"Not kill?"

"It's not that I don't want to kill. The Beiwei Army killed many thieves in the battle of Zhongjiangyuan. Then, Su Han, who made contributions to Jianmen, went to Meizhou to rescue. The thief leader Wu Yun fought stubbornly. The Beiwei Army, Suhan's troops and the defenders in the city attacked each other, and killed many thieves."

"Instruction Zhang, killing means not killing. If not killing, it may be the other way around to killing."

"This is……"

"If you raise a child, it is not to be loved by a son, but to harm the son. The sooner Bashu is pacified, the fewer people will be killed. This is the case with Beiwei Army and Zhang Yong, and Bashu is saved."

Who doesn’t want to be a good hometown?

Liu E is from Sichuan, and her rebellion twice made most of the people in Bashu miserable.

"What else is there in the temple?"

"I heard a message that Duke Song proposed to set up five thousand cavalry in Bashu."

"Country cavalry?"

"I don't know much about the specificity. It seems that the Beiwei Army still exposed some problems this time, mainly horses. The Beiwei Army is mostly northwest horses and Khitan horses. They fight fiercely on the plains, but in hilly areas, there are various limitations. Compared with northwest horses and Khitan horses, Xichuan horses and Dian horses are short, but they are more suitable for running or fighting on the Bashu Mountain Road. The main purpose of this cavalry is to quickly withdraw troops after the rebellion suppression and use them for use in the north. The second purpose is that some barbarians took advantage of the straits and abducted many people. Once the rebellion is quelled, the court will ask them for it. If they don't listen, they may use a few of the more rampant barbarian tribes to intimidate the various barbarian tribes and let them restrain a little."

Liu E understands this explanation.

In the past, the Song Dynasty had severe lack of horses, but after the determination was difficult to calm down, the actual territory of the Song Dynasty gradually covered the entire Nanhetao, and the tribes of Beihetao also surrendered to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty went to war with the Liao Kingdom. Several great victoryes and seized many war horses. Although the court reduced pastoral supervision in the Central Plains, some pastoral supervision were developed in the north. Therefore, military war horses were basically satisfied.

Moreover, the imperial court still mainly used infantry and cavalry as its auxiliary.

But it does not mean that the national horses are satisfied.

Simple, such as national transportation, post horses, horses rewarded by officials, and imperial horses.

There are more civilian horses, and dignitaries can raise horses, ride horses and pull carriages at homes. For commercial transportation, horses are used for cultivated land...

Therefore, Bashu continued to implement the tea and horse policy, one was the official, mainly used for the use of horses in the southwest, and the other was the horses for private trade and private transactions.

However, official horses are mainly used as war horses. As the number of war horses is satisfied, the official tea and horse trade gradually declines.

If five thousand cavalrymen were set up in Bashu, once there was a policeman, they could quickly suppress them. They could also shock the various barbarians, and at the same time they could increase the number of tea and horses, further win over the Qiang people in Xichuan.

But Liu E didn't fully understand Song Jiu's intentions.

Song Jiu proposed this time that the actual target was the Manchu Ministry. In the future, the policy will gradually become tougher. Be obedient, have sugar to eat, and are disobedient. Then this cavalry familiar with the local terrain and climate will enter and the army will face each other.

Don't be too anxious. You can take it slowly, organize the township cavalry first, then train troops, and then solve various problems. Finally, they will be put into use.

"But I heard a message in the market."

"What news?"

"It is rumored that Mr. Song is kind-hearted and therefore ordered not to be killed, so that tens of thousands of innocent people who were involved in the thief army in the two rivers could survive."

After Zhang Qi said before, Liu E's face turned gloomy.

"Madam, don't worry. Mr. Song is too late to avoid suspicion now. Besides, he is buying people's hearts. If His Majesty heard about it, he must know that someone was framed."

"Mr. Zhao was originally planning to enter Xichuan to quell the rebellion. But a monk from Mount Emei said a few words. Zhao Changyan's nose was broken into the roots of the mountain. This is the opposite. It is not appropriate to entrust Shu affairs. He also said that Zhao Changyan was always famous and had no heirs. Now he has the army and entered Shu, so he may be difficult to control him. Where is Duke Zhao now?"

