Views:

"Wu Xun has been beaten and disabled. If you want to fight against the civil servants again, it is natural that your grandfather's support is indispensable. In this way, the importance of the grandfather is reflected in the grandfather's desire to use martial arts to suppress the civil servants. How to suppress it depends entirely on my grandfather."

Kou Ji's detailed analysis made Kou Zhun's heart jump.

Kou Ji's use of culture to govern martial arts, and martial arts to govern martial arts, is clearly playing the Manchu civil martial arts.

Once things are revealed, their grandparents and grandchildren will become targets of public criticism.

Kou Zhun bowed his head hesitantly.

Kou Ji seemed to see Kou Zhun's worry, and laughed in a low voice: "Grandfather, you and I have now become targets of public criticism, so there is nothing to worry about."

Kou Zhun was taken aback and laughed loudly, "Yes, you are right, the old man and you have become targets of public criticism, there is nothing to worry about."

"After the old man goes to court tomorrow, I will try what you said."

After saying this, Kou Zhun pondered for a moment, and looked at Kou Ji again: "Since you can't get used to the way the officials do things, you can also take advantage of Wang Qinruo's treatment when he is at home.

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "This is natural."

As time passed, it was the second day.

Kou Zhun went to the palace after getting dressed.

He did not enter the palace in the Kou bus today, nor did he let the eunuchs sent from the palace carry him.

Instead, he raised the court, like a righteous man, and entered the palace alone.

After the ascent.

Facing the quarreling of the Manchu civil and military forces, Kou Zhun sat in a chair silently as usual.

When someone in the Manchu civil and military group suggested that the political minister Wang had retired from the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department and re-elected the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he slowly spoke and said a few words.

The selection of Shangshu candidates for the Ministry of Justice by the Manchu Civil and Military Affairs was not in line with Kou Zhun's wishes.

The Manchu dynasty civil and military recommended three candidates for competition for the penal department, all of which were flawed.

Kou Zhun pointed out their shortcomings and asked the Manchu to choose another candidate.

Some people felt sad when they heard this.

Some people were secretly delighted when they heard this.

Kou Zhun vetoed these three candidates. For some people, it was a lost opportunity for promotion; for some people, three powerful competitors were missing.

The issue of the selection of candidates from the Ministry of Criminal Justice is adjourned to discuss later.

Civil and military officials began a new round of curse wars.

Both sides presented their pros and cons, stating the pros and cons of the abolition or retention of the Xiang army.

They originally thought that Kou Zhun would be the same as before, without saying a word on this issue.

Unexpectedly, Kou Zhun actually spoke today.

Kou Zhun sat on a chair, hugged the court, and said lightly: "Whether the Xiang army is to be abolished, you can talk about it. The court has raised the Xiang army for decades, so you don't mind raising the Xiang army for a few more years.

This year's autumn tax has already been levied, and commercial taxes have also begun to be integrated.

Although the money and grain have not yet been put into storage, judging from the accounts submitted by the Ministry of Households and the Third Division, I am still in balance this year.

This is a good thing. "

In the first year of Zhao Zhen's accession to the throne, the imperial court abolished the censorship division, and has already managed to collect more and more expenditures. Now, nearly two years later, Kou Zhun actually said that Da Song's income and expenditures are balanced this year, and he also said that this is a case Good thing, many people may not understand when they hear this.

But the Manchu civil and military can understand it.

They can understand why Kou Zhun would say this is a good thing.

Kou Zhun also accounted for Da Song's war expenditures against Xixia and Liao.

Last year, when the Ministry of Households and the Three Divisions summarized the accounts, the imperial court lost a full five million yuan in war expenditures.

Regarding this, some of the pro-hepatist officials still made some criticisms.

The surplus of the imperial court this year has made up for the deficit of last year.

It shows that the surplus of the court this year is a full five million, which is far higher than any year during Zhao Heng's reign.

At the same time, it also shows that the imperial court has been fighting for a year and a half, and all the money spent has been earned back.

For the courtiers, what is this

This is political achievement, this is capital that can be bragged.

They can tell the people without embarrassment.

You see, during the administration of the first emperor, he did not listen to us, resulting in the treasury becoming empty year after year.

After the official came to the throne, we listened to everything. Not only was there no emptiness in the treasury, but after a year and a half of the war, all the money spent was earned back.

This is our ability.

The civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty bowed and saluted.

"This is because the Taishi is well-directed, and the official can be such a good minister, congratulations to the official..."

"..."

In an instant, flattering words sounded one after another on the Hanging Arch Hall.

Zhao Zhen was a little uncomfortable.

Thought that the Manchu civil and military took the wrong medicine.

