The heavens begin with the bright sword

Chapter 166 Ichthyosaur Gang

Su Shi once again left the capital, and the old and new parties celebrated each other, happy to hear and see.

Although Zhao Xu is young, he still remembers these expressions in his heart.

"Mr. Dongpo is a great talent, and the world can't stand it." Zhao Xu, who was young, had already begun to worry about the country and the people, and said to Zhang Xiu solemnly: "I want to take this as a warning. After I take office, I will definitely not Tolerate partisanship in court."

Ideals are full, but above the court, party disputes cannot be cut off.

Unless those ministers are all emotional machines, and the emperor alone can handle all government affairs in an orderly manner. I don't know if it will be possible in the future, but at this stage this is indeed an unrealistic idea.

However, the "children"'s thinking is inevitably extreme, even Zhao Xu, who is extremely intelligent, can't help but dig into the horns.

Because Su Shi was "hammered by thousands of people", he thought that those who hammered Su Shi were all bad guys and recorded all their names in the booklet, which can be described as "simple in the emperor's heart".

After seeing it, Zhang Xiu smiled helplessly. It’s okay for the older ones, and I don’t think Zhao Xu will live to be in charge. But their family descendants, students, and the main force who “persecuted” Su Shi probably only last seven or eight years. It's time to jump, Da Song Law. There should be a rule that the emperor will be in charge after he reaches adulthood, right?

After Zhao Xu takes office, if this group of people has no special covetousness, the future is likely to be bleak. Seeing that the little emperor is holding back his energy now, it is very likely that this group of people will also be exiled.

Maybe it's because I think about things more comprehensively after I become an adult, and I know the priorities, so I won't kill the gang as soon as I take the stage. But it is basically certain that there will be no good end.Zhao Xu is an extremely assertive little emperor.

Su Shi chose to leave at this time, probably because he felt that although Zhao Xu loved his talent and learning, and was willing to ask him sincerely, but in terms of truly governing the country and the people, what he could teach him was actually very limited. Xiao Zhang Tianshi He once said that if you don't go to the grassroots, you don't know the suffering, and you don't talk about civil affairs.

What do people really need?
It is nothing more than food and clothing, which is the simplest request for a person to live in the world.

But why is it such a simple appeal that all dynasties have not been able to satisfy them?
Su Shi felt that if he wanted to really understand this point, and assist Zhao Xu to achieve great things in the future, he had to go to the folks in person. For this reason, he decided to hide his name, abandon Su Shi's identity, and use the pseudonym Li Huaishu to start from the Imperial Boxing Gym in the capital. Zhou Tong borrowed the two half-children as bodyguards, pretending to be grandparents and grandchildren to travel the rivers and lakes together.

Lu Junyi and Lin Chong are Zhou Tong's disciples, and they can be regarded as young and successful. Many teachers in the Imperial Boxing Gym in the capital are no longer their opponents. What they lack is the experience of the world. It just so happens that Su Shi is a first-class veteran. Also complementary.

When Su Shi bid farewell to him as Li Huaishu, his expression was very exciting. Since he came here, he has been inquiring in many ways, trying to find the whereabouts of "Li Huaimou", but unfortunately he found nothing. He thought that his strongest support would be "" Offline", but I never expected. Boss Su, it's you with thick eyebrows and big eyes!

"Why did you choose that name?"

"I just thought of one at random, and there is no metaphor."

Zhang Xiu:.
Three years.

Time flies, three years in a blink of an eye.

The transformation of the little emperor has basically been completed. In the age group that is likely to affect a "child"'s future personality, Zhang Xiu was fortunate to become Zhao Xu's teacher, and used modern education methods to pass some "advanced concepts" through some special methods. method, to pass it on to Zhao Xu.

Of course, the most talked about is the art of war, after all, only this is the one I am most familiar with.

"Chen's Art of War", first, emphasizes lure and ambush, and then plunders the enemy, and if he does not move, it will be a blockbuster;
Some "classic cases" also made the little emperor's blood boil with enthusiasm, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to practice it, which made the little emperor secretly think that it's a pity that he no longer wants to go to the imperial conquest after taking charge of the government.

Zhang Xiu has always believed that whether an emperor can really have the final say depends on his military accomplishments and his control over the army. Throughout history, those emperors who can be famous in history are almost all fought on the battlefield of.

Zhao Xu didn't need Zhang Xiu's deliberate guidance at all, he had long been eyeing Xixia and Khitan.

