Is Dali a powerful country
Doesn't count.
Not only is it not a strong country, it can even be said to be a weak country.
Every year, when the envoy of Dali entered the palace to meet the official family of the Song Dynasty, he was definitely the most pious among the many envoys.
They seemed to be very afraid of annoying Da Song, and Da Song was angry and threw his army against them.
The reason why the Song Dynasty has not attacked Dali is because the Song Dynasty up and down all regarded Dali as a weak country, and all regarded Dali as a barbarian land, and was in poverty.
But in fact it is so
it's not true.
The news that Zhu Neng heard back was proof.
Dali is not poor.
It was the people of the Song Dynasty who were too much to sit in the well and watch the sky.
Now the Song people have opened their horizons under the guidance of Kou Ji.
Seeing Dali's wealth, I naturally missed it.
Little Dali holds amazing wealth.
Just like a urchin, holding gold and silver in his hand, appeared in trouble.
It's obvious how many people will miss him.
Kou Jiqiang pressed his consternation, and the expression on his face quickly returned to calm, staring at Zhu Neng and said, "This matter cannot be publicized for the time being. Don't even think about going to Dali."
"Why? If we don't take things at our fingertips, wouldn't it be wasted?"
"Because the officials are about to reform the military system..."
The answer to Zhu Neng was not Kou Ji, but Chong Shiheng.
Kou Ji and Zhu Neng looked at Zhong Shiheng at the same time.
Zhong Shiheng said frankly: "You are willing to share Dali's wealth with me, which proves that you regard me as your own. Some of the things I guess do not have to be kept in mind. You can take them out and discuss them with you."
Kou Ji did not speak.
Zhu Neng asked Zhong Shiheng suspiciously: "Do the officials want to reform the military system?"
Zhong Shiheng glanced at Zhu Neng and said, "You can't fail to see something so obvious."
When Zhu Neng heard this, he stopped pretending to be confused, and immediately said: "I can detect one or two, but I am not sure."
Zhu Neng looked at Kou Ji and Chong Shiheng and said: "The reason why I want to leave the Privy Council is that I am thinking of Dali's wealth, and the other is to avoid the movement caused by the reform of the military system.
When Kou Gong was in the dynasty, he streamlined the world's soldiers and horses, which has caused several mutinies.
Officials now want to reform the military system, which may cause even greater turmoil.
Although the imperial relatives and martial arts have been cleaned up by the officials, the military system can be reformed to target all the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, the officers and men in the army will probably complain.
If they make a fuss, it won't be easy to clean up. "
Zhong Shiheng nodded slowly, and said to Kou Ji: "I also came here to discuss this matter with Priest Kou."
Kou Ji looked at Zhong Shiheng and said, "Do you have any ideas about the official reform of the military system?"
Zhong Shiheng nodded and solemnly said: "My Da Song’s soldiers and horses should no longer be influenced by civil servants. If they are influenced by civil servants, even if you and the officials innovate the military system, it won’t be long before my Da Song Soldiers and horses will sprout again and fall into erosion."
Kou Ji pondered: "I and the official are also considering this matter. If you have any ideas, you can talk about it. If it is desirable, I can discuss it with the official."
Zhong Shiheng said with a deep heart: "The power to send prison troops should be taken back and handed over to the Privy Council."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said in deep thought: "It's a good idea to switch from civil to military. It's just that the Privy Council controls all the supervising army while controlling the generals of the world. It is easy to use the supervising army to overhead the Sanya.
In the end, the Privy Council can control all the soldiers and horses in the world.
Even if I am a clerk, it is impossible for officials to watch all the soldiers and horses in the world fall into my control.
The three servants of the inner court, the civil servants of the Manchu court, would not agree. "
Zhong Shiheng frowned and said: "But if the supervising army has been under the control of civil servants, it will always affect the world's soldiers and horses. It is impossible for you and the official family to abolish the supervising army system, right?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I think, but the officials will not agree, nor will the Manchu civil servants. Especially this time Shi Yuan and Sun made the chaos, so that the Manchu civil servants and officials have seen the supervising army opposing the army. After the binding force, it is even more impossible to abolish the military supervision system."
