Piao Astronomy     Chapter 97 Sleeping in the Wilderness at Night

Zhao Qi figured out the joints and quickly got rid of his depression. He thought it was the same. In addition to being afraid of rebellion, he was also afraid that the ministers would join forces to put him in vain, so that although he enjoyed his reputation, he had no real power.

, Differentiation and balancing the art of balance are also important contents of the emperor's mind. Therefore, the ministers divided the factions and fought with each other without misleading the national affairs. In fact, those who became emperors were happy to read it. The netizens in the novel "" hit it by hand

Cai Jing and Tong Guan were incompatible. It is likely that the emperor's father deliberately or unintentionally released the news, expressing his dissatisfaction with Tong Guan, which induces Cai Jing to express his resistance to Tong Guan. It is even possible that it is his instructing him to use the country's chief minister as a gun envoy.

, deliberately smearing Cai Jing, forcing him to re-stop and destroy the relationship between the two. Zhao Ji's wishful thinking was: to let Cai Jing offend Tong Guan completely, and Tong Guan fight with Cai Jing to the death!

On the other hand, Zhao Qi felt that his father was not deliberately targeting Tong Guan. He would not be relieved if anyone was in that position. To put it bluntly, "Who made him catch up?" There is another purpose.

It was a fisherman who fought against cranes and clams to benefit, because Cai Jing was also capable of affecting the government affairs, and there was someone to check and balance the development direction of the Song Dynasty. However, he found all the civil and military officials. Although there were many loyal and virtuous ministers, his abilities and power were insufficient.

By checking and balancing Cai Jing, he chose Tong Guan, who was leading the troops outside, so that the two leaders of the Song Dynasty, including literary and military, were disagreeable and fought each other, so that he could sleep peacefully and have fun!

In addition, although the Song Dynasty was at its peak in economic and military aspects at this time, it would still be impossible to fight the Western Xia and restore Yanyun in the future, and it would take countless money.

If a person with excellent financial management ability comes to take charge of the overall situation of government operations, it is Tong Guan and Gao Qiu. No matter how hard these people can fight, they cannot support long-term wars.

At this time, Zhao Ji was also quite impatient with the "righteous gentlemen" in the court, Zhang Shangying, and he couldn't even get the money to provide his own fun, let alone support the war, and they would stare at their own private lifestyle all day long

If he doesn't let go, he has to ask about everything himself. He can't handle all government affairs first like "someone" and let him just read the result report!

During the war, Zhao Ji thought of Cai Jing, but his reputation was not good, and the Yuanyou Monument incident caused dissatisfaction among the world. Even if Zhao Ji intends to let him return to the court, he will inevitably be boycotted by the ministers in the court. Therefore, for the sake of

He eliminated the obstacles to returning to the court for him and prepared to raise money for the war later. Under the instructions of the emperor, some people jumped out. Gao Qiu, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, had to do some controversial things. After Cai Jing returned, he

He strongly supported Tong Guan's "pacifying strategy" and led to a series of wars that followed. To say that Tong Guan failed to contribute, it would be suspicious no matter how he looked at it.

The border between Song and Xia was peaceful for about six or seven years. Around the fifth year of Zhenghe, the border situation between the Song Dynasty and Xixia began to deteriorate again. After a period of rest, Xixia gradually recovered and began to provoke the Song Dynasty again. Tong Guan again

Wearing armor and leading troops to fight, he was already the general commander of the six northwest routes, and was appointed as the Grand Marshal and the highest-ranking minister. If Cai Jing, who was in charge of the government, refused to agree, it would be difficult to do so just rely on the emperor's favor.

.

Although he caught the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhao Qi was not optimistic. He thought that Tong Guan's rise was still the idea given by Cai Jing. Even his eldest wife was handled by Lao Cai, and Tong Guan was also responsible for Cai Jing's second comeback.

He made great contributions, and he ran up and down, fanned the flames, created public opinion, attracted various factions of forces, paved the way and built bridges for Cai Jing, and spared no effort. This shows that the relationship between the two people is absolutely extraordinary. If they think they are all experienced people, wouldn't they understand it

Mysterious! Zhao Qi now doubted whether these two people had already colluded and reached a tacit understanding or deal in secret, and played a double act for the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court...

Zhao Qiong was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Northwest General and the Hedong General and the privilege granted by the emperor. He was bound to be divided into children with the privilege granted by the emperor.

Guan's military power robbed him of his credit, and he was always domineering to the northwest and would definitely be able to curb Tong Guan's momentum. Although Cai Jing first opposed it, he was enthusiastic later, which made people feel that he also stood on Zhao Qi's side, hoping to see Tong Guan's

joke.

But how many people know the inside story. Not to mention that this is a deal. From another perspective, the emperor's favorite prince's sect was trained under Tong Guan's command, which can also be considered a entrusting act, which is a great deal for him.

Trust. In addition, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the prince is now showing signs of singing a stage drama with the emperor. The emperor has long been deposed because he is not interested in him. Now, once the second prince makes great contributions on the border, it will be legitimate to change the horse. As for the legitimate concubine

The emperor was able to inherit the throne even if he was a concubine. It was not impossible to reach this point. At that time, Tong Guan had the merit of possessing the dragon. It was said that Cai Jing gave Tong Guan a great wealth!

