Chen Shu's mother passed away. In the Song Dynasty, Ding You did not have three years. Of course, it would be best if he could survive three years, but it was impossible for a capable minister like Chen Shu to survive three years. After one hundred days, an edict would be issued to reinstate him, also known as Seize love. However, during these 100 days, small sheds must be built, music, singing, dancing, meat and fish, and all entertainment activities are prohibited. It would be unfilial to live an ascetic life in a small shed for a hundred days. Chen Shu carefully managed the country's finances, and his health was almost through. Coupled with the hundred days of ascetic life and the grief after his mother's death, although he was appointed as the governor of Kaifeng again after a hundred days, he passed away soon after. . Like Song Jiu, this person doesn't like to talk too much. Therefore, no one paid attention to the credit. However, during the Xianping period, wars were fought and benefits were given, but the country became better, the people became richer, and the finances increased. It is not only the credit of Zhao Heng's Xianping rule, but also the credit of prime ministers such as Lu Mengzheng, Lu Duan, Zhang Qixian, Xiang Minzhong and Li Hang. Chen Shu's careful management cannot be ignored. As for Kou Zhun, it has nothing to do with Kou Zhun, his contribution lies behind. Therefore, Song Jiu insisted that Zhao Heng give him a posthumous title of Wen Mo, with the title of Wen in the world of latitude and longitude, Wen with extensive knowledge in morality, Wen with diligence and inquiring, Wen with kindness and love for the people, Wen with kindness to the people and courtesy, and Wen with titles of virtuous and upright people. He said Mo. Wen Mozheng was a portrayal of Chen Shu's life, and asked Lu Mengzheng to write a Shinto stele for him. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Song Jiu entered the palace, found Zhao Heng and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Li Jilong should know Shengzhou." Zhao Heng's face changed slightly. Zhi Shengzhou told the truth and had wronged Li Jilong, but now Shengzhou governs most of the Nanhetao area, including hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed there who train day and night. Song Jiu said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, you can't harm the country's pillars because of a small person. I can guarantee it." "This" "There is no shortage of generals now. In my opinion, the country has at least twenty There are many good generals, but Wang Chao can only be ranked at the bottom among the more than 20 good generals." Song Jiu did not mean to belittle Wang Chao. The number he mentioned was only about 20 generals. There are many generals in the country from middle to high. Wang Chao can. Being ranked in the top twenty is considered overrated. "But what the country lacks is a commander, a commander who can command hundreds of thousands of troops in combat. In my opinion, even if generals such as Yang Yanzhao and Wei Neng are able to fight on the front line, they may not be able to do so. For no other reason, they lack a commander to command so many soldiers. Horse experience. However, no one dares to test it. Your Majesty, please think again." Zhao Heng is still hesitant. Song Jiu wanted to scold Wang Jien¡¯s mother. He had no choice but to say: "For example, Lu Mengzheng once helped the second prince in the past, but now he is not loyal to His Majesty. Another example is Wei Chigong, Cheng Zhijie and others of the Tang Dynasty, who was not the enemy of Emperor Taizong in the past. Besides, Li Jilong." Song Jiu persuaded him for a long time before Zhao Heng agreed. Of course, this is the last board. I also want to thank someone. The ministers of the Liao State fled to the Song Dynasty and surrendered. When they met Zhao Heng, he said that the Han troops in Youzhou under the control of the Liao State were about 18,000 horses, and the generals they assigned were Khitan, Jiu Nuxi, North and South Pishi, Dangzhen Relics, and Eight Tribes. The relics, the armies of the four towns behind the mountain, number about 180,000 and more, including 5,600 regular guards of the Khitan Lord, and the remaining 93,950, who are immediately invading troops from the south. "Let's put it this way. There are not many Khitan troops left." "Your Majesty, no, all the people in the Northern Kingdom are soldiers. If necessary, they can immediately mobilize troops to the Xi, Lin, Bohai, Shatuo, Tuhun and other tribes. They can even send troops to Shi. Wei, Jurchen, Tatar and Ugu Dilie mobilized their forces. For example, when Yelu Xiezhen mobilized nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses, claiming to be 700,000, to attack the 400,000 cavalry, there was no sound in the hall. . The Liao Kingdom only had about 100,000 cavalry going south each time, but that time the Song Dynasty fought very hard and even failed. If 400,000 Liao cavalry went south, it would be a nightmare for the Song Dynasty. Under this pressure, Zhao Heng agreed to Li Jilong going to Shengzhou. Facts