Chapter 976: The First Emperor's Question

After the turmoil, the dynasty dispersed, and no one cared about the fate of the three imperial histories anymore.

And Su You was left behind by Zhao Ji, and Junchen played it alone.

Tantric performance, in the side hall outside Zhao Ji's dormitory, this is a place that has never been visited by a foreign minister.

Zhao Ji's residence is actually quite simple, but it is more convenient, which is the credit of Su Youkai's interior design.

There is a Renzong who is reluctant to change the old bedding in front of him, and Zhao Ji's simple residence also makes Su You unsurprised.

Zhao Ji looked at Su You for a long time: "Actually, I still like the Su Mingrun on the outside and inside." ”

Su You smiled: "It was above the court just now, in fact, the minister himself also likes the one inside the secret fold outside." ”

Zhao Ji was amused, and was amused by Su You's strange statement: "Listening to what you say, it's really the original Su Mingrun." ”

Su You replied: "The minister has always been himself, but the public is the public, the private is the private, even if it is on the outside road, Zhang Song is just like that in the court, and in the secret fold to His Majesty, it is some trivial and private matters." ”

Zhao Ji was happy again, and only after laughing did he say solemnly: "The days still go by quickly, Mingrun, you have worked hard all these years." ”

Su You also said solemnly: "Your Majesty has a few letters, in fact, since the prince left, His Majesty has really worked hard. ”

Zhao Ji pursed his lips, as if he was a little touched, among the ministers, everyone thought that the emperor was the Son of Heaven and worked hard for the country, which was a matter of course, and the kind that did not work was undoubtedly a faint monarch.

It is impossible for the words "you are hard" to come out of the mouth of any other courtier, who will only advise the king to be diligent and do what they themselves cannot do.

But this simple sentence made Zhao Ji feel a burst of warmth in his heart.

It is impossible to admit it with his stubborn character, and traditional people think that it will make them appear a little weak.

Hurry up to the point: "I read your article every day, and the more I read, the more frightened I become, it turns out that there are still so many problems in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Su You said: "Your Majesty, those are of course problems, but since we see it, we will find a way to solve it." ”

"With Your Majesty's wisdom, I will not be reminded. or the cadres are arbitrary, or they entrust the ministers, and they can always handle it well. ”

"What the minister wants to say now is the real advice to His Majesty."

None of the problems in the strip are problems, what could be more serious than those?

Zhao Ji solemnly changed his direction: "Mingrun, you just say." ”

Su You looked at Zhao Ji and said seriously: "It's about the minister's net worth and life, and the minister didn't want to say it, because if you don't say it, the government can do the same." ”

"But today, the Empress Dowager is so protective that Su You feels inexplicably ashamed, so Su You still wants to say it."

Zhao Ji suddenly thought of what the Empress Dowager Cao had said to herself back then, a courtier like Su You is really wise and capable, he only needs to move his mind casually, and he can live better than others.

This leads to the fact that what others can only get through hard work is easy for him, but he has developed a character of no desire and no desire.

Such a loose person, there is no shortage of money, and it is never uncommon for official titles and lords, so why should he go all out to assist the king?

Fortunately, he attaches great importance to affection, and only through affection, the monarch and the minister can get his death force.

Zhao Ji always thought that he had done a good job, but the Empress Dowager still remembered the poems Su You wrote when she was six years old, which made Zhao Ji secretly sigh that she was still not as good as her old man.

Hurriedly said: "Ming Run's words are serious, even if the virtuous ministers of the past dynasties, it is difficult to match your achievements, and I am not a faint king, how can I not know?" ”

"You, the young protector, were set by me a long time ago, but it's a pity that the sons are blessed and have not been taught."

"I see that the flat tank is witty and smart, and Mingrun's education is also brought out of the mother's womb? In the future, my children will also be handed over to you to take care of, and you can't refuse. ”

"Now that I have only been taught, how can I blame it?"

Su You hurriedly bowed down, and didn't dare to refuse, so he had to say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your attention." What the minister wants to say is actually very simple - Your Majesty, who has been in power for ten years, do you still remember what kind of mood you felt at the beginning of your ascension? ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment.

