Chapter 651: Zhao Zongyuan, who was very shocked
The situation in Western Xia is shocked three times a day, just like the wild grass in the field, throw a spark down, once it burns, no one knows how big the fire will be.
So Wang Ningan quickly rushed to Qinzhou to sit in the town.
Gouya'er and the little prince came a little late, just outside the city gate, they met a group of hungry people, but the soldiers who protected them frightened, His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor's heart and soul, he had an accident, it was not just as simple as losing his head!
The soldiers outside the city hurriedly rushed up, separated the chaotic people, and the masters of the Japanese army and the Shanzi battalion protected the prince into Qinzhou, and when Wang Ning'an's line arrived, the little prince was a little embarrassed, and there was a layer of delicate sweat beads on his head, and he was embarrassed to look at the dog's teeth.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
During the time when he lived in Wang Ning'an's house, Zhao Zongyuan learned to admit his mistakes.
For the royal family, it is very difficult to admit mistakes, how can there be mistakes in the son of saints?
Even if Zhao Zhen is a benevolent king, he rarely issues edicts against himself, and the prince is a half-monarch, so he naturally has to be like his father. But Wang Ningan didn't see it that way, he once failed to take the little prince to ride a horse as agreed, so he honestly accepted the punishment, and Zhao Zongyuan felt sorry from then on.
The dog was very generous, hooked his shoulders and back, and shouted, "What's wrong with you? β
"I'm the one who brought in so many hungry people and caused trouble for the guards."
Gouya'er still shook his head, "Caring for the hungry people and giving them food is a good deed." β
"But good things didn't lead to good results!" Zhao Zongyuan insisted: "Mr. said that it is also a mistake to do bad things with good intentions, so in the final analysis, I am wrong!" β
Dogtooth blinked his eyes, too lazy to say, his dogtooth eldest young master never got entangled in right or wrong...... When he arrived in Qinzhou, he just wanted to have fun.
The weather is very gloomy, maybe it will snow in a few days, and Gouya thinks that he should hurry up and build a sled, and then let Erha pull it and run around.
You might even be able to pick up pheasants and hares in the snow...... The two little ones waited in the living room for a while, and the dogtooth was very impatient, and he looked around, but found a crossbow on the wall, which was very exquisitely made, and the parts on it were very complicated, and it was a good thing at first glance.
The dog's teeth tugged hard, but they didn't pull away.
He was a little depressed, if only he could pull away, maybe the eagle in the sky wouldn't be able to escape his attack...... The door was pushed open, and Wang Ningan walked in from the outside.
"There are too many things, so your Highness has been waiting for a long time."
"It's okay!"
Zhao Zongyuan hurriedly said: "Mr. works hard for the country, the disciple is just here to cause trouble, please don't blame Mr." β
Wang Ningan sat down and took a good look at Zhao Zongyuan.
The little guy is much taller than a few years ago, and his body has grown, not like when he was wrinkled, very short, between his eyebrows, like his father for seven points, and three points like his mother, Zhao Zhen and Queen Cao are not ugly people, no matter how they are combined, they are not ugly ghosts, in fact, Zhao Zongyuan is more handsome than his father.
Polite, humble and steady, I really grew up.
Wang Ningan smiled happily, "Your Highness is merciful, how can there be any guilt." The ministers should be grateful to Your Highness, when you entered the city, the hungry people you met were all from Western Xia. Li Liangzuo exploited excessively, blackmailed the people, knocked out the bones and sucked the marrow, the people of Western Xia were overwhelmed, and in the past two months, more than 5,000 people fled to the Great Song Dynasty. Di Xianggong was afraid that they would collude with Western Xia in the front and act as a conspiracy, so they were all sent to Qinzhou and other places to settle down. His Royal Highness felt sorry for the hungry people and rewarded them with meat, this matter has been preached by the ministers to the Western Xia side, I believe that it will not be long before more Western Xia people will run to the Great Song Dynasty, speaking of which is still the credit of His Royal Highness. β
After listening to Wang Ning'an's words, Zhao Zongyuan, who was still very self-reproachful just now, showed a smile and was very bright.
The little dog Ya'er tilted his head to the side, and suddenly said, "Gou Jian said; 'The widow hears the sage of the ancients, and the people of the four directions return to it, and if the water returns, it will also be. Is that what it means? Being good to the people is the king? β
Don't look at Gouya'er's young age, but he has a smart brain, and the people he comes into contact with are all geniuses in the world, such as Su Da Su Er, such as Ouyang Xiu, such as Fan Zhongyan, influenced by these people, his knowledge is far from being comparable to children of the same age.
Even Zhao Zongyuan pondered: "Sir, the so-called benevolent government is not so simple, right?" β
Wang Ning'an smiled, "Your Highness, there are some things that are dry in your mouth, and you can't explain them clearly for three days and three nights, so it's better to let it go and just see how it works." β
Zhao Zongyuan nodded immediately, he likes to follow Mr. Wang the most, it is this refreshing energy, there is no need to face boring preaching, everything has to be told with facts.
β¦β¦
Wang Ningan let them rest for two days, and then took a little time every day to follow Wang Ningan to read the report sent from the front.
Zhao Zongyuan watched for a few days, and he found that more and more displaced people from Western Xia poured into the Great Song Dynasty, and the number exceeded 10,000...... Of course, the Western Xia side will not be indifferent, Li Liangzuo sent the minister of state Liang Yibury, commanded the capture army, and severely suppressed it, where the people fled more, they would be severely punished.
