Chen Shu's mother died.

In the Song Dynasty, Ding Wei did not say that it was three years, of course, it was best to survive for three years, but it was impossible for a capable minister like Chen Shu to give him three years, and after a hundred days, he would be reinstated, also known as seizing love.

However, during these 100 days, it is necessary to build a small shed, and to prohibit music, singing, dancing, meat, and all entertainment. Live an ascetic life in a small shed for a hundred days, otherwise it is unfilial.

Chen Shu carefully managed the finances for the country, and his health was almost exhausted, coupled with this 100-day ascetic life, and the grief after his mother's death, although he was reappointed as the governor of Kaifeng after a hundred days, he left the world soon after.

This person, like Song Jiu, doesn't like to talk much. Therefore, everyone did not pay attention to the credit, but in the rule of Xianping, the war was not fought less, and the government was not less, but the country became better, the people became richer, and the finances increased. Not only the credit of Zhao Heng Xianping's rule, but also the credit of the prime ministers such as Lu Mengzheng, Lu Duan, Zhang Qixian, Xiang Minzhong and Li Xin, Chen Shu's careful management must not be ignored.

As for Kou Zhun, it has nothing to do with Kou Zhun, and his credit is in the back.

Therefore, Song Jiu insisted that Zhao Heng give him the title of Mo Wen, the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth, the moral erudition, the study and diligence and good questioning, the benevolence and love of the people, the benevolence and love of the people, the benevolence of the people, the title of the people, and the virtue of the corresponding and Mo.

Wen Mo is a portrayal of Chen Shu's life, and asked Lu Mengzheng to write a Shinto monument for him.

A right-hand man is lost, but what happens next is still what to do.

Song Jiu entered the palace, found Zhao Heng and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, you should know Shengzhou with Li Jilong." ”

Zhao Heng's face changed slightly.

Zhishengzhou honestly wronged Li Jilong. However, Shengzhou now ruled most of the Nanhetao area, including the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who trained day and night.

Song Jiu said euphemistically: "Your Majesty." The materials that cannot harm the pillars of the country because of a small person cannot be used, and the minister can guarantee it. ”

"This ......"

"There is no shortage of generals these days. In the opinion of the ministers, the country has at least more than 20 good generals, and Wang Chao can only be at the bottom of these more than 20 good generals," Song Jiu's words are not belittling Wang Chao, the number he said is only about 20 people, how many generals are there in the country from middle to high, Wang Chao can rank in the top 20, which is considered an overestimate.

"But what the country lacks is a commander-in-chief, a commander-in-chief who can command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight. In the opinion of the ministers, even if Yang Yanzhao, Wei Neng and other generals who can fight on the front line, they probably can't, for no other reason, they lack the experience of commanding so many soldiers and horses. However, no one dared to give them a test, so please think twice. ”

Zhao Heng was still a little hesitant.

Song Jiu wanted to scold Wang Jien's mother, so he had to say again: "For example, Lu Mengzheng, who helped the second prince in the past, is not loyal to His Majesty now. Another example is Wei Chigong of the Tang Dynasty. Cheng Zhijie and others, that one was not the enemy of Tang Taizong before. Besides, Li Jilonghu. ”

Song Jiu persuaded for a long time, and Zhao Heng agreed.

Of course, this is the last board drawing.

And one more person to thank. The worship official of the Liao State fled to the Song Dynasty to vote, and when he saw Zhao Heng, he said that the Han soldiers in Youzhou were under the control of the Liao State. About 18,000 horsemen, the generals who signed it. Khitan, Nine Female Xi, North and South Leather Room, Dangzhen Relic, Eight Relics, and the four towns behind the mountain have about 108,000 horsemen. There were 5,600 permanent guards for the Khitan lord, and the remaining 93,950 were immediately invaded by the south.

"In this way, there are not many Khitan troops."

"Your Majesty, if necessary, you can immediately transfer troops to the Xi, Xi, Bohai, Shatuo, Tuhun and other tribes, and even to the side of the Murowei, Jurchen, Tatar and Wugu enemy lies. For example, when Yelu Xian conquered Goryeo, he mobilized nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses, known as 700,000, to attack Goryeo. ”

400,000 iron horsemen, there was silence in the hall at that time.

The Liao State only had more than 100,000 cavalry going south each time, but that time the Song Dynasty did not fight very hard, and even failed.

If 400,000 Liao iron horses went south, it would be a nightmare for the Song Dynasty.