In the ten years since he ascended the throne, he has been making progress every day, studying hard to deal with political affairs, studying the rules and regulations, and studying the scriptures of the saints.

For old ministers such as Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and Lu Gong, they all respect each other, or hope to get their recognition and teachings.

Gradually, in the process of studying, in the differences in the ideas of the ministers, Zhao Ji established his own three views.

After Wang Anshi left, Zhao Ji began to actually take full control of the government, and gradually showed his ability and courage in the struggle with the rulers.

It can be said that the current ministers are all deliberately promoted by him, and the biggest reason why they can become the rulers is only two words - obedient.

Now this change has been supported by Wang Anshi's will and Zhao Ji; It has become Zhao Ji's will, and there is only execution at the bottom, no support.

Most of the people who support him are people like Cai Qu and Li Ding, these people have no lofty political ideals at all, and there is only one reason for supporting Zhao Ji - to stay in the position and be lucky.

The generation with ideals has withered away.

So when Zhao Ji read the sentence "The height is not cold" in Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head: When Will the Bright Moon Be There", he would sigh like this: "Su Shi is loyal to the monarch after all." ”

A question made Zhao Ji sigh: "I am weak in virtue and incompetent, and the first gentleman will return to the mountains early." At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, there was not one out of ten canglios, the people lived in difficulty, foreign enemies were arrogant, and the courtiers were suspicious and uneasy. ”

"If the military armor is not trained, the taxes will be exhausted, and the trouble of three redundancies will be difficult to get up."

"I was trembling, for fear that if I made a mistake, the country would never recover. I need the help of a virtuous minister. ”

"When Lu Gongshu told me that An Shi Xianggong finally agreed to go out of the mountain, do you know how happy I was? It turned out that I was not abandoned by God, and Da Song was not abandoned by God, and God finally sent Da Song a person who could save the situation. ”

"I entrusted the affairs of the country to him, and followed him to learn humbly. Wang Xianggong's proposal to change the law made me very excited. ”

"The people do not give more, but the country uses enough. What a beautiful promise that is? ”

"However, what I didn't expect was that the political differences between the gentlemen in my mind would be so big."

"Including you, there are so many opinions on Wang Xianggong's claims."

"Who's right? No one was able to help me with the answer, so I had to find the answer myself. ”

"I've been groping for ten years, and the current situation of Da Song makes me feel that we have finally found a right path."

"If we continue along this great road, the country will become strong, the people will become happy, our internal affairs will be straightened out, and our external enemies will be eliminated. The Great Song Dynasty will eventually reproduce the prosperous atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and you and I will eventually be recorded in history forever with great achievements! ”

"Mingrun, am I right?"

Su You arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is right, you are in the court, I am on the outside road, after ten years, everyone has grown up." ”

"But Your Majesty, you have become confident because you have grown up, but you have forgotten the mood when you took the throne."

"Science believes that contradictions will always exist, and it will not disappear, but will only transform."

"Even if your ideals are fully realized, contradictions will still exist and will be transformed into new contradictions."

"The contradictions at that time will be transformed into contradictions between the various ethnic groups in the Great Song Dynasty; the contradiction between central decrees and local governance; land contradictions brought about by population boom; class contradictions caused by the disparity between the rich and the poor; the contradiction between the new wealthy class and the traditional nobles; the contradiction between the great profits of industry and the small profits of agriculture; the contradiction between the laziness of officials and the urgent needs of the people; The contradiction of uneven development in various regions and huge income disparities among the people......"

"So Your Majesty, if you solve an old problem, a lot of new problems will arise, and in the face of these new situations and new problems that you have never encountered before, will the skills and methods you have exercised in solving the old problems definitely be applicable?"

"The first emperor Fen VI Yu Lie solved the huge contradictions that the ancestors did not solve, and realized the great unification of the country."

"However, new contradictions followed, and the First Emperor continued to follow the previous national policy, but the result was not only not resolved, but led to the intensification of the contradictions, and finally the death of the second Qin Dynasty."

"The problem of the First Emperor, when faced with the new problem of the great unification of the country, believes that the previous experience must be reliable."

"But the truth is – it's not reliable."
