Chapter 207: Candidate for Prime Minister
At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne on behalf of Zhou, and Zhao Xu followed him when he prayed to heaven, which has far-reaching significance.
Pray to Heaven to let God know that he is the Emperor and the Son of God, and I hope to be recognized by you.
This is a big deal, a bigger thing than sacrificing to the temple, and the emperors of the past dynasties did not attach importance to this thing.
Therefore, the emperors of the past dynasties did not prayed to heaven devoutly, which was used to show that their throne was approved by heaven.
It's legitimate, you see I've said it to God, who else can oppose it? Are you bigger than God?
This is very important and extremely meaningful for a newly enthroned emperor, and it must be done independently by himself.
Throughout the ages, I haven't heard of that emperor bringing his son to participate together, but Zhao Kuangyin is the only one in the world.
At that time, some people with exquisite minds immediately sniffed the smell, and it turned out that the new emperor wanted to make the surrounding prince.
Sure enough, as soon as the worship to heaven ended, Zhao Xu was successfully named the crown prince, which was unsuspenseful.
I spent so much effort to let Zhao Xu ascend to the crown prince, and now you actually told me that you are not willing to inherit the throne.
It's a big deal, and as I said before, it's bound to lead to a fight between flesh and blood, and that's the most terrible thing.
Zhao Kuangyin is a person who values affection, of course, he also attaches great importance to family affection, especially now that he is in the royal family, he will never let such a thing happen as taking the heir.
Those are all their own flesh and blood, and they are all connected with their own flesh and blood, and there must be no such fratricidal tragedy.
"You know, to put it mildly, even if you die, you will die on this dragon chair, you must not give your younger brothers a chance, so that they feel that they can get on the throne."
"Let them know that they are far away from the throne, that's not what they can think, let's let them be a prince with peace of mind, other things are not something they should worry about, and they shouldn't worry about it."
Zhao Kuangyin is a far-sighted person, and since he ascended the throne, he knew that he would face the problem of an heir.
In history, many powerful dynasties caused a big mess because of the problem of heirs, which led to the coldness of family affection.
A cold dragon chair covered up family affection and everything, and Zhao Kuangyin did not allow such a thing to appear in his Zhao dynasty.
Besides, his eldest son is also very stable, talented, and very satisfied, so he has always thought that he is the most satisfactory successor.
Today, he was surprised to hear him say that he would not necessarily inherit the throne in the future.
Even if he said it was a joke, Zhao Kuangyin didn't think it was a joke, this guy was really capable of doing such a thing.
I must give him a preventive shot in advance, so that he feels that this Great Song is not qualified except for him, the heir.
Don't even make jokes in the future, such jokes will cause a storm in the court if people with a heart hear it.
Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words and his serious expression, Zhao Xu also felt that what Zhao Kuangyin said was right.
So he scratched his head embarrassedly:
"Hehe, I'm just kidding, there's no need to make such a fuss, right?"
When Zhao Kuangyin heard Zhao Xu say this, his sword frowned:
"Jokes? You kid dare to say it's a joke? I think you've definitely thought that way in your heart, right, I don't know you yet. ”
Zhao Xu stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, twenty people in a year, sticking out their tongues, no matter how you look at it, it is not cute.
Not to mention that Zhao Kuangyin's guess was really correct, there was a time when he did think about what the emperor could do.
I'm still tired all day, and I may not be able to satisfy the people of the world, and maybe I will still scold you behind my back.
It is better to concentrate on leading the troops to fight, expand the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and send the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty to distant places.
However, he did not expect that the monarch would be able to trust him so much and hand over the army to him without interfering too much.
Think about it, except for his father Zhao Kuangyin, I'm afraid that no one can really trust him so much.
"At the same time, you have to understand that sometimes people don't think it's a joke when you say it, they think that's what you think."
"Do you know why people say that the emperor is a golden mouth?" Zhao Kuangyin threw out this question.
Where did Zhao Xu know this, he used to hear the lines in the TV series that the emperor was a golden mouth.
As for why he really didn't know what was going on, in his cognition, wasn't what the emperor said a holy decree, and everyone had to abide by it, isn't this Chrysostom Yuyan?
Is there any allusion in this? I haven't heard of this allusion myself, and I haven't heard of it.
Although I don't dare to say that I am a rich five-car, I still trained in general things back then, and now my mind is still impressive.
Why is this Chrysostom Yuyan not impressed at all? I just remember that this golden mouth is explained like this now:
"Chrysostom originally referred to what the emperor said, and generally referred to the unchangeable authority, that is, it was stereotyped and could not be changed."
