Chapter 103 The Emperor's Edict Comes
Thinking of this unprecedented major change, Li Gang was also extremely excited. Looking at Yue Fei, he smiled and said, "If the whole country is doing well, within one year, the government's income will not decrease, and the available places will increase. The Political Affairs Hall adheres to the emperor's order and plans roads, bridges, and water conservancy. Once you have a wealth of money, you will see the world again. Within five years, the situation will be new. If the court has money and uses it to manage the people, the world will become richer. There is no need to increase taxes, and the annual income will increase one after another, and the flow of water will not be corrupt, and the source will increase profits will be increased."
Yue Fei was thinking about the increase in military expenditures, and the imperial court's military expenditures increased year by year. There were many things that he dared not do before, and he could start calmly. He was happy, but he replied to Li Gang: "The Qin Emperor and Han Wu, exhausted the power of the world to cultivate the straight road, break the southern border, and destroy the Huns. Now, seeing Your Majesty and the ministers acted with him, it was to enrich the people and determine the world. It can be said to have opened up changes that had not been seen by his predecessors. It really made people think about it and feel ecstatic."
"This is a little closer." Li Gang nodded and said yes, but he no longer continued to discuss with Yue Fei on this topic. It is still a taboo for military generals to interfere in politics. There is no change in this. If Yue Fei had not been chatting with him in his private residence, he wouldn't have said a few words just now.
I immediately changed the topic and smiled at Yue Fei, "The general has a lot of military affairs. The camp stationed in Xiangyang stretches all over the place. Whenever I go out, I shout and kill when I get close to the camp. After I have a horse, I will rush and practice day and night. With the general's busy body, I will never be as simple as visiting me when I get here today."
"What my husband said is."
When Li Gang was so direct, Yue Fei smiled and replied: "The general's mind was not as expected by his husband. The training of troops has been effective, and the food, grass, medicine, armor and equipment are all ready. Even if we look at the overall situation, it seems that there is no time to take action. The general is hesitant and does not know the thoughts of His Majesty and the ministers of the Shufu Palace, so we come to find out the news. "
The two looked at each other and smiled. Li Gang also liked Yue Fei's frankness. Although he was a civil official, he had always been straightforward, had few taboos, and did not like intrigue. Therefore, his official career was ups and downs and downs and rarely was he really relied on and used. Even though he had been in the west of Beijing for many years, he had many decisive and arbitrary actions. If Zhao Huan had not known him well, he would not have been tolerated to continue serving as the national affairs of Pingzhang.
However, Zhao Huan let him take charge of the local area and prevented this resolute and strict minister from staying at the central government, which was also afraid that Li Gang's authority was too great and easy to restrain him.
But Li Gang smiled again and said, "You said it right. Now everything is ready, but only the east wind is not needed."
Yue Fei closed the smile on his face and bowed his body and said seriously: "Please give me a lecture."
"The Jin soldiers suffered a loss in Tongguan. They lost Taiyuan. The two generals Han and Yang entered Shandong again this spring. The pseudo-Qi could not resist, and the Jin soldiers were hastily mobilized. After the king's army retreated, the Jin soldiers could not chase them. The exhausted situation was obvious. The elite troops stationed in Xiangyang are now, and the Jin people are all talented and talented. How could they not see them? Because Taiyuan is more dangerous, they ignored Xiangyang and ordered the pseudo-Qi general Li Cheng to lead the troops to Wan, Luo prepare for defense, so that they can defend the territory. The elite Jin soldiers gathered in Hebei, sharpening their swords to Taiyuan, and Taiyuan lost. The battle and defense are easy, and there are two reasons why they have not taken action so far. One is that the Jin people are not resistant to heat in summer and the war horses are not at their best. Secondly, the Jin people are also fighting in the war and the two factions."
A smile appeared on Li Gang's face, and he continued to talk and explained in detail to Yue Fei.
The Jin Dynasty had already had wars and struggles, but the faction of the pro-war faction has always been strong and the pro-war faction is weak.
Because the Jin people had absolute advantage in force, they naturally disdained to beg for peace talks. Now, based on various information, the situation of the Jin nobles in Shangjing had long been fierce due to the battle between the two factions. Zong Fu, who had always been in charge of war, became the new leader of the peace faction. Zong Han was old and ignored political affairs. Wanyan Chang, Zong Pan and others had always been in charge of peace. After obtaining the land of Liao, they were addicted to wealth and no longer made progress as before. Zong Gan had always been in charge of war and peace. He was far from being outside the two factions and did not ask about the plan for war peace. Therefore, now, the only one who was the real war was the sixth son of Taizu. At the beginning of the founding of the country, he was only one thousand households, and even the deputy marshal did not gain any chance. The newly-appointed right deputy marshal, the Shenwang Wanyan Zongbi.
What made the upper class of the Jin Dynasty even more chaotic was that the king Wanyan Wu Qimai was seriously ill. In the past few years, the war in the Jin Dynasty was not going well. Wu Qimai's plan to make his son the crown prince failed. Everything was not going well, and he could not suppress many sons and nephews. His mood was not disturbed by national affairs. In addition, the Jurchens in the middle school were still between barbarism and civilization, and their diet was mainly meat, which was of no benefit to health. Last year, after the defeat of Tongguan and Chang'an, there was a rumor that Wu Qimai was seriously ill and could not afford it.
