Emperor Zongwu: Choose the fetters of treacherous ministers at the beginning

Page 41

Before that, they harassed the sea area of the Ming Dynasty more.

But recently it was indeed frightened by the Ming Dynasty, which brought disaster to the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

"Da Song also needs a navy general."

At this moment, he thought of a person.

Han Shizhong.

When I was still the prince, I found Han Shizhong.

At that time, he was still a school lieutenant in the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kai took good care of him and hoped that he would serve Song Dynasty in the future.

It's just that at that time, there were too few pieces of famous generals under him who were qualified to form the bond, so it was impossible to form the bond of famous generals.

So he decided to let Han Shizhong concentrate on development first, and quietly developed a water village militia in the Jiangnan area.

If there is any navy in the Song Dynasty that can be on the table, I am afraid that I can only go to Jiangnan to find Han Shizhong.

"This dark chess left three or four years ago should be activated now."

Zhao Kai pondered.

"Okay, Da Song has agreed to the establishment of a naval division. We can't let those Japanese pirates everywhere in the sea and coast of Da Song, plunder our property, and slaughter our people! Zhu, this Dongying island country, if I find a chance, I will destroy it!"

At this time, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Now I don't have enough food and salaries in the Great Song Dynasty to raise sailors. The northern Jin Kingdom and Daliao are the biggest threats, and Japanese pirates are nothing to worry about."

Cai Jing said.

"That's right, Your Majesty, think twice!"

Tong Guan was also worried.

What he was most worried about, of course, was that Zhao Kai would once again reduce the food and salaries of the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty.

After all, a while ago, Zhao Kai dismissed an imperial army and reduced their pay on the grounds that the imperial army of the Song Dynasty had no combat power and wasted food.

It's just that they didn't know that Zhao Kai was saving the food and salary to let Yue Fei train the new army.

All he knew was that it made him less oily.

"Why, you dear ones have a lot of objections to this?"

Zhao Kai asked coldly.

The next moment, Qin Hui stood up and said: "Actually, it's good to train a navy. We don't need too many imperial troops to deal with Jinliao. We only need to pay tribute, and we can seek peace for a few more years."

"Let me pay tribute to the ministers of the Liao Kingdom?"

It was rare for Zhao Kai to go to court for the first time, and he was really going to be pissed off by these treacherous officials.

"Qin Hui, I promoted you because you said such remarks? From now on, if there are such remarks in the court that disturb the morale of the army, they will be executed immediately!"

In an instant, the court was silent like a cicada.

They were all frightened by Zhao Kai's terrifying power.

Even the few battle-tested veterans in the court immediately felt that the young Song Emperor was terrifying.

At this moment, Zhao Kai really felt that it was time to use a group of virtuous and capable officials to check and balance this group of treacherous officials.

It is really not a good thing that there are too many surrender factions above the court.

"Zongze, what do you think?"

Zhao Kai asked the most reliable old general in the court.

"My minister thinks that wars are fought with the national treasury. Our Dasong treasury is full, and we have enough food and pay to form a navy. Moreover, there are many water bandits in the Great Song Dynasty, and our Dasong also has a navy dedicated to suppressing bandits, so we also have a large seawater basis of the teacher."

"It's nothing more than that the warship to be built is bigger and stronger."

"Soldiers' training should also focus on water combat."

Zong Ze stood up and analyzed it.

"Okay, that's it. General Zong, you go to Jiangnan to find Han Shizhong. You two will supervise the building of the navy. In terms of money and food, I will ask the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War to give you a satisfactory answer."

Zhao Kai made a decisive decision.

facing backwards.

People from the Hongju Temple of the Ministry of Rites took Li Yuanfang and other envoys of the Wu Zhou Dynasty to the posthouse set up by the Wu Zhou Dynasty in the Song Dynasty to rest.

"Brother Yuanfang, the Great Song Emperor is quite handsome, and he is also very domineering. What do you think?"

On the side, Yunying was elated.

Li Yuanfang nodded, and said: "It seems that the empress is right. With such a new emperor in the Song Dynasty, he is likely to rise rapidly in the future. Our Wuzhou Dynasty wants to make friends with the Song Dynasty."

On the side, Gongsunli was a little puzzled and said, "Why does His Majesty the Song Dynasty look so wise and powerful, but he doesn't stop the two sword gods from competing at the top of the Shenwu Pavilion in the Song Dynasty Palace?"

