Chapter 292 Change the world

I don't know how many banquets have been held in the Tokyo Imperial Palace. But this time today, the significance is extraordinary. A few people who know a little about the inside story are guessing in their hearts that Luoyang Wang Chu Tianya has joined the court as a master, then a set of civil and martial arts classes will definitely be reorganized in the court, and most of the important institutions will be replaced by his subordinates or confidants.

When Emperor Zhao Ji crossed the south, there were also many civil and military ministers who fled together. They obviously expected this floor and didn't want to be cleaned and eliminated after Chu Tianya entered the main court. So he followed his old master Zhao Ji with a trace of luck, and fantasized that he could continue to be reused in Hangzhou and enjoy their original glory and wealth.

The official governance of the Song Dynasty is quite complex, and the bureaucratic system is extremely perfect, which is not as good as modern officialdom. Although Zhao Huan, an official, was still sitting on the dragon chair, everyone knew that it was time for the court of the Song Dynasty to change the dynasty.

The Zhongshumen, which is in charge of the highest literary and military power, and the Privy Council (collectively known as the Second Mansions), Chu Tianya in such places will certainly not let "outsiders" get involved. Chu Tianya, the king of Luoyang, was worshipped as a master, who was naturally the highest officer under the Chinese calligraphy, that is, the "prime minister".

Before Chu Tianya entered Beijing, Xu Han, his confidant who was dedicated to supporting him, had already entered the middle school and had been cleaned there. Many stubborn masters and families were destroyed or demoted, and most of the remaining small characters fled to Hangzhou with the emperor Zhao Ji.

Chu Tianya, the imperial master, stepped into the lower province of the middle school, and he was full of stars - surrounded by people who were loyal and political opinions. Most of this credit belongs to Xu Han.

A coup at that time not only made Xu Han, but also Zong Ze. This old Confucian general has been in charge of the Privy Council and worshipped as a Privy Council.

Chu Tianya Shenlong has not seen the end. He has not officially dealt with a state affairs of the Song Dynasty, and has firmly controlled the highest civil and military institution of the Song Dynasty. With the solid foundation of the "Second House", it is not difficult to expand its strength and authority.

Before the banquet began, Zhao Huan, an official, personally held out a thick edict. The content of the imperial edict is to reward the meritorious officials of the Battle of Tokyo.

To put it bluntly, it was officially announced that the court of the Song Dynasty changed the day at this moment.

In the center of the court, in addition to the second mansion, the third office and the third division are the most important.

The three offices refer to the front department of the palace, the bodyguard horse army department and the bodyguard army infantry department, which are the three major institutions that actually command the soldiers and horses. All the soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty belong to the command of the three government offices. The Privy Council only has the power to send troops, while the three government only has the power totong troops. The two restrict each other and separate powers. For a long time, the officials of the Song Dynasty have firmly held the Privy Council, and then the Privy Council commanded the three government, and the three government officials controlled the world's soldiers and horses.

This is very conducive to the concentration of imperial power and military power, which is a good thing for officials. However, when it comes to actual combat, there are many drawbacks. There are often "outsiders commanding insiders". Before the war began, the Song Dynasty was defeated in the court and the Privy Council.

As soon as Chu Tianya stepped into Tokyo and had not yet entered his Taishi Mansion, he first asked Zong Ze's "Personnel of the Privy Council". It's not enough to say it casually - his attitude is very clear. He doesn't want to repeat the past defeats of the Song Dynasty. He must go from the court to the Privy Council, and then to the three government office to every one in the army. One corner, implement your own power!

Zong Ze is the secret envoy, and his position is naturally very critical. Therefore, Chu Tianya expressed his attitude in front of Zong Ze as soon as he opened the scene.

Zong Ze has been very aware of it for a long time. In the "rewarding list" that officials are going to read out today, more than half of the candidates for the Privy Council and the Sanya are all from Zong Ze's ideas. So at that time, he said to Chu Tianya to reassure him.

When the list was read out, Chu Tianya was really comfortable.

The three ya, several commanders in important positions, were all changed into Chu Tianya's people, such as Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu and other leaders. The Privy Council also added young and fresh blood. Bai Xu, a scholar, became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, second only to Zong Ze; Liu Ziyu and Yue Fei also entered the Privy Council, and also They have all been appointed to become the marshal of the army.

