Chapter 271: The Emperor and Dazai are in cahoots

Li Gang was silent, this official doesn't like to listen to it, so he won't listen to it? Gotta find a way to get him to listen.

"The official family, what the minister wants to say is that the Yanjing Palace that the official family wants to build is not too small?" Li Gang pointed to this drawing and said with a little dissatisfaction, at best, it is a city surrounded by fifty miles, no matter how you look at it, it is a little smaller.

Zhao Huan was stunned when he heard this, he built it according to Yanjing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, why is it so small?

"Is this city sixteen miles long and six miles wide small? Is the city forty-four miles still small? This is only six miles less than Bianjing City. It's not small, isn't it? ”

Zhao Huan felt that Li Gang was looking for something to say, history was spiraling, and the city should be getting bigger and bigger.

"Does the official family know about Shattered Leaf City? The former Tang Xi Vertical Town, the capital of the Anxi Protectorate, is thousands of miles away. Li Gang asked.

He had to explain why he felt that Yan Jingjian was too small.

"You know, wasn't Li Bai born in Broken Leaf City?" Zhao Huan nodded.

He knew that this Broken Leaf City was still because of Li Bai, and the place where he was born was an important town in the west of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Bai is a clean and clean son of a family in Guannei, his home is in Broken Leaf City, and he is the ten surnamed envoys who guard the Western Regions.

"Since the official family knows about Broken Leaf City, Broken Leaf City is surrounded by fifty-two miles. Official. The reason why Bianjing is only 50 miles around is because of the topography, it can not be expanded, an imperial capital, 52 miles around, too small and childish. ”

"Wait a minute! Let me think about it. Zhao Huan felt a little dizzy, he always thought that the city around fifty-two miles was already very large, but what was the result?

"The current Jiankang City is surrounded by sixty miles. Official, do you want to expand it? Li Gang felt that this city had a lot to offer.

Zhao Huan nodded, he thought of the contrast between Jinyang City and Taiyuan City.

Who said that history spirals upward?

He didn't know his own mother!

Zhao Huan figured it out a little, and he underestimated the incompetence of Mites.

The Song Dynasty was very small, and it was too small to build a mite Qing imperial capital!

"The matter of building the city, the ministers will plan, and when the plan is almost complete, how about showing it to the officials? Let the people of Cangzhou go to Yanjing first, and then the corresponding bricks, ashes, tiles and other workshops, as well as the excavation of the moat, are all troublesome. Li Gang said with a smile.

The idea of the official family is good, but the concrete practice must not let the official family personally and mud.

"Okay." Zhao Huan thought about it, let's expand it, anyway, the Song Dynasty is poor and only has money left.

Li Gang thought for a while and said, "There are also envoys from Goryeo, Dali, and Wa who have arrived in Bianjing and want to pay tribute. According to the past practice, the envoys of these three kingdoms will offer a lot of the characteristics of their country, and then our Great Song Dynasty will come and go, in order to show the virtue and Huaiyuan of the monarch of our Heavenly Dynasty, and achieve the purpose of guarding in Siyi. ”

"With virtue and Huaiyuan? Guarding in Siyi? This sounds familiar, where did it come from? Zhao Huan recalled in a daze, this seems to be Zhao Guangyi's national policy......

Cultivate virtue to cherish the distance.

"He is Emperor Taizong." Li Gang said in a low voice, he suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing, and the official family seemed to be particularly disgusted with Emperor Taizong.

"Got it." Sure enough, it was the national policy set by the donkey cart emperor! Pit!

Li Gang continued: "Since the time when Emperor Taizu was alive, the Dali Kingdom began to want to let me be the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and canonize him as the king of the Dali Kingdom. Let Dali be a vassal state of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"In the past one hundred and sixty years, almost once every ten years, Emperor Taizong canonized the king of Dali once as the king of the eight kingdoms of Yunnan, and then the emperor canonized the king of Dali in the Shangzhu country once Emperor Taishang Guanglu inspected the school Xikong Yunnan Jiedu envoy Shangzhu State Dali, this time the official canonization?"

