Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen Yongxi Northern Expedition

Wu Lin refused to go out. Zhao Yan, who had just ascended the throne, was dizzy. He actively looked for the sunny side and found that there was still something to be gained.For example, he discovered Yu Yunwen. This person proved the miracle of Caishiji before. This is not an accidental phenomenon, but a real insight. Yu Yunwen has since entered the decision-making level of the Southern Song Dynasty. After July in the 32nd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1162), Zhao Wei cheered up and began to implement his plans to transform the empire one by one. The first is to purify the air.

For so many years, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty have been oppressed by Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, and they are full of evil atmospheres such as shady, embezzlement, corruption, and servility.On a spiritual level, this empire is already a huge dump! Zhao Yan is very smart, he did two things to reverse the situation.First, rehabilitate Yue Fei.At this time, twenty-one years have passed since the Fengboting case, and Yue Fei's injustice is known to the whole world, but no one can do anything about it.The same is true for Zhao Yan, who once met Yue Fei in Zishan Academy when he was fourteen years old.It was that meeting that made Yue Fei overjoyed, thinking that Jiangshan was the man, he turned around and suggested to Zhao Gou to establish the crown prince as soon as possible.

As a result, Zhao Gou felt murderous. Thirty-five-year-old Zhao Yan looked back at his past and missed this hero from the bottom of his heart. He was a gift from heaven to the Song Dynasty.He ordered to restore Yue Fei's reputation, official position, and fief, and took the family members of Yue Fei and his son back to their original places.They finally found Yue Fei's bones in the tomb with two orange trees at the foot of the North Mountain of Jiuqu Cong Temple outside the Qiantang Gate in the northwest of Lin'an City. The hero was relocated and buried grandly by the officials, and Zhao Wei built a temple and shrine for Yue Fei with a huge sum of millions of dollars, and named it "The Shrine of Loyalty and Martyrs".

Qin Hui's lackeys who participated in the frame-up of Yue Fei's injustice back then will all be punished if they are still alive, and those who are dead - just die! Second, rehabilitate and expand. People who were persecuted by Qin Hui's party in the past two decades, such as Li Guang, Zhao Ding, Fan Chong, Zhu Zhen, Xin Ciying, Hu Quan, etc., had their honors restored.Those who were dead were chased, and those who were still alive went to Beijing to join the political team of the new dynasty and jointly reform the country. These people are the key targets of Qin Hui, and the common people are the general targets of Qin Hui. Zhao Yun promoted the key targets, so the emotions of the general targets quickly rose.

The national sense of justice and honor has returned.Zhao Yan's nightmare also began.These people basically go to work in the official departments such as Yushitai. Maybe they have successfully cultivated during the long-term exile, or maybe the excessive persecution has upgraded their sense of justice and dignity, and these people’s spirits have become super. Exuberant, from the beginning of work, go all out - pick faults. Just one example. An official suggested to Zhao Yan to increase the number of speakers. Zhao Yun blurted out and said something in his heart: "The scholar-bureaucrats who have recently left the factory are too arrogant and conceited. Easy!"

The official immediately lowered his face and began to educate the new emperor: "It is the legal right of a scholar-bureaucrat to speak out, and you must accept it, and you must accept it from the heart with joy and enjoyment. Only in this way can the country hope to be prosperous and strong. " Zhao Yun was silent. The official went down. This matter was heard by Hu Quan.Hu Quan was a celebrity among this group of martyrs, and he was also the spiritual leader of the Yanguan at this time.He was worried that the team was not strong enough, and when he heard that Zhao Yan objected, is that okay?

Hu Quan immediately went into the palace and questioned the emperor: "Did you say that just now? Did you really say that? Why did you say that?" Zhao Yan felt that he had committed a lot of sins, that he was really dark and ugly, and was deceived by the inferior lard, so he apologized again and again, saying that his original intention was not that way, after all, most of the officials are good.He just hoped that in the future, when everyone talks about things, they will discuss the matter as it stands, and don't play it too casually - please don't misunderstand them! The emperor talked about this, and Hu Quan's overly sensitive heart due to long-term torture was also a little embarrassed, and he left in satisfaction.

