Zhao Hao thought that the Sui Dynasty had cleaned up the mess of the Wei and Jin dynasties at that time and set up another situation, which was the need for reform, but the fault was that Yang Guang was in a hurry. The opening of the imperial examination is a good thing for future generations and for the future; Moving the capital to Luoyang and occupying important places in the Central Plains was also necessary to consolidate the rule; The opening of the canal to connect the north and the south is also a good thing to promote national integration and material circulation; The conquest of Goryeo was the need to expand the territory and consolidate the border defense. It can be said that Yang Guang did these things not badly, but why did he end up as a tyrant?

The current situation faced by Zhao Yu should be said to be similar to Yang Guang, in the eyes of the world, he led the troops to recover Jiangnan is a continuation of the national lineage of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty has been in the hands of the enemy for ten years, and it is better to reopen the country than to restore the country. He also needed to consolidate his rule through a series of reforms, and the unification of the Northern Expedition was originally completed. The reason for their desire to start a war is the same, they all want to promote internal reform through the victory of a foreign war, and to ease the domestic contradictions. And the difference between him and Yang Guang is that one is a great achievement, and the other is forced by the situation.

Yang Guangzheng Goryeo was defeated again and again, but he insisted on going his own way for the sake of face, and sent troops repeatedly, without taking into account the contradictions between the ruling classes caused by the opening of the imperial examination, moving the capital and building the canal has been the power of the country, and the people's and material resources have almost been exhausted, which led to the outbreak of contradictions between the ruling class and the ruled class in the country, and the aristocracy took the opportunity to rebel, the interest groups split, and fell into a catastrophe, resulting in the death of two generations of the Sui Dynasty.

Zhao Yu was still sober than Yang Guangsheng, and he was not arrogant because of successive victories, and he also started the war to improve the passive defensive posture. At the same time, when he realized that his foundation was too thin, a series of major events such as moving the capital, family worship, and big weddings not only exhausted the accumulation of the treasury, but also left little private money.

Once the war cannot be won quickly according to the plan and falls into a stalemate, it will have to rely on increasing taxes to maintain the war, and the results are obvious. On the other hand, Zhao Yu found that there were signs of division within the imperial court, and he had always been very resistant to his own reformist scholar class, and his thoughts on deposing him had never been broken.

So Zhao Yu stepped on the brakes in time to avoid the intensification of the contradiction and repeat Yang Guang's mistakes. And go back to accumulate money and grain first, rectify the internal court, stabilize the hearts of the people and the army, and then wait for the opportunity. Then the Wu family, as the leader of the Jiangnan scholar class, may become a potential obstacle to his own reform. But it will also become a problem for Zhao Hao, if he cooperates with himself to complete the reform, as a meritorious minister, he can only be rewarded to make his position more stable; If the leader opposes it, it must be suppressed.

'There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add', Zhao Yu can be regarded as realizing the beauty of this sentence, no matter what the Wu family is, even if he keeps his mouth shut, it is difficult for him to eliminate his doubts. And the reason why he led the troops back to the palace with great fanfare when he came was to dispose of the queen first to warm up and remove the Wu family's arm in the palace first, but what he didn't expect was that Wu Shuo, a loser, actually stopped and played prestige, and made a lot of nonsense, so that he had a legitimate reason to deal with the Wu family......

The Shangyuan Festival luncheon is the emperor's family banquet, in previous years, there were only the queen mother and Zhao Yu, but this year he married a five-room daughter-in-law, which was naturally a lot more lively. Among them, some of them can sing and dance, some can recite poems, and Chen Shu, a living treasure, mediates the atmosphere, making a luncheon sound and colorful, without the coldness and dullness of the past. And Zhao Yu found that Wu Xi was really able to hide things, and he actually behaved very decently, and was not affected by family affairs at all.

The family banquet lasted until dusk, and it was time to light the lanterns, and the ministers invited the emperor, the queen mother and the concubines to go to the city to watch the lanterns and have fun with the people. Zhao Yu played on the spot, personally supported the queen mother, and led the concubine to the city tower to accept the worship of all the people. At this time, the lamp mountain has been lit up, shining like day, and looking into the distance, the city is also lit up, like the Milky Way falling into the world.

The top of the city has already set up a colorful shed, the upper floor is all hanging yellow and green curtains, one of them is the throne, with the yellow Luo set up a colorful shed, there is an inner attendant holding the yellow cover, and the palm fan is listed outside the curtain. Each of the two buildings hangs a lamp ball, about a square circumference, and burns a rafter candle inside. A band was also set up inside, and downstairs a terrace was made of fir wood, the terrace was made of colored knots, and guards lined up on both sides, wearing new military uniforms, holding guns and facing outward. The east shed of the city is playing, the terrace is performing acrobatics, and there are guards standing near the gate. The people watched from under the terrace, and the musicians guided the people to shout long live from time to time.

