Chapter 75: Hundred Years of Accumulation
The emperor's gym has a simple decoration. Apart from a coffee table and some fitness equipment, there is no other furniture, and it is full of simplicity.
Liu Yanzong couldn't understand what the emperor was doing here every day. He had nothing to do when he was full and could not spend all his energy. Will this not be enough to lose his body?
Zhao Huan pulled fifty pull-ups in one breath, and his figure had a clear outline, and the masculinity between his eyebrows became even stronger.
Wipe the sweat with a cotton towel, and the emperor came over and took a sip of tea.
"How much do you know about the history of this dynasty?"
Liu Yanzong hesitated slightly, and the emperor continued, "Liu Qing, you were born in Liao and later served for the Jin army..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, Liu Yanzong had already gotten up in a hurry and crawled on the ground: "The emperor forgives his crimes, I really have no choice before!"
Liu Yanzong was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. Could it be that the emperor felt that Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures had been taken back and wanted to cook the rabbit and die?
Liu Yanzong hasn't lived enough yet. There are so many beautiful women in Bianjing, so he has to go to bed one by one.
Seeing that Liu Yanzong seemed to have misunderstood his meaning, Zhao Huan didn't say anything, but drank several sips of tea, which made Liu Yanzong crawl there and tremble. It was not until Liu Yanzong's whole body was wet with cold sweat that Zhao Huan said, "Get up and talk."
"I want to know, how did you view the Song Dynasty when you were in an outsider before?"
"This..." Liu Yanzong stammered on the surface, but he was very calm in his heart. He was sure that the emperor was not asking him to play the game of cooking with dead rabbits and dogs.
"The great Song Dynasty has a wealth of treasures, outstanding people and beautiful places, and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."
Before Liu Yanzong could finish his words, the emperor's face was already terrifyingly gloomy, so he quickly shut up.
"You treat me as the Emperor of Taoism, right? Do you think I like to hear what you say nicely? I asked you to tell the truth. If you dare to say a little lies, I will castrate you!"
"Son of the Lord!" Although he didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked him about this and forced him to express his opinions on the Song Dynasty, the emperor was furious and he didn't dare to say anything anymore. This emperor was not so easy to fool. He knew some things very well. The reason why he asked others was to know what others thought.
With this in mind, Liu Yanzong also took the initiative: "Report to Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty founded the country from Taizu, swept the world and ended the war in the Central Plains. Zhao was the lord of heaven. In order to avoid the separatist rule of the former Tang vassal states and the military men harmed the world, Taizu governed the country with civil servants, and valued culture over military forces."
"The advantage is that many famous prime ministers of the Song Dynasty emerged, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The military power was greatly weakened. If Taizu could regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the frontier defense was in demand, but Taizu died overnight and changed Tianyan. Yongxi's northern expedition lost most of the elites of the Song Dynasty. From then on, the Song Dynasty could only passively defend against the Liao Kingdom.
"That's fine. After the Tanyuan Alliance, the Song and Liao dynasties were repaired, and foreign troubles in the north were lifted. However, the northwest Dangxiang rose. The Song Dynasty abolished the government troops and began to raise soldiers on a large scale. The redundant officials and troops became more and more serious, the vitality of political affairs decreased, and the financial expenditure became larger and larger. The garrison in the army created a situation where the generals did not know the soldiers and soldiers but did not know the generals. Once the war began, the geniuses in the temple were quarreling, and the front-line soldiers did not know where the superiors were. This time, the Jin people's southward journey had exposed the fragility of the northern part of the Song Dynasty. If it were not for the emperor's wise and the emperor was in charge of the emperor's personal expedition, I'm afraid..."
Liu Yanzong didn't dare to say anything later. He asked about the faults of the Song Dynasty before, and finally he never forgot to praise and praise the emperor so that he could save his life.
The implication is that the Song Dynasty has already had many problems and has become very weak. But Emperor, you are really wise and powerful. This is really amazing to lead us to defeat the Jin thieves!
The emperor suddenly asked: "Why did the Qingli New Deal die prematurely?"
Liu Yanzong was slightly stunned, Damn, Emperor, you have finally exposed your purpose! It turns out that you are going to reform the world in the Song Dynasty!
"I think Mr. Fan cannot shake them!"
"them?"
"It is them, Your Majesty should know better than me. They enjoyed the generous salary given by His Majesty the Emperor, but the corpse was just a meal. Mr. Fan and Fu Bi said: To make it clear and demoted, to suppress luck, to be generous, to be tributed, to choose officials, and to be all the land of the government. Which of these items did not affect their interests?"
"Where is Duke Wen of Wang?"
"Duke Wen's ambition is like a swan, but he still can't move them."
Zhao Huan put down the teacup in his hand and was silent for a while. The incense burner on the table was burning in full swing. The setting sun outside sprinkled in, dyeing a layer of golden yellow on the wooden floor.
“How to do it?”
Liu Yanzong was so furious now that he knew that the emperor would ask him what he did, and that there was no minister who only asked questions but not the solution? Just like in later companies, you only knew how to ask questions all day long, and after asking questions, there was no further information. The leader would kill you first!
Unfortunately, many student parties are happy to ask questions. As for what you ask them, they will answer you and work hard to succeed.
If Liu Yanzong also told Zhao Huan, Your Majesty, I have a bowl of chicken soup here, let’s do it by the king and the ministers. Remember, you can succeed by working hard. Come on, give yourself a smile every day!
Look at whether Zhao Huan will chop him up!
Liu Yanzong just pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has accumulated unprecedented expectations in the army this time, and the soldiers of the three armies are following His Majesty's head!"
Liu Yanzong said something inexplicably. The emperor asked him what to do. He suddenly said that the emperor had a higher prestige in the army after he personally led the army. Isn’t this a bad word?
But Zhao Huan did not blame him because Zhao Huan could hear what he meant.
Zhao Huan just wanted Liu Yanzong to say this, he wanted Liu Yanzong to express his opinion in front of him. When he wanted to argue with others in the future, he would never be able to withstand him, Liu Yanzong had to go!
"Liu Qing, it's getting late, go back and rest."
Liu Yanzong felt relieved in his heart, bowed again and said he left. When he went out, he found that his clothes were sweating all over.
The emperor did not express his opinion, but Liu Yanzong had already guessed the emperor's attitude and vaguely guessed what the emperor was thinking about if he didn't show up in the past few days.
When the war in Hedong, the Ministry of Revenue did not even make any money after paying for money. The emperor did not start a massacre immediately, which shows that the emperor was not planning to kill people, but planned to have a big vote!
Liu Yanzong swallowed a little. The current situation in the Song Dynasty is completely different from the time of Emperor Shenzong. All officials are even longer and even longer. This is nothing. As long as external troubles are eliminated, the Zhao official family of all dynasties is merciful and sturdy in the changes in the government structure of the court. Therefore, even if there are many problems, there will be nothing.
But this official family is completely different. His decisiveness and determination are no weaker than Taizu. Now, through another war, he has won the loyalty of all the soldiers of the Song army. Now, those soldiers are afraid that the emperor will do whatever they ask them to do, and they will never hesitate!