Zhao Qi thought about it and made it difficult to understand the relationship. It was so complicated that it was really difficult to understand. This made him more aware of the famous saying in his previous life, "There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests."

The court officials are inseparable from the drive of interests, and they are inseparable from the power of interests. How can there be such a good person in the world who is dedicated to the public as one of themselves!

Now that they have entered the hinterland of Hedong Road, governments from all over the country learned that the pacifiers had passed by, how could they come and see it? By the way, they gave them New Year's gifts as usual. This saved them from having to go there and they didn't have to make a special trip. So the journey was no longer

Loneliness, every time you pass through the border, someone will pick it up and drop it off. Zhao Qiong hated this, and sometimes he would deliberately change the speed and route of the march, but he rarely succeeded. These people would always meet the prince when they go on a patrol.

The team, and the time is extremely accurate, and the location is selected just right, so it will not delay the prince's journey, nor will it miss himself to send gifts. This made Zhao Qi wonder, and he wondered if these people had received professional tracking training.

Be able to grasp your itinerary so accurately!

The prince's treatment of receiving gifts along the way opened everyone's eyes again. All the medicines were sent to the health team, the food was sent to the fire army, all the money was handed over to the business camp planning department, and a special soldier fund was established to help those who live in poverty.

The family members of the soldiers and reward soldiers with outstanding performance. This outstanding refers to the rewards of excellent military achievements, serious and responsible in training, helping comrades, abide by discipline, etc., which may all be rewarded from consistent money to ten-month coins.

When everyone was half-believing and half-doubting about the prince's policies, a soldier named Sun Bao was soon rewarded, and he was just a trivial matter of drying his boots for everyone after camping every day.

This gives everyone a new understanding of the greedy prince.

As the end of the year approaches, everyone is preparing to go home for the New Year. There are few business trips on the post road, the cold wind is whistling, and the sound of hooves is as if only they are the solitary army in the world are moving forward bravely. Although the trip is halfway, there are many hills and mountains here.

It was already rugged and difficult to move around, and encountered two more winds and snowstorms, so the marching speed slowed down, no better than before.

The sky became gloomy early this morning, as if it was about to change. At this time, the army entered the boundary of Bingzhou, which was only 200 miles away from Taiyuan Prefecture, but in ancient times, it was different from modern times, and it was sparsely populated after five miles of the city.

Moreover, it is normal for this place to be close to the border and it is normal to not see the village after walking dozens of miles. Seeing that the weather is not good, Zhao Ren rushed to camp near the prefectures and counties in front of him and did not rest at noon, so he relied on dry food to solve the lunch.

But people's calculations are not as good as the sky's calculations. After only ten miles in the afternoon, a strong wind blew. Then it started snowing. After walking for a while, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier. The snowflakes made people unable to open their eyes and it was difficult for people to move.

The scouts who explored the way had to pass through a mountain in front to reach the nearest county town, but the marching speed was impossible to reach now. Considering that there are many new recruits in the team now, most of them did not march under such complex terrain and meteorological conditions.

After brief discussions with the prince, Zhao Ren and the prince decided to choose an open and flat place to camp nearby.

After the order was issued, the scout immediately sent several teams of squads to find a suitable camp in the wind and snow. Half an hour later, the scout returned to find a leeward valley near the main road, close to the water and forest, and the area was not small, so you can go down.

At this moment, it was snowy on the road and the sky was getting late, and there was no choice. The team immediately set off according to the guidance.

When Zhao Xiao arrived at the valley with the central army, the positions of each battalion had been divided, and there were still four combat battalions in four corners. The central army and the baggage battalion were in the middle, but the valley was narrow and long, five hundred steps long, but less than two hundred steps wide. On the hillside

They are all trees that have grown for many years. The weather is cold now, so you can ignore the mountain torrents formed after the snow melts. The dense forest can also prevent avalanches caused by heavy snow. A frozen river flowing along the valley can provide sufficient water and surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The small basin formed blocks the raging wind and snow, and is also a good place to camp.

This place is located in a wilderness. Although there are no people, wild animals are certainly indispensable. In order to prevent invasion, the gap between the large trucks around the camp was blocked with cut down trees, forming a closed camp. Although it is now down

Heavy snow, but after such a long march, it was easy to set up camps. In less than an hour, the gate had been raised, the flags were raised, the camp tents were set up, the temporary stables were set up, the fire army had already chiseled ice and water to prepare dinner,

The camp also sent people to cut down a large number of trees, lit bonfires, and cleared the way out. Everything was orderly and orderly.

Just after they settled down, there were bursts of people shouting and neighing from outside the gate. A team of people was blocked by the wind and snow like them. The caravans who missed the Amou also took a fancy to this place and wanted to enter the valley

, but the soldiers blocked the valley entrance. After some negotiations, they were allowed to camp fifty steps outside the gate, but they were never allowed to step into the military camp. But this was just the first group, and it didn't take long to come again.

Several caravans were camping outside the gate, gathering hundreds of carts and three or four hundred people!
