"Yi An, if I had this intention, I would have thrown it out."

This data may not be accurate. War has indeed caused harm to the people in the north. Many people died in wars in their prime, as well as the people who died in labor due to labor and taxes, as well as the people who died in disguise due to increased labor and taxes and family difficulties. It is true that the people in the north are suffering. However, it may not be as miserable as this data. Some are the people who escape taxes and labor and become hidden households and cannot count them. There is also some time shortage, which means that most children in families have not grown up. Without hunger, in this era of no family planning, each family has several children. Even if the medical conditions are not low, the population will increase faster. The main reason is that the land pressure is not high now. Later, the population has increased, and the number of people is competing for fields with mountains, seas, and rivers and lakes cannot meet the demand for population growth, which has led to a tragedy in which parents drown their excess children.

This is going to go back. Even if Song Jiu promoted it, and a large number of foreign households, Qiang households and barbarian households were naturalized, and even the several states were difficult to settle and several states began to be included in the account book of the Ministry of Revenue. The Song Dynasty's statistics last year still did not reach five million households. However, it was close. The number of households did not yet generate land pressure.

Therefore, the number of households is small now. Once these children grow up and have to separate their families, it will be the time when the number of households surges. But then it is mostly unrelated to Zhao Kuangyi, who has serious leg injuries.

"Duke Zhao, do I agree to Yongxi's Northern Expedition? It's just to strengthen the army and prepare for the military. This is what Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty said repeatedly. Am I wrong? Or am I setting a precedent for the Jiedushi again?" Song Jiu continued to mock him.

"Yi'an, you have no intention of expedition in the north, but Your Majesty always has the intention of expedition in the north. Once Yi'an's actions are successful, Your Majesty will inevitably insist on expedition in the north again."

"So. According to Mr. Zhao's intention, our dynasty will be invaded and bullied by Liao Kingdom from then on, and will no longer strengthen the army."

If it were before, Zhao Pu would have been popular long ago, so I put down my body and communicated with you. I am afraid of you in this attitude.

But at this time, Zhao Pu actually sighed: "Yi'an, I know you have always had prejudice against me, but the demon star was born and the drought was severe. Why can't you let go of prejudice and make the Song Dynasty better?"

"Oh, but Song doesn't understand, how do you make Song believe you."

"I'm going to hide it from you, please see, this is the memorial that I am preparing to submit." Zhao Pu took out another memorial from his arms.

Song Jiu glanced at it and read:

Your Majesty was exiled to see the demon star yesterday, and he was deeply hurt. My classmates and my colleagues were intimidated by the emperor and criticized the son, and they were incompetent. During this period, the old ministers were most unfair. They were ashamed of the strengths of the three platforms. They knew that they were secretly disregarded and would rather avoid the demon star being exiled to see the demon star! They were all the actions of the ministers. The people were deceived by their intelligence and hidden sufferings. Those who were abused had no way to complain, and those who were stubborn did not dare to point them out. Although the public opinion was aware of the emperor's feelings and were unpredictable, they were only the most hidden faults, and the most were willing to wait for severe punishment. Now, people are quite depressed, but the superiors are still bad. The madman is a man of a madman

The plan of chaos is to strengthen the enemy's plan to violate the border. The time and human affairs are not ordinary, but this year, it is necessary to protect it. The first time that the Majesty of the Immortal Majesty knew the strangeness and personally told the good news, he wanted to give it to Tan's kindness and give it a reward. The goodness of this statement must increase the good fortune of a hundred blessings, all based on the heart of favor, and there must be a hope of change. After a few days of continuous changes, it seems that there is a change. I heard that the evil and slanderous words in the Sitiantai were vaguely vain and confused the hearing of the wise and wise, and they were obscene and strange, and they destroyed the Khitan. I was secretly worried about it, and I did not understand the authenticity... I asked to dismiss the story of the three ministers according to the previous sect, and to expel the blame, and to inspire Li Zhongliang.

The first thing I said is that the demon star came out was the mistake of the old minister being the only one who was in power. Please punish me. The second thing is that the demon star appeared in the world is not a good thing, but the Sitiantai official deceived the emperor and said that the demon star appeared, which represents a good sign of destroying the Khitan.

