Section 206 The importance of foresight
The young Zhao Gonglian coped with the emperor's insidious questioning, worked in the palace as usual, and did not sit quietly in the study for a long time until he returned home from work, gently breathed a long sigh of relief, and silently wiped off the cold sweat on his body.
It's so dangerous!
At this time, Zhao Gonglian had a good impression of the elegant, magnanimous and talented emperor, although he had been carefully walking the road of 'revolution' for several years with the ominous prophecy of his family or his magical brother, but in his heart he still had at least a little illusion about Emperor Zhao Ji.
But today's questioning made him finally fully recognize the domineering and ferocity of royal power.
King Anqing is vicious and shameless enough, for the sake of money and interests, he doesn't want to lose face. Emperor Zhao Ji turned out to be a shameless person who was extremely domineering and selfish. Elegance and self-cultivation are deceitful.
All of them are only for his own power and pleasure, and he is a lone husband who is secretly corrupted and corrupted.
Such a royal family, such an emperor, as predicted by his younger brother, will sooner or later reveal his ugly nature, wanton behavior, indulgence in pleasure, upward and downward effects, a bunch of absurd waste, rotten rule, and then encounter some external strong factors, encounter a catastrophic climate and other days that are not conducive to national security, it will not take too long to destroy the country.
Since ancient times, the road has been accompanied by a tiger like a tiger.
I believe in Zhao Ji and have beautiful fantasies about Zhao Ji, I am really naïve. Blind and loyal to such a royal family, sooner or later he will be tricked to death and he will not know how to die.
Thanks to the younger brother for his foresight.
Anyone who has illusions about the Song Dynasty and Zhao Ji will not have Zhao Yue either.
In his historical understanding, the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was the most common death of Chinese mainly Han Chinese.
In the past, the Han, Tang and Jin dynasties could not wait for a count, and the population of those dynasties was not much, and the death toll caused by the fall of the dynasty was naturally not high.
In the later Mengyuan Dynasty, even if the Braided Dynasty occupied and ruled all of China, the Han people who invaded and killed were far less than the death record of the Northern Song Dynasty. Compared with a series of brutal acts committed by the Jurchen Jin army in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as the appalling 'Jiading Three Massacres' and other massacres that exterminated humanity, they are completely small cases. Even the ferocity of the beasts and the killing efficiency of hot weapons in the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression are not as terrifying as the records of the Jin army in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty attached great importance to commerce, favored scholars, ruled loosely, introduced Champa rice to expand China's grain production unprecedentedly, developed the economy, medicine and diet, etc., and made great and even epoch-making progress, forming an unprecedented population of hundreds of millions.
In the disaster of the collapse of the dynasty, I am afraid that 50 or 60 million people died, whether it was a useful young and strong, hard-working and capable man, or a weak and 'useless' old and weak women and children, they were slaughtered and slaughtered by the Jin army at every turn, and they were killed and tortured to death......
Zhao Yue is a post-80s generation, and he has never experienced bloody wars such as anti-Japanese resistance, nor has he seen the tragedy of war in oil-producing areas, but as long as he thinks about the barbaric and murderous behavior of the Jurchens killing people like killing chickens and pigs, and thinks about the delicate and honest women, kind old people, and cute and ignorant children who were pounced and torn apart like Jurchen beasts, and when the scimitar waved his head and flew up, his scalp became numb.
Shudder.
At that time, the young Zhao Yue had no hope in the face of the numb, cowardly, blind and arrogant and vain Song people who could not be changed, and his thoughts were very negative, only thinking about guiding his family and close farmers to escape from the terrifying and bloody world that was bound to come.
In order to open up overseas living space as soon as possible, and in order to say that if you escape, you can get rid of the exploitation and pit of the Song Dynasty and get out of danger immediately, Zhao Zhuang's top priority is shipbuilding and navigation.
As a person who came from the era of freedom, civilization and legal system, Zhao Yue's deep understanding of the murderous and ruthless royal power in the era of feudal rule, the raging privileges, and the unprotected rights and interests of the people are also incomparable to anyone in the Song Dynasty.
No matter how lenient Zhao Song's rule was, no matter how warm he was to the common people, Zhao Yue would never dare to have self-deceptive expectations for the Song Dynasty.
