Zhao Guanjia said that it didn't matter whether Liu and Ma were willing or not, and ordered the palace people on duty at night to put some dumplings on Zhai Biao and Xin Wenyu, and Tangyuan used supper together, and said: "It's not good not to drink alcohol on Chinese New Year's Eve, just drink less and don't get drunk and make mistakes." After speaking, I got a little bit, saying that it was brought by the edge of the West Lake in Hangzhou, and I don't know if it's true or not.

Zhao Jiu had a drink with the two of them first, and suddenly sighed: "Yan Xiu is better, Zichong (Ma Kuozi) has been an envoy to the Jin Kingdom since thirteen years ago, except for last year, I haven't celebrated the New Year with my family!" The old lady in the family is only afraid of complaining. ”

It is implied here that there was actually no princess in the Song Dynasty, and the prince was called the lady of the country. For example, Zhao Jiu's original unlucky wife, even if she is Concubine Kang, the official title is Mrs. Jiaguo. Zhao Jiu has always been a willful, and the eighteenth queen of feudal Yan also wants to give someone an eighteen princess, after all, the education he received in his previous life is half of my military merit medal, but the resistance is too great, and he feels that it is unnecessary to make trouble about this matter, so he will make the mother of the eighteen kings the princess, and the ministers are not good enough to oppose it. But unfortunately, after an inspection, it was found that only Yue Fei and Ma Kuo and Wu Jue and his own mother were still alive. It is the Great Song Dynasty that currently only has the concubine of Wei, the concubine of Korea and the concubine of Xing.

Rao is Ma Kuo has suffered all these years, and he really couldn't hold back his tears when he heard this, saying that he would abandon his family to resist the war, but if it was time to do it, which one could do it, "Parents don't care, let alone son and wife?" Not to mention that Ma Kuo has been hanging in the north for more than ten years, facing enemies on all sides, and the betrayal and difficulties he has experienced are far from what the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty can imagine, and when Zhao Guanjia Jianyan saw him at the end of the sixth year, he could see that his psychological pressure was too great, and it seemed that he still regarded Zhao Guanjia and the Manchu Dynasty as the state of Jingkang, the so-called surface is magnificent, and the inside is unbearable, only the decency and the shelf are the largest, regardless of the actual situation ahead. After the Taihang Mountain Righteous Army returned, he was too careful for fear that these heroic heroes who died in their lives would not be treated by the regular army, so he was careful to behave.

However, Liu Ziyu is the one who is the prime minister, and he has heard too much from the three words "old lady", his face is full of disbelief, he thought for a long time, and said tentatively: "Official, Mo is not, Mo doesn't have any clues?" ”

"Naturally, there is, but for the time being, the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed. Today's festive season, we have a rare gathering, in fact, I also have a stomach to say. ”

What can Liu Ziyu do, so he had to say: "Please also ask the official family for advice?" ”

"Teach what? I asked Ziyu, do you know where this palace was originally? ”

Who doesn't know this, if it is according to Liu Ziyu's previous temper, he has to ask the official family three questions first, but now he doesn't dare to do it, just said: "This place was originally called Xingqing Palace, which was originally the residence of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji when he was a vassal king, and after Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, it was expanded on a large scale and became the palace of the lord of Chang'an City." Kaiyuan and Tianbao can be called the center of the Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji became the emperor, and Xingqing Palace became his retirement place, which was slowly abandoned. ”

Zhao Jiu sighed and took a sip of cold wine, so frightened that Feng Yi hurriedly gave him warm wine, but he said to himself: "Yes, I thought that Li Longji was only lazy in pleasure after he was old, and forcibly snatched his daughter-in-law. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he moved several brothers to the west and north of Xingqingfang, and changed the whole of Xingqingfang to Xingqing Palace. Later, Xingqing Palace was built into a court hall and the scope was expanded, and the southern half of Yongjiafang on the north side and the eastern half of Shengyefang on the west side were incorporated. In the twentieth year of Kaiyuan, a clamp city was added to the east wall of Waiguo City, so that the royal family could directly communicate with Daming Palace and Qujiang Pond from Xingqing Palace. It's really always enjoyable. It can be seen that no one has changed from light to dark all at once, but under the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the people who worked hard in the construction were also covered. When Tianbao Hu soldiers fell into Liangjing, it was time to settle the account. ”

After all, Ma Kuo didn't have much contact with Zhao Jiu, so he just nodded "yes". Liu Ziyu has some premonitions for many years, but he is not an old friend and boss Zhang Jun who will flatter the official family, and he has goods in his stomach but can't pour them out.

Zhai Biao, who shouldn't have spoken on the side, said: "In that case, Tang Xuanzong finally made a rebellion in Anshi, and he can't complain about Yang Guifei." ”

Zhao Jiu Yile said with a little wine: "Zhai Xiaojiu, no wonder I deliberately put you out as a deputy commander, but your father is always unhappy, he really loves his son, you better take it with me." ”

Zhai Biao touched his nose, didn't dare to speak anymore, and didn't dare to tell the official family, he was not unwilling to let go, it was his father who didn't agree, what did he say about the prime minister's concierge seven-grade official, not to mention the direct commander of the official family's imperial class, if he dared to leave, he wouldn't come back.

Besides, the official family, don't you often say that I can't even read words well if I don't study well?