have proved that Shengzhou was also fake. The main purpose was to let Li Jilong understand these powerful forces now so that they can be easily commanded in the future. ¡ The person Song Jiu respected the most was not Chen Shu, but Chen Shu ranked second. Although this person was once his subordinate, Song Jiu taught him many theories. The person whom I respect the most is not Lu Mengzheng. Lu Mengzheng has a great reputation, but he feels that his reputation is a bit unfulfilled. In fact, in Song Jiu's heart, Lu Mengzheng's status was not as good as Zhang Qixian's. But it¡¯s not Zhang Qixian. Zhang Qixian is too bold and unrestrained, and Song Jiu can¡¯t learn from him. ????????? Not to mention Xiang Minzhong, Xiang Minzhong is not as good as Lu Mengzheng. As for Lu Duan¡¯s demeanor as prime minister, Song Jiu has never seen it and will not comment.?. The person he respects most may be unknown to many people, and that is the Holy Prime Minister Li Hang. This is a monster-like figure. Zhao Heng went to Daming Mansion, while Li Hang stayed in the capital. When he came back, the capital was well governed. Zhao Heng had a heart-to-heart talk with him and asked what he should pay attention to when governing the country. Li Hang said, don't choose people who are superficial and eager to achieve great results. , this is the most important thing to pay attention to. You can compare it with the history of the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty Kou Zhun had a good relationship with Ding Wei at this time, and recommended it to Li Hang many times. Li Hang disagreed, saying that considering Ding Wei's character, how could he be placed in the position? High position. Kou Zhun said, can you suppress a person like Ding Wei for the rest of his life? Li Hang said, if you regret it in the future, you will think of my words. Later, Kou Zhun was framed by Ding Wei, and then he thought about it and regretted it. Li Hang presented the report of floods and droughts and thieves from all directions to Zhao Heng every day. Wang Dan thought it was a trivial matter and it was not enough to bother him to listen to it. Li Hang said, "Young master, you should know the sufferings of the people. Otherwise, if you are strong-willed and do not pay attention to the sounds, dogs and horses, you will be a civil servant." It is a work of praying to the temple. I am old and can no longer see it. You are still young. I am afraid it will cause you trouble in the future. Later, Zhao Heng went around looking for gods, which made Wang Dan worried. This is not something Song Jiu admires, just a little admiration. Zhao Kuangyi demoted him before, and Song Jiu slightly looked down on him. This time he came to Zhongshu, heard and witnessed, and saw with his own eyes how Li Hang did things. He didn't argue or quarrel, he just did it. Even Song Jiu had Goldfinger. He is far from being able to handle many things like this. Li Hang was the greatest contributor to the Xianping rule. But Song Jiu overlooked one thing, and that was how many brain cells it took to do this. "But before Zhao Heng changed his reign name in order to make Liu E a beauty, later Li Hang became seriously ill. Zhao Heng took his ministers to visit Li Hang. Li Hang was bedridden, but looked at Song Jiu. "Mr. Li, what do you have to say?" "What will I do after it's done?" "After it's done, I have to take care of my affairs. I believe that the country's people's livelihood will become very difficult at that time, but whether it's done in a year or not, I will be an official. "My husband is sick. I don't have the heart to live in peace." , Just like Tang Xuanzong treated Xue Na, of course Xue Na is far inferior to him." "I know." "Li Hang will have to work hard in the future. Song Jiu was miserable. Do you really count on Wang Qinruo and Wang Dan? Wang Qinruo has the ability, but his conduct is too poor, and Wang Dan is too young. Now it can only be said that he is being cultivated slowly. There is also Lu Mengzheng, who seems to be sick too. Then Song Jiu will be very miserable. "Alas, once Chen Shu leaves, our dynasty will lose one Guan Zhong. If Jun then it will lose one Xiao He. Or Fang Du." Song Jiu sighed. Of course, many people could not understand their conversation. But it doesn't matter, Zhao Heng understood. You can¡¯t blame Li Hang. Song Jiu¡¯s prestige is too high now, and many important ministers are his subordinates or students. After saying this, Li Hang closed his eyes with peace of mind. Zhao Heng burst into tears. In July of the first year of Jingde, Li Hang, who was only fifty-seven years old, passed away. Later, Lu Mengzheng also became ill and asked for help to become an official. Zhao Heng was also afraid that something might happen to Lu Mengzheng. So I agreed. Zhao Heng had no choice but to bring Bi Shi'an up. In recent years, he had made great achievements in river management. First, he did not worry about the people, second, there were no disputes, and third, the accounts were clear. After several years of management, although the Yellow River water flow was very strong the year before last, there was no