Lin'an, Zichen Palace

Well, Liu Chan finally couldn't resist the pressure to go to court.

I don't know what these court people got from there, saying that he is obsessed with beauty in the palace every day, and he has the potential to faint. So they ran outside the palace to admonish, and even worse, they couldn't kneel directly. There is also Zhao Ding, the left minister, who has to run to the palace every day after dealing with political affairs, wanting to see Liu Chan.

Liu Chan was really scared, if he was not careful, the ministers died, he couldn't believe what he could be scolded in the history books. Oh, yes, it's what Zhao Gou was scolded for.

Although the scholars of the Song Dynasty were not comparable to the Han Dynasty in terms of force, they were simply superior in terms of energy.

Liu Chan sat on the dragon chair sleepily, he hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, and he didn't even want to open his eyes. Looking at the noisy court, he deeply felt that he had to find a figure like his father, so that the voice of the court could be unified, and many things could be carried out in an orderly manner.

As for him, it's just like a small pendant next to his father, just lie flat.

Most of the things discussed in the court were the development of the south, and after the Song Dynasty moved south, it had already focused on the south. Although Zhao Ding had the heart to deal with the affairs of the north, he was always troubled by the affairs of the south and had no time at all.

Therefore, Zhao Ding hoped that Liu Chan could help him share government affairs and not enjoy himself in the palace all day long. After all, although Zhao Gou is a faint king, he still has the ability. It's a pity that it's Liu Chan now, and Liu Chan will only: Well, that's it. Zhao Xiang, you think it's okay. Yes, yes, Zhao Xiang is right. Zhao Xiang, you give an opinion. Zhao Xiang, come on, it's your turn.

Liu Chan's attitude saw that Zhao Ding was particularly angry, and when Zhao Gou opposed the Northern Expedition in the past, Zhao Ding also persuaded him not to negotiate peace, saying that as long as His Majesty supported the Northern Expedition, he would definitely be able to recover all the north. Now, looking at Liu Chan's attitude, Zhao Ding feels that this world is about to be destroyed.

Fortunately, because of Liu Chan's recent performance, the atmosphere in the court is much more relaxed. His Majesty gave an attitude, but without specific operations, the courtiers below were much more comfortable.

Wang Lun spoke up: "Your Majesty, now that there is barbarian turmoil in the south, it is better to order Yue Fei to stop the northern expedition and deal with the affairs in the rear." ”

Liu Chan nodded, feeling very reasonable. It is not safe in the rear, and it is dangerous to send troops to the front. Back then, Xiang's father also captured Meng seven times and was pacified before he swore to the Northern Expedition. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the sailors of the Song army are even more powerful, is this not an appropriate version of Wu Guo Zhou Yu.

However, Liu Chan looks down on Wu Guo a little, a country that can only backstab his teammates and does not seek to make progress is difficult for people to look down on. What's more, under the influence of Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan still attaches more importance to the north and the cavalry.

Zhao Ding saw that Liu Chan was a little moved, and admonished: "Your Majesty, Yue Fei is leading the army on the front line, once the war starts, how can it be easily stopped." ”

Liu Chan also felt that what Zhao Ding said also made some sense, and there was no reason to stop it. Moreover, the decision of the Northern Expedition was proposed by him, and it would be his mistake if he reversed it. But the south also needs to be pacified, and there must be no war on both sides. Liu Chan's head is big, and he begins to miss the days when his father was there.

The people in the court quarreled and quarreled, each with its own reason, and until the end of the early dynasty, they did not get a unified opinion. However, the sound of the truce still prevailed, after all, Han Shizhong was not in the court now, and the power of the main battle faction was incomplete.

In Liu Chan's small brain capacity, the two villains have been fighting. One is to advocate the development of the south and stabilize the current situation; One is to recover the north and restore the homeland of the Song Dynasty. Although Liu Chan also wants to make a decision today, it is a pity that the two villains are also indistinguishable from victory or defeat.

