Chapter 25 The Ambition of the Heart

The sky gradually darkened, and Li Dui, Fei Yi and Tian Buli got up and retired. Mu Jian, looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, said indignantly: "Da Sima only cares about the wine in the cup, and he doesn't plan for the king. Your Majesty, you will also give him a few jars of wine. This..."

Sima Wang, with his hands crossed, said, "Do you really think that Da Sima is a drunken man." ”

Mu Jian stretched out three fingers and said, "After drinking three jars of wine, it can't prove that Da Sima is a drunkard." ”

"Mu Jian! This time, if you look at people, no wang clan can see accurately. Zhao Yong, looking at him, shook his head, and said, "Thanks to Da Sima, otherwise, Li Dui and Tian Buli will definitely be separated." Debating is a happy event, but it hurts the peace, and it is not good after all. Da Sima, with his own wisdom, skillfully resolved the embarrassment of the widow's situation. ”

After returning to the palace, Zhao Yong fell into deep thought. I have gained a lot from leaving the palace this time. In addition to hearing a wonderful debate, he also indirectly learned about the New Deal, from the common people... Civilians are skeptical and indifferent to Zhao Jun's new policy.

Also, the ancestors of the Zhao State all said that the new policy would be implemented, but it ended in nothing. The common people's response to the monarch's new policy turned from hope to disappointment, even despair. Besides, the political system of Zhao State, from Zhao Jianzi to the present, no one has found any unreasonableness, and it has no impact on whether it changes or not. Sima Wang's clan stood aside, and only then did he realize that the king did not leave the palace to play, but to look at the world with different eyes, so as to find a new starting point. Sima Wang, staring at Zhao Jun's lonely figure, sighed in his heart, and said, "The king has grown up. His voice was like the words of an old man in his seventies and eighties. He himself was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

After Zhao Jun succeeded to the throne, with the assistance of his powerful ministers, he was also handy in handling national affairs. But when government affairs are handled too much, he thinks far-reaching. Gradually, he discovered that there were many shortcomings in national politics. So, he asked Tian Buli: "Doctor, the widow has something and wants to ask you." ”

Tian Buli was stunned for a while, made a pair of hands and said, "I am willing to share my worries for the king." ”

Zhao Yong let out a long breath, his tone was gloomy, obviously hiding a lot of things in his heart, and said: "Handan, Taiyuan, Shangdang and Dai four counties. Among them, there are many people in Handan, and there are widows in the county. This is a difficult problem, how should I solve it? ”

Tian Buli thought about it for a while, and said: "Why don't you immigrate to the border." It can solve the problem of the widows and widows, and can defend the border to resist the harassment from Beihu and Yan. ”

Zhao Yong fell into deep thought, and said: "Daijun is in the northern frontier of Zhao State, and the northern land is bitter cold and barren. There is also the trouble of the Hu people, who is willing to go. ”

"Handan is a rich place for Zhao State. Dignitaries, businessmen, and civilians were naturally reluctant to go to northern Xinjiang to suffer. Tian Buli, seeing that Jun Shang's eyes were disappointed, his words changed sharply, and said: "Your Excellency, there are similar people who can." ”

Zhao Yong was a little lonely in his heart, but suddenly Tian Buli's tone changed, and this problem took a turn for the better, and it suddenly swept away the color of decadence. Tian Buli saw Zhao Jun's youthful temperament, and did not deliberately exaggerate the atmosphere, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you send criminals and slaves to Northern Xinjiang, so that they can make meritorious contributions to the country for their crimes." ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he fell into contemplation again. The distribution of criminals and slaves to northern Xinjiang can indeed solve the problem of widows in northern Xinjiang, reclaim the frontier, and at the same time relieve the heavy pressure on the population of Handan. It was a good idea, but the criminals and slaves themselves were destabilizing factors. The slightest carelessness can lead to turmoil. Besides, in the name of his prince, it is still okay to distribute criminals. Slaves are very involved and have a lot at stake, and they cannot be solved by a single order.

These days with Zhao Jun, Tian Buli already has a little understanding of Zhao Jun's character, although the young man in front of him is young, he is not a person who has three points of enthusiasm and lacks perseverance. Nor is he a person who is whimsical and impulsive. If Zhao Jun made a rash decision without careful consideration. He wouldn't think he had found a Ming Jun. Tian Buli often said that in the future, this young man will definitely be a powerful figure. And he will see it all with his own eyes. At this moment, he sincerely hopes that this day can come as soon as possible.

