Chapter 421 Measure

Zhao Bing did not expect to fully grasp the government affairs. After all, he was too young to meet the necessary conditions for taking charge of the government. But he could not give up his voice in the court, so he had to break the situation where the court was dominant and gradually control the overall situation. Now it was an opportunity. Zhang Shijie's arbitrary behavior in the Battle of Yashan had already caused dissatisfaction among civil officials, and his escape at the critical moment disappointed the generals. Even if he tried his best to make up for it, the cracks had already emerged, and even if he forced them to be put together, the traces were still there. Therefore, Zhang Shijie's position in the court had been shaken.

Preventing the autocracy of military generals has always been the basic national policy of the Song Dynasty and has been well implemented. Even if the general of the country was destroyed, Chen Yizhong could suppress Zhang Shijie tightly. It was not until he fled to Champa that Liu Xiufu had just entered the court again, and Zhang Shijie took the opportunity to control the government. But no one would be willing. Now that he had the opportunity, Liu Xiufu would not be willing. Now with the dark horse Wen Tianxiang, who had always been incompatible with Zhang Shijie, entered the court, and Zhang Shijie had the final say alone, the day that Zhang Shijie had the final say was over. Therefore, Zhao Bing was very concerned about whether Wen Tianxiang could regain a place in the court.

But to be honest, from Zhao Bing's perspective, these three people are not the most suitable candidate for government affairs. He is not disgusted with military affairs, especially in this period when the country is in trouble and military is the main force. However, Zhang Shijie was a military general who had no experience in governing and lacked strategic vision, so he really could not take on this stamina. Mrs. 6 Xiu was very diligent and organized in her work, not afraid of dirt or fatigue, and worked hard every day like an old ox, but she lacked qualifications and experience, and could not play with the people and things in the court.

Wen Tianxiang is the most famous among the three. He has a high prestige among the military and civilians. He also has many advantages. For example, he has courage to do things, dare to do things, has a way to do things, is not afraid of offending others, and can stand alone. In short, he is a capable official. But his shortcomings are as outstanding as his advantages. It is a good thing to dare to do, but recklessness will lead to bad things. If he brought Jiang Wanzai to train new recruits when he left the court, the governor's army would have a low quality due to lack of training and would be defeated if he encountered a strong enemy. In addition, he was a civil official himself, but had no experience in managing the army, and lacked combat experience, so he dared to command them to fight. If he was undefeated, it would be unreasonable.

Zhao Bing felt that Wen Tianxiang's biggest shortcoming was that he had to decide everything himself. He was arrogant and felt that Shangguan was not as good as himself, especially liked to "resist the emperor", which led to his high prestige in the opposition, but few people were favored in the court, especially Shangguan was disliked. Of course, this was not nonsense. When he was defeated twice, he had requested to return to the court, but he was rejected by Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie. If Chen and Zhang were selfish, why wouldn't there be so many ministers in the court come forward to ask for his orders?

After Wen Tianxiang's problems were revealed, Zhao Bing was also hesitant to use him. He took a long time to help him to a high position, but once he had a dispute with him or had a different concept, he would have a temper when he threw a rake and got angry again. What made people even more worried is that one day he felt that he was an incompetent emperor, and then he would have joined hands with all the ministers to hang himself up. If he became a powerful minister, he would shoot himself in the foot. So I want to see what attitude Zhang Shijie and Liu Xiufu were.

Returning to Qiongzhou is of course also Zhao Bing's most concerned thing. Although Nagada is not suitable as a place to command the national liberation war, it is currently the most suitable base. There are now its own confidants and a team that started with it. It is always its own territory. Anyone who goes there must be three points shorter. In addition, Qiongzhou is not useless. At least, salt and iron have been found now, and it is an important trade channel that can obtain financial support. As long as it is well managed, it can still maintain a life and will not float around the sea like now.

At the beginning, Zhao Bing was afraid that the court would move to Qiongzhou and was worried that they would compete for their territory, but now that he is the emperor, there is nothing to be afraid of. But you still have some concerns. Think about the entire national organization has moved to Qiongzhou, but then it is a place with a big butt, let alone raising soldiers, and officials have grown in geometric shapes. But now Qiongzhou is at most a prefecture-level city with such a big arsenal, with only such a big arsenal, and only the prefecture-level governments at the prefecture-level level. They have to arrange so many officials. I am afraid that even the townships and the villages will be replaced by national civil servants.

However, Zhao Bing was also worried that even if so many provincial and ministerial officials were sent to the village, how to solve the treatment problem and how to deal with the level problem was all bad. Moreover, there are also a group of ministers from Qiongzhou who were secretly accused of being from Long Yougong. Now that they are emperors, they have to be willing to give it to everyone and get promoted! Even if everyone has a high style and doesn’t ask for it, they are not willing to give it to them. But in the final analysis, these all involve money, but money can be earned, but we have to go back first!

But now listening to Liu Fu's words, Zhang Shijie is planning to attack Guangzhou. There is no need to ask what it means, just to continue to build in Yashan or some other place. In theory, the idea is good. Taking advantage of the Yuan army's defeat to regain Guangzhou City, but Guangzhou is already a four-change rival. It is probably three feet tall to solve the problem of funds by relying on this. Moreover, it is difficult to defend Guangzhou City. Kublai Khan learned that Zhang Hongfan, Ali Hague and others failed repeatedly, and the "bandit trouble" was still rampant, and he would definitely send troops to fight again. Guangzhou City is still difficult to settle for a long time, and sooner or later he would have to swing towards the sea.

And Wen Tianxiang's arrangement was not mentioned at all, so he could only wait as a criminal minister, let alone solve the problem of political treatment. Zhao Bing thought that either he was not attentive or both assistants were worried that Wen Tianxiang would be appointed, so they would have to make the place free. The power was tempting, and even if the surrender was over, he could make the Tartars look up to him. Moreover, when the king was weak and the ministers were strong, he was the actual controller of the country, the uncrowned king!

Zhao Bing estimated the situation. Now, because of the victory of the Battle of Yashan, his prestige has greatly improved, and some court officials are interested in turning to him. But the premise must be decided by yourself, otherwise you will not have the power or give it a name. Who will still be with you? Of course, except for the "fool" standing behind him. The reason why Zhang Shijie can control power is also said that with the support of the empress dowager, even if it is just nominal support, he can control power legitimately and suppress dissidents.
