Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Li Guang both felt surprised when they heard the knock on the door.

Right now Li Guang stood up, and Li's wife had already gone towards the courtyard gate.

Li's wife opened the courtyard door and saw a group of people standing at their door. Many of this group of people wore black armor and were soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and Qin Hui and Zhao Ding were among them. In addition to them, there was a young man standing there. This young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a dragon robe with a faint smile on his face.

"See your majesty for civil women!" Li Qidang even recognized this person's identity! In today's Song Dynasty, after Zhao Gou's death, there is only one person left who can wear such clothes, and that is the Emperor Xuanwu who dominates the Song Dynasty!

Li's wife was shocked, she did not expect Zhao Chen to come to her home.

At this moment Li Guang had already seen Zhao Chen, Li Guang was also taken aback, hurriedly came forward, and then immediately fell to his knees.

"Weichen Li Guang, see your majesty!" Li Guang hurriedly said.

"Be flat." Zhao Chen said.

Li Guang and Li's wife stood up, Zhao Chen turned his gaze to Li Guang, and looked carefully. He discovered that although Li Guang's age was not young, close to sixty, Li Guang did not show much signs of old age. It seemed that he was like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Li Guang has also been secretly looking at Zhao Chen. In his opinion, Zhao Chen's spirit is far better than the former Song Huizong and Song Qinzong.

Zhao Chen's eyes were unusually firm and confident. It was the first time he saw a person with such firm and confident eyes.

"Your Majesty, please sit down!" Wife Li over there had already reacted. At this moment, Wife Li hurriedly moved a chair from the house and placed it in front of Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen didn’t sit down either. He just looked at Li Guang and said with a smile: “I came here this time mainly to ask Master Li to help me do things! Our Da Song has been split for almost six years. Over the past six years, it’s because of the split. People all over the world have also encountered a lot of suffering! Zhao Gou levied wildly in the south of the Yangtze River, and he used all the funds he obtained for the civil war, instead of fighting with Jurchen! The world is unified, everything is waiting for prosperity, and it is necessary for Master Li to do this. The outstanding people come to help me!"

Li Guang was stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Chen to speak so directly.

After thinking for a moment, Li Guang said, "Weichen wants to know your majesty's ambition?"

"My ambition is naturally to regain the Central Plains and to reinvigorate the Song Dynasty! After regaining the Central Plains, then to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun and conquer Liaodong! In addition, I must establish a fair system to make the elderly have a better life. Useful, young and strong, so that everyone in the world can live and work in peace and contentment, make the best use of goods, and do their best! I want my Han civilization to spread and be respected by all quarters, just like the prosperous Tang, even more than the prosperous Tang! "Zhao Chen said.

Li Guang lowered his head, but with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"What? Lord Li think there is something wrong?" Zhao Chen said.

"Recover the Central Plains and Zhongxing Song Dynasty, these majesty can still do it! As for the regaining of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and the conquering of Liaodong and other places, this majesty may not be able to do it! As for the following words, they are extremely ridiculous! The ancestors and Emperor Taizong, they dare not say such words! Your majesty thinks, can you beat Taizu and Taizong?" Li Guang questioned.

This time Zhao Chen was silent for a long time.

"I think I can surpass Taizu and Taizong!" Finally, Zhao Chen said.

"What!" Li Guang stayed there all of a sudden.

Qin Hui and Zhao Ding also stayed there.

All three felt that Zhao Chen was extremely arrogant.

Song Taizu and Song Taizong were the two founding emperors of the Song Dynasty. They have outstanding achievements and are admired by the world! No one dares to arrogantly say that he can surpass Taizu and Taizong! What's more, Zhao Chen is a descendant of Song Taizu and Song Taizong. As a descendant, how could he say such a thing? How can you say that you surpass your ancestors? This is totally inconsistent with the filial piety of the ancients!

Zhao Guang wanted to accuse Zhao Chen, thinking that Zhao Chen's words were blasphemy of his ancestors, and at this moment Zhao Chen spoke.