The next day, another angry Yanguan arrived.The speech officer seriously asked the emperor to explain what the previous remarks meant.Zhao Yun recounted it in a very good temper, and emphasized that he did not dislike Yan Zhijian, the official.He said: "Look, Ai Qing, isn't that what you're doing? I'm very happy. I just said, have something to say, don't lose your temper." What a polite emperor! Unexpectedly, the speaker was even more angry. The official believed that the emperor simply refused to mend his ways and avoided serious words.What does it mean to have something to say?What is right and wrong?The bounden duty of the speaker is to ask questions but not answer them, to find faults but not to correct them, to do things regardless of the consequences!If you care about whether the counselor's advice is reasonable, and regard the reasonable one as due diligence, and the unreasonable one is arrogant, it is no different from rejecting the advice.

It's a bit preposterous! Zhao Yan's reaction was to stand up and pay his respects very seriously.The above incident does not prove that Zhao Yan has masochistic tendencies, or that he has been suppressed by Zhao Gou for a long time, and has a hobby of being suppressed.He is very normal and sensible, knowing that even if the attitudes of these officials are questionable and their views are incorrect, the current Southern Song Empire needs this kind of people. The officialdom in the Southern Song Dynasty was rotten, and the economy was about to collapse.Corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, and the people were squeezed to the point that there were uprisings almost every year.If this continues, the country will perish from within. What is the talk of regaining the homeland and going back to the north?

So Zhao Yan is enduring, even if he doesn't agree, he must support these people to continue to do it, help him clean up the country, restore the national strength in the shortest time, so as to support his dream of the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition needed the army, and the army was in urgent need of reform.Wan Yanliang's invasion of the South sounded the alarm bell for the Southern Song Dynasty's demise. After surviving, many things that had not been noticed before surfaced. There are desperate ones, such as senior generals.Take Ye Yiwen, the top commander on the front line, as an example. This man was so stupid that someone reported to him: "The Jin army has added new troops recently."

He asked suspiciously: "What kind of soldiers are raw soldiers? Are there still experienced soldiers?" Every idiot knows that raw soldiers are fresh troops!As for being shameless, it was even more exciting. He left the troops on the front line and fled back to the rear alone.And after everything was over, he could return to work in Lin'an city triumphantly without any punishment. What kind of army, what kind of world is this? Zhao Yun dismissed Ye Yiwen for investigation, and sent him to Raozhou (now Poyang, Jiangxi) as an editor.Da looked relieved, but it didn't matter to the overall situation.May I ask that the whole country's army is a problem, what role can a commander play if it is dealt with? The problem is like a wasteland in spring, overgrown with various kinds of weeds, innumerable, and unexpected in all aspects.In terms of color, the starting point of the Southern Song army was originally extremely high. In the era of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, they had already swept across the north of the Yangtze River and regularly defeated the strongest Jin army in East Asia.The bar is high to be proud of.But then quickly declined. Qin Hui and Zhao Gou destroyed them in a planned and organized manner.When Wan Yanliang invaded the South, everyone admitted that the Southern Song Dynasty was doomed, but Yu Yunwen just patted a soldier on the shoulder at the front line of Caishiji, and the war was actually won.What's going on here? Zhao Yan believes that this is a death sentence. Even if the fuel is burned out, the fire is still there.So he decided to do everything possible to quickly find out all the fires scattered throughout the army, and ignite the entire Southern Song military circle. This is necessary and possible, but also the slowest.The war that has just passed has shown that it is the militia that can really bring surprises with quick results. Like Wei Sheng, more than 300 militiamen crossed the Huaihe River, and they created miracles with successive victories; like Geng Jing, a spark started a prairie fire, and more than hundreds of thousands of people gathered in just over a month.This is absolutely impossible for the Southern Song Dynasty officials. In particular, these