Chapter 1140: Royal Armed Forces
Wang Yan went crazy, not pretending, nor drinking medicine, but really scared and shocked.
He couldn't understand that as long as a person with a normal brain would not give up the power in his hands, let alone a dignified Ninety-Five Supreme! Even if the first emperor Zhao Zhen, such a benevolent person, for the sake of the old Zhao family, he actually disregarded the love of husband and wife, and wanted to attack Queen Cao, the father is like this, how can the son be an exception.
Wang Yan was full of confidence, but Zhao Shu gave him a big surprise.
Relying on the emperor and washing away hatred is Wang Yan's last hope, but the result was disappointed before it started, no matter how strong his heart is, he can't bear it, not to mention that Wang Yan has reached the verge of collapse, he went crazy directly, like a dog with a broken spine, and he was left to survive.
No one cares if he lives or dies and how long he can live, on the contrary, to live in such a humble and desperate way, the longer he lives, the more torturous it becomes.
Seeing his eldest brother like this, there was still a hint of joy in his sadness, not that he had no brotherhood, but that this was already the best result.
For Wang Anshi, he only said that Wang Yan's old illness had relapsed, and he spent most of the year recuperating from his illness, and he couldn't care about anything other than sorry for his son.
After Wang Ningan learned of Wang Yan's fate, he sighed slightly, Hui Ji was not long-lived, and Uncle Wang was also self-inflicted, and he took the blame.
There are more important things to do, he is too lazy to take care of the Wang family, after all, Wang Anshi has never been his enemy, on the contrary, the two of them are still confidants who cherish each other.
For example, this time Zhao Shu issued an order, and Wang Anshi also knew about it, he dragged his sick body, and he must come to visit Wang Ningan and have a good talk. Where could Wang Ningan be so ignorant, he came over in person to visit Wang Anshi.
"Brother Jiefu, the entire Great Song Dynasty, you can mention me a few words, it's really difficult to say something from your heart and lungs, like walking on thin ice."
Wang Anshi smiled, "Lord Wang, if you say this to others, people will definitely think you are hypocritical." ”
"What about Brother Jiefu?"
"The prince's difficulty is greater than anyone else's, Your Majesty's will is not only a great wisdom, but also a great means, how the prince weighs and implements it is the real key." The reluctant face said solemnly.
Wang Ningan gave a thumbs up, I have to say that Wang Anshi is clumsy in intrigues, clumsy in seeking his life, and even in the heat of governing his family and teaching his son, but in the overall pattern, only he can keep up with Wang Ningan's rhythm, as for Wen Yanbo and others, he can lift his shoes at most.
The two soon chatted warmly, and the content of the conversation became more and more to the core.
Zhao Shu promised to delegate power, regardless of whether he really wants to give up it all, and more importantly, hand over the power to the civil officials, can everyone carry it!
Of course, with Wang Ning'an here, even if Zhao Shu does not hand over power, there is nothing.
But Wang Ningan can't always occupy the position of prime minister, in fact, he is pushing the law change so violently because he wants to finish things within one term, and then really retire and enjoy his old age in peace.
After so many years of hard work, he is really tired, physically and mentally exhausted, and he is no longer busy day and night, the devil knows what he will do!
Therefore, it is necessary to consider long-term stability, no matter whether they are virtuous or stupid, whether they are strong or weak, whoever takes over the prime minister and the political affairs hall can basically maintain the overall situation and avoid major chaos.
Everything must be traced back to the source, why Zhao Shu is willing to take the initiative to hand over power, of course, there is his sincerity, but more is helpless...... The previous assassination almost killed him, and then the queen mother forced the palace, and now it is Wang Yan who writes a letter, continuous blows, coupled with the experience of the early years, let Zhao Shu see it thoroughly clearly, although the throne is good, but the height is unbearable, in front of the golden dragon chair, the husband and wife are estranged, the mother and son turn against each other, relatives are not relatives, brothers are not brothers, they are all crazy, no wonder the emperor is called a widow again, there is nothing wrong at all, it is too appropriate!
Zhao Shu is not a strong-hearted and iron-willed person, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to feelings, whether it is the master-apprentice relationship with Wang Ning'an, or the husband and wife relationship with Wang Qing, the father-son relationship with his son, and the brotherhood with Gouyaer, they are all things that he cannot give up.
In order not to let these emotions change in front of the imperial power, he must do something, which is also something that Zhao Shu has been thinking about.
It's funny to say, he used to read a lot of newspapers and books in Jiangnan, all of which criticized the imperial power, and Zhao Shu was so angry at that time that he was going to die, but it is undeniable that these words left an imprint on his heart. And what really prompted Zhao Shu to make up his mind was his son Zhao Xuan!
He went to ask Zhao Ji what he wanted to do and what his ideal was, but Zhao Ji was timid and didn't dare to speak.
Zhao Shu tried hard to squeeze out a smile, "Emperor, you tell the truth to your father, your father won't blame you, listen to Master, you like to raise dogs, you also like pandas, you have many hobbies, no matter what you do, your father will respect it." ”
Zhao Shu learned from the master's way back then, put his son by his side, and the father and son talked on an equal footing.