Zhao Yongzhi thought about it, but felt that although Tian Buli's idea was good, it was still lacking. He asked in his heart how to make civilians, criminals, and slaves willing to go to the north of Xinjiang, instead of forcing pressure by edict. After careful consideration, his eyes were full of confidence, and he obviously had an idea, so he said to Tian Buru, "Doctor Shang is reasonable, but the widow thinks that when a criminal goes to Northern Xinjiang, he can not only be guilty of meritorious service, but also exempt from his crime. As for the slaves who voluntarily went to the Daidi, the widow would also remove them from their slave status and return them to freedom."

"If a commoner is willing to go to northern Xinjiang, the state will give him money and food, and he can get land, and the official will get a knighthood."

Zhao Jun is calculating? The widow has given a new hope to such people. Wherever you can see the sun, who wants to stay in the dark and endure the cold.

Solving the matter of the widows in the north, Zhao Yong's heart was indescribably happy, and he also praised Tian Buli in his eyes, and said: "Doctor Shang is worthy of being my brainchild, but if you have any worries, you can solve them." It is a blessing for a lifetime for a widow to have you. Go ahead! What kind of reward do you want. ”

When Tian Buli heard this, he said humbly: "It is a matter of course to share worries for the king. ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, his eyes rolled, and he was quite shocked in his heart. A foreign minister, even if he has insight and scheming, it is rare not to be greedy for money. However, the rewards and punishments are clear, and it is also a necessary condition for being a Ming Jun.

"The doctor conspires to share the worries of the widows, and the reward is deserved." Zhao Yong thought about it, what is the reward? Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled, "I will give you the book "Pipe". ”

The book "Guanzi" is written by Qi Xiang Guan Zhong and is a Legalist classic. However, hundreds of years later, the book has been lost. Now, when he got this book in Zhao Palace, Tian Buli held back the joy in his heart and saluted: "Thank you, your lord." Zhao Yong saw his happy appearance, obviously quite satisfied with his reward.

Zhao Yong and Tian Buli discussed the policy of immigrating to the border, and the courtiers did not know where to smell the news, and they all offered advice. Some people say: "Freeing slaves can easily lead to chaos." ”

"Slaves should be slaves, how can they be stripped of their identity."

"How could a monarch make such an inconceivable decision at such a young age?"

"The monarch has been bewitched by the Qi people, and the Qi people should be expelled."

"Pro-virtuous ministers, stay away from villains."

"The foundation of Zhao Guo is not easy to come by, the monarch thinks twice!"

The courtiers scolded. Zhao Yong understands that these people are complaining about the fate of the country with righteous words. It is nothing more than to protect their own interests. This kind of person is not only hateful, but simply shameless. However, his heart was full of doubts, who spread his strategy of immigrating to the border.

"Your Majesty, the hour has come." Han Zhong reminded him softly.

When Han Zhong saw the king, he fell into deep thought, didn't hear what he said, and continued: "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Yong's spirit was lifted, and he intercepted: "Da Ling, you go out and tell that group of guys that the widow is tired, and the court will stop today." ”

"This..."Han Zhong glanced sideways at Zhao Jun's face, and seeing that he was angry, he suppressed his words and said, "No." ”

Faced with the pressure exerted by the courtiers, Zhao Yong simply 'hid' in the harem and refused to go to court. Zhao Yong walked back and forth in the hall, holding back a wave of anger in his heart, and said: "No matter what the widow does, this group of old guys will always have a reason to object. All right! The widow does as they wish. If you don't do anything, you can't go wrong! ”

Mu Jian, hiding aside, said with a face full of grievances: "Your Majesty, I didn't mess with you." ”

"When anyone upsets me, you're always in my sight." Zhao Yong glared at him and said word by word: "You deserve it." ”

Mu Jian knew that he was being bullied by the ministers outside and needed to find someone to vent. However, I bumped into it again, and in addition to blaming myself for my hard life, I could also complain about it. Mu Jian didn't refute it, and said, "Okay, you are the king, I think I'm unlucky." ”