two phenomena are not accidental at all.In the past twenty years, the following scene has happened repeatedly.During the war, the regular army stands behind with bright armor and complete weapons, and in front is the militia with shirtless arms and simple knives and guns.The militiamen were flying with blood and flesh, and the regular army carefully observed and judged carefully. Do you have the upper hand, are you close to success?OK, rush over and grab! Is it at a disadvantage, is it about to fail?Alright, retreat now, retreat! After the war, taking the victory as an example, the regular army got all the benefits, while the militia didn't even get the tax exemption and no corvee that the government promised at the beginning. How despicable, how ugly, how pitiful... Zhao Yan knew that this was a rare opportunity. He only needed a very small price to get a large number of ready-made troops that were much stronger than the regular army. He just needs to be a little bit kinder to his subjects. With the army, the equipment must keep up.Speaking of equipment, the Southern Song army also had a wide variety of equipment, innumerable, with unexpected aspects.Everything written on the bill would drive the emperor crazy. The armies of the Han people have always been armed by the state, unlike the nomads who provided their own horses, swords, bows and arrows, armor, and even food.What drives Zhao Yan crazy is the horrible expenditure, and the armor alone is enough to make people collapse. The standard armor of the Song Dynasty requires 504 armor leaves, each leaf weighs 2 cents and 6 cents; the armor body uses 330 leaves, and each leaf weighs 4 cents and 7 cents; Leaves, leaves weigh four cents and two cents; the main body of the helmet weighs two catties and twelve taels, and the helmet armor uses three hundred and ten leaves, which weigh two cents and five cents; the whole body shares 1,825 pieces of nail leaves, and there are strings It weighs five catties, twelve taels and five cents. What a fine workmanship, the subsequent production base is more than 300,000 sets... This is just armor, with knives, guns, bows and arrows, what is the number? There are records. A war knife is 3,300 cash; a handbow is 2,700 cash; a hand arrow is 74 cash; a crossbow arrow is 65 cash; a war drum is 6,500 cash; a military account is 60,000. 9,800 coins: 40,000 coins for a pair of armor; 17,300 coins for a pair of chest shields. The base number of these is much greater than 300,000. Taking bows as an example, one million pieces are usually rushed. It is not an easy proposition to make the empire that is full of diseases and has just escaped from death run quickly, and obey the newly enthroned son emperor to support the Northern Expedition.In order to succeed, Zhao Yan decided to start from various aspects. Set an idol first. During the Shaoxing Northern Expedition, only Wu Lin and Zhang Jun were left.Wu Lin—forget it first, then only Zhang Jun, summon him immediately.Zhang Jun was invited to Lin'an. In addition to the privy envoy, he was also appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of the Jianghuai East and West Routes to command the troops on the front lines of the Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers.This fulfilled Zhang Jun's lifelong wish. He didn't hesitate to create the Huaixi Army Change, and finally obtained the overall command that he was about to win. Zhao Yun also made an exception and granted Zhang Jun the title of Shaofu, and the title of Wei Guogong. This is equivalent to giving posthumous seal in advance.There was a system in the Song Dynasty. Except for members of the royal family, ministers with foreign surnames could only be enfeoffed as dukes of the state if they were above the envoy, and they could only be enfeoffed in the order of small states, second states, and large states.Zhang Jun was right prime minister and Duke of the State before he was dismissed from office in the Shaoxing period. He belonged to a small country at the last level, while Duke Wei was a top-level grand prince. If there is no merit of size, the first official will be promoted two levels. This is not enough, support for Zhang Jun must be reflected in the policy.As the newly appointed son emperor, Zhao Yan knew very well who this country belonged to, so he went to find his father. Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou is now leisurely at Wangxian Bridge every day, and has already cultivated to the realm of the eight-clawed octopus.He sat in the house and was carefree, with his tentacles firmly attached to every corner of the empire, monitoring the overall situation at all times. Zhao Yan couldn't get his support, everything was not justified, and he was not filial.It is said that there are always a few days every month when Zhao Yan wants to visit his father. Recently, when he goes there, he is always emotional and tells his father about the latest gratifying changes in the empire.But father's reaction was indifferent, as if he didn't care, as if he was delegating power, as if he really took a back seat to the second line. Unwilling to be reconciled, Zhao Yan finally made up his mind to tell his father on a certain day: "I want to go to the Northern Expedition! I mean the most recent—the Northern Expedition immediately!" Unexpectedly, his father suddenly changed his face and told him clearly: "Brother, I want to treat this old man for a hundred years!" Then you will do this again." Unless I'm dead, don't even try to make trouble, what kind of Northern Expedition! On the same day, Zhao Yan left Deoksugung Palace with a dazed expression. He thought a lot along the way. The Northern Expedition is not pleasing. If it continues, it may lead to instability of the throne. ?In the previous thirty-five years, countless humiliations had been condensed by the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and even the greatest humiliation in the history of Han civilization. Anyone with a little blood would not be able to bear it, let alone him, Zhao Yan! Zhao Yun had a great sense of honor, which probably came from his lineage, from the proud blood of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.But it may also be his innate unique personality. Among the eighteen emperors of the Song Dynasty, he was the only one who was so proud that he was sensitive. For dignity, he can do anything. After thinking about it, he decided to carry out the Northern Expedition desperately, and this required stronger support for Zhang Jun.From then on, Zhao Yan stood firmly behind Zhang Jun. He first wrote an "Ode to the Holy Lord's Worthy Minister" and sent it to Zhang Jun to characterize Zhang Jun.Then Zhang Jun's birthday tablet was set up in the inner ancestral hall deep in the palace. Every time Zhang Jun was summoned to discuss matters, he had to go to the ancestral hall to pay homage before calling Zhang Jun into the palace. This is called "showing that you don't dare to interrogate yourself". This is an unprecedented courtesy. When it spread to the outside world, they could say anything.Some people praised Zhao Yun as worthy of being so virtuous and carrying things like the earth. When the country was in crisis, he did a better job than King Wen of Zhou in treating Jiang Ziya, and the Song Dynasty would be rejuvenated because of it; Who is Jun Jun and what achievements have he made? Could it be the defeat of Fuping and the Huaixi military uprising?Based on these, he can become a good minister of ZTE and receive the unrivaled courtesy... This emperor is so stupid. When it reached Zhao Gou's ears, the father's heart trembled.This is really to reuse Zhang Jun!For the comfort of his own last period of life, he had to do something. The first is to create public opinion and calm conflicts.Zhao Gou is well aware that political struggles are sometimes like children's marriages. The more parents oppose and oppress them, the more they can force the two children to come together.If it is more gentle, it is possible for both parties to see each other's shortcomings and break up. Zhao Gou decided not to force Zhang Jun. He found Zhang Jun's son, Zhang Shi, and recalled the "deep" friendship he had formed with Zhang Jun for decades: "Son, how is your father doing recently, how is your food, how is your face? How about your mother... oh , she passed away. It's a pity, time flies too fast, your father asked me for advice when he remarried, and you are so old in a blink of an eye. Go back and bring a message to your father, I miss him very much!" "...My father and I, righteousness rules the monarch and ministers, and loves the same flesh and blood. Qing Xingzhao, there is fragrant tea and Qing father as a letter." After this meeting, the outside world was in an uproar, seriously doubting the authenticity of Zhao Gou's oath of "I would rather overthrow the country than use this person" after Zhang Jun stepped down from the Huaixi Army. Zhao Yan was very excited. This was a major turning point in his opinion. His father began to support him and began to give policies.On another father-meeting day, Zhao Yan took Zhang Jun as the topic and launched a new round of proposals for the Northern Expedition.He thought that he would be able to resonate with his father, and he began to agree with Zhang Jun and then turned to agree with the Northern Expedition.Unexpectedly, this time my father said something like this: "Son, you have to be careful, and