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

Chapter 54 The Heroic Young Emperor
It was May [-], Dadu, at noon, the sun was blazing in the sky, and the weather was hot.

Xie Daoqing held the six-year-old Zhao tightly, not to mention moving and not even daring to take a breath. Empress Dowager Quanjiu was beside him, also dripping with sweat.

After a while, he heard the call from above, "Xuan Zhao and Xie Daoqing are here to meet you." Xie Daoqing hurriedly pulled Zhao and walked up the steps step by step.

Entering the main hall, before seeing Kublai Khan, Xie Daoqing pulled Zhao to bow down and said: "The guilty minister Xie Daoqing is leaning towards Zhao to pay homage to Emperor Dayuan Renming Shenwu."

Kublai Khan said: "Without courtesy, come closer and speak."

"I thank you for your kindness." Xie Daoqing bowed before him again.

At this moment, she was not the Queen Mother, but an old woman who wanted to save her grandson's life.

When he got close, Kublai Khan looked at everyone for a moment, but did not "give a bath" to Quan Jiu. He only said: "You, an orphan and a widowed mother, have been manipulated both internally and externally. What crime have you committed? I am not embarrassed, and I will grant Zhao Jiang the title of Kaifu." Yi Tong Sansi, Ying Guogong, Xie Daoqing's wife of Shouchun County, Quanjiu Yongjia County's wife..."

"I thank God for his grace." Xie Daoqing choked and said, "The Holy Lord is merciful and has preserved the Zhao family's incense. The descendants of the Zhao family will not dare to forget it for generations to come."

Kublai Khan suddenly laughed and asked: "When Zhao Fu died, why did you choose the second son instead of the eldest son?"

Xie Daoqing replied: "At that time, Jia Sidao had exclusive power, and I could not make the decision."

Oh, Kublai Khan did not ask further questions and said: "If the Zhao family's eldest son were the king, the situation might be different."

Xie Daoqing was thinking about how to survive all day long, and was cut off from the news. He didn't know a series of things that happened after Zhao ascended the throne.

But for her, as long as she could survive and not suffer the humiliation of Emperor Huiqin, that would be good.

Of course, when Xie Daoqing made up his mind to surrender, it was also because Kublai Khan's edict made it clear that he would not perform the "sheep-leading ceremony".

After Xie Daoqing and others left, Prime Minister Ahema of the Left said: "Great Khan, why not ask him to surrender the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Kublai Khan said: "How can a mere woman affect the determination of a righteous man? And my messengers are no better than women's words?"

Ahema said: "I'm afraid that the boy will be cruel and stubborn, and the angels' efforts will be in vain."

"As long as we attack with the king's army, how can one or two sharp weapons stop my elite soldiers and generals?" Kublai Khan did not take Zhao Shi seriously.

Kublai Khan had this confidence.

From the tribes to the Great Mongol Kingdom and then to the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols experienced defeats not once or twice. The defeat in the south was indeed disappointing, but it was really not a big deal.

Nowadays, the country is unprecedentedly vast, with countless talents and elite soldiers and generals. What is a mere loss?
Seeing Kublai Khan's attitude, Ahema did not dare to give Boyan eye drops, and instead talked about the time when the canal was reopened.

“Money and grain from the south were lost in all cases on the way north, all due to land transportation, so the Sui Dynasty built canals to supply the north.

Nowadays, many canals in the north are abandoned. They should be dredged or re-drilled. This will be beneficial to the future. The Great Khan has decreed. "

"Your Majesty." Qin Hao, the imperial censor, said: "There are many canals in the north that are deserted. Now dredging them is no more than opening them. The cost is huge, there will be complaints, and even the story of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty will be staged, which is not advisable.

I think that now that maritime transportation is developed, it is really convenient to use sea-going ships to travel by sea, which has less losses, fast transshipment, and does not disturb the people. "

"Your Majesty." Ahema's younger brother Geng Ren stepped forward and said, "What Yushi said is true, but it is biased.

The canal was opened in the Sui Dynasty not only to transport money and grain, but also to suppress local areas. At that time, people in the south had ulterior motives and resisted the imperial decree, so the canal was used to connect the north and the south.

It is the same today.

The canal is dredged, but if something unexpected happens, the imperial army will arrive in ten days, so why worry about the place being unstable? "

The maritime transport faction immediately refuted, and the water transport faction refuted again and again, all based on the national economy and people's livelihood, and never mentioned how much benefit they would get from it.

Kublai Khan was impatient and said: "It won't be too late to discuss it after Yangzhou is captured."

Disputes cease.

At this time, Zhao was hesitant as he watched Chen Yizhong and Zhao Yulu arguing.

The two people were arguing about Zhao's life and death.

Chen Yizhong thought that in order to avoid imperial power disputes arising from Yuan Ting's release of Zhao, he would simply treat him as dead and give him a posthumous title.

However, Zhao Yuchen thought that the court's surrender had nothing to do with Zhao, so he should not be so indifferent and just reduce himself to the king.

The two quoted scriptures and used many stories that Zhao Shi couldn't understand, which made them confused.

But Zhao knew that both of their views were unsatisfactory.

