Chapter 10 Too many flaws
"Mother~" Zhao felt a little aggrieved, so he even changed his title.

Yang hugged Zhao Shi, let go and said with a smile: "Eldest brother denounced the ministers and killed the eunuchs this morning. He was so majestic. How can he act like a child?"

Zhao Shi said in a low tone: "The subjects were as afraid of the Yuan captives as tigers, and their expressions changed when they heard about it. Therefore, I felt that there was no hope of recovering the country, and I was exhausted."

"Brother, there is no need to be depressed." Yang took Zhao Shi to sit down and said, "The King's army has been defeated again and again. As for now, the confidence of the army and the people is low, as it should be. Even when I heard that Yuan's troops were approaching the city, I was also panicked.

Three feet of ice did not freeze in a day. Even today when Taizu Taizong was reborn, he could not clean up the mountains and rivers in one go, he could only do it slowly.

Now, the eldest brother is only eight years old. He has only been on the throne for two days, but he is already able to overwhelm the ministers and set an example for the army and the people. What more can I ask for?
The future is long, so don’t compete with the short-term, and work hard to restore the country. "

Zhao knew these truths, but it was easier said than done. Even if he couldn't control himself, what could he do?

After a while, Zhao brought up old matters again.

"Mother, the only ones who can succeed the ancestral temple now are Hao'er and Sanlang. They cannot live together in a dangerous place.

Now that the boy has killed the Meng Yuan envoys to surrender, the Yuan army will arrive soon, and there will be war in Wenzhou City.

Children shoulder the responsibility of protecting the country and the country. They should set an example for the military and the people and cannot leave lightly.

The war is dangerous, and the child cannot be guaranteed to be safe, but if something unexpected happens, Saburo must succeed to the throne to calm people's hearts.

As for the child, Sanlang should go south to Fuzhou. However, since he is young, his mother should accompany him and take care of him, so as to prevent evil people from kidnapping Sanlang and splitting the center. "

"Sanlang can go south, entrust Mr. Jiang to take care of it, and mother will stay with you." Yang said.

As expected, I still prefer parents and children, and I am not afraid even if I stay in a dangerous place.

Zhao Shi said: "If Jiang Gong wants to recover various places, he will inevitably not be able to take care of Sanlang, and other people's children cannot be reassured, so they must be cared for by my mother."

Yang said: "You are only eight years old. If your mother leaves this place, who will take care of you?"

Zhao Shi replied: "Lu Xiu and his wife Cai are virtuous and steady, and can take care of their children."

Bah, thief Cao!Oh, the emperor is only eight years old?That's okay.

"Furthermore, if a child wants to move to the sea, the first group of people will be the families of soldiers. As it is said that it is difficult to leave the homeland and the family is difficult to leave, there must be many obstacles. My mother can set an example for the military and the people by taking Saburo south.

It's not that the children don't want to be brought down by Cheng Huan, it's just that the descendants of the Zhao family need to make plans for the country and have no choice but to do so. "

"Hey!" Yang hugged Zhao Shi into her arms and said after a long silence: "If the late emperor was half like his eldest brother, why would he be like this? Why would he be like this?"

What can Zhao say?You're a cheap dad like a fool, just don't say anything.

"The Yuan army will not arrive in a day. When Wenzhou affairs are properly arranged, my mother will take Sanlang south with Jiang Gong." Yang finally agreed.

"My uncle will accompany you and support you." Zhao Shi added.

Yang immediately retorted: "Marquis Yang is loyal and can be trusted with his life, so he should stay."

When he first fled, Yang Liangjie carried Zhao Shi on his back and walked in the mountains and forests for seven days until he got rid of his pursuers. He was really loyal. Now he stayed to take care of his life, which was natural.

"However, his concern leads to chaos. At the critical moment, he only cares about the safety of his children and completely ignores the majesty of the emperor. It is not conducive to commanding the army and the people." Zhao Shi became angry when he remembered that Yang Liangjie hugged him twice today.

An eight-year-old emperor is also an emperor, so he doesn't want to lose face, right?

You can't blame Yang Liangjie, because this was to ensure the emperor's safety and was not intended to offend.

Instead of getting entangled, it would be best to just let him go.

Yang asked: "If Marquis Yang leaves, who will protect my eldest brother?"

Zhao Shi replied: "Cousin Shichang is an upright and careful person, so he can be entrusted to you. In addition, Privy Zhang looks north. He is brave and not afraid of death, so he can be his deputy."

After Yang thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "Brother has a plan, so he arranged it this way."

The mother and son reached an agreement that Yang was not going to leave immediately. He would always wait for Jiang Wanzai to be ready and set off with the large army.

Seeing how delicious Zhao Shi's food was, Ms. Yang couldn't help but tell her, "After mother leaves, don't rely on others for food, drink or tea. People who are not close to you should be careful." "Don't worry, mother, the child will be able to take good care of himself." Zhao Shiying Down.

