Chapter 176: Rage?
The stiffness was only for a moment, and in the next second, Zhao Duan's movements returned to normal, but the smile on his face gradually converged.
He poured himself a cup of tea, picked it up, gently blew the tea foam on the water, and took a sip, Zhao Duan's face was calm as if he was just telling a normal thing.
"You are no longer young, you should grow up, and you should know that by this time, we will no longer be interested in personal honor and disgrace, but only interests.
Today's incident, I admit that I really can't stand you, and I took advantage of this matter to force Ding Nie to hand over some of the military power.
But you have nothing to lose.
The horse has also been retrieved for you, so why bother with it?
And afterwards, I'm sure I'll do you a favor, right? ”
Zhao Jun still had a cold face: "Wang Banban was beaten." ”
Zhao Duan's face was unusually calm: "It's just a slave, if you beat it, you will be beaten, and if you can use it to get back part of the military power to the Heavenly Family, he can be regarded as meritorious."
When the time comes, he will be compensated for the position of the guard. ”
Zhao Jun's fists clenched violently, gritted his teeth and said, "He's my person!" ”
"So what?"
Zhao Duan sneered.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jun's originally angry face suddenly became calm, and he looked at Zhao Duan with a trace of pity on his face:
"You are so pitiful as an emperor!"
Just one sentence, just ten words, but Emperor Song, who had always maintained his calmness, was instantly annoyed!
"Presumptuous!"
The white teacup was smashed to the ground with a clattering sound, and it was broken all over the ground.
The hot tea splashed everywhere, but the people who were burned did not react at all.
The surrounding palace people quietly didn't know where they had retreated, and now only the father and son were left in the Funing Palace.
The lights flickered, reflecting on their faces, making their faces flicker and darken.
It's just different from just now, the face of the angry person just now has become calm, and the person who was calm just now is now extremely angry!
"What? You can't stand it if I just told the truth? Hehe......"
Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Duan with sarcasm, he is a cheap emperor Laozi!
Zhao Duan took a few deep breaths, his face was gloomy and scary, stared at Zhao Junliang for a long time and said slowly: "
Don't think that I won't punish you just because you're the prince, everything you have now is what I gave you!
Your identity, your body, everything you have is given to you by Me.
And you have nothing, why do you say that I am pitiful here!
What do you know?
I took the helm of the artifact at the age of a weak crown, and at the beginning of my succession, the domestic situation was turbulent, and the careerists were ready to move!
There is a civil official group inside that is almost in the air, and there are soldiers in charge of the door outside!
There is a Tatar threat in the north around the Great Song Dynasty, there are Tusi in the south from time to time, and the Xiongnu in the northwest invade from time to time, and the entire northwest region of the Great Song Dynasty is used as a granary!
The southeast Japanese invaded continuously, and from time to time, several more counties were sacked by the Japanese invaders, and the people in the city were slaughtered!
It can be said that there is a lot of danger!
And I!
Vertical and horizontal, balance the court, show the enemy to regain some of the military power with weakness, let the imperial uncle sit in the northwest to deter the Huns, and free up my hands to clean up the domestic chaos.
In just three years, I have allowed the already battered Great Song to regain a foothold, and all threats have been contained.
In five years, I have weakened the civilian-bureaucratic clique that was almost an empty court to the point where it can only compete with the generals.
Now, twenty years later, although the threat is still there, it has kept me in a safe balance, and most of the people are able to live and work in peace!
And to be able to do this, do you think you can just touch the skin of your mouth?
If you become a big person, what is personal honor and disgrace, only by letting go of it and looking at the most fundamental interests, so that you can achieve the goal you want, and this, what's wrong?! ”
Zhao Duan stared at Zhao Jun and asked sharply.
Zhao Jun shook his head:
"So what? What I saw was just an incompetent person tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, and barely moving a broken ship that was originally leaking everywhere.
It's better not to have such a ship, just rebuild it!
You are the Emperor!
And I'm the Prince!
Now the courtiers have beaten me, the prince, and robbed me of the prince's horse, but in the end they have only handed over part of the benefits to be exempt from punishment.
What, then, is it different from the money of atonement?
And in history, all the dynasties where the silver of atonement appeared were at the end of the dynasty, when the royal majesty was gone!
This represents the absence of the mystery of the royal family, and the majesty of the law that it represents!
If everyone can get away with the money of atonement, then everyone will know the law and break the law to earn more money and more benefits, anyway, they can use the money to get out in the end, no matter how it is calculated!
At such a level, can there be any future for the imperial court? ”
Zhao Duan's face froze.
Zhao Jun just looked at him quietly.
Having said that, Zhao Jun just found a reasonable excuse to refute him, in fact, he was angry that Ding Nie beat his people and robbed his horse, and in the end, he didn't have anything to do with just paying benefits!
This made him very unhappy, very unhappy!
And Zhao Duan also seemed to be motionless as if he was in deep thought because of Zhao Jun's words.
Half-ringing, he sat back in his seat and said indifferently: "What can I do?" This is already the best result. ”
"The Ding family directly or indirectly affected nearly half of the army of the Great Song Dynasty, if I dispose of Ding Nie at will, the Ding family will fight back, and it is not the people of the world who suffer?
Now it is the best choice to weaken the power of the Ding family in the army, I! What else?
And how?! ”
"So the Ding family, what can you do with him?"
Zhao Jun asked.
"This is already the limit at the moment!"
Zhao Duan snorted.
"Then I'll do it myself!"
Zhao Jun said coldly.
Zhao Duan was shocked, looked up at the sixth son violently, and shouted: "Don't do something excessive, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!" As long as the Ding family has the power of the army in hand for one day, they don't have so many scruples! ”
Zhao Jun sneered when he heard this: "Don't do anything excessive?" The king knows. ”
After that, without waiting for Zhao Duan to say anything, he turned around and left Funing Palace.
After Zhao Jun left, Cao Shuang came over with a worried face: "Your Majesty, Lord Yun ...... him"
Zhao Duan raised his hand, looking at the direction where Zhao Jun left with a faint gaze, and all the expressions on his face just now had disappeared and regained his calm.
With a wave of his hand, Cao Shuang understood, and immediately asked someone to bring another cup of hot tea.
And quickly let people clean up the porcelain pieces and tea on the ground.
But Zhao Duan just silently held the teacup, ignoring the hot tea, and took a sip by himself.
In his heart, he was thinking about the news that the Imperial City Division had reported back.
His sixth son is not simple.
Since eight years ago, the Imperial City Division has reported that there is an extra secret force in the capital, and at first he thought it was a spy force.
But he couldn't find a clue, and with his sixth son taking over six years ago, the forces active in the shadows of the capital fell silent.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to it.
But with his return to Beijing, this force actually showed signs of activity again......
Just take a look, take a good look......
