Chapter 7007: Monarchs and Ministers Have Their Own Thoughts
As early as the time of Hal and Lin, Yang Jing saw Yale Talon and others, but he never saw Kublai Khan, that is, Meng Ge and Guiyou fought in full swing, as an important member of the Tuo Lei family, Kublai Khan rarely came out.
At that time, Yang Jing felt that it was a little unusual, but unfortunately there was a shortage of manpower and could not conduct an in-depth investigation, and Yang Jing did not pay too much attention to it.
I didn't expect to come back to the south and hear such shocking news!
Kublai Khan is more profound and insidious than his brothers, and his ambitions are greater, but he knows how to forbear, and the more the ambition in his heart swells, the more cautious he becomes, such a person is the one who does great things!
He quietly captured Dali, and supported the Dali Duan clan, for the sake of the Duan clan, they could send their daughter to the Southern Song Dynasty to seek the support of the Southern Song Dynasty emperor, and compared to the Southern Song court, the Mongols and Kublai Khan were more powerful!
Although Dali has undergone the baptism of war, the rebel Gao Taixiang, who is unwilling to surrender, most of the elite of the clan died, and the Duan clan took the opportunity to carry out a bloody purge, and the Gao regime was wiped out, but the Duan clan was enshrined in Mongolia and became the actual administrator of Dali, why not do it?
As for Duan Chuhe, she was originally a chess piece and a woman, and now she is pregnant with a dragon seed, no matter how much Zhao Yun hates Duan's rebellion, she will not embarrass her.
The Gao family has an extremely deep mass base in Dali, even if the Duan family is back in charge, the Yang family also takes the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, but the people don't buy it.
A Xiangguo Gao Taixiang who swore to defend his homeland and guard the people, and Duan Xingzhi, a puppet king who betrayed the country, which one the people respect in their hearts, it is needless to say.
Therefore, when the Duan clan mobilized and gathered the whole country to invade the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, the soldiers and the people were actually very resistant in their hearts, and they could not contribute to the action.
Who is willing to spill blood for trampling on their homeland and destroying the enemies of their lives?
Although the Duan family adopted a high-pressure and iron-blooded suppression technique, but unfortunately the effect was not great, the people of Dali still remember the peerless legend of Yang Jing and Liu Hanchao in Longshou Pass, and the southwest implemented various new policies, including trial planting and promotion of sweet potatoes, resettlement of Yelang people, etc.
After Yang Jingting sentenced Juzhou, he resolutely implemented the policies of Yang Jing and Zhao Zongchang, and the Yelang people were recuperated, and with the armament of the White Bull Sect, they actively trained their troops, and even united the Miao and Dong ethnic minorities.
These ethnic minorities have existed since ancient times, especially in the southwest region, and are inextricably linked with the Yelang people, and they even respect the Yelang King.
The territory of the Yelang people is getting bigger and bigger, and it is stronger than Wei Zhenxian who stole the southwest before, because Wei Zhenxian rules by brutal suppression, while the Yelang people use the reverence and call of the ancestors, which is more solid than Wei Zhenxian's rule!
Yang Jing had already instructed Yang Jingting to maintain friendly contacts with the Yelang people, and the Bamboo King and the Great Sage also reciprocated the favor, Yang Jingting gave them the opportunity to recuperate and assist, while the Bamboo King and the Great Sage did not listen to the official government.
The changes in the southwest also made the people of Dali very envious, coupled with the appeal of Yang Jing and Liu Hanchao, hundreds of thousands of Dali people poured into the southwest to flee.
Yang Jingting hurriedly reported to the imperial court, and the court officials quarreled and quarreled, believing that accepting these refugees would weaken the defense of the southwest and increase the expenditure greatly, and that the Mongols and Dali's spies would easily get in and endanger the security of the southwest.
In view of this, the imperial court ordered that Dali should refuse to accept and resettle these refugees on the grounds that Dali had torn up the alliance and surrendered to the captives!
Most of the people in Dali are ethnic minorities such as the Bai and Yao and Dai ethnic minorities, and the imperial court does not accept or resettle, but the Yelang people are different, they secretly resettle these people in the mountains, the entire Xianyun Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are countless peaks and valleys, and it is not difficult to settle these people at all.
Although Zhao Yun was angry at Yang Jing's favoritism towards the rebel army, and Yang Jing once considered himself a failure, he had to admit that the southwest region was able to resist the Mongolian army and did not fall like Dali, relying on Yang Jing's earlier operation and layout in the southwest region!
Dong Huai's information, coupled with the nearly three hours of negotiation between the two, finally made Yang Jing think clearly about the current situation and finally made a choice.
Zong Yun is a man of great talent, his ambition is far from the south, he will go all the way to the north, he will drive the Mongols back to the steppe, or even to the bitter cold land further north, he will fight for it, even if he fights to the last man.
If Yang Jing stays by his side, he can only share his prestige, the so-called heaven and the people have no two masters, if Yang Jing defects to the rebels, it may bring great help, but it will also bring a lot of constraints and divisions.
Since Zongyun is going north, then Yang Jing will go south!
When Yang Jing and Dong Huai entered the palace again, Zhao Yun's attitude eased a lot, because if Yang Jing hadn't thought clearly, he was afraid that he would have already left Lin'an at this time, and Zhao Yun might be able to forcibly leave him, but it didn't make sense at all.
Yang Jing is not suitable for politics, nor is it suitable for officialdom, but he is definitely an indispensable talent, his creativity will bring all kinds of changes to this era, this change is the old-fashioned and conservative courtiers to resist, but it will also bring earth-shaking changes, will bring vitality and vitality to this dull Song Dynasty!
"Have you thought about it?"
"Yes, the minister has thought about it. ”
"That's good. Zhao Yun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but his face was still a little gloomy, and then he said to Yang Jing.