"Who are those people on stage?" Zhao Hao sat in the center, and the others were also in their respective positions. He looked down at the city, and saw that there were dozens of stands on the street in front of the palace gate, so he turned his face and asked Wang Dedao.

"The official family, there are all left and right ministers over there, and the privy envoy and the six Shangshu and their families are on the stage." When Wang De heard His Majesty's greeting, he immediately leaned over and replied.

"Oh, what about the other officials?" Zhao Yu nodded, he was watching the lights upstairs, and those ministers could only watch the lights from the stands downstairs, and he looked down left and right and asked.

"Officials, those officials who are not of enough rank can only squeeze in the crowd and enjoy the lanterns one by one!" Wang De said with a smile.

"Well, this is called having fun with the people, but I am sitting here and enjoying the lanterns, but I am causing trouble with the people." Zhao Yu said with a wry smile.

"The official family must not go downstairs, it is fake for all the people to appreciate the lanterns, and it is true to want to see Long Yan. If the official family goes downstairs, won't it provoke the people to scramble to see the dragon's face first, and then the world will be in chaos. Wang De was really afraid that the little emperor would go downstairs on a whim to have fun with the people, so he hurriedly explained the relationship.

"Hehe, just kidding, look at you!" Zhao Yu smiled, and asked as if he had found something, "Eh, where are Zhao Zhi and them?" ”

"The official family, it is estimated that it is in the restaurant on the edge of the royal street. But not necessarily, in previous years, those prescient smart people and rich people would book a place in the restaurant on the street more than ten days in advance for the convenience of watching the lanterns, and while watching the lights, they drank with relatives and friends. Others are too late to book seats. Zhao Zhi's envoy and the others have been in the camp with the official family for a long time, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a position. Wang De replied.

"Why don't you give them a shed too?" Zhao Yu asked with a frown.

"Official, there has never been such a rule in the palace, so naturally there is no preparation." Wang De saw the little emperor's displeasure on his face, and quickly explained.

"Hmph, you immediately send someone to look for them, and then set up tables, chairs, wine and food on my left hand, and invite them to the city tower to enjoy the lanterns with me!" Zhao Hao snorted.

"Official, this ...... Yes, the little ones are going! Wang De hesitated, thought about it and said again.

"Slow down, please come up with Lu Xiang, Wen Xiang, Zhang Shushuai and the three masters!" Zhao Yu pondered.

"Yes, the little one will send someone to invite!" Wang De saluted again, turned his head and ordered people to look for it quickly.

"Your Majesty, quickly taste the candied fruit that the concubine just called!" This is Chen Shu running over with a plate of candied fruit, sitting down next to him and picking up a piece of the road.

"Glutton!" Zhao Yu glanced at her and muttered.

"Nonsense, this is called by Sister Shufei, everyone said it was delicious, and everyone asked for some!" Chen Shu stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth and pouted.

"The taste is good, even better than the taste in the palace!" Zhao Hao chewed and said, "Did you send some to the queen mother?" ”

"The queen has already sent it over, and she will be filial piety on behalf of Your Majesty!" Chen Shu snapped his head and pointed.

"Under the gaze of everyone, don't be presumptuous, sit down!" Zhao Yu really saw Wu Xi watching the lights with the Queen Mother, with a smile on her lips, and saw that Chen Shu was still hanging on herself, patted her back, and sank her face.

"Good!" Chen Shujiao snorted, and then sat down with the little emperor and said, "What Your Majesty likes to eat, you can call upstairs, and my sister will buy it for you!" ”

"What do you mean by that? Think I can't afford it! Zhao Hao tilted his neck to look at Chen Shu, and said suspiciously.

"Who doesn't know that Your Majesty lives a simple life, and the daily meal fee is only less than the usual money, where is the money to eat the fruit!" Chen Shu smiled.

"Okay, I'll go to your place in the future, otherwise I won't even be able to eat meat!" Zhao Yu listened to it but said happily.

"Your Majesty, you won't tell you the truth, will you?" Chen Shu was stunned, half delighted, half skeptical.

"You don't know how much money this Shangyuan Lantern Festival costed, it was calculated in 100,000 yuan, and the local government also spent a lot of money to make lanterns, often half the price to the lamp households, and the rest of the money can only be given. But now that the vault is almost at the bottom, I can only save money to pay the bills! Zhao Yu sighed and said.

"No, Your Majesty is already very economical, if you don't eat well, how can you bear it. The concubine also has some private money, which His Majesty can use as much as possible, and the three meals in the future will also be provided by the concubine! Chen Shu really took it seriously and took the little emperor's hand.

