Chapter 34: Diplomacy (3)
In the fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty, in 1233 AD, the third day of the first month.
It was early in the morning, the winter rain was like smoke, the cold wind was slow, and the cold was chilling.
In the Lin'an Palace, in the imperial study, Zhao Hong was listening to Zhou Ping and Xu Liang's report.
"Your Majesty, in the past few days, we have visited the counties around Lin'an City, and sure enough, there are many schools that deceive and conceal their superiors and subordinates in military physical education classes, and the military physical education assessment is also perfunctory. This is the guaranteed quota of Qiantang County Middle School and Renhe County Middle School to each university hall this year, Your Majesty, please take a look. ”
Zhou Ping put the list in his hand in front of Zhao Hong.
"You say."
Zhao Hong picked up the list.
"Your Majesty, Zhejiang and Zhejiang have recommended a total of 300 students to Jinling and Lin'an universities, and the two counties account for almost half, accounting for almost 30% of the students on the two Zhejiang roads. These two middle schools are also the most serious cheating in military physical education assessments, and military physical education classes are almost non-existent. ”
Zhou Ping explained softly, and Zhao Hong nodded lightly.
Reading is the smartest, with one mind to be an official and in politics, the yang is against the yin, and the superiors and subordinates are deceived and concealed, and the Great Song Dynasty may have to go back to the old road of using literature to control martial arts.
This is all done by the smartest people in the world, and most of the people who want to be promoted and make a fortune are cultivated.
"Zhou Ping, hard work!"
It's just a few days of work, it's still a festival, and the efficiency of the Intelligence Department is really high enough.
"All the escort students in Qiantang County and Renhetang have been canceled, and the principals of the two schools have all been pushed to the end! Other places continue to investigate, education is not trivial, all roads in the Great Song Dynasty must be strictly investigated, and anyone who violates the law with yang and yin will be severely punished. ”
Zhao Hong immediately made a decision.
That Shi Yanzhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is also in charge of the Department of Education, which is really a stupid decision. I don't know, what do the ruling ministers think?
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the matter of recruiting students in the various university halls?"
"The assessment personnel of the admissions office of each university hall have all been replaced, and all of them are strictly checked. Beginning this year, the proportion of military sports results in the examinations of various universities and halls will be increased to 40 percent of the total scores. ”
Originally, the proportion of military sports assessment results accounted for 30 percent, but now it is mentioned as 40 percent, in order to warn the world, and if you ignore military sports subjects, you will be severely punished.
"Your Majesty, in the final analysis, it is up to people to increase the proportion of military sports assessment scores. Shi Yanzhi's resignation, how to deal with it? Has Your Majesty made a decision to replace the person in charge of the Department of Education? ”
"Shi Yanzhi will let him do it. Do you have a suitable candidate for the post of Director of the Department of Education? ”
Shi Yanzhi went to work, he wanted to deal with it strictly, but Shi Yanzhi's brother Shi Songzhi was imprisoned again, and he was about to be beheaded. Under the trade-off, it is better to let Shi Yan go to the horse, so as not to be slandered by the government and the opposition.
"Your Majesty, it seems to the ministers that unless they are enlightened scholars, they must be of a new generation of officials. Otherwise, there will still be such a thing. ”
Zhou Ping's words were very emotional.
The old-fashioned scholars studied the Four Books and the Five Classics, practiced the Zhu Rite Law, and were exposed to the use of literature to control the military, and believed that the king and the scholars ruled the world together. It is really a bit taken for granted to let them advocate military practice and advocate the style of martial arts.
New officials?
Zhao Hong hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"Xuan Yuehua, the instructor of the Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Xuan Yuehua is good, but she is a woman, will she ......?"
Zhou Ping was taken aback. The emperor is going to let female officials ascend to the court.
"That's right! It's Xuan Yuehua! ”
Zhao Hong laughed, heartless.
Under his rule, if something shocking did not happen, wouldn't it be in vain?
Zhou Ping and Xu Liang looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.
The emperor is whimsical and deviant, and he has not been criticized by those stubborn bachelors of science and doctors?
"Your Majesty, the officials are greedy for ink, and they commit adulterous things, and the ministers are guilty, and Your Majesty will punish them! The minister must investigate thoroughly to the end, and give an explanation to Your Majesty and the people of the world! ”
Xu Liang played, feeling uneasy.
For example, some black sheep in the Anti-Corruption Department have colluded with local officials and businessmen, which is extremely harmful. As the de facto head of the anti-corruption department, he cannot escape responsibility.
