Chapter 355: The Magical Little Prince
Wang Ningan didn't understand in the past, why the courtiers were keen to seize the heir, and they all regarded the prince as the foundation of the country, the emperor was good, just do things honestly, what role can a child have, the foundation of the country is the people's heart, is the people!
Of course, Wang Ningan will still maintain this view, but the smooth birth of the little prince has indeed brought different changes to the Great Song Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, he is not only the prince, but also the son-in-law, his mother is the queen, from the moment he was born, he is a stable heir to the throne, no one wants to get involved, even if there are literati in the world, no one dares to publicly say that the prince is not qualified to succeed to the throne.
This is very important, very important, very important!
The first to feel the strong change was Prime Minister Jia Changchao.
As one of the three culprits who yin Fan Zhongyan, Jia Changchao is really not weak, Fu Bi, Han Qi, what kind of thing! Ten years ago, I drank Lao Tzu's footwashing water, and it is the same now!
Someone wants to ask, why does Jia Changchao seem hesitant, looking forward and backward, and has no courage at all?
It's really no wonder that Jia Xianggong is a family, Zhao Zhen has no children, and civil officials are all vying to tie up with Zhao Zongshi, Jia Changchao has been in the Daimyo Mansion at that time, and he missed a good opportunity to make friends, and he can't get into Zhao Zongshi's inner circle.
With his status, of course, he disdains to hold stinky feet and be a grandson. Therefore, Jia Changchao is outside the mainstream of civil officials, he hooks up with Wang Ningan, and he is reluctant to go against civil officials, which is the reason.
Our Xianggong Jia wants to serve the current saint well, and he has to leave a way to retreat in the future, and he also has to prevent Zhao Zongjing from rising up...... Dancing on the three tips of the knife, replaced by ordinary people, has long been solid, and our Jia Xianggong can be safe and sound, which shows that the skills are profound and unusual.
It's just that the prince was born, and Jia Changchao's attitude was immediately different.
This time, there is no drama in the Runan Palace, and Zhao Zongjing doesn't have to worry about it, he should show the majesty of the prime minister.
In the name of the political affairs hall, Jia Changchao's first performance was to propose a strong army.
Jia Xianggong believes that Wang Ning'an's investment in the capital is very successful, and now the logistics in the capital is developed, and various service industries have absorbed 200,000 laborers, of which 150,000 are the original van army.
These troops were abolished, which directly reduced military spending by 2 million guan and contributed more than 3 million guan in tax revenue.
It is equivalent to adding 5 million to the imperial court, which is a great virtue.
Jia Changchao believed that it could be promoted to the Daimyo Mansion, Hejian Mansion and other places, and used five years to dismantle another 300,000 Xiang troops and completely get rid of the heavy burden of military spending.
At the same time, it is necessary to use the saved military expenses to rectify the forbidden army.
Jia Xianggong believes that in the past, he only focused on disarmament and only wanted to save money, but he forgot the fundamentals.
The armed forces are going to fight, especially at the moment of the great enemy, and any hasty disarmament will bring about disastrous consequences, so disarmament and strengthening the armed forces are two sides of the same coin.
Cut the army, forcibly ban the army!
It is necessary to take the rebuilding of the Jingsai Army as a breakthrough, rectify the Hebei Army, eliminate the old and weak, enrich the war horses, refine the soldiers, expand the ordnance workshop, produce more bed crossbows, increase gunpowder and oil, and study the tactics of restraining the cavalry...... Jia Changchao demanded that the Privy Council should take the lead in the whole army, and at the same time, the Yushitai was responsible for supervising, so as to be fast and effective, and within three or five years, 100,000 soldiers should be formed!
Jia Changchao's suggestion immediately attracted an exclamation.
Including Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu, Di Qing, etc., they were all surprised.
Lao Jia is hidden deep enough, his exposition on disarmament and strengthening the army can be called a classic, with unique vision and profound insights, and he advocates the establishment of 100,000 elites, which is very close to Di Qing's estimated strength of the Hebei Army.
With the experience of Zhao Er's two northern expeditions, the limit of the Liao State is to fight against 200,000 strong soldiers, after so many years, the Liao State has also declined a lot, if the Great Song Dynasty can get 10 elites similar to the beginning of the country, there is the capital to plot Yanyun, plus the cooperation of the Bohai State, the recovery of Yanyun is expected!
"This Jia Ziming is really hidden, why didn't he bring it up earlier?" Ouyang Xi's face was pale, and he was very annoyed.
Fan Zhongyan smiled, "Jia Xianggong is indeed much more powerful than us, people know how to grasp the opportunity, if the time is not enough, it is useless to talk more, when the time comes, it ......will come naturally."
Really let Fan Zhongyan say right, after Jia Changchao made the table, Zhao Zhen called him to the palace, and the monarch and ministers talked alone for a day, and afterwards Zhao Zhen immediately approved Jia Changchao's proposal, and issued an order that Jia Xianggong should preside over the great cause of rectifying military affairs.
……
The magical effect of the little prince is far more than that.
In the past, although Cao Tong had a good relationship with Wang Ning'an, the Cao family did not get involved in the Jingsai army. The reason is very simple, as a relative, you must be cautious in every move, and you can't leave a handle.
Especially when the storage position is vacant, who knows whose hands the next emperor will fall into? If the Cao family crosses the boundary, wouldn't it be looking for death!
When Queen Cao gave birth, the Cao family was completely relieved.
The future emperor is his own family!
