Chapter 762

It’s not that Zhao Bing thought too much. He can say that on one side of fighting with the Yuan army over the years, he is fighting and dealing with various forces in the North Korea and China. Don’t underestimate the subtle changes. There may be traps and mines buried. Once you get hit, the mild ones will be peeled off, and the worst ones will be damaged. Therefore, he can be said to be frightened every step of his life since he came to this world, but he can successfully get rid of the crisis again and again.

Zhao Bing was very clear that in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, reform the military system, and improve the political status of the military, he offended some important officials in the court. Although they made concessions, they could also be regarded as temporary compromises. Because these people also knew that it would be difficult to defend Qiongzhou without a strong army and realize the ideal of restoring the country, but he also knew that once the time was ripe, he would still attempt to make changes.

Since he knew the crisis contained, of course, the best way to take action first is to solve the problem once and for all. However, Zhao Bing still used the pattern continued by the previous dynasty and did not make major adjustments to the entire leadership team. Instead, he used the method of strengthening local forces to restrain the central government to force them to cooperate with him. At the same time, he used the Military Affairs Office to control the military power and undermine the Privy Council. While ensuring his leadership, he could control the government affairs.

After the stability of the court, Zhao Bing still did not make adjustments to the team, especially Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang have been in the ranks for so many years. Of course, this is not that they have made changes, but that there is another profound meaning. After testing, Zhao Bing no longer questioned the loyalty of the two, and they all have a strong desire to regain their hometown. It can be said that from a general perspective, the two sides are consistent. As for the disputes in governing philosophy, no one can avoid them. It is better not to change.

On the other hand, Zhao Bing has a further understanding of the temperament and character of the two prime ministers. Lu Xiufu is not only diligent and meticulous in his work, but also has a tough personality. He can withstand setbacks and is like an old ox. Compared with him, Wen Tianxiang has passion, ability and courage in doing things. Even if he is sent to him, he can solve the difficult things and can stand alone. However, his personality is much more impulsive, and he dares to argue in public, but he does not hold grudges. If he has quarrels, he will not be able to make any decisions.

To be honest, Zhao Bing was a little afraid of Wen Tianxiang, so he could not give up the stage from time to time, so this kind of person is black and white, and he cannot take the blame. Of course, this personality has also offended many people, and his old subordinates have almost lost all their losses in Jiangxi, so if he has no circle of friends in the court, he should be considered an isolated minister. Letting him take the position of prime minister outweigh the disadvantages. Zhao Bing naturally would not replace such a minister because of a small loss.

Zhao Bing has always been very apologetic to Lu Xiufu. He can be said to have taken a lot of blame for himself. Sometimes he may feel inexplicable. For some reason, the little emperor suddenly targeted him. In fact, Zhao Bing was just a forced act to balance the situation in the court and suppress some people. When Chen Yizhong suddenly ran away, Lu Xiufu was ordered to be a prime minister, but the superiors were suppressed by Zhang Shijie. Some old ministers below distrust him, and they were also a two-sided person.

On the issue of Zhao Bing's succession, Lu Xiufu could be said to have been in the wrong team. At first, he was wary and unsupported. It was not until the Battle of Yashan that his attitude changed. At that time, Zhang Shijie had completely turned to himself. He was promoted to the left prime minister and the leader of all officials. He gradually became the backbone of scholars and the representative of scholars. Perhaps helplessness and reluctance were among them, but it became a fact. Zhao Bing implemented a policy of equal importance to both civil and military affairs, and conflicts with scholars were inevitable, so he became the target of "strike", sandwiched between the two ends and was angry.

Zhao Bing probably did not mean that Lu Xiufu did not welcome him into the city, but now the prime minister in the court can be said to be the only one in the capital, and Lin'an City was also a gathering place for scholars in the past. There must be someone who wants to take this rare opportunity to incite to contact the famous scholars of the past to strengthen their own strength, thereby strengthening the power of the prime minister, suppressing military men, weakening the imperial power, and forcing the court to continue to implement the old system of promoting culture and suppressing military affairs. To achieve this goal, Zhao Bing must be isolated from the outside to implement it, so that they can have time to make arrangements calmly.

Zhao Bing felt that Lu Xiufu did not want to see the battle between imperial power and ministerial power broke out at this moment, but he was also involved in it. After all, some things need to be held to discuss before they can be implemented. But even so, the board must fall on his butt, who made you the head of all officials? And it was not so easy for them to reverse the situation. The old ministers who were in the court and the old ministers who had defected to the court had already practiced to become spirits. They were like a mirror in their hearts, knowing that they had absolute control over the army, and that the world was not determined and they could only die. Therefore, they were either watching the wall or "interference" them.