shortage of embankments, but waterlogging was unavoidable. But it is better than the Yellow River bursting its banks. But for Bi Shian himself, firstly, he has achieved political achievements, and secondly, he has accumulated a lot of practical experience. Having Bi Shi'an is not enough. There are many things to do in the future. The Song Dynasty has invested a lot of money in the military in recent years, including scouts, and even bribed several senior officials of the Liao Kingdom, thus obtaining some secret information of the Liao Kingdom. The news was just sent over, so that¡¯s why Li Han said those words. In fact, Song Jiu admired Li Hang, and Li Hang also admired Song Jiu very much, but he never dreamed that Song Jiu had a golden finger. Therefore, it is not enough to have Bi Shi'an. Zhao Heng asked who can go forward with you? Bi Shi'an said that he is both loyal and righteous, capable of handling important matters, and is not as good as his ministers. Zhao Heng said worriedly: "I heard that the invaders were just angry. What can I do?" "Zhun forgot his body and favored the country. He followed the Tao and was sick of evil, so he was not liked by the people. Now the north is not convinced. If Zhun is right, he should use it." " Bi Shi'an sent Kou Zhun to Zhongshu with just one sentence. Kou Zhun once again entered Zhongshu. But he looked up and saw two people above, Bi Shi'an was the second Lu Duan, but still??A person is like a mountain. Song Jiu smiled when he saw Kou Zhun coming, and then handed him a pamphlet. "Look, Pingzhong, this is the number of households calculated by the Ministry of Revenue last year. There are more than 7.8 million people. How many people did Taizong have in the world in his later years? How many more people did the world increase in just six years? More than two million Husband! Of course, there is also the income of the Third Division. Chen Shu recommended you to go to the Third Division. You know better than me. But how many wars have occurred in these years? There were so many disasters, droughts, locust plagues, the Yellow River bursting its banks, floods, and epidemics. It was so difficult to achieve this. "The reason why I want to say this and achieve this is not only because your Majesty launched the Xianping Campaign with great dedication. , as well as the efforts of the prime ministers and ministers, there is also an atmosphere, such as Zhongshu. In fact, there are conflicts between the prime ministers. For example, Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong have never been harmonious. But the country is developing rapidly, why? Everyone takes state affairs as their first priority, puts their grudges behind them, and governs the country with one heart." "In the past, Prime Minister Zhao Pu recommended you, and I was very optimistic about you. His Majesty Taizong valued you. Why, you can only do it if you dare to take responsibility! It's a good thing. But don't be impatient No matter how bad it is, you can't be the governor of a big state, but extending your political life is for the sake of the country. " Song Jiu's words. It can be said that he is not serious about his words. However, Kou Zhun soon became dissatisfied with Song Jiu. With Xiang Min in charge, there is always a vacancy in the West Mansion for Prime Minister. The deputy privy envoy was also replaced by someone who was familiar with the Privy Council. Of course, it would be fine if the eastern and western mansions could be merged, but Song Jiu knew that was not the case. So I put forward a suggestion: every ten days, if the country encounters serious difficulties, then every three to five days, the governors of the east and west prefectures, the important envoys of the three departments, the officials of the two systems, and the ministers above the censor , all gathered in the Political Hall, chaired by Zhao Heng, to discuss the country's military, political and financial affairs. This is to prevent ministries and departments from decentralizing their powers and not being familiar with each other, thus causing delays in government affairs. After all, government affairs are all connected. For example, government affairs do not consider military affairs and finance, and military affairs do not consider government affairs and finance? Officials of the two systems drafted edicts, and the field and ministers were equivalent to a kind of supervision agency. However, if they didn't know how to supervise the military and political finances, could they just focus on the household affairs of the ministers? This is the improvement of the system. Zhao Heng agreed. However, Song Jiu recommended another person to come back, and Zhao Heng agreed, which was to re-appoint Zhang Qixian and Wang Jiying as privy envoys. Kou Zhun immediately objected. But after he said it before, he immediately felt that something was wrong, so there were two rays of cold light that made him feel cold all over, and that was the look in the eyes of Song Jiu and Zhao Heng. PS: There is a big power outage todaythere will be another update soon, the biggest "gaochao" has arrived.
