Chapter 336 After the Election
It was time for the court again, and Zhao Pu felt that his head was big again, and his eyes were a little sleepy, but he was still fighting his spirits.
At this time, the courtiers stepped forward one after another, saying something important, and then there was a fierce quarrel. Except for some special circumstances, Zhao Pu rarely spoke.
The court is the stage for the courtiers, the stage for the courtiers to vent their emotions and dissatisfaction, and the stage for the king to snatch the courtiers, which is a little inauthentic.
"Minister, there is a play."
Looking at Wang Boyan who stood up, Zhao Pu nodded slightly, not taking it to heart. If there is something to play, just say it cleanly, why pause, sell it!
"Now, I have ordered the emperor to marry at the age of sixteen and set up the queen. It's just that the Jin army went south, and there were many wars, so His Majesty had no intention of caring about anything else. Now that His Majesty is twenty years old, he should get married quickly and become a queen as soon as possible. Wang Boyan said.
"Empress?" A trace of excitement flashed in Zhao Pu's heart, it turned out that he wanted to draft a draft girl, establish a big harem, and enjoy the benefits of the emperor!
Seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courtyards, that is every man's dream!
It was only after being slightly excited that Zhao Pu thought of a deeper meaning, and bad thoughts flashed rapidly in his heart.
The other person stood up again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is reconsidering." ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen reconsiders!"
"Wechen reconsideration!"
One by one, the reconsideration sounded, one after another like the waves of the sea.
Zhao Pu was surprised to find that at this moment, the opinions of the ministers of the DPRK and China were surprisingly unified, and everyone agreed in unison.
It's been a long time since there's been such a consensus.
In the past, when the DPRK and China held meetings, the ministers of the DPRK and China were always divided into several factions, quarreled constantly, and rarely agreed on the issue, but on the issue of post-election, they were surprisingly unanimous. Extremely enthusiastic.
Zhao Pu couldn't help but be depressed in his heart and said: This is to choose a woman for me, what are you excited about!
Zhao Pu wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't find a reason to refuse. This is not the 21st century, and in the 21st century, even if you are a lifelong single, there is nothing.
This is the Great Song Dynasty, this is a feudal society, and the so-called unfilial piety has three, and no queen is great. The world is big, and it is not as important as passing on the lineage.
"Quasi-play!"
Zhao Pudao.
It's just a trivial matter, at least Zhao Pu thinks so. After the court meeting, Zhao Pu was thrown aside, he was the emperor. There is a lot to be done, to train the army. Approve the cantata. Slowly advancing reforms, there are too many things to disturb the mood, but there is no time and no energy to think about some circle-and-fork problems.
Zhao Pu regarded this as a trivial matter and quickly forgot about it. However, the ministers of the DPRK and China regarded this as a major event.
Soon, the ministers moved quickly around the post-election events.
Soon this matter spread all over the world, and all the states and counties were busy selecting the beauties under their rule. This is an opportunity for these magistrates. Even if the person he nominated can't become a queen in the end, even if it's just a concubine, he will definitely be able to be taken care of, as long as he thinks that his official career is not all the way up. Therefore, all the officials spared no effort, and even went to the homes with daughters in person, of course, most of them were mainly inducements.
Of course, there are some who don't want to enter the harem, some of them are lovers who have childhood sweethearts, some are afraid of the darkness of the palace, and some are reluctant to leave their parents.
It's just that no matter whether you agree with it or oppose it, there are not too many choices, and those women to be married can only be chosen at will, like goods.
In Zhao Pu's opinion, this is just a small matter, but he forgot that the king is no trivial matter.
For a king, even the smallest thing is a big thing. Moreover, it is even more important to choose a queen from among them.
………………
After the court meeting, Qin Hui walked to Wang Boyan's mansion.
At this time, Wang Boyan retreated to the second line and stepped down from the position of prime minister, just hanging on to some positions, not in power, and it seemed that his influence was gradually fading. After losing the position of prime minister, Wang Boyan's mansion was left out in the cold a lot, and there was a feeling of people going to tea and cooling.
However, Qin Hui knew that the emperor could not do without Wang Boyan for the time being.
