"The general is in charge of millions of soldiers outside. The official family is seriously ill and cannot manage the national affairs. Therefore, the Ai family wants to go to Beijing with Duke Wen..."

"The Empress Dowager, the northwest is flat, and it cannot be called stable, and Prince An has made a move to avoid suspicion." Cai Que said through the curtain.

Cai Que was very dissatisfied with Gao Taotao's words.

First of all, Wang Ju is not a military general, so he cannot be so determined. The Song Dynasty has now established a system that does not kill scholars and officials, but can kill military generals!

Secondly, it cannot be called a million soldiers.

The troops dispatched this time were indeed very large. If Hedong included, the total force reached more than 700,000, approaching 750,000. Wang Ju also wrote a letter to explain the reason. Once the Western Xia was pacified, the focus of the front line would be shifted to Hedong, Hebei, but these two places have been peaceful for a long time and the military and civilians are not accustomed to fighting, which would be worrying.

Therefore, without much danger, the autumn harvest just ended, so many people from Hedong also went deep into the Liao territory with their logistics.

But in fact, the imperial court mobilized the imperial troops, the foreign troops, border troops, and Poche troops in this grand battle, only more than 300,000. Strictly speaking, these are the real internal troops. The remaining volunteers, strong men, strong men and horses, can archers be considered as army? Then Baoding also needs to be army. In this way, how many army would the Song Dynasty have to be? Or the people who escorted food and grass in the country must also be army. In this way, it is indeed "million-strong soldiers."

Moreover, Wang Ju also made many actions to avoid suspicion.

The Liao Dynasty's letter was sent, and Zhao Xu was not seriously ill. The high ceremony was not a joke. Especially for such a temporary national festival, you have to choose dates, make a lot of preparations, and also have rewards.

That is to say, just go on the high ceremony and rewards, which will save a lot of money... There is no way, the national treasury is really nervous now, and there is still a bottomless pit ahead, and a lot of money needs to be filled in. Of course, the difficulty lies in this year and next year. In the year after, the border construction will be improved, immigration will be properly placed, and the Song Dynasty will usher in a bright day.

First, Wang Ju, and he has already decorated many top officials behind him. Let’s continue to add them. Anyway, there are many officials from the first-rank first-rank second-rank second-rank second-rank, so it’s really not possible. Just add a few more military governors.

The second was Zhang Xiong and others. They not only awarded some top officials, but also awarded Duke Liu Changzuo and Miao. However, there is a prerequisite for Liu Miao to reward Duke. As they got old, they went through many long journeys this time, such as Miao Su leading troops from Xizhou to Roulang Mountain, and then to Beihetao. Liu Changzuo fought from Lingxia to Hedong, so the two of them became seriously ill one after another.

The northwest was bitter and cold. After the war ended, the court issued an edict one after another to ask the two to come back to recuperate, but the situation was very bad, so he was granted the title of Duke.

Not only were the two of them, including Li Xian, Lin Guang, Yao Yi, Zhang Shouyou, Wang Guangyu and other generals all had an illness, but they were fighting in one breath. After this battle, there would be no major battle in the Song Dynasty in the future. They themselves were also successful and fame, so they fell ill one by one and had to be transferred back to the capital to recuperate.

In fact, some people have long passed away in history, but since Wang Shao's death, Wang Ju has always attached great importance to the generals on the border and deliberately hired some famous doctors to stay by these important generals and take care of their bodies, which has continued their lives.

After achieving success and fame, some veterans quickly failed. In fact, before Wang Ju left the Song Dynasty, some veterans died of illness one after another.

The remaining 72 generals including Yao Xiong Zhongyi were given a visit.

Except for more than twenty veterans, the rest of these 72 generals will be the mainstay of the Song Dynasty's future border defense.

Later, Zhao Xu was seriously ill. Wang Ju got the news and immediately wrote a letter, first, to divide Shaanxi into two. Many original arrangements were not suitable now, such as Fulin Road, which was originally hanging alone on it, and only allocated supplies from Hedong Road, so it was marked on Hedong Road.

But now it is located between Hetao South Road and Fuyan Road, and then it is marked as Hedong Road, which is obviously unreasonable.

