Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 48 An Ordinary Man's Solution

Shen Cong looked at Zhao Huan with a surprised face, and knew that he would be wrong.

He thought that the new emperor knew about his relationship with Zhong Shidao, after all, it was no secret.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Huan didn't know about this all the time, he knew that he might have given the wrong answer.

In addition to loving his wife, the emperor of the Zhao family also has a common trait, which is narrow-mindedness, and it is extremely narrow-minded.

"As early as 20 years ago, I was adopted by Zhong Shaobao. Your Majesty." Shen Cong could only retort weakly.

You can't say, Boss, I am a loyal minister, loyal to the country, such words are disgusting, and there are suspicions of trying to cover up.

And he is also the most ineffective among the 72 adopted sons of the Chong family.

Zhao Huan nodded, calmed himself down, and said: "You are a minister, in charge of the guards of the entire palace, and your adoptive father, Zhong Shidao, is in charge of the largest military force in the city, the Zhong Family Army. Not only For any emperor, if he doesn't have any doubts, it's impossible. Please understand."

Although the Zhong Family Army was the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, they turned the Western Army of the Song Dynasty into a substantive warlord in Yanchi, Longyou Duhufu.

Now King Qin is out of righteousness. Once the national hatred disappears, at that time, it is just a kind of teacher's morality that he doesn't want. Can Shen Cong not think about it?
"The adoptive father has about 72 adoptive sons, all of whom have been adopted by border refugees over the years. Most of his salary is spent on us children. It is normal for your Majesty to doubt your subjects. After all, I am nominally the son of His Highness King Yun Old minister, it is okay for His Majesty to have suspicions. The minister will definitely fight the enemy bravely to protect His Majesty's safety."

"But your majesty shouldn't be suspicious of Zhong Shaobao. At the age of 75, he heard that the golden soldiers were going south, and knew that Guo Yaoshi was capricious, so he led his troops to serve the king and traveled thousands of miles to Bianjing. Until today, when he is old and feeble, It is working day and night for Master Wang. Your Majesty should not doubt Zhong Shaobao." Shen never defended himself.He complained for his adoptive father.

Since ancient times, the second minister had no good end. At that time, he chose the new emperor instead of Yun Wang Zhao Kai, who was currently in trouble with the enemy. He knew that he would be suspected one day, after all, he was labeled as a second minister.

He has never been from Zhao Kai, never, he has always been from Song Dynasty.

It is normal to be suspicious now.

It was not because the adoptive father was a kind of teacher that he was suspected, but because of his own label.

But no one ever asked who he was.He was automatically assigned to Zhao Kai's name and became a second minister.It made him uncomfortable, but it was also a reality.

How should a real Mingjun choose at this time?It should be to let go of the past, not care about any of his past, but only value his ability, and use him without doubts. This is the way of a wise king.

But Zhao Huan is just an ordinary person!
It's only been six days since I became emperor, and I haven't even figured out the rules here!What should I do?
In the past, there was a case where Emperor Taizong of Tang used Wei Zheng, the old prince, to abolish the old prince. Probably it was Mingjun.

Zhao Huan understands the boundary between a foolish ruler and a wise ruler, and the way of a wise ruler is to use talents only.

He asked himself that he didn't have such a big heart, and he really used his talent.

He also knows that people's minds change, Shen Cong doesn't want to be emperor now, who knows when Shen Cong suddenly wants to be emperor?What should I do?
"When Zhao Kai conspired against him last time, did he capture six thousand marriage officials?" Zhao Huan asked suddenly.

From the black line on Shen Cong's forehead, this is discussing life and death, and the conversation is going too fast.

He leaned over and said: "Six thousand relatives and officials are all in custody in the city. His Majesty has not issued an order for a long time, and these people have not been dealt with. Has Your Majesty already made a clear decision?"

Zhao Huan nodded and continued to ask: "After the interrogation of these people, have you found anything?"

"The military orders are like mountains, so don't dare to disobey them."

"The leading generals deserve to die, but the rest of the soldiers don't even know about it."

"According to the law, marriage officials are not allowed to enter the palace. When passing through the moat of the palace, many marriage officials knew what to do and threw their bows and crossbows into the river. They never brought weapons into the palace. I begged for mercy and they will not die." Shen Cong was the last commander, and he was the leader of the personal officer, so he had no control over the personal officer.

He risked the displeasure of the world to intercede with the traitor, and he put his own life and death aside.

The emperor himself said that he was jealous of the general, but in fact it was no different from bestowing death on him.

Especially in this Song Dynasty with the addition of yellow robes.

