Wanyan Sticky Han stood on a big stone, and after a while, Wanyan set up a horse to repay a man wearing a python robe: "The emperor of the Southern Dynasty didn't catch it, but he captured a vassal king." ”

Sticky Han looked down, and the people on the ground were covered in blood and laughed at him. Sticky Han said: "How can such a person be a vassal king." ”

"Grandpa is mentioning Zhang Yong, and the emperor and King Kang have long since left."

Wanyan Sticky Han waved his hand: "Pull this guy down and cut it down." After Zhang Yong was dragged away, Mu Han said: "It's a pity, we didn't catch the emperor of the Southern Dynasty this time, we quickly went south, solved Wang Yan and Chen Cui, and returned to the north, there is not enough food and grass." ”

"That little emperor, it's really a good fate."

Under the protection of Yang Yizhong and Yue Fei, Zhao Chen traveled south in a hurry, and finally arrived in Jiangning safely at the end of July. Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Yu escorted the family members of the hundred officials, and had arrived a few days early, Jiang Ning was ready to take over, and Zhao Chen checked in directly after he arrived.

After another period of time, the generals scattered in the Battle of Shouzhou arrived in Yangzhou in a scattered manner. Han Shizhong and the Xin brothers only collected a few hundred people along the road, while Zhang Jun and Qi Fang kept three or four thousand. Wang Yan and Chen Cui saw the opportunity quickly, and broke through before the arrival of Wanyan Stickyhan's main force, saving 8,000 main forces.

And Liu Guangshi, who did not appear in this battle and was unscathed, brought the 30,000 people under his command to Hezhou neatly.

"Why didn't Liu Guangshi come to Yangzhou to meet the saint?" In front of the civil and military ministers who arrived in Qi, Zhao Chen had restored the dignity of the emperor.

"The ministers impeached Liu Guangshi and escaped from the battle, causing the friendly army to fall." Xu Han stood up first, "Liu Guangshi is arrogant and doesn't fight, he can't be a general, please stop." He should take away his soldiers, horses, official positions, and honors, and award the deputy envoy of the Jizhou regiment to set an example. ”

Zhao Chen turned his gaze to Dazai Li Gang: "What does Xianggong think?" ”

Li Gang is a direct minister, but he is not unaware of the priorities, he said: "Liu Guangshi will be the son of the family. will lead more soldiers out of his door, if there is no reason, I am afraid of people's hearts. His Majesty has just arrived in Jiangdong, and he still needs to calm down. ”

"Then in the eyes of the prime minister, what should be done?"

"Seize its envoy and sentence Huainan West Road to pacify the matter, and be the gateway to Jiankang." It tore up the biggest item on Liu Guangshi's salary slip, but promoted Liu Guangshi's authority and let him keep Huaixi.

"What Xiang Gong said, it must be not bad, please write in the book."

Wang Yujin said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other troops have suffered heavy losses, and they should reorganize the army in Yangzhou and Jiangning. ”

Zhao Chen sat stunned for a while and sighed: "It's a pity that Longwu and Longwei are two armies. When the generals Zhang, Han, Yue, Wang and others are subordinate to the Longwu Army, what are the regulations of the palace marshal? ”

Wang Yu said: "The minister thinks that with Yue, Wang Yuan, Wang Yan, and Chen Cui's department, they are organized into the four armies of the left and right before and after Longwu, and Zhang Jun, Qi Fang, Xin Qizong, and Han Shizhong are the four armies of Longwei, and each of the eight people receives a military number, with a limit of 10,000 people, and recruits troops in Yangzhou. ”

"This discussion is very good, Huang Shumi has just recovered, and he is free at hand, and he should be in charge of the reorganization of eight military horses."

