Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhao Huan still insisted on his own opinion, and even Li Gang's proposal to let Zhao Kai replace Hu Quan was rejected.
"Your Majesty, it's not that we can't trust Hu Quan. The main reason is that he is too young. In fact, if the quasi-prime minister Xu Churen was still alive, maybe we could try..."
"Well, Mr. Xu died of illness in Jiangnan. This is what makes me sad, but it is meaningless to talk about it now."
Zhao Huan also sighed. In fact, before he ascended the throne, only thirty-six people including Zhao Ding, Hu Yin, Chen Dong, Xu Churen and Qin Hui supported him in the main battle.
The years back then really made him... No, he didn't miss it at all, that thing was too scary.
After he stabilized the situation, Zhao Ding once recommended Xu Churen, saying that he had the talent to serve as prime minister and assistant. Zhao Huan also knew that he had indeed served as prime minister and assistant in history and succeeded Li Gang.
But...unfortunately, Li Gang did not die, Yu Wenxuzhong and Zhao Ding were also alive and well, and Xu Churen also did many things for Zhao Huan.
It's a pity that he died of illness in Jiangnan just before his death. He didn't suffer much and didn't fulfill his last wish.
Xu Churen has enough prestige and ability, but it's a pity that now that he is gone, this can only be done in vain.
"This Hu Quan was a serious Jinshi and was born as a military judge in Fuzhou. He recruited villagers to defend the Jin army, and later became the editor of the Privy Council."
Zhao Ding also thought of Hu Quan's life at this time, and then he shut up after saying this.
It's not because there's nothing to say about what's behind, it's because there's nothing behind...
This is all that Hu Quan has!
Moreover, this guy has just come out of the state of mourning for his father. This guy really has no prestige, that is, because he is the editor of the Privy Council, and they all more or less take care of the work of the Privy Council.
Only then did he become familiar with this official.
If it were other people in the DPRK, they probably knew that Hu Quan was a talented rising star. How could they know about this guy's experience?
However, Zhao Huan did not recognize it, and even threw his younger brother, Zhao Kai, who was now becoming more and more famous, into the Ministry of Punishment.
The reason why we do so much is for one purpose, that is, Hu Quan is really worth it.
In Zhao Huan's case, Hu Quan was not only the editor of the Privy Council, he was the last of the four famous officials in the Southern Song Dynasty.
When Qin Hui was the craziest in history, this guy stood up and directly cursed Qin Hui's move to negotiate peace.
Hu Quan opposed the peace negotiation the most fiercely. He wrote to Zhao Gou, exposing the conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom to negotiate peace, and asked Gaozong to behead Qin Hui, Wang Lun, Sun Jin, etc.
There was even a memorial that directly surprised the Jin people who had read it, shouting "There are people in the Southern Dynasties" and "China cannot be taken lightly."
After that, he was exiled for more than ten years until Song Xiaozong Zhao Chu came to the throne and Hu Quan was reinstated to serve as Yilang and Zhiraozhou.
After that, the four tasks of cultivating virtue, forming a bond with the people, training troops, and observing provocations were discussed.
Song Xiaozong was so impressed by him that he was promoted all the way.
He successively served as editor of the Academy of National History and minister of the Ministry of War. He entered the official position as a bachelor of Zizheng Palace. On the way, he personally led the troops in Sheyang and directly repelled the attacking Jin people.
It can be said that Hu Quan was not very outstanding in his life. Compared with Li Gang, he was inferior in the art of war, and inferior in integrity and skill.
Compared with Zhao Ding, he was a little behind in governance. Although he also had a lot of skills in people's livelihood, he really couldn't compare with Zhao Ding.
In terms of admonishment, Li Guang was as good as Wei Zheng and Bao Zheng, and even Hu Quan could not compare with Li Guang.
But such a person is still one of the four famous ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. The reason is tantamount to moderation. He seems to be inferior to the abilities of the other three in one aspect, but in other aspects he is extremely comprehensive.
It can be used anywhere, and it works well everywhere.
"I think all of you dear friends are aware of Hu Quan's ability. Although he is young at this time, his talent is not outstanding. Of course, his popularity in the court is not very good.
But it is this person's uprightness that can control the current punishment department.
The Ministry of Punishment is newly established, and I need a group of people to step forward and join in the effort to prove the majesty of the Six Ministries. If Hu Quan does a good job, then he will be one of the Six Ministries.
If he can't do it well, then he will be my bait! "
After Zhao Huan finished speaking, the rest of the people had nothing to say. Li Gang, Zhao Ding and Yu Wenxuzhong all looked at each other, and then bowed to Zhao Huan above.
At the same time, Zhao Ding also added something to Zhao Huan after saluting.
"If this is the case, then it is really unnecessary to use King Yun as Hu Quan's deputy. King Yun is now in great prestige, so doing so would damage his prestige.
Why not ask him to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to help Zhang Jun..."
After Zhao Ding finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhao Huan, fearing that the now mature Zhao Huan wanted Hu Quan to suppress the prestige of King Yun.
Fortunately, Zhao Huan doesn't have the habit of attacking his own people now. He nodded without hesitation and made Zhao Ding and others breathe a sigh of relief.
As expected, his Majesty has never let him down.
"It would be appropriate to ask the third brother to go to the Ministry of Rites and appoint Zhang Jun as his deputy, so that he can help Zhang Jun and give him a transition period.