carefully observe the work of the courtiers. For example, Zhang Jun, he always keeps a notebook. Whenever a scholar official visits him, he will write it down in the notebook and promise to recommend him in private. When he is in the army, he takes the state. I don’t know whose official position belongs to him, and whose gold and silver belong to him!” Zhao Yan was stunned. The contrast between before and after was too great. Zhao Gou first affirmed his friendship with Zhang Jun, and then despised Zhang Jun's way of working.This shows what?Is it a relatively common political method to raise first and then suppress, or is it just a matter of fact, not the person? Could it be that Zhang Jun is really a double-faced man? A poisonous seed took root in Zhao Yan's heart smoothly, and he couldn't help thinking along this line of thought.It's not his fault, he has professional political training, these are instinctive reactions. Afterwards, he puzzled, thought, analyzed, and finally came to a conclusion.Zhao Gou didn't want the Northern Expedition, he wanted the Northern Expedition, and Zhang Jun had been advocating and planning the Northern Expedition for 30 years, and it was enough to have this formula. But once that seed is planted, it can never be completely pulled out. Zhao Yun's matter of asking his father for policies fell through, and he was very depressed, but it was also expected.He cheered up and thought of other channels to continue to raise Zhang Jun to Gaoli, set up a banner and create influence for the Northern Expedition. He decided to seek help from among the ministers, and the first choice was of course his closest and most trusted imperial tutor——Shi Hao.By the way, this teacher Shi still exists very firmly in the court.The previous stupid trick caused the country to lose sixteen prefectures and nearly 30,000 soldiers. It still did not ruin the official career, and there was not even a punishment of demotion, and there was no crisis of losing the trust of the emperor. At this time, Zhao Yan was very eager for the teacher's sympathy, but the teacher was still very upset.Shi Hao made it clear that he did not support the Northern Expedition as always, and sternly warned the students: "You have been deceived by people with ulterior motives. As for how you were deceived, the teacher will demonstrate to you on the spot." Shi Hao asked to have a court debate with Zhang Jun, and to explain the matter clearly in front of the emperor and all civil and military officials in the Golden Palace. Zhang Jun had to fight, and this could be regarded as his report. After all, he wanted to make the Northern Expedition, only with the power of the whole country, and every official had to cooperate.So he rushed back to Lin'an from the Jianghuai front line. He was full of hope to turn this court debate into a positive oath meeting, win over the hostile faction and the wall-riding faction, and even become his subordinates to work together for the Northern Expedition. This incident once again proves that Zhang Jun is an optimistic fighter. He is full of confidence before every struggle. He despises powerful enemies; he thinks it is a game when he fights. Like this time. Shi Hao is a rookie in the officialdom. Before the new emperor came to the throne, he was only an official in the education system. The resumes were filled with Wenzhou professor, Tai Xuezheng, and Guozi doctor. How does this compare with Zhang Jun?Zhang Jun was much bigger than these titles in Kaifeng before the Jingkang Incident. So Zhang Jun didn't think it was a battle, he walked up to the court easily, and almost asked the emperor face to face: "Have you visited my birthday tablet in the inner temple today?" Then he asked Shi Hao : "Emperors are always like this, shouldn't you also show something? Do you want to talk to me casually?" He is high-spirited, righteous, and god-like, and Shi Hao also recognized this.So he had to talk about his plan for the Northern Expedition first. Zhang Jun said: "The emperor should issue an edict to conscript himself, and the first stage will be in Jiankang..." Shi Hao objected. Teacher Shi asked: "What is the name of the emperor's going to Jiankang? If it is a personal conquest, then he will take the lead in provoking the war, and Yuren will not stay there; if it is in the name of patrolling the border, do you know how much it cost? Wanyan Liang invaded the south. Not counting the huge sums of money spent by the prefectures and counties along the way, the imperial treasury expenditure alone has reached 14 million guan. Now whether the imperial court can still spend these, you can check the books yourself. Of course, you can directly propose Move the capital to Jiankang, so that the