"Anti-corruption and anti-corruption, clarifying the rule of officials, the coming day is long, and there is no need to rush for a while. If you find the shortcomings, find out the countermeasures, and do things well. ”
After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he nodded lightly at Dong Songchen.
Dong Songchen comprehended that he would go out, and soon, several Khitan envoys with bald hair and braids came in and saluted Zhao Hong together.
"The envoys under the command of Yelu Xue Yan, the king of Liao, Yelu Gangu and Brother Yelu Shan, and their entourage, knocked to see the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
"Two messengers, take your seats."
Zhao Hong whispered softly and nodded slightly.
King Yelu Xueja of Liao, the son of Yelu Liuge of the Khitan royal family, is a subsidiary of Mongolia in Liaodong, with 100,000 people, and his power should not be underestimated.
The subordinates of Wokotai, a Gaochang State, an Eastern Liao, and the Great Song Dynasty secretly passed the song. It seems that a little wind and grass has already made these vassals deviate from morality.
"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the Queen and the King of Liao congratulate the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! I wish the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty an early recovery of his homeland and the army in the world! ”
Yelu Gugu smiled all over his face and continued to play, like his nephew Yelu Shange, he was careful to observe Emperor Song.
Young, ambitious, and sharp-eyed, it was as if the world was under his control......
Such a great Song emperor, even if it is a powerful Mongolia, how can he compete with the Great Song Dynasty!
Soldiers are in the world!
Zhao Hong laughed softly and laughed.
"Envoy of the King of Liao, Liaodong is the old land of my Central Plains Dynasty. I'm going to go on a Northern Expedition on the Great Song Keri, what choice will Dongliao make then? ”
"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are strong and strong, and the King of Liao will not intervene in the Northern Expedition of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. As for whether the king of Liao wants to return to the Great Song Dynasty, the foreign ministers have to go back to report to the queen and the king of Liao. ”
Jerugiku said stiffly.
Along the way, you can see the tiger and wolf army of the Song people, the soldiers are fierce and fierce, and the firearms are sharp, not to mention, there are now steam warships.
The Song army was able to break 70,000 Mongolian elites and kill the Mongolian god of war Torre, which can be seen in the prosperity of its troops.
There are only a few hundred thousand people in Liaodong, and there are 70 million Song people, how can they fight against each other?
"Yelu Gu, since you are here, I will not use troops against Liaodong lightly. Queen Yao Li and the King of Liao worked hard in Liaodong, and I admired it very much. You go back and tell the queen and the king of Liao, stop attacking Goryeo and Dongxia, appease the people, and live a good life. When the time comes, I will ask the Great Song Sailor to send you to the sea, so as not to pass through Hebei and cause unnecessary trouble. ”
Zhao Hong said softly, humans and animals are harmless.
"The ministers have thanked the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
The envoys of the King of Liao saluted Zhao Hong together, all of them relieved.
The Great Song Dynasty is really a state of etiquette, unlike Mongolia, which will only bully, coerce and intimidate.
Yelu's uncle and nephew retreated, and Zhao Hong also sighed.
Liaodong is no longer restrained, and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains has no excuse for delay.
Of course, even if the Eastern Liao was restricted, he didn't care, the land and water army went directly north, and it was crushed and flattened.
Now, it is necessary to plan well to prepare for the Northern Expedition.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to be so polite to these Khitans?"
Dong Songchen couldn't help but asked softly on the side.
"The land of Liaodong is my homeland of China, and when the two rivers are recovered, Liaodong will naturally recover. If you still want to be the king of Liao at that time, hum ......"
Zhao Hong snorted coldly, his eyes were cold, and Dong Songchen's heart was cold.
The emperor is now growing in prestige, and his actions are thunderous, which makes him feel a little scared.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Gao Changguo has arrived."
Dong Songchen's voice came, and Zhao Hong smiled slightly.
You sing, we appear. The Song army broke the Mongol army in Hanzhong, and the ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods appeared one after another, disturbing one after another, and the world was simply not too exciting.
"Envoy of Gaochang Kingdom, meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Several Gaochang envoys dressed in the Western Regions came in, with black hats and long skirts, high noses and deep eyes, full of alien customs, and saluted Zhao Hong together.
Zhao Hong glanced at several envoys in surprise, one of them was tall and slender, with a fair complexion, a straight nose, long eyelashes and big eyes, which was obviously different from the Han people.
