Chapter 525 Multiple Choice Questions (Part 2)

Needless to say, the conflict between Wang Qinruo and Kou Zhun intensifies.

But he was not happy with Song Jiu, mainly because of such a big plan. Song Jiu didn't say a word, which made him feel embarrassed. However, his personality was that dark, and he didn't scream immediately like Kou Zhun was not happy, but he kept holding on like a poisonous snake.

It was not until Zhao Heng found a prince of Youzhou that he quietly made a small report.

At that time, he was scolded by Zhao Heng.

However, Zhao Heng has always loved Wang Qinruo very much. The first one is indeed capable, and the second one is successful in him.

He scolded him a few words and let him go.

However, Wang Qinruo ignored a eunuch around Zhao Heng, Li Shenyou, Li Shenyou and an older brother who was also working as eunuchs, named Li Shenfu.

Song Jiu rarely interacts with eunuchs.

But because the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were not very bad, even Tong Guan had to be treated in two ways. Among the six thieves of Song Huizong, Tong Guan was considered better. Therefore, he did not hate eunuchs very much, let alone offend eunuchs?

There is also Song Jiu who is not evil to the generals. Li Shenfu followed Zhao Kuangyi to fight over Taiyuan, so he had a good impression of Song Jiu. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyi always held a high evaluation of Song Jiu in his heart, which affected the brothers Li Shenfu and Li Shenyou.

That's fine. He thought that Song Jiu was a good person, the best minister of the Song Dynasty, and he always held his merits and became proud. This is different from Kou Zhun.

Although Zhao Heng did not support Wang Qinruo's brief report, Wang Qinruo's words were quite vicious, which would have some impact on Zhao Heng's psychology, so he secretly told Song Jiu about this.

After hearing this, Song Jiu frowned.

Wang Qinruo may not be happy, but he is about to go down, and Mr. Wang will come to mess with him. Song Jiu is not happy.

But there are still opportunities to find one.

The car drove back south, and the chiefs of various tribes accompanied him to worship Lushan.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be called Fengshan. Only by reaching Mount Tai can it be considered Fengshan. This time, it can only be said to be a sacrifice to the town, and sacrifice to the Beizhen Lushan Mountain.

When sacrifice to the town, these chiefs would be given some rewards and some official positions that were not worthy of money, and then Zhao Heng would return to the capital from Youzhou.

Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, some buildings have been built here, and the Liao Kingdom has often come to worship this mountain. Although Zhao Heng came to worship the town, he did not spend much extra money. He only repaired the main peak, Wanghai Peak stone path, and rebuilt the Beizhen Temple built by Li Yuan. He took action a little stingy, but the ministers were very happy. Under the leadership of Song Jiu, the pragmatic style of the upper class of the Song Dynasty was heavier than in history.

Up to the top, a series of rituals ended, and the Wanghai Hall, built in Liao Kingdom, was rested on that day.

Zhao Heng will go down the mountain tomorrow, and at this time, Song Jiu will be separated from Zhao Heng. The capital of Youzhou Road is in Youzhou. But he cannot stay in Youzhou. After the actual stability, Youzhou Road must be divided, everything is two and everything is three, otherwise Youzhou will be too far from the Huntong River.

Therefore, Song Jiu will go to Dongyang and Changchun to change it to Wuhuo City in Luyang.

Zhao Heng called out Song Jiu, it was easy to control it. He didn't think that the Northeast would be taken down if the Liao Kingdom was destroyed. There were not many examples of gains and losses outside the pass in history.

Song Jiu expressed his thoughts in his heart.

Zhao Heng also agreed.

Song Jiu suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, is our dynasty now like the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties?"

Logically speaking, the Song Dynasty destroyed the Liao Kingdom and almost reached its peak.

However, Zhao Heng thought about it for a while, but began to ponder.

Song Jiu answered for him: "The Qin Dynasty unified the world, swept across the eight deserts, and swallowed the angrily ones. Our dynasty was not as good as that."

"The nomadic peoples of the Han Dynasty after Guangwu almost did not cause fatal harm. The so-called military use is just to remove the scabies on their bodies, and our court cannot do it."

"At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, the troops reached Xiaohai. They crossed the Palacio Mountains to the west and once reached the Hezhong area (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan). Li Bai's hometown is west of the Palacio Mountains."

"But our dynasty dared not cross Lanzhou. Jiaozhi was called "Qingfeng", which was a false violation. Dali was too lazy to send envoys to pay tribute. Compared with them, our dynasty had also passed the rule of two generations of wise emperors, and even Zhou Shizong laid a good foundation for our dynasty. Only this step can be achieved, so our dynasty cannot be called a prosperous dynasty."

"this……"

"I know that because our dynasty cares about the people and raises soldiers, the cost of using soldiers is very high. However, compared with the Han and Tang Dynasties, how much has our dynasty earned?"

"I know, I can't be proud and complacent."

