"No!" Zhao Chen said.

"Then how can your majesty guarantee the prosperity of the Great Song Jiangnan?" the old monk said.

At this moment, hearing the old monk's constant questioning of Zhao Chen, the face of Minghui next to him showed a worried look! He had just heard Zhao Chen's guarantee and he knew that Zhao Chen would not "destroy the Buddha", and he was relieved, but the old monk pressed Zhao Chen so much, and he was afraid that Zhao Chen would become angry. He looked at Zhao Chen quietly, only to find that there seemed to be a faint smile on Zhao Chen's face, and he was relieved again.

"This world is not the world of my Zhao family, but the world of all the people. The previous emperors are all under the family, and I am ready to end the situation of the family. If all the people are used to supervise the court, the court naturally dare not slacken. Everything about the court comes from Public heart is to serve the people, and the people are the most important, the emperor is the lighter, and the society is second. The court will naturally not perish. As long as this can be done, even if the emperor dies and the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the Song Dynasty will also It will last forever." Zhao Chen said.

"How to do this?" the old monk asked again.

"Please forgive me for not telling you now! In the future, if the master is still alive in the world, I should be able to see the new situation that I have created." Zhao Chen said.

The old monk nodded and stopped asking.

"I don't know what the name of the master is?" Zhao Chen is very interested in this monk now.

"Old monk Deguang." The old monk said.

Zhao Chen had never heard of this name, and the faces of Huang Qianshan, Zhang Jun, Chen Dong and others immediately showed surprised expressions! This monk Deguang was supported by the previous generation of Lingyin Temple. A famous monk in the south of the Yangtze River has not seen any outsiders for these years.

Deguang lowered his head, in his heart also judging how the emperor was. The reason why he came out was also bewitched by Shaolin Temple, because Zhao Chen really wanted to "destroy the Buddha", so he wanted to persuade Zhao Chen. Now that Zhao Chen obviously had no desire to destroy the Buddha, Monk Deguang began to inquire about something he was interested in. At this moment, he is really looking forward to the new situation in the future that Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen spent an afternoon in Lingyin Temple. This Lingyin Temple and the surrounding scenery are so many that Zhao Chen had a good day of rest today. Along the way, he talked with the monks of Lingyin Temple, and he admired the monks of Lingyin Temple very much. They are wise in Buddhism, and many of Zhao Chen's words sound very reasonable. After the monk at Lingyin Temple confirmed that Zhao Chen was not hostile to Buddhism, a big rock fell in his heart.

Zhao Chen didn't leave Lingyin Temple until the sunset.

He headed down the mountain, and the ministers and guards followed him.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen seemed to be thinking about something.

"The overall situation in Jiangnan has been stabilized! Officials from all over the country have loyal to me, and people everywhere are not in chaos. Now there are Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Li Guang and others in Jiangnan, and the Propaganda Department led by Wang Shu is here. There will be a big mess. Now only the bandits in Dongting Lake and Lianghuai are left, it's time to recover Dongting Lake!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

Zhao Chen went south to the south of the Yangtze River and brought an army of 100,000.

However, in the last two or three months, Jiangnan has just recovered. In order to prevent accidents in Jiangnan, most of the 100,000 troops are stationed in various places in Jiangnan! Now, everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River is stable, Zhao Chen can also send this 100,000 army to Dongting Lake to clear the White Lotus Rebellion in Dongting Lake!

"There are still thirty thousand imperial soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. These imperial soldiers can also be used to suppress bandits! In addition, there are more than one hundred thousand army of Liu Guangshi, which can also be used to suppress bandits! But their speed is too slow! I want to be fast To pacify Dongting Lake, you still need to use Wu Jie's army!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

It was already dark, and Zhao Chen returned to the palace.

After he hurriedly finished dinner, he immediately invited Li Gang over.

Li Gang was also very busy during this period. He had to deal with Jiangnan's big and small affairs, restore Jiangnan's economy, implement commercial tax reforms, and so on.

Even in the middle of the night, he is still busy in Zhongshu Province. Zhao Chen called, and he rushed over immediately.

"I decided to go to Dongting Lake personally to quell Dongting Lake's banditry!" Zhao Chen immediately said when he saw Li Gang.

"What? Your Majesty will go to Dongting Lake in person? Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, does not need to go there personally." Li Gang said.

