Chapter 221: Father and Son 'Concentric'
"Open it up!" Zhao Ji asked Xiaohuangmen to present the northwest battle report of the Hebei Army, and Liang Shicheng, who was standing behind him, hurriedly opened it.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liang Shicheng took the sealed wooden box, carefully inspected the fire seal, and then took out a knife and carefully picked it open, and took out the battle report from it, "Your Majesty, Captain Tong sent troops in two ways, one way to capture the Cattle City, and the other way also went to Weizhou City, beheading 20,000, all of which are big victories!" He said while taking out the battle report from the wooden box, but he only heard the emperor hum, as if he didn't take it to heart, just hurriedly snatched the Hedong war report in his hand, but put the music on the face aside, leaving only the fold below.
"Alas, the Hedong war report is sent directly to the inner court, but the Shaanxi war report has to be forwarded through the Zhongshu Province and the Secretary Province, the meaning of which is self-evident, that kid was sent so far, but he still coaxed the emperor around, what a demon, this has to think of a way..."Liang Shicheng peeked at the emperor and thought,
"Father, the body is good, the queen mother is good, the brothers and sisters are all right! I'll tell you the good news, I've won another battle, and you'll be glad you do it! It's a pity that Erchen didn't think it through, and the boys under him only regarded Xiao Heda's bastard as a serious injury, and he couldn't capture it at the feet of his father. Now I have led the troops into Xiazhou City, you are not here, I can't see the scene after the war, it's really shocking, Erchen is too stupid, I can see but can't tell, the whole 50,000 Xia troops attacked the city, more than 20,000 people died, the corpses were piled up into a mountain, and the blood stained the Hongliu River... I found two treasures in the old palace in Xiazhou City. One is a five-foot-tall statue of Guanyin carved out of white jade. It is said to be an old thing left behind by Hehelianbo. There is also a big tripod, weighing seven or eight hundred catties, the inscription on it shows that it was built by the Qin Emperor, rewarded to General Meng Tian, the son asked the old people in the city, they said that it was the traitor Li Jiqian hidden, because it was too big, it was inconvenient to move, and he stayed in Xiazhou after moving the city. It's just that Erchen is clumsy and can't see the truth or falsehood. But I think it's good, I have sent someone back to the capital, and ask my father to appreciate it, if it's fake. Smash it! ”
"Hehe, what an idiot, is the great tripod of the Qin Dynasty also made by anyone, and it is collected in the old palace for generations, it must be true!" Zhao Ji said with a smile, "Shi Cheng, there are two things to be sent to the palace in Hedong recently, you keep an eye on it, and tell me as soon as you arrive!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liang Shicheng was depressed. The 'demon' didn't know what kind of demon magic Lu Dao used, and the emperor was dizzy.
"Father, the son has recently captured many states and counties, and there is a shortage of officials for a while, so he can only temporarily fill the staff of the Economic Strategy Division, and ask the father to quickly select capable officials to take up the post, so as not to miss the national affairs!" Zhao Ji sighed again after seeing it, although Tong Guan also laid some territory, but most of the officials and officials of all sizes were recommended by him, and the northwest was about to become their family. The son is not greedy for merit, he gives his subordinates a false position, and he feels uneasy, he is really a good boy, but he is still too tender. If you don't understand the way of being an official, how can you control your subordinates. Looks like I'm going to have to teach him a lesson as a father.
"Shi Cheng, the purpose!" Zhao Ji pointed to the lives of several people mentioned in his son's letter and said, "According to the letter, the imperial pen issued an edict to appoint them as substantive positions by Zhongshu, and at the same time informed Prince Yan that if there is a vacancy in the future, he will appoint them by himself, report to Zhongshu Province, and I will review them!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liang Shicheng had a smile on his face, but his heart was sad, he had the audacity to fake and arrange some people, how much effort did it take, this Prince Yan is much more powerful than himself now!
"Huh?!" Zhao Ji suddenly exclaimed in surprise, in the past, every time after the war, local officials had to complain about their hardships, asking for money and food, tax exemption and forced labor, but what the hell did his son do, saying that as long as the Yanzhou Salt Farm had the right to operate for three years, it could solve the problem, and it could also hand over some profits to the inner treasury, and add some fat powder money to the mothers and sisters in the palace. …,
"This has to be carefully considered, the northwest is barren, and the annual food and salary of Hedong, Hebei and Shaanxi are tens of millions of yuan, and they cannot be self-sufficient at all, all rely on local aid, central allocation, and sometimes they have to use their own private money in the treasury. Besides, what's so good about that place, I'll transfer him back to the capital next year, and let others clean up the mess! Zhao Ji thought about it and suppressed this matter first.
