After seeing Houyuan, Zhao Bing was really nostalgic for going back and forth, but before he could go around, someone informed him that the Zuo Prime Minister and a group of ministers came. He knew that the changes in the situation would change their minds, and he wanted to enjoy it and live a real emperor life in this big garden. The ministers who were in the court in Qiongzhou were suppressed. Although he had compromised, it was a fact that the power of the prime minister was weakened. Now that he returned to Jiangnan, there was no need for the small place in Qiongzhou. He needed their assistance in management, so he had to give them a certain degree of freedom, and the power of the prime minister was exerted.

It can be said that there was a decision on entering Lin'an before, but after the order in the city was stable, the entry ceremony was held, and the sage entered Lin'an. However, nearly twenty days have passed, and the entry of the city has been delayed for a long time. On the surface, it seems that the imperial city needs renovation, and the people still need to be comforted. However, to think deeply, the emperor's personal expedition was the emperor's personal expedition, but the emperor has been slow to enter the city, but when he goes to court, he will inevitably give people the impression that the emperor is young and that everything needs to be ruled by the court.

Think about it, the best house in Zhao Bing who has lived in since the "responsibility of the country" may be the Pu family in Quanzhou. He has slept in an ordinary house, lived in a straw shed, and even lived in a dead mansion next to the imperial tomb for more than a month. The palace in Qiongzhou is just a renovated government office. Although it has been expanded, it was only in the name of welcoming the Empress Dowager and going to the court. Over the years, it has been expanded and renovated. The place I live now is a little smaller, but it is much better than before, so I will not make much trouble.

If he wanted to find a place to live, Zhao Bing would not need to lead the guard camp to ride a horse into the city. Others might not be able to see it. However, those who were in court knew that the military uniforms of the guard camp were different from other armies, and they were the real personal army of the emperor. They suddenly entered the city, and Lin'an Prefecture would not be unaware of it, nor would the court officials not know it, but they had not seen anyone come to ask for it for a long time. Not saying that they were intentionally neglecting it, it would be enough to show the meaning of it, which made him think more.

Zhao Bing knew that their actions had nothing to do with loyalty and treason, but the struggle between imperial power and prime minister's power was endless throughout the dynasties, which was nothing more than who decided. Of course, the emperor wanted to say nothing, and the prime minister also wanted to control the government and implement his own concept of governing the country. Fundamentally, as long as the emperor was not a fool and the prime minister was not a fool, the two sides would inevitably have conflicts. Don't think that both sides could reconcile. In the end, if the victory or defeat was decided, either the prime minister was superior or the imperial power was arbitrary!

At the critical moment of the war, Zhao Bing certainly did not want to provoke a conflict, nor did he want to have a reputation of killing a donkey or breaking a bridge across the river. But if he does not handle this matter well and keeps the situation in its infancy, he will fall into a passive and restrained everywhere. And blindly humility is by no means a good plan. Some things should be fought for, and they cannot be just accommodating...

"See Your Majesty, I'm late, please atone for my sins!" Zhao Bing arranged the place where he met them in the four-sided pavilion in the lake, and asked someone to collect some tables and set them up. Lu Xiufu and others passed through the hall and crossed the bridge to the pavilion and greeted each other.

"It's okay, I just came out to relax, but I still disturbed all my dear friends." Zhao Bing glanced at him. Except for Lu Xiufu, all the six ministers of the people who came, and he stood up and helped him with apologetically.

"Your Majesty, the city is settled first and it is still not stable. At least I will inform the ministers to wait for the trip, so I can take the opportunity." Lu Xiufu stood up and complained slightly.

"I am free today and have nothing to do outside the city. I have been to Lin'an City for ten years and want to go back to my hometown to see it. Moreover, Jiangdong is now resuming, and the war in Huguang is in full swing. Everything needs to be taken care of by Prime Minister Lu and your dear friends. How can I disturb me just wandering around?" Zhao Bing laughed dryly and asked them to sit down.

"Yes, our army is very fast. All localities need to send officials to take over, land taxes and population re-evaluate them, and the mainland prime minister has just finished discussing the matter. When he heard that His Majesty entered the city, he hurried to see the driver." Yao Liangchen said.

"Yes, Wen Xiangzheng was leading the troops outside, and the two governors stayed in Qiongzhou again. The heavy burden was on Lu Xiang. It was indeed hard work." Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the king and serve the country. How dare you say that you have to work hard?" Lu Xiufu quickly said.

"I know the hard work of the left prime minister. I am thinking of letting the two governors come. I can share more with the left prime minister, and I can discuss it even if I have something to do." Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked him to politely.

"Your Majesty... the court has moved north. If the two governors go north to Jiangdong, it is probably inappropriate to leave the Empress Dowager alone in Qiong." Yao Liangchen hesitated and said.

