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

Chapter 57 Super Pancake
"Kill~" Zhao Shi stabbed out his spear and hit the straw man in the throat while shouting violently.

"Okay, Guan's gun is full of evil spirit. If it goes into battle, it will be invincible." Zhao Zhenglian shouted.

Zhao rolled his eyes helplessly and ignored her.

After practicing for a while, he was sweating profusely. Zhu Ming hurried over to stop him, wiped away the sweat and replenished water, being very cautious, for fear that the emperor would get sick again.

Zhao Shi drank the water and said: "The weather is so hot. Soldiers everywhere must be very hot. Does the imperial doctor have any medicine?"

Zhu Ming replied: "There is medicine, but the quantity is small and not enough to supply the army."

Zhao Shi asked: "Can't we plant it artificially?"

"There is some kind, but not much. Normal civilians have enough, but now there are more than [-] troops, which is really not enough to supply." Zhu Ming replied.

Zhao Shidao: "The Taiyuan Hospital should study the cultivation of medicinal materials and encourage farmers to plant them and increase production."

"I obey the imperial edict." Zhu Ming responded.

When I returned to Xingzai, I saw everyone gathered together, everyone looking very excited.

"But there is good news?" Zhao Shi asked.

"Your Majesty." Lu Xiufu said: "The sea speedboat came to report a great victory. Yuan captured 32 ships. Only the thief Zhang Xuan escaped. The rest were killed. 28 ships were captured and three were sunk.

After investigation, 2 shi of grain and rice were seized this time, as well as numerous crown robes, riding carriages, ritual utensils, books, and atlases. "

"Okay!" Zhao Shi clapped his hands and said, "It's good news again, and Jiang Qing should be the first to contribute."

Jiang Dongting said: "This is your majesty's sage. The telescope can observe the military situation from a distance, and the sky thunder is invincible. The two have completely changed the mode of naval warfare. The Yuan captives were unprepared, so they were defeated. I really have no merit."

"Don't be humble. I am aware of your merits." Zhao Shi said: "There are many rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River. Those who are good at navy will win. Nowadays, naval battles are the only way to show your power. It is only the battle of rivers.

I think that the Privy Council and the Privy Council should both know that one of them should come out of the Navy. Now that Jiang Dongting has just made great achievements, we can both know the Privy Council. What do you think? "

Jiang Dongting quickly declined and said: "I have little virtue and little talent, so I am not of much use. I am afraid that I will miss important military and national affairs. Please choose someone else who is worthy of your Majesty."

Chen Yizhong said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the navy, and it should be taken for granted. However, Jiang Dongting has reached a high position and has not made enough contributions. He is suddenly promoted, and he may cause criticism. This is not a good thing."

Zhang Jian said: "Your Majesty, such a promotion is against the system, and I cannot obey the imperial edict."

Tongzhi Privy Council is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, the second rank, and according to the new practice, a marquis will be added.

This is a big deal.

Jiang Wanzai is the king of the county, and he is a super-class person. Fortunately, he is already over 70, and he doesn't know how long he can live, but it doesn't matter.

However, Jiang Zheng and Jiang Qiu are both deputy stewards of the Marquis and senior officials of the second rank. Now add Jiang Dongting, and there are so many Jiang family children serving in the army. It can be said that half of the army of the country is in the hands of the Jiang family. So, The question is, whose family does this court belong to?
For details, please refer to the process of Zhao Da’s rise to power.

No one will use this excuse to object. The emperor has said that unity is the most important thing, and the Jiang family is indeed unparalleled in loyalty, but the bottom line cannot be compromised.

What if?
"Your Majesty," Lu Xiufu said, "Chen Yi made greater contributions by going north to rescue Yangzhou, and he is proficient in naval warfare. When he comes back, it will not be too late to ask Privy Councilor Zhang for his opinion."

Ma Tingluan said: “Nowadays, there are countless ships of the imperial court traveling on the sea, going to Japan in the north and Tianzhu in the south.

Moreover, Wenzhou's food is all dependent on the sea, and the development flow is even more inseparable from sea ships, and Jiangdu has no knowledge of maritime affairs, so it is not appropriate to be acquainted with it. "

Seeing so many people opposed, Zhao Shi could not force Jiang Dongting to take over, so he had to say: "Now the army is stalling. In addition to the hot weather and lack of food, river blocking is also a major difficulty. It is even more necessary to speed up the construction of the navy. Therefore, The Privy Councilor, who has a naval background, knows that it is imperative to do this, do you have any suitable candidates?"

If so, how could it be possible to summon Jiang Dongting back?
But everyone just didn't agree with Jiang Dongting taking the position, and Jiang Dongting himself refused, leaving Zhao Shi helpless.

"In that case, please discuss it with your ministers." Zhao Shi waved his hands and walked away.

Lu Xiufu followed and went to a quiet place to express everyone's concerns.

However, Zhao Shi did not take it seriously and said: "You can't be wrong to worry. After all, Taizu came to the throne because of this. However, the country has been in the hearts of the people for 320 years. Not to mention the Jiang family's loyalty. Even if they have ulterior motives, how many people can there be?" follow?"

The Jiang family's personality and code of conduct are that loyalty comes first, and usurping the throne is a matter of bad people. I don't know whether they can succeed. Social death is certain.

