Yang Yizhong knew Emperor Zhao. Qin Hui's name appearing in the official announcement of the Jin Dynasty was certainly a relief for the emperor.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that as a time traveler, Zhao Jiu has been destined to face some specific difficult problems for a long time.
The most basic thing, that is, the main task of recovering the lost territory and resisting the Jin and Song dynasties, is actually not a matter of hesitation. For such a matter of right and wrong, you just have to go ahead with it, whether you succeed or not. After all, you are a person who has received nine years of compulsory education. How can you bear to abandon the Central Plains and the two rivers?
But other issues are more subtle.
For example, how to deal with and face the two saints? How to treat the other members of the royal family who were abducted? And at the beginning, how to face Concubine Pan, who was then Concubine Pan, the heir, and the so-called Empress Dowager Yuanyou? Even more, how to face Li Gang and Zong Ze?
It should be known that Zhao Jiu initially had an evasive mentality towards Concubine Pan and even Zong Ze, and could only remain indifferent towards Li Gang. It was not until he made some achievements and was forced into a corner that he dared to respond.
But these are still dwarfed by the final and most crucial part...that is, how to face Yue Fei and Qin Hui?
After all, for Zhao Jiu, Yue Fei is not just Yue Fei, and Qin Hui is not just Qin Hui. The names Yue Fei and Qin Hui in his mind represent not two simple people, but two cultural symbols that have gone beyond themselves and have a deeper meaning after nearly a thousand years of cultural brewing. But at the same time, as a so-called official of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiu had to face these two living people in reality and maintain a relationship that was reasonable in the times.
Yue Fei was okay... After all, Zhao Jiu was not a famous person on Zhihu before he traveled through time, and he had to consider how to kill Yue Fei to save the Zhao Song regime. It was just that at the beginning, because of the vanity of the angry young man, he was a little jealous of the image of the protagonist of that era. But these had long disappeared after he saw the real person with his own eyes and reached a successful cooperation model with the other party.
In short, Zhao Jiu and Yue Fei are destined to be natural comrades in the same camp, and there has never been any inevitable conflict between the cultural symbol in the image and the relationship between the two sides in reality.
But it is hard to say about Qin Hui.
The simplest question is that, thanks to the efforts and sacrifices of so many people, the Song and Jin dynasties have achieved a confrontation along the Yellow River, and the defeat of the Jin people does not seem so unimaginable in the long run. So if Qin Hui comes back at this time and wants to serve the country and the people like Wanqi Xie, there is no evidence at this time... Then I would like to ask what Emperor Zhao would do?
Is it groundless?
If it was really a false accusation against a former Chief Censor, Li Gang would have died of vomiting blood in the southeast, and Zong Ze and Wang Boyan would have crawled out of their graves to write a letter to the world to justify Qin Huizhi. Even people like Lu Haowen, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun, Liu Ji, and Chen Gui would have been disheartened, and even Yue Pengju and Han Shizhong would have written a letter to appeal for his injustice.
Then the history books also say that the tenth emperor of the Song Dynasty created the biggest injustice in the history of the Zhao Song Dynasty... That's really like a toad crawling up your foot, it will make you sick to death if it doesn't bite you to death.
You just can't explain it!
What to explain?
Since ancient times, people have judged by deeds rather than by the heart!
In fact, Zhao Jiu had been sensitive about this since Zheng Yinian started... and Zheng Yinian probably didn't know that the brothers had been separated from each other in the north and south one after another, just because the government was wary of their cousin-in-law and wanted to use him to scare the emperor?
But no matter what, no matter whether the warning worked or the three brothers Wuzhu really needed such a person, Qin Hui has now become a standard high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty. At least they don't have to worry about this person disgusting them.
This also made Emperor Zhao feel a little better today.
But it was only a little better... A moment later, Zhao Jiu had to face the serious problem of the Imperial Camp Cavalry. No matter what, how could he march north without war horses?
"Don't worry about the Jin Kingdom for now..." After personally ordering the 8,000 cavalry to move into the prepared camp, Zhao Jiu thought for a moment, then shook his head at the accompanying civil and military officials. "I just want to ask you, what should we do about the war horses?"
The colleagues around looked at each other in threes and fives, seemingly thinking about something.
Obviously, these people do not think that the affairs of the Jin Kingdom should be "ignored for the time being"... What is the purpose of war horses and even the establishment of the Imperial Cavalry? Isn't it the Northern Expedition? Why is the Northern Expedition? Isn't it to deal with the Jin people?
How could the Jin people not be able to maneuver a little in diplomacy when faced with such a major change?
Don't forget, the attitudes of many people were clearly revealed in the drama of the Broken Ribbon that Emperor Zhao staged in the Wende Hall before. Now that the Jin people are in civil strife and there is really a possibility of sincere peace talks, it is normal for these people to be uneasy... However, without mentioning Emperor Zhao's attitude, they only said that he had a sour face for half a day today, so it was not appropriate for them to say anything more at this time.
Therefore, after a long time, someone finally came out to greet the others and said something nonsense: "Sir, if you want to get war horses, you have to restore the horse policy in the long run..."
"The horse administration of the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Jiu frowned slightly. "Did there used to be a special office for war horses?"
"Of course there are." The officials below continued to talk seriously. "When the Song Dynasty was founded, the Herdsmen's Office was established, and the official horse farms covered tens of thousands of acres. At the peak, there were 170,000 horses. If half of them could be used for military purposes, there would be 70,000 to 80,000 horses available..."
"No need to say more." Zhao Jiu was a little impatient when he heard half of it. "I don't even need to think about it to know that the civil officials are in charge of horse affairs, but they don't know the knowledge of animal husbandry. Then there are the excessive encroachments of the court, and the corruption of lower-level officials... After a few years, the horse affairs were abandoned, and these animal husbandry officials were also lost in several reforms, right? How many bad things in the Song Dynasty can be separated from these three types of people? Aren't you, us, and them the ones who ruined the world? You can't blame others!"
