Chapter 111: Lu Huiqing

Shi Deyi's actions were quick, and not long after, a thick jade book was sent to Zhao Xu.

"Brother Six, take a closer look..."

"This is the roster of envoys and appeasement envoys from all directions in the world today..."

"He is also the emperor of Daxing, and he left it to the important ministers of the sixth brother!"

Zhao Xu nodded and opened the jade book.

First page, number one, number one.

Bachelor of Zizhengdian, envoy of Hedong Jinglue, know Taiyuan Mansion: Lu Huiqing.

Zhao Xu frowned slightly, he knew that no one would want Lu Huiqing to go to Xihe.

Because there is no difference between letting Lu Huiqing go to Xihe and inviting Lu Huiqing to three provinces and two governments-with the talents, skills and prestige of this former Song Dynasty ruler and border commander.

He was in Xihe, even if Aligu had one hand, he could hang the opponent up and beat him.

Maybe in a year or so, he will be able to expand the land again like Wang Shao did back then.

Even, it is very possible to attack the hinterland of the West Thieves from the flanks, in case there is a big victory.

Then no one can stop this Fujianese from returning to Beijing!
Whether it is a new party or an old party.

No one wants Lu Huiqing to return to court!

It is a fact recognized by the whole world: Except for Wang Anshi and Wang Jiefu, Lu Huiqing is not convinced by anyone, and no one can suppress him.

This man is too capable, and his character is extremely strong.

When he was in power, Wang Anshi had already resigned.

Therefore, without Wang Anshi's suppression, he was like a wild horse running wild, even Zhao Xu's father couldn't pull him back if he wanted to.

So, he made a big deal.

Practical method!
It directly challenges the entire ruling class, and also directly wages war with the upper and lower interest groups.

Everyone in the new party was terrified by him!

why?
Because of the so-called practical method, although it was indeed implemented in some places in the Song Dynasty in the past, it has achieved good results.

But this thing is challenging the censorship method that has been implemented for 1000 years since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The so-called inspection is a system in which the local gentry and the government work together to assess the wealth of the people's land and determine the household registration level.

However, after Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty, Jiankuo Zaohu had actually been transcribed and reported by the village's "elderly big households" one by one.

That is to say, the property and household of most farmers are actually determined by these people.

If you say you are a top-notch household, you better really be a top-notch household.

Otherwise, it will only happen overnight.

Situation households rely on this to have great prestige in the countryside!

Lu Huiqing wants to bypass this system that has been implemented for 1000 years, and wants to challenge the privileges of rural households after Emperor Taizong!

He wants the people to declare their own land and property.

The most terrible thing is - he allows other people to report the person who concealed property, and also issued a regulation that as long as it is verified, one-third of the confiscated property will be confiscated and rewarded to the whistleblower.

Isn't this a replica of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's warning order?
The world is in turmoil!

Naturally, Lu Huiqing's tricks encountered unprecedented resistance and could not be pushed at all.

So after Wang Anshi returned to the court, he himself felt bored and took the initiative to invite the county.

Unexpectedly, this inadvertently made him start his brand new talent tree: Bian Shuai!

As we all know, the scholar-bureaucrats and literati of the Song Dynasty were indeed not very talented in such things as leading troops to fight.

Only a few special cases like Fan Zhongyan and Wang Shao can be regarded as truly knowledgeable about soldiers and wars.

And Lu Huiqing's commanding ability and combat ability are so high that he hardly looks like a scholar-bureaucrat!
In Zhao Xu's previous life, he re-appointed Lu Huiqing as the envoy of Fuyan Road.

An army of 50 thieves besieged Fuyan Road, but Lu Huiqing beat him back!

It was precisely because the main force of the western thieves was attracted to Fuyan Road by Lu Huiqing that the main force of the Song Dynasty on Jingyuan Road and Xihe Road directly had fun.

The fuse of the two battles of Pingxia City was ignited by Lu Huiqing himself.

At that time, Lu Huiqing was already old, in her sixties.

The current Lu Huiqing will be in her early fifties.

If he gets military merit or wins an unprecedented victory...

The governors of the three provinces and two prefectures have nightmares when they sleep at night.

Especially Han Jiang, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and others who have experienced the power of Lu Huiqing...

However, Zhao Xu still pretended to ask.

"Mother's queen..." He pointed to Lu Huiqing's name on the jade booklet and asked, "Who is this minister?"

Empress Dowager Xiang was taken aback.

Lu Huiqing? !

Even in the palace, she knew that the Xianggong from Fujian was a copy of Mr. Yan Xianggong——no, although Xianggong Yan was stubborn, he was not as cruel as this man!

It is called Da Song Sang Hongyang!
It is said that most of the reform regulations in Xining were led by Lu Huiqing rather than Wang Anshi.

"Sixth brother, let's not talk about this minister..."

"Look at the others..."

Zhao Xu looked at the empress dowager's face, and thought of the few encounters he had with Lu Huiqing in his previous life.

That is indeed a character that makes people's backs shudder!

Strong!fierce!sharp!

Even in front of the king, you can always feel that it is not a person, but a sharp sword standing in the court hall that has been unsheathed!

You know, Lu Huiqing was already in her sixties at that time.

But he is still like a sharp sword, making people restless.

Even Zhang Dun was extremely afraid of Lu Huiqing.

As soon as Zhao Xu mentioned that Lu Huiqing should enter the court, Zhang Dun immediately shook his head like a rattle.

So, Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Okay..."

……

When Zhao Xu was in Kunning Hall, looking at Lu Huiqing's name on the jade book.

Beyond the far east of the river.

Horseshoes are restless, and people and horses gather together.

