Chapter 412 0408 [In order to fight foreign affairs, we must first settle the domestic affairs]

Han Zhen designated the country's name as Qi, and Jianyuan selected events from the Yellow Emperor's calendar and sent them along the inns to Shandong, Hebei, western Beijing, Lianghuai and other places.

With the Qingzhou Daily's propaganda, in just a few days, even the people of Zhao and Song in the south knew about it.

And Si Tianjian finally calculated that the good day would be the eighth day of August.

The explanation given by Si Tianjianjianzheng is that the six-chen watch is auspicious, and it also corresponds to the "Biography of Emperor Mu".

[King Mu undresses the Queen Mother of the West at the Yao Pond on the side of Kunlun]

On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, the Queen Mother of the West holds a Yaochi Convention to entertain a group of gods.

After the date for the enthronement ceremony was set, groups of envoys rushed to Xixia, Jin, Zhao, Song, Dali and other countries.

On the fifth day when the Zhao and Song envoys arrived in Bianjing, Han Zhen finally issued an order to receive them.

Qin Hui stepped on the stone slab printed with entwining flower patterns and looked at the Chui Gong Hall in front of him, with a hint of disdain hidden deep in his eyes.

Be crowned by the monkey!

Yes, this is the consistent view of the aristocracy and scholar-bureaucrats on peasant uprisings.

This was true from the time of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to the late Qing Dynasty.

Farmers are not human beings!

They are just a bunch of bastards. So what if they have conquered the territory? They are just clowns. How long can they be so powerful?

Just because, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Song Dynasty, no one had ever heard of the peasant uprising that conquered the world!

It has always been a peasant uprising, and in the end the peaches were picked by aristocratic family members.

Strictly speaking, Liu Bang is not considered a peasant uprising, because he was a low-level official in the Qin Dynasty, and initially took refuge with the noble Jingju, and then switched to the service of Xiong Xin, King Chuhuai, a descendant of the Chu royal family.

Who made Liu Bang the King of Han?

It's Xiang Yu!

Zhu Yuanzhang can barely be counted as half. He was indeed a farmer at the beginning of the uprising, but he soon married Queen Ma and completed the change in identity.

Needless to say, who does Li Shanchang represent?

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang went on a killing spree after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was because the Huaixi power behind Li Shanchang was so great that it frightened him and kept him awake at night.

There is money, food, soldiers, generals, and most importantly, fame. What emperor would not be afraid of this?

I am afraid that only Li Erfeng, a general with a talent of between 3,000 and 100,000, could suppress him with his supreme prestige.

Those who truly belonged to the peasant uprising were Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Li Zicheng, and Hong Xiuquan.

From the beginning to the end of the uprising, Li Zicheng was always on the opposite side of the bureaucrats and the landlords and gentry.

The reason for his failure was that there was too little unity.

The territory was secured, but no one was available.

Han Zhen learned from Li Zicheng's experience and found a new way to win over the subordinate officials, who were not valued and had great power.

At the same time, the bureaucratic landlord class was divided.

……

Walking along the stairs into the Chui Gong Hall, Qin Hui bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Qin Hui, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, pays homage to His Majesty the State of Qi!"

"No gift!"

A dull voice sounded from my ears.

Qin Hui straightened up and had the opportunity to quietly look at Han Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the palace.

Extraordinarily heroic and domineering.

Just sitting there makes people feel an invisible pressure.

Qin Hui lowered his head slightly and thought to himself, I am afraid that at the end of Qin Dynasty, the majesty of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was no more than this.

Han Zhen looked Qin Hui up and down, and he had to say that in terms of appearance and temperament, he could be called a handsome man.

Appearance is the most basic condition for a traitor.

Throughout history, which notorious traitor is not a talented person?

Han Zhen spoke slowly: "What is the purpose of the envoy from the Song Dynasty coming here?"

Qin Hui said with a humble face: "I am on my way to your country for two purposes. The first is to congratulate His Majesty on establishing the Yuan Dynasty and proclaiming the emperor and being honored with a great honor! This is a congratulatory gift prepared by His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Please take a look at it."

As he spoke, he took out a red gift book from his sleeve pocket and presented it respectfully.

After Liu Chang took it, he handed it to Han Zhen.

I beat you and occupied the capital of Zhao and Song Dynasty, but now you have to send envoys to congratulate me.

It may seem embarrassing, but in fact it is a very practical diplomatic method.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

Start with a high tone, keep a low profile, and give enough face. Then the peace talks will be much easier.

Moreover, after receiving the congratulatory gifts, it is no longer easy to be aggressive during peace talks.

For example, the Xiongnu Maodun Chanyu humiliated Empress Lu with a love letter and asked Lu Pheasant to sleep with him. Did the Han Dynasty fall out?

No, Lu Pheasant wrote back, saying that he was old and losing his beauty, and offered gold, silver and beauties.

A hundred years later, Huo Qubing sealed Langju Xu and killed hundreds of Huns. Looking back at this period of history, it was completely different.

Holding the gift book, Han Zhen did not check it, but raised a playful smile: "What about the second thing?"

Seeing this scene, Qin Hui's heart skipped a beat.

"This……"

At this moment, Qin Hui could only bite the bullet and said: "The second thing is about the peace talks between Song and Qi. Both Song and Qi are sons of the Han family. Now the barbarians in the north are eyeing each other. How can they kill each other? Why not stop fighting? , unanimously communicate to the outside world.”

Han Zhen asked: "As a minister of the Song Dynasty, don't you hear that Zhao Pu once said that when fighting against foreign aggression, you must first make peace at home?"

It was Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, who first put forward the strategy of settling the internal affairs first before resisting foreign aggression.

