Who Masters the Ups and Downs (19)

Zhang Shaoying shook his head and said, "I don't have to know, it's enough to know the result." Xiaoyao said: "When there is no one in the rebellion of Taizu today, the Zongheng faction ascended to the heights and shouted, and the sects responded, which is a good time." Zhang Shaoying was puzzled and asked: "Who is the emperor?" Xiaoyao said: "Returning to the dynasty and the descendants of Taizu is the destiny of heaven." Zhang Shaoying sneered: "Shibei three days, I am not the past, you don't have to scare me with this." He said, "I only have three ways now, either to rebel, to ally with the imperial court, or to move the city and escape. Zhang Shaoying asked, "What do you want to do?" Xiaoyao said: "If you promise to help, I will rise up against the court." Zhang Shaoying said: "What if I don't agree?" Xiaoyao said: "Then there is only an alliance with the imperial court to temporarily keep Xiaoyao City peaceful." Zhang Shaoying said: "I think this is the best way. Xiaoyao said: "You should know that Xiaoyao City will definitely bring the Immortal Sect and the Instrument Sect with it, which will cause the cannibalism of the Hidden Sect, Zen Sect, and Taoism." Zhang Shaoying asked: "Attacking Yaozong, does the imperial court really have such determination?" Xiaoyao said: "I only know that now that the border is stable, Yaozong and Xiaoyao City cannot be hidden in the world, and there must be one of the two." Zhang Shaoying said in a deep voice: "The Zongheng faction is not my alone, I can't be the master." Xiaoyao smiled: "As long as you are the master, your mother-in-law will definitely agree." Zhang Shaoying said: "I have to go back and make a decision before I decide." Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply." Zhang Shaoying nodded and said: "In the future, you have to come to me in person, I am not your subordinate, how can I call for you." Xiaoyao couldn't help but laugh.

With such a situation in Xiaoyao City, Ji Lingshuang knew that something big had happened. Zhang Shaoying told everything, and the second daughter secretly sighed that this Lang Jun had acted no longer than that day, and she was quite pleased. Ji Lingshuang asked, "What do you think?" Zhang Shaoying sighed: "Life is ruined, this is not what I want to see." Ji Lingshuang shook his head and said, "Now there is no way out of Xiaoyao City. Zhang Shaoying asked: "If there is a rebellion, is there a chance of victory?" Ji Lingshuang said: "If there is a rebellion." With the current situation, there is a 50% chance of winning. Zhang Shaoying said disappointedly: "It's only fifty percent." Ji Lingshuang said: "Although the Seven Sects of Martial Arts have both wealth and power, they do not have an army, and the Song Ting has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which is not a small number." Zhang Shaoying asked: "It's too hasty, isn't it just falling for Song Ting's trick?" Ji Lingshuang said: "Not in his position." I don't know what to worry about, and there is no choice in Escape City now, and that's enough. Zhang Shaoying said suspiciously: "Can we be the master of the master?" Ji Lingshuang said: "If I want to do this, the master will not stop it." As long as it doesn't involve the Zongheng faction. Zhang Shaoying sighed: "This matter is too big. Ji Lingshuang said: "In fact, the most taboo thing in the Song Court is not that we hide one side, but that the Seven Martial Arts Sects do not recognize this Song Court, which is the key point. Zhang Shaoying was stunned for a moment, and in retrospect, the seven sects of martial arts were mostly called by Song Ting, which was the crux of the problem. couldn't help but suddenly realize, and said: "I really don't hear much about the dispute between Taizu and Taizong, so you can tell me about it." Ji Lingshuang said with a smile: "The imperial court has always been the old enemy of martial arts, and you have finally awakened." Zhang Shaoying could only smile bitterly, but he knew in his heart that his experience was too shallow, even if he didn't want to listen to these big things in the future. You have to try to listen to it yourself. Now that Ji Lingshuang has allowed him to use the horizontal net, he has long regarded himself as a person of the vertical and horizontal faction.

