Chapter 70 Zhao Xu: Follow the path of the old party, leaving the old party with nowhere to go
Summoned Song Yongchen in the hall, and then Zhao Xu took Song Yongchen directly to the Kunning Hall behind the Funing Hall to meet the Queen Mother.

When they arrived at the Kunning Palace, the Queen Mother Xiang was still resting.

Today is Yiyou Day (thirteenth), and it has been eight days since the new king ascended the throne. According to the imperial decree of Emperor Daxing, the days of national mourning change from day to month, and this is the eighth month.

Therefore, today, the two palaces got up early, and they needed to summon the ministers respectively, and appoint these ministers to go to the southern and northern suburbs instead of Zhao Xu, to pray to the gods of heaven and earth, and to report the new emperor of the Song Dynasty to the throne.

At the same time, I have to discuss with Yousi to change the auspiciousness that appeared in the Imperial Palace after the new king ascended the throne, and the Jiahe discovered by the people.

Ok……

It has been like this since Yingmiao ascended the throne.

Xiangrui, Jiahe, etc., used to be made up by the ministers below to make the emperor happy.

Since Ren Temple, it has been accompanied by the revival of ancient Chinese literature.

The commentaries on the classics and meanings of the old Confucianism in the Han and Tang Dynasties have been criticized as sieves.

Naturally, no one will foolishly believe in the telepathy between heaven and man—if you really want to believe it, kill yourself first!
Since Renmiao, the Yellow River has been flooded, ravaged, and diverted from time to time.

Sanyi returned to the river, causing a huge disaster.

Then the flood and drought locusts visited various places in the north.

If you really want to believe in the connection between heaven and man, Da Song has to sacrifice a few ministers every year to apologize to God.

Therefore, in fact, from the later years of Renmiao, such things as auspiciousness have become something that the emperor and ministers tacitly conspired to deceive the common people.

There are rules and regulations.

How much auspiciousness and golden harvest should there be when the emperor ascends the throne, and where to find them.

How much should there be after the establishment, the establishment of the reserve, and the change of the yuan?
Even if the emperor recovers from illness and returns to the royal palace to govern, how much should he have?
Clearly, clearly, at a glance.

Of course, no one will point it out on the bright side.

Everyone followed the rules, but it was hard. Just now, they were not very proficient in listening to the two palaces, and they were not very skilled in cooperating with the officials, so they were often reminded.

So, very tired very tired.

Zhao Xu took Song Yongchen into the Kunning Hall, and asked Song Yongchen to wait in the hall.

He himself went straight into the curtain, and arrived at the Empress Dowager who was sitting and dozing.

"Mother's queen!" Zhao Xu stepped forward to salute, "Here comes my son!"

Of course, Queen Mother Xiang knew that Zhao Xu was coming, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at the child in front of her.

"Is there something going on here after my son comes to the mother?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "My son came to see the queen mother..."

"This child!" The Empress Dowager Xiang rejoiced in her heart: "At such a young age, he can already deceive the Empress Mother!"

However, precisely because of this, the Queen Mother felt a little relieved in her heart.

That's how kids grow up.

"Sixth brother, you don't have to hide it from your mother. If you have something to say, just talk about it..."

"It's still the Empress Dowager Sage!" Zhao Xu stepped forward, sat next to the Empress Dowager, took the aunt's hand, and said: "Erfang is in the Funing Hall, summoning Song Yongchen..."

"Ok?"

"My son made his own decision and left Song Yongchen in Da Nei!"

"Why?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but become curious.

"This is to let him have a good end!" Zhao Xu said calmly.

"Father last year, entrusted him with his son..."

"Shi Yiwu, Bianhe embankment department, and all the affairs in Beijing, there are many things that disturb and harm the people, and there are also many acts of exploitation and restraint!" Zhao Xu said softly: "Father has long intended to abolish it, so as to restore peace to the people, and to bring peace to the world..."

"Just because I was thinking about it, I didn't issue an edict to abolish it!"