"Naturally, I will surpass Taizu and Taizong! I will make greater deeds than Taizu and Taizong, so that my Han civilization will once again be at the top of the world! Not only that, but I also hope that my descendants can surpass me! I hope we The Song Dynasty is stronger than one generation! Don’t dare to say surpassing our ancestors just because we are children and grandchildren! If we don’t dare to surpass our ancestors, if one generation is inferior to one generation, we are afraid that the Song is getting worse and worse. The Han people are only getting worse and worse! Like the almost subjugation of the country and species that they have faced over the years, they will still happen! All dynasties and dynasties, hundreds of years, a few decades, will eventually perish, one reason is the royal queen The generation of people is not as good as one generation, and the country is becoming more and more declining. I don’t want my Da Song to do the same. Today, when I say this, I hope that in the future, my children and grandchildren can say that they can surpass me without any scruples." At this moment, Zhao Chen said.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, Li Guang was speechless.

"Your Majesty is right! Only when one generation is better than one generation, can our Da Song become stronger and stronger, and the Han people can become stronger and stronger." Zhao Ding said after a long while.

"Yes, your majesty has the ambition to surpass Taizu and Taizong, and the ministers and others will naturally assist your majesty in accomplishing this ambition." Qin Hui had already spoken immediately at this moment.

Zhao Chen stood there, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes full of confidence.

Li Guang looked at Zhao Chen, and he suddenly felt that Zhao Chen was full of an unspeakable spirit.

This kind of courage is far better than Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and also better than Zhao Gou. In the past, it was impossible for Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, and Zhao Gou to say such things. They absolutely did not dare to say that they would surpass Taizu and Taizong. They believed in their hearts that they could not surpass Taizong Taizong.

Although only a few sentences, Li Guang already felt that Zhao Chen was very different from Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, Zhao Gou and others.

Li Guang originally worried that Zhao Chen was the grandson of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and worried that he was the same as the two emperors. Now it seems that he is fundamentally different.

"Now the Central Plains is still under the occupation of Jurchen, Jiangnan has just been regained, but it is not stable now. Many parts of the Central Plains are still suffering from disasters. National disasters are at the head of the country. Everyone is vying for the first place! Lord Li, I will ask you again. Help me?" Zhao Chen said again.

"Weichen is willing!" Li Guang finally said.

"Okay! That's great!" Zhao Chen was overjoyed.

He studied the official documents of Zhongshu Province these days and found that Zhao Ding, Qin Hui, and Li Guang were outstanding in the Jiangnan court. Zhao Ding is good at managing finances. Over the years, Zhao Gou has levied wildly, but Jiangnan is basically stable. This is mainly due to Zhao Ding. Qin Hui was experienced in handling political affairs, which made Zhao Gou's court always stable. As for Li Guang, he is good at employing people and has promoted a lot of talents. In addition, Li Guang has served as the official secretary for many times. He has many disciples and contacts, even surpassing Qin Hui and Zhao Ding.

At this moment, Li's wife moved a few more stools, and the guards helped to move a small table out, and Zhao Chen asked everyone to sit down.

"Li Aiqing, I am going to appoint you as Minister of Appeasement of Fujian and Guangdong, Xuanfu and other places, are you willing to go?" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen is willing to go! Several of Weichen's disciples are all holding official positions in Fujian and Guangdong, and they will also assist Weichen." Li Guangdao.

"Good! Zhao Aiqing, you serve as the Minister of Appeasement of Lianghuai Road and preside over the affairs of Lianghuai Road!" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen takes the command! However, your Majesty, there are many bandits in Lianghuai Road, and you must first eliminate these bandits." Zhao Dingdao.

"This is simple. After the Dongting Lake banditry is eliminated, I will order Wu Jie to lead an army northward to eliminate the Lianghuai banditry." Zhao Chen said.

