  Chapter 997 Authorities fans

  Yanjing, these days Wanyan Xie has also been paying attention to the civil strife in the Song Dynasty. He has obtained detailed information from Du Chong and Qin Hui.

To be honest, Wanyan Xie is not optimistic about Zhao Ji's palace coup, the timing is not right, the Song army has just destroyed Xixia, Song emperor's prestige is at the height of the sky, at this time, even if the palace coup is successful, how can it make all the officials and the people of the world surrender ?

Of course, if the Song Dynasty was in chaos, he would still be happy to see it succeed. For this reason, he specially arranged for assassins to assassinate Li Yanqing in Lin'an, just to help Zhao Ji. If Li Yanqing died, not only Zhao Ji's throne could be slowly secured, but also Jin Guo also got rid of a serious worry.

   It's just that the final result disappointed Wan Yanxie. Li Yanqing escaped the catastrophe twice, and Wan Yanxie realized that Zhao Ji's palace coup was dangerous this time.

  In the study room, Wanyan Xie also stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back, listening to the guard behind her report the express letter from Lin'an Mansion.

   "The latest news is that Li Yanqing's army has entered Lin'an Mansion, and he has been canonized as the regent of the country"

   "OK!"

  Wan Yanxie also interrupted the guard, "There's no need to report, let's go out! By the way, bring me Pharmacist Guo."

   "Follow the order!" The guard saluted and stepped back.

  Wanyan Xie was also full of irritability. What he was worried about finally happened. Li Yanqing took control of the Song Dynasty government, and the resources he had were no longer the Northwest and Bashu, but the entire Song Dynasty. This was undoubtedly like a tiger with wings added.

   "Get the **** off!"

  Wanyan Xie was also depressed and unbearable. With a roar, he slammed his fist on the table, 'Bang! ’ The table was broken with a bang.

  At this time, a soldier outside the door reported, "General Guo is here."

  Wanyan Xie also slowly restrained the irritability in her heart, nodded and said: "Let him in!"

   After a while, Yaoshi Guo walked into the room. He saw the table that had been split in two, and his feet stopped, feeling a little uneasy.

   "Refer to Marshal Du for a humble position!"

  At this time, Wanyan Xie had also completely calmed down. He pointed at the table and smiled, "Recently, my body is quite heavy, and the table is cracked."

   "Hehe! Let the guard change to a stronger one."

  Guo Yaoshi laughed dryly, he clearly saw that the table was cracked by smashing it, not by sitting on it.

   "Please sit down as you please!"

Wanyan Xie has also been very polite to Guo Yaoshi recently. Last month, Guo Yaoshi reminded him that the Liao Kingdom is a weapon that strictly controls the grassland people. Immediately sent people to investigate, and found that all the weapons of the grassland people came from Xixia.

Of course, this will not be provided by Xixia. Xixia is about to destroy the country. I don’t have enough armor to resist the Song army. This should be provided by Li Yanqing to the grassland. Only he has a large number of captured weapons, and only he can do it this kind of thing.

  This investigation result made Wan Yanxie extremely annoyed, but at the same time full of vigilance. Li Yanqing obviously wanted to use the hands of the grassland people to weaken the Jin country and hold back the Jin soldiers.

  It's a pity that the Jin Kingdom considered the grasslands more important than the Song Dynasty, so they rejected their proposal to withdraw troops and wanted to conquer the Mobei grasslands wholeheartedly, which made Wanyan Xie very depressed.

   "I don't know Marshal Du is looking for a humble job." Seeing that Wan Yan Xie was also a little distracted, Guo Yaoshi reminded him in a low voice.

  Wan Yanxie also nodded, "The situation in the south is not good recently!"

   "I also heard about the humble position. It seems that there was a palace coup in Lin'an, and Zhao Ji was restored."

   "That's already past news. The latest news is that Li Yanqing suppressed the palace coup and was named regent of the country. A two-year-old child was enthroned as emperor."

  Guo Yaoshi was stunned for a moment, Li Yanqing actually became the regent of the prison country, this is not good!

   "Marshal Du, this is not good news for us!"

  Wan Yanxie also sighed slightly, "It's not only bad news, it's completely bad news. I suspect that once he stabilizes his power, he will tear up the armistice agreement and launch a massive northward attack."

   "If this is the case, Marshal Du must remind Liu Yu!"

   "I've already sent someone to remind him. To be honest, he has let me down a lot recently."

Guo Yaoshi didn't dare to speak casually, so he had to listen patiently. Wanyan Xie also continued: "The fundamental reason why Li Yanqing was able to defeat Zhao Ji's army this time was that he transferred 30,000 elite cavalry from Jingzhao. It's like destroying the dead, and this cavalry is actually going south from the Central Plains, Liu Yu let them go through the hinterland of the Central Plains like this, without any obstacles, and they didn't even report to me."

