Although Teng Zhongzheng is famous for his uprightness, he still cannot threaten Song Qi.

Zhao Kuangyi came over.

No minister dares to flatter.

But the Qingliu ministers also dared not speak out, because they were looking for a scam.

Zhao Kuangyi walked around with a dark face, his face filled with thick dark clouds.

This Fengshan battle will undoubtedly be a joke to be famous in history, so I came to Song Jiu and asked coldly: "Don't you say anything?"

"Your Majesty, wood is flammable and easy to conduct electricity. If your Majesty wants this tragedy to stop happening, it should be changed to a brick and stone building."

If Song Qi was going to bite Song Jiu again in normal times, this is the imperial palace. If the side palace was changed to Shundian, it doesn’t matter, but if the main palace was changed to Shundian, is it still necessary to change the tradition since ancient times? Could it be that you would wear a suit and T-shirt to go to the morning court in the future?

But now no one dares to refute.

But this is not Zhao Kuangyi’s original meaning, and he said, “What else is there?”

"Your Majesty, governing the country is based on benevolence. This is a natural disaster. After the fire is ignited, the soldiers will fight to the rescue without hesitation, otherwise the scope of the burning will be larger. I hope your Majesty will not hold the soldiers responsible."

In the second year of Jianlong, the Neijiufang caught fire, and the Song Dynasty was established at that time. In addition, the rebellion in various places made the country very poor. Zhao Kuangyin was furious and prepared to kill all the fifty wineries in the Neijiufang under the pretext of a fire that a winery wanted to invade Sansi and steal property. After repeated advice from the prime minister, Zhao Kuangyin still killed twelve winerymen.

The loss this time was even greater, so Song Jiu took the opportunity to persuade him.

Zhao Kuangyi was a little disappointed.

However, Song Jiu never said a word again.

Zhao Kuangyi waved his hand: "Go back."

Several main halls were burned, but the hundred sects were not burned, which did not affect the office.

Teng Zhongzheng chased after a few steps and asked Song Jiu: "Why don't you advise?"

Zhao Kuangyi asked twice in a row, obviously because he was angry, not because he was angry with Song Jiu, but because he was angry with Song Qi and others. Without their instigation, there would be no proposal for Fengshan. Then even with this fire, it would not make people think about it.

But Song Jiu's two answers were irrelevant.

"The words should be realistic, let alone the truth..."

These disasters are in charge of the emperor and the prime minister’s affairs?

Let’s talk about Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who has been a wise ruler who has been a combination of civil and military achievements and ethics for all ages. However, because he came from the Liu family, he made great contributions to prophecy and auspiciousness after ascending the throne. Why? This is used to prove his orthodoxy. Besides, Zhao Kuangyi.

Song Jiu almost made it clear.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyi is now in a violent state, and has unstable emotions and unclear rationality. What he said may not work. On the contrary, it will leave Zhao Kuangyi with a bad impression of taking advantage of the situation.

Song Jiu said again: "The prime minister must be tolerant."

"I'm ashamed."

"You are the censor and are famous for your integrity. You want to let you speak and dare to speak, so why should you be ashamed of it?"

Song Jiu left Teng Zhongzheng, who was standing there laughter and crying, and returned to Xifu.

There are still many things in Xifu.

Song Jiu drew out a stack of newspapers and was hesitant.

Wang Chengmei and his wife won two great victories, and received assistance from the Song Dynasty, so they repaired the fortress in Guangbei Northeast of He. Naturally, the people of Liao could not silently observe, so they asked Han Dejun to go out to fight in person and rush to Jiashan along the foot of Yinshan Mountain. There were several states in Shuowu Yingyun in the middle. The Song army must have no choice but to let Song Jiu send troops to Hedong Road and cut down the big tree of Liao. Han Dejun went to Jiashan and quickly destroyed several rebellious tribes and destroyed several forts under construction. Before the Wang family had reported it, the soldiers returned to the court. We were successful and the flag was victorious.

Maybe Han Dejie was a bit shameless in doing this, but he didn't say he had no achievements. This time he sent troops to shock many tribes in Jiashan and prevented the influence of the Song Dynasty and the Wang family from expanding eastward.

After receiving the front-line information, Song Jiu was not very disappointed. The Wang family's strength was still a little smaller. The court had no way to extend its strength north, so it might be too late to expand eastward. Such an ending may be a happy ending.

While the Liao Kingdom used troops to stop the fortunes, it also used troops to block fortunes.

