Chapter 119: The Bottom Line

"Chen Zhongcheng, this official is the palace servant, and he will lose his etiquette when he plays a hundred officials. Chen Xianggong and others, as courtiers, are menacing, if they force the palace, where is the etiquette of the monarch and the minister? ”

Li Zongmian was not afraid and went back directly.

"The lord of the Ming is not evil, and the loyal ministers do not avoid heavy punishment and direct advice. If we allow traitors to do the tricks and the political affairs are disordered, what is the use of asking me to wait for these courtiers? ”

Chen Duanchang straightened his face, and his voice became louder unconsciously.

"Chen Xianggong, don't be impatient. You roar so loudly above the main hall, which is disrespectful to Your Majesty. You can be blunt, but don't be coerced and confused. ”

Li Zongmian replied coldly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Coerce the public and confuse the public.

Zhao Hong's heart moved, his face did not change, put down the teacup, and looked at the hall.

Chen Duanchang, a dignified important minister of the imperial court and the imperial history of the Great Song Dynasty, won't he just do these two times?

Li Zongmian's retort made Chen Duanchang furious, and he loudly reprimanded Li Zongmian, his face flushed.

"Though the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish. And those who are angry are against morality, the soldiers are murderous weapons, and the stubbles of the contenders. When the ancients were angry, they would lay down and bleed, so the holy king did it again. The husband defeats the poor and the poor, and there is no one who does not regret. ”

Chen Duan often blurted out, loudly.

"Today, the Tatars are powerful, the military is flourishing, the world is not fighting, even the Jin people have moved their capital to the south of the Yellow River, in order to avoid its front. Our Great Song Dynasty has been at war for many years, and there is a lack of state affairs, and using troops with Tatars at this moment is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Your Majesty be careful! ”

Chen Duan often faced Zhao Hong on the throne and bowed with a wat.

"Chen Xianggong, although the world is peaceful, it will be dangerous to forget the war. The princes are in the spring and the soldiers are in the autumn, so they don't forget to fight. Will the Tatars invade our land and kill our people, and we will sit idly by? Your Majesty is still wrong to take precautions and be prepared? Could it be that inciting too many students and fanning the flames is what the courtiers do? ”

Li Zongmian was unceremonious, and Chen Duanchang was-for-tat.

In the court, it became a gladiatorial arena for the two for a while.

"Okay, let's not say a word, listen to me."

Chen Duanchang still wanted to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and continued to argue, but Zhao Hong put down the teacup and spoke at the right time, stopping his words.

If you continue to quarrel like this, it will be endless, and you will not let Xue Ji and Xuan Xuan get up?

As for whether Chen Duanchang and others fanned the flames, it doesn't matter anymore.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are all public-minded, all for the Song Dynasty. Please Your Majesty kill traitorous ministers, expel mediocre ministers, and return justice to the ministers! ”

Chen Duan often wants to be unmoved and stubbornly plays.

"Your Majesty, what Chen Xianggong said is extremely true! Please allow your majesty to allow him to do so, and return the Song Dynasty to the court for a ......"

"I said, that's enough, all stand down and listen to me!"

Zhao Hong couldn't hold back any longer, and categorically terminated Liu Bi's follow-up.

The dignified Song Tianzi, no one listened to what he said in the court, and his vanity couldn't stand it.

Turning his gaze to Xue Ji and Xuan Xuan, who were kneeling on the ground, Zhao Hong's face softened.

"Xue Qing, Xuan Qing, get up. As the Minister of Politics and the Minister of the Humerus, he picks his son at every turn, is this loyalty to national affairs? Is this the foundation of human beings? ”

Zhao Hong looked at the ministers in the hall, and his face was pale, which was equivalent to correcting the names of the two humerus "traitors" on the spot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Xie Mingcha!"

In the surprised gaze of the ministers in the hall, Xue Ji and Xuan Xuan stood up and sat down cautiously.

It is clear that the emperor is supporting the two of them, what are they afraid of?

"Zhenqing, Liu Shilang, the implementation of the new policy on Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan West Road has not been completed, and now it is March, and the agricultural affairs are busy, and then February and March are busy in summer. The change of boundaries will be carried out in the autumn or in the spring of next year. The depreciation of Huizi and the soaring prices are the stubborn disease of my Great Song Dynasty for decades, not just waiting for a year and a half, right? ”

Zhao Hong opened his mouth loudly, facing the two chief officials of the household department, and the topic was directly biased.

"Your Majesty, the matter of changing boundaries can indeed be delayed until after the autumn, but the change of boundaries is related to the country, and it should be sooner rather than later, Your Majesty will know clearly."

Zhendexiu has no choice but to tell the truth.

