Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.

Not much, as long as it is postponed for another ten years, Li Jiqian will be full of wings and grow up, even Song Jiu will not have much to do with Li Jiqian.

Is it worth it?

If you compare it with history, it's simply worth it.

Qingli years fought for three or four years, seriously, the scale of the war was not large, at that time Zhao Zhen was the emperor, the officials and the government were healthy, the finances were healthier, the result was three or four years down, the treasury was empty, in order to support the front war, the levy was harsh, and there were many uprisings across the country. In those years alone, the state spent more than 200 million yuan on the northwest.

Or in other words, if there is no Western Xia, with Zhao Zhen's benevolence, what will the Song Dynasty become, and if there is no Western Xia's containment, with the development of the Song Dynasty, what will the Song Dynasty become?

Now let Song Jiu nip this threat in the bud in time.

But who knows the way?

On the contrary, many complained.

There is another person, Li Xin in history, who accurately predicted the trend of Western Xia, and even the future actions of Liu E, Kou Zhun, Wang Dan, Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo and others. After his death, including Song Zhenzong, they all thought that he was a saint, but I was not, and took Li Xin as the target of admiration. But who believed it when he was alive?

Compared with Li Xin, Song Jiu was much luckier.

At least he achieved his goal, regardless of the process.

It's not that there is nothing to do in the northwest, the Tubo people west of Qin and Wei, the Uighurs in Ganliang, and the Qiang people in Mintao, the court is still helpless against them.

But they won't be very harmful, and if the sand is scattered, can they still become towers?

There are also many party members in the northwest who are still not convinced, but the integration of the Tibetan and Han relatives and the settlement of captivity. The chain of interests brought by the wool trade road and the green salt road, many forts began to garrison troops to guard various key checkpoints. The demarcation of land boundaries and the division of official positions brought about by the reduction of the whole into zero, even though it is harmful. It's not serious. Moreover, Li Jisheng was recalled, and many Tuoba disciples were killed one after another in this conquest battle, or escorted back to the capital, or transferred to other places, without the appeal of the Tuoba family's children, who could gather all the ethnic groups in this vendetta area?

Even the territory of the imperial court has invisibly reached the Beihetao, reached the Xiyin Mountain, and even connected with the Xishan boundary of the Liao State.

So Song Jiu felt that it was worth it.

In the midst of an impeachment. Song Jiu did one more thing, and asked his eldest son to take advantage of the northwest wind and go down to the South Seas with the ship to train.

Zhao Kuangyi curiously called Song Jiu to the palace to ask.

In order to attack Song Jiu, Song Qi collected the money, silk, grain, grass, weapons, casualties, and weight gain of the people of Shaanxi after the outbreak of the Northwest War. Criticize the mistakes of Song Jiu's policy.

In addition, the three-five system will continue to use money in the future.

The compensation for the casualties of soldiers and the rewards for meritorious soldiers also cost money.

The resettlement of the captive people of various ethnic groups is more in need of money.

The expansion of the sales scope of green and white salt has reduced the salt profit of understanding salt.

In a word. Labor hurts money, and the heavens are angry and people are resentful.

Song Jiu was silent again after the end of the war. But he entered the palace and told Zhao Kuangyi about its significance. For the time being, the money was spent, but the Northwest was done once and for all. Soldiers were killed or wounded. But tens of thousands of soldiers have been trained in actual combat. The country can't rely on one person as the prime minister, Zhao Pu is old. Among the other veteran ministers, the ability and ability of Zhao Pu have not yet been seen, and Zhang Qixian went to the northwest to hone for a few years, and at least he will become a qualified prime minister of the Western Province. There are very few people who are born with talents, just like Song Jiu himself, if he doesn't go south to Lingnan and north to Liaodong, what talent will he have?

Disperse the phase power, Zhao Kuangyi likes it.

Zhang Qixian, Zhao Kuangyi likes it.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi has been silent.

However, Song Jiu also knew that Zhao Kuangyi also thought that the price he spent was too great.

"Song Qing, did you really let your eldest son go to the South China Sea?"