However, in this way, Shaanxi Road was too huge. Therefore, Wang Ju suggested that Shaanxi Road be divided into two parts. Shaanxi South Road includes the original Yongxing Jun Road, Jingyuan Road, Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road, Huangzhou Road and Hexi Road, and Shaanxi North Road include Huanqing Road, Fuyan Road, Fulin Road, Hetao Road, and Lingxia Road. The military, political and financial powers of the entire Shaanxi 14th Road were respectively appointed.

This is also what the future needs, but on the other hand, it is also an invisible constraint on Wang Ju.

The second move is to garrison the imperial guards, and to return most of the imperial guards on Shaanxi Road to Beijing, and half of them are transferred to Hebei Road. After all, there is no danger to rely on in Hebei Road, and the military and civilians are not familiar with war. If the Liao Kingdom sees this loophole, they may have unpredictable intentions.

But so many impeachments who had been on the battlefield for a long time were transferred to Hebei Road, the Liao people became honest. Even if they were not honest, the Song army could still give them a headache.

If so many imprisons are transferred back, they will inevitably be transferred from other places to enrich themselves.

The latter did not get any benefits, and Wang Ju was not familiar with them. The military needs this round of military garrison, which was actually an invisible constraint on Wang Ju.

Wang Ju had no choice but to be stable. If you can't do it, you have to settle down.

Even if I leave the Northwest in May, I can only say that I can barely achieve rough stability, but I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say that I can’t say

It will take me a few months.

So Gao Taotao's suspicion is unreasonable, and the emperor is not dead yet.

"Duke Cai, Wang Mang and An Lushan were both known for their loyalty and kindness."

Nothing wrong!

Anyway, I'm not at ease.

It is indeed Gao Taotao is worried.

No matter the troops in his hands or the prestige in the Song Dynasty, no one could match the king's power.

Cai Que is no longer there. Although he is the prime minister of the current dynasty, if Gao Taotao argues about it, Cai Que will eventually be at a disadvantage. He had to say, "Empress Dowager, Duke Wen is old."

"Ai's family wanted to use Duke Wen as his subordinate minister and as the Grand Tutor, and Pingzhang's military and national affairs were of great importance."

Cai did not care much about what the Grand Master said.

The key is that Pingzhang's military and national affairs were important. It originated from the Tang Dynasty and was above the prime minister. It was not permanent. It was positioned as a virtuous old minister to show favor. It was not used by the government affairs hall to handle government affairs unless it was the day of the day.

If this is the case, that would be fine.

This has to talk about the system issue again. In fact, after the three-provincial system was released, China's political system was basically improved.

The execution of the Secretary of the State, the deliberation of the subordinates, the decision-making of the Secretary of the State, and the supervision of the ministers, the changes of various countries later changed, and it was nothing more than these four basic cores, just a different form.

For example, the Song Dynasty's official system was in charge of the court for a long time, which was not good for the country. Therefore, the prime minister had to let him go after several years. However, the prime minister was unwilling to let him go? Now that the official system was in charge of the official system, it was easy to solve. For example, Zhao Xu asked Han Qi to go down, so he appointed the special appointment of the guard Situ, the chief magistrate, the chief magistrate, the chief magistrate of Yangzhou, the governor of Huainan, the governor of Yangzhou, the governor of the Yangzhou, the governor of the Huainan, the governor of Yangzhou, the governor of the Yangzhou, the governor of the Yangzhou, the governor of the army and the provincial affairs of the Xiangzhou, the same group of pastors, and the envoys of the internal farmers, and the envoys of the farmer were added to 1,000 households, and the actual number of households was granted. He was still given the title of sincere and virtuous to the Emperor of the Emperor, and the ministers were honored to praise the moral integrity of the Emperor, and the official title was as usual, and the officials were still ordered to choose a date to prepare the ritual order, and the master was implemented. He also gave the first district to the capital, and his son Han Zhongyan was promoted to the secret cabinet.

In fact, the real official position is to judge Xiangzhou.

However, these guardians, the chief magistrate, the chief general of Yangzhou, the governor of the Jungnan Jiedu, and the inspector of Yangzhou's internal management, were all the top officials who received their salary. First, they would give a lot of salary, and second, they would have enough honors. Well, the court would not have any grievances.

