Chen Shu's mother passed away.

There was no saying that Ding You of the Song Dynasty had three years. Of course, it would be best if he could last for three years. However, a capable minister like Chen Shu could not last for three years. After a hundred days, he would issue an edict to resume his post, which is also called the robbery.

However, within these 100 days, you must build a small shed, ban music, singing, dancing, and all entertainment activities. You can live a life like a monk in the small shed, otherwise you will be unfilial.

Chen Shu was careful to run the finances for the country and was almost over. Coupled with the 100-day life of ascetic monks and the grief after his mother's death, although he was appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng again after a hundred days, he soon left the world.

This person, like Song Jiu, did not like to speak much. Therefore, no one paid attention to the credit. However, in the Xianping rule, there was no war and no benefit to the government, but the country became better, the people became richer, and the finances increased. Not only did the credit for Zhao Heng and Xianping rule, but not only did the credit for Lu Mengzheng, Lu Duan, Zhang Qixian, Xiang Minzhong and Li Yan, but Chen Shu's careful management must not be ignored.

As for Kou Zhun, it has nothing to do with Kou Zhun, and his contribution is behind him.

Therefore, Song Jiu insisted that Zhao Heng would not give his posthumous title to his writing, and that the world was called literary, morality was widely known as literary, knowledge was called literary, knowledge was diligent in learning, knowledge was called literary, kindness, kindness, kindness, love for the people, kindness, politeness, kindness, politeness, politeness, gifts to the people, titles, literature, virtue and righteousness were called harmony.

Wen Mo is a portrayal of Chen Shu's life, and he asked Lu Mengzheng to write a monument to him.

A right-hand assistant is lost, but what should I do next?

Song Jiu entered the palace and found Zhao Heng and said, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of my ministers, Li Jilong should be the governor of Shengzhou."

Zhao Heng's face changed slightly.

To be honest, Zhishengzhou made Li Jilong wronged, but now Shengzhou governs most of the Nanhetao area, including soldiers stationed there for more than 100,000 days and nights.

Song Jiu said tactfully: "Your Majesty. You cannot harm the pillars of the country because of a villain. You can guarantee it."

"this……"

"Now there is no shortage of generals. In the opinion of the minister, the country has at least twenty good generals. Wang Chao can only be ranked last among these twenty good generals." Song Jiu's words did not belittle Wang Chao. The number he said was only twenty. How many generals are there in the country from middle to high? Wang Chao can rank in the top twenty, which is considered overestimated.

"But what the country lacks is the commander, the commander who can command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight. In the opinion of the minister, even Yang Yanzhao, Wei and other generals who can fight on the front line may not be able to do so. It is no other reason. They lack the experience of commanding so many soldiers. However, no one dares to test it for them. Please think twice."

Zhao Heng was still a little hesitant.

Song Jiu wanted to scold Wang Ji'en's mother, so he had to say again: "Like Lu Mengzheng, who had helped the second prince in the past, but is not loyal to Your Majesty now. For example, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Zhijie and others of the Tang Dynasty, that one was not an enemy of Emperor Taizong of Tang. Besides, Li Jilonghu."

Song Jiu persuaded him for a long time, and Zhao Heng agreed.

Of course, this is the last board.

I also have to thank someone. The Liao Dynasty enshrined officials fled to the Song Dynasty and came to surrender. When they met Zhao Heng, they said that the Han soldiers in Youzhou under the Liao Dynasty had about 18,000 cavalry, and the generals, Khitan, nine girls, Xi, the north and south, real relics, eight relics, and the four towns behind the mountain were about 18,000 cavalry, and the Khitan masters were 5,600, and the remaining 93,950 soldiers were immediately invaded south.

"In this way, the Khitan forces are not much."

"Your Majesty, it's not. All the people in the north have soldiers. If necessary, they can immediately dispatch troops to Xi, Wuhai, Bohai, Shatuo, Tuhun and other tribes. They can even mobilize troops to Shiwei, Jurchen, Tatar and Wugu enemy Lie. For example, Yelu Xizhen mobilized nearly 400,000 troops to attack Goryeo when he was conquering Goryeo."

Four hundred thousand iron cavalry, the hall was silent at that time.

The Liao Kingdom only had about 100,000 cavalry to march south at a time, but that time the Song Dynasty did not struggle very hard, and would even fail.

If 400,000 cavalry of the Liao Kingdom went south, it would be a nightmare for the Song Dynasty.

