Lin'an University is divided into five parts: the outer court, the inner court, the east palace, the academy, and the palace garden. The palace city is surrounded by the imperial city, and the north gate of the imperial city is the Hening Gate, which is also the north gate for the ministers to enter the imperial city.

There are four groups of buildings in the outer court: Daqing Palace, Vertical Arch Palace, Apse, and Duancheng Palace. Daqing Hall is located in the South Palace Gate, is the place of the Great Dynasty, the vertical arch hall is in the north of the west side of the Daqing Palace, and is the official often Dynasty Palace.

And the function and name of this palace, as well as the etiquette of the previous dynasty, are all copied from the Northern Song Dynasty. It's just that the Daqing Palace, the Vertical Arch Palace, etc., in the Northern Song Dynasty Tokyo City, have long been unable to go back.

Dunxin Mingyi, Chongde repays merit, which means that the arch is ruled and the world is peaceful. The Imperial Palace is the political center of Lin'an City, and the Vertical Arch Hall is the palace within the palace and the center of the political center.

Since the shame of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and the Song dynasty crossed to the south, it has been nearly a hundred years. The emperor discusses politics in the vertical arch hall, the state decision-making is out of this hall, and the military and political affairs are decided here, which is the center of the power struggle, the gladiatorial arena of the monarch and the ministers, and the hundred officials.

On the throne of the main hall, Zhao Kuo, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, had a scorched face, and Mu Ran looked at the ministers standing solemnly below.

This benevolent, righteous and loyal humble gentleman, the first minister with the power to control the government and the government, and the later as the treacherous minister Shi Miyuan's dictatorship, is like an ornament, coupled with poor health, he can only meditate and nourish his qi and cultivate the Tao to become an immortal.

The official family of the Great Song Dynasty is very hard and easy in the local area.

This made Zhao Hong inexplicably think of Song Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty and Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the three are all "cultivators", occupying the pit and not, but in comparison, Zhao Kuo is better and knows how to love the people; Song Huizong's literary and artistic youth, misleading the country and the people; Jiajing is not sympathetic to the people, but he is too tough.

Song Huizong relied on his private wisdom and wisdom, and his intentions were biased, and he reprimanded the righteous and treacherous. Playthings and discouragement, indulgence and defeat, there are few immortals.

Jiajing's alchemy and cultivation, superstitious magic, and ministers are fortunate to be favored by pandering, and their morale is corrupt and their politics are corrupt. Eating fast and living alone without forgetting to dictate the dynasty is not so much "inaction", but rather the causticism of the Legalists, and the arbitrariness of the imperial system has been brought into full play.

He wanted Zhao Kuo to be as domineering as Jiajing. In this way, he, the prince, can ascend the throne smoothly without being afraid.

And, in all probability, he will be a good emperor.

It's a pity, it's a pity that everything is just a good wish, and it will never come true.

On the throne, Zhao Kuo, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, looked at the solemn ministers below, his eyes swept over Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, his face was calm, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he still didn't say a word.

The inner attendant and the inner enshriner are arranged on both sides, and the left is the prime minister, the governor of the council, the privy council class, and the bachelor class; On the right are the princes and princes of the clan, the deputy envoys, the provincial class of the Chinese book, the class of the imperial history, the knowledge system and so on; Later, he sent civil officials and green-clothed royal historians who heard about the incident.

The Manchu Dynasty scholars, only Shi Miyuan stood in front of the hundred officials, which shows the dignity of his identity and the transcendence of his status.

The monarch is strong, the imperial power is weak, and the country is eventful, how many of these Zhu Zi nobles can be used?

News came from the north, just now, in the cold winter wax moon, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty Wan Yan Xun died, and his son Wan Yan Shouxu succeeded to the throne and changed the year name to "Zhengda".

At the same time, because Genghis Khan repeatedly attacked Western Xia, Xia Ting adopted the strategy of uniting Jin to resist Mongolia, taking advantage of Genghis Khan's westward expedition, sending envoys to unite the Jin Dynasty and the Mobei tribes to resist Mongolia, in order to recover the decline in the war situation and forcibly continue the life of Western Xia.

This Great Song court meeting, of course, was discussed for the Western Xia and the succession of the new emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

What is embarrassing is that the major diplomatic events of Western Xia actually ignored the Great Song Dynasty. Come to think of it, I'm afraid it's not just because there is a Jin Dynasty between the Xia and Song dynasties.

The army of the Great Song Dynasty was weak, and he didn't even pay attention to the land of projectiles and the downtrodden Western Xia, how sad.

"Zhuqing, the Tatars sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty Jinghu North Road Preparation Division, wanting to connect my Great Song Dynasty and destroy the Jin Kingdom together. Let's see how to reply. ”

On the throne, Zhao Kuo, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, spoke softly and opened the topic.

