Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

However, Wang Ding had nothing to refute, he could only say, "Your Majesty, this minister is also for the diplomatic relations between the two countries!"

"Hmph, diplomatic relations are something that His Majesty considers, where will it be your turn? Besides, if the case is judged like yours, wouldn't the people of the Song Dynasty be unjustly killed?" Li Gang snorted coldly, full of disdain, "This minister thinks that Wang Ding is not worthy of being the Shao Yin of the Kaifeng government, and I hope Your Majesty will investigate!

In the Song Dynasty, the centralization of power was already very powerful. The appointment and removal of every official required the approval of the emperor, not to mention the third-rank officials, so the ministers only had the right to make suggestions.

"Well, I naturally know about this," Zhao Ji thought about it, "Wang Ding did something wrong, but he did mean to think about my Song Dynasty. It's just Wang Ding, do you know that the relationship between the two countries Diplomatic relations are not something that can be achieved by grievances and complacency. If you also grieve and ask for complacency, the other party will make more progress?""

"Wei Chen knew it was wrong!" Wang Ding didn't dare to look up.

"Well, this feeling is good, but the method is wrong. Penalize Wang Ding's salary for one year, and stay as inspection, Wang Ding, do you have something to say?" Zhao Ji said lightly.

When Wang Ding heard this, he immediately fell to the ground, "Chen, thank you Lord Long En!

Originally, Wang Ding thought that this time he would definitely be dismissed and investigated, and that the 10th lowest would also be demoted. His Majesty has been ruthless these days, but he never thought that the stick would be lifted high and gently dropped, and he would have let him go, and he couldn't help but sweat. Wet back.

Seeing that His Majesty had made a decision, Li Gang and the others stopped talking.

In fact, Zhao Ji has his own considerations. Although Li Gang is a well-known and clean official, Zhao Ji can't help it. He can't let Li Gang dominate the court, and he needs to maintain a balance.

There must be a balance between civil and military affairs, and civil ministers must not be monolithic, otherwise the emperor will also be in danger of being overthrown!

The art of the emperor had already affected Zhao Ji inadvertently.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom is humiliated, and the Jin Kingdom will definitely not let it go. This incident has far-reaching consequences. I wonder if Your Majesty has been prepared?" Zheng Juzhong frowned, he did not know that Zhao Ji had beaten the envoy of the Jin Kingdom Broken leg, this thing can really make a big deal.

Zhao Ji chuckled, "Of course I'm not prepared. The conflict between us in the Song Dynasty and the nomadic peoples in the north has a long history. We used to rely on the sixteen states in the north and there were some natural dangers, so we could still have peace of mind, but now Yanyun The cloud is lost, the northern barrier is gone, who can say that it is ready at this time?"

After a pause, Zhao Ji continued, "However, although we are not ready, we can't just compromise, otherwise we will only let others gain an inch. Just like Xilinhelu, if we can't protect our people, Can we expect the people to do our best for us?"

Having said that, the ministers began to discuss one after another. Some people are flattering, saying that His Majesty is wise and martial, while others are based on reality, and the gains outweigh the losses. At least they can't offend Jin Bing.

When it comes to the Jin Bing coming, many ministers are pale, they have been at ease for too long, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and they have always tried to avoid fighting. The ministers were worried and felt that the emperor's behavior was a bit too much, and it was really unwise to provoke the Jin Kingdom!

"Your Majesty, we should send an envoy to Jin Guo to explain this incident to the other party, hoping that there will be a chance to reconcile..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, even if we don't form an alliance with Jin Guo, we can't be enemies!

Zhao Ji looked a little embarrassed when he looked at such a minister. Song State's national policy was to emphasize literature over military affairs. Most of the courtrooms were literati, and many of the generals were originally civil servants. Therefore, the general government was dominated by civil servants, and generals rarely spoke. Because even if he opens his mouth, he will be ridiculed by the civil servants, so why bring shame on himself.

It seems that most of the ministers disapprove of Zhao Ji's approach in dealing with the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, and they do not want to go through war again. But war is not something you don't want to have!

"Does Zong Aiqing have anything to say?" Zhao Ji called.

Zong Ze coughed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thought that we should prepare for the war! 35

"I don't know what Lord Zong means by saying that, do you think Jin will attack us? Bai Shizhong was a little surprised.

Zong Ze didn't give a positive answer, he just said, "Everything is foreshadowed and it is not foreshadowed. There is always no harm in preparing early, isn't it?"

"That's not right, if there is no war, and so many people are launched, how many national crossbows will be spent, not to mention the waste of money and the people, it will make the neighboring countries think that we want war..." Zheng Juzhong shook his head, although he did not agree with the alliance of the Golden Kingdom, But also a member who does not want to fight.

Most of the ministers of the Song Dynasty had such an ostrich temperament, and they would not take the initiative to solve the problem until it was over.

"Your Majesty said it is absolutely true, Your Majesty, it is impossible to say war lightly!" Although Li Gang was regarded as a rare and good minister, he was also cautious. In his opinion, Song Dynasty was the first to break the contract, which was obviously unwise.

"Haha, look at how scared you are!" Zhao Ji laughed, and then said, "I just said to prepare, do you think we will take the initiative to go to war with Jin Guo? Do you think I am stupid and will humiliate myself? But you, dear gentlemen, must understand one thing, people don't hurt tigers' intentions, tigers hurt people's hearts!

We do not take the initiative to attack others, but we must guard against others attacking us!

My 633 intentions have been decided, and I will immediately enter the state of preparation for war, and fight against foreign enemies!

"Cooks can cook, soldiers can fight, if you let soldiers cook, it may taste bad.

War is cruel, and in every war, thousands of people are killed. Therefore, commanding the war is particularly important. We must let people who can command command them. We only need to provide them with good service. Zhao Ji said with a stern voice in the back, and patted the case in front of him, "No matter who has any personal grudges, but in the face of national crisis, all must be put down, dare to influence the national society, and be executed!"

"The minister obeys!"

Under the strong pressure of Zhao Ji, no one dared to dissent. The current Zhao Ji is obviously different from the previous Song Huizong. He is domineering, murderous, and has less literati's weakness and more emperor's majesty!

"Fate, Zong Ze, as the general marshal of the army and horses, leads the army and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, and is responsible for all kinds of materials and personnel!"

Zong Ze clasped his fists, "The minister takes orders!"

I was very excited. Although this military marshal was only a temporary position, this time Zong Ze saw the emperor's determination. The power to allocate materials and personnel was given to him. He is a military general, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to it.
