Song Shenzong shouted loudly, and a blazing light shot out of the tiger's eyes, which made people feel frightened. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, when the ministers heard it in their ears, they were surprised in their hearts, and secretly muttered: "What does this have to do with the ambition of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

In their minds, these are two things that are incompatible.

Of course, there are also people who understand the meaning of Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, Cai Jing, Lu Gongzhu, Su Shi, and Shen Kuo are all shining eyes, especially bright, extremely excited, and clenched their fists.

It was Han Qi himself, who was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter, his face was full of red light, looking at Song Shenzong, his eyes became more and more intense.

"You must think I'm talking nonsense, don't you?" Song Shenzong took a breath, forced himself to calm down, glanced at the ministers, and said: "Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Taizong and others, known as the Emperor immediately, what is the Emperor immediately?" The horse can determine the state, and the horse can govern the people, this is the emperor immediately. When they got on horseback, they were four-legged, they were cavalry! ”

This interpretation is a bit weird, but if you think about it, it still makes sense, and the ministers can't refute it.

"During the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, Huaxia had a large number of well-trained, well-equipped, and flexible cavalry, and it was precisely because of such a large number of cavalry that the Chinese army could be invincible, the Han Wu could defeat the Xiongnu, and Tang Taizong could destroy the Turks and capture Jieli Khan alive." Song Shenzong's voice turned high, and he said loudly: "The Great Song Dynasty inherited the disadvantages of the late Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, China was divided, different races arose, the Khitan was dominant in the north, and the Western Xia was entrenched in the land west of the river. The small Western Xia is no more than a state in the Great Song Dynasty, but it has pressed the Great Song Dynasty for decades. ”

These are all facts, the ministers have heard it countless times, and when they hear it again, they still can't help but sigh.

"Such a situation is rare in the ages, and the Great Song Dynasty should build cavalry, strengthen troops and horses, and recover these lost territories." Song Shenzong then analyzed and said: "It's a pity that the Great Song Dynasty did not do this, but adopted Han Qi's strategy and implemented the step system of riding, this is because the Great Song Dynasty lacks ambition!" Think about it, if there is no cavalry, relying only on two legs, can the army of the Great Song Dynasty appear in the land of Yanyun? Even if it can, even if the land of Yanyun is recovered, with two legs, can the army of the Great Song Dynasty appear in Liaodong? Can the emergence of the Great Song Dynasty appear in the desert? ”

Speaking of this, Song Shenzong sighed, shook his head, and said: "Even if it can, even if the army of the Great Song Dynasty appears in Liaodong and appears in the desert, can the army of the Great Song Dynasty appear in the Western Regions and in Talas?" Even if it appears in Talas, can it wash away the shame? ”

A series of questions made the ministers speechless, and their faces were gloomy.

Song Shenzong was right, if the Song Dynasty did not have a large number of cavalry, could it defeat the Liao State with only two-legged infantry? It's hard, it's hard! Even if the Liao State was defeated, it would not be able to recover Liaodong, march into the desert, recover the Western Regions, and fight to Talas like the Tang Dynasty.

"Isn't that a lack of ambition, you say?" Song Shenzong was very distressed and asked loudly.

“……”

The ministers were silent and speechless.

"To give up the cavalry and implement the cavalry system is to give up the recovery of Yanyun, that is, to give up the ambition of recovering Liaodong, marching into the desert, and recovering the Western Regions!" Song Shenzong made a loud noise.

If you want to recover the lost territory and recreate the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, you must have cavalry!

And the Song Dynasty implemented the cavalry system, either to build cavalry, or to give up ambition, or to guard the Song Dynasty's one-third of an acre!

"The crime of capital punishment! Death penalty! ”

Han Qi kowtowed again, using too much force, and blood oozed from his forehead.

