Father Shi Shi's earth-shattering words shocked Zhao Gou dumbfounded, and Li Yanqing supported the army and stood on his own!

As the Son of Heaven, how could Zhao Gou not consider this kind of thing, when Li Yanqing was allowed to sit in the northwest, Zhao Gou repeatedly considered this possibility, in fact, whoever goes will have the risk of supporting the army and standing on his own, but only Li Yanqing can save the situation in the northwest.

Later, Li Yanqing's wife and children were sent to Jingzhao, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan both persuaded themselves that it was best to detain Li Yanqing's wife and children in Lin'an as hostages, but Li Yanqing really had the ambition to support the army and stand on his own, would he care about his wife and children?

Zhao Gou simply and generously sent Li Yanqing's wife and children to Jingzhao, since he has already shown his trust in him, he will simply do it to the end, he Li Yanqing really supports the army and stands on his own in the face of the world's disapproval, and he will also be scolded by the world.

This matter is too sensitive, Zhao Gou has not allowed hundreds of officials to mention it, but he didn't expect that his father's first sword was aimed at Li Yanqing's support for self-reliance.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Gou said slowly: "Xixia captured Xihe Road, Qinfeng Road has been lost nearly half, the Jin soldiers are eyeing the Shaanxi Road, and the entire Northwest Third Road is in danger, Li Yanqing turned the tide, defeated the Western Xia, and forced the Western Xia to withdraw from the Xihe Road, in the face of the Jin soldiers' westward attack, he used the weather and terrain to trap the 50,000 Jin soldiers who invaded the Shaanxi Road, and broke the Jin soldiers under the Taiyuan City, and successively annihilated 80,000 Jin soldiers, not only saved the northwest, but also saved the Great Song Dynasty, if he had the heart to stand on his own, the court could not control him at all, However, he handed over the military power of Hedong Road, and the imperial court appointed Zhang Shuye and Zhang Jun to sit in Taiyuan Mansion and Hedong Road. ”

Zhao Ji sneered, "You actually pinned your hopes on him, you have forgotten the ancestral teachings, and you have forgotten the lessons of the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty and the division of feudal towns......"

"Erchen has not forgotten!"

Zhao Gou couldn't help but interrupt his father's lesson, "Erchen has never forgotten the system set by his ancestors, but he was forced by the situation and had to do it. ”

Zhao Ji was silent, and after a long time, he asked coldly, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"When the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty are recovered, the sons will transfer Li Yanqing back, confer on him the title of Gaojue, and let his children and grandchildren enjoy the glory and wealth, which can be regarded as a reward for his contribution to the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ji snorted and said disapprerovingly: "How can you enjoy the glory and wealth of the south, and call it lonely and happy!" ”

Zhao Gou's heart suddenly became vigilant, was his father talking about himself?

Zhao Ji didn't realize that he had inadvertently leaked the secret in his heart, he continued: "You can't wait to do it after recovering the mountains and rivers, you must change people in time, take advantage of the current Song Jin peace talks, simply transfer Li Yanqing to the Central Plains, and let the civil officials go to Shaanxi Road." ”

"Thank you for your father's suggestion, the son will definitely consider this matter carefully and solve it safely!"

Zhao Gou perfunctorily promised his father, his heart was like a mirror, the basis for the Song and Jin armistice agreement was that Li Yanqing was in the northwest, if Li Yanqing was transferred out of the northwest, the Jin soldiers would not hesitate to tear up the agreement and enter the Shaanxi Road, only Li Yanqing sat on the Shaanxi Road, in order to keep the northwest unharmed, and the east road of Baohe was unharmed.

In fact, for Zhao Gou, it is really not a question of whether Li Yanqing supports the army and is self-reliant, as long as he controls his financial resources, he does not dare to go too far, but the father and emperor in front of him have only been back for three days and began to meddle in state affairs, which is really worthy of his vigilance.

