Written before this article: I don't know much about the history of the Song Dynasty, so there may be many errors and omissions in this article. Of course, considering that the overall timeline of this article is nearly a hundred years after Zhao Jiu's death, it can also be considered that this is the history changed by Zhao Jiu, which is different from the history of this plane.
In addition, the "Emperor Jianyan" in the text is a special title for Zhao Jiu, which was promoted by the Secret Councilor in order to consolidate his own legal power.
Yanfu Palace in the sixth year of Jingyan in the Song Dynasty
Liu Yu followed the eunuch in front of him through the apricot forest. It was late autumn, and there were no more flowers or leaves on the trees. The famous "apricot blossoms all over the sky and earth" scene in the Song Dynasty was now only bleak. Counting the days carefully, Liu Yu had not seen that desirable scene for four years.
No, when I came here four years ago, it was also late autumn, but it was much more lively than this time. Liu Yu's face did not change, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. When he came last time, the clan had high expectations for him, and even the government encouraged him to make great achievements and serve the country. However, in just four years, he has gone from
He fell from the clouds to the quagmire. Not to mention his official position, even his own Imperial Camp Right Army might have to be reduced in size again.
That's right, since the time of the previous emperor, the number of soldiers in the imperial camp has been decreasing. When the previous emperor first ascended the throne, the imperial camp had a full strength of nearly 500,000 soldiers, but when the current emperor ascended the throne, it was only 200,000. The current emperor is even more ruthless. He has only been in power for six years and has even reduced the number of soldiers in the imperial camp by 100,000.
The imperial camp of the small barbarians can no longer afford a large-scale war.
Since Emperor Jianyan's reign, the Imperial Camp has been divided into three war zones, responsible for the wars in the northeast, northwest and western regions respectively. The Imperial Camp even has the right to start the war first and then invite the troops to fight in these regions. However, in recent years, with the reduction of the establishment, the various war zones have been gradually disbanded.
The strength has been decreasing again and again. And today, it may decrease again!
In the final analysis, it was all caused by those flattering villains!
The more Liu Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He could only stare at the eunuchs walking in front of him. These were the villains!
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the eunuch in front finally stopped. A hundred steps in front of them was a pavilion in the apricot forest. It was in this pavilion that Emperor Jianyan established the status of the Secret Pavilion and almost transferred part of the ruling power. Legend has it that Emperor Jianyan granted the Secret Pavilion a special position for the ministers.
The pavilion is called "Golden Cup Pavilion" because it represents the golden cup of the prime minister's power.
Liu Yu was still thinking that the pavilion looked a lot different from before, but he didn't notice that the eunuch in front of him had stopped and bumped into him directly.
"General Liu, report to me, Commander Yang changed the rules some time ago, and now you have to search your body again before you see the emperor.
Looking at the eunuch who turned around and smiled at him, Liu Yu gradually became angry.
"Is that so? I am ignorant and have never heard of it on the way to Beijing.
"General Liu, please forgive me. It is true that the rules were changed a few months ago." A young man walked out of the pavilion long before the two of them stood still, and just took over Liu Yu's words, "Some things happened some time ago, and someone intended to take advantage of the opportunity of seeing the emperor to do something ill, so the rules were changed.
Liu Yu was disdainful in his heart. This excuse could only fool a three-year-old child. Who could come to this pavilion and have the courage to do such a thing?
Of course not here." The young man seemed to see what Liu Yu was thinking, "It's... Hebei"
Liu Yu looked at the person in front of him with increasing disbelief. The meaning behind these two words was too great. According to the data in the official newspaper, in the vast territory of the Song Dynasty, Hebei was the most supportive of the government. When encountering such a thing in such a central place, people would naturally be on guard against everything.
"According to the rules, please, General Liu."
Looking at the young man in front of him with a happy face, Liu Yu felt more and more uncomfortable. It was true that this happened, but it was also true that he took this opportunity to show off his power. He entered the palace - it took so long on the road, and the eunuch in front of him didn't say a word. Firstly, he was using this opportunity to tell himself that he was no longer favored by the emperor, and secondly,
Also to see if there are any connections who know about this matter.
I'm afraid this trip will be disastrous.
"No need to be so polite, let's get straight to the point." The official in front of him put down the book in his hand. It was a book called "The Records of Emperor Shizu of Jianyan". Nowadays, with the movable type printing technology vigorously promoted by Emperor Shizu of Shaoxing, there are more and more books. In addition to the legendary experience of Emperor Shizu, this book is no longer
Not only the officials of the imperial court had a copy, but the middle class and even the peasants also had it. Many people simply used this book as a textbook in school.
Yes, this is another achievement of Emperor Taizu. In the later period of his reign, he vigorously developed culture and education. Basically, there were government-run schools in every major city, which provided basic education with very little money. It was a great benevolent policy.
Let's turn back to the official in front of us. He has been on the throne for six years and is recognized as a great admirer of Emperor Taizu. He imitates him in everything, from dealing with people to employing people and delegating power. Except for leading troops to fight, he imitates him in almost everything. He also has the essence of Emperor Taizu and is another wise ruler.
Fan fiction: "I have defeated the Shenji Camp this time, please punish me!" Liu Yu knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"I haven't said anything yet. I have read the report on this exercise. Since you said so, you must be convinced by the Shenjiying?"
"I don't accept it!" Liu Yu raised his head and protested, "The rules of this exercise are all in favor of the Shenji Battalion. If we talk about the bravery of the soldiers, strict discipline, marching and fighting, I am not inferior to the Shenji Battalion in actual combat..."
"And what else?" The official patiently persuaded.
"Moreover, the military expenditure of the 7th Division of the Capital Region is far more than that of the Imperial Camp. If the Imperial Camp had the same funding, there would be a million soldiers to protect the Song Dynasty for eternity!
"Yes, I trust your family, otherwise I would not have let you lead the Right Army of the Imperial Camp. But I have already promised your family a four-year agreement, and I am willing to accept defeat. If the Imperial Camp can really beat the Divine Machine Camp, it would be fine, but the Imperial Camp lost after all, and we have to admit our defeat."
"If that's the case, I have nothing to say. Next year, the imperial camp will cut another 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry." Liu Yu's heart was bleeding.
"Okay, then go down, I still have to continue studying.
"I'll take my leave." Liu Yu stood up and glared resentfully at the young man standing behind the official, then bowed and took his leave.
When he was about to leave the pavilion, he heard the official behind him say again, "You must know that the rules of this exercise have actually weakened the Shenji Camp!"
I don't know where I read the book!
"In the 20th year of Jianyan, since Emperor Shizu recovered Hebei, fewer people died of freezing or starvation, wild grains gradually grew, and granaries gradually became full. It was called a great governance."
