Monument Yangmen

Chapter 641
Why did Zhao Guangyi suddenly become so talkative?
All officials are puzzled.

When Hubu Shangshu heard this, his bitter face became even more bitter.

Zhao Guangyi pretended not to see him playing pity in front of him.

Zhao Guangyi said: "Since you can't send heavy troops to resist the Liao people, then you can't let the Liao people go south. Hu Yanzan, I order you to rush to Waqiao Pass immediately, and replace Wang Chao as the Waqiao Pass. Wang Chao is in command of Waqiao Pass.

Wang Chaoxiong was dismissed from the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Jianjun Army, temporarily residing as a deputy general, and stayed at Waqiaoguan to listen to him.

Shi Baoxing, I order you to lead the Tianxiong Army with [-] soldiers and horses, and sit at Feihukou.

At the same time, Li Jilong, the general guard of Yanmen Gate, was ordered to strengthen his defense.

The draft edict of Zhongshu Sheren ordered Yang Yansi to cooperate with Li Jilong to guard Yanmen Pass with full authority. "

What Zhao Guangyi said was shocking.

All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that Zhao Guangyi hated Yang Qi deeply, and now he actually gave the order to Yang Qi.

"Do you have any objections?"

Hu Yanzan, Shi Baoxing and Zhongshu Sheren hurriedly saluted and said: "I will obey your orders."

Zhao Guangyi glanced coldly at Manchao Wenwu, "I know what you are thinking, I hate Yang Yansi to the bone. However, I just want to use the sharp knife of the Yang family to deal with the Liao people. I just want to see Does Yang Yansi have the guts to be used by me?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the officials bowed and flattered.

Only Li Fang's mouth twitched, wanting to speak.

But seeing Zhao Guangyi's high-spirited appearance, he swallowed back the words on his lips.

Using Yang Qi?

Ah!
Your Majesty, you are very confident!
If Yang Qi was so easy to use, the three of us wouldn't suffer so much from Wang Chao's false credit.

"The last thing, change the yuan!"

Zhao Guangyi exuded the majesty of an emperor, and said majesticly: "From this year onwards, it will be changed to Yuan Yongxi. This year is the first year of Yongxi."

Yongxi?

Baiguan was a little confused.

Yongxi generally refers to harmony and peace.

It means peace in the world.

The previous year was Taiping Xingguo, but now it is changed to Yuan Yongxi?

It seems that His Majesty very much hopes that under his governance, the Great Song Dynasty will bring peace to the world.

Zhao Pu was the first to react, he stood up without hesitation and said, "My emperor is wise."

Ever since, all the officials also shouted together.

……

Three days later.

Zhao Defang's letter and Zhao Guangyi's imperial decree arrived in Datong City one after the other.

Inside the Yang Mansion.

Yang Qi was wearing a large sleeved gown, sitting at the desk, looking at Kou Zhun with a smile.

"I guessed right, Zhao Guangyi woke up. It's just that I didn't expect him to wake up when the envoys of the Liao Kingdom entered Bianjing. Originally, I wanted to see how the envoys of the Liao Kingdom blackmailed Song Dynasty, but now I can't. up.

What a disappointment...”

Kou Zhun glanced at Yang Qi, and said angrily, "I can't see any disappointment on your face."

Yang Qi folded his hands in front of his chest, and said with a light smile, "I was quite disappointed at first, but I suddenly received two good news, so I feel better again."

Kou Zhun looked at Yang Qi suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "What good news?"

"Zhao Guangyi has changed his Yuan!"

Yang Qi had mixed feelings in his heart, and his tone became a little more emotional, "Yongxi..."

Yongxi, for others, this is just a year name, a beautiful expectation.

Maybe during the Yongxi period, the Great Song Dynasty would really become peaceful and happy.

But this year name, to Yang Qi, has a different taste.

Because only he knew that with the change of the year name, Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition was approaching.

Yongxi Northern Expedition!

It will be the most tragic battle that Zhao Guangyi fought in his lifetime, and also the saddest battle.

It can even be said that it was a battle that broke the backbone of Song Dynasty.

Because after Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the Northern Song Dynasty never dared to invade the Liao Kingdom.

Only passively beaten.

Recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun has become a luxury that can only be thought about in the heart.

Most importantly, the Yang family died in this battle.

The fate of the Yang family has been changed by Yang Qi, but the upcoming war is not up to Yang Qi to decide.

"Yongxi? Hele Shengping! Besides, is there any special meaning?"

Kou Zhun asked suspiciously when he saw that Yang Qi was immersed in endless emotions and memories.

Yang Qi came back to his senses, smiled mysteriously, and said, "You will know when the time comes."