In addition, Zhao Xu "recruited" many people of the same age as the Son of Heaven's army. In fact, most of them were orphans that Su Shi met during his travels in the rivers and lakes. A total of three thousand people.

It can be said that he is loyal to Zhao Xu.

Although the ministers in power put forward objections, the little emperor went mad in front of the palace that day, scolding all the ministers for their incompetence, saying that these children are orphans and are just a drop in the ocean. I am the Son of Heaven, the father of all people. They have no parents. Their parents, they have no home, my home is their home, you old people, if you have time to teach me here, why don't you go and see how many such fatherless orphans there are in this world!

I entrust this world to you to manage, just to let you manage their families to ruin!

After scolding, he flung his sleeves and left. It was the happiest day since becoming emperor.

The little emperor who was always obedient, suddenly opened up all his firepower, and suppressed some old officials. Then he thought, the little emperor probably only has 3 minutes of heat, and besides, only three thousand urchins, what big things can he accomplish?
But all the ministers wrote to the Empress Dowager Gao one after another, impeaching Zhang Xiu, the little celestial master of Longhu Mountain, for bewitching the emperor and not doing his job properly, please behead him.

Empress Dowager Gao knew very well that the little emperor had already held a grudge against these adults by running Su Shi away. If Zhang Xiu is dealt with again, after Bengong's death, you will really be immortals.

In the future, whenever the little emperor did something out of line, all the ministers asked for orders to behead Zhang Xiu's head.

But later on, the little emperor didn't go too far, and the "vigorous" emperor's pro-army has remained at a few thousand, with some coming in and some going out.

However, there is a gang of fish and dragons in the Jianghu. It is rumored that although the leader of the gang, Li Huaishu, does not have any martial arts skills, he has attracted many heroes from all over the world, and many of them are martial arts masters.The two envoys on the left and right under his command, the four great dharma kings, are all first-class heroes in the world.

Obviously, the Three Thousand Heavenly Sons' army is the team prepared by Zhang Xiu for the little emperor, and the Yulong Gang is Su Shi's eyes and ears for Zhao Xu in the Jianghu.

The three thousand sons of heaven are close to the army, practice martial arts with the little emperor, and occasionally eat and sleep together. They are devoted and loyal to the little emperor. Zhang Xiu not only taught them martial arts in person, but also specially studied a set of martial arts for them. Combined attack formation, if the little emperor really wants to personally conquer in the future, even if he can't win with these 3000 people, if he loses, he can save his life to the maximum extent.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty was rich!

At least he is much richer than Emperor Hongzhi.

As for the Yulong Gang, Dongfang Bubai fought thirty rounds with Qiao Feng, the head of the beggar gang, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop; Although the Dafa King's reputation is slightly inferior, he should not be underestimated.

Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult who has not yet rebelled far in the south of the Yangtze River, heard about the Yulong Gang, and said with a smile: "Are they imitating our Ming Cult?"

Obviously, Dongfang Bubai means Dongfang Bubai and Dugu Qiubai. It is entirely because Yue Lingshan felt that her name was not aggressive enough to be compared with Dongfang Bubai, so she borrowed the name of Dugu Qiubai on her own initiative.

As for how the two of them got involved with Su Shi's Fish and Dragon Gang, it was obviously through Zhang Xiu's relationship.The two of them supported Su Shi in the Yulong Gang, which was naturally Zhang Xiu's gesture. Ning Zhongze, who was tired of the disputes between the rivers and lakes, lived in a hut in Huashan after returning from Xixia, and seriously practiced and polished "Zixia Magic Art".

"Teacher, are you leaving too?" Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Xiu with a lot of reluctance. This group of veterans of the old party is simply hateful. They failed to force Mr. Dongpo away, and now even the teacher can't tolerate it.

Many things have happened in these years. At the beginning, when Sima Guang was still alive, the people of the old party were suppressed by him and restrained a little bit. Two years ago, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, the leaders of the old and new parties, passed away one after another. Not only did they not stabilize the political situation , On the contrary, it caused a lot of waves, and it was not until the people of the new party were almost extinct that it gradually stabilized.

Although the little emperor is young, he is young and mature, and his mind is extremely mature. After Zhang Xiu's analysis of the various ruling methods of the old party, he also understands that these people are unscrupulously dividing up the fruits of victory. For the people.

In this regard, the little emperor was extremely disappointed, and naturally he relied more and more on the two teachers Zhang Xiu and Su Shi.

