Chapter 572: Placement of the Imperial Family
"Are you a junior?" After hearing the name "Zhao San", Zhao Chen was stunned for a while, then he reacted and laughed at the moment.
"It's the villain!" Zhao Sandao.
"Hurry up, please!" Zhao Chen said, he personally pulled Zhao San up, and then carefully identified Zhao San.
This Zhao San is the little splashy "little San'er" that Wang De found when he was in Kaifeng Palace! On that day, this little third child was exactly the same as Zhao Chen, but after so many years, Zhao San's appearance was very different from Zhao Chen! Moreover, Zhao San's temperament is also very different from before! Back then, Zhao San had a lot of cunning on his body, but now the cunning on his body has disappeared, and all that remains is honesty and timidity! Over the years, in the ice and snow in the north, Zhao San has also been tortured, he is often beaten by the Jurchens, and his personality has long changed from the original extroverted and bold to the current introverted cowardice.
"I still remember when I left the Kaifeng Palace, I knocked you unconscious, and then you were taken away by Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan and handed over to the Jurchens! When the Jurchens find a fake prince, it is inevitable that they will be angry in their hearts, and they will definitely not treat you well. Zhao Chen said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was able to escape, these are all worth it." Zhao Sandao.
"I am no longer His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! You must have something to complain about! Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"The villain doesn't dare." Zhao Sandao.
"No matter what, you are gracious to me! Without you, I might not have been able to escape from the palace, and I thank you! Zhao Chen said.
"Chen'er, when I was in the north all these years, Xiao San'er took care of us every day, and I have already adopted him as a righteous son! From now on, he will be your brother too! Zhao Huan said.
"Oh!" Zhao Chen was slightly stunned, smiled, and said, "That's the best!" He was kind to me, and he also took care of my father and grandfather, and it was only natural for my father to accept him as his son! In this way, tomorrow I will send someone to write the name of the little third child into the genealogy! But Xiao San'er is just a nickname, and you have to give him an official name! ”
"When we were in the Five Kingdoms City, we already gave him a good name, called Zhao Jin!" Zhao Huan said.
"In that case, then Zhao Jin, you are my imperial brother!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The original junior and now Zhao Jin said happily.
"Don't call me Your Majesty anymore, just call me Brother Huang." Zhao Chen said.
"Yes!" Zhao Jin nodded hurriedly.
They all feel warm and happy when they stay here! After eight years, they finally meet again and reunite! The suffering of the past is completely over.
"Chen'er, I'm over fifty years old, my body is old, I can retire in Yanjing City, your father is only in his thirties, and he is in the prime of life, so he can't support his old age now, right?" Everyone was drinking together, and at this time, Zhao Ji suddenly said.
When Kaifeng City was broken, Zhao Huan was only twenty-seven years old, and now he is only thirty-five years old! If it weren't for Zhao Ji to talk about it, Zhao Chen almost forgot that his father was just a middle-aged man!
"This time, there are a lot of royal children returning from the north, and I have decided to set up a Zongren Mansion to manage the royal children. Some of the children of the royal family are not living well, and the emperor can find a way to fund them! The children of the royal family need education and so on, and the father and emperor can be responsible for arranging it! Father, you have suffered in the north for many years, first raise your body, and then think about how to organize this sect's mansion! Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Huan nodded.
"By the way, Chen'er, I have one more thing to say!" Zhao Ji spoke again.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Chen said.
"The ministers of the DPRK and China are too rude! The children of the royal family returned from the north, and there were hundreds of people, large and small, many of whom were former princes! A few days ago, I asked Li Gang to allocate millions of yuan of silver to the children of the royal family to build a palace for these princes, but Li Gang was unwilling! Now that you are back, you will remove Li Gang from the position of prime minister and appoint the children of the clan as prime minister! Zhao Ji said.
"Grandpa Huang laughed again, how can there be a reason for a child of the clan to serve as prime minister? As for building a palace for the princes, I don't think it's necessary! There are a lot of vacant mansions in Yanjing City, and you can allocate some to them! There are many places where the imperial court uses money now, and there is no surplus money of several million guan at all! Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Millions of yuan, can't the imperial court take it out? When I was the emperor, the imperial court could always earn 30 or 40 million yuan a year, and now that you rule the world, the harvest should be even more! Zhao Ji said dissatisfied.