Zhao Jiu smiled, but he found a pot of Hangzhou wine smelling on the stove from behind him, motioned to Feng Yi to put a few clean cups, and took advantage of the situation to bring it directly, and then poured himself a cup, and turned around to the two important ministers, ate some fruit, and said: "I don't say this, it's not that I have to decide right or wrong for the Anshi Rebellion, nor do I want to use this to ridicule the abuse of people's power like Emperor Taishang Daojun again, and make an even more absurd Jingkang Rebellion." It's introspection, at least for now, for the emperor, the lord of the world, if you can't always be vigilant, there is the humility of Tang Taizong, the benevolence and self-discipline of Emperor Wen of Han, even if you are a little cheered up when you are young, you will be devastated and bleeding when you are old. Now it is me who is the emperor, the two Qing family, after the Northern Expedition, I am afraid in the end, and I am also adrift! ”

These words made everyone stunned, Liu Ziyu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why did you say this, you have been on the throne for 12 years, lying on the salary and tasting gall, mulberry tree fish pond." Not to mention before, after the victory of the Northern Expedition, the people were not taxed, and the second was not large-scale construction. The minister heard that it was Hu Xianggong and Chen Xianggong who were building a new capital, and they were both overstretched, and there was a little bit of Li Longji's extravagance. Although criticizing the two saints is about to become politically correct, Liu Xianggong thinks that after all, he has been a courtier of the Taishang Daojun, and he has a target that immediately shifts the comparison.

Ma Kuo also said sincerely: "The official family is indeed too humble, you told the minister before that you prepared the mansion, but when I went back to Tokyo to see that it was actually opened up by Yanfu Palace Jingyuan, not only that, the huge palace, you have allocated it to Wu Xue to honor the queen mother, if this is still careless, how many emperors should be ashamed to death." ”

Zhao Jiu shook his head, and said sincerely: "What the minister said is erratic, not in the form, but in my heart. Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, this time, this and that sin, isn't the biggest sin mine? It was my idea to train the field army, and Liu Xianggong allowed them to operate in Fengxiang Mansion for a generation, and I also allowed Chang'an to supply them, but that day's incident, if it wasn't for my temper for a while, Yang Yizhong listened to Yang Yizhong's duty for a day, with his caution, how could he not make such a disturbance, and our monarchs and ministers would be embarrassed together! ”

Liu Ziyu and Ma Kuo were stunned, and their eyes moistened almost at the same time, and Ma Kuo immediately knelt down and cried: "Official, it's not like this......"

"Well, it doesn't have to be that way, I'm also a human being, and human beings make mistakes. In the past, I often thought that the Great Song Dynasty guarded the internal and external void, and the imperial history restrained the prime minister, and the prime minister managed the imperial court, but who really restrained the emperor? So I trembled for ten years, and I didn't dare to make mistakes, so that before the Northern Expedition, you more or less heard some rumors, I was once afraid, and I had to thank the third prince on the other side for dying so coincidentally, I was worried about putting down my strength to send troops, and when I won the battle, I was afraid that the hero would not die well in the future, if it weren't for Hu Mingzhong's timely advice, I almost laughed and was generous, which chilled everyone's hearts. In the past few days, I feel extremely embarrassed, and at the same time, I am also thinking about why it has become like this, obviously the situation is very good! Zhao Guan's family snorted with wine, as if he was really drunk.

Liu Ziyu also sat down and knelt down, gritted his teeth and said: "Official, although I don't know as much about the righteous army as King Xing, but I dare to guarantee my life, whether it is Shao Long or Liang Xing, although recklessness is not a thing without a king and a father, if no one makes trouble or even provokes, I will definitely not practice martial arts in Lishan when you are about to enter Chang'an, if Yang is not able to control people for a while, I am willing to judge these thieves for you!" "Ma Kuo was stunned, I know you have this ability, old rival, but we have to avoid suspicion!

"Yan Xiu doesn't have to be like this, I also want to get what you said, and Yang Yizhong can find out sooner or later. But this is just a small story, and what I want to say is that I seem to have taken a wrong path in the past two years. ”

Yes, Zhao Guanjia looked like a drunken cat, but at this moment it was extremely clear, under the moonlight of Chang'an, in the old palace of the Tang Dynasty, he asked himself: Should the Yellow River be governed?

The answer is yes, of course.

Does that require you, an emperor who doesn't know anything about water affairs, to keep an eye on it from beginning to end?

The answer is no.

Yes, he is not arrogant, but as a supernumerary genius, just like Lu Haoyi commented on Han Shizhong and others back then, he is afraid. I am afraid that I can't keep the friendship between the monarch and the minister, I am afraid of how to govern, I am afraid of how to suffer the devastated land and small people in Shangbei, and I am afraid of how to explain to the southeast Bashu that we will wait for the northeast to stabilize before reducing taxes...... In the final analysis, it is still the pain caused by the fact that Mingdao Palace has had to take on the responsibility of the world since he came out of the well, he was originally just an engineering dog who graduated from college and was ready to enter the society!

But said a thousand ways and ten thousand, isn't he already an emperor? In this era when there are still more than 600 years before the emergence of a constitutional monarchy, an emperor with great prestige, no matter how afraid he is, can you escape some things?

Doesn't the Cabinet-Secret Pavilion system need to be maintained? The contradictions between the civil and military generals do not need to be adjusted? The counterattack of the old forces is gone? Even a little smaller, the division of powers and responsibilities of the rebel army into a field army and the position of the former army commander once Yue Fei was promoted to the imperial camp? Except for your Zhao official family, can anyone else do these things for you!
