The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1411 Banquet Interlude

"It's true that people should make the best use of their talents. It's true that these people have been given empty positions and salaries. Then we have to let them and our Great Song Dynasty do their best. I will talk to Zhao Pu later and ask him to draw up a charter. The old ministers of the Han and Tang kingdoms choose people who are both capable to serve us."

Zhao Xu's words made Zhao Kuangyin's eyes brighten. He used to think that raising these people would be for nothing. As long as they don't make trouble, nothing will happen to them. However, Zhao Kuangyin felt a little reconciled to giving them their salary for nothing. , Why didn't I think of such a good solution before? When Zhao Xu said this, Zhao Xu's heart immediately brightened.

"Why didn't I think of doing this before? These people don't give them real power, but let them do practical things. This is better. I like doing this. It can solve many problems,"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled happily, because he knew that these old ministers basically had some experience in politics. Of course, he was referring to those honest ministers, and he didn't need to think about those villains at all.

"Okay, he is really my good son. He actually gave me such a good suggestion. Yes, I have to think about handing over the government affairs to you, so I can relax for a while."

"No, I think it's better for you to mediate in the middle. As for the fighting and killing, let me, a young man, do it." Zhao Xu heard that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to stay in your court, and Zhao Kuangyin himself But Zhao Kuangyin wanted to relax for a while, but Zhao Kuangyin knew better that Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to be idle, but wanted to go to the battlefield, so Zhao Xu naturally wouldn't let him go.

"You are the pillar of the sky in our Great Song Dynasty. You can't move easily. It's better to sit in the center. As for conquering foreign enemies, it's better for me to do it for you. You'd better clean up a country."

Zhao Xu said proudly.

"Don't talk nonsense, you brat. I'm still in my prime. Besides, the country of the Great Song Dynasty will always be in your hands. How can I do it without some experience? It will save you from being in such a hurry when the time comes."

Zhao Kuangyin's reason was also very good, he wanted Zhao Xu to exercise well, so as to save himself from being in a hurry when he ran the country in the future, it would be better to have some experience.

"What is there to learn? The most important thing for an emperor is to control the resources in his hands. An emperor does not have to be the most talented, but he must have a group of capable and loyal ministers. As long as these people are used If it’s all right, then there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Being able to employ people and knowing how to employ them is what an emperor should do. It is undeniable that if an emperor has the ability, he can deal with major national affairs more easily.

"So as an emperor, you don't have to do it yourself. Otherwise, what do you need those ministers to do? Father, so I advise you to relax in the future and take care of your dragon body. The body is the foundation of everything. You must have a healthy body. Too tired..."

"Stop...Okay, I won't talk anymore, I really can't do anything about you, you kid has such a mouth, you can say whatever you want." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't bear to hear Zhao Xu chattering. There are many reasons, let your father and I go out for a run, can you die?
"Okay, father and son, let's stop arguing about this issue. We just talked about dealing with the old ministers of various countries. Just follow what we said just now. Do you have anything else to do?"

Zhao Kuangyin felt that Zhao Xu came here probably for this matter, and there should be nothing else to do, so he asked Zhao Xu if he had anything else to do?

"Yes, of course there is. We all forgot one important event. I don't want to see this person live again..."

The soldiers who went to the Southern Tang Dynasty were rewarded, and Zhao Kuangyin also entertained some generals in the Chongyuan Hall, and rewarded the generals who conquered the South on the spot. Meng Chang, Liu Baoji, Qian Chu were also invited to the banquet. Of course, Li Yu was also indispensable. The new title of Jiangnan King.

"Today, my long-cherished wish for many years has finally come true in half. God bless you, Meng Chang, when you came to Bianjing, do you remember what I told you?" Everyone was enjoying the dance in the hall. Zhao Kuangyin asked a question suddenly, and Meng Chang, who was still immersed in the graceful dance, suddenly woke up.

"Ah, I remember. At that time, His Majesty said that you would be able to unify the world. Today, Hou Laigui disobeyed his orders, which just verified His Majesty's golden words, and further proved that His Majesty is the true Dragon Emperor. Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Meng Chang reacted quickly. First, he briefly recalled what Zhao Kuangyin said when he first met him, and then began to flatter Zhao Kuangyin, praising Zhao Kuangyin as the real dragon emperor.

"Qin Guogong, I don't like to hear your words. Your majesty is the real dragon emperor. This is indisputable. What you say means to question your majesty. This is a serious crime. Can you be convicted?"

Originally the atmosphere was good, Meng Chang was also flattering, and the others were still talking about how they were preempted by this kid, such a good thing should be done by themselves.

However, a disharmonious voice came, angrily reprimanding Meng Chang. He felt that Meng Chang was questioning the legitimacy of Zhao Kuangyin's status, which was a serious crime.

"My lord Liu, this is bloody spitting. You clearly know that I don't mean it that way. Please be your majesty." It turned out that the person who spoke was Liu Baoji, who pretended to be his brother's name and had mastered the political affairs of the Southern Han Dynasty for a period of time.

"Your Majesty, I see that Meng Chang has ulterior motives, please punish him!" Liu Baoji showed unprecedented anger, as if it was because Meng Chang had offended Zhao Kuangyin.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intentions. It's Liu Baoji who spouted blood. Please..."

"Shut up, what's wrong with being noisy in the hall, today is the royal father's banquet, why don't you take His Majesty seriously, and Liu Baoji, you have to remember, this is not your hometown. Han, and this is not Panyu, so we must be careful in doing things in the future."

"I would like to follow His Highness' instruction." Liu Baoji withdrew while wiping his sweat.

"And you Qin Guogong, sometimes you have to be careful when you speak, you don't get your Majesty's appreciation by flattery, it's better to be honest, remember?"

It turned out that Zhao Xu was furious when he saw that these two people were fighting each other here. This is what makes him happy. You two think this is a vegetable market.

Meng Chang felt like breaking out in a cold sweat when he heard this, at first he really seemed to be sycophanting, but Liu Baoji ruined it, and the two of them almost had a full martial arts in the hall.

"Okay, sit down, today is a big day, and I'm happy too. If you two, Meng Chang and Liu Baoji, do this again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. Okay, the banquet will continue, and everyone can do whatever they want."

After Zhao Kuangyin spoke, the others could only obey, while Meng Chang gave Liu Baoji a hard look, and then sat in his seat. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Xu, the father and son, looked at each other and didn't know what to say. Think about something.
