Chapter 4: Wang Jian

Zhou Ping, Tian Yi, Xu Liang, and Zheng Tu entered the imperial study and knelt down together, all of them were sincerely frightened and uneasy.

In the past, I might have been able to call myself a brother and a brother, careless. But time has passed, and Zhao Hong is already the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and among everyone, it is clear at a glance that the high and low are high and low.

"It's really not worth it to be an emperor and have all my brothers."

Zhao Hong said loudly, shaking his head helplessly.

The eagle strikes the sky, looking at everything from above, but it is lonely and lonely. Once on the throne, he is a lonely person, lonely and lonely for a lifetime.

"Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare!"

Like Jiang Wanzai and Zhen Dexiu, Zhou Ping, Tian Yi and others were also cautious and sweaty.

At this time and at that time, it is fortunate that Zhao Hong is not crowned in the main hall, otherwise these people don't know what kind of helplessness they have.

Zhao Hong shook his head secretly. There are gains and losses, and the law of conservation of energy also applies to emotional hearts.

"Tian Yi, you were originally under the jurisdiction of the weapon, but later because of an accident, you were implicated. There is no follow-up. I have appointed you today to raise the ordnance station, to be in charge of the casting of firearms, and Keri has taken office, you have no objection, right? ”

Zhao Hong looked at Tian Yi with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The important weapon of the firearms country, with Tian Yi's henchman in charge of the arsenal, he is really at ease.

"Your Majesty obeys the order, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Tian Yi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhao Hong gave him any official title, and he didn't care. He only knew that Zhao Hong would definitely not treat him badly.

"Go back and tell your daddy. As he said himself, once I ascended the throne, he would come to the front of the palace to be the head of the forbidden army. Don't pay the bills, otherwise I won't be done with him! ”

Zhao Hong laughed, and Tian Yi also smiled.

It shouldn't be difficult to get my father to come to the front of the temple.

"Zheng Tu, it's very good that you make firearms. I have given you the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Institute, assisted Tian Yi in casting firearms, and handled the errand of the Ordnance Office. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Zheng Tu with a gentle expression.

"In the future, the Ordnance Institute will be separated from the Ministry of Industry and directly under my jurisdiction. The country is in ruins, and you have to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Zheng Tu, your belly, but you have to reduce it. ”

The Zheng's Iron Mill at the foot of Huiji Mountain, as well as the craftsmen of the Iron Workshop, have been taken over by the Ministry of Works. With a talent like Zheng Tu, Zhao Hong naturally won't let it go easily.

"The minister's decree is grateful, and the minister must reduce the meat!"

Zheng Tu also knelt down, kowtowed and thanked him, trembling.

The emperor cares about himself, of course he has to lose weight.

"Get up."

Zhao Hong smiled and watched the two get up.

With these two people, he doesn't have to worry about firearms manufacturing.

Zhou Ping's heart sank, and he was very disappointed.

It seems that there is nothing to do with him today.

On the day of the palace change, he led people to hide outside the south gate of the palace city, ready to intercept and kill the soldiers who came to help them, and shed blood on the streets. Fortunately, everything is calm, although it is useless, but fortunately, the overall situation has been decided.

He has done so many things, but when he is a big vassal, he does not have the slightest reward and appointment, which really makes him a little frustrated.

"Zhou Ping, you recruit some honest and reliable people from the people, I will be of great use. This matter is related to the country's capital and must not be taken lightly. Those who misbehave, must not be indiscriminate! ”

Zhao Hong's face was solemn and solemn.

The Great Song Dynasty was greedy for ink, the officials were corrupt, and the new officials took office with three fires, and the first fire was to clarify the rule of officials. Taking advantage of the purge of the Imperial Historical Tower, no one dares to object, so let's hold up the anti-corruption stall first.

"Your Majesty obeys the order, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Zhou Ping's heart trembled, and he solemnly hugged his fists and saluted.

It seems that the emperor did not ignore him, his brother-in-law, but entrusted him with important tasks.

