"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

At the Great Court meeting on the first day of June, the court discussed about three major events. One was the arrangement for army expansion; the other was the plan for launching the second round of war in the Hezhong Mansion and the lower reaches of the Yellow River at the same time regardless of the heat, and the plan for launching the second round of war in the Bohai Sea. It was the establishment of six departments to supervise the discussions of the six departments...Finally, the imperial court also vaguely released the rumors of the official southern tour.

Among them, the first thing is still not optimistic.

The military commanders in different places felt that they should be expanding their troops. The local civilian officials also said that they should not come to the army again. The central officials in the court still insisted on opposing the further strengthening of the three towns in Kansai. That is, Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, and Wu Jie... Add on, and the military power of Kansai will be enough to overthrow the world.

But in this way, the military plan that has been discussed with the court is in contradiction-even if Zhao Jiu believes that Yue Fei is more reliable, everyone, including Yue Fei himself, will say that he will take Hedong and Hebei will go down, and Hebei will not be able to take Hebei. Guarantee.

The geographical conditions of northern China are there. The geographical advantages of Shanxi Province over Hebei Province are really condescending. No one can violate the laws of nature.

In this regard, Zhao Jiu even once considered whether or not to let Yue Fei move the town to the west. However, the problem is that most of the former exiles from Hebei in Yue Fei’s imperial army will serve. It is not impossible for them to fight in Hedong, but who will bear the burden of Hebei. The direction of the combat mission?

The most important thing is, where should the Hedong and Shanluo troops under Li Yanxian's command be placed? Do you want these people to drop Li Yanxian to take orders from Yue Fei?

Li Yanxian is not the same thing as Zhang Jun, and his subordinates are not the same thing as those of Yuying Youjun.

In the current situation, forcibly breaking the regional attributes of the group army will have an impact on the army's combat effectiveness far more than a major cleansing.

Of course, what Zhao Jiu didn’t know was that, in history, even Yue Fei’s own Northern Expedition had first collected the Shaanxi and Luoyang Rebels and then tried to get together on the Taihang Mountains. However, Dong Xian and Niu Gao were the generals under Li Yanxian who were active in Shanluo. At that time, it was the'external sample' who enjoyed a special status under Yue Fei's command.

But the problem is that in that time and space, not only did the officers and soldiers from the east of Shaanluo River not have a Li Yanxian on their heads, even the leaders like the Zhai brothers died early, and also because of the evil deeds done by Qu Duan plus Fu Ping. The battle had nothing to do with the Western Army...So in that case, the heroes and righteous men who insisted on resisting the gold, did not take refuge in Yue Fei, who set up a base in Hubei, and seemed to have nowhere to go.

This is the situation. The geographical features of the north are not human-sharpable, and the general group of generals formed in the army based on the region and the military and political situation after Jingkang is basically unshakable:

The former army of the imperial camp is an army composed of the Hebei exiled military group and the Tokyo left-behind division. The desire for the Northern Expedition is the strongest, and the former military capital, Yue Fei, is the leader of the exiled military officers in Hebei and the successor of the Tokyo left-behind division.

Li Qiong, who has not become a Jiedu envoy, is the number two figure in this group. He is also an exiled military officer in Hebei and one of the orthodox heirs of Zongze. His ability to rise has the tacit results of the court and Yue Fei, but he His army was not directly separated from the Tokyo Left-behind Division or Yue Fei, but from the Hebei Eight-character Army of Wang Yan, who had a feast with Yue Fei...This army itself cannot belong to Yue Fei, otherwise there will be a mess.

In fact, Wang Yan went to the local area for a while and then transferred to the center. On the surface, there are many sayings, but in private, some people still say directly that it is the result of the choice between the court and the Zhao official family between this person and Yue Fei.

Li Yanxian was the head of the Shaanluo River East Rebellion Army, and the Zhai nephew was a semi-independent franchisee of this group. But it is worth mentioning that the basic army that Li Yanxian regained in Shanzhou that day was the remnant army after the defeat of the Western Army earlier. .