"Get up!" Song Shenzong helped Han Qi up: "Han Qi, you are guilty of riding with steps." You are based on the situation in Shaanzhou, and you are pushing the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty to ride on foot, which is your sin. However, if it weren't for the lack of ambition of the Great Song Dynasty, but for his strong advocacy to regain the lost territory, he would not have adopted your proposal. ”

"Woo!" Han Qi was grateful, and the old tears were rampant. So far, Song Shenzong wants to kill him and cut him, he has no complaints, he is truly grateful.

Riding in foot, this is the result of Han Qi's push. Even Song Shenzong punished him all over the house, and he didn't dare to say a word. However, Song Shenzong actually excused him, and he couldn't be grateful.

"I didn't understand this before. Now, as the war in the north progresses, I have repeatedly recalled what Wu Ji said as relayed by Wang Shao, and I have become more and more aware that only by building a large number of cavalry is the way to make the Great Song Dynasty strong. Song Shenzong waved his hand to stop Han Qi from crying, and said, "Building cavalry is the Great Song Dynasty regaining its ambition!" You have repeatedly said that Liao Dog rides and shoots peerless, but have you ever thought about it? Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were so many cavalry in China, could it be that they were like the Xiongnu and Turks, who grew up on horseback since they were children, and could they live their lives on horseback? No! The cavalry of China are all trained! As long as the Great Song Dynasty is determined, it can create many elite cavalry like the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties! ”

This is to the point! In the past, when it came to cavalry, the ministers kept saying how the cavalry of the Liao State was good and how the cavalry of the Song Dynasty was useless, which was also an important reason for the Song Dynasty to give up the cavalry. Today, they don't dare to say that anymore.

"Han Qi, although the Great Song Dynasty lacks ambition, it is only then that you have made it a national policy to ride on foot. However, this is not the case if there is no proposal. Has the use of foot riding been implemented for decades, but has it been effective? Song Shenzong couldn't help shaking his head and said, "This sin has to be cured!" Han Qi cut his job for the people, and he will never be used! For the sake of your contribution to the country, give a thousand taels of gold, and you will be a field in Xiangzhou! ”

The impact of riding with foot is too great, and if you really want to investigate it, it is not too much to kill Han Qi's head. Song Shenzong just cut him to the people, and he was already merciful.

"Thank you! Thank you! Han Qi was very satisfied with this disposition.

Thanks for the grace, Han Qi staggered out, came to the door of the hall, suddenly turned around, knelt down at Song Shenzong, burst into tears, and said: "On the occasion of Han Qi's farewell to the king, I ask the officials to be virtuous and capable, vigorously promote the new law, rectify the dynasty, make great efforts, and reorganize the army!" ”

"Knock knock!" He kowtowed very hard, his voice was very loud, blood oozed from his forehead, and he didn't realize it, and then said: "The minister has misled the country and the king for decades, and it is really a blessing for the minister to know his mistakes when he is about to die!" The minister asked the official family to send troops to Liaodong, march into the desert, recover the Western Regions, and wash away the shame of the Tang Dynasty! Also, the official family should send envoys to Vietnam and Nanzhao, and the two countries should surrender! If you don't surrender, send a large army to ask for it! ”

After the Song Dynasty settled the north, it would definitely recover Vietnam and Nanzhao, but it would take some time. Han Qi proposed, and the ministers felt justified and couldn't help nodding.

"Don't go to the minister, there are no regrets in this life! No regrets in this life! Han Qi stood up and walked away quickly, unusually relaxed. An elder of the Three Dynasties like him can hear the grand arguments of Song Shenzong in the year of his death, and see that the Song Dynasty is about to return to the peak of the Han and Tang Dynasties, what is there to regret?

"Han Qi is reasonable!" Song Shenzong looked at Chaoqi's back and was extremely pleased.

Han Qi is different from Sima Guang, Sima Guang was blasted out of the court, and he didn't understand. But Han Qi knew very well that he was really wrong.

"An era has come to an end! A new era has begun! The ministers all knew in their hearts that Han Qi was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and looked forward to the world, and his departure meant that an era was over.

This era that is about to end is the era when the Song Dynasty was weak and oppressed by foreign races!

The coming era will be the era of the Song Dynasty!

