"A king can be smart, but he can't be confident!" Zhao Pu sighed, "Putting your confidence on auspiciousness is the way to death!" After saying this, Zhao Pu threw the auspicious memorial in the aside, never pay attention to it again. He has a lot of things to deal with and has no time to pay attention to flashy things. The Northern Expedition lasted for a year and a half and finally achieved a decisive victory. This victory, like a timely rain, eliminated all kinds of negative effects, and the originally shaky Song Dynasty became more consolidated. Zhao Pu was a little happy, but more fortunate. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As soon as the troops and horses move, will bring thousands of taels of gold! ¡°The most expensive business in the world is war. As soon as the war started, food, equipment, military supplies, etc. started flowing away. Money flowed away like water, and you couldn't stop it even if you wanted to. In this year and a half, the Song Dynasty spent 50 million yuan, and there were still many places in debt. Fortunately, the imperial court owed debts, and no one dared to ask for them, so they just owed them. The imperial government's finances had already been in deficit, and they had no choice but to issue treasury bonds again. There were also complaints among the people, accusing them of the Northern Expedition and the militancy. The refugee rebellion, which had been silenced and found no trace, also reared its head again. In the imperial court, the peacemaker faction reappeared. For a moment, Zhao Pu felt like he was the enemy of the whole world. He didn¡¯t have any friends, there were enemies everywhere, and there were accusations everywhere. At this time, a series of problems also emerged during the reform, and party strife reappeared. A storm is coming, like a typhoon coming and destroying everything. Zhao Pu was so nervous that the imperial guards imposed martial law in order to prevent the rebellion from happening again. At this time, all the elite troops are on the front line. If someone attempts a coup, it will be really dangerous. If the refugee rebellion breaks out again and is manipulated by conspirators, causing great turmoil, there is really no way to send troops to suppress it! In anxiety. Zhao Pu gritted his teeth and persisted. Finally, the sound of successive victories on the front line was ushered in. At the time of establishment, all kinds of rumors, all kinds of dissatisfaction, all kinds of quarrels, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts, all stopped one after another. I don¡¯t dare to make trouble anymore, I am as obedient as a well-behaved baby! Zhao Pucai breathed a long sigh of relief. But this doesn¡¯t mean everything is fine, there are still a lot of troubles that need to be dealt with! The front line achieved a decisive victory, but the lost ground was recovered and the remnants of the Jin Army were annihilated. It will still take time; the soldiers who were injured and killed on the front line need to be compensated, which is an astronomical figure; officials will be dispatched to receive them, manage the lost land, appease the people, send relief supplies, etc. ?Thousands of threads, hundreds of wastes waiting to be revitalized! The Song Dynasty was rejuvenated. This is just the first step, there is still a long journey ahead! ¡¡¡ At this time, Zhang Jun walked into Wan Qigao¡¯s mansion. Since the Battle of Fuping, Zhang Jun has been treated coldly. He was not demoted, but was completely transferred to a civilian position, and was separated from military affairs. In fact, this is not an isolated case. Many civil servants have been squeezed out of military affairs, and are either placed in cold yamen, in the logistics department, or as clerks. There are very few civilians among the frontline leading generals. In fact, it cannot be said that there are no literati. "It's just a lot of literati. He betrayed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and completely devoted himself to martial arts. Most of them hold military positions and no longer have civilian positions; their shadows rarely appear in ordinary banquets. In order to avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion and civil and military collusion, no emperor felt at ease. These literati have transformed very dramatically and have completely become warriors. Watching the fierce fighting on the front line, Zhang Jun felt itchy in his heart. He wanted to ask for a fight many times and went to the front line, but he was rejected by the emperor. The emperor always said that civil and military affairs should not interfere with military affairs, and military affairs should not interfere with literature. If civil and military forces are separated, the world will be governed. This made Zhang Jun feel full of regret. Until now, the victory of the Northern Expedition has become a foregone conclusion! "Now, the victory of the Northern Expedition is in hand, the military power is expanding wildly, and we, the literati, have no place to stand!" Drinking tea, Zhang Jun stated his purpose. "When fighting a war, we naturally need military commanders. We, the literati, don't know how to fight, so we go to the battlefield just to make a fool of ourselves!" Wan Qigao said with a smile, "The emperor attaches great importance to military men, and the military men live up to expectations, and the front lines are victorious one after another. Even the tigers and wolves are like tigers and wolves. The Jurchens were defeated one after another and were almost destroyed! " "So what? If the military forces are not restrained, the