At this time, Pei Qinhu said: "A Li, I think that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is also a person who loves martial arts. He should also want to watch the two sword gods fight at close range. Can you watch the battle from the best position? Is it good? Hehe."

"Ahu is still smart."

Yunying patted Pei Qinhu's head, but she looked forward to the sword god battle two days later.

"I'm afraid, this sword god duel is not that simple. Master Di told me that judging from the various information of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, this duel is full of strangeness. At that time, we should just watch it from a distance, and don't be fooled by it." Get involved."

Li Yuanfang warned.

"Don't worry, it's alright!"

Yunying still looked indifferent.

……

Inside the Shenwu Pavilion.

At this moment Zhao Kai fell into deep thought.

"Brother, I made you a new snack, do you want to try it?"

Huang Rong came with a plate of snacks.

Zhao Kai smiled and took it.

"Well, it's delicious."

After taking a bite of snacks, he said to the door again: "Canaan, ask Wei Yuan to come over!"

"Yes, Master."

Not long after, Wei Yuan came in a hurry.

At this moment, the grand master of the Celestial Phenomena Realm seemed to be a little tired.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Today, the court is angry with those treacherous officials."

"If the subordinates go down and kill them all, all the property of these treacherous officials will be confiscated, and we will have enough military expenses for the war."

Wei Yuan suggested.

"No hurry, fatten up and then kill. But now there are too many treacherous officials in the court, and other ministers don't have the guts to compete with them. I plan to promote the loyal officials and some sages who were protected before in advance to compete with them."

Zhao Kai said.

The fetters of virtuous ministers are not low requirements, and five virtuous ministers must be gathered together to form the first layer of fetters.

Before that, Zhao Kai had just ascended the throne, and his power was unstable.

In line with the idea of protecting virtuous officials, they do not promote virtuous officials.

Lest they be killed by traitors.

Now, Zhao Kai has enough power in the court.

Even if he couldn't form the bond of virtuous ministers, he still had to promote a group of virtuous ministers.

"This is the list of talents His Majesty asked his subordinates to prepare."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan immediately handed over the list he had prepared a long time ago.

Zhao Kai took the list.

He was not in a hurry to read it, and asked, "Why are you so tired?"

"Recently, there are too many cases in the imperial city. Many of them cannot be handled by the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Some princes and nobles are involved, or some masters in the world are involved. They don't dare to take care of them. They all push it to us to send someone to handle it. "

"Tired."

Zhao Kai said something with concern.

Then look at the list.

"Oh? It seems that someone can help you."

Zhao Kai laughed.

"who?"

Zhao Kai pointed to a person on the list.

"This man's name is Bao Zheng. He has a dark face and is called Bao Heitan. He is also young, and there is a young genius guard named Zhan Zhao beside him. This guard can also be well trained, and his potential in the future may surpass that of Wu Wu. Li Yuanfang of the Zhou Dynasty."

"This Bao Zheng is very smart and knowledgeable. He can be promoted and sent to the Criminal Department to be in charge of case investigation."

Zhao Kai said, and immediately found another person.

"Haha, who said that there are many treacherous ministers in the Great Song Dynasty, and talents are scarce? Our Great Song Dynasty has a lot of talents, definitely no less than any other dynasty! And this one!"

Zhao Kai pointed at another person.

"His name is Song Ci, and he is also a very powerful and intelligent young man. He likes to study medicine, especially good at autopsy. His ability to investigate cases is definitely not inferior to Bao Zheng!"

"If the Ministry of Criminal Justice has Bao Zheng to be impartial and selfless, and Song Ci to distinguish Qiu Hao, your task of beating the police will be much easier."

At this time, Wei Yuan also opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Kai sighed slightly.

Bao Zheng is naturally a seedling of a virtuous minister who can form the bond of a virtuous minister.

However, Song Ci is not Miao Zi, a virtuous minister, but Miao Zi, who is bound by a strange man.

He can be used to form the fetters of strange people and strange people.

Regardless, it's important to bring these two up.

With his control over the court, no treacherous officials could harm them.

"Also, and, look at this list, it's all the national treasures of my Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Kai pointed to the list and praised it repeatedly.

"The Ministry of Punishment joins Bao Zheng and Song Ci, and then the Ministry of War."

Zhao Kai must have wise and loyal ministers among the six departments.