expenses can be included in the normal expenses. After all, the court spends that money everywhere. But Jiankang does not have a palace, how to arrange the emperor? The emperor can make do with it, how to arrange the emperor? The imperial army will be divided into two groups, one will stay in Rin'an to defend Deoksugung Palace, and the other will go to the front line. With such a thin force, how can you guarantee the emperor's safety in case of a surprise attack by the Jin army?" A series of question marks left Zhang Jun speechless.These are facts, even if they are stupid, rotten, and dark, they are all realities after all.After thinking for a long time, he decided to avoid it. He emphasized: "The emperor should have the courage, think about Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who took the insignificant position of the pavilion chief of Surabaya to take over the world to dominate the world, how magnificent, my emperor should have the spirit of the emperor of the Han Dynasty!" Very passionate - Mr. Shi was very angry and said: "This is not comparable at all. Who is Liu Bang? He is just a desperado who took advantage of the chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty. If you win, you will gain, and if you lose, you will die. It's like a gamble. At this time, my emperor has inherited the 200-year-old ancestor's foundation, how can it be compared with it? The emperor's soldiers should be perfect, are you so reckless, do you want to trap the emperor to death?" Once again, Zhang Jun was speechless. He suddenly felt that the old pedant in front of him was difficult to deal with. He was very good at talking about theories and distinguishing right from wrong.This doesn't work, we have to change the subject. Zhang Jun pointed out that the Central Plains had been occupied for a long time, and if it was not recovered, there would be heroes in Jiangbei who would take advantage of the situation. At that time, the entire north would no longer be owned by the Song Dynasty. This is a bigger hidden danger than the Kingdom of Jin, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible. The implication is that the Northern Expedition is necessary if there are conditions, and the Northern Expedition is necessary if there are no conditions. There is no delay. This is a big proposition, involving the world of Zhao Song's family, and it has reached the military and political level. It seems that the old pedants are not good at it, and they dare not speak indiscriminately.What's more, in the military field, Zhang Jun has been the leader for 30 years. Even if Shi Hao wants to say something, he can use all kinds of external tactics to forcefully overwhelm him. Unexpectedly, Teacher Shi said: "There are no heroes in Jiangbei at all. If there are, why haven't the Jinren been driven away?" How ingenious, there is no professional basis, but it makes sense. It can be seen that people who can quarrel can definitely quarrel across industries. Zhang Jun became angry: "Do you know the truth? The people in Jiangbei are strictly organized and controlled, and everyone is unarmed. How can this make them rebel? This is our good opportunity. We will go to the Northern Expedition and give them weapons, which will immediately increase their combat effectiveness!" Shi Hao was even more puzzled: "This is what you call a hero? Is it impossible to resist if you are unarmed? Thinking about the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, when the soldiers of the world were cast in Xianyang, what weapons did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have when they rebelled? Aren't they all unarmed?" ? If you are as powerful and powerful as you are, you are a hero. It can be seen from this that you are purely alarmist, and there will never be another emperor with a Han surname in Jiangbei." Zhang Jun was so angry that he was about to explode. How could he reason with this kind of person? What didn't happen was impossible, but what if it happened?Could someone notify in advance, such as God writing a land deed replacement announcement, saying that Zhao Song is finished, and who will be replaced? History has proved that Zhang Jun was really justified at this time.Xiangyang is like this decades later, it has been attacked for many years, but those in power think it is unbreakable, so there is no need to worry.So when Xiangyang really fell, there was no back-up preparation at all!This is something. But the problem is that Zhang Jun is a military general among civil servants, and he always has the upper hand when he is brave and aggressive; he is also a civil servant among military generals, so he is born with a lot of advantages, no matter who he is facing, he dares to