After eating and gossiping, the three little ones read a book, and Mrs. Yang was mending clothes beside them, and the whole family enjoyed themselves happily.

Zhao Shi was really not interested in the Analects of Confucius, so he read Zhao Bing's book.

"Hey, the Three Character Classic?" Zhao Shi took the book.

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Nature is similar, but habits are far apart. If you don't teach, nature is... nature is..." Zhao Bing wanted to show off, but unexpectedly, he suddenly got stuck, and his face turned red in worry.

"You are a fool!" Zhao Qingzhi gave his third brother a look of disdain and proudly held up his Thousand-Character Essay.

Zhao Shi laughed dumbly and asked, "Do you know who the author of the Three Character Classic is?"

"I know, Wang Yinglin!" Zhao Qingzhi raised his hand to answer.

Next to him, Yang said with emotion: "He is a man of profound knowledge, but he is rejected by Jia Sidao and cannot be used.

The eldest brother should not follow the example of Lizong and the late emperor. He should accept good advice and employ talented people. Only in this way can the country be revitalized. "

"Save it for me, kid." Zhao Shi returned the book to Zhao Bing and asked: "Mother, where does Wang Yinglin live now?"

"I live in a deep palace, how can I know about the affairs of foreign ministers? If my eldest brother is a talented person, I should ask all the ministers for their advice." Yang put down her needle and thread, thought for a moment and said, "There is nothing to do, and I just want to entrust Cai to my family, so I sent I have invited Mr. Lu and his wife to come and see them."

It was already pitch dark at this time, and to avoid gossip, it was not appropriate for the Queen Mother to receive foreign ministers, but it made sense since the two people were invited.

Soon, Lu Xiufu and his wife came hand in hand. After the ceremony, Mrs. Yang took Mrs. Cai to the back to talk, and Zhao Shi asked Lu Xiufu about Wang Yinglin's situation.

"Gong Houzhai (named Wang Yinglin) had profound knowledge, and one or two things can be gleaned from the Three-Character Classic. After he resigned, he lived in seclusion in the countryside and enjoyed writing books. The Three-Character Classic is just one of them.

His home is in Yin County, Qingyuan Prefecture (Ningbo), not far from Wenzhou. Please invite your Majesty to send an envoy to invite him, so as to set an example for the world's officials. "

"It should be so." Zhao Shi nodded and said: "If the road is safe, you might as well go through King Xiu to show your solemnity."

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Xiufu said: "There are two people, Hu Sansheng and Huang Zhen, whose talents, knowledge and character are not inferior to those of Hou Zhaigong, and they can be invited together."

"Good." Zhao Shi nodded: "If I use one more person, there will be one less Yuanlu, and one person can influence the popular support of a township and a county. We should take all of them.
One waxes and wanes, the other waxes and wanes. As time goes by, the hearts of the people in the world are with me, so I can defeat Yuan Lu. "

"Your Majesty is indeed wise and wise." Lu Xiufu said with emotion.

"In this case, we will set up a recruitment hall, with King Xiu as the angel, responsible for recruiting talents." Zhao Shi completely forgot that Zhao and Chen had just arrived in the morning and fainted from hunger.

Lu Xiufu nodded and said, "King Xiu is of noble status, profound in knowledge, and has a reputation as a virtuous man. Your Majesty has appointed him, and he really knows people well and makes good use of them."

Zhao is a fool.

During the Song Dynasty, most of the emperor's relatives were low-level people, so naturally they were not well-known. Zhao Shi just felt that Zhao and Chen were of high enough status and relatively idle.

Lu Xiufu was not a flatterer. If he said Zhao Yulu could do it, then it was definitely okay.

The two discussed the details for a while, but soon had a dispute over who to use.

Zhao Shi believed that one should be a meritocracy, while Lu Xiufu believed that one should have both ability and political integrity, and would rather not use talents without virtue.

"Your Majesty compares himself to Kublai Khan's employment of people, but he forgets that Kublai Khan's strength and power can scorn everything. Even if his subordinates have ambitions and put them into action, it is just a matter of turning his hand.

Your Majesty is young and has no prestige. The country is in such a state of decline that those who are not strong-willed will defect to the Meng Yuan even if they do not rebel. The harm is really unbearable. "

"It won't be like this when I am in my prime!" Zhao Shi said through gritted teeth.

I have to admit that Lu Xiufu was right. Without Kublai Khan's prestige, he really couldn't employ people like Kublai Khan.

Age, strength, prestige...there are too many flaws and there is nothing we can do about it.

Lu Xiufu said with a smile: "Your Majesty will work hard to govern, and sooner or later the world will return to its heart. You can only use people when you can, and it is not a matter of trivial chieftains."