Using Chen Yizhong's method, he appeared to be too cold as an elder brother. According to Zhao Yuluo, he not only felt sorry for the loyal ministers who died for the country, but also suspected that Chen Yizhong and others took the blame.

At this time, Zhao regretted not letting Wang Yinglin and Li Tingzhi resolve the matter before leaving.After a long while, Zhao Shi said: "This matter is not urgent, let's put it aside for further discussion."

Chen Yizhong said: "Your Majesty, this matter must be concluded sooner or later. Delay is useless."

Zhao Yuchen did not speak, obviously thinking that there should be no delay.

Zhao Shi thought for a while and said: "Erlang was only five years old at that time. He was ignorant and ignorant. All the political decisions were made by Jia Sidao. He was really not guilty."

At this time, we can't even say that there is something wrong with Xie Daoqing, because the Queen Mother is Zhao Shi's biological grandmother, and casual criticism is suspected of being unfilial.

Ruling the world with filial piety is one of the legal principles that cannot be shaken.

"However, as a descendant of the Zhao family, he should be responsible. Erlang is the emperor, and he should bear the weight of the country. There are ministers to discuss his posthumous title. If there is any criticism, I will fully bear it."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

After all, it is the emperor who bears everything. Of course, only the emperor can bear this matter. After all, it is about the emperor's authority.

Zeng Yuan, the new Minister of Punishment, said: "Your Majesty, the Zhou Wenzhen case has been concluded. Please take a look at it."

Zhao Shi opened the memorial and found that Zhou Wenzhen had embezzled more than [-] yuan in bribes, but was only sentenced to exile. He was very unhappy.

What is the concept of [-] yuan?Nowadays, soldiers only spend the same amount of food in a month.

"The national situation is so difficult. How can we respect you if we don't kill the silverfish?" Zhao Shi said.

"Your Majesty, according to the order, it is not appropriate to kill. This is decided by the three departments." said Dali Temple Qing Mou.

Zhou Wenzhen judged Wenzhou affairs as a direct bachelor of Fu Wenge, and he was properly judged by the third grade and worthy of a joint review by the three divisions.

The death penalty for scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty has been essentially abolished, and exile is the limit. The difference lies in where they are exiled.

The Zhao family shares the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, but Zhao currently has no strength and has to hold his nose and endure this situation.

Zhao Shi asked: "Liuqiu is being developed and there are disturbances from the indigenous people. If it colludes with the indigenous people, it may cause serious trouble. Can it be moved elsewhere?"

"His Majesty Fu Wei is the Holy Judge," Zeng Yuan said.

Zhao Shi thought for a moment and asked, "How about Qiong taking charge of the Comfort Division?"

Lu Xiufu replied: "To this day, there is still no news, and the status of each military state is unknown."

"Send people to spy on him. If he has unknown information and has not reported it to the public, he will be retained by each of them. If he rebels, Guangdong will choose an opportunity to invade." After arranging Hainan Island in one sentence, Zhao Shi added: "Zhou Wenzhen will be exiled."

Now that the government affairs are done, everyone should do what they should do.

Zhang Shuangguo had just returned to the yamen when Yu Wengang came over and handed him a small piece of paper. When he opened it, the words "Make the sick die" appeared on the paper, written by the emperor himself.

Zhang Shuangguo hesitated for a moment and said: "Such a silverfish is not tolerated by heaven, and they will surely die of illness."

Yu Wengang cupped his hands and said nothing.

The emperor handing a small note was not a glorious thing, but it was a helpless act.

There was no other way, so Zhao Dahuangpao was added to his position. In order to consolidate his power, he had to win over the literati. However, he had the ability, so the law was very strict. It stipulated that "any prisoner who violates the law by receiving money from the chief executive will be punished by one hundred for one foot and one hundred for one." One horse plus one, fifteen horses tied." Zhou Wenzhen was hanged a thousand times.

At the time of Shenzong, the sentence "Order the officials to pay the stolen goods to the deceased, and the punishment will not be increased, but will always be customized", which completely became a scholar-official who could not be punished. From then on, the only civil official who directly sentenced to death was Zhao Guang, the magistrate of Qingxi County during the Fangla Uprising. , was accused of allowing thieves to lose territory, but was actually the scapegoat for the treacherous minister Wang Fu to conceal military information.

Jia Sidao, who was directly responsible for the demise of the Song Dynasty, was demoted to the deputy envoy of Tuanlian in Gaozhou and resettled in the state, even though everyone in the world said he should be killed.

If Zhao publicly killed Zhou Wenzhen, all the officials in the court would object. After all, the premise of "Zhao and the scholar-bureaucrats sharing the world" is immortality. Without this privilege, who wouldn't be worried all day long?
If Kublai Khan is killed, he will be killed. Zhao really can't do it, and he still expects everyone to unite and revitalize the country.

Yu Wengang turned around and told Zhang Shuangguo's reaction. Zhao Shidao said: "When Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan are executed, they can be made marquis."

Now Zhang Shuangguo has promoted the imperial city department to a fourth-grade official, which cannot be said to be low, but it is at the same level as the magistrate, which is not high.

As for the second-grade marquis to take charge of the fourth-grade affairs, he not only trusted Zhang Shuangguo, but also valued the Imperial City Division. The most important thing was that the emperor wanted a sword.