Zhao Huan weighed it up and said, "Are these marriage officials elite?"

"Three thousand relatives and six thousand relatives, all of them are clean and innocent soldiers in the forbidden army of the world. It is not difficult to be an elite. Your Majesty, now is the time for employing people. Please be aware of your majesty."

Shen Cong was still pleading for the [-] family officials, and he was the marriage officer of the Yi tribe according to the law.

Zhao Huan nodded and said: "I have an idea. I ordered Bing Yilang to be the next commander of the relative officer. Like the relative officer, he was stationed in the palace to help defend. There are 500 relative officers and 500 relative officers. A marriage officer is a person who wears a crime, not worthy of a bow and crossbow, only a knife and axe."

This is the best solution that Zhao Huan, a normal person, can think of. Is it really just like Mingjun, is it only useful?

He is not the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Who would dare to disobey?

He is just an ordinary person, and he can only think of this method.

Now is the time for employing people. If the Song Dynasty is the same as the early Tang Dynasty, famous generals are like crucian carp crossing the river, and strong soldiers are like clouds in the sky.

What is there to be afraid of a Shen Cong and a kind of teacher?

It's not that he doesn't want to be a Mingjun, but his strength really doesn't allow him to be a Mingjun.

If you really know that there are two fathers and sons in the other party, one inside and the other outside, I am not prepared at all.

On the contrary, it will hurt the trust between the monarch and his ministers.It is an unwise choice to suspect each other and consume national power.

With such checks and balances, because the marriage officer only has a knife and axe, but no bow and crossbow, he can't actually pose a threat to him. After all, if he captures them once, he can capture them a second time.

It is controlled by Li Gang's arsenal and Shen Cong's personal officials, and Shen Cong's personal officials are also controlled by the relative officials. As for the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty...

No solution.

Now he is not qualified to deal with the [-] strong soldiers of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, even the [-] marriage officials stationed in the imperial city. In fact, the psychological comfort is greater than the actual effect.

Shen Cong was dumbfounded for a moment, the emperor seemed to know nothing about power and tactics!
This is the announced talk about checks and balances?Is there such a thing?

The emperor directly told his courtiers, I, the emperor, guard against you!
It's all about the surface and the back!This new emperor is good, he almost understood the words directly.

Just as he was about to reply, he savored Zhao Huan's words again and guessed what Zhao Huan really wanted to express.

I, the emperor, want to use you.

Moreover, such an announcement would save Shen Cong from wondering what the emperor wanted to do.

He suddenly thought of a sentence, "Punishment is unknowable, but power is unfathomable."

If the law is not promulgated, there will be no enforcement standards, and its power will be infinite.

The Zhong family army is the largest in the city, which is a huge hidden danger. The suspicion of the emperor and the powerful Zhong family army of the Great Song and Western Army are an irreconcilable contradiction.

Random suspicions are not good for the country's affairs. If you speak out in an open and honest manner, everyone should know if you speak out clearly.

The new emperor is also a person with an exquisite mind.

"Your Majesty is merciful." Shen Cong understood the joints, and there was no doubt about it.

As long as the Western Army of the Song Dynasty left the city after the golden soldiers retreated, there would be no need for the two sides to be suspicious. On the contrary, such checks and balances would reassure both sides.

Instead of suddenly taking advantage of one day to kill him directly.

"I wonder if Your Majesty has a suitable candidate in mind?" Shen Cong asked.

"How about Bing Yilang Yue Fei?" Zhao Huan had read all kinds of information about Yue Fei, and if he was Yue Fei, he would have stood on his own.

Yue Fei had fantasies about Zhao Gou, and it would be better not to go along with his ministers, how about staying at home for the elderly?And have a good death.

Shen Cong nodded, the new emperor is very knowledgeable!
Yue Fei's evaluation, whether it is Zong Ze, Hebei's governor, Zhang Suo, Hebei's appeasement envoy, or Xu Huiyan, who is outstanding in martial arts, all praise Yue Fei.

As a literati Jinshi, Xu Huiyan was later changed to a military officer. He was specially awarded the best martial arts and the No. [-] martial arts scholar.

After all, such a thing as holding a bow for three hundred catties is really not something that normal people can do.

"Then start arranging this matter." Zhao Huan ordered.He looked at the back of Shen Cong leaving, and felt that he was really talkative, so he shouldn't have asked such a sentence, the monarch and his ministers were ugly.

However, it is impossible not to ask, if this contradiction is not resolved for a day, the monarch and his ministers will not be safe.
