At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 22 Do what you need to do
"Fathers and fellow villagers, come and take a look. The heads of the thieves and generals are all confidants and favorites of the thieves and the puppet emperor. There are seals and flags to prove it."

On the streets, soldiers carried heads on bamboo poles, held flags and armors with seals, and shouted as they walked.

"Liu Taiwei was brave and invincible. He killed five thousand bandits in one battle. Dong Wenbing's younger brother Dong Wenyong and his son Dong Shiyuan were all beheaded by the bandit generals. Now that the bandits have retreated, Taizhou is safe and sound."

"Good~"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. He was born according to the destiny of heaven. He taught Liu Shiyong the magic of thunder. Under the thunder of heaven, all thieves will be defeated."

"The official is mighty~"

Countless melon-eating people followed behind, bursting into cheers from time to time.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the soldiers hung their heads on the top of the city, built a shed, and displayed the trophies one by one. Almost everyone in the city came to see them.

The adults were making a lot of noise, the children were running around, and the vendors took the opportunity to do business, which was very lively.

"By His Majesty's grace, the curfew is lifted tonight to celebrate the great victory on the front line."

"Long live the official family~"

The residents burst into loud cheers.

Since the emperor was stationed in Wenzhou, the curfew was restarted. Many people were unable to have fun, and even more people lost the opportunity to make money. When they heard that the curfew had been lifted, they were all happy.

In the state government office, Zhao Shi couldn't help showing an old father's smile when he heard the tsunami-like cheers outside.

After a great victory, the army and the people were inspired. They should be less afraid of the Yuan army, right?
After a while, Zhao Shi withdrew his attention and said, "Liu Shiyong plus Taiwei, Lin Jingxi and Zhang Shuangguo plus bachelors, all conferred Marquis titles and shadowed their wives, what do you think?"

"There is no wiser person than Your Majesty," everyone replied.

Promote the official rank and title, give treatment to family members, and keep your own position and rights unchanged.

With the current territory, I cannot be given a higher position, and this will prevent me from being rewarded for my outstanding achievements in the future. After all, the war will be long in the future, and who knows how much more achievements I can make.

"In this case, the Secretary will first determine the details, and the Privy Council will immediately prepare an edict and issue it after verifying that the results are correct." Zhao made the final decision.

Zhao Shi did not believe that Liu Shiyong would falsely report his record, but Xie Fang was right, and the procedures could not be messed up.

"In addition, Liu Shiyong submitted a report to recover Tiantai and Xianju counties. What do you think?"

Xie Fangde said: "Under Pu Tian, ​​is it not the king's land? Guang two counties are originally the hinterland?"

This reason is so legitimate and powerful that it is impossible to refute it.

To this day, the natural responsibility of an emperor is to protect the land and bring peace to the people, and to be able to recover lost territory without taking it back is not what a serious emperor should do.

Of course, Zhao Laosan, Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, was not serious from the beginning. If Zhao did not occupy the second county because of his strength, it would barely make sense.

Zhao Shi thought for a moment and asked, "Does Liu Shiyong have enough troops? And who should guard it?"

Zhao Jifu said: "Wenzhou City currently has [-] troops, and [-] can be sent to reinforce Taizhou. Liu Shiyong will arrange the defense."

Liu Fu said: "Fu Zhuo, the staff officer of the Grand Master, knows military affairs, is calm and capable, and he knows the affairs of Tiantai County as well as the garrison. His relative, Yu Rusi, is loyal and talented, so he knows the affairs of Xianju and the garrison."

Liu Fu's proposal was in line with Zhao Shi's wishes, but Xie Fangde said: "Yu Rusi was born as a relative of King Ning, so it is not suitable for him to be in charge of the place. I ask you to guard the Xianju."

Zhao Shi asked: "Are you worried about Yu Rusi's support for the army and his independence?"

"That's what I meant." Xie Fangde said: "I heard that when I left Lin'an, Yang Liangjie betrayed His Majesty, and Yu Rusi betrayed King Ning. This is not loyalty, but just a matter of personal relationship.

Now that King Ning is supervising the country in Fuzhou, it is originally a temporary measure, and his wings should not be allowed to grow in order to prevent unbearable things from being said. "

Zhao Shi said: "There is nothing wrong with what you are thinking, but things are subject to change and we cannot stick to the rules.

How about using Yu Rusiquan to know the affairs of Pingyang County, and Xu Chen to know the affairs of Tiantai County, and the garrison should be recommended by Lin Jingxi, Zhang Shuangguo and Liu Shiyong? "

Xie Fangde said: "I still think that Yu Rusi can't go out to guard the place."

"Your Majesty." Huang Zhen stepped forward and said: "Since the Western Han Dynasty, there have been disasters caused by foreign relatives, and successive generations have learned from this. Therefore, Taizu's legacy only respects nobility and generous salary, but does not grant power.

