    Chapter 288: Three Major Events To completely annihilate the remaining Jurchen alliance of the Wanyan Twelve Tribes that has formed a powerful and large-scale alliance, it is necessary to destroy their internal unity. As the brain of the second largest Wanyan Twelve Tribes,  Yan Lan's attitude is worthy of everyone's attention.  Ouyang originally thought that Wanyan Lan had been squeezed out of its residual value, but then he discovered that Wanyan Lan, who had been squeezed dry, still had her unique charm.  This scam was arranged by Tai Xuzi.  Wanyan Lan will meet several of Yuan Zonghan's subordinates at the front and kill several generals that Wanyan Wu begged for.  This news would quickly reach the ears of the Jurchens, causing misunderstandings and discord within the Jurchens.  When conflicts arise between the Jurchens, Zhang Jun will order Jin Si to use the flag of the Yanlan tribe to enter the first natural barrier in the desert-Pali Ali, and eat tigers with pigs. Not only can he capture Pali Ali, but also create Wanyan Ten  The sharp internal conflicts in the second department eventually completely destroyed the remaining Jurchen military forces.  And Wanyanlan is the most critical link.  The matter was completed by Tai Xuzi, Zhang Jun and Jin Si. After Ouyang deceived Yan Lan and went on the road, what he had to worry about was the current imperial election.  This was the Song Dynasty's first official choice to supervise the country after half a year of nonsense.  The Jianguo has a very important right and can appoint candidates for seven positions, including the Six Ministers and the Prefect of Kaifeng.  The Yushitai can be sent to investigate certain areas of dissatisfaction, and then the Yushitai will report to the Ministry of Personnel in accordance with the rules, and the Ministry of Personnel will submit the handling opinions to the Ministry of Education for approval.  The announcement of this right made all officials stunned for a long time.  Then a strange phenomenon occurred. Li Gang, who was originally the most popular, became unpopular.  Instead, Wu Min became the most popular candidate.  Although Wu Min was secretly happy about this situation, he could not be happy for long. After the three factions held a private meeting, they jointly explained in the Royal Newspaper that no matter who came to power, the three factions would severely crack down on officials who were corrupt and harmed the people.  So Li Gang became a popular candidate again.  Some people have already understood that neither Zhou Ping nor Ouyang intends to let representatives of their own interest groups take the lead in supervising the country.  They are working together to bring Li Gang online.  Through Li Gang's three-year transition, the election process was adjusted.  The Qing Yi officials have made detailed regulations on elections and draft laws.  First of all, it is stipulated that imperial power is supreme and the emperor's authority is incomparable.  Second, the official position of the candidate for the qualification of supervising the country must be a Jinshi of the fifth rank or above or an official with the same background as a Jinshi.  Third, candidates must not have any stain that violates ethics or angers others.  Fourth, candidates must be recommended by at least ten fifth-grade Beijing officials and second-grade or above military attach¨¦s before they can become candidates.  The right to vote is also relatively liberal.  Officials across the country who meet the conditions can vote in the referendum within the specified time.  But not many meet the conditions.  The conditions require that local officials be of the fourth rank or above. Only the first officer of the Marshal Division and the military governor are eligible to vote, while military generals must be of the second rank or above.  There are less than twenty people in these local military generals in the country, especially second-grade generals and above, including Han Shizhong and Liu Qi.  So the main force is still in the capital.  The leaders are the minister, deputy minister, first secretary-general, and second secretary-general.  xx Committee, xx Department, xx Research Institute, xx Bureau The sixth grade of Ouyang County magistrate is considered to be the highest, and the fifth grade of Shouzhou magistrate.  The prefect of the government category is the fifth grade.  But the mayor of Tokyo, that is, the governor of Kaifeng, is a senior official of the fourth rank, and is already an official rank who is qualified to be a candidate. ?¡­ ?Ouyang feels that the recent supplement to the Royal Newspaper has become a routine.  As a businessman, Ouyang understands what public credibility is.  The Royal News is not like some modern newspapers that are so shameless as to warmly congratulate xx and so on, but they also count the newspaper money from the common people.  There will be no additional charge for the content of the supplement, and non-newspaper information will not be included in the newspaper layout.  There was only one page in the Royal newspaper that was originally an adjunct.  In May, the first thing that attracted everyone¡¯s attention was the final decisive battle against the Jurchens, and the second was the migration and development policy against Mongolia and Western Liao.  