"Yes, I am also considering this matter. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, it is really my unfilial piety to leave the Empress Dowager alone in Qiong. I can only order two governors to escort the Empress Dowager to the north!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be slow or not." At this time, Wei Tianzhong, Minister of Works, said again, "The imperial city is destroyed now. If you want to rebuild it, it will take only a few days to make a contribution. Where will the Empress Dowager enter the capital? It is more appropriate to wait until the imperial city is repaired before we return to the capital."

"I thought there was no need to repair the imperial city." Zhao Bing waved his hand, "One, someone had reported that he would move to Jiankang, where there was a natural danger. He could attack the Jianghuai and use troops to the Central Plains; he could set up Jiangdong and recover Sichuan and Shaanxi to go south. In addition, the three armies are now fighting, and the military capital is consumed hugely, and the financial resources cannot be collected too much. It is very expensive to rebuild the imperial city, and a large number of craftsmen and servants are required to requisition. Is it really too disturbing the people, or is it better to temporarily delay it."

"I have also discussed this matter with all the ministers, but I have not found a suitable place. In recent days, the business has been busy, which has been delayed!" Lu Xiufu had already heard that the little emperor seemed to have something to do. He thought about how he had been in the city, but he had not even settled the palace. He had not said it explicitly, so he must have thought of something.

"Well, the left prime minister has to take charge of national affairs and take into account the affairs of the capital. It is indeed too laborious. This is because I am not considering it well." Zhao Bing nodded and said, "Now Mr. Bohou is still unemployed. He is an old minister of the three dynasties and is very serious. He will take over as the prefect of Lin'an. How about it?"

"I... I think your Majesty's arrangements are right, Wang Yinglin acts decisively, is an honest official, and has always had prestige, so he can preside over the Lin'an Mansion." Lu Xiufu was shocked when he heard this. The little emperor dismissed his Lin'an Mansion. Is he trying to kill a donkey or knock on the mountain and shock the tiger? But he just claimed that he was busy with official business, and he just said that he had just made a statement and could only agree.

"Chen Aiqing, how about I recommend a talent to you?" Zhao Bing turned to Chen Zhongwei again.

"Those who can catch your Majesty's eyes must be talented. Please listen carefully!" Chen Zhongwei said.

"This person is a meticulous person, and you must have heard of him. He is familiar with the scenery of Lin'an and the people's conditions. He has made great contributions to the attack on Lin'an City in one fell swoop. Moreover, he has been an official, and I think he can join the Lin'an Mansion and become a magistrate, and he can still be competent for the promotion." Zhao Bing pointed to Zhou Mi beside him and said.

"I have long admired his name, but I haven't met him yet. I didn't expect that he would have been taken over by His Majesty." Chen Zhongwei bowed to Zhou Mi and smiled.

"How dare you compare your merits with all your superiors!" Zhou Mi hurriedly stood up and returned to the courtesy.

"My dear friends, Jiankang is an important city in Jiangfang. Since its recovery, the position of prefect is still vacant. I think Hu Sinzhi once served in Jiangling and participated in military affairs in Jinghu. He can be the pacifier of eastern Zhejiang and also serve as the governor of Jiankang Prefecture." Zhao Bing said again.

"I think it's OK, but his qualifications and knowledge are competent." Chen Zhongwei said.

"I'm going to discuss it!" Xu Zongren also agreed. Others had no objection to the arrangements of the young emperor, but everyone felt strange that in the past, they would discuss and discuss the appointments of local senior management with everyone, but this time they proposed it in an unquestionable tone, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation at all, so they could not help but doubt that there was another meaning.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not easy to take the capital to Jiankang at this time. Now we have not been able to completely occupy the Yangtze River defense line and we are unable to use troops to Sichuan. Moreover, Jiangbei is in the hands of the enemy, and it is still a long time to occupy the Jianghuai River. Therefore, the enemy can not only attack along the current, but also cross the Yangtze River and directly point to Jiankang. If it is lost or even besieged, it will affect the entire situation and affect morale. Therefore, I think that it is best for Your Majesty to stay in Lin'an for a while." Jiang Qi was the master of the little emperor, and of course he also watched him grow up, so he naturally knew him very well. Today, His Majesty suddenly changed his normal generals and seemed to have discovered some potential crisis. He did not want to leave Lin'an, otherwise he would not have run to Beigong, so he suggested.

"What Secretary Jiang said is reasonable. At that time, Sun Wu successively named Jiankang and Jian'an, the most important cities along the river, but he still failed to defend the Yangtze River defense line. Jiankang went down in a battle and had to surrender, and Jiangdong was also lost." Deng Wenyuan, the Minister of Justice, also said.

"What you said is good, but it is not absolute!" Yao Liangchen said, "The Yangtze River defense line began with Sun Quan and died in Sun Hao. Among them, it is impossible to rely on danger to defend the Yangtze River..."

