Zhao Ji had a terrible headache and didn't want to think about anything. According to his meaning, this southern expedition was actually very unsuccessful, because this war did not show the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty, nor did it show the strength of him, the emperor. The fact that the government affairs hall agreed to make peace without him was in line with the legal procedures for the operation of the government affairs hall, but his original strategic intention of the emperor was shattered.

Originally, Zhao Ji was going to lead 20,000 expeditionary forces to fight this war all the time, recruiting a servant army with 50,000 sets of equipment, so as to completely conquer Jiaozhi, conquer Champong, and even conquer Chenla, and then immigrate to the garrison in important strongholds to completely control the Maritime Silk Road in Nanyang.

However, Wang Anshi handed him a private notebook, and the change encountered great resistance. Since Zhao Ji left Bianjing, Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo have rejected Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi has almost no power in his hands. The implementation of the new law has been slow, people are superfluous, and there is only one name for the new law, but by the time it is implemented, it has completely changed its quality. The implementation of the new law was full of contradictions, scholars were comfortable and corrupt, and most of them were talented poets, but they lacked administrative skills and were unwilling to take responsibility. And the forbidden armies in various places are arrogant and do not obey the reorganization of the new generals. Even the Dragon Guards in Bianjing began to disobey the dispatch and did not want to make meritorious contributions, but they wanted to be rewarded.

What's even more terrifying is that the empress dowager of the two palaces is increasingly dissatisfied with the new law, most of the officials and powerful landlords and businessmen in various places oppose the change of the law, and the conservative ministers of the political hall may be plotting to overthrow Zhao Xuan, and even instigate the Empress Dowager Cao to abolish the emperor. The court borrowed more and more money from the merchant alliance, and it was not returned except for profit. There are great internal contradictions in the cabinet of the business alliance, and the external face is facing the impact of other businessmen, and the business alliance is facing a trend of disintegration.

However, due to the resistance of the landlords to the development of the Huguang area, the powerful landlords united with the barbarians in the southwest to plot a rebellion. The military headquarters had to urgently transfer Guo Kui back to the division to deter the southwest. Kumamoto, the secretary of the military department, and Wang Shao, the secretary of the military department, nominated the Shangjing cabinet group assistant Zhang Dian as the envoy of the southwest in the political affairs hall, and wanted to transfer troops to pacify the southwest. Opposed by Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang, Kumamoto was demoted back to his original position in the Western Army by the Political Affairs Hall, and the new generals of the Long Wei Army were facing purges.

This is true of the court, and so is the expeditionary force. The civilian generals headed by Li Chang and the military generals led by Xiao Yiyuan were at odds, and the expeditionary force faced many constraints.

The sky gradually darkened, Zhao Ji fell asleep in a daze, and the palace of Zhancheng was terrifyingly quiet. The temperature difference between day and night in the city is very large, and people die of heat during the day and freeze to death at night. Li Xiangan quietly covered the futon for Zhao Ji and sighed. Empress Dowager Gao, his original master, sent him a letter, intended to envelop him. The letter revealed signs that the two palaces wanted to establish Zhao Hao as the emperor, but they were afraid that Zhao Hao would fight back. So I wanted to start with Li Xiang'an, who was next to Zhao Ji, and completely isolate Zhao Ji.

Li Xiangan didn't know what to do. Empress Dowager Gao is kind to him, and it is because of Empress Dowager Gao's favor that he climbed to today's position step by step. However, Zhao Ji also regarded him as a relative, and entrusted him with many important tasks. In terms of changing the law, Li Xiangan is towards Zhao Ji. has been by Zhao Ji's side all the year round, and he also sees Zhao Ji's efforts. Zhao's efforts were in stark contrast to the extravagant and corrupt clan bureaucrats.

However, can Zhao Ji win? At this time, you must not stand in the wrong line! From the feeling, Li Xiangan thinks that Zhao Ji can win because of Zhao Ji's efforts. However, in terms of situation, even if Zhao Ji is the emperor, his strength is too thin.

········

"The little one advises Governor Li that he should know about the changes in power and not easily disobey the Holy Lord. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the military report from the Political Affairs Hall this time, the little one would not dare to guarantee that he would be able to save Governor Li. Li Xiangan looked at Li Chang, who came to thank him, and persuaded him.

