"As a king, you can not be unintelligent, but you cannot be without self-confidence!" Zhao Pu sighed and said, "Pinning your self-confidence on auspicious rui is the way to die!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Pu threw Xiangrui's recital aside and ignored it again.

He has a lot to deal with and has no leisure to bother with flashy things.

The Battle of the Northern Expedition, which lasted for a year and a half, finally achieved a decisive victory. This victory, like timely rain, eliminated all kinds of negative influences, and the originally shaky Song Dynasty became more consolidated.

Zhao Pu was a little happy, but more happy.

When the soldiers and horses move, there are ten thousand taels of gold!

There is no more expensive business in the world than war. As soon as the war began, first of all, grain, grass, equipment, military supplies, etc., money and money were like flowing water, and they could not stop it. In the past year and a half, the Song Dynasty has spent 50 million yuan, and there are still many places in debt. Fortunately, the court owed a debt, and no one dared to ask for it, so it was owed.

The imperial court had already run a deficit in its finances, so it had no choice but to issue treasury bonds again; And the people are also full of complaints, accusing the Northern Expedition and accusing the army of being reckless; and the rebellion of the displaced people, which had been silent, also reared their heads; And in the imperial court, the peace faction rose again.

For a moment, Zhao Pu had a feeling that he was the enemy of the whole world, he didn't have a friend, there were enemies everywhere, and there were accusations everywhere.

At this time, a series of problems also appeared in the reform of the law, and party disputes arose.

The storm is coming, like a typhoon about to come, destroying everything.

Zhao Pu was extremely nervous. The Praetorian Guard imposed martial law in order to prevent the rebellion from recurring. At this time, the elite troops are on the front line, if someone plays a coup d'état. It's really dangerous; If the rebellion of the displaced people rises again, and it is manipulated by conspirators, causing great turmoil, it is really powerless to send troops to suppress it!

In the uneasiness, Zhao Pu gritted his teeth and persevered.

Finally, the voice of victory on the front line was ushered in.

Immediate time, all kinds of rumors. All kinds of discontents, all kinds of quarrels, all kinds of cows, ghosts, gods and snakes. They all died down, and they no longer dared to make waves, and they were as well-behaved as a baby!

Zhao Pucai breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's just that this doesn't mean that everything is fine, and there are still a lot of troubles. Needs to be dealt with!

A decisive victory was achieved at the front. However, it will take time to recover the lost territory and annihilate the remnants of the Jin army; The wounded and dead soldiers on the front line need to be compensated, which is again an astronomical amount; Send officials to receive, manage lost land, pacify the people, deliver relief supplies, and so on.

Multitude. A lot to do!

Da Song Zhongxing is just the first step. There's a long journey ahead!

…………

At this time, Zhang Jun walked into Wan Qian's mansion.

Since the Battle of Fuping, Zhang Jun has been treated coldly, and he has not been demoted, but has been completely transferred to a civilian position, separated from martial affairs. In fact, this is not an isolated case, many civil servants have been squeezed out of military affairs, or arranged in the cold yamen, or in the logistics department, or in the clerical class, among the front-line leading generals, there are very few shadows of literati.

In fact, it cannot be said that there are no literati.

It's just that many literati betrayed the way of Confucius and Mencius and completely devoted themselves to martial arts. Most of them held military positions, and there were no more civilian positions; In ordinary banquets, their shadows rarely appear, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion and collusion between civil and military, and no emperor feels at ease.

These literati have transformed very powerfully, and they have completely become martial artists.

Watching the fierce battle on the front line, Zhang Jun's heart was itching, and he wanted to ask for battle many times and go to the front line, but the structure was rejected by the emperor. The emperor always said that the civil and military are not martial, the military is not civil, the civil and military are separated, and the world is under great rule. This made Zhang Jun's heart full of regrets.

Until this time, the victory of the Northern Expedition was a foregone conclusion!

"Now, the victory of the Northern Expedition is in hand, the power of the warriors is expanding greatly, and we and other literati have no place to stand!" Drinking tea, Zhang Jun said what he meant.

"To fight a war, you naturally need military generals. We are literati, we don't know soldiers, and we just make jokes on the battlefield! Wan Qian said with a smile, "The emperor attaches great importance to the warriors, and the warriors have lived up to expectations, and the front line has won victory after victory." Even the Jurchens, who are like tigers and wolves, have lost battles one after another, and they have almost been destroyed! ”

"So what? If the martial forces are not suppressed, the disaster of the martial arts will inevitably be staged again, the feudal towns will be divided, and the world will be in chaos soon! Zhang Jun said indignantly.

Wan Qiqi smiled and said, "The Jurchens have only been crippled, and they have not been completely destroyed, how can the emperor attack the martial artists." The emperor relies on martial artists a lot, so I'll put up with it! ”

"There is a great disaster in the country, how can we turn a blind eye!" Zhang Jun said.

