The Most Powerful Man in the World

In the summer of the third year of Shaoxing, Chu Yi's order to recruit troops caused huge waves, and many rangers who admired Chu Yi's name came to the capital.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the intention of Chu Yi to reform the military and government. From a system point of view, it has to be said that the system left by Zhao Kuangyin is indeed naturally beneficial to the civil servants. Therefore, it is said that in the Song Dynasty, the generals will be killed by the civil servants. Deadly suppressed.

Don't look at the power of Chu Yi now, and even the status of military generals has greatly improved, but in the eyes of many gentry, as long as Chu Yi leaves the court in the future, this world is already their gentry's world, as for military generals , At that time, there is no Chu Yi in charge, isn't it just letting them take care of it?

However, now Chu Yi wants to fundamentally change the military and political system, which has a different meaning in the eyes of many civil servants and gentry.

Once the system is changed, they will want to suppress the generals, and it will not be so easy to hold the power of the imperial court.

You must know how much effort they spent to achieve the point that the scholar-officials and the emperor share the world. Once Chu Yi is allowed to reform the military and politics, he will want to suppress the generals, and he does not know how much he will pay.

Needless to say, when Chu Yi proposed reforming the military and politics in the courtroom, he even attracted strong opposition from many conservative ministers.

For those ministers, they are not afraid of changing dynasties, even if Chu Yi usurped the throne of the emperor, as long as they do not move, then they will not object.

But Chu Yi actually wanted to take action against the military and political system. As a result, these conservative ministers could not sit still.

Even when Song Huizong Zhao Ji was forced to pass his position in Zhao Gou, these ministers did not respond at all, but now these people are like dead parents, and some people even yelled at Chu Yi and called Chu Yi as National traitor.

Zhao Gou, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the chaos below with a calm expression, and couldn't help sighing slightly in his heart. He couldn't help showing a bit of sarcasm in the eyes of these ministers.

That is to say, Chu Yi touched the interests of these people. Otherwise, even if Chu Yi wanted to conquer the Song Dynasty, these people would not react so violently.

"Who dares to change the ancestral system established by Emperor Taizu!"

"Yes, these systems were established by Emperor Taizu, and changing the ancestral system is to oppose Emperor Taizu, Chu Yi, you are so bold..."

"Chu Thief, do you think the rules set by Emperor Taizu are wrong?"

Chu Yi's expression was extremely calm, and he looked at the so-called famous people above the court indifferently. Suddenly, Chu Yi felt a sense of familiarity.

Back then, wasn't he regarded as a traitor by a group of civil servants?The only thing that made Chu Yi feel a little relieved was that at least not all of the ministers present reacted so violently.

A considerable number of ministers bowed their heads silently, and some even looked at him with anticipation. Obviously, these people are aware of the various drawbacks of the system left by Zhao Kuangyin, and now these drawbacks have seriously dragged down the normal operation of the Song Dynasty. .

For this reason, it is not that people of insight have not tried, and even launched reforms, but it is a pity that the forces of conservatives are too strong, even those people of insight cannot change the overall situation.

Many people looked at Chu Yi. They wanted to see how Chu Yi would respond to the situation in front of them. It must be known that among these ministers who stood up to oppose, there were many high-ranking ministers.

At this moment, Chu Yi glanced around at the officials who were jumping and scolding, and then said, "Everyone, have you said enough?"

Seeing Chu Yi's reaction, those ministers were stunned for a moment, stopped one by one, and looked at Chu Yi in confusion.

I just heard Chu Yi chuckle: "Since you all support and miss Emperor Taizu so much, why don't you all go to guard the mausoleum for Emperor Taizu!"

People such as Li Gang, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, etc. heard Chu Yi's words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their hearts were suspended just now, for fear that Chu Yi would kill these people.

Of course, they are not sympathetic to these people, but the influence of these people is really not small. If Chu Yi really started killing people, Chu Yi's reputation would not be very good, and I am afraid that it will become even more notorious. .

Chen Wenxuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, opened his eyes involuntarily, pointed at Chu Yi, and said with a look of anger and disbelief: "Traitor, Your Majesty is still here, what qualifications do you have to decide the whereabouts of me and others?"

While speaking, Chen Wenxuan turned to Zhao Gou who was sitting there and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the ministers."

The remaining conservative ministers also said to Zhao Gou one by one: "I also ask Your Majesty to be the master of the ministers and wait for justice."

Zhao Gou first glanced at Chu Yi and the others, sighed slightly, stood up, stared at Chen Wenxuan and others, and said, "You Qing family have worked hard and made great achievements, and you can be said to be loyal to the court. I feel very relieved."

Chen Wenxuan and the others showed a bit of joy on their faces, thinking that Zhao Gou was still on their side, so Chen Wenxuan and the others looked at Chu Yi with provocative eyes.

