During the Song Dynasty, various prefectures and counties once again established an official position to encourage learning and career.
The so-called "encouraging students to engage in learning" refers to taking charge of all school construction and school teaching matters under the rule.
Of course, Zhao Huan understood what it meant to unify an idea, and it represented the confinement of ideas, but he knew even more clearly that countless realities from later generations told him that if he wanted to achieve a strong ability to mobilize the court, unification of ideas was absolutely indispensable. of.
Therefore, although the official position of "encouraging learning and engaging in education" is only a sixth-grade official position, it is very important and is directly under the responsibility of Zhao Huan.
And the third brother Zhao Kai, who had locked himself in the mansion, was also brought out by him and was once again appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He was also the person responsible for promoting learning and doing things.
"This matter is of great importance. The matter of encouraging students to learn is related to the fate of our country for a century. You must understand."
"Understood!" Zhao Kai, who was released from the mansion again, became more cautious and honest, and seemed to have become silent.
Zhao Huan didn't say much after seeing his appearance. He just kept telling him to wait aside.
Then came his son, the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Chen. Of course, Zhao Huan had two sons over the years, but one died early and the other, Zhao Xun, had always been in poor health. maintain.
At this time, Zhao Chen's teachings had achieved a lot. He and his companion Zhao Bocong came to Zhao Huan and bowed to him.
"Starting from today, you will be by my side, listening to the government affairs. Bocong will leave the town in a year's time and go to various places to try out the government."
"My son, take your orders."
"My lord understands."
After the two people bowed and accepted the order, they stood directly in the corner of the hall. After the court meeting, the ministers of various ministries who returned to their seats also began to continue handling the government affairs in front of Zhao Huan.
It's just that this handling of government affairs is completely different from what Zhao Chen and Zhao Bocong imagined.
"Your Majesty, now the lists reported by the royal officials from various places have been verified, and the Imperial City Department has also investigated. Except for the five things that were reported after hearing the news, the rest are all conclusive evidence.
It's just that today's officials in various places have not yet realized what we are doing.
In the future, if they know the intensity of our efforts, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to kill corruption as much as we do now. "
Li Gang, the censor of Zuodu, handed over the third wave of lists, and then Zhao Huan read it and handed it directly to Hu Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.
"Department of Punishment, take the people first!"
Then Li Gang took out the second memorial.
"This is another list. Some of the people involved in the party, headed by Tang Siwei, are using their power for personal gain, but Tang Siwei, headed by this person, is different.
This person was admitted to Jinshi the year before last and ranked first in the "erudite and macro-ci" list. He was extremely talented and learned. After leaving the court, he never committed any corruption or abuse of law when he became an official.
He was a very upright and honest man, but when he faced the rewards from King Yun, he did not dare to accept them, and he had no interest in money.
However, Chen Junqing, the censor under the command of the Censor Taiwan, condemned him for relying on cleverness and tricks, and his attitude was treacherous. He once said that he would cede the land of the Jin Kingdom to preserve our national destiny of the Song Dynasty.
It's just that these words were said when the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom were at war, and now the old minister does not agree with his conviction.
But this person should be reprimanded! "
After Li Gang handed over the second list, he politely interceded for one of them. After all, in Li Gang's view, although he hated Tang Sihui who would cede land at every turn and seek compromise.
But in today's climate, it is not easy for an official who is upright and honest and can manage the local area... this thing is not easy for him.
"Nonsense, why are you keeping this kind of person? You can't take the lead in surrendering after the next war!" Zhao Huan just took the memorial in his hand and before he had time to open it, Yu Wenxuzhong on the side had already slapped the table and cursed.
The huge movement made Crown Prince Zhao Chen, who was recording on the side, so frightened that he dropped his pen.
Although Zhao Bocong on the side was better than Zhao Chen, his trembling hands also showed a lot of things. How could this courtier of the Song Dynasty be so surprised!
What happened next made the two of them even more excited.
Li Gang looked at Yu Wenxuzhong, who was getting angry, and raised his eyebrows. He didn't care at all that the old guy sent himself to the Imperial City Division to keep him company in order to save him.
"Mr. Yuwen, can you tell me what crime he committed?"
"Certaining territory and seeking peace is an unacceptable thought!"
"Ha!" Li Gang couldn't help but sneered, "If he can't, then if that's what he says, you, Yu Wenxuzhong, go home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Which peacemaker in the world is as capable as you?
You, Yu Wenxuzhong, were not the same back then, and you were striving for peace!
And Zhao Ding, you were not a good guy back then. How could you guarantee that when I left the court?
We are determined to fight to the end. How come you want to make peace with me as soon as I leave?
Duplicitous..."
"Li Gang, just scold him if you scold him. What did you do to a certain family? Did a certain family offend you?" Zhao Ding seemed to be very angry. He slapped the table angrily again, which scared Zhao Chen and threw away his pen again.
"Is it possible that what I said is wrong?"
"Do you think it's you, Li Gang, who fights to the end at all costs? We, the Song Dynasty, are short of major generals. Who in the war and war is not for the Song Dynasty?
What are you waiting for and yelling at me here? "
"Now you are talking about this. Why did you insist on letting Tang Si retreat just now? Why can you Yu Wenxuzhong sue for peace, but Tang Si retreat can't do this?"
