Chapter 517: Disgusted with the Qin and Han dynasties and admires the Jin and Song dynasties
"Sometimes, I am not afraid of being skeptical, but what I fear most is that I do not believe at all. As long as the Song Dynasty is skeptical, it means that the Song Dynasty is moved, and then everything is still discussed." Liang Guangchuan said. "But what if the Song Dynasty asked to hand over Lingzhou City first?" Liang Yi asked.
This is not about using money to redeem people. You can’t do anything to pay money and hand over others.
Either the Song Dynasty will hand over the people first, or they will give Lingzhou City to the Song Dynasty first.
But the Song Dynasty would be worried that the Liang family would not agree after they handed over the man.
On the contrary, the Liang family was also worried about giving Lingzhou City to the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty did not give in to others.
The most important thing is that this kind of thing cannot be promoted at all, because it is impossible for the Dangxiang nobles of Xixia to agree to it.
They themselves don't want Queen Liang to come back, let alone exchange Lingzhou City.
Lingzhou City was important to the Song Dynasty, but not to the Western Xia.
After the Western Xia captured Lingzhou City, it has been managing the Western Regions.
However, the Western Regions are very complicated and not so easy to manage.
Although the Han Dynasty established the Western Regions Protectorate, it existed for many years later.
But in fact, the countries in the Western Regions did not have a long time to be honest and often turmoil occurred.
The area of the Western Regions is not small. In terms of area alone, it is more than two-thirds of that of the Song Dynasty today.
However, the land in the Western Regions is barren and most of them are deserts. It is not cost-effective to send too many troops, and it is impossible to guard it if there is less.
But for the Western Xia, the Western Regions cannot be said to be useless.
Because the Western Xia can make money through trade in the Western Regions.
Therefore, the Dangxiang nobles of the Western Xia Dynasty could not agree to such conditions.
It was difficult for the Song Dynasty to agree to let the Song Dynasty make a move first.
"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty would not agree, but the ministers of the Song Dynasty would do it. I understand the Han people. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun occupied by the Liao Kingdom were originally Han territory. But these places were not lost by the Song Dynasty, so in the eyes of those officials of the Song Dynasty, they actually didn't care whether they could be taken back. But Lingzhou City was different. It was taken away by the Western Xia from the Song Dynasty, but they could be recovered without any effort. They would not let it go." Liang Guangchuan said confidently: "As long as the ministers of the Song Dynasty were all moved, they would persuade the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to agree." "What's more, the Western Xia is now retreating step by step, and Hehuang annexing of the Western Xia is not what the Song Dynasty wants to see." "What if the Song Dynasty made this matter public?" Liang Yimian said worriedly.
He is not the kind of playboy who is really useless.
If the Song Dynasty revealed the news, the Liang family would be finished. "No." Liang Guangchuan shook his head and said, "This will only make Xixia even more chaotic. If Hehuang is cheaper, it will not be of any benefit to the Song Dynasty." "Then let's go." Liang Yimeng said. "Don't worry, I will find a way to persuade those in the court to use Lingzhou City to replace people. If the Song Dynasty doesn't give up, there will still be a chance."
Although Liang Guangchuan was confident that according to his original arrangement, the Song Dynasty would agree.
But he still made two preparations. As long as the nobles of Dangxiang agreed to this matter, it would be even more convincing.
As for whether people will really hand over Lingzhou City to the Song Dynasty when they come back, that is what happened later.
Performing Dangxiang tribes to agree is just a statement.
"Did my father be sure to convince those people?" Liang Yimai said in surprise.
"They each guard themselves and are not united at all. It is difficult for a single Hehuang to resist. Now they need someone who can make the decision." Liang Guangchuan sneered.
The nobles of Dangxiang naturally did not want Queen Liang to come back, but neither of them obeyed each other.
It's okay if there is no external pressure, everyone can continue to fight and finally decide the winner.
But now facing the attack from Hehuang, he has retreated step by step. Each is guarding against each other and having ulterior motives.
As long as they don’t want to be destroyed by Hehuang, they must have a backbone.
No one will agree to choose from them.
In this way, Queen Liang's role is reflected.
Of course, those people are not so easy to agree.
They were also worried that Queen Liang would come back and take control of the power slowly and attack them at that time.
If you want to convince them, the Liang family must guarantee that they will not hold any position in the court.
Only in this way can those Dangxiang nobles reassure. "But if this is the case, it will be difficult for my sister to take control of the power when she comes back, and the Liang family cannot serve in the court. So why do we have so much effort to do?" Liang Yima frowned. "Do you think our Liang family can treat your sister as a puppet if they don't serve in the court?" Liang Guangchuan sneered: "If all the civil and military officials in the court are united, the emperor can abolish them. But how many times have this happened since ancient times? Dangxiang aristocratic fights, and once someone loses power and wants to keep his wealth, they will naturally fall to your sister." "As long as your sister can come back, it will be a matter of time before she takes control of the power."
"But my sister is not very close to the Liang family. If she really wants to take control of the Liang family, will she still use the Liang family?" Liang Yima frowned.
Originally, if Empress Liang wants to take control, she needs the help of the Liang family.
But once the Liang family guaranteed not to hold a position in the court, Queen Liang also took control of the power.
The Liang family has no effect on Queen Liang.
"Silly!"
Liang Guangchuan said coldly: "Wu Zetian was bullied in the Wu family. After she gained power, she dealt with the Wu family a lot. But when she became the emperor, she also valued the Wu family. Do you think she doesn't hate the Wu family anymore? Since ancient times, the relatives and eunuchs in the royal family always use one." "Father is wise, the boy understands!" Liang Yimang saw his father angry and bowed quickly. "I know that you have some opinions about your sister, but our family still needs her. You must understand the importance of the matter." Liang Guangchuan said lightly.

Bianjing
Zhao Xing did not know what the Liang family father and son planned, and he was furious at the morning court.
At the beginning of the morning court today, many civil and military officials from all over the court stood up to impeach the Imperial City Division, Yin Hanzhang and some commanders of the Imperial City Division.
As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Inside the Imperial City Department, it is impossible that there is no problem at all.
Not to mention that no one is perfect, if you really want to pick the bones in your eggs, you can find some problems.
Among these officials, the commanders of Yin Hanzhang and the Imperial City Department were almost unforgivable.
Zhao Xing ignored those impeached pills yesterday. These people did not give up. Zhao Xing naturally could not give them a good face. "You impeach the Imperial City Department, don't think I don't know." Zhao Xing's eyes patrolled everyone.
Faced with Zhao Xing's gaze, everyone lowered their heads.
"Whether there is any problem with the people in the Imperial City Department, the Nanhuangcheng Department will naturally investigate. Now it is about private casting of copper coins!" Zhao Xing said coldly: "I have summoned the heads of various departments before and told you that I would cast new copper coins and then take back the old coins. I don't believe that no one will spread this matter. If someone says there is no, I will ask someone to check it!"
Faced with Zhao Xing's words, everyone was silent.
How could they not have spread this?
Although this matter was only spread among officials, those who knew the news kept their mouths tight and did not spread it out, they could not withstand the investigation.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Zhao Xing's face became even colder. "I tell you that I just want some people to stop. What's the result?"
Zhao Xing looked at everyone with murderous intent and sneered: "As a result, they not only did not restrain themselves, but instead made more copper coins!"
The minted counterfeit coins were already available before the Tang Dynasty, and the most famous one was Dong Zhuo.
At that time, there was a lack of money and a large amount of Wuzhu coins were minted.
After the founding of the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, he also knew that there were too many people involved.
Even if they were not involved, they more or less gained some benefits from it.
Zhao Xing informed the heads of each department in advance, and actually wanted to tell some people through their mouths.
Simply put, Zhao Xing wanted to let go of a batch and solve the problem.
It's not that Zhao Xing is kind, but to differentiate them and reduce resistance.
The batch that was spared will not be cleaned up for the time being, and will be cleaned up slowly in the future.
But the result is.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
The minting of counterfeit coins has not only not decreased, but has increased.
If the court wants to recover the old coins, it must recycle all the counterfeit coins as real coins.
Otherwise, there will be big problems.
After all, ordinary people don’t have much money, and the savings they had finally saved became fake. How could they be willing?
Just like Zhao Xing wanted to collect the land of the world as state-owned and then distribute it to the people of the world.
This incident is obviously beneficial to the people of the world, but as long as he dares to raise it, it will probably immediately stir up civil unrest.
Except those who have no fields themselves, no one who has some fields in their hands can agree.
Because the fields in their hands are theirs, they can deal with them at will.
But it was taken back by the court. Even if the court distributed more land to them, they only had the right to rent the seeds and had no ownership rights.
In the eyes of the people, the rented one is not yours.
What if the court takes it back one day?
Not to mention, taking back the coins and not having the counterfeit coins will be of no benefit to the people.
Those people minted counterfeit coins before, and did not dare to go too far, for fear of attracting the attention of the court.
Now they learned that Zhao Xing was going to recycle old coins from the people, they had no worries at all.
Zhao Xing clearly gave them a chance, but people's greed will never be enough, so Zhao Xing did not intend to show mercy this time.
"Why don't you talk?"
Zhao Xing sarcastically said: "Whoever talks to those people next will be punished as accomplices!"
After saying that, Zhao Xing got up and left with his sleeves.
It was not until the eunuch reminded that the officials came to their senses and said unevenly: "Give me a far cry from Your Majesty!"
After Zhao Xing's footsteps were gone, the officials stood up and left the hall with a serious expression.
"My grace..."
Yu Wei was about to speak, but Guardian Li gave him a look and immediately stopped.
Until he left the palace, Prince Li invited Yu Wei to take the ride with him.
After the carriage moved, Mr. Li said, "What did you want to say just now?"
"Your Majesty seems to be serious this time and will not show mercy." Yu Wei said worriedly. "Your Majesty will not show mercy this time, but you don't have to worry. Since you didn't touch you yesterday, you won't touch you anymore. Your Majesty also needs to consider the stability of the world." Mr. Li said lightly. "My kindness, the students did not participate." Yu Wei said hurriedly.
Mr. Li glanced at him and said, "Since you didn't participate, what are you afraid of?"
Yu Wei said with awkward expression: "Students heard that the Imperial City Department is still investigating the wizard teachings. Your Majesty uses such iron-blooded means this time. What if it is found out..."
"Are you scared?" Mr. Li said lightly.
Yu Wei cursed in his heart, how could he not be afraid?
Once what they did was found out, it would be a death sentence.
The official is merciless about minting counterfeit coins. If he finds out anything, he will undoubtedly die. "Don't worry, Your Majesty's tough attitude this time is not a bad thing!" Mr. Li smiled.
Although he was also a little worried, he couldn't show it.
On the contrary, you have to look light and calm.
Otherwise, he will be in chaos, wouldn't Yu Wei be even more scared?
Who knows if Yu Wei will be exposed because of fear. "It's not a bad thing?" Yu Wei was stunned and said in surprise: "Why do you think so?"
"Your Majesty dealt with so many officials after he ascended the throne, and the court officials did not object fiercely. The Supreme Emperor implemented the new policy, but it soon failed. Do you know why?" asked Mr. Li. "Didn't the new policy stop because of too many disadvantages?" Yu Wei said. "That's just the surface."
Prince Li shook his head slightly and said, "The new policy must have some problems at the beginning, and it cannot be perfect. It can be adjusted slowly and not stopped directly."
"The reason for being stopped is because the resistance to opposition between the court and China is too great. However, after the officials succeeded to the throne, is there no resistance to what they did?"
"There are the same, and it is not small. But now the officials have been promoted, and even the execution of officials can be implemented."
"What is that?" Yu Wei said in confusion.
"There are essential differences between the two things."
Prince Li said lightly: "The Supreme Emperor has implemented the new policy. All the officials of the Song Dynasty, both the civil officials and military generals, have been affected. In order to protect their interests from harm, most of them are opposed except for a few people. Even some people who seem to support the new policy are undermining the implementation of the new policy."
"But what the officials are doing today is different. He only targets a few people. When the others see that they are not affected, they are almost all watching on the wall. Although there is resistance, they are not as great as imagined."
"What kind of mercy means is that this matter will make all the officials in the hall feel threatened? But if this is the case, no one will speak after the emperor of the morning court just got angry?" Yu Wei asked. "Because Your Majesty personally led the expedition, he won a great victory in the north and regained the Youzhou City that Emperor Taizong had never captured back then. With this general trend, and with Your Majesty's prejudice this time, no one dared to object!" said Mr. Li.
"Since that's the case, why did you say it's not a bad thing?" Yu Wei said inexplicably.
"Although Your Majesty's personal victory has won a great victory, he has failed to completely recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and his role is limited."
"But this incident will make the civil and military officials alert. The government is too strong, and it will be of no benefit to the country and the people. Maybe it will be like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. Therefore, no matter what Your Majesty wants to do, the civil and military officials will come out to stop it." Gun Li said lightly.
Although his words were to comfort Yu Wei, they were also the truth.
As a minister, no one likes an emperor who is too strong.
In the eyes of ministers, a wise ruler should be the kind of friend of a child.
Don’t look at the fact that later generations kept shaking their heads when they mentioned Jin and Song.
But if we can conduct a survey that spans the ages, most literati will definitely yearn for Jin and Song.
Because the status and power of civil servants of Jin and Song almost reached their peak.