Under such pressure, Zhao Heng agreed to Li Jilong go to Shengzhou. The fact that Shengzhou is also fake, mainly let Li Jilong understand these current strong teams, which will be convenient for command in the future.

...

The person Song Jiu respected the most was not Chen Shu, but Chen Shu was ranked second. Although this person was once his subordinate, many theories were taught by Song Jiu.

The person whom the most respect is not Lu Mengzheng. Lu Mengzheng has a great reputation, but he feels a little bit like a false reputation. In fact, in Song Jiu's mind, Lu Mengzheng's status is not as good as Zhang Qixian.

But it was not Zhang Qixian. Zhang Qixian was too bold and Song Jiu couldn't learn it.

It’s not Xiang Minzhong, who is not as good as Lu Mengzheng.

As for what kind of style Lu Duan is like as prime minister, Song Jiu has never seen it and will not comment on it.

The person he respects the most may not know about many people, that is, the Holy Prime Minister Li Yan.

This is a monster. Zhao Heng went to Daming Mansion. Li Han stayed in the capital. After returning, the capital was managed in an orderly manner. Zhao Heng talked to him and asked him what to pay attention to before governing the country. Li Han said that it is the most important thing to pay attention to if you don’t choose shallow people who are very fond of merit.

You can compare the events of the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in history...

Kou Zhun had a good relationship with Ding Wei at this time and recommended him to Li Han many times. Li Han disagreed and said that how could Ding Wei be at a high position when he looked at him as a human being.

Kou Zhun said, can you suppress someone like Ding Wei for the rest of your life?

Li Ying said, if you regret it in the future, you will think of me. Later, Kou Zhun was framed by Ding Wei, and then he thought of it, regret it.

Li Han presented the thieves from all directions to Zhao Heng every day. Wang Dan thought it was not enough to be bothered. Li Han said, "Young people should know the sufferings of the people." Otherwise, if you are full of energy and not pay attention to the sound and color, it is a work of civil and military prayer temples. I am old and can't see it. You are still young, and I am afraid you will be troubled in the future.

Later, Zhao Heng looked for gods everywhere, and Wang Dan was worried.

This is not something Song Jiu admires, he just admires it a little.

In the past, Zhao Kuangyi demoted him, and Song Jiu looked down on this person a little. This time he came to the Secretariat, and heard and saw with his own eyes how Li Feng did things. He did not argue or talk, but just did it. Even if Song Jiu had a golden finger, he was far from being such a person in many things.

Li Han was the biggest contributor to the Xianping rule. But Song Jiu neglected one thing, that is, how much brain cells it takes to grasp.

But Zhao Heng changed his year name to be named Liu E, and Li Heng became seriously ill later.

Zhao Heng took his ministers to visit Li Han.

Li Han was bedridden, but looked at Song Jiu.

"Mr. Li, what do you have to say?"

"What should I do after the matter is completed?"

"After things are done, I will deal with the funeral. I believe that the country's livelihood will become very difficult at that time, but if it is done in one year, I will retire. When my husband is tired and sick, I will become like this. I don't have the heart of my husband. I still want to enjoy my old age."

"Duke Song, it's not because Li forced you to express your opinion in public. Li believes in it. But you can't make a bad name public. Just like Emperor Xuanzong of Tang treats Xue Ne, of course Xue Ne is far inferior to the Duke."

"I know."

"I will work hard for Mr. Song in the future."

Li Wei was no longer able to do it. Song Jiu was in trouble. Do you really expect Wang Qinruo and Wang Dan? Wang Qinruo has the ability and poor ethics. Wang Dan was too young. Now he can only say that he is slowly cultivating. And Lu Mengzheng seems to be sick too. Then Song Jiu would be in trouble.

"Oh, once Chen Shu left, my court would be missing one Guan Zhong. Junruo... that would be missing one Xiao He or Fang Du." Song Jiu sighed.

Of course, many people don’t understand their conversation. But it doesn’t matter, Zhao Heng understood it.

It is not a fault for Li Weng. Song Jiu is so prestige now that many important officials are his subordinates or students who are involved in it. After saying this, Li Weng closed his eyes with peace of mind.

Zhao Heng burst into tears.

In July of the first year of Jingde, Li Han, who was only fifty-seven years old, passed away.

