I am Da Song

Chapter 149 Candidates for Xuanfu Shaanxi

This discussion filled Zhao Huan with relief.

I am the country.Under the influence of the emperor Zhao Huan, Song Dynasty changed from strategic summation to strategic intimidation.

Xinchaoting even had such a sharp temperament.

The plan of intimidation put forward by Qin Hui and Li Gang is quite feasible in Zhao Huan's view.

It may be hard for Xixia to believe that the Great Song Dynasty beheaded more than [-] people, but Wanyan Yinshu's head can't be faked.

Besides, the Jinren's defeat was too tragic, and it was difficult to completely cover up an event with such a big impact.

As long as the news reaches Xixia, it will inevitably cause panic in Xixia.

Coupled with the terrifying impression left on Xixia by Huizong's reign and the crisis of national subjugation and genocide, they are likely to surrender directly.

Zhao Huan knew the situation of Shenwu Youjun, but Xixia didn't.

Looking at it from their perspective, it is actually very scary.A powerful army that is unparalleled in the world may go to the Hengshan battlefield at any time, whether it arrives this year or next year, it doesn't make much difference to Xixia.

Because as long as the two sides fail to negotiate peace, Xixia is destined to face this powerful army, and even Li Qianshun may be beheaded like Wanyan Yinshuke.What's the point of carrying on for another year?
For the Song Dynasty, whether Xixia surrendered was just a matter of face, and it was only a matter of time to solve Shaanxi.

But for Xixia, this is a matter of life and death.

Zhao Huan felt that Li Qianshun was very likely to change Sima again and change his name to Sima Qianshun.

However, as a major political event, one cannot hope that the opponent will make mistakes. Regardless of whether Xixia returns the land or not, the Song Dynasty must reorganize the situation in Shaanxi.

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang and said, "As for the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, can someone from the imperial court recommend it?"

Li Gang was full of confidence in the candidate he proposed, and said with a smile: "The minister recommends Li Guang, the censor. Li Guang is popular, talented and knowledgeable, and he is famous; in terms of family background, he is loyal not to bully his integrity. Propagating Shaanxi is enough for Esau Domineering for a while, all shake the sound."

Speaking of "birth matter", Li Gang deliberately emphasized his tone.

Only then did Zhao Huan remember who this Li Guang was.

Although Li Guang and Li Gang have similar names, they have nothing to do with each other.The only connection is that both of them are the four founding ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, of which Li Guang is the head of the four ministers.

But speaking of it, Li Guang's censor was promoted by Zhao Huan's predecessor.When the Jin people invaded, Li Guang, who served as the right commander, tried to force Chen Huizong to fail to gather people's hearts.In today's matter, if it is not the crown prince, the country is in danger.

At that time, no one dared to object, so Huizong abdicated the throne to Zhao Huan.

It can be said that when Zhao Huan ascended the throne, Li Guang was the number one hero.

Now that Zhao Huan has firmly secured the throne, he should reciprocate and give Li Guang a promotion.

But before Zhao Huan opened his mouth, Sun Fu, Prime Minister of the Right, said first: "I object! I firmly oppose! I heard that Li Guang learned from Liu Anshi, a member of the Yuanyou party. He Dexing, a member of the Yuanyou party, is well known in the government and the public. I fear Li Guangxuan Fu Shanxi, with a wave of his hand, he will donate these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to Xixia."

This is purely unreasonable.Now that the authority of the imperial court is in full swing, how dare he, a small Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Province, disregard government orders and cede thousands of miles of land in private?

Seeing that he failed to convince the officials, Sun Fu continued, "Think twice, the officials. Liu Anshi studied under Sima Guang, and Li Guang is in the same line as Sima Guang. If he were to preach and appease Shaanxi, it would frighten the hearts of the soldiers and people in Shaanxi."

It is hard to say whether Li Guang's taking office will chill the hearts of the military and civilians in Shaanxi, but his right minister will inevitably be bruised and bruised.