Wu Jie Wu Lin brothers are the most orthodox successors of the remnants of the Western Army, and the imperial army is also a unit adapted from the traditional structure of the Western Army.

Qu Duan and the Imperial Cavalry were newly established units, but due to the problem of soldiers, they had broken bones and tendons with the Western Army.

And Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Wang De, and the Imperial Left Army, Right Army, and Chinese Army they led...Although they all have the characteristics of the Western Army, they have another outstanding common point, that is, they are from the beginning. Follow the army of Zhao Guan's family in exile and fleeing.

Han Zhang didn't say that Wang De and his subordinates were basically Liu Guangshi's old tribe, and these three together, just in line with the initial imperial foundation.

Things in this world are so troublesome. The mountain tops of the army, the personal name of the general, the geographical characteristics of the army composition, and the interest groups formed in the area where the army is stationed...all aspects are right and wrong. You have to make some trade-offs and make some decisions. Idea, and then make some people happy, make some people resent.

It's just that this time things are particularly troublesome.

The expansion of the army is still undecided...Of course, this is also related to the lack of urgency. After all, at this time, the first round of army expansion plan at the beginning of last year has not been fully implemented, and the new plan is at the very least. We have to wait until the end of this round.

As for the rounds, there is nothing left to say.

First, the Zhao official family has never placed the decision-making power under military operations, and North Korea and China naturally lack the right to speak; second, since the strange but taken for granted Song-Jin trade was carried out in various strange ways, the economic leeway of the Song Dynasty’s finances actually far exceeds. Courtiers, including the imagination of Zhao Guan's family.

This thing is a financial category that no one had thought of before, but in fact it is extremely in line with economic laws and has a huge amount of money.

In fact, looking back on the wealth construction business of more than a year before, you will find that the Songjin luxury goods trade, the Sino-Japanese precious metal trade, the Guangyue ruler cloth bucket rice trade, the Dali mineral trade, the Western Silk Road trade...and these trades. Compared with the benefits brought by the agreement, the officials of Zhao and the courtiers racked their brains to make those things that seem to be financial innovations, but in fact they are nothing more than a fisherman, and they are not enough to look at!

How do you say that sentence?

Globalization and free trade are the only way out in the twelfth century, and financial innovation is a dead end.

As far as the current situation is concerned, when money and food gradually appear to be no problem, military operations will become a matter of course. This matter, almost by default, was passed quickly.

There are also the establishment of six subjects. To tell the truth, the key point of the discussion on this matter is a bit beyond Zhao Jiu's expectations.

Originally, Zhao Jiu thought that although the matter was brought up by Lin Jingmo, Shangshu from the Household Department, the other Shangshu might not agree with it, because this kind of thing is obviously beneficial to the control of the six departments...but unexpectedly. The Sixth Department did not have much objection, but a fierce dispute broke out over the issue of who controls this new supervision department.

The provinces, the Privy Council, and the Yushitai have cited scriptures and allusions, believing that they are under their own control.

Stalemate for a while.

Of course, this is Zhao Jiu’s ignorance again... Historically, the establishment of the six departments and related evaluation and supervision systems for central officials was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was really unknown, and the cabinet was only the emperor’s secretary team in name. According to Hanlin Bachelor, but the six departments are long-term real power departments, so there has always been a dispute between the cabinet and the department.

But as far as the Song Dynasty is concerned, it is exactly the opposite. From the political tradition of the Song Dynasty, there is no doubt that the political status of the ruler is undoubtedly, and the six departments did not have a few years of hard work to obtain real power.

That's why the current situation arises-Liu Bu itself has no objections, but in fact there is a mess between the Dongxi Erfu, which owns the ruler, and the Yushitai, which is almost half the ruler.

This is something that must be resolved before the southern tour.

But compared to the expansion of the army, things should be very simple... After sorting out, Zhao Guanjia can just say a word.