At the moment, Ji Lingshuang mutinied from Chenqiao. Zhao Kuangyin added a yellow robe, returned to the Zhou Dynasty, and established the Song Court without blood. Later, he pacified the rebellion against the Song court of the Luzhou Zhaoyi Army Jiedu envoy Li Yun, Yangzhou Huainan Jiedu made Li Chongjin, and then competed with the ten brothers of the Yishe major generals in the power competition to release the right to relieve the army, and the power of the forbidden army was returned to the emperor. Abolish the temple front division for five generations. The system of the two divisions of the guard department, the reduction of military power, the establishment of three offices, the Privy Council is in charge of the power of the army and the transfer of troops, and the generals are subject to the law of military change. Adopt a person with little qualifications to serve as the chief of the three ya. With the same level of affairs, the governor of the government is the chief and deputy prime minister, and the power of the minister since ancient times is dispersed. He also adjusted the strength of the envoys of each section of the Song court, and then abolished the post of the envoy of the festival by releasing the military power with a glass of wine, and solved the power of the feudal towns of the three hundred years since the Tang Dynasty. And each road set up a transit envoy to control the local finances, and unify the Great Song Dynasty coins, which were minted by the imperial court in a unified manner, and private minting was strictly prohibited. Its important commodities were sold by the imperial court, and private smugglers were punished with capital crimes, firmly grasping the state finances. And abolish the branch counties of the festival degree envoy for the past dynasties, that is, the festival degree envoy was originally a state festival, but often occupied the surrounding states, called the branch county, since then the festival degree envoy has only the right to travel in one state. And the civil officials were appointed as governors, and court officials were appointed as magistrates, weakening the power of appointment and dismissal. And let the state and county serve a three-year term to prevent the state and county from cultivating their own power, and at the same time set up a general judgment to weaken the rights of the state, colleagues with the state, and have the right to supervise the state. Set up a county lieutenant to maintain law and order in a county, arrest people but not cure people, and have Sikou join the army and civilian prisoners. The return of all military affairs to the imperial court greatly maintained the stability of the Song court. Then the snow night decided to determine the unification policy of first the south and then the north. With one stone and two eagles, he destroyed the Jingnan Gao clan and the Hunan Zhou clan, and cut off the road of communication between Houshu and the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Then the army sent to Shu, and destroyed the Shu Kingdom in 66 days. However, Wang Quanbin of the Northern Route Army and Liu Guangyi of the Eastern Route Army competed for merit and profit, robbing the people of Shu, and as a result, the states of Shu rebelled one after another, and this rebellion was not assessed until two years later, and the country of abundance has withered since then. And one of the most important things is that after the Shu rebellion, Wang Quanbin, the commander of the East Route Army, killed 27,000 soldiers in Chengdu. This order Shu personnel greatly reduced, the families lost their relatives, weeping for thousands of miles, especially among the 27,000 people, there are 7,000 old and weak, so far the people of Shu have always been dissatisfied with the imperial court, more than ten years ago also broke out Wang Xiaobo, Li Shunwang's rebellion, is to the Song court to Shu extremely harsh. Subsequently, Emperor Taizu taught his ministers to read, advocated civil and military practitioners, failed in two attacks on the Northern Han Dynasty, and then went south to destroy the Southern Han and Southern Tang Dynasty, stabilizing the south. Fourteen generals were stationed in the northwest, so that the northwest and northeast did not dare to commit crimes during the seventeen years of Taizu's reign.

