Chapter 46: Game of Thrones
The restoration work of Zezhou City did not stop because Wen left in a hurry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this moment, Zhao Lao Er was standing on the tall Zezhou city wall, looking at the earth-shaking changes in the city every day, and sighed with emotion.
It was precisely because of this change that Zhao Laoer did not order the army to stop participating in the reconstruction of Zezhou City. This is also the first time he has seen a war machine like the army, in addition to its huge destructive power, it also has the ability to build from the ground of thousands of high-rise buildings. And this perception has also broken the impression that everyone has thought for thousands of years that the army is a war machine that can only destroy.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Pu, Zhao Guanren are here." A report from behind Zhao Kuangyin interrupted the feeling in his heart.
Zhao Kuangyin closed his eyes slightly and pondered, and said softly: "Biography." ”
"No." After answering the answer, the herald who knelt on one knee immediately got up and went under the city wall to summon Zhao Pu to meet him.
After a while, Zhao Pu climbed the city wall, walked behind Zhao Kuangyin and stood still, and bowed his hand and said, "Weichen Zhao Pu, see Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Kuangyin gently turned around and looked at Zhao Pu for a while, and said with a slight smile: "Zhao Qing's family, I have worked tirelessly, all the way from Beijing to Zezhou, and I am tired. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the great Song Dynasty, Weichen is willing to smear his liver and brain to repay the grace of God." Zhao Pu thanked him respectfully.
After the politeness between the monarchs and ministers was completed, Zhao Kuangyin asked directly and straightforwardly: "What is the situation within the Jingshi?" ”
Zhao Lao Er is now most concerned about the situation in Beijing, now that the Great Song Dynasty was first established, there has not yet formed a stable political and military pattern, and it is the moment when various forces are pouring power against each other. There is both covetousness from external forces and the division of vested interests by internal forces.
Although there is a secret spy department under the jurisdiction of Wang Renzhen to spread news at any time, these secret spies are very good at finding out information, but they do not have the ability to distinguish whether political affairs are handled properly. Now that Zhao Pu has arrived, as an official, he is obviously more judgmental than the secret spies of the secret spy department in this regard.
Only by personally inquiring about the movements in the imperial court can you feel at ease.
Now that I am far away, once some political affairs cannot be dealt with in time, it may cause a catastrophe at any time.
Zhao Pu Shili replied: "Your Majesty, please be relieved, there is still stability among the Jingshi. ”
"And?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly. He was slightly dissatisfied with Zhao Pu's answer, what he needed was not to make a mistake, and this answer obviously could not satisfy him very much.
Zhao Pu smiled slightly: "There is no problem with the handling of political affairs by all the departments of the court, only in the trial of the case of Wenjue, which is quite disturbing to Lang Lang. ”
Zhao Kuangyin snorted slightly: "Don't bother Lang Lang, it's simply unorthodox." ”
With the secret spy department under the Wude Division to communicate the situation in the Beijing division at any time, he also has a deep understanding of the matter between Wen and Wang Bingchen. The trial of this case has become a big joke among the Jingshi.
"Your Majesty, if you talk about the use of political means, it is obvious that Wen Jue will not be the opponent of those old officials, but Wen Jue has broken through ten tricks, and in the face of force, those old officials are completely helpless." Zhao Pu replied with a smile on his face.
"Force? Hmph, it's a rogue trick. But it seems that Zhao Qing's family seems to appreciate Wen Jue? Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.
"Wen Jue is so young, he can know his weaknesses well, which is not something that ordinary people can do." Zhao Puyu said with appreciation.
Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "Yes, the most difficult thing in a person's life is to face his own shortcomings, and it seems that Wen Jue has won the battle." ”
"Your Majesty, this kind of case itself is a kind of confused lawsuit, coupled with the support of the forces behind the civil officials, no matter how well Wenjue responds to it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser in the end." Zhao Pu analyzed.