Finally, it was the southern tour. There was nothing to say about this matter. At the Great Court meeting, the method proposed by Hanlin scholar Lu Benzhong Shangshu was a bit of a disadvantage to everyone... There was no fierce opposition to the proposal.

In this way, after a lot of caress and mess, after the dispersal of the court, the ministers could not help but turn their minds back to their respective affiliations.

At this time, the Minister of Engineering Zuo Long Ruyuan, who had just returned to the public housing, was surprised to find that the provincial transfer clerk in his case and the Zhao official's request that he strictly investigate the will of the chief envoy behind the trend of Hu Yin's unfilial piety.

The decree was fierce, and in the end, the imperial strokes of the Zhao official’s "Cangzhou Zhao Jiu", plus the solemn seal of the emperor, and the outer layer where the decree and documents were attached, were all left and right.

Goulong Ruyuan certainly knew what this meant—it meant that this decree represented the will of the empire's supreme power.

The imperial power, and the only top representative of the bureaucracy that may impose a slight restriction on imperial power in name, have reached agreement on this issue.

The afternoon of June's hot summer season may be the hottest time of the year, and the wind in the air is hot.

The former Minister of Engineering Zuo and the current Dali Temple Qing Goulong Ruyuan sat in his own public room. First he jumped down and sweated, then hesitated and paced back and forth, and finally he was motionless after his whole body was cold. …As smart as he is, how do you not know that your actions have been exposed?

However, even so, it took the new Dali Siqing a full afternoon to force himself to recognize the reality, because he did not dare to admit that Zhao Guanjia wanted to kill him.

This conclusion is too sensational.

The sun was sinking to the west, and in the depths of the street, a bell suddenly rang in the Daxiangguo Temple, which not only announced the low value of the officials on both sides of the royal street, but also made Goulong Ruyuan, who had been thinking about it for a long time in the public house, reacted—he Throwing aside the will, force myself out of the public house with reason, first came to the public house somewhere under the porch opposite, summoned He Zhu, the right servant of the Ministry of Engineering, and then went into the office together under the gaze of the subordinates of the Ministry of Engineering. The public house in the middle of the courtyard.

This public house has always been open for entry and exit, because he is the public house of Hu Yin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Hu Mingzhong did not hear the bell sound and meant to go home directly. At this moment, he raised his head from the table full of documents, and first glanced at the pale white Goulong Ruyuan. There was no movement at all, and he looked down at the table again. After signing a name on the paper, he looked up again.

But this time, he saw He Zhu, who was obviously suspicious, who was following Gou Long Ruyuan, and he bowed his body slightly as a courtesy.

In the public room, a few clerks who had packed their things quickly placed two chairs on the opposite side of Hu Shang's desk, and then they knew that they were going home. For a time, there were only three officials sitting around a table in the public room.

Hu Yin didn't change his expression, but just sat down and looked at the two people in front of him; He Zhu was puzzled for a moment, so he took his eyes to look at the Goulong Ruyuan who had summoned him.

The pale-faced Goulong Ruyuan groaned for a while, and then slowly said: "Hu Shangshu, the official has a will to let the subordinates transfer to Dali Temple to investigate the case of your false accusation... The official means, this case There must be a person like Wang Ciweng who secretly instructed him to get the officials out, and then severely punished them."

He Zhu was stunned. He knew in his heart why Goulong Ruyuan wanted to call himself, but he didn't know for a moment whether he should congratulate Goulong Ruyuan, or express empathy to Hu Yin, or perhaps. It's time to make a few comments on the case.

In the end, the right servant of the Ministry of Engineering simply went to look at Hu Yin and Hu Shangshu without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yin still didn't change his expression, but slightly nodded... Obviously, just like He Zhu thought, this official's confidant, who is not hesitating to defile him, must have known this matter a long time ago.

But at the next moment, Gou Long Ruyuan made He Shilang completely stop thinking: "There is no need to investigate this case, because someone said in front of the Fujian scholars that Hu Shangshu and Liu Mianzhi had a grievance, it was not someone else who had a grievance with Liu Mianzhi. , And the lower official really wanted to expel Hu Shangshu out to see if he could go further."

