Chapter 92 The Empress Dowager Assassination

Chapter 92 The Queen Mother was assassinated

As he said that, he looked at Chen Jianghan, "Shangshu Chen, it should be more than enough to recycle the land sold in Leizhou that our dynasty brought from Lin'an?"

Chen Jianghan blinked his eyes and wiped the sweat that instantly came out of his forehead, "Some, some."

But he really wanted to say that if Zhao Dong [Tianlai Novel      www.23txt.xyz] continues to lose like this, no matter how many jewelry you have, it will be used up sooner or later, but I just don’t dare to say it.

At this time, the Deputy State Councilor Chen Wenlong came out and said, "Emperor, what should I do if there are nobles and gentry causing trouble?"

"make trouble?"

Zhao Dongting said: "If they make trouble, then they will investigate and arrest them. My tens of thousands of soldiers are not just for nothing. Those nobles and gentry who are unruly can confiscate their property to serve as the national treasury. I don't believe that they just buy back their property, and they can still share their lives with each other."

When the ministers in the hall heard this, they felt a little anxious. The emperor was afraid that the holy intention had been settled.

But they were really a little moved. The emperor said rightly, someone rebelled and caused trouble and sent officers and soldiers to suppress them. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers would not be unable to control the Leizhou Prefecture. Of course, because most of them were not from Leizhou, they were not deeply involved in the interests of this matter and would not suffer any damage to the land distribution, so there was no conflict in his heart.

Although Liu Hongyi was the commander of the Flying Army in the past, he had always been righteous and regarded righteousness as more important than life. He did not feel any distressed when the emperor implemented a new policy to take back the land of these people. He was already thinking about how to persuade the commanders who had a lot of land at home next time when he returned to the military camp.

In order to win people's hearts, Ge Lijun did reward a lot of land to civil servants and generals of various levels of Leizhou Prefecture.

Seeing that Chen Wenlong stopped talking, the ministers bowed: "I will follow the holy orders."

Zhao Dongting was satisfied and said, "While the implementation of the land distribution system, it promised that the people would be exempted from tax for two years so that they could have surplus money to farm. In addition, the rest of the taxes can be exempted if they cannot be exempted, and they will have to be greatly adjusted. Our Song Dynasty cannot pay undue taxes. The State Council plans to issue tax reform regulations within five days to submit them to me."

Lu Xiufu bowed again, "I obey the order."

Chen Jianghan was anxious, and sweat came out on his forehead and said, "Master, if it's a tax cut, then I will go to the finances..."

Zhao Dongting gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how difficult it is, we must hold on for the past two years to make the lives of the people better. From now on, the court will reduce all expenses in the palace by half."

The ministers were surprised.

Throughout history, there have been many lewd emperors, but there are definitely only a handful of people who voluntarily spend less money like Zhao Dongting.

Everyone felt admiration for Zhao Dongting and shouted in unison: "The Emperor is wise."

Zhao Dongting was young, knew the general care, understood the people's sentiments, acted decisively, and had many wisdoms, which really made these ministers have great hope for the court.

Two days later, Liu Hongyi led the former Feitian Army soldiers and hundreds of warships from the Nandu River to the Xiliu Ferry to fight against the bandits.

At the same time, Wen Tianxiang also led more than 30,000 soldiers of Xing Guojun, to set out to prepare to rush to Guangxi.

Yuan general Ali Hague was ordered by Kublai Khan to pacify Hunan and Guangxi. To this day, the civil servant Zhou Long, He Shier and others in Tanzhou have been beheaded and even the Hunan commander Zhang Lieliang died in battle. Only a small force is left in Hunan to resist the Yuan army. The Ali Navy vanguard has already arrived in Guangxi. It takes less than a long time to have a great war in Guangxi.

Leizhou is next to Guangxi, and everyone in the court knows that Guangxi must not be lost, otherwise Leizhou will be in danger.

Zhao Dongting's imperial celery personally sent Wen Tianxiang to three miles outside the gate of Haikang County.

The morning breeze is gentle, and the king and his subjects are about to part.

Although Zhao Dongting had known that Wen Tianxiang would leave, he was still reluctant to leave at this time. In history, Wen Tianxiang's results were not good.

He was defeated and captured, and would rather die than surrender, and was eventually killed at the Caishikou execution ground.

When he died, he left a desperate poem on his belt:

Confucius said to be benevolence, and Meng said to be righteous. Only when the righteousness is complete can be benevolence.

What do you learn when reading the books of sages? Now, I will be almost ashamed!

Zhao Dongting was worried that something might happen to Wen Tianxiang. He called Wen Tianxiang from Jiangxi to Leizhou because according to historical books, Wen Tianxiang would be defeated in Jiangxi. Zhao Dongting asked him to lead his army to help, which meant to prevent Ge Lijun, but at the same time he also had the intention to save Wen Tianxiang.

After all, he was afraid that things would develop according to the wheel of history, such as Zhou Long, He Shier, Zhang Lieliang and others who died in battle.

However, at this time, only Wen Tianxiang had the highest prestige among the people in the court and the people. If he was not sent there, no one could organize civil forces to resist the Yuan army.

On the chariot, Zhao Dongting and Wen Tianxiang sat opposite each other.

Zhao Dongting's personal guards and Wen Tianxiang's Xingguo army soldiers had stopped slowly, and were speechless.

The flags fluttered and spread to the distance of the road.

Zhao Dongting looked at Wen Tianxiang with his eyes fixedly, and suddenly said softly: "Mr. Wen is very dangerous when he goes on a war. Yuan general Ali Hague has always been famous for his ability to fight, and has many soldiers and generals. Master Wen has to save his life and return no matter what. There are not many people in my court that can rely on..."

Wen Tianxiang's eyes were a little red, "When I was about to eliminate the Yuan thieves, I would definitely come to serve the emperor again!"

Zhao Dongting raised his wine glass in front of him and said with a forced smile: "Come on, I will practice it for Lord Wen! I wish Lord Wen a victory and a great defeat to Ali Hague."

Wen Tianxiang also picked up the wine glass after hearing this, "I am not afraid of death, but for the emperor and the people of the Song Dynasty, I will definitely defeat Ali Hague. I just hope that the emperor will have more rest in the palace and do not work hard all day long. The emperor is still young, and the burden of resisting the Yuan Dynasty and restoring the Song Dynasty will definitely fall on your shoulders in the future. You must not be exhausted."

"Come!"

Zhao Dongting raised his glass and touched the cup in Wen Tianxiang's hand, "You, I, the king and the minister, I, the inner king and the outer king, and we will fight against the Yuan and restore the Song Dynasty together!"

As he said that, he drank the wine in his glass.

His face turned red and his eyes turned red.

After these days of getting along, Zhao Dongting was also impressed by Wen Tianxiang's righteousness. If it were not forbidden to do so, he really wouldn't want Wen Tianxiang to lead his army to go.

"Prince, take care of yourself!"

Wen Tianxiang put down his wine glass and strode away from the chariot.

"Mr. Wen!"

Zhao Dongting suddenly called him.

Wen Tianxiang turned around.

Zhao Dongting said: "It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, our Song Dynasty still has a chance. You... must save your life and come back."

Wen Tianxiang was stunned, then suddenly fell to the ground, but said, "The emperor's holy grace, I... If I can't win, I'm not willing to die!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the carriage, turned over and rode towards the formation.

Zhao Dongting looked at Wen Tianxiang's departure back and stared blankly.

Wen Tianxiang is too strong and if he is unable to win, he will really not choose to come back alive.