pick his nose and eyes.Since his debut, he has basically never suffered a disadvantage, which caused him to have a bad temper, poor eloquence, and always make a fool of himself when quarreling with others.Twenty years ago, Yue Feixiang was so annoyed that he became angry. At this time, an old pedant can abuse him to the end. Zhang Jun really couldn't say anything, he simply turned his head and made an impassioned gesture to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty should succeed immediately, how can you be greedy for peace and miss the opportunity!" Zhao Yan was deeply moved. Of course the Northern Expedition was difficult, and he didn't stop thinking about it almost every day, but wouldn't he just do it if he had difficulties?of course not!He responded to Zhang Jun with a more passionate attitude: "Since the public is determined to recover, how can I be willing to rest assured?" For a time, the Lin'an Golden Palace in the Southern Song Dynasty was full of impassioned and generous overlord.According to legend, many people were infected, and countless admiring gazes gathered on Zhang Jun and Zhao Yun, plating them with golden rims of glory. Shi Hao was not included. Mr. Shi firmly believes in his ideas.He doesn't care even if it causes tens of thousands of deaths and injuries to the Sichuan army, and the sixteen prefectures where the country is bereaved, let alone the small atmosphere in front of him.He pursued and debated endlessly, and debated with Zhang Jun for five whole days.During these five days, the battlefield between the two was sometimes at the Golden Palace, sometimes at the mansion hall, and sometimes at the dinner table. Shi Hao can refute, ridicule, quarrel to a certain extent, and the theoretical data is also unambiguous. He pointed out that the military force that the country can use now is at most 60,000 people to lead the battle. Where does the confidence come from? After the severe blow, Shi Hao became affectionate again.He said affectionately: "Dudu Zhang, my wish for decades in my life is to obey instructions with a whip. You are my idol, but I didn't expect the two of us to disagree so much now. In order to keep your reputation alive for thirty years, The flag of the national hero will not fall, you must be more cautious and calm..." Zhang Jun was furious, this damned old pedant treated him like a baby, and dared to act both soft and hard!This was the greatest contempt for him, and he resolved not to tolerate it.He flicked his sleeves and left Chaoyuan in a rage, returning to the Jianghuai front line to inspect the army. He left so resolutely that Zhao Yan immediately felt guilty, and asked him to come back urgently, and made it clear: "I rely on the Great Wall of Wei Gongruo, and I cannot be swayed by false words." This can be regarded as the highest instruction, but unfortunately no one takes him seriously.It was still Shi Hao, the new deputy prime minister who dared to blatantly tear down the stage.In the front, Zhang Jun raised armaments in every possible way, and he would never bother the central government if he could solve it on the spot, but the funds were really insufficient, so he had no choice but to ask Zhao Wei for help.Zhao Yan ordered to support it immediately, but Shi Hao disagreed. He has just been enthroned, and has not been kind to the people, so he extorts violently. Aren't you afraid of causing a civil uprising?At that time, the lost land was not recovered, and there would be a crisis in the south of the Yangtze River. Shi Hao's words were high-sounding, and he asked the relevant departments to keep the decree and refuse to implement it. Zhao Yan is in a hurry, this is a military matter, there is no delay! Shi Hao is very calm, if you dismiss me, anyway, I don't agree.The result of the stalemate was that Zhao Yan compromised again. Whether it was Zhang Jun or Shi Hao, they were all his close friends, and he felt heartbroken when he left. Is he still going to use the gang of garbage moths from Zhao Gou and Qin Hui's period? In desperation, Zhao Yan decided not to offend anyone.Shi Hao can continue to oppose the Northern Expedition, regardless of occasion or location, he can say whatever he wants.Zhang Jun went to the Northern Expedition and did whatever he wanted.As for the money, Zhao Yan had an idea and thought of a piece of idle land. Every year, he prepared to pay tribute to the Jin Kingdom’s old coins. Didn’t the war just end, the two countries turned against each other, so why give it back to the enemy country?Use this money to support Zhang Jun for military expenses. Finally solved the urgent need, but Zhao Yan couldn't be happy, he was even more anxious.The Northern Expedition was a huge project, requiring