Zhao Hao understood what Shi Hao meant.
While Zhao Gou is away, he can do things here and there, including the court and the army, but he must have a certain degree of restraint and retain the most basic safety bottom line for Zhao Gou.
The bottom line is Yang Cunzhong.
As an absolute confidant of Zhao Gou, Yang Cunzhong continued to exist in the Sanya forbidden army system and controlled an army, which was of great significance to Zhao Gou.
After all, Zhao Gou gave up the throne to Zhao Gou. If he had taken advantage of Zhao Gou's absence to seize all the power and left nothing to Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou would not say anything, but it might affect Zhao Gou's reputation. , giving him the evaluation of [unfilial].
That was a bit too big a blow to Zhao Xin.
Zhao Gou may even use not returning to Lin'an as a bargaining chip to blackmail Zhao Xin into doing things he doesn't want to do. By then, Zhao Xin will lose the initiative and it will be difficult to get things done.
This is what is called eating people with a short mouth and taking people with short hands. As a superficial relative who has no direct or indirect blood relationship with Zhao Gou for who knows how many times, Zhao Min still has inherent shortcomings.
Therefore, the force of the Dianqian Division must be handed over to the command of Yang Cunzhong as the source of Zhao Gou's sense of security.
As for the remaining two troops, the Guards Ma Junsi and the Guards Infantry Division, Zhao He can re-recruit troops, reorganize and train them. The soldiers trained in this way will of course be his own soldiers. Listen to him.
With the troops of Yang Cunzhong and Dianqiansi as the bottom line of safety, Zhao Gou would most likely not interfere with Zhao Min's direct control of the Guards Ma Junsi and Guards Infantry Division, and would allow him to develop his own strength.
After such a set of procedures, within two or three years, Zhao Yan will have the dignity of a powerful emperor, and he will have a foundation to avenge his past humiliation - a military foundation and a political foundation.
The armies of the three capital commanders and the two armed forces of the Forbidden Army directly obeyed his command. No matter what Zhao Gouxiang wanted to do or what some villains wanted to do, they would not be able to stop Zhao Min.
He has his own base.
After hearing Shi Hao's overall plan, Zhao Min was overjoyed and thanked Shi Hao repeatedly for his plan.
Shi Hao finally set a goal for Zhao Zhen to avenge his humiliation, hoping that Zhao Zhen could "bury his head for ten years and meet the Ming Dynasty" and "endure the humiliation for ten years and be proud of him one day".
Although Zhao Min felt that ten years was a bit long, now was not the time to argue about this. He was eager to find a feasible strategy to avenge his shame, so he expressed his willingness to accept this plan.
Even in order to express his determination, he hung a piece of gall above his bed, following Gou Jian's example.
Of course, it's a bit hard to live without pay.
Zhao Xun likes soft beds rather than hard beds.
In the first few days, he forced himself to sleep on a wooden bed to sharpen his mind, but after a few days of sleep, he couldn't sleep well. Not only did he suffer from backache, but also dark circles under his eyes. He felt that if this continued, it would even affect the handling of state affairs, which would delay things too much. After a while, he changed the hard bed into a soft bed.
The gall has always been hanging on his bed. He would lick it every morning and taste the extremely bitter taste to remind himself not to forget the humiliation forced upon him by the Ming Dynasty.
He really did this in the first few days, reflecting on himself with bitterness in his mouth, making plans with Shi Hao, imagining how to implement the plan in the future, and how to solve the problems that lay ahead of him.
But after tasting the gall a few times, he felt that the gall was really painful to his heart, and it was really uncomfortable, so Zhao Min felt that it was better to taste the bitter taste. The bitterness at that time could also remind him that there was no need to continue to suffer.
With this thought, he quickly convinced himself, and then asked the eunuch around him to prepare maltose. After tasting the gall, he quickly rinsed his mouth, and then put a piece of maltose in his mouth, feeling happy in his mouth and happy in his heart.
This is the so-called bitterness first and then sweetness.
After the plan to avenge his humiliation was completed, Zhao Min had goals and hopes to fight for. He got up again and did not fall into despair as some courtiers thought.
He very bravely resumed governance after seven days, resumed his governance, and fulfilled his responsibilities as emperor.
Zhao Yan is still determined.
He not only recalled Zhang Jun, but also recalled a number of ministers from the main war faction who had been rejected by Zhao Gou, Tang Sidei and others.
