Fu Song

Chapter 53

Chapter 53
An autumn rain swept away the last trace of heat.

The highest ruler of the Song Dynasty, the current official family Zhao Suo, has basically lived in Huayang Palace since the summer, that is, Genyue, or it can be called Wansui Mountain.

Here, of course, it became the place where Zhao Suo handled the affairs of the state and summoned ministers.

Huayang Palace, in Zhao Suo's view, is his blessed land.

Strange to say, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the direct descendants of the Zhao clan have been difficult, and many babies have died prematurely, while the collateral line has bloomed and scattered leaves, and the cubs are born in a litter.To this day, the expenses of the Zhao clan have become the largest expenditure in the Song Dynasty's finances.

And the direct line, it is very miserable.

Zhao Suo didn't even have a brother.He was the only male surviving.Moreover, she has been extremely weak since she was a child, and it can be said that she grew up in a medicine jar.

At that time, in order to ensure the continuation of the throne, Zhao Suo's father followed the advice of the ministers, and adopted several children of Zhao's clan from outside to raise them in the palace since they were young, just in case Zhao Suo had anything to do with it. Unexpectedly, there will be someone in the future.

And since Zhao Suo's mother, the queen at that time brought Zhao Suo to Huayang Palace, Zhao Suo's body has been getting better and healthier every day.

And the few adopted clansmen were naturally sent back.

Therefore, since he ascended the throne, Zhao Suo has also lived in Huayang Palace for a long time.

And the difficult problem with the descendants of the Song Dynasty official family in the past dynasties seems to be solved by Zhao Suo.

The concubines and concubines in the harem gave birth to more than a dozen children for Zhao Suo one by one, and there were six male males.Among them, the king of Chu, Zhao Jing, and the king of Jing, Zhao Zhe, who came out of the queen, have now become Zhao Suo's biggest trouble.

There are fewer children, sad.

Having more children is also worrying.

And like the emperor family, the children are too good, that is also worrying.

When there is more than one excellent, it is even more worrying.

This kind of power has been held in my hand for a long time. Once I find that it will be lost from my own hands one day, it will inevitably be a little panic.Even now, Zhao Suo feels that power is being lost bit by bit from his own hands.

And this change was caused by his two sons.

Even if it is his own son, even after a hundred years, he must hand over all the power of the empire to one of them, but as long as he lives for one day, Zhao Suo will not tolerate someone to divide his power.

Therefore, he used the tactics of controlling his subjects to his two excellent sons.

Great results.

The two sons fought against Maimang for the future inheritance, and they fought hard, while he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and smiled at the changes in the court.

As long as he does not build the East Palace for a day, he can firmly hold his two sons in his hands.

Moreover, Zhao Suo also regarded this matter as a whetstone, which he used to sharpen his son.

If you don't sharpen the sword of the future king of the empire, how can you deal with the overall situation of the world?
Think of the ministers who have passed five levels and cut six generals and fought and fought from among the countless elites in the imperial court, right?Without any real ability, how can they control them, let them do their best for the empire, and work hard for the continuity of the Zhao Dynasty?

To be a king, he may not understand military affairs or financial planning, but he must understand people's hearts and know how to control different talents to serve himself.

"Don't say it, this Xiao Ding's literary talent is quite good." Zhao Suo took Xiao Ding's memorial handed over by Chen Gui, "I thought Xiao Ding was a warrior who only knew how to wield a knife to kill, and This word is also quite good.”

"Although Xiao Ding is a military general, he has also been a student since he was a child." Chen Gui said with a smile.

"Xiao Ding's reading and literacy is true, but how deep his knowledge is, I'm afraid it doesn't matter." On the other hand, the prime minister of the East House, Russell, said with a smile: "I also read the papers he wrote in the past. Baba's someone who talks about things, this memorial, I'm afraid it's not from his handwriting."

"Who else could he be?" Chen Gui asked rhetorically.

"I heard that the Xiao family has a seed for reading?" Russell laughed and said, "If this person is the ghostwriter, it makes sense."

Chen Gui said coldly: "That doesn't matter. Anyway, the military strategy mentioned in this memorial can only be written by Xiao Ding, without a very deep understanding of the Northern Xinjiang form, it is categorically impossible to write. Even if Erlang of the Xiao family is outstanding in writing this kind of thing, he cannot predict it. It is also a respect to polish up his elder brother's article and make the official family look more comfortable."

Looking at the head of the next east, west, and two palaces fighting each other, and looking like no one is happy, Zhao Suo doesn't care, isn't this the result he wants?
If the eastern and western governments are in harmony, and the military and government officials are like a family, then his official family will only be sitting on wax.