"Is this 'demon' a letter, or a story, a letter written is half a book thick, and the letters written to the emperor this year can be a foot thick, but the emperor never gets tired of reading it, sometimes he has peeked twice, the writing does not need to mention, there is no trace of literary brilliance, it is all vernacular, country slang, and most of them are trivial things, but the emperor is somehow so interested in these things!" Zhao Ji read a letter all morning, Liang Shicheng's legs were sore, and he couldn't help but resent Zhao Talai in his heart.
"Shi Cheng, although Ta'er's characters have improved, but there is still some lack of my charm, you will give him the "Thousand Character Text" written by me, let him figure it out, and go to the queen for lunch today, and bring Ta'er's letter with you!" Zhao Ji finally finished reading the letter, scooped up the battle report and glanced at it twice, "The Hedong war report is sent to Zhongshu Province, and it will be rewarded according to merit, do it as soon as possible, don't hurt the hearts of the soldiers!" ”
"According to the edict, how to deal with the affairs of the Shaanxi Army, Zhongshu Province is still waiting for the imperial approval from His Majesty!" Although Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan have always been opponents, but now in the face of the rise of Zhao Ta, they have to be vigilant, even the enemy has to help at this time, depending on the situation, only Tong Guan can compete with Zhao Ta in the Northwest Army, and for the sake of common interests, he can only reach out to help.
"Oh, let's talk about it when I see it, you go and do things first!" Zhao Ji responded, but he didn't mean to do it immediately, he called a small yellow door to change clothes and go out, leaving Liang Shicheng with a helpless face...
If Zhao Ta, who is far away in the northwest, knew what his father thought just now, he would be able to 'blind', he treated this faint monarch like this, isn't this helping to leave a stigma in the history of sin, and he will definitely be abused by future generations, this is really a shame for the majority of people!
But Zhao Tan is also helpless, this era is filial piety first, the son does not say anything about his father, if he dares to write a book to say his father's sin, not to mention that his father is the emperor, even an ordinary person has to be detained as a disobedient hat, that is a 'heinous and unforgivable' big crime, to be executed by Ling Chi, he has to do his best to save the country.
Zhao Ta told his father in the form of a family letter in every detail (of course, some things should be concealed and had to be hidden), which also has a purpose, which means that I am my father's son, and now although I am in charge of the government, I am still the good son of my father, and my father must be in charge of everything. In fact, in ancient and modern times, the more you have made meritorious contributions, the more you must be 'humble', otherwise it is very easy to attract the jealousy of your colleagues, the worry of your master, and the label of being 'proud of your merits'.
So although Zhao Ji is helpless to do this, it is also the right choice, at this time he has to hold the quilt and fart, and he knows Zhao Ji's artistic temperament, and he often handles national politics without common sense, and he doesn't know how many pieces of music are reviewed every day, the same stylistic format, the same title, sycophancy, I have long been tired of it. He has the advantage that the courtiers do not have, the emperor is his father, so he can communicate in the form of family letters, and then write letters in his own unique style, giving the emperor the feeling that his son is chatting with his father, telling him all his happiness, sorrow, and troubles, and giving his father the feeling that I have said all the small things, and of course the big things will not hide from you.
Zhao Ji is used to seeing his sons in front of him, they are well-behaved, polite, and they don't report good news or bad news, let alone say something in their hearts. Zhao Ta, an outlier, did the opposite, starting from small things, often surprising his father, while the artist is a sensual animal, of course, he was quickly attracted and moved by the family affection shown by his son, and finally put himself in the position of 'father'. …,
What does dad do, that's his son's umbrella, guide, mentor and friend, anyway, you have to be omnipotent in front of your son, and you have to be able to solve everything. You have to be angry with your son when he is bullied, you have to wipe his ass when your son gets into trouble, and you have to find a way to help solve your son's difficulties... If it were a commoner's father, it would be fine, and his ability was limited, but Zhao Ta's father was the emperor, and there were not many problems he couldn't solve in this world, so there was an extra big tree behind Zhao Ta, and it was a towering tree. So after the 'bad things' he did were reported, they were often all lost, because he had already mentioned it to his father in the letter, and obtained his father's tacit approval, and even his father's idea was in it, and opposing him was against the emperor, and the result was self-evident.
Therefore, this expedition to the west can be said to be Zhao Ta's planner, director and starring, and the producer and investor is Zhao Ji, although his son is fighting at the front desk, he feels that this battle is like he is fighting, that is a strong sense of substitution, and this immersive feeling is naturally wonderful. Tong Guan saw the opportunity quickly and participated in time, otherwise he might face the wrath of thunder, and Lao Tzu would have to take action in person!
Now looking at his son's 'achievements', Zhao Ji is of course happy, because these are all achieved under his 'support and guidance', although this achievement is a bit unexpected by him, but it has his own hard work, how can this work is also his own!
Zhao Ji and Zhao Ta's father and son were happy to play together. At this time, Cai's mansion was also jubilant, Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You, now he is also the same as Sanyi, the official residence, regarded as an envoy, and he is on an equal footing, but Cai Jing is worried, and he has the feeling of 'son can't help it'...
