Chapter 54: Zhao Jiu's Self-examination

After Zhao Guanjia said that, he ignored Liu and Ma and the other two wanted to do so. He ordered the palace servants on the night to put some dumplings and dumplings together for lunch. He also said, "It's not good not to drink alcohol on the big day. Don't drink less and don't get drunk and make things worse." After that, he made some things and said that it was brought by the West Lake in Hangzhou, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

Zhao Jiu had a drink with the two of them first, and suddenly sighed: "Yan Xiu is better. Zichong (Ma Kuo) has been on the Jin Dynasty since he was sent to the Jin Dynasty thirteen years ago. Except last year, he has never celebrated the New Year with his family! The old concubine in the family is afraid that she will complain too much."

It is said here that there was actually no princess in the Song Dynasty, and the prince's official wife was called the wife of the country. For example, Zhao Jiu's unlucky first wife, even Prince Kang, was the official name of Mrs. Jiaguo. Zhao Jiu has always been willful, and the queen of the feudal 18th Yan also wanted to give her an 18th princess. After all, the education he received in his previous life was half of my military merits. As a result, the resistance was too great, and he felt that it was unnecessary to make a fuss about this matter, so he appointed the mother of the Eighteenth Princess as the prince. The ministers were not too opposed to it. But unfortunately, after a look, it was found that only Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and Wu Jie's biological mother were still alive. Therefore, there were only the concubines of Wei, the concubines of Han and the concubines of Xing in the Song Dynasty.

Even though Ma Kuo has suffered all kinds of suffering over the years, he really couldn't help but cry when he heard this, saying that he was leaving his family to fight against the war. But if it were not for the time when he had to do it, who could do it? "Don't care about his parents, let alone his son and his wife?" What's more, Ma Kuo was alone in the north for more than ten years, and he was enemies on all sides. The betrayal and difficulties he had experienced were far beyond the imagination of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. When Zhao Guanjia saw him at the end of the sixth year, he could see that his psychological pressure was too great.

He still regarded the Zhao Guan family and the civil and military officials of the court as the same state as Jingkang. He was so arrogant on the surface, but was unbearable on the inside, with only the most decent and arrogant on the outside, regardless of the actual situation ahead. After the Taihang Mountain Rebel Army returned to the team, he was too careful and afraid that these life-and-death heroes would not be treated as regular military personnel, so he was careful to be a human being. In this case, such a thing happened again. It can only be said that he had not collapsed and had a tough position and loyalty and reliable position.

However, Liu Ziyu was a husband after all. He heard too many meanings from the three words "Old Concubine". He looked unbelievable. After thinking for a long time, he tentatively said: "The official family, is there some clue?"

"Of course there is, but the secret of heaven cannot be revealed for the time being. Today's festival is rare, and in fact, I also have a lot of things to say."

What could Liu Ziyu do? He had to say, "I'd like to ask the officials for advice?"

"What are you asking about? I asked Ziyu, can you tell where this palace was originally?"

Who doesn't know that if it is based on Liu Ziyu's previous temper, he must ask the official family three questions first, but now he is not afraid to make a mistake. He just said: "This place was originally called Xingqing Palace. It was originally the mansion of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuanji of Tang Dynasty. After Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, it was expanded on a large scale and became the lord palace of the lord of Chang'an City. During the Kaiyuan and Tianbao period, it was called the center of the Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji became the Supreme Emperor, and Xingqing Palace became his place for retirement and gradually became abandoned."

Zhao Jiu sighed and took a sip of cold wine. Feng Yi was so scared that he quickly went to warm wine for him. However, he said to himself: "Yes, I thought Li Longji was only interested in enjoyment after he was old and forced to seize his daughter-in-law. He either used to send lychees to the colorful clothes or pegasus to send lychees to the throne. These geniuses realized that this was always a luxurious lord. At the beginning of the throne, he gave his brothers a mansion to move to the neighboring house west of Xingqingfang and north of Xingqingfang. The entire Xingqingfang was changed to Xingqing Palace. Later, Xingqing Palace was built into

The court expanded its scope, and merged the southern half of Yongjiafang on the north and the eastern half of Shengyefang on the west. In the 20th year of Kaiyuan, a serene city was built in the east wall of the outer city, so that the royal family could directly connect with the Daming Palace and Qujiangchi from Xingqing Palace. It was a common enjoyment. It can be seen that no one suddenly became fainted from the Ming Dynasty. However, in the prosperous Kaiyuan period, the construction of large-scale construction was also covered. When the Hu soldiers in Tianbao captured the two capitals, it was time to settle the accounts."

After all, Ma Kuo didn't have much contact with Zhao Jiu, so he just nodded and said "yes". Liu Ziyu had some premonitions for many years, but he was not as good as his old friend and superior Zhang Jun, who could flatter the official family, but he couldn't come out if he had the goods in his stomach.

Zhai Biao, who shouldn't have spoken on the side, said, "Then, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang finally caused an Anshi rebellion, and he would not blame Yang Guifei."

Zhao Jiu was happy and said with a little wine: "Zhai Xiaojiu, no wonder I intended to take you as a deputy commander, but your father was always unhappy. He really loved his son and loved him. You should take care of him with me."

