Chapter 298: Court Meeting

Time passed slowly, and Zheng Zhi was also very busy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now that recruiting soldiers in Cangzhou is slowly becoming easier, as long as the Jingluo Mansion fulfills the promise of recruiting soldiers, there are naturally many people who are willing to come to serve as soldiers.

If being a soldier can feed a family, it is already a good place for the people at the bottom. There is also a very attractive condition, that is, the Cangzhou soldiers are no longer black.

It seems that this change of events has the same attraction as the lucrative salary, and those who are soldiers no longer have to tattoo big characters on their faces.

This change is naturally extremely contrary to the policy of the imperial court, and Zheng Zhi also thought about it for a long time before making this decision. It was a great insult for the soldier to tattoo words on his face, and Zheng Zhi didn't know how the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty decided such a thing with a pat on their buttocks.

The first one to jump out against it was Pei Xuan, and as for the other opponents, there were countless others. Although everyone objected, it was also for Zheng Zhi's good, and they didn't want Zheng Zhi to be punished by the court for such a thing.

Zheng Zhi can't control so many things anymore, the big war is coming, if he wants people to use their lives, he naturally has to ensure the basic dignity of these people. By this time, Zheng Zhi had already spread his hands and feet.

Weapons and the like were naturally in full swing outside Qingchi City. Tong Guan also gave some support in Tokyo, although the money and food were not much, but the craftsmen from Tokyo were already on the way.

Tong Guan has already made up his mind about attacking Liao, and he has contacted all the people inside and outside the court who can be contacted. After the seed master returned to Beijing to report to Heshuo, Tong Guan was also unwavering.

Tong Guan also thinks a lot in his heart, and he also sees this Great Song Dynasty a little thoroughly, and now this country is quite rich. Tong Guan also has his own views on the generals, which mainly come from his impression of the Western Army. Heshuo's troops are not available, and Tong Guan also has to attack Liao, not to mention that Heshuo still has Zheng Zhi, as well as the seed master Dao who is about to be transferred.

The layout of Tokyo, Tong Guan also slowly completed it with the help of the power of the imperial court, and also promoted generals like Yang Keshi.

Tong Guan is in charge of all this, and there may be an important reason!

Song Shenzong's edict: Those who receive the sixteen states of Yanyun can be crowned king!

The matter of sealing the king seems to be particularly attractive to a eunuch who is already powerful.

――

Today, Tong Guantian got up before dawn, his face was full of exhaustion, he had a private meeting with Cai Jing until midnight last night, and he went out before dawn today.

Tong Guan, who is physically exhausted, is more energetic than ever, just because he has to discuss it today, and what he is discussing is the matter of Lianjin's attack on Liao.

Tong Guan came to the palace gate early, his eyes kept staring at the wat board in his hand, and the jade wat board was full of dense small characters, which were written all the things that needed to be said in today's court meeting, which showed how meticulously Tong Guan was prepared.

The minister's wat board itself has such a function, which is to facilitate the ministers to record the content to be played. Tong Guan slowly reviewed the content on the wat board over and over again, reciting silently in his mouth, and writing in his heart. Just to be able to speak clearly when speaking above the court.

Cai Jing then also went outside the gate of the palace, glanced at Tong Guan, and closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The sun slowly rose, and dozens of people slowly gathered outside the palace gate, and it was these dozens of people who decided everything in the country.

Zhang Shuye, Zhang Kegong, Zheng Juzhong, Wang Hao, Deng Xunwu, Yang Keshi, An Yaochen, Seed Master Dao...

There is another person who has to say that it is Zhao Liangsi, who is standing next to Tong Guan at this time, this person is Ma Zhi, the Han man of the Liao State, who came to Bianliang with Tong Guan, and was already named the secretary by Zhao Ji at this time, although he is not a big official, he can also participate in the discussion.

Huizong Zhao Ji has already moved his heart to this attack on Liao, although many things have not yet reached the table, but the work in the secret has already begun.

The palace door is slightly open, the civil and military enter left and right, Zhao Ji sits on the dragon chair, still wearing a light blue robe, with an extraordinary temperament, not showing much imperial majesty, but he is extremely personable and kind.

Long live the left and right.

The old eunuch beside Zhao Ji spoke in a sharp voice: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”

This old eunuch who opened his mouth should not be underestimated, it is Yang Jian, the chief administrator of the inner house, the official worships the school master, and in the inner court, he is already the first person in power, and everyone has become the Yang master. is the object that Cai Jing also wants to woo more.

Tong Guan looked up slightly at Zhao Ji above, then looked at Cai Jing to the left, inspected the front and back, stepped out of the crowd, picked up the wat board and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance!" ”

Zhao Ji looked at Tong Guan below, raised his hand and motioned for Tong Guan to speak. I think I roughly know what Tong Guan is going to say.

"Your Majesty, in the far north of Liao, in the east of Liao, there are female barbarians living together, one of the female straight has called Yan Agu to fight, unified the female tribe and Liao, several wars, the Liao people have been defeated, and now the female straight has gained power. The Liao people could not be destroyed, and it was at the time of the siege of the Liao people. In the Liao Dynasty, bureaucratic corruption is rampant, and the people are dissatisfied, and Liao has occupied Yanyun for more than 100 years. Please Your Majesty, remember the suffering of the subjects of the old country, come out of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and save the people from fire and water. Tong Guan's words, after preparing for a long time, said in a low tone, that is, for the country and the people.

