"Don't kill?"

"It's not that you don't kill, Zhongjiangyuan killed many thieves in the battle of Beiwei. Later, Su Han, who made meritorious contributions to the Sword Gate, went to Meizhou to rescue, and the leader of the thieves, Wu Yun, resisted stubbornly, and attacked the Su Han Department and the defenders in the city in many ways, and killed many thieves. ”

"Zhang commanded, killing is not killing, and not killing may be the opposite of killing."

"It's ......"

"If you have a child, you are too spoiled, not to love your son, but to harm your child. The sooner Bashu is pacified, the fewer people will be killed. Beiwei Jun is like this, Zhang Yong is like this, Bashu is saved. ”

Who doesn't want to be good at home.

Liu E is a native of Sichuan, and two rebellions before and after have made most of the people in Bashu miserable.

"What else is there news from the temple?"

"I heard a piece of news that the Duke of Song proposed to set up 5,000 township cavalry in Bashu."

"Township cavalry?"

"I don't know the specifics, it seems that this time the Beiwei army still exposed some problems, mainly horses, the Beiwei army is mostly northwest horses and Khitan horses, fighting in the plains is very fierce, but in the hilly areas, there are various limitations. Compared with the Northwest Horse and the Khitan Horse, the Xichuan Horse and the Dian Horse, although shorter, are more suitable for running or fighting on the Bashu Mountain Road. The main purpose of this cavalry was to quickly withdraw troops and use them in the north after the rebellion was suppressed. The second intention is that this time, some barbarians took advantage of the troubled waters to fish and kidnapped many people. Once the rebellion is put down, the court will ask them for it, and if they don't listen, it may use a few of the more rampant barbarians to intimidate the barbarians and make them restrain a little. ”

Liu E understood this explanation.

In the past, the Song Dynasty had a serious shortage of horses, but it was difficult to calm down. The actual territory controlled by the Song Dynasty gradually covered the entire Nanhetao, and the tribes of the Beihetao also submitted to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty went to war with the Liao State again. Several great victories and the capture of many war horses. Although the imperial court reduced the number of pastoral supervisors in the Central Plains. But in the north opened up some pastoral overseers. Therefore, the military war horse is basically satisfied.

Moreover, the imperial court was still dominated by infantry, supplemented by cavalry.

But that doesn't mean the national horses are satisfied.

Simple, such as state transportation, stagecoaches, horses for rewarding officials, and royal horses.

There are more civilian horses, and dignitaries will raise horses in their homes, ride horses and pull carriages. Horses for commercial transportation, horses for arable land......

Therefore, Bashu continued to implement the tea and horse policy, one was divided into official offices, mainly for southwestern government horses, and the other was private trade, private trade horses.

However, the official horses were mainly used for war horses, and as the number of war horses was satisfied, the number of official tea horses gradually declined.

If 5,000 township cavalry is set up in Bashu, once there is a police, it can be quickly suppressed. It can also deter various barbarian tribes, and at the same time increase the number of tea horses, and further win over the Qiang people of Xichuan.

But Liu E didn't fully understand Song Jiu's intentions.

Song Jiu proposed this time, and the actual real target was the barbarians. In the future, the policy will gradually become tougher. Obedient, there is sugar to eat, disobedient. Then this cavalry, who is familiar with the local terrain and climate, will enter, and the army will face each other.

There's no need to rush this. You can take your time and organize the township cavalry first. Then train the troops, and then solve all kinds of problems. It will come in handy only after the last.

"But I heard another piece of news in the streets."

"What's the news?"

"It is rumored that Song Gong was merciful, so he ordered not to kill, so that tens of thousands of innocent people in Liangchuan who were involved in the thief army could live."

After Zhang Qi finished speaking, Liu E's face darkened.

"Big lady, don't worry, it's too late for Song Gong to avoid suspicion now, besides, it's to buy people's hearts, if Your Majesty hears about it, you must know that someone framed it."

"Zhao Gong was originally going to enter Xichuan to quell the chaos, but a monk in Emei Mountain said two words, Zhao Changyan's nose broke the mountain roots, this is also the opposite, it is not appropriate to entrust Shu affairs. He also said that Zhao Changyan has a heavy name, and he has no heirs, and now he has troops into Shu, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to control it in the future. Where is Zhao Gongjin? ”

This rumor is even more vicious than that of the great monk Maozhen.

