Chapter Fifty-Four: The Funing Hall Conspiracy
That night, in the Funing Hall of the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Zhao Kuangyin had just finished reading the recital, stopped the pen in his hand, and was just about to get up from his seat, and at this moment, the chamberlain Zhang Dejun told Zhao Dezhao, the king of Liang, that he was at the door of the palace.
Late at night, Zhao Kuangyin knew that his son must have something important, so he also suppressed the bitterness in his heart and announced that Zhao Dezhao would enter the hall.
Zhao Dezhao quickly entered the hall, stepped into the imperial table, and arched his hands and said: "Zhao'er disturbed Daddy late at night, I hope Daddy will forgive me." ”
After speaking, Zhao Dezhao pulled out the song from his cuffs, stepped forward and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin, and said, "Daddy, this is the child's statement and suggestions and methods about the local festival envoys and the forbidden army. ”
"Oh? Is it? "Zhao Kuangyin since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, has been thinking about weakening the military power in the hands of the generals, but in the Chenqiao Mutiny from the dragon ministers, most of them are their brothers, close relations, and the whole body is involved, so it is not easy to deal with, and among the ministers, it is Zhao Pu who has a close relationship with himself, and Zhao Pu has repeatedly played to weaken the military power in the hands of the generals, and last year, he promoted himself to the official position of the brother of the forbidden army, and eliminated a number of troops to the forbidden army, all of which have only improved from a small part.
The art of the emperor pays attention to balance, and Han Feizi also said that the art of the emperor is a courtier. Not letting the generals become bigger and avoiding the generals from gaining power is a knife hanging in Zhao Kuangyin's heart.
Just a few days ago, he appointed his own brother Zhao Guangyi as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion and Zhao Guangmei as the Yin of Xingyuan, inserting the children of the royal family into the civil official group.
And Wang Pu, Fan Zhen, Wei Renpu, Wang Pu and others are the old ministers of the Zhou Dynasty, and now above the court, the heads of civil officials are all former courtiers, and Zhao Kuangyin's side, Zhao Pu is his former minister.
Tonight, his son prepared a note, and Zhao Kuangyin hoped to see different points of view in the book.
Zhao Kuangyin took Zhao Dezhao's recital and looked at it. In Zhao Dezhao's recital, it also explained the scourge of military generals to seize power, the rebellion in the Tang Dynasty was a lesson from the past, don't make the same mistakes, and the top priority is to weaken the military power in the hands of military generals.
Last year, one day after the rebellion of Li Yun and Li Chongjin was quelled, Zhao Kuangyin issued an order to summon Zhao Pu, and he hoped to solve the strategy of changing the emperor with eight surnames and twelve monarchs in the past few decades since the end of the Tang Dynasty, fighting endlessly, wanting to destroy the world's soldiers and build a long-term plan for the country.
Zhao Pu is proficient in governing the Dao, and has long considered these problems, he once proposed that the local feudal towns are too heavy, the monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, as long as the power is reduced, the money valley is controlled, and the elite soldiers are collected, the world will naturally be stable.
In the past few months, Zhao Kuangyin has been secretly carrying out actions to weaken the power of the military, and some of his generals have adopted the operation method of rising and descending secretly, and today Zhao Dezhao raised this question again, and he also saw the arrogance of the generals.
If it weren't for the appeasement method of surrender after he ascended the throne, I am afraid that most of the military generals would rise up and overthrow their own rule by recovering the previous dynasty.
The rebellion of Li Yun and Li Chongjin last year is still vivid, and it is still in front of him, Zhao Kuangyin stared for a moment, and then continued to watch the music.
At this moment, there were only two Zhao father and son in the huge Funing Palace, Zhao Kuangyin raised his head, looked at Zhao Dezhao, and then continued to bury his head in watching Zhao Dezhao's performance.
The more Zhao Kuangyin looked at it, the more excited he became, all the notes written by Zhao Dezhao brought Zhao Kuangyinjun a novel feeling, and when he saw that the military academy was about to ask Zhao Dezhao, suddenly Zhang Dejun's male duck voice came from outside.
"Official, Lord Zhao asks to see you." Zhang Nei entered the hall to make a prayer and interrupted Zhao Kuangyin.
"Xuan." really "said" Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.
As soon as Zhao Pu entered the palace, he saw that King Liang was also in the palace, and under questioning, he knew that Zhao Dezhao was also here for the matter of military power, and he also had an alliance in his heart, so he immediately took out a note from his cuffs, and the statement on this note was condensed by his painstaking efforts for several months.