Besides, this supervision will be the case in later generations, but there are more means of supervision. The inspection by the discipline inspection department is a kind of supervision, legal judgment is also a kind of supervision, public opinion is also a kind of supervision, and the vote system of a democratic country is also a kind of supervision. If you choose you to come to power, you have to do it well. If you don’t do it well, we won’t choose you next time.

But don't think they have made progress.

If the law is judged properly, it will become a tool to suppress political enemies.

As for the votes and public opinion, then...hehe...hehe.

Just like the system implemented by Wang Ju on the other side, the upper class does not adopt the electoral system. If this thing is not done well, it is just a joke. How much political sense can we have? So whoever has more financial supporters can control more media and public opinion, and whoever can brag will be in power.

But the lower class can avoid this phenomenon. They are all from the villagers. They do not need public opinion to manipulate their abilities and character. Everyone knows it. Then some laws are issued, such as someone has a big fist, and his family has eighteen brothers. If you don’t choose me, we will beat anyone who doesn’t choose me. Okay, the word “smart” is immediately compatible with three years, so that it can ensure its fairness and unmanipulation.

Then, from the huge grassroots, officials who stand out as middle-level officials were selected. After that, there was an elite change system, at least they would not be interfered by capital. At the same time, the top officials who came up had rich political experience, and at least they would not have the likes of Song Huizong, Song Gaozong and Song Lizong.

However, has such a system been perfected? There are still many unfulfilling aspects.

Another problem is what Wang Ju repeatedly said about the distribution of rights.

Now the system basically consists of four types: decision-making, deliberation, execution and supervision. However, at the beginning, the three-provincial system was the most expensive for the Shangshu. In the Tang Dynasty, it became the most expensive for the Zhongshu. Later, it became the most expensive for the disciples and the most expensive for the deliberation.

In other words, if the official position of Wen Yanbo is not delegated, it does not have much real power. It is regarded as a senior consultant. If it is delegated, it is actually above the prime minister!

Cai Que left the palace worriedly and quickly wrote a letter to notify Wang Ju.

Wang Ju also quickly replied to a letter saying that this was inevitable. But it was not as pessimistic as Cai Que thought, because one thing was Han Zhen.

The court also agreed to make Shaanxi Road two, and Shaanxi South Road is undoubtedly richer. Not only does it have the wealthy Dazhou Prefecture and other rear areas such as Chang'an, Hezhong Prefecture, but also the Xihe Road and other areas are also rich in water and plants. Even the two Hexi Roads are stronger than the desolate desert Gobi area in the north.

But in terms of importance, it is undoubtedly the North Road in Shaanxi. The court established nine border roads, namely Xihe Road, Huangzhou Road, Hexi Road, Lingxia Road, Hetao Road, and Fulin Road. However, the real preparation zone is in Lingxia Road, Hetao Road and Fulin Road, and all five preparation zones are in Shaanxi North Road. Similarly, most elite soldiers and generals are also in Shaanxi North Road. Large-scale military construction includes the Great Wall in Yinshan, and even in Shaanxi North Road.

With Gao Taotao's consent, the court ordered Han Zhen to be the sanction of Yanzhou and the fifth road of Shaanxi North Road and the fifth road of Wubian.

This is Gao Taotao's emphasis on the Han family, one Han and two Lu. The Han family is the most famous among the Song Dynasty's official families. Although Han Zhen has a good relationship with Wang Ju, Wang Ju can't imagine that he can control Han Zhen. One is to restrain Wang Ju, and the other is to win over the Han family.

It is normal for an orphan and widowed mother to worry about it.

However, after Wen Yanbo entered the court, the situation in the court would inevitably gradually deteriorate. However, without Sima Guang, the deterioration would not be so fast. If there is no accident, it could be delayed until the end of next year. Therefore, Wang Ju gave Cai Que two suggestions.

The first article is not necessary to arouse Gao Taotao's disgust. The second article is to persist until next year, because the construction of northern border defense must be continued until after next autumn before it can be improved. If Cai Que leaves the phase, the consequences will be bad.