He Zhu was stunned on the spot, but Hu Yin didn't have any extra reaction, just nodded slightly: "I know."

Goulong Ruyuan groaned a little, but then sighed slightly in response: "Have Hu Shangshu read the "Book of Rites"?"

He Zhu just came back to his senses, and then he was stunned again...what are these words?

But Hu Yin still didn't change his face: "I read it when I was six."

"There is a saying in "Ritual": Fulu has the beginning. And my father also quoted the words of "Liezi" when he lectured: the beginning of the primordial person, the beginning of the qi... Hu Shangshu should know the meaning of this'chu', right?" Gou Long Ruyuan continued to inquire seriously.

"Knowing, it means that everything has a cause and a beginning." Hu Mingzhong was still calm.

From then on, He Zhu, who was completely confused, wisely gave up his intention to interrupt, and sat there to listen to the conversation between the two.

"Hu Shangshu, before knowing the truth that'everything must have a beginning', Xiaguan spent more than ten years in the prefecture and county..." Goulong Ruyuan responded. "Obviously doing things seriously, and clearly trying to figure out the meaning of the top, but always because of this and that cannot be stretched, but often sinks to the bottom. Later, as I grow older, I gradually figured out this truth. Although it was later because of Jingkang. The change is constrained by the overall situation, and it is still impossible to get up and down for a while, but after all, the true meaning of the situation can be glimpsed, and it will not be muddled."

Hu Yin looked at the other party, and was serious again: "Is this'chu' so powerful?"

"Everything must have a beginning. If you can act according to the'beginning' of things, then things will always be very simple. On the other hand, if you don't understand where and what the true'beginning' of things is, you will definitely fall into trouble. ."

Gou Long Ruyuan ignored the opponent's ridicule, but became more and more disappointed. "From a trivial point of view, the beginning of the Quanzhou Fansi case that day was that the officials had long shown an attitude of being wary of the Fanshang, and were unwilling to give them royal papers and flags. It is ridiculous that the other officials thought that the court would tolerate the traitors for the sake of a little business tax. But I never thought that the official's temper was always the same. From the overall point of view, the beginning of the court was the change of Jingkang... With this'beginning', it is natural to understand why the old and new parties no longer exist in the court personnel. It is a battle, offense and defense, and a rapid battle; it is natural to realize why the official family and the two supreme emperors have such a disagreement; to understand better, why the court's political affairs are all in the battle of Song and Jin."

"Not bad." Hu Yin nodded immediately. "What you said makes sense... Since the founding of Yanyan, the roots of the changes in national politics, ethos, and personnel are all in Jingkang. This is the case of Fansi in Quanzhou, and it is also the origin of your glimpse of thousands of miles away."

"Also, why is the battle between the battles? The offensive and defensive is the offensive? The rapidity is the emergency? In fact, there are also'early'." Gou Long Ruyuan raised his left hand, and his right hand pulled up the fingers of his left hand, one by one. Speaking seriously, also did not relax a little because of the other party's approval. "If your Majesty succeeded to the throne, this is the first ‘early’. He won the throne by accident. He has to fight to get his name justified, and he has to undergo violent changes, so he often makes extraordinary actions...

"Huaishang guarding is the second ‘early’ period. Once a little bit of resistance to Jurchen’s exhaustion, even knowing Jurchen is also able to do its best. It may not be possible to fail to guard the greatness of China..."

"Moving to Nanyang is the third'beginning', which shows that inside and outside of the country will never seek peace, and would rather die than yield..."

"Returning to Tokyo is the fourth'early', the Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty are not dead..."

"Yaoshan's desperate death is the fifth'beginning', making the world know that China still has something to do..."

