The Chen brothers saw the young emperor heartbroken and scolded the Lu family group for causing trouble for the Song Dynasty, and they also agreed. Lu Wende, the leader of the Lu family group, was also a famous general in the Song Dynasty. Throughout his life, he "struggled in the army, fought against the three sides, and fought all kinds of battles" and created a series of brilliant achievements. His role in the Song Dynasty's resistance to Mongolian invasion cannot be underestimated. He can be regarded as the mainstay of the Southern Song Dynasty's anti-Mongolia.

The Song court also relied on him very much, "listed it to the three orphans and respected it to two towns." After surrendering to Mongolia, Liu Zheng once said: "The southerners only rely on a black charcoal group." It can also be seen that his important position in the Song army. However, Lu Wende also had a very corrupt side. When he entered the capital to court, Zhao Xijing took the initiative to command his army. As a result, it was found that Lu Wende's army "had no military reserves, and he borrowed thousands of people, and was angry with Lu Xun". It was also normal for embezzlement of military pay and to take the imperial court's tuition to raise troops for himself.

In addition to corruption and low quality, Lu Wende was even more criticized by A Chong's use of private individuals and his followers to Jia Sidao, especially because he used his own tribe and fellow villagers to form a huge military group, and even placed family interests above national interests. At that time, people said that "thousands of miles along the border were under their control, and their generals were stationed in garrisons, so that their relatives could be private." In addition, Lu Wende also liked to exclude others. Liu Zheng was conspired to be excluded by Lu Wende and surrendered to Mongolia, causing significant losses and even threats to the Southern Song Dynasty.

After Lu Wende's death, his younger brother Lu Wenhuan became the head of the Lu family group. In the spring of the sixth year of Xianchun, he led 15,000 people and more than 100 soldiers to attack Wanshan Fort, a Yuan army shipbuilding base in the northwest of Xiangyang, but was repelled by Yuan army general Zhang Hongfan. After that, Li Tingzhi, the ambassador of Jinghu control, sent Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui to rescue him. Although the breakthrough was successful, he sent salt, cloth and other supplies that were urgently needed in the city.

However, Zhang Shun was killed in battle, while Zhang Gui was killed by the Yuan army while asking for help from the rebel general Fan Wenhu. As supplies were consumed day by day, fewer soldiers in the city were killed. In addition to the several persuasions and temptations of the Yuan army, Lu Wenhuan finally surrendered to the Yuan army in the ninth year of Xianchun, and Xiangyang City was declared lost. The surrender of the Mongol Yuan was as if he had gained a treasure. This was not only due to the strategic importance of Xiangyang, but also the important position of the Lü family in the Southern Song Dynasty. The children of the Lü family not only grasped the authority of the Song Dynasty, but also spread all over the Tai Pavilion. With their surrender, the Song Dynasty had no secrets in front of the Mongol Yuan.

After Lu Wenhuan surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols treated Lu Wenhuan preferentially, recruited the children and subordinates of the Lu family, and followed the order to visit Kublai Khan. He took the initiative to plan to attack Ezhou for the Yuan Dynasty, and asked himself to be the pioneer. He followed Boyan and others to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty, summoned Yanjiang Prefectures and counties, and captured Shayang, Xincheng, Ezhou and other cities. At that time, most of the generals along the river were old subordinates of the Lu family, and they rushed to the Fengfu. The Song court sent people to ask for peace many times, but Lu Wenhuan refused to listen. He advanced all the way, headed straight to the capital Lin'an, took the lead in entering the city, held a yellow list to promulgate the military and civilians, and visited the two palaces with Lu Wende's son-in-law Fan Wenhu.

With the lessons of the past, the Chen brothers were deeply concerned about the little emperor. Although the Lu family military group played an important role in resisting the Mongolian aggression, after Lu Wenhuan surrendered, it turned to the Yuan Dynasty like a domino, which became an important factor in the demise of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, if Lu Wende cultivated a family military group, it would be detrimental to the long-term interests of the Song Dynasty, and this situation must be broken to avoid repeating the same mistakes...

"Your Majesty's intention is clear, but please make it clear how to implement it!" Chen Renweng had already realized the significance of eliminating the Zhongzong Party of the Army, but he had no idea how to operate it, so he asked for advice.

"If we want to change the current situation in the army and promote change, the Ministry of War is a heavy responsibility, and it is an exaggeration to call it the leader." Zhao Bing sorted out his thoughts, "The key to this matter is to reverse the ideas of the upper and lower levels of the army, break the interest groups with relatives and neighbors as the link, and turn them into an army that is loyal to the country, rather than being loyal to the clan, and understand that the interests of the country must be higher than the interests of the clan."