This rumor is even more vicious than the intentions of the great monk Maozhen.

As a monarch, what do you hate most? It wins people's hearts!

But who is framed by Song Jiu?

It is impossible that it is the emperor. The emperor may slightly demote Song Jiu to allow the smooth transition of power. However, in general, the emperor still believes in Song Jiu or even feels guilty. There is no need to use this vicious rumor to force Song Jiu down. If that doesn't happen, he may become the second Lu Duosun.

It can't be Song Jiu.

Song Jiu said that Shanren had his own tricks, but he did not dare to come up with this clumsy idea to let him go.

Who is that?

In fact, the temple is like the country. Can I be a good person? No! If you don’t eat people, people will have to eat you. Whoever eats great food and whoever eats well will be the winner.

I don’t know who is doing it, but she is not worried about it, nor is she capable of worrying about it, and she dare not worry about it.

Liu E is concerned about who Song Jiu is.

In fact, this person has arrived in the capital, but Liu E has not paid attention yet.

Kou Zhun!

What has nothing to do with Song Jiu is that they are in the Western Prefecture, and the other is that they dare not add Song Jiu's power. There are three prime ministers in the Western Prefecture, and Xiang Minzhong has come up, so they cannot ask. Zhao Kuangyi is actually aware of the virtues of Chai Yuxi and Zhao Rong.

There are also many prime ministers in the East Prefecture, and Lu Mengzheng and Liu Changyan must be excluded first. Liu Changyan was the first to take office, but his former "master" played an invisible but practical important role between the two crown princes.

There is one thing Zhao Kuangyi doesn't want to make it happen.

Wang Ji'en investigated the Zhao Yuanxi case and found letters from Zhao Yuanxi's mansion about his second son's contacts with many ministers, including Zhao Pu and Lu Mengzheng.

Lu Duan was cautious and could not tell why.

Su Yijian likes to drink and speaks the truth after drinking. Do you dare to ask the drunkard about such an important thing?

So Song Jiu concluded that Zhao Kuangyi would inevitably order Kou Zhun to return to Beijing again. Is he Zhao Kuangyi's "Wei Zheng"?

However, Kou Zhun first returned to the capital and received the honorary position of Zuo Jianyi, he had not yet entered the two prefectures, so Liu E didn't remember it.

In fact, Xiao Kou came to the capital and decided the fate of the empire.

Seeing Xiao Kou, Zhao Kuangyi was very excited. He rolled up his clothes and showed Xiao Kou the wound on his leg. He complained, "Why are you here until now?"

I mean, if you don’t come, you won’t be able to see me. I imply that he is in a bad state, so you should talk boldly today.

Kou Zhun replied calmly: "I will not be able to go to the capital unless I summoned me."

I also want to go back to Beijing. But once you put me in Qingzhou for several years, what can I do?

The king and his minister made a fuss.

Zhao Kuangyi went straight to the point and asked, "Who can I apply to the magical artifact?"

Xiao Kou is a middle-aged young man, but a very wise middle-aged young man is different from other middle-aged young man.

This question cannot be answered casually, so he said a famous saying in history: "Your Majesty chooses a king for the world, and plans to be a wife and eunuch, but you cannot plan to be a close minister. Only Your Majesty chooses the one who is in line with the expectations of the world."

But don't take it seriously. If you open the history books in another time and space, you will know that Kou Zhun in his later years did something, colluding with eunuchs such as Zhou Huaizheng to overthrow Liu E, and even forced Emperor Zhenzong of Song to abdicate and give it to Zhao Zhen, who was only a few years old.

Politicians can't take the words seriously.

Kou Zhun's reply now made Zhao Kuangyi a little unhappy. I showed you the injury to your leg, so you have to dare to say it.

So he simply asked directly: "How about Yuankan?"

Song Jiu couldn't speak to Liu E as if he were a mountain. In terms of love, Zhao Kuangyi liked Lao Ba the most, but Lao Ba was impossible to be the crown prince, it was too small. He was the size of Yuan Jie. However, Yuan Jie was a little poor in ethics.