"Well, there is a folk proverb that they are not rich for three generations, and the main thing is that they have not suffered hardships, and if they do not endure hardships, it is difficult to become masters. Besides, there are so many risks associated with the rumors? ”

"No more than three generations of ...... rich"

In fact, it is not only a disadvantage of the wealthy gentry, but also a disadvantage of the country. A dynasty is generally good for the first and second generations, of course, Emperor Jin Hui's baby egg can't be counted. But it will get worse and worse in the future.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "How dangerous is the sea? ”

"It's not as dangerous as you think, but it's a little dangerous. If you are afraid of this danger, how will you do it in the future? ”

"If you let the prince go down and take a look......

"Your Majesty, don't you want to be happy," Song Jiu said with a smile. Finally understood Zhao Kuangyi's intentions, Zhao Yuanzuo became more and more disobedient, Zhao Kuangyi saw that he sent his son to the south to sharpen, and he also moved his mind to let Zhao Yuanzuo endure hardships, one is to grind, and the other is to make him suffer, and he will naturally be honest when he comes back.

But wouldn't that kill Song Jiu.

Originally, the mess in the northwest made many ministers impeach, and then sent the prince to the South Seas, waiting for the spit to drown.

Song Jiu said again: "If Your Majesty wants to cultivate the prince, Kaifeng Mansion Yin is the best choice, right now, you can encourage you to do it right, and you can correct it if you do it wrong." Then this valuable experience in the future has laid a good foundation. ”

Zhao Kuangyi hesitated.

It's okay to go south to Nanyang, but Zhao Yuanzuo can be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he is a little worried.

However, a few days after the two talked, something happened.

If Zhao Tingmei wanted to rebel, there would be no such thing. Where does Guan Jian and Zhao Tingmei want to rebel?

Therefore, he is usually not bad to this eldest nephew. Zhao Kuangyi dealt with Zhao Tingmei, Zhao Yuanzuo interceded for the third uncle, but Zhao Kuangyi did not listen. Later, Zhao Yuanzuo had a neurotic attack in the palace.

Especially when Zhao Tingmei died in the front, his father not only did not regret it, but wanted to seal the Zen, and Zhao Yuanzuo made even more trouble.

It wasn't until the end of last year that Zhao Tingmei was also dead for a long time, and Feng Chan made the fire unsealed before Zhao Yuanzuo returned to normal.

If Zhao Yuanzuo is really crazy, Zhao Kuangyi will definitely not let a madman be the successor of the emperor, and he has so many sons. Seeing Zhao Yuanzuo return to normal, he was overjoyed and lowered his virtue, which is a small pardon for the world, and the criminal is not exempt from the crime, but the crime is reduced by one degree.

If it continues to develop and time dilutes everything, then Zhao Yuanzuo has no doubts. Eventually, he became the first person in the Song Dynasty.

But no.

Zhao Yuanzuo wants to overturn the case for Zhao Tingmei, what do the two prime ministers think?

And he also has a younger brother......

Barking dogs do not bite. Biting dogs don't bark.

Zhao Kuangyin once commented on Zhao Kuangyi's junior, this son is like me. Zhao Kuangyi commented on his son. The firstborn is like me.

Zhao Yuanyou was caught in the middle and was sad.

So he became more and more silent.

But who is like Zhao Kuangyi? Actually, it's him!

Zhao Kuangyi ordered the kings to feast on the palace, because Zhao Yuanzuo was sick and had not yet cleared up, so he did not call Zhao Yuanzuo to come.

It would have been a normal father-son reunion, but someone or someone saw an opportunity.

After the palace banquet, Zhao Yuanyou, the king of Chen, took a few younger brothers and did not return to the palace, but ran to Zhao Yuanzuo's mansion.

I don't know what Zhao Yuanyou said to Zhao Yuanzuo, Zhao Yuanzuo suddenly said: "You and the Supreme have a banquet, and I was not invited." It was my father who wanted to abandon me. ”

This time he really went crazy, locked his concubines in the palace together, and then began to burn the palace. By the next day, the fire had not been extinguished.

