Zhao Fujin, the Emperor who brought disaster to the country

Chapter 40 Cai Zhou’s fight
"Father, what is this?" Yue Peng picked up a token from the ground, causing several people to walk over and watch.

"Gold Expulsion Order." Lu Junyi took it: "Hey, this is also a part of the play, right?"

"Drive out the Jin soldiers and restore the Central Plains." Shi Wengong stretched out his big head and said disdainfully: "To drive out the Liao is also to drive away the Liao. What the hell is this about driving away the Jin? And the Central Plains, aren't we the Central Plains? How can we restore it? Bah! "

When Zhou Tong heard this, his expression immediately changed: "Are these people from Liao?"

Liao people?

Drive out the Jin soldiers, referring to their enemies in the north?
To restore the Central Plains, did they intend to go south and invade the territory of the Song Dynasty?

"That's not right, Master!" the youngest Mo Shuning shouted: "Look, these are Chinese characters, not Khitan characters."

"Recruiting people with lofty ideals to jointly resist Jin Liao." Yue Pengju stood opposite them and found that in addition to the carvings behind the token, there was a row of small characters. He leaned closer and read it in a low voice.

"Master, does this token belong to the third prince or the one named Cai? Which one of them dropped it?" Lin Chong was the most stable. He frowned and said, "There is a high probability that we are being targeted."

This sentence is correct, otherwise this wave of people would not have come to kidnap them, and the other wave of people would have just arrived.

Either the same wave of people are acting, or there are two waves of people determined to win them.

"Hasn't the Cai family lost power? Even Cai You, who has always been the most popular among officials, has been dismissed from his post. What's the point of their hesitation?" Lu Junyi handed the sign to Zhou Tong and asked: "Master, why don't we go to Mingxing Building?"

"I also think we should go to Mingxing Tower. Although His Highness is not the eldest son, he is the most favored by the officials. If we follow him, maybe our brothers can show off their skills!" Shi Wengong became more excited. He stretched out his hands and showed He made a posture of drawing a long bow to shoot a big bird: "We are so poor now that we can't even buy a good bow, and our horses are too old to run for several miles. How can we become proficient in bows and horses to fight against Jin Liao?" Do you have the time to do it?"

As soon as he said this, the remaining brothers nodded and looked at Zhou Tong eagerly.

Zhou Tong looked at the token repeatedly, feeling a little moved in his heart.

At this moment, Cai Chi left and came back. His arm seemed to be half bandaged. He came back in a hurry and said with a very nervous expression: "Old General Zhou, you... this token belongs to a lower official, but I accidentally left it behind." If I lose it, I ask the old general to return it to me."

After saying that, he crossed his hands, leaned slightly, and gave a cross-hand salute.

"Cai Wulang, is this gold exorcism order from your father?" Zhou Tong saw that Cai Wei was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he definitely did not have such great ability: "Are you planning to recruit your own private soldiers in the name of national justice? ?”

"Old General, you have misunderstood!" Cai Chi smiled slightly: "This order was given to the Emperor by the official family. His Highness built a martial arts arena north of the imperial city, intending to recruit people with lofty ideals and develop a strong army to protect the Song Dynasty. Take back the sixteen states of Yanyun!"

Empress?

Zhou Tong and others knew as soon as they heard that this emperor was the Mingde Emperor who was in the limelight recently.

Without him, all the other daughters of the official family had their titles changed to princesses, and she was the only one who still bore the title of Di Ji.

This woman was a treacherous woman who sold her official position to make money. She was a worm in the Song Dynasty. Every time Zhou Tong talked about it with his disciples, he would gnash his teeth with hatred.

Among the people, only Shi Wengong's eyes lit up. His chest was beating loudly as he looked at the "Gold Expelling Order".

"Oh, it turns out that the Cai family has boarded Di Ji's ship. I'm disrespectful!" Zhou Tong handed over the token angrily: "It seems that Prime Minister Cai is coming back again!"

