At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 168
"The guilty minister Liu Jie (Liu Hanjie, Duo Erde) pays homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor." More than twenty surrendered ministers prostrated themselves on the ground and did not dare to express their anger.

"No courtesy, stay on your own." Zhao Shi looked at everyone carefully.

"Thank you, my emperor." Everyone stood up after thanking him.

There were many civil servants in the Han Dynasty, and magistrates of counties and prefectures in various places. After being abandoned by the Yuan army, they chose to welcome the king. The Mongolians only had Duo'erde and two hundred households under his command. They were both able to feed one person and the whole family was not hungry.

Even if the Han ministers are not handsome, they are all Zhou Zheng. After all, the ugly one is either Ding Daquan or Zhong Kui, and it is impossible to become a local official.

At this time, everyone was staring at their feet, as if to see if there would be flowers on them.

Duo'er was more courageous and secretly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, only to find that their eyes were locked and she immediately lowered her head.

Zhao Shi opened his mouth and said: "Since you have surrendered and your previous crimes have been pardoned, you will be rewarded as usual for your merits this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone bowed.

Zhao Shi said again: "When you come back, there is no loyalty in the eyes of the world. However, the imperial system does not care about your deeds but your heart. As long as you fulfill your duties, you will be rewarded. If you have made any mistakes, you will be punished according to the law. Please remember this."

"I will obey the holy edict." Everyone bowed again.

After the lecture, it was natural to confer an official position.

The civil servants all surrendered after being abandoned. In fact, they were not active. They either went to Zhendong Road or Qiongzhou Road. It was a bit far, but there was nothing to complain about.

Duo'er had to enter Taipu Temple, Liu Jie was appointed as the deputy defense envoy along the Qiantang River, and Liu Hanjie was transferred to patrol the capital of Jiaxing. The meaning of idleness was quite obvious.

This is how generals should be demoted. It is unusual for Yuanting to retain or even promote demoted generals. Moreover, it is stipulated that those above the third rank will be protons, and the others will retain their relatives. It cannot be said that they are completely trusted.

The demoted officials thanked them and left, and naturally it was the prisoners' turn to deal with them.

A large number of prisoners were used to repair the city. Although it speeded up the recovery of the place, it also tied up a large number of troops. In the event of a rebellion, it would harm the people at least, and affect the defense line at worst.

"In addition, people from various places are returning one after another and are in urgent need of earning money and food to survive. According to the opinion of the Political Council, some innocent prisoners should be kept, and the rest should be sent to the mines in the rear. Those who cannot be pardoned should be sent to Nanning.

The military prefectures employ people to work, and they can follow the example of Li Xiang's story in Yangzhou to restore the place as soon as possible. "Chen Yizhong said.

There is nothing wrong with this approach, just follow it everywhere.

"After the war, various places have to rebuild. Can money and food support it?" Zhao Shi asked.

"There is still wealth." Ma Shangshu felt so proud for the first time.

"I thought South Vietnam would surrender without a fight, but I didn't want it to abandon the capital and leave. As a result, Ling Fangju was trapped and unable to turn around. Do you have any good strategies?" Zhao Shi asked.

Ma Shangshu was proud and elated all because of Ling Fangju's great efforts. Although he could not bring back a huge amount of money and food at once like the city, he still brought back 50 stones of food and more than [-] gold and silver goods. In addition to the money and food from the city, the central finance department Very generous.

"Your Majesty, all the rebellious ministers and traitors can be punished. I believe that we should continue to support the Li family and attack the Chen family in order to rectify the source and demonstrate the dignity of the country." Ma Tingluan said.

"I think what Ma Hubu said is reasonable." Zhao Yuchen said: "At present, Ling Fangju expands his army by [-], and the Li family is responsible for the food and salary. The court does not need to bear any responsibility. The money and food he collects are endless and the benefits are huge. It is difficult to give up. .”

"I really think that the two ministers of the Ministry of Household Rites should be exchanged, what do you think?" Zhao Shi laughed.

Everyone laughed.

The Ministry of Households takes the lead and the Ministry of Rites talks about practical examples. Shouldn't they be reversed?
After he finished laughing, Lu Xiufu said: "Since Ling Fangju has been stationed in South Vietnam for a long time, his name must be correct. Please grant Ling Fangju and Li's name."

