One Piece of Song Dynasty

All the court officials who arrived in Yanjing in the next few days were busy arranging their residences. The residences of the Jurchen nobles in Yanjing City were originally allocated to these officials by Li Xin. Of course, these officials paid the money, and these houses were It is equivalent to what these officials paid for it.

Five days later, on November , Li Xin summoned for the first time Zhao Ding, the servant of the left servant of the minister, Li Guang, the political counselor, Zhang Jun, the imperial censor, Wang Shu, the minister of the Ministry of War, Ye Mengde, the minister of the Ministry of Finance, Zhao Liangsi, the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, More than a dozen major ministers including Pan Lianggui, the Minister of Rites, and Wei Liangchen, the new Minister of Land Management. The former Minister of Land Management, Li Gang, died of illness during the Northern Expedition. For Li Gang's achievements, Li Xin presented Li Gang with the posthumous title "Founding Duke of Longxi County". Loyalty".

At this secret court meeting with only a dozen people, Li Xin took out the most important imperial edict obtained from Zhao Gou and said: "This is the imperial edict given to me by the emperor, you all should take a look. "

After hearing this, Zhao Ding, who was calm on the surface, was shocked in his heart: After waiting for so long, he finally came.

Although all the ministers were shocked after reading this, they were still calm on the surface. They were more or less aware of Li Xin's ascension to the throne and the recovery of Yanyun, which was expected.

Zhao Liangsi, Li Xin's veteran minister from Yuan Cong, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the Central Plains has undergone great changes in the past ten years. Our country has just recovered the Central Plains and Yanyun, and everything is waiting for improvement. However, what has not changed is that the threats from the surrounding alien races are still there. The troops of the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Xia are still there, and if our country cannot work together, disaster will strike again sooner or later. Therefore, Your Majesty’s ascension to the throne is highly anticipated, and I ask Your Majesty not to refuse.”

With Zhao Liangsi's starting point, other ministers also spoke in agreement.

"This world is a heavy burden that no one can bear. Why don't I want to leisurely enjoy fishing in the mountains and fields? However, it is difficult to refuse the entrustment of all the people in the world and the ancestors of the past generations. Thinking of these, I Wang really can’t sleep at night.”

Li Xin sighed, with a sad look on his face.

"To be honest, my ancestor is the son of the former great ancestor Li Yuan, the younger brother of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the uncle of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and the same is true for Teng Wang Li Yuanying."

"Hundreds of years of history in the Tang Dynasty were destroyed by the two thieves Huang and Zhu. Many nights, my pillow was wet with tears, and I often sighed at Yi and Xi. Heaven will never end the Tang Dynasty. God has blessed me, so I can only see the greatness indistinctly. On the day of the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, the king decided to change the name of the country to the Tang Dynasty and make Yanjing the capital from the day when the king ascended the throne."

After saying these words, Li Xin just wanted to express two things. First, he is destined by destiny. Don't have any burdens and just serve me to your heart's content.

The second one emphasizes the first one. I am a descendant of the Tang Dynasty. This world was my family hundreds of years ago. Now it is just taken back. The restoration of the Tang Dynasty is not far away. You must work hard.

Li Xin found Li Yuanying, the ancestor of Teng Wang, after careful consideration. It was not as suitable to rely on other Li Tang clans as Li Yuanying, because other Li Tang clans were often persecuted by Wu Zetian, and Li Yuanying was still living well when Wu Zetian was in power. Yes, and Li Yuanying went to many places and left behind more than a dozen sons, so even if someone wanted to check, they would not be able to find a clue. After all, hundreds of years have passed, and through the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Li Tang The clans have long been scattered to various places, and some may have disappeared after the war.

"I will work for you and fight for the revival of the Tang Dynasty. We will go through fire and water without hesitation." Zhao Ding, as the chief assistant, took the lead and said.

None of the people here are fools. Li Xin has clearly understood this. They are also willing to cooperate, re-establish the Tang Dynasty as a sign, and focus on the great cause of rebellion. Besides, they all know the consequences of not cooperating.

Looking at these people, they are all considered to be his confidants, their abilities are unparalleled, their loyalty is evident, and the revival of the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner.

"Never forget the power of your ministers"

Li Xin said with a moved face.

After the court meeting, Zhang Jun left the palace and sighed: "Yuan Zhen, the sky of the Song Dynasty has finally changed."

Zhao Ding asked: "Why, what does Deyuan want to say?"

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect to come back to the Tang Dynasty after hundreds of years."

Zhao Ding said: "Deyuan, let's go and have a drink at my house."

Zhang Jun nodded and said: "Okay, let's go, it's been a long time since I drank with you."

When they arrived at Zhao Ding's new home, they prepared wine and food, and the two quickly started eating and drinking.

Zhao Ding drank a glass of wine and asked: "Deyuan, what do you think of the prince and the Zhao family?"

Zhang Jun replied: "Yuan Zhen, to be honest, I am conflicted. We have been eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor since elementary school. But we have all seen what the Song Dynasty was like when the prince took over. We all know what it looks like. Over the years, we have also seen with our own eyes how the prince brought the Song Dynasty to revival and how he embarked on the Northern Expedition. In fact, nine years ago, when you told me that the prince was going to make the Northern Expedition, at that time my In fact, I don’t really believe it in my heart.”

Zhao Ding nodded and said: "Yeah, what was the situation in the Song Dynasty at that time? Only half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River was left, and even this half of the country was in constant turmoil. It was really a problem of internal and external troubles. Not to mention the Northern Expedition at that time, it would be good to keep half of the country. ”

Zhang Jun said: "Not only that, at that time our army faced the Jin Army and lost consecutive battles, and had not won a single victory in several years. Look now, our army can not only defeat the Jin Army, but also push it all the way to Yanyun. No matter Say a few years ago, say a few months ago, do you dare to believe this?"

Zhao Ding shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. When we first started the Northern Expedition, I really didn't believe it would be the result it is now."

Zhang Jun drank a glass of wine and said, "So, now if I have to choose between the prince and the Zhao family, I will definitely choose the prince, but I feel a little sorry for the Zhao family."

While Zhao Ding was drinking and chatting with Zhang Jun, Li Xin was also talking to Li Guang.

Li Xin said: "Prime Minister Li, I have something to ask of you."

Li Guangzuo bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Li Xin stood up and walked around: "Prime Minister Li, I know that you are the eldest grandson of Tang Ruizong Li Dan and a descendant of Ruyang King Li Jing. I and you can be considered relatives. The restoration of the Tang Dynasty means a lot to our Li family. What are you thinking about? I think Prime Minister Li should know very well. After I ascend the throne, I don’t know whether Prime Minister Li will have a candidate for the position of chief minister of the sect."

In fact, after Li Xin ascended the throne, he could completely ignore the other Li Tang clans, but after all, Li Xin reestablished the Tang Dynasty in the name of Li Yuanying's descendants. If he ignored the other Li Tang clans, they would feel cold, and they would also have someone who treated their clan members harshly. Reputation, you know, there are a lot of Lis in the world, which is also a big help.
