Since Lao Zhao won the country, the political style of the Great Song Dynasty has changed abruptly.

became extremely conservative, everyone should have been poisoned too deeply by the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and they didn't even dare to be too strong in the normal recall, for fear that this group of people would rebel.

It is necessary to have a good relationship with scholars, with scholars, and with the powerful.

It is even more necessary to connect with Zai Fu's heart......

So the future emperor was embarrassed by the rules and regulations made by Zhao Laoda, but he couldn't complain, who made the family the ancestor?

The words of our ancestors are the rules.

Immediately after the sound of candle shadow axe, Zhao Lao Er appeared on the stage.

This goods are eighty percent weak-hearted, so he resolutely implemented all the policies of his brother's reign, and it is this kind of policy that has been brought into full play.

This is for fear that people will say that he is not in the right position.

When it came to Zhenzong, a poem of encouragement let the world know that the royal family and the scholars are really heart-to-heart, and you want you to be educated, and you can do whatever you want.

Come on, live a good life with my old Zhao family.

But the true sect is a lump of mud that can't support the wall, there is no doubt about this.

To say that there is no fault is to have, but for the emperor, reactive power is wrong.

The foundation of the Great Song Dynasty has been hollowed out by this goods.

Fortunately, his son Zhao Zhen is not bad, and he has been cultivating and recuperating for many years, so that the Great Song Dynasty has made some improvements.

But the problem of the Great Song Dynasty has been deeply rooted, and it has gradually become a multiple cancer.

Renzong struggled once in the Qingli years, but was frightened by the counterattack of vested interests, so far he did not dare to mention reform, and after Shenzong came to power, he reused Wang Anshi and struggled again, but unfortunately it still ended in failure.

The biggest hidden danger in this is the clan.

This group of people is a cancer.

They do not produce, and they do not contribute to the people of the country, and they will be awarded officials at the age of five, and they have since embraced the iron rice bowl.

If the number of people in the clan is small, it is nothing, and it is nothing to raise a few idlers in a huge country.

But with the reproduction of several generations, the number of people in the clan has now successfully exceeded the 1,000 mark, and the pressure on the finances is getting bigger and bigger.

Last time, Zhao Zhen and Qin Wei quietly calculated it in private, but both of them were scared to pee.

The expenses of the clan are twice as high as those of the hundred officials in Beijing, and weddings, funerals, and various rewards are not counted here.

This is a cancerous tumor, and it is constantly corroding the bones and blood of this Great Song.

……

The gathering of the Shangjun Wangfu can't be hidden from those who have a heart.

As an elder of the clan, Zhao Yuanyan naturally knew all about these things, and when he learned that many clans had gone to the banquet, he was so angry that he dropped a whole set of porcelain.

But the anger in my heart did not subside.

Then he was ready to make it bad, and ordered someone to spread the news that Qin Wei was going to the Shangjun Palace.

After all, it is the ministers and the clan, even if the relationship is good in private, but such a blatant gathering, even if the courtiers don't say anything, what will Your Majesty think?

"What did Your Majesty say?"

He asked people to deliberately reveal the news to the palace, thinking that Zhao Zhen, the young emperor, was most afraid of the clan and the courtiers at the moment.

"Lord, Your Majesty's side...... Didn't speak. ”

"Is that so?"

A hint of gloom flashed in Zhao Yuanyan's eyes, and he sneered: "This king has underestimated my eldest nephew......

He didn't expect Zhao Zhen to say nothing, which couldn't help but show his trust in Qin Wei, and it also showed that he had already matured and was no longer a little emperor who was seduced by others.

"Lord Wang, Guozijian is calling the students to return."

The next day, the next person sent the latest news.

But if there is anything about Qin Wei, hurry up and tell it, whether it is a big thing or a small matter, as long as it is about Qin Wei, everything is very small!

This is Zhao Yuanyan's explanation, and the subordinates dare not delay, even if Zhao Yuanyan is sitting on the toilet.

"Hmmm......"

In the past few days, Lao Zhao has become angry, and I don't know if it is because he is angry or because the weather is getting hotter.

There were a lot of acne on his face inexplicably, and even if he was a woman at night, he couldn't go away.

He squatted on the toilet and raised his head, his face flushed, and asked, "Why are you still calling students after the Dudian test?" ”

The subordinate shook his head and said, "I don't know." But those new science and technology scholars...... Those who were in the capital also went. ”

Zhao Yuanyan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this matter. ”

The servant left, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he heard another uncomfortable muffled snort from inside.

……

Zhao Yuanyan was on fire, but Zhao Zhen didn't have time to deal with him.

"Your Majesty, Guozijian is gathering students, and those who stayed in Beijing this time are also among them."

