Chapter 626: Zhao Xu Asks for Advice (II)
With Lu Tingxin taking the lead, Zhao Xu naturally had a way to get a list of such forbidden army generals, as for how to deal with them, it was not something that Yang Huairen should care about.
Although the soldiers did not kill themselves, Yang Huairen felt that according to the heart of an emperor, Zhao Xu was unwilling to leave them in the forbidden army in the land of Gyeonggi.
"Today, both Yang Aiqing have shown their loyalty to me, and I am very relieved."
Zhao Xu suddenly came to such a compliment again, and Yang Huairen was not easy to answer, but Zhao Xu continued to say as if talking to himself, "It's better for the two Yang Aiqing to help me take care of these forbidden troops." ”
Now Yang Huairen understood that although Zhao Xu did not intend to hold them accountable for all the forbidden troops who were going to enter the city with that part of the generals today, in his heart, he had to treat them like class enemies.
For example, separate them from the establishment of the forbidden army, and then transfer them to a less important place, and let Yang Huairen or Yang Shihu guard them in captivity.
In this way, they will never have the light of day in their lives, and the existence of such an army is no different from that of imprisoned prisoners.
Yang Huairen didn't think about it, and directly answered, "It's better to hand them over to Weichen." Wechen promised to train them into an army loyal to the Holy One. ”
Zhao Xu seemed to understand the meaning of Yang Huairen's words at once, and remembered that when he returned to Beijing from Huanzhou, he talked about how he treated the tens of thousands of Western Xia captives who were captive, and a word suddenly popped up in his heart.
"When Aiqing told me about it, it was like treating those Western Xia captives, what is that word called here?"
"Brainwashing?"
Yang Huairen blurted out.
"Yes, it's brainwashing."
Zhao Xu smiled, "This word is interesting, I've only heard of laundry and quilting, it turns out that the head can also be used to wash, hehe." ”
Yang Huairen smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart that the entire literati of the Great Song Dynasty had been brainwashed by a great Confucian like Ercheng, and this kind of thing still sounds fresh?
It's just that you are also one of those brainwashed people, and you rely on your noble status and can't notice it.
Yang Huairen thought about it, in fact, this is good, the progress of the college's project is going so fast, every day is a new look, it is estimated that after this summer, it will be partially put into use in the autumn.
The matter of enrollment should be considered now, there may not be fewer people who learn to cook, but there may not be a lot of them, and cooking is also a technical job, not just a random person has talent, the first batch of people who can recruit seven or eight hundred people, even if it is good.
And the military academy hidden inside, in fact, there is no need to hide it now, Zhao Xu knew that Yang Huairen had such an idea, and now he is taking advantage of the stubble of these soldiers of the forbidden army, it is better to put things on the table.
Besides, what Zhao Xu just said was that he and Yang Shihu should deal with this matter, for Yang Huairen, it was equivalent to pulling Yang Shihu onto his boat, which was exactly what he wanted to do before but couldn't.
Zhao Xu's mood suddenly improved, raised his head to look at the tablet of his Zhao family's ancestors, and bowed respectfully.
Yang Huairen was not easy to watch behind him, and he also bowed down.
Zhao Xu raised his head, looked up at the roof, and suddenly said with a lot of emotion, "I ascended the throne at the age of nine, but today, that is, from that moment just now, I really have the feeling of being an emperor. ”
Yang Huairen said in his heart, you have finally reached that stage of pride. Yang Huairen has some experience of Zhao Xu's feelings now, but he doesn't dare to say that he can understand what he has experienced in the past seven or eight years.
He is obviously the emperor of the Ninety-Five, but because he was too young when he succeeded to the throne, he could only live under the wings of his grandmother.
On the surface, he has power, but he has never exercised this power in major state affairs, just like a person who feels that he is full of strength, but he can't use it anyway.
is also like other emperors who go to court, but unfortunately he sits on the dragon chair that is so gorgeous that it is exaggerated, more like an ornament.
It's not that you didn't give up on yourself and said to the ministers, "Just ask my grandmother about everything, and you didn't take me seriously anyway."
Sadly, although the courtiers were embarrassed to hear this, they still did what they said.
But today, it's different, he, the emperor, has finally taken back his power and has a kind of ambition to swallow mountains and rivers.
Yang Huairen knew that after Zhao Xu took power, there was another wave of bloody rain in the court. Zhao Xu, the former minister of Yuanyou during the reign of Empress Dowager Gao, couldn't believe it, or some resentment buried in his heart.
In the next year, Zhao Xu summoned a large number of new parties, regained control of the court, and emptied all those old ministers of Yuanyou from power, or directly drove them out of the court and demoted them to local areas.
During this period, the party struggle once again entered a climax, and after the members of the new party who had regained power occupied the center of the imperial court, they took advantage of the emperor's thunderous anger to carry out a frenzied revenge and liquidation of the old party.
The darkest thing is that many people used all kinds of shady means to carry out private attacks and revenge, so that many people who were originally governing the country at that time died with hatred.
It was precisely because of such internal friction that the Great Song Dynasty entered a situation of irreparable political chaos.
Yang Huairen knew everything that was going to happen in the future, but he couldn't care about it. It seems that he is very favored now, but unfortunately his ability and strength are still too small, and he really can't control the change of the situation in the court, let alone stop the wheel of history from rolling forward in this matter.
What he can do is to do what is within his ability, train a group of professional soldiers, and prevent the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the same time, he vigorously promoted his food revolution, so that the Great Song Dynasty underwent a radical change from the bottom up.
It was late at night, and the hall was a little terrifyingly quiet, obviously it was summer at the end of June, but Yang Huairen felt a burst of coldness on his back.
Zhao Xu stood up, walked to the tablet of the Divine Sect, and said as if crying, "Father, what you didn't do back then, the emperor will definitely help you do it." ”
Yang Huairen wanted to sigh, but he didn't dare to make a sound. In his eyes, Zhao Xu can be regarded as a rational ideal and ambitious.
Maybe it was because the previous seven or eight years were too depressing, which led to him being too arrogant after he came to power, and he began to engage in the reform and new policies of Shenzong that had failed twice, and finally ended in failure, and in the end he also became depressed, and finally became obsessed with women, and became a short-lived emperor in history.
Human character is always stubborn. Yang Huairen couldn't rely on his relationship with Zhao Xu at this level to stand up and persuade him bitterly, but the result must be that he was going to be unlucky, and he had to bring his mother, wife and children.
He suddenly remembered that there was still a character that had not yet been formed, and maybe there were people who were saved, and maybe he was more in line with his requirements.