Most of Cao Cheng's volunteer leaders were assigned to other states to serve as regimental training envoys and soldiers and horses envoys. This practice made Chu Tianya very happy: First, Cao Cheng and others's wish was to get an official and a half-ranking Guangzong Yaozu. Their wish was realized, and Chu Tianya's promise was also fulfilled. Second, they had confidants and soldiers and horses. Although they were temporarily handed over to Chu Tianya, their influence was still there.

Originally, Cao Cheng was still thinking about looking for a "Beijing official" to do it. He even mentioned this meaning to Chu Tianya. But Chu Tianya did not agree directly, but just said, "This kind of thing is going to be decided after all" - Chu Tianya is not stupid. Will he be willing to leave Cao Cheng in Tokyo and bury an unstable time bomb for himself? In case he is unhappy one day, it is not impossible to call the old department to fight back.

Now it's okay. Cao Cheng and others all served as foreign officers, but the soldiers and horses stayed in the hands of Chu Tianya and had no chance to contact them from then on. Chu Tianya would not naively think that Cao Cheng and other generations - this group of murderers will really be loyal to him.

The third division is the core department in charge of the economic lifeline such as the financial salt and iron of the Song Dynasty, farmland water conservancy, etc. It is extraordinary. It is even more important than the second government and the third government. In the appointment of the "three envoys", Chu Tianya, Xu Han and Zong Ze took a lot of effort. First of all, this person must be competent; secondly, he must be his own person. Looking all over, it is really difficult to pick out such a person in Chu Tianya's camp for a while. In the end, the three had to make a stopgap-down plan - since Chu Tianya served as the master and could personally manage the Chinese calligraphy, Xu Han could free up his hands and take charge of the three divisions.

As a result, Xu Han was promoted to the third envoy and became the "general steward" of the Song Dynasty.

Luoyang is the "old nest" of Chu Tianya, and its foundation is also quite solid. Chu Tianya, the imperial master, also served as the Xuanfu envoy of Henan Xuanfu Division, and then Bai Wei, Jiao Wentong, Zhang Xiaochun and others all held important positions in Xuanfu Division. Outsiders couldn't get into the water. The only "outsider" was the prince Zhao Kai who served as the general judge of Luozhou, which was purely a puppet.

Luoyang, as if it has already become a country, only Chu Tianya's order is obedient.

The official allowed Chu Tianya to open a government office in Tokyo to set up a special "Taishifu", and there were also subordinate officers and personal guards. In addition, in Luoyang, the county king Chu Tianya was allowed to set up a "Luoyang Royal Palace", which was also opened, with officers and soldiers.

In the first hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, this is the only case.

......

The reading of the edict is only a short time; but at this moment, it is destined to change the whole world of the Song Dynasty, change the whole history, and be recorded in the annals of history.

I believe that it won't be long before even the street beggars who care most about current affairs will know that at present, in the Song Dynasty, there is already one person with only one hand covering the power of the world; the former Taishi Cai Jing and Taiwei Tong Guan and other generations are not as powerful as him. Because he not only fully controlled the voice and decision-out power of the court, but also directly controlled the arms and horses of the world.

As for the official... What he has to do, it is estimated that he can enjoy sex in the harem.

After the imperial banquet, Chu Tianya resigned from the official family and returned to the Taishi Mansion under the personal escort of Zhuque and others. Along with it, there are also the new three envoys Xu Han, Jiao Wentong, Yue Fei and other old parts of Wutongyuan.

Jiao Wentong and others who have just entered Tokyo have not settled down, so they have to live in Chu Tianya's house for the time being. Fortunately, the Taishi Mansion left by the traitor Cai Jing is spacious enough. It is no problem for Chu Tianya to use it to "raise three thousand guests". But in this way, alertness and defense seem to be a little useless.

"Lord, you should be more careful these days. From the moment the Lord stepped into Tokyo, he found assassins hiding all the way. The rosefinch whispered in Chu Tianya's ear, "I suggest that Tang Ang and A Nu lead Hu Ben to strengthen the guard of the Taishi Mansion. Whenever the lord goes out, there should be no less than 300 iron armor guards to open the way."

"Do you want millions of people in Tokyo to know that I am still greedy and afraid to die?" Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "It's enough to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. You don't have to bother so much. The Taishi Mansion is strictly guarded; if I go out, you can accompany Xuanwu and others, and you don't need to open the way with armor.

"Yes..." The rosefinch knew Chu Tianya's style of behavior, so he didn't dare to say more.

"Xu Xiang." Chu Tianya called for the way.

"I am humble." Xu Han stepped forward and arched his hand, "What do you want to do?"

Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, "You don't have to be so modest - Xu Xiang, I want to know how many things Taishang Huangnandu has finally taken from the treasury of Tokyo?"

Speaking of this, Xu Han's expression was a little embarrassed. He said with an embarrassed face, "This matter... is all due to the evacuation and dereliction of duty. Although it has not been made a detailed inventory, it is expected that the whole treasury of the Song Dynasty has been due to the Battle of Tokyo and the Southern Crossing of the Emperor..."

Xu Han didn't dare to go on.

Chu Tianya frowned slightly, "Is it completely lost?"

"Almost, that's it..." Xu Han sighed in a long voice.

"It's expected." Chu Tianya's reaction was very indifferent, but there was a cold smile on his face, "Zhao Ji, that prodigal son, if he doesn't lose the last copper plate of the Song Dynasty, he will not be willing to go to the earth!"

Hearing this, Xu Han couldn't laugh or cry.

It is estimated that only Chu Tianya, the king of Luoyang, dares to say such words. If it were any other person, even Zhao Huan, an official, would only dare to scold in his heart.

"At present, although we have just defeated the Jurchens, the suburbs of Tokyo have become an uninhabited ghost land dozens of miles away; Chaoyan has become a hundred wastes to be popular, coupled with the exhaustion of the national treasury... We have won the battle, but we are very weak." Chu Tianya's eyebrows gradually twisted, "Zhao Ji, that bastard, doesn't do good things, but adds trouble!" Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase Beifu Youyan, but now I don't have money and food as a backing to let our soldiers eat the soil to fight with the Jurchens?

"It's true..." Xu Han also hated it and spit out a sentence that he, a Confucian, should not have spit out, "Bastard!"

Chu Tianya stood up and pointed twice in the direction of the south with an angry face, "Now that the foreign enemy is present, I don't have time to clean up that bastard. Wait, when I deal with the real woman, I will be the first to deal with Zhao Ji first! - Is this obviously a thief! For the sake of my own selfishness, I stole all the family background of the Song Dynasty!"

"This matter... is indeed a humble negligence and incompetence. Please ask the master to be punished!" Xu Han blamed himself very much.

"I can't blame you." Chu Tianya calmed down and comforted him, "At that time, although you and Zongfu controlled the overall situation of the court, after all, the whole court of the Song Dynasty was not all under your control. In addition, if the emperor wants to travel far away, even if I am present in person, it is not good to veto it directly. Otherwise, if the reputation spreads, it will be discredited. Compared with the hearts of officials, that little gold and silver treasure is nothing - if the money is gone, you can earn it again; if you lose your heart, it is really difficult to win it back.

"The master is deeply righteous and sympathetic to the subordinates, and the humble position is not only ashamed but also moved..." Xu Han breathed a sigh of light and said, "I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I have missed the military plan of the Taishi because of these things. What should I do?"

Chu Tianya smiled gently at the corners of his mouth, "Tokyo's family is empty. Isn't there Luoyang and the whole Song Dynasty? ...Blessings depend on misfortunes and misfortunes. In fact, on second thought, Zhao Ji has helped me a big favor?"

Xu Han was puzzled, "Where does this start?"

"I want to take this opportunity to invite the official family to Luoyang for a while." Chu Tianya's eyes lit up and whispered, "I will start the official house another day, saying that Tokyo has just experienced a big war, and after the flood, the corpses in the capital are all over the field, which may cause a plague. Moreover, after the war, the treasury was empty. Recently, I brought 200,000 mouths to Tokyo to beg for food. If it goes on like this, the soldiers will be hungry for fear of change. Therefore, I would like to invite the officials to stay in Luoyang for a while. One is to avoid the plague, and the other is to solve the food shortage.

"The teacher is far-sighted and admires him!" As the three envoys in charge of money and grain logistics, these problems are all thorny issues in Xu Han's mind. If Chu Tianya can move the official family to Luoyang and the imperial court of the Song Dynasty to Luoyang, all these problems can be solved!

First of all, Xijing Henan Prefecture, as the transportation hub, has always been the place where money and grain are gathered in the Central Plains. Luoyang is full of granaries. Even if the whole world is famine, Luoyang will not lack grain. In addition, Luoyang Xiongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are ready-made palace official houses to use, even if officials and officials move to the past. There is no need to build any palace houses temporarily, and you can take them on the spot.

Of course, the most important thing is that everyone knows that Luoyang is the nest of Chu Tianya, and his power is all concentrated in Luoyang. If the official family and Chaoyan are "temporarily" moved to Luoyang, it is undoubtedly announcing to the world that the whole Song Dynasty is already under the control of the Chu family!