He quickly suppressed several rebel tribes, but may have been detained in rebellion from all directions. The Song and Liao confronted each other. The Liao Dynasty was somewhat unable to do so, and did not stop the Bu people from communicating with the Song Dynasty. The Bu people were very happy. While offering loyalty to the Liao Dynasty, they continued to do business with the Song Dynasty to gain benefits.

But that would be such a good thing.

Don't try to get rid of it if you get involved.

After receiving the news, Song Jiu asked the scouts to go to the front line to inquire about a lot of news one after another.

Then two detailed memorials were written.

First of all, Fengzhou. This Fengzhou is not Fengzhou of the Tang Dynasty. Fengzhou of the Tang Dynasty is on the Yellow River at the foot of Xiyin Mountain and on the Beihe River. This Fengzhou is on the west side of the Fuzhou and the volcanic army, outside the ancient Great Wall. If we look at the territory of the Xixia and Liao Kingdom in the future, although it is connected to the Fuzhou, it can be said to be alone overseas.

To the north of Fengzhou is the Heqing Army, Jin Su Army, Dongshengzhou, and the inner and outer areas of the upper right corner of the Liao Dynasty. Further up is the Yunneizhou and Jiashan of the Liao Dynasty, Jinxi Mountain area, which is what the Liao Dynasty calls the Xishan Mountain.

If it were in the previous life of Song Jiu, this area would be from southwest of Hohhot to Dongsheng.

The most common people living here are Tatars, but the customs and habits are slightly different from those of Tatars such as Tarbu due to ethnic integration or other reasons, so they are also called Baidadan. The more they go north, the fewer Baidadan people go south.

The second is the Dangxiang people, with fewer going north and more to the south. Therefore, the Liao Kingdom claimed to be the expedition of Dangxiang in the southwest, and it was not necessarily the Wang family and the Li family, but also the Dangxiang people in this part.

There are also many Han people, who are of the third race. The second is the Tuyuhun people, a small number of Tubo people, or other races.

The geographical location here is extremely important, controlling the future Xixia, as well as the prefectures and Hedong of the Song Dynasty, controlling Yinshan in the west, and referring to Xijing in the east.

But before the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Kingdom became aligned, everyone ignored this place. Although this place was nominally a surviving area of ​​the Liao Kingdom, the current situation here is very similar to the place at the junction of Dali in the south of Bashu and Dali. If Dali expanded slightly northward, the Song Dynasty would not be cautious, and the Song Dynasty expanded slightly southward, Dali would not pay attention to it, unless the other party had the ambition to eat this buffer zone in one breath.

The Liao Kingdom did not take it to heart, but Zhao Kuangyi was also afraid.

Wherever the Wang family was headed, Zhao Kuangyi was worried that a new subordinate force would be formed.

In history, the Wang family finally destroyed the Western Xia.

However, without Xixia, nothing is easy to say. Song Jiu was also worried. After all, it was not the Zhe family in the prefecture and prefecture, and they were too far away from the Song territory.

However, Song Jiu thought for a long time.

What is the benefit of national decision-making 100%? You have to choose the key points.

Compared with the possible harm that the Wang family may have formed, the number one strong enemy of the Song Dynasty was the Liao Kingdom. Once Yanyun was obtained, the Central Plains would not be in danger and could release more troops. It could even adjust, allowing the Liao Kingdom to conflict with the Wang family and control the strength of the Wang family.

Therefore, you can't worry so much at this time.

It doesn’t take much money from the court to spend, and Song Jiu doesn’t want to waste it. It’s just that no one knows the future harm of Xixia.

First, expand the wool trade route to the northern part of Fengzhou, and even the leather of the Liao Kingdom can be transported through Jiashan, and the production and traffic of the Song Dynasty were transported out. In the stalemate of the Song and Liao Dynasty, a smuggling trade route was formed. Then the formation of this interest link will cause the tribes to gradually turn completely to the Song Dynasty. Second, the salt was expensive, and the cost of salt was high, but because of the high cost of salt, which made the salt price expensive. The eastern part of the Liao Kingdom also produced salt. This led to the entire Hebei region being hit by Liao salt, so that the trade laws could not be implemented. However, these salts could not be transported to Jiashan due to the cost.

Therefore, Song Jiu proposed to open some roads and improve transportation vehicles so that the green salt can hit a wider area. Due to the war in the Central Plains, many people fled to take refuge here, and the number of people surrendered to Wang Chengmei alone reached more than 70,000 accounts, and each account was a family. You can imagine the number of people here.

Once the Qingyan Road is expanded, the four prefectures in Dingnan will benefit, the Wang family will benefit, and the Jiashan tribes will benefit, and at the same time, the resentment of the party and wealthy families near Yanchi will be reduced. What the court needs is only a driving role, which can closely connect this area with the Central Plains.

