Chapter 175: Lao Zhao's statement
At the beginning of the establishment of a new dynasty, it is inevitable to face the problem of the founding heroes, why?
Because the founding heroes are all helpers of the establishment of the dynasty, they will inevitably occupy a high position in the court.
Slowly, a powerful force will be formed, and even a person may form a powerful family.
Therefore, many founding emperors tried their best to suppress these founding heroes, such as Liu Bang and his descendant Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor, and others.
Because these people can easily threaten the new regime, and even if they don't, their relatives and children will inadvertently violate the laws of the country.
Zhao Kuangyin also knew that the children of these heroes were very troublesome, but he couldn't do anything to them, even if they didn't have anything, but their Lao Tzu's face should be wanted.
"These people are all relying on their Lao Tzu's power to do evil, Xu'er, when are you going to let them out?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
Although they are locked up, they can't be locked up like this all the time, just teach them a lesson and let them remember it for a long time.
"The child plans to release them in a few days, and let them eat in prison for a few days! Look at them, they dare to look at no one like this. ”
"Xu'er, you are not afraid that they or their father will resent you, which will not be good for you in the future."
Zhao Kuangyin thought far, he was afraid that the forces behind these people would not cooperate with Zhao Xu, after all, this country still had to be handed over to him.
"To be honest, I'm really not afraid of my father, what are I afraid of, if they really do this, even if I have no way for them now, one day I will settle the account for them."
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, Zhao Xu knows that these people are now in high positions, and he has no way to read what to do with them.
But he can wait, ten years can, he knows that it won't be long before these people will be granted idle positions, what is he afraid of.
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin heard his son say such a thing, it was obvious that he was not interested in these people, and it seemed that he still had murderous intent.
"Xu'er, you don't want to ......" Zhao Kuangyin's meaning is very clear, you don't want to get rid of them.
In this way, how much shock will the imperial court cause, the strength of these founding heroes is intertwined, and it is very troublesome.
"No, don't worry, I just want to teach them some lessons, don't think that they are great heroes."
"Besides, their son dares to insult me in public, I am already very tolerant of treating them with great disrespect, and if they are not satisfied, sometimes they don't mind killing or injuring one or two people, Liwei."
It is a very terrible thing for the imperial court to lose its majesty, and these officials are already damaging the majesty of the royal family by doing so.
They actually humiliated the prince in public, saying that if they are small, they look down on the prince, and when they are big, they say where do you put the majesty of my Zhao and Song Dynasty?
Not only do you look down on the prince, but you also piggyback on his father when you insult the prince, who is his father, that is the Ninety-Five Supreme.
You guys are too bullish, you don't even care about the emperor, although you don't know that he is the crown prince and his father is the emperor, but you did it.
When you do this, where can you still take care of my royal majesty, you simply don't take my Da Song in your eyes.
I don't have a heavy punishment, forget it, you can't manage your son, and this prince will discipline you for you.
You still have complaints, just like that, you still have complaints, you think your children have been wronged, then Lao Tzu is reasoning with whoever you want.
Even the emperor doesn't care about it, do you want to give up the throne of my Great Song Dynasty to you, don't force me to kill.
Zhao Kuangyin also understood that Zhao Xu was using this incident to establish authority for the royal family, maintain the dignity of the royal family, and deter those founding heroes.
Less than a year after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin himself relied on which of the founding heroes to sit on the dragon chair.
As mentioned earlier, these founding heroes have great merit and high positions, and if they are not deterred, they will be even more unscrupulous.
"Although I have a good relationship with Shi Shouxin and they know that they will not have two hearts, sometimes some things must be done, and it may hurt the relationship between me and them."
"But I have no regrets, because I have done the right thing with the conscience of heaven and earth, and worthy of the people of the world." Zhao Kuangyin said firmly.
He didn't say that he believed in Shi Shouxin and others, but that he knew Shi Shouxin and others, they would only lead troops to fight, and if they really wanted to engage in politics, it would only be a mess.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin is confident that they will not rebel, and he absolutely believes that even if they rebel, there will not be many people who respond.
"So we can use this matter to beat them, you can ask the eunuchs to pass on the edict in private, saying that they insulted the prince of the dynasty and committed the crime of disrespect, but for the sake of them all founding heroes, they will only be locked up for a few days, I hope they will educate their children well in the future, if there is such a thing again, they will be severely punished."
Zhao Xu came up with an idea, although it was not a clever strategy, but it was enough to deter them.
