Chapter 212: Dialogue between the Monarch and the Minister

This is an opportunity, I was about to create an opportunity for myself, but I didn't expect that now the opportunity was actually delivered to the door. (.)

There are many people who always envy others, saying that they can succeed when others encounter a good opportunity, and they have no chance if they don't succeed.

But they don't know that the opportunity has come quietly when they don't know, the opportunity is around you, but you haven't been able to seize it.

I still believe in that sentence, opportunities are for those who are prepared, and we must always be ready to wait for the opportunity to come.

Even if you don't have the opportunity, you have to create an opportunity for yourself, and you have to make yourself successful, as long as the chance of success is greater.

Just like the current Zhao Pu family, they are always ready, waiting for the day when the opportunity comes, and they are already quite prepared.

is still preparing to fight for it yourself even if you don't have the opportunity, no wonder people can become the famous face of the Song Dynasty in the future?

Just look at other people's mentality, you will know, people's success is not accidental, you should have an epiphany now.

Looking for Zhao Pu here, he is still expounding his own point of view, his own about the root cause of cholera for five generations, so as to serve the later strategy.

"Your Majesty, this feudal town is the root of the Five Dynasties, in fact, when the feudal town was first set up, it was still conducive to the rule of the imperial court."

Feudal towns probably appeared after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and at first they were intended to strengthen their control over the region.

At the beginning, it meant to defend the place, but I didn't expect that this feudal town would later become the source of the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning, the feudal town did play a role in stabilizing the place, and the Tang Dynasty was stable for many years.

Later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and in order to quell the rebellion, the central government of the Tang Dynasty increased a lot of military towns, that is, feudal towns.

In order to facilitate the command of the army to quell the rebellion, the feudal towns formed since the beginning of the heart continued to grow.

These knots made it possible to gradually grasp the power and not obey the command of the central government, forming a huge local force.

When the Anshi Rebellion was put down, these feudal towns were already independent kingdoms, and the Tang court had no way to mobilize them.

So in the feudal town, the envoy was actually an emperor, everything was up to him, and no one could interfere with the military, finance, and personnel powers.

In the end, the Tang Dynasty was also destroyed by the feudal town, and it can be said that the Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of the feudal town, which is not bad at all.

"In that year, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established the Later Liang, which opened a precedent for the destruction of the central court in the feudal town."

"Since then, the feudal town has been threatening the central court, and your majesty, look at the five generations that the imperial court has been completely conquered, and it has always been threatened by the feudal town."

"Even if some feudal towns are temporarily subservient to the imperial court, but behind the scenes, it is not yin and yang, but in this way, the imperial court has no way."

"When it came to the Later Zhou Dynasty of the previous dynasty, due to the strength of Zhou Shizong and the strength of the forbidden army at that time, the power of the feudal town was temporarily suppressed by the imperial court."

Zhao Pu knew all these things that Zhao Kuangyin said, because he personally participated in some things.

For example, this abolition of the forbidden army strengthened the strength of the forbidden army, which is also the capital of Zhao Kuangyin to be the emperor in the future.

"Zhao Pu, I know what you said, and I know it very well in my heart, and now our Great Song is also facing the same problem."

It has already been said that for five generations, it has been facing the situation of separating feudal towns, and the Great Song Dynasty is naturally no exception.

How could Zhao Kuangyin not know what Zhao Pu said, he was also thoughtful, of course he knew what Zhao Pu said.

"Zhao Pu, tell me what you think, I want to hear your opinions, I believe that you must have a countermeasure in your heart, see that you are full of confidence, I know that you have reads;."

Zhao Kuangyin immediately put on a high hat for Zhao Pu, which made Zhao Pu very excited, and even the emperor praised him, can he not be happy?

"Your Majesty praised it falsely, Gao Jianchen didn't have it, but the minister did have a little idea, and if there was anything lacking, please correct it. ()”

Although I have a mature idea, I can't say that I am smarter than the emperor, if I am smarter than the emperor, will the throne be given to you?

How could such a smart person as Zhao Pu make such a mistake, just saying that he had an immature idea.

This not only allows him to smoothly explain his views, but also leaves a good impression in the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty, you also know that if the strength of the feudal town is too great, it will cause the monarch to be weak and the minister strong, and the imperial court will have no way to balance them."

"Why do these feudal towns have such a strong strength, the most important of which is military power."

This point is to the point of the problem, just like a big snake hitting seven inches and choking the seven inches of this snake.