She turned out to be a complete beauty!
In contrast, although the man's facial features are three-dimensional, he is much darker and rougher.
"The prince of Gaochang, the jade bone Longchi, the princess Anar, the first-class envoy of the Gaochang Kingdom, has seen the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Anar stepped forward to salute, with a slender waist, a white complexion, and a full of exotic style.
The ministers all opened their eyes wide, attracted by the demeanor of Gaochang beauty.
"You are the children of the Vultures and the Protectors of Bal. You may be seated. ”
Gaochang was called a vulturer by the Mongols, and it is not known whether it has anything to do with Balshu being the fifth son of Genghis Khan.
The capital of Gaochang is not lost eight miles, a little north of Urumqi in later generations, at the throat of the Western Regions, where the Mongolian army must pass through the west, and of course it is also an important town for him to recover the Western Regions.
However, Don't lose eight miles away from Yumen Pass for nearly two thousand miles, and all the way is the desert Gobi, which is not so easy to recover.
"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the Fear of Wu'er is the Tatar name for my Gaochang Kingdom, my country is the Gaochang Kingdom, and I have been friends with the Great Song Dynasty since ancient times, and we have dealings with each other. The Son of Heaven is clear! ”
Anal said crisply, looking a little dissatisfied.
"Okay, envoys of Gaochangguo, in the spring of the year before last, your Gaochangguo invaded our Hexi, burned, killed and looted, and committed many crimes. Do you come here today to take the blame, or do you want to surrender? ”
Zhao Hong's sneer was in his eyes, and Anar and Jade Bone Long Chi both blushed. The two muttered a few words before Anal continued:
"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, my Gaochang Kingdom sent troops to the Great Song Dynasty as a last resort, and was forced by the Tatars. Moreover, the corpses of Ma Mura were also hung on the wall of the Yumen Pass, which was considered to be worth the merits. ”
"Offset by merit and demerit?"
Zhao Hong retorted with a sneer, and didn't seem to have the slightest idea of pity for the jade.
"Fighting on the battlefield, life and death are fateful. Slaughter the unarmed people, that's the beast! Why, if you kill your Mamura, I still have to apologize to you? What are you doing here? Let's go back early! ”
Zhao Hong waved his hand impatiently and made a gesture of sweeping the floor and going out.
Under the rule of these slave owners, the people suffered, and they were drunk and lascivious, and they had nothing to do with the Mongol army to bully other countries, and their lives were simply not too comfortable.
Translation, the brother and sister muttered a few words, the jade bone dragon was red-faced and red-eared, stood up, pulled his legs and left, and was pulled by Anar from behind.
The brother and sister argued a few more words, and the jade bone dragon red came back and sat down, with a black face and did not say a word.
"Get out of here! Do you really think that my Great Song cares about your worship? ”
Zhao Hong snorted coldly, stood up, and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves.
I've been in a bad mood these days, and it's even worse to see these unrepentant and fearful slave owners.
As for the beauty, it's just a pink skull, just look at it, can it still affect everything in the world?
"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I, Gaochangguo, have come all the way to meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and express the goodwill of my Gaochangguo. The Tatar army is mighty in the world, does my Gaochang country have a choice? Our people have repeatedly gone out with the Tatars, and the grain, cattle and sheep have been given to the Tatars, and the young men of the Gaochang Kingdom have suffered countless casualties, are we willing? ”
Anar shouted hurriedly, making Zhao Hong can't help but stop. He turned his head and looked at Anal until the other man was flustered.
"You're a good beauty. If you were the queen of Gaochang, the life of the people might be much better. You come from thousands of miles away, just have a good time in Lin'an City and relax. If you need anything, just look for me. ”
The visitor is a guest, and there is no need to be angry with the two teenagers. There are many injustices in this world, how many can he manage?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Anal changed her smiling face, she looked at the old man, and she was a little shy.
"Your Majesty, after visiting Lin'an City, we want to go to Jinling Lecture Hall to have a look, I wonder if Your Majesty can allow us to go together?"
Emperor Song called her a "beauty", which shows that he has a good impression of her.
"To Jinling? Think about it. ”
Zhao Hong nodded, noncommittal.
Jinling City, he does have a lot of things to do. However, he went to accompany this beauty from the Western Regions, and he was not in the mood yet.
He can't control it in front of beauty, he has already suffered from it. His harem duo is an example of this. Seeing the lust and confusion, he is already past that age.