There is also the first general election of the Supervisor of the Song Dynasty.  The war against the Jurchens has actually been going on for more than ten years. From the beginning, the Song Dynasty used the policy of "consumption" to continue to weaken the national and military strength of the Jurchens and Khitans.  In the Song Dynasty, he played a less honorable role.  A shameless person is invincible, and a shameless country is even more invincible.  On the one hand, the Song Dynasty had a good relationship with the Jurchens, and on the other hand, it continuously transported weapons to the Khitan, allowing the Khitans to kill and kill the Jurchens.  But if we get to modern times, we will find that people in the Song Dynasty are still very gentlemen.  For example, Bin Laden, whom many people know, was initially an underground organization that the United States helped and supported him to establish a certain strength to resist the Soviet invaders.  Americans previously called him the great freedom fighter.  Ever since Uncle Ben did 9 things and violated the interests of the United States, freedom fighters have turned into terrorists.  Just like a certain monk is now called a religious person, if one day this monk slaps an American, the religious person will immediately become an extreme religious person.  Whether you are a good person or a bad person mainly depends on whether your relationship with me is good or not.  The American face-changing tactics are quite powerful, from the president to the common people.  Such as the change of attitude before and after the Huhuhu incident brought down the JurchensPeople disrupted the Jurchens' idea of ????supporting war with war and consumed the Jurchens' fighting power.  If Wanyan Aguda was smart, he should have united with the Khitans early in the morning.  Because even if the Jurchens really defeated the Khitan, they would still have to accept the challenge of the Song Dynasty.  After the Song Army declared war against the Jurchens, the Song Army was unstoppable. Although the progress was somewhat sluggish due to the influence of climate and local conditions, with its overall strength and the general's wisdom, it successfully captured Huanglong Mansion and completely announced the Jurchen Era.  end.  Mongolia and Xiliao marched smoothly. They had no idea why the Song army would suddenly launch a full-scale attack on them. While the Song army was attacking, they were still arguing about the position of Khan and alliance leader.  Even if there were individual tribes that coordinated resistance against the Song army, firearms were beyond their knowledge, and the Song army unceremoniously took the Mongolian prairie as their own.  After occupying Mongolia, Liu Kai's troops divided into two groups, heading toward Xiliao and north to compete with Russia for the extended grassland area.  Liu Qi's slogan is, hit him wherever you can.  Since the land is occupied, it is natural to consider using it.  If the Han people do not use it, such fertile grasslands will breed new nomads sooner or later.  But what benefits can be given to the people so that they will be willing to go to the grassland?  The policy of the imperial court was to enclose land for grazing.  Change nomadic herding to fixed-point grazing, and change unowned land into owned land.  The most popular method is for a man to ride on horseback for half an hour, and within half an hour all the land will belong to him.  Then this land becomes the legal land of men. Men can graze, plant, breed, build houses, set fires, poison, and beat their wives in this area There will be a county in a certain area to facilitate the management of Han officials, and each county will have  Thousands of imperial troops were amassed to protect the interests of their enclosure.  The Han people can also protect themselves and organize teams to deal with emergencies.  As for the original residents, there are generally several measures taken. The first is massacre. Any tribe that resists on a large scale will encounter tribal attacks.  The second is expulsion. These are tribes that gave up their land through certain negotiations and moved northward.  The third is buying and selling. Without the first two situations, that is, without resisting or negotiating, the population will be plundered and sent to the illegal labor trafficking center in Hangzhou for trading.  The fourth aspect is rewards and gifts, which are aimed at the beautiful women of these tribes.  They were used as gifts, especially the daughters and wives of Khans, who were very popular with court officials because they had a different flavor than their own wives.  It wasn't until Zhao Yu brought two typical cases to Yushitai, implicating several officials and people around Zhang Jun, that everyone restrained themselves.  The last topic is to supervise national elections.  Since Ouyang went to Cangzhou prison for a desertion a few days ago, the ninth father-in-law could only meet with Ouyang on the eve of the election.  Mr. Jiu went straight to the point: "Mr. Ou, His Majesty asked us to ask you a question. Please answer it truthfully." "Yes" "The first question is, will supervising national elections in this way affect the reputation of the royal family?" Ouyang replied: "Of course.  