Chapter 641: Out of the Palace
After saying that, it was already noon, and the temple prepared a meal and sent it to the house, because the queen mother still had to listen to the scriptures in the afternoon, so she did not sit together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis Hainan Island is located in a remote area, and no emperor has ever been to the past dynasties, and this temple has been driven for the first time since the temple was built. Not to mention that the holy driver will give them a reward when he comes here, even if he turns around, it will make them famous, attract countless pilgrims and believers, and their status will be greatly improved. Therefore, it must be a wholehearted service and a courteous reception.
Zhao Yu looked at the banquet sent to him, although it was vegetarian, but it was also extremely exquisite, and it was ten times stronger than what he usually ate. Naturally, he would not be polite, but he couldn't eat the dozens of dishes on the table, so he chose a dozen dishes and sent them back to the Fucheng Palace for Yuan Miao to taste. Thinking about the old monk, he is also pitiful, not to mention accepting himself as an apprentice who fishes for three days and drying nets for two days, and the temple that has always promised him has not been built, and he has to stand guard and guard himself every day, which is really pitiful, and he is a little sorry for being like this.
On weekdays, you should be frugal by example, but Zhao Yu is also greedy, but after tasting a bite of each dish, only three dishes are left that he likes to eat, and the rest is all given to the accompanying guards and chamberlains, otherwise it will be a waste. After a long time, he was also hungry, so he ate the rest of the dishes and cleaned the plates. After eating enough, the sleepiness came up again, but because of the excitement, he couldn't sleep when he lay down, which made him wonder if he had a nervous breakdown!
In this meeting, Zhao Yu seemed to reveal his plans, but in fact, he quietly dug a pit. He remembered that the American scholar Samuel Huntington said that in an advanced country, the army is the most advanced part, and in a backward country, the army is the most conservative part. That is to say, if you want a country to become more advanced, the military should be at the forefront, and it should be ahead to a certain extent.
As the U.S. military has become more and more effective in applying its business model to military management, the U.S. government and corporations have in turn treated the military as treasures. After the retirement of senior generals of the U.S. military, they are often hired by different companies to become chairmen, honorary chairmen, or enter government departments, why? One is to use their connections and influence in the military to gain benefits. But on the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the management of enterprises and the government with the help of their effective management experience.
This is not without enlightenment for Zhao Hao, so that he can use the cadres trained by the army to change from military to civilian at the right time, so as to weaken the influence of scholars and gradually achieve the goal of balancing civil and military affairs. In the same way, he can also attract some scholars into the army, so as to strengthen the cultural literacy of the army and improve the combat effectiveness of the army. In this way, if we push forward the adjustment of the government, there will be much less resistance at that time.
The most important thing is that this new military system seems to have fallen into the military and political aspects under the control of Wenchen, but in fact, the military department has been separated from the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province and directly subordinate to the leadership of the emperor, so that Zhao Yu has controlled the power of both military and political affairs and military orders, and still puts the army under his absolute leadership. Therefore, the power of the prime minister was weakened rather than strengthened, at least it made it more difficult for Wenchen to meddle in military affairs, and the court that restricted him would be hollowed out in military terms and turned into mere senators and advisers, allowing him to gain greater freedom in the dispatch of troops.
At present, he not only has to plan for the building of the new army, but also further sort out the concept of reforming the military system, delineate their respective powers, adjust personnel appointments and dismissals, improve rules and regulations, formulate organizational plans, and so on, with a view to completing it as soon as possible and laying a foundation for improving the army's deployment capability and combat effectiveness.
"Official, take a break!" Su Lan saw that the little emperor was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep peacefully after lying down, and said softly.
"Well, I want to, too, but my head is so swollen that I can't sleep!" Zhao Yu sighed lightly.
"The official family has been sleeping late and getting up early for many days, it's too tired, the slave and maid rub it for the official!" Su Lan said.
"Okay, let's try it." The taste of insomnia is the saddest, Zhao Hao said lightly.
"Yes, official." Su Lan agreed to move forward, sitting at the end of the low couch, her hand pinching the little emperor's head.
"Hmm......" Su Lan's hand was very cold, and he felt comfortable on Zhao Yu's hot head, and the unique body fragrance on the girl's body also made him feel very comfortable, and he couldn't help but hum when he was physically and mentally refreshed.
