Chapter 361: The Waste Son of Heaven and the Emperor of the Nest

The contradiction between the natives and immigrants in Nanyang is only one of the many contradictions in the huge Great Song Empire, which has become increasingly acute because of the increase in the number of immigrants, and there is no lack of promotion by the extremist forces of a certain sect behind it - since the Great Song Dynasty turned Nanyang into its own inland sea, the forces of a certain sect have been dealt a heavy blow, not only the trade between the East and the West that they have always controlled is completely attributed to the Great Song Dynasty, but also their barbaric way of building temples and missionaries has been strongly resisted by the Great Song Dynasty.

They held a scimitar in one hand and a scroll in the other, and now their scriptures could not be accepted by the Song people, so they had to use the scimitar, and the assassination of Meng Xisheng in Xilan a few years ago was only the beginning, and the two years of inciting the natives who believed in their sect in Nanyang to attack the Song people would not be the end.

For such a huge empire as the Great Song Dynasty, it is a very important issue to deal with the relationship between the people of the empire and the natives in the conquered areas, fortunately, most of the natives did not have any national consciousness at this time, and after the conquest, they were given a way to live, especially so that they could be naturalized and naturalized as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, which was enough to soothe their doubts and uneasiness. Such stubborn people as the Nanyang natives, after all, are a minority, more natives, still live their own lives, and the Great Song Dynasty does not collect taxes from them, on the contrary, the trade with the Great Song Dynasty natives makes their lives richer, of course, provided that they are not as lazy as the Nanyang natives.

"The Nanyang natives can be solved by expelling and killing, but other natives can't, and the officials must come up with a long-term strategy yesterday to make the naturalization of the natives faster." After writing down Zhao and Ju's instructions, Wei Liaoweng said again.

"Not only the natives, but also the immigrants, as Qing said, overseas territories are the cornerstone of the strength of our Great Song Dynasty, and they cannot be easily abandoned. Zhao Heju said: "The princes of the foreign dynasties must take time to draft a code that stipulates that the people of the Great Song Dynasty who live in overseas territories must have the same rights as the local people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

At the time of Zhao's travel, the collapse of British colonial rule in the Americas was not the result of a clash of cultures, but also due to the unequal policies adopted by Britain itself in order to limit the development of the colonies. Britain had no choice but to adopt this policy at that time, because Europe, which had long practiced a feudal system, had a strong tendency to secede, and if the colonies were allowed to develop like Britain itself, then Britain, with its small territory and small population, would not be able to control the colonies at all. Therefore, they adopted short-sighted measures to quench their thirst and squeeze the people's land to enrich themselves, which limited the independent tendencies of the colonies for a short time and strengthened their control over the colonies, but when the people of the colonies really rose up to resist, the contradictions between the two sides became irreconcilable.

Zhao and Ju believed that this would not be the case with the Great Song Dynasty, and he also imposed certain restrictions on the overseas territories of the Great Song Dynasty, such as the number of people in the cities to which they immigrated. However, he was not prepared to regard this as a permanent policy, on the basis of the unification and industrialization of the Great Song Dynasty itself, unless all overseas territories were completely united to compete with the Great Song Dynasty, any territory would be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength with the Great Song Dynasty, even Dongshengzhou. As a result, these overseas territories did not have the strength to break away from the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, the idea of great unification has existed in the land of China for many years, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty have had the will to unify for thousands of years, and this willingness is really helpful for maintaining the unity of China.

Song Ci heard the words of the Son of Heaven and Wei Liaoweng, and set the direction of overseas events, and secretly admired in his heart. Wei Liaoweng's erudition and strong memory of the court's data, and the Son of Heaven's generous protection of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, made him feel that the Great Song Dynasty was not fortunate to have today. Naturally, out of his sensitivity to the law, the Son of Heaven ordered the foreign court to draw up legal provisions, which surprised him even more.

Since ancient times, the power to legislate has been vested in the Son of Heaven, and the so-called Son of Heaven has become a constitution. The Son of Heaven will also ask the minister to draft legal provisions, but the decision is always in the hands of the Son of Heaven, it can be seen that the Son of Heaven and Wei Liaoweng mean, it seems that the Son of Heaven intends to hand over the power of legislation, at least the right to legislate on how to treat overseas subjects fairly, to the foreign court, and the Son of Heaven only signs and seals.

"It's no wonder that the policy of reforming the official system has been responded to by most of the Shilin, so it is!"

Song Ci is a smart person, and he understands in a blink of an eye that this is also a concession by the Son of Heaven to the court, and the foreign court has obtained part of the legislative power, so it is natural to transfer part of the administrative power to the cabinet, and the cabinet is the department that specifically handles the practice.

Thinking carefully about the measures taken by the Son of Heaven since he took office, from taking power to taking power to delegating power and transferring power, the Son of Heaven seems to have been prepared for a long time, and he saw the changes after 15 years 15 years ago.

