Chapter 123: The rise and fall of emotion

Several prime ministers put away the dispute and bowed down together to salute. Zhao Huan waved his hand and smiled, "You guys don't have to do this."

While saying that, he went to the corner of the palace to change clothes and wash.

After he was packing up, he turned around and took up his seat and said to everyone, "I already know the intention of Zhao Kailai. Yu, Qin Erqing, came here, probably because of the recent storm caused by reforms?"

Yu Ping hurriedly bowed and replied, "That's right. These days, there have been many rumors in the market. Many ministers have issued letters to impeach him. I have already asked to resign. Your Majesty is very grateful. However, the attack on me has not stopped, and my husband Yan is in the position of prime minister and I cannot rest assured. I also ask Your Majesty to denounce him to determine the meaning of reform."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and asked the eunuch beside him to pass it to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan glanced briefly and saw that the names were written on it, all of which were the list of ministers who opposed the reform and demanded that the emperor repel Yu Ping and Qin Hui.

He casually put the memorial aside and said with a smile: "Yu Qing is really a strong man."

This kind of character that I have always been praised by the emperor, but was not humble. He only replied: "Wang Jinggong refused to kill people in the reform, so he made Sima Guang, Su Shi and others destroy the new law. I believe that the reform should kill people. Your Majesty uses iron bowl methods to govern the ministers, and no one dares to make a sound of fighting horses again. Then the implementation of the new law will no longer be restricted."

Zhao Kai was furious when he heard this. He was originally a great man in Guanxi, with a flushed face. At this time, his face turned red and his whole body trembled. However, the emperor had never quarreled. He had to meditate and never lose his body as a minister. Then he refused to go forward to argue.

Qin Hui had no expression on his face, but he cursed in his heart: "Silly!"

Zhao Huan's expression remained unchanged. After Yu Ping finished speaking, he said, "Although your words are reasonable, the ancestors have their words first, so they should not kill scholars and officials without mercy. They should not sin because of their words."

Yu Ping pressed step by step and said, "Your Majesty's grand plan is strong. Although you have achieved success and founding, what can you do if you change the rules of your ancestors!"

"I have my own considerations about this matter, so I don't need to talk about it anymore."

Seeing that Zhao Huan seemed unhappy, Yu Ping had to stand back and dared not say anything else.

Zhao Huanding was decisive. He knew that people like Yu Ping would not be able to use them for a long time. If they were to use an organization, they could play the greatest role. If they were to use them at a high position, they would start to deal with their colleagues, and then they would be the Prime Minister, and they would eventually become the Prime Minister. Whether they had the ambition to usurp the throne needs to be seen again.

But he is used at this time, so there is no need to scold him.

He said quietly and gently: "This time I asked you to write a letter to talk about the reform of the rituals. In fact, it was just a trick.

I also know that practicing many laws at this time will definitely make the government and the public look at each other, and even cause major political changes. I have written a note to Li Gang to let him know that except for the school and farmland water conservancy laws, the rest of the laws will not be implemented. In this way, Li Gang does not have to come to Chang'an, and the situation will gradually subside in a short time."

Qin Hui had known the consequences, but Zhao Kai and Yu Ping were only shocked. Zhao Kai was surprised and felt relieved. He glanced at Yu Ping with a squinted look, and he was even more happy when he saw the other party's face turned blue.

Seeing that Yu Ping was about to come forward to speak, Zhao Huan waved his hand and smiled, "This matter is not intended to be hidden from Yu Qing, but you just became a member of the government and the overall situation in the country is not clear. I have put forward many reform proposals at this time, but it is just a mess of people's ears and ears. The details are hindered. After you go down, you will tell Qin Hui in detail. You will know the bottom line."

Yu Ping knew that Zhao Huan was kind on the surface and could tolerate others' words, but in fact he was harsh and tough and resolute. Although he did not violate the ancestral system and killed people after returning to Chang'an, his autocracy was far beyond the previous Emperor Song. When he came to pay a visit, he was determined to rush the emperor's heart to arrest and kill a group of officials, and then use the emperor's authority to establish his own authority. He would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, the emperor had a gentle and gentle breeze and drizzle. He settled the matter in a few words, and a huge storm disappeared.

He was really unwilling to accept it, but knew that the emperor and Zhao Kai had something important to do, so he had to say goodbye. When Qin Hui saw him leaving, he saw Zhao Huan nodding to him and hurriedly left.

Seeing that the two of them left one after another, Zhao Kai felt relieved and said sincerely to Zhao Huan:

"Your Majesty decides not to change the law, I think it is very wise."

Zhao Huan's face was gloomy and said to him: "It's not that the law is not unchanged, but that's not that time. The current major policy still needs to defeat the Jin people and recover Yan Yun. By then, the law of unchanged cannot change the dilemma for thousands of years. I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility, which is understandable."

Zhao Kai was stunned. He heard Zhao Huan's tone with an indescribable dullness, and asked unconsciously:

"With Your Majesty's natural talent, it is not difficult to expel the Jurchen and recover Yanyun. Today, the administration is even more prosperous, and the country is gradually becoming more prosperous and the people are strong. After the reorganization of the imperial guards, it is also difficult to stop the elite. The dynasty has never had such a good situation since the founding of the country. After the world is reunified, it only needs to abide by the laws and regulations, and to shepherd the barbarians and cultivate politics within the outside world, then Your Majesty will be far superior to Emperor Taizong of Tang, so why bother with trouble?"

