Chapter 135: Re-entering the River
In April of the third year of Shaoding, Gao Huaiyuan launched a mutiny to force the palace for more than a year and a month, and Gao Huaiyuan, who had returned to Beijing for a year and a half, finally left Lin'an City again!
Before leaving Lin'an, Gao Huaiyuan and Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, Ji Xiancheng and others chatted in detail, after more than a year of cooperation with Gao Huaiyuan, Zhen Dexiu and other civil officials have reduced their resistance to Gao Huaiyuan a lot, although Gao Huaiyuan is now a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but he is much stronger than the previous Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info At least Gao Huaiyuan knows how to do things very well, except for occasionally putting forward some of his opinions on government affairs or handing over some illegal and unethical things of some local officials found out by the General Unification Department to be dealt with by the Criminal Department, under normal circumstances, he rarely interferes with Zhen Dexiu's handling of government affairs, and lets them do political affairs like civil servants, and never takes the initiative to set up any obstacles for them to do things. . .
And another thing that makes Zhen Dexiu more satisfied is that although Gao Huaiyuan represents the interests of the military, Gao Huaiyuan strictly controls the interference of military generals in government affairs, and local government affairs are still in charge of civilian officials, and the two parties have formed a relatively smooth cooperative relationship, for the generals are only responsible for military affairs, do not interfere in government affairs, and those who are officials only care about their government affairs, and are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, so that there are not too many contradictions in each way, even if the civilian officials are not used to seeing the status of these generals to rise, At least the generals didn't and pee on the heads of their civil officials because of Gao Huaiyuan, so that the place was relatively stable.
Under their joint efforts and rectification, this year, the rule of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty has taken on a new look, and the original things in some places because of the official coercion and rebellion of the people have gradually died down under the hand of the civil and military generals, and the quality of life of the people has also been improved. Therefore, when the quality of life of the common people is better, naturally not many people are looking for trouble, so the Southern Song Dynasty began to enter a rare period of stability. Under their full cooperation, the treasury has become more and more abundant, the industrial and mining output in various places has gradually increased, and the tax revenue has not only not been reduced because of the exemption of miscellaneous taxes, but the tax has steadily begun to increase, and since Gao Huaiyuan took power, both the military and the local government have vigorously promoted the abolition of redundant personnel, reduced the number of admission places for the imperial examination, controlled the growth of redundant personnel, and reduced state expenditures, so that the imperial court has saved a lot of money in supporting redundant personnel, and there is more money in the treasury, so it is much more convenient to spend money, so that The military's weapons production has also gone more smoothly...
Under the work of Liu Dayong's ordnance superintendent, the quality of the armor produced in the capital and even in the ordnance workshops has soared significantly, the original institutes are temporary workers, and now all of them have become fixed skilled workers, and all kinds of effective processes to improve the quality of the armor are also open among the ordnance workshops, so that the production efficiency has been greatly improved, but the production cost has begun to drop sharply, after the middle of the ink-greedy link, the production of a pair of iron armor used to cost two or three hundred yuan, now it only takes less than a hundred yuan, And after the promotion of the trap armor, the speed of production has been much faster, and many elite generals in the army have begun to equip this kind of trap armor with greatly enhanced protection, and have built up a team of soldiers and horses with very strong combat effectiveness...
Coupled with Gao Huaiyuan's trust and support, coupled with Ji Xiancheng's super imperial history, a large number of incompetent officials have been dismissed one after another, and no one in the government and the opposition dares to find something to attack indiscriminately, so that Zhen Dexiu and his people have a lot less to worry about doing things, so all government affairs are advancing very quickly. These things are really in their eyes, and they remember it in their hearts, although they are still a little dissatisfied with Gao Huaiyuan being such an empty emperor, but no one in the big guys mentions this stubble matter anymore.
This time, after hearing the news that Gao Huaiyuan was going to Lizhou Road again, everyone also had a feeling of attachment to Gao Huaiyuan...
"During the period when Xia Guan left the Jingshi, all political affairs must also be entrusted to Lord Zhen, you have worked hard! I'm getting a little better and can't get in any more trouble! After this official solves the matter of Tubo this time, it will be time for us to recover the Central Plains! Gao Huaiyuan said to Zhen Dexiu and others.
"Gao Shuxiang, don't worry! I'm here to wait, and I won't disappoint the cardinal! Like Gao Shuxiang, we, the civil officials, also hope that our Great Song Dynasty will become strong, please rest assured that Gao Shuxiang is here! Zhen Dexiu didn't like to listen to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, as if he cared about this Song Dynasty alone, so he opened his mouth and gave Gao Huaiyuan a soft nail.
