Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 753: To convince the officials, it’s absolutely the right thing to say.
Looking at Gao Zhang, who spoke sincerely, and the well-behaved and honest eldest son Zhao Huan, the official finally smiled and raised his hand to pat Zhao Huan's shoulder.

After a few words of comfort, he found an excuse and sent the eldest son away.

Seeing the other party respectfully exiting the royal study and then drifting away, the official finally let out a faint sigh.

"This boy is not worthy of being a teacher."

These words fell in the ears of Yang Jian and Gao Zhang, and their eyelids twitched at the same time. Fortunately, the two old drivers bowed their eyebrows, so naturally they could not let the Emperor of the Song Dynasty get the clues.

However, Zhao Ji didn't seem to let Gao Zhang go, and led Gao Zhang to the table and sat down.

"Xiao Gao, there are some things that a teacher cannot say to others, so I can only chat with you for a few words.

Now, Huan'er is the daughter of the empress and has reached the age of sixteen. Many successful people in the court have begun to submit letters to ask him to establish a crown prince.

But Huan'er is mediocre in both intelligence and knowledge. He is timid in his actions, so he might as well be a teacher..."

Looking at the frowning Master in front of him, Gao Zhang took the initiative to stand behind the Master, patted the Master's back, and whispered.

"It is rare for a heroic master like you, Master, to be as amazing as you are in a hundred generations. It is normal that Your Highness is not as good as you."

"Furthermore, we in the Song Dynasty govern the world with benevolence and filial piety, and we have a hundred virtues and filial piety as the first priority. If Master is worried, His Highness will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, for fear that he has done something wrong..."

Yang Jian stood not far away politely, watching Gao Zhang gently knocking and rubbing the official's back while persuading the official with gentle words.

Seeing the official's eyes narrowing slightly, he would nod his head from time to time in deep understanding, agreeing with his beloved disciple's reasonable and reasonable explanations.

Although Gao Zhang did not say anything about whether the crown prince should be appointed, now, as long as the official family's impression of the eldest son of the emperor has changed.

Then as the courtiers' admonitions put more and more pressure on the officials, the crown prince's position would most likely fall into the hands of Zhao Huan.

"You must know your intention as a teacher... Indeed, how many masters and disciples like you and me can count in the world?"

Official Zhao Ji patted the back of Gao Zhang's hand and motioned for Gao Zhang to sit next to him. After thinking for a while, his eyes fell back on Gao Zhang again.

"In the past, as a teacher, I asked Huan'er to get closer to you, just in the hope that he could set an example."

"Huan'er is indeed as you said. His talent, intelligence and knowledge are all insignificant. Only his filial piety and respect can be considered worthy of my attention."

"If he is the prince, he still needs more supervision from you..."

"Master, don't worry. This disciple will obey the master's orders and will definitely work hard to repay the teacher's kindness."

Gao Zhang bowed directly and replied sincerely to his master.

Next, Gao Zhang informed the master in front of him about the information he had sent to the Liao envoy to inquire about, as well as the conclusions drawn from the intelligence collected by the Imperial City Division from the Liao Kingdom.

“The emperor of the Liao Kingdom refused to be remonstrated and pretended to be wrong. He was extravagant and lustful. He indulged himself in travels. His reputation was slandered. His discipline and discipline were neglected. He was deprived of his country’s foundation and even alienated his officials.

Nowadays, the Jin people have become a phenomenon. Although the emperor of the Liao Kingdom personally conquers the country, he has little chance of victory. In addition, the situation in the Liao Kingdom is unstable.

If the war goes unfavorably, not only the Tokyo Dao tribes will have second thoughts, but even the Khitan tribes will reveal their claws and bite the Lord..."

"Then in your opinion, how should I deal with it, is it to reject it directly?"

Zhao Ji sat calmly behind the desk, asking for advice from his young, resourceful and talented disciple in front of him. "Master, according to my disciple's opinion, the results of the Liao Kingdom's gold conquest battle will be reported to Tokyo Bianliang within half a month."

"Now we only need to appease the Liao envoys first. We can avoid the reason for the time being and wait until the outcome of the Liao-Jin war is known before we can make decisions."

Seeing that Gao Zhang was so confident and handled this important matter in an orderly manner, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel happy and his gloom disappeared.

He patted the back of Gao Zhang's hand and smiled. "If I can have a little helper as my teacher, what else do I have to worry about as a teacher?"

"It just so happens that a few days ago, Zhao Laoqing's family asked me to resign as the third envoy because of his old age. I was hesitating."

"Now, we can first resolve the issue of splitting the three divisions into three divisions, and then discuss the Liao affairs. However, you need to appease the Liao envoy, so as not to upset the Liao envoy and damage the friendship between the two countries. "

"Master, don't worry. Disciple, don't worry. In addition, I have something to report, which is related to the important task of Shen Lei Division's weapon making."

Seeing his master Zhao Ji's approval, Gao Zhang took advantage of the situation and spoke. It has been several years since the Song Dynasty's military equipment reform.

The quality of military equipment has been greatly improved, but with the long-term application of gunpowder weapons such as flying thunder cannons, thunder cannons, and grenades, it has been determined that they will become the main standard weapons of the Song Dynasty military in the future.

The Imperial City Division can no longer meet a country's demand for gunpowder weapons.

For this reason, Gao Zhang suggested that the Shenlei Division under the Imperial City Division should still be fully responsible for the manufacture of gunpowder.

To the greatest extent possible, the gunpowder formula will not be leaked out.

But at the same time, the manufacturing of those gunpowder weapons could also be integrated with the many military equipment workshops of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the improvement of military equipment can determine the outcome of the war and is absolutely important.

We can no longer mess around like we did in the past.

Now that the Song Dynasty wants to expand its ministerial-level units, it does not have to become an armament department. From now on, all the military equipment of the Song Dynasty will be overseen and managed by this department.

This avoids the possibility of unclear government orders like in the past, causing people below to profit from them.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty originally had redundant officials. The main reason for the so-called redundant officials was that there were too many officials and they were overstaffed.

Now the addition of an important new department only increases the emphasis on military equipment and plays a specialized management role.

At the same time, it also allowed those officials who had official status but had no work to do, and who only knew how to drink, eat and drink, to go to work and dedicate their efforts and sweat to the Song Dynasty.

And this was also the original intention of splitting the Third Division into three new departments after the establishment of the Third Division.

In addition, Gao Zhang naturally stated while vigorously touting his master as the most enlightened monarch in the Song Dynasty.

Only by destroying Xixia like you, Master, can the wise monarchs in Weijiahai be able to shoulder the burden of such reform.

And you have inherited the legacy of Emperor Shenzong. Now, the problem of redundant soldiers has been greatly alleviated. Redundant officials will also work hard to make the best use of people and materials due to the reform of the court system...

Watching Guan Zai and Gao Zhang having in-depth exchanges and enthusiastic discussions in the imperial study.

Yang Jian swore with his slightly deformed little toe that if Xiao Gao Zhuang Yuan shook his head, ah no... to convince the officials, he would definitely be right.