However, some people still don’t understand the situation, especially Yao Liangchen, who was the right prime minister after a few days, was usurped by this throne because he followed Zhang Shijie. After moving to Qiong, he was quickly taken down by Zhao Bing. However, in order to appease the people, he was appointed as the Minister of Revenue. However, on the surface, he seemed to have surrendered, but in private he still thought that the emperor was unfair to him, so he made small moves to become the prime minister again.

Qiongzhou is so big that it is so easy to cause trouble when Zhao Bing controls the army and internal affairs. It will be destroyed in minutes. But after so many years, Yao Liangchen still misses him. He knew that he had to use Lu Xiufu to stand out. Therefore, after entering the city, he actively contacted his former colleagues and classmates with several close friends, recommended them to Lu Xiufu to enter the court, and then promoted the contribution of the regaining Jiangnan to him, creating the illusion that the minister was strong and the ruler was weak, thus ignoring and even erasing Zhao Bing's contribution, trying to vague him.

Now that Zhao Bing was relieved of Lu Xiufu's position as the prefect of Lin'an, Yao Liangchen said, "It's moral but not the danger." First, he felt the crisis and proposed this to block his mouth. If the palace was repaired at this time, it would be a loss of virtue. But there was a hidden trap. The Queen Mother was still in Qiongzhou. How could you bear it when you enter the city and leave the Queen Mother alone in that "remote" place? This would temporarily block Liu Fu and Ying Jieyan from the court; second, we did this for the sake of the emperor, and you can't make things difficult for us...

"My dear friends think it would be better to move the capital to Jiankang or live in Lin'an for the time being?" Zhao Bing understood his purpose, and when he just entered the city, he replaced it as if he had really become "unvirtuous", and then pushed the problem back.

"Your Majesty, I think it is better to live in Lin'an for the time being." Chen Zhongwei stood up and said, "One, Lin'an was the place chosen by Emperor Gaozong after the southward transition, so it should not be moved lightly; second, everyone in the world knows that Lin'an is the capital of our Song Dynasty. The recapture of Lin'an is certainly a shock to the whole country. If the capital of Jiankang is moved at this time, it will definitely cause misunderstandings in the court and the country, thinking that our dynasty will not be able to establish a foothold in Jiangdong; third, although Lin'an was trapped in the enemy, the city was preserved without major wars, and the people's livelihood was not greatly affected, so it was convenient to raise food and money; second, Jiankang was close to the river and faced the enemy's front, and now the war was frequent. If the city was trapped or surrounded, it would have a great impact."

"I think what Chen Shangshu said is reasonable." Xu Zongren also stood up and said, "Lin'an is the old capital, and Taimiao and the imperial tombs are here. If you move to Jiankang, it will be very inconvenient to worship the tombs and ancestors, and it will frequently disturb the local area and cause trouble to the people and money."

"The capital is a major land for the country. How can it be placed at the forefront of the attack? I also think that the priest is the best place to stay in Lin'an. When I conquer the Jianghuai, recover the Central Plains, and return the capital to Bianjing, why should I move the capital frequently?" Deng Wenyuan also agreed.

"I also agree that Lin'an should not be abandoned easily, and the capital should not be moved without permission!" Jiang Xu stood up and said.

"This... I also agree with the saint's entry into Lin'an, but Your Majesty just said that the imperial city was seriously damaged and that the grand occasion could not be restored without large-scale construction. It is very inappropriate for this war to be urgent!" Yao Liangchen saw that he became a minority, so he did not dare to force himself, but used the emperor's words to block everyone's mouths.

"What Yao Shangshu said is true. Now Pingjiang, Jiankang, Wuhu, Dangtu, Chizhou and other important towns have been destroyed by the Mongol Yuan and need to be rebuilt urgently. In addition, the important areas along the river also need to be built, and Lin'an City also needs to be repaired urgently, which has made the Ministry of Works overwhelmed. If the imperial city is built, it will still be necessary to recruit tens of thousands of craftsmen and servants. It will be difficult for the Ministry of Works to complete the work for several years." Wei Tianzhong also stood up and said, proposing his own suffering.

"Have I ever said I would rebuild the imperial city?" Zhao Bing said to the two with a smile.

