Han Shizu

Chapter 1719 Dare to talk about taboo things
"Right now, the most pressing issue for the big man is still the chaos in Yulin, and most of the energy of the court is involved in this matter, and the eyes of the people of the world are also fixed on the northwest." Zhao Kuangyi talked about the business, a little serious: "About Yulin Please ask the second brother for advice!"

Facing Zhao Kuangyi's gaze, Zhao Kuangyin looked very calm, and said slowly, "What advice can I give you? Haven't you already explored the ins and outs of the rebellion and the cause of the crux of the problem? The court's counter-rebellion matters have also been fully rolled out. Deploying troops and dispatching generals is entrusted to people, and the strategy of suppressing bandits is even more majestic. The bandit army is rampant for a while, but after all, it is not enough to stop the car with the arm of a mantis."

Zhao Kuangyi shook his head, and said: "I am naturally full of confidence in the fight against the rebellion. However, the one to worry about is not in Yulin, but in the imperial court. Such a huge rebellion will be recorded in the history of the glorious Kaibao prosperity. Don't you think it's ridiculous?

His majesty's martial arts posture can never go wrong, so who should be responsible?Zhao Pu has resigned, what about us Kaibao ministers?Now that it is urgent to put down the rebellion, that's all. Wait until the rebellion is settled, will His Majesty make a liquidation again? "

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyi was worried about gains and losses, Zhao Kuangyin chuckled, pointed at him, and said, "You are also a person who studies history, so how can you be troubled by this matter? Since ancient times, which dynasty and generation can achieve real peace and tranquility?" , calm?

The so-called prosperity depends on the power of the country, the overall situation, and the power of the imperial court. Even if ghosts and ghosts are at work, the imperial court has the confidence and strength to eradicate them.

His Majesty has sat in court for more than [-] years, and the people in the country have been attached to him, and people's hearts are stable. Given the current situation, how can the little Yulin bring chaos to the world.Let's look at His Majesty's ambition to put down the bandits. Why was he ever worried about the chaos in Yulin? What he thought was to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in Yulin and restore the long-term peace and stability in the northwest. With such a magnanimity, what should you worry about?
As for Zhao Pu's resignation, although you are responsible for the chaos in Yulin, with your knowledge, can't you see the real reason behind it?The chaos in Yulin will not affect the structure of the imperial court! "

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi nodded slightly, his face didn't change much, just thoughtful.After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Kuangyi sighed: "Your Majesty wants to do something extraordinary to suppress the rebellion in Yulin. Only Your Majesty can make such a decision!"

"Is there another objection from the court?" Zhao Kuangyin heard the voice behind the words.

Zhao Kuangyi smiled lightly, showing a bit of mockery: "Why not? However, I didn't dare to mention it to His Majesty, but I can see what those bachelors, Hanlin, Langguan, and those well-educated scholars think in their hearts. !"

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, raised his eyes and said seriously to Zhao Kuangyi: "I know that you have always been close to those literati and scholars, and the family has also raised some aides, but your majesty has always placed more emphasis on practical affairs than empty talk, so please don't step on your feet in this matter. Wrong. What His Majesty really values ​​is the ability to manage the world and apply it. This is the way of governing the country. The imperial court supports those Confucian officials, and it is just to invite their names!"

"I understand!" Zhao Kuangyi nodded bluntly, but he didn't feel annoyed by it.

Zhao Kuangyi is an authentic literati, and it is natural to get close to those well-educated Confucian scholars. However, with the current situation in the Han Dynasty, under the almost tyrannical promotion of Emperor Liu, practice is more important than knowledge, which has become the official mainstream argument.

The bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty need Confucianism as their arm, but as batches of hardworking talents stand out, and gradually move to high positions, and have a certain right to speak, the successors will have no shortage of guides.There is no conflict between real talent and learning, but a basic bias has been formed in the selection of officials.

Of course, since ancient times, it is difficult to be perfect, and everything is difficult to be perfect. Emperor Liu never expected to be able to truly use people on their own merits. The deep-rooted ideas formed cannot be easily changed.

