The eunuch, who had followed him all his life, looked at Zhao Xuan and followed him.

  Zhao Xuan still stood there with a calm expression.

  All the civil and military officials behind him were even more shocking.

  This prince is really powerful and decisive.

  First, directly above the court, he killed the Prime Minister Jia Sidao, then sentenced the Jia family to exterminate the family, and even sent people to send Jia Concubine on the road in public.

  In the end, Song Lizong Zhao Jun was thrown into the cold palace!

  One thing, kill decisively.

  Since then, inside and outside the court, rumors and wind and rain must be indispensable regarding this matter.

  But Zhao Xuan didn't care at all.

  It's just a big Song Dynasty, and he doesn't care about it at all.

  Meng Gong knelt down without any hesitation:

  "For the great Song Dynasty, for the common people of the Li people, minister Meng Gong, I implore Your Highness to ascend the throne, abbot the government, and lead us to fight against Mongolia and defend our country¨~!"

  "Minister Zhang Shijie, I affirm that Your Highness will put the country as the most important thing, ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and drive out the Tartars!"

  "Your Majesty Lu Xiufu, I affirm that His Majesty will take the country as the most important thing, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and drive out the Tartars!"

  "Chen Wen Tianxiang, I affirm that Your Highness will put the country as the most important thing, ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and drive out the Tartars!"

  The four of them had known for a long time that if Song Lizong reigned for a day, the Song Dynasty would surely collapse.

  And the only hope is Prince Zhao Xuan!

  Seeing that all four were like this, those neutral ministers also knelt down one after another.

  And those ministers who followed Jia Sidao all lay on the ground.

  "Your Highness, please take the country as the most important thing, ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, fight against Mongolia, and restore the mountains and rivers!"

  Zhao Xuan looked at the crowd without any pretense, went straight to the chair and sat down.

  Li Mochou and Lin Chaoqun stood on the left and the right.

  The other shadow guards stood guard at the door.

  Zhao Xuan looked at the crowd and said calmly, "Pingshen."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

  "Mongol's ambitions are well known to everyone. This time going south, Xiangyang must be preserved! Otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger." Zhao Xuan said.

  "Your Majesty Qizuo, in the opinion of the veteran, you can negotiate peace with Mongolia. For example, take the Yangtze River as the boundary and give the north to Mongolia to quell the war."

  A pedantic old minister stepped forward and said.

  Zhao Xuan smiled and said coldly, "What's your name?"

  "Old minister Qian Zhiyuan." The man bowed.

  "Qian Zhiyuan?" Zhao Xuan said, his face completely turned cold: "Come here, drag him out, and cut him off!"

  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

  Qian Zhiyuan's expression changed drastically, and he was in a state of panic.

  In the past, when powerful enemies attacked, didn't the emperor always cede territory and seek peace?But because of the face, I couldn't speak up. It was proposed by the courtiers, and then discussed and passed.

  In this way, the emperor can save face and finally negotiate a peace.

  But now...

  "Beheaded!" Zhao Xuan said firmly.

  Two imperial guards walked in outside the door, and directly dragged Qian Zhiyuan out.

  "From today onwards, from civil and military officials down to high officials and dignitaries, anyone who colludes with Mongolia will be killed without mercy. If the circumstances are serious, the clan will be exterminated! Anyone who dares to propose surrender and negotiate peace, like Qian Zhiyuan, will be killed without mercy! "

  Zhao Xuan said in a cold voice: "The Great Song Dynasty only has heroic souls who died in battle, and no inferior slaves who surrendered. I, Zhao Xuan, swear today that even if it is a personal conquest by the emperor, I will defeat Mongolia and regain the lost land! We Han nationality, so many people, were unexpectedly killed by a group of people. Defeated by a handful of Mongols! You can afford to lose that person, but I, Zhao Xuan, can't afford to lose him!"

  "Your Majesty is wise!"

  Meng Gong and others bowed down again.

  Zhao Xuan could tell that Meng Gong, Wen Tianxiang and the others sincerely bowed down, their hearts were filled with passion, and finally there was a wise king who dared to kill.

  The country of the Great Song Dynasty is finally hopeful!

  But there are also some people who are just perfunctory.

  There are even some people who don't know what kind of plans they have in their hearts.

  Zhao Xuan saw everything in his eyes, and Li Mochou and Lin Chaoqun next to him also saw it.

  It's not easy to make a move now, and it will definitely be liquidated one by one in the future.

  ".Get up!" Zhao Xuan said.