Huang Qianshan took a step forward: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Xu Han said coldly on the side: "Before the decree was drafted, Huang Zhi also agreed too anxiously. ”

Li Gang coughed, Xu Han understood, and stopped talking. Zhao Chen is young, his mind has not yet been completed, as an emperor, leading the army to defeat, and now is really a sensitive and fragile time. Li Gang had already discussed with the newly arrived ministers that he should bear with it during this time, and don't accuse the emperor of his mistakes, so as not to force the emperor to be anxious.

Therefore, as soon as Li Gang reminded him, Xu Han was silent.

Although the important ministers did not mention that the defeat of Shouzhou was the responsibility of the emperor, Xu Han's ridicule of Huang Qianshan just now still touched Zhao Chen's sensitive nerves, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Huang Qingjia, I believe in your ability, and entrust the newly built Eighth Army to you. ”

"The guilty minister is smeared with liver and brain, in order to repay His Majesty's kindness."

The monarch and the ministers sympathized with each other, and saw that Zhao Chen's emotions slowly eased up, and Cheng Li in the imperial history gave a look back, and a small imperial history stood up: "The minister impeached Du Chong, the direct scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion, and the unfavorable command of the army, resulting in the defeat of Shouzhou, and his crime should be beheaded." ”

Du Chong, since Zhao Chen's ascension to the palace, he has been standing in his position, looking at his nose and nose, his nose and his heart, without making a sound and motionless. His sin is too big, he lost his name, abandoned Xiangzhou, and broke the Yellow River, Zhao Chen saved him for the previous sins, and this time he almost folded the car into it, how could Zhao Chen protect him?

Not only did Li Gang, Xu Han and others want to impeach him, but even Yangzhou prefect Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and other "old people in Hebei" feel that if they don't kill Du Chong, they will pull themselves into the water.

Du Chong knelt down and confessed: "The minister's luck is not good, and he has suffered repeated defeats." But the minister is loyal to His Majesty......"

"Du Qing invited, digging the river and the battle of Shouzhou are all my decisions, if you want to talk about sins, naturally I will come first." Zhao Chen said, stood up and stepped down from the throne, and saluted facing the east, "I am guilty of my own edict at the moment, in order to comfort the heroic souls of the Battle of Shouzhou." ”

Zhao Chen took the responsibility for Du Chong again. And the emperor wants to issue an edict for himself, what else can the ministers fight for. Zhu Shengfei, a member of the Zhongshu House, drafted several edicts in the hall and handed them over to the provincial bookstore.

After the ministers retired, Xu Han found Li Gang and said hatefully: "It's really hateful, Du Gongmei has repeatedly mistaken state affairs, and His Majesty actually took responsibility for him." ”

Li Gang comforted him and said: "Your Majesty Chong Ling Jian Zuo, you can calmly admit your mistakes, this Shengde is also, and the Great Song Dynasty is promising." ”

The two of them didn't know that in another time and space, Du Chong's behavior was even worse, directly breaking the Yellow River, abandoning Kaifeng, and then becoming a young ruler after arriving in Jiangning, with a higher official position than this time and space.

Zhao Chen returned to the back hall and said, "Please ask Uncle Nine to come." ”

After Zhao Gou broke off for Zhao Chen in Bagong Mountain, in Zhao Chen's heart, he felt that this imperial uncle had become trustworthy. The title of Zhao Gou has also changed from the official "imperial uncle" to the affectionate "ninth uncle".

"Du Gongmei and Huang Qianshan will definitely be able to understand Your Majesty's hard work and do their best to repay Your Majesty."

"Alas," Zhao Chen's eyes turned red again, "In the past half a month, I have been dreaming of the battle scene of Bagong Mountain, my eldest Song Erlang, I will never lose to Suo Lu one-on-one, but I am too confused, I fell into Suo Lu's strategy, was surrounded by Suo Lu, and lost tens of thousands of people." Every time I think about it, I can only feel better if I torture myself. ”

"Your Majesty take care of the dragon body, don't blame yourself too much, Your Majesty is so considerate of the soldiers, you will definitely be able to follow Gou Jian and make a comeback."

