When Li Guang and his two hearts were shocked when they heard the knock on the door.

Li Guang stood up, and Li's wife was already heading towards the gate of the courtyard.

Li's wife opened the gate of the courtyard and saw a group of people standing at their door. Among the group, many of them were wearing black armor and were soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and Qin Hui and Zhao Ding were among them. In addition to them, there was also a young man standing there. The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a dragon robe and a faint smile on his face.

"Friendly women, please see Your Majesty!" Li's wife immediately recognized this person's identity! In today's Song Dynasty, after Zhao Gou died, there was only one person left to wear such clothes, that is Emperor Xuanwu who unified the Song Dynasty!

Li's wife was shocked. She didn't expect Zhao Chen to come to her home.

At this moment, Li Guang had already seen Zhao Chen. Li Guang was also shocked and hurriedly came forward, then immediately fell to the ground.

"My minister Li Guang, please see Your Majesty!" Li Guang said hurriedly.

"Let's just flat." Zhao Chen said.

Li Guang and Li's wife stood up, Zhao Chen's eyes turned towards Li Guang and looked carefully. He found that although Li Guang was not young, nearly sixty, Li Guang did not show much sign of old age. It seemed that he was like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Li Guang was also secretly looking at Zhao Chen. In his opinion, Zhao Chen was energetic and far better than the former Song Huizong and Song Qinzong. Zhao Chen's eyes were extremely firm and confident. This was the first time he saw someone with such a firm and confident look.

"Your Majesty, please sit down!" Li's wife had already reacted. At this moment, Li's wife hurriedly brought a chair from the house and placed it in front of Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen did not sit down, but just looked at Li Guang and smiled, "I came here this time, mainly to ask Lord Li to come out to help me with work! Our Song Dynasty has been divided for almost six years. In the past six years, due to the division, the people of the world have also encountered a lot of suffering! Zhao Gou collected heavy taxes in Jiangnan, and he used all the funds he obtained to be used in the civil war, rather than fighting with the Jurchens! The world is unified and everything is in trouble, and he needs a talent like Lord Li to help me!"

Li Guang was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhao Chen would speak so directly.

After thinking for a moment, Li Guangdao: "I want to know Your Majesty's ambition?"

"My ambition is naturally to recover the Central Plains and revive the Song Dynasty! After the Central Plains, the next step is to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and conquer Liaodong and other places! In addition, I want to establish a fair system so that the elderly can have a life of life, the strong can have something to use, and the young can have a strength, so that everyone in the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and use the goods and do their best! I want our Han civilization to spread all directions and be respected by all directions, just like the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and even surpass the prosperous Tang Dynasty!" Zhao Chen said.

Li Guang lowered his head, but there was a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"What? Lord Li thinks there is something wrong?" Zhao Chen said.

"Recovering the Central Plains and reviving the Song Dynasty, these Your Majesties may still do it! As for the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and conquering Liaodong and other places, this Your Majesty may not be able to do it! As for the words that followed, it is extremely ridiculous! Even the Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the past dare not say such words! Your Majesty thinks, can you surpass Taizu, Taizong?" Li Guang asked.

This time, Zhao Chen was silent for a long time.

"I think I can surpass Taizu and Taizong!" Finally, Zhao Chen said.

"What!" Li Guang stayed there all of a sudden.

Qin Hui and Zhao Ding also stayed there.

All three of them thought Zhao Chen was extremely arrogant.

Song Taizu and Song Taizong were two founding emperors of the Song Dynasty. They had outstanding achievements and were admired by the world! No one dared to arrogantly say that he could surpass Taizu and Taizong! What's more, Zhao Chen was a descendant of Song Taizong, a descendant of Song Taizong. As a descendant, how could he say such things? How could he say that he surpassed his ancestors? This was completely inconsistent with the filial piety of the ancients!

Zhao Guang wanted to accuse Zhao Chen, thinking that Zhao Chen's words were blasphemy of his ancestors. At this moment, Zhao Chen spoke.

