Chapter 411: Talking about State Affairs
Lu Defu drank a few glasses of wine, and gradually felt hot all over, and his mind began to dizzy. When he was on the verge of being drunk or not, his mind was also sober, so Lu Defu became bold, looked at Song Huizong, and began to think about how he should lead the troops, how to attack, and how to defend.
Cai Nu looked at Xianggong from time to time, and when she saw his happy face, she silently thought in her heart: "Xianggong is very happy now, and he actually made the emperor praise him." How many scholars can have seen such a scene? Except for the prime minister, there is no one else who can be praised by the emperor.
Song Huizong drank a few cups, and then said to everyone: "Ministers, what do you think the imperial court should do in the future?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, but did not answer.
Seeing this, Song Huizong waved his hand, and then said, "Relax, don't be so restrained." This is your home. ”
Everyone still looked at each other, but they were all sluggish, and then several people arched their hands and said: "The emperor loves the people like a son, and he cares for us ministers." We're so happy. ”
Song Huizong waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'm tired of hearing your old-fashioned words." Hey, don't you have any good comments to mention? Minister, you have to look like a minister. Who, you say. ”
Song Huizong pointed at a random point and pointed at a minister.
When the man heard this, he stood up and hurriedly saluted the emperor and said: "The emperor is sacred, we should follow the emperor in the future, establish a great dynasty of rejuvenation, and also create a prosperous era, which is far higher than the rule of Zhenguan in the past." Kaiyuan prosperous. ”
Song Huizong said: "I already knew this. Can you not be so general? Let's be more nuanced. ”
The man looked up at the emperor, puzzled for a moment, and said, "What." Meticulous? ”
Song Huizong waved his hand, then shook his head with him and said, "Oh, forget it, you sit down." I couldn't say a whole sentence for a long time. ”
Li Qingzhao had been listening to it on the sidelines, and when he heard the words at this time, he secretly thought in his heart: "If you don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense." Adults look very old-fashioned. ”
Zhao Mingcheng leaned into the lady's ear. He whispered to the lady: "Why can't he talk well?" Net nonsense. ”
Li Qingzhao looked at Xianggong, pursed his lips, and didn't speak. just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then signaled to the minister, the emperor is above, don't talk too much.
Zhao Mingcheng felt bored again. So go back. He stopped talking.
Song Huizong lowered his head and was distressed for a moment, thinking that his bold words would arouse everyone's pride! But who knows that when you call a person, you answer yourself like this, which is really disappointing to yourself.
Scratching his head, Song Huizong immediately faced everyone again, and said disappointedly: "Why don't you speak?" I'm still young, and I don't know much yet. So I need you to evaluate it. Or maybe some suggestions. Who of you is talking? ”
The old ministers of Yuanyou looked at each other, and they all felt that they had just been called back. Don't talk nonsense, if you talk about the emperor's sore spots, it will be uncomfortable. Therefore they all shut their mouths and did not speak.
Cai Jing watched from the side, and then said to the person behind him: "Why, Fang Cai is all arrogant, why is no one talking now?" ”
Song Huizong shook his head and said, "It's really boring." ”
Cai Jing said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's humble opinion, we are now very strong. No one dares to invade us in the west and in the north. Therefore, we don't have to be frightened birds, wouldn't this be a loss of our Han demeanor? After the Yuanyuan, we made peace with the Khitan on the surface, but in fact, we were competing with each other behind the scenes, and no one would let anyone. Now, after so many years, their national power is declining day by day. And we've been thriving. ”
Song Huizong gave a thumbs up to Lord Cai and smiled with him: "Okay, Lord Cai said this well. I love to hear it. It's just that we are still under their eyes after all, and this is always uncomfortable. The rivers and mountains left by the first emperor must not be coveted by their barbarian clan all the time. I don't feel at ease, I always have to give them a demonstration, so that they don't dare to bully us, and they don't even dare to think about it, that's good. ”
Cai Jing nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor's words have made the old minister have new ideas." The emperor wants to give their barbarians a dismount to show the strength of our Han people, doesn't he? ”
Song Huizong slapped the table and laughed: "Exactly." I've been on the throne for so long, and I haven't tasted the tribute they have given us! ”
Cai Jing said: "Well, now we can also take the initiative to find them and demonstrate to them." ”
Song Huizong said: "So, do you want to fight?" ”
Cai Jing shook his head and said, "No, once the war starts, it will cost the people and money, and it will attract the attention of other barbarians around." Therefore, we still have to show them the financial and material resources of our Central Plains people, and let them come to see it, because when our land is vast and rich, they will be afraid and will no longer dare to provoke us. ”
Song Huizong lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense." ”
When Li Qingzhao heard this, he secretly thought in his heart: "Lord Cai advocates peace, and it is reasonable, but once the barbarians in the north insist on invading us, we must not take precautions." ”
Lu Defu got up at this time and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty." ”
Song Huizong frowned, and then said, "Oh? Mr. Lu, do you have anything to say? ”
Cai Nuxin knew that Xiang Gong had always been reluctant to listen to his father, and now that his father had just finished speaking, Xiang Gong got up, presumably to refute his father's words. Therefore, Cai Nu couldn't help but be frightened, thinking that Xianggong was going to speak disrespectfully!