Throughout the ages, whenever a country's power center wants to change, the favorite thing to do is nothing more than "abolish the establishment" or "relocation of the capital", that is, to completely break the old political pattern, and then break it, and then form a new team and achieve a new pattern.

Xu Han had long expected that Chu Tianya would have such a hand; he just didn't expect that Chu Tianya would want to do it so soon. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the way Wufu and Confucian students do things.

"Master, there is a saying in humble position. I don't know whether to say it or not..." Xu Han was a little hesitant.

"Say it!" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You are the third secretary, and you must nod and agree to this kind of thing. I specially invite you to come today to hear your opinion.

"I think that stability is the first to worry about internal and external troubles now." Xu Han said, "The imperial master and his colleagues have just taken office and are about to move the capital, which may cause more turmoil. The court of the Song Dynasty has just undergone a bloody change, and many government departments have even been paralyzed. The court's ability to command and jurisdiction over local places has been greatly weakened. If the Taishi initiates the relocation of the capital at this time, the whole world of the Song Dynasty will fall into a temporary state of 'the court order cannot be applied', which may lead to rebellion, civil unrection, and even foreign invasion. Master, don't ignore Hangzhou... If Tokyo is in chaos and the place is also in chaos, then Hangzhou will take advantage of the chaos to seize the hearts of the people, seize the officials of the state and counties, and even seize the country!"

Chu Tianya has been listening carefully. After listening, he nodded seriously, "You have a lot of sense. It seems that I'm a little hasty. Some people once said that governing the country is like cooking fresh food, but now I am still a layman. It seems that the set I used to fix the cottage and the army can't be fooled in the affairs of the court - well, I'll listen to your opinion and not mention the relocation of the capital for the time being. But I asked the official to stay in Luoyang for a while. What do you think?

"This... is feasible." Xu Han thought carefully and replied carefully, "But isn't there hundreds of thousands of troops of Wanyan Zonghan in the north of Luoyang? Although there is money and grain, Guanshan is dangerous, but there are also external enemies peeping.

"What are you afraid of?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "At that time, I invited the officials to come to the front line to boost morale! Let Wanyan Zonghan and others know that my official family in the Song Dynasty is not an abscess. Besides, at present, the woman is really begging for peace with me in the Song Dynasty. Wanyan Zonghan's hundreds of thousands of troops dare not be good at it - what I mean is to let everyone in the world know that from now on, the officials will only follow the pace of my Chu Tianya! But don't worry, I will definitely abide by my dignity and won't abuse the officials or do anything.

Xu Han frowned and whispered, "But in the eyes of many people, this act of Taishi may be 'holding the official', which is a move of no minister."

Chu Tianya laughed and said, "If Chu can't even stand this gossip, and he is so timid that he is afraid that others will scold me behind my back, he will not live in this room today. Those idle people outside, you can say whatever they like. I only do - what I think should be done! At present, the most important thing in the Song Dynasty is that Zhaoling is clear and the center is prominent. I want to let everyone in the world know that the court of the Song Dynasty is still there, and the power of the Song Dynasty has been firmly controlled by someone Chu. Whenever there are foreign envoys, you can come to Luoyang to meet you; if there are national affairs, you can order Luoyang - Xu Xiang, don't you understand what I mean? I want to transfer the attention of the world from Hangzhou to Luoyang!"

Xu Han suddenly realized, "So it is! ...Indeed, the Taishang Emperor's Nandu has undoubtedly shocked the world and attracted everyone's attention. Many people are wondering whether the Song Dynasty will have two courtes from now on. Tokyo can't do nothing, so that Hangzhou can grab all the attention. The official family moved to Luoyang in the west and had the king of Luoyang, a powerful and unparalleled backer, which is also a major event - if there must be any wrongdoing in Hangzhou, you have to carefully consider whether it will touch the bottom line of the king of Luoyang, thus triggering the war.

"That's right." Chu Tianya's eyebrows sank, "I just want to borrow this move to demonstrate to Hangzhou - if you dare to bring money to the south, I, Chu, dare to take the emperor to move to the west. If you dare to make trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, I will dare to let the officials issue orders and send troops to fight in a just right way - let your bones be left!!"

Hearing the last four words, Xu Han took a breath of cold air and thought to himself: Rule the country with an iron hand and hold the emperor to make the princes, that's right! ...This is the consistent style of the young teacher in front of us!