Song Shenzong took out Sima Guang and Han Qi's generation, just to throw off his arms and work hard, or to make the Song Dynasty strong. There is Wang Anshi in the court, Wu Ji and Wang Shao in the military, and then there is such a good situation, the rise of the Song Dynasty is already unstoppable!

"The next one will be Lu Gong's book!" The ministers looked at Lu Gongshu and knew that his position was no longer secure.

Lu Gongzhu is a person who understands, and without waiting for Song Shenzong to speak, he immediately asked for sin: "Official, the minister is old, please ask the official family to give the minister a good deal!" ”

Sima Guang and Han Qi, the two most important figures in the opposition, were taken away by Song Shenzong, can Lu Gongzhu run away? Instead of blowing it away, it is better to take the initiative to resign.

"Accurate!" Song Shenzong's eyes showed appreciation, and Lu Gongshu still knew each other.

After Gong Lu kowtowed and thanked him, he withdrew gloomily.

Song Shenzong waved his hand, and Shao Jiu took the eunuch and put the music in front of the ministers who were playing.

"Let's all take a look! These are the pieces you have written over the years, and if you don't look at them, you won't know them, and you'll be shocked when you see them, and you'll do everything you can to oppose the new law! Song Shenzong's face was solemn, his eyes were like swords, and he swept over the faces of the ministers, and said coldly.

Whoever his eyes were fixed on, he was frightened and hurriedly knelt down to ask for his resignation.

"The minister is old, please ask the official family to give the minister a farewell!"

"The courtier's family has an old mother......"

"The minister's father is weak and sickly, and the minister is a son of man, so he has to serve a decoction ......"

A group of ministers resigned, saying all sorts of excuses. The old man is only forty years old, white and pure, not old at all. If you want to be a filial son, your parents will have died a long time ago.

No matter what kind of excuse they were looking for, Song Shenzong didn't ask anything, and he was all right.

The ministers left one after another, and in a short time half of them left.

In the entire court, half of the ministers opposed the change. In this case, if Wang Anshi wants to succeed in changing the law, it is a fool's dream!

After the rectification of Song Shenzong, the court was cleared, the opposition ceased to exist, and the new law was fully lost, and a good time to implement the new law appeared, and Wang Anshi was very excited.

Over the years, Wang Anshi also wanted to rectify the court and eliminate the influence of Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gong. However, the situation forced Wang Anshi to do it.

It's not that Song Shenzong doesn't want to do it, but he doesn't dare to do it, because of the existence of Empress Dowager Cao, his throne is unstable, his ass is unstable, how dare he move.

Now, because Wu Ji won a big victory at the border pass, Emperor Song Shenzong's throne is stable, and he finally lets go of his hands and feet.

"The ministers asked the officials to be virtuous and capable, and to supplement the officials of the DPRK and China." Wang Anshi played.

Half of the court went at once, and if the officials were not made up, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"No!" Song Shenzong flatly refused, and said, "I hate Yelu Hongji, but I have to admit that what he once ridiculed me has a point. He said in the past that the Great Song Dynasty had too many redundant officials, redundant personnel, and redundant expenses, and if I could solve this matter, the Great Song Dynasty would inevitably become stronger. Now, the DPRK and China are empty, and it is just the right opportunity to carry out a reform and eliminate all the officials who eat and do nothing! ”

The Song Dynasty's redundant officials, redundant personnel, and redundant expenses were well-known in Chinese history for their harsh administration, and they have been famous for thousands of years. In this way, it was solved for Song Shenzong.

A top-down revolution kicked off, and after the reform, the Song Dynasty took on a new look, and the sleeping dragon of the Song Dynasty finally woke up.

"I was able to make such a big move today because of Wu Ji! You say, when will the good news of Wu Ji's attack on Western Xia arrive? "Song Shenzong is in a very comfortable mood, he has been an emperor for so many years, but now he is the most like the emperor, and he makes the decision to kill and let himself go, and he doesn't have to worry about the east and the west anymore!
