Chapter 355: Divine Sadness
"This chair sits on me so that I am betrayed by my relatives, brothers turn against each other, and the partners who fight the world together don't even have to be friends now, only this chair is left, how sad!" Zhao Ta said with a wry smile, and at the same time slapped the throne with a snap, as if it was about to smash it before relieving his anger. He knew very well that he could not change this reality, and people thousands of years later would not be able to change it, because the connotation of this chair was too rich.
No matter what others think, in Zhao Ta's heart, this thing is a typical combination of material and spiritual. With a chair to sit on to talk or do things, this is material; Don't have a feeling when you sit on it, it's spirit. With so many benefits, everyone wants to get a chair to sit on, the dragon chair can't sit on, get a Taishi chair, the handsome seat is also good, it's really bad to have a small bench is better than standing. The number of people sitting in the chair gradually increased, and it was necessary to arrange the order, and there was a hierarchy. And rank is a kind of spirit. Sometimes there is no need for rank, there is no efficiency without rank, and no one wants to listen to your nonsense. But Zhao Ta thinks that it should not be too strict, too strict will become an obstacle, a psychological obstacle, and a work obstacle.
Things are just as Lenin said: truth is flexible, so it does not rigidize; And it's very certain, so people can fight for it. In this era, the design of seats is becoming more and more refined and detailed, leaving only rigidity and no flexibility. Needless to say, who crossed the threshold first when going to the court, who stood somewhere, who spoke first, and who went first when retreating from the court also had rules. Even if you talk about something together, you should prepare a larger chair for the leader to sit on.
Zhuangzi said: "The sage is followed by the king", and those who engage in politics must first have the virtue and strength of meritocracy. before he dared to take the throne. What is the throne? It's a chair for important things. In history, all the people who let the great people have the heart of great benevolence, and Yao let the world be in Shun; Shun let the world Yu Yu; Sun Yat-sen placed the presidency in Yuan Shikai; Washington was president for two terms and resolutely stepped aside; They are all great and benevolent people. And under the storm. Zhao Ta, the 'sage', was also pushed to the throne and sat on a big chair.
But this kind of artificial 'reverence' is even worse for Zhao Ta, the emperor. Every morning, as soon as he woke up, he was trapped in all kinds of rules, what to eat and wear, whether to walk or sit in a sedan chair, he had no right to speak in such small things, there were already ready-made rules for him to do, and in the name of everything, in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family, establish the authority of the emperor, so as to control the ministers and govern the world.
For advocating freedom. Zhao Ta, who pays attention to equality, was far away from the court when he was the prince in the past, although there were rules, he could still play a dark Chen Cang. But now he is exposed to the public, and he will be advised if he is careless, and he must not lose his manners. He also 'fought' and made a fuss, but the next day it was still the same, and the 'big chair' stood majestically opposite him, even if he was the emperor, he could not resist the majesty of the seats that enveloped him. finally turned him into a loner.
Zhao Ta felt that he had now become the noblest and most powerful prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty, living every day in the praise of merit and virtue, surrounded by those courtiers who had a straight face or laughed with him. It's the attendants who never leave. It is difficult to get out of the door once, and there are also people around him, and thousands or thousands of people are guarding along the way. Isolated from the outside world, his former brother has become the courtier he is today. Even if I wanted to get close, I was scared away by the chair under my ass......
"Don't fucking do it. Lao Tzu wants to go out! The more Zhao Ta thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help shouting loudly in the hall.
"Your Majesty's anger, Your Majesty's anger!" It didn't matter if he had such a voice, the little yellow door and the palace maids who were waiting in the palace all knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"You all go out of the road, what's wrong, you have to stay in a cage where you can't see the heavens and the earth!" Zhao Ta listened to these people's words like adding fuel to the fire, and he vented two sentences about what they were doing, can they use this, and couldn't help but shout angrily.
"Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon body!" The emperor's face was so angry that he was eggplant-colored, how dare they move, and they persuaded in unison.
"Take care of your fart, it's all out of the air, out of the air!" Zhao Tan smiled bitterly, he was so sad that the emperor was so sad, they even had to deprive themselves of the right to be unhappy, and said rudely.
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Xiao Huangmen and the palace maids were even more frightened, and when they were trembling and at a loss, someone entered the hall.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Ta raised his eyes to see, but it was his wives who came in conjunction and asked strangely.
"We heard that the Western Expeditionary Army has won a great victory, and the concubines and others have come to congratulate us!" Concubine Yu Liyan said with a smile, waving her hand to let those little yellow doors out.
"Alas, great victory, great victory, great victory every day, but which battle was fought by me, what is there to congratulate!" Zhao Ta heard this, but sighed and said sadly.
"Your Majesty, you must be annoyed that you couldn't go to the front line in person, right?" Yu Liyan understood at once and asked with a smile.
"Yes and no, this place is breathless, that rotten chair makes people lose everything, I've had enough!" Zhao Tayu said angrily.
"Your Majesty, dissipate your anger! General Gao is your courtier, and the victory he won on behalf of the king is not the same as that of your own expedition! Li Xiaoxiao took Zhao Ta's arm and said with a smile.