Zhong Shiheng said solemnly: "If the military supervision system is not resolved, I want to become stronger, so I can only be strong for a while, and will never continue to be strong."
Zhu Neng listened carefully to the conversation between the two of them. After hearing this, he hesitated and said: "The court also has a Ministry of War, why not hand over the affairs of the supervising army to the Ministry of War?"
Kou Ji thought about it and said, "This is a good idea."
Zhong Shiheng still frowned, "But what if the ministers of the Ministry of War are appointed by civil servants? The court has often appointed civil servants as the ministers of war."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Then make a rule, non-military ministers can't be appointed to the military department."
Zhong Shiheng shook his head and said, "The civil servants will not agree."
Kou Ji said: "At the moment, the military ministers are still in charge of the military ministers, and most of the military officials are also military ministers. Even if the civil servants do not agree, the impact will not be too great."
Kou Ji looked at Zhong Shiheng and said, "You prepare your thoughts, write a memorandum, and submit it to the official. Then the official, me, and Cao Wei may sit down and discuss the matter, and they may ask you at that time. Join it."
Zhong Shiheng hesitated and nodded.
Zhu Neng said on the side: "What about me?"
Kou Ji turned to look at him, "Don't you want to be involved in this matter?"
Zhu Neng immediately said: "You have all participated in the discussion. If I don't participate, how can I gain a foothold in the court in the future."
Kou Ji glanced at him and said, "I will report this to the officials when I look back, and then see how the officials decide. This time the reform of the military system will ultimately be in charge of the officials."
Zhu Neng smiled and said, "The officials will definitely not shut me out."
Kou Ji let out a laugh.
Zhu Neng paused and said, "Don't you worry about the backlash caused by the reform of the military system?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The officials will not wantonly abolish the soldiers and horses of the world. What kind of backlash will it cause? Even if part of the abolition, they will be ordered to do other things. There will always be something for them to do, and they will always have something to do. Why do they want to rebound if they get paid?"
Zhu Neng complained: "It turns out that you had a plan with the official, which made me worry for nothing."
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "If you have something in the future, don't hold it in your heart. You have to say it and discuss it together."
Zhu Neng smiled awkwardly.
Kou Ji continued, "I am afraid that this matter will not be implemented until Shi Yuansun's chaos has resulted. So we still need to wait a few days."
Zhu Neng and Zhong Shiheng nodded together.
After talking about business matters, the three chatted some private conversations, and then went back to their homes.
Some days later.
Kou Ji has been in and out of the palace, discussing the reform of the military system with Zhao Zhen and paying attention to the war in Qinzhou and other places.
When Shi Yuansun led the rebels to Qinzhou, it was already the end of June.
Along the way, under the name of King Qin, he recruited some bandits and horse thieves from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, but the number was not large.
After Zhao Zhen designated Shi Yuansun and his party as the rebels, and sent the texts to the Yamen of the prefectures, the defenders of the prefectures also began to gather to resist the rebels led by Shi Yuansun.
The essay of King Sun Qin Shi Yuan turned into a joke in front of the essay sent by Zhao Zhen.
Some people in Shi Yuansun's army, after learning that Shi Yuansun was not King Qin, but a rebellion, secretly fled a lot.
But there were still people who followed Shi Yuansun to make trouble.
Shi Yuansun led the rebels to Qinzhou and encountered the Yongxing Army.
The two sides fought a battle.
The Yongxing Army defended Qinzhou.
Shi Yuansun was forced to turn to Minzhou.
When Di Qing and his people arrived at Qinfeng Road, Shi Yuansun and his people had already arrived in Minzhou and conquered Minzhou.
Di Qing led three thousand elite soldiers to Minzhou, attacked Minzhou at night, and broke Minzhou City.
Shi Yuansun was forced to continue to flee.
Di Qing led people behind her back.
Finally, at the end of July, Shi Yuansun was captured alive in the Wushan Village on the border of Song Dynasty and Qingtang.
Since then, the farce of Shi Yuansun's rebellion has been completely put down.
Shi Yuansun made a big fuss, not only did not get the slightest benefit, but also contributed to Di Qing's reputation.
