Chapter 683: The Place of the Son of Heaven
With a long sigh of relief, Zhao Zhen felt that the air had become much fresher, now it was good, it was the best thing for the Great Song Dynasty to be able to take Datong Mansion without blood, after all, the soldiers who went out on the expedition had not returned home for a year, and the existence of such a thing as a three-year campaign was in the history books.
A year of conquest has made Zhao Zhen eager to return to Tokyo City, like the soldiers, he has a wife and children at home, and his heart is like an arrow. If Datong Mansion is taken, then the Northern Expedition will be completely completed, the entire Yanyun will be in the bag of the Great Song Dynasty, and the construction of infrastructure will be in full swing.
The Liao Dynasty fell into civil strife, and I don't know when it will be able to come out, although the Western Xia has the intention of expansion, but it does not dare to act rashly for the time being, after all, compared with the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty hated the Western Xia even more.
Zhao Zhen turned his head to Xia Zhu and said: "The gold medal hurriedly handed over the edict Di Qing, told him Zhang Jian's words, and asked him not to take action first, but the army pays close attention to the movements of the Liao, the enemy does not move, I will not move, if the Liaons have any changes, don't hesitate!" ”
Xia Zhu bowed slightly and said, "The minister obeys the order!" But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Zhao Zhen again.
"Oh yes, the stakes are very high, you still personally follow Zhang Jian for a trip, draw up a charter, when the two armies of the province are in conflict, Di Qing's department will only be used as a monitor for the Liao people, and Cao Wei will lead 30,000 forbidden troops to Datong Mansion to receive the surrender, the speed should be fast, lest the Liao people take all the things away."
Xia Zhu's eyes lit up: "What the official said is that the old minister must hurry up, lest the people of Datong Mansion go to the empty city, and it is not good to leave only an empty city for me in the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Well, you go with Zhang Jian, anyway, if Zhang Jian doesn't return, the Liao people won't make any moves, but the gold medal should be sent out as soon as possible, lest Di Qing take the lead in attacking."
Xia Zhu walked away, Zhao Zhen stood on the high royal street and sighed to himself, this old man's speed is quite fast, and he is not afraid of breaking his feet......
Now that the war in the entire Yanyun has come to an end, he has to prepare for returning to the dynasty and moving the capital, during this time, the music of Tokyo City has been piled up, except for some of the ones that must be reviewed by himself, the other Zhao Zhen hasn't seen it much!
The biggest mistake this time is that he didn't bring Pang Ji as a minister, his advantage is not that he is resourceful, but that he has a super ability to deal with political affairs, and he can deal with the general method when he is in his hands, and he only needs to review it.
The emperor is also a human being, and he also has to rest, except for people who are crazy and even a little masochistic like Ming Taizu, who will abolish the prime minister? Even if he abolished the prime minister, wouldn't the later cabinet officials be much different?
The level of imperial power ultimately depends on the emperor himself, even if the power is castrated, if the emperor is not angry, it will still be divided, the power of the Great Song Dynasty has long been divided into many pieces, the monarch is always above the system of decentralization, and the so-called power is less pitiful than the Tang Dynasty.
If this can't suppress the power, then the emperor is too incompetent, and he deserves to be usurped, Zhao Zhen doesn't want his descendants to appear incompetent again, but he can't guarantee this, he can only be bound by the royal inheritance and the law of the ancestors.
And the only thing that can check and balance the imperial power, or have an impact on the imperial power is the power of the Great Song Dynasty, if Pang Ji, the Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhangshi, openly opposes the relocation of the capital, and the other deputy ministers and governors are also opposed, then even if Zhao Zhen holds the imperial power, he cannot force the officials and the people to move the capital......
Walking down the imperial steps, the drum towers on both sides are under construction, the tall and majestic drum towers are even more than the main hall in height, just like two huge warriors guarding the side, Zhao Zhen whimsically crossed to the drum tower construction site under construction.
Although it was a red official uniform, the long winged hat on Zhao Zhen's head was still quite eye-catching, and the craftsmen who were in charge of the construction saw Zhao Zhen and bowed down one after another, shouting long live.
"Pingshen, who is the governor here?"
A dusty craftsman walked out of the crowd, rubbed his hands a little cramped, and said: "Weichen Fang Caiyou is the governor here, and he is the fourth rank of the leading labor department......
Zhao Zhen was surprised and pointed to Fang Caiyou, who was more fortunate than the craftsman, and said, "You are the governor?" Why are you more tired and fortunate than a craftsman?! ”
Fang Caiyou smiled shyly and said: "The minister is from the Gewu Academy, because it is a Gewu opened by the official family, the minister will practice Gewu Zhizhi, they are also people with craftsmanship, and Weichen also has to learn one or two to know the mystery." ”
This really opened Zhao Zhen's eyes, and the ancients' respect for culture and learning was no worse than that of later generations, and even surpassed.
Nodding slightly, Zhao Zhen handed him the scarf he was carrying and said: "Fang Caiyou, well, I have written down your name, this square scarf is given to you to wipe your face, and it can be regarded as a gift from the emperor, I hope you will maintain this heart of learning in the future, although the object is opened by me, but the mystery of which I know is only a few, the study of architecture is broad and profound, and you have to study well." ”
Fang Caiyou trembled slightly, reached out and took the scarf, only symbolically wiped it on his face, and then put it in his arms, this thing is a treasure that ordinary people can't ask for, and even if it is an ordinary object, the meaning of it is not ordinary! What's more, it's something that the official family carries with him? If someone else gets it, they are afraid that they will be served at home, and the attendant on the side has already registered this square scarf......
Zhao Zhen had long turned a blind eye to this situation, and asked, "How about I give you a suggestion?" ”
Fang Caiyou didn't dare to say again: "Your Majesty, please speak, the minister must study hard, and dare not live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, but I hope that you will use different colors of bricks and stones to build patterns on this drum tower, preferably two warriors standing with swords, just like this drum tower towering on both sides of the main hall, guarding my Great Song Dynasty for generations." ”
Fang Caiyou's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look at the tall drum tower and the main hall, and was immediately impressed by Zhao Zhen's proposal, yes, the gray-black drum tower alone was a little monotonous, and he was ready to use other colors at the beginning, but he was worried that the color would fade after the wind and rain was even more ugly, and now the advice given by the official family is really good, just use the non-fading bricks and stones to pile up patterns with different eye colors!
The samurai standing with a sword is really no better than this pattern, guarding the official family, guarding Yanyun, and guarding the Great Song!
Fang Caiyou bowed down and bowed: "Your Majesty broke through the mystery with a word, and the micro-ministers suddenly opened, and tomorrow they will draw a pattern and present it to the official family!" ”
Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is very good, what do you think of such a palace compared to the Daqing Hall in Tokyo City?" ”
Fang Caiyou hesitated slightly: "This ...... Wechen doesn't know ......"
Zhao Zhen smiled: "What don't you know, good is good, bad is bad, why bother with the stakes?" ”
Fang Caiyou looked at the high drum tower and the main hall, gritted his teeth and said: "The palace of the minister's view of the Jinfu is more magnificent and kingly of the Great Song Dynasty, the palace wall is high, the terrain is the head, looking down on the world, standing on one side, it should be the place of the Son of Heaven!" All the people regard it and feel emotional, guarding the world, where the dragon vein is! ”
"Hahaha!" Zhao Zhen laughed three times and said, "Okay, good!" He left without looking back, he had already gotten the answer he wanted, and it was imperative to move the capital!
