Chapter 154: Strong Trunks and Weak Branches

Zhao Xu is a talent who wants to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laborably, but I just don't know if his idea can be realized?

What he is talking about here is rising, and Zhao Kuangyin's brows over there are about to be twisted together, and the more he listens to it, the more it is not like that.

"I said that I can understand you kid in front, is this behind, what kind of physical fitness do you say you want to test this, a Sven reader, why do you want such a good physique?"

In Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, the reader can read with peace of mind, regardless of the rest, he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads the sage books.

Not only Zhao Kuangyin thinks so, but other people also mean this, in their minds, readers should be like this.

"Besides, those are some big and rough things, wouldn't it be insulting to let the reader do this, isn't it a bit ...... to do this?"

No wonder the status of the literati in the Song Dynasty was very high, and even Lao Zhao valued this literati very much in his heart, could the status not be high?

Test their physical fitness and feel that it is an insult to the reader, insulting Sven, this article must be changed, otherwise I don't know what will happen?

"Father, what you said is a little wrong, what insults Sven, this is for their good! Let me ask you, what is the purpose of their participation in the imperial examination? ”

Zhao Xu wants to completely expel this scholar in the hearts of the current top leaders of the empire, which is a very noble idea.

You can't put the reader in such a high position like the original, this bad habit must be changed, otherwise it won't be the original Great Song Dynasty?

This must be changed, and it must be changed according to one's own wishes, and I don't want those officials of the Great Song Dynasty in the future to become people who have no backbone and can only sell poetry and songs.

"Of course, they participated in the imperial examination in the hope of being able to go to high school, and then the imperial court awarded them official positions and glorified their ancestors, which is well known."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why, but he still answered honestly, isn't this what he participated in the imperial examination for?

This is the dream of many scholars, and many people have even struggled for this for a lifetime, in order to be able to glorify their ancestors in high school?

"You're only half right, you're right, they're here to glorify their ancestors and seal their wives and sons, but more often than not, they want to show their ambitions. ()”

High school students will be sent to various places to govern the local area, and they will be able to fulfill their ambitions well.

"The imperial court provided them with official positions, which is to provide them with a platform to display their talents, so that they can guard the four directions for the imperial court, which is also what the imperial court needs."

The imperial court passed the imperial examination in order to find suitable talents to govern the country, which was what each needed.

"Speaking of this, father, you should understand that since they are governing the country on behalf of this court, this requires them to have a good figure."

"Just imagine, a capable person, but his body is very weak, so how can he govern the place with peace of mind, so I put forward this article."

Zhao Kuangyin was also able to accept his explanation after listening to him, and he also understood that a person who was frail and sick all day long and weak could not serve the court with peace of mind.

It's not that they don't do their best, it's just that they are not feeling well, so they can't help but ask them to be treated and rested, right?

But Zhao Kuangyin always had a pimple in his heart:

"This makes the people who are afraid of reading unwilling, they bury their heads all day long, where do they have time to exercise their bodies, I am afraid that it will cause strong opposition, we must not offend this reader?"

"Hmph, they dare, these scholars are spoiled, I should be tough, you must know that they are our servants, the people we pay to hire, what qualifications do they have to talk nonsense."

They also objected, if you don't want to participate, you can not participate, and I didn't invite him to come, I love to come or not, saying that it is easy to chew his tongue and chew his tongue, and he will be disqualified for life, even his children and grandchildren will be canceled.

"No matter what we say, they will come according to our requirements, otherwise they will be disqualified, when they are qualified, they are willing to accept our imperial examination policy, and they will come again, and they will not come for the rest of their lives."

The only way for scholars to become officials is through the imperial examination, and if you don't let them come now, they won't have to cry blind.

If they are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination, he will cut off their career path, which is not endless, so that they will obey.

Zhao Xu is the most capable of dealing with such a person, he knows that what he said today will definitely make a fuss once it is published.

Their scholars will definitely disagree, this is related to their personal interests, and they will definitely oppose the new imperial examination of the imperial court for their own interests.

At this time, the imperial court must not retreat, and concessions mean that it is weak and can be bullied, and it will definitely encourage the arrogance of these scholars.

At this time, we must use thunderous means to deter groups of people to make them obedient, and if you are disobedient, you can go home and farm.

"So don't be afraid of these people, if you don't listen to us, you must let them go to their hometown, we can't let them obstruct the first imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise where is the authority of my Great Song Dynasty, and where is the face of my court, hum!"

It is also the Great Song Dynasty that has just established a new dynasty, and what is needed at this time is to establish authority, if you dare to challenge my authority, I will take you to the knife.