Zhao Kuangyin snorted slightly: "The imperial court has just had a plan to reopen the science and elect scholars, and those wealthy families can't wait to jump out and want to get a piece of the pie." Since the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, those wealthy families have been missing for a long time, and now that the Great Song Dynasty has just been established, they want to jump out and take the opportunity to take power.
Shouldn't I still thank them for being so optimistic about my Great Song Dynasty? ”
"Your Majesty, the harm of the family can be seen from the Tang Dynasty, and the court must not tolerate and condone these wealthy families." Zhao Pu said with a serious expression.
Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice: "Tang King Li Shimin, the king who is expected to become the first emperor of the ages, has been involved by those wealthy families and cannot realize his own ideals and ambitions.
With this hazard, I will naturally take measures and deal with it carefully. ”
Since the Sui Dynasty, the influence of the wealthy family on the court has reached its peak, and even the tyrant Yang Guang knows the harm caused by the wealthy family, and he always does not want to eliminate the influence of the wealthy family on the court. The conquest of a million troops in Goryeo was actually to eradicate the power of the wealthy families, but in the end it ended in failure.
The nascent Great Sui Dynasty also collapsed as a result.
Tang King Li Shimin, the three expeditions to Goryeo, is also this purpose, it is because of the existence of this purpose, the wealthy family will do everything possible to obstruct it. Among these wealthy families, there is no shortage of people with outstanding vision, since they have seen through the true purpose of these emperors, how can they be allowed to succeed.
Once the conquest of Goryeo is successful, these emperors will not only use this war to consume the strength of the wealthy families, but also use the power of great victory to eradicate themselves.
For the sake of their own survival and continuation, and in order to continue to control the court, how could they allow the conquest to succeed, with their demolition, coupled with the white mountains and black waters, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the failure of the conquest of Goryeo has become an inevitable thing.
"Wen Jue himself is also a smart person, how can he not see what kind of strong enemy he is facing, with Wei Chen's understanding of Wen Jue's past, if he encounters this kind of thing, he will inevitably run away, but this time Wen Jue stepped forward, which really made Wei Chen puzzled." Zhao Pu pondered.
Wen can not hesitate to jump into the Yellow River, but also to avoid trouble, would rather pretend to be sick than get involved in the disputes of the court, in Zhao Pu's eyes, it is not a person who can take the initiative to cause trouble.
Seeing Zhao Pu's puzzled look, Zhao Kuangyin's mood suddenly improved, and he explained with a slight smile: "This shows that our Wenjue still has a trace of loyalty in his heart. When Wenjue first entered the world, during Yan Shen's stay, he used a lot of new things in exchange for his own needs for food and clothing.
And movable type printing is one of them, but it is a pity that ordinary people can hardly understand the huge role it brings, and Wei Qing's family specially mentioned this thing in order to promote Wen Jue to settle in the household department.
In the court, there are naturally many people with a heart, and they can see the pros and cons of movable type printing very clearly. In addition, since the bookstore shopkeeper in Yanshen County got this thing, he didn't know how to hide it, but hyped it up, wanting to use it by Wen Jue Dongfeng, and the result would naturally attract covetousness.
Our Wen Jue must have learned about this from the Zheng Zhutou family who had newly moved to Guanlou Village, which allowed Mei Yiqi to openly promote movable type printing in the private school of Guanlou Village, and lead the object of revenge of the wealthy family to herself.
Otherwise, the owner of the printing shop in Yanshen County would be wiped out overnight. ”
After listening to Zhao Laoer's detailed explanation, Zhao Pu was surprised: "It turns out that there is such a reason. ”
Zhao Kuangyin snorted lightly: "If you want to deal with those civil officials supported by the wealthy family, it will not work without some extraordinary means, if it were not for this, how would I allow Lord Wen to play in court for such a long time."
It's for the rare little kindness in his heart, but my bottom line is here, and if he is allowed to act recklessly, how can the court save face. ”
"Your Majesty means .........?" Zhao Pu wondered.
Zhao Kuangyin snorted slightly: "The Jinzhou counterinsurgency is nearing the end, and I should also return to the court, otherwise they will be treated as if I do not exist." (To be continued.) )
