Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 441 Different Angles, Different Worlds
Zhao Tingmei got into the car, and after a short drive, she saw the new city wall of Luoyang City from a distance. The shocked Zhao Dezhao was speechless for a long time.

"Look at the officials, this is the bastion city. Luoyang is already sitting on the danger of the world, and now there is this bastion. As long as there is enough food and grass in the city, it is enough to keep the city safe for ten years. This city is really my Song Dynasty. The century-old foundation. Officials, move the capital."

Zhao Dezhao opened his mouth and said, "Third Uncle really has a good plan. To be honest, I have already decided to move the capital on the way here. I will start to deal with it as soon as Kaifeng is stabilized and the court situation is stabilized."

"If this is the case, it will be the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty and the blessing of the world."

"Third Uncle, according to the Golden Chamber Alliance, this throne should actually be yours. My nephew was given the yellow robe because he was on the front line at the time, so I cannot refuse. If Third Uncle is interested..."

Zhao Tingmei interrupted: "Zhao'er, you used these words to test me, but you are a bit out of touch. Isn't it sincere enough for me to go out of the city for thirty miles to meet you? The so-called golden chamber alliance is also nonsense. Talk, besides, you have always known me as a dandy. To be honest, I have no interest in that position. When the second brother was there, he did some things so badly that even the eldest brother died without knowing why. Self-preservation, this is why you listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement. Now that you have become an official, as long as you let me enjoy wealth and leisure, why should I make things difficult for you? Zhaoer, I have everything now Big brother gave it to me, and the reason why big brother gave it to me is actually to let me give these things to you!"

"Third uncle, are you really not interested in the Ninth Five-Year position?"

"No. Don't others believe you? You make me a little disappointed in you."

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly said: "Third Uncle's redemption, there have been too many changes in this year, I... I am not so clear-headed, how could I not trust Third Uncle."

Zhao Tingmei also said: "Yes, it has been a troubled year for more than a year. My Song Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles. We, uncle and nephew, can no longer be suspicious of each other. We must work together to tide over the difficulties, otherwise , this great country that big brother laid down will inevitably be robbed by outsiders."

"I also ask third uncle to enlighten me, how to deal with internal and external troubles?"

"Is there any foreign invasion? The first is the Khitan. There is nothing to say about this. They have been fighting for hundreds of years since the time of Wu Zhou. The second is the military governors of various towns. They are all veteran generals on the battlefield. Naturally, my eldest brother can control them when he is there. , but your prestige, Zhao'er, is really too shallow, and that's not the case with others. In key areas such as Zhaoyi Army and Tianxiong Army, remember not to act too hastily, and my second brother will serve as a warning for you."

"I understand, slowly figure it out, boil them to death, it is impossible to make them hereditary like the late Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, so although external troubles are dangerous, they are not a serious concern. In contrast, internal troubles are a hanging edge."

"Third uncle thinks, what is internal trouble?"

"Cao Bin, Zhao Pu, Sun Chunming."

"Oh? These...how are internal troubles?"

"Let's talk about Zhao Pu first. In fact, this person has nothing to say. For more than ten years, he has covered the sky with his hands and dominated the court. The world is full of his protégés. If you don't get rid of him now, will you push me up to fight him? I can't fight him, and I don't want to get involved in such troublesome things, let alone he has come up with something like the Golden Chamber Alliance. It's damnable, so this person must be the first to be dismissed from office. I hope he can figure it out and not hurt the friendship between our family and him for many years. But this person is best resolved, you and I join forces, plus Cao Bin must also be on our side, and directly use his strength to defeat the cleverness, forgive him for not being able to make any waves."

"Hearing what Uncle San said, it really dawned on me."

"As for Cao Bin, this is actually a serious problem for us in the Song Dynasty. He was already the envoy and was in charge of the Military Commission. He was single-handedly involved in the formation of the new army in Kaifeng, and now he has the merit of supporting it. The prestige in the army is not trivial. Zhao Pu will definitely be a powerful minister after he leaves. No one in the Privy Council can compete with him, but he is not afraid of him wearing the yellow robe. It is just a matter of military affairs. How can he completely control it? What if his ambitions expand in the future? good?"

"The third uncle thinks, how will Cao Bin rule?"

"It's not difficult at all. The privy envoy is only a civil servant after all. He only has the right to dispatch troops but not to command them. After all, he is not a minister of the big brother's overlord's house. He has no deeper roots than Zhao Pu. To deal with him, we only need to start with the generals. That’s good, Cui Yanjin’s qualifications are older than him, and his ability is no less than him. You may not be so convinced by him. As long as you find a way to convince the generals of the army, you can use him as a military envoy, just like Shi Shouxin , just let him die in old age."

Zhao Dezhao nodded his approval when he heard the words, and asked, "So, where is Sun Chunming?"

Zhao Tingmei smiled wryly, this time even he pinched his eyebrows and said with a sad face: "Sun Chunming, alas, it seems that he is the least powerful of the three, but in fact he is the most difficult one to deal with. Luoyang is big and small. Whether it is a gentry or a wealthy family or a commoner, they all miss his good. After moving the capital, he is actually the number one official with a big tail. He holds the entire court's money bag in one hand. You don't know it. He is no longer holding money. Passed the third division, but he himself, it is useless for anyone to become the third division envoy, even if he is a commoner, he can take over the third division envoy within three days, and even his son is out to restrain the Tianxiong army. Who the hell came up with the idea? Why did you leave Sun Yue outside? Give it back to such a large army? Now the father and son are in court and the other is out, one is in charge of the money and the other is in charge of the soldiers, complementing each other, how dare you move Which? How did you think about it?"

Zhao Dezhao was embarrassed when he heard this.He couldn't say that it was you who prevented Sun Yue from coming back, right?

Zhao Tingmei actually understands the meaning of this level. If the Sun family father and son are all by his side and are willing to help him, then the throne is simply too easy for him, so his complaint just now is actually an emotional one. vent.

Zhao Dezhao had no choice but to say, "Doesn't Third Uncle trust the Sun family's father and son?"

"Hey, Sun Yue is my brother, my best brother. Sun Chunming and I have always treated each other with the courtesy of an elder. From my point of view, I trust him naturally, but you are now an official, a Tian family. Ruthless, are you talking about it? Because we are brothers, I know better than others that their father and son are people who have no respect for imperial power. Even the eldest brother never dared to let Sun Yue have soldiers in his hands. He is being used as a supervisor, how can he give him the Tianxiong Army? The key is that this Sun Yue is so much younger than you, you may not be able to survive him to death."

"Then... what should I do?"

"Oh, I know you still don't trust me. It's okay. Let's wait and see. But after the dust settles in the future, Sun Yue must be transferred back to the center, and he cannot be allowed to stay outside. Otherwise, it will be impossible to check and balance Sun Chunming. There is no way to talk about it.”