As a king, what do you hate most about your ministers, buying people's hearts!

But who is framing Song Jiu?

It can't be the emperor, the emperor may slightly belittle Song Jiu in order to make a smooth transition of power, but in general, the emperor still believes in Song Jiu, and even feels guilty. There is no need to use this vicious rumor to force Song Jiu to go down, if it doesn't go down, it may become the second Lu Duoxun.

It can't be Song Jiu either.

Song Jiu said that the mountain people had their own clever plans, but they didn't dare to come up with this clumsy idea to let themselves go down.

Who's that?

In fact, the temple is like the country, can I be a good person? No way! If you don't eat people, people will eat you. Whoever eats well and eats wisely is the winner.

I don't know who is doing the ghost in Lu Dao, but it's not her who worries about it, and she doesn't have the ability to worry about it, let alone dare to worry about it.

Liu E cares about who Song Jiu and others are.

In fact, this person has already come to the capital, but Liu E has not paid attention to it for the time being.

Kou Zhun!

What has nothing to do with Song Jiu is that one is in Xifu, and the other is that he doesn't dare to add Song Jiu's prestige. There are also three prime ministers in Xifu, and Xiang Minzhong just came up, so he can't ask. The virtues of Chai Yuxi and Zhao Rong, Zhao Kuangyi is actually clear.

There are also many prime ministers in Dongfu, and Lu Mengzheng and Liu Changyan must be excluded first. Liu Changyan has only just ascended to the throne, but his former "master" has played an invisible but actually important role between the original two crown princes.

There is one thing that Zhao Kuangyi does not want to do.

Wang Jien examined Zhao Yuanxi's case and found letters between his second son and many ministers, including Zhao Pu and Lü Mengzheng, in Zhao Yuanxi's mansion.

Lu Duan was cautious, and he couldn't ask why.

Su Yijian likes to eat and drink, and spit out the truth after drinking, do you dare to ask an alcoholic about such an important matter?

Therefore, Song Jiu concluded that Zhao Kuangyi must Zhao Kuangyi to return to Beijing again, is he Zhao Kuangyi's "Wei Zheng".

However, when Kou Zhun first returned to the capital, although he was respected by Doctor Zuo, he had not yet entered the two mansions, so Liu E did not think about it.

In fact, Xiao Kou came to the capital, and the moment to decide the fate of the empire has come.

Seeing Xiao Kou, Zhao Kuangyi was very excited, rolled up his clothes, and showed Xiao Kou the wound on his leg. While complaining, "Why didn't you come until now?" ”

It means that if you don't come again, you won't see me. Implying that he himself is in a bad physical condition, you can boldly say it today.

Kou Zhun replied smoothly: "The ministers are not summoned to the capital. ”

I also want to go back to Beijing. But your old man will release me in Qingzhou for several years, what can I do?

The two of them had a cold chat.

Zhao Kuangyi went straight to the point and asked, "Who can pay for the artifact?" ”

Xiao Kou is a secondary 2 youth, but a very wise secondary 2 youth is different from other secondary 2 youths.

This question can't be answered casually, so he said a famous sentence in history: "Your Majesty chooses a king for the world, and you can't seek women and eunuchs; Seek to reach out to close ministers. Not either; But His Majesty chose the one who was the hope of the world. ”

But don't take it seriously, if you open the history books in another time and space, you will know that Kou Zhun in his later years did something, colluded with Zhou Huaizheng and other eunuchs to prepare to overthrow Liu E, and even forced Song Zhenzong to abdicate and give it to Xiao Zhao Zhen, who was only a few years old.

The words of politicians cannot be taken seriously.

At present, Kou Zhun's reply made Zhao Kuangyi a little unhappy, I have shown you the leg injury, you have to dare to say it.

So he simply asked directly: "How is Yuan Kan?" ”

Song Jiu said to Liu E that he was as immobile as a mountain. In terms of emotional color, Zhao Kuangyi's favorite is the eighth child, but it is impossible for the eighth child to be the crown prince, he is too young. Secondly, Yuanjie. However, Yuan Jie's ethics are slightly poor.