"Liu Shilang, is the paper used to change the boundary appropriate, and is there anyone in the middle who is up and down? Are there enough gold, silver and copper coins on hand? Have all the households been verified? ”

"Your Majesty, the new paper for the change of borders can be prepared in June. Gold, silver and copper coins are still in preparation, and may not be until the end of the autumn. As for whether the paper is in his hands, the minister does not know, and the minister is going to Sichuan to check. ”

Liu Bi came one by one, Zhao Hong couldn't help but be surprised, and his face was silent.

"Since you are not ready, you don't have to rush. Zhen Qing and Liu Qing, the new coins that have changed boundaries must be carefully supervised. This is a major national event, and the secretary must not slack off! The Anti-Corruption Department accompanied Liu Shilang to Sichuan to thoroughly investigate the loss of paper, and afterwards played to me. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Zhao Hong spoke gently, Zhen Dexiu and Liu Bi had no choice but to receive the order.

If something goes wrong with the new paper, there will be a flood of banknotes in the future. Sichuan paper is the source, and counterfeit money is emerging in an endless stream on the market, and paper mills are to blame.

"Qiao Qing, Ge Qing, Xue Qing, everything goes from prosperity to decline, this is a natural number. I am a Chinese virtue, respect for the old and love for the young, the two ministers are already old, and they should be raised in order to conform to the way of heaven. What do you two think? ”

Zhao Hong spoke softly, Qiao Xingjian and Ge Hong were still stunned, and Xue Ji had already bowed and thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He is sixty-four years old, seventy years old, and he still has five or six years to go.

Qiao Xingjian is different, he is sixty-nine years old, no matter how good his health is, he will retire next year. As for Ge Hong, he is already over the age of old, and although his spirit is vigorous, Zhao Hong is no longer willing to use him.

"Your Majesty obeys the order, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Qiao Xingjian thanked him with a bitter face.

Once you do it, you will lose your power and wealth. The emperor is a measure to punish him for talking too much, so why should he do this?

Ge Hong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was stunned and almost collapsed on the spot.

Qiao Xingjian is sixty-nine, but he is already seventy-five years old. Doesn't this mean that he has been "fired"?

Why did he come to this troubled water?

What he didn't know was that his seat was already occupied and he couldn't sit on it anymore.

Jin Deok so was secretly surprised. In this way, Qiao's and Ge's relatives and friends who were waiting for Enyin to enter the office had no chance of career.

"Wei Shilang, how are your body bones now? How did the Taiyi Bureau give you acupuncture? ”

Facing Wei Wenweng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Hong's voice was softer.

"Back to Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty for recreating the grace of heaven. After the diagnosis and treatment of the Taiyi Bureau, Chen is much better now. ”

Wei Wenweng respectfully and respectfully.

His stubborn illness was removed, and his health improved greatly, thanks to Zhao Hong's transfer of him to the court and the Imperial Medical Bureau to diagnose and treat him.

"Wei Shilang, when a person is sick, he must be diagnosed and treated, and the same is true for border defense. My Great Song Dynasty border army is taking precautions and waiting for it, isn't this for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty people from being destroyed? If you watch the people of my Great Song Dynasty being slaughtered, can you bear it? ”

Zhao Hong said loudly, as if he was pointing something, Wei Wenweng hurriedly replied.

"The minister is ashamed. Your Majesty is arbitrary, and the ministers dare not disobey the will! ”

Shukou is related to the stability of Sichuan, the overall situation of the world, the emperor is cautious, it is the right way, and no one can restrain it.

"Zou Qing, this year's flood in Lin'an Mansion, the people were displaced, and you can also see the tragic situation, the Queen Mother also donated millions of yuan because of her sympathy for the people's feelings, which was used to help the victims."

Zhao Hong looked at Zou Yinglong, and his face became solemn.

"The people's livelihood is difficult, and how many people are sympathetic to the court? Once the Tatars invade the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, do you want to watch our Great Song people being slaughtered? It was a river of blood and corpses all over the field. You, the ruling minister, block the dispatch of troops, do you want to be indifferent and let the Mongolian army do evil? ”

The Dinghai Change, tens of thousands of Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians died tragically, such a tragedy, it is better not to happen. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, and the Mongolian army burned, killed and looted, but these scholars and doctors in Lin'an City could still live happily.

But those innocent victims, who cares if they live or die?

"Your Majesty, the minister knows his mistake!"

Zou Yinglong's face flushed and bowed.

He was born in a poor family and knew the sorrows of the people at the bottom. He was originally following the trend of the Lord and the faction, and under Zhao Hong's preaching, his position immediately became ambiguous.

Zhao Hong looked at Zou Yinglong, who had returned to the class, looked at his teacher, and put on a smile.

"Zhenqing, what do you think I will arrange a border army in the northwest frontier defense to deal with future wars?"

His teacher Zhen Dexiu, the head of the courtiers Qingliu, and the master of science in the Southern Song Dynasty, will not openly confront him, right?

Confrontation is also useless. The Mongolian army is a big problem for the Great Song Dynasty, he will not compromise, let alone resist, this is his bottom line, and no one can touch it.