No, but it will affect some royal rights and may also cause dissatisfaction among some princes. " "Second question, how can Mr. Ou ensure that the Zhao family can continue to rule the world? " "The election is a law, and the military power is in the hands of the emperor.  . Since there are more than three parties in the court, it is absolutely impossible for one party to dominate the government. Not to mention that no one dares to cause trouble, even if someone has the intention.  Powerless." Ouyang said: "The most important thing is that the ministers will no longer support non-Zhao family members as emperors. With the transfer of power, the position of emperor is no longer as coveted as before, and the competition for the position of supervising the country will inevitably become more intense.  But the military power is in the hands of the emperor. No matter how fierce it is, it is impossible to cause a mutiny. Therefore, the current situation is more stable than the situation in the Song Dynasty, and it is less likely to cause war. Even if the people rebel, it is because of the unfavorable supervision of the country, not the emperor.  "My fault." Ninth Eunuch smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Mr. Ou, for answering questions two, three, four, five and six. Article 7, if I am unhappy one day, can I abolish my position as superintendent of the country?" Ouyang thought about it.  Huidao said: "If the emperor dethrones the first time, his descendants will inevitably dethrone the second time. Then there will be a third time, a fourth time Then your majesty's efforts for the position of supervising the country will be in vain. And also  It will aggravate the conflict between the ministers and the emperor. "Jiu Gonggong said: "The eighth question: What should I do if I think the supervisor is not competent?" "The emperor can ask the Yushitai to investigate this person first.  If someone commits a crime, the Dali Temple can convict him of his power to supervise the country. The emperor can also express his distrust in the superintendent and let everyone vote again, but he must not abolish the power of supervising the country at will because of personal preference.  "The ninth question is: Do you think it is necessary for me to be a monk?" "The Song Dynasty is now rich and powerful, and it can afford to waste money." Ouyang said: "The policy of supervising the country will inevitably cause all kinds of troubles.  The most indispensable thing is the emperor's authority??.  Consecrate Zen to Mount Tai and tell the world.  Not only does it show the emperor's prestige, but it is also a strategy to stabilize the country and protect the descendants of the Zhao family for generations to come.  " "The tenth question.  "Jiu Gonggong asked: "If you have to pass through Yangping to go to Mount Tai to worship Zen" "Well this is a good question.  Ouyang Khan said: "I can't answer. It's best not to go through Yangping."  " "The eleventh question.  "Nine Eunuchs looked at the handwriting and asked: "Who is elected to supervise the country this time?  "Li Gang" Ouyang said: "In return, he will pay more attention to the development of business and agree to increase the rotation of doctor seats within the government. Two doctors will be produced from outstanding businessmen in Hangzhou and Yangping."  There are six other occupations: agriculture, industry, fishing, government service, Xiang army, and imperial army.  Four-year rotation, during which the court provides subsidies.  Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.  Even if they can't say it, or even don't know what they want, they will use their own identities to think about the consequences of each policy of the imperial court on their careers, and whether they can accept it, their families, and their  Can the people around you accept it?  In the past hundred years of the Song Dynasty, more than a hundred mobs had broken out, seriously damaging the foundation of the Song Dynasty and consuming the national power of the Song Dynasty.  So we must let them participate in court discussions, such as the Supreme Emperor, does he know the harm Hua Shi Gang has caused to the people?  I don't think it's that the Supreme Emperor is cruel, but that he doesn't know the whole story.  ¡± Such insider trading, Ouyang took it easy and did not feel any shame at all. It is not that Ouyang does not know the truth of a gentleman¡¯s magnanimity, but he fundamentally believes that everyone who participates in the election is hypocritical.  For example, when Xiami first elected the secretary of the Youth League branch, he had to bribe more than ten bowls of clear soup noodles to get it. The guy who elected the squad leader used braised chicken wings, which Xiami couldn't do Eunuch Jiu smiled bitterly: "Master Ou, you only have to answer the question.  An answer.  You said so much, how can our family remember it?  " "Then write it.  Ouyang Xiao asked: "Why, the emperor is walking around, is he in good spirits?"  " Ninth father-in-law took the paper and wrote: "It's really good. Our family is very knowledgeable.  The emperor said that she often traveled to the south of the Yangtze River in her early years. Now she goes to the north to see the deserts and grasslands. It is really a unique experience.  The emperor said that the rivers and mountains were great, and then he understood why so many emperors liked to conquer in person.  