"The two Qing families don't have to argue." Zhao Suo said with a smile: "Xiao Yu is also very lucky, the two sons are both literary and military, and the older one doesn't need to be said, it is already a success. The younger one, outsiders Isn't it also rumored that it is also safe to take the jinshi exam? I read the child's article, and it is indeed very good. At that time, he really wants to be able to go to the palace, and when he walks in front of me, I will What's the harm in ordering him a top three?"

Russell's heart skipped a beat.

Since the beginning of this year, the official family has treated the Xiao family as simply as the emperor's heart.

First Xiao Yu ascended the throne, then Xiao Ding entered the court to report on his duties, promotion was inevitable, but now the official family actually said such a thing.

"The official family, this is not right!" He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Even if Erlang Xiao can get to the Wende Palace, he will eventually have to pass another level. If he is truly outstanding, the official family will order him It doesn’t matter if you are the top three or even the champion, if the officials force it, how unfair it will be to others? Moreover, the papers of the top three have to be made public, and then it will not match the truth, and Xiao Gong will inevitably be criticized!”

Being accused by Russell, Zhao Suo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiang Gong's words are serious, and I'm just a joke."

"The official family is a golden mouth, and you must never make promises!" Russell said with a stern face.

The old regulations on one side couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Jieshan, why is this necessary? In this room today, except for you and me, there is only Keming. Is it possible that the official's words will be passed on? We won't say it, Who knows?"

The Keming mentioned by Chen Gui is Zhang Chao and Zhang Keming, who is now the commander of the Fourth Army.

After listening to Chen Gui's words, Zhang Chao nodded slightly.As a military general, as the emperor's most trusted person, it is natural that he is not angry at Russell Luo's accusation of the official family.

In fact, there are two eunuchs and several palace maids in the house, but in Chen Gui's eyes, they are naturally nothing.

Russell bowed and bowed to Zhao Suo, saying that he was wrong.In his heart, he was secretly happy, what he wanted was the sentence of Chengui.With the foundation of this sentence, what the official said today will end here.

Now the official family seems to be very fond of the Xiao family. This is a political attitude, which represents a trend of the official family towards the next major policy of the imperial court. Of course, he cannot let it develop.

Contrary to Chen Gui's political attitude, Russell, the head of Dongfu, was resolutely opposed to going to war with the Northern Liaoning.

He has reached the pinnacle of his life, and he just wants to retire safely in this position as the first assistant of Dongfu.What is the benefit of cutting Liao to him?
If the imperial court really wants to decide on the northern expedition, then I'm afraid it will start preparing from now, but how long will this preparation take?Based on Russell's understanding of the Song family, it would take at least five to ten years to be confident.

In other words, as the ruling head of the Song Dynasty, in five to ten years, he will face countless troubles, violate the interests of countless people to serve this major policy, and I don’t know how many people will be offended?

And what does he get?
Five to ten years later, I will be nearly seventy years old, and no matter how good my health is, I have to retire and go to work.

Could it be that after ten years of hard work and countless enemies, he ended up making wedding clothes for others?

The Northern Expedition has failed, and others will accuse them of being unprepared.

The Northern Expedition was a success, how much credit can a former husband who made an official career have?

Why is Chen Jingsheng so keen on this?
But he is counting on him to offend too many people in the process and he can't do it in the position of the head of the East Mansion, so he can replace it.

If he was really forced to leave his post, he would be the only one who could sit at the head of the East Mansion.

Do you think he can't see clearly?
The eyes of the two husbands in the east and west collided, and both sides looked smiling, but the fire was splashing in the dark, but only the parties knew it in their hearts.

Zhao Suo was a little disappointed in his heart, but he really had the intention of making such a good story, Wenzhi and martial arts!If you can gather it all in one family, isn't it also the glory of your own official family?

But Russell's words were like a pot of cold water poured on his head, and it also made him understand that even if he was an official, he couldn't do whatever he wanted.Russell, really had the ability to stop him from doing this.

"Don't talk about it, Xiao Ding's outline is still on the point." Shaking the memorial in his hand, Zhao Suo changed the subject. "Hebei Road, Hedong Road, Shaanxi-Gansu Road, all three roads are the right solution to attack Liaoning!"

"Official family, Xiao Ding is only considering the issue from one aspect of the military family. Regardless of the other, the Shaanxi-Gansu Road alone is not a trivial matter involved." Russell shook his head.

"Yeah, Shaanxi and Gansu are not at peace, and the three roads are all at once. It is just a castle in the air." Thinking of the current situation of the Dingdi Army on the Shaanxi-Gansu Road, Zhao Suo couldn't help but cast a haze in his heart.