Kindness? Zhao Huan was stunned, this Dali country is in a hurry to be a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, why is this not canonized?

And what kind of ghost name is Zhao Ji canonized?

What's the deal with this name, it stinks and is long!

"Tell me why? The front is not canonized, and the emperor is canonized again? Zhao Huan asked.

"Dali borders on the Great Song Dynasty and also borders on the Tubo Tribes, also borders on the Li Dynasty of the Jing Navy, and borders on the Angkor Dynasty, Dali can't beat them, so I want to be a vassal state of our Great Song Dynasty." Li Gang said cautiously, looking at the face of the official family as he spoke.

The Great Song Dynasty protects Dali? Is this a joke?

The army of the Great Song Dynasty is now in full swing with the Jin people in the north, and now there is a Zhao Gou in the south, who wants to steal his taxes for a few years by virtue of natural insurance.

He has already given power to the martial arts, and he has also driven the personal expedition, so that he can barely recover the decline of the Jin people.

Could it be that when Song Huizong and Zhao Ji were in power, he would be able to protect Dali?

What are you kidding, Zhao Huan was very angry when he remembered that in the twenty-six years, there were more than 100 peasant uprisings.

Nonsense.

However, Zhao Huan tasted Zhao Ji's words a little before he figured it out.

This Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Ji, both of them have a preference, that is, they love face.

Canonized king, what a long face!

The other emperors of the Great Song Dynasty were not so shameless, and they knew that they couldn't protect it, so they simply ignored it.

To put it nicely, the political value of canonizing vassal states is huge.

But Zhao Huan knew that he had a few catties and taels, so he would figure out his mess first.

Li Gang went on to say, "The Gao era of Dali was the prime minister, and the Duan era was the king, but the Duan family was not in power. Even if our Great Song canonized the king of Dali, there will be no substantial progress between the two countries. ”

"And Dali wants to become a vassal country and this time, Dali can take a lot of advantage, and he was unwilling to let the vassal state take advantage of it in the past, so he didn't pay attention to it. Official: Will we pay attention to Dali this time? ”

Historical events remind Duan Zhengyan, the word and reputation. After 40 years of hard work, it is irreversible in case of emergency, and the cover is like water, and the obstacle must not be obtained.

After he was canonized as king by Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he slightly changed the situation of some Gao's dictatorships, and the conscientious and conscientious management of the country, because of the improvement of the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, was rated as the first-class Ming monarch of Dali.

I can't even control the phase, and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a first-class Mingjun?

According to this standard, Zhao Huan felt that he could lie down peacefully. In the future, it will definitely be praised by Song Dynasty historians as a thousand years old.

Zhao Huan thought about it for a moment and said, "What does Dazai think is suitable?" ”

Li Gang obviously already had some answers in his heart, and he immediately said, "The minister thinks it's better not to canonize, the current king of Dali is the Shangzhu country canonized by the Emperor Taishang, and the official family is rashly canonized, so he will be given a level." If you can't add anything, just leave it dry. ”

"This time, the Dali envoys brought tens of thousands of gold and silver, Luo Qi, treasures, and rhino elephants, and cattle and horses all over the place. According to the system, it is also necessary to return the gift tenfold. ”

"The minister thought that since he was not canonized, this gift would be forgotten. Ten times the return, our Song treasury has to take half of the gift, it is not cost-effective. Li Gang knew that he had said the wrong thing before, so he quickly changed his words at this time.

Zhao Huan thought for a moment and said, "No, no, no, Dazai, you are wrong." How can you not return the gift? If you don't return the gift, am I still in the Heavenly Empire? It's also a joke to say, saying that my Da Song has a crush on his Dali's money? No, no. ”

"Gifts are exchanged, and they can't be lost."

Li Gang had a hesitation on his face, this is the new emperor he knows? He pays attention to pragmatism, how can he have a good face now?

