The system of succession to the throne proposed by Zhao Zhen is to transfer the internal contradictions to the outside.

After the princes left the capital and arrived at the place, they would start a series of brutal battles.

Not only will they fight on their own, but they will also win over a large number of officials to join the struggle.

There are many officials who will fall victim to the princes' struggle for power.

Those who die and die are outsiders, and the royal family does not have to die.

Not only did he not have to die, but the emperor who had the capacity to tolerate people could also select some of these talents and continue to entrust them with important tasks, thereby deepening the influence of imperial power on the local level and strengthening the rule of the Zhao royal family over the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji had to admit that Zhao Zhen had completely transformed into a qualified emperor, he had learned to think in the way of an emperor, and he had also learned to rule his territory with the means of an emperor, and at the same time, he had more ruthlessness that an emperor should have.

In exchange for the lives of a group of officials, the children of the royal family can live in peace and stability, and the royal family will not lose.

The royal family can not only be said not to lose, but can even be said to be earned by blood.

Because the royal family can not only live in peace and stability, but also let the officials consume each other, so as to avoid the appearance of powerful ministers.

But this move was made by the royal family, but the Great Song Dynasty did not make it, and the officials did not make it either.

The more princes competing for the throne, the greater the wear and tear on the Great Song Dynasty.

It is very likely that the Great Song Dynasty will die out in internal strife.

In addition, it is impossible to strictly control the age of the imperial throne, and the long-lived emperor may be overshadowed by the emperor.

Perhaps Zhao Zhen felt that the golden age of an emperor was between thirty and fifty years old.

But Koji knows that the golden age of a politician is between fifty and sixty years old.

Because politicians between the ages of 50 and 60 have sharpened their vision, means, and experience to the peak.

When it comes to governance, you can ensure that you can take it in and out of it.

Therefore, politicians between the ages of fifty and sixty can be regarded as the pinnacle of politicians.

Between the ages of 60 and 70, perhaps the vision will become sharper, the means will become more sophisticated, and the experience will become richer.

But Koji did not count it into the prime age of politicians.

Because between the ages of sixty and seventy, there are many flaws.

For example, physical strength.

Hundreds of pounds of reading every day is not something that a person between the ages of 60 and 70 can bear.

Such as desire.

People with great power have far higher desires than others, and they can do many crazy things in order to achieve their desires.

In addition to this, there are many defects such as diseases.

So Koji doesn't think that sixty to seventy is the golden age for politicians.

It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji feels that the age group chosen by Zhao Zhen is a little unreasonable.

But considering that nine out of ten emperors in all dynasties were short-lived ghosts, Kou Ji could understand why Zhao Zhen chose the age group of thirty to fifty.

But once Zhao Zhen implements the term system he said, the emperor's life may be extended.

If you retire at the age of 50 and focus on self-cultivation, it is reasonable to live a little longer.

Maybe the Great Song Dynasty will give birth to a wife and emperor.

Whether it is the emperor or the emperor, it has a great influence and constraints on the emperor's authority.

It's already terrifying to order out of the second door, but if you order out the third door, it will be a big mess.

Kou Ji subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhen, since Zhao Zhen was a mature emperor, he would not fail to see this.

Zhao Zhen seemed to see Kou Ji's thoughts, and laughed in a low voice: "If one person speaks, he will definitely say the wrong thing, and two people can complement each other." ”

Kou Ji felt that Zhao Zhen was crazy, he not only wanted to add a term to the emperor, but also planned to divide the imperial power in two?

"The arrival of the two saints is not a good thing...... There is a living example of this in the former Tang Dynasty......"

Zhao Zhen said bluntly: "It's just a supervising ......"

Kou Ji wanted to laugh, "Lao Tzu supervises his son, does his son dare to refute Lao Tzu's words?" Don't forget that the Great Song Dynasty also has filial piety. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Kou Ji said to himself: "It is understandable to add a term to the throne, but the time to ascend the throne should not be controlled. Because it's useless to control, you choose the means of assessment, and you don't compete according to age, so the time for the top cannot be limited.