How important is the crown prince of the country, Zhao Kuangyi is not a faint monarch, and he will not inject emotional colors into the crown prince. So choose and choose. It's better to see who has more strengths and fewer weaknesses. Then Zhao Yuankan must be chosen.

Therefore, Zhao Yuankan is stronger than moving.

In particular, Zhao Yuankan's biggest shortcoming is this Liu E. In the future, for this Liu E, I don't know how much trouble there will be. So Song Jiu deliberately reminded them not to meet.

But under Song Jiu's reminder. Zhao Yuankan did one more thing, Li Jilong was transferred to the northwest, Empress Li held her breath, Zhao Yuankan entered the palace to visit, served diligently, and deliberately looked at Zhao Kuangyi's injury, "secretly" weeping.

I can't pretend anymore, but I'll just shed tears.

Zhao Kuangyi was a little sad, stroked his head and said, "This kid." ”

In particular, Zhao Yuankan's visit to Empress Li made Zhao Kuangyi appreciate it very much. Zhao Kuangyi doesn't need Li Jilong, nor does he need Song Jiu, but if these two behemoths are not handled well, it is not conducive to the transfer of national rights, so there is this arrangement, by the way, look at the trend of the court. However, the fifth son celebrated happily in the mansion, but the third son did not respect Empress Li's "loss of power". This child, among other things, has a conscience.

But his own thoughts are not counted, but he also has to look at the minister's thoughts, so that as a bystander's thoughts, he can refer to them.

Kou Zhun pushed the boat down the river and replied: "Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, since His Majesty wants to appoint King Xiang as the crown prince, let's hold the canonization ceremony as soon as possible." ”

So Zhao Yuankan's status as the crown prince was determined.

And luckier than his two elder brothers, first let Zhao Yuankan be Kaifeng Yin, then changed the title of Shouwang, and then made him the crown prince.

directly gave the crown prince the name.

Afterwards, Liu E reminisced repeatedly.

After a long time, he understood what Song Jiu could conclude that Zhao Kuangyi was going to summon Kou Zhun back.

He also said that Kou Zhun would come back and it would be beneficial to Zhao Yuankan.

If you divide the ministers, there are three factions, the neutral faction, the one who sympathizes with Zhao Defang's brother Zhao Tingmei, and the one who hates Zhao Defang's brother.

Including Song Jiu is from the second faction.

Zhao Pu is definitely the third faction.

But Xiao Kou is the second faction, without him, his wife is the sister of Empress Xiao Song.

However, as the prince, Yuan Jie is from the third faction, and Yuan Kan is from the second faction. Even Empress Li expressed sympathy for Zhao Tingmei and Empress Xiao Song, but she didn't dare to say it.

Therefore, when Xiao Kou comes back, he will inevitably support Zhao Yuankan. However, Kou Zhun replied very smartly, he didn't directly say that Zhao Yuankan was a suitable candidate, otherwise, with Zhao Kuangyi's suspicious character, he would have unnecessary suspicion and change Yuanjie. Therefore, Kou Zhun always took the emperor's will as his will, and finally made the overall situation settle.

Zhao Kuangyi's health was very poor at this time, and he couldn't hide it.

The people of the capital also heard about it, but the crown prince was empty, which made the people very worried.

So something happened.

Zhao Yuankan was established as the crown prince and wanted to go to the Taimiao Temple to meet the ancestors.

The Taimiao is in the southeast of the imperial city, not in the imperial city, so the guards surrounded Zhao Yuankan to go to the Taimiao.

Hearing that the crown prince had finally settled, the people of the capital were also relieved. Otherwise, the old emperor said that he would die, and the crown prince was uncertain, so good, come to a seven-dragon competition, and even Zhao Kuangyin's grandson, Zhao Tingmei's son will mix in the middle, and the country will be in chaos, and the first unlucky person is the people of the capital.

So one by one they poured into the streets to watch.

Seeing that Zhao Yuankan was only in his twenties, burly and in the prime of life, such a crown prince would help avoid a political turmoil after the emperor's death, so they cheered one by one: "What a young man." ”

Liu E was also in the crowd watching.

At first, her eyes were full of tears of joy, and when she suddenly heard these shouts, she was also unhappy, and almost fainted. (To be continued......)