"Yes, yes. The grace of saving the lives of the nobles, Li Chang will relay the political affairs hall. "Li Chang is trying to let Li Xiangan see the situation clearly.

"Hmph. You'd better relay the political affairs hall, the Holy God has not yet returned to the court, don't act rashly. Don't die when the time comes, you don't know how to die. Li Xiangan said in disgust.

"Could it be that the Holy Lord wants to borrow the Khitan soldiers?" Li Chang said in surprise. Li Chang, and even a group of scholars and doctors in the political hall were very worried that Zhao Ji might borrow troops from the Khitan to quell the rebellion, and the Great Song Dynasty would really not be far away.

Governor Li said cautiously. Shape up or ship out. That matter of Li Changsheng, Governor Li just needs to do it well. After speaking, Li Xiangan turned around and left.

"Hmph. Zhao Ji's use of eunuchs is the way to defeat. The eunuch was too arrogant. There will be you who look good in the future. Li Chang said angrily in his heart.

"The saint is asleep?" Xiao Yiyuan hurried over.

Although there was a big contradiction with Li Chang, he didn't dare to put it on the surface. Moreover, Sima Guang sent him a letter asking him to support Li Chang. Xiao Yiyuan was also contradictory, and the situation in the court changed drastically, and he had to worry.

"Hmm. Xiao appeased the envoy, what about Li Changsheng? Let him lead the way at once, and we will take the secret warehouse. If you can get the secret warehouse, this expedition can be described as a great victory. Li Chang escaped death, and he was happy in his heart.

Although Li Chang did not support Zhao Ji's reform, he was very happy with Zhao's military reform. With this teaching system, I am not afraid that I will not be able to control those martial artists in the future.

In addition to the teaching system, there is also the government hall system, and the scholars and doctors are very happy. Now, the four universities have been established, and the government hall is held every five years, and when the time comes, the election of the four universities will be the time when Wang Anshi's group is driven out of the court. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne and does not have the support of the army soldiers, where is there still a place for him to speak in the political affairs hall?

"Yes." Xiao Yiyuan replied. In fact, Xiao Yiyuan was very dissatisfied, the governor and the pacification envoy were on the same footing, but this Li Chang always thought that the civilian position was half a level higher, and he spoke as if he was giving an order. It's just that Sima Guang is his mentor, and Sima Guang promised that if he supported Li Chang, after returning to the dynasty, he would be transferred to the political hall to serve as the secretary of the military department. As the secretary of the military department, it can be said that he has entered the phase, and this temptation is too great for him.

He didn't know whether to report the matter to Zhao Ji. In fact, Zhao Ji didn't know anything about what was happening in the court. He also believes that the new law is being implemented in an orderly manner. He also thought that the scholars had compromised.

··········

The next day, Zhao's headache seemed to be much better. Early in the morning, Zhao Ji practiced martial arts in the palace, and then took a comfortable hot bath.

"Holy Lord, Xia Yanbin asks to see you." Li Xiang'an saw Zhao Ji come out of the shower, and hurriedly said.

"Hmm. Is it about the 50,000 sets of weapons? Let's go! Zhao Ji's headache was much better, and his mood was exceptionally good, and he said with a smile.

Entering the main hall of the palace of Zhancheng, Xia Yanbin hurriedly greeted him.

"Fifty thousand sets of weapons, not a penny of money is indispensable to Xia Qing's family. The state-owned merchants who occupy the city can't do it, but they can also do it. I will order Jiaozhi to seal you as a national businessman. After Jiaozhi, the sea trade will be handed over to you. Zhao Ji went straight to the point.

"Thank you, Saint Shanglongen. This time I came to see the saint, but I came to deliver a letter for Li Guozhang. Xia Yanbin thanked him and handed over the letter.

Li Xiangan wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Xia Yanbin suddenly pulled the letter back.

Li Guozhang ordered the grass people to hand over to the saint with his own hands. The grass people still have something to say, please shield the saint left and right. Xia Yanbin kowtowed and explained. This was for fear that Zhao Ji would misunderstand the meaning of his sudden retraction of the letter.