The internal contradiction turned into an external contradiction, which was beneficial to the royal family.

But it is not good for the people and the officials.

If it's just bad for the officials, it's okay.

Because those officials can use it, but they must be beaten often, or they will lose their reverence after a long time.

But the people are innocent.

You can't let the people suffer in order to solve the royal troubles.

Therefore, the princes are still better at their own ability, and they cannot implicate officials and ordinary people in it.

Officials, just do your part.

If you dare to meddle in the battle for the throne, you will be slaughtered.

As for the relatives of the emperor and the country, they should also be restrained, and they must be strictly implemented after three generations.

Three generations should not be based on three generations, but on three generations of emperors.

Otherwise, if the emperor is elected in 20 years, a group of imperial relatives can be born in 20 years.

At that time, these imperial relatives will be able to eat the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Finally, there is the influence of Emperor Taishang on the Great Song Dynasty.

If you retreat, you will retreat, and you will come down cleanly.

Just find a place to retire and stop thinking about jumping.

It doesn't have much significance, and it has a great impact on the Great Song Dynasty.

Is it nice to have your children and grandchildren bear the name of a puppet emperor?

Although after the implementation of this system, the emperor's age is likely to be around 30 to 50 years old, and the ups and downs will not exceed ten years.

It's not the ideal age.

But when people are old and have been in the center of power for a long time, they will always be good at all kinds of schemes.

The shrewd strategy had a limited impact on the current Great Song Dynasty.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has become the overlord of the four seas, it should be dignified and upright in doing things.

There's no need to calculate and calculate. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded with a deep sigh, "I'll think about it carefully when I go back." ”

Kou Ji nodded, not saying anything more.

Although he made up for a few shortcomings, he did not make up for all the shortcomings.

But it doesn't matter.

Because it's normal to be flawed.

As long as the emperor existed, a relatively perfect form of government could not have emerged.

Zhao Zhen put down this topic and began to talk about another topic, "Now Da Song is very short of money......

Kou Ji rolled his eyes.

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji with a smile.

Kou Ji muttered, "I'm afraid of you." Let's move the capital. In addition, create a capital city. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji suspiciously.

Kou Ji said angrily: "In addition, it costs money to build a capital, but it will earn more." In addition, in the capital city created, except for the imperial palace, schools, government offices, and the residences of some important ministers, the rest of the places can be sold.

When the price is raised, you can make a lot of money.

The fields outside the capital can also be sold at a high price.

Don't the powerful like to hoard land?

Just sell it to them. ”

Zhao Zhen pursed his lips and hesitated, "I'm afraid that people won't be happy." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "What's not to like?" Where the emperor is, the center of the Great Song Dynasty is there. They weren't happy, so they let them stay in Bianjing City on errands.

Anyway, Bianjing is known as Tokyo.

The Great Song Dynasty raised a large number of idle officials in Nanjing, which had only been laid off before.

Now raise another batch in Bianjing City, and turn around and slowly withdraw.

You spend your own money and build a lot outside, and it's not easy for the officials to say anything.

If you don't leave the new place, they can still put a knife on your neck.

If they don't want to lose their positions, they will inevitably move to Xindu. ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "The fourth brother seems to have always been dissatisfied with the capital of Bianjing City? ”

Kou Ji glared at Zhao Zhen, "You like to be flooded every day?" ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head with a smile, "What does the fourth brother think of Youzhou?" ”

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen in amazement, "Why do you want to set the capital Youzhou?" Luoyang, which is adjacent to Bianjing City, is not bad? If it doesn't work, you will move to Chang'an. ”

Zhao Zhen laughed, "Because the land in Youzhou is cheap." As long as I spend a little money, I can hold all the land in Youzhou. ”

Kou Ji felt that Zhao Zhen's heart was dark.