"The Dongting Lake banditry was initiated by the White Lotus Sect at the time. These people are extremely cunning, and I have to go personally. Moreover, after the Dongting Lake is calmed, the remaining Lianghuai have nothing to worry about, leaving only one general to be able to calm down! Jiangnan is truly stable." Zhao Chen said.

He sat at the table, looked outside, and couldn't help but think of Song Qingyao.

The reason why he wants to go to Dongting Lake in person is to see this woman again and ask about the original things.

"Your Majesty, if you want to quell the Dongting Lake chaos, you should mainly pacify and encircle and suppress them." Li Gang said after a moment of silence.

"Oh? Why do you focus on comfort? Encirclement and suppression?" Zhao Chen said.

"The people of Dongting Lake rebelled because the officials forced the people to rebel! When Zhao Gou was in the south of the Yangtze River, all kinds of levies and taxes were too high for the people to make a living! In addition, Liu Guangshi forcibly conscripted troops in the Dongting Lake area, so there was civil unrest in Dongting Lake! The Dongting Lake is huge, the environment there is complicated, and the people who rebel are very familiar with it! If we blindly encircle and suppress the army, even if our army is strong, but the troubled people hide in the hidden place of Dongting Lake, we also need to calm Dongting Lake very much. For a long time! That’s why the main thing is to appease! After arriving at Dongting Lake, your Majesty should immediately make an order to forgive all the sins of rebelling against the people in Dongting Lake, and only investigate the guilt of the Bailian sect leader! In addition, there were many officials in Dongting Lake. Gentry, most of these officials and gentry were killed by the rebellious people. They have a lot of land left, and that land can be distributed to the people! Also, tell them that we have already exempted them from taxes for three years! If they lack seeds, let's The seeds can be given to them for free! In this way, the rebellious people will naturally come back! After a long time, the Dongting Lake banditry will be cleared naturally! Of course, at the beginning, we still have to encircle and suppress the army with heavy soldiers! The people know that staying in a chaotic army is full of crises, and they can come out and surrender without any problems, and get land and seeds, of course they will come out and surrender." Li Gang said.

"Not bad!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, you have appointed many other court officials recently! When I first came to the palace, I heard from the guards that you have appointed Huang Qianshan as the official book of the household department and Chen Dong as the Jiangnan Yushi! This Jiangnan court, your majesty, Do you want to keep it?" After finishing talking about Dongting Lake, Li Gang said suddenly.

"The Jiangnan court is just an empty shelf and doesn't have much power. This Jiangnan court is all under your control. If you think some people have some talents, you can use them. If you think they don't have talents, then don't worry about it. The appointment of Huang Qianshan, Chen Dong, Zhang Jun and others was either because they were the first to seek refuge in me, or because they had some reputation in Jiangnan, or because they did have some talents. In short, they were placed in the Jiangnan court and they are now empty positions. Give them vacant positions, and they can also be used to buy people's hearts." Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen understands." Li Gang nodded.

Zhao Chen has said clearly that this Jiangnan court is just an empty shelf and has no rights. Any "shangshu", "shilang", "yushi", etc. here are used to buy people's hearts. These Shangshu, Shilang, and Yushi orders can't even come out of Lin'an City, let alone temper local officials.

"Your Majesty, the World War is about to end, and the recovery of the Central Plains is a foregone conclusion. After the World War is over, what will the Military Aircraft Department do?" Li Gang said again.

"After the World War is over, the Military Aircraft Department can still keep it. However, the Military Aircraft Department is afraid to change a name." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, do you still want to dominate the government alone?" Li Gang said.

"Of course not, the world is in chaos, and I have to introduce many policies. When the world is peaceful, this military agency will naturally make changes." Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know how your Majesty will change?" Li Gang said.

He is obviously very concerned about this.

"At that time, the rights of the officials, especially the prime minister, will be greater than before!" Zhao Chen said.

"Bigger than before?" Li Gang asked in surprise.

"Yes! I want to establish a more reasonable court institution than before to govern the world. Let's talk about everything until the world is settled, and I have to think about it. After a few days, I will discuss with you again." Zhao Chen Tao.

Li Gang has left, and Zhao Chen is still thinking there.

He took out a wad of paper and wrote some thoughts in his heart on the paper until late at night, without falling asleep.
