I studied in modern times

Chapter 229 The Enraged Queen Mother (9500 monthly ticket plus more)

The next day, in July Dingsi (25), Yanhe Hall will listen to the government.

The three provinces and the Privy Council jointly made a statement: the emperor's study of the sutra banquet is the most important thing in the world, and the officials waited for a long-term dispute to see the sutra banquet officials.

From it.

Therefore, Han Jiang, the right minister, listed the schedule of the Jingyan, and please divide the Jingyan into the Spring and Summer Jingyan and the Autumn and Winter Jingyan according to the seasons and months.

The Spring and Summer Feast starts in February every year and ends in May, and the Autumn and Winter Feast starts in August every year and ends ten days before the Winter Solstice.

This is an elaborate arrangement that fully considers Zhao Xu's personal schedule, seasonal factors and Zhao Xu's physical development.

In other words...

Zhao Xu in the Northern Song Dynasty will be the same as modern students from now on.

We can have winter and summer vacations.

Moreover, his winter and summer vacations were one month longer than those of modern students.

As the Son of Heaven, Zhao Xu naturally rejected this proposal.

It is required to shorten the holidays and strive to be on par with modern students. Two months of summer vacation is enough, and one and a half months of winter vacation is about the same.

After hearing this, the officials all congratulated Zhao Xu for his desire to study and seek knowledge.

The two palaces were also very happy, so they issued an imperial edict to determine the feast every year, from February to the first day of June in spring and summer, and from the first day of August to the winter solstice in autumn and winter.

The Jingyan is held in Jiying Hall on a single day, and classes are suspended on two days.

When there are festivals, holy festivals, the anniversary of the death of emperors of all dynasties, and birthdays, there will also be sutra feasts.

He also ordered the governor and attendant to read Lu Gong's works, and the Zhangde Army Jiedu envoy and attendant to read Zhang Fangping's supervision and urging the banquet officials to select the emperor's reading bibliography before the first day of August.

Even the two palaces couldn't stand it, and the officials were dragging their feet.

Just let the ruling party and the elders come down to beat them.

After playing the banquet official, it is a bunch of personnel arrangements.

Pick a few key points.

Wu Yong was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs at Baowen Pavilion; Fan Bailu, a servant of Jiying Hall, was appointed as a member of Zhongshushe; Cai Bian, a minister of Zhilongtuge and Zhongshusheren, was changed to serve as Minister of Rites and dismissed as a servant of the Ministry of Rites Fan Chunchun, a direct scholar of Longtuge, knew Qingzhou, and was the envoy of Huanqing Road; The original road was slightly appeased, and he knew Weizhou, and was promoted to a bachelor of Longtuge.

Therefore, the candidate for the new Xihe Lanhui Road Economic and Appeasement Envoy is already on the verge of coming out——Lu Bing from Jingyuan Road.

Why did Lu Bing win?

Because he has three advantages.

First: Jingyuan Road, where he worked, borders Xihe Road, and he is most familiar with the situation of Xihe.

Second: He is three years younger than Zhao Xie!
Zhao Xi is 64, and Lu Bing is 61. Even though they are only three years apart, in the eyes of the two palaces, they are worlds apart!

The third and most important factor - Lu Bing once besieged and killed Ren Duo alone, the general of the bandits on the frontal battlefield!
In terms of performance, he is higher than Zhao Xi.

This is critical!

Because now both the Gao family and the Xiang family have a baby in Xihe.

Of course, the two palaces will choose the more powerful person to go to Xihe Road to escort their precious nephew/brother.

However, Lu Bing's appointment will not be issued immediately, and he still needs to pass the test of Dutang.

The Zaizhi people do not object to him before he can officially take up the post.

And Zhao Xu kept silent about it.

Because whether it's Lu Bing or Zhao Xie, it doesn't matter whoever goes to Xihe Road.

Their abilities and qualifications are similar.

Relatively speaking, Lu Bing may be better - he belongs to the new party cadres.

But Zhao Xie was not bad either!