Zhao Shi said: "Li Ning was granted the title of Duke of Yue and ordered to come to the court at a selected date. Ling Fang was appointed as the envoy to South Vietnam."

Mou Gong came out and said: "Your Majesty, what if the Chen family surrenders?" Uh... Zhao asked: "What is the opinion of the Political Affairs Hall?"

Chen Yizhong replied: "After I return, we will discuss it. If the Chen family surrenders, we will definitely deal with it appropriately without losing the dignity of the country."

This is not easy to deal with.

Accept it, where is the newly supported Li family?If you don't accept it, obviously you can only fight to the end.

The emperor didn't want to worry about it, so he changed the topic and said: "I received a letter from the sea. The Yuanlu have occupied the three islands of Japan. The Japanese people are guarding the isolated islands. They will be destroyed sooner or later. How should the country respond?"

"Your Majesty, Japan has not signed a letter of credence and has not sent an envoy, which is very disrespectful. I think we should let it go its own way." Zhao Yulu said.

The new emperor has succeeded, and it would be rude for the vassal country not to send envoys to congratulate him. If you don't, it would be fine for you. Do you still want to support him?

"Your Majesty, the Yuanlu in Jinghu and Guangxi in the north of the Yangtze River are on the side. The army should not move lightly, and Japan is alone overseas. It has nothing to do with the overall situation, so just ignore it." Chen Yizhong started from reality.

"But we can't ignore it." Lu Xiufu said: "The Yuan captives are constantly increasing their troops in order to occupy Japan. I thought I could support one or two to contain the Japanese troops."

"The land division will not move, the sea division will take the lead, and Liu Yu will be sent north to support Japan." Zhao Shi thought for a moment and said: "If necessary, Tianlei can be sold to Japan. In addition to money and food, women can pay for it, and all the goods can be shipped to Japan. Nanning country."

"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for the teacher to come from unknown sources." Zhao Yuchen insisted on his opinion.

"It's okay if it's not in the name of the imperial court." Zhao Shi said, "It's okay for merchants to act bravely when they see justice, to support the weak and suppress the strong!"

At least the emperor did not call out to resist the Yuan Dynasty and aid the Day, and set up a volunteer army.

After the matter was settled, Zhao Shi said again: "It is my intention to send an envoy to Yuanting in the name of celebrating the New Year. The purpose is to find out the truth, bring back the Empress Dowager and others, and exchange prisoners. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is orthodox and cannot send envoys to the captive chieftains in the name of celebrating the New Year." Zhao and Chen objected from the point of etiquette.

It's not that it's unreasonable, but there can only be one emperor. If Zhao sends an envoy, it is equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of Emperor Kublai Khan.

In this way, the Northern Expedition in the future will not be about recovering lost territory, but invasion.

The name is something that sounds ridiculous, but it is actually very obvious. For example, Cui Bin, Meng Qi and others were determined to join Kublai Khan because they believed that Kublai Khan was orthodox. If Kublai Khan was not orthodox, they might take the initiative to vote for him.

"Your Majesty, if the three palaces surrender, the dignity of the country and the dynasty will be lost, and how to take them back and resettle them is a difficult problem, so it is unnecessary." Chen Yizhong reminded tactfully.

There was no example before, but the future Tumubao God of War made a coup to seize the door. This is a living master of the aftermath.

But for Zhao Shi, if Zhao Xiaoer wanted to have nothing, he would probably be pinned to the ground and hammered.

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Shi said: "I have an orphan and a widowed mother. I am exhausted and have no choice but to do it. If I can, I will take him back and follow King Ning's example.

Zhu Qing thought it was inappropriate to send envoys, so they chose one or two captives to release back, just to convey my intention. "

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers responded and no longer objected.

One last thing, because Lin'an is generally safe, we can bring Yang and Zhao Bing here.

It makes sense, after all, the Yang family has the power to govern, and Zhao Xiaosan is the natural heir. If something happens... although it is impossible, we must take precautions.

Zhao didn't think about this, but simply thought that instead of letting Yang worry about it, it would be better to reunite in Lin'an.