Di Qing led three thousand elite soldiers to break through Minzhou, which became a tale of eulogy.
In the Song Dynasty, there is a sense of existence.
Although Zhao Zhen only promoted Di Qing's official rank to one level after the incident, Di Qing's name was remembered by everyone in the government and the opposition.
Whenever there is war in the court in the future, Di Qing will definitely be thought of.
As long as Di Qing is good at it, there will be some credit in the future.
At the end of August.
The leader of the rebel army, Shi Yuansun and his party, was escorted to Bianjing and detained to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Shi Yuansun had no consciousness of a defeated general, even though he was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, he was still arrogant.
After learning about this, Zhao Zhen dispatched Kou Ji to replace him and went to the cell.
Prison of the Criminal Ministry.
Kou Ji bent down and entered the low door specially made by the prison.
The door of the prison is not designed to be humane at all.
The door only reaches the neck of the person, and you must bend down to enter the door.
The reason why the door was designed to be so inhuman was mainly to prevent the criminals in the prison from rioting.
Once the prisoners rioted, it is difficult to get out of the prison.
The gateway to the prison of the Ministry of Justice alone was enough to delay the prisoners a lot of time and buy enough time for the court to send heavy troops to suppress them.
Although the prison was completed, there has never been a case of prisoner riots.
But the protective measures that should be done are still to be done.
When Kou Ji saw Shi Yuansun, Shi Yuansun was sitting on the ground in the cell with shackles.
After seeing Kou Ji's appearance, there was still some sarcasm on his face.
"Shi Yuansun!"
"Kou thief!"
Kou Ji walked up to Shi Yuansun and said quietly: "Me? Kou thief? I heard it right, right?"
Shi Yuansun stared at Kou Ji and said, "You are the thief! If it weren't for you to confuse the officials and act on our Wuxun, I wouldn't be here.
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "So... you blamed me for the responsibility of making trouble?"
Shi Yuansun said unceremoniously: "It was your fault."
Kou Ji smirked and said, "You are quite capable of breaking it."
Kou Ji reduced the smile on his face slightly, staring at Shi Yuansun and said, "The reason why the officials punished you is because you are too greedy. You are already greedy to a frenzied degree.
Five achievements of the military salary issued by the imperial court have entered your pockets every year.
Officials at all levels deducted some more, and in the hands of the soldiers, the rest was less than 10%.
Ten percent of the military pay is not enough to keep the soldiers alive.
What you are greedy for is not money, but the lives of soldiers.
Soldiers are the foundation to guard my Da Song. If they are dead, how can I stand? "
Shi Yuansun said disdainfully: "You have let you say good things and bad things, what can I say?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "You can say nothing."
Shi Yuansun's expression turned savage in an instant, "You don't want me to say, I want to say. Everyone says I am greedy, but do they know how we become greedy
We became so greedy that we were forced by the surname Zhao.
Zhao Kuangyin used the mutiny to win the world. He was afraid that we would follow his example, so he took away the military power from each of us.
Even so, he couldn't believe us.
He forced us to go out and do evil, and he forced us out to be greedy for money.
He forced us to become greedy people.
If we are not greedy, we will end up with death.
On the surface, he is benevolent and hypocritical, but behind his back he is always guarding us.
Others praised him for his righteousness.
In our eyes, he is a hypocrite.
We can have today, all because of him.
To say the wrong thing, it's him, not us. "
Kou Ji's expression changed, "Shi Yuansun, do you know how serious it is to slander Emperor Taizu?"
Shi Yuansun laughed loudly and said arrogantly: "Hahaha, I have been created against me, I am afraid that there is one more sin on my head?"
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Have you ever thought that Emperor Taizu tolerated your greed, just to not leave a reputation for treating heroes? Not what you think?"
Shi Yuansun stared at Kou Ji sarcastically and said, "Kou, do you believe this when you say this?"
Kou Ji said without hesitation: "I believe it!"
"Pooh!"
Shi Yuansun spat and scolded: "Zhao's running dog!"
Kou Ji frowned and said: "Emperor Taizu tolerated your greed, what is the purpose? As a minister, I am absolutely afraid to speculate, but I can conclude that Emperor Taizu must have good intentions in this move. But you will be wrong. He became greedy and insatiable, even endangering the Jiangshan Society of the Song Dynasty.