If you look at the surface, Zhao Yuanzuo made too much trouble this time, but why is he burning the palace, and the servants don't stop it? Why has it not been extinguished by the next day? What did Zhao Yuanyou say that could make Zhao Yuanzuo so exciting?

It happened so suddenly, and Song Jiu was not prepared at all.

Zhao Kuangyi was furious. Even if it's noisy, you have to have a score. sent someone to bring Zhao Yuanzuo to Zhongshu, Song Qi and Li Fang to observe, and sent Yushi to interrogate.

Song and Li had the heart to maintain it, knocking on the side. Things could be the other way. But is it possible?

At this time, if Zhao Yuanzuo is not trampled to death, will he sit back and watch Zhao Yuanzuo gain power in the future to retaliate? Besides, Zhao Kuangyi's arrow wound is in attack from time to time.

I don't know how Lu Dao asked, Zhao Yuanzuo actually confessed and was lenient. Enough is enough. Song Qi gave Zhao Yuanzuo's confession to Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi asked Wang Renrui, the housekeeper of the Great Interior, to bring him a message: "You are a prince, and you are extremely rich. What a ferocity! The national constitution, I dare not be private. The love between father and son is absolutely here! ”

When the goal is achieved, you have to get rid of it immediately.

Zhao Yuanyou took the two prime ministers of Zhongshu, as well as some ministers, to Zhao Kuangyi to cry and rescue.

Zhao Kuangyi said with tears: "Every time I read, I see the previous emperor's descendants who did not lead the teaching, I do not feel resentful, some time ago, I also discussed with Song Jiu how to educate children, but I didn't expect my family to have this matter." I am a sect and a social plan, and I will never give up. ”

So he made a book, abolished Zhao Yuanzuo as a concubine, and resettled in Junzhou.

The minister persuaded again, and Zhao Kuangyi said: "Recently, the internal and external stability has been comfortable, and Yuan Zuo set fire to it, which is really scratching. ”

Song Qi said: "Yao Shun has Dan Zhu Shangjun, this is not enough to tire the saints, if Yuan Zuo has no heart disease, it should not be, I hope His Majesty will be released." ”

It's obviously a plea, but it's actually fatal.

Zhao Yuanzuo has a heart disease, can he be a good emperor? So in order to open the way for Xiao Zhao Er, it is even more necessary to send Zhao Yuanzuo away.

But it didn't take long for Song Qi to think of one thing, Zhao Kuangyi is a top master of power and strategy, can he hide it for a while, and can he hide it for a lifetime? Coupled with Zhao Kuangyi's anger, he immediately took Zhao Yuanyou as the governor of Kaifeng, and the storage position was gradually determined, and he once again led hundreds of officials to intercede for Zhao Yuanzuo.

After all, it was a son, so Zhao Kuangyi asked the envoy to recall it, at this time Zhao Yuanzuo had not yet arrived in Junzhou, just arrived at Huangshan (not the Yellow Mountain in Anhui, but a small mountain range in northern Hubei), and was recalled back to Beijing, placed in Nangong, sent an envoy to supervise, and was not allowed to communicate with the outside world.

But the civil and military officials are not fools, and they immediately perceived the role that Song Qi played in this crown prince replacement case.

It's amazing, it's like turning your hands into clouds and turning your hands into rain.

So some people began to approach Song Qi.

Even including Chai Yuxi in Xifu.

But he didn't know how to show favor to Song Qi, so he happened to go home from duty and saw Zhao Pu's house.

After Zhao Pu left the capital, his mansion has been empty, although Zhao Pu spent a lot of money to decorate it, but it stands to reason that it is an official residence, if Zhao Pu continues to be an official, it is not easy to deal with, but now Zhao Pu is tantamount to returning to his hometown, so the court wants to take it back.

So he proposed to ask the imperial court to give Zhao Pu's house to Song Qi.

He is from Xifu, and after hearing this, everyone can't help but look at Song Jiu together...... (To be continued......)
