Chapter 84 The monarch and the ministers work together
The two of them didn't say a few words, but saw an eunuch running out of the cabinet and shouting on the steps: "I saw Feilun in the official family."
"Ferren is here."
Seeing him screaming, Feren hurried forward and agreed.
The eunuch saw Feilun's face, and he was already smiling. He hurriedly bent down and led Feilun to the left wing of the cabinet.
This pavilion was where Zhao Huan summoned officials to handle government affairs. Although it was not the main hall, it was also tall and grand. The pavilion was divided into five rooms. In addition to Zhao Huan's left wing, where Zhao Huan often met with people, there were also many Hanlin scholars or Zhongshu Sheren who were acquainted with imperial edicts in the other rooms, waiting for the emperor to consult and prepare questions. On the side wall of the main hall, there were maps hanging on the sand table below, and there were many cities on the camp and the signs were clear. There were several senators from the Privy Council who were at any time to explain the situation of the war in various places to the emperor.
Seeing Feilun come in, everyone in the cabinet has something to do, and the emperor is not convenient to salute, so they smiled and nodded to Feilun to show their friendship.
Feilun knew that the daily officials in this cabinet were extraordinary. Although they were all middle and lower-level officials, they were actually extremely powerful and were highly trusted by the emperor. They did not dare to neglect them at the moment. They nodded and smiled, and were even polite.
When he arrived at the door of the side room where Zhao Huan lived, he stopped, tidied up his appearance, and then walked in. After entering, he did not take a closer look. He only knelt down calmly before the seat that Zhao Huan often sat on, while saluting, and shouting: "My de Faren has seen Your Majesty."
"Oh, it's Feiren here, get up and sit down."
While getting up, Feilun felt that Zhao Huan's voice was normal and he didn't feel angry. He immediately felt relieved.
After getting up, he saw that there was not only Zhu Zhen in the cabinet. On the right side of the emperor's body, there was a young official wearing a purple robe, holding several documents in his hand. He was reading. Seeing Feilun look at him, he smiled and greeted him. Feilun hurriedly returned the greeting. This person was the signing of the book, Yu Yunwen. Who in the world knew that this person was the most trusted by the emperor and many confidential military affairs. Even the Privy Councilors did not know that this person was involved.
He nodded to Yu Yunwen, and when the eunuch brought the chair, he sat down carefully. As soon as he sat down, he heard Zhao Qi say slowly: "Zhu Qing. I already know your memorial that Duke Jianguo is still in his infancy. In a few years, I will definitely choose you as a lecturer. I don't need to say more now. A child who just knows how to walk will establish a crown prince!"
Feilun was startled. Knowing that Zhu Zhen was asking for a meeting today, it turned out that he was mentioning the establishment of the crown prince again, so he hurriedly turned to see the emperor. Although Zhao Huan frowned, he was not angry.
Zhu Zhen was not as concerned about Zhao Huan's emotions as Feilun. After the emperor finished speaking, he answered with his own ideas: "Although Duke Jianguo was young, in history books, he often made the eldest son of the emperor and became the crown prince as soon as he surrendered. At this time, the world was in chaos. There were many rumors in Chang'an and other places. I think it would be better to establish a crown prince early in order to ensure the peace of the world."
Zhao Huan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Of course he likes his son. If the relationship in his previous life fails and women in this life are at their fingertips, regardless of their feelings, his blood and his own biological son will still be his emotional sustenance.
Since Zhao Dun came to the age of Zhao Huan, the greatest fun every day during his duties was to tease his son and watch him grow up day by day, from crying children to being able to stagger.
At the same time, the emperor's family cannot be compared with ordinary people. Once this son falls into trouble, he will attract the attention of the whole world. When Zhao Huan was the crown prince in Tokyo, he had two sons and one daughter, but Tokyo fell, and several children were spoiled since childhood. They could not bear the pain of thousands of miles of bumpy miles. They died in a few years. In this way, Zhao Dun was the only heir to the entire Song Dynasty royal family. The heavy responsibility he shouldered on his shoulders was no longer something that a child less than one year old could bear.
Zhao Huan knew that with his own strength, it was impossible to change the feudal legal system that had been passed down from one's relatives in the short term, nor could it be possible to turn the imperial system into a republic. Although he often loves this son with the eyes and practices of the people like a kind father, he even knew in his heart that Zhao Dun would have to bear the responsibilities he should bear in a few years.
At this moment, he would rather let his son enjoy more innocence than live in Gong cage like the real Zhao royal family, who has lived in Gong cage since childhood.
With such a mind, after conventionally conferring the eldest son as Duke of Founding, Zhao Huan refused to go further. He named Zhao Jiao as the crown prince, even if it could help calm people's hearts, and he was unwilling to use this kind of power to weigh the pros and cons of the world on his son's land.
After glanced at Zhu Zhen with a stubborn look, Zhao Huan understood in his heart that although the other party was just a secretary and a young supervisor, he was not of high quality, he was indeed a lecturer serving the imperial lecture. According to conventions, he could speak to the emperor without being scolded. Zhu Zhen himself was a master of Confucian scholars. In the future, he would definitely be in the biography of Confucian officials of Song Dynasty. Such a person cannot be scolded by power or administrative means.