"Yes, I want to lie down and taste the guts, a few days ago, Wang Boyan wanted to practice the palace for me, I thought it was inappropriate, just take the Jiangnan East Road Transit Division as the guide."

Zhao Gou praised and quit. He handed over a post to his family and asked him to send it to Han Xiaoxuan and invite Han Xiaoxuan to the banquet.

Han Xiaoxuan is now serving as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, this is his Jilu official, that is, the salary slip, he is not sent at present, and he is idle.

Since the second time the Jin soldiers went south, the Han family in Xiangzhou secretly sold their fields and gradually moved south. Now the Han family has become a big landlord in Yangzhou, and the fields in the south of the Yangtze River are cheaper than those in the north anyway.

"I heard that Yue Pengju is a tenant under Situ's sect?" When the wine was hot, Zhao Gou asked.

"Huh?" Han Xiaoxuan thought about the consequences and replied, "It's just a farmer, I don't have much contact with him, but I heard that he studied in the Han family's village school for a few days. "This position can be advanced or retreated, he himself has nothing to do with Yue Fei, but if Yue Fei has any achievements, it is naturally Hanjiacun's good teaching.

"Yue Pengju martial arts are superb, loyal to the liver and courageous, but unfortunately he is just a tenant farmer and martial artist, it is difficult to have a future in this dynasty, the lonely king wants to invite a teacher for Yue Pengju to teach him Confucian scriptures, what can Situ teach Gu?"

Hire a teacher for Takeo? It's a strange move. However, Han Xiaoxuan understood the reason why Zhao Gou asked him to contact him in the middle: Zhao Gou was a clan, and Yue Fei was a military minister, if the two of them walked closely, it would be too taboo. But you can't jump into it knowing it's a fire pit.

"Teach the warriors? It is up to the Prime Minister to do this. Han Xiaoxuan shirked the matter.

Zhao Gou understood, turned his mouth and didn't talk about the matter, and persuaded Han Xiaoxuan to drink.

The next day, Huang Qianshan played, feasted Confucianism, and explained "Mencius" and "Spring and Autumn" to the eight masters of Longwu and Longwei, first, to teach them the way of loyalty and righteousness, and second, to let them learn the classics, thinking that they were the next step.

When Li Gang saw this letter, he exclaimed: "This good governance is also, the country and the dynasty employ people, the first heavy Wen Jinshi, these military ministers are the pillars of the country, can there be a flexibility, after they learn the Confucian classics, they can obtain the same qualifications as Jinshi." ”

Sun Fu hesitated on the side: "It's the same as Wen Jinshi, it's not appropriate to do this." ”

"At least it's the same Jinshi, the dynasty is going to use military ministers, don't be stubborn."

"Then when selecting officials, how about treating Wu Jinshi as if he was from the same Jinshi?"

"He Xianggong is discussing great goodness."

This kind of reform of the election naturally involves all aspects, and it is not something that can be done in the next article after a few public agreements have been agreed. Now I can only find a gentleman for a few generals and teach them, and find someone to write a charter and pay for the division to discuss.

Teaching and writing charters are complicated things, and the ministers are very busy with their hands, so they handed over these two trivial matters to Han Xiaoxuan, who is currently an idle servant.

Things came full circle, and they returned to Han Xiaoxuan. This mission was ordered by the emperor, so Han Xiaoxuan had no psychological burden and began to explain the study of saints to the generals.

"Mencius said: The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light."

Since the time of Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi's Wang Xue has been dominant for the next sixty or seventy years. Wang Anshi once said, "Confucius and Mencius are like the sun and the moon, and the snake is in the sky." The light shines, and everything becomes winter and spring. Changing the practice of the previous generation of exclusive respect for Confucius, Confucius and Mencius began to say that Mencius was promoted to the status of a sub-sage.

But today, Han Xiaoxuan took Mencius out and said that it was not because Wang learned the new law, but because of the entrustment of King Kang Zhao Gou.