However, Zhao Gou suddenly changed his voice and said, "But the Emperor Taizu asked me to dream last night, the Emperor Taizu's mausoleum is too lonely, and now I feel that if there are ministers who go to the mausoleum to accompany Emperor Taizu, I would like to come to Taizu too. The ancestral emperor will certainly not be lonely."

"what!"

Chen Wenxuan and the others raised their heads to look at Zhao Gou in an instant, but they only saw Zhao Gou's cold face with a calm expression on his face, as if the words just now did not come from Zhao Gou's mouth.

"Your Majesty, you..."

A minister subconsciously said to Zhao Gou.

However, Zhao Gou waved his hand and looked at the civil and military courtiers who were standing aside, accounting for about half of them, and he was slightly relieved.

Fortunately, half of the ministers did not stand up to express their opposition. Otherwise, he was really worried about whether Chu Yi's reform of the military and government could be carried out.

"Passing on my will, Chen Wenxuan and others are loyal to the society, and personally affirmed to me that he would go to the imperial mausoleum to accompany the emperor Taizu. This is really an example to the world. I am very relieved, and I can't bear to refute the loyalty of the old minister.

With a thud, Chen Wenxuan fell to the ground softly, his face pale, and more than one fell to the ground like Chen Wenxuan, and dozens of people fell on the spot.

"Hyun-jun, dim-jun!"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty has lost his mind and is crazy, aren't you afraid that the court will not be able to function?"

For a while, those conservative ministers had mixed reactions.

It's just that no matter how these people reacted, Zhao Gou's decree was issued, and soon the Imperial Guards dragged out the officials who had been deprived of official positions and real power, leaving only the ministers with false titles one by two.

As these officials were dragged out, the hall was immediately empty, and nearly half of the officials were missing. If officials were not appointed immediately, there would be a situation where the imperial court would not be able to function.

However, Chu Yi had been prepared for a long time. A completed military and political system plan was proposed, and even the names of the chief officials of various ministries were presented together.

Zhao Gou didn't even have to think about how to select officials. He took the memorial presented by Chu Yi and ordered someone to read it out. It can be said that officials were appointed according to the list listed by Chu Yi.

The reform of the military and political system is naturally not a matter of one or two days, but such a big change in the court has suddenly spread to the world, especially the fact that nearly half of the officials were demoted to the Taizu Emperor's Mausoleum to be accepted by the Taizu Emperor. After that, people all over the world felt Chu Yi's determination to reform the military and politics.

That is to say, the Song Dynasty and the North Koreans started killing officials. Otherwise, the fate of these officials would not be much better.

However, for these officials, their real power was taken away, and they were even placed under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum to accompany the so-called Taizu Emperor.

At the same time as the reform of the control system above the court, the reform of the military system also began to be implemented.

Compared with the reform of official positions, the military system obviously received the least resistance. After all, the army of the Song Dynasty was up and down, and no one knew the power of Chu Yi.

With an order from Chu Yi, the military reform began.

The first to bear the brunt of it is the one-million-strong army that belongs to the central government.Even if it is suspected that there are some false reports, there are at least [-] to [-] soldiers.

In the past dynasties, there were few dynasties that could directly support millions of troops from the central government, but the Song Dynasty did so.It even supported a hundred or two hundred years, that is, the Song Dynasty was economically developed. If it were changed to other dynasties, I am afraid that it would be enough to support the army of millions, which would be enough to drag down the government's finances.

After a selection of millions of imperial soldiers, they directly wiped out half of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the imperial court made up for these ten years' salaries and allocated land to resettle the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Changes have also been made locally. It can be said that after this change, Da Song's bloated body gradually glowed with vitality.

On this day, Chu Yi looked at Lu Junyi, Lu Shinang and the others who came together and couldn't help putting down the scrolls in their hands. He looked at them curiously and said, "It's rare to see you all coming together. Could it be that something happened?"

Chu Yi is like a hands-off shopkeeper. Although he said that he has decided on the reform, it is Lu Junyi, Lu Shinang and others who actually operate it.

Seeing several people coming together now, it is reasonable for Chu Yi to have such doubts.

With a light cough, Lu Junyi said to Chu Yi, "His Royal Highness, this subordinate is here to inform His Highness about the reorganization of the army, the banning of the army and the recruitment of troops."

Chu Yi nodded slowly and said, "If I remember correctly, almost two or three months have passed, and the matter of recruiting troops and rectifying the forbidden army should have come to an end."

As Chu Yi looked at Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi immediately said: "The recruitment was completed the day before yesterday. According to His Highness's instructions, [-] young and strong people were recruited. Now they have gathered in the western suburbs of the capital to be trained by Lu Da, Lin Chong and others."

Chu Yi nodded and motioned to Lu Junyi to continue to introduce the matter of rectifying the banned army, and Lu Junyi said solemnly: "The matter of rectifying the army and banning army is only half completed. If you want to complete it completely, I am afraid it will take a month or two."