"From the beginning to the beginning, after reaching Yaoshan, the general trend of the Northern Expedition is unchangeable. It is ridiculous that some people want to descend, want to make peace, want to defend, want to slow down, but don't know, things are already doomed." Gou Long Ruyuan Put away the palms used for counting and shook your head in agreement. "From then on, Xiaguan has no scruples, so that everything can be done with a central plan... Therefore, the transfer is smooth... However, Xiaguan knows that this is the beginning of the beginning and the beginning of the official family. 'Where is it, but it's still fascinating, and doing this kind of thing is just as ridiculous!"

"What are you trying to say?" Hu Mingzhong finally became impatient.

"Xiaguan wants Hu Shangshu to tell the officials a few things..."

"Speaking."

"First, you know about the country's great politics when you get off the official ranks. Once you do this nasty thing, you really have lost your eyes on the desire for power, and you hope that the official will be able to keep a little bit of an official's usefulness."

Hu Yin didn't say a word, but just looked at the other party coldly, and even He Zhu, who was next to him, couldn't help but squinted to look at this colleague.

"Secondly, the establishment of six departments is necessary, but the focus should be placed on the supervision and assessment of the six departments, rather than monitoring and prying people's hearts...because I am just a villain who has only been in Beijing for more than a month, It is very common for the court to overlook me and fail to see me. Please don't just suspect that the central official has deteriorated so quickly."

Hu Yin finally nodded, but his expression remained the same: "I will definitely enter the official's house in this matter."

"The third." Gou Long Ruyuan continued to face each other seriously. "The establishment of the six subjects is the continuation of Taiwan's remonstrance. It was in the Jianyuan at the beginning of the system and should be attributed to the Yushitai."

Hu Yin finally calmed down.

"Fourth, it is right for officials to go to the south of the Yangtze River, because the local people's heart is the real beginning, but once you go to the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to hold the power of thunder instead of the heart of rain and dew. It’s better to look at the wild fields of the country when you look at the famous cities and counties; instead of looking at the commercial, tax and minerals, it is better to look at the land for labor...

"Is the string behind this also ‘early’ knowledge?" Hu Yin finally said.

"Yes." Goulong Ruyuan leaned slightly to face him. "The former is the end, the latter is the beginning... If you can follow the beginning, you don't have to care about the end!"

"Then the'early' of your remarks is actually the first one?" Hu Mingzhong asked calmly.

Gou Long Ruyuan was silent for a moment, and nodded to each other: "Yes... But for the official family, for the court, the beginning of the lower official is only the end. The end of the lower official may be the beginning of the official... please Hu Shangshu The armguard conveyed the words of the officer."

"I will go to see the official with He Shilang." Hu Mingzhong was silent for a while and got up to be right. "I have never forgotten since I was a child, and I will not change a word of your words. He Shilang will testify as you wish... Are you waiting here or going home?"

He Zhu fully understood and quickly got up.

And Goulong Ruyuan thought for a while, and got up and eagerly handed over: "The next official is here."

Hu Yin nodded, and left the public house together with He Zhu who said nothing.

After going there for about half an hour, He Zhu did not come back, and Hu Yin did not come back either, but it was the big ban Lan Gui who led a few imperial squads straight to the Ministry of Industry Compound... The latter was facing the whole body as soon as he entered the Shangshu Gongfang. The trembling Goulong Ruyuan simply said:

"Guardian's word: Since Gou Longqing knew that I was in the beginning, he should also know that I have always liked to be reckless and want to leave the beginning to the end."

After that, the ward of the Ministry of Internal Servant turned and left without looking back, leaving only Goulong Ruyuan completely silent in the room...Where did he not know, and his last struggle was not successful?

However, Goulong Ruyuan still had a bit of desire to survive. On this day, he waited in the public house until dark, hoping that Yu Hu Yin and He Zhu could come back and talk to him.

However, until it was dark, it couldn't be darker, but no one returned, and Goulong Ruyuan could only turn home desperately under the direct gaze of the two princes in front of the door.

Returning to the new house issued by the court, the new Dali temple magistrate called his wives, concubines, and children, and bluntly said that he was short-lived, but to separate the national debt, gold and silver deposited in the family, and let these people go out tomorrow morning. Returning to the hometown of Sichuan and Shu... But when the next day dawned, the wives, concubines and children were driven out by servants, hiding their faces and leaving. Goulong Ruyuan wanted to die several times for dignity, but couldn't start several times.

