Chapter 269: Fire Refining Real Gold Part 1
"...My vilified son is really lawless. He still doesn't repent when he reaches his current point. ▲∴ Not only do he want to plunder and take away, but he also wants to ask the enthronement of the North to recruit ambassadors, Liaodong, Haidong Jiedushi, Goryeo Supervisor, and Han King."
In Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Yun was still sitting on the imperial throne, listening to Chen Huaiqing's speech expressionlessly.
The ministers in the palace all looked glad that they had lived after the disaster. They no longer dared to think about the law of their ancestors and generals, and did not dare to restore the former majesty of the Song Dynasty. They only wanted to send Chen Dexing away, the deceased god! What are the ambassadors in the north, what are the governors of Liaodong, Haidong, Goryeo, and Han kings... What can they not be enfeoffed? Even if he wants to be the emperor of Liaodong, what has anything to do with the Song Dynasty?
As for the resurgence of the Five Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, it was nothing big. Anyway, the military officials of Lianghuai, Sichuan, and Jinghu must regard the court as nothing. The appointment of them as Jiedu is just to admit the reality! Besides, there is nothing wrong with letting a bunch of Jiedus lead the Lianghuai, Jinghu and Sichuan front lines! As long as Jiangnan Fifth Road and Guangnan East Road are still in the hands of the court, the wealth of everyone will be guaranteed - in fact, from a financial perspective, the ten pacifiers of Lianghuai, Jinghu, Sichuan and Guangnan West Road are all financial black holes that cannot be filled!
The Song Dynasty court would plunder tens of millions of 100 million (including taxes and the property purchased by indiscriminately issuing paper money) from Jiangnan Fifth Road and Guangnan East Road to fill in those bottomless pits. One of the things that could be really used in practice is that the generals from the border areas had conscience.
Instead of doing so, it is better to distribute the territory to the generals and let them manage it themselves. The population controlled by the Hanhou in the Northern Land was far less wealthy than the generals on the front line of the Song Dynasty. However, the military power they supported was far greater than that of the entire Song Dynasty. The army of the four kings of the host sects were actually maintained by the wealth provided by the Hanhou in the Northern Land!
In terms of the efficiency of operating territory, the centralization of the Southern Song Dynasty was completely defeated by the Mongolian feudal division! In the case that the Song Dynasty was obviously unable to control the princes in the border towns, adopting the actual feudal system - the actual feudal system - the actual feudal government is also a way out.
At least these real sealed military governors will operate their territory and army more efficiently, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the court's finances.
Emperor Lizong sighed and said in a low voice: "Then I will grant Chen Dexing the ambassador to recruit the North, the governor of the Liaodong, the governor of the Korean king, the prince-in-law of the prince-in-law, and the king of Han..." He glanced at Chen Huaiqing powerlessly: "Chen Aiqing, you should be satisfied with this, right?"
I am satisfied, should I go as far as I can? Everyone in the hall looked at Chen Huaiqing.
"Your Majesty," Chen Huaiqing slowed down his voice, "My rebellious son still has three conditions. First, kill the real gold, Hao Jing, Dou Mo, and Liang Chongru; second, abolish the use of literature to obtain scholars, and implement the use of martial arts to obtain scholars..."
When the ministers in the hall heard this, they looked at each other and said nothing.
Chen Huaiqing sighed and said earnestly: "Everything in the world is unchanging, and there is no law of ancestors that will last forever. For example, the law of ancestors' commanders cannot be implemented now... My son dares to take charge of the capital with only 3,000 soldiers, and force the emperor to force the emperor. What should the law of ancestors do? There are more than 100,000 scholars in the capital, but one person is wearing a strong and holding a sharp sword to fight against him? The three yamen's imperial soldiers were in charge of the sect for a hundred years. How many chaotic soldiers will be injured this time? Now the country has no soldiers, no generals in the court, and if there are any disobedient officials in the four vassal states, what should I do? The scholars in Jiangnan have been favored by the country for 300 years. Shouldn't they practice martial arts to defend the court?"
After saying that, Chen Huaiqing raised his head and looked at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Wu Qian and Jia Sidao. Both of them nodded slightly - Chen Dexing's 3,000 elite soldiers were in Chaotianmen. What else is the reason to say? If he wants to use martial arts to win the soldiers, he can win the soldiers with martial arts. At worst, he can wait until Chen Dexing goes to Haidong before changing it back!
Emperor Lizong sighed: "I am all right! From today on, the Song Dynasty will no longer regard literature as a priority. In addition to the fifth route of Jiangnan, the second route of Guangnan, and the south route of Jinghu, there are all military governors who have full authority to govern! The imperial examinations also use martial arts to win military skills. Assess the classics of Confucius and Mencius..."
Lizong added the scriptures of Confucius and Mencius after martial arts and military tactics, which could be considered an explanation for the scholars of Jiangnan - he had been the emperor for decades. Of course, he knew that the foundation of the Song Dynasty regime was the Jiangnan rich family who passed on poetry and rituals! These Jiangnan rich families had no military traditions because they were in the rear for a long time. If the court used martial arts to win the soldiers, how could the children of Jiangnan rich families compete with the generals in the front line? This used martial arts to win the soldiers is a declaration of war on the Jiangnan rich families!