"Pretend to be a ghost..."

Kou Zhun muttered contemptuously, and said, "What's the other good news? It can't be this kind of pretense, right?"

Yang Qi picked up a secret letter from the table, threw it in front of Kou Zhun, and said with a smile: "Look, Zhao Defang sent someone to send it."

Kou Zhun frowned, he didn't think there would be any good news for Zhao Defang to find Yang Qi.

Under Zhao Guangyi's oppression and plunder, Zhao Defang has no power, no wealth, and nothing she wants, and she has been stared at all the time.

It's no good getting involved with him.

Kou Zhun picked up the secret letter, glanced at it casually, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if he saw some earth-shattering secret.

"This is not true, is it?"

Kou Zhun asked in disbelief.

Yang Qi pondered for a while, "I think... it's close to ten..."

Yang Qi picked up a piece of paper from the table, it was the one sent with the secret letter.

Kou Zhun stared at the imprint on it, dumbfounded.

"People all over the Song Dynasty were looking for it, but they didn't expect it to be in Zhao Defang's hands. If Zhao Guangyi knew about this thing, he would have to kill people and seize the treasure in an instant.

Moreover, the meaning of this thing in Lao Zhao's house is completely different from that in your hands.Zhao Defang willing to give it to you? "

Yang Qi smiled and said, "It is impossible for Zhao Defang to give me this thing. I know it very well. I think he wants to hang me with this thing and let me help him ascend to the throne of God. However, I don't care about it." I care more about what he said later..."

"Crack the soil and seal the king?"

Kou Zhun glanced outside the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping. He approached Yang Qi cunningly, and said in an exaggerated voice: "That is the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom...the Jade Seal of the Qin Shihuang's Chuan Kingdom...Ordained by the sky, it will last forever... …I can assure you that it is absolutely true.

With it, you can justifiably occupy the Central Plains and proclaim yourself emperor. "

There is no need for Kou Zhun to remind him, Yang Qi also knows the importance of Chuan Guo Yuxi in the hearts of the common people.

Chuan Guo Yuxi can be said to be a symbol of orthodoxy.

An emperor who has the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and an emperor who does not have the Jade Seal of the Kingdom are completely different things.

The reason why the Song Dynasty has been criticized for being unfair is that Zhao Kuangyin bullied Zhou Chai's orphan and widow, and the other point is that there is no jade seal passed on to the country.

After all, Zhao Kuangyin was not the only one who bullied orphans and widows in history.

But he has been criticized all the time because he didn't pass on the jade seal of the country.

The big hat of "gaining the country is not right" was put on his head, and he didn't even have a chance to refute.

Seeing that Yang Qi had no reaction to the Chuanguo Yuxi, Kou Zhun said anxiously: "How can you be indifferent? You can't be moved by a Wang Jue, right? Compared with the Chuanguo Yuxi, Wang Jue is a fart."

Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said calmly: "I don't claim to be emperor, so what's the use of passing on the Imperial Seal?"

Kou Zhun hated iron for being weak and said: "Even if you don't claim to be emperor, let's have a look at it. This is the most important treasure of the country, who wouldn't want to see it."

Originally, Yang Qi really wanted to take a look at it, but when he saw Kou Zhun's enthusiasm, his thoughts faded away.

If he really dared to take the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, Kou Zhun would dare to get a yellow robe for him tomorrow.

"Let's go... let's go..."

Yang Qi said lightly.

Kou Zhun's nostrils were almost smoked.

Kou Zhun glared at Yang Qi viciously, and growled, "It's hopeless!"

"Whether you like Chuanguo Yuxi or not, I came here to tell you. Since the news of Zhao Guangyi's awakening spread to the four northwestern prefectures, the hearts of those officials who just came from the Song Dynasty are a little fluctuating. You should quickly find a way to solve it."

Yang Qi looked at Kou Zhun suspiciously, and said, "You are the co-leader of the Four Governments, and they are all officials under your command. You should solve this kind of problem, right?"

"I am sick……"

"What disease?"

"Without the Chuan Guo Yuxi, there is no way to get rid of the disease."

Yang Qi scolded angrily: "Can you show some face, you can make such an excuse?"

Kou Zhun said unwillingly again: "That's the Chuan Guo Yuxi, you really don't want it?"

"I'll find someone to engrave two for you tomorrow?"

"Really boring."

Kou Zhun pursed his lips and said, "Originally I had some ideas, but now I have new ideas. Since Zhao Guangyi has ordered you to help prevent the Liao people from going south, and wants to use you, then we can also use you." Hit him."

"how to say?"