Li Gang said puzzledly, "The official family, not canonizing the king of Dali, ignoring the policy, is the most effective policy of the royal army, one hundred and sixty years, the three feasts, the spotless, the people are shocked by the power of the sky, and they will not commit it for a hundred years." The official family, rashly canonized, rashly returned the gift, will always break this situation. ”

The best strategy for Yurong, as soon as Zhao Huan heard these words, he knew whose idea it was, and it lasted for so long.

Donkey cart emperor, don't talk about it, he's too fishy.

"No, no, no, Li Dazai misunderstood what I meant. I didn't say I wanted to be canonized. Zhao Huan sold a pass and said, "He Duan Zhengyan, doesn't he want to get rid of the control of the Gao clan and get rid of the puppet king?" ”

"I gave him a hundred pieces of foot armor and a hundred pieces of strong bows and crossbows, if he has the heart, he will take my strong bow and crossbow and kill all the people of the Gao family."

According to the price of the Great Song Dynasty's infantry armor and the value of the bow and crossbow, it is definitely not comparable to the tens of thousands of treasures, as well as cattle and sheep.

But the significance of these 100 pieces of armor and bows and crossbows is not too important to him Duan Zhengyan!

Li Gang thought for a while, nodded yes, and said, "Does the official family want them to fight?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhao Huan nodded.

They fight and mess up, which is the most in line with their own interests, and their strong troops are now in the north, and they can't even go down to Yangzhou and Lin'an, let alone Dali.

If they are in chaos, they will not find trouble with Da Song.

The price of instigating them to fight among themselves is very small, just like fighting crickets, a blade of grass can make them become dogs.

Li Gang nodded and said, "I see." The official family, the minister thought that he could give more help to the king of Dali, Duan Zhengyan. For example, how about sending some personal servants in the past? Just let the Imperial City Division take root in Dali, and the province knows nothing about Dali. ”

"The minister is also helping Duan Zhengyan, anyway, he doesn't have the manpower to use this step armor and strong bow and crossbow, so help people to the end."

Li Gang! It turns out that you are such a Li Gang!

I thought you were a minister, but I didn't expect you to be a bad belly!

"Okay, that's it." Zhao Huan nodded, and he suddenly thought of the word embarrassment......

"What about the messenger of Goryeo? What a way to put it. "A job has been arranged, but it is not over, and there are Goryeo envoys, which are rare this year, and they are gathering together to join in the fun.

Li Gang flipped the tie and said, "Since Su Shi and Mrs. Su discovered the important matter involving the Great Song Dynasty from the box of the Goryeo envoy, the court of the Great Song Dynasty knew about the wolf ambition of Goryeo. ”

"They are a dog in the hands of the Liao people, and now they are a dog in the hands of the Jin people, and the minister thinks that they are willing to give this dog to the Jin people, I don't know if they are willing to give it to the Song people?"

"Therefore, the minister arranged for the Goryeo people to enter the Honglu Temple."

"Oh, what is Dazai's opinion, how to turn Goryeo into the dog of the Great Song?" Zhao Huan asked curiously.

Li Gang replied: "Coercion and temptation." The means are not glorious, but the Goryeo people are dogs to the Liao people and the Jin people are dogs, all of which are the same truth, for their own safety and to make money. ”

"The official family, now that he has taken Pingzhou and Yuguan, it is very close to him Gaolike."

Zhao Huan nodded, this is what a prime minister should look like!

Zhao Huan is very satisfied with the prime minister he chose, he is very interesting, very talented, and does not stick to etiquette and rules, which is much better than that Li Bangyan.

"The Goryeo people didn't come to my Great Song Dynasty empty-handed, and they brought a hundred Goryeo secret colors to the official family." Li Gang said with a smile, this is a good thing, now the prince of the official family is Zhao Chen, and he is still a waste prince.

Although the official family was benevolent, he did not abolish his position as Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and theoretically, Zhao Chen was still the prince of the Great Song Kingdom.