"Is that official in Sitiantai said?" Song Jiu said in a daze.

"I have been in a state of deterioration since the beginning of autumn and I don't know much about it, but hearing this incident made me very worried."

Song Jiu looked at Zhao Pu suspiciously. Could it be that this old boy really made a kind heart, let go of his own heart, and told him some serious things today?

"Yi'an, no matter what you and I have been in the past, please believe my loyalty to the Song Dynasty. You, Meng Zheng, Qi Xian and others have grown up one after another. I went to Huangquan at some point, but I was also very pleased to see you. At this time, I will not make things difficult for you anymore. Could it be that Yi'an shook hands with Shi Gui and made peace with me at Qigou Pass, and could not shake hands with me?"

Song Jiu still doesn't believe it.

Zhao Pu sighed, took out his tongue of flame and burned the book of the household, and said, "Yi'an, I'm going to tell you, my health has deteriorated in the past few days, and I even dreamed that the three kings came to detain me..."

"ah."

"I have said this, Mr. Yi An should believe it."

Song Jiu scratched his head, and Zhao Pu even had a nightmare, dreaming that Zhao Tingmei came to capture him and said it. Maybe this old boy really wants to shake hands with him and make peace?

"Besides, I will present this memorial to Your Majesty on the same day, taking all the blame behind you, and resigning from Your Majesty and leaving the Prime Minister. Don't Yi An believe it?"

"Okay." Song Jiu said helplessly.

"Then let's talk about the Northern Expedition first."

"Don't worry, there is an official in Sitiantai. He said that he had studied in my school for a year. I'll talk about this demon star tomorrow."

"What about Demon Star?"

"Don't ask about this Zhao Gong." Song Jiu was obviously still worried about Zhao Pu.

"Is it a materialistic study... Yi An didn't say anything and I didn't ask, the Northern Expedition..."

"Just give you a clear idea. I also want to go to the Northern Expedition, but my Northern Expedition is ripe when the time is ripe. I also disagree with the Northern Expedition. Even after this great victory, I thought of an idea, that is, to train a navy army in Dengzhou, but it is not really going to land in Liaodong. The training is true, and waiting for an opportunity to land or harass Liaodong is also true, not now. The current function is to surprise the Liao Kingdom. Then they not only have to set up forts on the Yanyun border, but also on the long coast, and finally drag the Liao Kingdom down step by step."

"I can't do it."

"I want it, but not now. The reason why I did not propose that the strong army is only internal and I do not want to show more hostility towards the Liao Kingdom for the time being. Xiao Yanyan is a fierce lord. If the navy is set up to harass the coastline of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Yanyan will invade the south again. It is best not to invade and give me two or three years to rest and rest. Therefore, I did not propose. I am not a reckless man in terms of whether to fight the north or how to attack the Liao Kingdom, and I am very sober."

"Understanding is still the foundation of the country."

"I said that internal governance is not the foundation of the country? But what Zhao Gong said in the past is the south and then the north, and the south is recovered, what about the north?"

"I didn't know that Liao Kingdom was so difficult to attack."

"I only say two things." Zhao Pu put down his body and made peace. Song Jiu no longer called himself Song, and said, "The first thing is that Zhao Gong governs the world with half of the Analects of Confucius. He should know the core of Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, rituals and music, and doctrine of the mean. What is mean? It is not that people learn mediocrity, so as not to urge them to be exaggerated in the forest. I believe that Zhao Gong would not approve of this mediocrity. Mediocrity is morality. Mediocrity is moderate and fair, that is, to act in a moderate manner with virtue. Why do you think it is moderate? Too soft is not moderate, and too strong is not moderate. If I were too soft in recent years, I believe that under the attack of Zhao Gong, my body would have been sinking into the Yangtze River. Zhao Gong is not a soft coward. Why should I be soft to the Gentiles? If people are soft, they will be bullied. The same is true for the country to be soft! The second thing is that there is a proverb in the folk that wealth will not last for three generations, so I put my two sons south of the sea.