"How come you can't understand people's words? I'm asking for peace to establish an alliance of brothers and open up mutual markets, and wait for us to start war again after we accumulate strength.
What is Tang Si Tui?
That is ceding territory to seek peace, how can it be compared here! "
"Ha, haha, you Yu Wenxuzhong are so shameless now, is your so-called brotherly alliance now?
Or was it when my kingdom of Song Dynasty was conquered by Wanyan Zonghan?
Why weren't you so domineering back then and wanted to form a brotherly alliance with that Jin man?
He just said what you wanted to say but did not dare to say at the time. He has committed a heinous crime and you are innocent..."
"Cough cough cough cough..." Zhao Huan coughed and interrupted the quarrel between several people, and then looked at Li Gang and Yu Wenxuzhong.
"If we continue, will the story about me being almost chopped into pieces by a golden man back then be revealed?"
"I can't wait!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Huan raised his hand after thinking for a moment before putting it down, "There is no further discussion on whether we should be the main peace or the main war. The situation back then was caused by the weakness of the Song Dynasty.
But whoever dares to say such nonsense now should be captured immediately by the Imperial City Secretary!
In addition, although Tang Situi was not corrupt, the evidence of his involvement in cliques was conclusive, and he was denounced as... Where is this guy's hometown? "
"Yonggao, the second ancestor of the Tang family, moved from Qingtian to Shiwa, Jianchuan at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. His great-grandfather Tang Gao moved from there to Tanghoumen Village, Longmen Township, Longquan County.
He is from a truly poor background, but Your Majesty, this magistrate of Longquan County has not done anything wrong recently, and..."
"Where's next to him?"
"The magistrate of Zhenghe County has changed and can be appointed!"
"Let him go to Zhenghe County and become the county magistrate, and stay there for a few years, and then we can talk about his problems clearly!"
"My lord, I obey the order."
Afterwards, Zhao Huan once again ordered a series of things, with two main purposes.
First, fight against corruption and continue to fight against corruption. Whether in history or now, Zhao Huan is the emperor of the Song Dynasty who hates corruption the most.
Second, encourage learning.
All schools threw away the nonsense that Zhenzong said back then, confiscated all the books and opinions of Emperor Zhenzong back then, and burned them all.
"Things like this are spread all over the world...that's all, he is the ancestor!"
In addition, some taxes in various places will continue to be exempted to appease the people, and roads and waterways in various places will also be built to ensure that there will be a smooth logistics supply road when war comes.
He called Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, the Wu brothers and Yue Fei to Luoyang to discuss important matters.
The Song Dynasty continued to grow through reforms one after another, and the Kingdom of Jin on the other side was also changing during this process.
Emperor Wanyan Sheng of the Kingdom of Jin passed away, and the new emperor Wanyan Dan successfully ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Zongpan were appointed as the three generals of the Jin Dynasty, and they became well-deserved powerful ministers.
Among them, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were both quite loyal to him, but Wanyan Zongpan continued to expand his power.
When the news spread to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan knew that this unlucky child was going to die soon.
Before Wanyan Sheng died, he could clearly tell his idiot son that he should honestly become a rich man.
He refuses to give up his rights, so there is no doubt about what awaits him.
Sure enough, in just one year, Wanyan Dan, who was in a stable position, took action against his cousin.
For the crime of treason, Wanyan Zongpan will be executed!
At the same time, all his henchmen were caught in one fell swoop.
The Kingdom of Jin was approaching stability, but Zhao Huan did not take the opportunity to take action against it. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to accelerate the reform of the Song Dynasty.
Of course, in order to express his grief, Zhao Huan personally ordered the Supreme Emperor, the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji, to pay homage to Wanyan Sheng on behalf of the Song Dynasty.
Once again delaying this guy's return.
While the Jin people and the Song Dynasty continued to calm down the civil strife, Mongolia also did something that shocked the world.
He took out the Kled tribe!
When Yue Fei defeated Mongolia, they were hunted down by numerous soldiers and almost withdrew from the land of Xixia.
But just when everyone felt that they could only return to their ancestral land, the Xixia rebel general Ren Dejing struck back again and helped the Mongolian army gain a firm foothold.
On the one hand, he used his sister as an internal agent and united with his old troops to steal many technologies of Xixia and the distribution map of iron ore mines.
On the other hand, he pretended to block Mongolia, but secretly cooperated with Nahebul and ambush many soldiers who were chasing the Mongolian army.
In the first battle, he killed the rebel leader Duo You, and took advantage of the situation to wipe out the two major tribes of Weizhou's Dabin and Jingzhou's Mianqing.
Hebule also turned around and destroyed the elite Bubazi who were encircled by Xixia. If Xiao Heda hadn't been smart and immediately evacuated when he saw something was wrong, and asked the Song Dynasty for help, he would not have escaped death.
After clearing the rear area, he not only gained a foothold and a lot of food.
The most important thing is that the Nakhle tribe thought that Hebul could no longer make any noise, so they relaxed and rushed into the territory.
While desperately resisting, their rear was once again attacked by another Mongolian army, the Taiyichiwuti faction.
For a time, they suffered heavy losses, and their commanders had no choice but to flee. Most of their family members were captured by Hebule and suffered a lot of destruction.
At the same time, Jin and Mongolia formed an alliance, and the attitude of Yelu Dashi of the Liao Kingdom was unclear.
War broke out again.
