Under the cannon of the Song army, the Jin Dynasty was difficult to resist even if there were thousands of troops and horses, and finally disappeared in the dust of history. In this Song-Jin War, Zhao Gou rewarded all the generals, and those generals deserved to be the first meritorious ministers, and he was not stingy, and gave great rewards, crowned kings, marquises, etc.

Zhao Gou personally crowned the nine princes, and assigned them to various places to command the army. Today's position as a general is not in vain, under the advocacy of Zhao Gou, all of them are real power, and the Nine Kings guard the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou is very relieved.

Zhao Yougong did not command the army, but became the right prime minister to stay in the court, that is to say, from then on, the left prime minister is a civil minister, the right prime minister is a military general, and the Taiwei is not the highest position of a military general. The prime ministers on the left and right stand in a row on the left and right, each leading the ministers.

In order to balance the ministers of the government and the opposition, Li Gang stepped down from the position of prime minister of Zuo and was replaced by Zhu Zhuo, not Pan Lianggui, Li Guang and others.

Ten years after the establishment of the industry, Zhao Gou ascended the throne to make great efforts for the emperor, the country and the people were safe, and some Jurchens also intermarried with the Han people, which was all the credit of Zhao Gou. In addition, the Great Song Dynasty produced a large number of capable people, not to mention that all the civil and military officials were shrewd and capable ministers, at least from the imperial court to the local prefectures and counties, there were very few corrupt and favoritist people.

Although after the Song and Jin Wars, the Great Song Dynasty spent a lot of financial resources, and many people died on the battlefield, but Zhao Gou's two years of rectification made the Great Song Dynasty a hundred wastes to be revitalized, and a group of talented people emerged no matter what kind of industry, these people were very supportive of the policies implemented by Zhao Gou, and they also became a new group of emperors and grandsons, rich and rich, and successfully squeezed out the old forces.

At the beginning, Zhao Gou implemented the reform of the law to strengthen the country, and there were many stubborn people, especially the merchants and local gentry on the rich side, who felt that Zhao Gou had cut off his own back road, which caused dissatisfaction. However, now they don't dare to say anything, and the power in their hands is gradually lost, and they are no longer able to return to the sky.

Ten years after the establishment of the industry, the Western Xia army came to attack.

At this time, Li Qianshun, the eldest son of Li Bingchang, the eldest son of Huizong Chongzong and the fourth emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, adopted the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and took the opportunity to seize a large area of land when the Song and Jin allied to attack Liao. At the beginning, the Western Xia army was repeatedly defeated in front of the Song army and never won.

Since Li Qianshun came into power, he, like Zhao Gou, first rectified the rule of officials, determined the system of centralized monarchy, and put an end to the dictatorship of foreign relatives and nobles that appeared in the Ti Dynasty. In addition, he forcibly promulgated a hierarchical system of official titles, which were divided into seven grades except for the emperor and the heir to the throne, and the political system of Western Xia became more and more complete.

In addition, the tax was reduced, the agriculture and mulberry were emphasized, and the water conservancy was built, and under the hard work of Li Qianshun, the Western Xia country was strong, the politics were clear, and the social economy was well developed. Because Li Qianshun's mother and grandmother were both Han Chinese, he loved the culture of the Central Plains, and even taught Sinology in China and trained officials.

Li Qianshun, Chongzong of Western Xia, also wanted to take the opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army, and he did not prevent the generals in the Western Xia army from privately harassing the Great Song Dynasty border passes, and it was precisely because of his behavior that he caused more serious consequences. That is, Zhao Gou ordered the army to attack Western Xia.

In the face of the Song Dynasty's cannons, which were extremely lethal weapons, the Western Xia army was defeated and defeated, and Liu Qi and Yue Fei worked together to occupy the territory of the Western Xia, and finally Li Qianshun was afraid of the Song army's combat effectiveness, and he took the initiative to sue for peace.

Zhao Gou accepted his peace request, but forcibly incorporated the Western Xia army into the Song army, and sent the Song army to take over the army in the Western Xia and control the Western Xia army, that is, to choke the lifeblood of the Western Xia State. Even if Li Qianshun was unwilling, he could only agree, the only advantage was that Zhao Gou did not completely destroy the Western Xia, but the army was taken over by the Song army, he had no power in his hands, and some national policies were under the command of the Song Dynasty, which made Li Qianshun lose his wife and lose his army, and suffered heavy losses.

