A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1874: Show off, Prince

There is a small palace in the harem, which houses the ancestral tablets of the Zhao family.

There is constant incense here all year round, and there is a dedicated person in charge.

Chen Zhongheng stood outside the palace, talking quietly to the chamberlain in charge.

"There's nothing happening here?" Chen Zhongheng always felt that the emperor was a god, so the spirit should appear after the immortal passed away. "No words? The tablet was not moved?"

Thinking of someone talking insidiously in the empty hall, the tablets were placed automatically without any wind... The waiter looked like he wanted to die, "Really not."

Too many people have asked this question. Everyone thinks that after the emperor died, he would descend to earth and squat on the memorial tablet to look at the Song Dynasty and his descendants, but it really didn’t happen!

But after being asked too many questions, he felt a chill running down his spine every time he went in to spread some incense. He always felt that those tablets were dead emperors staring at him.

The tablets are arranged along the line of seniority, the thick incense is burning slowly, the smoke of the world is rising, and the smoke column is straight.

"Some people say that people who have passed away can enjoy incense, so I have people burn incense every day. If the ancestors cannot enjoy it, they can entrust me with their dreams."

The memorial tablet is placed on a large table, with a futon in front for people to kneel and worship.

Zhao Shu sat cross-legged on the futon, put his hands on his knees, and his eyes were full of confidence, "The people from the Imperial City Department reported that the navy went to sea all the way and encountered the cannibals and Seljuk people in Dashi. The coalition forces, I was afraid! I was afraid that something would happen to Dalang..."

"The landing of the navy was a fight. The enemy troops were repulsed, but a large number of reinforcements were behind. Dalang did not flinch. Then there was a fight between 70,000 and 30,000. Ancestors, these are the 30,000 of the Song Dynasty!"

There was more pride in Zhao Shu's eyes, "This is a battle commanded by Dalang. He defeated a powerful enemy and caused the enemy to flee. This is the first time that the Song Dynasty has shown its power outside the territory, and I think it will not be the last time."

"Seljuk... They said they were a powerful country in the west, and they were very powerful, but the Song Dynasty defeated them with 30,000, with 70,000. Our firearms swept through everything, unstoppable. If it were not for the need to drive away tigers and devour wolves, countless aliens would be defeated at this moment. The prisoners are already on their way to Bianliang, what is this?"

Zhao Shu looked up at the tablets and said firmly: "This is glory! The centuries of humiliation of the Song Dynasty should be washed away with this kind of glory. In this way, after I die, I can talk to my ancestors with peace of mind." "

"Someone asked where the Song Dynasty will go. I was thinking that the Song Dynasty should go to a wider place and become more spacious as it goes, instead of stumbling along a narrow path..."

Outside, Chen Zhongheng squatted beside him and said, "Do you think there are ghosts and gods in this world?"

The waiter said: "I'm afraid there are some."

"Yes." Chen Zhongheng nodded, "Some people say that death is like a lamp going out, and I believe this."

The chamberlain asked curiously: "Then you still say you believe in ghosts and gods?"

"Yes!" Chen Zhongheng said with emotion; "But every time I see those tablets, I feel that my ancestors must have spirits. Didn't Shen An say that only we can continue to pass on the inheritance for thousands of years? I feel that this is It is the protection of our ancestors. No matter what disaster we encounter, we can always rise again. What is this if not the protection of our ancestors?"

The waiter thought for a while, "But I feel that we can survive those catastrophes because our bones are strong! We have been knocked down time and time again, and we have stood up again and again."

Chen Zhongheng frowned and said, "That's right! I was reading history books recently and saw that after the decline of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the foreign invasion was so miserable! I thought we were about to be destroyed and there would be no more news. But look, it didn't take long before we were again Get up, you can see... What did Shen An say? This is civilization and culture. We have such civilization and culture, which is rooted in our bones and blood. No matter how difficult it is, we can always stand up."

Several servants came outside. Seeing the hurry, Chen Zhongheng stood up and waved.

Several chamberlains ran over upon seeing this, their footsteps making a lot of noise.

"... What I have done in the past few years, not to mention too much, is the New Deal. Why the New Deal? It's because the Song Dynasty is about to decline. For this reason... San Rong is one, and among them is the Zhenzong Emperor..."

Zhao Shu cupped his hands and said to the memorial tablet of Emperor Zhenzong: "Don't blame Emperor Zhenzong." Then he said proudly: "When Emperor Zhenzong was here, he had many redundant officials, and later it became a common practice for Yin officials... But these But it was not the main reason for the decline of the Song Dynasty. I think the decline of the Song Dynasty came from those scholar-bureaucrats, who were too greedy..."

"The late emperor also implemented the New Deal, but it was not fierce enough." Zhao Shu proudly handed over the memorial tablet of the late emperor Zhao Shu, "Those scholar-bureaucrats are hugely powerful. If they want to implement the New Deal, they must have the Forbidden Army in their hands, and they must have people around them who dare to take action. man of.

If I dared to employ people, I used Han Qi to support him, so he became domineering and made the scholar-bureaucrats miserable. I also reused Shen An and got rid of the miscellaneous studies to show those scholar-bureaucrats who only know articles and poems. Without them, I can also take on the responsibility of the Song Dynasty! "

Zhao Shu solemnly said: "They are afraid. Beimang Newspaper has crushed Huiying Newspaper. They are frustrated and restless, but they dare not force the palace again. Why? Because they are afraid that I will continue to promote miscellaneous studies everywhere. By then, even if Even if we break up, I dare to pull out the Forbidden Army. If anyone dares to rebel, the whole family will take it down and rush overseas to farm!"

His eyes were sharp, and his emotions gradually became excited, "You will definitely say that I am too impulsive, and that those scholar-bureaucrats are the backbone of the Song Dynasty, but what they did is not the backbone? I think they are the backbone that holds us back!"

