The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1894 The Secret One Hundred Thousand Forbidden Army

"Find a place to bury him. Besides, he was once an important minister of our Great Song Dynasty, and he has made some contributions. It can be regarded as the last thing I do for him."

After Zhao Pu's death, Zhao Xu told the jailer that no matter how wrong Zhao Pu was, he could have been a prime minister before, and he was also the founding hero of the Song Dynasty. Then everything is over, and the rest is credit.

It has to be said that his contributions are indelible, and if he cannot die, he must become a criminal minister. Since he can't be buried in a grand burial, he can also be buried in a consoling way, which can be regarded as the Zhao father and son are worthy of him.

This matter is kept confidential. After all, no one can forgive Zhao Pu for his crimes. Otherwise, what is the majesty of the court, and what is the face of the court?

After Zhao Pu died, there were not many heroes left who followed Zhao Kuangyin!
The generation that was active in the political arena at the beginning has come to an end, and now many of the people in the court are young people, and they have already ruled the world. They have to admit that these people are old, and it is impossible not to admit it.

An era was coming to an end, and after Zhao Kuangyin went through this incident, he went directly to the imperial mausoleum to worship, and handed over all the major affairs of the court to Zhao Xu!
Zhao Xu could not stop complaining. It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to rest. He even greeted him and left, leaving Zhao Xu helpless in this mess.

"As Prime Minister Zuo, Miao Xun, your responsibilities are important. Do you know what the responsibilities of a prime minister are?"

The prime minister assists in managing yin and yang, leads the officials, and assists the emperor. This is the interpretation of the prime minister.

"And since you know, then you don't need to do everything yourself, just manage all the officials well. Now that the court is stable, you, the prime minister, have a heavy workload, so you must take care of your health."

Zhao Xu felt that Miao Xun had been working too hard recently, which made Zhao Xu very worried. Miao Xun was getting older, especially Miao Xun's ancestors had a precedent, Zhuge Liang died of hard work.

"You are now an important minister of the country, and there is no need to do everything yourself. Don't think of Zhuge Wuhou who must do everything by yourself. You must know that your body is not only yours, but also the country's."

"Besides, there is the Privy Council for military affairs, and there are not only counselors for political affairs, but also six departments, so Mr. Miao, you don't have to work so hard."

It was the first time that Zhao Xu cared so much about a minister. Miao Xun was moved, and other ministers envied him. Now that the crown prince supervises the country, his words are similar to the imperial decree, because he represents Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. I must remember your Highness's teachings." Miao Xun is the No. 1 in the dynasty. Now there is no prime minister on the right, and there is only a prime minister on the left, which makes Miao Xun very unique.

"Lord Miao has recently paid more attention to the selection of officials in the north, and asked the Ministry of Officials to send over the assessment results of officials above the county magistrate, so I have to go over them one by one."

What the north mainly knows is the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun obtained from the contract. The officials in these places will be replaced, and the replacements will be selected from the south, and only excellent officials can go to the north. Years, plus some political achievements, just wait for promotion and fortune.

This was Zhao Xu's first question to an official, and he had to select him himself. It seemed that he was very concerned about the affairs of the north.

"Yes, Your Highness, this time it's not yet the time to move at the age of three. Why did His Highness send new officials? After all, they are not familiar with the place. Now these original officials are very familiar with Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. , getting twice the result with half the effort, Your Highness?"

The officials of the Song Dynasty changed every three years, and those who had served in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun had not been there for three years. Why did Zhao Xu want to change the officials?

"It's because they are too familiar with that place, so I have to change another place for them. It's not a good thing to stay in one place for a long time. Let them come back. That place trains people. I'm going to let me Da Song more." Officials go there to exercise."

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are the front line of the battle with Khitan, and there is ongoing farming there. Is it because of this that the officials are being changed at this time?

"Just hand in the list and I'll discuss it with you after I've reviewed it. After that, go and do your own work. Miao Xun stays here. I still have something to say."

All the important court officials left one after another to go to their respective offices. Miao Xun stayed alone. He didn't know what Zhao Xurang was going to do when he stayed, but he waited patiently.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by letting me stay?"

"Sir, I still think it's easier to call you Mr. How many forbidden troops did the emperor take away this time when he went to sweep the imperial tomb?"

"I know about this, and in order to protect His Majesty, I took away [-] Imperial Guards with me. I don't know what His Majesty is asking?" Miao Xun was puzzled, what Zhao Xu wanted to do just to ask about this matter.

"Sir, don't speak dark words in front of others. I'll tell you that the father took away ten thousand soldiers and horses on the surface, but you know that there are hundreds of thousands of followers secretly."

The imperial army transferred [-] away?Miao Xun didn't know anything about this matter, and even the Privy Council didn't file a record. Whoever let the command of the imperial army belong to the emperor, no one else can interfere.

"This is Your Highness?"

"Sir, you are not an outsider. I told my father to attract all the attention of the world to him. Do you know why?"

Zhao Kuangyin went to the imperial mausoleum at this time. It was not a year of catastrophe, and there was no auspiciousness, so he went to the imperial mausoleum to worship. This is unreasonable, so he was waiting here!
"Could it be that His Majesty has other plans. After all, it is no small matter to secretly mobilize 10 people, or that His Majesty is not going to the imperial mausoleum at all, but has other purposes?"

He was also very depressed that even his current prime minister didn't know about the deployment of troops. What kind of major event was involved, which made Zhao Kuangyin act like this.

"Actually, it's not that big of a deal. Just remember that it won't be long before someone discovers the anomaly of the forbidden army. As for how you explain it at that time, that's what your prime minister should think about, but these 10 people can't appear in the south of Bianjing , let alone appear beside the emperor, sir, do you remember?"

Zhao Xu still didn't say what the 10 people were going to do, but just asked him to prepare in advance so that he would not be in a hurry when the time came.

"Here is a statement. You can file it. This is written by the secret father. If the Privy Council asks about it, you can fool it."

Zhao Xu handed him another note. These were all prepared for the [-] army. It seemed that the [-] army was really mysterious.

The emperor and the crown prince knew it, but the prime minister didn't know it. Miao Xun didn't know what was involved, and he didn't want to know, because he was really afraid that it would involve the palace, and he didn't know how to die.
