The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 120 Personal Assistant

As soon as He Ji entered the door, he asked: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that the Mongolian army is gathering, what do you know?"

"Old Aiqing, I, Song Rui, and Junshi are discussing this matter. The Mongols should not make any big moves. They probably want to harass us at most."

"Your Majesty, if Mongolia intends to go south, it will be the third time. The old minister remembers that during the reign of the first emperor, Marshal Meng repelled the first Mongolian invasion, and the second time coincided with the civil strife in Mongolia. Jia Sidao took the opportunity to negotiate peace with Mongolia. , if this third time comes true, His Majesty should have made preparations early, and it should not be regarded as a trifling matter."

"Ai Qing, don't worry, Xiangfan Lu Wende can be regarded as a famous general in our dynasty, and he will definitely guard the territory."

"Your Majesty, although the old minister doesn't understand military affairs, he also knows that the military is the first priority in wartime. Will Your Majesty temporarily slow down the progress of other aspects and go all out for armaments?"

I know that what He Ji meant is not to hinder my reform. Although the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture and Lin'an University has somewhat broken the current political structure of the imperial court, I will not slow down the speed of reform. .As a time traveler, I understand very well that the battle is about comprehensive national strength, not just the strength of the army.

"He Aiqing, I have my own opinion. Military affairs and internal affairs need to be carried out simultaneously. Aiqing, is the matter of university enrollment completed?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's over. This time, thanks to Mr. Jerry, the detailed plan he mentioned has made the admissions affairs go smoothly. The school is scheduled to start teaching on the first day of June, and there is still more than one month left (there is a leap in May) At this time, I have to renovate the school, recruit professors, and formulate school regulations to ensure the normal start of school. Your Majesty, I have had a lot of exchanges with Mr. Jerry recently, and I feel deeply."

I'm a little surprised, would an old pedant like He Ji still have deep feelings?I asked with great interest: "Really? How do you feel, let's hear it."

"Your Majesty, the veteran has always believed that my dynasty is the center of the world, and that all affairs are incomparable to the barbarians. Today, I feel that Mr. Jerry, who is from overseas, also has many advantages. At least in terms of this new school, I am far behind."

"Hehe, Lao Aiqing understands that the world is big and each has its own strengths. The land we live in belongs to a planet called Earth, and our Great Song Dynasty only occupies a small part. Description. Leaving aside, let’s take our opponent Mongolia as an example. From a small primitive tribe, it has developed into a large country with a vast territory in just a few decades. Is this accidental? I think it’s one of them There must be many aspects worth learning from my dynasty. Our ancestors said two very good words. One is to learn from each other's strengths and make up for one's weaknesses. For the Celestial Dynasty, it has a long history, so it cannot be called in vain.”

"The old minister was taught. It is mentioned in "Zhuangzi Autumn Waters" that frogs in a well cannot speak to the sea, but they are limited to emptiness. The old minister has studied for many years, and only in his later years did he realize that he is just a frog at the bottom of the well." What he has learned is the best in the world, let alone Shen Yiqiu who is proud of his talents, even Jerry admires it. After reading His Majesty's brief introduction to physical skills a few days ago, he was very excited and clamored to worship His Majesty as his teacher. Just like Master Lu, you can directly call your majesty a god-man."

I laughed and said: "Everyone has their own strengths. In terms of poetry and prose, I don't love you very much. In terms of military strategy, I am not as good as the king. In terms of local governance, I am not as good as Song Rui. That's why in "The Analects of Confucius" Well said, three people must have my teacher."

After listening to the lectures, the three said in a hurry: "The ministers are terrified, and what the ministers have learned is not as good as your majesty's hair."

"You don't need to be humble. There is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in the arts. As long as everyone works together, there is no need to worry about our failure."

"The ministers swear to follow His Majesty to the death and rejuvenate our dynasty."