"I really don't know the origin of this golden mouth, tell me about it."
If you don't understand, you have to ask, Zhao Xu learned this very well, and he used it very well, if you don't understand, you don't ask, it's useless.
"In the eyes of the world, they will definitely think so, and if they think that the emperor's words cannot be changed, they will think that it is Chrysostom Yuyan, but in fact, this is not right, Chrysostom Yuyan is originally a story."
Zhao Kuangyin really has a talent for storytelling, and soon let Zhao Xu understand what Chrysostom Yuyan is, and also know that the emperor can't talk nonsense.
Later, in "Taizu's Living Record", it was recorded that Zhao Kuangyin told this story;
"It is said that in ancient times there was a country where the king had eighteen sons, and each of his sons was very fond of him, and he did not have an heir.
On one occasion he inadvertently said that he would make his seventeenth son his successor. This made Old Seventeen very happy.
But after a hundred years of the old king, it was the eldest who inherited the throne, which made the old seventeen and some of his courtiers who supported him dissatisfied.
So they rebelled, and their reason was that my father had said that he would pass the throne to me, and now that you have ascended the throne, there must be a conspiracy.
You must know that your father is Chrysostom, and it cannot be changed, you are usurping power, and after that, a large-scale war began, and the country was quickly destroyed by his hostile countries. ”
Of course, Zhao Xu knew that this story was made up by Zhao Kuangyin, so that he could inherit the throne with peace of mind.
"So this Chrysostom is very important, I have named you the crown prince, but you will not inherit the unification in the future, what will people think, it is also unfavorable to our Great Song Dynasty, a lesson from the past, do you still have such thoughts?"
Now Zhao Xu understands that this father is changing his way to prevent himself from having the idea of not inheriting the throne.
"Okay, dad, don't say it again, no one can take away my position as the crown prince, by the way, you should tell me about letting me come today, this is the right thing."
I just said a joke and has been taught a lesson until now, but I haven't got down to business yet.
After Zhao Xu said this, Zhao Kuangyin also remembered that today is an important thing to say, how can he talk nonsense here?
"I forgot, it's not you stinky boy who is making trouble here, I just called you here to ask you, who can hold the position of prime minister now?" Zhao Kuangyin entered the role quickly.
"Prime Minister? Now Fan Zhen and Wang Pu are not both in the position of prime minister, there is no vacancy, do you want to add a prime minister? ”
Zhao Xu asked suspiciously.
"No, Fan Zhen said the day before yesterday that he was old and frail, and he wanted to return to his hometown, and I didn't have a suitable candidate, so I didn't make a decision."
What kind of quality is about to resign, it's also such an old age, and it's normal to resign by yourself.
Historically, he was the prime minister who was deposed two years later, and now he is still voluntary two years earlier.
Speaking of Fan Zhen, this person is really remarkable, it is recorded that he has been smart and studious since he was a child, he was able to write poetry at the age of nine, and he was admitted to the Jinshi in the Later Tang Dynasty.
After the fall of the Later Tang Dynasty, he brought his article to meet the prime minister of the Later Jin Dynasty, and was deeply respected by the prime minister and was appointed to the position of foreign official.
Since then, he has been a beauty of the Later Han, Later Zhou, and Great Song dynasties, among which he began to serve as the prime minister during the Later Zhou Chai Rong period.
Now he is also a prime minister in the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't expect that he would ask for his resignation and retirement.
To be honest, Zhao Xu doesn't like such old stubbornness, but it is undeniable that he is still very honest as an official.
"Fan Zhen really wants to resign, so what do you mean?"
"I think Fan Zhen is already old, it's time to let these old courtiers take a break, it's time for the court to let the court enter a batch of fresh blood."
Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything, but he had definitely let these people return to their hometowns, seeing that this meant that a group of young people had been promoted to the court.
It is true that these people are the pillars of the country, but sometimes they are a little bit old and ask what must be stopped.
In order to win the hearts of hundreds of officials, the emperor sometimes has to give them face, which is very unpleasant.
In addition, this group of people is still a bit stubborn, and it is difficult to accept anything new, and they always think that this is not right and that is not right.
Now that Fan Zhen has resigned, Zhao Kuangyin definitely agrees, but he just doesn't know who is the right person to replace him.
He asked Zhao Xu to come over to discuss and see if there was a suitable candidate, and the position of the prime minister was not something that ordinary people could sit in.
