Bianliang Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.
At this time, the imperial study has been cleaned by the palace maid and the eunuch, Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, Zhao Xu, Liu Changzuo, Chongshi Dao, and Zhang Dunli sat on both sides, Zhao Ji said to a few people: "A few Aiqing, you have also seen the arrogance of King Chang above the court just now, if King Chang has the talent, it is not impossible for me to hand over this Great Song Dynasty to him, but you look at him like that, now that the Liao army has not yet come over, he thinks about the peace of the Liao State, which is really insulting to the ancestors and ancestors.
I came to you today to see what you could do to clean up these moths. ” Everyone, look at me, I see that you didn't say anything, after all, this can offend a prince, and it is a prince who leans towards the government and the opposition, but there is one person who is not afraid, that is Zhao Xu, the king of Cao, Zhao Yan said: "Your Majesty, now that the internal and external troubles are being struck, the younger brother thinks that the external troubles should be solved first, and Your Majesty can also take advantage of this battle to re-establish his prestige and regain military power." ” "His Royal Highness King Cao is reasonable, and Weichen reconsiders," said the seed master.
"All ministers are reconsidered" "Okay, I will issue an edict in the court tomorrow, announce the war against Liao, and appoint Zhao Yu, the king of Cao, as the commander of the army, and you and you will serve as the deputy commander, and I must win this battle, otherwise I will not have the face to sit on this throne again."
"Your Majesty, my brother has another suggestion."
"If King Cao has anything to say, just say it."
"The younger brother thinks that Wang Anshi should be recalled."
Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Ji and said.
Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for him, why did I fall into today's situation." ” "Your Majesty, although Wang Anshi can't lead the troops to fight, but he is a good hand at financial management, and now I need to pay compensation and coins to Daxia, and I also need to re-form the army, which has to fight with the Liao State, each of which requires a large amount of silver, and the courtiers think that Wang Anshi can be directly responsible to His Majesty for the crime of being in charge of the household department, so that the financial power can also be taken back from the hands of King Chang, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone."
Zhao Ji thought about it for a while and said: "Okay, then I will send someone to find Wang Anshi back, and let him make meritorious contributions."
Chang Wangfu, Zhao Hao found a group of his own henchmen, the most important of which is now Sima Guang who is now the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Sima Guang was able to walk with King Chang, completely for political reasons, the two belong to the interdependent relationship, Sima Guang is a firm opponent of Wang Anshi's change of law, and now the Great Song Dynasty can basically be divided into two factions, one is the change of law led by Wang Anshi, and the other is the conservative led by Sima Guang.
Now the conservatives in the Great Song Dynasty have the upper hand again, and a large number of reformers have been expelled from the court, the reason why King Chang was able to grasp the power of the Great Song Dynasty so smoothly has a lot to do with the support of the conservatives, and the support for the conservatives is the Empress Dowager Gao, who is behind the scenes, and the initial reason for the Empress Dowager Gao's support for the conservatives is to help King Cao Zhao Yan, but I didn't expect Zhao Yu to show no interest in the throne.
In the study room of King Chang's mansion.
Zhao Hao asked Sima Guang: "Lord Sima, what do you think of today's court affairs?"
"Now that the prince has monopolized the power, His Majesty has basically been hollowed out by the prince, but the prince must also understand that His Majesty is also His Majesty no matter what, that is the king, and even if the prince has the right again, he is also a minister, and there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and please don't forget your identity."
Sima Guang's tone smacked of warning.
"What does Master Sima mean by this, why can't this king understand it," Zhao Hao said with a sneer.
"The prince understands what the official means, and some words don't need to be said so clearly; The relationship between the official and the prince is only a cooperative relationship, and the prince had better not think about anything wrong, and the official has resigned.
Sima Guang stood up and saluted.
Sima Guang's words are enough to represent the conservatives, it is obvious that today's affairs in the court, Zhao Hao has dispatched the bottom line of the conservatives, although the conservatives oppose Zhao Hao's implementation of the new law change, but they are not disloyal to Zhao Hao, and at present, the relationship between Zhao Hao and the conservatives led by Sima Guang is only cooperative, and Zhao Hao does not fully grasp the conservatives.
"This Sima Guang is shameless."
After Sima Guang left, Zhao Hao scolded angrily.
"Lord Wang, now is not the time for you to tear your face with Sima Guang, Sima Guang has a huge influence in the central and local areas, Lord Wang, you still need his support."
Sun Changling said; Sun Changling is also a member of the conservative faction, and was exiled together with Cheng Lu Gongshu in the imperial history, although they are all conservatives, but Sun Changling is not Sima Guang's person, because he was helped by Zhao Hao, the king of Chang, during the release period, so Sun Changling has completely fallen to Zhao Hao.
"Then you say, what should this king do now," Zhao Hao said; "This king and His Majesty are now riding a tiger, even if this king gives up everything now, His Majesty will not let this king go."
"Lord Wang, the most important thing now is that you have to seize the military power and financial power, as long as you grasp these two things, and then slowly replace those who oppose the prince in the court, and the prince can also find foreign aid," Sun Changling said to Zhao Hao.
Although Sun Changling is giving Zhao Hao an idea, he is also finding a way for himself, after all, now the two of them are in the same boat, if Zhao Hao is finished, Sun Changling will also be finished, and Zhao Hao will be even more miserable in the end, after all, Zhao Hao and Zhao Hao are brothers, and broken bones are still connected to tendons The next morning, in the Chongzheng Palace.
Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair and said to the ministers: "I have decided to use troops against the Liao State, this battle is related to the dignity of my Great Song Dynasty, this battle must be won, if I know who is pulling the hind legs behind my back, I will definitely not spare him." ” "Ministers obey Your Majesty's Shengyu" "King Cao Zhao listens to the order" "Brother is here" "Crowned King Cao Zhao as King Zhao, the Daimyo Mansion stayed behind, conquered the general of the Northern Great, and commanded the whole army north to resist Liao for me, and the soldiers and horses everywhere in the world were transferred by King Zhao at will, and he admired this."
Zhao Ji made an order.
Even Zhao Yan didn't expect that Zhao Ji would give himself such a high position, and he was promoted to King Zhao; Zhao Yan hurriedly took the holy decree and said: "Brother of the courtiers, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ” "Let's go flat" After Zhao Yan got up, he said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, my brother has a reluctant request. ” "If King Zhao has anything to say, just say it."
"Your Majesty, now the most combat-effective soldiers in my Great Song Dynasty are the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and Wechen asks for orders to hand over all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to the commander of Wechen, and allows Wechen to recruit hardcover warriors in various armies to form a new army, so as to be able to resist the Liao thieves."
"King Zhao is reasonable, so do what King Zhao says."
"Your Majesty" "Liu Changzuo, Seed Master Dao, and Zhang Dunli listened to the order."
"Wechen is in" "Order Liu Changzuo to be the deputy marshal, the seed master Dao to be the vanguard, and Zhang Dunli to be the Sima of the army, the three of you must be good to assist King Zhao, and I am waiting for you here to triumph."
"Ministers obey Your Majesty's Shengyu" "Another order Li Xian is the supervisor of the army, and he will go to the front line to supervise the battle on my behalf."
"Minion Command."
After arranging all this, Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Hao, the king of Chang, and smiled, Zhao Ji sent out several important ministers who were loyal to him, it seems that Zhao Ji is already isolated in the court, but in fact, as long as Zhao Hao has this army outside, Zhao Hao will not dare to act rashly.
Ask for support, ask for recommendation votes, all kinds of requests:
