Chapter 245 Returning to Beijing to Prompt
This kind of teacher is worthy of being a famous general, with accurate judgment, decisive actions, and good decision-making ability and execution ability!

"Brother Zhong!" Zhao Sidao, "please allow me to call you that! You have always been one of the generals I admire the most, and what you said makes sense! How about this, I will leave the matter of guarding the border to you for the time being, and I will return to Beijing Once, I don’t want to go back on this matter, I guess many things come and go and the news can’t be settled after several times, after all, I am familiar with firearms... I will definitely ask the Holy One to come up with a complete plan at that time Otherwise, the newly established Kingdom of Jin is full of vigor, and now it has the weapon of gunpowder, which is like adding wings to a tiger. If it is not good for our Great Song Dynasty, our preparations are not sufficient at present, and disaster will surely be imminent!"

"Okay! Don't worry! Marshal! There will be nothing wrong with the border now. Not only are we not ready, Jinliao Xixia is not ready yet, and the battle will not start for the time being! Secondly, even if there is something Unexpectedly, as long as the last general is here, it is guaranteed that even a rabbit will not be able to enter Yanmen Pass!"

"That's it, brother Zhong, please!"

Although they were beating drums to gather generals, before all the generals gathered, the two had basically already made a major decision!
Next, Zhao Si and Zhongshi concealed part of the news from the generals. They only said that there was an urgent military situation, and that Marshal Zhao needed to return to Beijing, and that Marshal Zhong would take over for the time being, and explained the relevant matters!And separately called several senior backbones of Lin Chong and Liangshan forces who are shooting the Sirius army, and explained to them, let them be optimistic about the team shooting Sirius, and not let the Zhongjia army swallow it up!
Of course, Zhao Si also understands that now the soul of Shooting Sirius has become Zhao Si's, and if others want to swallow it, they must give each one a new heart, otherwise it will be impossible!However, for such capable people among the seed teachers, we have to guard against...

Zhao Si didn't know how to write official documents, so he asked Zhong Shizhong to write a secret memorial for himself, and sent it back in a hurry with [-] Li, and said something about it, and then he set off, bringing the second general Heng Ha and the guards, Riding fast all the way to Bianjing!

Of course, he had to stop twenty miles away from the capital and wait for the emperor to agree to his imperial decree to return to the capital, otherwise he would be suspected of leaving his post without authorization or treason!In fact, the eight hundred li rush was much faster than their walking, and the emperor's decree was received fifty miles away from the capital!The imperial decree of the emperor is also very concise, only "return to Beijing quickly"!Four characters!

Zhao Si didn't even have time to change the court clothes, and was called into the palace directly wearing armor.Of course, such a highly confidential meeting cannot be discussed at the Great Court Meeting. This is a highly confidential military meeting that can only be known by a small number of important ministers!This kind of matter is a matter of the Privy Council, and Tong Guanding is the first to participate.The Privy Council is the highest body of the Prime Minister's national military affairs, referred to as "Privy Council".In the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council and Zhongshu sect jointly held the power of literature and military affairs, and they were called the "two mansions" of the East and the West.Since Song Taizu was ordered, the prime minister was in charge of literary affairs, and was assisted in political affairs, and the privy envoy was in charge of military affairs, and the deputy envoy assisted him.The Privy Envoy is the Chief of the Privy Council, or known as Privy Council Affairs, and the Deputy Chief is called Privy Council Deputy Envoy or Tongzhi Privy Council Affairs, who signs the Privy Council Affairs or co-signs Privy Council Affairs.There are Du Chengzhi and Deputy Du Chengzhi under it, who are responsible for "accepting orders and leading the affairs of the court", and they are held by military officers.There is also an editorial officer, which is not fixed.The Privy Council "holds military registration and tiger talisman", and if approved by the emperor, it has the right to mobilize troops and horses.The status of the privy envoy is slightly lower than that of the prime minister, and they are collectively referred to as "consuls" together with Shenzhi Zhengshi, Menxia Shilang, Zhongshu Shilang, and Shangshu Zuocheng.The reason why the privy envoys in the Song Dynasty raised their status so high and had so much power was related to the political situation at home and abroad at that time.From the founding of the country to the subjugation of the Song Dynasty, there were always internal and external troubles. From Wang Xiaobo at the beginning to Song Jiang, Fang La, etc. later, these were thieves who could steal the country.At the border, there are also a few Liao, Xixia, Jin and other minorities, forming an urgent situation of border defense.Internal and external troubles made the Song Dynasty need a fairly large army to resist the invasion of the Hulu and suppress bandits. Therefore, a strong organization was needed to manage this army. This is why the Song Dynasty established the Privy Council.At the same time, the establishment of privy envoys can weaken the power of the prime minister, and it is also an important measure to strengthen the imperial power.Therefore, Tong Guan's power is actually very great. This meeting was probably at his request, and even high-ranking officials like Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, and Wang Fu were not called to participate!Only Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and Zhao Si participated!

Zhao Si came to the side hall, this place is called "Wuying Hall". In the empty main hall, the emperor sat upright, and Tong Guan and Gao Qi stood separately under his highness.Seeing just two or three people, Zhao Si couldn't help being a little surprised. After kneeling down and praying to the mountain, Zhao Si stood up and even subconsciously looked around, thinking that the emperor's sense of secrecy had suddenly increased!

"Ying Xing! There is no one else. This matter involves state secrets. The fewer people who know about it, the better! Now there are fewer and fewer people in this court that I can trust! There is no food to eat for half a year. If it weren’t for your great ingenuity and ability to quickly find food for the soldiers, ordinary people lead soldiers, and the army’s morale would have been disturbed and mutiny! Damn it! On this point, I am responsible for negligence!..." Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji came up and apologized, and then changed the subject, saying: "Now there are a group of people who are eating my salary, and it is not enough. They Insatiable greed, I treat my military and state affairs as a trifle, as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits, as a tool to suppress people. Recently, I have slowly woken up from my obsession with those exquisite gadgets. I feel that if this continues, the foundation of my ancestors will be lost. It's in my hands..."

Zhao Si was very surprised by these words. He heard Gao Qiu say that since the emperor listened to the master's lecture, he gradually withdrew from playing with things such as calligraphy, painting, cuju, and began to govern the country... Zhao Si thought it was just Gao Qiu It's a flattering style that is easy to say, but I didn't expect it to be true!

"My emperor is wise and mighty, and he can see the end of the matter, so he won't be deceived by traitors..." Of course, Zhao Si couldn't let the emperor say that and remain indifferent, at least he sent one or two horses to show it!

"Hehe, Aiqing, don't say these stereotypes anymore. In fact, I have been deceived for too long! Regardless, it's not too late to make up for it. Fortunately, there are Tong Aiqing, Gao Aiqing and you, Ying Xing Aiqing, who are loyal to the country. …”

Your sister, did you make a mistake, are Tong Guan and Gao Qiu so loyal to the country?Isn't this trying to subvert Lao Tzu's view of history?Zhao Sixin said, do you want to be so funny...

However, having said that, ever since I got in touch with Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, I really didn't find anything wrong with Zhao Ji about these two. Of course, they are greedy for money. All the officials in the Song Dynasty are virtuous...
