Chapter 498: Different Angles, Different Worlds
Zhao Tingmei got into the car, and after walking not far, he saw the new city wall of Luoyang City from a distance, and Zhao Dezhao, who was shocked, was speechless for a long time.
"Official, you see, this is the fortress city, Luoyang is already sitting on the danger of the world, and now there is this fortress, as long as the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, it is enough to protect the city for ten years, this city can really be said to be the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years. Official, move the capital. β
Zhao Dezhao opened his mouth and said: "The third uncle is really a good means, I can't hide it, I have already decided to move the capital on the way here, and I will start to deal with this matter as soon as I return to Kaifeng and stabilize the court situation." β
"In this way, the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty and the blessing of the world."
"Third uncle, according to the Golden Kui Alliance, in fact, this throne should be yours, my nephew was added to the yellow robe, he was really on the front line at the time, and he couldn't shirk it, if the third uncle had a heart......"
Zhao Tingmei interrupted: "Zhao'er, you use these words to test me, but it's a bit out of sight, I deliberately went out of the city thirty miles to meet you, isn't it sincere enough?" The so-called alliance of Jinkui is also nonsense, and you have always known me, it is a gentleman's character, that position to be honest I have no interest at all, the second brother did some things when he was too desperate, even the eldest brother died in vain, in order to protect himself, this is how much to listen to the tone and not listen to the announcement, now that you have become an official, as long as you let me enjoy wealth and leisure, why should I be embarrassed by you? Zhao'er, I am giving all this now by my eldest brother, and the reason why my eldest brother gave it to me is actually to let me give you these things! β
"Third uncle, are you really not interested in the position of the Ninth Five?"
"Nope. Don't you believe that others don't believe you? You're a little disappointed in you. β
Zhao Dezhao hurriedly said: "The third uncle atoned for his sins, it is really a big change in this year, I ...... My mind is not very clear anymore, how can I not trust the third uncle. β
Zhao Tingmei also said: "Yes, for more than a year, it has been really eventful, my Great Song Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, our uncle and nephew can't be suspicious of each other anyway, we must work together to tide over the difficulties together, otherwise, the great country laid by the eldest brother will inevitably be robbed by outsiders." β
"Please also ask the third uncle to teach, how is it internal and external troubles?"
"Is there any external trouble, one is the Khitan, there is nothing to say about this, it has been fought for hundreds of years since the Wu Zhou period, and the second is that the towns have made festivals, they are all battlefield generals, and the eldest brother can naturally hold it when he is there, but Zhao'er, your prestige is too shallow, and others are just fine, such as the Zhaoyi Army and the Tianxiong Army, such as the Zhaoyi Army and the Tianxiong Army, remember not to be in a hurry, the second brother is your example."
"I understand, slowly Tuzhi, boil and boil them to death, it is impossible to let them be hereditary like the late Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, so although the external trouble is dangerous, it is not a major problem, in contrast, the internal trouble is the hanging neck."
"What does the third uncle think, what is the internal trouble?"
"Cao Bin, Zhao Pu, Sun Chunming."
"Oh? These...... What is an internal problem? β
"Let's talk about Zhao Pu first, this person actually has nothing to say, for more than ten years, he has covered the sky with one hand, dominated the court, the world is full of his protΓ©gΓ©s, and his scheming methods are the crown of the world, the second brother couldn't fight him back then, and now if he is not in addition to him, do you want to push me up to fight with him? I can't fight him, and I don't want to get involved in this kind of trouble, not to mention that he also took out something like the Golden Kui Alliance, and his heart can be punished, so this person must be the first to dismiss and seize his post, I hope he is interested in himself, and it will not hurt the friendship between our family and him for many years. But this person is better to solve it, you and I join forces, plus Cao Bin will inevitably stand on our side, and directly use the momentum of Wanjun to break the trick, forgive him and he can't make any waves. β
"Hearing what the third uncle said, it really dawned up."
"Besides, Cao Bin, this is actually a big trouble for my Great Song Dynasty, he is already the prime minister, and he has been in charge of the Military Commission, the formation of the new army in Kaifeng is his single-handedly involved, and now he has the merit of supporting, the prestige in the army is not trivial, Zhao Pu must be a powerful minister after leaving, and no one in the Privy Council can compete with him, but he is not afraid of his yellow robe, but it is just a major matter of the country of soldiers, how can he completely handle him? What if ambitions swell up in the future? β
"What does the third uncle think, how can Cao Bin be treated?"
"It's not difficult, the privy envoy is only a civil servant after all, only the right to transfer troops and not the right to command the army, and after all, he is not the minister of the eldest brother's overlordship, not deeper than Zhao Pu's roots, to deal with him, just start with the generals, Cui Yanjin is older than him, and his ability is not less than him, he may not be so convinced, as long as you find a way to make the generals of the army convince you, you can put it out as a festival envoy, just like Shi Shouxin, let him retire and die."
Zhao Dezhao nodded in approval when he heard this, and asked, "Then, what about Sun Chunming." β
Zhao Tingmei smiled bitterly, this time even he pinched his eyebrows and said with a sad face: "Sun Chunming, alas, it seems that his power is the smallest of the three, but in fact he is the most difficult one to deal with, Luoyang, whether it is the gentry or the common people, is worried about his good, after moving the capital, he is actually the first minister who cannot be dropped, holding the money bag of the entire court in one hand, you don't know, he is now holding the money not through the three divisions, but especially himself, whoever is the third envoy is useless, Even if he is a civilian, he can overthrow the three envoys within three days, and his son can control the Tianxiong Army outside, who came up with this idea? Why did you leave Sun Yue outside? And gave back such a large army? Now that their father and son are in the court, one is outside, one is in charge of money and the other is in charge of soldiers, complementing each other, which one do you dare to move? How do you think about it? β
Zhao Dezhao looked embarrassed when he heard this. He can't say that it's you who won't let Sun Yue come back.
Zhao Tingmei actually understands the meaning of this, if the father and son of the Sun family are all by his side and are willing to help him, then the throne is simply too within reach for him, so his complaint just now is actually a kind of emotional venting.
Zhao Dezhao had no choice but to say: "Doesn't the third uncle also trust the Sun family's father and son?" β
"Alas, Sun Yue is my brother, my best brother, Sun Chunming and I have always treated each other as an elder, from my point of view, I naturally trust, but you are now an official family, and the heavenly family is ruthless, do you mean it? It is precisely because we are brothers that I know better than others that their father and son are people who have no reverence for imperial power at all, even the eldest brother has never dared to let Sun Yue have soldiers in his hands, and has always used him as a prison army, how can he give him the Tianxiong army? The key is that this Sun Yue is so small than you, and you may not be able to survive him. β
"That'...... How is that good? β
"Alas, I know you still don't trust me, it's okay, let's see, it's just that after the dust settles, Sun Yue must be transferred back to the center, and he can't be allowed to stay outside, otherwise there will be no way to check and balance Sun Chunming." 8)
