Qiming 1158

Chapter 720 I've been burying my head for ten years and meeting Ming Guo
Zhao Tan understood what Shi Hao meant.

Taking advantage of Zhao Gou's absence, he can go around, engage in the imperial court, and engage in the army, but he must have a degree and keep the most basic security bottom line for Zhao Gou.

This bottom line is Yang Cunzhong.

As Zhao Gou's absolute confidant, Yang Cunzhong continued to exist in the Sanya Forbidden Army system and mastered an army, which was of great significance to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gan's throne was ceded by Zhao Gou. If he directly seized all the power while Zhao Gou was away, he would not leave Zhao Gou at all. Although Zhao Gou wouldn't say anything, it might affect Zhao Gan's reputation. , to bring him the evaluation of [unfilial].

That hit Zhao Tan a little too hard.

Even Zhao Gou may use not returning to Lin'an as a bargaining chip to coerce Zhao Tan to do something he doesn't want to do. At that time, Zhao Tan will lose the initiative and it will be difficult to accomplish things.

This is the so-called cannibalism and short-handedness. As a superficial relative who has no direct or indirect blood relationship with Zhao Gou, Zhao Tan still has congenital deficiencies.

Therefore, the troop of the front office must be handed over to Yang Cunzhong as the source of Zhao Gou's sense of security.

As for the other two troops, the Majun Division of the Guards and the Division of the Infantry Division of the Guards, Zhao Tan could re-recruit troops and reorganize them for training. Of course, the soldiers who were trained in this way were his own soldiers. Listen to his words.

With Yang Cunzhong and the army in front of the hall as the bottom line of safety, Zhao Gou will most likely not interfere with Zhao Tan's direct control of the guard Ma Junsi and the guard infantry division, and will allow him to develop his own strength.

With such a set of procedures, within two or three years, Zhao Tan will be able to have the dignity of a real emperor, and he will have the foundation of his shame—the military foundation and the political foundation.

The three commanding armies and the two imperial armies directly obeyed his command. At that time, even if Zhao Gouxiang wanted to do what some villains wanted to do, they would not be able to stop Zhao Tan.

He has his own base plate.

After hearing Shi Hao's overall plan, Zhao Tan was overjoyed and thanked Shi Hao for his plan.

Shi Hao finally set a humiliating goal for Zhao Tan, hoping that Zhao Tan could [put his head down for ten years, and meet the Ming Kingdom], [to endure the humiliation for ten years, and raise his eyebrows for another day].

Although Zhao Tan feels that ten years is a bit long, but now is not the time to argue about this, he is eager to find a feasible strategy to shame, so he expressed his willingness to accept this plan.

Even in order to express his determination, he hung a gall over his bed to follow Goujian's example.

Of course, the salary is a bit awkward.

Zhao Tan likes soft beds rather than hard beds.

For the first few days, he forced himself to sleep on a wooden bed to sharpen his mind, but after a few days of sleep, he couldn't sleep well, not to mention back pain, and even tossed out dark circles under his eyes. So he changed the hard bed back to the soft bed.

The bitter gall was hanging on his bed all the time, every morning he got up and licked it, tasting the bitter taste to remind himself not to forget the shame that Ming Guo forced on him.

He really did this for the first few days, reflecting on himself with a mouth full of bitterness, making plans with Shi Hao, imagining how to implement the plan in the future and how to solve the problems that lie ahead.

But after tasting the bitter gall a few times, he felt that the bitter gall was really bitter to his heart, and it was really uncomfortable, so Zhao Kan felt that he would have to taste the bitter taste, and the bitterness at that time could remind himself that there was no need to continue suffering.

Thinking of this, he quickly persuaded himself, and then asked the eunuch around him to prepare caramel candy. After tasting the bitter gall, he quickly rinsed his mouth, and then put a piece of caramel candy in his mouth.

This is the so-called bittersweet.

After the shameful plan was drawn up, Zhao Tan had the goal and hope to fight again, and he rose up again, not as slumped as some courtiers thought.

He very bravely resumed administration after seven days, resumed his own administration, and fulfilled his responsibilities as the emperor.

Zhao Tan was still determined.

He not only recalled Zhang Jun, but also recalled the ministers of the main war faction who had been rejected by Zhao Gou, Tang Situi and others before.