"Now the world has just been unified, but the Central Plains and Yanyun have experienced eight years of war, and the people are not living, and the imperial court has implemented tax exemption in the Central Plains and Yanyun! Now we have conquered the north and Liaodong again, and the lives of the people in these places are even more difficult, and the imperial court has to take out a lot of silver to help the people! I can't wait to spend a penny in half now, where is the money to build a palace for the princes? Zhao Chen said.
"Are you confused that so many places have been laid down and are tax-free?" Zhao Ji snorted coldly.
"The people are living in poverty, so they should naturally be exempt from taxes, so that the world can quickly return to prosperity." Zhao Chen said lightly.
"You take the rest of the bailout silver for the north and Liaodong, and build a palace for the princes." Zhao Ji thought for a while and said.
"It can't be!" Zhao Chen said.
"The princes have returned from the north and have suffered so much, and now they don't even have a palace, don't you think it's too much?" Zhao Ji said.
"I don't think it's overdone! When they come back from the north, they can at least eat and drink enough, don't they? The people of all ethnic groups in the north can't even eat now! Zhao Chen said.
"Is it okay to just eat and drink? We are the children of the royal family, the world belongs to our Zhao family, all the property in the world belongs to our Zhao family, and more than half of the annual tax must be used by our Zhao family, so it will work! When I was the emperor, most of the world's taxes were used on Huashigang, some people said that it was fun, and I did regret it, but now it is for my royal family to build a palace, this is the right thing, and spending money is always right? Zhao Ji said.
"Grandpa Huang's words are wrong! The world is not the world of my Zhao family, but the world of all the people! Jiangshan Sheji is not a private weapon, but a public instrument! Sitting on this throne, I am not serving the Zhao family, but serving all the people in the world! Ruling for the people, I wonder if the emperor's grandfather understands this truth? Zhao Chen said.
"How did the world become the world of the untouchables?" Zhao Ji was puzzled.
"Chen'er, what are you going to do with these royal children who have returned from the north?" Zhao Huan stopped his father at this moment and asked Zhao Chendao.
"I will set aside some of the money for the children of the royal family to start a business! Of course, now the country is in ruins, and there are places to spend money everywhere, so it can only be slowly allocated to the children of the royal family in the future! In addition, in the future, I will formulate relevant laws to restrain the behavior of the royal family! Father, don't worry, the life of the children of the royal family will be much better than that of ordinary people, but it is impossible for the children of the royal family to suck blood from the country endlessly as before! If the children of the royal family want to be above the court and the law, it is impossible! There are many preferential treatment for the children of the royal family, but there will also be many restrictions and constraints, and in some respects, the children of the royal family are not even as free as ordinary people, if the children of the royal family are not willing to ask for these restrictions, then give up the royal status! These need to be discussed by the Military Aircraft Department before they can be formulated. Zhao Chen said.
Zhao Huan was a little dizzy when he heard it, but he finally understood one thing, the treatment of the royal family would be much worse than before, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"There will be no one in the nation who is beyond the law." Zhao Chen said lightly.
"Ridiculous, is it true that you, the emperor, are also subject to the law?" Zhao Ji sneered.
"In the future, when the system is completely fixed, the emperor will also be bound by the law! The emperor can't be unrestrained and reckless, if that's the case, just like the king of Shang and Emperor Yang of Sui, the world will be in chaos again. Zhao Chen said.
"Is this still the emperor?" Zhao Ji scoffed.
"Naturally, he is still the emperor! Okay, let's not talk about that, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's celebrate it today. Zhao Chen said with a smile.
******
In a small courtyard to the north of the palace, two women in palace clothes were chatting in the attic at the moment.
They are both about 20 years old, and both of them are unusually beautiful! One woman was dressed in white, with an indescribable tranquility and gentleness, and the other woman was dressed in yellow, with a faint sassy air on her body.
The second daughter is Zhiyueru and Song Qingyao!
"Why hasn't the husband come back yet?" The moon is like a road.
"He must have gone to visit his father! They hadn't seen each other for eight years, and the father and son had a deep relationship, so it was natural to visit their father first. Song Qingyao chuckled.
"When he comes back, he will be very happy to see the little princess he just gave birth." A happy smile appeared on Zhi Yueru's face and said.
Before Zhao Chen's northern expedition, Zhiyueru was already pregnant, and Zhao Chen had been gone for half a year, and Zhiyueru had already given birth to a girl.
While they were talking here, there were footsteps in the distance, followed by the voices of the palace maids, and the second daughter immediately stood up and walked outside in surprise.
However, when they came outside, they saw that it was not Zhao Chen standing outside, but two other stunning women.