How important is the national crown prince? Zhao Kuangyi is not a foolish monarch and will not inject the feeling of the crown prince. Therefore, after choosing, it is better to see who has more strengths and fewer weaknesses. Then Zhao Yuankan must be chosen.

Therefore, Zhao Yuankan is better than moving.

In particular, Zhao Yuankan’s biggest shortcoming is Liu E. I don’t know how much trouble it caused for this Liu E in the future. So Song Jiu deliberately reminded them not to meet.

However, with Song Jiu's reminder, Zhao Yuankan did another thing. Li Jilong was transferred to the northwest. Empress Li held her breath. Zhao Yuankan went to the palace to visit him, served him diligently, and deliberately looked at Zhao Kuangyi's injuries and shed tears "secretly".

I can't pretend anymore, but I can only shed tears.

This made Zhao Kuangyi feel a little sad, and he stroked his head and said, "This child."

Especially Zhao Yuankan visited Empress Li, which made Zhao Kuangyi admire him very much. Zhao Kuangyi did not use Li Jilong or Song Jiu, but if these two giants were not handled well, it would be unfavorable to hand over the state's rights, so this arrangement was made and to check the trends of the court. However, the fifth son celebrated happily in the mansion, but the third son did not respect Empress Li for "losing power". This child, if not to say anything else, had a conscience.

But his own ideas do not count, he also needs to look at the minister's ideas so that he can refer to them as a bystander's ideas.

Kou Zhun followed the river and replied, "There is no better son than father. Since Your Majesty wants to make King Xiang the crown prince, then hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible."

So Zhao Yuankan's status as crown prince was confirmed.

And he is lucky than his two brothers. He first asked Zhao Yuankan to be the Yin of Kaifeng, then changed his title to King Shou, and then made him the crown prince.

He gave the title of Crown Prince directly.

Afterwards, Liu E repeated the remarks.

It took a long time to understand why Song Jiu could conclude that Zhao Kuangyi was going to summon Kou Zhun back.

He also said that Kou Zhun's return would be beneficial to Zhao Yuankan.

If the ministers are divided, there are three factions, one neutral faction, one sympathizes with Zhao Defang's brother Zhao Tingmei and hates Zhao Defang's brothers.

Including Song Jiu, they are from the second faction.

Zhao Pu must be from the third faction.

But Xiao Kou is from the second faction, and his wife is Queen Xiao Song's sister.

However, as the prince, Yuan Jie is from the third faction and Yuan Kan is from the second faction. Even Empress Li expressed sympathy for Zhao Tingmei and Empress Song, but she didn't dare to say it.

Therefore, when Xiao Kou comes back, he will definitely support Zhao Yuankan. However, Kou Zhun's answer is very smart. He does not directly say that Zhao Yuankan is a suitable candidate. Otherwise, with Zhao Kuangyi's suspicious personality, he will develop unnecessary suspicion and become a Yuanjie. Therefore, Kou Zhun always takes the emperor's will as his will, and finally settles the overall situation.

Zhao Kuangyi was in poor health at this time and could not even hide it.

The people in the capital also heard about it, but the crown prince was hanging in the air, which made the people very worried.

So one thing happened.

Zhao Yuankan made the crown prince and wanted to go to Taimiao to pay homage to his ancestors.

The Taimiao is southeast of the imperial city, not in the imperial city, so the guards surrounded Zhao Yuankan and went to the Taimiao.

When I heard that the crown prince finally settled down, the people in the capital were relieved. Otherwise, the old emperor would die if he died. The crown prince would not be determined. That would be fine. If there were seven dragons fighting for the legitimate legacy, even Zhao Kuangyin's grandson and Zhao Tingmei's son in the middle, the country would be in chaos. The first thing that was unlucky was the people in the capital.

So they rushed to the streets to watch.

Seeing that Zhao Yuankan was only in his twenties, strong and young, and strong. Such a crown prince helped to avoid political turmoil after the emperor passed away, so he cheered one by one: "What a young emperor."

Liu E was also watching in the crowd.
