In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song army swept the world and had extremely strong combat power. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to end the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Zhao Kuangyin himself was also a genius emperor, but unfortunately he died early, and unfortunately he was the emperor by Zhao Er in an unknown way.

After Zhao Er, who was very ambitious and talented, became the emperor, the Song Empire, which was in full swing, was almost killed by him. If it took several generations of efforts to make an empire prosperous, Zhao Kuangyin had been running it all his life, but to make an empire weak, he only needed one person. This person was Zhao Er.

History is really good at joking. As Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, according to the traditional Chinese throne inheritance, even if the earth turns around, it will not be his turn. But after the sound of the candle shadow and axe, this guy got on the throne.

God is really helping the Khitan where civil strife occurred at that time!

Some people in later generations directly accused the Song Dynasty of weakness, which was caused by Zhao Er's one move, such as Di Qing, Zong Ze, and Yue Fei. Such famous generals should have been Yan Ran's stone squat or sealed with wolf Juxu, but because of the good chess set by Zhao Er, China was forced to be beaten for hundreds of years, and in the end, the Mongolians made the entire territory disappear.

Some people also say that Zhao Kuangyin himself was injustice and released the military power with a cup of wine, which led to the weakness of the Song Dynasty.

No matter what, this era is the most tragic era for famous generals.

Zong Ze was already sixty-six years old and sat in front of Zhao Huan. Although Zhao Huan felt even more at ease with this general, he could not help but feel that Zong Ze would not be able to fight for another few years, so he would still have to leave it to his younger generations.

This is a later story, Zhao Huan asked calmly: "Who is better for the two ministers, Hebei commander-in-chief?"

Li Gang said: "Report to Your Majesty, the Western Army is the most elite army in our Song Dynasty. Among the Western Army, the Zong family army has the strongest combat capability. I dared to think that the Zong army is the most suitable."

Zong Ze also said: "Your Majesty, when the Zhong family army was established, there were three generations of famous generals, and they had great military achievements. I also thought that it was appropriate for Zhong Shizhong."

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "The Yao family and the Zhong family have always fought each other. If they use Zhong Shizhong as the commander-in-chief, they may be Yao Gu who will jump up. If the passive marching is at that time, it will damage the overall situation."

Judging from the emperor's opinion, he wanted to come up with respected people who thought they could stabilize the overall situation, and could not be the family of the family of the dynasty or the Yao family.

Li Gang continued: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, you can ask for a very suitable one."

The emperor still shook his head, and He Ye, who had not spoken, said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of my uncle, it is very suitable for the old general of Zong Rulin!"

As soon as he said this, Zong Ze himself was slightly stunned, and Li Gang frowned slightly.

Zong Ze did not make any military achievements at this time, so why is he suitable to be the commander-in-chief of Hebei? Nothing makes sense!

Zhao Huan looked at He Ye with a serious look and asked, "He Qing, tell me, why is Zong Qing suitable?"

The commander-in-chief of Hebei is not an ordinary person, he is equivalent to the commander of the three towns, and he was ordered in the face of danger during the war.

"Your Majesty, when I first met General Zong, I felt that his image of the Holy Master was a god in the martial arts world, so I dared to think that General Zong was the most suitable one."

Zhao Huan cursed in his heart: You are so fucking! Why! I just like people like you who talk lies with your eyes open!

When Li Gang heard this, he immediately scolded He Ye: "As a minister, He Jingshi, he actually used the affairs of ghosts and gods to charm the emperor. This is an act of disaster to the country!"

He Ye was said by Li Gang, but his face was not changed and his heart was not beating. He looked like he was not painful or itchy. His face was extremely thick.

He Ye is now a loyal dog arranged by Zhao Huan to disgust the ministers in the court. If Zhao Huan wants him to bite, he will definitely open his sharp teeth and mouth without hesitation.

Similarly, the emperor now clearly wants to value Zong Ze, otherwise I will be the chief of the Censorate, and you, Li Gang, are the Privy Councilors, and you are still standing when you meet the emperor, but Zong Ze is sitting.

This kind of treatment has never appeared since the beginning of the court.

I don’t recommend Zong Ze, do you recommend Li Gang?

Li Gang, are you blind? The emperor asked you what you said, is it really asking for your opinion? This official has already had a candidate in his heart, but because you are the Privy Councilor, respect you and give you some face. You are still fucking excited.

"Mr. Li, this is a bad word. The lower-ranking official is recommending a general to Your Majesty. Why has he become a charming villain?"

He Ye spoke righteously on his face, but cursed in his heart: Li Gang, you idiot, don’t be ungrateful!

Zhao Huan glanced at Zong Ze and said shamelessly: "Hey, I look at Zong Qing, and I actually think it's like a Martial Saint. I think it's feasible!"

"Your Majesty, I do not have prejudice against the old general Zong, but think that the commander-in-chief of Hebei is of great importance and needs to be selected to take responsibility for it!"

Zong Ze also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what Prince Li said is so good, what is the old minister capable of? If he sits in the position of commander-in-chief, he will probably not be able to convince the public."

Zhao Huan knocked on the table with his finger and said, "It's better to do this. I ordered Zongqing to be the prefect of Cizhou. You can go to Cizhou to form troops and support Hebei!"

"Your Majesty, the Jin thieves will arrive in Bianjing soon. I am willing to stay in Bianjing to kill the Jin thieves!"

"I have a trick to kill him, just Wanyan Zongwang, so don't worry too much, just go to Hebei with peace of mind!"

Seeing that Zhao Huan was so confident, Zong Ze did not dare to say anything more, and immediately said, "I accept the order!"

Zhao Huan then said, "I want to form a new army, so it is better to start with Zong Qing."

"Thank you for your trust, I am so determined that I will never refuse!"

Li Gang has nothing to say now. Li Gang has no other intentions. In fact, in history, after meeting Zong Ze, he had a good impression of Zong Ze. The reason why he opposed Zong Ze as the commander-in-chief of Hebei was indeed only based on the consideration of the matter itself.

Zhao Huan did intend to let Zong Ze be the commander-in-chief, because in the entire Song Dynasty, there were only two people who fought with the Jin army and fought the Jin army so much that they cried, one Zong Ze and the other Yue Fei.

Yue Fei is only twenty-three years old now, who else does not need Zong Ze to use?

Moreover, he also thought about putting Yue Fei in Zongze's troops and honing him well.

But in the current situation, it is indeed not appropriate to directly appoint Zong Ze, so it is better to let him go to Cizhou to form a military horse by himself according to the development of history. Anyway, Zhao Gou's evil spirit has been transferred to Hangzhou and will not appear on the battlefield of Song and Jin, so there is no need to worry that Zong Ze and Yue Fei will be delayed by Zhao Gou.

After Li Gang and Zong Ze left, He Ye also retreated on his own. He Ye guessed in his heart that if the emperor wanted to rectify the imperial guards, he would start to support a new military force, which started with this veteran general Zong Ze.

What did the emperor think? This veteran general Zongze did not make great achievements. Instead, he was demoted before, his career was not smooth, and he was 60 or 6 years old. Why did he suddenly find such a person? Such a person can win a battle?

He Ye really felt that the new emperor's mind was too jumpy and he didn't play according to common sense.

If he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. He was just a censor. The censor's responsibility was to help the emperor supervise all officials. Now his responsibility was clearer. Zhao Huan must confront whoever he was unhappy.

He is responsible for the retort, and the Imperial City Department is responsible for the chopping.

Since the founding of this dynasty, the Censorate and the Imperial City Department have never been used by the emperor to cooperate in this way.