Wang Boyan is a little average, tends to be conservative, not a qualified prime minister, but a loyal minister, will carry out the emperor's orders to the letter, the emperor is very fond of him, the so-called Jane in the emperor's heart. As long as it is favored by the emperor, even if he has no position, he is extremely noble.
Entering the courtyard, Wang Boyan was leisurely drinking tea, without the distress of losing his official position at all.
"Wang Xianggong, how have you been doing lately?" Qin Hui smiled, but in his words, no one knew how sincere he was.
"Lord Qin's blessing, the old man has been doing well recently!" Wang Boyan also smiled, but there was mostly coldness in his smile.
His own people know their own affairs, his talents are slightly limited, he is not able to act at all, and in times of war, he can barely make do; It's just that now, His Majesty wants to forge ahead, he is no longer suitable, and he will inevitably step back from the phase.
And so it turned out!
It's just that he didn't expect that he was ousted from power by this person, and he felt uncomfortable.
"I don't know, Your Majesty appointed your lordship, what an official position!" Qin Hui asked.
Wang Boyan said: "The sports president, it's just a three-rank official!" ”
"Sports?" Qin Hui groaned, incomprehensible for a while.
Wang Boyan said: "Physical education is referred to as sports!" The emperor said, why my Great Song Dynasty is not as good as the Jin State, is that it attaches importance to ideological education and the imperial examination, but it ignores the education of the body, resulting in fragile folk customs. To revitalize our Great Song Dynasty, if you want the Northern Expedition to succeed, it is impossible to win a few battles alone; It is also impossible to produce a few famous generals and train a strong army, and the Northern Expedition will be successful. Only the whole sports and the whole people strengthen the physical education are the key to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition! ”
"The education of the body?" Qin Hui pondered these words and nodded, "Something interesting." Your Majesty's mind is always different! ‘
"This is also inevitable, the emperor's actions are often unexpected!" Wang Boyan: "The emperor said that the ultimate goal of sports is to civilize its spirit and barbarize its body!" ”
Qin Hui said: "How do you explain it?" ”
"The spirit of civilization is that all the people of the Great Song Dynasty are knowledgeable and reasonable, like humble gentlemen; Barbaric its body, that is, my Great Song Zimin's body is as strong as Zhang Fei, burly and powerful. Violence and femininity coexist, civilization and barbarism coexist. The emperor said that at this time, some of the people of the Great Song Dynasty are only morbid and beautiful, and lack healthy beauty. ”
Wang Boyan explained.
"This is the plan written by the emperor himself!"
As if to show off, as if to deter Qin Hui, Wang Boyan handed over a small notebook on the table.
Qin Hui took it, only to see that the opening page read: "Sports planning book!" ”
Judging from the handwriting, it is the emperor's own handwriting.
Qin Hui's heart moved, and in his study, there was also a booklet, which was written by the emperor himself, which was the "Construction Plan of the Bank and the Banking Regulatory Department".
The emperor doesn't like the wind and snow, he doesn't like poetry and songs, he just likes to constantly investigate, seek truth from facts, and then draw solutions from them. In addition to probing some secret information of the courtiers, they also probed some livelihood issues, such as the price of rice, how much the price has risen, how much the price has risen, how many houses in Hangzhou, and how many people have fled.
It's all such details, trivial things, that ordinary scholars don't bother to pay attention to, but His Majesty is extremely interested in them.
The emperor always said that the people are no trivial matter, and a small matter, the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people, is also a huge problem.
In this way, it took a lot of time for the emperor to write the "Plan for the Construction of Banks and Banking Regulatory Departments", from the economic situation of the Song Dynasty, to the necessity of establishing banks, as well as the influence of banks, as well as the loopholes that are prone to appear, etc., the content is detailed, practical, and operational.
50,000 words, there are no flashy words, some are just data statements, some are just detailed arguments, and there are reasonable speculations.
Originally, I thought that he was the only one, but I didn't expect Wang Boyan to have it here! (To be continued......)
PS: Update arrived. The World Cup is here, celebrate, civilize its spirit, barbarize its body, and strengthen physical exercise.
