The education of the prince has always been the focus of the monarch's attention, so Zhao Shu assigned a few attendants to his son, and personally asked him about his homework every once in a while......

And Han Qi and the others will also ask about the prince's situation from time to time to show their concern.

It all comes from fear.

When Emperor Renzong succeeded to the throne, he was too young and did not receive good teaching, so that Liu E listened to the government and almost became Wu Zetian's second.

This can't happen again, so everyone is staring at the prince, hating him to mature immediately.

The so-called education, most of which is a subset of scripture and history, but as a future prince and emperor, there is a compulsory course, that is, the lessons of the emperors of the past dynasties, which is the so-called dragon slaying.

Learning from the successes and failures of previous emperors is what the monarchs and ministers ask of the princes, and what they most admire is the political ecology of a thousand years ago.

The king and his courtiers sat together to discuss state affairs, and everyone smiled.

The people supported the king and his courtiers, and the king went out to drink, and when he met the people, he could make a body together......

This is very hilarious, but the reality is that at that time, the population was small, the people were ignorant, and the king did not have much knowledge and experience.

And in the back, the situation changed, the first emperor was called the emperor, and the emperor lived in the nine heavens, claiming to be the son of God, referred to as the Son of Heaven, and ruled the world instead of God. Since then, the emperor has gradually detached himself from the people and the ministers, and the so-called lonely family is probably what it means.

The people present were all important ministers, and they had to ask the people's opinions before administering any government, and they naturally scoffed at this kind of statement.

The ministers of the country have to ask the opinions of the people when they do things, do you really have nothing to do for a day as an old man?

If that's the case, then everyone doesn't have to do anything, and they are messing with the people all day long, so what kind of important minister?

But political correctness has been used throughout history.

The question raised by Zhao Ji must be correct.

"The king is smart, that's exactly the case."

"The king has comprehended such a truth, and the minister is very pleased, very pleased!"

"It seems that those attendants are still good, and I ask Your Majesty to return and reward them."

Zhao Shu also nodded slightly, very happy.

In any case, the prince's posture of being good at accepting advice is an excellent start.

"So, can public opinion be a reason for governance?" Zhao Ji continued to ask.

"Of course!" No one is going to deny this question in public, otherwise they are stupid.

"The minister thinks that the king has comprehended the essence of learning, and the minister congratulates His Majesty."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

A group of courtiers bowed down to congratulate, and Zhao Shu smiled; "He is still young, and he has to continue to work hard, and Zhu Qing will have to teach him more in the future."

The ministers congratulated again, and for a while the atmosphere in the hall was jubilant, and everyone looked at Zhao Shu with a lot of kindness in their eyes.

This prince and Shen An are mixed up, and they have also done deviant things, and now it seems that they have changed their ways, which is really gratifying!

Zhao Ji looked at them and handed over the stack of papers.

"A few days ago, the minister entrusted the students of Bishan Academy to make an inquiry, and they traveled all over Bianliang City, asking many people, from all walks of life...... Now the results are here. ”

"Oh!"

Zhao Shu heard this kind of method of asking public opinion for the first time, and couldn't help but say curiously: "What did you ask?" ”

Zhao Ji raised his head and said calmly: "Should the Great Song Dynasty cancel the New Year's coin?" ”

The hall fell silent immediately.

Some of the courtiers were full of black lines, some were annoyed, and some were sneering......

But there is one thing in common, and that is grievance.

Everyone praised the prince, but who would have thought that he would immediately take out this thing and slap him in the face.

Don't you agree that the people should be listened to in their governance? Come, the will of the people is coming.

Zhao Shu's face was pale, and he had already scolded countless rebels in his heart.

I said that I would discuss it again, that is, I would wait for the opportunity next year to see the opportunity and see the reaction of the Liao State before making a decision. But this rebel has admonished again and again, and this time he has made some public opinion.

But he had praised Zhao Ji before, so he could only say with a straight face: "Tell me." ”

Zhao Ji took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the students of the academy have asked many people in Bianliang this time, and seventy-five percent of the people agree with the abolition of the New Year's coin......"

"Seven-five?"

Han Qi couldn't help but change color.

Is this the will of the people?

Someone said: "The minister always thought that the people would be afraid of the Liao. After all, once the New Year's coin was abolished, the Liao people became the opponents of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty needed to be on guard against them going south at all times...... But are the people not afraid? ”

Zhao Ji said: "The people are afraid, but some people say ......"

He thought for a moment, "The man was a traveling merchant, and he said that he had traveled all over the north and south, and that the south was flourishing, but the north was full of fortified armies. The people in the north were numb, and when they asked, they said that they didn't know when the Liao people would fight, and when the time came, everyone would become slaves of the Liao people, what hope was there? ”

The people in the north have been facing the threat of the Liao people for a hundred years, and they have also experienced the invasion and killing of the Liao people, and they are all afraid.

Zhao Shumu said with a wooden face: "People say that the lord humiliates the ministers to death, but when I heard about this at the moment, I felt that the people were humiliated, and I, the emperor, should also die." ”

"The ministers are guilty," the ministers saluted and pleaded guilty.

It's a cutscene, and it's a routine.

Zhao Ji continued: "When the news of the defeat of the Liao Emperor at Yanmen Pass reached the north, it could be said that the whole world celebrated, and those people took out the little money they had saved to drink, and the family drank drunk, and stayed up all night, extremely happy. ”

He said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the minister has carefully read the results of this inquiry, and then I know that the greatest hope of the people is that the country and the people are safe, and they have no worries about food and clothing, so that the prosperous era ......is coming."

