A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1020: Peace or swords and guns?

"What do you think of the matter in the settlement?"

Zhao Shu was obviously still angry, so Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, in places like Guangzhou and Quanzhou, it has become a common practice for cannibals to live in large groups."

Everyone nodded.

Therefore, the so-called conventions are the key to governance.

The way to govern, especially for a prime minister, is to be steady.

Therefore, it is understandable that Xiao follows the rules and follows the routine.

"Whose routine?"

Su Shi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, those big cannibals used to monopolize the sea trade and made huge profits, so they settled down everywhere. Naturally, those small countries did not dare and would not comment, but this It’s the Song Dynasty!”

The prime ministers and assistants were all looking at him, feeling a little puzzled.

This Su Shi's nickname is Su Dazui. I haven't seen him express any opinions on government affairs in the past. What's going on today?

Zhao Shu encouraged: "You talk, I listen."

He was worried that Su Shi would be nervous under the gaze of him and his ministers, but he didn't want to think about who Su Shi was.

This is Su Xian!

Su Xian who can write about the journey to the east of the Yangtze River will probably not be nervous when facing gods.

He said calmly: "The Song Dynasty has its own laws. If foreigners want to settle in the Song Dynasty, it is okay, but it is not appropriate to live in large groups..."

The prime ministers and assistants were a little unswerving, but Su Shi turned a blind eye and said, "My lords, think about it, what if these people want to do something in the future?"

Zeng Gongliang thought he would say something, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If they want to make trouble and rebel, let alone the Bianliang Forbidden Army, only the Inspection Department can do it Press it down, this...hahaha!"

He thought it was a joke, but Bao Zheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think of An Lushan."

"The former Tang Dynasty was not unkind to An Lushan, but he did not hesitate to rebel. This shows that people who are not of my race must have different intentions. I think Su Shi's words are very good, and it is okay for foreign vassals to settle in the Song Dynasty , but they are not allowed to live together, otherwise if something happens in the future..."

He glanced at Zeng Gongliang and said, "Prime Minister Zeng, be prepared for danger in times of peace!"

When the peace is at its peak, the prime minister has to prepare for the subsequent period of decline. This is what makes a famous minister.

Otherwise, if they just think that the Song Dynasty will go smoothly after that, in Bao Zheng's view, those people are not worthy of being prime ministers and assistants.

Zeng Gongliang cupped his hands and said, "Yes, but I am too frivolous."

He felt that he had spoken too quickly before and had not thought thoroughly.

Zhao Shu saw that he readily admitted his mistake and said approvingly: "No one has any faults? If he does, just change them. Su Shi... what do you think?"

He glanced at Bao Zheng when he asked, and was obviously extremely satisfied with Bao Zheng's reaction.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is exactly the same as that of patients with anxiety and depression.

However, patients with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder do not like problems in their environment. Once problems arise, they must be solved immediately.

And they always have doubts and anxiety about the future, always worrying that something bad will happen in the future.

So I was anxious and depressed all day long.

This condition is very troublesome, but if you think about it differently, this condition is actually another way of being wary of danger in times of peace.

At this moment, the mentally ill Zhao Shu and the famous Song Dynasty minister Bao Zheng cherished each other.

This was the test question given by Zhao Shu. Su Shi thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, I thought that the Song Dynasty would definitely have abundant resources and treasures, so it attracted foreigners to come in droves. But what should they do when they come to the Song Dynasty? I think that the Song Dynasty should open up mind!"

Su Shi's enthusiasm seemed to be innate, and so was his atmosphere.

"The Song Dynasty is open-minded, but we cannot let them make their own decisions. For example, the Song Dynasty wants to get a piece of land in Bianliang and turn it into a settlement for foreign vassals? What is that? I think it is absolutely inappropriate!"

Zhao Shu suddenly asked: "Where is the former Tang Dynasty?"

The former Tang Dynasty really opened its mind and welcomed visitors from all walks of life.

Su Shi glanced at him in surprise and said: "But the Tang Dynasty only flourished in those years. Just like fireworks and night-blooming cereus, they were brilliant but short-lived."

"I thought that when the Song Dynasty prospered, nothing would be a problem. But can the Song Dynasty guarantee long-term prosperity in the future?"

Su Shi raised this question and then stepped aside.

Zhao Shu nodded slightly, "Yes! It has prospered, but throughout history, from the beginning of the First Emperor to the Han and Tang Dynasties, the prosperous days have become shorter and shorter. Foreign enemies will always become larger and larger, but we will become weaker... This is a Question...what does the prince think?"

The little transparent Zhao Xu was found out.

The innocent look on his face made Su Shi whisper to himself, "How come he looks so similar to An Bei?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that there will never be a country that is always strong in this world. It is impossible to have one."

This answer was frustrating. Ouyang Xiu said: "The Song Dynasty will definitely prosper for thousands of years."

Bao Zheng coughed dryly, "Don't say such things here."

If it can flourish for another two or three hundred years, it is estimated that Emperor Taizu will be able to pull it out from the tomb and excitedly drag the Han and Tang emperors to brag about how awesome their children and grandchildren are.

Everyone with reason recognized Zhao Xu's words and looked at him with approval.

"The king is sober, Your Majesty. This is a blessing for the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Shu nodded, very pleased.

Long live your majesty, long live the empire, these are all deceptions in the eyes of those in power.

Of course, the exception is when the emperor is old.

The old emperor will become fatuous, seek immortality, and seek the eternity of the empire.

But Zhao Shu is still in his prime, so he is very sober at the moment.

