Chapter 167

If Zhao Sheng wanted a son, naturally it would be best if he was a son of a son, not because he cared about his son, but because the ministers outside, people all over the world cared.

If he hadn't been the son-in-law, he wouldn't have had such confidence when he was the prince.

So for the rest of the time, Zhao Sheng basically rested in the Queen's Palace.

Empress Fu naturally also hopes to give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible, and she can only actively cooperate with the emperor.For a while, there was harmony between the emperor and the empress.Miao Cairen has a gentle temperament, and like Concubine Miao, she is a non-competitive person.Empress Fu saw the way Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Miao got along, and she was sure that Miao Cairen had a good character.So he treated Miao Cairen as kindly as Queen Mother Cao.

Their Miao family has produced several queens, and they also know something about things in the harem.Even a queen needs some 'family'.Even if it's not for favor, it's for having a friend to talk to in this deep palace.

Although Empress Fu has been trained according to the norms of the mother of a country in recent years, Zhao Zhen even selected a royal nurse from the harem to teach her after she was confirmed as the crown princess.

But Empress Fu is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Coming to the richest and least free place in the world, naturally there is a lot of anxiety.With a Miao Cairen who can talk, it is also a lot easier.

As for Junjun Qiao, he was already in limbo.

Zhao Sheng didn't feel that one wife and one concubine were few, as long as the queen or Miao Cairen could give birth to the prince smoothly, then there would be no problem with having fewer people in his harem.After all, it costs money to raise a woman.

With Fu's presence in the harem, Zhao Sheng didn't worry about it anymore.

In today's court, there are Wang Anshi, Zhang Dun, Fu Bi, and Wen Yanbo on the civil servants' side, and most of Zhao Sheng's efforts are put on the reform of the military system.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a tradition of using the elite as the forbidden army. These "elites" were stationed around the capital. On the one hand, Zhao Song won the world because of the Chen Qiao mutiny, so the elite did not dare to let them out.Secondly, I was also afraid of death. I always felt that with these 'elites' around, the generals outside would not have any bad thoughts.

Zhao Sheng didn't know what to say, anyway, he didn't have that kind of guilty conscience, the world was originally for the capable.

Zhao Sheng's solution to these elites was to release them to fight.

In Zhao Sheng's words, all his relatives have gone to the battlefield to fight, how can you 'elites' get rid of it.Taking turns going here and there, the bandit suppression in various places must also be completed with quality and quantity, otherwise he will abolish the garrison along that road.Anyway, in the reform of the military system, there is also a way to reduce the number of armies from all walks of life.

Today’s Song Dynasty has eighteen roads, no more, no less, and there are no more than twenty roads later, so Zhao Sheng only plans to abolish one or two roads.

There is also the construction of the military academy, which Zhao Sheng is also very concerned about.In fact, the Song Dynasty did not lack generals who could fight, but the quality of the middle and lower officers was worrying.

Therefore, what this military academy wants to cultivate is the cornerstone of the middle and lower levels of the army.This is very important, and Zhao Sheng attaches great importance to it.Zhao Sheng personally participated in the selection of the school's location, the search for teachers, and the determination of the curriculum.

The military generals also did not expect that the officials would care so much about this military academy. They personally went to the homes of some old generals to invite them out of the mountain, and even paid for the expansion of the original military academy design.

It is clear at a glance that the officials attach importance to martial arts.

"Wang Xianggong, the government attaches so much importance to generals, can it be..."

Taige Zhizhengtang, basically today's Taige is already dominated by reformists, the difference is that Wang Anshi and Zhang Dun are more radical, while Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo are more moderate.But now Zhao Sheng is more inclined to moderate.

Wen Yanbo's tone was a little worried, no matter what, he was a civil servant.The two groups of civil servants and generals are either the east wind overpowers the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

In the state and court, civil servants have always overwhelmed generals.

However, the successive actions of the official after he ascended the throne made the Wenchen Group very anxious.The few of them can be regarded as the top literati in the world, so they naturally don't want the status of literati to decline.

"We can't stop what the officials want to do." Wang Anshi has no worries in this regard.Although he was a civil servant, he did not disdain and oppress military generals like a civil servant. In his heart, as long as the country can strengthen the country and make the people rich.It doesn't matter who is strong or weak among civil servants and military generals.

And the officials said that only if he has enough military power in his hands can the reform be carried out.

Wang Anshi knew that the people who reformed in the past dynasties basically did not end well.He is not afraid, but the officials cherish him and hope he will give him some more time.Take the reform slowly, and wait until the officials have enough cards before speeding up.

Wang Anshi is not a person who doesn't know good and bad, so he naturally agreed.The officials said to first find a place to implement the new law as a pilot, list all the problems in the implementation process, and then solve them slowly, and then point to the surface.

Wang Anshi thought it was okay.

So until now, the reform actions have been moderate.The Young Crops Law, the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, the Market Change Law, the Strong Military Law, and the Disarmament Law are all slowly being implemented.But both he and the officials know that the most difficult reform is the 'Field Equalization Law'.The basis of the land equalization method is to measure the land.

Wang Anshi, who has been an official at the bottom, knows how serious the land annexation is now.The number of hidden fields may scare people to death.It's just that such an action would affect the interests of many people, he knew it, and so did the officials.

The meaning of the officials is obvious, if the writing is not good enough, force will be used.Wang Anshi even suspected that the officials had already figured it out, so he formed four pro-armies as soon as he ascended the throne.

Wen Yanbo smiled bitterly, he knew that what Wang Anshi said was not wrong at all.There is a huge difference between this official family and the first emperor in any aspect.The decisive one is not like the king of the Zhao family at all.