This is a political death.
In terms of wealth, even in the era of democracy and the rule of law, power touched the lips of some officials, and the large enterprises that were industrious and uninteresting, which were originally well-run, had to 'go bankrupt' in minutes, and the business owners were either imprisoned or the whole family was unlucky, and in the Song Dynasty, the power of power without restraint and jealousy and extraordinary indulgence was magnified many times.
In this privileged environment, if Zhao Zhuang dares to show his sudden wealth and predictable amazing earning ability, I don't know how many black hands will stretch out wantonly.
To this end, Zhao Yue tried to persuade his parents and family, who did not have a deep understanding of the feudal dynasty and had a good impression of the Song rule, as well as the Zhao Zhuang people, who were eager to show off their peers when the poor suddenly became rich, and carefully laid out and insisted on implementing the business strategy from the outside in. The products that can be derived from the native of the Great Song Dynasty, such as soybean oil, new woven cotton cloth, etc., are only sold in the Song Kingdom, and they are not so noticeable as they are suddenly rich. Those new products created by advanced technology were the first to appear overseas.
Cangzhao commerce hid the name of Cangzhao and the traces of the Song people from all the scientific and technological products that could not suddenly appear in the Great Song Dynasty society, and first sold and fought and robbed the Wa State and the South China Sea countries, West Asia and other places that were closed to the sea and closed the country during this period, and found the overseas territory where they could quickly escape from the Song State to take refuge and settle in the Song State when it was critical, annexed and collected the ocean-going trade talents from all over the country, explored the sea routes, and carried out trade in Europe farther away, etc. The strong foundation in all necessary aspects such as manpower and combat effectiveness also had an excuse to create new products as a Song person, and then they started trading with the Song State on the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liao State, but during this period, they still tried to hide the true identity of the Song State Zhaozhuang people.
When you see the retreat, you have the ability to protect yourself, and the image of Zhao's brave resistance to Liao Kou's loyalty, patriotism, compassion and benevolence is also widely erected in front of the people of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gonglian's rookie image of Shilin genius and benevolent saint has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the world, with this invisible protective layer, Zhao Gonglian has also grown up, successfully embarked on a career and gained a foothold beside the emperor at the core of power, and Zhao Zhuang's high-tech products were carefully unveiled step by step in the Song Kingdom, revealing Zhao Zhuang's ability and potential to create wealth little by little.
The Song people saw the sudden rise of the Cangzhao family and the rolling of wealth, but it was actually a matter of late realization.
Cangzhao business broke out a few years ago, but it was not in the Song Kingdom.
For the powerful black hand that will be extended, the people of Zhao Zhuang have long been prepared. Zhao Yue is still a child, and the parents and grandmothers who are in charge of the family, even if the Song royal family dares to stretch out their hands, they must dare to fight back fiercely, decisively and resolutely. The more noble the royal family, the more strongly they had to fight back.
Only by daring to cut off the black hands of the royal family and shock the world, Zhao Zhuang has a chance to resist the countless other black hands that have reached out.
Against the royal power, this was something that Zhao Yue's parents and family would not dare to do at that time, no matter how rich and powerful they were. Even if in fact they have already embarked on the road of defection or even rebellion.
The reverence for royal power is the instinctive mentality of people in this era, and it is a powerful manifestation and proof of the success of feudal rule and Confucian education.
It took a lot of effort for Zhao Yue to convince his family to have the courage at that time.
What's so big about fighting against royal power?
If it really doesn't work, let's just retreat?
It is nothing more than an early evacuation, nothing more than the loss of many conveniences for the Song Kingdom, which is the most advanced and strong in the world's civilization and talent base, and nothing more than a lot of difficulties for gaining a foothold and development on a strange and wild and dangerous overseas island.
But there is no danger of extinction, but you can live freely and freely earlier, so what is there to be afraid of?
Zhao Yue patiently emphasized this repeatedly.
This is the most powerful reason to persuade the people of Manzhao Zhuang to dare to fiercely resist the royal power.
As for Zhao Gonglian, it will be dangerous to be trapped in Tokyo. Zhao Yue didn't dare to ignore the safety of his eldest brother, who was loved and highly valued by his grandmother and father, and he had already made a plan.