Nowadays, the country is in danger and people are appointed only on the basis of virtue. Therefore, Yang Liangjie and his son can take charge of the army, and the prince can join the Privy Council.However, Yu Rushi is the grandfather of King Ning, and he is in charge of the place. If he is deceived by villains, King Ning will be implicated. If your Majesty loves King Ning, you must be careful not to make any mistakes, so as not to damage the harmony of the brothers. "

Liu Fu said: "Your Majesty, Xie Fangde and Huang Zhen are both loyal and upright ministers. Their plans are for the ages. Please elaborate on them."

Zhao Shi glanced at Lu Xiufu and couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw that he was standing upright but showed no intention of speaking.

He just wanted to promote someone, but the emperor felt a little aggrieved when he was criticized back and forth.

Probably aware of the emperor's bad mood, Lu Xiufu finally spoke and said: "Your Majesty trusts people and loves others, and wants to use Yu Rushi to go out to guard the place. This is just human nature. However, what the ministers said is reasonable, and your Majesty must not ignore it.

At this time, King Ning is young, and his brothers and sisters complement each other. When King Ning grows up, who knows if he is still innocent?

For the sake of long-term planning, if not His Majesty's relatives, they should not be used. Even His Majesty's relatives should be limited to controlling the palace and should not interfere in politics. "

"Forget it, you will decide on the candidate yourself." Zhao Shi lost his temper.

That’s it, what else can be done?

Look at the previous sixteen emperors, which one has not been criticized by civil servants and made them doubt their life?The reason why ministers like Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, and Li Gang were often demoted from the court was because they annoyed the emperor too much.

Now everyone sees that Zhao Shi is young and only focuses on persuasion, and his tone is relatively soft, otherwise Zhao Shi will be so angry that he will have a cerebral hemorrhage.

"No one is wiser than Your Majesty." Xie Fangda smiled like an old father.

Zhao Shi suppressed his emotions and asked: "Dong Wenbing has suffered from an old illness and will not be able to lead the army again. Who do you think will be his successor?"

Then the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Zhao Jifu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "There are countless good ministers and generals of the Yuan Dynasty, and there are many people who can succeed Dong Wenbing. I really dare not make any assumptions."

Zhao Shi said: "Knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle. If you don't know the opponent's commander, how should you deal with it? Let's analyze it and make plans according to the possible candidates."

Zhao Jifu replied: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I don't know the details of the personnel in the governor's offices of Yuanlu and Zhejiang, nor do I know the responsibilities of the officials in various places. It is really impossible to analyze."

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't know the importance of the information, it's because the information is not available." Lu Xiufu explained.

Zhao Shi asked: "How did the imperial court obtain information about Yuan Lu?"

Liu Fu replied: "Usually, righteous men take the initiative to retaliate or send people to go."

Is it okay to lack a professional intelligence agency?

Zhao Shi said: "I want to re-establish the Imperial City Division, dedicated to investigating the Yuanlu intelligence, delivering news, instigating rebellion, and assassinating Yuanlu officers and generals. What do you think?"

Lu Xiufu asked back: "Your Majesty may guarantee that it will not be internal?"

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhao Da established the Imperial City Division, but its main responsibilities were

Exploring the situation in the army, preventing conspiracies and disturbances, and preventing the story of the yellow robe from happening again.

It was only a part-time job to the outside world. As for supervising hundreds of officials... with the strength of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty, the existence of the Imperial City Division was already a big deal.

The time when it had the most sense of existence was during the Huizong Dynasty, when the eunuch Yang Jian
He was in charge of the Imperial City Department and robbed countless people's land in Shandong, which caused a lot of trouble.

Those who know the law and break it are heroes, those who investigate information are rubbish, and their status is not even that of a younger brother compared to the Jin Yiwei, so Lu Xiufu's rhetorical question represents everyone's opinion.

If the Imperial City Division is still the same as before, there is really no need to reset it.

"A wise king and a wise general are those who move to conquer others and succeed among others, they are also prophets. A prophet cannot be obtained from ghosts and gods, cannot be imitated by things, and cannot be tested by experience. He must be obtained from people, and he is a person who knows the enemy's mood." "

Zhao Shi dropped his book bag and continued: "In addition to external affairs, the Imperial City Department also needs to investigate Yuan Lu's details to ensure that confidentiality is not lost. As for internal supervision of the military and civilians, they are all dismissed."

In the Ming Dynasty, there was Jinyiwei first and then Dongchang, which was majestic, but the emperor was also so disgusted that he was unwilling to go to court.

So the intelligence agency did what it was supposed to do. As for whether it was a pleasure to be the emperor, Zhao said he would wait until he grew up.