In this battle, Chen Dexing dared to promulgate, and generals who were respectful in various places dared to promulgate. Anyway, the wealthy families in Jiangnan could not reach them, but the Song Dynasty court did not dare to do so. If they did this, the court would lose the support of the wealthy families in Jiangnan. The vassal states in all directions would not give up separatist rule, and the court would not rely on a few "Wu Jinshi" to defeat those vassal states...
The purpose of Chen Dexing's efforts was to provoke a dispute between civil and military affairs in the Song Dynasty! He wanted to use martial arts and slight literature to fight against the Song Dynasty's court's respect for civil and military affairs! He wanted to place himself above the position of warrior spokesperson!
Emperor Lizong finally looked at Chen Huaiqing: "As for Zhen Jin, Hao Jing, Dou Mo and others, they are all my guests, and I cannot harm them. They are now in the Ministry of Rites' Courtyard. I have someone open the Chaotian Gate. You Chen family will deal with it by themselves! This is how, is it okay?"
"There is a third condition..."
There are conditions!? It's so hateful! Emperor Lizong suppressed his anger: "Tell me, what are the conditions?"
"Then the rebellious son wants to ask Mr. Jia to go out to discuss the aftermath." Chen Huaiqing said slowly.
"After care..." Emperor Lizong exclaimed his anger. The meaning of the aftermath was probably how to step down - this time the matter was really a bit big! We have to discuss how to step down. But it is difficult to do it. Chen Dexing's traitor was determined, and he had never escaped after being slandered for thousands of years! The face of the Song Dynasty was gone, and all the vassal states in all directions knew that the so-called center was actually an empty air without force...
"Jia Aiqing," Li Zong looked at Jia treacherous minister with a bitter look on his face, "When Chen Dexing withdrew from Chaotianmen, you go and discuss with Chen Dexing how to clean up the situation."
...
"District, Your Highness... the gate of the sky is open!"
Hao Jing's trembling voice sounded in the ears of Prince Zhenjin, as if the death sentence was announced. When the cannon sound came, the decent real gold, which was still maintained, suddenly fell down and sat in the attic of the concierge courtyard.
"Chen... Chen's thief's soldiers are coming in?" Prince Zhenjin asked unwillingly.
"Come in!" Hao Jing also collapsed, and slowly sat on the floor holding the wall, smiling bitterly, "Your Highness, in fact, we are actually worthy of our mission this time. Our mission... has been achieved! Chen Dexing was angry with the Guan and made trouble for the Hongyan, and Lin forced the Southern Barbarian court to death, and forced the foreign envoys to death... Such a lawless thing was to destroy the prestige of the Southern Barbarian court and no longer be able to command the people. The Southern Barbarians must have a rebellion in the vassal state. The Khan had no worries now..."
What's this? I've traveled thousands of miles to let Chen Dexing kill him!? This is also worthy of his mission? Even if he does not disappoint his mission, what if he does not disappoint his mission? His life is sent away. Even if his father Khan will dominate the world in the future, the Khan throne will be inherited by others, and he has no money to do with him! Isn't this life a waste?
After all, the True Golden Prince is a 17 or 18-year-old boy, and he has always lived a pampered life. How can he accept the fact that he will be killed immediately? He burst into tears with a wow.
"I, I don't want to die! I won't marry any princess anymore, and I don't know her. Why did I sacrifice my life for her? I don't want to die... Mr. Hao, go and tell Chen Dexing quickly, let him let me return to the north. I am willing to pay 10,000, no, 30,000 horses to redeem my life!"
"Your Highness!" Zhenjin's teacher Dou Mo was still calm. He grabbed Zhenjin who was crying and said to him that death is as heavy as Mount Tai. But Hao Jing struggled to get up.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I'll talk to Chen Dexing!" He winked at Dou Mo, "Please order all the guards to retreat to this pavilion and persevere. No matter what happens, don't come out."
"Okay, okay, listen to all sir!" Zhen Jin was like a drowning man who grabbed a life-saving straw, how could he not listen to Hao Jing's richness. He hurriedly ordered all the guards and followers to squeeze into the pavilion where he was.
Hao Jing also took the initiative to go out, put on his clothes and then left the gate of the concierge courtyard, standing alone on the imperial street, waiting for the arrival of the winner.
"Hao Jing?" Chen Dexing rode his horse before the soldiers, and saw a somewhat devastated northern scholar. "But Zhenjin sent you to be a lobbyist?"
Hao Jing looked coldly: "The mission of the Zhenjin Prince coming to the south has been completed. The general has rebelled against the capital and has already cut himself off the world. The power of the Southern Dynasty has been ruined, and the princes from all directions will inevitably take advantage of the situation. The melee between the vassal states is right in front of him." He punched the north, "The Khan has no worries. He will soon be able to sweep the north to fight against Alibuge, and then rush his army to the south. All of them are the vassal states of the Southern Dynasty, and the Great Mongolian attacks outside. How can there be a reason for not perishing?"
While speaking, Hao Jing suddenly laughed a few times: "Chen Dexing, don't you think that you can follow Cao Mengde with just 20,000 troops hostages and command the princes, right?"