"I will naturally surpass Taizu, Taizong! I will make greater achievements than Taizu, Taizong, and let our Han civilization be at the peak of the world again! Not only that, I also hope that my descendants can surpass me! I hope that our Song Dynasty will be stronger than our generation! We cannot say things that surpass our ancestors just because we are children and grandchildren! If we dare not surpass our ancestors, if we are not as good as our generation, our Song Dynasty will be worse and worse, and our Han people will be worse and worse! Like the things that we faced over the years that almost destruction of the country will happen! Throughout the years, hundreds of years and decades will be destroyed in the end. One reason is that the descendants of the royal family are worse than our generation and the country is becoming increasingly declining. I don't want our Song Dynasty to be the same. If I say such words today, I hope that my descendants can also say without any scruples in the future." At this moment, Zhao Chen spoke.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, Li Guang was speechless.

"Your Majesty is right! Only when one generation is better than another can our Song Dynasty become stronger and the Han people become stronger and stronger." After a while, Zhao Ding spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty has the ambition to surpass Taizu and Taizong, and Weimin and others naturally assist Your Majesty in fulfilling such ambition." Qin Hui had already spoken immediately at this moment.

Zhao Chen stood there with a faint smile on his face and his eyes were full of confidence.

Li Guang looked at Zhao Chen, and he suddenly felt that Zhao Chen was full of indescribable courage.

Such a spirit is far better than that of Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, and Zhao Gou. In the past, neither Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, nor Zhao Gou could have said such words. They would never dare to say that they would surpass Taizu. If Taizong said such words, they thought from the bottom of their hearts that it would be difficult for them to surpass Taizu Taizong.

Although it was just a few words, Li Guang had already felt that there was a huge difference between Zhao Chen and Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, Zhao Gou and others.

Li Guang was originally worried that Zhao Chen was the legitimate grandson of Song Huizong and the legitimate son of Song Qinzong. He was worried that he was the same as those two emperors, but now it seems to be completely different.

"The Central Plains are still under the occupation of Jurchens. Jiangnan has just been recovered, but it is not stable now. Many places in the Central Plains are still suffering from life. The country is in danger. Everyone is competing for the first place! Lord Li, I ask you again, are you willing to help me?" Zhao Chen said again.

"I am willing!" Li Guang finally spoke.

"Okay! That's great!" Zhao Chen was overjoyed.

He studied the official documents of the Secretariat these days and found that Zhao Ding, Qin Hui and Li Guang were outstanding in the Jiangnan court. Zhao Ding was good at managing finances. Over the years, Zhao Gou was entrusted with heavy taxes, but Jiangnan was basically stable, which was mainly Zhao Ding's contribution. Qin Hui had rich experience in handling political affairs, which made Zhao Gou's court always stable. As for Li Guang, he was good at employed people and promoted a lot of talents. Moreover, Li Guang served as the Minister of Personnel many times, with many disciples and disciples, and had a wide connection, even surpassing Qin Hui and Zhao Ding.

At this moment, Li's wife brought a few more stools, and the guards helped to move a small table out, and Zhao Chen asked everyone to sit down.

"Li Aiqing, I am going to appoint you as the Minister of Pacification of Fujian and Guangdong, and to promote the Pacification of Fujian and Guangdong and other places. Are you willing to go?" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen is willing to go! Several of our disciples are all in Fujian and Guangdong, and they will also assist us." Li Guangdao.

"Okay! Zhao Aiqing, you serve as the appeasement minister of Lianghuai Road and preside over the affairs of Lianghuai!" Zhao Chen said.

"I accept the order! However, Your Majesty, there are many bandits on both Huai Road, so you must first eliminate these bandits." Zhao Ding said.

"This is simple. After the Dongting Lake bandits were wiped out, I ordered Wu Jie to lead a large army north to wipe out the bandits in both Huaihe Rivers." Zhao Chen said.