"I am going to say this. Your Majesty must know that there is a vast world outside. Hundreds of years ago, the Khitan was just a small tribe with more than 1,000 tents, but it almost harmed my huge Central Plains dynasty. The outside world is so big, with so many countries and so many people. If you think that our dynasty is the central dynasty of the world, your descendants will be proud and complacent. Once you develop this mentality, you will be content with enjoyment. Don't wait for the external countries to wake up and develop rapidly to keep up, and your dynasty can destroy the country from the inside. Your Majesty should continue to maintain the conscientious work and be cautious for several years. Even future generations should take Your Majesty as an example..."

"I accompanied Your Majesty to worship the town, and suddenly I thought of a person, that is Li Si. Therefore, because Mount Tai does not allow soil, it can make it big; the rivers and seas do not choose streams, so it can reach its depth; the kings do not abandon the common people, so it can understand their virtues. Therefore, there is no four directions in the land, no foreign country, the four seasons are filled with beauty, and ghosts and gods bring blessings. The reason why these five emperors and three kings are invincible is said to be so good, but later he feared the majesty of Qin Shihuang and did not dare to speak out, and even silently regarded the second generation ascended the throne without righteousness, so Qin's second generation died."

"In the past, I also valued Kou Zhun, and many people valued him. Zhao Pu Gong, Chen Shu, the first and third envoy of the Song Dynasty, and Bi Shi'an, half of his emperor's teacher. In fact, Kou Zhun is the only one who is too enjoyable, and I am not used to it. Speaking of Kou Zhun, I remembered two old ministers, Tian Xixi, and were a little uncomfortable with their ministers. However, when I came to Wanghai Peak and looked at the east sky, I suddenly realized. Although they sometimes made a statement one-sided statement, it was they who dared to make suggestions and dared to express their own opinions with the ministers in the court."

"Your Majesty, the emperor's power is dominant, and it also needs supervision. Just like Zhao Pu and Taizu, Zhao Pu's life is destitute and luxurious, but Taizu wanted a Hualanzi but could not. Why did Taizu not get angry? Because this is invisible constraints on the emperor's power to avoid the emergence of a foolish monarch like Emperor Yang of Sui. However, the constraints are not only various systems, but also systems are formulated by people. They are also enforced and followed by people. Therefore, the court must have voices. Of course, one thing to note is that one cannot be held together or formed a party, so the court needs Kou Zhun."

Zhao Heng's first sentence: "I also know that Kou Zhun is a wise minister."

"It's not only Kou Zhun, but Zhang Qixian is proficient in military affairs, but the country also depends on him. However, he handles fairly and chooses people justly. He is still Wang Dan, who is left behind in Tokyo. If Wang Qin has talent, he is too flattering and valued, he can confuse the emperor. Please remember it."

Song Jiu finished speaking in one breath and sighed in his heart.

This may be his last multiple-choice question.

It turned out that when he came to discuss matters, he wanted to take the opportunity to get Wang Qinruo down, but in the end he took it easy and let Wang Qinruo go.

With his current status and prestige, it is enough to prevent Wang Qinruo from using it within ten years.

But no matter how angry he is, when you think about the court, everyone is still the same. Can Kou Zhun be called fair when doing things and employed people?

Let them fight slowly in the future.

However, Song Jiu did not expect that this was not the last multiple-choice question. Multiple-choice questions were everywhere.

The next day, Zhao Heng set off and returned to Beijing.

I have been away from the capital for a long time, but fortunately Wang Dan did a good job. Otherwise, Zhao Heng, the emperor, would have had many minor troubles in the back after so long.

Song Jiu went to Liaodong.

Although the court agreed to Song Jiu's naturalization policy and the division of several new paths.

However, some ministers expressed their opposition that the area of ​​Youzhou Road was too large, and it almost covered 80% of the original Liao Dynasty's direct jurisdiction area and nearly one million households.

Therefore, the entire Youzhou actually became six major parts. The first is the prefectures and counties near Youzhou. It reaches Yanshan in the north, the sea in the east, and the Shanhaiguan under construction. It originally proposed to be erected in the south.

The Great Wall is still protected, and people are prohibited from cutting down, not only because it can be used as an emergency line of defense, but also the last barrier of the Central Plains is also very beneficial to water and soil protection. Not only the Yellow River, but now the Juma River also brings rolling mud and sand from the Taihang Mountains.

The second is Zhongping Prefecture, the Zhongjing area of ​​the Liao Kingdom, which is connected to Shanhaiguan Yanshan in the south, which manages the original Zhongjing area of ​​the Liao Kingdom, and then Shangyang Prefecture, which is the Shangjing area of ​​the Liao Kingdom. However, the scope of direct management has become smaller. Starting from the big waters in the southwest, to Yong'an Mountain, Tu'er Mountain and Mantou Mountain, and to the Daxing'an Mountains in the east, it is Jinshan Mountain. Another is Changchun Prefecture, to the Jinshan City in the upper reaches of the Yazi River in the north, to Lubushi Wei tribes, Tieli tribes, and to the former Liao Kingdom Tongzhou that was re-changed into Siping, there are also Shiwei tribes and Shiwei Prince Mansions above, but it is too far away, and it is sparsely populated and has inconvenient transportation. The Song Dynasty only adopted a policy of restraint. The east is to the sea, and this vast area is the jurisdiction of the Luyang Prefecture. The area under the jurisdiction of the Luyang Prefecture can be twice the area before the Song Dynasty! The remaining southern Liao area belongs to the rule of Dongyang Prefecture.