And looking at Zhao Zhen's attitude, he likes this child very much, and there were so many noises before, saying that he wanted to select personnel from the children of the clan, as the prince's uncle, Cao Tong stood up and charged for his nephew to hold up a piece of the sky, which was justified.
All Cao Tong did not hesitate to send his own children to join the Jingsai army.
That's a signal.
With the change in the attitude of the Cao family, the remaining generals no longer hesitated, and they all bet on the Jingsai army, and regarded this force as the future prince's personal guard!
I have to say that as soon as the little prince was born, he was supported by all parties, and in addition to his father, countless people took action and tried their best for him.
It's just that this lucky boy doesn't know anything, except for gnawing his fingers, just crying.
Queen Cao left the little prince by her side, although she arranged a nurse, but Queen Cao insisted on feeding herself, sure enough, the little guy was very healthy, tiger-headed, and even crying was extraordinarily energetic.
Zhao Zhen came over to see the child when he was fine, and held his son in his arms, and Uncle Zhao was so happy in an instant. With a son, what he does makes sense, and without a son, the whole world is gray.
"Zitong, I'm going to invite the best gentleman for our son, let Ouyang Aiqing teach him how? Or Fan Aiqing! ”
mentioned her son's education, and it was rare for Empress Cao not to blindly follow.
"Sage, according to the opinion of the concubines, although these old gentlemen are first-class in learning and character, they all lack a little spirituality."
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Zitong, looking at the Great Song Dynasty, is there a more suitable teacher than the two of them?" ”
"Yes!"
"Who?"
"It's Lord Wang!" Empress Cao said with a smile: "Although he has not passed the imperial examination, he is not bad at learning, the "Three Character Classic" was compiled by him, and the arithmetic of the six arts was also created by him. The concubine said something excessive, although Lord Ouyang and Master Fan are both teaching in the Six Arts, but the real soul of the Six Arts is Wang Ning'an! ”
Zhao Zhen laughed, "I really can't hide anything from Zitong's eyes, yes, Wang Qing advocates the unity of knowledge and action, and the students of the six arts are different, just rely on these four words!" Otherwise, when our emperor is older, he will be sent directly to the Six Arts Academy, study with other children, and grow up together...... In this way, our emperor has a large group of friends around him, and they can assist the emperor and let him sit in a secure position. And when he went to the school, the emperor had seen a lot more, and he would not be diligent and indistinguishable...... It's a shame to say it, after so many years, I have finally figured it out and can't trust any group of people. I just listened to the civil officials, and I have been doing nothing for decades, so that the country is in turmoil, and even Li Yuanhao, who is just a little bit, can bully me! ”
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen's fists clenched, and the muscles in his body tensed.
The little prince in his arms seemed to feel his father's strangeness, he stretched out his little hand unhappily, grabbed Zhao Zhen's beard, and tore it hard, his little eyes glared at his father, which caused Zhao Zhen to laugh again, and he didn't even care if his beard was torn off.
Empress Cao hurriedly hugged the child over, and said angrily to her son: "Don't be rude to your father, do you hear?" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "What does the child know, he is still too young, but I am too old to know ......" Zhao Zhen shook his head and cheered up again: "Zitong, I want to clear the four Yiyi for the emperor and give him a peaceful and prosperous world, so that I can rest assured!" ”
The biggest change brought by the little prince is Zhao Zhen!
Zhao Zhen, who has a sense of responsibility and a strong sense of mission, has returned to the state of his youth, and is extremely diligent, not a stupid job when he was young, but full of purpose.
The first thing to bear the brunt of the attack on Xingcheng by the Bohai State was the case of Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen ordered to make full efforts to publicize and show the loyalty and courage of the so-called big clan.
When Wang Ningan left Beijing, he assigned Zeng Bu the task of getting a newspaper to promote the concept of the six arts and sweep away the rotten Confucianism of the old school.
During this time, the newspaper had been mobilized and was very popular among the people.
With the emperor's instructions, the newspapers continued to report on the hatefulness of the Liao State, introduce the situation of the Bohai State, and say that the Xingcheng War was a flower.
The Liao State has suffered by itself, the evil is full of evil, the tribes that can not bear the oppression of the Liao State have risen, and the Bohai State is the fire of the prairie fire, and sooner or later it will destroy the Khitan!
This is the treatment of phobia!
There are also some articles, analogous to the Bohai Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, in contrast, the Bohai Kingdom is just a few hundred remnants, and they can fight back, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are hundreds of millions of dollars, with thousands of miles of land and mountains of wealth.
Why can't the Great Song Dynasty get up and recover Yanyun's hometown?
If Yanyun is no longer gone, what is the face, to meet the ancestors of the past dynasties?
The entire Great Song Dynasty was shaken, and more and more young people even ran to join the army with their families on their backs, and some people ran directly to Hebei, hoping to help Bohai recover the country.
In the midst of this storm, the Liao State sent Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Dayou as envoys to the Great Song Dynasty, and they came back with the champions Zheng Zheng and Liu Linsen.
After meeting Zhao Zhen, Liao Guo showed a super tough attitude.
"We already know that the Great Song Dynasty canonized the king of Bohai, attacked behind the back of the Liao State, reneged on the covenant, and did what he did was despicable and shameless! If you don't stop immediately and hand over the Bohai pirates to Da Liao, there will only be soldiers to meet! ”
After Zhao Zhen read the letter of Liao, he only gave six words: "If you want to fight, then fight!" ”