"By the way, you always mention the word royal majesty today, what do you want to say, I haven't seen you say before, what do you want to do in your heart, give me a foundation."
Zhao Kuangyin also didn't believe that Zhao Xu just used this matter to beat the children of these heroes, in the past, such things were punished, but now they have risen to the royal majesty.
"Hehe, I really can't hide anything from you, I do have other plans, but there is also something to maintain the majesty of the royal family."
Hey, this guy really has other ideas, and he thought it was just an ordinary reminder for these heroes.
"First of all, you also know that my Great Song Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and it is all supported by your own prestige, and most of the forces are in the mobile phones of the founding heroes and local festival envoys, and the imperial court has limited control."
Lao Zhao heard that what this kid said was also the truth, and he knew it best, so he didn't object.
"Since then, the question has arisen, what prestige does our royal family have, how many people are in their hearts towards us, and what is the sense of belonging to us?"
Zhao Kuangyin, who asked a series of questions, was speechless;!
But Zhao Xu didn't see his father's expression, and still said to himself:
"So at this time, we should establish our own authority, let the people identify with us, and their hearts are towards us, this is the so-called human heart."
"I won't talk about how to win people's hearts and minds and let the people live a good life, just talk about these officials, who dare to insult me in public, and they won't take other people to heart."
"Even if they break the law, it is not easy for ordinary officials to punish them, and they can continue to get away with it." Zhao Xu picked up a glass of water on Zhao Kuangyin's imperial case and drank it.
It seems that speech is also a personal work, and what I speak is dry-mouthed, no wonder those leaders always have a glass of water in front of their meetings.
It turns out that if you talk too much, your mouth will be dry, and you have no choice but to drink some water to moisten your throat, which is very important.
"I know a little bit about it, but we can't touch them now, because we don't even have as much power as he does?"
When the emperor came to this, Zhao Kuangyin was also very aggrieved, in the era of the Five Dynasties, when it was possible to be the emperor who held military power, this is normal.
"You're right, do you know what those people say about you now, you also know that my Wind Shadow is pervasive, and of course there are Wind Shadows in the mansions of these heroes."
As mentioned earlier, Kazekage is a specialized intelligence agency that has now formed a powerful network.
It's just that they are only responsible for finding out the information, and then presenting Zhao Xu's most important information for him to make decisions.
On the night of this incident, that is, after these people came to the palace yesterday to see that you had no effect, they went to Murong Yanzhao's house. ”
"It's normal that I didn't give them a satisfactory answer, maybe they got together and relieved the irritability in their chests."
Zhao Kuangyin didn't think much about it, he thought that his brothers would definitely not do anything out of the ordinary.
"Hehe, you're wrong this time, they do have a complaint against you this time. This is what someone has heard with their own ears and seen with their own eyes. ”
Zhao Xu dropped a bombshell, and sure enough, it had an effect and attracted Zhao Kuangyin's attention.
"Oh, what did they say?" Lao Zhao asked with a frown.
These people gathered together and were all filled with righteous indignation, and they were all complaining to Zhao Kuangyin that he was not emotional.
He doesn't forget who supported him to become the emperor, and now he actually turns his face and denies people, typical ungrateful.
Murong Yanzhao was also righteous, and said at that time:
"Brothers, don't say that, our children are doing something wrong, and the emperor also has the emperor's difficulties, we should be considerate."
But some people still say that isn't this a big fart, the emperor can't do it, how can he, the emperor, deserve it. It must be that there are traitors around the emperor, and if it doesn't work, we will clear the king's side,
He regretted it when he said this, this sentence was not said casually, fortunately they were all their own people, they didn't know that their conversation was overheard by others.
"Alas, how can they look at me like this, it's so disappointing to me." Zhao Kuangyin looked a little lonely.
"You haven't seen it clearly, the reason why they can do this is that they have military power in their hands, otherwise they wouldn't dare to do this."
There is a famous saying in the year of the great calamity, "If you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart." "The current situation is a year of great chaos" has a gun in his hand, and his heart is not panicking. ”
The reason why these generals can be so unscrupulous is that they have soldiers and money in their hands, what are they afraid of.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't care what he said before, but today's words stimulated him, and he was determined to change it.
"In that case, I have to think about taking back the military power."
In the face of the incomprehension of this group of buddies, Lao Zhao said for the first time that he wanted to take back the military power, and it seems that this is true.
This is also the first time he has made a clear statement.
