Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

It is even more nonsense to pursue the title of Mrs. Chong Shidao. The wife of Chong Shidao has been dead for decades. It just shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Chong Shidao, and it has no practical effect.

However, Zhao Ji had to admire the political wisdom of this old guy, Zheng Juzhong. Indeed, even if the awards were awarded too much at once, what should he do if others also made meritorious deeds, so he nodded and said, "Zheng Xiang is right, Ready!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, as for Yue Fei, the old minister thought it was an exceptional promotion. He was only nineteen years old and he was already He Shuo's appeasement envoy, general, and a third-rank officer. The old minister felt that it was not appropriate to award too many awards again." Zheng Juzhong continued.

It's just that Zong Ze was unwilling at this time, he inserted a sentence, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have been punished, you can make everyone work hard for the country, otherwise the rewards and punishments are not clear, I am afraid that some people will slack off. what……"

It was obvious that Zong Ze wanted to speak for the generals, and it was over, but Yue Fei was a new star of the generals, so he certainly wanted to support him.

Li Gang also stood up at this time, "Your Majesty, what Master Zong said makes sense. 99

Everyone thought that Li Gang was agreeing with Zong Ze's opinion, which was a little strange, because Li Gang was a representative of the civil service. Could there be some mystery?

Sure enough, Li Gang turned around and said, "But, as Lord Zheng said, Yue Fei is young after all, and if he receives too many awards, he may become arrogant! Even now, your Majesty has given Yue Fei too much authority, right? Without the consent of our Privy Council. , he will be a private soldier, and be punished according to the law!

Well, not only will the reward not be awarded, but also the guilt!

This made many generals feel uncomfortable for a while.

However, Li Gang is not that kind of obscure official. He said this just as a means. Without waiting for others to refute, he continued, "Of course, this time Yue Fei has made meritorious deeds.

Although Li Gang was a clean and honest official, the contradiction between civil and military was unavoidable, and Li Gang was indeed for the sake of the Song Dynasty. In his opinion, military generals must be well controlled, at least such generals who do not obey orders are very dangerous.

In addition to Li Gang, there are also ministers who have different opinions. They are worried that this will make the Jin Kingdom furious. "Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom has a fierce momentum. Although they lost for a while, we cannot underestimate them. Now Yue Fei and the others have killed so many soldiers of the Jin Kingdom. , even if Wanyan Zongwang is dead, how can the Jin Kingdom just let it go? If they raise troops to attack, will they be ruined?"

It was Yu Shen who was speaking. This guy used to be the young master of the crown prince. His official residence was from the second rank. He used to be related to Cai Jing, but he later impeached Cai Jing. After Zhao Ji killed Cai Jing, he set things right and Yu Shen came back.

Zhao Ji said calmly, "Oh, so what does Yu Aiqing mean?"

Yu Shen was worried, he did not think the Song Dynasty would be able to defeat the Jin Kingdom, "Your Majesty, the ministers thought that we should negotiate with the Jin Kingdom, the two countries are bounded by the Great Wall, and they will not invade each other in the future. It's better not to fight!""

There are many others who have the same thoughts as Yu Shen, and they all agree with him.

Most of the civil officials in the Song Dynasty were weak, especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty, that is, now, they were oppressed by the Liao Kingdom for a long time, which caused their inner insecurity. It is better to take advantage of the victory to negotiate terms with Jin Guo, lest the Jin soldiers attack in large numbers in the future, and it will be too late to regret it.

Zhao Ji is a little sad to see this situation, what the hell, how pessimistic should these people be to say this?

Slap, Zhao Ji slapped the table, "Ridiculous! 35

With an anger, Zhao Ji sounded angry. Those ministers shivered immediately, and knelt down quickly, "Your Majesty, calm down, but the ministers are all for the sake of the Song Dynasty, please think again, Your Majesty!

"Think twice," Zhao Ji got angry, "the soldiers in the front blew their blood and finally regained the land, shouldn't they be rewarded? Shouldn't they be recognized for their merits for the country? No matter what I did in the past, I am now Rewards and punishments must be clearly defined, and whoever contributes to the country's society must be rewarded;

"The decree," Zhao Ji said. Naturally, there were special personnel to prepare. He said, "Chong Shidao has fought against the golden soldiers, has made great achievements in recovering the country, and will reward one hundred taels of gold and one hundred pieces of silk. Your Ma'am!"

"Yue Fei was loyal and patriotic, recovered a large area of ​​the country, killed 40,000 enemies, made it a Zhuguo, rewarded a thousand taels of gold, a thousand horses of cloth, and a Zhuguo mansion!"9

"All dead soldiers are upgraded to three levels, and their pensions are doubled!

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zongze handed over in admiration.

When a large group of people saw that His Majesty had made up his mind, they all began to shout, "Your Majesty is holy!"

Li Gang and others in the Privy Council actually opposed the actions of Yue Fei and Chong Shidao.

"Master Li, if everyone is like them, what role does our Privy Council have?" Li Gang's deputy complained very much.

In the past, whether it was the mobilization of troops or the mobilization of food and forage, they were inseparable from the Privy Council, and they could not take any action if they did not agree. Moreover, their Privy Council will also formulate a battle plan, so that the generals will act according to the plan they discussed, and they are not allowed to go against Wo.

But now, His Majesty has given Yue Fei the power to act cheaply, and the military action has not been approved by the Privy Council. If it is said that fighting the 40,000 Golden Soldiers is still helpless, but now it is going to attack Juyongguan, this is actually a first kill and then a performance. Moreover, His Majesty has agreed, and the transfer of food and grass is all unacceptable, and there is simply nothing about their Privy Council...

Li Gang was also a little worried. He was worried that it would be detrimental to the society of the Song Dynasty in the long run. He said that he must find a time to communicate with His Majesty. It seems that His Majesty is too hopeful to recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun, and instead ignores some potential dangers...

Although Li Gang knew that his words might make His Majesty unhappy, but as a Privy Council member, he had to be loyal to the country, so he decided to have a good talk with His Majesty.

But within a few days, they all heard that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda, had actually died!

Hearing this news, Zhao Ji was very happy.

Wanyan Aguda was the founding emperor of the country. Although this Jin Taizu was friendly to the Song Dynasty, it was not a good thing for the Song Dynasty to lead the Jin Dynasty to develop rapidly. It's a pity that Wanyan Sheng of Jin Guo is not a fool, and Wanyan Sheng is full of ambitions for Song Dynasty, and wants to destroy Song Dynasty.

It is now October 1122. The original time when the Jin Kingdom attacked the Song Dynasty was 1126, but because Zhao Ji promoted Yue Fei ahead of schedule, something changed. Originally, Wanyan Sheng ascended the throne in 1123, but now it has come earlier.