Even if it is a well-known study class, it will not have any intimidating effect on such a great scholar and righteous minister.
"well……"
Zhao Huan sighed with a rare sigh and smiled bitterly and said to Zhu Zhen: "I understand what you mean, and how about it after a while?"
As an emperor, if he agreed to this, Zhu Zhen, although he was well-educated in the great scholar, did not do anything. He immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "Yes, since Your Majesty said this, I dare not say anything again."
"Okay, you go back."
"Yes, I will leave." Zhu Zhen bowed to the ground and stood up and withdrew.
Although he persuaded Zhao Huan to establish the prince, there was no joy on his face, and he did not greet Fei Yu and the others, and then retreated.
Seeing Zhu Zhen withdrawing calmly, Zhao Huan smiled and said casually: "Confucian ministers are also divided into real Confucianism and fake Confucianism. Some people are full of Confucius and Mencius, but they are just themselves. They distort the meaning of the scriptures and come to sell their private goods. I don't like such people. Zhu Zhen has no talent for governing the world and cannot lack it around him. He dares to be the monarch and tells the truth. Without Haoran's righteousness, he will not succeed."
In fact, Zhao Huan knew in his heart that Zhu Zhen was still not satisfied. He wanted to ask himself to establish the queen to prevent gossip from the world. However, the other party was well-educated and the queen was different from the prince. It was a standard family matter for emperors, so Zhu Zhen hesitated for a while, and finally refused to mention it and turned around and retreated.
He sighed so much, Yu Yunwen was also a serious Confucian disciple. He just smiled, but Feilun was uncomfortable with the boss and immediately stood up and said, "I have to bear the entrustedness of Your Majesty. I originally boasted of my talent for governing the world, but now I will never dare to take it. I also ask Your Majesty to punish him heavily. I am willing to hand over the orders of the pedestrian department to study for two years."
"Damn it!"
When he answered Feilun, Zhao Huan was not as polite as he was to Zhu Zhen. He just finished speaking and scolded him.
"Yes, I'm confused and incompetent."
"No, it's not your fault, nor is it you're confused. You don't understand what I mean, and you dare not think about it. So I just felt it, but I was actually talking about you."
Zhao Huan stood up and arrived in front of Defeiren, looking at the confidant general of the Guard wearing an ordinary imperial guard's cotton robe and full of confusion.
Seeing that his eyes were soft and there was no sarcasm or anger, Feilun was even more "confused". Qiqiai Ai said, "I really don't understand what Your Majesty said."
Zhao Huan sighed, pressed Feilun's shoulder and asked, "Felun, how long have you been following me?"
"I have followed Your Majesty since the third year of Jingkang."
"It's been three years. You were just a child of seventeen years, but now you are in your early twenties. Because you are in danger and have a close faith in it, I trust you and taught you some spy methods. I think that with my trust and loyalty, this pedestrian will be able to regard the world as nothing in a few years. Don't you know that this is too naive and underestimated the heroes of the world."
"His Majesty!"
Feilun was so heartbroken that he was shocked. Before seeing Zhao Huan, he was afraid that his job would be inappropriate, so the emperor punished him. However, the emperor not only did not scold him, but instead blamed himself so much.
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Huan stopped Feilun and said, "This time rumors spread everywhere, and even the Xia soldiers invaded the territory, they were actually a chain of plans of the enemy. They were already slightly declining on the front battlefield. My Song Dynasty was rich and strong. As long as the top and the other side were united, the two countries would still have come and go within a year. What about three years? What about five years? The Jin Dynasty also had knowledgeable people. If not, they would not have destroyed the Liao Dynasty in a few years. They sent extensively to spread rumors, bribe the ministers and local officials in our court, and each punch hit my weakness. In the past two or three months, I would almost never be able to do anything else."
Speaking of this, Zhao Huan said a heavy tone. He returned to his seat and sat down dejectedly, and said with his hands: "I am too careless and too high. You are too tired and very young. Although you are capable, I have never given you a real pedestrian department with less than 2,000 people. Many of them are soldiers, and the funds are limited. How can you manage the whole world's intelligence?"
Feilun originally thought about what Zhao Huan said in private, but since they followed the emperor with a group of half-aged children, Zhao Huan had already possessed his soul, and every move was full of profound meaning and no mistakes. With his mental experience, how could he dare to doubt the emperor's decision? So he had to do his best and do more with his own strength to achieve the goal of living up to the emperor's entrustedness.
At this time, Zhao Huan admitted his mistake in person, and Feilun's original worries disappeared, and he also blamed himself. When he recalled Zhao Huan's feelings just now, he felt even more ashamed and couldn't help crying.
Zhao Huan didn't say anything, just after Feilun calmed down, Fang said: "Shun, the pedestrian department needs to make major changes and advance troops to attack the plan. Some people questioned the role of the pedestrian department. In fact, they were foolish, fought all over the country, and then acted. They were necessary to collect the economy, people's livelihood, garrison, administration, and even chatting among the people in the family, so that we can know our own and the enemy."
His tone turned calm, and he only looked at Feilun and said: Sorry, you don’t have to doubt yourself or doubt me. I have suffered this loss. Our monarch and ministers will work together and we will go back one day."
