Chapter 8: The Imperial Study

I returned to Ningqian Palace, and as soon as I drank tea for a while, I saw Xiao Qi hurriedly come in and report: "Gonggong Li asks to see me." ”

Not again?

I know that it must be about today's court meeting, Xie Daoqing's news is too fast, this Ma Tingluan is making trouble in the court, Xie Daoqing seems to be going to be a peacemaker.

"Your Majesty, how does it feel to go to court for the first time today?" Xie Daoqing is still unfazed.

"After returning to his mother, the child was a little nervous when he came to court, and asked his mother for guidance."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be in a hurry, you will get used to it slowly. Now that Ma Tingluan's words are purely his personal actions, the original intention is just to worry that His Majesty has just come to the court, and there are many aspects that will not be considered, so there will be such words, he is a straightforward person, there is no malicious intent, and the official family should not go to heart. ”

"The child knows, the queen mother can rest assured. In the future, when there is confusion in court affairs, the child will often come to the queen mother for instructions. ”

Xie Daoqing nodded slightly and said: "I am also a woman's family, and the official family has to make their own decisions about major national affairs, but the official family needs to be familiar with the affairs of the court and the central government as soon as possible, so that they can master the Dragon Court as soon as possible." ”

"The child is grateful to his mother for teaching."

"Yes, go ahead." Xie Daoqing didn't want to talk to me more, and immediately issued an eviction order when the goal was achieved.

Imperial power, rear power, and prime minister's power are three-legged, Xie Daoqing is naturally reluctant to push me to the side of Jia Yidao, and Ma Tingluan's remarks in the court seem to be a little too hasty, so that Xie Daoqing has to personally appease me.

Although I am currently the weakest link of the three powers, I represent the legitimacy of the throne, and whichever side I lean toward, then that side will have the upper hand.

In the next few days, in addition to going to the court and practicing martial arts, I spent most of my time in the imperial study on the second floor of Ningqian Palace.

At this time, it was the middle of November of the fifth year of Jingding, and although it was cold and windy outside, the house was warm like spring.

This royal palace seal can be quite good, the heating stove is also exquisitely designed, the life of the emperor is different, but I don't know how the ancient common people lived.

The life of ordinary people in modern times has a fashionable word, called people's livelihood, this is related to a country's foundation for a thousand years, but also I have to face a long-term responsibility, when I have free time, I have to go out for a walk in person, the great man once said, no investigation has no right to speak, this is absolutely true.

In addition to people's livelihood, there are also a lot of things such as the national economy, military, political power, humanities, etc., it seems that this ancient emperor is not easy to be, so much knowledge to learn, no wonder many emperors simply spread their hands, it is much easier to be a faint monarch.

The imperial study has a collection of books, folds, and a lot of documents, but fortunately, I read the book very quickly, and within a few days, I initially browsed it, and I imagined that it was much the same, and the actual national conditions were appropriately described by the word "many holes", and each dynasty was probably like this before its demise.

At this time, the territory is gradually shrinking, since 1253 after the Dali Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols, the Southern Song Dynasty court can only favor one side, the north retreats to the two Huai, and three years ago, that is, in 1261, because of Liu Quan's surrender to the enemy, Sichuan fell partially, when I think of Liu Quan's surrender to the enemy, I can't wait to scold Jia Rudao Lu Wende and other scum. Liu Quan can rebel and occupy the mountain as the king, but I will never forgive him for defecting to the enemy and betraying the country, so I will definitely kill him in the future, of course, I will not let go of Jia Rudao and others.

Fortunately, at this time, there was civil strife in Mongolia, and Kublai Khan's throne was unstable, so he retreated to the north in time, which gave me three years. Three years later, the famous Battle of Xiangyang will begin. That is to say, I have to change the status quo in three years, and the most important thing is to change the status quo of the army, otherwise I will be left behind in history and find myself in an extremely unfavorable situation.

Although the Mongols have surpassed the Great Song in terms of military combat effectiveness, the current Great Song is still slightly ahead of the Mongols in terms of the comprehensive strength of the two countries.

The fall of the Southern Song Dynasty was not at the hands of the Mongols, but at their own hands.

Since Yu Jue, the only outstanding general should be Li Tingzhi, who is currently the envoy of Yangzhou and is in charge of the two Huai systems. In my mind, the future Marshal of the Song Army is none other than this person. With Li Tingzhi guarding the two Huai, I can rest assured for the north for the time being, but who should Xiangyang send? The historical Xiangyang guard Lu Wenhuan was able to defend Xiangyang for six years without reinforcements, which can be regarded as an indispensable contribution, but this Lu Wenhuan and Lu Wende are all people like Jia, should I reuse them? If not, who else can use it?

While thinking about it, I suddenly remembered such a post I had read on a website before, the main content of which was that Qin Hui would become an eternal annihilation under Tang Taizong? Can Wei Zheng still become a famous minister through the ages under the command of Song Gaozong?

For a long time, it has been said in the history books that there were no talents in the late Southern Song Dynasty who could determine the country, and it is better to say that there was no emperor who knew how to use talents.

The history of China for thousands of years is basically the same, as soon as the Ming monarch comes out, the world will be decided, and once the faint monarch comes out, the world will be in chaos, which is the common disease of human governance of society. The most obvious example is Tang Xuanzong, the first half of his life was wise and martial, the world was governed, the scene was prosperous more than the rule of Zhenguan, and the second half of his life was mediocre and confused, which led to the Anshi Rebellion and almost ruined the country.

At that time, I agreed with this article very much, as the so-called famous ministers under the rule of the Ming monarch, and the annihilation of the ministers under the rule of the faint monarch.

Just imagine, if Lu Wenhuan's boss during the Battle of Xiangyang was Li Tingzhi, then maybe nothing would have to change, and he would be able to defend this Xiangyang.

Of course, I don't just want to hold Xiangyang, I want an army that can completely defeat the Mongols, and if Xiangyang can be held, I will have more time to build an invincible elite army.

With that in mind, I moved on to the other books.

In all fairness, by the end of the Song Dynasty, many systems had become more complete and advanced, for example, the recruitment system of the Song Dynasty had the rudiments of the source of modern soldiers, and the rotation system of generals was basically equivalent to that of modern times.

It's just that a good system does not mean that things can be done well, because all systems are implemented by people, so people are fundamental, and it is said that the competition in the future society is the competition of talents, in fact, it is inseparable from talents at any time.

The technology of this era has also developed to a certain height, but many inventions and creations such as the compass, gunpowder, movable type printing and so on have not been well applied, and then I can fully reflect the advantages of my traveler.

For example, gunpowder, of course, the focus is on the development of the military, in this era, the earliest prototype of the musket assault rifle has appeared, and the annual output of steel in the Southern Song Dynasty has reached 100,000 to 200,000 tons, so it is not impossible to produce a more practical smoothbore arquebus, and the invention of the compass has played a decisive role in navigation.

As for other industries, commerce, agriculture, etc., have also developed well in this era. It can also be seen from the comments of later generations that the Song Dynasty can be described as the pinnacle of the development of China's feudal society.

The books and materials in the imperial study are very comprehensive, covering almost all walks of life, but it is estimated that Song Lizong will not even reach ten percent of them.

A few days passed quickly, and after I read it roughly, I basically had an understanding of the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was time to make a plan based on what I knew.

Externally, we will break through the Mongolian iron cavalry, recover the mountains and rivers, and internally, rectify the rebellion in the DPRK and China, and return our Great Song Dynasty to a mess.

In the past few days, I feel like I have returned to my original nest and become that otaku again.