At this time, the Song Dynasty had not yet had a "unwarranted" injustice, and Qin Hui had not yet been able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition. At this time, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was at a demarcation point, one was the main battle faction led by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Zhao Ding, whose courtiers advocated giving priority to recovering the northern part of the Central Plains and rebuilding China; One is to give priority to the proposals of Qin Hui, Wang Lun and others to negotiate peace and develop the main peace faction in the south. The two sides are currently evenly matched, although the main and faction have always had the upper hand before, but since Liu Chan crossed over, the voice of the main battle faction has gradually become louder.

When Liu Chan returned to the harem, he couldn't be happy when he looked at the warbler Yanyan beside him. Ning Cairen brought a cup of hot tea to Liu Chan, then turned around behind Liu Chan and gently massaged his shoulder. While massaging, he said: "Your Majesty, why are you so bothered, you didn't even pay attention to the concubine coming." ”

"Concubine." Liu Chan grabbed Ning Cairen's hand and said with a sigh: "It's not a matter in the court, the ministers are divided into two factions, and the noise makes me upset. Or love the concubine intimately! ”

"Although the concubines are in the harem, they often hear about the affairs of the court." Ning Cairen's eyes rolled, obviously forgetting Liu Chan's warning before, she said quietly: "Now that the Jin country is powerful, why not negotiate peace with it first, and then make plans." ”

"Oh?" Liu Chan himself was an emperor who had no big opinions, and when he heard Ning Cairen's words, his heart moved slightly. "I didn't expect Concubine Ai to support peace with Jin Guo first, but it's difficult. After all, Yue Fei was still at war with the Jin State in the front, and at this time, Yue Fei probably would not agree, and this matter was too cold for the hearts of the border soldiers. ”

Liu Chan is not stupid, throughout the ages, the soldiers on the border are often the most capable of fighting. Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army, Lu Bu and his Bingzhou wolf horse, Gongsun Zan and his white horse Yicong, these are all people on the border. Whether it is external or internal, the war is simply a fierce batch.

Therefore, there was a lesson from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Chan did not dare to offend the military generals on the border. It was also because of this that even if the Lord and the faction were no longer satisfied, he still did not give an order for Yue Fei to stop the march.

At this time, the court had not yet received the news that Yue Fei had defeated Jin Wushu and recovered Shunchang.

"Yue Fei is not promoted by Your Majesty, as long as you make a holy decree, he will not obediently obey his orders. As for the soldiers on the border, it would be nice for the imperial court to give more compensation. ”

Liu Chan's thinking had not yet changed from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, so he could not understand how low the status of the Song Dynasty's military generals was. After all, there is a famous saying in the Han Dynasty that non-military merits are not crowned marquis. As long as you can fight, the prime minister can be yours.

"I have to think about this matter again." Liu Chan waved his hand, and there was no response.

Ning Cairen made another cup of tea for Liu Chan, and when the atmosphere eased a little, she said coquettishly: "The concubine has a younger brother who is outstanding in learning, and has always wanted to contribute to His Majesty, I don't know if His Majesty has a suitable position for him." ”

Liu Chan paused slightly with his wine glass, his eyes lit up, and the smile on his lips quietly hidden. Isn't the lesson of the Later Han Dynasty's demise because of the interference of foreign relatives in politics deep enough? Look at the later period of the Three Kingdoms, which country's relatives were in power, and the most capable general of the Cao Wei Xiahou family served in Shu, you dare to believe it!

"Then I don't know what advice Concubine Ai has?" Liu Chan consciously brought in Zhao Gou's identity again, and asked with a smile.

"The concubine doesn't know, but it's better to put him in the court as a petty official, and you can also help Your Majesty."

Liu Chan drank wine and didn't speak, and the junior officials in the court were also Beijing officials. Although there are only seven grades, power is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Okay, I'll think about it again." Liu Chan agreed, but it depends on his mood whether he can do it or not.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Ning Cairen said with a smile.

When no one was paying attention, Liu Chan sneered. However, he immediately returned to his normal appearance, drinking and having fun at the same time.