Under this pressure, Zhao Heng agreed to Li Jilong to go to Shengzhou, and the fact that Shengzhou was also false, mainly let Li Jilong understand these current strong forces, and it would be convenient to command them in the future.

……

The person Song Jiu respected the most was not Chen Shu, but Chen Shu could be ranked second, although this person was once his subordinate, and many theories were taught to him by Song Jiu.

The most respected person is none other than Lu Mengzheng, Lu Mengzheng has a great reputation, but he feels a little famous. In fact, in Song Jiu's heart, Lu Mengzheng's status is not as good as Zhang Qixian.

But it's not Zhang Qixian, Zhang Qixian is too arrogant, and Song Jiu can't learn.

It's not Xiang Minzhong, Xiang Minzhong is not as good as Lu Mengzheng.

As for what kind of demeanor Lu Duan is like as the prime minister, Song Jiu has not seen it and will not make an evaluation.

The person he respects the most may be the one that many people don't know, and that is the Holy Prime Minister Li Xin.

This is a demon-like character, Zhao Heng went to the Daimyo's Mansion, Li Xin stayed in the capital, and after coming back, the capital was well governed, Zhao Heng talked to him and asked what to pay attention to first in governing the country, Li Xin said, do not choose shallow people who are good at great achievements, this is the most important thing to pay attention to.

You can compare the later period of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in history......

Kou Zhun had a good relationship with Ding Wei at this time, and recommended it to Li Xin many times, but Li Xin disagreed, saying that Guan Ding Wei was a person, how could he be in a high position.

Kou Zhun said, can you suppress a person like Ding Wei for the rest of your life.

Li Xin said, if you regret it in the future, you will think of my words. Later, Kou Zhun was framed by Ding Wei, and then he thought about it, regret and regret.

Li Xin presented the Quartet to Zhao Heng every day, Wang Dan thought that the trivial things were not enough to annoy him, Li Xin said, the master of the people, should make the people know the suffering, otherwise the blood is strong, do not pay attention to the sound of dogs and horses, it is the work of the civil armor and soldiers, I am old, I can't see it, you are still young, I am afraid it will make you worry in the future.

Later, Zhao Heng looked for immortals everywhere, and Wang Dan was troubled.

This is not what Song Jiu admires, but he just admires it a little.

In the past, Zhao Kuangyi demoted him, Song Jiu slightly underestimated this person, this time he came to Zhongshu, heard and witnessed, and saw with his own eyes how Li Xin did things, not arguing, not arguing, not talking, just doing. Even Song Jiu has a golden finger. In many things, he is far from being so many.

Li Xin is the greatest contributor to the rule of Xianping. But Song Jiu was negligent in one point, that is, how many brain cells did it cost.

But Zhao Heng changed the name of the year in order to be able to seal Liu E's beauty. Later, Li Xin became seriously ill.

Zhao Heng took his ministers to visit Li Xin.

Li Xin was bedridden, but looked at Song Jiu.

"Gong Li, what do you have to say?"

"What will the public do after the deed is done?"

"After the matter is completed, I will clean up the aftermath, I believe that the people's livelihood of the country will become very difficult at that time, but whether it is successful in a year or not, I will give you a message. The male is tired and sick, and the illness is like this, and I don't have the heart of the male. I also want to enjoy my old age in peace. ”

"Song Gong, if it weren't for Li forcing you to express your position in public, Li believed the public's integrity. However, you can't make a bad head public, just like Tang Xuanzong treated Xue Ne, of course, Xue Ne is far inferior to the public. ”

"I know it."

"I'm going to work hard for Song Gong in the future."

Li Xin couldn't do it, and Song Jiu was forced to do it. Do you really expect Wang Qinruo and Wang Dan? If Wang Qin is capable, his ethics are too poor, and Wang Dan is too young. Now it can only be said that it is slowly cultivating. and Lu Mengzheng, who also seems to be sick. Then Song Jiu will be very hard.

"Alas, as soon as Chen Shu goes, I will have one less Guan Zhong. Jun Ruo...... That's tantamount to one less Xiao He. or Fangdu. Song Jiu sighed.

Of course, many people don't understand their conversation. But it doesn't matter, Zhao Heng understands.

Li Xin can't be blamed. Now Song Jiu's prestige is too high, and many important ministers are his subordinates. Or a student who gets sideways. After saying this, Li Xin closed his eyes with peace of mind.

Zhao Heng cried loudly.

The first year of Jingde. In July, Li Xin, who was only 57 years old, died.