Hearing Lu Junyi's words, Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "It is not a one-time thing to fix the army, especially those who have been cut down, they must be properly settled. Said he would rather slow down than leave any hidden dangers behind."

Lu Junyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My subordinates will follow His Highness's teachings, and I will definitely supervise this matter."

Chu Yi's eyes fell on Lu Shinang and Zhu Wu, who were mainly responsible for the control and reform of the DPRK and China.

Although Chu Yi proposed to Zhao Gou the candidates for officials of various ministries, and made certain reforms to the control, it was not a day's work to complete the adjustment.

What's more, it is necessary to maintain the operation of the court during this period, otherwise, once the court falls into chaos or shuts down, it will inevitably lead to local chaos.

Lu Shinang said with a bit of joy on his face: "His Royal Highness, not long ago, with the cooperation of Your Majesty, the control has been completely reformed, and all the ministries have arranged suitable officials, and now the efficiency of the court's affairs has been greatly improved. Even the grain and armament prepared for future foreign expeditions have been put on the agenda, and it will take less than a month before the first batch of grain, ordnance and other materials will be fully in place.”

Chu Yi's eyes lit up, he spent so much effort to make such a big reform of the Song Dynasty, after all, he did not want the carriage of the Song Dynasty to be a help rather than a drag in his external expansion.

If Da Song's national power has completely exploded, Chu Yi feels that even if he sweeps dozens of countries, it will not be a problem, but the premise is that Da Song's logistics can keep up.

After all, he is strong and strong, but what is the use of a strong person. After all, the destruction of a country is only a real occupation if it is occupied, otherwise, there will be no luck at all.

Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang with admiration, nodded slightly and said, "Very good."

Chu Yi seldom praised others, but now that Chu Yi praised them, Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang naturally showed joy on their faces.

Zhu Wu said: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will definitely raise enough weapons and food for the future without affecting the stability of the world."

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "It's really a blessing for Chu to have you help!"

Song Shaoxing four years, spring.

The long winter has passed, and all things have recovered. On this day, the screams of killing in the school grounds in the western suburbs are loud, but the farmers near the western suburbs listen to the faint shouts of killing, but they are not panic at all, but a pair of As usual.

Several old farmers are sitting there in the field at the moment, listening to the screams of killing from the school grounds, and talking about the parents' rumors and gossip.

"Old Hutou, have you heard? The chief executive has made a decision that he will lead his army south in early March..."

"That's not right, how did I hear that it's not going south, but going north to destroy Koguryo!"

An old peasant waved his hand and said, "Where did you all hear the news? My Huzi is in the army. My son returned home last month. Listen to my son. The chief is preparing to use troops in the northwest..."

"It's obviously going south!"

"Go north!"

Just as these old farmers were arguing, a rush of hooves came from far and near. The old men who noticed the movement immediately stopped and looked curiously in the direction of the sound.

As far as I can see, an official road in the distance leads directly to the Xijiao school ground. At this moment, on the official road, a cavalry team of about a hundred people is heading towards the Xijiao school field at a very fast speed.

Seeing such a situation, an old peasant said in surprise: "Hey, look, this team of people seems to be a bit complicated!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In fact, the old peasant didn't need to speak. Several old peasants on the side also looked at the team. Even with the knowledge of these old farmers, they could feel the goodness of this team.

An old man glanced at a few people beside him, and said with a bit of disdain: "It's really rare and strange, since the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been stationed in this western suburban school, although I dare not say that people come from the capital every day, at least Ten days and a half months, I can see people and horses entering the school grounds..."

The old man surnamed Hu rolled his eyes and said, "Then tell me, among the people we saw in the previous episode, which one of them was able to compete with this group of people?"

Speaking of that, the old man surnamed Hu secretly looked at the leader of the group of people who had gone away. Of course, it should be said that it was the person who was surrounded by a group of soldiers and horses.

That figure was one of the few who were not wearing armor, and was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but surrounded by the soldiers, it was not at all imposing.

The old man surnamed Hu said: "Look at the temperament of the leader, at least I have never seen it from a noble person."

The other old men heard that although they said that they agreed with the old man surnamed Hu in their hearts, but they also said with disdain: "You have only seen a few nobles, the reason why you haven't seen it is because of you. It's just because there are too few nobles I've seen."

Not to mention that these old men were talking a lot there, but they said that Chu Yi rushed to the school grounds in the western suburbs surrounded by Lu Junyi and others.

This Western Suburb School Field was built after Lu Junyi and others had recruited troops. Of course, it was expanded on the basis of the original school field.

Tens of thousands of newly recruited soldiers and horses were concentrated in this school grounds and practiced daily under the supervision of Lin Chong, Lu Da and others.

Needless to say, this time Chu Yi came here to test the results of the new army's training during these days.