[China is now at peace, and the barbarians have surrendered. This old husband, if you want to fight outside, you must first settle down inside.】

When Han Zhen took it out at this moment, he was using his spear to attack his shield.

In fact, this strategy is correct. Before going external, all internal forces must be united. However, after it was quoted by Chang Kaishen, it changed a bit.

This is like Mount Tai for the Zen ceremony. Since Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty went there, no emperor in later generations has ever gone to Mount Tai for the Zen ceremony.

Too bad!

In the end, Qin Hui was quick-thinking, and he gained wisdom out of desperation: "What Xianggong Zhao said about internal peace is unity. And today is different from the past. When the Song Dynasty was first established, it was surrounded by enemies on all sides, including the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Han Dynasty in the north, and the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue in the south. There are Dangxiang and Liugu tribes in the west, and Central Shu and Liang Fujian are even more entrenched in Later Shu and Southern Han."

"If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of eternal disaster. It is for this reason that Zhao Xianggong proposed the strategy of settling the internal affairs first in order to resist foreign aggression. But it is very different now. We, the Song Dynasty, have no intention of raising an army and only want to form an alliance with your country. As a country of brothers, this is exactly what An Nei wants."

Qin Hui's speech became smoother and smoother, and he was eloquent: "After the peace talks, wouldn't it be beautiful for the Song and Qi countries to jointly defend the enemy, divide the river and govern, and exchange what they have and what they don't have?" "You are really eloquent."

Han Zhen smiled slightly: "I accepted the gift."

call!

Qin Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Zhen said: "The cabinet will discuss the peace talks with you and others, and I still have government affairs to deal with."

"The envoy resigns!"

Qin Hui bowed and left the Chui Gong Hall with satisfaction.

Walking in the imperial city, he was in high spirits.

Facilitating the peace talks is already a great achievement, and with the help of connecting Fan Lou, after returning to the court, the Wang family and their godfather will surely be able to occupy a high position after a little work.

Thinking of this, Qin Hui felt his heart surge.

……

evening.

Han Zhen returned to Yanfu Palace in the setting sun.

Zhao Fujin has been very busy these days and has no time to go out and play games.

As Han Zhen proclaimed himself emperor, her status also changed to that of a queen, and she was responsible for all matters in the harem.

Fortunately, she was the Empress of Song Dynasty and was very familiar with the harem. All the eunuchs and maids also recognized her, so no one dared to make a mistake.

Moreover, Zhao Fujin also brought along all the female officials from Shandong Shaoyang Palace to help her share a lot of pressure.

In Ruizhu Hall, a large family sat together and enjoyed dinner.

After getting along with each other for a few days, the Di sisters discovered that Zhao Fujin was indeed as Han Zhen said, gentle and skillful, and they gradually integrated into it.

He and Ma Shuyao were playing in the palace all day long, and they were very happy.

Zhao Fujin thoughtfully helped Han Zhen prepare the dishes, and then said: "Husband, the palace has been settled. I want to visit Sister Fujin tomorrow."

"Just go."

Han Zhen smiled.

"Ah."

With his approval, a smile bloomed on Zhao Fujin's beautiful cheeks.

Suddenly, Liu Chang walked in quickly, leaned over and whispered a few words.

"You guys eat first."

Han Zhen stepped out of the palace door.

All the way to the courtyard, He Li was already waiting there.

Seeing Han Zhen, He Li bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Zhi, Cai Chi and others tried to break into Gen Yue. They were caught on the spot by the imperial army and are now detained in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison."

Han Zhen was not surprised and asked: "How many people are there in total?"

He Li replied: "There are eight people in total. Except for Cai Chi, they are all descendants of Zhao Ji."

Han Zhen asked: "What is the crime for breaking into the royal garden privately?"

"Behead according to law!"

He Li hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "There is no need to behead him, he will be exiled to Nanjing Road."

It was too cheap for them to behead them, so why not throw them to Nanjing Road to open up wasteland for farming and experience the suffering of the farmers?

"Your Majesty has mercy."

He Li flattered him a little.

Han Zhen ordered: "Genyue has spent countless money and built a large scale of flowers and stones for this purpose, which has made people all over the world miserable and full of complaints. Since it is taken from the people, it will be used for the people. From now on, Genyue will be open for five days every month, and the people will pay 20 After paying the money, everyone can enter the park and play."

"The ticket money will be used for the maintenance and repair of Gen Mountain. The remaining money will be used to hire lonely elderly people in the city to be responsible for the sanitation of Gen Mountain."

He Li was stunned.

Killing someone but also killing your heart?

If this matter were known to Zhao Zhi, Cai Wei and others, they would probably want to die.

Liu Chang advised: "Your Majesty, think twice. Genyue is a royal garden. How can you allow traffickers and lackeys to play there?"

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you pay for the money Gen Yue maintains every year on my behalf?"

Liu Chang shut up immediately.

Gen Yue's thing is big and beautiful, but it's too expensive.

Countless money was spent during construction, and annual maintenance and repairs were also a huge expense.

Such a large amount of repair and maintenance expenses are spent every year to build dozens of more siege cannons for the army and distribute some coal and rice to the people in the cold winter. Isn’t it delicious?

After the opening up, it not only saved a lot of money, but also enriched the spiritual life of the people in the capital and solved the employment life of a group of lonely elderly people. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty's concern for the people is truly a blessing to the Qi Dynasty."

He Li bowed and looked in admiration.

In comparison, Zhao Ji seems even more stupid and ignorant.

After sending He Li away, Han Zhen returned to Ruizhu Palace.

Regarding government affairs, Zhao Fujin and the others never asked.

Interfering in politics in the harem is a big taboo. How could the emperor Zhao Fujin not know this?

Besides, her husband treats her very well, so how can she cause trouble to him?
