Song Gexing

Chapter 15 His Royal Highness the Prince who cheated his uncle
Zhao Fang was startled, stood up quickly, bowed his head and said: "Sir, don't worry, students will never fight against Dou Wu. They just think that civility cannot control military power. After all, there are too few civil servants who know military skills. Each profession has its own specialization." The only way to make a dynasty strong is to keep one's job in check."

Later generations praised Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his expansion of territory, but in the eyes of the ancients, it was different. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was raised to a throne in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

At that time, the Chinese nation was humiliated and needed an emperor who could inspire the people. This is how the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty became famous.

But in the eyes of people before the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qin was tyrannical and Emperor Wu of Han was a poor soldier. They were not good emperors.

If you look at the history books "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" written by the Han Dynasty, you will know that this old man is too bad.

Of course, Zhao Fang cannot be regarded as the next Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The pen of history is like a knife, so he still needs to pay attention to his own image.

Being scolded while alive is fine, but being scolded after death is the worst. This is also the difference between ancient people and modern people.

The ancients paid attention to posthumous fame, so most people dare not be too shameless, which also ensures the overall moral level.

Later generations pay attention to the name in life, and naturally there is no bottom line for the purpose, and it is inevitable for the whole society to be shameless.

"It is a national policy to use civil society to control military force. Big brother wants to change it, but do you know how difficult it will be in the future?"

Chen Yaozuo has seen through the world and understands that this is wrong, but understanding is one thing, having the courage to do it is another, so he can only ask with a sigh.

In fact, it was not that there were no civil servants in the Northern Song Dynasty who questioned this point. Later Bao Zheng pointed out to Renzong that military generals did not know the harm of soldiers, but the resistance was too great and could not be changed.

"Sir, a sage knows what he can't do, so he becomes a sage. Students don't dare to stand up to a sage, but shouldn't they pursue a sage?"

Zhao Fang did not give up, looked at Chen Yaozuo and asked seriously.

Chen Yaozuo sighed and replied: "The saint is in the wilderness, but the eldest brother is in the court!"

Then he explained: "What the saint does is knowledge, and the elder brother will be the emperor in the future. They are two different paths. The saint can persist, but he will only suffer hardships, but the elder brother will not only endure hardships, but also death." We have to be cautious about the danger of the country being destroyed!"

After hearing this, Zhao Fang's eyes turned red. This teacher of his was telling his heart. This was no longer something a teacher could consider for his students, but something as far-reaching as a loving father.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Fang bowed deeply and said firmly: "For the sake of the Song Dynasty, students have no hesitation. Please do it, sir!"

Chen Yaozuo looked at him intently, and after a long time he said: "In that case, I will give you a ride, but remember, the journey is difficult and you can only take one step at a time. Don't be overjoyed or sad, and let the victory go to your head."

"Thank you for your teacher's teaching. The students will remember it."

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Yaozuo wrote to the court to protect Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun, and proposed that leaving generals idle after the war would destabilize the morale of the northwest army and cause disputes between the DPRK and China.

Because of this, Chen Yaozuo was impeached. It was arrogance for a prime minister who had already retired to interfere in government affairs, but after all, he was a big boss and his disciples had old friends all over the world, so he could not be punished.

On the contrary, his suggestion was finally supported by most people. Liu and Shi were re-appointed, Shi Yuansun returned to the Western Army, and Liu Ping went to Xiongzhou to defend the Khitan.

"Is that you, the eldest brother? Mr. Chen doesn't care about world affairs. You are the only one who can interfere in this matter."

Two days later in the evening, Zhao Zhen came to Zhao Fang and said helplessly and angrily.

Zhao Fang looked confused and asked in surprise: "Why can't my son understand what dad said?"

"Little hozen! You're the only one who knows how to make trouble, and you want to hide it from your father, right?"

"No way, my son is busy studying and practicing martial arts all day long, so he has no time to care about other things."

"Really? Then who is the envoy of Daliao who questioned Daliao in the street? Who is the one who asked the Imperial City Secretary to check Lu Qing?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Fang immediately changed his face, pulled Zhao Zhen's hand shyly and shook it .

Sure enough, this method was tried and tested, and Zhao Zhen had no choice but to let the matter go and asked him lovingly about his knowledge.

That's right, fathers in this world are basically unable to resist their young children acting like a baby, not to mention he is a gentle father.

A few days later, there was a ten-year-old boy by Zhao Fang's side. He was not a little eunuch, but his companion. It was Liu Ping's grandson Liu Jisun.

In the blink of an eye, in the second year, Lu Zhailang resigned from his job, but as a small official, he would not receive any attention at all.

Although Zhao Fang had already told people to keep an eye on him, it was only two days after he went south that the news came, and he was so angry that he kicked Wang Zhongzheng twice.

"Immediately, immediately send people south to keep an eye on him to see if he has done anything bad. If he does, he will be captured and escorted back."

Wang Zhongzheng scratched the back of his head, with a puzzled look in his eyes. He didn't want to obey orders but didn't dare to object. He muttered, "A big man knows how to give orders." He was stunned by his glare.

"Then, who should we send? It's not a good idea to find my godfather. The officials will know."

The helpless Wang Zhongzheng had no choice but to ask questions. After all, they had no power, so it was a bit troublesome to use other people's people.

Only then did Zhao Fang feel that he needed a justifiable right. The Song Dynasty had strict restrictions on the royal family, even the princes.

After scratching his head and turning around for a few times, Zhao Fang made a decision immediately: "Go to the Imperial City Division to find my uncle, and tell me that I want a staff in the Imperial City Division. You can't tell my father. I want him to give it to me immediately, or I will go to the Eighth Route Army." My uncle cried and said that he did not recognize me as his nephew."

Wang Zhongzheng was stunned, looking at him dumbfounded and saying: "Is this... is it really okay to frame him like this?"

"Don't worry about whether it's good or not, as long as it works."

Seeing his arrogant look, Wang Zhongzheng gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother is shameless, I will take note of it."

"Xiao Zhengzi!"

Wang Zhongzheng did not dare to look back after running away in a hurry. He hurriedly went to get things done and prayed that the eldest prince would forget what he had just said.

He was very upset now. Ever since he was often with Zhao Fang, he had influenced him to speak freely. If he forgets his taboo in front of others, his head will fall off many times.

"But the eldest prince is really kind. Although he is not as kind as the officials, he is truly kind to his own people!"

Sighing secretly, Wang Zhongzheng rushed to the Imperial City Division and found Cao Quan, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division. After finishing his words without missing a word, he carefully lowered his head and peeked at Cao Quan.

Cao Quan became angry, stared at him and asked, "You are Ambassador Lu's godson, right? You can just ask your godfather for this matter. Why are you asking me?"

Wang Zhongzheng immediately replied with a sad face: "Godfather dare not lie to the officials, villains dare not look for him!"

"He doesn't dare to hide it, how dare I?"

"This... Anyway, the eldest brother explained the villain like this. He said that it is only natural for a nephew to find an uncle."

"Bastard!"

Cao Quan raised his foot angrily and was about to give him a kick. After thinking about it, he decided to let it go. He gave a helpless smile and said, "I owe him. Come in, grab your things and get out of here!"
