Chapter 568: Founding Marquis of Jiuyuan County...... (1st Update)

Chapter 568

Therefore, what the superior needs most is to arrange the people who should be used in the right position, rather than relying on their own likes and dislikes to make indiscriminate generalizations.

Regarding this point, Zhao Xu is very convinced. At this stage, he was learning from the Empress Dowager while thinking about the shortcomings of his past thoughts, and as a result, suddenly, the imperial grandmother, who was still in good health, was going to withdraw from the stall.

It was really a bit unexpected for Zhao Xu.

"Well, in the past, the old woman of the mourning family was always worried that you were too young, and she always loved to be willful, and the superiors were most afraid of being willful, but now, you have been able to realize this in the official family, and the mourning family can stop you and be an old and evil woman who is disgusted."

"It's better to retreat to this palace earlier, and when the time comes, guard my great-grandson and feed my heavenly ......" Gao Taotao's hand gently patted the back of Zhao Xu's hand and said slowly.

She is really tired, in the past, she always felt that the things that her son and Wang Anshi did were wrong and should be abolished, because most of the courtiers in the world said so.

And she Gao Tao also felt so, so she began to abolish all the hard work of her son Emperor Shenzong, whether good or bad.

In exchange, he got the reputation of a female Zhongyao Shun, and in exchange, he also got the mutual hostility between himself and his grandson, who ascended the throne as emperor at the age of nine.

And himself, over the years, has been cautious, for fear that if he makes a mistake, he will leave an eternal infamy like Empress Lu, and he really lives like a year.

When many people face to face, they say that they are Yao Shun in the woman, but behind the scenes, they say that their old wife wants to learn from Lu Hou, and how many people in the world can understand that after their son dies, they can only help their young grandchildren to ascend the throne.

Then he stood at the front desk, expecting those ministers to do their best for the Great Song Dynasty. But the result?

Later, Gao Tao found that among these officials who strongly opposed the reform of the law, except for a few loyal ministers such as Sima Guang and other loyal ministers who were dedicated to the country, the rest were all self-interested.

It is precisely because the new law has touched their interests that no matter whether the new law is good or bad for the country and the people, it will be swept away. And because of Wang Wushan, he finally eliminated the misunderstanding between himself and the official family.

Those important ministers of the court are not thinking about how to serve the country and the people, what they think and think, they just hope that they will continue to be their backing, so that they can continue to absorb more benefits from the court.

What they want is to drive all opponents away, even if it is a minister like Su Bachelor, or a peerless talent like Wang Wushan.

If this kind of practice was in the past, Gao Tao could only open one eye and close one eye, as long as the court was peaceful and the people could live and work in peace and contentment.

The important thing is that the increasingly unscrupulous approach of those old party ministers really made Gao Tao disheartened. Now, the growth of the official family is no longer as black and white as in the past, but has begun to know how to compromise and tact, and how to use the greed and shamelessness of the ministers to achieve their own goals.

"You have grown up, the mourning family is already old, in the past two years, the energy is getting worse and worse, the mourning family does not ask for anything else, but I just hope that when you do things, you can also be like today, think carefully, and then make a conclusion......"

Listening to Gao's sincere confession, Zhao Xu's heart was also quite emotional, in the past, he always felt that the Empress Dowager was simply in power and did everything.

Now that I think about it carefully, it is true that if I had put the power in my hands in the past, I am afraid that the next day, I would have been eager to expel all the old parties in the DPRK from the court, and then find all the ministers of the new party factions.

But if he really did that, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the court, and even make the entire Great Song Dynasty panic.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, I have read this in the past, but Zhao Xu always felt that it was just a fool's words. But during this period of time, there has been an exchange with Wang Wushan.

Even if it is the Son of Heaven, when doing things, you can't just rely on your own preferences, but you should think about it first, is it really okay to do this?

"Imperial Grandmother...... You, grandson understands, it's just that when grandson is in charge of the government for the first time, there will inevitably be mistakes and omissions, I'm afraid that I have to ask the emperor's grandmother more, and I hope that the emperor's grandmother will not shirk when the time comes. ”

"Ordinary government affairs, the mourning family believes in Your Majesty, and will definitely be able to decide, if there is anything that Your Majesty can't decide, then come to the mourning family, although the mourning family can't help Your Majesty decide, at least you can give Your Majesty some advice."

Xu Degong, who was standing not far away, looked at the pair of grandchildren, and couldn't help but sigh a little, he never thought that such a major decision would be made so hastily, and even he didn't reveal a single thing to his henchman eunuch.

At this time, Xu Degong suddenly heard Gao Tao's voice calling to himself, and hurriedly walked to the front, bowing his head respectfully and obeying his orders.

"Mourning family, I don't want to have a conversation with Your Majesty today, there is a fourth person who knows, if there is...... Then don't blame the mourning family for not thinking about you and my master-servant love for more than 30 years. Gao Tao looked at Xu Degong, and his voice seemed very calm and authentic.

But the meaning revealed in the words made Xu Degong feel cold physically and mentally, and he quickly fell to the ground. "Rest assured, even if the old slave is dead, he will not dare to leak out a word."

"Well, that's very good." After Gao Taotao bowed slightly, he waved his hand to let Xu Degong leave. And after Xu Degong got up and retreated, he wiped a handful of cold sweat soaked from his forehead.

Niangniang's calm gaze, which was almost indifferent, was like two sharp blades, which sent chills down his spine. He knew very well that this was definitely not a threat, but a fact to tell himself.

Before, Xu Degong was indeed thinking in his heart, how to send this news out in order to obtain benefits, but now that Gao Tao opened his mouth, he had already stopped any of his thoughts.

At the court meeting the next day, due to the stubbornness and insistence of the Son of Heaven, coupled with the hesitation of the Empress Dowager, the old party bigwigs who held the power of the court and government finally had to agree to the request of the Son of Heaven.

His title became the founding marquis of Jiuyuan County from the third grade, because according to the Song system, the founding uncle, son, and male titles must be preceded by the name of a certain county, and the founding duke, marquis and other titles must be preceded by the name of a certain county.

As for why Jiuyuan County was sealed, it was because Jiuyuan County was far away in the Hetao area of the Yellow River, that is, in the north of Xiazhou, which can be described as the hinterland of Western Xia.

It also proves the ambition of the young son of heaven for the territory of Western Xia, but this time, whether it is the empress dowager or the Manchu Dynasty Fangwu, there is quite a tacit understanding that there is no comparison and no evaluation.