Central officials, officers and men are rewarded, and he wants to intervene in the political affairs hall.Local officials and civil servants are transferred, and he has to intervene in the political affairs hall.

What kind of power, they have occupied it, so what is the status of Shangshu Province?

The emperor of the Central Plains did not talk about it, and Zhao Huan also hoped that the prime ministers would cooperate with him in reforming the government, and he didn't want to make too much trouble with them, so he asked: "Then, who can recommend the minister?"

The Prime Minister on the right, Sun Fu, immediately smiled and said, "I recommend Zhang Jun, the master of Taichang Temple. Zhang Jun is a descendant of Zhang Liang who stayed in the early Han Dynasty. He is a descendant of Zhang Jiuling, a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone in the world says that he will become a great weapon in the future. He is generous and generous, and he works hard for the royal family."

Zhao Huan didn't open his mouth, but Li Gang looked angry.

What a hardworking royal family, what generosity, what will become a great weapon!
These are all excuses, all crown words.

In the final analysis, Zhang Jun was launched by Shang Shusheng to disgust him.

Because the last time I fell, I was impeached by Zhang Jun.The first time the Jin invaded, he supported Yao Pingzhong to rob the second prince's camp and was defeated, so he was impeached by Zhang Jun in the name of dictatorship.

But unlike Li Gang's angry face, Zhao Huan was quite moved by this proposal.

Zhang Jun is a famous minister in history. In history, he promoted Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he did a very good job.In a situation where the building was about to collapse and the army was defeated like a mountain, the situation was quickly stabilized, and hundreds of thousands of troops were formed to fight against the Kingdom of Jin again and again, and the Northern Expedition again and again.

He organized the most famous defeats between Song and Jin, the Battle of Fuping and the Battle of Fuli.

To sum up, he is a capable minister of internal affairs, otherwise he would not be able to organize an army of 10,000+ or ​​10,000+ to fight against the Kingdom of Jin again and again.

But in terms of war, he and Zhao Kuo are just about the same.No matter how much you usually boast, you will be defeated in a decisive battle.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty had a solid foundation, and it was replaced by the Shuhan, who was defeated again and again like him, and he was already devastated.

It can be said that he is a weakened version of Marquis Wu.Marquis Wu is all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, while Zhang Jun can only be regarded as a virtuous talent in internal affairs and a waste in military affairs.

But obviously, the imperial court does not need him to lead the army to a decisive battle with the Jin people.This should be the responsibility of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Li Yanxian.

If you put aside his weakness of not knowing the military, Zhang Jun is still very suitable to appease Shaanxi and reorganize the situation.

Whether to use Li Guang or Zhang Jun is entirely in Zhao Huan's mind.

The prime ministers fight evenly, and the emperor can control the overall situation in the middle.

Zhao Huan was very satisfied with the current situation. Although he suppressed Shang Shusheng, he didn't want the two prime ministers to lose their fighting spirit, so he made a decision and said with a smile: "Since Li Guang is not suitable to appease Shaanxi, let Zhang Jun be the governor of Shaanxi. Xuanfu envoy."

At the same time, in order to appease Li Gang, Zhao Huan ordered: "Let Li Guangxuan comfort Sichuan."

Now the Xuanfu Envoy of the Great Song Dynasty has only a false name left. After all, the imperial court is beyond the reach of the territory thousands of miles away.Coupled with the rebellion of scholar-bureaucrats, how much power this Xuanfu envoy can have depends entirely on personal ability.

Especially in Sichuan, Zhao Huan was really helpless and could only watch Li Guanggu take office.

But in Shaanxi, Zhao Huan can still provide a helping hand.

After the meeting with civil servants and prime ministers, Zhao Huan met with another high-profile military general—the commander of Shenwu Zuojun, Li Yanxian, the famous general of Song Dynasty who once severely injured Wanyan Loushi, the god of war in the Kingdom of Jin.