According to the rules of the ancestors, it is not allowed to kill scholar-bureaucrats. He did not kill them, but he prevented the Han family from taking the imperial examination for five generations.This time, dealing with corrupt officials is even more straightforward.They didn't react, Huangcheng Secretary directly killed him.

Logically speaking, officials are not allowed to do this, and such a government order must be passed through Zhongshu Province anyway.But a crime of "hiding the imperial gift, disrespecting the king, and treason" was charged, and they had nothing to do.

"We just need to do our own thing well, and the officials know it well." Wang Anshi felt that it was a blessing to have such a powerful monarch behind them.

If it was the first emperor, I am afraid they would have already gone to Lingnan to settle down.

"Yeah, I still remember when the official family was still the prince, Yan Gong said that the official family has a firm heart and will not be transferred for foreign things." Wen Yanbo was also a prime minister when Zhao Sheng was the prince.He also had a lot of contact with the prince who supervised the country.At that time, I didn't realize the strength of the prince, but I just felt that he would be more majestic than the official family.

It's just that the prince was dormant at that time.

"Isn't it good to be such a monarch? The officials also have a lot of trust in us." Didn't you see that all the political officials were handed over to the governor's hall?Emperor Renzong still wanted to balance the court.

Wen Yanbo was speechless. It wasn't the first time he entered the Taiwan cabinet. This time, the feeling after entering the cabinet was different from before.The government has completely delegated power.Except for some important matters related to the country, they are basically decided by a few people in their cabinet.

Because of the implementation of the new law, they are busy with official duties, and the officials are considerate, and the imperial kitchen often delivers meals to them.

"I also know that there are many problems in the country today, but there is no rush, no rush." ​​Wen Yanbo muttered to himself.

Wang Anshi ignored it, he knew there was no need to be in a hurry, the officials sent him health-preserving pills, and after taking it for a while, his health improved a lot.As long as nothing major goes wrong, the official family will surely live a long life.In the words of the officials, these guys can be boiled to death even if they are boiled.

The reason why Wang Anshi was so calm was that he already knew Zhao Sheng's plan for reform.He didn't know how the officials who had just been weakly crowned knew so much "the hardships of the people's livelihood".I don't know that the young official can calculate everything step by step like this.

Although the affairs in the court were handled by the Taige, Wang Anshi and others knew that the officials were clear about their affairs.

The Imperial City Division, as well as the secret spy division that suddenly appeared during this period, are all sharp swords hanging over their heads.

Wen Yanbo looked at Wang Anshi who started to deal with business again.I also admire this great gentleman who is much younger than him. He is upright and honest, and has been rewarded many times by the government. It is said that the Wang family's mansion is rewarded by the government's private treasury.

There is also Wang's eldest son who is the companion of the official family. It is said that the relationship between the several companions of the official family and the official family is very good.Speaking of companionship, I have regretted not letting my children participate in Wen Yanbo's selection in the past few years.

Look at the boys from the Zhong family and the Wang family, but they already have titles just now, and the border war is said to be going smoothly.When you come back, the official will definitely reward you.Hey, one wrong step and one wrong step, but thinking of Han Qi's fate, Wen Yanbo felt okay again.

It really should be said that happiness comes from comparison.

"Are we really going to implement this plan? If we're not careful..." Cao Xun didn't know what to say after hearing Wang Yu's plan.This is too bold. Although the Liao Kingdom won the battle, it was not disabled.As a result, these people started to provoke Xixia again, seriously.

"I've already contacted the Zhong family army, General Di, first south and then north, this is what the officials mean." Wang Xi curled his lips.

Cao Xun: "...the officials mean to go from south to north, so you are still fighting Liao so desperately!"

Cao Xun just wanted to scream. Since the target is Xixia, shouldn't the Liao Kingdom be appeased first?As a result, the two directly fought the Liao Kingdom to death.

"Ahem, I didn't get it right all of a sudden. But it doesn't matter, the Liao Kingdom will no longer care about the affairs of Xixia anymore." Wang Yu was also a little embarrassed, the attitude of the officials towards the Xia and Liao countries has always been the same Extremely tough.How can they think of keeping their hands when they are a pair.

"The government will send the Imperial Army here in turn, and we don't have to worry about General Cao being on the Liao side." Zhong Yi hopes to be able to join the new battlefield sooner.Besides, Xixia is the home field of the Zhong family army.

"Shou Weng is right. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid General Zhong won't give us a chance to make meritorious service." Wang Yu nodded, and he still had a lot of tactics in his heart that he wanted to test and test.

Cao Xun twitched his mouth, why did he feel that the previous days were wasted, are Xixia and Liao so easy to deal with?Why does it feel so vulnerable in the mouths of the two of them?

When only Zhongyi and Wang Yu were left in the military tent, Wang Yu immediately stopped holding it and leaned back on the chair without sitting.

"This time it was really beyond my expectation. None of the secret weapons given to us by the officials were used." Wang Yu said in a regretful tone.He has seen those "good things" in the firearms camp, and he really wants to try their power.Who would have thought that the Liao Kingdom would be so vulnerable.

Zhong Yi was already familiar with the two sets of images of his predecessors and latter, so he poured himself a cup of tea: "It's just a coincidence. The chaos in the Liao Kingdom has just subsided, and the strength of the army has been affected. In addition, our weapons The equipment is better than too much, and the officials have made arrangements earlier, we can say that we are many times faster in terms of intelligence." Such a favorable time and place have led to a series of victories.

"The secret agent of the government is really too powerful." Wang Xi sighed sincerely when he thought of the information sent before the war.

Zhong Yi didn't say a word. The secret spy department's affairs may have been planned by the officials a long time ago.Externally and internally, whether such a secret spy agency is good or bad for the country is still really uncertain.