"This... Your Majesty has not mentioned it!" Wei Tianzhong thought that the little emperor had never said it, but instead disagreed with the reconstruction of the imperial city and stuttered.

"Prince Lu, what do you think?" Zhao Bing turned to Lu Xiufu, who had not expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, I think it is the best place for the Holy Lord to temporarily stay in Lin'an City. But the palace was destroyed, where will the Holy Lord live?" Lu Xiufu said in embarrassment.

"Haha, I had been wandering on the sea for many years, and I also lived in thatched huts and huts on Yashan. It is common for me to sleep in Qiongzhou. Is it true that in this huge Lin'an City, there is no place for me to live in the place where I can live in the vast Lin'an City?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is not afraid of difficulties, but after all, this is the capital station, and it cannot be compared with other days. I feel wronged!" Lu Xiufu thought that the little emperor had never enjoyed a blessing in recent years. After the Northern Expedition began, he had never complained, but suddenly thought that the little emperor had never been aimless. Today, he suddenly entered the city and came to the temple and realized, "Didn't your Majesty want to stay in this sect Yang Palace?"

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile. But he cursed in his heart that these people were so hard to speak. It took him a long time to get to the point, and he was almost suffocated.

"Your Majesty, this Zongyang Palace has been changed to a Taoist temple, and it is really inappropriate to worship Taoist immortals and gods!" This time, Xu Zongren opposed the Tao before he could speak.

"I am the emperor and live in a room with them without any shame. If they think I am obsessed with you, they just need to find another place for them and give them a great gift. As for those monsters and monsters, I have never been there, I am afraid that they still need to walk around me!" Zhao Bing said indifferently.

"Although Your Majesty is not afraid of ghosts and gods, can you know the origin of this sect Yang Palace?" Jiang Qi thought about the little emperor's understanding of the gods and his own protection is the gods. He does not fear the gods in this view, but he still thinks that there is still something wrong with it.

"Sir, of course I know. The predecessor of Zongyang Palace was the place where Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xiaozong abdicated, and they served Empress Dowager Xiansheng and Shoucheng Empress Dowager. If I settled in it, what could I do?" Zhao Bing said in a word.

"Your Majesty is right. But Your Majesty is in full swing, and the battle to restore the country has just begun. How can you have the desire to retire and enjoy yourself!" Jiang Xu said a lesson.

"Oh, sir, it's because of this!" Zhao Bing was stunned for a little amused, "I am determined to restore the country and restore the Central Plains, so how can I give up halfway and enjoy myself? Isn't this a shame for my teacher and the assistance of all the ministers?"

"Your Majesty is best to have this idea. Don't just recover Jiangnan, be content with the status quo, and forget your original ambitions!" Jiang Qi looked stern and showed his spirit of becoming a master and taught him a lesson.

"Prime Minister Lu, my colleagues, I think it is feasible for Your Majesty to stay in Beigong. Although it has been transformed here, it does not take much effort to restore it. It can save the country and let the driving enter the city as soon as possible." After hearing this, Jiang Yan turned around and said to everyone.

"Shangshu Jiang is not that simple. Although the main body here does not need to be moved, the pillars of the hall need to be reinforced and rinsed. The lake water needs to be drained and silted, and the flowers, plants and trees need to be re-piled and replanted. The damaged granaries and stewards need to be repaired, and the furniture in various places must be equipped one by one, which cannot be completed in a year." Wei Tianzhong said.

"How long does it take, Shangshu Wei?" Zhao Bing frowned after hearing this.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think it may take at least one year to repair it." Wei Tianzhong replied.

"One year?! I don't need you to renovate the same thing as before. As long as you restore the functions of these main halls, the ministry room can be housed, and the back garden will be cleaned. How long will it take?" Zhao Bing asked solemnly with a stern face.

"Your Majesty, if you work day and night, then maybe ten months!" Wei Tianzhong seemed to have estimated and reported.

"Hmph, I will only give you one month at most!" Zhao Bing snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, it's really difficult for me to complete the one-month construction period!" Wei Tianzhong said with politeness.

"Your Majesty, Beigong has always been the place where the late emperor abdicates and cultivates his country. This is the time when Your Majesty rises up and restores the country. Those who settle in this area know that Your Majesty is saving the country's military funds and does not work for the people to rest and recuperate. However, those who do not know the inside story will inevitably misunderstand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, which will cause criticism from the court and the public, and will damage Your Majesty's reputation. It is better to find another place!" Yao Liangchen said again at this time.