The people's requirements have never been high, and it is just four words to settle down.

But these four words are particularly difficult.

Zhao Shu frowned slightly, but Han Qi sighed, "Your Majesty, the people are uneasy, and the sin lies in Zaifu." ”

"It's my fault." Zhao Shu was not the kind of emperor who liked to play tricks, he rejected Han Qi's plea, looked at his son and asked, "What else do you know?" ”

This tone is not quite right, probably angry, but trying to endure it.

A storm is coming.

Ouyang Xiu was making his eyes, but his eyes were not very good, but the look was given to the wrong person, and when Fu Bi saw it, he thought that old Ouyang was letting himself stand out.

Old Ouyang is a good person!

Fu Bi, who urgently needed to find an ally in the political hall, said: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council is not effective, resulting in repeated defeats in the Great Song Dynasty...... Ahem, ahem! ”

He is an old courtier, and there have been many times in the past, and each time he was ineffective and led to failure.

Accustomed to nature, he casually came to the old routine, and then he felt that it was wrong.

The ministers couldn't help but laugh, but Zhao Ji said: "Even the rich minister thinks that the Great Song Dynasty should be defeated, why?" The minister thought that there was something reminding him from time to time...... That's ...... New Year's Coins! ”

The crowd was silent.

Zhao Ji said: "The traveling merchant finally said that the Great Song Dynasty has won many battles, but the New Year's Coin has never stopped, so they all feel that the Great Song Dynasty is worried that it will be defeated in the future, so they dare not annoy the Liao people at this moment." Your Majesty......"

He was really angry, "The people looked at the New Year's coin, first, they were ashamed, and second, they thought that the monarchs and ministers of the court were still afraid of the Liao people, so they didn't dare to cancel the New Year's coin...... But are we really afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!" Zhao Shu shook his head, he had never been afraid of the Liao people.

"But this matter involves the whole body, once it is ......"

Zhao Shu stopped talking and looked at his young son, and couldn't help but think of his own time.

At that time, I was also full of ambition, and I also thought about changing the Great Song Dynasty......

Now he is transforming the Great Song Dynasty, but his son is more anxious than him.

Han Qi looked at Zhao Ji and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the king is young and anxious, but his intentions are good...... The minister felt that this matter...... Why don't you take them to discuss it? ”

The official's face turned dark, obviously on the verge of madness, and the prince was also stubborn, if you don't agree today, let's break the reason.

Whether it is from the perspective of father and son or from the perspective of monarchs and ministers, Zhao Ji's behavior has a bit of a taste of death.

Han Qi's persuasion at this moment was extremely appropriate, just before the contradiction broke out.

Sima Guang looked at Zhao Ji, who still refused to bow his head, and said: "The Liao people have been eyeing the Great Song Dynasty for many years, but they have not gone south on a large scale, and the main reason is the New Year's coin. ”

Zhao Ji's eyelids moved, and Sima Guang continued: "The taxes of the Liao people...... To tell the truth, it's really pitiful, with this money, the life of the Liao people is much better. But once they go south, the money will definitely be gone, so Yelu Hongji will have to think about whether it is worth it...... I think it's worth it. ”

As a rookie of the conservative faction, Sima Guang is very favored by those people, and various resources are available together, making Sima Guang famous.

The so-called nourishment, the most important thing is that someone praises it for you, otherwise it is not called nourishing hope, but seclusion.

"How long will it take?"

Zhao Ji asked suddenly.

Sima Guang was stunned, and then said with a smile: "This should be seen more, and it ...... be adapted to local conditions."

This is the Tai Chi pusher, which is impeccable.

"But the people can't wait!"

Zhao Ji was furious, "Those people asked, since the Great Song Dynasty has won many battles, why do they still give them New Year's coins?" The Liao people discussed with the Western Xia people and wanted to form an alliance and merge one to the south...... Such a Liao State, why did the Great Song Dynasty still succumb to it? Such a Liao State, whether or not to give New Year's coins, can it affect their decision to go south? I thought I couldn't! If I can, I'm willing to go to the border to be a pawn! ”

He knelt down slowly, and the ministers were silent.

It's a curse and an oath!

And he used his own future to guarantee this.

In the hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, he has never seen such a strong prince.

Sima Guang slowly retreated, and there was no room for turning things around, and the official family either agreed, and then the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State completely broke and went to the unknown. Either the official family refuses, and then the prince has no room to retreat, so he can only invite himself out of Beijing.

Han Qi frowned and wanted to go out, but his back was touched by a hand, a very familiar action, and then twisted it......

Hiss...... Zeng Gongliang...... The old man is going to tear you apart!

Han Qi thought that Zeng Gongliang wanted to sit back and watch the prince's bad luck, and couldn't help but be furious.

He slammed it back, but it was empty.

Zeng Gongliang is out of class.

He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king's words are reasonable......

Fuck it!

Han Qi instantly felt guilty and felt that he had wronged Lao Zeng.

went back and invited him to a bar, drunk him, and then threw him into the green building, and then asked someone to inform his wife to catch the adulterer......

"But Your Majesty is even more far-sighted, and you can see through these changes at a glance, and the minister thinks that it is better to ask Your Majesty to make the decision in this matter."

Han Qi instantly wanted to kill Zeng Gongliang, the villain.

Are you going to be left and right?

……

The third is sent, good night!