Zhao Bing had already known Yao Liangchen's great argument, but there were other reasons for the loss of the defense line in the late Eastern Wu. At first, the Eastern Wu and Sichuan Shu Han were originally class brothers who fought against Cao Cao, but later they turned a frightened because of the battle for Jingzhou. Liu Bei, the most famous treacherous sect in history, led more than 40,000 troops to fight, but was burned to pieces by the habitual criminal of Eastern Wu in Yiling. The Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Yiling were the two largest victories in the history of Eastern Wu. Both victories began with arson. Zhao Bing felt that there was reason to believe that Sun Quan was the reincarnation of the Fire De Xingjun.

The result of the Battle of Yiling was that the Eastern Wu occupied the entire Jingzhou, and Shu Kingdom was confined to Sichuan. After this war, the Eastern Wu and Shu Han realized the situation and restored class friendship. Within more than 40 years, there was no major war between the two countries, and the upper boundary of the Eastern Wu Kingdom was safe and sound. But later, new trends appeared in class struggle. The Wei Kingdom divided its troops into two groups and used lightning speed to destroy Shu Kingdom. From then on, the Wei Kingdom occupied the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and could flow down the Yangtze River and attack Jingzhou by water. At the same time, the Wei Kingdom had always occupied Xiangyang, not far from Jiangling, the capital of Jingzhou, and the army could go straight to Jiangling along the Han River.

In addition, Sun Wu concentrated its main forces along the Yangtze River, and the supply of military rations became a problem. During the Three Kingdoms period, wars continued, resulting in a large amount of land being barren. Faced with this situation, Sun Wu carried out extensive military farming in various garrisons along the Yangtze River. Sun Quan's military farming along the Yangtze River was mainly concentrated in the places where the military governors were heavily stationed, making military farming an important part of the Sun Wu Yangtze River defense line.

On the one hand, military farming solves the problem of military rations supply to the garrison and reduces the burden on the whole country; on the other hand, military farming can be used to strengthen the rule and maintain the stability of the entire defense line; at the same time, it can also supplement the source of troops for the garrison. Then corruption occurred, and officials and civilians in prefectures, counties, and soldiers in various camps found that they were busy buying farming and making money quick. So they all floated the Yangtze River and started business with the other side, causing fertile land to gradually get rid of, grain supply is tight, and the military farming policy was damaged. All of this made the defense line of the Sun Wu Yangtze River gradually get rid of...

In addition, with the deaths of Sun Quan and his capable ministers, Sun Wu gradually lost "harmony". The change of Sun Wu's heirs, the killing of Zhuge Ke, Sun Jun and Sun Lin's arbitrage, and Sun Hao's tyranny, and the continuous internal friction, the centrifugal force within the ruling group intensified. The Xiakou governor Sun Xiu, Xiling governor Bu Chan, and Beijing governor Sun Kai defected one after another. The hereditary governors of the army and the hereditary leadership system of Sun Wu have caused the increasing power of the gentry, and together with the original Jiangdong native tyrants, Sun Wu moved towards a negative "restriction on the river and self-protection".

By the end of the Three Kingdoms, the loss of military fortresses in the Huaihe River Basin and the Yangtze River natural danger was exposed to the military deterrence of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, the king of the Eastern Wu added a safety line to this natural danger: iron lock. The Eastern Wu people used iron chains and iron locks to block the vast river surface, and at the same time arranged sharp iron cones below the river surface to pierce the bottom of the warships, thereby preventing the Western Jin fleet from passing through the river surface. However, the Eastern Wu still underestimated the IQ of the Western Jin Dynasty. Although the iron was hard, it was afraid of fire. In high temperatures, the iron would also be distorted and melted. This is what the Chinese call "the five elements incompatible".

Later, the Western Jin general Wang Rui led the navy to the south. In order to deal with the iron cone under the river, he sent people to make some rafts, which ranged from a hundred steps, and used scarecrows to pretend to be armoured soldiers, holding weapons. On the one hand, it attracted the attention of the Eastern Wu army; on the other hand, the raft would hook the iron cone underwater and take the iron cone away along the river. After removing this obstacle, Wang Rui ordered people to prepare a huge torch, which was covered with sesame oil, and then ignite the iron chains. After the iron was burned into iron, the second line of defense was also eliminated. Therefore, the Western Jin fleet went south to destroy the Eastern Wu.

So there was a saying that "the protection of danger is due to people, virtue is not the danger". Later, Emperor Taizong of Song also used this statement to oppose Zhao Kuangyin's move to Luoyang, insisting on staying in Kaifeng, concentrating the imperial guards around Bianjing, and trying to adopt the strategy of "civil defense" to consolidate the capital, which not only caused the disaster of redundant soldiers, but also harmed future generations. In the Jingkang year, the Yellow River defense line was lost, and the capital was immediately conquered and ran to Lin'an.