all officials to support countless links. Does it have to be like this every time? Must be mobilized! But asking for policies from my father and asking for support from my teacher were all in vain, and I was in a mess, which caused more negative effects in vain. If things go on like this, how amazing! Zhao Yan really couldn't think of what else to do, so he had to resort to the last move. He personally acted, set an example, and personally called on the people to act with the dignity of an emperor. He opened up a field inside the palace, and took his palace companions, imperial soldiers, etc. to do various military exercises in it. It was rainy and cloudy, and the top was covered with oilcloth, and the bottom was covered with sand. He went out on time every day. The effect came out within a few days. The civil servants collectively didn't like it, and suggested that the emperor should keep the focus, not to mention the image problem. If something hurts, can he still work normally? Zhao Yan turned a deaf ear to it, what he wanted was influence, even if it was a voice of opposition, as long as it spread.He continued to practice, and one day something happened.He was playing polo that day. This is a difficult sport that combines equestrianism, polework, emergency stop and sprinting and other complex movements. It has always been very popular in the army, and he can develop a very good equestrian foundation while playing. Zhao Xuan was full of energy and high spirits, and he forgot about the life and death of the horse when he was having fun.The horse he was riding was dizzy from repeated tossing, and in a moment of excitement, he ran off the direction and galloped towards the low gallery on the side of the field. It happened so suddenly that none of the guards or imperial guards could react, they just watched the horse rush towards the low room.Calculated by the height of the low house, the emperor must have bumped his head on the eaves. Let's pray, let Zhao Yan be possessed by his ancestor Zhao Kuangyin at this moment, his head will instantly become harder than an iron stove, even if he hits the city wall on horseback, nothing will happen. Miracles are usually orphans and cannot be replicated. Zhao Yan has his own storyline.The moment he was about to hit the eaves, he suddenly jumped out of the saddle, quickly reached out and grabbed the eaves, hung his whole body in the air, let go of his hands and fell, the whole process remained calm and composed.Afterwards he took a new horse, jumped on it, and started training again. There was loneliness, and the audience cheered. "My emperor is mighty, my emperor is calm, and my emperor is long live!" This incident flew under the sky of the Southern Song Dynasty as if it had grown wings. Zhao Yun's image as a martial artist was preliminarily established, and people began to pay attention to the Northern Expedition. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Yan issued the Northern Expedition Order in the official name for the first time, and the Song Dynasty will regain the lost land by means of war after 20 years.When the news came out, the whole country was in turmoil. First, the Deoksugung Palace was shaken. Zhao Gou roared like thunder on the Wangxian Bridge, calling for Zhao Yun to come and explain immediately. "No, you don't need to say anything, it was a slip of the tongue, a coma, and talking nonsense while drinking!" Zhao Yun was silent. This is the limit of his resistance, it is impossible for him to have a verbal dispute with the "father" who bestowed on him the throne, and then turn his face against each other, with cold eyebrows.That is unimaginable. In fact, he only needs to shut his mouth tightly and remain silent to the end, which is enough to show his determination. Zhao Gou was tired of shouting. Rather than saying that he was venting his anger, it would be better to say that he was releasing his fear.The jerk was frightened by the Jurchens into a real organic lesion, which torments him every moment, reminding him never to forget who is the master and who is the grandson. At this time, he was in front of Jin Guo's "grandson", but he couldn't control his son, and he didn't have the courage to sit at the front desk again to face the problem. After tossing for a while, he could only wave his hand to tell Zhao Yun to leave. Zhao Yun was free, and after he came out of Deoksugung Palace, the heavens and the earth suddenly became brighter, and he was finally able to do what he wanted to do most!After he returned to the palace, he bypassed all official obstructions, put aside the three provinces and the Privy Council, and directly ordered Zhang Jun on the Jianghuai front line, and the Northern Expedition began!