What are you afraid of? If they dare to take action again this time, I will ask schools in various places to spend more time teaching miscellaneous subjects. I will hold the Forbidden Army to see who is afraid of whom! "

He raised his head and said very proudly: "This is the key point of the New Deal. I am not bragging. If the late emperor had been bolder and more ruthless, the New Deal during the Qingli Period would not have failed so miserably."

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Shu was bragging enthusiastically with his ancestors. After being interrupted, he turned around with a dark face.

Chen Zhongheng came in, "Your Majesty, the king has returned to Beijing!"

The dark face immediately turned into a red face, and Zhao Shu said happily: "Let him come quickly!"

Chen Zhongheng looked at this place and said hesitantly: "Guan family, here?"

This is the place where the memorial tablets are placed. Let the king who has returned from the victory come here? Isn't it appropriate?

Zhao Shu cursed: "Go quickly!"

Chen Zhongheng ran away all the way.

Zhao Xu had already entered the imperial city. After hearing the news, the ministers came out to greet him.

"I've met the king!"

Zhao Xu's face looked darker and calmer. He nodded and said, "Is the official here?"

It is a rule to meet the saint first when you come back.

Han Qi said: "The officials have received the news and will definitely give orders later. May I ask the king, how was your trip?"

Shen An, the wicked and smoky man, was drinking and having fun in Yueyang Tower, but he didn't even know to send someone to report the news, which made the ministers and ministers feel anxious.

The officials actually got the news, but they refused to tell it and didn't know what they were doing.

"This trip defeated the Seljuk and Dashi coalition forces, and the two countries surrendered!"

Zhao Xu raised his head slightly, his slightly dark face full of majesty.

Han Qi was startled, "Did they surrender? May I ask your Majesty, how was this battle?"

"Our army is 30,000, and the coalition army is 70,000. Our army is victorious!"

He was about to talk about the situation of this battle in detail when Chen Zhongheng rushed over and said, "I have seen your Majesty. The officials have orders. Your Majesty, please come with me."

After that he took a breath and then returned to normal. The waiter behind him was panting like a dog. He vowed to practice running hard when he came back, and he would be better next time.

Zhao Xu agreed and followed him in.

Han Qi looked confused, "This... where should I wait?"

This is a great victory! But the officials only summoned the king and left us here. What does this mean?

Zeng Gongliang did not have this dissatisfaction. He said excitedly: "Those people said that the outcome of this battle was uncertain, and they were always worried about the revenge of Seljuk and Dashi. But now our army has won a great victory, and overseas is now stable. From then on, merchant ships went to sea for trade, and naval forces Escort, these thousands of miles of sea waves all belong to the Song Dynasty, how magnificent!"

Han Qi stroked his beard and smiled and said: "After this battle, the sea route is safe. Shen An said back then that the Song Dynasty needs to walk on two legs by sea route. Now it is considered a success. I am happy in my heart."

Bao Zheng said: "I am even more happy that the king has returned from the expedition and is becoming more and more calm."

Han Qi nodded and couldn't hide his joy and said: "Your Majesty's great victory in the expedition is a shock to those enemies with ulterior motives and makes them afraid. When the news spreads, the whole Song Dynasty will cheer and they will feel that this Song Dynasty There will be a long and prosperous life.”

The Song Dynasty had been weak for a hundred years and had only gradually risen in recent years. However, the people still felt a little unsure and worried that such good days would be interrupted by foreign enemies at any time.

Now that the future emperor's expedition is successful, this tells everyone: rest assured, the next emperor of the Song Dynasty can still protect the safety of the Song Dynasty.

This sense of security is more effective than anything else and can make Da Song's innovation more and more stable.

"I want to know the details of this battle, but..." Han Qi looked at the palace and said angrily: "Go and ask the officials why they haven't discussed the matter yet!"

Zhao Shu was not thinking about discussing matters now. After Zhao Xu arrived, UU Reading www.uukanshu.nett he waved, "My son, come in."

Zhao Xu saluted, and after entering, Zhao Shu said: "Salute to the ancestors."

Zhao Xu bowed as he was told, and Zhao Shu stood on the side and said: "Our ancestors, from the Song Dynasty to the present, have been in prosperity for more than a hundred years, but the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties often does not last long. I think it has something to do with the emperors. The emperors became dim in their later years. , it can be seen that great talents and generals like the Han Dynasty are not exempt from vulgarity."

He saluted and then said: "Emperors are stupid and often regard the prince as an enemy. I was also worried that one day I would be like this, so I ordered the prince to go on an expedition, and it turned out to be a great victory. The prince was quite prestigious, and the ministers praised him. From then on, I was considered stupid. ...The ministers will also support the prince..."

The ministers of the Song Dynasty were different from those of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Once they felt that something was wrong, the emperor would not try to enforce it.

Zhao Xu was shocked, and regardless of etiquette, he looked up at his father.

Zhao Shu said piously: "If the prosperous age is to continue, the prince should be the number one. The predecessors should not innovate and the future generations should be conservative. It is difficult to continue such a prosperous age... Today, I have something to tell my ancestor, Prince Zhao Xu..."

Zhao Xu saluted with more and more tears in his eyes.

Zhao Shu kowtowed, "Prince Zhao Xu... As the prince, I beg my ancestors to protect this child so that he will have no worries..."

"Daddy!"

Zhao Xu thought this expedition was just for training, but only then did he realize that it was actually for him to accumulate prestige.

He kowtowed, "My child dare not!"

"My son, because my father has cleared away those foreign enemies for you, you can be considered a holy king."

Zhao Shu reached out and touched the top of his head and smiled.

Zhao Xu looked up, tears streaming down his face.