In six areas, Song Jiu requested to leave six generals, Yang Yanzhao, Wei Neng, Yang Si, Zhang Ning, Tian Min, and Li Jixuan.

In addition, there were five officials including Lu Yijian, who guarded the five prefectures and assisted Song Jiu in governing Youzhou Road.

Lu Yijian was on the front line, Shangyang Prefecture, the situation here is very complicated and harsh, and the transportation is backward. Fortunately, under Xiao Yanyan's management, farming methods also appeared.

However, compared with the other five prefectures, Shangyang Prefecture is the most troublesome.

Lu Yijian is the second generation of officials, and it may be a derogatory term. Some people knew him in the Song Dynasty, so they kept calling for poor families. It was not that poor families would be outstanding. On the contrary, many poor families were very greedy after becoming officials. This was mainly to prevent the court from forming various families of officials, thereby affecting the rule of the court.

However, in addition to some unfilial children who do evil and bully others, the second generation of officials also have some good ones, such as not so eager for money, such as growing up with their parents, being influenced by their eyes and being more experienced once they become officials.

Lu Yijian is the latter. Shangyang Mansion has the most headache, but it is also the most likely place to achieve political achievements.

Everyone was fighting for Dongyang Prefecture, where there were many Han people, good foundations, and most of them were rich. After fighting, Kou Zhun showed his power and did not avoid relatives and enemies, so he asked Wang Shu to go to Dongyang Prefecture.

The remaining Luyang Mansion is better. Song Jiu had been to the Jurchens before. Although the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed, the people from some places were very close to the Song Dynasty. The remaining two places had headaches. The various ethnic groups in the northern part of Changchun Prefecture, including some Jurchen tribes, some Wei people, and other ethnic groups, were very close to the Liao Kingdom, and secretly took in a large number of Khitan nobles who escaped. Moreover, the land was vast and sparsely populated. Except for a Kuntong River and Yazi River, the transportation was still inconvenient, the weather was extremely cold, and it was too far from the Central Plains. Zhongping Mansion was close to Youzhou, but there were many mountainous areas.

There are not many mountainous areas. In addition to the narrow Shanhaiguan Corridor, most of the remaining Xi people are the people. It is these Xi people who will have more headaches than the Khitans. First, they are not what the Song Dynasty rulers and ministers thought, and their hatreds are as deep as the sea. On the contrary, they merge well and almost become a whole, and are very loyal to the Khitans.

It has nothing to do with how many soldiers were killed by the Song army. The north has always been martial, and the methods are too soft, which may be counterproductive. Of course, it cannot be so tough when governing, soft when soft, and hard when hard. But they will inevitably be disgusted with the Song Dynasty.

Secondly, the Song army abducted many people, and a large number of Yanyun people fled to the north of Yanshan Mountain. There were many river valleys here, suitable for planting. Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang encouraged the people to do this, so many river valleys here were reclaimed. This is a good thing, but the bad things are caused by these Xi people.

A large number of Han people moved here, so these Xi people sat in the circle, this is our land, and you must pay the land rent when you cultivate and plant, so they became landlords one by one. Song Jiu did not discriminate against any ethnic group.

But this kind of atmosphere is definitely unbearable. The Han people cannot be above other ethnic groups, but other ethnic groups cannot be superior to the Han people. Once this habit is developed, the northern ethnic groups will be unruly and will not be able to cure them even if they want to.

But we can't let it go. Not to mention that there are many people here, even if we don't, we can't let it go. Once we give in, the thin Shanhaiguan Corridor can be cut off at any time, and then it will be lost outside the pass. Song Jiu will not make any mistakes again in the Ming Dynasty. However, in this way, the Zhongping Prefecture area will have even more headaches.

In fact, in Song Jiu's heart, the Luyang Mansion also had a headache. Now the Jurchens have a good impression of the Song Dynasty, but like husband and wife, they will definitely be very happy when they fall in love. Once the firewood, rice, oil and salt are all over the world, and countless trivial things in life will inevitably be bumpy and bumpy, and the same is true for the Jurchens. Moreover, they are so far from the Central Plains, and there are very few Han people here. If the foundation is not laid well, the Jurchens may rise in the long run.

That mansion has a headache.

Anyway, it was the same, so Li Di went to Zhongping Prefecture, and Zhang Zhibai went to Luyang Prefecture. The most troublesome Changchun Prefecture had to come, so Wang Zeng went to Changchun Prefecture, and he was equipped with Li Jixuan and tens of thousands of cavalry to train and farm.

Everything is in the grass.