"Oh! Brother Ping, you also have a sparse performance. Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Pu, then glanced at Zhao Dezhao again, and then laughed, "What day is today, the two of them entered the palace one after the other, and they both have a note, I want to see what Brother Zeping's song has written?" ”
In fact, looking at Zhao Dezhao's recital, Zhao Kuangyin was a little surprised in his heart, and there were also some surprises, and Zhao Pu has always been a staff member of the submarine mansion that he relies on, so he respects Zhao Pu very much, and calls him his brother in private.
Zhao Kuangyin then got up from the dragon seat, walked quickly to Zhao Pu's side, and took the note handed over by Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu bowed, and then handed the song to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin spread out the recital and watched it. In Zhao Pu's recital, he also proposed to weaken the military general's military power, and later also proposed some ways to weaken the general, but the method proposed by Zhao Pu was a method of weakening, and Zhao Dezhao also proposed other solutions on top of weakening.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin began to compare the methods of the two songs, but for the military general's military power, Zhao Kuangyin did not want to do more, he was also a military general, so he thought more about dealing with this matter.
Zhao Kuangyin put the two pieces together, and then asked the two to look at each other's notes, and the two picked up the notes and looked at them.
After all, Zhao Dezhao was prescient, so he didn't think it was great for Zhao Pu's suggestion, and for future generations, there were many loopholes and defects, but out of respect, he also praised this performance.
However, when Zhao Pu picked up Zhao Dezhao's recital, he also mentioned the rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty and the scourge of military generals interfering in politics, which was the past of the previous dynasty, and also proposed to weaken the military power of military generals.
When Zhao Pu saw this, he glanced up, looked at Zhao Dezhao with approving, and then looked down again.
When he saw the second half of Zhao Dezhao's recital, Zhao Pu's heart was full of turmoil, especially His Royal Highness King Liang proposed the training of soldiers in the military academy and the addition of martial arts.
"Zhao'er (Your Highness), what is a military academy?" Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu blurted out at the same time.
"Daddy, Mr. Zeping, this military academy is actually almost like a school and a private school, and it is a place to cultivate talents......" Zhao Dezhao said a lot in one breath.
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu also knew what a military school was from Zhao Dezhao's mouth, and now they are more aware of the role of this military school, and Zhao Dezhao also said that it would be weakened
Although the military power in the hands of military generals will make the world stable for a while, if it is invaded by foreign enemies and the country has no available generals, how can it resist the enemy at that time, and it will be harmful to the country in the long run.
For example, if it is in a state of fragmentation today, all countries are eyeing each other, weakening the military power in the hands of military generals, and maybe it will backfire, so Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu are also worried about this matter, but after hearing Zhao Dezhao's words today, both of them think that this matter is feasible.
It's just that this major matter in the DPRK and China still has to be discussed with others, and this matter is a matter between the civilian clique and the military clique, so there are only a few ministers who can be discussed.
"His Royal Highness has a good strategy, which not only solves the problem of military generals interfering in politics, regains military power, but also cultivates talents for the Great Song Dynasty, which is really a double win. Zeping admired. ”
"Mr. Zhao praised it falsely, boy, this is just talk on paper, and this matter will have to be tried before it is conclusive."
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu turned their backs, and then whispered for a long time, Zhao Dezhao's side was not very smooth, and they couldn't hear the conversation between the two.
“……”
“……”
"Okay, just follow what Zeping said......"
"Official, it's late tonight, so I'll retire first. The matter proposed by His Royal Highness, you might as well let a few governors discuss it tomorrow, Zeping estimates that the matter of the military academy is still promising, but those ministers who are deeply Confucian do not know what kind of mentality they will do, and this is what the ministers are worried about. Zhao Pu bowed and retreated.
"On the ninth day of the seventh month, I will have a banquet for the generals in the palace." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said such an inexplicable sentence.
After Zhao Pu left, only the Zhao father and son were left in the hall, and Zhao Dezhao was shocked when he heard Zhao Kuangyin's words, and this drama is estimated to be repeated.
"Daddy, the matter of the military school, the child is imperative, those students and ministers who have been educated by Confucius and Mencius, let them say it, the child believes that time will prove everything." Zhao Dezhao swore that a raging fire burned in his heart.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was just about to sit down, stood still, then turned around, patted Zhao Dezhao on the shoulder and said, "Zhao'er, even if there is an obstacle ahead, Daddy will stand on your side." ”
"Hmm!"
…
At the moment, in Jiangning Mansion, in the East Palace of the Imperial Palace.
After Li Jing's death in Hongdu, Hongdu officials quickly passed the news to Jiangning Mansion, and at the same time, Hongdu ministers returned to Jiangning Mansion with Li Jingzi's palace.
Three days later, Li Congjia, the crown prince who was far away in Jiangning Mansion, had received the news and began to prepare for the funeral and his accession to the throne.