But now that Xianggong has stood up, it is not good for him to drag Xianggong anymore, he still stares at Xianggong, but he has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know what Xianggong wants to say.
Lu Defu looked at his father-in-law, and said to the emperor: "The emperor is clear, what my father-in-law said is really reasonable. If you use a knife, you will always work for the people and lose money, which is not good for the country and the people. Therefore, we still have to show the demeanor of our Han people, and we don't have to pay much attention to a small clan like the Khitan party.
But if anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone. If anyone sins against me, I will offend. It's not a day or two that they covet our Central Plains. We had to guard against it. Back then, Dongpo Gong had a bold statement, looking northwest, shooting the wolf. Dev didn't dare to compare himself to Dongpo Gong. But he also thought that Defu dared to do his best to serve the imperial court. If they have any disrespect for us, we must give them a color. ”
Song Huizong's face was full of energy, and then he nodded with Lu Defu and said, "Well, Lu Gongzi said this well, and it went to my heart." I thought so, too. Lu Gongzi, don't worry. I know that you are a martial artist, and if I really use your place, I will definitely use you well. ”
Cai Jing heard this. I secretly thought in my heart: "This kid doesn't know how thick the sky is, but fortunately he didn't tear his face with the old man, and the old man doesn't have to worry about him." ”
Song Huizong laughed loudly: "You see, you see." The young people are full of spirit. Dare to speak and dare to speak. There are so many of you ministers, why don't you know how to say a few words? You too, when people are old, are they old hearts? ”
When all the ministers heard this, they all got up busily, and then kowtowed: "Weichen is not talented, so the emperor has been disappointed." ”
Song Huizong waved his hand, and then said, "Get up." I'm tired of all you saying such things. Ah. I'm a young man, and I can't talk to you old men. This one...... Rise up first. ”
The ministers looked forward to each other, and then they all said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Then the crowd slowly got up, and then sat back.
Song Huizong looked around, wondering in his heart, why didn't anyone dare to talk to him? It's boring.
Where his gaze swept, there seemed to be two familiar figures. Song Huizong's eyes were certain, and then he laughed, pointed to Zhao Mingcheng, and smiled with him: "Zhao Gongzi, are you here?" Why don't you say a word for a long time? ”
Zhao Mingcheng is still staring at his wife, where does he pay attention to the emperor's words?
Li Qingzhao was surprised, turned his face to look at Xianggong, but saw him staring at him with a confused look, and felt uncomfortable when he was all over, and then hurriedly said to Xianggong: "Xianggong, the emperor called you!" ”
Zhao Mingcheng smiled: "What? ”
Suddenly woke up, Zhao Mingcheng stood up, looked at the emperor, his heart was in a mess, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty." ”
Song Huizong said: "Hey, Zhao Gongzi, I have seen you before. Now you and Miss Li have rebuilt the old one. How am I treating you? ”
Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly said: "The emperor's grace, Mingcheng will never forget it for the rest of his life." ”
Song Huizong nodded and said, "Well, I'm very satisfied." In this case, you can tell me what we should do if we want to create a prosperous era in the future. ”
Zhao Mingcheng was stupid all of a sudden, what created a prosperous world? What does it have to do with yourself?
Song Huizong hurriedly comforted: "That, Zhao Gongzi, you don't have to panic, just say whatever you want." ”
Zhao Mingcheng looked at the lady and didn't know what to say.
