Chapter 220: The Thoughts of the Monarch and the Minister
Bianjing City, the Imperial Palace's Imperial Study.
Zhao Kuangyin sat on the carved dragon chair, looking at the legendary books of 'Su Yixuan's Poetry Anthology' and 'Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties' on the table, revealing a hint of surprise.
In the past, through the intelligence of Wu Desi, he learned that there was a young scholar who could write a good word in Runzhou in the Tang Kingdom, but as the founding monarch of the country on horseback to conquer the world, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care too much.
Because of the prosperity of the times, the prosperity of the troubled times, now the five dynasties and ten countries, the division of the heroes, there are many small countries in the north and south, the grassland Khitan, the northwest party is also eyeing the tiger, therefore, Zhao Kuangyin is more focused on the goal of unifying the world, and has no time to care about what is the talent of writing words, in his opinion, it is not of much use.
Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty wrote the first poem in the world, what if he had the name of a poet? Has he made any contribution to the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty, can he save the trend of decline in the Tang Dynasty, and can he stop the Anshi Rebellion?
What Zhao Kuangyin is thinking about now is how to conquer the small country of Fanbang, sweep the world, stabilize the people everywhere, live a life of food and clothing, and no longer be displaced and suffer from five generations of war.
But today's prime minister Zhao Pu, who took these two books into the palace, also carried blue and white porcelain and soap, and reported to Zhao Kuangyin about the recent changes in the Southern Tang Dynasty in terms of words and business, which made this Zhao official show a look of surprise.
Zhao Kuangyin commented: "Words are good words, words are good words, this Su Chen Su Yixuan is really a great talent, but after all, he is a weak scholar, and it is useless to put it in the south of the Yangtze River in the waning mountains, right?" ”
Zhao Pu smiled slightly and said: "Official, this Su Chen and Su Yixuan are not only learning poetry, please look at these things!" ”
He introduced Qingbai porcelain and soap and soap to Zhao Kuangyin, and explained their respective characteristics and functions, which were all items that were not available in the Song Kingdom.
After Zhao Kuangyin saw it, he said: "Qingbai porcelain is more special and appreciative than the celadon and white porcelain tributed by the Tang Kingdom in Jiangnan; And this soap, you can wash your hands and bathe, soap can wash clothes and stains, there are indeed some ways, but these are useless in state affairs, what do you want to tell me? ”
Zhao Pu shook his head and said: "Official, such a talented man, who writes words is unique in the world, and at the same time can make blue and white porcelain, soap and soap, which can help businessmen make a lot of profits." Perhaps in the near future, because of these new things, the Tang State will do business with the vassal states and conduct business and trade overseas, and the depleting treasury of the Tang State is likely to continue to recover, and the national strength will increase, and this matter has to be highly concerned! ”
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he fell into deep thought, he just thought about poetry and luxury goods, but he couldn't benefit the people and couldn't help him calm the world, so he didn't care, but he didn't take into account that there was business behind this.
His gaze became deep, he was silent for a moment, and when he looked at Zhao Pu again, his expression was already awe-inspiring.
"Thanks to the Prime Minister for reminding me, this person should not be underestimated!" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly became interested in this Su Chen and Su Yixuan in his heart.
A scholar who can write splendid poems, he feels dispensable, and he doesn't care when he conquers the world.
But a scholar with such a poetic talent can make blue and white porcelain, soap and soap, and if he can make many new items that change the lives of the people, then any court needs this kind of practical talent!
The prosperity of goods represents commerce and economy, even if it is a luxury, it can also harvest the money of the world's rich squires and powerful princes, and earn it back to the treasury for the use of the imperial court, which is a way to make money.
He didn't know that Su Yixuan had these qualities before, but now that he learned about it, coupled with Zhao Pu's reminder, he naturally paid attention to it in his heart.
Zhao Pu smiled slightly, as long as his suggestion was reasonable, the official Zhao Kuangyin would generally accept it, because the friendship between the two was too deep.
