I studied in modern times

Chapter 892: All tribes return to their hearts
In the next two days, Zhao Xu's main job was to meet with the main civil and military officials who returned to Beijing from Xihe one by one.

Sometimes he would have a detailed conversation with him in the east hall of Funing Palace, or he would go fishing and ask him about government affairs by the inner pond.

But basically, civil officials were all in the Funing Hall, while military officials were in the Inner Pond.

Although, the content of the discussion was very different.

They are mainly based on encouragement and motivation, and by the way, they will praise the loyalty and bravery/articles of their father and brother (if any), and then they will make empty promises.

To military generals, he promised, "If you don't let me down, we can share wealth and honor in the future." To civil officials, he praised their political achievements and articles, and then used the bait of ennobling their wives and children and bringing honor to the family.

Of course, it is inevitable to bring in some PAU and knock around.

Because Zhao Xu specially arranged for civil and military ministers to take turns to meet the emperor and have separate conversations at the same time.

Therefore, it was inevitable that some estrangement and suspicion would be created among the civil and military officials of Xihe.

Because no one can guarantee that in this process, someone has taken the opportunity to become the emperor's loyal dog, and after returning, this person will report to everyone anytime and anywhere!
Why would they think so?
Because that’s who they are!

This can be considered as the ancestral passiveness of the Zhao family.

That is - trying every possible means to create problems and conflicts among ministers.

This made it impossible for them to unite, so that the imperial power could dismiss and punish any minister in any position at any time and in any place.

No matter how great his contributions are or how high his status is!

Even though Zhao Xu had studied in modern China for ten years, he still couldn't suppress this instinct that came from his heart.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu only mentioned it briefly.

He did not really take the opportunity to develop his own spies and spies among the civil and military officials of Xihe.

This is because Zhao Xu knew in his heart that if he really wanted to do this, then the spies and spies he developed would definitely find ways to hinder others after returning!

Because, if these people don't do this.

There is no way to show your ability!
Since the Xining Reforms, so many things have happened because of this!

At the same time, it is also because Zhao Xu knows in his heart that today, after his ancestors have been persistently playing political games for a hundred years.

Ministers are also making progress!
They were also developing targeted means to quietly fight the emperor.

This is the objective law of the development of things.

It has been like this since ancient times.

Therefore, these methods can only have a temporary effect, but cannot truly achieve effective checks and balances.

Commissioner Smith, can you ruin Commissioner Hans' good deeds?

impossible!
They will only work together!
With so many disadvantages, there are so few advantages.

Zhao Xu didn't care about it anymore and continued to play the old tricks under the old rules.

Not interesting!
He chose to start a new game directly!

Because he found a new chive field!
A brand new leek field that has never appeared in the fame and fortune arena of the Song Dynasty and has never been exposed to the rules of the game of the Song Dynasty - the foreign officials and generals of Xihe!

These people have very low political status, but their power and influence in Xihe are extremely high.

At the same time, they had no roots in the court and were easily controlled.

What’s even more interesting is that these people actually belong to different ethnic groups.

There are also many conflicts between them, and they dislike each other.

It's absolutely the brand new leek that God prepared for Zhao Xu!

A blue ocean that belongs to him!
Therefore, after summoning the civil and military officials of Xihe, Zhao Xu prepared to summon the leaders of the foreign officials who came to Beijing from Xihe.

First, on the seventh day of the eighth month of the second year of Yuanyou.

Zhao Xu held a banquet in the Wende Hall to entertain the Xihe foreign officials and generals who came to the court.

Naturally, Zhao Xu was extremely friendly and tolerant towards these foreign officials and generals at the banquet.

He would patiently listen to the Tibetan and Qiang dialects spoken by some foreign officials who did not understand standard Chinese at all when they paid homage to him.

Then, he personally praised their achievements, commended their bravery, and encouraged them to fight bravely for the court and the country!
He would also raise his glass intimately and drink with these foreign officials and generals.

They would even kindly inquire about the families of these people, and when they heard that their elderly father or mother was present, they would ask them to convey their greetings and praise.

When learning about the situation of his descendants, people will admire that a good father will have a good son.

He even promised that he would set up a school in Bianjing City specifically for the descendants of these "loyal and brave ministers" to teach them civil and military affairs. He also performed a set of skilled operations to confer titles on wives and sons on great leaders such as the Zhao Chunzhong brothers, Wen Xixin, Xiba Wen, and Bao Shun.