But everyone knows that after having a new prince, the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin is afraid to be given up, and Zhao Chen will not have an excellent performance.

Then the throne is far away from Zhao Chen.

"Don't." Zhao Huan said unusually firmly, how did it take a while to arrange enemy spies around him?

He still remembers that his only son, Zhao Chen, ate pancakes for more than a month.

The person who planted the door in the palace almost bullied the pseudo-orphan and widow, and buried the mine himself?

Li Gang, where are you?

Li Gang also thought about the previous queen, and sighed, after this incident, the official family must be cautious and careful when choosing a concubine.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, the ambition of the wolf son of the Korean people cannot be like this. And the Wa Kingdom, what is the situation? Zhao Huan quickly diverted the topic, recently there have been courtiers who have been tied up, let him choose a concubine!

I can't finish the country's major affairs, how can I have time to think about this? Where is the conscience of your ministers?

Li Gang shook his head, in these three kingdoms, the affairs of the Wa Kingdom are relatively chaotic, and he said helplessly, "The Emperor Chongde of the Wa State is in charge of the government, and takes the word Dazhi in 'Yellow Emperor cultivates virtue and righteousness, and the world is greatly governed', and he specially presents a report. ”

"This time, the envoys of the Japanese state came to hope that the official family approved their year names. There is also a letter of greeting from Emperor Toba to the official family for his accession to the throne, and a letter of greeting from Emperor Shirakawa to the Emperor. ”

Zhao Huan hurriedly stretched out his hand to pause, he raised his hand and said, "You wait and let me take care of it." This Emperor Shotoku is now the day ... Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, right? ”

"In the future, he will be renamed the king of the Wa Kingdom in our Great Song Dynasty, and he is now in power, right? That Emperor Toba is the father of King Chongde? And what is the White River Emperor? ”

"It's a long story."

"Emperor Shirakawa is logically the great-grandfather of Shotoku, the grandfather of Toba, and the father of Horikawa, who is Toba's father."

"But it is rumored that the current king of the Wa Kingdom, Chongtoku, was born to Emperor Shirakawa and Fujiwara Akiko of the Imperial Temple."

"Fujiwara Akiko has always grown up in the palace and is often held in the arms of this great-grandfather Shirakawa, and it is rumored that Emperor Shirakawa and Fujiwara Akiko gave birth to Chongtoku."

Historical events remind that after the death of Emperor Shirakawa in 1129, the fourth year of the Great Reign, Fujiwara Akiko was immediately alienated by Toba, and Shotoku was forced to abdicate by Toba.

And Toba immediately sarcastically welcomed the concubine of Emperor Shirakawa, Fujiwara Taiko, and made him queen.

Zhao Huan frowned, listening to Li Gang and the system's information, it took him a long time to figure out the relationship.

Toba is a poor man, his grandfather just abdicated and refused to give up power, and he seems to have pampered his queen.

That's it, Toba is also ruthless enough, as soon as his grandfather died, he married his grandfather's concubine and set up a queen.

Obediently, worthy of being a Japanese person, sure enough, there are certain things, and there is really a tradition!

is enough to make a four-hour action blockbuster with this intricate relationship, and it really deserves to be a Japanese country!

The government of the Wa Kingdom was even more chaotic than that of the Great Song Dynasty, but it seems that this incident happened in the Wa State so unusually.

However, Zhao Huan somewhat understood some of the contexts in this complex character relationship.

That is Chongde's father Toba, who does not have a very good relationship with his grandfather, and has a lot of power in his hands.

Chongde, on the other hand, is looking for help. His reliance was on Emperor Shirakawa, who was dying.

"Li Dazai, the king of the Wa Kingdom, wants my help, has it ever been sincere?" Zhao Huan asked.

Li Gang nodded and said, "Naturally, there are, there are hundreds of beauties, and there are a thousand taels of silver." ”

"Beauty? Can this be a little special? All send beauties! Wait, Silver? Zhao Huan keenly grasped a key point.

Silver!