Another one is that Zhao Xu understands that the era of Lu Bing and Zhao Xie is coming to an end.

How many more years can these two veterans fight?
Training their successors is the key!

Xihe Road can be handed over to You Shixiong in the future.

But Jingyuan Road, Qinfeng Road, and Yongxing Army have yet to find a suitable replacement.

Therefore, a few days ago, Zhao Xu had used his means to order the two palaces to issue an edict to transfer a person from Chengdu to Qinfeng Road, to know Qinzhou through Zhilong Tuge, and to be the envoy of Qinfeng Road.

This person's name is Zhang Yu.

In his previous life, Zhao Xu was the number one general who attacked Lingxia.

He is also Song's top defensive master!
Defensive counterattack and flexible attack with one hand, the Xizhe who beats the thief wants to die, crying for his father and mother.

And Zhang Wei is Zhang Dun's cousin!
So, this is the reason why Zhang Dun got full marks in Zhao Xu's place.

Their brothers, with one article and one military, are Zhao Xu's right-hand man, and they are inseparable from the country's major affairs!

Zhao Xu transferred Zhang Wei to Qinfeng Road in order to prepare for the possible battle next year.

Let him be the captain of the fire brigade, but at the same time let him practice the frontier army on Qinfeng Road.

The remaining Jingyuan Road and Yongxing Army have to be arranged slowly.

Select a group of young officials and send them to the border for training.

Those who have been trained are talents, and those who have not been trained, there is no way.

……

After retiring from the court, the two palaces first took Zhao Xu to the Chongzheng Palace to meet Shi Yitian, a Korean monk who came to the court.

This monk came to the Eastern Song Dynasty to seek the scriptures!
Do not laugh!

In today's world, the Great Song Dynasty is the number one Buddhist power!

Whether it is Xixia, Liao, Goryeo, Japan, Jiaozhi, Dali...

As long as you believe in and respect Buddhism and want to seek true scriptures, you can only come to Song Dynasty!

why?
Because it took more than 100 years in the Song Dynasty to translate countless scriptures.

Many Buddhist scriptures can only be found here in Song Dynasty, and some Buddhist scriptures have even been lost in India!
Through Buddhism as a link, Song Dynasty can always find some people who can help Song Dynasty in wonderful places.

For example, the Shiyitian who came here this time is such a friend of Da Song.He was born in the royal family of Goryeo, and he is an eminent monk of the Huayan Sect in Goryeo!Even in the Song Dynasty, he was respected for his cultivation of Buddhism. As for Korea, he was like a Living Buddha!

When he was in Yuanfeng, he had already come to the court to obtain the scriptures, and debated the Dharma with the monks of the Song Dynasty, which was recognized.

After he returned to China, he used his identity to quietly help Da Song contact Jurchen.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, he also relied on this great monk to connect with the Jurchens.

However, now, Zhao Xu no longer needs this channel.

He has the confidence to rely on Da Song's own strength to unify the world!

But Zhao Xu still respects Shi Yitian very much.

Dangdian gave Shi Yitian a purple robe and allowed him to enter the court to study Buddhist scriptures.

This moved Shi Yitian very much, so he recited the Buddha's name in the hall and asked, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to repay you, I don't know if Your Majesty has entrustment?"

"After the master returned to the country, spreading the Dharma, making the Dharma merciful, and illuminating Korea, is the greatest repayment to me!"

Shi Yitian looked at the young emperor of the Song Dynasty who was sitting on the throne with a compassionate face.

Immediately put the palms together and worshiped: "Amitabha Buddha! Your Majesty is compassionate, and will protect the Buddha, with unparalleled blessings and longevity..."

Zhao Xu has long learned to deal with monks in modern times, knowing what they like?
Then he put his palms together and said, "Excellent! Excellent!"

"After the master returns to the country, he will spread the Dharma for five years. After five years, he can come to the Song Dynasty again. At that time, I will prepare [-] volumes of Buddhist scriptures for the master, for the purpose of spreading the Dharma..."