Zhao Ji was not surprised when he heard this, and only said: "When the first emperor was alive, every time he thought of Youyun, he was heartbroken, and there was even an edict that said: Those who collect Youyun can be crowned king." Youyun is also my long-cherished wish for a hundred years in the Great Song Dynasty. Now that the old people are in dire straits, Tong Qing asked for troops, can the secretaries have a countermeasure? ”

Half of the people in the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded, and they didn't understand what was going on, why they suddenly wanted to use troops against the Liao State.

Over the past hundred years, the Great Song Dynasty has become more and more prosperous, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. Why the Great Song Dynasty can be so rich, peace and war obviously played the biggest role.

Dazai Zheng Juzhong came back to his senses, looked left and right, and then looked at Tong Guan Cai Jing, where he didn't know what was greasy here, and said after a few steps: "Your Majesty!" The alliance of the Yuanyuan has been more than 100 years old, the soldiers do not know the blade, the farmers do not increase the service, although the Han and Tang Dynasties' policy of harmony is not as good as the policy of our dynasty's Anbian. Now that the Quartet is safe, they want to break the contract rashly, for fear of incurring the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people. And the way of using soldiers, the outcome is unpredictable. If they win, the treasury will be in vain, and the people will be poor; If you lose, you don't know how many people will be killed. With the courage of Taizong, he recovered Yanyun and lost both battles, so how can he start the war lightly today! ”

Zhao Ji heard Zheng Juzhong's words, frowned, and did not answer, only went to see Tong Guan.

Tong Guan had already dealt with it, looked at the wat board in his hand, and said: "Zheng Dazai's words are wrong, the Liao of Tanyuan, and today's Liao, how can it be the same day, today's Liao, internal affairs are corrupt, and foreign enemies are strong, it is the time of internal and external troubles, the first emperor's long-cherished wish is to recover Yanyun, how can my generation not comply, now is the opportunity, to collect Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and return to the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Your Majesty is a wise man, a great talent, and it is the time to make contributions. From ancient times to the present, those who live in peace and do not think of danger, which dynasty and which generation are not a miserable end, and now my Great Song Dynasty can have a Ming monarch in power, how can I not open up the territory and lay the foundation for all generations.

What's more, Yanyun is the homeland of the Han people, and has been trapped in barbarians for many years, if my generation does not want to forge ahead and let the people of China go to fire and water, how can we face the ancestors and ancestors. ”

"Tong Taiwei, Tong Shumi, you are as clever as a tongue, but you don't know that the sages since ancient times, all of them are based on faith and righteousness, and the Tanyuan covenant is in front, if you are treacherous today, how can you face the morality of the world. If there is another war, how will I face the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty emperors and the flames of war. Zheng Juzhong was already a little excited, that is, in his heart, starting a war like this is really against morality, and it is dragging the country into fire and water.

Tong Guan listened to this, smiled lightly, looked at the wat board, raised his head and looked left and right, and said: "The treacherous one, not my Great Song Dynasty, is actually Northern Liao, my Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia war, in the past hundred years, the Liao people have secretly assisted Western Xia with soldiers, horses, money and food, how can you remember the matter of Tanyuan?" This time, my Great Song Dynasty has just defeated the Western Xia, the soldiers are in full bloom, and the soldiers of Yanyun, the old people of Yanyun will inevitably eat pot pulp to welcome the king's division, and they will definitely succeed immediately, how can Zheng Dazai say that the people are in the flames of war. ”

Zheng Juzhong faced it temporarily, where could he say that Tong Guan had been preparing for a long time, so he had to quickly look left and right, and motioned to others to speak with his eyes.

Seeing this, Cai Jing stepped forward and said: "Zheng Dazai's words also have some truth, for the country and the people, every sentence is sincere. Tong Taiwei's words are even more insightful, for the society for a thousand years, for the unification of China, and for future generations. According to the old man's opinion, even if there is a war, it is necessary to ally with the female straight and attack the Liao people together, which is the best policy. It is this matter of female integrity, you can send envoys to negotiate first, and then you can decide the battle with Liao. What do you think? ”

There were many people who opposed the war in the house, and even more who wavered. But it was Cai Jing's words, so he seemed to drag this matter down, and we will discuss it later. Everyone thought about Tong Guan's words today, they must have been preparing for a long time, and they came to talk in a hurry, and there was no word to fight back, Cai Jing spoke to mediate, and it was the right time, and they all nodded yes.

Cai Jing's words seem to be extremely reasonable, but they have already taken this attack on Liao a step forward. Obviously, Cai Jing Tongguan had already discussed it very thoroughly. It starts with a war and ends with an alliance with the Jinren.

It seems that there has not yet been a war, but whether it will be a war or not is determined by whether or not this alliance can be achieved, and a strategic victory has been achieved.

Zhao Ji nodded even more and said: "Cai Qing is reasonable, the military is dangerous, and it can't be easily started, and it depends on how the woman is, and we will discuss it in the future." ”

On this day, the court discussion continued, but the matter of the Great Song Dynasty Lianjin had been decided, and the envoy to Liaodong Lianjin was the original Liao Guangluqing Ma Zhi, that is, Zhao Liangsi.