There are a lot of people in contact with the Imperial City Division, and these things are also taken to say, which makes Zhao Zhen a little helpless.

"Nothing to worry about."

Ye Shuangchou was looking through the information, suddenly froze, and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Western Xia......

Zhao Zhen was drinking tea, his face was a little swollen, and when he heard this, he sat up straight and asked, "But it's a big deal?" ”

It is now the time for the old and the new to change in Western Xia, and perhaps something big will happen.

Ye Shuangchou's face was still cold, "Your Majesty, Li Yuanhao's position as the prince has been stabilized, most of the domestic forces have surrendered, and although some of them are still fluttering, according to Li Deming's means, there will be a way for his son to succeed to the throne safely." ”

"Are you going to do it? Good! ”

Zhao Zhen put down the teacup and got up and circled excitedly.

"Several forces are all heavily armed, Li Yuanhao is young and weak, but as long as Li Deming is here, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose...... If Li Yuanhao wants to succeed to the throne safely, he must first stabilize the interior, let alone five years, these five years are enough for the Song Dynasty to calmly arrange. ”

He then convened a meeting of his ministers.

"What a good thing!"

Lu Yijian clenched his right fist and smashed it into the palm of his left hand, and said happily: "Your Majesty, I heard that several of Li Yuanhao's cronies were killed a while ago, and those powerful people in Western Xia have long been on the same page with Li Yuanhao at this moment, and there is no vicious battle, Li Yuanhao does not want to succeed to the throne safely." ”

The Great Song Dynasty hated the betrayal of the Li family, and the rebellion of the Li family led to a series of chain reactions, and the Great Song Dynasty suffered a big loss.

But it's still too early.

Western Xia has not yet established a state, and Li Yuanhao is still struggling on the edge of power.

Everything still has a chance, as long as the opportunity can be grasped, it doesn't matter if Li Yuanhao establishes the country, there is no loss for the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen said comfortably: "The news from all parties must be collected, is there a secret spy in the Privy Council?" ”

This is a knowingly asked, indicating that His Majesty is in a very good mood and wants to show himself to the Privy Council.

Pang Ji was not there, and the veteran Wang Deyong was the representative, and he came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, there are many spies in the Privy Council in Western Xia, and the news should be able to come over in a few days." ”

The secret spies of the Privy Council are no better than the secret spies of the Imperial City Division, but this is not a shameful thing.

Ye Shuangchou glanced at Wang Deyong, his eyes were ghostly and disdainful.

In this regard, the Imperial City Division is professional, and the Privy Council is amateur, and the gap is obvious, so he doesn't think that the Privy Council can be brilliant this time.

Although Wang Deyong is old, he is not stupid, especially in his career as a horse, he is very sensitive to certain breaths.

He felt that Ye Shuangchou was despising him, so he glared at him.

Ma's!

Although the old man is a military general, he has also experienced a big war.

It's just that those civil officials throw their faces at the old man, this big Song Dynasty is like this, but do you dare to throw your face at the old man as an internal servant?

When the old man was in a hurry, you were still a little servant for eight years!

You're a fool!

"This matter must be hurried, but whenever there is news, I must know it immediately, even if it is the key in the palace at night, I will report it......"

Western Xia is about to have civil strife, and the Li family's regime is about to be shaken.

This is a good thing for any hostile country or surrounding forces.

Once you can seize the opportunity, then many can easily subvert the pattern of the world.

Zhao Zhen felt very happy, he thought about it for a while, and asked, "Who ......was the deputy secretary of the bureau who sent the deputy secretary of the bureau last time?"

Xu Mao had some impressions of this person, so he said directly: "Your Majesty, it's Zongsheng." ”

This person is a talent, and his means of slapping horses are more exquisite than those in the palace.

"Yes, that's him."

Zhao Zhen said: "If the Western Xia is chaotic this time, then it is necessary to send an envoy, this Zongsheng is very good, I heard that when Qin Wei was not there, he was in charge of the affairs bureau...... That's an offending yamen, he can manage it in an orderly manner, and he thinks he has some skills. ”

Wang Deyong was very depressed.

This work is obviously from the Privy Council, so why should a secretary do it.

Your Majesty is not looking down on the abilities of their Privy Councillors?

The old guy is an old qualified, and he has been a military general for many years, and he has a very high prestige in the army, and when he returned to the Privy Council, he felt unhappy, so he said that he went out for a walk.

This is a bright off-duty, but now he is the biggest in the Privy Council, and the old guy is old, no one dares to report it.

So he slipped away and went to Qin's house.

This is Wang Deyong's first visit to the Qin family, and everyone has had some intersections before, but most of them are friends in Pingshui, which is not affectionate, and can only be said to be familiar.

Qin Wei was wondering why Ouyang Xiu didn't come, so he heard that Wang De was using it, so he politely asked him to talk in the study.

