Chapter 395: Alone
To understand why Zhao Guangyi has the courage to argue with Zhao Kuangyin, this has to start more than a year ago.
At that time, there was a bribery case of King Jin that shook the world, and Zhao Kuangyin finally ruthlessly, and a big stick hit Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu on the heads respectively, the original intention was to make these two people be very honest.
But as a result, I have to say that it backfired. Let's talk about Zhao Pu first, the yamen of such a central political hall was made into a hall of words by him, and the two governors were supposed to check and balance him, but they turned out to make him like an assistant, he was not there, no one had a meeting, and the original Privy Council, which was an important place for the military state, was indeed a person who had a good relationship with Zhao Pu and almost wore a pair of pants, Zhao Pu listened to whatever he said, and did not have any of his own opinions, the most ruthless thing is that he actually married Zhao Pu with his children and relatives.
One word monopolizes the political hall, and the other hand holds the Privy Council, and he has the final say in both military and political aspects, which is already a standard minister, compared to Wang Jun back then, he is only stronger than Wang Jun back then, and even if Zhao Kuangyin wants to do something, he has to take into account his opinions.
Let's talk about Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Kuangyin took away his position in the book order, but his status did not fall but rose, because before Zhao Kuangyin conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi stayed in the prison country, that battle was fought for more than half a year, and when Zhao Kuangyin came back, many things were directly things and people, especially this person's infiltration of the new army, coupled with Chu Zhaofu, who was in charge of the third division, surrendered to him, he is now much more bullish than when he was in the middle of the book order.
The rights in the world are fixed, there is a total number, the rights of Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi have increased especially, whose rights have become smaller? Obviously, it is Zhao Kuangyin himself.
An unprecedented situation in the history of 5,000 years has occurred, that is, the prestige of the emperor himself is increasing day by day, but the real power is getting smaller and smaller.
In less than ten years, Zhao Kuangyin first destroyed Jinghu Lake and then destroyed Houshu, swept the Southern Han Dynasty and the Northern Expedition to the Khitan, and even the clouds in Yanyun were recovered, sweeping away the tragic situation of the Han people who had been repeatedly bullied since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the trend of reviving the Tang Dynasty has been achieved, and the common people have hardly increased any burden, whether it is popular popularity, official prestige or military prestige, all have reached the peak of all emperors since the end of the Tang Dynasty, if everything goes well, after he recovers the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Kuangyin's three words must be on a par with Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages.
However, his real power is getting smaller and smaller.
It's weird, but it's true, because Zhao Kuangyin has two fatal weaknesses in his character: nostalgia and benevolence.
Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu have seized power to this point, to be honest, this is no longer his right-hand man, but his enemy in the right sense, not to mention that the prince is not a prince, even if the real prince is so powerful, few fathers can bear it, except for Li Longji.
But then again, in the current political situation, in addition to the unparalleled prestige that Zhao Kuangyin himself has, how much stronger can he be than Li Dan? Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu have become more and more like Li Longji and Princess Taiping in the Tang Dynasty.
If you compare it with Zhu Yuanzhang, you will find that Zhao Kuangyin's various ability indicators are almost all far above him, whether it is to command the army or govern the country, and even the means of controlling it are much better than him, but the Ming Dynasty is more stable than the Great Song Dynasty, even if Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral family law, especially the economic part, is full of loopholes, (I only say economically, don't spray me) caused his descendants to be miserable, and the Song Dynasty is not even comparable, but the people have clearly adhered to the national glory for nearly three hundred years. Not convinced?
I have to admit a fact, a founding monarch should be the more cruel the better, the more people you kill, the more stable you are, maybe as a person, many of Zhu Yuanzhang's practices are not things, but as the founding monarch, he is better than Zhao Kuangyin!
It can be said that with Zhao Kuangyin's prestige at this time, he really kills whoever he wants, and kills as much as he wants, Zhu Yuanzhang can do nothing, he can't do anything, in the face of two goods that are obviously too big to fight with him, there is no better way than to kill first and then say.
But Zhao Kuangyin just didn't kill, because one of these two people was his own brother, and the other was his confidant and good brother along the way, not to mention the two of them, Zhao Kuangyin had almost never killed anyone except enemies since he became emperor, and it is safe to say that this thing really doesn't like to kill.
History proves that he paid a great price for this, for example, he released the military power twice with a glass of wine, which essentially created a considerable number of large landlords, making the problem of land annexation in the Song Dynasty much faster than that of other dynasties.
For example, the dispute between morality and danger in the original history, and even the sound of candle shadow axes.
Speaking of this moment, Zhao Kuangyin just wanted to deal with the issue of the three decrees in a more gentle way, and it is certain that he had never had the idea of killing.
Then, he was scolded by Zhao Guangyi.
It hurts like poking a lung tube.
He was full of hope that his good brother Zhao Pu could stand up and help him scold this disobedient brother at this time, just like what these two goods had been doing all along, but he was disappointed, and Zhao Pu didn't react at all.
A very ruthless reality, as Sun Chunming gets better and better, the difficulty of moving the capital is getting lower and lower day by day, and Zhao Kuangyin's meaning is becoming clearer day by day, and in this kind of thing, Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi's interests are almost the same, although moving the capital will cost Zhao Guangyi most of his life, but for Zhao Pu, it is actually not a good thing.
Because of the relocation of the capital, it will inevitably face a political reshuffle, and the old forces will make way for the new forces, which is also the best way for the sons of heaven of all dynasties to get rid of the old forces, such as Wu Zetian, a move to move the capital directly cut off the Li Tang forces, will Zhao Pu still be as beautiful as he is now?
Definitely not, Zhao Kuangyin just didn't want to kill him, and he didn't want to deal with him, he really had the idea of borrowing the capital to do it together.
So Zhao Pu chose to be silent, not to say anything, not to do anything, who let the Sun family father and son really have a handle this time, to a certain extent, this matter can be regarded as Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi scolding him together.
This ruthless reality made Zhao Kuangyin, who has always been very emotional, a little confused.
He sat on the hall of long live in a daze, and said to almost the only person around him who could still be trusted: "Qianjun, do you say that this emperor is all alone?" ”