The officials have sufficient reasons to punish you. "
"Bah! If all of us have become upright and honest saints, people of the Zhao family, who can sit comfortably on the throne?"
"..."
Shi Yuansun knew that his fate was not long before, so he dared to say anything.
Kou Ji didn't mind to continue chatting with him, and said to him: "The official heard that you were screaming every day in the prison of the Criminal Ministry, so arrogant, so they ordered me to come over and talk to you.
All the members of your Gao family who fled along Yongzhou have been arrested.
It will be sent to Bianjing City soon, and I will ask you about it. "
When Shi Yuansun heard this, his eyes widened in horror, his screaming voice disappeared without a trace, his face turned pale.
"impossible!"
"impossible!"
Shi Yuansun stared at Kou Ji in horror: "In order to help them get a chance to escape, I kept doing misfortune in Qinzhou and other places. I helped them attract everyone's attention, and they should have escaped.
Why was it caught
Are you lying to me? ! "
Kou Ji stared at Shi Yuansun and said, "You will know after a few days when they are escorted into Beijing."
Shi Yuansun's breathing became hurried in an instant.
"I want to see Pan Su!"
"Pan Su has already softened to the official service, and is confined in the mansion by the official, it is impossible to see you."
"Sibo Cao, I want to see Sibo Cao!"
"Up until now, do you still want to pull the Cao family into the water? You committed such a big mistake, even if the official came out in person, it may not be able to save your life under the condemnation of the Manchu civil and military.
What's the use of Cao Wei's presence? "
"..."
"Shi Yuansun's Shi Yuansun, I knew today, why bother?"
Kou Ji dropped these words, no longer talked about Marble Yuansun, and left the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
After Shi Yuansun was taken down, Zhao Zhen's handling of the turmoil between the emperor's relatives and Wuxuns was completely over.
After Kou Ji met Shi Yuansun once, he never paid attention to the matter again.
Shi Yuansun's family members were escorted to Bianjing in early September.
It was executed by the newly appointed Shangshu Chen Yaozuo of the Criminal Ministry.
Speaking of Chen Yaozuo, I have to talk about his origin in detail.
Chen Yaozuo is not an unknown person.
His brother Chen Yaosou and his brother Chen Yaozi, along with him, are called the three masters of the Chen family.
In some places, it has the reputation of Chen's triple champion.
The three masters of the Chen family, that's really amazing.
Even Wang Zeng, the ternary champion, was slightly pale in front of the Chen's three masters.
According to historical records, the three generations of the Lu family are comparable to them.
Chen Yaozuo's elder brother Chen Yaosuo, Song Taizong Duan Gong second year champion, Chen Yaozuo was also the same year's scientific research, Jinshi and No. 1 scholar.
After Chen Yaosuo was the champion in high school, he was summoned by Emperor Taizong and appreciated by Emperor Taizong. He summoned his father Chen Shenghua, and both father and son were given a red robe, which is a good story.
After Chen Yaosou entered the post, he successively served as Secretary Cheng, Henan Dongdao Judge, Worker Wailang, Jiaozhou State Courier, Knowing Privy Council and herding system envoy, Privy Envoy, Jiatongping Zhangshi.
When he was old, he was appointed to the right hand shooter and knew Heyang army.
He passed away in the first year of Tianxi, and he was added to the posthumous title of Wenzhong.
Chen Yaozuo's younger brother Chen Yaozi Song Zhenzong Xianping three-year champion.
Successively served as Youzhengyan, Zhizhijiao, Living Sheren, Zhiyongxingjun, Zhiyongxingjun, and Shaanxi marginal appease.
Now the post of assistant of the processing department, the right to know the Kaifeng Mansion.
Chen Yaozuo himself, successively served as Zhongmu County Lieutenant, Chaozhou Tongjuan, Hanlin Bachelor, Jingxi Transit Envoy, and Duzhi Deputy Envoy, and he is now the official to the Criminal Ministry.