"He Aiqing, in a few days, you will call Mr. Shen and Jerry together, and I will talk to you about the university."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

"Old Aiqing, remember to take care of your body. The fitness method taught by Mr. Yuan needs to be adhered to every day."

He Ji was touched and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister insists on doing it every day."

After Wen Tianxiang and others left, I commented on the memorial for a while, and said to Quan Jiu who was beside me: "Jiuer, you have worked hard these few days organizing the memorial."

"Jiu'er is not working hard, the official family, you have to approve so many memorials every day, that's hard work."

I looked at the pile of memorials on the table, thought for a while and said, "Jiu'er, you should read these memorials when you have nothing to do in the future."

Quan Jiu hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Officials, I set a precedent. The harem cannot participate in politics, and Jiuer cannot participate in political affairs. Officials must not break the rules of the ancestors because of Jiuer."

I smiled and said, "Jiu'er, the ancients said it well, the virtuous do not avoid relatives. Since ancient times, troubles have always occurred in the harem's participation in politics. This does not mean that the people in the harem have ulterior motives. It depends on the emperor at that time." What's more, I asked you to read the memorial, and I didn't ask you to approve it for me now, but I meant to let you be my personal assistant."

"Personal assistant?"

"Well, that's right. "Han Shu. List of Hundred Officials and Ministers" once said that the prime minister, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, is in charge of the emperor's assistant Wanji. All the officials in the court are my assistants, assisting me in handling major affairs in the world, As for you, Jiuer, you can do the same. How about this, you read the memorial first, and write down your opinions on the paper. After giving instructions on the memorial, I will come to see your thoughts and explain to you my instructions and your opinions. what is the difference."

"Is it really possible?"

"Of course it is possible. I will teach you slowly. If you can meet my requirements, you can share some affairs for me."

Quan Jiu excitedly said: "Official family, Jiu'er is very happy to be able to share affairs for the official family."

According to historical records, after Zhao Yu came to the throne, even the approval of official documents was handed over to the four most favored women. They were known as the Four Wives of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.I asked Quan Jiu to try it because I wanted to see her ability. I must find something for the First Lady of the Great Song Dynasty to do.

Quan Jiu does not have his own faction in the court, so it can be fair and just.It can be seen from Quan Jiu's copy of the material brief that Quan Jiu is meticulous in his work, which is exactly what a qualified assistant must have.

If it is possible, I will slowly let the three concubines Yang, Yu, and Hu join in, so as to save them from doing nothing all day long. It is not a good thing to be alone, and something will happen one day.Hehe, there are exactly four of them, and they are also the four wives of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I laughed to myself, the records in history may really be true.

I picked out a few simple and not very important memorials and said: "Jiu'er, take a look at these memorials first, I will go to the martial arts hall first, and after I finish training, we will go to Kunning Palace together."

"Well, official, Jiu'er will watch now."

"Xiaoqi."

"The little one is here."

"Go to the martial arts hall."

In the evening, just as we were on our way to Kunning Palace, another downpour of rain fell.

"This year's rainy season is really too long."

Quan Jiu said: "Well, officials, after the heavy rain the day before yesterday, many streets in Lin'an were flooded, and many shops and residential buildings along the street were also damaged."

"Really? This Lin'an prefect's yamen should be attacked."

Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Officials, Master Qian Shuoyou just took office, so if you want to fight, you should fight Wei Quanzhong."

Water accumulates when there is heavy rain. This situation has not been completely resolved after hundreds of years. Although there are elements of natural disasters, the factors of man-made disasters are even greater.Many drainage projects have cut corners and cut corners, and the construction officials have become corrupt. In addition, urban construction waste is thrown everywhere, which often blocks the mouth of the canals.

Of course, the government attributed all of this to natural disasters with high-sounding reasons.

If the sky does evil, you can still live, but if people do evil, it is unforgivable.

I can't control natural disasters, but what about man-made disasters?

Now that I am here, these so-called man-made disasters will gradually change from the Song Dynasty 800 years ago.
