Chapter 1,442 Reasons

The princess who had not yet left the palace secretly recorded a book with a man. If this matter was publicized by someone, it might become a royal scandal, so the eldest princess quietly reported it to Gao Taotao.

Not long after, Princess Shushou married Han Jiayan. It was not until the wedding ceremony that the two of them realized that they were marrying an old friend.

Naturally, they fell in love with each other afterwards, because Han Jiayan was engaged in research work in Sima Guang's Shang and Zhou Text Research Bureau, and Gao Taotao even authorized Princess Shushou to go to Luoyang with her husband, which was the only one among the princesses of the Song Dynasty.

This year Han Jiayan was going to Beijing to report on the work progress of the Shang and Zhou Text Research Bureau, so Zhao Xu ordered Princess Shushou to return to Beijing with him.

Han Jiayan was Su You's student in Xiangzhou, hence Su Xiaomei's talk about friendship.

The eldest princess said to her younger sister: "So why do we need any big gifts? Your Su family can't find a few unique books? Come on, let's go inside and discuss them in detail."

After entering the inner room, the eldest princess took her younger sister and sat on the edge of the couch, and whispered: "King Cao has invited me out. This time the reason is sufficient. Your Majesty is right. The Queen Mother can't say anything."

The younger sister said: "Then King Yong can hardly applaud."

The eldest princess sighed: "I just hope that my second emperor brother will retreat when he sees the difficulties. Brother Emperor, I was too tolerant to him in the past. His Majesty has been unhesitating several times this year, which is really heart-wrenching."

The younger sister whispered: "Brother said that Your Majesty has an heir. The county prince Congrui is eager to learn. Although he is young, he already has the appearance of a wise king."

"But when the two kings are out, the main resistance lies with the Queen Mother. How can we persuade the Queen Mother? She needs to understand the situation."

The eldest princess said: "But it's difficult. The Queen Mother has always doted on the two kings. In the history of China, there are few cases where the princes have not left home for more than 20 years. If the Song Dynasty is as prosperous as it is now, there are Zhenguan and Kaiyuan.

How can we be careful about the appearance..."

The younger sister held the eldest princess's hand: "If the Queen Mother can reason, she won't be able to wait until today. Sister, please don't rush to remonstrate directly. Let's think of a solution..."

…

At the residence of Prince Yong, Zhao Hao was listening to Prince Fu Zheng Yong explain the Analects to several princes.

In fact, many people understand his intentions, which is that he neither rushes forward nor refuses opportunities.

He had been staring at that position.

In the fifth year of Wang Anshi's reform, the world was full of resentment? The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager at that time cried in front of His Majesty and complained that Xianggong Anshi had violated the laws of the world. In fact, they themselves also contributed a lot.

And the incident of Xuandemen King Anshi’s horse servants being beaten? There is also his shadow.

But that time when the Queen Mother of the two palaces cried out? Zhao Xu regarded it as a huge threat and asked directly if he should let you come? Let him apologize quickly.

As for the Xuandemen conflict, it was resolved by Su You, even at the political risk of losing his position as Kaifeng Governor. Each of them fought fifty pieces to save the dignity of Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi.

But that time, God followed people's wishes, and Zheng Xia's "Picture of Refugees" still sent Mr. Ao into exile.

However, the unexpected political overturn did not come. The emperor not only persisted in the reform, but also took over the power. The situation became better and better.

The year when Wang Anshi stepped down from power turned out to be a turning point in the power of the Song Dynasty.

From then on, the emperor's brother took the jar Wang Anshi left for him and made new medicine in it.

Zhejiang, Zhejiang and the South China Sea are a stroke of genius.

The huge financial contribution of the two places to the Song Dynasty was enough to make the courtiers selectively forget about the corruption in Shaanxi and Hebei.

But while everyone was cheering for the great achievements of the two places, the emperor quietly completed the arrangements for Hebei and Shaanxi.

Hebei relied on shipping and received huge financial support, turning the difficult situation around and entering a period of food and clothing.

The changes in Xixia's situation were beyond everyone's expectations.

At that time, his staff made many assumptions and believed that the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Gao Zunyu, Li Xian and Wang Zhongzheng had no choice but to die in front of the powerful Xia cavalry.

In their deduction, Zhong E will definitely come out easily, Gao Zunyu and Liu Changzuo will definitely compete for credit, Wang Zhongzheng will definitely cower, and Li Xian will definitely disobey orders and fight recklessly.

The Xia people will definitely fortify their walls and clear the country, and surround Gao Zunyu with a large army at the foot of Lingzhou City. When the weather turns cold and the ground freezes, the fate of the Song Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops may not be much better.