Gao Huaiyuan smiled awkwardly and touched his nose, nodded and said, "It's me who lost my words!" Don't be weird about adults, and don't worry about rough people like me! It's all up to you! β
After sending away Zhen Dexiu and others, Ji Xiancheng stayed and had a secret discussion with Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan told Ji Xiancheng that he must supervise the officials in the court, and once he found that someone was restless, he could directly dismiss their officials and rush back to his hometown to farm, Ji Xiancheng also agreed again and again. After Gao Huaiyuan thought about it, he went to the palace alone and met with Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun has been pampered in the palace all day long, but because he is depressed in his heart, his temper has become much worse, and he scolds the Yellow Gate and the palace maids and concubines in the palace at every turn, smashes dishes and bowls, and whips them at every turn, which makes the people in the palace very dissatisfied with him, but because he is still an emperor, so everyone has nothing to do with him...
And Zhao Yun because of the depression in his chest, he had nothing to do, so he gradually became more addicted to wine, this year, his body was not as good as before, and he became very thin, and although he was the emperor with a lot of women around him, he seemed to be destined to have no children, a huge harem, only one concubine gave birth to a daughter to him, and the stomachs of the other concubines never moved anymore, so Zhao Yun was even more depressed, and worked harder and harder on the belly of the concubines in the harem, and the result was that the body was obviously not as good as day by day. He even had to rely on some aphrodisiacs to maintain his man's abilities.
When Gao Huaiyuan entered the palace and saw Zhao Yun, looking at Zhao Yun's tired face, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, and comforted Zhao Yun with words, telling him that he was going to leave the capital temporarily for a while.
But Gao Huaiyuan's next words immediately extinguished the glimmer of divine light in his eyes: "Your Majesty! Although Weichen is going to leave for a while now, all kinds of affairs in the DPRK and China have been arranged in advance! Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about these things, someone will take care of them! β
The flash of hope in Zhao Yun's eyes was instantly extinguished, and he lazily leaned back on the dragon chair and looked at Gao Huaiyuan with his complicated eyes of resentment, helplessness, and worry, and asked with a sneer: "So are you still worried that I will be bad for you?" β
Gao Huaiyuan looked at Zhao Yun's eyes, shook his head slightly, and said: "This Weichen doesn't have to worry, if Your Majesty still wants to kill me, I'm afraid you have to ask the world if you agree first!" I'm afraid it won't do your majesty much good to kill me! After all, there are still many people in the royal family!
But I also advise Your Majesty, now that all my affairs are developing in a good direction, why don't Your Majesty go on like this, after all, when Weichen recovers the Central Plains one day, these credits will still be written on the body of the saint! β
Zhao Yun closed his eyes and said, "You just have to go!" Now that you've got everything arranged, why bother to come to my jokes? Even if I want to take power, I'm afraid I won't have a chance! β
Gao Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty understands this best, then Weichen can rest assured to do things for my court!" I also hope that Your Majesty will take care of your body, after all, the wine-colored upper body, it is better to restrain it! β
Zhao Yun suddenly opened his eyes again and said angrily: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, you and I had an appointment first, no matter what you do in the palace, and you will not interfere in my affairs in the palace!" Has Gao Aiqing forgotten this? β
Gao Huaiyuan smiled slightly and said, "In this way, it should be Weichen who has trespassed!" I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! Wechen retired! β
Zhao Yun looked at Gao Huaiyuan's back as he walked out of the hall, and slapped his palm heavily on the dragon case, unconsciously biting his lips with his teeth, and he didn't even know that his lips were bitten out of blood......
This time Gao Huaiyuan entered Sichuan again, but it was not as light as the last time, he carried a large number of exquisite and valuable gifts in Beijing, and dispatched a total of 5,000 elite soldiers and horses from the two armies of the front division of the palace to go to Lizhou togetherγγγγγ
Along the way, he still had the old habit of not accepting banquets from any officials, but only asked the government along the way to provide basic supplies for his troops, and strictly ordered everyone in the team not to harass the local people under any pretext, so that the people in the places he passed through were very grateful.
In the past, as long as the Song army had action, it would drag its family and mouth on the road, huhula like a swarm of locusts, eat wherever they went, so that the common people along the way suffered greatly, but there was no place to complain, and the current army of officers and soldiers was purged, and did not infringe on the people along the way, which made the people really realize the strictness of today's high-level minister's management of the army, so the people who heard the news waited on the roadside in advance, and took the initiative to stuff all kinds of labor things into the hands of the officers and soldiers in the team.
Looking at the lively people welcoming them on both sides of the road, Gao Huaiyuan rode on his horse and constantly bowed his head slightly to signal to the crowd cheering for him, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart.
Thinking that he has been in this world for more than ten years, he can finally control the fate of the Southern Song Dynasty now, and his confidence is much full, he believes that as long as through the unremitting efforts of him and his subordinates, the fate of these ordinary people will be completely changed after decades, and there will no longer be the steel knives of the Mongols to cut them down, they can continue to live and work in peace and contentment in this land, and continue the glory that they have worked so hard to create, instead of being wiped out by the barbaric Mongolian Tatars.