Seeing that Zhao Huan was unmoved, Zhao Kai was very anxious and said, "The Renzong and Shenzong wanted to reform the country, but the country was weak and the people were poor. Now the situation has changed drastically. Although it has not changed, why should Your Majesty seek the name of reform and ruin the great affairs of the world?"

"This is all about rule by man and destruction by man. What I care about is behind me."

Zhao Huan blurted out and saw Zhao Kai stunned again, and he was also funny. He discussed with Zhao Kai a standard "ancient people" who had a destruction and a law of rise and fall, which was indeed too advanced. His own worries could only be solved by himself.

He explained to Zhao Kai again: "I am not afraid of external troubles or internal strife. But my sons are separated, and the wise and foolish are not equal. How could I not try my best in advance? Otherwise, Taizu was so powerful that Taizong could not even conquer a Youzhou. Instead, he was injured by arrows and died of worries and anger. Zhenzong and Renzong emperors could not defend their achievements. "The emperor's argument for progress."

Zhao Huan was in a desperate attempt to attack his ancestors and emperors. Zhao Kai was unable to respond. Although he heard the earth was frightened, he had to accept what Zhao Huan said was true.

"So the reform has to be done, and I also say that the new law is to establish a law that will not change forever. Zhao Kai, just wait and see, and I will definitely prevent the Song Dynasty from being humiliated by foreigners."

Zhao Kaizhong said, "However, the appointment of treacherous and slanderous people is the main reason for the failure of the reform that day."

"Otherwise, treacherous and treacherous have the use of treacherous and treacherous. They only see benefits but not righteousness. The righteousness mentioned by scholars is actually mostly just the knowledge of scholars and cannot be achieved by doing things. However, righteousness is also the source of Chinese Taoism, and I will not ignore it. Zhao Qing, you can rest assured."

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. I believe that Your Majesty will definitely not make the mistakes made by the Emperor Shenzong."

Zhao Huan laughed and said to Zhao Kai: "Of course I won't."

He asked Zhao Kai again: "You come today, must the expenditure this year have been calculated?"

Zhao Kai nodded and replied, "That's right." After saying that, he took out the origami in his sleeve and said,

"Last year, the income was 71 million guan, and the expenditure was 69 million guan, and the remaining two million remained, which was hidden in Chang'an warehouse. This year, the total income was 73 million guan. If you follow Your Majesty's calculations, you may not be able to make up for the income and you will not be able to make up for the income. Among them, military expenditures account for 70%, farmland and water conservancy 20%, and the expenses of officials' salaries will be less than 10%.

He glanced at Zhao Huan's face and said, "This is just a general idea. You obviously want your Majesty to take a closer look."

Zhao Huan took it with one hand, glanced at it for a few seconds, and then smiled and said, "If you were proficient in accounting arithmetic, you would have been able to calculate it long ago."

Seeing Zhao Kai showing shame on his face, Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "This is a big deal. Now there are fewer and fewer people who want to learn arithmetic. Half of the Analects of Confucius dominate the world? A joke. Zhao Kai, at least 30% of the people in my hometown need to learn arithmetic. If you learn it, you will not have the worries of today after five years."

Zhao Kai looked thoughtful and had not thought about it carefully yet, and he heard Zhao Huan continue: "It's fine, when a war is fought, you will always get the income of the other party's treasury, which can make up for some shortcomings. A little worse will not affect the overall situation. This year's war will be fought, and the imperial guards' fees will definitely be reduced next year and next year, and you can save money to do other things. The heavy taxes in our dynasty are far from the previous generations. In a few years, we can reduce the taxes in a large number of years, so that the people will be able to save their shoulders and reduce their labor and hard work. Then, the people will be rich and the country will be strong, and I will have no worries anymore."

"Your Majesty has this thought, God will bless me in the Song Dynasty." Zhao Kai was extremely moved. Emperors of the Song Dynasty also said that they loved the people. In fact, every time they often think about the land, they are the strength of the country's army. Among the emperors, the only one who can truly be frugal and polite the people's strength is the emperor in front of him, and the emperor in front of him is the emperor in front of him who is eager to reduce taxes.

He bent down and wanted to say a few more words of praise, but he felt that the words were too rude and could not speak for a while.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing and said, "You are just managing my finances so that I have no worries. It is much better than saying a few chants of holy words."

After saying that, he looked at the list in his hand again, and while he was looking, he muttered: "A thousand thunder bikes cost more than three million yuan, and I was shocked... I had nearly fifty yuan of a sword?"

Zhao Kai suppressed his smile and replied, "Buren armor, Modao and other things are all newly made. Before production, it will cost a lot of money. However, I have seen it with my own eyes that the Modao's iron handle is three sharp and sharp. If there are tens of thousands of warriors holding this sword with heavy armor, even if the enemy is riding thousands of horses, they cannot get close to you."

During the Song Dynasty, there was no large-scale precious metal. Most silver was produced in South America and Japan. At this time, these two places were wilderness and did not know how to make silver. The output of silver was very small. The Song people used copper coins as the most basic trading method. At this time, the copper coins were on the one hand because the denomination was too small, and the second was the profit from making copperware. The Song Dynasty used millions of miners to mine and train day and night, and it was not enough to use it. According to later calculations, the Song people always waited for one tael of silver. Zhao Huan was muttering, and seemed to see piles of copper coins flowing away like a big river in the Yangtze River. He felt really heartbroken. When he heard Zhao Kai's words, he could only smile and said, "I hope that this is the case, and I hope that the soldiers on the front line will live up to my hopes and Zhao Qing's hard work."