Over the years, the world has been in chaos. In addition to the rebel army, there are countless bandits. Of course, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between the rebel army and the bandits. The more famous bandits in the two Huai Rivers are Li Cheng, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and others. In history, these bandits were wiped out by Yue Fei. However, in this era, Yue Fei was no longer in Jiangnan, so naturally there was no trouble of suppressing bandits. The bandits in the two Huai Rivers are still very serious.

"Because of the serious bandits, the people in the two Huaihe Rivers suffered a lot! When Emperor Jianyan was in power that day, I advised Emperor Jianyan to suppress the bandits, but Emperor Jianyan only wanted to destroy Your Majesty, and turned a blind eye to those bandits. Alas! I hope Your Majesty can eliminate those bandits as soon as possible." Zhao Chen sighed softly and said.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he looked at Qin Hui again and said, "Qin Aiqing, you are the minister of Henan to appease the minister and be responsible for the promotion of Kaifeng, Shangqiu and other places in Henan."

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens invaded, and the population in Henan and other places withered. There may not be many families within more than a hundred miles now! When I arrived in Henan, it is probably difficult for me to restore the original scene in Henan." Qin Hui said.

"Although Henan has withered its population, it has also been free of a lot of land! After you arrive in Henan, you will be responsible for checking the land! These vacant lands will belong to the state in the future! After the Jurchens in Henan are completely cleared, I will find a way to divide the land." Zhao Chen said.

"Divid it? Could it be the meritorious officials?" Qin Hui was stunned and said.

"No, it is distributed to ordinary people! I have an idea in my mind. We can encourage the people from Jiangnan, Sichuan and Sichuan to go to Henan and Central Plains! Those unowned land, as long as someone is willing to farm, will all belong to that family in five or ten years! If someone in their family has joined the army, it only takes two or three years to sow the land belongs to them! In this way, a large number of people will inevitably go to all parts of the Central Plains, and the population in all parts of the Central Plains can also be restored quickly." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it's a pity to allocate that much land to the people." Qin Hui hesitated for a moment and said.

"It would be a pity that if you don't give it to the people, you will be abandoned there." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, those lands can be owned by the royal family and rented to the people." Qin Hui said.

"What do the royal family want so much land to do? As an emperor, everything in the world belongs to me. Do you still have to seize land with the people?" Zhao Chen said lightly.

Qin Hui nodded.

"Your Majesty, who will leave the land of Jiangnan to manage?" Zhao Ding said.

"In the near future, Li Gang will come to Jiangnan! He is my teacher and the prime minister appointed by me! Over the years, I have fought with the Jurchens in front of me. All the political and civil affairs of Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan were left to him for treatment. He handled them in an orderly manner. Now, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan are far better than before! I believe he can handle the affairs of Jiangnan well! Of course, I will also take them in Jiangnan for a period of time until the situation in Jiangnan is completely stable, and I will not leave here." Zhao Chen said.

"When the two emperors were in power, Li Gang and Lord Li were already well-known in the world and far better than us! If he came to Jiangnan, he would definitely be able to handle the affairs of Jiangnan well! Your Majesty, at that time, should we also obey Lord Li's orders?" At this time, Li Guangdao.

"No need for this! You all belong to the commander of the Military Affairs Office! Important matters in Fujian, Guangdong, Huaihe, and Henan must be reported to the Military Affairs Office! I will personally handle the matter you reported!" Zhao Chen said.

When they heard Zhao Chen's words, Qin Hui, Zhao Ding and Li Guang were all slightly shocked. They had heard of the Military Affairs Office as an organization, and knew that the Military Affairs Office had great power, almost obsolete the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor. If the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor were not the Military Affairs Office, they would have almost no power. Now it seems that this is true. The Military Affairs Office has no rank and has no affiliation with each other. Everything is appointed by the emperor and the emperor can be revoked at any time. It can be said that the Military Affairs Office is completely under the control of the emperor alone.

With this Military Affairs Office, no one can control the will of the emperor, and the emperor can truly make arbitrary decision.

At this moment, the three people felt the huge difference between the Zhao Chen court and the Zhao Gou court. Not only were the differences in emperors, but the systems were also very different.
