Zhao Hao, who comes from modern times, clearly knows that the existence of the world is an evolutionary history, and all living things have faced natural selection and survival of the fittest since their birth, which is full of competition and sharp opposition between each other. The starting force of all this is to maintain their own survival and seek further development, and from human beings, to the natural world, to the whole earth, the root cause of the quarrel and struggle between each other is the competition for resources.

What are resources? This is a very broad concept, it can be sunlight, water, soil, living space, animals and plants, men and women, high-rise buildings, famous cars, world-famous, material materials, power, money, and fame. And because resources are scarce, there is always a huge gap between limited resources and unlimited possession, so the competition of human beings is endless, cruel and ruthless.

It is calculated that Zhao Yu has only been in the court for more than a month, and he has only participated in the court meeting once, but this does not prevent him from understanding the general situation, of course, some of them are brought from the previous life, but what he has seen with his own eyes at the moment is even more than the record in the history books. A strong sense of crisis made Zhao Hao work hard to strengthen himself in order to save his life, but did not want to seek greater power. But the reality is cruel, and the situation soon changes his original intention, and he realizes that he must protect his team to save himself, which also involuntarily involves him in the struggle for power and resources.

Generally speaking, human competition also obeys the law of the jungle, the more at the top, the stronger the power; The lower you are, the weaker your power is. And a very strange law will be formed - the strong will always be strong, and the weak will be weaker. This is because in the overall structure of the power tower, the more upper, the more optimistic his development is due to the strength and resources it has; The more they are at the bottom, the fewer resources they have at their disposal, the weaker they are, and the more they want to be slaughtered by others, the greater the resistance they will encounter in their development.

So, with power, there is everything; Without power, everything is lost. Therefore, striving for the top, striving to build a strong force, and ensuring one's own existence are the principles that must be followed in the construction of the power tower. Zhao Yu was an official at this time, and he still had the titles of Jiedu Envoy, Wai Zongzheng, System Envoy, and Deputy Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and it was said that he should be at the top of the power layer, but he understood that all this was false.

Financially, the palace had no income except its own money, and all expenses at this time came from the spoils of the sea encounter, and a little was a little, and if there was no replenishment, it would soon be exhausted; In terms of human rights, Zhao Hao's orders do not leave the palace, and no one will listen to him when he goes out; In terms of public opinion, he still has some praise, but it is only limited to the people, but the court's comments on him are two extremes, both positive and negative.

And Zhao Yu knows that even if he has a good reputation among the people, it is difficult to change his dilemma of lack of political assets at this moment. Needless to say, the emperor and the empress dowager are a family, as long as they don't rebel against the Mongols, they will give themselves shelter even if they break the sky. Yu Guogong is also a real relative, and after his observation, he found that he has no ambitions, of course, his ability is limited, but he really cares about himself, and even risks his life, he is a person who can rest assured.

At first, he always suspected that he was 'ungrateful' and abandoned him, but a few of his caring actions at the court meeting that day made Zhao Hao understand that he refused to get close to him because he was worried about public criticism, and he was responsible for supporting the new monarch and committing the notoriety of rebellion. However, this also shows that Liu Huang is cautious, cherishes his reputation, and is by no means an ungrateful person.

Jiang Wanzai is undoubtedly a loyal minister, but he has been in the DPRK for a long time and has experienced the ups and downs of the DPRK, so he must be much more cautious in doing things, and he must have a lot of concerns, and in order to balance the various factions in the DPRK and China, it is inevitable to look ahead and backward. And Zhao Yu believed that the two had a long talk for half a day, and it can be seen from the news that the DPRK and China later fed back the news, and he must have been a little touched. He must also hope that there will be a successor to the royal family to revive the Great Song Dynasty and revitalize the country's prestige, and Zhao Yu believes that as long as his plan can impress him, he will definitely gain his support.

As for Lu Xiufu, Zhao Yu and him only have a one-sided relationship, and they haven't said a word, they can't talk about their opinions at all, and their attitude towards themselves is unknown, maybe in his eyes, he is a child who doesn't understand the world. And Chen Yizhong has always been very cold to the Wei Wangfu because of the humiliation at the beginning, thinking that he still has hatred in his heart, but he looks at it coldly with an attitude of watching the excitement and does not interfere too much. If there is something and it doesn't fall into the ground, Zhao Yu will burn high incense.

Two days ago, Zhao Yugang cheated Zhang Shijie. He knew that he should not do such a thing that harmed unity at the time of national crisis, and he also admitted that he had done some grandchildren, but it was also because of his arrogant attitude, bullying the weak first, and he didn't know that Wei Wangfu was not easy to mess with. Besides, he has no money in his pocket, and Zhang Shijie's army has dozens of ships of property alone, and there is no shortage of ordnance.