Five years from now, movable type printing should have come of age!
It is a great time to print a large number of Buddhist scriptures and sell half to Korea, Japan, Cochin and other places!

Shi Yitian heard the words, and quickly thanked you again, saying: "Your Majesty worships the Buddha and promotes the Dharma so much, the Buddha will definitely bless His Majesty!"

He felt that at such a young age, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty already seemed to have the mind of a Buddha, which was really rare!
The two palaces are also very satisfied with Zhao Xu's performance.

As everyone knows, Zhao Xu is attracted to the special influence of Buddhism.

I want to learn from the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and give myself an extra Buddhist title.

For example, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Wheel-Turning King and so on.

……

Shi Yitian's coming to court was just a small episode.

After sending the eminent monk away from Goryeo, the two palaces summoned the Minister of Zaizhi, as well as Yaojun and Zhengren Wuchen in Beijing.

Then he went to the Chongzheng Hall again to receive an audience from the Xixia envoy.

This time, Wei Ming Mo Duo did not dare to make any rash moves.

He arrived in front of the Chongzheng Hall cautiously and fearfully, and he didn't dare to imitate the hands-on-the-chest salute that the party members learned from the Western Regions.

Using the orthodox Central Plains etiquette, he bowed and bowed again: "By the order of the King of Xia, the Queen Mother and the King of Xia, Foreign Minister Mo Duo, I bow again to the Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cisheng, His Majesty the Emperor..."

So, he solemnly held the letter of departure and presented it in his hand.

The ministers of Tongjian Division took the letter of credence and respectfully sent it to the hall.

Zhao Xu didn't bother to read it, because he could guess that the contents of Xi Piai's credentials were nothing more than soft words and good words, and he wanted to take advantage of them!

It's okay to take advantage of it!

The key thief never recognizes the peace treaty he signed.

The treaty they signed is like waste paper, they will tear it up at any time if they think it is necessary!

Just like Zhao Xu's last life, Yuanyou era, Sima Guang was not good enough to them?
As a result, before the ink on the peace treaty was dry, the Western Thieves joined forces with Qingtang and Tubo to enter Kouxi Helanhui Road!

Sima Guang was slapped in the face!
So, Zhao Xu was sent directly into the curtain.

The Queen Mother received the letter of credence first. After reading the contents of the letter of credence, her expression became solemn.

Immediately she said angrily, "Does Xia Guo want to go to war?"

In the national book, Xi Zei's words are well spoken, and it is said that the past was a misunderstanding, and we all know that we were wrong. Please be kind to Da Song.

It also means that the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty who are willing to exchange prisoners express their sincerity.

He also said that as long as the Song Dynasty is willing, the two countries can stop fighting and make peace from now on, and their descendants will not be able to afford to fight.

The Empress Dowager likes these very much.

but……

As soon as the conversation changed, the Western thieves put forward their conditions.

The Qingli peace treaty request for restoration of Suici...

This is no problem.

Request to reopen the border market...

That's no problem either.

Request the Great Song Dynasty to return the "homeland of our country" occupied since Xining.

This is debatable.

Need to see where it is?
Then, the Empress Dowager saw Xihe Road, which was ranked first...

Her blood pressure rose instantly!
What else are you talking about?
How dare she agree to such a condition?
The officials just sat there and watched!
Seeing the expression of the Empress Dowager Xiang, she took the letter of credence, and then...

Empress Dowager Xiang's face immediately turned red!

"How dare they, how dare they make such a request?"

"Unforgivable...unforgivable..."

Queen Mother Xiang's hands were shaking.

How dare she agree to such a condition?
Not to mention agreeing, we can’t even discuss it!
The late emperor handed over the ancestral foundation to the sixth brother. The sixth brother was young, and asked her and the empress of Baoci Palace to assist...

The soil of the ancestors is king soil in size!
This is what Brother Six himself said!
The western thief actually wants Da Song to cede land now? !
And the opening is Xihe Road and a lot of border fortresses...

Has Da Song lost this war?

Even if the war is defeated, there is no need to cut so much land, right?
What do they think of Bengong and Sixth Brother?