At that time, he already had a famous teacher like the unknown old way, and he had more power in doing things.
If the time comes to defeat the royal power, let the Tokyo magnates see the power of real gunpowder hot weapons early.
Even if Zhao Gonglian is arrested, he will never be beheaded immediately.
Even if the emperor or the royal family does not care about the physique and image at all, and is no longer shameless, they will first take hostages and force Zhao Zhuang to bow his head, so as to achieve the goal of shamelessly annexing the people's wealth in a way and at the cost of avoiding the image of the royal family as much as possible.
It was easy to break through the prison with high-violence explosives and kill the guards, and rescue Zhao Gonglian.
Moreover, Zhao Gonglian is not a weak scholar, and he is also a good hand at killing Liao Kou, and he may not have the short-term self-protection ability needed when he is rescued in prison.
The number of servants of the Earl's Mansion who entered Beijing with Zhao Gonglian was very small, but both men and women were brave and good at fighting and could sacrifice their lives to save the Lord. At that time, the Cangzhao family's restaurants and other business personnel in Tokyo could actually turn into warriors at any time. At the same time, Zhao Gonglian entered Beijing with many hidden soldiers. Coupled with the help of an unfathomable powerhouse like the nameless old man, it is more secure to help rescue Zhao Gonglian.
If Tokyo's counterattack is really powerful, then Lao Dao sneaked into the palace and hijacked Zhao Ji to let him go, or simply set a fire in Tokyo, so that the blindly optimistic and arrogant people of the Manchu Song Dynasty can clearly understand how fragile and indestructible the nature of the mighty and indestructible capital is, and how it is easy to destroy the capital from the inside.
In this era, the amazing capital of the Great Song Dynasty, with a population of one million, is crowded, the layout looks orderly, in fact, it is impossible to have the kind of urban planning of later generations, it is disorganized, the most terrible thing is that the buildings inside are just like the rich and poor are always determined according to the principle of 28, even if the proportion of rich people is higher as the capital, it is also a brick and tile high-grade house, and the vast majority of them are wooden plank structure houses and worse mud embryo thatched houses, which are easy to ignite and deliberately create a terrible catastrophe that spreads the whole city, especially by scientific and technological means.
It is not difficult to use explosives, phosphorus, fire oil and other weapons to burn down the palace built with countless paints, and it may not be impossible to quickly attack and burn the emperor who cannot escape.
It is not difficult to set fire to the forbidden army and take advantage of the chaos to open a way to abscond out of Tokyo.
The eldest son and eldest grandson will not be in a desperate situation in Tokyo, and Zhao Yue's grandmother and father will let go of the last bit of worry and jealousy, and dare to fight against the royal family.
This is also the tide of Zhao Gonglian's confidence that he can not be chaotic in the face of the joint pressure of the emperor and the king of Anqing.
If you, as a royal family, dare to shamelessly bully me and destroy my family, then I will let you taste the taste of destruction in advance, cut off your rich and hedonistic life with good reincarnation skills, and send you to heaven as soon as possible.
Of course, Zhao Gonglian's personal political excellence and extraordinary courage are also key factors.
If it is a soft bone straw bag, no matter how good the cards prepared by Zhao Yue, they will be smashed by their pig teammates.
This dangerous accident also opened Zhao Gonglian's eyes, recognized many cruel and disappointing realities, and matured politically faster.
At that time, when he was still a teenager, he silently thought: Even if the hard-working, simple and innocent people of the world can have a chance to escape the disaster of war that will come sooner or later, I must lift my spirits and unswervingly carry out the family plan advocated by my younger brother.
He is a seedling who is naturally good at playing politics, and his political understanding is extremely high, and he has been threatened by his staff members Gao Shen Wen Huanzhang and others, and the teenager has become more and more stable in politics.
But the disasters and trials did not end there.
King Anqing played a conspiracy for a long time, but in the end he finally lost the emperor's tacit approval and even strong support, and failed to kill Zhao Gonglian, and it was even more infeasible to annex Zhaozhuang's industry. He already keenly felt that the emperor was a little distant from him, and even felt that the emperor seemed to have a wary heart towards him.
