Chapter 57: Song Taizu's Worries
After Zhao Kuangyin returned to his own world, he found that the people, officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were still talking about Zhao Ji.
In any case, they did not expect that the emperors of the later Great Song Dynasty would be absurd to such an extent.
However, what made Zhao Kuangyin even more congested, this time there was not only one Song Dynasty Dujun on the list, but also Zhao Ji who didn't know how many ranks.
Zhao Kuangyin sat in the imperial study, and couldn't help sighing: "Those two fathers and sons are really better than the blue, but they haven't surpassed in a good direction."
Empress Xiaoming Wang, Zhao Kuangyin's second wife, after she saw Zhao Kuangyin wake up, she came to the imperial study with the porridge she had personally cooked for Zhao Kuangyin.
Wang came to Zhao Kuangyin's side with graceful steps, and said softly: "Official, come and eat something!" ”
But Zhao Kuangyin was thinking about Zhao Ji and Zhao Gou at the moment, as well as the future of the Great Song Dynasty being destroyed by the Jurchens, and he was in a very bad mood, and he had no desire to eat.
"Empress, today in the exchange space of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, I met the two emperors of the Great Song Dynasty."
Since Mount Tai is some distance from Bianliang, the content played in the video has not yet reached Bianliang.
Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked curiously, "That's good!" What did you talk about? How was our Da Song at that time? ”
It's okay that Wang didn't ask, but Zhao Kuangyin's originally ugly face turned black directly.
Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin's face was wrong, Wang quickly put away his smile and asked cautiously: "What's wrong with the official family, was the Great Song Dynasty bad at that time?"
"Bang!" After all, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but slap on the table, and he almost gritted his teeth and replied: "It's not good!" Under the toss of those two incompetent people, my Great Song is almost about to die in the country! ”
"Ahh Wang was shocked, and even couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaim.
"This time, Su Shangshen is on the list of the 'Top Ten Faint Emperors', and Zhao Ji, an emperor of my Great Song Zhao family, is the first to be on the list!"
"Top 10 Faint Emperors. And my Great Song Dynasty has two emperors on the list, which is really not good. ”
Wang pondered for a moment, and then asked Zhao Kuangyin: "This ranking also starts from the last place, right?" ”
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"That at least means that he is ranked after other emperors, and it is not too bad." Wang tried his best to comfort Zhao Kuangyin.
But Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "He is tenth, but in the eyes of all emperors, he is completely inferior to the ninth emperor in the row." ”
"Why?" The Wang family is a little confused, isn't it that the lower the ranking, the lower the level of mediocrity?
"The ninth emperor is called Zhu Youzhen, a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
"Isn't that also the king of the dead country?"
"In fact, Zhu Youzhen has backbone, ambition, and diligence, but because he doesn't know how to be a competent emperor, the Ming Dynasty gradually collapsed in his hands."
Zhao Kuangyin sighed and continued: "But Zhao Ji, he doesn't have these advantages at all, some just eat, drink, and have fun, recite poems, and even send his wife and daughter to serve the Jurchens in order to protect himself!" ”
Wang couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, "He's such a bastard!! ”
"Such a soft egg emperor, even if I want to help me, I'm afraid I won't be able to help it!"
"Isn't there any other way? Like rewarding him with some good weapons? ”
"No way!" Zhao Kuangyin categorically refused: "Rewarding him with a good weapon will only let it fall into the hands of the Jurchens, and the consequences will probably be worse!" ”
"yes." Wang also knew that there was a chance that this would be the case, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't have a good way for a while, he put the question aside for the time being, and waited for the next time he entered the communication space to ask if there would be any way for the others.
"That's it, let's put this matter aside for now, I'm a little hungry now!"
"Official, this is the meat porridge made by the concubine herself, drink it while it's hot."
After Yang Jian returned to his own world, he called Yang Guang, who had been "domesticated", to his side.
Compared with the "inferior" Yang Guang he encountered in the communication space of the Wan Dynasty, Yang Jian suddenly felt much better.
Although Yang Jian didn't speak, the expression on his face gradually softened.
Yang Guang saw that Yang Jian's face softened, so he took the initiative to speak: "Father, my son has been thinking about a problem recently. ”
Yang Jian was woken up by Yang Guang, and then asked with a smile, "What's the problem?" Let's hear it. ”
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes were divided. And these princes are almost all children of wealthy families, not to mention the monopoly of the family on the ruling class after the implementation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system in the Jin Dynasty. ”
Yang Jian, the "family gate valve", also attached great importance to and feared this group of people, so he created the imperial examination system to break the monopoly of the family gate valve on the ruling class.
"Go on!"
Yang Guang saw that his father intended to listen to his thoughts, and his heart was greatly encouraged.
"Father, the sons are pondering, this group of gate valves is a group of insects lying on the body of the Great Sui and the people to suck blood, if you don't get rid of them, it will be difficult for my Great Sui to become truly strong!"
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and asked, "How are you going to get rid of them?" ”
"Dig the canal! Or go to war! Yang Guang's tone was resolute and ruthless, and he said: "Use huge projects or wars to force them to contribute money and efforts, so as to quickly consume their strength!"
Erchen estimated that it would only take a few years to consume their money, food, and population, and when they were almost consumed, we could take the opportunity to send troops to take down this group of bloodsuckers! ”
Yang Jian said in his heart: "Sure enough! ”
Li Shimin told him that Yang Guang is also a promising monarch in a sense.
It's just that Yang Jian's actions were too direct and too eager for quick success, and he lacked protection for the people, and in the end, the wealthy family did not collapse, but dragged the people to the point that they could not survive, forcing the people of the Great Sui to rebel first.
"Your idea is good, but have you ever thought about another group of people?" Yang Jian did not directly dismiss Yang Guang's plan, but raised a question.
"Another group of people? Who? Yang Guang asked with a stunned face.
"People!"
"The people? Those mud legs??? ”
When Yang Jian heard the words "mud legs", his face suddenly changed, and he said: "Do you know the truth that 'the people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat, and the boat can also overturn the boat?!" ”
Yang Guang's face was a little pale from being frightened by Yang Jian's gaze, he lowered his head and replied, "Erchen is wrong."
"Have you forgotten the death of my Great Sui II?"
Yang Guang's face changed from pale to pale this time.
Yang Jian did not kill Yang Guang, but made him the crown prince, which made Yang Guang puzzled and at the same time had a heart eager to perform and make up.
Today, he originally wanted to show his ability in front of his father, but he accidentally angered Yang Jian.
"You can see the troubles of the family, which is the embodiment of your ability, but while dealing with the family, you can't forget the survival and interests of the people!"
Yang Guang came from a wealthy background, where did he understand the hardships of the people's lives.
In his opinion, what qualifications does that group of "mud legs" have to be compared with the family gate valve?
"'Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat' is Li Shimin's words to me, if you can't understand the truth now, I suggest you go out of this palace and go to the countryside to experience it for yourself."
