Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Ji was thinking.

It has been three months since I first arrived in the Song Dynasty. When I first came, it was February, and now it is literally May. During these three months, a lot of things happened.

First, Cai Jing and Wang Hao and other treacherous officials were dispatched to the army, and then Li Gangzhong and other famous generals were appointed. Yes, Chaogang suddenly became clear and bright.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry has also begun to implement standardization, and Zhou Yue, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has done a good job. Although there was some resistance at the beginning, he didn't dare to let go of the courage to deal with it, but after Zhao Ji dismissed the two officials, there was no more resistance, and the voice of doubt disappeared suddenly.

After normalization, the response was good. All artisans quickly recognized the benefits of standardization.

Of course, the industrial level of the Song Dynasty was very low, and it had not yet started. It can only be said that handicraftsmen appeared. Whether it's standardization or whatever, the resistance is still relatively low, and the benefits will increase.

Song Jiang and others in Liangshanbo have already surrendered, oh no, this is called Zhao'an, who recruited the opponent into the army, and is now led by Zhong Shidao. Chong Shidao sent Song Jiang and the others to the border with Liao, but he also gave Song Jiang the position of a cavalry officer, a sixth-rank officer, which was much bigger than being a county official before. And he also promised that as long as he made meritorious deeds, he would be promoted to rank.

Not only Song Jiang, but also gave some of his subordinates official positions, so that they can work hard!

In fact, many people in the imperial court were on guard against Song Jiang and the others, guarding against their own generals, not to mention those rebels like Song Jiang. Zhao Ji took good care of them, so that those people were not oppressed.

Originally things were all on the bright side, but now trouble is coming, and it's super troublesome!

That is, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom came, and Zhao Liangsi also sent someone to bring a secret letter, of course, to discuss the joint expedition of Liaoning. Tomorrow is the day when the envoy of the Jin Kingdom will meet the emperor. Zhao Ji urgently summons the ministers to start a discussion on what to do.

When I came to the back garden, it was completely controlled by the Imperial Forest Army, and no birds were allowed to come over.

When Zhao Ji came here, those important officials had already arrived.

The courtiers saluted as usual, and Zhao Ji waved them to sit down.

This is not on the court, so it is more casual. Of course, today's matter is more important, and it still needs to be recorded and analyzed, and everyone's faces have lost the smiles of the past.

"All the nobles are the pillars of the country. I called you here today for the envoy of the Jin Kingdom. Although we have already negotiated before, we cannot join forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack Liao, but now that the Jin Kingdom messenger is coming, how do we respond? Is it better?" The summoner looked at the ministers, and now he is a little undecided.

If he refused directly, he would immediately turn against the other party. According to Da Song's current situation, he really couldn't stop the other party. It's not appropriate to promise, you can't consume your own strength in this area!

The ministers obviously also knew the stakes involved. Now that there are no traitors such as Wang Hao, the power of the Lord Harmony faction has been greatly weakened.

But there are also people who advocate the alliance with Jin Guo, but they do not dare to say it. What they are discussing today is how to conceal and reply better, and it does not involve joining with Jurchen at all.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better for us to drag it out if the other party can't stand it!" Master Zhong laughed, the old guy was thick-skinned.

But Zhao Ji liked it and praised, "Yes, this is a way. But we have already signed a covenant, and the face is a bit ugly!"

"Haha, Your Majesty, who cares about matters between countries? As long as we, the Great Song Dynasty, are safe and peaceful, I never consider such things as face!" Chong Shidao didn't care, he was old anyway. , what others say, only listen.

This remark attracted a burst of laughter, and they all praised.

Li Gang said at this time, "Your Majesty, since we already have a covenant, we should abide by it. Of course, we just don't work hard, and we won't be able to beat the Liao Kingdom. This Jurchen can only say that we are incompetent, and there will be no excuses. attack us?"

Hey, these words made Zhao Ji's eyes light up, "Well, that's a good idea. We all know that Da Song's combat effectiveness is low, and I believe the other party will understand!"

Zhao Ji's words made the generals look very ugly, but they had nothing to refute. When fighting against the Liao Kingdom, the more you lose, the less you win. Although there are various factors, but losing is losing!

Seeing the gloomy faces of Master Zhongdao and their faces, Zhao Ji knew that he had just said the wrong thing, and he laughed, "I'm not talking about everyone present, it was the reason for me to defeat the battle in the past, but you can rest assured in the future, I will definitely give it to me. You have enough power."

These words made the eyes of all the generals light up, but the civil servants frowned, and couldn't help but be very worried, worried that the generals would be difficult to control.

"Your Majesty, I think you should be cautious, and I hope Your Majesty can follow the ancestral system!" Li Gang said immediately, anyway, to remind Zhao Ji that he should not relax his control over generals.

Zong Ze snorted coldly with a displeased look on his face.

Zhao Ji waved his hand and stopped the two parties from talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we need the time now and try our best to develop. Our soldiers need training, our troops need time to mobilize, and the preparation of war materials has not been completed! It's not that we are afraid of the Jurchen, maybe we are now It is not an opponent of Liao or Jurchen, but there is no problem in defending our country."

Of course, Zhao Ji, as the emperor, can't say anything disheartening. If the emperor is no longer in the mood to resist, can he still expect his ministers to die?

Taking a look around these ministers, they were all people that Zhao Ji believed more, and Zhao Ji only expressed some inner thoughts in front of them.

"We just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. No matter which one fails, we have no loss. However, when one side fails, the conflict between us and the other side becomes prominent, and that's when the war comes!" Zhao Ji Slowly speaking, his words made everyone's faces heavy.

Although they don't want to believe it, many people still have this feeling. Now Zhao Ji has clearly said it, which makes these people feel the pressure has increased suddenly, as if it will crush them.

"So, the next few years will be very critical. I hope that all of you will put aside your prejudices and put the overall situation first, the country, the society and the people, and the people and the people! How will the hair be attached to the skin? , and I, where can I continue to enjoy this magnificent river and mountains, this wonderful time?"