In the end, he could only be trapped at home and wait to die.

He really sits and waits for death... On this day, He Zhu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, went to the Capital Province, Privy Council, Yushitai, and the Ministry of Justice in order to present evidence in public, saying that Dali Temple Qing Goulong Ruyuan trapped colleagues, separated the monarchs and ministers, and criticized too much. The Taoist emperor, separated from the heavenly family, deceived the monarch, and the sin is not forgiven.

The court was in an uproar.

Because it was Dali Siqing who committed the crime, he was directly transferred to the Criminal Ministry for disposal. In the afternoon, two criminal officials and two jailers came to Goulong Mansion and directly took Goulong Ruyuan out of the mansion and sent him to the Penal Ministry prison.

The so-called taking a secret cabinet minister is like holding a chicken and a dog.

At this moment, the government and the public were in an uproar.

It was a matter of great importance, and no one dared to neglect it. Only after another day, Shang Shu Ma Shen of the Criminal Ministry took Yu Shi Zhong Cheng as his testimony, with three Yu Shi as his witnesses, he opened the meeting in person for questioning, and summoned Shang Shu Hu Yin and Shi Lang He Zhu on the spot. , And the detained Fujian villagers, compare them with'inference (investigation and interrogation)'.

After receiving the correct confession, before noon, they were directly served in triplicate, and they were delivered to Yushitai, the capital, and the Privy Council and transferred to the imperial court.

The Zhao official’s family kept on for a while, and immediately approved:

"Goulong Ruyuan hides malice, deceives the monarch with selfishness, traps colleagues, and brings troubles to the country. There is no such thing as a man of ministers, fellowship, or official position. There is no such person! In this war, Should be marching law, chase down the text from birth, make a decision!"

The reply was quickly transferred back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while the capital and the Privy Council directly added the seals of the East and the West to the approved documents, as if dealing with some ordinary purpose.

At the same time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com obviously hesitated for a while after hearing the news of the official’s approval from the officials on the Yushitai who had no knowledge of the reaction from Chongwenyuan, and only then held an internal meeting in Wutai. It was only in the evening that a consensus was reached, suggesting that Zhao Guan's family should take the matter to the next court meeting for public discussion.

Immediately, Li Guang personally took the document into Chongwenyuan, found the Privy Council, and asked the duty officer to transfer the document to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow morning.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, when the only document that publicly refuted the official’s will was still in the process, a team of imperial squads went directly to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. First, they showed all the legal documents and paralyzed the goulong into a mess. Ruyuan pulled out, carried it to the Xuande building, and then announced the crime in public. Then one person held it down and the other swung a knife, just like killing the imperial horse here before, and directly beheaded the secret pavilion the day before.

When Shangshu Ma Shen and Yu Shi Zhongcheng Li Guang learned the news, they hurried to the scene hand in hand, but were shocked to find that even the blood on the ground had been washed away at this time, only the horse's head that had rotted to the point of bones. Hanging upstairs in Xuande, and being blown by the wind, it hummed for a while.

I was still discussing whether to make Goulong Ruyuan's "being far away and not forgiving" the two people also completely silent.

A few days later, the imperial court issued the conclusion of the discussion between the official and the governor through internal documents and Di Bao. The establishment of six subjects was intended for assessment, not for supervision, and was accepted by the Yushitai Jianyuan.

A few days later, just as the frontline launched another round of battle, the Di Bao published another will of Zhao Guan’s family, which said, “Everything must have a beginning. The beginning of the imperial court’s revival was not in the Central Plains, not in the military, but in the south of the Yangtze River. In Shimin'... the official family will set off in July, leading a 1,500 imperial squad straight, two thousand imperial cavalry troops, and patrolling Jingxiang and Southeastern, and will entrust state affairs to the governors and secret pavilions.
