Hearing Yue Fan's request, Zhao Huan was a little stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Zhao Huan asked in surprise: "Peng Zhan just wants to go home?" ”

Yue Pan nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has not been home for two years, whether his parents are good ministers is unknown, whether his wife is good ministers is unknown, sons of people, husbands and fathers, ministers are extremely incompetent, people who can't even take care of their families, how can He De be in the position of prime minister?" The minister thought that the minister was not worthy of such a position. ”

Zhao Huan turned around, looked at Yue Xuan, and said very seriously: "Peng Zhan, if you are not worthy of this position, then I think that no one in the world is worthy of such a position, I know, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma, you choose loyalty, and put filial piety in the second place, which may cause criticism, but, Peng Zhan, the four words of national preservation and my death are enough for you to become the prime minister without any objection, the whole Great Song Dynasty, except for you, no one dares to use these four words, it belongs to you and will always belong to you." ”

Yue Pan lowered his head and showed a self-deprecating smile: "Is the minister dead?" ”

Zhao Huan didn't speak.

"The minister promised the brothers, and accompanied them to fight to the death, they died in battle, and the minister is still alive, and the minister promised them, and they will live and die with them, but the minister is still alive, Your Majesty, the minister has not kept his promise, and there is no way to keep his promise, Your Majesty, such a person is not worthy of those four words, nor is he worthy of the position of prime minister." Yue shook his head and said.

This is a thorn in his heart, and he feels sorry for those brothers.

Zhao Huan pursed his lips and said: "The great cause has just begun, Peng Zhan, I can't live without you, and the Great Song Dynasty can't do without you, the generals behind you are added together." It's not worth a value of you, Peng Zhan, you must not give up on yourself, you have done nothing wrong, you have been fighting to the end, it is God's mercy. Let you survive and continue to make contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, Pengzhan, since God has let you live, there must be something that you need to do. ”

Yue turned his gaze away and said nothing.

Zhao Huan held Yue Fan's hand tightly and said, "I will make you a member of the Governor's Office, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and a young master of the crown prince." Wei Guogong, this will not change anything, if you want to go home, I can give you leave to visit your family, but, no matter what, Peng Zhan, promise me. Promise Zhao Huan, you must. Come back anyway and take on this position! ”

Yue Pan looked at Zhao Huan, from his eyes, Yue Pan couldn't see any hypocrisy, as an emperor, maybe he was born to be an excellent actor. But at this moment, Yue Tuo can't see his acting skills, he only sees his sincerity.

can make the emperor express himself from the heart, as a courtier, maybe. It's already the limit.

However, can I really enjoy power and fame, as well as glory and wealth? Those brothers who died in battle, can you really forgive me?

Yue Fan didn't know.

The emperor arrived at the palace and held the first great court meeting after the revival of the Great Song Dynasty, in the Taiji Hall that had just been completed, Emperor Zhao Huan held a great court meeting, so that all the courtiers in Beijing came to participate at this moment, and a series of major national events had to be resolved at the great court meeting, and immediately put into practice, the state machine could not stop working one day, once it stopped, the whole world would be difficult to adapt.

As the prime minister, Li Gang was the first to speak, and one by one he said what the Great Song Dynasty urgently needed to do, which was the work he had completed all night and night along the way, as the prime minister, Li Gang was conscientious to the limit, and did not hesitate to do this with his own body.

"Your Majesty has just arrived in Beijing, and Beijing was the capital of the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, and the most important thing at the moment is the division and confirmation of the location of the imperial court departments, so that colleagues in various departments can immediately start working and handling state affairs, which is a top priority......" Li Gang held a thick recital and read it slowly, and Zhao Huan listened to it with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Beijing city has just been out of the war, the reconstruction has not been two months, to be able to build the Taiji Palace, the main hall and the residence of the emperor and his family is already the limit, there are still a large number of buildings within the scope of the scheduled palace has not been completed, so the courtiers have no suitable place to work, Li Gang proposed to use the existing labor and materials to build a batch of wooden houses as emergency housing, the ministers are in the temporary office, and then the construction team rushed to build the departments needed by the court officials, and the rest were put first.

Gongsun Sheng raised objections, he thinks that the court officials can temporarily work in a simple place, just shelter from the wind and rain, we are also used to it in Yingtianfu, these foreign things are not important, and hundreds of thousands of Han people and Khitan people in the city have no fixed residence, and the war-torn Youzhou City obviously cannot provide the environment that these people need to live, so to appease the people's hearts as the first priority, the first thing that needs to be built is the people's residence, so that the people's hearts can be appeased as quickly as possible, and the status of the Great Song Dynasty in the hearts of the people of Yanyun can be established.

After all, since His Majesty has established the capital in the land of Yanyun, and the land of Yanyun has been ruled by the Central Plains for two hundred years, whether it is humanities, customs or ideas, it seems that it is not an easy thing for the Great Song Dynasty to build this place into a political, military and economic center, of course, we must give priority to the Yanyun people, so that we can get their support, occupy this place in the shortest possible time, and hold it firmly.

