Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi sat opposite each other. The most important officials of the Zhe family in the prefectures and prefectures are all looking sad at this moment.

Zhaogou Group is in a booming stage of upward development, and all the civil and military officials under his command are rising steadily. However, their Zhe family has already seen the ceiling above their heads. How could this not be a heavy blow to the Zhe family?

When the job was settled, the Zhe family felt this fact vaguely, and in the next few months, they were repeatedly confirmed.

"The longer it takes, the less proud my family will be in the eyes of the King of Yan. Now the situation is about to be decided, so what will my uncle decide?"

Zhe Yanzhi was the nephew of Zhe Keshi's second son and Zhe Keqiu, but he was ten years older than Zhe Keqiu. As the legitimate branch of the Zhe family, relying on the father of a famous general, Zhao Song's status was far from being limited to the prefecture and prefecture.

However, things can change at any time, and the Song Dynasty that Zhe Yanzhi can rely on has undergone drastic changes. However, Zhe Keqiu held the main force of the Zhe family in his hand, and he still had a deep gap with the King of Yan and maintained a certain degree of independence. This position naturally jumped side by side with Zhe Yanzhi.

Even though the Zhe family in Fuzhou is a super big family that lives in groups, it has long been unknown how many branches it is divided into in the two hundred years. Zhe Yanzhi and Zhe Keqiu even have to give five goals (Zhe Yanzhi's Gaozu is Zhe Keqiu's great-grandfather), but because of the "family style" of the Zhe family, they are still very close to each other.

Both parties are in charge of the Zhe family. They have a huge influence in the prefectures and prefectures. They are both concerned about the long-term future and interests of the Zhe family. They speak without any temptations, and they are very straightforward.

The longer it takes, the more disliked the King of Yan will look at the Zhe family. Who dares to say that he will not wear small shoes for the Zhe family in the future?

Zhe Keqiu knew very well what Zhe Yanzhi meant, and more importantly, Zhe Yanzhi returned to the prefecture this time and brought a piece of news, a piece of news that concerns the overall situation of the world in the future - the grand plan of King Yan.

Why did the Song Dynasty rise during the Xuanhe period? Why did peasant uprisings frequently broke out in the Song Dynasty over the past 160 years?

This cannot be summarized by a corrupt official and the court’s harsh taxes.

In essence, this is the contradiction between the growing population and the inability to increase any more is the means of living.

As the most basic basis of agricultural society, land is the means of production, which cannot grow with the growth of population. There are many people and few lands. With the prosperity of the dynasty, the rich have fields and fields, and the poor have no place to stand. This is the inevitable result of Chinese feudal society.

It is now the Northern Song Dynasty, and there is still a large area of ​​land for development in the south. China's own potential has not been discovered to its extreme. However, China, which did not embark on the road of outward expansion in the Ming and Qing dynasties, was really waiting to die.

With the experience of the late Ming Dynasty, Zhao Gou used his old tricks again, so he should not be too relaxed and fulfilled. He drew a big pie in the eyes of the important civil and military officials in the court, of course, it would not involve overseas fining countries. Now is not the time, and it is not even his turn to implement this policy. But Zhao Gou just included the Western Xia and Jin people, as well as the Tubo in the southwest and the Western Regions in the northwest, into his grand achievements, which was a shocking cause in the eyes of many civil and military officials under his command.

The secret of the thunder is still not leaked, which gave Zhao Gou great confidence. The Jin people were defeated by the thunder in the plains and field battles that he was best at. Isn’t it easy for the King of Yan to destroy the Jin captives and destroy the Dangxiang in the future?

As for Tubo and the Western Regions, it was not that Zhao Song and the civil and military officials looked down on them. Tubo was no longer a powerful country with hundreds of thousands of armors during the Li Tang Dynasty. The Western Regions were even more unbearable. Only a large army could defeat Dangxiang and Jin Lu, subdue Tubo and sweep the Western Regions, and repeat the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties. That was no problem.