Zhao Gou left, but Zhao Ji's eyes were gloomy, Li Yanqing's matter was just a point of his strength, and his real purpose was to re-ascend the throne and restore the throne.

If you want to abolish your son, you first need to eradicate your son's henchmen and supporters, and Li Yanqing is the first target, and he is also his son's biggest supporter.

But the son seems to know this, so he talks to himself and refuses to listen to his own opinion.

Zhao Ji is so old and spicy, even if his son perfunctory him, he knows where to start.

Zhao Ji immediately wrote a handwritten message, summoned a confidant guard, and whispered to him: "It's hard for you to go to Chengdu and hand over this handwriting to the prefect Zeng!" ”

..........

Zhao Gou returned to the imperial study, and then asked people to find Yin Cao Yan of Lin'an Mansion, and after a while, Cao Yan hurried to the imperial study and bowed, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

"Cao Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gou smiled and asked, "How is the old man's health?" ”

"He is in good health, and we didn't expect him to adapt to the climate here in Lin'an Mansion, and some old illnesses are showing signs of alleviation."

"That's a good thing! Good for him, good for your Cao family. ”

The official family's words are of profound significance, Cao Yan knows that the Cao family is actually not a heart anymore, the old man is here, and the Cao family can still maintain unity on the surface, if the old man goes, the Cao family's rooms may be their own way and burn their own incense.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, and we also hope that he can live a long life!"

Zhao Gou nodded and said: "I came to Cao Aiqing today because I want to discuss something, the Emperor Taishang doesn't want to live on the mountain, he wants to live by the West Lake, see if there is a ready-made mansion on the edge of the West Lake, the scenery is good, and the official residence is very quiet." ”

Cao Yan thought for a while and said: "The largest official mansion is only five acres of houses, and there are less than ten private houses of more than twenty acres, and they are all occupied, no matter how many pieces of land the government has by the West Lake, if it is built quickly, a mansion can be built in two months." ”

Zhao Gou looked at the hour, it was not yet noon, so he smiled and said, "I just have time today, I will go to the field with you to have a look, and choose a good piece of land to build a house." ”

Cao Yan was taken aback, "Your Majesty.... Is Your Majesty going on a micro-service trip?"

Zhao Gou smiled, "It's not the first time I've gone out, and besides, traveling by boat is not a big problem." ”

Cao Yan was relieved when he heard that he was traveling by boat, and he hurriedly said: "Go and arrange it, let the civilian boat leave the West Lake first." ”

"That's not necessary, I don't want to disturb the people, just have a guard ship to follow."

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty did a very good job in being close to the people, and traveling to the West Lake with the Son of Heaven was unimaginable in other dynasties, but it was a very normal thing in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou's dragon boat left the royal dock, under the guidance of Cao Yan to the northeast, there are a lot of civilian boats playing in the lake, seeing the heavily guarded dragon head boat appeared, the civilian boats have avoided, although the guard boat does not drive away the civilian boats, but it is also very inappropriate to compete with the dragon head boat of the Son of Heaven, everyone consciously let go of the water.

After a short time, the dragon head ship gradually approached the northwest direction, and Lin'an Mansion had a large area of land in the northeast corner of the West Lake, which was ready to be used to build official residences and official residences.

"Your Majesty, there it is!" Cao Yan pointed to the large open tunnel on the shore in the distance.

Zhao Gou first looked at the lake, and frowned slightly, the lake in this area was relatively dark, and it seemed that the silt at the bottom of the water had been brought up and stained the lake black.

Cao Yan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "This is the channel of the Cao River, and a large number of ships pass by at night, which affects the silt at the bottom of the lake, but the lowly position is already considering prohibiting cargo ships from entering the West Lake, diverting the route to the Xijing River, and dredging the river over there is feasible, and it will be completed by the end of the year at the latest." ”

Zhao Gou nodded, didn't say anything, the capital generally needs a lot of materials, Cao Yun is inevitable, he looked at the shore again, only to see that the land on the shore is very flat, and a large number of houses are being built in the distance, which should be the official residences and official houses of middle and low-level officials, not to mention that there is no scenery at all in this area, not even a bustling commercial center, and the grade is obviously low when building a house here.