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

  Zhao Xuan looked at the crowd and spoke again:

  "Now that the war is starting, I hope that the civil and military officials will work together and work together. I can punish you lightly for what you did before. If you have done something wrong, you can be honest and make meritorious atonements. You can let the past go. .If it causes major losses, no matter who it is, destroy the family!"

  In a special period, Zhao Xuan must use iron and blood methods to shock the government and the public.

  "The first big thing next, (Wang Zhao) Meng Gong, I named you the Generalissimo of Anti-Mongolia, and commanded all the soldiers and horses north of the Yangtze River to fight against Mongolia! It will not take long for the Mongolian Southern Expedition to reach Xiangyang. There are now Xuan Men and Guo Jing and other heroes of the world are in town, you immediately send troops to help. You must defend Xiangyang and stop the Mongol army outside Xiangyang city!"

  "Meng Gong takes the order, and he will die!" Meng Gong said with a bow.

  Zhao Xuan nodded and spoke again:

  "Zhang Shijie, starting today, I will appoint you as a privy envoy to be in charge of dispatching other soldiers and horses, food and grass. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, but food and grass go first. You have a heavy burden. The battle between Song and Mongolia was a war of attrition. North of the Yangtze River, Meng Gong is fully responsible. In the south of the Yangtze River, you should go all out to train, recruit new soldiers, and supply food, weapons, and soldiers and horses! Make up for the consumption and battle damage on the front line in time, and make no mistakes!"

  Zhang Shijie nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best and promise that there will be no problems!".

132 Chapter Wentao and Wushu, wantonly innovated

  Privy envoys, in order to deal with wars, are often served by generals, who hold the military and political power in one hand, act cheaply, and are regarded as the most powerful person.

  But in the Song Dynasty, civil servants were all in charge, and military generals went out to fight, and civil and military were separated to prevent rebellion.

  Therefore, Zhao Xuan handed over the north of the Yangtze River to General Meng Gong, ~to directly contend against Mongolia.

  In the south of the Yangtze River, if there is no war for the time being, Zhang Shijie will be in charge of providing various guarantees for the front line, including food, weapons, soldiers and horses, etc.!

  After all, wars are attrition, and Mongolia has always been brave and good at fighting, and is good at defeating the few with more.

  At that time, Jebe led tens of thousands of people and beat up all European countries.

  Therefore, Zhao Xuan had to pay attention to battle damage and supplies, especially army supplies.

  The front line was killed and sacrificed, and Zhang Shijie must command new soldiers and horses to replenish and support in time!

  "Lu Xiufu, you are in charge of the third department. The most important thing in Song Dynasty is money! What I want is not for you to accumulate wealth and enrich the national treasury. After all, the country is destroyed, so what do you still have money for? You understand what I mean ?” Zhao Xuan asked.

  Lu Xiufu nodded and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I understand. On the one hand, in charge of the three divisions, the main purpose is to punish corrupt officials, collect their ill-gotten gains, and enrich the treasury! On the other hand, it is to spend money and use it Where it should be used. Such as recruiting new troops, such as building weapons, such as rewarding the soldiers of the three armies fighting ahead!"

  Zhao Xuan nodded: "Yes, that's it. If you use the money well, it will be of great benefit to our war."

  "Minister, please follow the imperial decree!" Lu Xiufu said.

  Zhao Xuan looked at the crowd and spoke again:

  "According to my decree, now that the war is on the rise, recruit new soldiers from all over the country. Anyone who joins Xuanmen or joins the army will be exempted from family taxes for three years, and all military pay and pensions will be doubled! All those who sacrificed will be listed as family members of heroic souls. Take good care of their wives, children, and parents! They are on the front line, throwing their heads and blood for the country and the people, and we want to make their rear safe."

  "Your Majesty benevolent government!"

  "In addition, the status of military commanders will be comprehensively improved. From today onwards, there are mainly two types of recruits. One is warriors who are familiar with the battlefield, have excellent individual qualities, and can fight the enemy. After passing the examination, they will enter the army and become commanders. According to the credit and ability, gradually improve. If you have merit, even if you are a general, it is not a problem."

  "The other is to be familiar with military books, be familiar with military strategy, be good at offensive and defensive methods, enter the army, and serve as a staff member."

  "In addition, the Great Song Dynasty has always valued literature over martial arts. From now on, we will emphasize martial arts and suppress literature!"

  Zhao Xuan said, the words are not surprising:

  "Civil servants don't have to go to battle to kill the enemy, and they don't have to worry about their lives, but they take the salaries of high officials and wantonly corrupt. What use are you for?"