However, many things cannot be calculated by Wang Ju. February came, and Lu Gong died of illness. His appointment caused some old ministers to rise again. However, he was qualified and worked hard. However, as soon as Lu Gong died, the meaning of Cai Que's win over was gone.

Gao Taotao forced the Secretariat to issue an edict, changing Wen Yanbo to the Right Pushe and Taishi Jia Pingzhang's military and national affairs.

Wang Ju wrote a memorial and handed it to the court, saying that from next year, the national finance will have a large-scale surplus.

The original five routes in Shaanxi have all settled down and officially entered the peacetime period. Other routes are also being developed. If the situation in previous years can be maintained, the annual fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty can reach nearly 200 million yuan, which can be converted into new banknotes, and can also reach 140 to 50 million yuan. In addition, without the drag of the Song-Xia war, then the annual surplus of 50 million yuan can be made. After deducting more than 10 million yuan of national debts, the surplus can also be made nearly 40 million yuan.

This surplus is too huge.

Therefore, we should take it appropriately from the people and use it for the people.

This is used for the people, not to give money to the people, but in the end it will fall into the hands of rich people. The poor people are still hungry or raise a group of lazy people.

So the court had to prepare river construction, as well as other large-scale water conservancy projects, to recruit workers to manage rivers. The poor people have no source of income, and now they give you economic sources. In fact, the major construction of infrastructure in the past few years was also of this nature, but the scale of river construction was too large, and Wang Ju didn't dare to let it go at that time.

After these water conservancy improvements, they can benefit the people.

It is also one of the national policies formulated by officials and ministers a few years ago. I hope the court will think twice.

If it is launched next year, it will be prepared this year, and at least send relevant officials to inspect it.

Then I deliberately wrote a paragraph later. Duke Wen was an old minister of the country's three dynasties and was deeply admired. He heard that the court summoned him to the capital as prime minister, and the minister congratulated him.

Since Xining, Duke Jiefu, who was seriously ill, needed medicine from tigers and wolves to treat it. Duke Wen used the country to cook small fresh food, and he had to slowly release it. With Duke Jiefu's rule, the world would be scattered and the Song Dynasty would fall into danger. The two concepts were inconsistent, leading to many disputes.

Although the two dukes had disputes, they all had patriotism and hoped that the Song Dynasty would last for a long time, so they fought.

Today, I am safe, but the Khitan should not be underestimated.

Emperor Taizong of Tang said to his ministers: "Governing the country is like curing a disease. Even if the disease is cured, it is best to protect him. If you indulge yourself and get sick again, it will be unsuccessful. Now China is in peace and the four barbarians are all submissive. It is true that I have been cautious every day, but I am afraid of it but not ending, so I want to hear from you many people's advice and disputes." Wei Zheng said: "I don't think it's happy to be at peace with your own internal and external security, but I am happy that Your Majesty is worried about danger."

It is precisely the situation of our dynasty, and it is also the time when Your Majesty is seriously ill and has a lot of trouble. I hope Duke Wen will forget his previous political struggles and put the world first.

When the memorial arrived in the court, everyone was shocked, especially some radical new party ministers, who thought unconvinced that Wang Ju surrendered!

However, Cai Que and Zhang Dun did not speak out, and Wang Ju was afraid that Zhang Dun would not understand, so he secretly wrote a long letter to him.

Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang were happy, but this letter also means that the previous struggle for the dynasty has come to an end... I think it is beautiful!

On March 22, Wen Yanbo went to Beijing.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, the court received another memorial from Wang Ju, writing a letter saying that the ministers and Your Majesty agreed to serve the Song Dynasty for six years in a timely manner. The six-year period was about to expire. I hope the court would like to allow the ministers to go to the other side, and also asked the court to arrange for the ministers to hand over their affairs one by one.

Gao Taotao learned that he was very happy. In fact, Wang Ju had the intention of rebellion, but some of the noble ladies who were muttering around her kept slandering, so Gao Taotao became more and more uneasy. But he had to act like this, and he couldn't let the people in the world say that they were all over the world.

So Cai Que issued an edict to keep him.
To be continued...
