Chapter 163: Gathering Old Cadres
"General Zong, you are the oldest in the Northern Unified Army of the Great Song Dynasty, you still have to take care of your health, after all, you can serve the country more with a good body."
In this case, it sounds like Zhao Shuo is a looting capitalist.
But Zhao Shuo understands Zong Ze.
If he can serve the country, he believes that Zong Ze will definitely double down on his body.
"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you."
"The Shen Zhaoqing case and the Chu Nangong case have one thing in common, that is, businessmen."
"In big cases of gangs, there are always businessmen."
"Before that, I have a question, what do you think the most urgent thing to do if we win the Jin people at the end of this year and take back the three major military towns in the north?"
Li Yanhui said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should take the lead in appeasing the people's hearts. ”
Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "Yes, the will of the people is the foundation of the country. ”
"But it's hard to reassure the people."
"What is the will of the people? How can we make the people feel that they are taken care of by the imperial court. ”
"You have to start with the subtleties."
"Even if I ask Shen Zhaoqing at this moment, what is the most important thing in the world, he will inevitably answer that it is the people's heart."
"So as an emperor, how to calm the people's hearts?"
Zhao Shuo sighed and continued: "Why did Shen Zhaoqing bully and loot the common people? ”
"Because he feels that the so-called popular will is an illusory ideal, a reason to suppress the common people when necessary."
"He was tyrannical, but he told the people that everything should be done with the court first."
"When I came here, he shamelessly said that everything should be based on the people's heart."
"Such a stubborn element who does not distinguish between priority and priority is the cause of the country's disaster."
"Have you ever thought about how many criminals like Shen Zhaoqing are hidden in the hundreds of civil and military officials above the court?"
"They are like Shen Zhaoqing, using their own position to seek huge private interests, they know, they all understand that doing so will only make the people of the world deviate from morality, and it will only make the credibility of the imperial court lose ground."
"They all know it, they all understand!"
"But we still have to go further and further down the wrong path."
His Majesty Zhao's words immediately made the four people in the hall hang their heads.
These people did not have a trace of timidity or shame in their hearts.
They are all pillars of the country with a clear conscience.
Li Gang took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty is the king of eternity. ”
"The people of the Great Song Dynasty are also rare people in a thousand years."
"It's just that the gold thieves besieged Bianliang City at the beginning."
"It was His Majesty who worked with the people in the city to finally dismantle the gold thief's conspiracy."
"This is even more true in the North today."
"My Great Song Dynasty is no better than any other dynasty, the common people of the Great Song Dynasty are the most respectable, and Wechen saw many people in the north volunteering to help us build the walled city."
"They even gave us as much food as they could to give us the barracks with a minimum standard of living."
"Such a common people, and with the guidance of an eternal saint like Your Majesty, Weichen believes that the gold thief will go south at the end of the year, which must be a regret that they can't regret."
"That's right, if the gold thief dares to come, let him have no return."
It was Uncle Zhang who spoke.
He is a more introverted person.
But in Zhao Shuo's eyes, Uncle Yexianggong is the kind of fierce man who doesn't talk much.
Li Yanhui said: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the current situation of my Great Song Dynasty is that there are too many defects accumulated over the years. ”
"We should refresh the official system, reuse those who are loyal and brave to serve the country, and ban those who are greedy for life and afraid of death who are in their positions and do not seek their own politics!"
Zong Ze immediately nodded and said, "The old minister also agrees with Li Zaifu's idea. ”
"The biggest flaw of our dynasty today is that the treasury is empty and the tax revenue is not smooth."
"So doing anything is going to be constrained."
"But as long as we follow what Lee Jae-fu said, get rid of the maladministration, boost the morale of the army, and get rid of those who bully and loot the common people, can our Great Song Dynasty return to its former glory."
"Okay, that's right." Li Yanhui also gave Zong Ze a high respect, and said: "General Zong's old man is both civil and military, and I am very fortunate to have you in my court." ”
Li Yanhui praised him like this, Zong Ze didn't dare to think about it.
In an instant, the seventy-year-old man blushed as shyly as a child, hurriedly waved his hand, and said modestly: "Li Xiangjian smiled, this is the true words of the old man." ”
Zhao Shuo said: "Old General Zong, you are right. ”
"Today, I listened to what you Aiqing said, but I was completely down-to-earth."
When Zhao Majesty spoke, he either went straight to the point.
Either that, it gives you a summary, and you savor it.
The current situation falls into the second category.
To put it simply, Zhao Shuo also understands the problems that everyone is talking about.
It's just that if he wants to solve the problem, he can't do without the people behind him.
He's here today to get the full support of these four people.
After all, Zhao Shuo killed in the capital, which would only make the Jurchens feel that there was an opportunity.
But if Zhang Shuye and these people can consolidate the border defense, then Zhao Shuo can deal with those shortcomings in the court without any worries.
At present, Zhao Shuo has begun to focus on cultivating Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.
They are the rising stars of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are also important ministers in the future.
There are experienced generals on the outside, and young people on the inside.
What else is there to worry about Zhao Shuo?
Zhao Shuo said: "It is my luck to have all the great generals, and it is also the luck of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can return to your respective posts with confidence, there is no need to urge the grain, grass and ordnance, I promise you today that the imperial court will only distribute food and salary to everyone in advance, and there will be no delay."
The four of them bowed down one after another: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
After dealing with the psychological concerns of the important confidants.
Zhao Shuo's next thing was much easier.
At the same time, the northern part of the Jurchens, the city of the Five Kingdoms.
The emperor of the Jin State, Wanyan Wu Qimai, held a feast in the city of the Five Kingdoms today.
It's just that this time there are some unfamiliar faces in the account of the Great Han of the Five Kingdoms City.
There were civil officials who surrendered from the Liao State, and there were also civil officials who surrendered from the Song Dynasty.
The most are of course the generals who surrendered from the Liao State.
There are more than 30 fierce generals alone.
Among them, the Liao army is 200,000.
Wanyan Wu begging to buy these backbones is really consolidating a wave of his own throne.
And those Liao people who surrendered were also promised high-ranking officials.
With the complete destruction of the Great Liao Yelu family.
The Liao people no longer have the idea of recovering the country.
But today, neither the Liao nor the Han people here dare to show excessive joy.
Because the important ministers invited by the Emperor of Jin were Mu Han and Wanyan Zongwang, as well as the generals of various departments under their command.
In order to set the mood of this banquet in advance.
The emperor called on hundreds of officials to line up to welcome him, and at the same time sent reports to Mu Han and others who entered the city of the Five Kingdoms one after another.
Congratulations on their triumph!