The courtiers waited for a long time, but still did not see Zhao Jun. Suddenly, the voice of the eunuch Ling Han Zhong sounded in the main hall, "The king is not feeling well, and the court will stop today." Everyone has worked hard, let's disperse! ”

When Zhao Bao heard this, he shook his head secretly, the monarch didn't even dare to face this difficulty, how could he manage the thousands of miles left by the ancestors of the Zhao family in the future. When Gongzi Cheng heard this, the corners of his mouth curved into an arc, and if the king is not in the court, he can contact the people below to make a fuss. Fei Yi, Li Dui, Gongsun Yi and others, smiled slightly at the corner of their mouths, and did not say a word. When Zhao Jun, Zhao Wen and the others saw it, they couldn't suppress the joy in their hearts, if they weren't in the palace, they would probably laugh out loud.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the prince lived in the mansion, thinking about today's court meeting. He thought that today's court would be different from the past, and the king would lose face. He really wanted to see how his young nephew should choose to deal with the strong pressure from the ministers. However, Zhao Yong refused to go to court, and this good show did not let Gongzicheng get his wish after all.

With a few glasses of fine wine, Childe became as if he had changed a person.

"Grand Priest, I'll give you a drink." Zhao Jun held the wine bottle high, but Gongzicheng's eyes were dull and fell into deep thought. Zhao Jun followed Gongzicheng's gaze, and there was no abnormality, and asked, "Da Sikou, what's wrong with you." ”

"Your Excellency, there is something strange today." Gongzi Cheng expressed the worries in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, since you succeeded to the throne, you want to become a qualified monarch. This time, the monarch refused to go to court, will there be a master behind him? ”

Zhao Jun disagreed, thinking that Gongzicheng was nervous, and said in a light tone: "In the face of the pressure of the ministers, how can you have the heart to go to the court." Great Priest, you are too careful. ”

"Zhao Jun is not ignoring the government, but is gambling with us." Zhao Wen, seeing that Gongzicheng's face was moved, continued, "Your Excellency, after all, you are young. Deal with things, do things willfully, and never consider the consequences that will be triggered. Your Majesty, it is also wise to refuse today's court meeting. ”

Zhao Jun nodded and seconded: "Your Majesty, it's really going to be a toss." The implementation of the new policy was not effective, and another immigrant came to the border. ”

Gongzi Cheng didn't think that Zhao Jun's move was a toss. For a fifteen-year-old child to have such an idea is already beyond the mind of a person of his age. The implementation of the New Deal and the immigrant invasion of the border itself require a great deal of courage and courage. Suddenly, a clear answer came to his mind... The new monarch should not want to change the situation. If this is the case, Zhao Yong is angry and ignores the government, isn't it intentional, in order to paralyze everyone.

Zhao Wen shattered the ground and said: "The ancestors of the past dynasties have not been able to change the situation of Zhao State, what achievements can he make as a fifteen-year-old child." Your Majesty, what a nonsense! In the long run, the prestige of the king will not be able to bring everyone to its knees. ”

Zhao Jiong said with a smile: "Your Excellency, he is different from ordinary people, he has great ambitions. ”

Zhao Jun didn't want to hear the words of praise for Zhao Yong, his eyes were full of contempt, and he said, "He's just a fifteen-year-old boy." It's as powerful as you say. Zhao Jun has great ambitions and wants me to say, Junshang, you are hot-headed. ”

This remark caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Zhao Zhi smiled slightly, sorted out the wording, and said: "When the new monarch first set foot in the throne, the Wei State invited Qi, Yan, Chu, Qin and other countries of ten thousand times, wanting to take advantage of the traces of the first monarch's mourning period to divide my territory and destroy my Zhao State." It is the fifteen-year-old boy in your mouth, resisting the five countries with the strength of one country, and not hesitating to break the net and compete against each other. Just ask, how can an ordinary teenager have such courage and courage. ”

Faced with the indisputable facts, Zhao Jun was still unconvinced and snorted coldly.