Kou Zhun sneered and said, "It is true that the emperor does not send hungry soldiers. If we send troops, then we have to give us food and grass. Send people to ask for food and wages with great fanfare, and it is a solid matter.

We took the money and food from the imperial court and helped the imperial court to fight the war, so we are the imperial court's people.

No matter how dissatisfied those underlings are, they can be punished in the name of the court.

We take the name of righteousness, I don't believe that we can't convince them. "

Yang Qi gave a thumbs up, "High! It's really high! Kou Xie is mighty."

Kou Zhun couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Yang Qi asked again: "Then how much do you think we should send troops after receiving the imperial court's rations? How?"

"At least [-], the more the better. Anyway, you are receiving the imperial court's salary, so naturally the more the better."

Kou Zhun said unceremoniously: "As for how to fight... Of course, the farther the better, the better. As long as the Liao people don't enter the Song Dynasty, our people can avoid it. Anyway, we can't use all our strength..."

Kou Zhun couldn't continue after talking halfway.

Because he saw Yang Qi looking at him with a smile.

Obviously, what he said was exactly what Yang Qi was thinking.

Kou Zhun glared at Yang Qi and said, "Since you have made up your mind, why are you still asking me?"

Yang Qi did not answer Kou Zhun's question, but instead asked: "Then who do you think is appropriate to send to ask the imperial court for food and grass?"

Kou Zhun weighed it in his mind, and then said with a thief-like smile: "Lu Duan!"

"Hahaha……"

Yang Qi laughed out loud.

Kou Zhun's face darkened instantly.

"You're playing tricks on me again."

Seeing the anger on Kou Zhun's face, Yang Qi hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to play tricks on you, but although I have a plan in my heart, I haven't made up my mind yet, so I'll ask you to refer to it.

I didn't expect your thoughts to coincide with mine. "

"Humph!"

Kou Zhun snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Yang Qi smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the court sent this group of people, but it solved our big trouble. Now we finally don't have to worry about not having enough people under our command."

"It's not enough. At present, the division of duties and powers of officials under the four northwestern prefectures is not detailed and sound enough. The management at the top is not sound enough, and it can even be said to be loose. Many things are decided by you. Once you leave, The government affairs of the entire four northwestern prefectures will be paralyzed.

Moreover, all the big and small affairs of officials at all levels are reported, which is very messy.

The most important thing is that there is no restraint among officials, and the autonomy of each is astonishing.

It's okay in the short term, but if it goes on like this for a long time, many problems will arise. "

Kou Zhun has deep worries about the official system of the four prefectures in the Northwest.

Yang Qi looked at Kou Zhun with a half-smile, "You want to encourage me to open a government office, and it would be best to directly establish three provinces and six ministries?"

Kou Zhun said calmly: "This is inevitable. Now you have four prefectures under your command, which is far larger than the Northern Han Dynasty. The establishment of a country is enough, let alone the establishment of three provinces and six ministries.

Today's four northwestern prefectures are like a pan of scattered sand, and each prefecture basically operates independently.

It has been a long time since I left office as the magistrate of the Fuxing Mansion, and the officials of the Fuxing Mansion sent a memorial to my desk, don't you think it's scary? "

Kou Zhun spoke frankly, but Yang Qi always felt that Kou Zhun had bad intentions.

However, what Kou Zhun said is indeed a problem.

With more and more people under his management, the territory in his hands is getting bigger and bigger.

There will be more and more problems.

When manpower is scarce.

It is impossible for Yang Qi to take everything on himself, and it is impossible to put all the things on Kou Zhun.

Then, a relatively sound official system is very important.

Reform is a long-term process. Only by following the times step by step will we not be eliminated by the times.

Once the steps are big, it is easy to tear the eggs.

Therefore, Yang Qi can only learn from the official system of the feudal dynasty.

The official system of the Song Dynasty had great disadvantages.

The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was relatively sound.

One disadvantage is that it is easy for literati to sit on the throne, and suppressed generals have no status.

The military cabinet established by Yang Qi just made up for this.

With a general direction in his mind, Yang Qi said to Kou Zhun: "You don't have to worry about the official system of the four prefectures in the Northwest. This issue has been considered since I arrived in the Northwest. Now I have some clues, and I will sort them out as soon as possible. Booked.

When the time comes, you will come back and join me for details. "

Kou Zhun nodded, "As long as you know it in your heart."

"Then I'll go to Lu Duan first, and discuss the details of going to ask for food and grass."

Kou Zhun dropped this sentence, bowed his hands and left the Yang Mansion.

Yang Qi was sitting alone in the study, chanting the word 'Yongxi', wondering what he was thinking.

　Thanks for 'nostalgic? ? 'A reward of one hundred book coins!
