It was February 13th, the eighth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.

Kaifeng Mansion, Imperial City, Chongzheng Hall.

Zhao Kai, who has been the emperor for almost three months, can finally sit on the throne of Chongzheng Hall and discuss military and state affairs with the ministers.

Because the crisis of Kaifeng Mansion falling at any time has now been averted by Zhao Kai, who is proficient in the Seven Books of Martial Arts and the Four Art of War!

Although the gold thieves' army of hundreds of thousands is still operating in Junzhou, Kaidefu, Puzhou, and Xingrenfu, they have also surrounded an army of tens of thousands led by Li Gang, and in Damingfu, Bozhou, Enzhou, and Hebei East Road, Jizhou and Hejian Prefecture reported being invaded by Jin soldiers. At the same time, the situation in Hedong was also very bad, with frequent reports of defeats.

But the Jin Thief's East Route Army should be unable to advance towards Kaifeng Mansion before Li Gang is eliminated.

Even if Li Gang becomes Li Wenzheng, the gold thieves may not have the strength to invade Kaifeng Mansion... After all, there are soldiers and horses from the three major battalions of Sanshan Fuqiao Camp, Liangshanbo Camp and Dingtao Camp threatening the Jin soldiers. , it is impossible for them to let go and do anything.

Under this situation, Zhao Kai could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then began to reorganize the interior and make some long-term plans.

However, before rectifying the internal situation and making long-term plans, Zhao Kai still has a small problem that needs to be solved, which is the era name.

It has been almost three months since he ascended the throne, and he has not had time to change his reign. It is really inappropriate to still use Zhao Ji's Xuanhe reign title.

"Your Majesty, I think it is best to use Jingkang as the new year's name."

As soon as Zhao Kai raised the issue of the reign name today, Li Bangyan, the Grand Prime Minister of the East Prefecture, immediately came up with a result that had been discussed by all the ministers.

It turns out that when Zhu Fengying came to court, she had already discussed this matter with everyone, and Jingkang was the result of discussion with everyone.

"Jingkang?" Zhao Kai frowned, "It seems unlucky!"

"Your Majesty," Bai Shizhong said, "Jingkang means well-being and peace and happiness. The source is Zeng Gong's "Xiangzhou Yuemiao Rain Prayer Essay": 'The harmoniousness of the wind and rain is in abundance, and the peace and tranquility of every village is preserved.' With this, The title of the reign can show the world that your Majesty will strive to protect the health and happiness of the Song Dynasty, which is also what the people want!"

Zhao Kai shook his head, "With the general situation in the world like this, can the people still expect to be healthy and happy?"

According to the history he knew, the era after Jingkang that had anything to do with health and well-being was the Hongwu period... Only with Zhu Yuanzhang's great martial arts could the health and well-being of the people be achieved!

Zhao Kai continued: "Let's take Hongwu as the reign name! Hongwu is a great martial artist. What do you think?"

All the officials present were stunned.

Don’t be blind about the era name! Oh, it’s okay to be blind, but you can’t go against the foundation of the country and what the people of the world are thinking!

The Song Dynasty "ruled the world with culture", how could you "Hongwu"? Although the word "Hongwu" is indeed very heroic, it really doesn't match the Song Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Zongze, thinks that the reign name 'Hongwu' is inappropriate. Please think again."

Zhao Kai looked over following the voice and saw an old man with a short build, a gray beard and piercing eyes.

It turns out that he is Grandpa Zong Zezong, the mainstay of the Song Dynasty!

"Zong Qing, what's wrong with this 'Hongwu' reign name?"

Zhao Kai actually asked knowingly. He is not leading a group of brothers to found the country and conquer the world... How can he "Hongwu"? He has to "Jingkang".

"Your Majesty..." Zongze looked at this "number one emperor" and was a little speechless!

Zongze was the last Jinshi, and he failed in the imperial examination that year. Zhao Kai is Huiyuan, the first among all the divisions!

You are all good at it, but don’t you know that once this “Hongwu” comes out, the world will be in an uproar?

"Your Majesty, those who are Jingkang are what the people want." Zong Ze said, "those who are Hongwu are hated by the world... Is this Hongda martial arts similar to Fengheng Yuda?"

There really is!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Ji really have similar approaches... Both of them were very fond of success, and both were a bit militaristic - measured by the standards of the Song Dynasty!

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was much better than Zhao Ji in terms of militarism! Relying on the "poor Jiangnan" land that had been ravaged by the Yuan Dynasty for decades, he managed to support millions of Ming troops. And while he was in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he also used large-scale troops in many places in the south to conquer the world!

Zongze added: "Even if His Majesty really wants to establish a great martial arts, there is no need to use the reign name to show it to the world... After all, what the people in the world want is nothing more than comfort and peace, and what they hate is endless Use troops to conquer. Therefore, I believe that the Jingkang reign is the most suitable for the people of the world."

Zongze, a resolute anti-gold faction, said so, so Zhao Kai certainly couldn't be stubborn anymore.

Who makes people feel like this?

Just look at the prosperity within the high walls of Kaifeng Mansion. Everyone is content and happy!

If most people support the "Great Martial Arts", then how can the few Jurchens who besieged the city in history return to the Northeast alive?

"Then let's call it Jingkang!" Zhao Kai agreed, but in his heart he thought: Jingkang is Jingkang, but the shame of Jingkang is not allowed, only Jingkang ZTE!

Thinking of this, he added: "I also know that people are at ease, but the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop... The person approaching Kaifeng Mansion now is a gold thief!