The first time he and Zhao Kuangyin met was Chuzhou Club, and after the two got acquainted, they became confidants and had a good relationship. Later, Zhao Kuangyin's brothers led the troops outside, and Zhao Pu was Zhao Kuangyin's bedridden father, serving the decoction on the side of the bed for many months, and fulfilling his filial piety for Zhao Kuangyin.
The seven plans behind Chen Qiao, the launch of the Chen Qiao Mutiny, and then the release of military power with a glass of wine, many of Zhao Kuangyin's key events are Zhao Pu's advice, and he participates in it.
Just this year, after Zhao Kuangyin stabilized the situation in the Song State, he deposed the three prime ministers Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, who continued to the Song Dynasty in the Later Zhou Dynasty, all of whom were the ministers of the Later Zhou Chai Rongtuo, after the Chen Qiao Mutiny, many Later Zhou ministers were controlled, and Fan Zhen and others were the prime ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and they were threatened and had to be forced to support Zhao Kuangyin.
Now Zhao Kuangyin has pacified some of the rebellion of the generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty, stabilized the domestic situation, and controlled the ministers of the DPRK and China, so he dismissed all the three prime ministers of the DPRK and China at one time, and appointed Zhao Pu as his subordinate squire, Ping Zhangshi, and Jixian Hall Scholar, and Zhao Pu was promoted to the prime minister's position, and he was a single minister!
Over the years, Zhao Kuangyin was born as a military general after all, and his temper will be irritable at every turn, and thanks to Zhao Pu's advice and advice, he often comforts and advises, which makes Zhao Kuangyin more and more mature, and now he has become the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he relies more on Zhao Pu, and he still attaches great importance to the opinions he puts forward.
Zhao Kuangyin groaned: "I will let Wu Desi's spy network in Jiangnan pay close attention to this person's movements and the changes in the Tang Kingdom!" ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu smiled and encouraged, although he usually calls the word official, but sometimes, it will be more solemn to address His Majesty.
Zhao Kuangyin put down the collection of poems, looked at Zhao Pu, and asked, "This prime minister has been in office for a month, have you adapted to it?" ”
Zhao Pu said politely: "Back to the official's house, the minister is still adapting, and he is in charge of the six departments, and the matter is big, after all, the minister has no experience before." ”
"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuangyin smiled heartily and said: "Look at me, I have no experience as a son of heaven before, isn't this also doing well, and I have to do better, comparable to those historical emperors!" ”
Zhao Pu said with a smile: "A mortal, how can he compare with the Son of Heaven of the Founding Lord!" The minister knows that his wisdom and talent are limited, and he should try his best to make up for it by the day after tomorrow and be a competent prime minister. ”
Invisibly slapped another sycophant, even if Zhao Kuangyin is a wise and martial monarch, but if he is praised, no one is too much, and he smiled quite comfortably.
"The two deputies you matched, Lu Yuqing and Xue Juzheng, are still competent, right?" Zhao Kuangyin asked again.
Zhao Pu replied: "It's okay, the ability and talent are okay." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I have summoned the two of them separately and mentioned to them that they will not be allowed to take charge of the Great Seal, and they will not be allowed to be the foremen of the courtiers, and they will not be allowed to play alone, just be your deputy." In the future, the big and small affairs of the court and the central government, we will just decide on the two of us; When the time comes, you write a recital, and I will draw a circle for you to approve it, and you can pass it. ”
Zhao Pu smiled bitterly in his heart, this is too rash, although he is grateful to Zhao Kuangyin for respecting him so much and trusting him, but he didn't dare to accept the order, and arched his hand: "Official, this is not appropriate, the emperor can't just draw a circle and approve the red, the imperial court has rules and regulations and procedures for various edicts, and there are only two people in the official family and the minister, and the world is decided." ”
Zhao Kuangyin saw what he said righteously, nodded slightly, and it was just a half-joke, expressing his trust in Zhao Pu, since the other party knew the general situation so well, knew how to advance and retreat, and was not arrogant or impatient, it made him quite satisfied.
