Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 256 Secretly Concerned

Great Song Dynasty, Bian capital.

Zhao Kuangyin was reviewing the memorial in the Imperial Study Room. His whole body was calm and composed. During the several years of his enthronement, he had developed the special aura of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.

For example, Zhao Kuangyin was only 37 years old. He was in his prime and full of energy. He had to stay up late every day to review memorials.

Since the release of military power after a cup of wine, Zhao Kuangyin gathered the military power of the forbidden army and firmly controlled it in his hands. Except for the generals who went out to fight and had the right to deploy troops, the generals who did not fight in the territory had already withdrawn their general powers and were left idle at home, or at home. The barracks are responsible for training troops, and without the orders of the Imperial War Department and the Privy Council, it is not allowed to deploy troops without authorization.

In the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, the imperial court was constantly changing. Zhao Kuangyin himself forced the mother and son of the former Chai family to step down through the yellow robe. Therefore, he did not come from the right path. He was always on guard against the imperial power and throne in his hands. He was worried about those generals and nobles. .

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin's grand plan to unify the world is also an ideal of Zhao Kuangyin. Now it is being implemented step by step. Seeing the sweetness, and finding that the Shu army has no ability to resist, they will go all out to destroy the Shu Kingdom.

After the land of Bashu is taken, the southern regime will only be left with Yue, Southern Han, and Tang, which is nothing to worry about.

What troubled Zhao Kuangyin was the Northern Han Dynasty in the west. With the grassland Khitan as shelter, it was difficult to gnaw off that hard bone. Both would threaten the safety of the Song State and Bianjing. No one knew when the Khitan cavalry passed through the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty and suddenly killed the Song State's imperial city.

This is what Zhao Kuangyin cannot tolerate, and sooner or later he will have a duel with the Northern Han and Khitan people.

In addition, the party members were eager to move in the Northwest state capital, and they did not obey the dispatch of the Bianjing court at all. They had the heart of being king, so they had to beware.In terms of feudal towns, Fuzhou Zhejia, Linzhou Yangjia, Fengzhou Wangjia, Qingjiancheng Zhongjia, etc. have been entrenched in the northwest for decades, and their relationships are intertwined. It is also unbearable for Zhao Kuangyin.

In the past dynasties, only within 20 years of the founding of the country, the army's force value is relatively high, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the combat effectiveness is sturdy. Once it settles down and enters a peaceful and prosperous age, the army will hardly have combat effectiveness. Zhao Kuangyin also understands this. If he can't sweep the world and solve internal problems Foreign aggression, left to the descendants of the Zhao family, is even more hopeless.

Tired, Zhao Kuangyin put down the memorial and rubbed his temples. In addition to these major military affairs, there are also some emergency matters of state affairs.

For example, the Yellow River burst its embankment and flooded hundreds of miles. Hundreds of thousands of refugees need comfort and rescue.

There is a drought in the northwest, and locusts are infesting the disaster. The people in the two states are waiting for the imperial court to rescue them.

In the land of Qilu, the outbreak of the smallpox plague is even more troublesome...

At this moment, Zhang Dejun, the chief eunuch, walked into the imperial study, and said to Zhao Kuangyin, "Officials, Wu Desi hastened to send a secret performance from Jiangnan Tang Kingdom."

"What's new in Tang Kingdom?"

Zhao Kuangyin murmured in doubt, took the secret letter from Zhang Dejun casually, opened it, swept it aside, frowned, and then gradually became surprised.

In the end, he said in disbelief: "The plague broke out in Runzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. It was very serious at the beginning, but after half a month, it was miraculously controlled. There is a special way to suppress smallpox, which can cure patients and even make people live forever." No more smallpox..."

Hearing this, Zhang Dejun was also taken aback. He was about fifty years old and lived a longer life. After two or three smallpox plagues, although he was not infected and was lucky enough to escape, many people in the village died, which is really terrifying. .

As far as he knows, since ancient times, no one can completely cure the disease with medicine, and can only survive on their own, resigned to fate.

"Which miracle doctor appeared in the Tang Dynasty?" Zhang Dejun asked in surprise.

"Su Chen, Doctor Su!" Zhao Kuangyin said five words, and then fell into deep thought.

"Su Chen? I've never heard of a genius doctor with this name! Hey, this name seems familiar... Ah, could it be..." Zhang Dejun suddenly remembered a young genius.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "It's him, Su Chen and Su Yixuan. The previous secret performances were not about his poems and poems, and his fame moved north and south; it was this person who developed and sold new blue and white porcelain and soap. , and now he knows how to treat smallpox."

Zhang Dejun was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe it.

Can a person be so comprehensive?

"Could it be the wrong person?"

Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and glanced at him, and asked, "As the acting commander of Wu De Division, do you think there is a mistake in Wu De Division's intelligence?"

Only then did Zhang Dejun realize that he had made a slip of the tongue. He couldn't doubt the intelligence agency he was in charge of. Isn't this a slap in the face?

But Su Chen is just a young scholar, his poetry accomplishments have already shocked the world, it is unbelievable to know how to learn from things and create new things, and now he has developed a way to restrain the smallpox plague, it is really hard to believe!

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head, looked at the map of mountains and rivers behind the table, focused on the place in Runzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and sighed softly: "It makes me want to see this Jiangzuo Sulang earlier! If so People can belong to my Great Song Dynasty, literary talent can lead the fashion, business skills, medical skills, how many people of the Great Song Dynasty can be benefited, I would rather exchange a few cities for this Su Chen!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dejun was a little speechless, the officials' evaluation of this young man was getting higher and higher every time, and now he even had the idea of ​​exchanging several cities for Su Chen, this kind of attention is not unreasonable.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, because the city is dead, but the people are alive. If the city is sent out, we can take it back in the future. If such a young talent is used properly, it may be able to serve the Song Dynasty treasury every year. How much money can he earn; can reduce diseases and disasters; he is so talented in poetry, I don’t know how many scholars from various countries will surrender and are willing to serve our Song State. The more things that can be excavated from him, the greater the effect on the court.”

Zhang Dejun has already realized that this person is good at many abilities, and he can continuously extract his value, which is of great benefit to the governance of the country.

"The officials won't really consider using the Jiangbei city to replace people, right? I'm afraid it will cause opposition from the prime minister and the generals..." Zhang Dejun raised his concerns.

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and laughed and said, "Of course not. It was just a metaphor. Even if I agree, how should those generals who sacrificed countless blood and lives for this and laid down the city view me? How should they target Su Chen? So, This matter should be taken care of slowly, first send an envoy to Jiangnan to see who this Su Chen is, and stabilize Jiangnan along the way to prevent Li Yu and some courtiers in Jinling from secretly forming an alliance with Shu to stop our Song army from attacking Great plans for Shu."

Zhang Dejun bowed and praised: "The official is wise!"

Zhao Kuangyin murmured, "We have to find a suitable candidate to go to the south of the Yangtze River."