We have talked to them twice, but there is not even a formal response, which shows that the gold thief is very determined to kill me... So we must do our best to fight against the gold, there is no other way! What do you think? "

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The ministers shouted in unison - Sheng Ming - now the main war faction has the upper hand!

Although the two prime ministers Li Yanbang and Bai Shizhong and the deputy prime minister Zhang Bangchang are cowards, Yuwen Cuizhong, Zongze, Zhong Shidao, Zhang Shuye, and Li Gang who was trapped in Dingtao, as well as those in Guangzhou Yu Wenxuzhong, who presided over the resistance against the Jin Dynasty in the west of Beijing, and Wang Fu, one of the six thieves in Wushan, are all hardliners now.

Zhao Kai nodded and said: "But when fighting against the Jin Dynasty, just talking is not enough. There must be practical actions! Now Li Gang's tens of thousands of people are besieged. Do you have a way to break the siege?"

"Your Majesty, I have an idea!" It was Zongze who had the idea.

It is indeed Zongze!

Zhao Kai smiled and asked, "If Zong Qing has any clever tips, please tell me quickly."

Zongze said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any good ideas. I am willing to lead a brigade across the river to clean up the situation, reorganize the defense, and recruit rebels. As long as the defense of the Hebei states can be improved, the gold thieves will not dare to stay near the capital for a long time. .....As long as the gold thieves divert their troops to Hebei, then the crisis in the capital will be resolved, and Privy Li's army will be able to turn the crisis around."

Ah, cross the river!

Zongze’s solution is of course to cross the river! This was actually Zhao Kai's original idea...to go north to fight against the Jin, organize the leaderless anti-Jin soldiers and civilians in Hebei, and fight against the gold thieves to the end.

"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded heavily, "Of course I will bring troops into the palace. I originally wanted to remonstrate with my father and allow me to cross the river to fight against the Jin Dynasty. Unfortunately, my father has passed on the throne to me, so I must stay in the capital and cannot stay away. Zong Qing is now willing I feel so relieved to stand up and not be afraid of hardships and dangers!

I specially appoint you to be the governor of Longtuge, the deputy envoy to appease Cizhou, Hebei East Road, and the general manager of Hebei Rebel Army... Control the military affairs of Ci, Xiang, Wei, Mingzhou and Xinde Prefecture, and you can do things expeditiously.

In addition, I will mobilize 5,000 soldiers from Jinming City to accompany you north to take office, and give you 300,000 guan of money and 200,000 pieces of silk for military purposes. "

As soon as Zhao Kai said these words, everyone in the Chongzheng Hall was stunned - is this too much?

All the land of one prefecture and four states in Hebei was given to this Zongze? Moreover, he was given 5,000 soldiers and 500,000 yuan in money, and he also had the power to act on his own initiative!

This is to let General Zongze take charge of civil and military power!

Zongze had already reacted and almost shouted to Zhao Kai: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will definitely work hard and die!"

"Your Majesty," Yu Wencuizhong, who replaced Li Gang in charge of the camp and Privy Council affairs, stood up and said to Zhao Kai, "Liu Kai is already in charge of military affairs on Hebei West Road. If he appoints a minister to control the military affairs of one government and four states, wouldn't it be dividing the military affairs? Liu Kai’s power?”

Liu Kai was the pacifier of Hebei West Road and knew the affairs of Zhending Prefecture. Zhao Kai assigned one prefecture and four states to Zongze, which was equivalent to dividing half of his defense area.

However, he does not have the ability to defend the entire Hebei West Road. It would be great to be able to defend Zhendingfu City when the Jin soldiers move south in large numbers!

Zhao Kai thought for a while, "How about splitting Hebei West Road into two parts, Zhendingfu Road and Cixiang Road. Let Liu Kai guard Zhendingfu Road and Zongze guard Cixiang Road... ...In addition, we will set up Zhendingfu Road transfer envoys and Cixiang Road transfer envoys, so that they can obey the orders of the two comfort envoys."

The transporter takes orders from the comforter... This is a bit too much power!

Zhao Kai knew it himself, so he winked at Wang Fu and explained: "The situation of Zhendingfu Road and Cixiang Road is special... These two roads are likely to be trapped by gold thieves, so It is difficult for the imperial court to direct for a while, so local commanders must be given great power, not only to control the Cao ministers, but also to control the criminal officials."

To mention the Criminal Division is to mention the Criminal Division, which is a very important yamen. Judging from the name, it seems to be in charge of catching thieves. In fact, it was in charge of catching thieves. However, the punishment department in the Song Dynasty was also in charge of military industry... It seems a bit strange that the punishment department was in charge of military industry, but it was normal for it to happen in the Song Dynasty. Appeasement is in charge of troop deployment, transportation is in charge of logistics, and punishment is in charge of military industry. One military power is divided into three parts, constraining each other, and no one can think of rebellion.

In the original history, famous ZTE generals such as Yue Fei were once appointed as camp envoys. This way they had financial power and could manage their own logistics, and most of the weapons and armor of each department were made by themselves. It means that military power, financial power, and military production are all concentrated in the hands of one person... Of course it is possible to fight, but it makes people suspicious!

However, Zhao Kai was very powerful and trusted Zong Ze - he knew that he would not live for a few years, so he was not afraid that he would rebel and become the emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise," Wang Fu caught Zhao Kai's look and stood up to second the proposal, "I also believe that in today's troubled times, we should boldly delegate power, not only on Hebei West Road, but also on Hebei East Road and Hedong. !”
