Chapter 363: The Abandoned Son (I)

"Rigoletto!"

Zhao Pu said disdainfully.

There is no point in entangling in this matter, Zhao Pu is still glad that Zhao Kuangyi came in time, otherwise he will make things bigger and out of control as soon as he leaves.

But Zhao Pu didn't believe that Song Jiu was so loyal, in some ways, Song Jiu could indeed be described as a courtier.

This is also his statement, otherwise he would be silent, Song Jiu went south to Lingnan for the sake of the country, and went north to the strange and cold Liaodong, both times he made great contributions, and he could immediately form a powerful force by taking advantage of this wind.

He is messing with Lu Duoxun, if he ignores Song Jiu, he may lose his previous efforts.

Song Jiu said lightly: "I don't have such good intentions, let's be a courtier, anyway, I don't want to be a courtier, flattery and loyalty to Your Majesty, it's not a scandal." But if you don't do it, if Your Majesty doesn't protect me, God knows how I will die in the future. ”

"One of you says less!" Zhao Kuangyi shouted.

"Your Majesty, don't say anything about other old ministers, Song Jiu is famous, saying that he loves the people, but because of Song Jiu, the people of Liaodong will be devastated, and the old ministers can't bear it."

"Ha Lu haha," Song Jiu Da laughed, but not to say, Zhao Pu's words would have an impact in the Song Dynasty, such as Li Fang's sentence, hanging the people of the queen, Zhao Kuangyi sent troops to Yanyun really to save the people of Yanyun? Do people appreciate it? If that's the case, the people of Youzhou City won't be so stubborn to resist. What kind of people are those soldiers, those people? If it is not a Khitan, ninety percent are real Han people!

But this utterly hypocritical sentence may become the mainstream of the Song Dynasty.

Song Jiu said again: "But Zhao Xianggong is right, the minister has some reputation, but the name is outside. The minister and the first emperor have spoken successively with His Majesty. The minister is not a good minister, but can only be said to be a loyal minister. Even I said it to the people. I was also greedy for pleasure, and when I went to Liaodong, I couldn't stop complaining in my heart, and I really wanted to go home, so some people's evaluation of me was false, and I never admitted that the people's evaluation was right. ”

Shen Yilun and Lu Duosun lowered their heads and were sullen, and Song Jiu was too good at self-depreciation.

So what else can be said?

Song Jiu's voice changed: "Although it is bitter to go to Liaodong, there is no helplessness, after all, there is no country and no home." If you don't take back Yanyun, the Saiwai Iron Cavalry can go south at any time, not to mention the descendants of Your Majesty, even my children and grandchildren will not be protected. This is a sacrifice on the ego, which fulfills the ego. During the war, the people of Liaodong were suffering, but I taught them to plant and establish a system, and our dynasty provided a lot of support. This can also be considered an additional subsidy. It's also the difference between the ego and the ego. And Zhao Gong, are you so selfless? are selfless to go to Liaodong's fanzi. ”

Zhao Kuangyi watched them-for-tat and said that he had a headache.

He said, "Go to the government hall." ”

Stop arguing, get down to business.

Now the ministers of the two ministries have changed a lot. Xue Juzheng died of illness, Wang Renzhen made Zhao Pu angry, and Chu Zhaofu naturally didn't need to say it. The phase is also dispensed with. It may not be long before Lu Shen and the others will also be removed from power.

Even if Zhao Kuangyi is the emperor. Zhao Pu's character should also be respected!

How could he sit idly by and watch these political enemies be located in the two provinces?

The East Mansion is Zhao Lu and Shen, as well as Guo Zhen and Dou Wei, two governors.

Xifu is Cao Bin. and Shi Xizai and Chai Yuxi, two privy deputies.

Guo Dou and Shichai are all heroes of Zhao Kuangyi's old domain, and it is not clear whether they have anything to do with Zhao Pu.

Zhao Kuangyi waited for everyone to sit down, thought about it, looked at Song Jiu and said, "Song Qing, you have been outside the Saiwai for nearly three years, and you have made great contributions to the country, so I will give you the position of privy envoy." ”

Compared to the East Mansion, the West Mansion is indeed too thin, with Cao Bin, what might Cao Bin be expected to do?

Moreover, as soon as Song Jiu came back, he and Zhao Pushi were in the same fire, if they were in the same Dongfu, if they did not come down for three days, the entire Dongfu would burn.

"Your Majesty," Song Jiu agreed without hesitation.