"You are the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, you have the final say."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and smiled and chatted with Kou Ji about some homely things.

When Zhao Zhen was about to leave, Kou Ji said: "I got some seeds from overseas, Qingguo is not suitable for planting, and can only be planted in Jiaozhi, Leizhou and other places. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said: "There are a lot of barren fields in Leizhou and Jiaozhi, you go back and send someone to see, which one you have selected, report it to the local yamen, and I will approve it." ”

Kou Ji nodded, and said nothing else.

Zhao Zhen didn't stay any longer, and left the greenhouse with a basket of fruits and vegetables.

After Zhao Zhen left, Liu Heng lay down beside Kou Ji again, and said unwillingly: "Why? ”

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng in amazement, "What, why?" ”

Liu Heng had a gloomy face, "You know. ”

Kou Ji pouted, "Your brother offended me, I should have beaten you to death?" ”

Liu Heng opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

Kou Ji said angrily: "There is one thing that must be planted." And the closest planting place to us is in Da Song. Unless I don't want that, I'll have to reconcile with him. ”

Liu Heng sat up and stared at Kou Ji, "Just for that one thing?" ”

Kou Ji shrugged his shoulders and said, "Otherwise? That thing is the key, without that thing, we can only nest in Xiyang and Qingguo for the rest of our lives.

With that thing, we can see the world. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji also sat up, stared at Liu Heng and said, "You are also a big man now, don't always think about fighting in the nest."

It's because there are too many people who like to fight in the nest that we will be bullied all the time.

Now that we have the strength and ability to look to the world, we should set our sights on the world.

The Great Song Dynasty is only a small part of the world.

There are many more places in the world that the Great Song Dynasty has not touched.

All he has is the Great Song Dynasty, and what we have is the world.

In the future, Da Song still has the final say in their family.

But the world is up to us.

As long as our children and grandchildren are strong, we can set the rules for the world in the future.

Da Song also has to follow the rules we have set.

Got it?

What we need to do now is to save enough capital for future generations to conquer the world.

Now the family wealth in our hands is not enough for future generations to toss. ”

Liu Heng didn't understand all of Kou Ji's words, he said suspiciously: "In the future, we can make rules for the world?" Let the world listen to us, including the Great Song?

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty also has to bow to us? ”

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and said bluntly: "As long as our children and grandchildren are competitive enough, it should be possible." After all, the most abundant family is now Da Song. The richest family must be us.

We have a rich family background and a broad horizon.

The pace of progress is bound to be faster than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

When we are huge enough to a certain extent, Da Song will naturally have to bow to us. ”

When Liu Heng heard this, he immediately rejoiced, "I don't care about anything else, I just want Zhao Zhen to bow to me." ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "That's difficult." ”

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, "Why?" ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "By the time we have that strength, we will probably all die." Thousands of years of accumulation are not something we can catch up with overnight. ”

Navigating the world is a grand idea.

Qin Fen VI's Yu Lie dominated the world.

If Kou Ji wants to pass through the world, I'm afraid he will have to be sixth.

Maybe one or two lives less, but only if each generation lives long enough.

The number of lifetimes has been reduced, but the specific number of years to be used cannot be changed.

Koji can only be a pioneer.

Of course, if he lived to be more than a hundred years old, he might be able to create a rule for the world.

Kou Ji felt that he might not live to that time.

Liu Heng is full of confidence that he can live to be 200 years old.

Kou Ji didn't bother to pay attention to his idiots.

Everyone felt that Kou Ji had been treated unfairly in the Great Song Dynasty, and that he should take revenge and show his strength.

Kou Ji also felt at the beginning that he was a traverser, and he was so miserable that it humiliated the traverser's style.

But Kou Ji thought about it later, and felt that it was just a temporary battle of wills, and it was not of any benefit to the nation, nor was it beneficial to the homeland, nor was it good for himself.