Zhao Jiong continued: "Twenty-four years ago, the Wei people took Pang Juan as their general and surrounded my Handan. The Marquis of Zhao Cheng wanted to move the capital of the country and temporarily avoid the edge of the Wei people, and all the ministers thought so. However, Xianjunyu was the crown prince at that time, and he knew that moving the capital would lead to all kinds of evil consequences. He would rather fight to the death with the Wei people, and swore to die rather than move the capital to avoid disaster. As it turned out later, it was right not to move. Although we are young, we have witnessed the difficulties of Handan. Don't you see the shadow of the ancestor in this young man? ”

Zhao Jun said coldly: "Hmph, so what." ”

Zhao Zhi knew that his words were not loved by everyone, so he stopped abruptly and buried himself in drinking.

Zhao Zhi's words triggered Gongzicheng's heart. The past comes to mind one by one. The boy was the son of his elder brother, and he inherited not only the throne of the prince, but also his courage and courage. Suddenly, Gongzi Cheng saw the shadow of his eldest brother from the young man's body. He believed that the young man would never be a person who gave up halfway. The new policy and the strategy of defending the border, he is imperative. However, at this moment, he didn't see any movement, presumably waiting for an opportunity.

Zhao Yong 'hid' into the harem and did not come out of the palace. No one will ever see each other. This hiding is a month. Zhao Yong hid in the harem, ostensibly idle, but in fact he was thinking that if a slave went to the northern frontier, he could obtain the status of a commoner. According to Zhao Law, civilians can be officials. So, why would they oppose a move to change the fate of slaves?

Soon, Zhao Yong found the answer in the ancient books of the ancestors and sages. Slavery has existed for hundreds of years, and it has a certain effect on the state and society. It exists, and it also has necessity. Slaves were reluctant to go to northern Xinjiang, because they were accustomed to being arranged by others. Secondly, detached from their masters, they do not know how to live and have a deep fear of the future. The most important reason is that they do not believe in the courage and determination of this young monarch.

Sima Wang's clan saw that Zhao Jun did not go to court for a month, and he was eating, drinking, and having fun every day, and felt that the monarch had a sense of decadence. If this goes on for a long time, the whole person will be ruined. What are the ideals, but also what are the great ambitions. Sima Wangzu couldn't sit still anymore, and entered the palace to persuade: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the ambition in your chest?" ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he was stunned for a while, his words and deeds not only deceived hundreds of officials, but even the closest people of the Sima Wang clan were also deceived in the past. Although he was in the palace, he ignored the government. But everything that happened in Zhao Palace, he saw it in his eyes. He also understands that as long as Zhao Bao and other virtuous ministers are there, there will be no mistakes in Zhao Guo's government affairs. In the face of Sima Wang's words, Zhao Yong did not blame him, and asked Mu Jian beside him, "Am I a person who does not do his job?" ”

Mu Jian didn't think about it and nodded. Zhao Yong's cold eyes looked straight over, and Mu Jian hurriedly shook his head.

Zhao Yong glared at him, an unfriendly look emanating from the depths of his eyes, and said, "Say." ”

Mu Jian settled his mind and said, "Your Majesty, you want me to say it." Then I'll just say it. But, you can't be angry, and you can't kick me in the ass. ”

Zhao Yong said briskly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Mu Jian understood that when Jun Shang showed such an expression on his face, he would definitely suffer from waiting for him. In the past, Mu Jian would choose to dodge. However, today's Mu Jian, who didn't know where to borrow the courage, said bluntly, "Your Excellency, don't do your job." ”

Zhao Yong walked towards him with a smile on his face.

Mu Jian, without waiting for the other party to get closer, flashed and hid behind Sima Wang.

Zhao Yong stopped, suppressed his breath, and said, "Come here." ”

Mu Jian shouted, "Don't come." ”

Zhao Yong smiled evilly: "You can't be sure." ”

Mu Jian said, "Don't come." ”

Zhao Yong said, "If you're like this, I won't be able to clean you up?" ”

"Enough?" Sima Wang, facing the two of them, his face was extremely bad, and he said: "Your Majesty, you refuse to go to the court, more than a month, do you know what the ministers outside talk about you?" When the wang clan heard this, they all felt very ashamed of the king. ”

"What they say about the widow, the widow doesn't care." Zhao Yong, Mo didn't care about the authentic words: "What the widow cares about is what you think in your heart. ”

Sima Wang, suppressing the grief and indignation welling up in his heart, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the oath you made in the Longtai High Pavilion?" ”

Zhao Yong's heart was agitated, paused, stared at Sima Wang, and said word by word: "The ambition in the chest has never been forgotten for a moment." ”