"I understand, but the current situation in the army has been established. If forced to push, it may break the balance and reduce the combat effectiveness!" Chen Renweng already understood the emperor's intentions, so he expressed his worries without worry.

"Mr. Linzhou is right. Our current changes must be based on not damaging combat effectiveness or causing turmoil. Therefore, changes in the military not only require time, but also require methods and methods to use some skills." Zhao Bing nodded and highly appreciated his opinions.

"I really admire Your Majesty's far-reaching strategy. I think Your Majesty had already started to plan this matter a few years ago. Now it is already a natural way of water. All I lack is to push it." Chen Zeweng saw that his brother was still confused. He not only sighed that he had been in the army for too long, lacking political vision and mind, and it was inevitable that he would not understand the situation when he first entered the court, so he reminded him.

"Brother, this..." Chen Renweng turned his gaze to his brother, and his eyes were still confused.

"Oh, you are a mystery to the authorities!" Chen Zeweng shook his head and sighed, "Linzhou, Your Majesty has established a new army training brigade, and you will not forget this matter, right?"

"Of course, is it related to this matter?" Chen Renweng nodded. He was appointed to preside over the new military, and this matter was also something he deserves to be proud of.

"When the new military brigade was formed, the students selected were not only elite from each department, but also recruited from scholars, regardless of region or origin. After the school was completed, they went to each department to serve as grassroots officers, right?" Chen Zeweng asked.

"Well... I understand!" Chen Renweng said suddenly after hearing this.

In the past, most officers promoted in the army chose military personnel with military merits from the headquarters and recommended them to their superiors. Not to mention that they left private promotions for senior officers and space for confidants. The promoted officers stayed in the headquarters and naturally were grateful to their "benefactor" and followed their leader, and inevitably formed interest groups. Under the current system, most grassroots officers were in martial arts. When promoted to intermediate officers, they had to study martial arts, and then uniformly allocated by the Ministry of War, which did not necessarily return to the headquarters to serve. This would avoid the formation and development of small groups to the greatest extent.

In addition, the new recruitment system changed the old example of being a soldier for life as soon as you enter the army, which increased the mobility of soldiers in the army, making it difficult to form long-term interest groups. The recruitment and training of new recruits are now under the responsibility of the Ministry of War. The recruits recruited from various places are first assigned to different training camps, and after the training is completed, the soldiers are then assigned to each army. This also breaks the military structure with regions and clans as the main body in the past. There is also the promotion system that is constantly renewed within the army, which also makes the flow of officers a normal state and breaks the soil for forming a small community.

"So Your Majesty has laid the foundation for your next step in promoting military reform, so it will be much easier for you to do it!" Chen Zeweng said.

"At present, the Ministry of War should further refine the military merit system and guarantee system, so that things that could only be obtained by relying on clans and regions in the past can be consolidated through the system so that they can obtain needs without forming a small community, and thus make the concept of clans increasingly weak and the concept of the country be established." Zhao Bing said.

"Well, I've written it down!" Chen Renweng nodded.

"Now it is the time to investigate. We must strengthen the training of the military and political system. They are not only aides in the military, but also supervisors who maintain the military system. However, when I was in front of me, Jiankang and his party found that in the military and political system, such as Yan Yue and others, they tried to intervene in military command and seize military power in an all-round way. This is a very dangerous thing, and it is also a legacy of the past that governs military affairs through civil affairs. They must be resolutely eliminated." Zhao Bing reminded again.

"The subordinates will definitely rectify the Ministry of War from top to bottom, and those who are not suitable for joining the army will be eliminated!" Chen Renweng said again.

"Well, it's very good. Use heavy dictates in troubled times. The army is the foundation of the country. It must not be chaotic. It must not be ruthless to those who are chaotic!" Zhao Bing was very satisfied with his attitude.

"There is another thing to strengthen. The army should instill national concepts, understand the meaning of family, country and world, and know that only with a country can one have family. Now, I have asked Chen Dun to promote it in martial arts and cultivate the overall concept of grassroots officers. You should also add relevant content to this year's recruit training. I will also issue edicts to each army and order them to carry out relevant education. The Ministry of War should actively cooperate!" Zhao Bing said.

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!" Chen Renweng said.