But what about the Ministry of Punishment? Now you are really relieved to let Hu Quan serve as the Minister of Punishment? "
"Didn't His Majesty say that Hu Quan can make us feel at ease?" Li Gang also chuckled at this time, rarely teasing Zhao Huan, and then turned his attention to Zhao Ding.
"Since you, the young man, put Prince Yun in the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid you have someone to choose from the Ministry of Punishments."
"I recommend it to you all the time!"
"Is this the one who committed the first crime in the army, killing nearly a thousand soldiers, and was called Wan Papi by the army?"
"Exactly!"
"This guy..." How could Zhao Huan be unfamiliar with Wan Qixi? However, he was hesitant when he heard the name. Finally, he looked at Zhao Ding and replied directly to him, "You are afraid that Hu Quan's life will be too bad in the future." Is it easy?
If you put Wan Qixi next to Hu Quan, wouldn't it mean that Wan Qixi would be thinking about how to kick Hu Quan and take charge of the side day and night? "
"Actually, I want to recommend Wan Qixi to be the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment and in charge of Dali Temple."
Zhao Ding fully demonstrated what it means to die without surprising someone, while Zhao Huan was speechless and stared at the sky at this time. He only felt that the future of Hu Quan, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, might not be so easy.
But I finally agreed to the matter, and I was looking forward to how many surprises Hu Quan could give me.
At the same time, Zhao Huan started a series of promotions. During this war, they cleaned up the officialdom again and again, clearing out thousands of officials.
At the same time, a batch of outstanding talents were also selected, especially the rising stars of the Song Dynasty.
"Secretary Secretary Zhang Gen, the son of Secret Pavilion Compiler Zhang Taoru, is the doctor in the Ministry of Rites and is responsible for the affairs of Taichang Temple."
"Zhimi Pavilion, Hunan Tixing Xin Ciying is an upright official, and he has the courage to speak out like a doctor in the household department."
"The compiler Wang Dabao is well versed in Confucian classics and also understands the methods of Neo-Confucianism from Hu Yin. He should vigorously promote it and reshape the way of loyalty. He should be appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and in charge of Honglu Temple."
"The number one scholar and the third king, Shipeng, advocated the fight against the Jin Dynasty and appointed famous generals. It was just right for him to go to the Ministry of War for training and to handle the heavy supplies of food and fodder for the army to see the effect."
"Given Li Yi's staunch reputation as Gou Long Ruyuan and admonishing the officials, he joined the Metropolitan Procuratorate to obey orders."
"Li Misun, the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was good at financial matters. He still joined the Ministry of Household Affairs as the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"The imperial censor Zheng Gang has a loyal heart, and he is decentralized to the imperial censor Zhongcheng!"
"Today, the world is still divided into Yongzhou and Liangzhou, taking the old places of Han and Tang Dynasties, Sichuan and Shu to Hanzhong are Yizhou, Hedong Road is Bingzhou, Shandong Road is Qingzhou, Hebei Road is still Jizhou, and the sixteen states of Yanyun are restored to Youzhou.
The original Yunzhong Jiuyuan and other counties were reused and merged into Bingzhou.
The land south of the Yangtze River was divided into two places, Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, which were separated from Yangzhou. The Central Plains reused names such as Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou.
The names of Jizhou and Youzhou are firmly engraved in my heart. If I don’t take back the old land of these two states, I will be sorry for my ancestors!
Back then, the world was divided into nine states. It was fought by countless ancestors from generation to generation. From nine states, it became thirteen states. Then the thirteen states could no longer accommodate it and turned into Taoist mansions.
But now, I, the Song Dynasty, can't even take back the Kyushu that I had back then.
It made Jizhou look like this back then, and even left it outside.
I am guilty, you are guilty, everyone in the Song Dynasty is guilty! "
Zhao Huan's words made everyone bow down and listen to the lesson, and Zhao Huan also set the final tone.
After struggling for so long, it's time for him to get down to business.
"The peace talks will be speeded up, and then the border market will be opened immediately. It doesn't matter if you give them some money or silk, whether it is 300,000 or 500,000, as long as it is given to their powerful relatives.
The more you give, the happier I am.
Then buy war horses, furs, and medicinal materials from them.
It doesn't matter if they refuse to sell it. As for the people who sold me the grain back then, now that the money has come, it's up to them whether they want it or not.
I need war horses, medicinal materials, and everything on the grassland!
Moreover, we really need horse breeding land..."
After saying the last sentence, Zhao Huan looked at Yue Fei in the corner.
"I just said that I need land to raise horses, did Pengju hear me?"
"The general heard it."
"Do you know where I want it?"
"The Yellow River is full of evils, but only one thing is rich!"
"Yes, the Yellow River is full of dangers, but it is only rich. I want the Hetao, and I must have the Hetao. In the future, this place must become my horse breeding land. Do you understand?"
"If we can't recapture the Loop, we will finally come to see you!"
"Go and prepare. Zhao Ding, Li Gangyu, Wen Xuzhong, even Lu Yihao and others behind, and the six ministries of the imperial court will all support you.
You are the governor of Hebei, and you must prepare everything for the Northern Expedition.
On the day when the actual order is delivered, you must let me know that I have not misjudged you, Yue Pengju! "
"I will obey the order!"