With such a huge ambition, you are not trusted by the King of Yan. Why are you among the names that will be famous in history in the future? How can you win wealth in the future?

More importantly, after entering the Song Dynasty, the biggest reason was that the Zhe family was able to take charge of the prefectures for 160 years was not the agreement between the ancestors and the court when they surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but that the prefectures were on the front line and fought for years. This was a border state. But if the Jin people were all over the King of Yan, the prefectures would be changed from a border state to a hinterland. How could the court tolerate the Zhe family to continue to be so "independence"?

Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi are not peerless famous generals, and they have no great contributions to both of them. Their current position is based on their fathers. One can match the other one can match the other, and that is the real famous general.

Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi's real capital now is the name that the Zhe family has gained in the northwest territory for more than 200 years, and it is the Zhe family army in the two prefectures of Fulin.

This is the foundation of the Zhe family and the reliance of the Zhe family in the prefecture for more than 200 years. But now it has also become a road blocking stone that prevents them from moving forward and going further.

Zhe Keqiu's face was gloomy. The Zhe family had served in the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years and had already made a deep mark on himself. Although in a sense, the Song Dynasty had long trusted them. This was because Zhe Yanzhi first worked in Hedong business and was the deputy of Li Gang's Taiyuan Battle. After the defeat in the Taiyuan Battle, he was not questioned, but was promoted to the deputy envoy of Hedong Hebei, Hebei. Later, he led 120,000 troops to defend the Yellow River with Li Hui, the head of the Privy Council. It can be said that he was so prosperous.

But the result was not very wonderful. The 120,000 army collapsed without fighting, and asked the Jin people to march straight into the city of Bianliang. Then Zhe Yanzhi was demoted to the deputy envoy of Haizhou Tuanlian and went to Yongzhou to settle.

It can be said that if it weren't for Zhe Keqiu's two ends of the rat in Taiyuan Campaign, and even after the Taiyuan Campaign, the King of Yan would not have been so suspicious of the Zhe family. Based on Zhe Yanzhi's merits in Chenliu's battle and hard work all the way north, how could he have only ended with a nameless deputy marshal? And he Zhe Keqiu was also strictly restricted to the prefectures?

It can be said that these are all faults that can be requested!

Although he himself did not think so, he was lazy and sloppy in the Battle of Taiyuan and lived in a temporary manner after the Battle of Taiyuan. This always saved the two states of Fulin and the foundation of the Zhe family army.

Otherwise, if they fight with the Jin people, even if they can defend the prefectures, they will probably be greatly damaged.

"Can the Zhe family make a second choice now?" Zhe Keqiu smiled bitterly.

When our ancestors surrendered to Zhao Song, they achieved such an unusual position for the Zhe family. The biggest reason was the geographical location of the two states of Fulin.

The two states were located on the border of Liao and Song dynasties, and the Zhe family in the Prefecture and Prefecture had an in-laws and ally, the Yang family in Linzhou, at that time, but what about now?

The Yang family in Linzhou had long declined. The Yang family, which chose a completely different route from the Zhe family, had only been glorious for four generations. The Yang Ye branch was born in the big house, and he has been unknown since Yang Wenguang. The second house Yang Chongxun (Yang Ye's younger brother) fell faster. Yang Chongxun was reported to be in the second son Yang Guangjian, who had defeated the Liao army with Zhe Yuqing in Fengzhou, but unfortunately he died young at the age of 31. At that time, his eldest son Yang Qi was only seven years old, so the Yang family did not specialize in Linzhou.

Therefore, even if the Zhe family, which has no allies in the hands of Fulin, is more than ten times more difficult than that in the past.

More importantly, the King of Yan was ambitious and wanted to swallow gold and summer, so how could he let the prefectures go?

"Of course I am unwilling to let go of my ancestral business." Zhe Keqiu served as the prefecture for many years, and his official position was lower than that of Zhe Yan, but he held the army and was like a small prince. Of course, he was so comfortable. "But today, what if I don't want to give up?"