Later, Lu Mengzheng also asked for help to retire due to illness. Zhao Heng was also afraid that Lu Mengzheng would have an accident. So he agreed. Zhao Heng was unwilling to bring Bi Shi'an up. He made great contributions to the management of the river in recent years. He did not worry about the people, and there were no disputes. The accounts were clear. After several years of governance, although the water in the Yellow River was very strong the year before yesterday, there was no lack of dams, and it was just that waterlogging was inevitable. But it was also better than the Yellow River's dam.

But for Bi Shi'an himself, he has achieved political achievements and accumulated a lot of practical experience.

It is not enough to have Bi Shi'an. There are many things to do in the future. In recent years, the Song Dynasty invested a lot of money, including scouts, and even bought several senior officials of the Liao Kingdom, so it obtained some secret information from the Liao Kingdom.

The news just came, so Li Han said what he said.

In fact, Song Jiu admired Li Ying, and Li Ying also admired Song Jiu very much, but he never dreamed that Song Jiu had a golden finger.

Therefore, it is not enough to have Bi Shi'an. Zhao Heng asked who can join you? Bi Shi'an said that he is sure to be loyal and righteous, and can make a big decision, but he is not as good as his ministers.

Zhao Heng said worriedly: "I heard that Kou Zhun was so angry, what can I do?"

"I forgot my body to follow the country, and follow the path to get angry, so I am not favored by the customs. Now the north has not been convinced, so it is better to use it if it is correct."

Bi Shi'an sent Kou Zhun to the Secretariat with one sentence.

Kou Zhun stepped into the Secretariat again.

However, he looked up at the top and saw two people on it. Bi Shi'an was the second Lu Duan, but there was another person like a mountain.

When Song Jiu saw Kou Zhun coming, he smiled and handed him a booklet.

"Pingzhong, look, this is the number of households counted by the Ministry of Revenue last year. More than 7.8 million people. How many people were there in Taizong's later years? How many people had increased in the world in just six years? More than 2 million households! Of course, there are also the income of the Sansi. Chen Shu recommended you to go to Sansi, you know better than me. But how many wars have occurred in recent years? Several major battles with the Liao Kingdom, there were also a little war in the northwest, and the Bashu Rebellion. How many disasters were there, drought, locust plague, the Yellow River Burst, the Waterlogging, and the Plague Epidemic. How many political achievements are not easy."

"The reason I want to say this is that this achievement is not only because His Majesty conscientiously initiated the Xianping Governance, as well as the efforts of the prime ministers and important officials, but also an atmosphere. For example, the minister of the Central Committee also had conflicts between the prime ministers, such as Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong have always been not very harmonious. But why? Therefore, everyone takes state affairs as the first person, puts grudges behind their heads, and governs this country in unity and heart."

"In the past, Mr. Zhao Pu recommended you, and I was optimistic about you. Your Majesty Taizong values ​​you. Why do you dare to take responsibility? Only by daring to take responsibility can you do good things. But you can't be impatient... If you don't make your future, so what if you get worse, you can be a magistrate or prefect of a big state. But extending your political life is for the sake of the country."

Song Jiu's words were heartfelt.

However, Kou Zhun was dissatisfied with Song Jiu soon.

Xiang Min is in the middle and lower grades, and the Prime Minister has always been vacant in the West Prefecture.

The Deputy Privy Councilor was also replaced by some Tongzhi Privy Councilor. Of course, it would be fine if the East and West governments could merge, but Song Jiu knew it was not.

So he made a suggestion that every ten days, if the country encounters serious difficulties, then three to five days, the chief officials of the east and west governments, the important ministries and envoys of the three departments, the two-system officials, and the censors and the censors above all were all concentrated in the Political Affairs Hall, and Zhao Heng presided over to discuss the state's military, government and finance affairs. In order to prevent the division of power, the departments and departments were not familiar with each other, and they would miss government affairs.

After all, government affairs are all linked together. For example, government affairs do not consider military affairs and finance, and military affairs do not consider government affairs and finance? Two-system officials draft edicts, and on-site and speaking to ministers are equivalent to a supervision agency. However, they do not know how to supervise military affairs and finance. Is it necessary to focus on the ministers' housework?

This is the improvement of the system.

Zhao Heng agreed.

However, Song Jiu recommended another person back, and Zhao Heng agreed, that is, to re-appoint Zhang Qixian and Wang Jiying as Privy Councilors.

Kou Zhun immediately objected.

But he immediately felt something was wrong after he said it, so there were two cold lights that made him cold all over, that was the eyes of Song Jiu and Zhao Heng.