He recalled Wang Dabao, Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng, Wang Yingchen, Chen Lianghan and other officials of Zhang Jun's faction who were fighting for the war, and he vigorously denounced officials of the Zhuhe and even surrendering factions at that time.
A group of people who had advocated surrender and had loud voices in the previous turmoil were retaliated by Zhao Min.
Those ministers who conspired to have contact with Zhao Tieshi and Zhao Wanshi were also removed from their posts, transferred from Lin'an and even sent to Lingnan.
Zhao Tiezhi and Zhao Wanshi were also changed their residences by him, and they lived under Zhao Min's strict surveillance from then on.
A political storm that was not considered a political storm started amidst Zhao Hao's quiet personnel actions.
From the end of May to the beginning of June, Zhao Hao dismissed a total of seventeen officials from their positions, demoted the positions of twenty-three officials, and transferred twenty-seven officials from Lin'an and deported them to the difficult places of Lingnan to serve as county magistrates. Waiting for an official position is tantamount to exile.
All the positions they vacated were used by Zhao Hao to place officials from the main war faction.
There is no shortage of high-ranking officials among the dismissed officials.
For example, Tang Situi was dismissed. After he helped the Ming army complete its mission of ceding territory and returned to the court, he was impeached.
Zhao Hao disliked Tang Situi and felt that although Tang Situi had no contact with Zhao Tie and Zhao Wanshi, he was a pure peace advocate. When it came to peace talks, he was sound and logical, and when it came to resistance, he was like a fool. What should such a person do to him? use?
How could such a person be allowed to serve as Prime Minister of the Empire?
Some officials newly promoted by Zhao Xi understood what Zhao Xi meant and never mentioned Tang Si Tui's contribution in this war. Instead, they criticized some of Tang Si Tui's past things that seemed to be subtle and subtle, and criticized him. A sudden attack.
Tang Sidei became the target of public criticism for no apparent reason. Before he could fight back, he received an edict from the emperor, which gave him a decent title, a job to promote Taoism, and sent him home to retire.
Tang Si's ominous premonition before he retreated to the north actually came true, and he really became the first person among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries to be eliminated.
Although it is said that once the emperor is the emperor, there are always ministers, but Zhao Xun's actions were a bit too fast.
After Tang Si Tui came Shen Gai. Not only did Shen Gai and Tang Si Tui wear a pair of trousers, they also slept on the same quilt. They had the same mind, and in Zhao Hao's eyes, they were in cahoots.
When Lin'an was in danger, the two of them made no contribution. They only pretended to be dumb and did nothing. Shi Hao was the only one holding on, struggling to hold up the situation.
What use do you need?
So Shen Gai was also impeached, and it was said that there was something wrong with his lifestyle. He took a 16-year-old concubine at a very old age. He was old and disrespectful, and he was not worthy of the high position of prime minister and minister and became a role model for all officials.
This is just looking for trouble to retaliate.
But there was no other way. It was the emperor who wanted revenge, the emperor who could decide life and death with just one word. What else could Shen do?
So Shen Gai also got a job as a Taoist priest and went back to his hometown to retire.
The original interim heads of the Privy Council, Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi, were considered to have done nothing in such a defeat, had no military talent, and were not worthy of important positions in the Privy Council. Therefore, they were transferred to local governments as local administrative officials and no longer appeared in the central government.
Their vacant positions were filled by war-fighting officials who re-entered the Lin'an court.
During this period, officials from the main war faction who had been squeezed out one after another rushed back to Lin'an. They were also appointed to high-ranking positions one after another and held a lot of real power.
For example, Zhang Jun was appointed to the Privy Council and became the chief military officer of the Song Dynasty.
Hu Quan, the famous war minister, was appointed to the Privy Council of Tongzhi and became the military deputy minister of the Song Dynasty.
Chen Kangbo was appointed Shangshu Zuopushe and became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.
Then Shi Hao was appointed as Shangshu Youpuse, becoming the second prime minister after Chen Kangbo.
Then Wang Dabao, who was also a minister of the main war faction, was appointed as the Minister of Rites, Chen Lianghan was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Yingchen was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Chen Junqing was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Of course, Zhao Min did not forget the three courageous young officials who persisted in resisting at the last moment.
He decided to give them some opportunities to showcase their talents.
So he transferred all three of them, Yu Yunwen, Lu You and Han Yuanji, to the Privy Council to become Privy Council editors and participate in the daily affairs of the Privy Council.