  Wan Yanxie also spoke to the end, the anger in his heart rose again, he looked at Guo Yaoshi and said: "Please explain to me, what does he mean by doing this?"

  Guo Yaoshi was stunned, did he call himself here to ask this matter? Liu Yu has nothing to do with him!

   "This... humble job has no contact with Liu Yu, I don't know how he thinks about it."

  Wan Yanxie also realized that his tone was too harsh, so he softened his tone: "I'm not blaming you, but I want to hear your thoughts, and I will ask you about other things later."

  Guo Yaoshi was relieved now, he thought for a while and said: "I feel humbled, Liu Yu is very afraid of Li Yanqing, and he is afraid of offending Li Yanqing, so he obeys what he says."

   "You're right. That's the problem. We actually found a soft bone to sit in the Central Plains and expect him to fight the Song army. It seems that I have to change!"

  Guo Yaoshi knew that Wanyan Xie was speaking out of anger, if he changed people, he would directly force Liu Yu back, and that would not be worth the candle.

Wanyan Xie also complained, and then turned the topic to the real thing, "A few days ago, Li Yanqing sent an official to negotiate with me, asking us to hand over Li Yungui, otherwise it will be deemed as us tearing up the armistice agreement. What do you think he means? Is he afraid that Li Yungui will restore Xixia, or is he deliberately finding fault with us?"

  Guo Yaoshi was speechless for a while, isn't this a repeat of the Zhang Jue incident? The difference is that the two sides are completely reversed, which is really funny!

  Of course, Li Yungui is the only Xixia royal family who fled to the Kingdom of Jin. Li Yanqing did intend to prevent him from being restored, but Guo Yaoshi felt that the matter was not that simple.

He pondered for a while and said: "I feel that Li Yanqing is looking for excuses to tear up the armistice agreement. Li Yungui is actually dispensable to him. Xixia has disappeared. If Jin Guo helps Li Yungui restore it, it is better to occupy Xixia directly. place."

   "It makes sense. I also think that Li Yanqing's real purpose is to find an excuse to tear up the armistice agreement, but the problem now is that Li Yungui is of no value to me."

  Guo Yaoshi understands what Wan Yan Xie means, he wants to hand over Li Yungui to Song Jun, it seems that Wan Yan Xie is still a bit of a fan of the authorities!

  Guo Yaoshi cautiously reminded: "If Li Yungui is handed over, I'm afraid that the imperial court will be disadvantageous to Marshal Du."

  Wanyan Xie also didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he nodded, "I see!"

Wan Yanxie also walked slowly to the window, there was a kind of unconcealable anxiety in his eyes, he just remembered the Zhang Jue incident, just a few years ago, the situation began to reverse, if the imperial court did not stop conquering Mobei The grassland is about to make a major strategic mistake.

  Thinking of this, Wanyan Xie was also burning with anxiety, he decided to rush to Shangjing Huining Mansion tomorrow to meet the wolf lord.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was March of the following year. At the beginning of the year, all the officials voted to change the reign name to Song Xing. The regent Li Yanqing issued an amnesty decree. All criminals under serious crimes could be pardoned from all over the world. Special household registrations such as music registration and craftsman registration are cancelled, and they are all regarded as good registrations.

   Amnesty decrees are commonplace, and people don’t feel deeply about them, but the decree of merger has shocked people all over the world. There are both praises and criticisms, especially the practitioners of music and craftsmen cheered.

  If the amnesty decree and the merger decree only affect a few people, then the reform of the sales system, the abolition of exemption money, and the suspension of commercial taxes have a profound impact on the people of the world.

The reform of the sales system is to restore the previous sales franchise, cancel the government-run sales in various places, and plug the loopholes in the system where officials in various places use their power for personal gain and harm the people. This is a reform that will be implemented last year. The reform was not carried out, and it was finally carried out after several months of gestation in the hands of Li Yanqing.

The biggest advantage of reforming the sales system of tea, wine and salt is that the income from the sale is directly transferred to the central court, which has cracked down on the shady collusion between officials and businessmen, greatly increased the government’s fiscal revenue, and at the same time reduced the source price of monopoly products, so that prices can be reduced and the people can benefit. .

  In addition, the abolition of the exemption money is a benefit that the new court gave to the people all over the world, which greatly reduced the tax burden of the people, and made the people all over the world grateful.

The two reforms took immediate effect, and the economy of various places in the Song Dynasty began to recover rapidly. Especially after the suspension of commercial taxes, businesses in various places began to flourish. Lin'an City began to prosper in just a few months, and the number of new stores opened increased by five times compared with last year. become.

  At the beginning of March, Yue Fei led the army to completely suppress Zhong Xiang Yang Yao, who rebelled in Dongting Lake, which restored the smooth flow of the Yangtze River waterway and further promoted the prosperity of the Yangtze River shipping industry.