  Everyone was silent.

  "Once something happens, apart from rebellion, it's just surrender and negotiation, which is simply useless. To put it bluntly, as long as Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and other good ministers are in such a huge court, it can operate. , it would be better not to have one!"

  After Zhao Xuan's words fell, all civil and military officials bowed their heads.

  "From today onwards, we will start to streamline the number of civil servants. All those who are immoral and incompetent, and those who are in the position of a vegetarian, will be dismissed from their posts, and the lack of them will be better. At the same time, a performance appraisal will be formulated. The capable will go up and the waste will go down!"

  Zhao Xuandao, all civil servants' faces changed drastically.

  They know that the good times are coming to an end, and if they don't work hard, it may really be over.

  And those who are talented and ambitious, but have no ambitions, all have high fighting spirit, and the opportunity has come!

  "Military commander, the status and treatment will be improved in an all-round way. When I succeed to the throne, I will start to practice martial arts! I want to create an iron-connected country, and create a prosperous age of thousands of years that reverses the Northern Expedition to Mongolia!"

  "Your Majesty Shengming!"

  "Long live your majesty, long live!"

  Zhao Xuan's eyes fell on Wen Tianxiang, and he said with a smile:

  "Wen Tianxiang, I won't give you any official position, do you have any objection?"

  Wen Tianxiang shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't want any position, I just want to go to Xiangyang and do my part. Even if I die in battle, I will have no complaints. I just hope that Your Majesty will defeat Mongolia as soon as possible and regain the lost land."

  Zhao Xuan sighed, if others said that, he wouldn't believe it even to death, but Wen Tianxiang, he believed it.

  Since ancient times, no one has died in life, so keep your loyal heart to reflect the history!

  He had no choice but to believe such a man!

  Zhao Xuan shook his head: "Xiangyang, you can't go, that's where I want to go!"

????????? Seeking flowers 0 ?

  "what!"

  All civil and military officials, all of them changed their expressions drastically!

  Zhao Xuan smiled faintly: "You all know about my life. When I was 15 years old, I went out to make a living and lost all the heroes in the rivers and lakes. I am known as Mr. Xuan."

  "Hehe, my whole life was made by killing, beating, not pampering in the palace!" Zhao Xuan said:

  "I'm not that delicate, and I'm not that pretentious. Now that Xiangyang is in danger, and Mongolia is going south, I must personally conquer!"

  "Your Majesty, no, Meng Gong is willing to do it for you! Your Ninth Five-Year Honor, you can't do this." Meng Gong said hastily.

  "No, Your Majesty!" Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu did the same.

......................................

  Zhao Xuan smiled faintly, disappeared on the dragon chair in an instant, and reappeared, already in front of Meng Gong.

  This speed shocked all civil and military officials.

  "Hehe, even if I enter the Mongolian camp alone, I will be able to retreat after a while with Kublai Khan and Brother Meng. Don't worry, the world is so big that there are not a few people who want to kill me, but most of them will either die. It's too late, or life is worse than death!"

  Zhao Xuandao: "Wen Tianxiang, I won't give you any position, but when I'm not around, you can take care of me! One is to deal with daily government affairs, and the other is to investigate and deal with corruption. From now on, anyone who admits to corruption before , voluntarily handed over, will not be held accountable. If you are guilty, you can take the initiative to be frank and make meritorious service. If you are found out, then I am sorry, and deal with it strictly!"

  "Your Majesty, the court cannot do without you, minister..."

  Zhao Xuan waved his hand: "If there is no war, I can sit here, listen to your reports, and review the memorials. But now that the war is starting, and Mongolia is going south, I have to go to the south. Important memorials are sent to Xiangyang, and other trivial matters, you see Handle it! Wen Tianxiang, here in Lin'an, I leave it to you, don't let me live up to my expectations of you!"

  Wen Tianxiang quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is so gracious, Song Ruiwan is willing to die!"

  Wen Tianxiang, whose name is Song Rui!

  Zhao Xuan wouldn't stay in Lin'an, and he didn't have time to deal with those messy memorials. On the contrary, he handed them all over to Wen Tianxiang. Only very important ones would be handled by himself. .

Chapter 133 Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish!

  As the war started, Zhao Xuan didn't have time to pay attention to the trivial matters in the court.

  He had to go to Xiangyang to go to Xiangyang, regretting Mongolia!

  Of course, the affairs of the court will not be completely ignored.