"The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, a few happy and a few sad. Several couples are in the same tent, and a few are floating outside......" Su Lan looked down at the little emperor, her hand was gently pressed on his head, her eyes were full of love and pity, she felt that this child was living too hard. Although you are the emperor, she bears the heavy responsibility of recovering the country, when the children of the same age play freely, she has to deal with military affairs every day, and does not dare to slack off, so that she is extremely sleepy but difficult to sleep, she hums a song softly hoping to let His Majesty sleep for a while.
"......" Zhao Yu is extremely familiar with the melody and lyrics of this song, he didn't expect this song to have such a long history, but being able to hear the familiar melody in his previous life still made his heart settle down a lot, and he fell asleep in a trance.
"Official ......" Seeing that His Majesty was already asleep, Su Lan stopped and was about to move away, when the little emperor suddenly rolled over, pillowed his head on her lap, and put his arms around her waist. This made her taken aback, and in a panic, she exclaimed and wanted to get up and avoid it, but when she saw the little emperor's peaceful face, she gave up again, and gently stroked His Majesty's face and sighed secretly......
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
It was already evening when the party returned to Fucheng, and Zhao Yu sent the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace before returning to the East Palace. Thinking that tomorrow would be the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and that it would soon be Chinese New Year's Eve, he ordered that except for the rotating chamberlain, servants, and guards, they could go out of the palace to play tricks, and at the same time ordered Zhuang Shilin to take out a sum of money from his private money and reward it to everyone. Of course, an additional festival fee was given to each of the old men of the Shuaifu, and several generals who went out on the expedition wrapped a big red envelope to show the emperor's grace.
Thinking about his busy work for another year, he is as tired as a dog or there are still things to do, and then he thinks that the city of Rome was not built in a year, he is only 'nine years old', and some time is wasted with Kublai Khan. And the work still has to be relaxed, and the urgency is not in these two days, and no one will give him a holiday when he is tired, so he can only feel sorry for himself, so he ordered that unless the fire is in the house and the thief comes to the door, other things should not trouble him, and it can be handled by the rotating chief and the military aircraft department.
After sending everyone who was busy planning the new army home, Zhao Yu ate and took a hot bath and fell asleep, making up for the lack of sleep first. The next day, I slept until dawn, but I still habitually glanced at the bookcase, and saw that there was nothing on it, so I settled down to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and by the way, I had a good meal in Cining Palace before returning to the East Palace, but when I was really idle, I felt empty in my heart, and I became idle, and I didn't know where to put my hands and feet.
"Ni Liang, is it lively outside?" After taking a turn in the palace, Zhao Yu still felt bored, and suddenly stopped and asked Ni Liang with his face up.
"Of course, it's lively, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the street is full of lights, and people are buying New Year's goods everywhere!" Ni Liang is stupid, and he can't describe what the excitement in the city looks like after talking for a long time.
"Your Majesty must not leave the palace...... Wang De was much more clever than Ni Liang, and as soon as he heard the words, he thought of what the little emperor was going to do.
"Be quiet!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to cover Wang De's mouth and said, and looked left and right, only Su Lan and Su Xin were on the side.
"Your Majesty......" Wang De didn't dare to touch the little emperor's hand, and the monkey was anxious.
"Hum it again and it will make you think about it!" Zhao Hao glared and said sharply, turned his face to look at the other people and asked, "Are you willing to go out for a walk?" ā
"You ......" Wang De was anxious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only 'threaten' everyone with his eyebrows.
"I will go wherever Your Majesty wants!" Ni Liang was not afraid of Wang De at all, and he didn't care about it when he didn't see it.
"What about you?" Zhao Yu glanced at Su Lan and Su Xindao.
"I ...... I want to go too! "Playing with the heart still defeats fear, not to mention that His Majesty is in charge, Su Xin hesitated.
"Hmm!" Su Lan also nodded vigorously.
"Okay, then Wang De is at home, let's get out of the palace!" Zhao Yu put down his hand.
"Official, the little ones are going too!" Wang De was relieved, and if he couldn't stop it, he immediately changed his mind.
"This is like words, I want us to ...... back then," Zhao Yu wanted to speak and stopped.
"Official, then do we still have to sneak out?" Wang De also smiled, thinking that he followed His Majesty in Guangzhou to secretly go out to hunt for treasures and visit the market, and he had to hide from the gentlemen and let them search all over the city. Although I was also apprehensive, it was very pleasant.
