Regarding Ouyang Shuliang's early retirement, in fact, many people in the court are still mentally prepared, after all, the old man Ouyang is over eighty years old, almost ninety years old, but what they didn't expect was that this old man Ouyang would retire in his old age, because of such a disgusting incident and hate to withdraw from the stage of his career, but Zhao Xu was in this matter, and he also gave Ouyang Shuliang the title of a prince, which can be regarded as a little bit of saving the old man's face. At this time, Ouyang Shuliang probably already hated Qin Shuping to death in his heart, and even wished that he would not be able to die well for the eight generations

Looking at Ouyang Shuliang, he slowly retreated to the class in frustration, Zhao Xu said to all the ministers above the Golden Palace: "As for the most critical position in the court, the secretary of the ministry, it really can't be vacant for a day, from now on, Huang Xingmao, the left attendant of the ministry, will be promoted to the secretary of the ministry, He Mingli, the right attendant of the ministry, will be reappointed as the left servant, and Chu Luli will be transferred to the right servant of the ministry, the three of you will seize the time to run in with each other, and start to rectify the governance of the officials in the shortest possible timeIf there is a next time, I will remove all the officials above the middle level of your officials. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Your Majesty should remember your majesty's teachings."

"Huang Xingmao, don't be in a hurry to be happy after taking over as the secretary of the ministry, immediately start to rectify these things left over from your ministry before, if you haven't done a good job of this matter before I go to Goryeo, I will sacrifice your head to the imperial army flag of my Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Xu's words frightened the old man Huang Zaixing, and the joy of just being promoted to the secretary of the ministry was instantly overwhelmed by this huge pressure, but Zhao Xu's order had already been given, and he could no longer push this matter back to Zhao Xu. In fact, the eyes of everyone in the court are like that mirror, the newly appointed Huang Zaixing Shangshu and the current left attendant He Mingli, who has been promoted by half a level, are already seventy or eighty old guys, and the new right attendant Chu Luli is not only Zhao Xu, the emperor's brother-in-law, but also the talent and loyalty to Zhao Xu that he has shown over the years, all of them are in their eyes, plus the emperor who sits on the dragon throne is decisive, ruthless, never looks forward to doing things, and entangles the character of ink, so those young people under the age of forty in the court are more popular than the old ministers who have passed the sixtieth year and are seventy or eighty years old, just look at the generals who are on the border, a few are more than forty-five years old, and in the court, after the replacement of the old and the new in the past few years, the old ministers left by the original emperor Shenzong and the empress dowager in the court are all gone. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the cycle of dynasties has remained unchanged for eternity

Among all the ministers, the only one who can feel the threat of age is only Zhou Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is seventy-seven years old this year, Zhao Xu had asked him about his age as early as a year ago, it can be seen that in Zhao Xu's heart, I am afraid that he already had the idea of retiring, and today Comrade Zhou saw Ouyang Shuliang's embarrassing retirement method, which also made him suddenly have the idea of abdicating and making way for Xian, at least he retired decently, and could not be His Majesty the Emperor, also picked himself up like Ouyang Shuliang.

Zhou Tong, who was pondering, suddenly felt that the sleeves of his robe were suddenly ripped by others, and heard the colleague next to him whisper to himself: "Master Zhou, Your Majesty has called you." ”

Then, Zhou Tong heard Zhao Xu call him again: "Zhou Laoqing's family in the Ministry of War, I called you." ”

"The old minister is here, Your Majesty, the old minister suddenly felt a little unwell, so I didn't hear Your Majesty's summons just now, and I asked Your Majesty to give the old minister the guilt of not being a king." Zhou Tong heard Zhao Xu call him, hurriedly walked out of the class, and said to Zhao Xu

"Forget it, don't mention this matter, Zhou Laoqing's family, I ask you, how is the deployment of the troops transferred to Liaozhou South Road and Guangnan West Road?" Zhao Xu asked

Zhou Tong smoothed out his train of thought a little, then held the jade wat board in his hand, bowed down and said to Zhao Xu: "Long live Hui, because there are many wetlands on the land of Jiaozhi, Bagan, and the Angkor Dynasty, and the rivers are vertical and horizontal, like our country's heavy infantry, as well as cavalry of various branches of the military, as well as medium and heavy artillery, it is really difficult to fight in the three countries of the Southeast Peninsula, so the old minister has no choice but to requisition light infantry from all over the country, as well as all kinds of light artillery to assemble on the Guangnan West Road, so far, A total of 130,000 troops have been assembled on the Quang Nam West Road, and the remaining troops are gradually moving to the south, but because most of the places in the south are now in the rainy season, military rations do not dare to be hoarded in large quantities, so our military department is currently trying to find ways to solve the problem of difficult storage of military rations, and weapons, armor, and all kinds of artillery and ammunition are also being transported to the south. Liaozhou South Road is located in the northern plain and mountainous area, for our Great Song Dynasty Empire iron cavalry gallop, so the assembly of the army is still smooth, so far, Liaozhou South Road has gathered a total of 170,000 troops of various arms, all kinds of artillery, ammunition, ordnance, armor, grain and grass, has also been basically prepared, just wait for His Majesty's order, my Great Song Dynasty iron cavalry can sweep the entire territory of Goryeo. ”

"Order Hu Songlin of Guangnan West Road and Shi Wengong of Liaozhou South Road to order the two of them to reorganize their arms for war, and we must not start a war against the enemy in vain, if we do not move, we must strike a blow and kill the two places in the north and south, and we must not let our country fall into the quagmire of a protracted war, otherwise, our soldiers will suffer losses that are difficult for us to bear."

"The old minister obeys."

"As for keeping the gunpowder dry, so far, the Ordnance Department has done a very effective job, but we can't always use the oilcloth paper wrap to keep the gunpowder dry, about this, your Ordnance Department must still make innovations, the public loses nature, where is Ling Zhen."

"Wechen is here."

"You remember, your Ordnance Department is in charge of the forging and updating of my Great Song Dynasty weapons and equipment, which is directly related to the superiority of our Great Song Dynasty in foreign wars and a basic guarantee for the lives of soldiers, we are now using 100 steel-forged weapons and equipment, why can't we use thousands of steel-making in the future, or even smelt alloy steel by combining the advantages of many metals, and besides, the effective range of our current cavalry guns and small and medium-sized artillery is about 5,000 meters on average, Why can't we study how to make their effective range reach 6,000 meters, 7,000 meters, or even 8,000 meters away, why do our steel crossbows, our sniper crossbows, our hand crossbows, grenades, and even our folding bows and arrows stop innovating and changing, your Ordnance Division must put more thought into this regard, don't let the old rules and regulations of the past solidify your thinking, take a long-term view, let your brains turn, you two are the heads of the Ordnance Division, not me, Don't always let me come and give you an idea for the Ordnance Division.
