Cai Jing smiled bitterly, "The official family has a lot of pomp and circumstance than me, haven't you heard the story of Renzong drinking mutton soup?" ”

Renzong drank mutton soup, of course he had heard of it. said that Renzong was hungry one night and wanted to drink a bowl of mutton soup, but he didn't tell the people around him that he was hungry all night. On the second day, the queen complained to him, and if she wanted to drink, she would let the imperial chef do it, why would she be hungry?

Renzong said, if I say, in the future, the imperial kitchen will have to kill the sheep and wait, just because I occasionally want to drink a bowl, but I have to kill the sheep every night to prepare, which is too troublesome and too wasteful.

This incident is recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty and has been passed down to this day.

Cai Jing smiled, "Think about it carefully, what does Renzong mean by that?" Just because he occasionally drank a sip of mutton soup, it was passed out to the imperial kitchen to kill the sheep every night to prepare, what does this mean? It shows that if he likes it, there must be a lot of it in the imperial kitchen, and a sheep is only for him to eat, and if he can't finish eating, he will throw it away, otherwise how can it be wasted? If he is truly benevolent, those who can't eat it will be rewarded to the palace people, or to the people, in short, it will enter the population, how can it be wasted? ”

"Besides, he is hungry, and the imperial chef in the palace doesn't have any food, why do you want to talk about mutton? Can't satisfy hunger by eating a loaf? Can't eat two eggs to satisfy hunger? Why is it mutton soup? Because bread and eggs are cheap, only mutton is expensive, so he said mutton soup, so as to show that he was frugal and benevolent. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Jing shook his head and smiled, "This is the way to be a king." ”

Wang Han also smiled, looked at the dazzling array of ingredients, and asked Cai Jing, "What should I do if I can't finish eating these?" ”

Cai Jing hehe, "With such exquisite food, where can you not finish it?" There are 800 slaves in my house, and what can I waste? And he said: "Don't blame me for being extravagant, I'm not like you, I'm still young, I have a lot to do, I only have food and drink to enjoy now, and I can't continue to be a woman." ”

This was the truth, which made Wang Han sneer, changed his face after laughing, and whispered: "From today on, you don't want to be so extravagant, you can be greedy, but you have to keep all that money for me." ”

Cai Jing bowed, "That's nature." ”

The two of them sat close to each other and talked intimately, like father and son, this behavior made everyone around him stunned and envious, even if it was Cai Jing's own son, he couldn't reach Wang Han's level. Seeing the two of them laughing happily, the youngest son in the corner muttered and complained: I have a son-in-law, and I am angry with my son.

Although the sound is small, it spreads, and this transmission is thousands of years.

Wang Han asked Cai Jing, "I want to ascend the throne, what good way do you have?" ”

Cai Jingdao: "This plate is not broken, you have no chance, the Great Song Dynasty is a literati ruling the country, and the idea of loyalty to the monarch is deep-rooted, if you want to be on the throne, you must be expected by everyone." ”

"How do you expect it?"

"When the son of heaven is a faint king, you turn the tide and save the people from fire and water, it is the expectation of the people, otherwise, even if you ascend the throne, you are a usurpation, you may have no one to oppose when you are alive, after you die, it is two words."

Wang Han was silent, "I think the same way, if I want to succeed, this country will inevitably be shattered first, and then reborn from the ashes." Thinking of this, he shook his head, this is also a helpless thing, the battle for the throne of the past dynasties must be full of corpses and rivers of blood, so that the country can be stable and spread for a long time.

The lack of bloodiness in peaceful evolution will not be long-term.

In this way, we will return to the old way, and if we want this country to break down and stand up, we must start with the reconstruction of Genyue.

Thinking of this, Wang Han sighed: Mom, the person who was most opposed to Gen Yue back then, and now he wants to support Gen Yue.

If it is not Genyue, there will be no Huashigang, and without Huashigang, it will not make the Great Song Dynasty weak, let the thieves ruin the luck of the Great Song Dynasty, and will not wait for the Jin Army to call, and the Great Song Dynasty will not be powerless to fight back.

It's fate.

