Chapter Seventy-One: A Dinner That Goes Down in History
When Mei Xiaohan returned to "Meicheng" after purchasing, an important event in history occurred, and this event was "a glass of wine releases military power!" ”
"What should come will come."
After becoming the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin had two problems that worried him a lot, and they were also two problems that bothered him.
First, how to establish a centralized autocratic rule and make those rebellious ministers and thieves obedient, especially those high-flying and domineering feudal separatist forces, such a situation can no longer occur.
Second: how to make his rule last for a long time, he has seen a lot of short-lived dynasties, and he has encountered short-lived dynasties like five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
Mei Xiaohan received an invitation, which was sent by Zhao Kuangyin. At this time, the prime minister's seat has long been removed by Zhao Kuangyin, but what he wants to remove is not only the prime minister's seat, but also their rights.
Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, there is a man named Zhu Wen who opened the prelude to the chaos of the Five Dynasties, and it has been more than 50 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
In more than 50 years, the emperor changed 13 people, the surname changed eight, and the war was endless.
"The world is rich and dewed among the flowers, and the world's fame is frosty." People can't help but sigh that the rise and fall of the world is just a passing moment.
When Zhao Kuangyin took over the power step by step, he began to think about tea and food all day long, and was very afraid that he would never wake up after sleeping at night.
Since others can put the yellow robe on Zhao Kuangyin, it is possible to put the yellow robe on others. With such an idea, Zhao Kuangyin, who was not calm in his heart, issued an invitation. After repeated brewing, this famous dinner in history kicked off its curtain.
Led by Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Wang Xianqi, Zhang Lingfeng, Zhao Yanhui, Wang Yanchao and others starred in the good drama that kicked off its curtain:
At the beginning of the banquet, the generals smiled happily, thinking about what kind of reward Zhao Kuangyin would give them.
In fact, this banquet is just like the usual brothers' gatherings, they can talk about anything, and Zhao Kuangyin also took off his dragon robe, saying that his identity is no different from them.
Autumn is still that autumn, but this day Kaifeng City is exceptionally cool, and the air quality is still good without haze. The autumn is crisp, although the weather is still a little cool, but these soldiers are in a very good mood.
This is a very happy thing, the emperor's brothers treat, drink and eat, and the good brothers have not seen each other for many days, and they can also communicate and communicate emotions by the way.
Zhao Kuangyin at the banquet kept sighing and sighing. "Annoying... Bother... I can't sleep every day. ”
"Why is that?"
Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said. "This emperor is not easy to be! ”
"How can it be bad to be an emperor?" Shi Shouxin asked.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Or... Are you going to be this emperor? ”
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin said this, Shi Shouxin was so frightened that he fell to the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" ”
Zhao Kuangyin has a bitter gourd face, he should be happy to be the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and he can't sleep a day and a year, why is it annoying? So everyone asked questions about the reason.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I had a dream a few days ago, and I still have palpitations until now!" ”
"Your Majesty, can you tell me about it?"
"I... I dreamed of a general with a sword in his hand and suddenly stabbed at me while I was sleeping, but fortunately I dodged in time, otherwise my life would have been dead! ”
"The general said that he should be the emperor and the world was fought down by him."
The wise people have already understood, and the stupid people are still standing stupidly, shaking their heads again and again to express their doubts.
Zhao Kuangyin left his hometown in Luoyang alone and started his career in Beipiao, and at that time he was full of infinite reverie for the future. Now that he is famous, he has a lot of sorrow.
"I don't think I can even compare to a knot!"
At this time, some people proposed to return the military power and tell the old man to return to his hometown.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Is it appropriate for you to do this?" When he had said this, he could not allow them to answer, and said, "This is not bad, but go away if you want." ”
Zhao Kuangyin was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and Zhao Kuangyin nodded again and again: "I suddenly felt a lot more comfortable." ”
Smart people are all particular about the point to the end, and the unsmart have to be pointed to death. Mei Xiaohan and the other five were all smart, and they handed over their "resignation reports" the next day.
The resignation report is written like this: because of excessive drinking, resulting in kidney deficiency, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, and I hope to approve the return to my hometown.
Mei Xiaohan was very incomprehensible, Zhao Kuangyin relieved them of their official positions, and assigned them to go to the local place to serve as the envoy of the festival, but he told them that they didn't really need to go to the local place to take office, they could only stay in the capital, which was actually no different from being under house arrest.
As a result, the "Meicheng Festival Envoy" was placed under house arrest by Zhao Kuangyin in the capital, and he was served with good food and drink every day.
In order to appease everyone, Zhao Kuangyin made another series of actions next, Zhao Kuangyin first married his daughter Princess Yanqing to Shi Shouxin's son. Princess Zhaoqing married Wang Xianqi's son.
The position of the front of the palace has also been abolished, and Zhao Kuangyin himself used to be the front of the palace to check, and now it is obviously not suitable to set up this position again.
These people can bear it, but Mei Xiaohan can't bear it, he feels that he can't be arbitrarily manipulated like this.
Zhao Kuangyin promised his conditions, and he must agree, otherwise... He couldn't help it. However, the situation was not as bad as imagined, and after staying in the capital for a few days, Zhao Kuangyin still let Mei Xiaohan go. An agreement was reached between them that there was a way out of everything. Mei Xiaohan also returned to "Meicheng" safely.
You returned to "Meicheng" without danger, and the garrison of "Meicheng" was reduced to 300 people, which was not enough to confront the invading enemy, but it also limited Mei Xiaohan's movements.
The reform of Meicheng's rural areas continued, and the children's education was put on the agenda, one of which was the teaching of Mandarin, and Mei Xiaohan was very uncomfortable listening to the Yangzhou accent.
Preschool children are included in free education to learn Mandarin, and although Mei Xiaohan's own Mandarin is not very standard, he has always thought that the Mandarin he speaks is much better than the local dialect.
Hundreds of commonly used Chinese characters, learning quickly, learning ten new words a day, just over three months, more than 800 Chinese characters these children have mastered more than half.
After learning Chinese characters and strengthening oral practice, with a benign language environment, learning will be faster.