Although Zhao Kuangyin did not kill a minister without authorization during his reign as emperor, that does not mean that he will not kill.

Now that I hear Zhao Xu say this, I also have a retrospective, yes, I am the emperor, you can do whatever I say!

Besides, I didn't say anything bad, it's all good for the court, so what are you afraid of.

After this matter was discussed, the father and son discussed Shi Shouxin and their affairs again.

"Father, the emperors have changed frequently for five generations, all because the military power is not in the hands of the imperial court, and the local festival envoys hold this military power, and at the same time they also have financial power, which is like a small kingdom."

"Therefore, if we want to solve this matter, the most important thing is to take back the money, power, and soldiers and bring them under the jurisdiction of the central government, so as to avoid the emergence of secession and make our court more stable."

Zhao Kuangyin also knows that he wants to take back these powers, but how to do it, Zhao Kuangyin is not the first time he has heard someone say this. When she visited Zhao Pu at night the night before, Zhao Pu said this.

At that time, Zhao Xu was still on the way back to Kaifeng, and Zhao Kuangyin couldn't sleep, so he told Zhang Dejun to prepare a sedan chair and go to Zhao Pu's mansion.

At that time, it was already late at night, and Zhang Dejun, who was freezing in the sky, meant that it would be good to let Zhao Pu enter the palace for a trip?

As a result, he was reprimanded by Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu made a lot of efforts in the process of Zhao Kuangyin's accession to the throne, and now he is not a small official.

Zhao Kuangyin is ready to let him take over the position of prime minister when Fan Zhen retires, this person still has a certain ability.

The most important thing is that he is loyal to Zhao Kuangyin, and he is a think-tank talent, although he is not as good as Miao Xun, but he is also unmatched.

At that time, Zhao Pudu was already asleep, and when he heard that the emperor was over, he hurriedly got up, but he did not go to greet Zhao Kuangyin but went to the backyard.

When Zhao Kuangyin came, Zhao Pu was carrying a ladder where to prune the branches, and Zhao Kuangyin stopped when he walked to the backyard.

"Pruning branches in this winter, Aiqing is really good Yaxing, hahaha." Zhao Kuangyin quipped at the time.

"Your Majesty, these extra branches will hinder the growth of the big tree, and Wechen will reduce these branches so that the main trunk will be strong, so that the big tree can grow better."

Zhao Pu looked at the emperor with deep meaning, he believed that the emperor would be able to hear what the voiceover was!

"Oh. What did Aiqing say? ”

"The emperor's big tree is like the imperial court, and these branches are like those local forces, if the branches are too vigorous, then the main trunk will not be very strong."

"That is to say, if the local forces are too strong, then the strength of the imperial court will be greatly weakened, which Your Majesty will definitely know very well."

After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he stood aside respectfully, waiting to see Zhao Kuangyin's reaction.

"Uh-huh, yes, do you have any good ideas? I'd like to hear what you think. ”

Zhao Pu was waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to ask, he had already prepared everything.

Immediately, he handed over all the pieces he wrote to Zhao Kuangyin, and the above was the method he thought of in order to eliminate the local separatist forces.

In the final analysis, everything that collects military power and money is just four words -- strong cadres and weak branches.

"These are what Zhao Pu wrote, how about you take a look?" Zhao Kuangyin casually took out three books from his sleeve, and he always carried them with him.

Zhao Xu thought while watching, this is not bad with what has been said in history, this Zhao Pu is really a capable person.

"Yes, this Zhao Pu is really talented and learned, it's not in vain that I found him out of the mountains at the beginning, but there is still a little bit to be decorated here."

"Oh? There needs to be a change there, you can tell me? Zhao Xu actually said that he wanted to decorate, that is, to change, and Zhao Kuangyin had to pay attention to it.

"You see here that it says that it is good to practice more military methods. It is not easy to create the dictatorship of military generals, but it is also easy to cause a situation in which soldiers do not know generals and generals do not know soldiers, and this will cause a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army. ”

"It is also said here that as soon as there is a war, let a general lead the troops, how can this general and the soldiers be unfamiliar with how can they better coordinate the soldiers, isn't this nonsense?"

This is an obvious drawback, these Zhao Xu can easily see that he still wants to establish a military region in the local area, but the time is not ripe now, there is no way at all.

Zhao Kuangyin was right to hear him say this, he was also a general, and he knew the disadvantages better than Zhao Xu.

But on the other hand, it is indeed not easy to cause the local power to grow, which is really conducive to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

He thought it was just the best thing to do at the moment, and he didn't think much else.
