In the first year of Xuanhe alone, so many undisturbing things happened, and Xuanhe discord has been revealed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The following year, Da Song's nightmare continued.

Abolishing Taoism and chasing Taoist friends has become a scar in Zhao Ji's heart, and he has been difficult to let go of for a long time.

The influence of the Songjiang Uprising is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a trend that is difficult to contain. They fought in various parts of Jingdong, haunting the areas of Qingdao, Ji, Pu, and Yun, and the local officials were terrified when they heard about it, which was a big blow to the prestige of the imperial court.

The Song-Jin alliance made substantial progress, and finally signed the "Maritime Alliance" that pushed the Great Song Dynasty into the abyss.

The last and most alarming event for the imperial court was the massive Fangla rebellion.

In October of this year, Fang La led the people to revolt, proclaimed himself the Holy Father, built the Yuan Yongle, set up officials and generals, and distinguished the rank by the turban. The rebel army soon captured Muzhou, killed thousands of officers and soldiers, and occupied Shouchang, Fenshui, Tonglu, Sui'an and other counties; At the end of the year, he waved his army to the west and conquered Shezhou again, which at this time had become an unstoppable trend.

A little bit of a piece, it can be said that the passing year is unfavorable, and the disaster is not a single line. The entire Great Song Dynasty was like a headless fly, busy.

The Song-Jin alliance didn't know whether it was good or bad, and the Song Jiang and Fangla uprisings didn't know when they would end, plus at this time there was a famine in the Huanghuai region, and for a time there was starvation all over the wilderness, the dead were each other, and the people fell into a harsh situation, and the court didn't know how to get along.

Zhao Ji was in a hurry, and he had no choice but to invite Cai Jing to the hall and asked, "Master, if there is chaos today, what will I do?" ”

However, a few years ago, Cai Jing, who was still advocating that the country was "peaceful enough to be happy, rich enough to prepare gifts", was a little cowardly at this time, he stepped forward slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is already in his prime, he is really old and weak, I wanted to do more things for Your Majesty, but I couldn't do it, so I could only recommend others." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he didn't feel abrupt. Cai Jing is forty out of seventy, and it is not easy to run errands for the imperial court, how can he still make higher demands on him?

"If the master has something to say, please say it directly, I don't know who is recommended?" Zhao Ji hurriedly asked.

Cai Jing said: "I can't understand the matter of cooperating with the Jin people for a while, so I can only ask Zhao Envoy to deal with it first, and the top priority should be the rebellion of Fang La and Song Jiang." Tong Xuanfu has led the army to the south, and I believe that there will be good news soon, but now it is the Hebei drama thief Song Jiang who is difficult to control, and he needs to send a safe person. ”

In negotiations with the Jin people, it has always been biased towards Zhao Liangsi's opinion: Lianjin to attack Liao and recover Yanyun's lost territory. Therefore, Zhao Liangsi was the chief envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate with the Jin people.

Zhao Liangsi, formerly known as Ma Zhi, was a Han resident of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and a major clan of the Liao State. He saw that the Liao Emperor was mediocre and tyrannical, politically corrupt, and the people were not able to make a living, and the rise of the Jurchen tribe had brought great pressure to the Liao State, and felt that the future of the Liao State was bleak and in danger, so he took refuge in the Song Dynasty. He first contacted Tong Guan and changed his name to Li Liangsi, and later Zhao Ji appreciated his refuge and gave him the surname of the country and changed his name to Zhao Liangsi.

He went to Jin seven times to negotiate and single-handedly facilitated the signing of the Maritime Alliance, so he was promoted to the rank of Bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and the official Doctor Guanglu. The Zhao envoy in Cai Jing's mouth is him.

When the alarm of Fang La's rebellion was raised to Jingshi, Wang Hao hid and did not report to Zhao Ji, so that the strength of the rebel army could grow day by day. Later, when Chen Hengbo, the envoy, asked the imperial court to transfer the forbidden troops, Zhao Ji was alarmed when he learned the news, and he quickly sent Tong Guan and Tan Zhi as envoys for Xuanfu and led the forbidden army to suppress it. The Tong Xuanfu envoy that Cai Jing said refers to Tong Guan.

Hearing Cai Jing's statement, Zhao Ji nodded and gave approval, and he said: "Zeng Xiaoyun, the governor of Shezhou, was transferred to the governor of Qingzhou before, and he was asked to specialize in suppressing Song Jiang's rebellion. But Fangla rebelled rapidly in Liangzhejiang Road, so he had to be reappointed as the governor of Muzhou and participate in the suppression of Fangla. Now Qingzhou Zhizhou is still vacant, I don't know who the Taishi recommends? ”

Cai Jing smiled, did not answer immediately, but reminded: "Your Majesty, do you remember an incident that you said to Lao Chen?" ”

Zhao Ji was puzzled and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Daoist Liu's divination will have evil stars and lucky stars born."

"Ahh Hearing this, Zhao Ji suddenly came to his senses, although a few years later, he did remember this matter, but because the world was peaceful for a while, he put it on hold, at this time, Cai Jing's old words were brought up again, and he naturally understood: The evil star has been born, and it is time for the lucky star to show his might.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Taishi reminded you of it." Zhao Ji was very happy in his heart, and after praising Cai Jing, he asked, "Could it be that the Taishi recommended Kochi County?" ”

In Zhao Ji's heart, he has always regarded Gao Feng as a lucky star, so when it comes to evil stars and lucky stars, the first thing he thinks of is Gao Feng.

Cai Jing naturally slipped his head, he couldn't make a qualitative characterization of this kind of nonsensical thing, and said: "Kochi County is not a lucky star for the time being, but he has been in charge of the county for four years, and in the past four years, the income of the county has increased year by year, and now it accounts for one percent of the entire Great Song Dynasty's financial resources, which shows that its previous guarantee is not a lie." ”

The annual income of the Great Song Dynasty is 50 million, and there are more than 5 million yuan in a Feng' county, accounting for one-tenth of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and its strength is close to the level of Ying Tianfu.

This is obvious to all, if it weren't for the fact that Feng' County was still at a critical moment of development, Gao Feng would have been transferred to other more important positions, where would he stay in such a small place.

It's just that it's not easy to create such a treasure land, and everyone knows that if it is not completely consolidated, it is likely to decline in a few years, and the gains outweigh the losses, so the imperial court can only promote the meritorious hero Gao Feng, but it can't transfer him from his post.

Now it is different, the overall situation of Feng' County has stabilized, and at the same time, the Great Song Dynasty is in the autumn of troubled times. Moreover, Zhao Ji has always regarded Gao Feng as a lucky star, and the responsibility of saving the Great Song Dynasty may really fall on Gao Feng's head. Cai Jing said this out of this consideration.

After listening to Cai Jing's words, Zhao Ji nodded frequently, he saw and remembered Gao Feng's achievements in the past few years, so he felt the same way as Cai Jing, but he still had concerns about enabling Gao Feng, so he asked: "Gao Aiqing has a good way to govern the county and make money, which is incomparable in the Great Song Dynasty, but can he deal with the drama thief?" ”

There are also concerns about this, some people can write, some people can do martial arts, everyone has their own merits, you can't ask the literati to know the martial arts, the martial artists can be literate, that is a kind of putting the cart before the horse. Zhao Ji was worried that Gao Feng would only govern the county and make money, but he could not punish the bandits, so he had this question.

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Kochi County is very good at dealing with bandits." ”