Zhai Biao touched his nose and did not dare to speak anymore, nor did he dare to tell the officials. He was not unwilling to let him go. His father disagreed and said that the seventh-rank official of the prime minister, let alone the imperial commander of the official family. If he dared to leave, he would not come back.

Let’s talk about the official family, aren’t you often saying that I can’t even recognize words if I don’t study hard?

Zhao Jiu laughed, but found a pot of Hangzhou wine smelling on the stove from behind, signaling Feng Yi to put on a few clean cups, and took advantage of the situation to bring it over, then poured a cup, and turned to the two important officials, ate some fruit, and said, "I said this, it is not that I have to decide whether it is right or wrong for the Anshi Rebellion, nor that I want to use this to mock the abuse of people's power like Emperor Taishang Daojun to create a more ridiculous Jingkang Rebellion. But I am reflecting on myself, at least for the time being, I have been the master of the world for the emperor. If I cannot be alert at all times, I have the humility of Emperor Taizong of Tang and the benevolence and self-discipline of Emperor Wen of Han. Even if I was a little cheered up when I was young, I will be devastated and blood flowed into a river when I was old. Now the emperor is me, the two Qing families, after the Northern Expedition, I am afraid and vague!"

This made everyone confused. Liu Ziyu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why did you say this? You have been pursuing firewood and tasting gall, mulberry trees and fish ponds. I didn't say it before, after the victory of the Northern Expedition, there was no tax on the people, and no major construction was carried out. I heard that Hu Xianggong and Chen were both stretched to build a new capital, and there was a little bit of Li Longji's extravagant atmosphere." Although criticizing the Second Saints was almost politically correct in Jianyan's dynasty, Liu Xianggong believed that he had been a minister of the Supreme Taoist Lord after all, and there was a target for him to immediately transfer the comparison.

Ma Kuo also said sincerely: "The official family is really too modest. You told me before that I prepared a mansion. But when I returned to Tokyo, I saw that it was actually opened by Jingyuan of Yanfu Palace. Not only that, you have allocated all the huge palaces to martial arts and respect the empress dowager. If this is still erratic, many emperors should be embarrassed."

Zhao Jiu shook his head and said sincerely: "What I say is not about my appearance, but about my heart. I say a thousand words and ten thousand words. Is this apology the biggest sin not my? Training the field army is my idea. Mr. Liu allowed them to move in Fengxiang Mansion to Chang'an to replenish supplies. It was also allowed that day. If I hadn't been throwing a tantrum for a while and stopped Yang Yizhong for one day, with his caution, he would not have made such a stir. Our king and ministers were in a dilemma!"

Liu Ziyu and Ma Kuo were stunned, and almost wet their eyes at the same time. Ma Kuo immediately knelt down and cried, "Officials, this is not the case..."

"Okay, no need to do this. I am also an individual. If I am a human being, I will make mistakes. In the past, I often thought that the Song Dynasty was in a low position, the censor restricted the prime minister, and the prime minister managed the court, but who would really restrict the emperor? So I was trembling for ten years and did not dare to make mistakes. So before the Northern Expedition, you heard some rumors more or less. I was worried and thanked the third prince opposite for his death so coincidental. I had no worries about putting down my strength to send troops. After winning, I was worried that the heroes would not die well in the future. If Hu Mingzhong had not advised him in time, he would have almost made a laugh and made everyone's hearts cold. These days, while I felt extremely embarrassed, I was also thinking about why it turned out like this. The situation was obviously very good!" Zhao Guanjia was blowing away, as if he was really drunk.

Liu Ziyu also got off the seat and knelt halfway, gritted his teeth and said, "Officials, I know the rebel army as well as King Xing. But I dare to guarantee my life, whether it is Shao Long or Liang Xing, even if it is reckless, it is definitely not a king or fatherless thing. If no one is doing anything or even provoked, the five thousand rebel army will never perform martial arts in Mount Li when you are about to enter Chang'an. If Yang is short of manpower at the time, I am willing to find these thieves for you!" Ma Kuo was shocked. I know you have this ability, but we must avoid suspicion!

"Yan Xiu doesn't have to do this. I can think of what you said. Yang Yizhong will be able to find out sooner or later. But this is just a little path. What I want to say is that I seem to have taken the wrong path in the past or two years."

Yes, the Zhao Guan family looked like a drunk cat, but it was extremely clear at this moment. Under the moonlight in Chang'an, in the old palace of the Tang Dynasty, he asked himself: Should the Yellow River be governed?

The answer is of course.

Do you need an emperor who doesn’t know anything about water affairs to stare from beginning to end?

The answer is that no need.

Yes, he was not arrogant, but as an extra-staff emperor, just as Lu Haoyi commented on Han Shizhong and others back then, he was afraid. He could not keep the friendship between the monarch and the ministers, how to govern, how to suffer the devastated land and the common people in Hebei, how to explain to the southeast Bashu that he had to wait until the northeast was stable before tax exemption... After all, it was the pain caused by the fact that Mingdao Palace had to take on the responsibility of the world since he came out of the well. He was originally just an engineering dog who graduated from college and was about to enter society!

But if he says a thousand words, hasn’t he become an emperor? In this era where more than 600 years have passed before the constitutional monarchy, if an emperor with great prestige is afraid of something, can you escape some things?
