Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1644

Of course, the standard is very high, and the attitude of the other party is also very polite, but there is no substantive problem, which really makes him restless, really like sitting on pins and needles.

He came to test the attitude of Song Xingchao, to be precise, to test Wang Xiu's tone, but he couldn't even meet him face-to-face. When will he complete his mission.

At this time, the Northern Expedition, which caught the attention of the whole country, caused an uproar in the court.
The public opinion was polarized again, and the focus was on Wang Xiu's sudden stop, but he didn't continue to go north, so that the captives had a chance to recuperate.

Of course, some people think that to regain their homeland, the outside of the pass is nothing but a land of barbarians.

However, these are all the opinions of the market, and the truly knowledgeable scholars, although they have different opinions, can understand Wang Xiu.

The territory of the Great Song Dynasty has reached its peak since the founding of the country, and it has reached the traditional borders of all dynasties. The Jin army was not completely wiped out.

The two governments can understand Wang Xiu. They also know the situation in the north. It is actually Wang Xiu's design. It seems so accurate today. The Jurchens are divided into three groups. If they can grasp the situation well, they can completely conquer the situation at the minimum cost. The Jurchens and even the steppe savages were maimed.

In fact, everyone understands that the war is not really over. Wang Xiu still has a purpose in staying in the north. Government consultation.

"Your Majesty, please change Yanshan Mansion to Beiping and expand Hebei Road, but I don't know what you think?" Zhao Jiong gave Dacheng a good impression and was very good at absorbing opinions. Even if the imperial power was weakened, it did not affect his mentality.

"Yanshan Mansion was built because of the terrain, and there is Yanshan Mansion Road, how can it be easily changed." Li Gang disagreed with the authenticity, what is Beiping?Jingping in the north, Wang Xiu should take Liaoyang and change it to Beiping.

In Wang Xiu's memorial, he expanded Hebei Road and Hedong Road, and changed the original Yanshan Mansion to Beiping Mansion. The meaning can be imagined. It is different from Li Gang's idea. The implication of taking the strategy to establish the Northern Kingdom can also be said to be the pacification of the North. , depends on how you understand it.

Because Yanshan Mansion and Yanshan Mansion Road were set up during the Xuanhe period, they have a symbolic meaning, and it is inappropriate to change them easily, but it made some people hesitate.

Cai Yi didn't think so, and said loudly: "I think Beiping is very good. It will deter the barbarians in the north, pacify the four barbarians, and demonstrate your majesty's might and virtue."

Zhao Jiong is very self-aware, and doesn't think he has mighty virtue, but he just thinks that Beiping's righteousness is good and suits his taste.

"It won't be too late to take the big northern city as Beiping when the captives really surrender." Li Gang glanced at Cai Yi displeasedly, his eyes full of contempt.

"Is there a male city in the north?" Cai Yi said disapprovingly.

Shen Mo glared at Cai Yi fiercely, cursing this guy as an idiot, Li Gang was obviously sarcastic, but couldn't hear him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the war of the captives is not over yet, whether it is to boost morale, or at the moment The world is just as it should be.”

"It makes sense." Zhao Jiong said lightly.

Qin Hui made a calculation in his heart and secretly savored Zhao Jiong's attitude. He was clearly inclined towards Wang Xiu, but after careful consideration, he said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, place names have been changed frequently. Yanshan has been named Zhuo, Ji, and You since the pre-Qin period. Yanshan, what's the harm in restoring Youzhou or changing to Peiping today?"

These words are quite clever, first of all avoid the necessity of Yanshan Mansion, there have been changes in every dynasties, why can't it be changed now.Yuan Sheng's use of terrain to change Yanshan is even more punishing. He clearly and implicitly accused Zhao Huan of being arbitrarily, without any meaningful meaning. Since the emperor did it arbitrarily, why can't he change it?It's also some kind of political speculation.

Li Gang is not easy to refute. After all, everyone is a veteran. Zhao Ji’s randomness is obvious to all. Qin Hui’s theory of changing the names of counties and counties also exists in reality. It cannot be changed just because the emperor changed the name. There are quite a few reforms, and important or prosperous areas have been promoted to prefectures, resulting in a continuous surge in the number of prefectures.

For example, Wang Xiu's withdrawal of the prefecture and establishment of the prefecture is due to the fact that the withdrawal of prefectures and establishment of prefectures is too excessive. There are only five prefectures in the country, namely Jiangning, Chengdu, Kaifeng, Henan, and Jingzhao. .

"According to Master Qin's wishes, wouldn't the three towns also have to be changed?" Li Guang followed Qin Hui's wishes and calmly led an army.

Qin Hui was speechless for a moment. He didn't dare to mention the three towns. Although they were ceded to the Jurchens, they were the symbol of the ancestral mausoleum of the royal family of the Song Dynasty.As for Zhao Huan who ceded the three towns back then, but no one spoke, that was asking for trouble.

"Master Li, Lord Wang reported that Yanshan Mansion changed its name, it is not the three towns, but I don't know what you think?" Mo Mo didn't want to be led by the nose.

"It's all right." Li Guang didn't object to Wang Xiu's performance. On the contrary, he believed that Peiping had some meaning.

Li Gang glanced at Li Guang with complicated eyes, but he didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, the name change is actually not a big deal. The key lies in the famine and plague in the east of Hebei. Although it has been alleviated for the time being, it cannot be taken lightly." Mo Mo is concerned about people's livelihood. As the ruler in charge of the imperial court's finances, he is very clear about the current financial situation.

In private, he once said that war is really a gold-swallowing beast. The Northern Expedition has been fought on the battlefield for more than a year, and the treasury has been consumed a lot, and the landlord's family has not experienced such a toss.What is even more costly is the people's livelihood in East Hebei. Whether it is the money and food for disaster relief or the cost of post-war reconstruction, it is undoubtedly an astronomical figure, which can really crush the court.

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Zuo Tianzi's rule of the people is the philosophy of scholar-officials. Compared with war, people's livelihood is more important.

Li Gang Nian nodded, and said solemnly: "The Xuanfu Disposal Division handled it properly, and no major incidents occurred. Since the army is about to gradually retreat, the imperial court should try to appease the military states as much as possible. I think Xuanfu Disposal should be changed to Xuanfu."

The veterans present understood that Wang Xiu was rightly benefited in the north, and it was just right to deal with the restoration of the recovery area.

The change of Xuan Fu's disposition to Xuan Fu has obviously weakened Wang Xiu's power. Don't underestimate the word "disposition". , Xuanfu is easy to accept.

Cai Yi rolled his eyes straight away. He didn't deny Li Gang's correctness, but he thought it was a suspicion of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. He said sharply, "Since you stay in the north to take charge of the overall situation, you have to take care of side affairs. Why abolish the disposal function?"

Qin Hui's eyes rolled, and he seemed to understand Li Gang's intentions, secretly thinking that this guy is still on guard, and I'm afraid there will be troubles in his life again.