It would not be surprising if a family of three generations could have this achievement, but the three brothers, having such an achievement, would be enough to attract everyone's attention.
I have to admit that the Song Dynasty is definitely a generation of talented people.
The three brothers are not the kind of people who don't do anything in court.
Chen Yaosou, the writing style is definitely the top one in the Song Dynasty. Many of the inscriptions in the Song Dynasty were written by him. The most famous of them is the "Phil on the Pilgrimage" of the Zhenzong Zhao Heng when he sealed Mount Tai. Ode to Taizong Temple."
Chen Yaozuo himself is a water conservancy expert. He invented the'low-paying real soil method' and the'muyou killing water method', which solved the floods of the people in several places.
Chen Yaozi is an all-rounder with both civil and military skills. He not only writes well in articles, but also has excellent archery skills. However, his family prefers him to be civil servants rather than military ministers, so he has always been mixed with civil servants. , So there is not much achievement.
After seeing the resumes of their three brothers, Kou Ji lamented that their three brothers were amazing, but also felt that the court did not make the best use of their talents.
Chen Yaosou is dead, so I won't mention him.
Chen Yao Zuotuo's water conservancy expert.
If this kind of talent goes to the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry for security, it will definitely benefit the people all over the world.
Arrangement to the Criminal Ministry is really a waste of talent.
Chen Yaozi, an archery master, is known as a sharpshooter. He has compiled some archery teaching materials, and pairing can be of great use.
Professional talents like the Chen brothers should be treated specially by the court.
Unfortunately, the imperial court did not put the talents where they should be.
Closer to home.
After Shi Yuansun was beheaded by Chen Yao's supervisor, the turmoil between the emperor's relatives and the martial arts came to an end.
The reform of the military system planned by Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji should also be on the agenda.
In order to implement a military system suitable for the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji did not work behind closed doors, nor did they ask for a big deal. They invited many people to participate in the discussion on this matter.
Cao Wei, Zhu Neng, and Zhong Shiheng are among the invitations.
Wang Deyong and Li Zhaoliang were called back to Bianjing and were also invited.
After Lv Yijian and Wang Zeng finished their troubles, they returned to the court one after another and participated in the discussion.
The first day of October.
After Wang Deyong, Li Zhaoliang, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng rushed back to Bianjing.
Zhao Zhen hosted a banquet in the palace and hosted eight important ministers who wanted to participate in the discussion of the military system.
Kou Ji was the first to go to the palace.
Cao Wei, Zhu Neng and others also went to the palace one after another.
Wang Deyong was the last to arrive.
It was not that he entrusted him to the big, but that he had been sitting outside the city of Bianjing all the year round, and suddenly returned to Beijing. There was a big stall of trivial matters to deal with, so it was too late.
After Wang De used it, Kou Ji looked at him specially.
Wang De's first impression of Kou Ji was black.
Wang De uses a very dark complexion.
Darker than all the courtiers in the court hall.
Coupled with his strong muscles, and a face of beard, he looked fierce.
Anyone who saw him thought he was a very vicious person.
In fact
it's not true.
Wang De's voice is thick, but there is no noise, and it feels very calm.
The temper is also very gentle, and the speech is very humble.
The first impression is thick and reliable.
It's no wonder that Zhenzong Zhao Heng and Zhao Zhen trust him very much.
Among other things, his appearance alone is enough to make anyone who sees him feel that he is very reliable.
He is indeed a person who looks the same.
So Zhao Zhen trusted him, and there was nothing wrong with it.
When Kou Ji and others arrived.
Zhao Zhen appeared in their banquet palace wearing a uniform.
With a smile on his face, he looked very gentle.
There is no majesty when facing other officials.
"For ministers, see official..."
After Zhao Zhen arrived, Kou Ji and others stood up according to their ranks and bowed together to salute Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "You Aiqing don't need to be polite. Today I set up a private banquet in the palace. All Aiqing can drink without restraint."
From that moment on, Zhao Zhen didn't take it seriously.
After all, today we are talking about public affairs, not private affairs.
"Xie Guan's house..."
Kou Ji and others salute again.
After the salute.
Zhao Zhen took the lead to sit down, then waved his hand and said, "Sit all!"