"As for foreign enemies, I believe that foreign enemies will never be eliminated. In the years to come, foreign enemies will continue to provoke the Song Dynasty. How should the Song Dynasty respond? I believe that civil and military forces cannot be neglected, and they also have sharp ears and eyesight."

Zhao Xu raised his head slightly, looking full of youthful vigor.

"What does it mean to have sharp ears and clear eyes?" Zhao Shu asked.

"Just to be aware of this world and see the forces other than the Song Dynasty. No matter how big or small, we must find out their strength and analyze them. If there is a threat to the Song Dynasty, then we must take action in advance..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xu reversed the situation and said, "From the perspective of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the problems in the Central Plains are basically caused by oneself. Only when oneself is corrupted can foreign enemies succeed. Therefore, I believe that it is reasonable to be strong. As for foreign enemies, go ahead. Find out about them, and then...send messengers to ask them whether they want peace or swords and guns.”

Zhao Shu's body leaned back slightly, and an uncontrollable smile spread from the corners of his mouth.

This is my son!

Han Qi's body trembled slightly as he thought of Zhao Zhen.

Taizong left a mess, and Zhenzong took over, making the mess even worse.

Zhao Zhen ascended the throne. He once had ambitions to bring the Song Dynasty away from the track of decline, but unfortunately failed.

Then there is Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu is very tough and extremely impatient.

Zhao Shu could still maintain some composure in dealing with external threats, but he refused to give in.

Taizong and Zhenzong were defeated, Renzong maintained success, and Zhao Shu began to make progress.

Where is Zhao Xu?

The king's attitude was extremely proactive. Internally, he hinted that he wanted to be proactive and could not tolerate the internal strife of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Externally, he even showed his ferocious side...

"Find them out, send an envoy, and ask them whether they want peace or swords and guns!"

Bao Zheng praised: "This is the prince of the Song Dynasty. I congratulate your majesty."

Maintain no internal friction and take the initiative.

This is Zhao Xu's political declaration.

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

The prime ministers and ministers bowed to congratulate. Zhao Shu raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "You are full of energy. Such a prince makes me happy. You have done a good job during this period, and you should go out and move around more often. Go and look outside more often." , look at the folk.”

This was a holiday for Zhao Xu, and the back door was opened, allowing him to frequently enter and leave the palace.

It seems that no prince before the Song Dynasty had received this kind of treatment, right?

This shows Zhao Shu's satisfaction and approval.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

I can finally go out and roam again!

Zhao Xu glanced at Su Shi and wondered if he could have a drinking competition with Su Shi in the afternoon.

But he felt that his chances of winning were not high.

How about... give me some medicine?

He was thinking about this issue seriously, and Su Shi felt a chill all over his body for no reason, and was a little creepy.

Who is talking about someone?

He looked around and saw that the prime ministers and assistants were very serious, and Zhao Xu was even more serious.

"Su Shi."

"I'm here."

Su Shi forgot the feeling just now and left work.

Zhao Shu looked at him and said with a smile: "When you were a third-level student, Bianliang was shocked. They said you were a rare genius in the Song Dynasty, and I thought so at the time. Later, you also made many contributions in the northwest, and even more It makes me happy, thinking about cultivating a future important minister..."

This expectation is quite high. The key is that Zhao Shu said that he has been paying attention to Su Shi, which directly moved him.

Su Shi choked with tears and said, "I... I can't repay your majesty's kindness even if my body is broken into pieces. From now on, I will work conscientiously to serve the Song Dynasty and your majesty."

"good!"

Zhao Shu looked at the ministers and said: "People say that a prosperous age must be when a wise king is in power and famous ministers gather. Looking at this court now, and looking at young people like Su Shi, I feel... the prosperous age of the Song Dynasty must not be far away. ,UUReading www.uukanshu.net Dear gentlemen, please work hard."

"yes!"

The ministers and ministers were very excited. Han Qi said: "Now that the Liao people have been defeated, I see the hope of restoring Youyan. I will wait until the Song Dynasty gradually strengthens its troops and horses, and gradually accumulates money and food. The day will come when the Song Dynasty goes north." "

As the former Third Secretary-General, Bao Zheng knew the financial situation well.

"Currently, the income of the Shipping Department is constantly growing, and the incomes of various places have increased a lot due to the Golden Fertilizer. Your Majesty, the Third Department has gradually gained a balance. In a few years, a large amount of money will be saved for food. By then..."

Jun Chen's breathing tightened, and he felt that sense of anticipation suddenly rushed up from the bottom of his heart, making his eyes hot.

Then they dispersed. As soon as Su Shi went out, he walked with Zhao Xu and said, "Your Majesty, are you going out for a drink tomorrow? I have been looking around in Bianliang recently and found a lot of places with good wine and food. Let's go and have a drink." Half a month..."

When the chamberlain nearby heard this, he felt dissatisfied and felt that he had misled Zhao Xu, so he went to complain.

Zhao Shu was talking to Chen Zhongheng: "That Su Shi has been very dissolute recently. I thought he was just so decadent. Who knew he still knew how to work hard? It can be seen that the decadence is fake. He is just looking for evidence to impeach officials. He is a promising talent. .”

The chamberlain came over in a hurry, was stopped for questioning, and was brought over later.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Shu felt relaxed and was about to go back and play a song.

The chamberlain said: "Your Majesty, just now Su Shi encouraged the king... saying that he was able to leave the palace. He looked for many places with good wine and food. He would drink for half a month..."

Zhao Shu's body shook, and he had the desire to kill.

I was just going to praise you for pretending to eat and drink everywhere, but in reality you were looking for evidence, but you soon revealed your true colors...