If you think about it, these feudal envoys have guys and people in their hands, and how old are you in the court.

If we are not convinced, we will come out to fight and see who is strong, which is really no different from the Eastern Weekend New Year at that time.

"Therefore, Your Majesty, if we want to solve the problem of the feudal towns, we must first solve the military power in their hands. , these people have no military power in their hands, and most of the threat of these feudal towns has been removed. ”

As the saying goes: "Where the military power is, it will prosper, and where the military power goes, it will die." These words reveal the decisive role played by military power in the transformation of the political situation since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty.

If there is really no military power, those pairs are simply grasshoppers after the autumn, and it will not be a few days.

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he immediately thought of the issue of recovering military power that Zhao Xu had told him a few times before.

Now I have a deeper understanding, or a personal experience, or an immersive reads;.

Think about it, I was a soldier, first as a junior colonel, and finally was appreciated by Chai Rong. Slowly became the Marquis of Duyu.

In the end, he became the supreme commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace, and he would also win the hearts of the people at that time.

In addition, his prestige was indeed very high at that time, and the soldiers and officers were willing to sacrifice their lives for themselves, and they carried out their orders without compromise.

Therefore, when he jumped on the throne of the emperor in front of his palace, no one in the forbidden army objected, but on the contrary, they supported it very much.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin understands the importance of this military power best, if he did not grasp the military power at that time, I am afraid that the emperor's throne is 108,000 miles away from him.

So after he became the emperor, he did not relax the control of this forbidden army at all, and now the front of the palace is his brother Murong Yanzhao.

Other people don't want to get involved in this forbidden army at all, besides, many of the lower-level officers in the forbidden army are from Zhao Xu's forbidden army military academy, which Zhao Kuangyin is very relieved of.

This is also why he has not been in a hurry to take back the military power of those who have made the envoys of his brothers, and he feels that the forbidden army has always been in his hands.

"I also want to take back these powers, but you also know that most of these people are my brothers, and I believe they will not betray me."

I don't know if Zhao Kuangyin is sincere or what he is talking about, only he knows best in his heart.

"The ministers are not worried that they will betray Your Majesty, but if their subordinates are greedy for wealth and wealth, will they be able to take their own initiative if there are evildoers who support them?"

After saying these words, Zhao Pu knelt on the ground with a flutter, just because of what he said just now.

These words actually reminded Zhao Kuangyin to remember the incident of the Chen Qiao mutiny and avoid the recurrence of similar incidents.

Although he knew that the Chen Qiao Mutiny was not such a simple matter, because he himself was involved in it, he could not say it.

So after he reminded Zhao Kuangyin not to forget the Chen Qiao mutiny, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was cloudy, yes, they were so loyal to themselves, but if someone draped the yellow robe on their bodies, they would have no choice.

This Zhao Pu is reminding himself whether he wants to forget the matter of the yellow robe, and he will also die to remind himself of the importance of military power.

"Zhao Pu, get up, I know what you mean, so let's go on."

"Emperor Xie!" Zhao Pu thought to himself that this time he had made the right bet again.

"After Your Majesty settles the military power, and collects their elite soldiers and strong generals into the imperial court, when the time comes, the imperial court will have no threat of military power."

"But after Your Majesty takes back the military power to the imperial court, it is not easy to sit back and relax, there is one more thing that must be done."

"Huh? Is there anything else? Zhao Kuangyin also understands the benefits of taking the military power back to the imperial court, and he understands this without Zhao Pu saying this.

"Yes, Your Majesty's military power is only one of them, and you must know that the reason why the feudal town can form a climate is not only the military power that can do it."

"Military power is only one of the important reasons for the formation of feudal towns, and it is also the most important reason, but another reason that cannot be ignored is the power to pay taxes."

Each feudal town was self-taxed, which meant that their finances were independent, and as long as they controlled as much as they could, they were privately owned.

Collecting taxes from these places can ensure that they have sufficient military spending, which should have been done by the imperial court, but now that the feudal towns are replaced, how much tax can your imperial court have.

"Then Zhao Pu, what is your idea, to prevent local forces from holding these wealth, so that they don't have the capital to become bigger."

As the emperor, how could Zhao Kuangyin not know the power of this, he has been thinking about this problem, but he has no good ideas.

Now that he heard that Zhao Pu had a good idea, Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to know what kind of thing this was.

At the same time, I am also very happy that I have come to the right place tonight, and I have also obtained something I didn't expect.

In this way, it may be a good choice to promote this Zhao Pu to replace Fan Qian's position.