Finally, Zhao Ji was encouraged, "I, I want to study medicine, can I succeed?" ”
"Ahh
Zhao Shu was caught off guard and was taken aback by his son, "Emperor, you tell your father, why do you want to study medicine?" ”
"I, I'm afraid." Zhao Ji lowered his head and said pitifully: "My father was sick and threw me in Luoyang, and my mother was also sick, and her face was so scary...... I, I want to learn medicine well, like Mr. Qian, I don't want to, I don't want to ......"
The little one was anxious and frightened, shook his head and burst into tears. Zhao Shu's heart was suddenly hit by something, he hugged his son's shoulder, and said softly: "Emperor, my father promised you that I would ask Imperial Doctor Qian to give you a lesson when I turned back." ”
talked to his son, but Zhao Shu didn't close his eyes all night.
He is very pleased, really, his son is a kind person, a filial child, in the royal family, what he lacks most is family affection, and what he cares about the most is family affection.
At this moment, Zhao Shu even felt that what kind of society and martial arts were not as important as the peace and security of the family...... Of course, this thought only lasted for one night, and after the turn of the day, Zhao Shu still calmed down, he was the emperor, not a chivalrous man who could be willful.
When it comes to big things, you have to think twice.
Zhao Shu weighed it again and again, and he felt that the reason why so many people wanted to use him, the prince, and the people around him to make a fuss was because of unclear rights and responsibilities.
In principle, the emperor's power is unlimited, so whoever wants to make a fuss must influence the emperor's mind, and it has become the best choice to start with the people around the emperor.
Be sure to cut off the paws of these sinister dogs!
Zhao Shu thought about it, and there was only one way, which was to make the division of power clear, try to grasp the big and let go of the small, just focus on a small number of major government affairs, and hand over the rest of the trivial matters.
If there are fewer things, you can take better care of your family and teach your son, at any time, family affection is everywhere, and the royal family is intimate, so outsiders can't see the stitches......
Figure out Zhao Shu's mentality, and how to deal with it will have an eyebrow.
"King Qin, the saint was taught by you, and he is worthy of eloquence and strategy, wisdom and intelligence. What's more, the saint has unparalleled prestige in the army, and it is simply unrealistic to completely empty the emperor's power as some people think. Wang Anshi said slowly: "But the old man thinks that there is no need to worry, after all, the encounter of a saint is not something that every son of heaven can encounter, but the courtiers who may do it are endless, does the prince think so?" ”
Obviously, Wang Anshi doesn't want to do it in one step, he prefers to do it slowly.
This coincides with Wang Ningan!
"Brother Jiefu, between you and me, we are indeed confidants!" Wang Ningan said excitedly: "I think so, in the area of personnel power, the government affairs hall, especially the prime minister, must be recommended by hundreds of officials, approved by the council, and finally select two to three qualified candidates and hand them over to His Majesty for determination." Then the prime minister proposed the list of the remaining ministers, and the emperor also circled them, and as for the six ministers and scholars, the provincial ministers, and the economic and pacification envoys in charge of the garrison, all of them were nominated by the prime minister and approved by the council, without the consent of His Majesty...... The tenure of these people should also be borne by the prime minister, what does Brother Jiefu think? ”
Wang Anshi pondered for a long time and nodded, "Well, King Qin's method is good, in fact, to put it bluntly, the current situation is similar, Your Majesty can only control the political hall and the six Shangshu levels, as for the squire, Pingzhang affairs, few can be in the emperor's heart." The prince's arrangement is just to turn some rules that have been formed into articles, I think it is feasible! ”
"It's not as simple as a rule." Wang Ningan smiled, "According to the previous situation, Your Majesty can participate in the whole process, and even surpass some of the talents you value, and directly enter the political hall." ”
Wang Anshi is too familiar with this situation, and the fact that he can enter the political hall in this life is the result of Zhao Zhen's promotion.
In the original history, he was even more favored by Zhao Ji, and in a few months, he was directly promoted from a local official to a governor, and the speed was faster than a rocket, which is a miracle.
Once it is implemented according to Wang Ning'an's plan, the emperor can only be selected at the last time, and the person he likes will not even have the possibility of entering the list.
There is no doubt that the power of the emperor will be significantly curtailed.
If you meet a shrewd and wise emperor, you can still have a little room to play, if you are a mediocre person, you can give something completely - Wang Ningan was suddenly very worried, he was worried about Zhao Ji, with the situation of this kid, maybe it was the latter. When the master digs a pit for the apprentice, it makes people's old faces red!
However, Wang Anshi, as if he had forgotten that Zhao Ji was his grandson, said excitedly: "The next thing is financial power, which I think should be pinched in the hands of the political hall and the political council, after His Majesty selects the prime minister, if you don't give the financial power to the prime minister, how can the prime minister rule over the hundred officials and govern the world?" ”
The two men exchanged views and agreed that the prime minister would be responsible for the budget.
Next is military power.
This is something that Zhao Shu is unwilling to let out, and Wang Ningan doesn't want to really take over.
"Brother Jiefu, the prime minister is in charge of the budget, which naturally includes military expenditures, and it is impossible for Wufu to become big like the five generations. I propose that all the armed forces be unified and reorganized into the royal armed forces, Your Majesty is the commander of the three armed forces, and has the power to wage war against foreign countries, and all soldiers must be loyal to Your Majesty......" Wang Ningan said seriously.