"What do you think of that Chinese book?" Wan asked.

"To eliminate the scourge of the warriors, start with the beating, and then cut off the power of the warriors! Taizu has a glass of wine to release the military power, and he wants to come to the emperor to release the military power with a glass of wine! Zhang Jun said, "And I am willing to be a villain!" ”

"So what?"

"Wang Yan, as the commander of the Middle Route Army, has many misconducts. The city of the Daimyo's Mansion was broken, even if the soldiers burned and looted, causing the disaster of slaughtering the city, the corpses and bones were everywhere, and there was not one out of ten people, how could we not impeach this beastly act; Wang Yan rushed forward in panic and was ambushed by the Golden Vulture Technique, causing the 5,000 cavalry to be annihilated......"

Then Zhang Jun said again and again, the guilt of the martial arts.

The seemingly victorious Northern Expedition actually lost a lot of battles; It seems that Wei Guangzheng's reconquest of lost territory has also seen a lot of bad things.

Where there is light, there must be shadow!

The world is focused on the victory of the Northern Expedition, but they ignore the problems that arose in the Northern Expedition.

Zhang Jun was a literati, a rare person among the literati who knew the soldiers, and he keenly discovered the problems existing in the Northern Expedition. And these problems are just the means to attack the generals, and those generals who may not be able to move to the front line in one fell swoop will leave a thorn in the emperor's heart!

"This is not good!" Wan Qian looked at the fold, his face was a little pale.

"You don't understand the emperor!" Zhang Jun said, "Your Majesty, you pay the most attention to the facts. As long as it is true, even if it is not good, the emperor will pay attention to it. All of this is true to me, without a hint of fabrication, without a hint of false exaggeration, so why not! ”

"Is it really going to go any way?" Wan asked.

"That's the only way!"

Zhang Jun said.

…………

The next day, it was the time of the previous dynasty again.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Pu's mood was unprecedentedly good. In the past, when he was an emperor, he mostly relied on blood, surname, and the authority of the emperor. And being the emperor at this moment is relying on his ability and the prestige brought by the victory of the Northern Expedition.

At this time, the Song Dynasty was still ruled by scholars and kings, but Zhao Pu's power was unprecedentedly expanded, and he became autocratic or dictatorial. Don't be like in the past, suffer from the anger of the courtiers, fight with the courtiers, and fight wits and courage!

"If you have something to do, you can play early, and you have nothing to retreat!"

The eunuch's singing sounded.

"Wechen has something to play!" At this time, Zhang Jun opened his mouth and walked out of the train.

"I don't know what?"

"Weichen impeached, Wang Yan, deputy marshal of the Middle Route Army, even though the soldiers were lawless, ransacked the Daimyo's mansion, and concealed the ...... defeat" said, Zhang Jun said, and talked in detail about Wang Yan's "eight major crimes".

Zhao Pu listened, and unconsciously frowned, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. I just ended the external fighting, but I didn't expect the internal fighting to start again, and it was really a never-ending day.

"This is an excerpt of impeachment!"

Zhang Jun presented the impeachment fold.

Zhao Pu took the excerpt and looked through it, the content described on the excerpt was mostly true, without a trace of bias, nor a trace of expansion, and could not find a trace of excuse to refute, some of which corresponded to Wang Yan's excerpt.

The Daimyo's Mansion did indeed massacre the city!

Some generals do have illegal acts!

Zhang Jun's impeachment is very reasonable, and from the perspective of ethics and morality, it really needs to be punished.

It's just from the perspective of war, but it is very unreasonable. War, in itself, is sinful, and it tramples on ethics and morality. On the battlefield, pay attention to ethics and morality, which is the material for finding death. For these reasons, punishing the generals will chill the hearts of the generals; But if it is not punished, it is difficult to convince the public.

"Qing family, how do you think it should be punished?" Zhao Pu said.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the Son of Heaven was unkind and did not protect the four seas; The princes are not benevolent, and they do not protect the society; Doctor Qing is not benevolent, and does not protect the temple; Shishu people are not benevolent, do not protect the four bodies, people do not do anything, and then they can do something! ”

"I rule the world with benevolence, and now General Wang Yan is at fault, please discuss the guilt!"

Zhang Jun said.

"Then let the Judge Advocate General's Department go and investigate!" Zhao Pu said.

"No!" Zhang Jun said, "Please the Criminal Department and the Military Justice Department to coordinate governance!" ”

"Without evidence, there is no voice. General Wang is the commander of the First Army, not a prisoner, so don't forget it! Zhao Pu said, his voice was a little cold, and he changed the topic and said, "The north, just calmed down, has thousands of heads, and needs to be sorted out." I should go to Kaifeng to calm the people's hearts! (To be continued......)