Even if they were lucky enough to win, the Xia people could defend Xingqing across the river and the regime would not fall. They would support the Hetao area and turn it into a huge guerrilla area. The Song army would still be trapped in the muddy pond and would be difficult to move forward.

At that time, everyone concluded that there was a 60% chance that the Song army would be defeated by Lingzhou City.

Even if you win, the possibility of falling into a deadlock will be as high as 90%.

Who! Ever! Think!

Who would have thought that many follow-up plans would completely come to nothing.

As expected, Zhong E came out lightly, Gao Zunyu and Liu Changzuo indeed competed for credit, Wang Zhongzheng indeed cowered in Jiuyuan, and Li Xian did not obey the command. He stopped his troops in the early stage, and later entered the Tiandu Mountain Wave Battle.

However, the result was completely unexpected. The same method of attack allowed the Song Dynasty to destroy the Xia Kingdom outside the Hetao River, just like destroying the dry land!

Even with the remaining power of the great victory, he conquered Qingtang and Hexi and expanded the territory to Khotan!

The reputation of the imperial brother has now reached its peak. Even in his own shogunate, he is considered to have surpassed Taizu Taizong. Some people even compare him with Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is a good metaphor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a bad metaphor.

But even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the object of admiration and admiration among the emperors of the Song Dynasty.

From that moment on, I began to hide myself deeper.

It is impossible to win over officials directly, that is the opposite of the dragon's scale, so winning over scholars and Confucian scholars has become Zhao Hao's curved path.

After all, scholars will eventually become officials. If you work harder, you will always gain something.

The current situation in the Song Dynasty also requires a price to be paid.

Although he had been holding on hard, the sudden increase in workload after Yuanfeng's restructuring was undoubtedly a health killer for the middle-aged emperor brother.

The past two years of imprisonment and death were not only about benevolence and sending labor to sparsely populated areas, but didn't they also have the intention of praying for the emperor's health?

After waiting for so many years, why wait any longer?

As his thoughts were racing, he heard Zheng Yong cough lightly: "Your Majesty, may I ask if there is anything inappropriate in my explanation?"

Only then did Zhao Hao react and said to the princes: "Oh, Master Zheng's explanation is incisive. The Analects of Confucius is clear in one sentence. The whole article talks about 'benevolence'."

"The great truth is subtle, and it may not be understood if it is consistent throughout life. However, studying "The Analects of Confucius" may seem simple, but it is actually very important. The reason is that learning and reading it can be 'closer to benevolence'."

"It's like moving your family next door to the Master. Listening to his explanations to his disciples every day, you can understand the profound meaning of his ordinary words. Do you understand?"

All the princes nodded.

Zhao Hao said: "You still have to work harder. Don't think that you will relax in studying as the new year is approaching. Yuan Ye will enter the palace to live for the Queen Mother. Maybe she will have to test your knowledge. Don't take it lightly."

Several princes nodded in agreement, Zhao Hao asked them to retreat, and then picked up the tea bowl: "What King Cao did, he put me on the fire to roast..."

Zheng Yongzheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty just said it well, Master has always said it, but it is just a word of benevolence."

"And where does the word benevolence come from? Filial piety. This is why the prince stays in the palace."

"Can the Queen Mother's kindness to the prince be no match for the rumors from outside? Can the prince ignore his filial piety for the sake of his own virtuous reputation?"

In many things, the only difference was a moral reason. Zhao Hao immediately changed his appearance and saluted: "Master Zheng is still knowledgeable, and Zhao Hao has been taught."

…

The things brought back by the Zuosixuanluo were numerous and miscellaneous. Regardless of the wealth of gold and silver, the gifts of the Xia and Shang dynasties, or the astronomical records, the variety of animals and plants alone was enough for the people of the Song Dynasty to digest for a long time.

The chicken with silk ribbons and the duck with the knobby head are extremely inconsistent with the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty. The one-legged Zhang Er on the Weishi Zhuangzi dared to ignore the scientific naming of the young master of the chair and called it "ugly chicken" and "ugly duck".

Potatoes are as big as potato bells, so they are called potatoes. Sweet potatoes are named after their properties, and at least they have retained their name.

After Su You, who was far away in Sichuan, heard the news, he sent a letter, asking that all the crops be harvested in Dongzhuang, and that they should be planted first to find out the physical properties.

It was mentioned that uncooked green beans may be poisonous, potato spores may be poisonous, and the vines of cold potato may even be poisonous.

All things should not be eaten or grown indiscriminately. They should be collected in the village first and wait for the senior brothers from Tianshi Mansion to come over and complete the toxicity test with white mice and rabbits.

Zhang Er is a person very close to the Duke of Shu.

This is how people are. Only when they are far apart will they feel that they are gods. If they get along with each other every day, they will feel that the other person is just an ordinary person.