"Xu Liang, you are also patient and don't be impatient. Go down to assist Zhou Ping in his work. What is the future fortune of the Great Song Dynasty depends on the two of you. ”

"Your Majesty, thank you!"

Xu Liang stood up and bowed.

He is now a father of two children, not the uninhibited as a teenager. It is necessary to take into account the need to start a family and make meritorious contributions.

If there was no Zhao Hong, he might have been buried in the grass for the rest of his life.

"I have a word, you all listen to it!"

Zhao Hong was solemn, and everyone cheered up and pricked up their ears.

"If I want to change the Great Song Dynasty, I need you to shoulder the heavy responsibility and charge for me to fight for the Great Song Dynasty. I have a word first, your glory and wealth, your wife and children are all wrapped in me, you just have to do it for the country and the people, let it go. But remember that you must not be a traitor or corrupt the law. Otherwise, I will show no mercy and punish severely! ”

Everyone was solemn and knelt down together to give thanks.

There is glory and wealth, and it seems a little unreasonable to not do things at a young age.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 100,000 people in the front division of the palace and the infantry division, among which there are many Shi Miyuan's henchmen. With the plan of the ministers, it is better to transfer some of the generals and forbidden troops of the forbidden army out of Gyeonggi and break them up into various ways. The front secretary of the palace let the minister of the humerus take charge in case of accidents. ”

Zhou Ping's words made Zhao Hong's heart move.

He was already preparing to reorganize his armaments, and he just took advantage of the elimination of Shi Miyuan's henchmen to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

"Are the officers and soldiers of the front division of the palace all natives of Liangzhejiang?"

Zhao Hong asked subconsciously.

"Your Majesty, the minister and Li Tang have talked to them, the officers and soldiers in front of the palace are all sharp soldiers in the army, although most of them are from the two Zhejiang, but they must be from all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty."

Tian Yi's answer made Zhao Hong nod and have some thoughts in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has one more matter, please allow Your Majesty!"

Tian Yi smiled all over his face, and said mysteriously.

"What's the matter? Just say it's it! ”

"Your Majesty, please give an order and let Guard Li bring the sword in."

Xu Liang said stiffly.

"Sword? What sword? ”

Zhao Hongmei couldn't help but be stunned, and nodded slightly.

This guy seems to be loyal, and he has a lot of flowers.

"Guard Li, Your Majesty asked you to bring your sword in!"

Xu Liang turned his head and hurriedly shouted.

Li Tang came in, holding a simple and heavy long sword in both hands, and knelt down in front of the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, when you were in Shaoxing Iron Workshop, you asked the minister to make some short swords, and the minister specially asked the craftsmen to make this long sword. I wonder if Your Majesty likes it? ”

Tian Yi nodded and said with a hippie smile.

"Li Tang, get up! Am I still afraid that you Jing Ke will assassinate the King of Qin? ”

Zhao Hong waited for Li Tang, who was smirking, to stand up, and then turned his head to look at Xu Liang.

"Xu Liang, needless to say, this is your idea."

Tian Yi and Li Tang are both upright men, Zhou Ping can't have this thought, I think it must be Xu Liang's handiwork.

Zhao Hong waved his hand, and Li Tang hurriedly handed over the long sword.

"Your Majesty, this is really not the minister's idea. This is when the craftsman made the short sword, Zheng Yuanwai asked people to build it. He said that one day in the future, His Majesty might be able to use this imperial sword. ”

Xu Liang's words made Zhao Hong stunned again, and it took a long time before he shook his head and sighed.

"Those who understand men will always be men!"

Unexpectedly, the one who knew him best was the greasy middle-aged man with a big belly!

"The green silk is a horsetail, and the gold is a horse's head; The sword in the waist is worth more than 10 million. What a Qin King sword! ”

Zhao Hong sighed with emotion in his heart, and involuntarily chanted.

The sword is the sword of the king of Qin, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of Qin Mu Gong, the king of Qin has been standard. Qin Shi Huang used the "Qin King Sword" to kill and injure Jing Ke, making this assassination that has been passed down through the ages fall short.

