Chapter 215: Monarchs, Ministers, Fathers and Sons

Wang Zhiwang stroked his palms and laughed, "Young Eunuch Li is an understanding person. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Fengwu smiled bitterly, "I don't understand, my uncle Zhang Jun said this to me before." ”

Wu Lan was surprised, "Did Zhang Xianggong think this before he gave office?" ”

Zhang Jun is absolutely the main battle faction, and even he has this kind of thought, which makes him very surprised.

Li Fengwu nodded.

Wu Xuan was silent for a moment, "Zhang Xianggong's words are not bad. ”

Wang Zhiwang nodded, "In fact, the old general, you and I, and even Li Shaojian, the newly promoted favored minister of the Son of Heaven, everyone knows in their hearts that the Great Song Dynasty really does not have the ability to restore the Northern Expedition at present, and the two Song-Jin wars last year and last year, not to mention the depletion of the treasury, the achievements are obvious to all, and it is not very cost-effective." ”

Wu Xuan didn't speak, as a military general, there were some things he couldn't say.

Li Fengwu nodded, "If the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty are not removed, there is almost no possibility of the success of the Northern Expedition." ”

Wang Zhiwang nodded and sighed, "So the Lord is harmonious, so Gou An, that's why there is a saying that Hangzhou is only Bianjing." ”

Wu was even more silent.

The Great Song Dynasty accumulated disadvantages, redundant soldiers, redundant expenses, and redundant personnel.

For example, one side has 10,000 garrison soldiers and horses, but in fact it is good to have 6,000, almost half of the empty salary, and there are about 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.

Such an army, talk about restoring the country?

Let's talk about redundancy...... How many of the funds allocated by the various state coffers can finally be realized?

Thinking of this, Wu Lan was even a little ashamed.

It's not that he hasn't benefited from redundant soldiers, otherwise how could a family of dozens of people live a life of fine clothes and food, from this aspect, the generals of the main battle faction are not more or less with some kind of thoughts.

Because of the war, the generals can make a fortune and will not be ignored by the officials.

Li Fengwu let out a long sigh, "Sheji is half an inch, the king is prospering, but there are no courtiers in the court." ”

Wang Zhiwang said: "Sigh that my court has no Wang Anshi, no Fan Zhongyan, and no Han Qi Fubi, although my Wang Zhiwang also wants to assist the official family to work hard, and plan for peace and action, but after all, his ability is limited." ”

Wu Lan also sighed, "Among the heroes, there is no Yue Fei, Han Shizhong ......"

I still have self-knowledge, and I can be undefeated in my life, one is that I have taken advantage of the geographical advantage and natural risks, and the other is that Sichuan and Shaanxi are not the key offensive direction of the Jin State.

In terms of martial arts, he is really inferior to Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.

Sheji, king, courtier.

This is a problem that is difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to solve at present.

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Luan's heart became more and more decadent, and the heart of retreat became more and more resolute.

glanced at Li Fengwu.

Thinking about this son, Jiankang resisted the will to enter the official career, so that Jin did not disgrace the mission, explored the flowers in high school, and now Dali has successfully returned, the trajectory of this son is like a sign of my Song Mingzhu.

Maybe one day, this son can become the pinnacle of my Great Song Dynasty's restoration of the country.

So he was a little relieved, "The future court, the future Jiangshan Sheji, and the future auxiliary officials will rely more on Young Eunuch Li and Bachelor Wang." ”

Li Fengwu smiled, "I should have worked hard in the court, the frontier army, the old general, and look outside, there are 6,000 iron horsemen in the Jianghuai to break the abduction horse and Tiefutu Li Rui, there are 4,000 broken 10,000 Great Song Dynasty sharp knives and Zong Ping, who is also known as the evil ghost of Nirvana, and Lu Zhen, who is committed to defending Xiangyang, and Xin Qiji, who assisted Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, to defend the Anfeng army and achieved a great victory. ”

After a pause, he suddenly became elevated, "After a few years, who dares to say that I have no ministers who have advanced north in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Wang Zhiwang smiled silently.

Wu Lan was suddenly moved, and suddenly made a gesture to Li Fengwu, "I wish to have this day." ”

……

……

The mission returned to the Great Song Dynasty and soon boiled over the Great Song Dynasty and the opposition.

There was an urgent express delivery back to Lin'an.

On this day, in Deshou Palace, Zhao Gou and Empress Dowager Wu were enjoying singing and dancing, and when they heard the eunuch announcing that the emperor had arrived, the two didn't think much about it, they just thought it was an ordinary visit.