What Emperor Liu did was to inject a talent-based gene into the selection of the officials of the big Han, and try his best to keep it going, forming inertia.In this way, even if some rancid phenomena full of class interest exchanges cannot be avoided, the general direction is not bad, which is enough.Contradictions always exist, as long as there is an advantage, it is good to keep it.

In such a big environment, although Zhao Kuangyi was friendly to literati, he would not try to change the atmosphere and improve the status of literati.He didn't have the motivation to do this in the first place. He is not Song Taizong now, and he doesn't need to consolidate his power position through the policy of using literature to control martial arts. This is a fundamental difference. The ass determines the brain. reason.

But as a bureaucrat, a bureaucrat who is interested in power also needs a basic board, a group of available people, and some people who want to wave the flag for it.

In this regard, a bachelor of letters with a pen can play a big role, but compared with the actual power, these are particularly insufficient.

Why Zhao Pu was able to hold the power of prime minister steadily for so many years without falling? Emperor Liu's support is of course important, and Zhao Pu's own means are also extraordinary. Some people, even if they give him a stage and invite an audience, he can't perform well.

Zhao Pu was not the case. In the past, he had a large number of hard-working ministers who were recognized by Emperor Liu. After all, it was difficult to compare the talents of one person with the talents of others. With so many fans and support, how could his status be unstable.

As far as Zhao Kuangyi is concerned, it is inevitable to train and promote his own people, and in terms of his own people, he is of course more inclined to those who have the ability to actually manage affairs.

The reason is that even ordinary people can still interpret it in the most popular words, not to mention a person like Zhao Kuangyi, but as a political figure, he will look at issues more from the perspective of interests and positions, so The decision made, in the eyes of others, will appear foolish.

Smart people do stupid things and laugh at their stupidity, maybe they are not smart enough.

"After Yulin suppressed the rebellion, I don't know how His Majesty will arrange for King Zhao!" Zhao Kuangyi started talking about the Yulin rebellion again.

How can even Zhao Kuangyin give an answer to this?After thinking about it, he said: "This is not what you and I need to worry about. The crown prince's status is stable, His Majesty trusts him, and the queen is still alive."

Hearing what Zhao Kuangyin said, Zhao Kuangyi lowered his voice subconsciously, and said, "It is said that the empress fell ill again a few days ago, this is not a good omen, if something unexpected happens"

"Where did you hear about such things?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned.

Zhao Kuangyi spread his hands and said: "It's not that I deliberately inquired, it's just that in this forbidden palace, why not tell the secret, if you go in and out of the forbidden palace, as long as you don't close your eyes and ears, you can always get some news."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, then slowly said: "For more than [-] years, the crown prince has not only relied on his mother's support, but also can bear these right and wrong with the crown prince's capital. We don't need to worry about it!"

Zhao Kuangyi thought for a while, and felt that it made sense, but he still couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "These princes are like dragons and tigers. "

"Forget it, I've talked enough today, I'm tired, so I won't talk anymore!" Seeing Zhao Kuangyi's appearance, Zhao Kuangyin let out a sigh of relief, raised his hand, and looked like he was trying to chase someone away.

Zhao Kuangyi also thoughtfully prepared to leave, but when he thought of something, he cupped his hands and said, "Second brother, the northwest is not peaceful now, Kuangmei is over there, I'm afraid it may not be safe, can you think of a way to recall her?"

At the beginning, because of the Huazhou case, Zhao Kuangmei was exiled to the northwest, but now, many years have passed.Speaking of exile, it's really not a show. Although the Zhao family brothers care about their brotherhood, they still dare not plead for mercy on this matter.

Zhao Kuangyin loves his younger brother very much. At this time, when Zhao Kuangyi mentioned it, he almost didn't think about it, and sighed: "After so many years, Kuangmei has suffered a lot. It's time for him to come back. I don't want the brothers to have to see each other again in Jiuquan. Your Majesty, you should give me some face."