Since he became the throne, the Manchu civil and military has never praised anyone.

Even if Gao Chu Gong, Chong Shiheng, and Zhe Weizhong made contributions in Xixia, some people still jumped out to speak sourly.

It's not that Guohengda will die if it is belligerent; that is, if there is no peace talks, the great situation will be gone.

In short, Zhao Zhen has been on the throne almost two years ago, and he has never seen the Manchu civil and military congratulations.

Zhao Zhen placed his small hand, pretending to be deep and said: "You Aiqing don't need to be polite, I am able to have today, it is all the credit of Aiqing."

Manchu Wenwu smiled knowingly when he heard this.

With Zhao Zhen's words, they can confidently go out and brag.

They bowed together again and said: "The ministers dare not take credit, and are willing to do their best for the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand again, and all the civil and military talents of Manchu Dynasty got up.

"Cough..."

Kou Zhun coughed softly, and when the corners of the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty raised their mouths, he poured cold water and said, "You think that the reason why the imperial court is able to make a balance this year is because the tax burden has increased

Not! "

Kou Zhun stared at the Manchu civil and military, and said loudly: "It is because the old man moved hundreds of thousands of victims to the newly added territory of the court. The court does not need to spend money to support hundreds of thousands of victims in order to have this surplus.

This is because nearly 200,000 soldiers were lost in the battles of Xixia and Liao, and the imperial court only supported 200,000 soldiers, so that they would make a surplus.

In the final analysis, these money was not earned by the court, but by the court from a group of impoverished people and from a group of dead soldiers.

My Da Song played against Xixia and won.

Will there be such a surplus, what if it is defeated? "

Manchu Wenwu's face changed slightly when he heard Kou Zhun's words.

Li Di pondered: "What does the Taishi say?"

Kou Zhun coldly snorted: "The old man's meaning is very simple. I must defend the territories captured by Da Song who spent 200,000 soldiers. Not only must we defend, but also let these territories yield something.

In order to let the people of Wei, Ling, Xia, Yin and other states be able to farm with peace of mind, in order to reduce the burden on the imperial court.

The old man decided to cancel the proposal to establish a new Xiang army and a new ban army in Wei, Ling, Xia and other states.

How can the newly established soldiers and horses resist the ambitious Xixia people

The old man decided to move the six armies of Huaide, Zhenrong, Dingbian, Baoan, Suide, and Yongxing to the north and guard the frontiers of the Great Wall.

The six armies of Yongxing and Huaide have been fighting against the Xixia people all year round, with sufficient combat experience, and the Great Wall as a barrier, which can ensure that the Northern Territory is foolproof.

The first line from Lingbo Mountain to Yanzhou was set as one road and named Xiping Road. Chong Shiheng served as the appeasement manager. In addition to the troops and horses of the headquarters, he also commanded the three armies of Huaide, Zhenrong, and Dingbian.

The first line from Yanzhou to Yinzhou was set as one road and named Dongping Road. Zhe Weizhong served as the appeasement manager. In addition to the troops and horses of the headquarters, it also controlled the security, Suide, and Yongxing armies. "

As soon as Kou Zhun spoke, Manchu Wenwu was stunned.

Without waiting for the Manchu civil and military to respond, Li Di first yelled, "No!"

Kou Zhun frowned and said, "Why not?"

Li Di seriously said: "Nearly more than 300,000 troops are deployed on the front line of the Great Wall. The number is too large. The Great Wall simply cannot accommodate so many soldiers and horses. Moreover, the two men of Zhe and Zhe each have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. inappropriate.

If they have different intentions, more than 300,000 soldiers will be enough for them to do everything they want. "

Upon hearing the words, the Manchu civil and military officials nodded together.

The civil servants nodded because they thought Li Di was right.

The Wuxuns nodded because they felt that the number of troops they controlled could not fall into the hands of Zhe and Chong.

Although the Zhe family is considered a martial artist, the Zhe family has lived in Fuzhou for a long time and did not move to Bianjing. Therefore, they feel that the number of troops they control has fallen into the hands of the Zhe family. They are afraid that it is meat buns and dogs.

It's a flat bargain.

As for the kind of family, he is not considered a martial artist now.

Zhong Shiheng was born in a scholarly family. Although he has made contributions in the border of Xixia and is in a position of appeasement, he is the second generation of the family. There is no outstanding figure so far, so he is not considered a martial artist.

Since it's not Wuxun, it's impossible to have one mind with Wuxun.

The number of soldiers Wu Xun controlled fell into the hands of Chong Shiheng, so how could they be left

When Kou Zhun heard this, he pretended to think about it. In fact, he had a plan in his mind. He also knew that after he said that just now, someone would definitely object.