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, people's hearts are unpredictable and must be guarded against. Since Jiang Dongting is only 28 years old, Your Majesty has appointed him as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Now that the war is going on, he must have made a lot of achievements. What will he do in the future?" , there is no reward, the relationship between king and minister is no longer there, so I can only kill him.

And if Jiang Dongting is killed, Jiang Zhu, Jiang Zheng and the old members of the Jiang family can be left?Now is the era when soldiers are the generals!

Once the chain of suspicion is formed, there is no way to solve it except to kill. Therefore, emperors in the past dynasties mostly killed large groups of heroes at once.

"Actually, I have thought about it, and this matter is not difficult to solve." Zhao Shi said: "How big are the islands in the southeastern countries, and the hero can be a real prince, just like the story of Zhou Dynasty, what do you think?"

The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was in the middle, and the princes and kings divided the borders and opened up territories while protecting the emperor. As a result, the world became larger and larger. Lu Xiufu thought about it seriously for a moment and felt that it was really feasible.

At the beginning, the enfeoffment system was implemented in Zhou Dynasty because the central government was beyond the reach of remote areas. Although the later world colonial era was not enfeoffment, it was similar to enfeoffment.

It's the same problem now. For example, if we capture Champa and start from Lin'an, we travel for three months at a time. If something happens, the central government won't have time to react.

Lu Xiufu said: "If your Majesty tells the public about this matter, they will definitely work hard!"

Zhao Shi went back and explained his plan to implement the enfeoffment system, and then said: "The Central Plains cannot be divided, but the Central Plains has too many people and too little land to be divided, and it will inevitably move outward.

There is land thousands of miles east of Liuqiu, comparable to the land of the Central Plains. South of the seawall, there are many large islands. Further south, there is also a large island that can support tens of millions of people.

The center is beyond the reach of the whip. Instead of becoming the Jiaozhi of Qin and Han Dynasties, it is better to award meritorious ministers. Who knows that it will not become today's Fujian and Guangdong? "

"Your Majesty's candle shines thousands of miles away. Since ancient times, no one has a far-sighted vision better than Your Majesty." Chen Yizhong immediately flattered him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The ministers immediately bowed down.

I originally thought that working hard to become prime minister, and then adding a grand master to retire, and posthumously bequeathing a county king would be the pinnacle of life, but I didn't expect that there would be an opportunity to break the earth and become a king and become a lonely man. Who wouldn't want to seize this opportunity?
If you think boldly and run your business well, how can you know that there won't be a Qin Shihuang in future generations?

Zhao Shi said: "It is too far away to say this now. The country must be restored before we can plan overseas. If the Central Plains is lost, we, the monarchs and ministers, can only struggle to survive. Don't think about breaking the earth and becoming a king."

"If I dare not do my best, I will help your majesty restore the country as soon as possible." Chen Yizhong took the lead in expressing his position.

"Your Majesty has a destiny. Restoring the country is only a matter of time. I will definitely be devastated." Wang Jiweng, who had recently defected and took office, said to Wang Jiweng.

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and I felt particularly motivated.

Everyone knew that the cake painted by the emperor was far away. Not to mention the smell, even the shadow could not be seen. However, the temptation of this cake was too great, and everyone could not help but be tempted.

Putting down the officials who had been beaten like chicken blood, Zhao Shi summoned Zhao Jirui alone, and asked: "If my memory is correct, the clan Zhao Zhenglian is not married yet, is it?"

"I'm sorry." Zhao Jirui took out a small book, doubled it, and said, "That's true."

No, so this guy can only be Zong Zheng. He has no good memory and can only be cautious.

Zhao Shi said: "Eight out of twenty Jiang Dongting, his wives all died in the national disaster, I want Zhao Zhenglian to match Jiang Dongting, what does Zong Zheng think?"

"His Majesty Fu Wei is the Holy Judge." Zhao Jirui did not express his position, but this was his attitude.

The emperor proposes a marriage, can he refuse?

No matter how willful Zhao Zhenglian is, or how much Zhao Jifu dotes on her, marriage is a matter of the emperor's word.

Zhao Shi summed it up and said: "Add Zhao Zhenglian as Princess Qiantang, recruit Jiang Dongting as the consort of Princess Qiantang, call Zhao Jifu back to Wenzhou to preside over the marriage, and the central government will select talents to replace him."

"I will discuss with you sir immediately." Zhao Jirui agreed.

He also realized at this time that the emperor still wanted to push Jiang Dongting to the throne.

This is not because the emperor believes that his big cake can attract people. In fact, there are really not many princes in the court who are proficient in water affairs. Since they are afraid of something happening in Jiangdongting, they will become one of their own.

Just as Zhao Jirui was about to say goodbye and leave, he heard Zhao Shi say: "Zong Zheng goes back and lists the virtuous women of the clan who are of suitable age and the ministers who are above the fifth rank but below forty years old and have no wives."

"I obey the imperial edict." Zhao Jirui felt that his head was a little big. This was Yue Lao's job. If he was not careful, he would offend people for life. It was really not easy to do.

But marriage was such a useful thing, and it was impossible not to use it. Zhao Jirui could only do it according to the emperor's wishes.