The emperor also implicitly warned him not to fight Zhao Zhuang's idea again, and asked him, as Zong Zhengqing, who managed the affairs of the royal family, to also warn other royal families not to calculate Zhao Zhuang's estate.
The royal family is an example for the subjects of the world, and it should not be done lightly. Competing with the people for profit, which is easy to provoke the world, cannot be done.
Your embezzlement of Zhao Zhuang this time has been too arrogant and domineering, and it has caused a storm in the city, which has caused me too much trouble, and you have made too much trouble. Be careful about your orthodox status.
Although the owner of Zhao Zhuang is in a false position, how can he also be the general of the dynasty, and the leader is the brave township soldiers of Cangzhou, who has made great contributions to the defense of the country against Liaokou, and Zhao Gonglian is a world-renowned scholar and earl, and you are a lowly person in charge of the Anqing Wangfu District, and you dare to block the door of others unscrupulously and open your mouth to ask people to give up all their industries obediently?
My domestic servants are not so big-hearted.
The thugs raised in your house actually have a master of green forest gangsters, and if you can't force it, you dare to brazenly attack Zhaozhuang in broad daylight and slaughter the people with swords?
Blind and damned.
That is, Zhao Zhuang people have practiced to fight Liao Kou, and it is not easy to bully, otherwise your thugs don't know how much bloody case they can make and shock the world. He deserved to be killed.
This is the holy will that Zhao Ji roughly revealed to King Anqing.
King Anqing was surprised by this unexpected result and Zhao Jiyi, who he had always known very well.
Although he had already installed a powerful eyeliner in the palace, he couldn't figure out how Zhao Gonglian persuaded the emperor in private and easily turned the tables.
He realized the signs of danger and had to lie down honestly again, but his hatred for Zhao Gonglian, his greed for Zhao Zhuang, and his disdain and hatred for Zhao Ji were also stronger.
He began to operate the network of relationships that he had secretly built, which was already quite large, and it was difficult to calculate Zhao Gonglian.
However, at that time, Zhao Gonglian was the secretary of the emperor's side, only responsible for reviewing and filtering the folds on behalf of the emperor, and did not assume other responsibilities, no practical duties, no real responsibilities to bear, it was just a lot of mistakes, like Zhao Gonglian, who was 'not doing anything', it was not wrong, and it was difficult for King Anqing to trap from official duties.
Zhao Gonglian is only responsible for the emperor alone, in fact, there is no superior, no subordinate, no real colleagues, the only one who is barely a colleague Liang Shicheng is responsible for supervision, or Zhao Gonglian's buddies are actively and loyally following Zhao Gonglian and getting a promotion from it, and King Anqing has no chance to stumble on the interpersonal relationship of his colleagues.
At the same time, the little boy Zhao Gonglian has a lot of invisible power, and I don't know why Zhao Ji trusts this young official so much, in fact, Zhao Gonglian is in a monopoly position in dealing with the folds, even the prime minister Cai Jing wants to communicate with the emperor and has to pass Zhao Gonglian's hand first, Cai Jing is also very polite and tolerant to the young man on the surface, and King Anqing wants to frame him in terms of twists and turns, where is the opportunity.
This hate.
Finally waited for Zhao Gonglian to leave the position of secretary Lang and release the palace as a practical officer to have a chance to start, who knew that the young man turned into Gyeonggi Zhixian County, and drastically implemented the high-yield and excellent crops introduced by the Cangzhao family from overseas, and got the emperor's special approval to start a test area, and his position in the county was unique, and the emperor had high expectations and strong support, no one could contain him, and soon made amazing achievements Subversively began to change the situation of grain, vegetables, fruits, etc. in the Great Song Dynasty, and merit and fame were almost inviolable.
When Zhao Gonglian returned to Beijing, he was still the emperor's secretary, but he had become a big and small minister, and he was really a figure that the prime minister had to weigh if he wanted to reach out.
Then, Zhao Gonglian returned to his hometown in Cangzhou with the emperor's expectation of reorganizing the Northern Army, and from then on, the dragon returned to the sea tiger and returned to the deep mountains, and it was out of control.