In this way, the battles between the upper classes of the Jin Kingdom also involved the battles of imperial power, which made it even more complicated. Not only was the Song Dynasty unable to understand the truth, but the upper class nobles of the Jin Kingdom, some of them participated in it, and some were afraid of implicating themselves. They shut up and ignored political affairs, and just waited for the situation to settle before they could be loyal to the new master.
When Li Gang said this, Yue Fei had already fully understood that the situation was so complicated and the original combat plan was to wait for the enemy to move first, but the Jin Dynasty politics was like this, and the overall situation was unfavorable. It was impossible to rely on the Jin soldiers to move first.
What Li Gang did not say clearly is that Han Xiaowei, the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty envoy, was still in Shangjing. Although Han Xiaowei did not have the mission of peace, he was responsible for visiting Emperor Zhao Ji. The Jin people's peace talks had the upper hand, so Zhao Ji and many royal families could be released. If the war faction gained power, the Song and Jin Association would go to war again and welcome the emperor to return the country's life and death, which was not worthy of justice.
Although the words were not stated, Yue Fei had already fully understood that there was no movement from the emperor to the Shuyuan to Li Gang, but it was because he was concerned about the matter of the emperor.
If the Jin people attacked, they would naturally have to fight. And when it was subtle, the Song soldiers took the initiative to attack. No matter how smooth the situation was, the emperor could not bear the charge of ignoring his father's safety.
He sighed in his heart, losing his fighter opportunity in pain, but he was completely unresisting in the matter of Ying Shanghuang. In the hearts of a pure warrior like Yue Fei, the capture of the Supreme Emperor is still the greatest shame for soldiers, and the military's duty is to defend the country, and the word "country" was originally included in the emperor.
After knowing this, Yue Fei became more relaxed. Since the situation is anxious, it is better to wait and see. Anyway, soldiers are more expensive than elites, so it is better to go out for training.
He talked to Li Gang for a few more words, knowing that although Li Gang's private residence was actually full of official duties every moment. Seeing that there were another group of officials in green or yellow robes were waiting in the outdoor room, he was not convenient for him to stay for a long time. He winked at Yue Yun, and the father and son stood up and smiled at Li Gang, "I have been disturbing my husband for a long time today. It's not too late, so I'll take my father and son back."
Gang did not stay empty, but stood up and smiled and said, "I am like a downtown every day. If I really drink tea and have fun with my friends, I will never be able to do it. I will wait until there is nothing to do in the world in the future, and then I will drink and have fun with the general."
Yue Fei bowed and withdrew in front of the people in the country.
After leaving the door, the other officials had been impatient for a long time, and they did not wait for Li Gang to call in, and had already entered one after another.
Before Yue Fei could walk far away, there was already a clamor inside. Yue Fei walked a few more steps in a muffled voice before turning to Yue Yun and said, "It is a good thing for the ministers to be like a city, but it is a bad thing. I can't stand such a day."
Except for greeting Li Gang, Yue Yun never dared to interrupt again. He was already very depressed. At this time, he became magnanimous and smiled: "My son can't stand it either. It's better to be a general. He only aims at the enemy with a knife and a gun. In this way, his own people come to the door every day, and they can't beat or scold them. It's really a headache."
Yue Fei shook his head and smiled, and did not answer his son's words. The father and son walked out of the back garden and went out from the side door. The soldiers waiting outside came up to meet him. When the two got on the horse, they surrounded them and went out to the camp outside the city.
After that, Yue Fei's army was reorganized, and he stayed up all day and night. At the same time, he paid close attention to the news from the north. After more than ten days, he received a letter from Chang'an, and the emperor ordered him to rush to report his duties.
In this way, there will be no military action in the short term. In addition to the rebels in the Taihang area still catching up with the Jin soldiers, all over the country have been peaceful for more than half a year, and the two sides have stopped. If it weren't for the spears and swords facing each other, there would have been a bit of a peaceful scene.
When Yue Fei received the edict, he knew in his heart that this was the emperor's expression that he wanted to rely more on him, but he always felt a little nervous.
In the second year of Jingkang, he was just an ordinary school, so he had no chance to witness Tianyan. In the following years, he repeatedly established Shuyun, and Zhao Gou trusted him very much and had already become the policing envoy. If it weren't for the Miao and Liu's mutiny, Liu Guangshi would have risen up, and Yue Fei finally turned against Zhao Gou for the most critical moment, obeyed Zhao Huan's orders and raised an army to destroy Liu Guangshi's rebellion, and after Zhao Huan gained great power, it is really hard to say whether he could trust and rely on him like Gou.
Of course, he didn't know that Zhao Huan used him because he knew him too much. But when he thought about it late at night, he felt that his fortune was quite disgraceful. Zhao Gou drowned. Anyone with a discerning eye knew who gave the order, which made him very wary of Zhao Huan and even a little dissatisfied.
These thoughts can only be hidden in his heart. Not to mention the words, even if he thinks about it privately, he quickly turns his thoughts and dare not think too much. In this way, Zhao Huan's performance has convinced the hearts of all civil and military officials and the people. Even he himself clearly understood that no matter what Zhao Huan had, he was also the most wise and decisive and trustworthy monarch in the Song Dynasty.