This guy even implements a armor protection system, every ten households guarantee each other, one family escapes, and all ten households will be executed! Ten families flee together, and the village will be destroyed!
Li Liangzuo's ferocity is staggering, according to the secret report, there are at least ten villages that have been destroyed, relying on killing, Li Liangzuo has maintained the stability of Western Xia, although there are still people running to the Great Song Dynasty, but the number has decreased significantly.
"Barbarians are barbarians, Li Liangzuo is too brutal!" Zhao Zongyuan said angrily.
Gouya'er also gritted his teeth, "Dad, you should send soldiers to rescue the people, I think as long as the heavenly soldiers arrive, the people of Western Xia will look at the wind and descend, eat pot pulp, and welcome the king." β
Wang Ningan smiled, and he pushed the official document in his hand aside.
"You two come here, let's discuss, how did the exiles from Western Xia come from?"
As soon as Wang Ningan finished speaking, the little prince hurriedly said: "It was Li Liangzuo who was forced out by the tyrannical conquest!" β
"Then why did Li Liangzuo extort violently?"
"This ......" Zhao Zongyuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Because he is insatiable, indulges in enjoyment, and does not sympathize with the suffering of the people, in short, he is not good at benevolent government!" β
Wang Ningan said with a smile: "What His Highness said, I'm afraid it's just a clichΓ© of Mr. Xuetang!" β
Zhao Zong's face flushed.
But the dog on the side, holding his cheeks, thought for a long time and said: "It's compensation!" It's the indemnity of the Great Song Dynasty! forced him to increase taxes on the people. β
This answer made Zhao Zongyuan a little difficult to accept.
The Great Song Dynasty has always been upright, upright, and benevolent, how could he do things that bully others? Zhao Zongyuan wanted to refute immediately, but he knew that Mr. was most opposed to empty words.
Therefore, Zhao Zongyuan quickly flipped through the secret report in his hand, he read several copies in a row, and had to admit in despair that it seemed that the taxes levied by Western Xia were indeed dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty.
Could it be that the suffering of the people of Western Xia was actually given by the Great Song Dynasty?
Zhao Zongyuan suddenly fell into a tangle, this is too big a gap with the Great Song in his mind, after all, almost every gentleman is speaking good things about the Great Song Dynasty, they shape the Great Song Dynasty into a perfect country, even if it is a foreign war, it is forced to be helpless, and it is others who are bullied to the doorstep.
After the end of the war, the Great Song Dynasty has always been kind to the people, compensating for the dead and wounded, everyone is grateful to Dade and loyal to the court, even if the former thieves will be influenced.
For example, Dong Yu of the Qing Tang Dynasty, he went to school at the Royal Martial Arts Academy, and he cried bitterly several times, lectured to everyone, admitted his mistakes, and thanked the court for its magnanimity and made him a new man......
If Zhao Zongyuan is a good baby with some ideas, then Gouya is a completely bad student, he can memorize all the articles required by the teacher, but he never believes the above conclusions, let alone the truths that the teacher says.
Whenever the teacher gave them a long speech, the dogtooth fell asleep, which was more effective than any lullaby.
So I don't think there's anything wrong with doing this!
"For so many years, it has been Xixia bullying the Great Song Dynasty, and there are still New Year's coins in the past? Why can't you care about them asking for money, I think it's too little, it should be increased several times, it's better to squeeze all their oil and water dry! Don't forget, the old minister died at their hands! β
Of course Zhao Zongyuan knew, but he was still very entangled.
"The people of Western Xia are always innocent, right? They are so pathetic! β
"They are not pitiful!"
Gouya'er said unceremoniously: "Do you remember what Mr. Wuxue said?" Both the Western Xia and the Khitan were soldiers of the whole country. There are less than 2 million people in Western Xia, but one out of two can mobilize 500,000 people! Haoshuichuan, Sanchuankou, the one who killed our Great Song soldiers was the son of these ordinary people! They are not innocent, they are all self-inflicted, and they are to blame! β
Dogtooth raised her chin and said triumphantly, "Dad, am I right?" β
Wang Ningan snorted, "It must have been taught by Su Zizhan, so you should have less contact with him in the future, so as not to learn badly." β
Gouya'er was so angry that he corrected: "This is what I thought of myself, and it has nothing to do with my uncle!" Uncle tell me, don't tell you! I'm afraid I'll misunderstand. β
Wang Ningan shook his head helplessly, "It's done, independent thinking, worthy of praise, it's just a young age, don't be too extreme...... Many things are not up to the common people to decide, they just follow the wind and grass, His Royal Highness will inherit the unification in the future, and he must also keep this in mind. β
Zhao Zongyuan nodded vigorously, "The disciple respectfully follows the master's teachings. β
"Your Highness, there is still some truth in the minister, which is the real key, you have to care about the people, but you can't be kind to women!" Wang Ningan said with a smile: "The minister instigated the people of Western Xia to flee to the Great Song Dynasty, Your Highness, can you know how many people died because of this?" If they hadn't fled, the men and horses of Western Xia would not have killed them! β
"Ahh Could it be that I'm killing again? β
Zhao Zongyuan suddenly became frightened, yes, if the Western Xia people would give them meat to eat because the Great Song Dynasty had a benevolent prince, they ran over one after another, and died in the hands of the captive army, then who is the murderer? His own good deeds would have such a result, Zhao Zongyuan was messy.
Wang Ningan suddenly smiled, "Your Highness, how is it?" Reality is not the same as books, right? β
