Self Rescue of the Faint King

As a progressive and promising young emperor who worshiped his father and always aimed at Emperor Shenzong, Yang Guang finally started reforming the art of war with Chongning for four years.

The reform of the military system is to change the four-level organization of the imperial army's box, army, battalion, and capital to the three-level organization of general, department, and team. This can effectively alleviate the disadvantages of generals who do not know soldiers, and soldiers who do not know generals.

As a measure to strengthen the army, on the one hand, Wang Anshi streamlined the army, eliminated the old and the weak, and merged the barracks.On the other hand, the law of war is practiced.Since the seventh year of Xining, more than 100 generals have been set up in various northern regions. Each general has a chief and deputy general, and officers with martial arts and combat experience are selected to be responsible for the training of the unit's army. , states and counties shall not interfere in military affairs.The implementation of the art of war enables soldiers to know their generals, generals to train their soldiers, and improve the fighting quality of the army.

At the beginning of Zhezong Yuanyou, Sima Guang abolished the new law and wanted to dismiss all generals, but he was strongly opposed.The number will continue to increase in the future.At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the military and government were divided, and the vacancies increased greatly. There were only a few generals in Hebei, and only a formal method of setting generals remained, completely losing their combat effectiveness.

In order to improve this situation, Yang Guang began to try to reform the law of war, implement the guard system, and combine the law of recruiting soldiers with the law of stationing troops, in order to improve the situation of the army's loss of combat effectiveness.

Naturally, things will not be smooth sailing. The officials have a big stick and a carrot, but they still feel exhausted physically and mentally.

However, the results are still there. In addition to the revitalization of the military monitors, at least the army of the Song Dynasty is no longer a mob, and its combat power has doubled. Jin, Liao and other countries have expressed their concerns and put pressure on the Song Dynasty through different channels.

In this world, there will always be a few cartilages. Yang Guang said that he can understand, but turned around and exiled these cartilages from the court, and also said that their descendants are not allowed to enter the court.

This is simply a big killer, and the courtiers expressed their toughness one after another.

The officials are very happy, that's right, Daliao, the Dajin Shenma is not invincible, but it is not the time yet, and the topic of uniting the Jin and destroying the Liao is simply impossible to mention.

With Daliao standing in front of him for the time being, Da Song can have enough time to strengthen his own strength.

Dajin is constantly eroding the land of Daliao, which makes Yang Guang a little uneasy. He is thinking, should he give some "aid" to Liao?

Daliao and Dal Song are brothers after all, right?

The emperor's remarks made all the officials look at each other in blank dismay. When did this happen?Could it be that he was in a daze?Aren't you going to take back "Youyun Sixteen States"?Aren't you going to abolish the "Tanyuan Alliance"?

Why did you talk about brotherhood again?

But since the emperor had this idea, the courtiers naturally wanted to find a way to convey this idea to the Liao people.

It just so happened that the Liao rulers and ministers also felt the seriousness of Song and Jin's attack on Liao, so they sent Xiao Ke and Han Fang as envoys, expressing their willingness to be ministers to Song, hoping not to join forces with Jin to attack Liao.Yang Guang met the envoys of the Liao Kingdom in person, and heard his words that Nvzhi (true) cannibalize the other countries. If Daliao does not survive, he will be worried about the Southern Dynasty. His lips are dying and his teeth are cold.

But although it is reasonable, Da Song can't just help you in vain, you have to be meaningful, right?

This kind of hint was heard by the envoys of the Liao Kingdom, and it was like the sound of nature. Naturally, they had made various preparations for their visit this time. If the Song Dynasty really did not take any money, they would not be at ease.

In this world, only interests are eternal. After constant wrangling, Song and Liao finally reached an agreement.

Song provided food, weapons, etc. to Liao, and Daliao used mines, horses, cattle, sheep, and cloth in exchange.This kind of exchange can be regarded as an equal transaction in a sense, and Daliao can naturally accept it.

But when it came to Song Dynasty, there were many problems. The courtiers felt that the emperor was too petty. Although the words were cryptic, they still succeeded in making Yang Guang angry. What are the meanings of this?

Could it be said that if you want to give it to the Liao people for nothing, will the Liao people be happy if they grow up?

As the emperor, Yang Guang was never afraid of criticism from officials, but this kind of unreasonable rhetoric could only make Yang Guang scold him, and the person who scolded him would find it embarrassing to death.

This time, the officials have finally experienced the combat effectiveness of the full-fire officials. After this time, there have been a phenomenon of officials begging for old people to return to their hometowns in batches.

No problem, Da Song has nothing else but a lot of officials. Over the years, although he has tried his best to streamline the situation, the situation of redundant staff has not been completely eliminated, and a large number of people still live here.

If he could save some money for the court, Yang Guang was very happy to let him go. What else can the officials do?Rao knew that this person was a stickler, but everyone was still lucky, and now they were slapped in the face, right?

The officials who were dismissed from office were horrified to find that the vacancies they vacated were quickly filled, and most of them were young officials.

It was obvious that the emperor wanted to be younger, but he never expected that the opportunity, which was not an opportunity, would be seized by him.

The mood of stealing chickens and eating rice is nothing to mention.

Zong Ze has become the new Prime Minister, and he has reached the sky in one step. Many people are waiting to see what kind of ability this Zong Ze has that makes the emperor value him so much.

However, although Zong Ze, who was born as a "Tong Jinshi", has outstanding political achievements, many people still look down on him, which is understandable. This Lord Zong Zezong was born in eastern Zhejiang, and he is the ancestor of "Jinhua Ham". I didn't expect that I could directly jump from the status of Zongzheng Shaoqing to the prime minister of the dynasty, which is really an official.