Zhao Hong gently drew his long sword and looked at it.

The sword was about four feet long, simple and heavy, and obviously unusually sharp.

With the long sword in his hand, Zhao Hong felt that his heart was full of pride.

"Li Tang, you give the sword to the craftsman of the Ministry of Works, and ask him to engrave the words "Song Wang Jian" on the sword handle. I took it with me to the court after that. ”

Some things fall into place, and there is no need for him to refuse.

"Song Wang Jian", like "Qin Wang Jian", symbolizes the supreme power of the king, let him be autocratic, and help him think what he wants.

Let this "Song King Sword" give him the courage to go on a rampage.

"King Qin swept Liuhe, looking at He Xiong! Swing your sword to break the clouds, and the princes will come to the west. Your Majesty wears this "Song King Sword" to the court, which will surely inspire my subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, and work together to rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty. Xu Liang congratulates His Majesty! ”

Xu Liang bowed and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, starting from Qin Hui, passing through Han Yanxuan, and then to Shi Miyuan, the monarch is strong and weak, and the national government is disordered. His Majesty wears this "Song Wang Sword", which indicates that His Majesty will regain the monarchy and will no longer be controlled by others. My Great Song Dynasty is weak and difficult to return, and I need His Majesty's holy monarch like the First Emperor to rule the world in order to deal with the dilemma of internal and external troubles in my Great Song Dynasty! Congratulations to Your Majesty! ”

Zhou Ping also said solemnly and bowed.

"Good, good! Well said! ”

Zhao Hong couldn't help nodding again and again, and kept applauding.

These guys understand him, so to speak, to his heart.

The strong and weak king, regaining the monarchy, in a word, is in his arms.

The biggest crisis in the two Song Dynasty was not that the scholars were in power, but that the Zhao and Song monarchs were too lacking in blood and took themselves too seriously, so they fell into the cage woven by the scholars.

A king is a king, and a minister is a minister. There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, otherwise there are constraints everywhere, how can a king rule the world and run the world?

"Ladies and gentlemen, our dynasty has experienced wars and turmoil, and has also experienced many years of chaotic government, internal and external troubles, and people's livelihood has withered. I want to work hard with Zhuqing to reproduce a prosperous and powerful Great Song Dynasty, a Great Song that will not be humiliated by others and will not bow to others! ”

Zhao Hong pointed to the "Song Wang Jian", his face was solemn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today there is "Song Wang Jian" as evidence, let's work together, brothers and brothers, and fight for a strong Central Plains Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are looking forward to Your Majesty's horse!"

"The ministers are willing to share the worries of Your Majesty, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!"

Everyone said solemnly, all blushing.

Zhao Hong nodded, stood up, and walked down, as if he remembered something, and stopped.

"Dong Songchen, you passed on my will, from now on, whether it is in the title or in the documents and newspapers, the word "official" will be eliminated. I don't want to hear that again! ”

The emperor, your majesty, the son of heaven, and long live are all the meanings of the king of a country. The word official, no matter how you hear it, is a little childish, like a housekeeper in a big family. Especially when used on the unseeded kings of the "big cowardice", it is even more disgusting.

Although it is his family's words, but he is the emperor and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so he can't let him make a decision?

"I'm glad you're all here today. I have ordered someone to prepare food and drinks, let's have a good meal and drink and talk about our hearts! ”

Zhao Hong laughed and stood up.

In order to show closeness, the word "I" in his words was changed to the word "I".

Although he tried to be cordial and close the distance between the two sides. But he could also feel the awe of the crowd towards him.

Alone, maybe this is the helplessness of being an emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone bowed and thanked them again, solemnly and unusually.

"Dong Songchen, send someone to give Zhang San the official uniform and reward, and give him a good horse. Call Zhang San too, and be happy together! ”

In front of him are his own people, and he also has to rely on these henchmen, this radical clear current, to wash the turbid current, and contend with all the hostiles.

If you want to implement the new policy and get rid of the accumulated evils, how can you do it without your own henchmen?