While calculating his political assets, Zhao Hao felt not very optimistic, but he was not exhausted. Figures at the top have a lot of power to use, so they are more likely to successfully implement deterrence and control; And the characters in the lower echelons are not without the ability to use weak forces to deter the powerful. As long as we have identified our own resources, we can successfully carry out deterrence operations by utilizing these power resources according to our objectives.

Zhao Hao also has another natural advantage, that is, he is a child, and if he does a good job, he is talented; If you smash it, it's a child's nonsense, and God should forgive it. For example, he cheated Zhang Shijie this time, he thought that his lack of revenge was definitely not because he was incapable, nor because he was kind, but he felt that he had let a child play tricks, and it was a shame to say it. However, from this point of view, it is stronger than Chen Yizhong's character, but I can't figure out why Ying Jieyan, who has already given a shi, why he wades into troubled waters, if he is ......

"Son, why are we so miserable...... Zhao Hao just entered the inner palace, and before he could salute and say goodbye, Empress Dowager Yang left her seat and pounced on him and hugged him in her arms and cried, her mouth couldn't stop muttering about God's injustice, scolding the cruelty of the Tartars, and refusing to give their orphans and widows a place to stand.

"Queen Mother......" Zhao Yu was caught off guard, and he didn't know what to say for a while. But after thinking about it, I still don't persuade her, it's okay to let her cry, because this woman is under too much pressure, not only to raise the young emperor in order to continue the bloodline of the Zhao family and the Great Song Dynasty, but also to deal with national affairs in such a difficult situation. But all this is pressed on a weak woman who has never had political experience and has seen the rain of guns and blood, as long as she is around thirty years old but born early, she is not crazy It's good, it's good to vent now, isn't it said that tears are the best placebo for women.

"Queen Mother, don't cry anymore, take care of your body, the ministers and the court must rely on the queen mother!" After a while, Empress Dowager Yang's crying gradually weakened, and Zhao Hao estimated that she was almost venting, and raised his hand to wipe the tears on the Empress Dowager's face and comforted softly.

"The queen mother is useless, she can't give you a stable place, protect you thoroughly, and let you be wronged." Empress Dowager Yang listened to the tears falling again.

"The queen mother is a son who is guilty, and she can't expel the Tartars, eradicate the traitors, and recapture my great rivers and mountains, so that the queen mother is worried about labor, and the royal brother is wandering around." Zhao Yu broke free from his embrace and took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed, and said in tears.

"Sixth brother, get up quickly, it's your fault that you are still young, it's all the uselessness of the queen mother to affect you, remember to be cautious in the court in the future." Empress Dowager Yang heard that tears were surging down again, but she couldn't pull him, and hugged Zhao Hao and cried.

"Queen Mother, Your Highness, don't be sad, I still need hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and good generals in the Great Song Dynasty, and there will be a day when Kuang Fu Sheji." Dou Xing couldn't help crying sadly when he saw the mother crying darkly, but he still stepped forward to comfort him and helped the Queen Mother get up.

"Mother, is something wrong?" Zhao Yu was confused, and he expressed his loyalty, but the Queen Mother taught him to be cautious.

"Alas, His Royal Highness recently convened a volunteer training and spoke at the court meeting, and several courtiers said that His Royal Highness has the will to save the country and has the talent to govern the country, so he asked the Queen Mother to follow Emperor Gaozong's example and allow His Royal Highness to open a palace to train troops and go out of the town. The Queen Mother was worried that those courtiers had bad intentions, so she urgently summoned Her Highness to come in case of an accident. Dou Xing sighed and said.

"Oh, I wonder who asked for it?" Zhao Yu was shocked when he heard this, he had never mentioned the matter of wanting to run away to anyone, everything was in the planning, how could someone see through his mind and play first. And the Queen Mother is worried that someone will cut and abandon herself first, so as to keep herself by her side, but there are few people who can make the Queen Mother afraid.

"Your Highness, it was a joint performance by several people from Shangshu Province." Dou Xing replied vaguely.

"Xie Daguan pointed out, this king understands." Zhao Yu knew in his heart that the fifth or sixth grade petty officials who were only at the bureau level in the matter could not make the Queen Mother care, and the one who was afraid must be their behind-the-scenes commanders, so wouldn't it be right for him to push the boat down the river.

"These people are really confused, how can the sixth brother open a government and set up a government to govern the place at a young age, it is clear that he has another intention." Empress Dowager Yang has gradually calmed down, pulled Zhao Yu to wipe the tears on his face lovingly, and said hatefully.

"Queen Mother, what do they want to do?" Zhao Hao's heart was cold, and he listened to the queen mother's intention to let him open the mansion not to ask him to leave the town, but to calculate him......