Everything on the battlefield has calmed down.

Only the corpses of the thieves and the captives who were chased together by the cavalry remained.

Lu Huiqing rode his horse and walked on the battlefield. Although he was not wearing armor, wherever he passed, whether it was the Song general or the captured Xi thief general, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look up at him.

"Mr. Jinglue!" Behind Lu Huiqing, he followed closely behind his report and said: "This time, our army has obeyed the military order of Mr. Xiang. Since Gengchen (the 38th) sent troops, we have wiped out all the western thieves at the border with us. Located in six army camps in eighty miles, beheaded sixteen generals, seized thirty-eight seals, beheaded six hundred, captured thousands of prisoners, destroyed more than a thousand acres of western thieves' fields, burned more than ten granaries, obtained thousands of grain and grass, oxen and horses... ..."

"Good!" Lu Huiqing turned her head and nodded appreciatively: "In this way, we can withdraw our troops and return to the camp, and report victory to Bianjing!"

Since taking office in Hedong, Lu Huiqing has led troops every year in spring and autumn to mobilize troops to sweep up the bandits' stronghold near Hedong Road.

This is the method that Lu Huiqing learned from the northern captives.

Beilu is called Dacaogu, while Lu Huiqing is called "Jiaogeng".

The purpose is to force, and the western thief chooses between transporting food from the rear and retreating.

No matter how you choose, Lu Huiqing will win.

Since Lu Huiqing proposed the strategy of disturbing the farming, he has been greatly appreciated by the Emperor Daxing, and he clearly issued a decree to reward it.

This stimulated Lu Huiqing's belligerence even more.

From then on, every spring and autumn, troops will be sent out to mop up.

The thief's revenge happened to fall into his scheme.

There were fewer people coming, so Lu Huiqing set up a pocket formation, and then mobilized the troops from Hedong and Yanyan Road to eat the snacks delivered to the door.

There are a lot of thieves coming, such as 20 or [-].

Then he will fortify the wall and clear the field!
Let the army of western thieves either go to grab the food of the Hengshan Dangxiang and the Qiang people-this will force the Hengshan Dangxiang and the Qiang people to defect to the Song Dynasty.

Either go to Yanzhou and Lingzhou in the rear to transport grain up.

However, even if the western thieves scoured all the grain in the country to transport grain across the vast sea, how much could they bring up?

In this way, the army of bandits had to retreat when they ran out of food.

As soon as he withdrew, Lu Huiqing chased him by the tail.

Lu Huiqing is not greedy, just eat a few thousand at a time.

It is consumption!
Anyway, behind Lu Huiqing is Hedong, and the grain on Hedong Road has piled up like a mountain.

Recently, the imperial court even issued an edict to send the war horse bought back by Jingdong Road Ma Baojia to him.

Lu Huiqing felt that this was the court's encouragement - hurry up!

So, he sent troops again.

Just ...

Looking back in the direction of Bianjing, Lu Huiqing didn't know when he would be able to enter the three provinces and two governments again.

……

Zhao Xu continued to flip through the jade book.

The names of handsome ministers came into view.

While watching, he asked the queen mother about the resumes and past of these ministers.

At the same time, he also observed the Queen Mother's attitude towards these people.

As for the Empress Dowager Xiang, who has just been in charge of politics, she doesn't know much about these people, so she can only introduce who this person is according to the text on the jade book and Zhao Xu.What year was the Jinshi?What did you do again?
So, unknowingly, in the process of explaining to the Empress Dowager, she had an impression of the names of these people.

This made the queen mother quite proud.

And Zhao Xu was just asking, and didn't directly express his attitude toward someone.

The mother and son watched and talked at the same time, and soon it was noon.

Zhao Xu accompanied the Queen Mother, had lunch, and began to take a nap on the bed in Kunning Hall.

When he woke up, he saw the Empress Dowager Xiang sitting in front of him with a sullen look on her face.

"Queen, what's the matter?" Zhao Xu asked curiously.

Xiang Empress forced a smile: "Nothing..."

When Zhao Xu saw it, how could he believe it?Immediately asked Shi Deyi outside the curtain: "Shi Deyi, what happened?"

"Who made the empress unhappy?"

Shi De bowed his body and replied: "I dare not say..."

Oh!
Zhao Xu understands, it's either Baoci Palace or the Zai Zhi in the capital hall!
First of all, the Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace can be ruled out, because that Empress Dowager has a very good relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiang now.

Even if there was occasional friction, it would not be so troublesome as to empress dowager Xiang sulking in Kunning Palace.

"But there are ministers who make the queen mother unhappy?"

"Son, tell someone to arrest him and let Yushi have a good trial!" Zhao Xu immediately said angrily.

Empress Dowager Xiang immediately grabbed Zhao Xu's hand and said, "Brother Six, Empress Mother is fine..."

"It's just that Sima Gong said bluntly, which made the queen mother reflect on herself... Did she really do something wrong?"

"It's better than..."

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Sixth brother issued an edict to take back the beauty officer bestowed on Xiang Zonghui...Anyway, he didn't take office on Xihe Road..."

Zhao Xu's eyes widened.

Sima Guang?
He actually wrote a letter to discuss Xiang Zonghui, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager?

Is he crazy! ?
And since he talked about Xiang Zonghui, how could he let Gao Gongji go?
So, this Sima Niu is really Sima Niu!
　Note: The continuation of Zizhi Tongjian's long record, April Gengchen, Zhi Taiyuan Prefecture Lu Huiqing sent troops to the western border, broke six villages, beheaded [-], obtained [-] bronze seals, and tens of thousands of camels, cattle and horses.