Veterans are naturally to be respected.

Especially the veteran of the Great Song Dynasty...... That's really one less walk!

"That Ye Shuangchou deceived people too much, he coldly topped the old man last time, and this time it was like this again, he was angry with the old man."

Older people should not hold their breath, otherwise they will hurt themselves.

Wang Deyong knew this truth, but it was difficult to find someone to talk to, so he came here.

"Going to do it?"

Qin Wei was also a little excited.

Li Yuanhao may not be famous now, but he knows that this person has big ambitions.

It was in his hands that the Western Xia became independent!

Moreover, Xiao Li is still a war maniac, and as soon as he came to power, he was ambitious to make contributions, and Da Song became his goal.

not only repeatedly offended the border of the Great Song Dynasty, but also seized the opportunity to take the Hetao area of the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Such a big man is finally going to appear now!

The smoke between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia was about to ignite, and Qin Wei seemed to have smelled blood, and the smell was unpleasant.

Wang Deyong didn't know that his thoughts had drifted to a few years later, so he introduced some information.

“…… There is tension on both sides, Li Yuanhao estimates that it will be difficult to sit on the throne, once Li Deming is dead, Western Xia will follow, and by that time ......"

Beat the water dogs, hammer the broken drums.

Wang De smiled gloatingly, and a hint of excitement flashed faintly on his face.

The role of a martial artist is war, and the previous style of the Great Song Dynasty has always been to appease, but now that he finally has a chance, how can he not be excited.

If you can make military achievements on the standing field that you can still go on in your lifetime, it can be regarded as the most satisfying ending for a military general.

This is the reason why he came to the Qin family today.

Qin Wei is the only civilian official in the court who has been on the battlefield, and he is also Zhao Zhen's hardcore confidant.

If he can advise the court to start a war with Western Xia, then this may really be possible.

"Western Xia is going to be in chaos?"

Qin Wei was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty also thinks so?" ”

Wang Deyong said as a matter of course: "We all think so, now just wait for Li Deming to die, Li Yuanhao can't stop the offensive of those powerful people, and Western Xia will naturally be chaotic." ”

In the eyes of everyone, Western Xia was about to have civil strife.

A young man of less than twenty, what can he do to suppress those powerful and powerful tribes.

Isn't it up to his dad to support him?

Wang Deyong sighed and said: "However, once there is civil strife in Western Xia, the surrounding tribes, even the Tubo on the plateau, will take action because of this, and it will be a big chaos...... Da Song also has to pay attention here! ”

The replacement of the old and the new in Western Xia made both Song and Liao begin to wake up.

Although Zhao Zhen has been on the throne for several years on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, the power in his hands is still suppressed by Liu E.

Even if the Queen Mother has long since faded out of the court, these Song ministers are still vigilant, and they will not rest assured until the day Liu E dies.

On the Liao side, Yelu Longxu is also dying, and then the Liao State will also experience the process of replacing the old and the new.

This has to be worrying!

He muttered for a long time, and finally felt more comfortable, and prepared to go back.

"The secret spies of the Privy Council are not as good as the Imperial City Division, but that Ye Shuangchou is hateful, and the old man will have to make him look good next time."

Old children, old children, Wang Deyong has some of this situation now.

He got up, but found that Qin Wei was still sitting, so he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qin Wei said: "If it is...... Can you trust someone? ”

Wang Deyong nodded and said: "Although you and I don't have much intersection, I am bent on strengthening the army and rejuvenating the army, and you never discriminate against martial artists, so the old man believes in you." ”

Qin Wei smiled and said, "Then when the secret agent of the Privy Council comes, I want to go and listen to the questioning, can I?" ”

"It's not in order...... But ......"

Wang Deyong hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "But you got Jingguan in Fuzhou, the people of Western Xia hate you to the bone, and no one dares to say that you will collaborate with the enemy." That's it, the old man will call you then. ”

The next day, Qin Wei was summoned to the Privy Council.

Wang Deyong sat there with some disappointment, and the two men who looked exhausted sat opposite each other, gobbling up soup cakes.

As soon as Qin Wei came in, Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "It's just right that you're here, let's hear about this news...... is similar to the news found out by the Imperial City Division, all of which say that Western Xia is going to have civil strife. ”

Qin Wei walked in, and after the two of them finished eating the soup cakes, he asked, "Has Li Yuanhao fallen into disadvantage?" ”

One of the two nodded: "Yes, Li Yuanhao has lost at the hands of the Great Song Dynasty twice in a row, and there is a lot of opposition to him within Western Xia, so he has been very honest recently." ”

Honest?

Whoever is honest will not be honest!

According to the time calculation, the new monarch of Western Xia should be determined soon.