"Hmph, it's not a thing that belongs to your father, and one day I'll personally lead the troops to level him!" Zhao Ta said angrily.
"Okay, the concubine will accompany you, I am familiar with the mountains and rivers there, and I can help you!" Li Xiaoxiao still said with a smile.
"Alas, there is really no father and son in heaven!" Zhao Ta squinted at Li Xiaoxiao and sighed again.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong, the concubine marries into the Great Song Dynasty, she is a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, shouldn't she serve the country, but Your Majesty doesn't regard the concubine as his own family!" Li Xiaoxiao said.
"Your Majesty is talking nonsense again, hasn't the lord of Great Xia agreed to send troops to Gaochang immediately, and promised that my Great Song Dynasty will use Great Xia to transport baggage and dispatch troops!" Zhi Meiluan helped Zhao Ta sit down and said.
"It's just because he can't personally lead the troops into battle, and he is angry when he sees people winning battles outside, and then he spreads his resentment on everyone!" Zhao Xin poured the emperor a cup of tea again, put it on the table and said.
"Your Majesty, how could the wise Shenwu do this, there must be something else that makes Your Majesty angry!" Yu Liyan shook his head and said.
"My sister must have misunderstood Your Majesty, it was my father who broke the alliance and broke the contract, so that the war in Gaochang dragged on for a long time, which made His Majesty unhappy!" Li Xiaoxiao said apologetically.
"Wrong, Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous monarch, and you will never hurt your family because of these things, my sister misunderstood Your Majesty!" Zhi Meiluan shook her head.
"Yes, yes, it's the concubine who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive the concubine!" Zhao Xin hurriedly saluted when he heard this.
"Did you come to congratulate me, or did you deliberately get angry with me!" Zhao Ta was made to cry and laugh by several wives singing and harmonizing, so he could only say with a straight face.
"Of course, I came to congratulate Your Majesty, but as soon as we entered the hall, Your Majesty's nose was not a nose and his face was not a face, and he was furious, it must be the concubines and others who made His Majesty unhappy!" Yu Liyan said.
"Poof, you still say it's Daohe, but they all came empty-handed, they must be the rescuers who moved in to see Xi!" Zhao Ta smiled when he heard this, and said hatefully.
"Why is it blamed on Xiye, we met by chance in the dining room, and when it comes to the victory of the Western Expedition to fill up the dishes and prepare wine for His Majesty, everyone only knew, and naturally there was no preparation in a hurry!" Zhe Meiluan rolled her eyes, and the emperor said.
"You ......"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Gao Shuai won the North Court and played a wonderful game, can you tell us about it!" Li Xiaoxiao saw that the emperor was angry, and pulled his arm and shook it.
"Okay, but how about waiting for the food to come up?" The anger in Zhao Ta's heart was also lowered by a few people who made such a fuss, and he felt that he was also hungry, so he said helplessly.
It didn't take long, the dining room sent the wine and food into the palace, but there was no food, but according to Zhao Xin's arrangement, the long table was set up, everyone sat around and ate, and the warm atmosphere made Zhao Ta have the feeling of storytelling in the palace that day, and he also opened the conversation box with a wine glass......
Gao Pet led the troops to the North Court at the same time as the battle in Yanbo City, Gao Pet was panicked, now the city is besieged and it is winter, the news can not be transmitted to Gaochang, the capital south of the Tianshan Mountains, in fact, even if they are received, they can not cross, so that Gao Pet has enough time to play without worrying about the enemy on his back, so the battle is calm and elegant, so that the people of Gaochang feel the charm of the mighty and righteous division of the Great Song Dynasty.
When the Song army pressed the border, the father of Beiting Da Berke happened to return to heaven and mourn the city, it was said that this was a good time to attack the city, but Gao Zhong decided to give up the opportunity to attack for the time being, so that he could mourn with peace of mind. And why is he so calm? Because Gao Zhong firmly believed that Zhao Li could defeat the Western Liao army, the reinforcements could not reach Beiting City at all.
Due to the sudden arrival of the Song army, the people around Beiting flocked into the city, and the city was not prepared, and the siege lasted a little longer, and the food in the city began to be short. Beiting is also a commercial city, and the supply depends on the trade with the outside caravan, so there will inevitably be a shortage of daily necessities, and then even the firewood for cooking will be gone, resulting in high prices in the city, the poor have no food, the people are complaining, and the situation is tense.
However, Gao Zhong once again gave up the opportunity to attack the city, and shot a book to the city to tell him that he could go out of the city and go up the mountain to cut wood, and set up a market in the west of the city to allow the people in the city to trade with the outside caravan, but he was not allowed to bring weapons into the city, otherwise he would be punished by death and close the market. The generosity of the Song army won the great favor of the people of Beiting, and the hostility was greatly eliminated, but the Beiting government was worried that the Song army would take advantage of this to attack the city, and only allowed 100 people to go out of the city to trade every day, which of course made the people dissatisfied.
The siege of the city was slightly relieved, and the information was unblocked, and the news that the Western Liao army had returned from the defeat inevitably entered the city, and within two days, the Beiting knew that they had been abandoned by the Western Liao people......