Now Li Di spoke out against it, which just happened to follow his thoughts.

Kou Zhun pretended to think about it for a long time, and then said in deep thought: "Even so, then the two of Chong Shiheng and Zhe Weizhong will choose the best in the Sixth Army. Some of them are old or too young. Military status allows them to turn soldiers into people along the Great Wall.

The rest of the young men stayed in the army to serve. The total number of soldiers and horses in the hands of the two must not exceed 150,000. "

Hearing this, Gao Chu Gong jumped out and asked, "Taishi is disarmament?"

Kou Zhun said with a black face: "What disarmament? This is called turning soldiers into the people. For soldiers in war and for people in leisure. This move can not only save the court a large amount of expenses, but also effectively help the frontiers to accumulate troops. .

This time I Dasong is fighting Xixia, you should know how much effort those people who migrated over have exerted.

If it weren't for them to help, you might not be able to regain such a large territory in the hands of the Xixia people.

By doing this, the old man restrained the power in the hands of Zhe and Zhang while effectively preserving the combat effectiveness of soldiers and horses. "

Gao Chu Gong couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

This time he fought in Xixia and got into dangerous situations three times, two of which were through the difficulties of the partial teacher compiled by Li Di.

He couldn't open his mouth to obliterate the achievements of those people.

But Kou is allowed to do so, clearly disarmament.

This is obviously not in the interests of Wu Xun.

The civilian officials were shocked when they heard Kou Zhun's words.

The clever people immediately realized that this was Kou Zhun's disguised support for their disarmament.

Ever since, the civilian officials stood up one by one and agreed with Kou Zhun's statement.

The Wuxuns did not want to show their weakness to stand up to argue.

The privy envoy Cao used to play and said: "The Taishi's move is not appropriate. The abolition of 150,000 soldiers and horses is like abolishing the three armies. 150,000 soldiers and horses and their families, hundreds of thousands of people have no livelihoods. .

At that time, they are likely to become bandits and rogues, causing disasters everywhere.

Not only can it not help the Great Wall's defense, but it will add chaos. "

Kou Zhun's face became cold, and he snorted heavily, "150,000 soldiers and horses will be abolished? Then 150,000 soldiers and horses will be abolished! We are the Song Dynasty conquering Xixia, the security army of 50,000 people, When it was pulled out of the barracks, there were only 30,000 people. When they entered the territory of Xixia, there were 24,000 people left, and 4,000 of them were old and weak.

As soon as he fought with the Xixia people, he was defeated and defeated.

If it weren't for Li Di to tie himself to a horse, and carry a blade to fight with a group of superintendents, I am afraid that if they are charged by the Xixia people, they will run clean.

Now you licked your face and ran out and said to the old man that if one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers were abolished, hundreds of thousands would lose their livelihoods

Will there be 150,000 layoffs for the old man

The old man gave you a face, so the two of them gave way and used the abolition of 150,000 soldiers and horses as an excuse to cover up the blood of your soldiers.

You are shameless and have to pierce this matter. "

Kou Zhun pointed at Cao Utilization, pointed at Gao Fang Gong, and roared: "The old man doesn't care how much blood you drink. As long as you don't feel bad, even if you drink blood to death, the old man doesn't care.

This is why the old man pretended to be deaf and dumb when the Manchu court officials proposed to abolish the Xiang army.

However, border wars are related to the safety of the country, how can it be a trifling matter? "

"Boom!"

Kou Zhun patted the chair, stared at everyone, and roared: "What are you doing? The old man doesn't care. But don't treat the security of the country to the old man as a trifle. The old man now governs politics and asks nothing but a little.

That is to put the safety of the country first in everything.

Whoever wants to take the country’s safety as a trifling matter, the old man will let the whole family taste the advantages of the executioner’s knife. "

Kou Zhun looked around everyone, "The old man is not afraid to tell you that not only my soldiers and horses in the northern border of the Song Dynasty, but also the soldiers and horses in the western, eastern, and southern borders of the Song Dynasty, must be done for the old man. How many are there? Soldiers, as many people can be pulled out of the barracks, and they can be fought.

Others, how you toss, I don't care. "

As soon as Kou Zhun said this, the civilian officials came out to support Kou Zhun.

The Wuxuns were unwilling, but helpless.

During Kou Zhun's administration, although his attitude was tough, he didn't embarrass Wuxun much. Not only that, he happily delegated power to Wuxun during the war.

Kou Zhun can be considered worthy of the martial arts.

Nowadays, for the sake of Da Song's safety, cutting off a little meat from them, they can only endure it.

After all, all the states of the Song Dynasty were guarded by soldiers and horses, and they could drink a lot of soldiers' blood.