Let them temper their hardships, and know that they have to stick to their family business. The same is true for all dynasties. Generally, they have done their best in the first three monarchs, and they will gradually become worse. Youzhou is controlled by the Rong people and cannot be taken back within three generations. Once a master is not capable enough, the Rong people will inevitably push their horses to the south. Could it be that if our dynasty learns from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and rule them? But this is true, your descendants are all in the capital. What should we do at that time? You are a military officer, and I believe you understand better than me, and more than Zhang Shi! But my attack is not the impetuous and hasty attack like Song Qi, nor is it your conservative, but the attack is moderately determined by the timing. For example, this year's drought, if you want to fight the Northern Expedition, I will stop it. I love the people, I am a false reputation, but I will not be worse than you. Please don't stop it anymore."

"I feel at ease when Yi An really has this idea. Although I plan to resign from the position, I will assist Yi An in implementing these military systems smoothly when I am positioning."

Song Jiu was stunned.

What medicine does this old guy sell in the gourd?

Even when Song Jiu left Changqing Tower, he didn't know how to leave.

Zhao Pu looked at Song Jiu's confused back, raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly. Compared to scheming, how could this guy be my opponent?

When he returned home, he immediately found his two sons.

Did Zhao Pu really release his kindness?

But Song Jiu never expected the reason in his dream.

This starts with his second time as prime minister. He had scheming and finally took over the power of the Secretariat again. He defeated his political enemies one by one. But he did not succeed in his efforts to deal with Song Jiu. After all, Song Jiu came from the Liaodong Realm, and Zhao Kuangyi always regarded Song Jiu as his person. If there were no later... no later disasters, even so, Song Jiu might not have been able to take the position of Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture safely.

But when the disaster came, he was also sad and had to go down unhappy.

This time, he made a comeback and trained several people, such as Kou Zhun and Lu Mengzheng, who also appreciated Zhang Qixian very much. The first is that these people are indeed talented, and the second reason Zhao Kuangyi knew, and Song Jiu didn’t know, that was to defend the back!

Zhao Pu was old in the end, but he offended many people in his life. He was alive and no one attacked the Zhao family. If he died, what would these political enemies do to the descendants of the Zhao family?

There was Song Qi and Li Fang in front of him. Although Li Fang could only get promoted after leaving the prime minister, he was somewhat kind. Later, there were Lu Zhangkou and other quasi-prime talents who protected him. Who would touch his descendants?

But it does not include Song Jiu.

The two of them cannot be resolved, unless he really lowers his head, will Zhao Pu be happy?

Even if it is possible, Zhao Pu would never mind pulling Song Jiu down.

But no matter how much I think about it...

He tried his best to become a prime minister again. With his past, he made Zhao Kuangyi want to die, but he was able to become a prime minister twice. Who can match this mental skill?

However, it was very sad. Just now, the drought came again and the demon star came.

Song Jiu is a rational superstitious person, believing that there may be gods and ghosts, but it is unlikely that they are gods and ghosts respected by the people.

After all, Zhao Pu is from this era.

Just once, twice? But the last flood disaster was before and after Zhao Tingmei died. So he was suspicious, and even dreamed that Zhao Tingmei came to take revenge many times at night. He often shouted that the servants in his house knew about this matter, and they couldn't hide it, so today they expressed sincerity and knew that Song Jiu had a faint sympathy for Zhao Tingmei, so he said it. But this was his subconscious trust in Song Jiu's conduct. At least Song Jiu would not do despicable things, otherwise he would not say it.

Zhao Pu knew that he had no time, so it was unlikely that he would solve Song Jiu.

Just as Song Jiu proposed military system reform, Zhao Pu saw the opportunity and had this conversation.

So what will Song Jiu do after he dies?

A gentleman is easy to deal with, and he will deceive him with the best!

Looking at his two sons, Zhao Pu said, "I have not had much time to be a father. If one day I am unhappy, please give this letter to Song Jiu. Also, I will take the elders to him that day..."

Zhao Chengzong was unhappy: "My father, he is about the same age as the child."