……

……

When Wang Han returned, it spread in a few days, and friends and brothers from all over the world came to see him and greet him cordially, but the most important thing was where the official family wanted to worship.

Zhao Ji was also surprised that Wang Han had come back from the dead, and asked him where he had disappeared these days.

Wang Han kept outsiders away and said to Zhao Ji in private: "I went to Xuannu Fairy Mountain." ”

Zhao Ji immediately came to his senses, "What are you going to do?" ”

Wang Han was a little shy and embarrassed, "It's nothing, the Xuannu learned that the official family was building a manor in the lower realm, so she called me to go to Xianshan to play, depict the scenery, and facilitate the official family to build a garden." ”

Zhao Ji was furious and surprised, "Why is this?" ”

Wang Han said: "Or the Xuannu Niangniang already knows her brother's intentions and wants to come down to see her." ”

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, grabbed Wang Han's hand and trembled, "I knew this for a long time, I knew it was like this, since the first time I saw Xuannu, she smiled at me, I understood her mind, so I wanted to build a royal garden." He blamed Wang Han again, "It's you, you have to stop it." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ji's mind flew away, and the others didn't understand or understand. Zhao Ji has seen Xuannu with his own eyes, Xuannu's is different from mortal women, her skin is snow-white, exudes holy light, her appearance is also heroic and extraordinary, and her figure is even better, which is by no means comparable to vulgar fans in the world.

The fairy's body is so wonderful that the world can't imagine it.

Zhao Ji was anxious for a moment, and he was bored again, "Now all the officials are against my expansion of the manor, saying that Genyue is laborious and wasteful, extravagant and wasteful, and it is not the foundation of the Ming monarch." ”

While speaking, he took out his eyes and gouged out Wang Han, extremely resentful, just because he was the first to say this.

Wang Han has his own countermeasures, "What they said also makes sense, the minister thought the same way at the beginning, and only after the enlightenment of the Xuannu did he figure out the truth, there is no conflict between the construction of the manor and the prosperity of the country, and if you want to make the hundred officials submit, they will find a way to divert their attention and make the hundred officials happy." ”

Zhao Ji asked: "What is the reason?" ”

Wang Han replied: "Expanding the territory, only by expanding the territory and opening up the territory, will the officials feel the eloquence of the Son of Heaven and the foresight." ”

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, "I have this intention, now that there are people in southern Xinjiang who have taken land to surrender, if they can advance to the west and establish immortal meritorious deeds, the hundred officials naturally have no objections." ”

The acceptance of land in southern Xinjiang refers to the fact that there are natives in the border of Guangxi who took the initiative to submit to the Song Dynasty and want to annex the land into the Great Song Dynasty. But in any case, after all, it is a good thing that the territory of the country has become larger.

Only by advancing westward can the group of officials be excited, because the current opponent of the Great Song Dynasty is only the Great Liao of Western Xia, if it can be subdued, the Great Song Dynasty has a horse farm, and it will be much easier to confront the Liao State.

Zhao Ji asked Wang Han about his plan, and Wang Han said truthfully, "Large-scale steel smelting, making cannonballs, and waiting until the spring of next year, the minister will lead the army to attack, and it will definitely be like a bamboo, and the prestige of our country will be raised." At that time, if my brother reopens Genyue, there will be no one to stop him. ”

Zhao Ji frowned and disagreed, "That's what I said, but the two prime ministers are against the large-scale use of troops. ”

Wang Han said: "Bachelor Cai is radical, He Xiang is steady, and the two complement each other well. However, Zhao Xiang was short of talent and difficult to convince the public, so if the official family wanted to prosper and become strong, he went to Zhao Tingzhi and recalled Cai University. ”

This sentence only said to Zhao Ji's heart, when there was Cai Jing, his life was extremely chic and smooth, Cai Jing was not there, the whole person was like having his hands and feet cut off, and it was inconvenient to do anything.

Zhao Ji had long wanted to reset Cai Jing, but the omen of the broom star and the flooding of the capital made him dare not act rashly.

Wang Han said: "It's okay, since it is the Xuannu Niangniang's personal decree, there will definitely be no disaster, the official family just do what they want in their hearts, and other things have their own ministers to solve their worries." ”