Originally, the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia have always hooked up, but the Mongolian Central Plains coach Mu Huali suddenly died of illness, and the matter was over.

Now Mu Huali's son Polu has replaced his father Mu Huali and sent him back to make a new round of joint attempts to attack gold.

"The strong Tartar is gradually rising, and its momentum is enough to extinguish the summer. The Tatars and the Jin are feuding, and I am afraid that the Jin will not be spared. The enmity of Jin Xiwu is also, and now I am also covered. The ancients had dead lips and cold teeth, and Yigu and coins jointly rejected Tartar! ”

Qiao Xingjian, the trembling waiter of the Ministry of Works, came out of work with a wat and was worried.

The Mongol soldiers were strong and strong, and they destroyed Xia Jin, but it was just around the corner. Once the Jin people perished, the Mongol army would have to be neighbors with the Song, which was by no means a good thing for the Song. It is better to resume the New Year's coins to the Jin people, continue to resist Mongolia, and the Great Song Dynasty will work hard to accumulate strength in case of accidents.

Zhao Hong looked at this Qiao Shilang, his face was full of wrinkles, his temples were gray, he was hunched over, and he was old, he should have been about seventy years old. This old man stood in the hall for a long time, and he was impressed.

Not to mention, he, a young man of twenty years old, stood on the main hall for a while, and felt his legs numb. Not to mention these old comrades in their sixties and seventies.

If he becomes an emperor, he must "sit and talk about the Tao", not "sit and talk about the Tao". If everyone's health is broken, how can they do things for the country?

"The fall of Western Xia is probably not long in the future. The Jin people have a common enmity with me, and we should take the opportunity of the Jin Dynasty and the Tatars attacking each other, and send troops north to recover the lost territory to avenge the revenge of the monarch's father! “

Tanzhou Zhizhou and Hunan pacified Zhen Dexiu, and this time he was edicted to enter the court. This famous master of science in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Hong's former teacher, refuted it sharply.

The shame of Jingkang, the second emperor of Huiqin was exiled to the north, and the north of the Yellow River was lost, and the Song people were humiliated. Although the Song Dynasty was poor and weak, and several Northern Expeditions failed, the call for recovering the lost land and being ashamed of the past has never stopped. Zhen Dexiu's move also expressed the voice of most of the courtiers in the palace.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but smile softly.

This teacher is really Dexiu, and he really looks up to Song Jun's strength, and he doesn't know where his self-confidence comes from?

There are words engraved on his face and hands, he has no dignity at all, he is barely fed and clothed, he comes and goes when he is called, why do you work hard for the Song Dynasty? Work hard for you corrupt officials with fat brains?

If it weren't for the homeland of relatives and the dense water network in the south of the Yangtze River, the Great Song Dynasty would have disappeared long ago.

"The ambition of the Tatar wolf, whether or not they unite to destroy Jin, will be detrimental to my Great Song. The alliance on the sea, Yin Jian is not far away, it is better to be careful! ”

The wrinkled old minister, the bachelor of the Duanming Palace, signed the Privy Council Xue Ji, and was worried.

Tatar is the name given to the Mongolian tribes by the Song people, and it is the same for the court, the people, and the commoners. In many foreign documents of later generations, China is also referred to as Tatar.

"Your Majesty, the Jin people are thieves who are not dead, and after the defeat of the Tatars, they will go south and seize Jianghuai. Fortunately, our soldiers fought bloodily to repel their attack. The country hates the feud, there seems to be no reason not to repay it, right? In the opinion of the ministers, they should immediately join together to destroy Jin and recover Sanjing! ”

Zhao Ru, the squire of the Criminal Department and the Zhao Song Sect, was righteous and awe-inspiring, and had another opinion.

There was no sound in the hall, and there was silence. Zhao Hong glanced at Zhao Rushu and snorted coldly in his nose.

Lian Meng Zhanjin, this ignorant disciple of the Great Song Dynasty, led the wolf into the room, not to mention, did the Great Song Dynasty have 150,000 or 60,000 elites to restore the Central Plains?

Xue Ji secretly glanced at Shi Miyuan, the right prime minister and privy envoy who was sitting at the head of the ministers, the latter was an old god, and his face was unwavering.

Xue Ji lowered his gray head and stopped talking.

The feud between the Song and Jin, the hatred of destroying the country, the great shame and humiliation, the great Song dynasty and the opposition, everyone wanted to destroy the Jin country and then quickly.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and one insisted on joining the Jin Dynasty to form a thick bond with coins as a shield against Mongolia; One believed that it was necessary to take the opportunity to isolate the Jin dynasty and thus lift their spirits to resist the Mongol attempt to move south.

