Han Shizu

Chapter 1385 Chess Players and Pieces

"If things like this are in peace, how can a big man enjoy peace?" Emperor Liu emphasized it again, then looked at Zhao Pu, and said: "This discussion is settled!"

"Yes!" Zhao Pu didn't have much to say, and could only bow his head and obey orders.

Emperor Liu continued to instruct Zhao Pu with a look of unsatisfied intentions: "This is also my attitude towards the tribes of the neighboring countries of the Han Dynasty, and it should also be the basic policy of the imperial court in the future. Be an example, lead the group, and implement it!"

"I understand!" Zhao Pu declared.

Of course, he did start to think about it. This was just a willingness and attitude expressed by Emperor Liu. How to turn it into a policy and implement it required him to worry even more.

At least, how to convey it, how to make it ambiguous, and how to come up with a set of plausible rhetoric requires some brains.In the Chui Gong Palace, it was only their monarchs and ministers discussing politics, but after all, they couldn't express their views nakedly like Emperor Liu on the scene.

After all, Emperor Liu's remarks were sharp and aggressive, and they really did not conform to the consistent philosophy and style of the Central Plains Dynasty, and were contrary to the moderation and prudence.

Moreover, it loses the demeanor of a big country and hurts the morality of the monarch.Emperor Liu's meaning was very straightforward. He wanted to create chaos around him in order to secure himself, and he used behind-the-scenes tactics to fight fires everywhere. What kind of behavior is this? To use a disrespectful term, the actions of a villain are for fear that the world will not be chaotic.

Of course, Zhao Pu didn't dare to say this kind of view, and no one dared to. On the contrary, Zhao Pu didn't fail to see the mystery and benefits of it.

However, things always have two sides, and Zhao Pu also saw another possibility.If the fire is lit everywhere, will it burn yourself? If the surroundings are restless and the big man lives among them, can they really sit on the Diaoyutai and be alone?
Regarding this point, it is difficult for Zhao Pu to come to a conclusion, and it is even difficult to say whether it is right or wrong.At this time, all he could do was follow the emperor's will.

Zhao Pu is a very assertive person. Over the years, he has made a lot of suggestions to Emperor Liu, but after all, it is divided into matters. Like this matter, Emperor Liu has made his attitude clear, and there is no need for him to fight for it. Did not speak out.

What will happen in the future, under this foreign policy, no one knows what the situation around Dahan will be like in the future.However, as long as the big man himself has no problems and sails stably, then all problems will not be a problem.

This is what Emperor Liu and Zhao Pu are striving to achieve!
"By the way, for more than a year, the country has been troubled. Zhao Qing has been in charge of the center, taking care of both internal and external affairs. I am very moved. I am really ashamed for not rewarding you." Turning his head, Emperor Liu spoke sincerely. Confidential appearance.

In this regard, Zhao Pu was surprised, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is serious, for the country and the people, why not talk about hard work!"

"Others only see the glory and military exploits on the battlefield, how can they know the bitterness and hard work of the people behind the scenes, and the Northern Expedition discusses meritorious deeds, and you are not listed on the list, but I remember your achievements!" Emperor Liu said affirmatively: "You should also be rewarded! In this way, the gift that Xu Xi sent to your house this time is up to me, and I will give it to you directly as a reward, and I will continue to work hard!"

"My prime minister, how could he be shaken by some yellow and white things!" Emperor Liu added another sentence, which was meaningful: "I have my own reward!"

Hearing this, Zhao Pu was a little surprised, but a flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and he quickly reacted, cupping his hands and saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

At the same time, in the depths of his eyes, there was also a little gratitude.Zhao Pu is a very wise and reasonable person, and he also knows his current situation. It can be said that he is the one who has the weakest foundation and reputation among the prime ministers of the big man, and faces the greatest obstacles.

As for Xu Xi's flattery, this kind of thing is also the easiest to attract criticism and be used as a fuss. Even if he handles it in a timely manner, it will inevitably cause some trouble.

However, Emperor Liu rewarded him with this, not only for the reward, but also to endorse him on the platform, so that others would stop using this matter to deal with him, and even in the future, it would be difficult for Emperor Liu to attack him with such means. Zhao Pu.