Zhang Shuye agreed with Gongsun Sheng's opinion, saying that we will be bitter ourselves, anyway, it will not be bitter for a day or two, but the people of Yanyun have suffered from the brutal rule of the Jurchens for a long time, at this time, to establish the status of the Great Song Dynasty and improve the image of the Great Song Dynasty, it is necessary to give them the best treatment and rule, so that they can "think of Song En", so as to "rule from the Song Dynasty", and even "enthusiastically join the army", "to make up for the lack of troops in the Central Plains", and "be content with agricultural affairs", At the fastest speed, Yanyun was built as the base of the Northern Expedition and an important area of the Great Song Dynasty.

The land of Jiangbei has been ruined, and it needs to recuperate, and the land of Jiangnan has paid huge financial and human resources for the Great Song Dynasty to gain a foothold in Jiangbei, and it needs to recuperate and recuperate, and it is not possible to overdraft the financial resources and manpower of Jiangnan, as for Guanzhong and Shuzhong, it is the same, in order to support the Western Army to fight the national war, almost all the capacity has been overdrawn, we can no longer expect anything from Guanzhong and Shuzhong, we need to let them recuperate, "let the people rest, in order to protect the strength of the whole people, Xu Tu will move later."

Li Gang proposed that without the support of the rear of the Great Song Dynasty, how could the land of Yanyun, which had already been dilapidated and even worse than Hebei, develop? Relying on these severely traumatized Yanyun people?

Zhang Liang, who became the secretary of the Great Song Dynasty's high-ranking military department, also expressed his support for this, saying that the land of Yanyun was dilapidated, and the people were extremely tired, in order to fight against the Jurchens, the strength of Yanyun's wealthy family had been consumed before, and Yanyun really did not have any strength to develop himself, and without the support of the rear, Yanyun could not develop.

Zhao Huan felt embarrassed by this, he didn't want to hurt the hearts of the people of Yanyun, so that they could not live and work in peace and contentment, and affect the great cause of the Great Song Dynasty, nor did he want the people of the Central Plains who had already paid too much to pay more, so that they could not live, he wanted to be a wise emperor to wash away the shame, and he must not leave a bad reputation of "not cherishing the people's power".

On the first important issue, the courtiers formed two factions to argue with each other, arguing non-stop, no one could convince anyone, Zhao Huan suddenly felt his head big, and then Zhao Huan saw Yue Fan standing quietly on the side, so he asked loudly: "Yue Qing, what do you think?" ”

Yue Pan heard Zhao Huan shouting at him, raised his head, saw Zhao Huan looking at him hopefully, and also looked at the ministers in the palace who suddenly quieted down, smiled helplessly, and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, we only need to think about it from a different angle, that's it, Li Xianggong, dare to ask what is the current priority?" Is it to consolidate Yanyun, or to let the Central Plains recuperate? ”

Li Gang pondered for a while, and then said: "The grassland clans are eyeing each other, the golden thieves still have the strength to fight, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet gained a firm foothold in Yanyun, but His Majesty has established the capital in Yanyun, indeed, consolidating Yanyun is the first thing." ”

Yue turned to look at the rest of the courtiers: "Everyone, can you agree with Li Xianggong's opinion?" ”

The courtiers discussed for a while, and they all agreed with Li Gang's opinion, the top priority is to consolidate Yanyun and make Yanyun stable, and the Great Song Dynasty must hold it and not lose the Yanyun that has just arrived.

So Yue opened his mouth and said, "In that case, what else is there to dispute?" You only need to think about how to play the maximum use at the minimum cost, and run Yanyun well, then it's okay, the northern frontier is consolidated, and the Central Plains and Jiangnan behind can naturally develop well, and it is relatively safe, if the northern frontier is not stable and the defense is not complete, once it is broken through the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, it will be slaughtered, and the hard work will not be in vain? ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers fell into thought, and then nodded and praised the vast majority, Li Gang also nodded again and again, and exclaimed: "The words of the father-in-law are deafening, indeed, we are negligent." ”

Yue laughed and said: "Xianggong doesn't have to blame himself, he only needs to start from the most critical point to look at things, and he can naturally get the right choice, and the most important thing to do now is self-evident, after determining, then think about how to do it, how to do it, that's it, after that, everyone brainstorms and makes suggestions, everyone, please also ask you to say more, no matter what the strategy is, as long as it is feasible, it can be adopted." ”

Zhao Huan sat on the top, looking at the ease of turning the arguments of the ministers into efficient thinking, resolving the possible quarrels, and couldn't help but sigh that letting Yue Flip be the prime minister is really the best choice, he really didn't see the wrong person, and he has such the ability to bring the quarreling ministers back on track, get everyone's approval, and ensure the harmony of the court, such a courtier is the most suitable to be the prime minister.

After a while, the courtiers have already listed a lot of things to do and ways to do them, Yue Chuan asked the military generals who were silent to speak freely, the ministers talked about government affairs, the military generals talked about military affairs, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, and there can be no military generals who can no longer speak in the court, they are all courtiers, and they all have the right to speak.

Zhao Huan smiled and nodded, so led by Yue Fei and Zong Ze, the strategy of consolidating the border defense proposed by the generals gradually took shape, and the day passed quickly, and Zhao Huan obviously felt that today's court meeting was unusually smooth and effective. (To be continued.) )