However, there is one thing that everyone agrees, Western Xia has no cure, and it is about to perish. The Kingdom of Jin is a feud and needs to be treated with caution.

All the courtiers were gossiping and talking, the minister Shi Miyuan and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were silent, and after a lot of chatter in the hall, silence was restored.

Even when the silence fell, Shi Miyuan and Zhao Kuo still didn't speak, as if they were waiting for each other's reaction.

Zhao Kuo listened patiently and seemed to be humbly admonished, but he never said a word, it seemed that the court affairs still listened to Shi Miyuan and the deacons.

"Shi Xiang, what do you think?"

Zhao Kuo had a smile on his face, and his eyes turned to Shi Miyuan, who was sitting calmly and calmly, and his face was even paler.

I don't know, how long can my body and bones last?

"Your Highness, what do you think of the situation today?"

Shi Miyuan opened his eyes, turned his head, swept his gaze to Zhao Guicheng, the upstart of the court in the train on the side, and coughed lightly.

"Shengshang, Shi Xiang, the Jin people invaded our Jianghuai, and the teachers mobilized the people, but they failed and failed, and the loss of soldiers and horses is difficult to count. Now that the new emperor of Jin has ascended the throne, he has ordered the end of the war with our dynasty. The so-called sandpiper and clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits. The Jin people are my feud, and now they are weak, it is better to destroy the Jin in Lianmeng, take back the land of Sanjing as soon as possible, and round the century-old grudge of my Song people. ”

Zhao Guicheng said eloquently, the ministers bowed their heads, and Zhao Kuo, who was on the throne, couldn't help but nodded.

The recovery of Bianliang City was the knot in the hearts of the emperors and scholars of the Southern Song Dynasty. The imperial court made several northern expeditions, but unfortunately they were all in vain.

Zhao Hong understood a little in his heart. Shi Miyuan is already building momentum for the young Zhao Guicheng.

Why is there no one to help themselves?

"Wei Qing, you are the squire of the military department, tell me, how to reply to the envoy?"

Zhao Kuo said softly, avoiding the military department's Shangshu Xuanxuan. He also seemed to be indifferent to all the previous ministers' performances.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar army is mainly captive and plundered, and after capturing the city, it will massacre and plunder, and the iron hooves are like ruins, monks and temples and Taoist temples, the rooms are prosperous, the houses are burned, the city is ruins, and the corpses of the people in the north are piled up like mountains, and there is not one in ten. Is it to destroy the gold, Your Majesty Holy Judgment. ”

Wei Liaoweng didn't say it directly, but his meaning was self-evident, and he was unwilling to cooperate with the other party.

Zhao Hong secretly appreciated. Wei Liaoweng, the squire of the military department, is still at a certain level, and he has a long-term vision.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded Wei Shilang."

The secretary of the military department and the governor of the political affairs of Xuanxuan came out and seconded Wei Liaoweng.

Zhao Hong looked at Xuan Xuan, fifty years away, with a round face and long beard, and a kind complexion. This person and Shi Miyuan are sons and daughters, and they all say that He Xue Ji is Shi Miyuan's minions, and his limited knowledge of history has no impression of this.

Hu Yu, another governor of the Ministry of Industry and a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

After this person became famous, his grandfather Hu Quan was a famous minister of the Zhao Dynasty of Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, and Li Gang, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang were called the "Four Famous Ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty".

However, listening to Li Tang, Hu Yu is a corrupt official, and he can only be an official, I don't know if it's true or not.

However, looking at his eyebrows and eyes lowered in the court, he wants to carry forward the official skills of "talking less and kowtowing more".

Looking at Shi Miyuan again, he was still calm and relaxed, as steady as Mount Tai, controlling the entire court and firmly occupying the center of the main hall.

It seems that all the time, he is thinking about pushing Zhao Guicheng out, increasing Zhao Guicheng's influence, and also showing his support for Zhao Guicheng's position. As for how to deal with state affairs, he doesn't seem to care about it.

Anyway, it's just a mouthful, and in the end, it's not his Shi Xiang's words, and it's arbitrary.

"Je Guogong, what do you think? Tell me about it. ”

Zhao Kuo's eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Hong in the train.

Speaking of which, at the last court meeting before New Year's Day, it seems that the voice of this prince should also be listened to.

What do you think?

Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart, and hurriedly walked out, cleared his throat, and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that how to deal with relations with Tatars should be treated with caution. It is very likely that the United Mongolia will repeat the mistakes of the maritime alliance of the year. The Tatar army was in full swing, which was more than the Jurchen in the early days. His Majesty's Holy Judgment. ”

In front of the "father", you can't be perfunctory. Zhao Hong subconsciously felt that he had a little bit of respect and joy that the leaders of later generations asked.

That's a real bargain.
