Chapter 202 Fan Zhongyan
As a result, on the second day, Zhao Zhi of Western Xia was only in Xixia for only one day. On the second day, he returned to the Song Dynasty with 100,000 troops, and handed over Xixia to Liu Yong and the Song Dynasty imperial guards who left behind 400,000.
Tubo still needed Ye Sila to take charge, so Ye Sila led 200,000 troops back, and Zhao Zhi also led 100,000 troops back as bodyguards. As a result, he brought Fan Zhongyan with him after passing through the northwest border of the original Great Song Dynasty.
Riding a horse? Although Zhao Zhi also learned how to ride a horse, he felt it was too tired, so he took a carriage. As long as he kept rushing, he could return to the city of Bianjing, the Song Dynasty within one day.
As for war horses, the Western Xia and Song dynasties had their own horse farm, especially the 100,000 cavalry of the Liao Kingdom. The 100,000 cavalry were not just one person and one horse, but basically one person and two horses.
Therefore, Zhao Zhi brought back one hundred thousand cavalry, and when he ran, he was completely like the earth shaking, and even the army was not afraid of siege and killing.
Then a hundred thousand troops roared past like a torrent, and the guards were just a carriage, with Zhao Zhi sitting on the carriage and Fan Zhongyan who was rushed to the northwest by the empress dowager.
But obviously a while later, Fan Zhongyan also recognized his position. He was a junior official in front of Prime Minister Wang Yanying, and he also wanted to call himself a junior official in front of Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhize couldn't help but feel excited. His own era is coming, and everything that is blocking him will be crushed into pieces by his own torrent of Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhi: "Brother Fan, I should let you take charge of Xiazhou. Do you think Liu Yong can be optimistic about Xiazhou?"
Fan Zhongyan sweated slightly and simply deserved the title of Brother Fan of Zhao Zhi. The obvious natural Zhao Zhi had already occupied the upper throne. The magistrate of a state actually passed the empress dowager at will, and the emperor appointed him, and no one dared to say anything.
What is the difference between such a Supreme Emperor of Song and the Emperor of Song?
Fan Zhongyan was a little puzzled, but he wouldn't say it directly, so he said seriously: "Although Brother Liu has no experience in managing a state, there are 400,000 elite imperial guards in Xiazhou, so there will be no problems, which is enough to shock the Uighurs in Xizhou and the Liao Kingdom."
Zhao Zhi nodded: "That's right, the Uighur was originally suppressed and beaten by Li Yuanhao. Now that I have eliminated Li Yuanhao, I will only escape one Wuzang Epang, which is still a disaster after all.
But at this time, my imperial guards from the Song Dynasty were in charge of Xiazhou, and I had already ordered Liu Yong to recruit troops from Xiazhou on the spot. I thought that Wuzang Epang could not make any waves anymore. The Liao Kingdom also needed to lick the wounds and could be relaxed for a while."
Fan Zhongyan: "What the lord said is."
Zhao Zhi was already standing at the end of the pyramid of the Song Dynasty, and there was no need to be humble anymore, so he dared not call him humble.
Zhao Zhi: "I think so too. There was really no one around me at that time, but Liu Yong could still trust him, so he simply asked him to be the governor of Xiazhou for the time being. It would be fine if he had no experience. Brother Fan knows why I brought you with me?"
Fan Zhongyan immediately said respectfully: "I don't know."
Fan Zhongyan claimed to himself as a subordinate. Even if Zhao Zhi was unwilling to be humble, he was still a little uncomfortable. Of course, if he was not used to it, he would always become a habit. He was already holding the entire Song Dynasty, and no matter how humble he was, he was hypocritical.
So Zhao Zhi simply agreed to Fan Zhongyan's subordinate, saying, "It's just for the question you are thinking about."
Fan Zhongyan was confused. What was his own problem? What was his own problem?
So he simply asked directly: "I wonder what the adults are talking about?"
Zhao Zhi deliberately smiled mysteriously: "Worry about the world before worrying, and then enjoying the world after joy. I think Brother Fan has already begun to worry about the world before worrying, which is the problem that Brother Fan usually worrys about my Song Dynasty."
Finally, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't help but feel shocked and disbelief. He hadn't told anyone about the problem he was worried about, how could Zhao Zhi know?
On the surface, he was shocked and bowed, "What the officials are worried about in their daily lives is how should I clarify the administration of the officials and strictly enforce the rule of law. How can the great masters know what the officials are worried about?"
I was also deliberately trying. Is this Lord Zhao really so scary? I even know what I was thinking?
However, if you don’t want to finish your words, Zhao Zhi really nodded. How can I not know? Worrying about the world is what you said. Not only do I know your reforms, but I also know that you will lose, lose all your fault and be disgraceful.
But he spoke again, "Just because I know that Brother Fan is a person who is really worried about the world before, so I guess what Brother Fan thinks is that it is the clarification of the administration of the government and the strict implementation of the rule of law. I am ready to support you in reform and reform;
Originally, the reform you thought was doomed to fail, and would fail miserably, and eventually even lose his reputation. But now if I support you, I think you can succeed.”
In an instant, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but be excited, and his heart trembled again and said respectfully: "If you can clarify the administration of the Song Dynasty, your subordinates will not be afraid of being disgraced, and you can also help your subordinates with the help of your subordinates."
Zhao Zhi smiled and said, "Since I have brought you with me, I will secretly help you. But first say good things, you should be bad people, I should be good people, you should be responsible for carrying the firepower and dirty water of officials in the Song Dynasty, and I will follow them to shout and kill you.
Well, but what should be changed will continue to change, and what should be changed must continue to change. Just make the reforms silence. When you go back, I will talk to the Empress Dowager for you and give you a political affairs. Just think about how to change."
Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but feel excited and his body trembled slightly. With Fan Zhongyan's qualifications, he really couldn't resist it.
It was Zhan Zhao who drove the carriage outside, and he couldn't help but be weird when he heard it.
This Lord Zhao is really different from others. He asked Fan Zhongyan to go through reform and reform, secretly supporting and assisting Fan Zhongyan. On the surface, he scolded Fan Zhongyan with all officials, but even if Fan Zhongyan did not punish him, it was exactly what Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but be excited.
Although Zhao Zhi was not the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he was no different from the emperor of the Song Dynasty. It was obvious that Zhao Zhi was not a person who was full of good fortune and never treated his confidant unfairly.
But when Fan Zhongyan heard this, he was excited and couldn't help but sweat slightly, "Sir, I'm just thinking about it for the time being, and I don't have a clear idea where to start."
Obviously, Fan Zhongyan didn’t know, but wanted to ask Zhao Zhi where he wanted to become?
Only by asking clearly can you change. Otherwise, if Zhao Zhi doesn't want to change, then he will feel uncomfortable. Zhao Zhi is not a foolish monarch, and he always kills people silently.
