Qiming 1158

Chapter 890 The state of the Southern Song government switched so quickly that it was astounding

For Shi Hao's statement, Zhao Tan obviously could not agree.

He was very angry.

So as soon as Shi Hao finished speaking, he angrily said, "This is not the forbearance of Goujian, this is the confusion of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty when he killed Chao Cuo! It is a manifestation of weakness and incompetence! If not, how could the Seven Kingdoms dare to attack Chang'an?
Emperor Jing should never compromise!Never compromise with the Seven Nations!Directly send Zhou Yafu to attack the Seven Kingdoms, and you can still win!To this end, I have to take the life of Chao Cuo, which is widely criticized by future generations. How can I become the second Emperor Jing? "

Shi Hao shook his head again and again, obviously disagreeing with Zhao Tan's statement.

"Chao Cuo was sharp-edged, impatient in dealing with things, and killed at every turn, causing public outrage and making the Seven Kingdoms counterattack. At that time, Han Ting thought it was Chao Cuo's fault, because Chao Cuo caused the Seven Kingdoms rebellion, and many people didn't even think that The seven countries are wrong, and they are all condemning Chao Cuo."

Shi Hao said unhurriedly, "Emperor Jing weighed the pros and cons and realized that if he directly sent troops to fight against the Seven Kingdoms at this time, it would be a civil strife, an extension of the power struggle, an internal struggle between the descendants of the Liu family, a policy of cutting vassals and the division of feudalism by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. The differences in policy, Hanting does not account for the righteousness.

Under such circumstances, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms is no longer a rebellion. Hanting and the Seven Kingdoms each occupy one side, and no one can completely overwhelm the other in the name of righteousness. Without the support of everyone, victory cannot be guaranteed.

After Emperor Jing killed Chao Cuo and made a compromise, the army of the Seven Kingdoms had no excuse to advance and should have stopped their troops. However, if the Seven Kingdoms did not stop their troops and continued to attack, the title of [Qingjun’s side] would be completely invalidated, and the ambitions of the wolf were completely exposed. Completely reduced to a rebel army of thieves.

As a result, everyone saw clearly the anti-thief nature of the Seven Kingdoms. From then on, the pacification of the Seven Kingdoms battle was no longer a struggle for power within the Han Dynasty, but a justifiable quelling of the rebellion!It was at this moment that the hearts and minds of the world decided the outcome of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. "

Shi Hao took a step forward and said sternly, "What is more important than one's life in exchange for righteousness and people's hearts? Your Majesty, do you really understand?"

Zhao Tan was stunned for a moment, refuted by Shi Hao, and he was speechless for a while.

"Your Majesty, the importance of people's backing is not clearly written in history books, but people's backs often play a decisive role at the most critical time."

Zhao Tan was speechless again, looked at Shi Hao for a long time, and finally put his head in his hands helplessly.

"Although Deyuan made mistakes, he also worked hard for me and made a lot of contributions. If I kill him, wouldn't it be a wolf-hearted person?"

"Emperor Han Jing may have experienced the same thing as His Majesty at that time, and also had the same emotions as His Majesty, and felt that it was emotionally unreasonable to do so."

Shi Hao said slowly: "But getting rid of Zhang Jun will give the officials no excuse to continue fighting against the imperial court. When the time comes, what His Majesty wants to do, whoever he wants to settle, can be done, as long as His Majesty shows some emotions appropriately. , is enough to turn things around easily.”

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty needs to let the ministers know His Majesty's anger, His Majesty's pain, and knowing that His Majesty was forced to kill Zhang Jun, the ministers are naturally guilty or feel guilty, and they must not dare to embarrass His Majesty in other matters."

Shi Hao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jun alone, and the country of the Great Song Dynasty, which is more important? Your Majesty, at this moment, the bandit army on Jiangnan West Road is raging, and the court must quickly integrate to deal with the bandit army, otherwise Jiangnanxi The road is really bad."

Zhao Tan held his head in his hands and pressed his fingers tightly on his forehead, struggling for a long time.

"Taizu Zuxun did not allow the king to attack scholars and officials..."

"Exactly, Your Majesty can therefore blame the main fault of this matter on those who shouted the loudest. When you deal with them casually, it can be regarded as a breath for Zhang Jun, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

Zhao Tan was speechless.

After a long time, Zhao Tan opened his mouth.

"Teacher, I want to be alone for a while."

"The old minister retire."

Shi Hao left the palace wisely, leaving the space to Zhao Tan.

All that needs to be said, Shi Hao believes that Zhao Tan will make the right choice.

Because his speech is so wonderful.

But this is also Zhao Tan's own stupidity. He just took out the incident of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and Emperor Jing's execution of Chao Cuo to compare it with the current incident. Of course, Shi Hao climbed up the pole and settled the matter.

But Zhao Tan doesn't seem to notice that there is a fundamental difference between these two things.

The courtiers of the Song court could only scoff at their mouths and engage in political offensives. Under the state of civil and military division, Song officials had no ability to resist the central government.