Later, Lu Mengzheng was also sick, please save Zhishi. Zhao Heng was also afraid that Lu Meng would have an accident, so he agreed. Zhao Heng had no choice but to bring up Bi Shi'an, in recent years, he has made a lot of contributions to the management of the river, one is not worried about the people, two has no disputes, three accounts are clear, after several years of governance, although the Yellow River has a great potential the year before last, but there is no lack of embankment, but waterlogging is inevitable. But it is also stronger than the Yellow River bursting.

But for Bi Shi'an himself, firstly, he has made political achievements, and secondly, he has accumulated a lot of practical experience.

It is not enough to have Bi Shi'an, there are many things in the future, the Song Dynasty has invested a lot of money in the military in recent years, including scouts, and even bribed several high-ranking officials of the Liao State, so it got some secret information of the Liao State.

The news has just been sent, so there are Li Xin's words.

In fact, Song Jiu admired Li Xin, and Li Xin also admired Song Jiu very much, but he never dreamed that Song Jiu had a golden finger.

Therefore, it is not good to have Bi Shi'an, Zhao Heng asked who can enter with Qing? Bi Shi'an said, quasi-loyalty, can judge major affairs, and the ministers are inferior.

Zhao Heng said worriedly: "I heard that Kou Zhun was just angry, what can I do? ”

"Quasi-forgetful of the country, upheld the way of evil, so it is not liked by the customs. Now the north is not served, if the right is suitable for use. ”

Bi Shi'an sent Kou Zhun to Zhongshu with a word.

Kou Zhun stepped into the Chinese book again.

However, he looked up at it, there were two people on it, Bi Shi'an was the second Lu Duan, but there was another person like a mountain.

Song Jiu smiled when he saw Kou Zhun coming, and then handed him a booklet.

"Pingzhong, you see, this is the number of households counted by the household department last year. More than 7.8 million people, how many people did Taizong have in the world in his later years, and in just six years, how many people have increased in the world? More than two million households! Of course, there is also the income of the three divisions, Chen Shu recommended you to go to the three divisions, you know better than me. But how many wars have there been over the years? There were several major wars with the Liao State, and there were also slight wars in the northwest, as well as the Bashu Rebellion. And how many disasters, droughts, locust plagues, the Yellow River bursting its banks, waterlogging, plague epidemics. It is not easy to have this political achievement. ”

"The reason why I want to say this, there is this achievement, not only because His Majesty has conscientiously initiated the rule of Xianping, as well as the efforts of the rulers and important ministers, but also because there is an atmosphere, such as Zhongshu, in fact, there are contradictions between the prime ministers, such as Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong have always been not very harmonious. But in the rapid development of the country, what is it for? Therefore, everyone takes the affairs of the state first, puts grievances behind them, and governs the country as one. ”

"In the past, Zhao Pu recommended you, and I was also optimistic about you, His Majesty Taizong valued you, why, dare to take responsibility! Only by daring to take responsibility can we do good deeds. But don't be impatient...... If it's not for your future, no matter how bad it is, it's not the governor or prefect of a big state. But prolonging your political life is for the sake of the country. ”

Song Jiu's words could not be said to be serious.

However, it didn't take long for Kou Zhun to become dissatisfied with Song Jiu.

Xiang Min is in the middle and bottom, and there has been a vacancy of the prime minister in Xifu.

The Privy Counsellor was also replaced by the Privy Council, of course, if the East and West could be merged, it would be fine, but Song Jiuzhi was not.

So he put forward a suggestion, every ten days, if the country encountered serious difficulties, then it was three to five days, the east and west two prefectures, the three important ministries and envoys, the two systems of grass officials, and the ministers above the imperial history, all gathered in the political hall, presided over by Zhao Heng, to discuss the country's military, political and financial affairs. In order to prevent the various ministries and departments from sharing powers, they are not familiar with each other, and government affairs are delayed.

After all, government affairs are all linked, for example, if government affairs do not consider military affairs and finance, military affairs do not consider government affairs and finance? The officials of the two systems drafted edicts, and the field and the ministers were equivalent to a kind of supervision agency, but I don't know how to supervise the military and political finances, is it not to stare at the ministers' household affairs?

This is the improvement of the system.

Zhao Heng agreed.

However, Song Jiu recommended another person to come back, and Zhao Heng also agreed, that is, to reappoint Zhang Qixian and Wang Jiying as both privy envoys.

Kou Zhun immediately objected.

But when he said it earlier, he immediately felt that something was wrong, so there were two cold lights that made him feel cold, and that was the eyes of Song Jiu and Zhao Heng.

PS: Blackout today...... There's one more soon, and the biggest climax has arrived. (To be continued......)