In recent years, the world has been in chaos. In addition to the rebels, there are countless bandits. Of course, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between the rebels and the bandits. The more famous bandits in the Lianghuai area are Li Cheng, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and others. In history, these bandits were wiped out by Yue Fei. However, in this era, Yue Fei is no longer in the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally there is no pacification of bandits. The banditry in Lianghuai is still very serious.

"Because of the seriousness of banditry, the people in Lianghuai have suffered a lot! When Emperor Jianyan was in power, I persuaded Emperor Jianyan to suppress the bandits, but Emperor Jianyan only wanted to kill you, and turned a blind eye to those bandits, hey! I hope that your Majesty can eliminate those bandits as soon as possible." Zhao Chen sighed softly, said.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he looked at Qin Hui again and said: "Qin Aiqing, you are the Minister of Appeasement of Henan, responsible for propagating Kaifeng, Shangqiu and other places in Henan."

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens invaded, and the population of Henan and other places was declining. There may not be many people within a hundred miles now! The ministers have arrived in Henan, I am afraid it will be difficult to restore Henan to the original scene." Qin Hui said.

"Although the population of Henan is declining, a lot of land is free! After you arrive in Henan, you are responsible for checking the land! These free land will belong to the state in the future! When the Jurchens in Henan are completely eliminated, I will find a way to remove those lands. Separate out." Zhao Chen said.

"Distribute? Is it the division of heroes?" Qin Hui said in a daze.

"No, it is distributed to ordinary people! I have an idea in my heart. We can encourage people from Jiangnan, Sichuan and Sichuan to go to Henan and Central Plains! Those unowned land, as long as someone is willing to cultivate, five or ten years later All belong to the family! If someone in their family has joined the army, they only need to sow for two or three years, and the land belongs to them! In this way, a large number of people will inevitably go to all parts of the Central Plains, and the population of all parts of the Central Plains will be able to recover quickly. "Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it is a pity that a lot of land is allocated to the people." Qin Hui hesitated for a moment, said.

"It's a pity that everything is left unused, regardless of the people." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, those land can be owned by the royal family and leased to the people." Qin Hui said.

"What does the royal family want so much land for? As an emperor, everything in the world belongs to me, do you want to **** land with the people?" Zhao Chen said lightly.

Qin Hui nodded now.

"Your Majesty, who will manage the Jiangnan Land?" Zhao Ding said.

"In a little while, Li Gang will come to Jiangnan! He is my teacher and the prime minister appointed by me! Over the years, I have fought with Jurchen in the front, and the political and civil affairs of Hanzhong and Chuanshu will be handed over to him. The handling is well organized, and now Hanzhong and Chuanshu are far better than before! I believe he can also handle Jiangnan's affairs well! Of course, I will also be in Jiangnan for a period of time. I will not leave here until the situation in Jiangnan is completely stable. "Zhao Chen said.

"When the two supreme emperors were reigning, Lord Li Gang and Li was already well-known in the world, far better than me! If he comes to Jiangnan, he will definitely be able to handle Jiangnan's affairs! Your Majesty, at that time, will we have to do it too? Follow Master Li's orders?" At this moment, Li Guang said.

"No need for this! You are all under the command of the Military Aircraft Department! Important matters in Fujian, Guangdong, Lianghuai, and Henan must be reported to the Military Aircraft Department! I will personally handle the matters you report!" Zhao Chen said.

Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Qin Hui, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang were all slightly shocked. They had heard of the Military Aircraft Department a long time ago. They knew that the Military Aircraft Department had great powers, and almost took the Prime Minister and the Privy Envoy to the sky. If the Prime Minister and the Privy Council were not the Minister of Military Aircraft, they would have little power. Now it seems to be the case. The military ministers have no rank, and there is no affiliation with each other. Everything is appointed by the emperor, and the emperor can revoke it at any time. It can be said that the military department is completely under the control of the emperor.

With this military office, no one can control the will of the emperor, and the emperor can do real arbitrariness.

At this moment, the three people felt the huge difference between Zhao Chen's court and Zhao Gou's court. Not only was the emperor different, but the system was also very different.