If he was to be shocked and swallow the world, the first thing he would do was to slaughter Kou Zhun.

Because as long as Kou Zhun lives, he will never be allowed to do this.

Don't look at Kou Zhun forcing the Great Song Emperor to go to the battlefield, I think that Kou Zhun doesn't have much reverence for the Great Song Emperor.

On the contrary, he was the most supportive of the Great Song Emperor.

Therefore, if Kou Ji wants to create a rebellion against the Great Song Dynasty, he must first kill Kou Zhun.

Secondly, you have to kill your daughter-in-law.

Gotta kill son-in-law.

You have to kill Zhang Zhibai.

Gotta kill Li Di.

Gotta kill Cai Qi.

You have to kill the king.

……

There are too many people to kill, some of whom are closest to him, and some of whom he respects the most.

After taking the country, he had to watch Di Qing commit suicide.

Because Di Qing, who believes in loyalty and righteousness, will be fully loyal after he is fully righteous.

I have to watch Xiang Yan end up depressed.

Because once Kou Ji rebels, Xiang Jiamen will inevitably be beheaded.

I have to watch Kou Hui die depressed.

Because he had to kill Zhao Run.

Kou Ji calculated carefully, after his rebellion was successful, the only ones who could stand by his side and share the fruits of victory with him were Liu Heng and Kou Tianci.

And the fruits of victory are not sweet.

The Great Song Forbidden Army is now fully equipped with firearms.

If Kou Ji wants to take down the Great Song, he must use more powerful firearms.

When a big battle is fought, the Great Song Dynasty will be beaten into a sieve.

After Kou Ji won the Great Song Dynasty, he rebuilt the Great Song Dynasty, and I am afraid he may not have that spare strength.

Because fighting the Great Song Dynasty is far more difficult than fighting the Liao Kingdom, it will take him decades.

Koji himself was not coveted for that position.

There is no reason to fight with Da Song to the end in one breath.

With that mental strength, it is better to take Liu Heng, Di Qing, and maybe Zhang Yuan to invade other places together and carve up other places in the world together.

Together, we will create a better future for future generations.

Hundreds of years later, when the descendants of China mentioned Zhao Zhen, they might call him the first emperor of the ages.

But when it comes to him Koji, he will not hesitate to call him the greatest man in the most reverent tone.

On one side is a beautiful future, and on the other side is a cruel future.

How to choose.

Clearly visible.

Kou Ji has his own mind and his own plan, so he will not be affected by anyone, and he will not ruin everything he is running because of anger.

After Zhao Zhen left, Kou Ji and Liu Heng continued to farm in the greenhouse.

At the same time, people were sent to Leizhou, Jiaozhi and other places to find suitable wasteland.

However, the people who sent out have not yet made it out of the sunrise pier.

appeared in front of Kou Ji again.

He didn't show up alone, he brought a person with him.

The person he brought with him, after entering the greenhouse, walked quickly in front of Kou Ji and bowed down.

"Young Master......"

Kou Ji looked at the weather-beaten face in front of him and let out a long sigh, "Why do you bother? We are no longer master servants.

You and I are now the rulers of the same country, and we should sit on an equal footing. ”

Zhang Yuan straightened up, stared at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "I can have today, it's all from you." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, pointed to the side of his recliner, asked someone to bring a seat, and invited Zhang Yuan, "Sit down and talk." ”

Zhang Yuan was not polite and sat on the seat.

Kou Ji stared at Zhang Yuan and asked curiously, "You don't want to be your lord in Xitianzhu, what are you doing here?" But what trouble did you run into? ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "What trouble can I have?" Gargamel, Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, and the Seljuks are now on the verge of fighting with the Roman Empire and some of the remnants of the previous occupation of Baghdad.

I didn't get involved, I just hid and watched the excitement, waiting for both of them to send me a big gift.

