In the palace, Zhao Gou has been watching the changes in all aspects with a cold eye.

The reaction of the ministers of civil and military affairs in the outside world, the reactions of local officials and scholars, and the reactions of all kinds of people in the court!

The former was not unexpected, and they all cared about it very much.

But the latter, "still not moving? Rare, rare! ”

Looking at the report of the Imperial City Division and Jinyiwei, Zhao Gou shook his head and smiled.

Empress Xing's mother and son and Pan Guifei's mother and son, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, the concubine is not favored, and the favored is the concubine, when they hear the news, they can all calm down, whether it is the palace envoy quietly contacting Zeng Xue and other close servants, or calling Wenwu to spy on Zhao Gou's mind, they can hold back and remain silent!

"It's okay for the Xing family, I don't want this Pan family to have such a heart!" It's really commendable!

And since this is the case, then he will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and continue to watch.

For a month, they can endure it; What about two months, three months?

Then Zhao Gou waited until the end of the year.

The winter of the Central Plains is still heavy snow, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, thinking about the winter of the future generations can not see three or two snows in a few months, a snow can not fall three or five centimeters deep, coupled with the many inaccuracies of the New Year, the New Year is really boring.

And now the New Year is different, the entire Bianjing City is lit up with lights and filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Whether it is the street of the market or the tile market of the restaurant, under the lanterns and colored paper hanging high, there are all crowds, like the fish crossing the river.

"This is the foundation of my Zhao family's world, and it will also be your foundation in the future."

Zhao Gou looked at the two sons, and today the father and son and the surrounding guards were all dressed in civilian clothes. Standing on the top floor of a restaurant in the sour jujube gate, overlooking by the railing, the surrounding bustle is in full view.

"Foundation?"

Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ying were a little ignorant.

What are they looking at now? Market vendors and commoners, is this the foundation of the court and itself? Father is joking.

Although in their education, these people are indeed the foundation of the world's society.

The name is beautiful: the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light.

But it's all a scene, just like saying that the two brothers are brothers.

So even if no one says it to them openly, the facts do not prevent them from having their own opinions in their hearts - compared to these sentient beings, officials, the army and the gentry will be the real cornerstone of the Zhao family's world, and they will be their foundation.

It's not because the teacher taught them that the four people of the world are important.

It's because their mother has reminded them more than once that they should make more friends and best friends in the palace school, and use this as a wing, so that they will have a solid foundation in the future.

Because the students of Gongxue are either rich or noble, their parents and grandparents are all important ministers of the country and generals in the army.

Ten years later, when the battle for the throne begins, the courtiers' support will be a very important bargaining chip.

"That's because you're not on the throne yet."

Zhao Ying was bolder, and opened his mouth to express his doubts. And Zhao Gou's answer made the doubts in the hearts of the two babies even greater, and the people were even more confused.

"Because you haven't ascended to the throne yet, because you still have to express yourself in front of your father, and you have to manage your prestige to compete for the throne, so you have to make a lot of friends in the palace now, just for the elders who are officials and soldiers behind them, which is very important to you."

"But when you successfully ascended to the position and sat on that chair, everyone's identity changed." Zhao Gou pointed in the direction of the imperial city and said. scared the little faces of Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ying white.

The two babies are very affectionate to Zhao Gou on weekdays, but they also know what that chair means, not to mention that they are not the prince, that is, the prince can't covet that position at all. Their old man is still very young.

"The emperor is the emperor, holding the power of the world and ruling thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. His loneliness is predestined by God, and the so-called loneliness is worthy of the name. Because the emperor can kill all the people in the world, naturally all people will be afraid of the emperor. The emperor is destined to have no friends. ”

"Look at the friends you have made in the palace school now, all of them have extraordinary backgrounds. Their grandfathers or ministers of the court, or important generals of the world, can give you a certain degree of help when you are fighting for the throne. Now you have a very good relationship with each other, and you may even feel that they are closer than your own brothers......"

Zhao Gou said this, Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ming, the faces of the two villains were sallow and white, and they all knelt on the ground with a pop.

"Get up, do I want you to kneel?"

His face turned pale, and Zhao Gou's voice became heavier. The two villains hurriedly got up, but the look on their faces was still scared.

"Look, we are father and son, I only have you two sons, I haven't been angry yet, you are so afraid, especially between father and son, when you are king, you still expect that you will have true friends in the future?"

Zhao thought of some of the secret reports he had read, and he felt like watching children play at home, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Although you were a prince before, and you might even be a prince, you are still the emperor's courtiers."

"The millennium has fallen, and there are not too many princes who have been given death in history, and there are not too many princes who have been deposed."

"It's this dynasty. The incident between your imperial uncle and your grandfather, another incident between your father and your imperial uncle, how many people in the world still remember it vividly. ”

"In a sense, you are no different from them now. You are essentially the same people. ”

"But the moment you sit on the dragon chair, the difference in identity will change everything. There is no friendship between father and son, but can you two and your respective friends have a friendship for a long time? ”

"By the time you all become kings, those who are ministers of the court and have military power in their hands, those who were your wings before, have actually become the people you need to be wary of."

"As for why you need to be vigilant, think about Wang Mang and Yang Jian in history, you should understand why you should be vigilant."

"As long as the court does not make the heavens angry and resentful, it is very difficult for the low-level people to rebel, and for the foundations of the world to shake, such as the Yellow Turban of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the anti-king of the late Sui Dynasty, the Yellow Nest of the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanhe Rebellion of the Song Dynasty, and the Fangla Uprising. But it is not difficult for the powerful ministers to seek the usurpation of the throne. ”

"Those people, you can reward them with gold, silver, and jewelry, and you can also promote their official positions, but you must do it in moderation."

"For the sake of kings, they must love their wings, but also restrain their wings, and do not give them the opportunity to indulge, and do not put them in a dangerous position to test the loyalty of the heart. Strict restraint is the best way to care for them. ”

Zhao Gou looked at the two dolls, and he didn't know if they could understand what he was saying now. Even if he has already explained it in very straightforward words.

"Today, the Father has brought you out to see the images of all living beings in this market, so that you may truly experience the life of the people. What's the point of being encircled in that tofu-big imperial city all the time? Come out for a walk and take a look, in order to truly understand the world. ”

Zhao Gou looked at the two babies, they have already walked around a lot today, although these two children are looking at the flowers, they finally understand how many copper coins a string of sugar gourds cost, a pound of cooked meat, a cooking cake, a few pieces of sugar and a few pennies, and know how much a pound of wine in the restaurant is worth, a carp, and a chicken.

With today's movement, Zhao Gou believes that his son will never be so stupid as to think that an egg costs dozens of taels of silver, so that the dignified emperor can't even afford to eat eggs!

It will not make the eternal joke of "why not eat minced meat".

"Father is saying that children can go out for more walks in the future?"

Zhao Ying asked happily. Today, I followed my Lao Tzu out of the imperial city to go shopping, and I saw a hundred images in the market, which is too attractive for a child like him who has grown up in the deep palace since childhood.

"It will be good for you to go out and walk more, to see the world more, and to have more contact with the people."