Xifu is good, although the real power is far less than that of Dongfu, but for Song Jiu, is there anything more important than the military at this time?

Among the two mansions, only Cao Bin started as a martial artist.

Song Jiu told Ji Lu what had happened again.

Cao Bin and the three were dumbfounded.

"No wonder ......," Cao Bin muttered.

Before the first battle of Gaoliang River, Song Jiu reminded him several times, and stabilized the army's heart in Zhuozhou, which was a great contribution to Sheji, but later he somehow got Dengzhou, what is Dengzhou, the seashore, and the sea to the north is Shamen Island!

Chai Yuxi also muttered: "Liaodong." ”

Chai Yuxi is the son of Chai Rong's uncle Chai Shouyi, when Zhao Kuangyi served as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, because he had a relationship with the Chai family, Chai Yuxi was transferred to the mansion to do things.

Zhao Kuangyi can use Chai Yuxi, but will not reuse Chai Rong's descendants, no other reason, although Chai Yuxi and Chai Rong have the same grandfather, but there is no righteousness, and can also get a good reputation for treating the Chai family well.

"Xuangui, when I discussed this matter with His Majesty in Zhuozhou, His Majesty didn't want me to go, but the Jurchens were scattered and sparsely populated, and the others either didn't have the ability to organize, or they had the ability but no qualifications to bear, so His Majesty let me go to Liaodong."

"Song Gong is righteous, and I respect it."

"If there is no majesty, then there are ministers today, from the past I am a wild boy who does not know the importance of His Majesty, and His majesty is guiding and helping the ministers, so that the ministers can grow up step by step. Even if the minister died for His Majesty, he couldn't repay him, and he only went to Liaodong to do a business trip. ”

Zhao Pu wanted to scold Song Jiu for being a courtier again, but he finally endured the words when he came to his lips.

Now is not the time, Song Jiu returned from Liaodong in a simple manner, if he went too far, he would not be satisfied.

So he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is worried about the country's economy. ”

"Just increase some troops, how much can it cost, at most a few bottles of golden melon seeds."

Lu Duoxun laughed again, this is an allusion to Qian Yu giving Zhao Pu a few bottles of golden melon seeds.

"And this is also about the face of His Majesty, His Majesty gave Cheng the foundation of the first emperor, so he conscripted Yanyun, and you also said that first the south and then the north, now the south is determined, and it is time to run the north. Could it be that Zhao Xianggong is sitting back and watching Yanyun as a Khitan invasion, and countless children of the Han family are oppressed by the Liao? Or you don't want to be a successful emperor, lay a cornerstone for future generations, and be a good example. ”

"Clever tongue. Deceives people's hearts, and the people of the world are mistaken by you. ”

"Zhao Gong. Is it my clever tongue, or do you have a monstrous wrist. Turning your hands into clouds, covering your hands for rain? Song Jiu sneered. Then he turned his head to look at Zhao Kuangyi and said: "Your Majesty, when you want to hear that Zhao Xianggong has been re-appointed as prime minister in Liaodong, what does the minister think?" It felt like the sun was rising in the west. ”

"Zhao Pu, Song Jiu, if you continue to do this, I will remove all of you and demote you from the court." Zhao Kuangyi finally shouted.

"Oh, Your Majesty. But Rong Chen said the last sentence, with the ability of Zhao Gong, if he is at ease to be the prime minister, the minister also agrees, whether it is Zhao Gong or Lu Gong, they all have this ability. But can you keep your word for it? If the minister really did something wrong, Zhao Gong took the opportunity to suppress the minister, and the minister had nothing to say. But the minister did nothing wrong, and he couldn't suppress the minister. All the proposals of the generals were vetoed. If that's the case, it's not a minister, but a cultivator! ”

"Song Jiu, you're getting more and more arrogant."

"Yes." Song Jiu obediently stopped talking.

But the words are open. Zhao Pu objected to it again in order to oppose it, and then he fell down.

Zhao Pu glanced at Song Jiu gloomily and did not speak.

After talking about the increase in troops, Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Henan Mansion has suffered a major drought recently. The people were hungry and in need, and many of them were thieves. What are your best plans? ”

Zhao Pudao: "Although there is a drought in Henan Province, it is not a drought in the whole country. The imperial court can send a good official to serve as Henan Mansion, and then transfer grain relief from Jiangnan, and Henan Mansion will set its own decision. ”

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Song Jiu, and Song Jiu said: "The minister is the privy envoy, and the ministers can't speak in this book and the position of the three divisions." ”

Zhao Kuangyi was about to be speechless.

