Chapter 255 of the text of Guan in the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. Secretly pay attention to the Song Dynasty and Bianjing City.

Zhao Kuangyin was reviewing memorials in the imperial study room. His whole body was calm and stable. After several years of ascending to the throne, he had developed a special atmosphere of the nine fives. The country was so important and the national fortune seemed to have blessed himself.

Zhao Kuangyin was only 37 years old. He was in his prime and was full of energy. He had to stay up late every day to review memorials. After all, at the beginning of the founding of the country, everything was in trouble and he needed to deal with too many military and national affairs.

Since releasing the military power with a cup of wine, Zhao Kuangyin has gathered the military power of the imperial guards and firmly controlled it. Except for the generals who went out to fight, the generals who had no war in the territory had their power to mobilize the military power, all the generals who had no war in the territory had their power to regain their power, were idle at home or were responsible for training in the military camp. Without the instructions of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, it was not allowed to mobilize the troops without authorization.

During the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties, the court continued to change. Zhao Kuangyin himself forced the mother and son of the Chai family to step down through the yellow robe. Therefore, his origin was not right. He was always wary of the imperial power and throne in his hands, and was worried about the generals and nobles.

In addition, the grand career of unifying the world is also an ideal for Zhao Kuangyin. Now it is being implemented step by step. After taking down Jingchu, the Song army is ready to act and has begun to disturb the border between Ba and Shu and tentatively use troops. Once they taste the sweetness and find that the Shu army has no ability to resist, they will do their best to destroy Shu.

After the land of Bashu was taken down, the only states of Yue, Southern Han and Tang were left in the southern regime, which was not worth worrying about.

What made Zhao Kuangyin's headache was the Northern Han in the west. With the Khitans on the grassland as a shelter, it would be difficult to chew off the hard bone. However, if the Northern Han was not taken down, and the fortress that entered the grassland north was handed over to the Khitans, it would threaten the security of Song and Bianjing at any time. No one knew when the Khitan cavalry passed through the Northern Han territory and suddenly rushed to the imperial city of Song.

This is something that Zhao Kuangyin cannot tolerate. Sooner or later, he will have a duel with the Northern Han and the Khitans.

In addition, the Dangxiang people were ready to move in the northwest prefectures and did not obey the dispatch of the Bianjing court. They had to be wary of the king. In terms of the vassal states, the Zhe family of the prefectures, the Yang family of the Linzhou, the Wang family of the Fengzhou, and the Zhong family of the Qingjian City, were entrenched in the northwest for decades. The relationship was mixed, and they listened to the tune but not the Xuan, and they still wanted to maintain the separatist state of the vassal states, which was something that Zhao Kuangyin could not bear.

In all dynasties, only within twenty years of the founding of the country, the military strength and military strength value were relatively high and the team was strong. Once it settled down and entered a peaceful and prosperous era, it would be difficult for the army to have combat effectiveness. Zhao Kuangyin also understood this. If he could not sweep the world, solve internal and external troubles, and leave it to the descendants of the Zhao family, there would be even more hope.

Zhao Kuangyin put down the memorials and rubbed his temples. In addition to these major military affairs, there were also some urgent matters in national affairs.

For example, the Yellow River burst its dam and flooded hundreds of miles, and hundreds of thousands of refugees need to be comforted and rescued.

The northwest is drought and locusts are plaguing, and the people of the two states are waiting for the court to provide relief.

In Qilu, smallpox plague broke out even more headaches...

At this moment, the eunuch general manager Zhang Dejun walked into the imperial study room and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "The official family, Wude Department has sent a letter to urgently, a secret memorial from the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan."

"What new trends are there in the Tang Kingdom?"

Zhao Kuangyin murmured in confusion, took the secret letter from Zhang Dejun, took it apart, swept it aside, frowned, and then gradually became surprised.

Finally, he spoke in disbelief: "The plague broke out in Runzhou, Jiangnan. It was very serious at first, but it was magically controlled half a month later. With a special method of suppressing smallpox, it can cure patients and even prevent people from infecting smallpox for their entire lives..."

Zhang Dejun was also surprised when he heard this. He was fifty years old and had a long life experience. After two or three smallpox plagues, although he was not infected and was lucky enough to escape, many people in the village died, which was really terrifying.

As far as he knows, since ancient times, no one can completely treat the disease with medicine, and can only survive by relying on himself and leaving it to fate.

"Which miracle doctor appeared in Tang State?" Zhang Dejun asked in surprise.

"Su Chen, Doctor Su!" Zhao Kuangyin said five words and fell into deep thought.

"Su Chen? I haven't heard of any miracle doctor calling this name! Hey, this name seems to be familiar... Oh, maybe..." Zhang Dejun suddenly remembered a young talented man.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "It's him, Su Chen, Su Yixuan, the secret memoirs of the past few times, either his poems, which are famous in the north and south; it's even the development and sale of new blue-white porcelain and soap products, which are all caused by this person. Now he knows how to treat smallpox again."

Zhang Dejun was stunned and a little unbelievable.

Can a person be so comprehensive?

"Would you make a mistake?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked up and glanced at him, questioning: "As the commander of Wude Department, do you think there is a mistake in Wude Department's information?"

Only then did Zhang Dejun realize that he had made a mistake. He could not doubt the intelligence agency he was in charge. Isn’t this a slap in the face?

But Su Chen is just a young scholar. His poetry accomplishments have already shocked the world. It is incredible to know how to study things and create new things. Now it has developed a way to restrain the smallpox plague, which is really hard to convince!

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head, looked at the map of mountains and rivers behind the table, focusing on the place in Runzhou, Jiangnan, and sighed: "I want to see this Jiangzuo Sulang earlier! If this person could be my Song Dynasty, his literary talent could be the leader, business methods, and excellent medical skills, he could benefit the people of the Song Dynasty. I would rather trade a few cities to exchange for this Su Chen!"

Zhang Dejun was a little shocked when he heard this. The officials' evaluation of young people was higher and higher. Now he actually had the idea of ​​using several cities to exchange for Su Chen. Such attention is not bad.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Don't be surprised, because the city is dead, people live, and the city is sent out, we can still regain it in the future. If such a young genius is used properly, he may be able to earn a lot of money for the Song Dynasty treasury every year; he can reduce all the diseases and disasters; he has great talent in poetry, but he can make many scholars in various countries surrender and be willing to contribute to our Song Dynasty. The more things he can dig in him, the greater the effect it will have on the court."

Zhang Dejun has realized that this person is good at many abilities and can constantly extract his value, which is of great benefit to governing the country and ensuring peace.

"The officials will not really consider using Jiangbei City to replace people, right? This may arouse opposition from the prime minister and generals..." Zhang Dejun raised his concerns.

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and laughed: "Of course not. I just made a metaphor. Even if I agree, what should the generals who have paid countless blood and lives to capture the city for this? How should we target Su Chen? Therefore, we should slowly plan this matter. First, send an envoy to Jiangnan. When we see who Su Chen is, we can stabilize Jiangnan and prevent Li Yu and some court officials from Jinling. We will secretly form an alliance with Shu and block our Song army's plan to attack Shu."

Zhang Dejun bowed and praised: "The official family is wise!"

Zhao Kuangyin said again: "We have to find a suitable candidate and go on a mission to Jiangnan."