"Hehe, my sister still loves me, then I'm welcome, but I have something to eat for dinner!" Zhao Yu rubbed his hands and said with a little excitement.

"There is no problem, the concubine now has a monthly income of eight thousand yuan, and a little fat powder is enough for His Majesty to eat meat!" Chen Shu said seriously.

"It's decided, tomorrow I will go to report to Qiongzhai for dinner!" Zhao Yu also pretended to be a real act, and nodded vigorously.

"Well, when I go back, I will order the dining room to make more meat, Your Majesty is hungry these days, right?" Seeing that the little emperor agreed so happily, Chen Shu's doubts suddenly disappeared, but she looked at him with pity.

"Yes, these days, I eat in the camp of the generals, and the lowest of them are all the capital, but my meal fee can only be used by the system, watching them eat fish and meat, of course I am hungry." Zhao Yu licked his lips and said.

"Alas, Your Majesty is so pitiful!" Chen Shu grew up in the Jiangmen family, of course, he knew the gap between the food expenses of the system and the capital, but the little emperor had insisted on the rules he had set for so many years, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Good nights are hard to find, you don't have to compare with me, you can be more wanton!" Zhao Yu looked at the color shed of the concubines, only to see that they would call the dance team to perform for a while, and call the market to eat the plate rack to spend the night, so they sang and competed, went upstairs to enter the palace, and some spare money in the palace were all competing to buy, and the sellers were rewarded with countless gold, silver and jewelry, all of them were smiling.

"Your Majesty, there are rumors in the palace that it is precisely because of the dissatisfaction with the queen's spending on holding a lantern festival that he offended the seventh son of the Wu family, and he wants to behead him, yes or no?" Chen Shu didn't move, but turned her face and asked.

"At the time of national crisis, he doesn't know how to be thrifty, so extravagant, shouldn't I be angry?" Zhao Yu looked at Chen Shu's innocent eyes, and the pretty face close to him, and he had an urge to kiss her, and he could only smile and ask in front of everyone.

"Maybe the queen just wanted to please His Majesty, and she didn't know the previous rules, so she did something wrong." Chen Shu didn't step on it, but defended it.

"The queen is a smart person, she has long known why Miss Cheng, who has been re-elected, was not selected in the end, and now she is made the main palace, but I don't know if I hate extravagance?" Zhao Yu glanced at Cheng Suyan, who was standing guard outside the color shed, and said.

"Your Majesty has had a lot of ghosts since he was a child, and the concubines thought that His Majesty liked it, so they would do their best to remove Cheng Su and leave the concubine position to me." Chen Shu listened to it but made another interpretation, dissatisfied and authentic.

"It's true that I insisted on summoning you into the palace, but it's just because I was often bullied by you when I was a child, and now it's just to take revenge!" Zhao Hao said with a wicked smile.

"I've been thinking about Your Majesty, but that's the case!" Chen Shu said viciously.

"Sizzle...... I have been thinking about your beauty since I was a child, and in order to satisfy this evil thought, I insisted on keeping you and making you a concubine, this is all right! Zhao Yu didn't expect Chen Shu to have a 'black hand', so he tried his best to endure the pain and laughed.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it!" Chen Shu let go, got up and gave a salute and floated away.

"This crazy girl, really do it!" Zhao Yu rubbed the twisted thighs and muttered, but in his heart, it was beautiful, in fact, only when he was with Chen Shu in his heart, he felt a little bit of falling in love, which could be regarded as giving himself some spiritual comfort!

"It's getting more and more incomprehensible!" Zhao Hao's kung fu turned sideways, and Yu Guangzheng saw Wu Shuo who was still kneeling in front of the palace gate, thinking about what it was like to have dozens of catties of heavy flail around his neck, no matter how strong a person was shackled for a day and a night, he would feel that life was worse than death. And Wu Shuo, who has always been pampered, is already paralyzed on the ground at the moment, and it is estimated that he has lost half his life if he doesn't die, but Wu Xi at least showed pain on his face for his brother who was offended under his nose, and he didn't plead with himself, and still talked and laughed upstairs, which made Zhao Hao feel even more incomprehensible.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" At this time, there was a sudden mountain cry downstairs, and Zhao Yu leaned over to look down, only to see that this time it was not the teachers or musicians who instigated it, but several important ministers who were saluting downstairs.

"All the Qing family is flat, and we are happy with me!" The mountain cries one after another, Zhao Yu stood up and walked to the side of the city tower and raised his hand and said loudly, but he found that his voice had long been drowned out, and at this time, not only the people were shouting, but the officers and soldiers on duty were also raising their arms and shouting, as if they also enjoyed the gift of enjoying the lanterns upstairs with the little emperor......
