, taking advantage of the general trend of the Northern Expedition and the world's material discussions, to suppress the states and counties to comply with the implementation, so as to achieve the purpose of indirectly influencing the study of the states and counties.

While he was groaning, a rush of footsteps and shouts suddenly came out of the door.

"Deng Xianggong is not here? Hurry up and get out of the way, I have something urgent to see Deng Xianggong! ”

Deng Su heard that this was the voice of Lan Shaozhong in the Ministry of War, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the noise?" ”

"The lowly Lan Shaozhong has something important to report!" Lan Shaozhong glared at the Xiangfu guards who were blocking him, although Deng Su trusted him, the Forbidden Army's Xiangfu Guards were still one of the forbidden areas that several military departments could not touch. As soon as he saw the guards get out of the way, Lan Shaozhong strode into the study, with an anxious face, and said in a deep voice: "The humble post has just received an urgent report, Cao Gu's army has passed Yuezhou, but it has not returned to Xiangyang in the west, but has gone down the river, if it is not blocked along the way, the army will come to the city tomorrow." No wonder he was so anxious, after getting the urgent report from the Yuezhou Water Division, Lan Shaozhong was shocked, there were a number of secret agents in Cao Gu's army, but no news was sent back, Cao Gu's intentions can be seen. Although there are 30,000 or 40,000 horses inside and outside Ezhou City, the battalions are not subordinate to each other, and since Cao Gu was able to conceal the staff of the military department from Yuezhou, he knew that he had no internal response in the Ezhou army.

"Rat daring?!" Deng Suyuan opened his eyes and shouted angrily, "What about Lin Shiyi? Is he going to rebel too! ”

Cao Gu is only a deputy general, and Lin Shiyi is the commander who went south to aid Guangzhou, this person has always been old and serious, but he didn't expect something to happen.

"General Lin is afraid that he has been coerced by the chaotic army," Lan Shaozhong said worriedly, "There are still some escorts and staff officers in the army, but I am afraid that I will ...... it."

Soon after Deng Su won the phase, he asked Lan Shaozhong to be the staff of the Ministry of War, he regarded himself as Deng Xianggong's confidant, and spared no effort to serve his life, but because he had too little experience, as soon as he encountered such a rebellious event, he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly came to see Deng Su, hoping that he would have an idea. When Deng Su saw his expression, he sighed in his heart, if he talked about the talents under his hands, he was far inferior to Chen Dong and even Zhao Xingde. However, he did not blame Lan Shaozhong, after a little thought, he calmed down and ordered: "Don't panic, send someone to inform Governor Liu's mansion and ask him to mobilize the officials to go to the street curfew. As a matter of urgency, I have a letter of filial piety here, and you will personally lead the people to protect the safety of His Majesty. It is necessary to isolate the inside and outside, and never let the small people enter the palace to disturb the ascension of the holy car, nor can they put a small piece of the palace out. After speaking, he casually took out a prime minister's decree that had already been sealed from under the desk, and handed over the power of the palace guards to Lan Shaozhong, obviously ready for a long time.

Lan Shaozhong can sit in the position of the staff Shilang, naturally he is not a fool, Cao Gu has 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the reason why he brazenly came to Ezhou must be due to internal response, and he is fighting the idea of replacing it in one fell swoop. Deng Su, as the prime minister, is inseparable from the Cao family, so the only possibility for Cao Gu to occupy the title of righteousness is His Majesty in the palace. Whether His Majesty is involved or not, he must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Cao family's comrades.

"Obedience!" Lan Shaozhong's mood was also a little calmer, and he immediately took the order to go out to do errands.

"Inside the city, outside the city......" Deng Su pondered for a moment, called the guards, and ordered: "Quickly summon General Wang Guiwang to come and discuss important matters." ”