However, those princes and kings of the Han court really had soldiers, money and people. In the era when civil and military were not divided, they really had the strength to replace Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

So how can the two be confused?

However, Shi Hao would never take the initiative to break this point.

Because he hates Zhang Jun, hates Zhang Jun very much, and even hates Zhang Jun.

The emperor I taught by myself, you came out to pick peaches halfway?

Suppressing me, ostracizing me, robbing me of my power, so I have to go back home to write and draw and pretend that I don't care about anything...

How could I not care!That's my job!my status!I got it in exchange for more than 20 years of ups and downs!

What are you Zhang Deyuan?
If I don't send you to the West, I'll take your surname!

Obviously, the calligraphy and painting Xianggong is also angry.

Now this set of rhetoric, Shi Hao believes that Zhang Jun is dead.

After he died, he would undoubtedly be the final victor.

What a wonderful future?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

However, the proud Shi Hao didn't know that Zhao Tan stared at the back of his leaving for a long time, until he saw that he could no longer see it, and there was a stern look in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

The day after the news that Zhao Yucheng led the peasant army to capture Nanchang County, Longxing Prefecture, reached Lin'an, Zhao Tan ordered Zhang Jun to be convicted.

Zhang Jun was executed for the crime of deceiving the king, his family property was seized, and his family was exiled to Leizhou, but he was not pardoned.

Chen Junqing and Wang Shipeng, who wrote to argue for Zhang Jun, were demoted to Lingnan and expelled from the imperial court.

Hu Quan, who wrote a letter to try to guarantee Zhang Jun's life, was reprimanded again and was sent to Anqing Mansion on Huainan West Road as the prefect of Anqing Mansion.

Zuo Pushe Chen Kangbo, a minister who wrote that Zhang Jun's crime would not die, was reprimanded and demoted to the prefect of Luzhou.

Wang Dabao, the Minister of Rites who wrote to speak for Zhang Jun, was also reprimanded and was sent to Hezhou in Jiangbei to serve as the prefect of Hezhou.

The original main war faction with Zhang Jun at the core is now the radical faction, which has been hit hard.

The original owner and the current conservative forces have been boosted to a certain extent.

Mainly, many of the former radical officials felt that radicalism was not acceptable after seeing Zhang Jun's mess, so they changed their positions and supported conservatives.

At the same time that the conservatives got another chance to stand out in the Song court, the unspoken political rule of the Song generation not to kill scholar-officials came to an end. When the wishes of the conservatives were fulfilled, they also felt an inexplicable coldness.

Zhao Tan didn't care about the coldness in their hearts.

He ordered the appointment of Shangshu Right Pushe Shi Hao to be transferred to the Privy Council, responsible for the military affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty as a well-known moderate faction, and changed the military strategy of the Southern Song Dynasty from active and aggressive to stable and conservative.

Chen Lianghan, the former Zhang Junmen who had been silent throughout the incident, served as his deputy.

Some of the officials in the Privy Council who were personally promoted by Zhang Jun were reprimanded and lost their positions. They were either marginalized or left the central government for local positions.

A group of conservative officials previously ostracized by Zhang Jun made a comeback and assumed the main powers of the Privy Council.

Everything seems to have returned to the state before Zhao Tan took the throne.

The speed with which the state of the Southern Song government changed is astounding.

As for the two crucial positions of power, Shang Shu left and right, they were targeted by conservatives.

They wrote letters to hope that the emperor would recall Tang Situ and Shen Gai, let them serve as ministers again, correct the path of the Song Dynasty, and stop taking such a dangerous path.

What Da Song needs is someone who is mature and prudent, not someone who is impatient.

After hesitating for a few days, Zhao Tan did not agree to these people's requests. Instead, he recalled Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi, who had been in charge of the Privy Council, to the court.

Zhao Tan's reason is that the Song Dynasty needs to concentrate on coping with civil strife for a period of time in the future. The two have relevant experience and can cooperate well with Shi Hao and Chen Lianghan.

Moreover, these two people also have the experience of directly dealing with the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they have a relatively more understanding of the Ming Dynasty, so that it is more secure for them to govern.

As for Tang Situi and Shen Gai, Zhao Tan really didn't like them, but in order to make things right, Zhao Tan ordered Tang Situi to be transferred to be the prefect of Yanzhou, and Shen Gai to be the prefect of Huizhou. a political gesture.

The revelation of this political gesture made conservative ministers ecstatic, and they all felt that the good times were coming back, and the end of the radicals was coming.

But then, Zhao Tan gave orders to the entire court.

Zhang Jun has already been killed according to your wishes, and the arrangement of official positions has basically conformed to your ideas. Then you should be able to do things honestly, right?
If the bandits on Jiangnan West Road cannot be quelled within this year, and if peace in the Song Dynasty cannot be restored, then it is my own business to whom I will ask the guilt.

The thieves have already breached the Longxing House, and the Jiangnan West Road is at stake. If you can't work together with sincerity, don't blame me for being ruthless.
