The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1582 The Appointment and Removal of the Court
"From today onwards, I will take care of all matters, big and small. My father is not feeling well recently. The imperial doctor said that I should cultivate well. My father ordered me to temporarily supervise the country. Zhao Pu, come and announce the decree."

Zhao Pu took out the prepared imperial edicts, which were indeed imperial edicts, and also Zhao Kuangyin's meaning, and they were also stamped with jade seals.

"I hope that everyone will continue to perform their duties as before until the father recovers. Of course, you can also go and drink the father's greetings, but I hope that the time will not be too long, because what the father needs is to rest. I can understand."

After Zhao Pu announced the imperial decree, Zhao Xu immediately added that these ministers would definitely ask how Zhao Kuangyin was doing later, and also go back to visit Zhao Kuangyin. Naturally, Zhao Xu had no reason to stop him.

Since they can't be stopped, then let them visit, but visits are visits, but they can't disturb Zhao Kuangyin too much, otherwise Zhao Xu will definitely not give them a good look, and even take the opportunity to show off.

The ministers know the character of their prince, and since they have said so, they must not dare to make mistakes.

"Okay, let's talk about some political affairs now. I think you all know that our Song Dynasty was defeated in Tubo. I also tell you that this is a failure that I have never had since the founding of the Song Dynasty. It is a shame for our Song Dynasty."

These people who can stand here are definitely well-informed people, and Zhao Kuangyin fainted in the hall yesterday, Zhao Xu and Zhao Pu also said a little bit, presumably they can guess that the soldiers of Song Dynasty are here Something happened to Tubo.

"Zhao Pu read the memorial to the ministers again. We can't hide the failure." Where is the memorial to Zhao Pu? Today Zhao Xu asked him to read it to the ministers again.

"The sinful minister Wang Quanbin will die and report to His Majesty. I led an army of 6 to conquer Tubo. In the territory of Tubo, I was hit by a blizzard and a sudden attack by the Tubo army. I lost [-] troops and lost [-] people. I have ordered our army to retreat. Please judge the crime. The minister will die and bow down."

This is Wang Quanbin's memorial, and there is more important information on it, that is, the Song Dynasty's conquest of Tubo was defeated, and the losses were heavy. Everyone also knows why Zhao Kuangyin vomited blood in the hall.

The ministers were all surprised, they were actually defeated, and they participated in the defeat. The Great Song Dynasty has been an invincible existence since it supervised the country. They are all whispering below.

"Don't talk about it, everyone. I, Song Dynasty, are not afraid of failure. There are always winners and losers in wars. The important thing now is to minimize our losses."

Zhao Xu prevented the people below from whispering. In fact, he already had an idea in his heart, but he would announce it at this time.

"I decided to order Wang Quanbin to temporarily withdraw from Tubo, return to Shu to make corrections, and verify all the information of the soldiers who died in battle. According to our regulations, we must do well, and we must not let our heroes bleed and cry."

Zhao Xu's decision made everyone feel unbelievable. Withdrawing troops, the first thing the prince supervised the country was to withdraw troops from Tubo. This was Zhao Kuangyin's decision. Why would he withdraw troops if he failed.

"Your Highness, I have something to say." Tao Gu stood up, he is the Minister of Rites, what's the matter for standing up at this time.

"Tao Gu, what do you want to say?"

"Your Highness, I don't understand your decision, withdraw troops? This is His Majesty's original decision. Are you sure you want to withdraw troops now?"

In fact, Tao Gu’s heart is, who do we listen to, you and Your Majesty? Although you are the supervisor of the country, Your Majesty is your father. You directly overturned your father’s decision. This is unfilial. Minister of Rites must stand up.

"Okay, don't say too much, how about if anyone else wants to ask this question, you can ask it together, and I will give you a perfect explanation later."

Sure enough, after Zhao Xu finished speaking, several ministers stood up. They didn't understand why Zhao Xu withdrew his troops here. Although the Song Dynasty was defeated, the Song Dynasty also occupied many places in Tubo.

After spending so much effort and killing so many people, it is unreasonable to evacuate all of Tubo.

"Okay, let me tell you, didn't you see just now, the father said that the state affairs are fully handled by me, that is to say, what I mean is what the father meant. As for the matter between us and Tubo, we will talk about it later, our loss You can’t eat it for free, one day I will ask Tubo to return it with interest.”

"If you have any questions, I will answer them one by one. If you have any questions, tell them quickly. If not, I will arrange things." Zhao Xu looked at these ministers with a cold look in his eyes.

These people know that it’s useless to deal with these things. Isn’t it good to do things for the country well? You can't do that.

"Since there is nothing else, then I hope that you can cooperate well during my prison period, and let us get through this sad time as soon as possible, so that no other accidents will happen, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. Next, I will announce the appointment and removal of personnel, but this is also the meaning of the father."

"Dou Yi, you are appointed as Tongping Zhangshi, a bachelor of Longtuge, and lead the officials together with Zhao Pu. Han Xizai, you are temporarily serving as the left servant of the household department, and act as the household department well. Yang Li, you are not wrong as a censor. I have an errand for you, that is to know the Kaifeng mansion, I hope you will not let me down, let alone the father."

It was a big deal for Zhao Xu to appoint a prime minister at once. Although it was temporary, these people were already powerful.

"I also forgot one thing, that is, from today on, Mr. Miao Xun is no longer nothing, but as Zhao Pu's deputy, he is serving as a political adviser. I hope all my loves can work together."

Miao Xun was appointed as a political adviser, which no one could have imagined. Miao Xun, who had never been in office, became a political adviser, and suddenly stood at the highest power center.

The few people who were called by Zhao Xu all knelt down to thank them. These are good things, and it is too late for them to be happy. Of course, Zhao Xu said that these are temporary. When the emperor recovers, let's see what arrangements the emperor can make, but for the time being. Follow your own arrangements.

In fact, what Zhao Xu said is almost the same as the imperial decree now, because no one can stop him. Although he is the supervisor of the country, he is almost the same as my emperor.

Decisions made are generally not changed.The current imperial court has changed a lot because of Zhao Xu's words. Those who were promoted were either talented or related to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu formed his own team with self-love.