The Liao Kingdom will have a headache. If the force conquers, the tribes will become more rebellious. If they do not conquer, they will not provide enough benefits to win over the hearts of the people.

The same is true for the Bubu side.

Xiao Yanyan wanted to be quiet and inactive. She turned a blind eye to the wool trade route, but what if she stopped her horses from trafficking to the Song Dynasty?

Dangxiang horses are Hetao horses, tall and have strong explosive power. The horses on the rushing side are relatively shorter, and they are later Mongolian horses, but these horses are more hard-working. Genghis Khan used not Hetao horses, but all Mongolian horses in his expedition to Europe.

As long as they move, the Liao Kingdom will definitely not be able to sit still. But what should they do? If they send troops to suppress them, the resentment of each unit will become heavier. Then, with a little guidance, a large-scale rebellion will occur. Or banning merchants will not work. The desert area is vast and sparsely populated, so where can we resist it?

What the Song Dynasty did was to send hundreds of merchants.

If it were the original, Song Qi would definitely have eye drops again. But how could he take care of it now?

...

After a few days of silence, Zhao Kuangyi calmed down.

Two edicts were issued in a row, and the disaster was delayed in the main hall. It may be that I did something wrong. If there are any mistakes in punishment and reward, the measures are correct, or the recent habits are blocked, and the situation of things is blocked, and the taxes are not uniform. Many wise people have discussed it, and the ministers from both China and abroad have no hidden secrets in each period.

The world's posts, prefectures and county officials, may know the interests of folk customs, and have appointed government orders, and may also be allowed to be posted in the province to hear the news. What you say is admirable and rewarded must be carried out. If nothing is taken, you will not be punished.

Let the people all over the world speak together.

I have done something wrong, or the officials have made something wrong, or the government orders are wrong, or the punishment and rewards are improper, or the taxes are uneven, or I have no use of good ministers, and you can react to me.

Song Qi then said: "A man of a crazy and blind man should be harsh."

Maybe he was guilty of being a thief, and then added: "But you never give up on me to open up the way of speech, and you will be the virtue of a saint."

Is there anyone who really listens to Zhao Kuangyi's words? It is unknown whether Song Jiu is not in the East Mansion. According to convention, all suggestions, except those related to criminal cases, must be sent to the East Mansion.

But in the early July, Zhao Kuangyi finally issued an edict, saying that Fengshan had been around for a long time, and now he was in good health, so he was doing it well. However, the main hall was hit by disaster, so he carried out major events, which may not be in accordance with the will of heaven, and the heat was burning. He was deeply worried that he would be exhausted, so he was not too late to conquer the time. He found a step for himself, stopped Fengshan, and only held a sacrifice ceremony in the southern suburbs on the winter solstice.

The court was also changed to the Dengwen Procuratorate, the east Yanen's rank was Chongren's rank, the south Zhaojian's rank was Sijian's rank, the west Shenwen's rank was Shenming's rank, and the north Tong Xuan's rank was recruiting procuratorate.

These four institutions are similar to petition institutions in later generations. However, they are more complicated than petition institutions, including unjust cases, national policies, strategies, people's livelihood, and dissatisfaction with officials. You can complain to these institutions.

Then let’s give suggestions together.

All kinds of suggestions were handed over to Zhao Kuangyi.

But not long after, Zhao Kuangyi became irritated and said to Song Qi: "I issued an edict to seek benefits and diseases among the people. However, most of the people who are in charge of the court do not know the order of the court. What I said is that Menglang is not good. I originally wanted to be confident in the lower class, so that the affairs are not blocked, so even if they are crazy and swift, they will be accommodated. Since ancient times, ministers have advised the king, which is a good thing, but they must be reasonable. The country must also promote the people who are fair. If you sell fame and seek promotion, you will not be good."

It hit Song Qi's heart.

But Song Jiu sat next to him. Song Qi couldn't say to Your Majesty. You said well, so he said: "My little minister, your Majesty will be detailed. Good and evil, wise and foolish, don't escape the heavenly clue. If you can pick one or two things in everything, the country's benefit will be."

Listening to their conversation, Song Jiutu was amused.

"why are you laughing?"

"Your Majesty, what did you do when you were young? Your Majesty knew. At that time, I had dealt with the yamen and read some poetry and books, but Your Majesty kept saying that I was frivolous. It was not that I was frivolous by nature, and I could see the rainbow without storms. How could I know the order of the country without hard work? How could I know the order of the country if I want to open up a wide range of words? Why did you use such trouble?"

"oh."
To be continued...