His wife was granted the title of county governor and county lady, and his descendants were given official positions through his grace.

The standard is directly aligned with that of high-ranking Han military officials.

So, after these operations, all these foreign officials and generals were conquered by Zhao Xu.

Some people were even so excited that they knelt down in the hall and shouted "Long live uncle".

But, this is just the beginning.

On the second day, August Wu Zi (the eighth day of the first lunar month), Zhao Xu issued an edict, ordering Zhao Chunzhong, the military commander of Qinzhou, the imperial envoy, the governor of Minzhou, the inspector of the headquarters, and Li Linzhannezhi, the inspector of the Jiehe tribe and the deputy envoy of the supply warehouse, to accompany the emperor to the inner pond.

This means that he needs to have private conversations with the chieftains of the foreign tribes in order to transform them into his own image.

Why choose Zhao Chunzhong and Li Linzhannezhi?
Because these two people were loyal ministers in Zhao Xu's previous life who had withstood all kinds of tests!
They also made great contributions for him in the frontier wars of Shaosheng and Yuanfu!

The two of them are absolutely elite!
They are the easiest to fool and exploit!

As expected, the two men just accompanied the emperor to fish for an afternoon. After returning, they cried and said to their brothers/nephews/subordinates - "My uncle is the true emperor of the Han Dynasty. We are blessed."

When asked for details, everyone was shocked.

Because, the two of them told their clansmen: "My uncle said that in the future, we can select one or two beautiful girls from our clan to serve in the palace. If they give birth to a prince, they will lead our clan remotely. If they give birth to a princess, they will marry into our clan, so that we can share the wealth and honor with my uncle!"

This time, all the clansmen of Zhao Chunzhong and Li Linzhannezhi went crazy!
Marry your uncle from the Han family?
This this……

May the Buddha bless you!
With my uncle as my backer, our wealth and power will last forever!

Especially the people of Li Linzhannezhi, they were simply crazy.

These Tibetan nobles of Li Lizun's tribe were completely excited by the promise of this Han uncle!

Such a future is enough for them to work hard for their Han uncle until the last member of the tribe dies in battle!
For them, marrying their Han uncle would not only improve their status in the Song Dynasty.

It will also steadily improve their status among the Tibetan tribes!

The reason is simple - why are the Zamps sacred?

Besides, they are the sons of Buddha and have the blood of the great Songtsen Gampo flowing in their veins.

Also, because they have the blood of the Khan and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty flowing in their veins!

They are the real nephews of the Han family!

Don’t underestimate this identity!

Whether in the Tibetan or Qiang groups, or even among the Dangxiang people, the bloodline of the Han uncle is very noble.

Even among the Black Khans in the Western Regions, the status of a Han family's nephew is equally noble.

During the reigns of Emperor Shengzong of Liao and Emperor Xingzong of Liao, there were khans of the Black Khanate who sought marriages for their sons with princesses of the Liao Dynasty.

The Liao ruler readily agreed and selected a daughter from the royal family to marry as a princess.

Therefore, the Black Khans called themselves Taohuashi Khan (meaning the Chinese monarch) to the outside world, and regarded themselves as Maqin. In their external tone, Liao and Song were both parts of the Great Qin.

The Arabs, who were unaware of the truth, believed the Black Khan's words and regarded him as the successor of the Tang Dynasty.

To be precise, in the eyes of the distant Arabs (Abbasid Dynasty), it was reasonable for the Tang Dynasty to collapse into three parts.

Because that's what they are, broken into several pieces.

From a more distant Byzantine/European perspective, this makes even more sense.

Thus, countless magical legends about the East originated from this.

Magical stories like that of King John the Elder have continued to spread ever since.

Far away.

After returning to Zhao Xu, he followed the prescription and prescribed medicine for the next few days.

Starting from Bao Shun, the foreign officials and generals who came to the court were summoned one by one according to their closeness to the emperor.

Draw a pie in the sky to secure a marriage, and promise to share wealth and prosperity with the couple.

After this series of moves, no one can resist it!
Even foreign vassals like Xibawen and Wennezhiying could not hold on and directly stated - if my uncle grants me a favor, they are willing to serve as my uncle's vanguard and will not turn back even if they die!
As long as you give us the opportunity, we will do anything!
In the end, even Bang Biao could not sit still anymore. He handed in a note and cried for his uncle to summon him.