What's more important is that it is really inappropriate to let the Emperor Taishang and middle and low-level officials be neighbors, Zhao Gou shook his head and said: "The scenery here is too bad, don't consider it." ”

"Your Majesty, there are two places with good scenery in West Lake, one is Xiaotangwan between Phoenix Mountain and Luoji Mountain, and the other is at the foot of Xizhao Mountain, and the Xiaotangwan is also owned by the government, so you can consider building a palace there."

Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council are both in Xiaotangwan, and if the emperor's palace is repaired there, isn't that just to let the emperor directly control the Zhizheng Hall? How could Zhao Gou do such a stupid thing, he muttered and said, "Go to Xizhao Mountain and have a look!" ”

Xizhao Mountain is in the west of the West Lake, is facing the Yongjin Gate, the forest at the foot of the Xizhao Mountain is towering to the sky, the spring water is murmuring, the Bujin Temple is built on the halfway of the Xizhao Mountain, the boat is close to the Xizhao Temple, looking at the rich large woods, a quiet breath will come to the face.

Zhao Gou couldn't help but praise: "This is simply a place where immortals live." ”

"Your Majesty, this place is indeed very good, and the price of land is very expensive, more expensive than the price of land on both sides of Nanyu Street, and it is impossible to buy it at all now."

"Let's talk! Whose land is this? ”

Cao Yan hesitated and said, "The land near the West Lake in this area is owned by Li Yanqing's father. ”

Zhao Gou laughed, "Is it your in-laws, the big proprietor of Baoyan Zhai?" ”

Cao Yan nodded, "It's him, he bought the land here three years ago, and he was very discerning, at that time the land here was only ten yuan per mu, and now one mu is at least ten thousand yuan, which has increased a thousand times." ”

"Then let's go and talk to him, he is your brother's in-laws, and his son is my brother-in-law, both of whom are related, he should give this face!"

"Weichen also thinks it's okay to talk!"

At this time, Zhao Gou suddenly found that there were large mansions in the woods, and he immediately became interested, so he smiled and said, "There is a mansion over there, let's go and have a look." ”

After speaking, Zhao Gou ordered the ship to dock, and the ship slowly docked on a newly built wharf, Zhao Gou and Cao Yan got off the boat and walked towards the mansion a hundred steps away under the strict protection of dozens of guards.

This house covers an area of about 50 acres, built at the foot of the mountain, but the terrain is higher, standing in front of the window can cross the big tree to see the sparkling West Lake, only about 100 steps away from the lake, the house is obviously newly built, the white wall and black tile, extremely beautiful and refined, the birds chirp tactfully all around, pass through the forest from a piece of green bamboo, and the steps are facing the gate.

"If I can live here, I don't even want to go back to the palace!"

Zhao Gou praised repeatedly, and asked the guards to call the door, he wanted to go in and have a look.

After a while, the small door opened, and inside was an old man with half-white hair, and the guard pointed to this side, and said a few words to the old man, and the old man was startled, and ran back without even closing the door.

Before the guards came back to report, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a blue shirt and a hat walked out quickly, and Cao Yan recognized him at once, it was actually Li Yanqing's father, Li Daqi.

"Your Majesty, he is Li Yanqing's father."

Zhao Gou nodded, slowly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Li Yuanwai lives so leisurely!" ”

Li Daqi was also startled, it was actually Cao Yan who accompanied the Son of Heaven to come, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to give a big salute, "Xiaomin Li Daqi greets His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Zhao Gouxuan helped him up and said with a smile: "Hurry up, please get up, Yanqing is my brother-in-law, and I am also my relatives and elders, so I don't have to make this big gift!" ”