What kind of emperor there is, there will be what kind of courtiers, they are the so-called lords and ministers. Zong Ze thought that the official put himself in the position of prime minister, so naturally he didn't let himself enjoy the blessings. After he took office, The eloquent Wanyan book was sent up.

Even though Yang Guang also knew that Zong Ze was a capable person who climbed up from the bottom step by step, what he heard and saw was naturally very different from others, but he was still moved by his ten thousand words book.

Zong Ze is the prime minister, and Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Tingzhi (Li Qingzhao's father-in-law) is the right minister, which symbolizes that Yang Guang has completely controlled the court. From his succession to the present, he has completely controlled the court for a total of seven years. well done.

Xu has experienced a lot, and he likes this kind of unobtrusive and unobtrusive approach, and the peaceful reform has also reduced many twists and turns in the court.

But it is a pity that Zhao Tingzhi was not able to be active for a few more years, and passed away two years later. However, the Zhao family naturally still has people who can support the family. Li Qingzhao does not need to be separated from Zhao Mingcheng, and still lives a fairly happy life .

These are all subsections, and Yang Guang just listened to them once.

Zong Ze, Zhao Tingzhi, Zhong Shidao and others are gathering in the royal study of the official's house at the moment, and what they are reading in front of them is Zong Ze's Wanyan Book.

Obviously, if you want to make a difference, you need to brainstorm, and Zongze's Shangshu is not without flaws.

Because of the official foreword, everyone spoke freely and debated endlessly. In the end, they finally gathered the strength of everyone and summed up a policy outline.

Yang Guang is quite satisfied with this item. This is the wisdom of the courtiers, and he does not rely entirely on himself, which is very good. If not, once he leaves in the future, what will happen to Song Dynasty?

The crown prince Zhao Heng naturally stood aside and participated in it. Although Zhao Heng was still very immature, the emperor said that what better way to educate the prince than precepts and deeds?

Historically, the Crown Prince Zhao Heng didn't end well, but he was implicated by his father, and he couldn't help it.Of course, it cannot be denied that this guy is just a piece of mud that cannot support the wall.

Zhao Heng is still young, but he already has some official demeanor in words and deeds. The courtiers are happier than their own sons. It is the greatest joy to have successors in the court.

Zhao Heng himself knew that the opportunity was rare, and when he was with these people, he was very focused. There might be many things he couldn't understand or understand, but relying on his own memory, he logged in one by one, and then went to ask Yang Guang for advice.

In history, Zhao Ji had a total of 38 sons, 25 of whom lived to adulthood, but now, the situation seems to have changed.

There are not many people in the harem of the official family. In the early years, the two female officials of the Queen Mother, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Wang, were not well received by the official family, and they were both childless.

Only Queen Wang gave birth to three sons and one daughter.As for the future Song Gaozong, he was never born at all.Some people would talk about this abnormal phenomenon in the early years, but as the government has become more and more majestic, few people can talk about this aspect.

However, Queen Wang's health became worse and worse because of too frequent childbirth.

Others don't understand this truth, so doesn't Yang Guang understand it too?

Unfortunately, this is not only Yang Guang's arrangement, but also Wang's own choice.

Sure enough, within a few years, the queen passed away early.

The current Zhao Heng was taught by Yang Guang himself, and he believed in the children he taught himself.

In the first year of Daguan, the officials implemented the New Deal. Although this statement was not mentioned, everyone agreed that the New Deal began in the first year of Daguan.

In the early years, although the government continued to take new measures, there was no systematic reform. The reform in the first year of Daguan was comprehensive, so it was called the New Deal.

The territory of the Great Song Dynasty is still relatively peaceful, and there are occasional bandits in small troubles, so that's nothing to worry about.Now it is mainly foreign aggression, and the surrounding Daliao and Xixia have never stopped.

Although the Liao Kingdom has the support of the Song Dynasty, it can't stand the Jin Bing because it is really capable of fighting, and the Liao Kingdom is already decayed, so it can barely support it.

The Kingdom of Jin also had other thoughts, thinking of uniting with Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Kingdom together, and then the two countries would carve up the Liao Kingdom.

The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty have always wanted to take back the "Sixteen States of Youyun".

They secretly sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty, wanting to discuss the matter of alliance with the emperor of the Song Dynasty, but the news got out somehow.

Now, Daliao is a little flustered. If Song and Jin unite and attack from both sides, the current Daliao really can't hold on.

Fortunately, Daliao and Southern Song (Song is in the south of Liao, it is thought that the Southern Song Dynasty) formed an alliance long ago, which is really far-sighted.

However, if the conditions of Jin Guo are really superior to Daliao, maybe the Song people will tear up the covenant and choose to cooperate with Jin Guo.

The Liao people had a deep understanding of the treachery of the Song people. After a negotiation, they suffered countless losses in the final stroke.

But the problem is, what else can I do now that I have something to ask for?The Song people could only let the Song people step on the bottom line to change the situation between the two countries.

In the past, people in the Song Dynasty paid tribute to ministers, but now?It turned out to be the other way around. This alone has already caused many people to praise the current official family as the master of ZTE. It is as wise and capable as Yao and Shun. If they cooperate with the country, even if it is to do business with the devil, Song people will probably try it.

In addition, since the official took over the throne, he has said on many occasions that he would take back the words of "Sixteen Youyun Prefectures".

So, in the end how to choose, there is no way to avoid it...