"Do you still need to sneak out? You go find a carriage, let's get out in the carriage, and I go to change my clothes!" Zhao Yu waved his hand. He also wanted to go out through the door, but there was only one child in the palace, and no matter how much makeup he put on, it was difficult to become an adult, and he would be recognized when he went out, and then the Queen Mother would know.
"Yes, let's arrange it for the little ones!" Wang De said with a wry smile, after a long time, he still sneaked out of the palace, but it was just a boat ride instead of a car.
The only car that can enter and leave the palace every day is the car for daily necessities, so Wang De arranged for the vehicle to leave the palace in the name of His Majesty's purchase of urgently needed things, and several of them slipped out of the palace in the car disguised as cats. And Zhao Yu made an appointment with everyone, of course he was the master, Wang De was the official, Ni Liang was naturally the bodyguard, and the two girls were maids, so everyone wanted to call him the sixth son.
There is the chief of Ouchi driving in person, and there is His Majesty's token, and there is a guard on the wheel, who dares to check the guards guarding the palace ban. The group went out of the palace smoothly, found a secluded place and parked the car, and Zhao Hao got out of the car, but after walking a few steps, Zhao Hao found a serious problem - he didn't bring money.
"Mr. Wang, did you bring any money?" Zhao Yu first asked with a smile at Wang De's fingers.
"Childe, I didn't bring ......" Wang De touched his sleeves, touched his arms again, and said in frustration.
"What about you?" Zhao Hao turned his face and asked Ni Liang again. After becoming the emperor himself, he hasn't touched money for a long time, and someone will do things when he moves his mouth.
"Childe, my money is in the camp!" Ni Liang bowed his head and said.
"How much money do you have?" Zhao Hao couldn't afford to be angry with him, he was covered with food and clothing in the army, and it was normal for him to have no money on him, but he asked casually.
"I don't know, I put the paychecks in a box, and I never counted!" Ni Liang shook his head and said.
"Ho......" Zhao Yu nodded at him with his hand, and suddenly remembered something, this child is also twenty years old this year, and it can be regarded as a late marriage in this era, "Ni Zhuangyuan has been martyred for three years, I should also tell you about family affairs, and find a daughter-in-law to count the money for you!" ā
"Well, it's all up to Your Majesty!" Ni Liang blushed and said in a low voice, obviously a little embarrassed.
"Okay, tell me which little lady you like!" Zhao Yu smiled and said, then looked at Su Lan and Su Xin and sighed, these two people probably had no hope, but they found that Su Xin's face was red for no reason.
"Childe, why don't I go back to the palace to get it?" Wang De stepped forward and said.
"Forget it, tossing back and forth, I don't know when it's going to be, it's a big deal, let's just watch it today and don't buy it!" Zhao Hao said with a wry smile, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, he finally came out, but he didn't even have to buy snacks.
In desperation, several people surrounded Zhao Yu and walked towards the main street, Fucheng was originally the government of Qiongzhou, the political and economic center of the whole island, and of course the most prosperous. After the Xing Dynasty moved to Qiongzhou, a large number of officials and garrisons poured in, these people were all holding iron rice bowls, with a fixed monthly salary, and their families constituted a large number of consumer groups, which pushed Qiongzhou's business to a higher level.
Although it is now close to the New Year, Zhao Yun found that the mentality of ancient and modern people for the New Year is similar, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is not eaten, and the New Year's goods seem to be forever missing, so there are not many people shopping, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they rub shoulders. And the merchants seized the last opportunity, shouting loudly to solicit business, and enthusiastically pulling customers into the store.
Helplessly, a few people were shy, and a few people didn't dare to talk, only the little emperor was cheeky and asked this and that, and there was a decent bargain, but in the end it was difficult to make a deal. They wondered how His Majesty could be so skilled at bargaining, but they didn't know that bargaining was a necessary skill for modern people, otherwise they would be ridiculed. What's even more surprising is that they are very familiar with prices, and they can always kill the merchants, but it is a pity that no matter how cheap they are, they have no money to buy them.
"Is that the sedan chair of the head of the village?" Zhao Yu suddenly found a four-carrying sedan chair slowly moving forward in the crowd, and he pointed and asked Ni Liangdao.
"Well, exactly, let's hide!" Ni Liang guarded the palace ban and was very familiar with the sedan chairs of various courtiers, so he nodded.
"No need, the God of Wealth is here!" It is said that there are many officials in the capital, so there are many people who know Zhao Hao, so they have to be careful not to be recognized while shopping, but this time he decided not to hide......