"Your Majesty, please taste it!" The two guys who avoided it at this time guessed that the words inside were almost done and personally brought the dishes they had just cooked.

"Not bad, but unfortunately, there is no..." Zhao Bing saw the ones given were moxibustion glutinous rice, moxibustion quail jelly, moxibustion cooked cakes and roasted bones. The meaning of roasting is grilling, which reminded him of the barbecue in his previous life. In summer, several people found a stall, and drank cold beer while eating skewers. So he spoke casually, but he immediately realized where to find beer in this era, so he quickly stopped.

"Your Majesty, what's the pity?" The emperor's words made everyone nervous, and Chen Zeweng asked quickly.

"Oh, I remembered that I baked it on the spot after catching Shanghai food at the beach, but now I have no chance!" Zhao Bing's mind was quickly turned and immediately thought of an excuse to cover it up.

"Your Majesty, although this is not as fresh as it is now caught and roasted, it was just slaughtered this morning!" Chen Changshi also quickly explained.

"Okay, it tastes good!" Zhao Bing certainly couldn't let down his heart, so he picked up a piece of moxibustion quail jelly and gave it to his mouth and praised it.

"Your Majesty, try these again!" Seeing that the emperor was satisfied with the food, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Lishi also quickly delivered several other dishes.

"Your Majesty, this is a snail, ginger vinegar raw snails, fragrant snails fried belly, ginger vinegar fake public authority, stewed oysters, oyster fried belly, and pig belly fake Jiang Zhu!" There were few dishes in the palace. Wang De was worried that the emperor would show his fear and quickly introduced.

"Oh, these dishes were some of the dishes that Zhang Jun invited Emperor Gaozong back then?" Zhao Bing asked when he heard this.

"Go back to Your Majesty, that's right!" Wang De didn't expect the little emperor to tell the source and replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty, although these dishes were rare in the past, after the recipe was leaked, they could be cooked in all restaurants in central Beijing, which was not very precious!" Chen Changshi was shocked when the emperor could tell the source, worried that he would be blamed, so he quickly explained.

"Famousness, wealth and wealth are all passing by. When Zhang Jun held a banquet to entertain Emperor Gaozong, he tried his best to think that he would be ruined today, be cast into an iron statue, and kneeled in front of Yue Wumu's tomb." Zhao Bing sighed.

However, Zhao Bing also saw the Chen family's little thoughts from it. In modern times, these dishes are afraid that they will not understand the meaning, and they cannot understand the meaning. The ancients had the habit of calling their names directly for the special things. For example, glutinous rice was called "Wuxing" in the origin; "Yunmeng Fenger Meat Wax" directly called its place name "Yunmeng". The Wang Gongquan wine production was limited, and the Southern Song people imitated it and called "fake public power". This is the origin of the "fake public power" imitation of the Southern Song Dynasty. This is the medium-stood flavored soju wine with fruit flavor, which was already very common at this time.

Fried belly is a popular condiment in the early Southern Song Dynasty. The difference between fried belly and ginger is that "fried belly" is made of pickled and fermented sauce, while "fried belly" is cooked through fish belly and different condiments, with a very unique and novel taste. The "Jiang Yao fried belly", "scented snail fried belly" and "cockfried belly" in the imperial banquet list are all used for "fried belly" as condiments. Therefore, "fake public rights for ginger and vinegar" and "fake public rights for ginger and vinegar" are high-end condiments.

In addition, these dishes still have unknown connotations, reflecting two aspects of current food culture: First, the Southern Song Dynasty palace moved from Bianjing to Lin'an Prefecture, and the exchange and integration of food from the south and the north, made the Haihe food raw materials enter the banquet significantly; second, Jiang Yao, pineapple, fragrant snail, oyster, these ingredients show that the ingredients used in the kitchen are not on a whim.

"Using shape to replenish the body" and "Using the body to replenish the body" are an ancient Chinese medicine theory of diet therapy. This view was widely spread in the Tang Dynasty and had a great influence. The central thinking of "Using the body to replenish the body" is to use the five internal organs of animals to treat diseases of the corresponding organs of the human body. This is a very important law in traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy, commonly known as "replenish the body whatever you eat".

The chefs and emperors of the Song Dynasty and ordinary citizens believed that eating the belly of livestock can nourish the stomach, and having good stomach functions can enhance the reception function. These dishes can better achieve the function of nourishing the kidney and creating essence. These main ingredients are all things that nourish the kidney and create essence. They are obviously dishes, but in fact provide foods to nourish the kidney and create essence for indulgence.