"Old General, you have misunderstood!" Cai Chi took the token, ignored the irony, and explained very patiently: "When my father was disgraced, it was the crime of the Emperor himself. With the Emperor here, these powers None of the traitors can escape."

Quan, traitor?
Is there any way to describe your father like this?
Hearing this, Zhou Tong felt quite relieved and was about to open his mouth to make another sarcastic comment when he heard Cai Chi continue to say: "Di Ji is too weak at the moment. Although she has the intention to purify the court, she is unable to do so.

Even with me as an internal response, it took several days to pull my father and eldest brother off their horses, and we lost most of our men as a result.

Therefore, the lower official followed the order of Emperor Ji and came to win over General Zhou. Emperor Ji had already summoned hundreds of strong warriors and was waiting for General Zhou to take office and serve as their instructors and raise them. Send out an elite force.

After the dynasties are cleared, we can go north and drive straight into the Liao Dynasty to drive away the powerful Liao Dynasty and restore our mountains and rivers in the Song Dynasty. "

When Zhou Tong heard that he had driven away the Liao Dynasty and restored the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty, he felt a sense of pride in his heart!

The sarcastic words that reached the corner of his mouth were struck without any trace.

"Since it's an order to drive out Liao, why is this order to drive out Jin?" Zhou Tong asked doubtfully.

"The old general doesn't know something. His Highness has planted business people in the territory of Liao and Jin. From the news he sent back, he learned that the Liao Dynasty was unparalleled in bravery compared to ours. Once they faced the Jin people, they retreated steadily, but only two After years of hard work, the Jin people have already taken away [-]% of the land."

"If His Highness's calculations are correct, within ten years, the Jin Dynasty will conquer the Liao Dynasty. By then, the next goal of the Jin people will be the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Song Dynasty." Cai Wei has a straight posture and good looks, and he speaks with a mouthful The Mandarin language is spoken in an unhurried and smooth manner, which makes people feel good about it from the bottom of their hearts.

"Di Ji is really a hero among women!" Shi Wen's eyes almost burst into tears, and he extended his thumb and praised: "She is so broad-minded. In the past two years, she was only ten years old, and she had already arranged people in the Northern Dynasty. , it’s really not easy to find out news about the two countries and prepare for a rainy day!”

Zhou Tong felt the same in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "Since the Emperor has found out about this matter, why not tell the officials?"

If there are officials who come forward to recruit elite soldiers and generals, all they need is a piece of imperial edict. Those ambitious people who have been demoted from the court will definitely do their best to help.

"General Zhou doesn't know that the treasury is empty now. If the officials want to do anything, they can only take it from the people." Cai Wei replied: "The taxation is already so heavy. If we add more, bandits will definitely rise from all over the world. By then, due to external and internal troubles, the Song Dynasty will definitely be in crisis."

So, buying and selling official positions?
At this time, Zhou Tong suddenly felt that this move was very wonderful.

The officials did not come forward, and it was up to the emperor Ji to buy and sell official positions, allowing the wealthy to willingly use their assets to raise soldiers. Although the disadvantages were serious, it was better than exploiting the people again.

"There are many princes in the official family." Zhou Tong looked at the eager eyes of his apprentices and made the last round of struggle.

"There are many princes in the official family. They were all taught in the palace and abide by morality and etiquette. It is really difficult for them to do such a shocking thing." Cai Chi raised his hands upward and said with admiration on his face: "Emperor Ji Although she is a female, she cares about her country and her people, she is willing to destroy her reputation, but she also wants to protect the safety of her family and country. She is truly a hero among women, worthy of our following!"

"If an official's position is obtained by an unscrupulous person, disaster for the country and the people is imminent!"

"The Emperor's private guards will monitor her. If someone who donates an official role does something wrong, she will deal with it privately and will never endanger the country!"

"If Di Ji, a woman, is involved in politics, she will definitely cause an uproar in the future and blood relatives will fight!"

"The Song Dynasty is peaceful, the country is rich and the people are prosperous, the emperor and concubine should take the blame and retreat, never love power!"

"really?"

"Not fake!"