An attitude can save Zhao Pu from many unnecessary criticisms and reduce his pressure.After exchanging eyes with Emperor Liu, Zhao Pushi felt so bright and gentle that Zhao Pushi was really moved.

Of course, this emotion was only for a moment, and soon he returned to his usual deepness.After a little consideration, Zhao Pu took the initiative to refuse: "I am so grateful! However, I dare not accept the reward, and I hope your Majesty will take it back!"

Without waiting for Emperor Liu to ask questions, Zhao Pu explained: "There are many bureaucrats and bureaucrats in various ministries, and there are many officials who do not try their best. The ministers have worked hard, so how dare they take credit for their work and be rewarded!"

"The emperor's reward, there is no reason to take it back!" Hearing this, Emperor Liu smiled slightly, and looked at Zhao Pu with deep meaning in his eyes: "However, Zhao Qing's concerns are not unreasonable, and I will naturally not treat one more than another. Those who work hard and do their duty should also be encouraged.

I heard that Xu Xi brought a large amount of tribute when he came to Beijing this time. Since he agreed to negotiate a peace, I will accept it as it is.There is no need to collect internal money, nor to turn it over to the national treasury. I will take part of the money from the internal money and combine it together to reward officials as a show of comfort. "

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Zhao Pu got up again and said, "I am in charge of all the officials, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"As for the specific list of awards, let Zhao Qing preside over the drafting!" Emperor Liu added.

Hearing this, Zhao Pu's heart skipped a beat, and he replied, "Yes!"

On the old face, it was difficult to conceal the surprise in his heart, what is the emperor going to do, a question flashed in Zhao Pu's mind?Zhao Pu thinks that he has a lot of power now, and he can be said to be the person with the most real power in the past prime ministers. Emperor Liu's move seems to be another opportunity for him to show favor to his ministers and buy people's hearts.

Zhao Pu is now within the imperial court, of course he has formed a political force centered on him, but likewise, there are still many groups who disobey him or remain neutral.

As for Emperor Liu, this meant to continue to increase his power and enhance his influence, and through this move, Zhao Pu was able to recruit some officials and use them as help. Emperor Liu gave this opportunity, and he has this means.

After thinking about it for a while, he thought about the benefits of this matter to himself, but when he noticed Emperor Liu's peaceful but always unpredictable face, the feeling of oppression filled his heart again.

Emperor Liu's trust and attention will not be for no reason. Judging from his more than 20 years of experience in sitting in the court, he has always reserved his attitude towards the prime minister. Even if he has delegated power several times, the highest power has always been firmly in hand.

However, now, to expand one's authority in this way and enjoy such a deep kindness, naturally one needs to pay something.The emperor generously distributed power, and what he did was obviously to do things and to reflect the value.

Almost without much trouble, Zhao Pu recalled it, probably to support the reform measures that he had recently accelerated.Among them, it is inevitable to face the huge class of Shang Xungui.

In Zhao Pu's mind, the situation became clear. The emperor's attitude on this matter always seemed to be half-hidden, but he could feel it.

Therefore, Zhao Pu also added a bit of confidence and confidence. Even if he is Zhao Pu, he is not really fearless. While stretching his hands and feet, it is inevitable that there will be no hesitation and hesitation.

And I have to say, in this way, I don't have much leeway.Perhaps the road was chosen by himself, but Emperor Liu had to push forward and cut off the retreat, so he could only move forward on a one-way street.

If you deviate, Emperor Liu will correct it, if you give up, you may face a blow from Emperor Liu.For a moment, Zhao Pu really understood his mission as prime minister.
A little bit of bitterness could not help but sit in the hall, giving orders, majestic, and once thought that he was a chess player who used the world as a chessboard.

However, before he knew it, Emperor Liu seemed to have constructed a chess game, and he, as well as those honorable and important ministers, had been deeply involved in it, and the chess player was still the emperor on the throne.

This sudden awareness and inexplicable emotions were quickly suppressed by Zhao Pu, and he regained his composure and regained his peace.No matter what, there is one thing Zhao Pu knows well. No matter how huge and terrifying the noble class is, at the moment, only Emperor Liu is the most terrifying.

Against others, the outcome is unpredictable, but against Emperor Liu, then the outcome is certain!