But Song Jiu has been tempted several times, at least now Zhao Kuangyi is reluctant to make him an outcast.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Song Qing, you came back just in time, and the textile machinery you proposed to develop has an eyebrow." ”

The battle of Heiliaohe doubled Zhao Kuangyi's confidence.

A Jurchen will give the Khitan a headache, what will happen if there is another obstruction?

Although Liaodong is cold, it can still be cultivated, but it is the real desert, and the population is more sparse, and it is not like the so-called country of Usher and the country of Anding.

However, if the measures are taken properly, it will have some restrictive effects.

And Song Jiu has always been uneasy about the northwest, if this fur road is opened, as long as there is a slight rebellion on the side of the blockade, the country will pay attention to the northwest.

If there was no Western Xia, or after Li Jiqian's rebellion, he paid attention to it in time, strangled it in the rocking blue, and did not let the Western Xia reappear, not only would the imperial court not lack horses in the future, but also there would be no Western Xia to contain and concentrate on the north, and the Song Dynasty would not have had a crisis of Jin people going south.

In fact, to be honest, if you put aside the shortcomings of martial arts, on internal governance, starting from Chai Rong and ending with Zhao Da and Zhao Er, the internal governance of the Northern Song Dynasty is also rare in Chinese history.

However, thinking of Li Jiqian, Song Jiu couldn't help but think of two other people, one is Li Zicheng, the other is Taizu, Li Jiqian is almost a combination of these two, whether it is Taizu's guerrilla tactics or Li Zicheng's shameless fake surrender tactics, Li Jiqian will give full play to it.

He may not be as brave as Jereux or as cunning as Jerod, but he combines the best of the two well. This gave Song Jiu a headache.

But when I came to Xifu, it should still be too late.

Zhao Kuangyi continued: "It's just right, let's go to the academy together to have a look. ”

The group came to River Island.

Now Hezhou has become the top prosperous place in the Song Dynasty, and also brought a lot of income and talents to the imperial court, so Zhao Kuangyi opened another city gate at the Nanbian water, named Nanshui Gate, so that the goods can be transported directly to the storage area to disperse the flow of people.

The group looked at the students first.

Today, Song Jiu's imprint is already very light, and this new education method has cultivated many practical students, some of whom are quite outstanding, even Zhao Kuangyi has to use them.

So Zhao Kuangyi occasionally came to the academy and changed the students of the academy from the children of the Song family to the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven.

However, the students were still very happy to see Song Jiu return to the capital, maybe they had no direct contact with Song Jiu, but when Zhao Pu came to power, many people were also worried that Zhao Pu hated the house and Wudi retaliated, and they all thought that Song Jiu really let Zhao Kuangyi be demoted to Dengzhou. Now that I have returned to the capital, it turned out to be a political governor, at least a position of political governor.

Zhao Kuangyi said a few words and came to Henan again.

Not in the laboratory, but in the embroidery workshop in Henan.

Song Jiu looked at it, there was a shuttle, this shuttle made a spring, as Song Jiu suggested, it made the weaving cloth wider and more efficient. There are also knitting weft knitting machines, knitting warp knitting machines, and several other sets of machinery.

It took a lot of money and eight or nine years to develop these machines last year.

However, everyone didn't understand it, and I didn't know if it could be promoted, so Zhao Kuangyi passed on a message to let the students and weavers continue to improve.

Song Jiu said, "You guys make a show." ”

The main thing is whether cotton cloth can be spun and animal hair, as well as blending.

The weavers began to operate, and the efficiency was generally good, but whether it could catch up with the textile technology of the European Industrial Revolution after the eighteenth century, Song Jiu was not very clear.

Song Jiu said: "Okay." ”

It doesn't matter if you can catch up or not, as long as you can spin cotton and wool.

Its appearance, the Song Dynasty can appear woolen sweaters.

However, another aspect made Song Jiu a little disappointed, and the artillery has not made much progress so far.

However, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Song Jiu was not in the mood, he went back and forth to Liaodong for more than two years and nine months, and actually left home for a longer time, since the spring of the year before the big big with the army Northern Expedition to Taiyuan left home, this difference is almost more than three years.

Therefore, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister must go back first." ”

Zhao Kuangyi suddenly had a strange smile on his face. (To be continued......)