Not to mention how comfortable life is. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully, "The Wall Riding Sect is not easy to do, and it is easy to be destroyed by the other two parties." ”

Zhang Yuan said frankly: "I have formed an alliance with Cao Yu of Dongtianzhu, and the total number of people in my hands is not a lot. They don't dare to trouble me for a while.

Unless there is a winner among them, they won't move me for the time being.

But I don't think it's that easy for them to compete for the winner. ”

Kou Ji looked at Zhang Yuan suspiciously: "Zhu Neng, they are at a disadvantage? ”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "The Roman Empire is not weak. ”

The Roman Empire in Zhang Yuan's mouth is the Eastern Roman Empire, that is, the Byzantine Empire.

An empire with a long heritage will naturally not be weak.

Kou Ji commented: "Zhu Neng and they are still too anxious. They don't have much background, so they dare to fight with an empire that has been inherited for many years, and it is reasonable to be at a disadvantage. ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "They thought that with the help of the Seljuks, they would be able to gallop across the west. But they were inferior to the Roman Empire.

Our caravan in Western Tianzhu has come to the end of the west, and I know everything about the Roman Empire.

So far, the only ones who can destroy the Roman Empire are probably the Great Song Dynasty and ...... You. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why do you think I have the ability to destroy the Roman Empire?" ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "If you take the lead, several of us will definitely follow." I don't dare to say that there are too many, but 400,000 elites can still make it up. With the help of firearms, the combat effectiveness of the 400,000 elites is definitely not small.

What's more, you are in charge of the Chinese army, and we will not mess up, nor will we have our own ghosts. ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Let Zhu Neng and them play with the Romans first." I'm not interested in the Romans for the time being. You haven't said that you came to Qingguo this time, so what's the matter? ”

Zhang Yuan chuckled and said, "I heard that you were unconscious, so I rushed over to take a look." ”

Kou Ji said with emotion: "You rushed to Qingguo thousands of miles just to see me?" ”

Zhang Yuan nodded.

Kou Ji looked embarrassed.

He felt that he had crossed over to a fake Great Song.

The traitors live with affection and righteousness one by one, but the virtuous do not care about affection and righteousness.

Kou Ji stared at Zhang Yuan and teased, "You're here to mourn me?" By the way, want to share the benefits of my legacy? ”

When Zhang Yuan heard Kou Ji's words, he couldn't cry or laugh.

"I used to be your person, and I don't know your character. If you are willing to give me benefits, you will give me if I don't say it. If you don't want to give me any favor, even if I kneel on the ground and break my head, you won't give me half of it. ”

Kou Ji waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, I'll be joking with you, you should be serious." Since you're here in person, I don't have to send someone to find you.

Your men should have told you that they had collected all the seeds for me.

Some seeds are not suitable for planting in Qingguo.

So I need you to bring them to West Tianzhu to cultivate.

Be sure to take good care of them, they are all very useful. ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned and said, "What's the use?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said: "As long as you do what I say and go to collect, I can let you use the boat within ten years, an iron ship, an iron ship that can accommodate many people, an iron ship equipped with all firearms." ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth in shock, "No wonder...... No wonder you asked us to wait a few more years for a good development...... So you've been prepared......"

Kou Ji laughed: "It's a pity that some people don't appreciate it. ”

Zhang Yuan then laughed and said: "That's no way, who made them blind." They've seen so many of your methods. But they still refuse to listen to you, which only means that their greed has blinded their minds.

A group of people whose minds have been blinded by greed are not worth cooperating with, nor are they worth doing great things together.

It's like Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang.

They had already occupied a lot of territory, enough territory for them to digest for many years, but they were still not satisfied.

I want to build an empire comparable to the Great Song Dynasty.

But if the foundation is insufficient, it will collapse sooner or later.

I was an ally with them at first, but when I saw that they were so greedy that I lost my mind, I decisively drew a line with them. ”