"Your Majesty, the natives of Nanyang should not be too harsh." Song Ci saw that the Son of Heaven was looking at him at this time, as if he was asking for his opinion, so he calmly said ten words.

"This guy really doesn't like to talk, so far, every sentence is concise and to the point!" Zhao Youju was a little funny, but Song Ci was ready to use it greatly, so he had to explain the matter of Nanyang.

"Song Qing, the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty is the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so whoever offends the people of my Great Song Dynasty is the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty. I am not the Emperor Yang of Sui who suppressed himself to flatter himself, nor was I the Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty who sacrificed his daughter to seek peace! ”

"If it were the people of the Great Song Dynasty, then I would naturally treat them equally, but if some local people were unwilling to be the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they tried in vain to separate themselves from the Great Song Dynasty, and even used the cruelty of our Chinese people to achieve their sinister purposes...... What is the use of the people paying taxes and supporting the guards of the Criminal Department? What is the purpose of the forbidden army and the guards who keep the military department? What is the purpose of raising these officials with me, the emperor and the emperor? ”

"If the court does not think about the safety of the people, then the people will not take the rise and fall of the court as their own thoughts, and the court will treat the enemy leniently and the people strictly, then the people will not believe in the court and believe in the enemy, which is the eternal truth! Some time ago, some corrupt Confucians impeached Li Ye and Wang Qinian, saying that the first month was my birthday, and it was the fifteenth anniversary of my pro-government. The people are not happy, even if I have a 60th birthday, what is there to celebrate? The people are uneasy, what is the use of me being in power for 17 years? It's just a waste of the Son of Heaven and a nest emperor! ”

Zhao Youju suddenly said these words excitedly, which made Wei Liweng and Song Ci a little surprised, and then looked at the face of the Son of Heaven, there was a little sour.

After Wei Liaoweng took the order and left, Zhao Heju took the time to explain to Song Ci: "I came here to ask you to start the course of criminal investigation and forensic science, and secondly, there is another matter, the overseas leaders must also build a military protection organization, so that the navy can gradually withdraw, I will hand over this matter to you, if you want money and people, you just go to Zhao Kui." ”

Song Ci was a little surprised in his heart, but he immediately understood that Zhao Youju was really ready to use him greatly, and he was quite relieved about his level of knowledge, but for him to handle specific affairs, the Son of Heaven still needed to arrange one thing to test.

Out of the palace, Song Ci muttered about how to complete the task assigned to him by the Son of Heaven, but he didn't want to bump into a person head-on, that person fell to the ground in response, and a person next to him grabbed his hand violently, and said sharply: "Okay, you Song Hui's father, it's just that you don't see the courtesy when you meet me, and you even hit someone and commit murder, come and come, come and follow me to see the official!" ”

Song Ci's heart tightened, he raised his eyes to look, and felt that this person was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "Liu Qianfu!" ”

The man was also in his fifties, slightly chubby, and had a big belly that was very eye-catching. Seeing that Song Ci recognized himself, the man's face was still full of expression: "It's too late for you to want to make friends with Lao Tzu now, hurry up and follow me to see the official, this person has been damaged by you!" ”

The two are acquaintances, but they haven't seen each other for many years, Song Ci knows his temper, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "You can't catch up with Su Zizhan when it's out of time, this big belly is more than Po Lao!" ”

Hearing that Su Shi was compared to him, this Liu Qianfu suddenly smiled, and pulled up the person who was lying on the ground and pretended to be dead: "Okay, don't pretend, this guy is the best at judging cases and prisons, and next time he pulls a real dead corpse to scare him!" ”

The person who was pulled up was also full of smiles, but he was young, about twenty-seven or eighteen, not even thirty, handsome in his eyes, and his appearance was quite extraordinary. The man saluted Song Ci with a fist and said: "When the Duke of the Hou Village sees that Song Gong is thoughtful, he wants the kid to perform this experience, and Song Gong is not to blame for the jokes." The surname is Jia, the name is like the Tao, the word Shixian, and he met Song Gong here. ”

It turns out that the surname Liu's name Kezhuang, the word Qianfu, the number of the village, is one of the best in the world, and he is the most respectful of Lu You and Xin Qiji, and his temperament is also a little witty. Like Song Ci, he also studied under Zhendexiu, and the two can be regarded as the same family, but they have entered their respective careers and have not seen each other for 20 years.

"Father Hui came out of the palace?" After the ceremony, Liu Kezhuang took Song Ci's hand: "The official family personally met Father Hui?" ”

Song Ci nodded, and Liu Kezhuang and Jia Yidao's eyes suddenly lit up, and their envy was beyond words. Liu Kezhuang said: "Some time ago, I heard that Song Hui's father was going to be of great use, and now I look at it, it's really the case!" ”

"The submerged husband has already entered the court, and his achievements are far above mercy." Song Ci said.