The two teachers have both literature and military skills, and if they can get their favor and assistance, why not worry about their great achievements?
Especially when he learned that Zhang Xiu knew the art of war, he repeatedly revealed that he wanted to worship Zhang Xiu as the Marshal of the North, regain Xixia, and wipe out Khitan.But it seems that he found that the little celestial master is more inclined to teach himself to be a talent, and let himself achieve this great achievement by himself.

At first, the little emperor couldn't figure out the twists and turns, but after the Empress Dowager reminded him, he finally understood the samadhi.

"Pindao has been in the palace for three years, and the official's health has been recuperated, but..."

"But you can't get close to female sex, otherwise your meridians will be cut off and you will die suddenly. Teacher, can you change your words, and the disciple's ears can hear cocoons." Zhao Xu, who is already 13 years old, can be regarded as a good-looking talent. It is hard to imagine that they can meet in the human world with such a handsome appearance and supernatural temperament.

If she is a daughter, I'm afraid...not afraid, she should definitely fall in love at first sight.

Zhao Xu felt a little frustrated, he overheard those big sisters in the palace who were jealous of the teacher's appearance and body, he was obviously not bad!
Unfortunately, all the maids in the palace know that he is practicing Tiangang Boy Kungfu, and the plot of "the maids in the harem who want to stand out and seduce the emperor" in those scripts is impossible for him to happen.

"If the poor Taoist's expectations are not bad, at most five years later, the official family's boyhood skills will be great." Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Besides, the official family is still young, and getting in touch with men and women too early will be harmful to the body. harmful."

"Let's not talk about this, teacher, those old ministers are becoming more and more arrogant." Zhao Xu sighed softly, and said, "When the Xiaochao was meeting and governing, they were facing the empress dowager, and I could only see their backs and the empress dowager. Buttocks. It would be better to stay in the imperial study and read books. If the teacher also abandons me, the disciple will really become a lonely family."

"The officials don't need to worry too much. Pindao has already received a letter from the disciples of the Yulong Gang, saying that Mr. Dongpo will return to Beijing soon." Zhang Xiu stretched his muscles: "The world is so big, we can't just let him alone Ren Xiaosha should let the two of us switch roles now."

"Really, Mr. Dongpo is coming back?" Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, and he immediately diluted the sadness of Zhang Xiu's leaving.

"Mr. Dongpo is old after all, and he doesn't know martial arts. Many times, things in the Jianghu are very difficult for him to deal with." Having said this, Zhang Xiu's face turned serious: "And there have been a lot of turmoil in the Jianghu recently. It is said that Many Jianghu people died under their own famous stunts, including many famous martial arts masters who have been famous for a long time. This matter must be guarded against. In addition, there are also masters from Khitan, Xixia, Tubo, Dali and other countries who have recently been in the Central Plains Mr. Dongpo may not be able to deal with domestic activities."

Jingshi Yuquan Gym.

When Su Shi came back this time, he took Lu Junyi and Lin Chong with him when he left, and he would naturally bring them back when he came back.

At a young age, he broke into the title of the Four Great Kings in the arena, and indeed the teachers in the Yuquan Gym made fun of it. The titles of Jade Qilin and Leopard Head are indeed the same in the arena now. number one.

On the contrary, they are old Jianghu, I am afraid that not many people in the Jianghu know their names, they can only lament that a new generation replaces the old.

Zhang Xiu and Su Shi are sitting opposite each other, and Zhou Tong is also at the side. There are only three of them here.

The little emperor also wanted to come, but Empress Dowager Gao did not allow him to leave the palace at will. In order to prevent Zhang Xiu from secretly taking him out, the little emperor was very helpless by following him every step of the way today.

"Sir, can you get anything from this trip to the rivers and lakes?"

"The Song Dynasty is rich all over the world, and the poor are all farmers." Su Shi shook his head helplessly, and said: "At the beginning, I couldn't bear those orphans and widows to starve to death on the streets, and started the Fish and Dragon Gang. People who are so wealthy that they can mainly do farming, but they still have to worry about food and clothing. Not only that, the tax paid by the merchants is nothing but a drop in the bucket.”

"In addition, scholar-bureaucrats are exempt from taxes, so many people rely on their arable land to scholars with fame. These are small heads, and the big heads are still the land controlled by those aristocratic families, and they are still constantly annexing land. Land that can collect taxes Less and less, the taxes collected are naturally less and less, and in order to complete the task, the officials naturally increase the taxes on the people, and some people even enrich their own pockets. There are so many problems, it is shocking."