This surprised the Empress Dowager Xiang and asked, "Emperor Daxing, did you really say that?"

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "How dare you lie to the queen mother?"

"Although I don't understand much, I dare not forget the things my father told me to remember!"

In Zhao Xu's previous life, Yuanyou era, the old party's Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others completely abolished the new law, under the pretense and banner that the late emperor had long since regretted it.

And Zhao Xu knew very well that he had to take the initiative.

Therefore, he began to follow the path of the old party, leaving the old party with nowhere to go.

Didn't you say that the first emperor had regrets long ago?

it is good!
I endorse you!

The first emperor did regret some things long ago!

But those things 'remorse'?
Only if I admit it!

You can't talk nonsense!

Those who talk nonsense are deceiving the emperor, slandering, and slandering the late emperor!
Empress Dowager Xiang became serious and asked, "Sixth Brother, do you remember what Emperor Daxing said at that time?"

Zhao Xu replied: "After reporting to my mother, I remember that at that time, the emperor and my son said: After the implementation of these laws and regulations, although they have gained a lot of money, gold and silver, they have done many things that are harmful to the people. I wanted to abolish them. However, I am running out of time. I can only leave this grace to you. When you become the throne, you can abolish them all, so as to accept the hearts of the people..."

"Father also explained to his son: Since ancient times, the young master has been in power, and he should extend his favor to the people, so as to win the hearts of the people and the army, so as to stabilize the world, and only in this way can there be long-term peace and stability!"

"Although my son doesn't understand, I dare not forget my father's instructions!"

Listening to the Queen Mother, her expression gradually became serious.

In her opinion, this must be the arrangement of Emperor Daxing.

It also fits with what she knew about her husband.

Everything must be carefully considered, and everything must be dealt with in detail.

This is the case regardless of civil affairs or military affairs.

It is precisely because of this that he became sick from overwork and died young.

Thinking of this, Queen Mother Xiang couldn't help but shed a tear, and then gently hugged Zhao Xu.

Although she had some resentment in her heart - Emperor Daxing didn't tell her about this kind of thing.

But at least her husband left her such a wonderful child!
So, he asked the Queen Mother, "Sixth Brother, Emperor Daxing, do you have any other instructions?"

Zhao Xu thought about it carefully, and then said: "I remember, at that time, the emperor told my ministers that after dismissing the embankment officer of the Bianhe River, he could follow the old system of the ancestors and order the embankment to be in charge of the storage yards, field affairs, warehouses, etc., and compete with the common people..."

"Then use the money you get to Qing Biansi!"

"In this way, the embankment department has tens of thousands of employees and more than a hundred thousand coolies, and they can still make a living..."

"In this way, the common people can benefit!"

"And the money obtained is used for Qing Biansi, which can be said to be 'taken from the people and used for the people'!"

"Rejoice up and down, naturally the world is peaceful, and the country is stable!"

Listening to the Queen Mother, her eyes gradually cleared up.

This interlocking design, this step-by-step arrangement.

Indeed, it could only be the handwriting of the Emperor Daxing.

Only he has such courage and determination!
the reason is simple.

It is impossible for a king who holds the power of the military and the affairs of the world to have such an arrangement, nor can he have such a grand design.

In particular, as the sixth brother told her, the stacking yard, field affairs, shops, and warehouses of Di'an Division were arranged according to the system of buying and selling by the ancestors, and the layout of the common people.

In the eyes of the queen mother, it is almost a perfect design!
why?
Because, can the 'common people' who can bid for these places be ordinary people?

It can only be the clan, relatives, and ministers.

At least it must be a big businessman who has a close relationship with these people!

And who doesn't know how much money Di'an has made over the years?

Now that the new king has ascended the throne, he has fed such a large piece of fat to the mouths of all the people up and down.

Are they still not grateful?Don't you swear allegiance to the death?
Any little unhappiness caused by the market-yielding method and the even-losing method in the past will disappear immediately!