After all, the palace gate was not a place to talk before, Liu Kezhuang invited Song Ci to the restaurant to talk about it, Song Ci remembered the instructions of the Son of Heaven, and could only confess: "There is still an urgent matter, you need to go to the criminal department, and please Haihan." ”

Seeing that he was indeed in a hurry, Liu Kezhuang was not reluctant, so he could only agree on the time of the next reunion, and seeing him hurriedly walk to the carriage, Liu Kezhuang looked at Jia Ru and said, "Shixian, where are you going now?" ”

"Originally, I followed the Houcun Gong to block people here, but since the people were blocked, the purpose was achieved." Jia Rudao squinted, a little lazy.

It was not a coincidence that they met Song Ci this time, but an intentional move. Jia Rudao was one of the first teenagers to enter the Lin'an Primary School after Zhao and Ju were in power. He is intelligent by nature, and he is very easy to learn, but it is precisely because of this that he is not profound, and he can also stand out with his cleverness at the beginning, but after reaching the middle school, he begins to lag behind, and when he has to take the exam at the University of Ann, he is even more famous.

He was very unwilling, so he made friends with some scholars who were up and down in the capital, such as Liu Kezhuang was one of them. For his cleverness, Liu Kezhuang admires him very much, and can even be said to be amazing, although the two are very different in age, they have also formed close friends, and Liu Kezhuang has spared no effort to promote him and introduce him to his old friends.

"Exactly, the next time we meet, I'll tell him about you." Liu Kezhuang said.

"Thank you, Houcun." Jia Rudao hurriedly thanked him.

"Why bother thanking, it is the duty of my generation to recommend people for the world. If it weren't for the true discernment, I would have been just an ordinary scholar. "Liu Kezhuang is a little conceited.

Jia Rudao smiled and didn't take the conversation. Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng are now over sixty years old, they are aging, even Yelu Chucai and Xiao Bolang are over fifty years old, and today's Zisheng Shou is also thirty-five, Chen Zicheng, Chen Ren, Meng Xisheng and others he brought out are all close to forty years old, and among those in their twenties, Jia Yidao's self-confidence is outstanding. As long as he is given a chance, sooner or later, he will be able to ascend to the position of one person and ten thousand people above the throne and preside over the political situation of the Great Song Dynasty, just like Wei Liweng is now.

What he compares with himself is always a big man who can dominate the center, and Liu Kezhuang and Song Ci are just a ladder in his own ascending path.

At this time, they saw a chamberlain suddenly rush out of the palace, and the chamberlain gave a few orders, and then more than a dozen people at the door immediately dispersed and left quickly.

"What's wrong?" Jia Yidao and Liu Kezhuang looked at each other in surprise when they saw this change.

Just a moment ago, in the palace, Zhao Heju looked very sad, he looked at the person kneeling in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Get up...... Go and summon Wei Weng. ”

As soon as Wei Liaoweng left, he summoned him again, so naturally something big happened.

At the end of February in the spring of the fourteenth year of Yanhuang, Cui He died of illness.

Cui He was already eighty and three at this time, but his health was still good, and Zhao Heju also visited him during the Spring Festival, and felt that his complexion was better than that of Yanhuang in the thirteenth year. In fact, his legs and feet have always been very nimble, and occasionally he can take the train to several cities around Lin'an to collect wind, his death came very suddenly, after lunch he sat in the courtyard with a book and read, when the servant realized that something was wrong, he had already choked, the whole process was silent, and there was no pain. The family did not dare to slack off, on the one hand, they carried out the coffin that had been prepared for the funeral, and on the other hand, they sent someone to report to the Son of Heaven.

In the past ten years of Zhao and Ju, Cui's relationship with him can be described as very delicate, thinking that from now on, no courtier will dare to go to his palace to ask for things, Zhao and Ju feel sad in their hearts.

Indeed, the first thing he thought of was what Cui He had been a scoundrel to ask him to take away over the years, and he always felt that Cui He looked at him, not just the lord, although Cui He was very hidden, but occasionally, Zhao Youju still felt a kind of relief and pride from the old man's gaze that the elders looked at the younger generations.

Even in Zhao Heju's heart, he did not regard Cui He as a simple courtier, but also a good teacher, a good friend and a close elder.

Only those who sit in this position know what it means to be alone, even if Zhao Heju is so calm and self-controlled, but deep down, he always longs for friendship and family affection. Cui He's death means that he has one less mentor and close elder who understands him and helps him.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Youju turned his back to prevent the chamberlain from seeing the tears in his eyes.

Note 1: Su Shi was obese and had a big belly, and once stroked his belly to his concubine, he claimed that it was out of place to have a full belly.

Note 2: Liu Kezhuang had a very good relationship with Jia Nidao, and in his later years, he was ridiculed by the people of the time because of his adherence to Jia Nidao. However, I think that in the situation of the late Song Dynasty, Jia Rudao is really powerless, if it is not for the loss of personal morality, his person may not be a bad person, saying that Jia seems to be misleading the country, but it is just those pedantic scholars and doctors who shirk their responsibilities, and the most important thing is that Jia Shidao practices the public land system and infringes on their interests.