Yue Fei and Liu Qi directly entered the Western Xia Kingdom and took over the military power, and the Western Xia also existed in name only and became part of the territory of the Song Dynasty, which also expanded the territory of the Song Dynasty again, even beyond the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty really rose.

Since then, no foreign enemy has dared to eyed the Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has become more prosperous and the national strength has become stronger.

In the spring of the eleventh year of Jianye, Zhao Gou made up his mind to do a big thing, and he called Zhao Yougong, Zhu Zhuo, Li Guang, Zhao Ding, Pan Lianggui, Gao Chong and others to the study to discuss together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have thought about it for a long time and decided to move the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to Youzhou!"

"Does the Holy Lord want to move the capital?" Everyone was stunned and stunned, and everyone was shocked, and their faces were in disbelief.

Zhao Gou nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is the relocation of the capital!" Now the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and Bianjing City is just a place, especially in the face of Huining Mansion and Dading Mansion, the road is really a little far, I decided to move the capital to Youzhou after thinking about it, so that I can control the overall situation. ”

"If you can't move the capital to Youzhou, then in the future, the Mongols will invade the Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that the emperor will be far away, and it will be difficult for the troops stationed at the border to resist, and it will be too cumbersome to transport supplies and other things, so I decided to put the capital in Youzhou."

Li Guang objected: "Moving the capital is a major national event, and if you are not careful, it will affect the fortunes of the country." Youzhou has been a military center since the Han Dynasty, and it is a place where soldiers must fight. If the capital is moved to Youzhou, the minister does not approve of the emperor's approach. ”

"There are no mountains and rivers as a barrier in the land of Youzhou, not only are they easy to attack by water and land, but they are even close to Mongolia and other countries. If Mongolia really attacked the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that Youzhou will really bear the brunt, and what will happen at that time? Besides, the land of Youzhou has always been a military town, and there is no palace, etc., if you move it, you must rebuild it, just afraid of losing the people and money! ”

"Li Xiang is right, and the ministers also mean this!" Everyone objected to Zhao Gou's move of the capital to Youzhou, only Zhao Yougong and Gao Gou were silent, especially Gao Gou He was the commander of the forbidden army, and he had a lot of contact with Zhao Gou, knowing that Zhao Gou had always wanted to move the capital to Youzhou, just because Bianjing was too small, but although he was a prince, he rarely participated in the court dispute.

Zhao Yougong is the right prime minister, he doesn't understand why Zhao Gou wants to move the capital, in fact, Bianjing City has developed well over the years, not only business is prosperous during the day, but even at night is not closed, under Zhao Gou's governance, even the thieves are gone, he can't figure out why Zhao Gou wants to move the capital, but he is one of Zhao Gou's closest people, so he kept silent and did not directly object.

Zhao Gou saw that everyone was against moving the capital, and finally reluctantly dismissed the idea of moving the capital, he thought that the time might be earlier, otherwise everyone would not object, even Zhao Yougong was at a loss, silent, he knew that no one would agree with his idea.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to move the capital to Youzhou?" Everyone dispersed, Zhao Yougong stayed, he looked at Zhao Gou solemnly, and asked loudly.

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Yes, moving the capital is the most important thing. Nowadays, Bianjing is far from being able to meet the needs of the increasingly powerful state of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone manage the vast territory. If you have been in Bianjing City, I am afraid that the future of the Great Song Dynasty will be confused, and chaos will occur again in the Central Plains. ”

Zhao Yougong was silent for a while, and then said: "Since the emperor insists on his own ideas, then I don't need to say much, then tomorrow the emperor and I will go to a place and meet someone!" ”

"Who?" Zhao Gou asked in surprise.

Zhao Yougong smiled and said, "You will naturally know when you arrive!" ”

After Zhao Yougong said this, he got up and left, he didn't say much, but left Zhao Gou a lot of imagination, which made Zhao Gou very curious, what kind of person had such a big face, let Zhao Yougong personally say to himself, let him go to meet, which made Zhao Gou a little impatient to see him.