military disaster will happen again, and the feudal towns will be divided and the world will be in chaos soon!" Zhang Jun said angrily. Wanqi Gao said with a smile, "The Jurchens have only been maimed and not completely destroyed. How can the emperor attack the warriors? The emperor often relies on warriors, so we might as well endure it!" "How can we turn a blind eye to the great calamity of the country? !" Zhang Jun said. "What do you think of Zhang Zhongshu?" Wan Qigao asked. ¡°?To eliminate the disaster caused by warriors, we should start with beating, and then cut off the power of warriors! Taizu had a glass of wine to release his military power, so I think the emperor would also drink a glass of wine to release his military power! "Zhang Jun said, "And I am willing to be a villain! " "What should I do? " "Wang Yan, as the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, has many indiscretions. The city of Damingfu was destroyed, even though the soldiers burned, killed and looted, leading to a massacre of the city. Corpses were everywhere and not a single citizen was left alive. How could we not impeach this beastly behavior? Wang Yancang rushed in in panic and was ambushed by Jin Wushu, killing five thousand people. The cavalry was wiped out" Then Zhang Jun kept talking about the crimes of the warriors. "The Northern Expedition seemed to be a victory, but in fact there were many defeats; it seemed like a great and upright recovery of lost territory, but there were also many bad things. Where there is light, there must be shadows! They all focused on the victory of the Northern Expedition, but ignored the problems that occurred during the Northern Expedition. Zhang Jun was a literati and one of the few literati who knew the military. He was keenly aware of the problems that existed in the Northern Expedition. It's just a way to attack the generals. Those generals who may not be able to move to the front line in one fell swoop will leave a thorn in the emperor's heart. "This is not good!" "Wan Qi Gao looked at the folded book, his face a little livid. "You don't understand the emperor! "Zhang Jun said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing is facts. As long as it is true, even if it doesn't sound good, the emperor will take it seriously. All this happened to me, without any fabrication or exaggeration, so why not! " "Are we really going to go that far? "Wan Qigao asked. "This is the only way! "Zhang Jun said. The next day, it was time to go to court again. Sitting on the Dragon Throne, Zhao Pu was in an unprecedented mood. In the past, when he became the emperor, he mostly relied on his bloodline, his surname, and the emperor. The authority of the emperor was somewhat fake, but at this moment, he relied on his ability and the prestige brought by the victory of the Northern Expedition. At this time, in the Song Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats and kings still ruled the world, but Zhao Pu's power was expanded as never before. When it comes to autocracy or dictatorship, we no longer suffer from the anger of the ministers, fight with them, and fight with each other! "The sound of the eunuch singing a promise rang out. "I have something to report! "At this time, Zhang Jun spoke and walked out of the train. "I don't know what the matter is? " "I impeached the deputy marshal of the Central Route Army, Wang Yan. Even though the soldiers were illegal, he looted the Daming Mansion and concealed the defeat" As he spoke, Zhang Jun started talking, detailing Wang Yan's "eight major crimes." Zhao Pu listened. As he stood, he frowned, the tree was still but the wind was still blowing. The external fighting had just ended, but he didn't expect that the internal fighting would start again. "This is a tip for impeachment!" " Zhang Jun submitted the impeachment report. Zhao Pu took the report and looked through it. Most of the contents described in the report were true. There was no bias or expansion. There was no excuse to refute. Some of them were inconsistent with the truth. Wang Yan's remarks echoed each other. There was indeed a massacre in Daming Mansion! Some generals did commit illegal acts! Zhang Jun's impeachment was very reasonable. From an ethical point of view, it did need to be punished. From the perspective of war, it is very unreasonable. War itself is evil, and it is a violation of ethics and morality. On the battlefield, punishing military commanders for these reasons will chill their hearts. If you don¡¯t punish, it¡¯s hard to convince the public. ¡°Qing family, how do you think we should punish you? " Zhao Pu said. "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor is unkind and cannot protect the world; the princes are unkind and cannot protect the country; the ministers and officials are unkind and cannot protect the ancestral temple; the common people are unkind and cannot protect the four bodies. promising! " "My dynasty governs the world with benevolence, but now General Wang Yan has made a mistake, please have a judge to discuss the crime! " Zhang Jun said. "Then let the Military Justice Department go investigate! " Zhao Pu said. "No! "Zhang Jun said, "Please ask the Ministry of Punishment and the Department of Military Justice to coordinate the management! " "Without evidence, there is no right to speak. General Wang is the commander-in-chief of an army, not a prisoner. The Qing family must not forget that! " Zhao Pu said, his voice was a little cold, and he changed the topic and said, "The north has just been pacified, and it needs to be sorted out. I will go to Kaifeng to calm the people! "