"In addition to the title of Earl Zhongyong, the Tiju Dongxiao Palace is also reserved for you, and you don't have to hold other official positions anymore, after a while, I will assign you a new errand, you can rest and rest, and go to the Shenhuo Camp and Longshan Temple when you are free." ”
Yang Jing immediately thanked him, but shook his head and said, "The situation is urgent, so let's hurry up and inspect the south." ”
Zhao Yun also smiled: "You, it's really not the material to be an official, I intend to let you do this, but it also takes time to make room for you, I can't let me kick out all those officials in the south now, these corrupt officials have no merit and hard work, I can't chill people's hearts, do you think I opened this court for you Yang Jing alone?"
Zhao Yun couldn't laugh or cry, in fact, the reason why he was so relieved of Yang Jing was that Yang Jing was not keen on politics, and he didn't have too many ambitions and means to fight for power and profit, unlike those old foxes, who were as cunning as foxes and treacherous as ghosts.
Yang Jing could only smile when he heard this, and the atmosphere became a lot more harmonious.
After all, Zhao Yun is the king of a country, and there are still measures that should be there, but majesty is also essential, Yang Jing once held a gun against him!
"Don't be too happy, your Yulu and Fengyi have stopped for the time being, and I can't finish the affairs of the imperial study, but now that the southern Xinjiang is in danger, I will settle the account with you in the future!"
Yang Jing also smiled, and saluted Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty is lenient, the minister is really afraid..."
Zhao Yun stepped down from the throne, nodded Yang Jing and said: "You, I didn't see you panicking when I took the gun, don't pick these nice things to say, the affairs of Southern Xinjiang really have to be grasped quickly, I sent the front Si Yan Ming to give it to you, these days are so prepared, don't mess up this matter." ”
"The land of the Southern Barbarians has always been dangerous, the miasma of smoke is pervasive, poisonous insects are raging, and the climate is really bad, the forbidden army's delicate gamblers and drunkards will also suffer a lot when they go. ”
"I thought I lived in this deep palace, so I was blind, and I was clear about all the pickled things underneath, these forbidden troops were too lazy to look good, I have been admonished, and I have stepped up training, but what it can be used for, it's up to you. ”
Yang Jingxin said that Liu Hanchao had already followed Zong Yun to carry out the revolution, and there were no capable cadres around him, so it was not easy to reorganize the army.
But since Zhao Yun has already said it, he must have his considerations, and Yang Jing did not raise any objections at the moment.
Zhao Yun saw Yang Jing like this, and couldn't help nodding, saying in his heart that Yang Jing was still calm, this kid has a thousand talents, but unfortunately he is not involved with those chaotic ministers and thieves, which makes people have to regret.
Of course, Yang Jing would not know Zhao Yun's thoughts, and this time he asked Yang Jing to go to southern Xinjiang just to save the emergency, but he was afraid that he had already started planning for unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and even had a plan in his heart.
However, Zhao Yun would never know that Yang Jing had already made plans in this regard before entering the palace, and it was not easy for Zhao Yun to hide his bow if he wanted to do his best.
The two monarchs and ministers each had ghosts, but their faces were harmonious, and they could see Dong Huai's cold sweat, but they had to laugh on the side.
Zhao Yun saw that the time was almost up, so he said to Yang Jing: "Concubine Duan's matter, presumably Yang Qing already knows, right?"
Yang Jing pretended to be shocked and said: "Concubine Duan, what's wrong with Concubine Duan? This matter of the inner palace, the minister is just an outsider, but he doesn't dare to inquire indiscriminately..."
"Okay, don't pretend, Concubine Duan was brought by you from Dali, such a big happy event, can you not know?" Zhao Yun saw Yang Jing acting like this, although he was so skeptical, but he was actually very relieved in his heart.
The heart said that Yang Jing was not able to give up the righteous army except for being a brother and sister with Zong Yun, and the others were still very reassuring.
"The minister just came back, and I really don't know about Concubine Duan, but... The minister is brave, seeing that His Majesty is radiant, purple and angry, and he is extraordinarily kind to the minister, it should be a great joy in the harem, presumably Concubine Duan is already pregnant with the dragon seed..."
Zhao Yun laughed, and said in his heart that Yang Jing was worthy of being a pusher, and he had done so many things for a long time that everyone forgot that he was still a detective.
"What you said is right, I am annoyed by government affairs, alienated from the harem, so that the blood heirs are not prosperous, fortunately I am favored by God, and I can be regarded as having a son in my old age, but Concubine Duan is frail, and she is not at ease these days, and the old things in the imperial medical hall do not dare to use medicine indiscriminately, I heard that there is a girl surnamed Lu next to you, so you can take her in to show Concubine Duan." ”
After all, Yang Jing is a foreign minister, not an imperial doctor, even if he is an imperial doctor, he can only be seen by a medical woman or a female official, after all, he has some scruples, and Yang Jing is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
Although Duan Chuhe and the evil monk's methods were not very glorious, Yang Jing had a speculation in his heart, and he couldn't rest assured after all, so he agreed now, but Yang Jing also kept an eye on it and suggested to Zhao Yun.
"The minister is used to being in the field, and he is afraid of breaking the rules of the inner palace, if he can be led by the princess of Ruiguo, the minister can also see Concubine Duan with peace of mind, Your Majesty..."
As soon as Yang Jing said this, he completely dispelled the doubts in Zhao Yun's heart, and he really smiled.
"It's said that you are bold, why are you afraid again, okay, I'll let my grandson accompany you. ”
Yang Jing is grateful, out of the Qinzheng Palace, there have already been eunuchs to pass the deer and white fish, Yang Jing sat for a while, and the princess of Ruiguo came over happily.