However, Taizu died young, and after drinking with his brother Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi overnight, he died violently in the mystery of the sound of axes and candles. Emperor Taizong's brother and brother ascended the throne, creating a matter of eternity since the dynasty, and also carrying the suspicion of murdering his brother and usurping the throne. In particular, he forced Taizu's eldest son Zhao Defang to commit suicide, and two years later, Taizu's fourth son, Zhao Dezhao, died of illness at the age of 23, but the government and the opposition believed that it was related to Taizong's efforts to stabilize the government. Emperor Taizong's name was not right, and his younger brother Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin, also died of depression under the suppression of Emperor Taizong. Subsequently, Emperor Taizong suppressed Taizu's courtiers, vigorously promoted his cronies, frequently replaced Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and finally passed the throne to his son. Throughout the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, Taizu was prepared for danger in peace, strategized, swept the world, and was a generation of virtuous monarchs, and Emperor Taizong was ruthless, excluded dissidents, and said that he was not ashamed to seal Mount Tai, and it was a righteous thing to unify the world to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, but he was narrow-minded, lacked foresight, destroyed the city to vent his anger, and then built Taiyuan City, labored the people and lost money, and carried the infamy of killing his brother to death.

Zhang Shaoying has always had a bad impression of the imperial court, and when he listened carefully, he couldn't help but regret the early death of Emperor Taizu, and couldn't help but sigh: "Between powers, Emperor Taizu is weaker after all." Ji Lingshuang praised one and said: "It should be broken, brotherhood is just a floating cloud, and what about you?" Zhang Shaoying suddenly remembered Chen Yi Qingshu and them, maybe in this prosperous market, they will also be eroded by this prosperous world, thinking of this, Zhang Shaoying couldn't help but panic. Liu Yan also sighed: "If Emperor Taizu is alive, the clouds in the north, the party in the northwest, and the Tubo in the southwest may have already been pacified, and the Great Song Dynasty has been prosperous since then, and it can be prosperous in the Han and Tang dynasties." Ji Lingshuang shook his head and said: "They force the palace by force, so they no longer believe in military generals, and they would rather be with external troubles than national thieves, such a title is sad and helpless." ”

Zhang Shaoying nodded and said: "Yes, the death of Taizu is regretted by the world, I finally understand." Such contempt is far more terrible than the outright rebels. Ji Lingshuang nodded and said, "This is one of the important points of the disagreement between the DPRK and the military. If you ascend to the heights at this time, the Taizu Dynasty will definitely respond to the world, which is what the Song Court is most afraid of. Zhang Shaoying said regretfully: "Taizu has passed away, even if he is still a descendant, I am afraid it will be useless." Ji Lingshuang was quite approving, and said: "On the other hand, Taizu actually died, if the prince ascended the throne, he would be far less ruthless than Taizong." But Taizu, Taizong's rigidity and softness just laid the foundation for the Song Court. Speaking of this, Ji Lingshuang couldn't help but laugh silently. Zhang Shaoying was puzzled and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Ji Lingshuang said: "Do you remember the battle of the Gaoliang River?" Zhang Shaoying thought about it, but it was ridicule and helplessness. In the Song-Liao War of the Gaoliang River, once the monarch fled, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were still under the army. If it weren't for the tenaciousness and strength of the Song army, the Song court would have been bloodied and suffered huge losses. Liu Yan sighed: "Between the imperial power, we ordinary people only understand in our hearts. Zhang Shaoying said: "I think that being able to keep the people peaceful is far more important than imperial power." Ji Lingshuang shook her head with a smile and said: "The imperial power is unstable, and it will be driven down at any time, and you have to sit firmly for the country and the people." Zhang Shaoying asked: "Now that the government is clear, it should be considered stable, right?" Ji Lingshuang said: "Maybe you are right, ensuring the peace of the people on one side is far more valuable than war." Liu Yan said worriedly: "But the clouds are lost, and danger will come at any time." Ji Lingshuang nodded and said: "There are pros and cons to everything, national affairs, it's good for us to know, unless we also want to be emperors." Zhang Shaoying sighed: "In the past in Fox Mountain, no one dared to say such words. Ji Lingshuang said with a smile: "Being outside the radius is the ability." Mutual disobedience and mutual contempt are also the crux of the discord between the DPRK and the armed forces. Zhang Shaoying thought so, nodded and said, "I understand." (To be continued......)