He recalled Wang Dabao, Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng, Wang Yingchen, Chen Lianghan and other officials from the main war faction of Zhang Jun's faction.

In the previous turmoil, a group of people who advocated surrender and had a loud voice were retaliated by Zhao Tan.

Those ministers who conspired with Zhao Tie's envoy Zhao Wanshi were also transferred from his posts, from Lin'an and even to the Lingnan area.

Zhao Tieshi and Zhao Wanshi were also replaced by him, and they have lived under Zhao Tan's strict surveillance since then.

A political storm that was not considered a political storm began in Zhao Tan's calm personnel actions.

From the end of May to the beginning of June, Zhao Yun dismissed a total of 23 officials from their positions, reduced the positions of 27 officials, and transferred [-] officials from Lin'an, and expelled them to the difficult places in Lingnan to serve as county magistrates and other official positions. Same exile.

The positions they vacated were all used by Zhao Tan to accommodate the officials of the main war faction.

There was no shortage of high-ranking officials among the dismissed officials.

For example, Tang Situi was dismissed, and he was impeached after he helped the Ming army complete the mission to cede territory and return to China.

Zhao Tan saw that Tang Situi was not pleasing to the eye, and felt that although Tang Situi did not have contact with Zhao Tie envoy Zhao Yanzhi, he was a pure advocate of peace. He was righteous when it comes to negotiating peace, and when it comes to resistance, he is like dementia. use?

How could the Prime Minister of the Empire allow such a person to serve?
Some officials newly promoted by Zhao Tan understood what Zhao Tan meant, and never mentioned Tang Situi's contributions in this war, but criticized some of Tang Situi's seemingly vague things in the past, and criticized him. Dayton attack.

Inexplicably, Tang Situi became the target of public criticism. Before he could fight back, he got the emperor's edict, gave him a decent name, and a slack who promoted Taoist temples, and let him go home to retire.

Tang Si's ominous premonition before he retreated to the north actually came true, and he really became the first one among the high officials and dignitaries to be eliminated.

Although it is said that there is one emperor and one courtier, Zhao Tan's actions are a bit too fast.

After Tang Situi, it was Shen Gai. Shen Gai and Tang Situi didn't say they were wearing a pair of trousers, but they were sleeping on a quilt. The two had the same mind, and in Zhao Tan's eyes, they were embarrassed.

When Lin'an was in danger, the two of them didn't contribute anything, they just pretended to be dumb and didn't do anything. Shi Hao was the only one who supported the situation.

What do you want?
So Shen Gai was also impeached. He also said that he had a problem with his life style. He took a 16-year-old concubine for a long time.

This is purely a matter of seeking revenge.

But there is no way, it is the emperor who wants to take revenge, the emperor who decides his life and death with one word, what else can Shen Geng do?

So Shen Gai also took a leisurely job to promote Taoist temples and returned to his hometown to retire.

The original interim directors of the Privy Council, Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi, were considered to be mediocre in such a failure, lacking military talent and unworthy of the important positions of the Privy Council, so they were transferred to the local government as local administrative officials, and no longer appeared in the central government.

Their vacant positions were filled by the main war faction officials who had re-entered the Lin'an court.

During this period of time, the officials of the main war faction who had been pushed back to Lin'an one after another were also appointed as high-ranking officials one after another, holding a lot of real power.

For example, Zhang Jun was appointed as a member of the Privy Council and became the military chief of the Song Dynasty.

Hu Quan, a well-known minister of the main war faction, was appointed as a member of the Privy Council of Tongzhi and became a military sub-secretary of the Song Dynasty.

Chen Kangbo was appointed as Shangshu Zuopushe and became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Then Shi Hao was appointed as Minister of the Right Pushe, and became the second prime minister after Chen Kangbo.

Subsequently, Wang Dabao, who was also a minister of the main war faction, was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Lianghan was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Yingchen was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Chen Junqing was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Households.

Of course, Zhao Tan did not forget the three courageous young officials who persisted in resisting at the last moment.

He decided to give them some opportunities to show their talents.

So he transferred all three of Yu Yunwen, Lu You and Han Yuanji to the Privy Council, became the editor of the Privy Council, and participated in the daily affairs of the Privy Council.