Next question: What private deals did you make with Li Xiang?  "" After recording the answer to the question, Mr. Jiu said: "The trip to Mount Tai in the spring next year will be a big event to announce to the world. Mr. Ou must supervise and supervise."  Ouyang hurriedly said: "Ninth Eunuch, I am just a deputy prime minister. I have already taken leave for next year."  Besides, only the Minister of Household Affairs is the official appointed by me.  Regarding matters related to the Ministry of Etiquette, you'd better go to the Ministry of Etiquette.  " "Ha, you asked for leave again.  "Nine Eunuchs smiled bitterly again: "Your Majesty is right, he said that you are a master who can't stay still.  " Ouyang said politely: "The imperial court has its own capable people.  Besides, just don¡¯t care.  I give out twelve opinions a year, and people will agree to half of them, which is a sign of respect for me.  If I only express one opinion a year and they don't agree with it, I'm not giving myself face.  " "" This wishful thinking was a good one. Jiu Gongzheng said: "The emperor said that since Ouyang is not diligent in his work, after the election, he will go to Huanglong Mansion to wait for the emperor and accompany him to visit the Jurchen land.  " Ouyang asked in a daze: "Why should I go?  "Jiu Gongzheng said: "You and the emperor are more casual, and you are more familiar with the Jurchen land, so naturally you went.  " It turns out that Ouyang understands this better. Zhao Yu went out and met a group of people at the back door. If Zhao Yu didn't speak, they didn't dare to speak. When Zhao Yu asked, they would only answer. When asked where to go, they would only answer that it was safe.  The best place to go. Ouyang was different. He knew how to play and dared to play. He and Song Huizong jumped over the river and rushed across the bamboo rafts to steal the chicken.  Will be responsible to the emperor, rather than being bribed privately, etc. Soon, the first general election of the Supervisor Kingdom began. Although the three factions have already decided on the candidates for the Supervisor Country, the three factions have not decided.  The total is less than half. Moreover, Li Gang is also willing to listen to the political opinions of some non-sectarians. He holds several positions as ministers of important departments and can choose suitable people to fill them. However, the first term.  The choice is not perfect, at least for some people, because the Yushitai impeached six officials, most of whom were relatively core officials of the three factions, that is, they had secretly contacted some people who had voted.  Those who were qualified and who promised or gave them certain benefits were all arrested. The minister of Dali Temple also announced that under the emperor's order, any official who uses money or benefits to buy votes is tantamount to violating the imperial pen, which means bullying the emperor.  Those who benefited from it were put to death, and those who benefited from it had their property confiscated and were exiled for three thousand miles.Zhao Yu's act was quite serious. If it were in the past, if Zhao Yu wanted to execute ministers, especially ministers of fourth rank or above, a bunch of officials would come to plead for mercy. Even political opponents would not want to be executed one day in the future.  But since Yushitai and Dali Temple are two separate units, even Li Gang can't give orders. Their leaders simply don't listen and dare not listen to the ministers' pleas.  According to the rules, the election was postponed for three days, and all the offending officials were killed and exiled within three days, and the matter was dealt with neatly.  However, everyone was still very dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's approach of killing first and then telling the truth. Li Gang and more than a dozen ministers wrote to Zhao Yu, explaining tactfully that Zhao Yu's handling of the matter was inappropriate.  They think it's okay to kill officials who committed crimes, but they didn't explain in advance what they were guilty of for interfering in the election, so it's very unfair.  But they just dare to talk, what else can they do?  Besides, people should be killed even if they deserve it! However, the people support this matter, and they don¡¯t want the election to be just an activity of veteran officials.  The public is not willing to let Li Gang be elected, because Li Gang's ideas are not very helpful to business and agricultural development, while the political ideas of the other two people can greatly increase the employment rate and increase the per capita cultivated land area.  For people at the grassroots level, it is not a good thing for Li Gang to take office.  Of course, ordinary grassroots farmers do not have time to consider such issues. They are mostly workers in the business districts around Tokyo.  They know a little bit about politics and know very well who will benefit them the most from being in power.  Unfortunately, it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to hold a referendum for at least a few decades. The right to speak is still controlled by the gentry, landlords and businessmen. In politics, it can only be the stage for these three professions for the time being.