Li Qingzhao said anxiously: "What should I do?" Xiang Gong is stupid and can't speak. ”
Zhao Mingcheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mingcheng only knows calligraphy, painting, gold and stone, and he doesn't know anything about how to govern the country." ”
Song Huizong said: "I also like gold and stone calligraphy and painting. Why, don't you have anything to say? ”
Zhao Mingcheng reached out and touched his head, his heart was confused, he didn't know what to say, he looked extremely embarrassed, and it was really difficult to match his son-in-law identity.
Zhao Tingzhi hurriedly got up and said to the emperor: "The emperor is gracious, the dog doesn't know the etiquette, and he actually offended the emperor." ”
Turning around, Zhao Tingzhi said to Ming Cheng again: "Bastard, you kneel down quickly and ask the emperor for guilt." ”
Zhao Mingcheng listened to his father's words and knelt down.
Song Huizong waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I don't blame you." Hmph, since you can't speak, I won't force you anymore. Zhao Gongzi, you get up. Lord Zhao, you don't have to ask for guilt, I don't blame him. ”
Zhao Tingzhi was sweating profusely, so he slowly got up and went back to sit down.
Song Huizong pointed at Li Qingzhao and smiled with her: "Hehe, Miss Li, you are known as a talented girl in the capital, so can you tell me?" ”
When Li Gefei heard this, he concentrated his attention and thought to himself: "It's bad, what does my daughter say?" ”
Turning his head to look at his daughter, Li Gefei was ready to ask the emperor for his guilt.
Li Qingzhao also expected in his heart that the emperor was definitely going to call himself up, but in fact, he had been thinking about it in his heart, brewing thoughts, and didn't know what to say. Now that the emperor suddenly called himself up, he couldn't help but be a little panicked!
Song Huizong pointed at Miss Li and smiled with her: "Miss Li, don't lose my interest. Tell me about it. ”
Li Qingzhao's eyebrows, although he was still a little flustered, but then his eyes moved, he calmed down, looked up and looked ahead, or lowered his gaze, looked at the table in front of the emperor, in order to show respect for the emperor, paused for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "The emperor appreciates Qingzhao, Qingzhao will say that according to Qingzhao's humble opinion, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to prosper, it must be strong both inside and outside." ”
As soon as Song Huizong saw Miss Li's appearance, he knew that she had something to say, so he immediately became interested, nodded and said, "Well, tell me, how can you be strong inside and outside?" ”
Li Qingzhao said seriously: "Qingzhao thinks that if the family and country are strong, the monarchs and ministers will be harmonious and work together for the people. Outside, the general is capable, and the strong general has no weak soldiers, so they don't dare to mess around with the Khitan party. In this way, wouldn't the family and country be strong and prosperous? ”
Song Huizong nodded and said, "Well, Miss Li is really extraordinary. I am very relieved that Miss Li's poetry book has not been read in vain. Okay, strong inside and out, well, I got it. ”
Li Qingzhao continued: "Now that the emperor's grace is vast, and all the old ministers of Yuanyou have been recalled, then it is necessary to use talents. The old law must be observed, and the law must be changed appropriately. In this way, won't we be strong? ”
Song Huizong pointed at Miss Li and said, "Well, you're so right. Okay, I'll listen to you and appoint the wise. ”
Li Qingzhao thought to himself: "Daddy's official position has been retained now." ”
Li Gefei thought to himself: "Well, my daughter is so eloquent. The old man was very relieved. ”
Thinking like this, Li Gefei put his mind at ease. Mother Li was also relieved.
Cai Nu thought to herself: "Sister-in-law is also a heroine, I can't see it, Yun'er just thinks that she will only be tender and sweet!" ”
Song Huizong laughed and said: "Happy today, I didn't talk to your ministers, but I listened to the words of these peers, I was really happy." Well, there is nothing else to do today, so I want to make friends with you and get closer. Now we are in the same room, and we are a family. In the future, they will also need to work together for the imperial court. In the world of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't rely on me alone. Did you know? ”
All the old ministers said: "Wechen is willing to do his best to ensure that my emperor is forever." ”
Song Huizong waved his hand and said, "It's really boring to say this again." Okay, okay, let's eat, no more talk. ”
Li Qingzhao looked at Xianggong, and saw that he was still flustered, and sneered in his heart: "Look at your unproductive appearance." ”
Zhao Mingcheng thought to himself: "The lady is really good at talking. Alas! Mingcheng won't speak. My mouth is so stupid! (To be continued.) )