"Li Zhanma's letter? What's the matter with him? You are too careful, what is the difference between handing it over to Li Huangmen and handing it over to me. If you don't worry about him, I'm afraid you'll see me again in the future. Li Huangmen will give you small shoes to wear. Zhao Ji said with a smile.

Although Zhao Ji deliberately downplayed Xia Yanbin's caution, Xia Yanbin only kowtowed and did not transfer the letter to Li Xiang'an. Zhao Ji was helpless, so he had to get up and take the letter. Then I quickly browsed it, and after reading it, my face was cloudy.

"Li Huangmen, you stand down for the time being. No one is allowed within 100 steps. Zhao Ji said solemnly.

··········

Zhao Ji and Xia Yanbin talked about what had happened in the imperial court in the past year, and Zhao Ji knew that it was really a mistake for him to go to Beijing to preside over the development of the stream. For a year, I have been nested in the barracks and in Shangjing, and I have not heard a sound at all about so many things.

Just as Zhao Ji was thinking about how to solve these things, Li Chang was searching for the secret warehouse that Li Changsheng said.

"Governor Li, I have found the secret warehouse, but I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble to open it." A sailor said.

"As long as you find it, are you afraid that you won't be able to open it? Walk. Li Chang was overjoyed.

So Li Chang followed the sailors out of Xinzhou City and went all the way in the direction of the north of the city. Along the way, I saw many soldiers of the expeditionary force escorting a large amount of grain and grass from outside the city to Xinzhou City. After seeing Li Chang and his entourage, all the sailors and soldiers saluted their governor. The joy is palpable. Li Chang was quite surprised.

When they arrived at the huge secret warehouse, Li Chang was stunned by the scene in front of them. What kind of secret warehouse is this! This is clearly the ancestral grave of the Cham people!

"No wonder Jiaozhi is reluctant to move this secret warehouse. If you dig the ancestral graves of the Cham people, you will not die with the Cham people. In the future, if you want to annex the city state, I don't know how much effort it will take. These Jiaozhi people are really insidious, and they can't do it themselves, so they borrow flowers to offer Buddha and let Da Song do it. Once the Great Song Dynasty did it, there was no possibility of an alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and the city of Zhancheng in the future. Li Chang analyzed in his heart.

"Governor Lee! This secret warehouse is hidden in a large mountain recess, and there is a large granary outside. but it was full of strong tombs. I used a lot of methods, but it was not easy to open. The last general estimated that the size of this tomb group was very large, and if someone was sent to dig it, he did not know how much effort it would take. We are short of manpower, and if we use the Cham people to dig their ancestral graves, we are afraid of a rebellion. A sailor general introduced.

"Seal this place off immediately, and don't let the Cham people get close." Li Chang immediately commanded.

"Yes." The sailor general replied.

"Wait. Go and appease Xiao and ask him to bring a batch of thunderbolts over. Li Chang commanded again.

"Yes." The sailor general was ordered to leave.

"The thousand-year-old tombs are still the tombs of the kings of Champa, and I don't know how many gold and gems there are. Although digging up people's ancestral graves hurts yin morality, it can't take care of so much in order to enrich the treasury. To deal with the barbarians, you don't have to be polite. Li Chang said to himself.

It is estimated that it was Li Changsheng who sent the news to the Cham people, and the Cham people soon knew that the Song people were going to dig their ancestral graves. For a while, the crowd was furious, and the city of Xinzhou was rekindled with war. All the Cham people took up what weapons they could and fought back against the expeditionary force. Xiao Yiyuan hurriedly mobilized a large army to suppress it, and almost bloodied the entire Vijaya region where Xinzhou was located, and more than 100,000 Cham people were killed.

Zhao Ji, who learned of this, didn't say a word, and now he was not thinking about the life and death of the Zhan clan, but about his own throne.

A month later. The expeditionary force loaded all the gold, precious stones and other items worth hundreds of millions of guan from the ancestral tombs of the Cham people onto ships, and the grain, grass and weapons here were sold to the Jiaozhi people. The expeditionary force thus ended an expedition in a ridiculous way.