After Zhao Yan sat down after the ceremony, Zhao Gou smiled and asked, "It's easy to deal with the government in recent days?" ”

Zhao Yan replied: "Father, everything is fine, but the Taishi Bureau said that there will be a big drought in many places this spring, and I have been prepared, so I won't panic when the time comes." ”

Zhao Gou nodded, "Do you still have the ability to open a warehouse and release grain?" ”

Zhao Yan was a little embarrassed and couldn't answer.

In the two Song-Jin wars, the treasury was empty, and there was not much food.

Empress Dowager Wu made a round, "I heard that the mission to Dali is coming back, I don't know what to do?" ”

Zhao Yan's spirit was shocked, "Li Fengwu and others lived up to expectations, and agreed with Dali that the annual trade of Yunnan horses has increased from the original 3,500 horses to 6,500 horses, which is only official, and Dali will no longer restrict the private trade of Yunnan horses." ”

Zhao Gou was not very happy, "The Dian horse is not the main horse breed of the cavalry after all. ”

"The child knows, so he will buy steppe horse breeds from the Mongolian tribes from the newly opened trade channel from the Western Liao side to form a heavy cavalry army." Zhao Yan is filial piety and has never hidden anything from Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou nodded, "Your hands are indeed beautiful, but the formation of a cavalry army is not a matter of one or two days, but a protracted one. ”

I was a little relieved.

The emperor began to form a cavalry army against the Jin State, which was not a matter of a year and a half, which also showed that in the short term, he would not use troops against the Jin, which made Zhao Gou, who was afraid of the Jin State, somewhat relieved.

Zhao Yan nodded, "The child knows, there is still something to tell his father, General Wu is on the way to Beijing." ”

Zhao Gou was moved, "Is it Wu Lan?" ”

Zhao Yan nodded, "Looking at the old general's performance, it seems that he wants to resign and go into hiding." ”

Zhao Gou was stunned, a little sad.

suddenly lost the mood to watch the song and dance, waved his hand and motioned all the dancing girls to go down, and then said softly: "It's time to enter Beijing, let him come and see me, I haven't seen him for many years." ”

Zhao Yan nodded, "Yes, I will ask my father to say a thing or two at that time, so that the old general does not resign and go into hiding, the Sichuan-Shaanxi garrison cannot do without him." ”

Zhao thought for a while, "Wu Lan is indeed old, he will resign if he wants to resign, it's time to train more of your young courtiers, that Li Rui of the 6,000 iron cavalry in Jianghuai is good, but he can be a big man, Zongping, the great-grandson of the old general Zong, after the Great War last year, he won a reputation as a great Song Dynasty sharp knife, and he can also be reused, even the Lu Zhen who is guarded by Xiangyang, you can also reuse it as appropriate." ”

Empress Dowager Wu added, "Han Cheng's eldest son, Han Yanqiang is also good, only the prefect of any prefecture, and he is a little more talented." ”

Zhao Yan was overjoyed in his heart, his father's thoughts were the same as his own, this would be easy to do, "The child thinks the same, after the resignation of General Wu, the child plans to let Lu Zhen go to the Sichuan and Shaanxi Road to serve as the commander of the first army, focusing on cultivation, and let Li Rui take on the heavy responsibility of building a new heavy cavalry, as for Zongping, the child feels that this son is extremely sharp, and he can continue to guard the Anfeng army, as for the queen mother said that Han Yanqiang, after a while, the child will transfer him to the center of the capital to assist the child, the queen mother thinks it is good? ”

Zhao Gou had no opinion, "You can do it if you think it's good, but there is one point, I have to remind you." ”

"Father, please."

Zhao Gou glanced at Empress Dowager Wu, "Whether it is Li Rui, Zong Ping, or Lu Zhen, they are all your courtiers, not a certain prince, not a few grandchildren, not that Song Xiaofeng." ”

There is no mention of Han Yanqiang.

Empress Dowager Wu's face suddenly turned ugly, and her husband was insinuating that he was speaking for his nephew Han Yanqiang.

Zhao Yan saw it in his eyes, and had no choice but to say: "The child understands, but Han Yanqiang does have the talent to govern the country, and the child has long wanted to reuse it, but there have been many major events in the past two years, so it has been delayed." ”

Zhao Gou also smiled in his heart, this son, although he is not biological, he is more filial than his own.

On the one hand, he has great respect for himself, and on the other hand, he is also filial to the Queen Mother.

It's really hard for him.

If you don't have such a strong ambition to go north, it would be perfect.

But...... If he waits for his death, he can really go north to Bianjing, which is also a prosperous event for my old Zhao family.

Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Yan, and his heart suddenly felt a little sour, this kid has silver hair in his sideburns, and he hasn't enjoyed a good day since he ascended the throne, and he has been working on state affairs all day long.

suddenly remembered something, "Now that the major events are decided, it's better to consider the next candidate." ”

This is a sensitive topic.

Zhao Yan was speechless for a moment. (To be continued.) )
