Chapter 111: The Great Wedding (I)

Gao Huan was a powerful minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and held the military power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and his son Gao Yang later replaced the Eastern Wei as the founding emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Kuangyin thoughtfully, and further said:

"Father, you seem to be using Wenchen to restrict military generals, but have you thought about the consequences of this?"

"The consequences, what the consequences, that will only make me a great Song Dynasty for thousands of generations, there is no threat of military generals, how can a civil official be a man, haven't you heard that Xiucai will rebel for three years?"

Zhao Kuangyin recognized that the threat of military generals was even more terrifying, and he really didn't pay attention to civil officials. Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said that the words just now were in vain, you still can't have such thoughts, otherwise it's really dangerous, let's say it again.

"The father's move has caused the civil power to be strong, and the next thing is that the military generals or the martial arts of the whole country will be affected, because they can see from the policies of the imperial court that the country does not attach importance to martial arts but emphasizes literature, then they will abandon literature and follow martial arts, so it is very likely that the people will become disgusted with martial arts."

Zhao Kuangyin immediately took over the conversation:

"What's wrong with this, folk practice has become a trend, this is a sign of the prosperity of a country's culture, you see the Tang Kingdom in the south, the people like literature and hate martial arts, so many years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone is rich, and there are very few people who violate the law and discipline, what's wrong with this?"

Zhao Xu could see that his father was really caught in a strange circle, and he only thought of the benefits of the people's good literary style everywhere, and this old Comrade Zhao began to talk again, and the more he talked, the more excited he became:

"In this way, the people are all good literary style for decades, the folk atmosphere is clear, and the politics are clear, and at that time it will be able to reproduce the Zhenguan rule of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin said this, his eyes lit up, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is what he yearns for, and he also wants to be a good emperor who is enlightened and famous in history, like Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Zhao Kuangyin forgot that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was fought with a knife and a shot, and it was obtained by several foreign wars, and it was only obtained by the tiger and wolf army of the Tang Dynasty who conquered the south and the north

Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "Alas, my father and emperor have ever thought that the people are all practicing literature and do not practice martial arts, so it will inevitably cause the people's bodies to be weak, so what to do if there is an enemy invasion, who will resist it?" ”

"Haha Xu'er, why are you so confused, the so-called soldiers will block, water will cover the earth, my army of the Great Song Dynasty will take on the responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country, this is the duty of a soldier, didn't you and my father and son be born and die for the Great Zhou Dynasty like this?"

Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know why his son keeps saying some inconsequential things today, when the enemy comes, we have knives and guns, do you still need to ask?

"Father, where did my Great Song Army's rivalry come from?"

"Of course, the army of my Great Song Dynasty is from the people recruited by the people, there is no doubt about it." Zhao Kuangyin replied in the affirmative.

"Then the father, the emperor and the people are all abandoning martial arts and following literature, how strong can their bodies be, and can they take on the heavy responsibility of protecting their families and defending the country." Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to speak, Zhao Xu then asked:

"My father may say that we are a conscription system, and soldiers have their own identity, and when they enlist in the army, they can undergo rigorous training, which will definitely improve their physical fitness, and they will soon be able to meet the standard, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin had to nod, he really thought so, being a soldier is only responsible for protecting his family and defending the country, he is responsible for training in peacetime, and he has to go to the battlefield when there is a war.

"What my father said is also very favorable, so I have a question for my father, what are the chances of a bad horse training it for thousands of miles?"

Lao Zhao opened his mouth but didn't say what he wanted to say, no matter how much he trained a bad horse, he couldn't become a thousand miles horse, he seemed to understand what his son wanted to say.

"Just like a bad horse can't become a thousand miles horse no matter how much he trains, a soldier with a weak body, no matter how much he trains, he can't become an excellent soldier, but it can only make his body strong.

The Khitan people live in the grasslands of the north, cavalry is their natural advantage, their soldiers are tigers and bears, different from ordinary people, Zhao Kuangyin has also fought with them, so he naturally knows how they are.

"The long-term weakness of the people in our country has caused the quality of our soldiers to decline, not to mention that we want to unify the world, I am afraid that there are problems in guarding the country, although these are not all caused by your improvement in the status of the literati, but there are a large number of reasons."

"It is necessary to restrict military generals, this is for the needs of centralized power, but the article of not killing scholars and doctors can be removed, the status of civilian officials and military generals is equal, as long as we can use people well, they are not good or bad."

"If you are afraid of a rebellion by a military general, you can reform the military system, and you can set up an institution to educate the soldiers' minds, so that they are loyal to the country rather than a certain person, and at the same time, you can set up a special official position in the army to manage the ideological education of the soldiers in the army."

If you are not careful, the political commissar system of later generations has been rectified, and a party branch of Mao Taizu was built on the company, so that the party can command the gun well, and it is also possible in this era.

Where did Zhao Kuangyin hear such tongue-twisting words, he was confused by Zhao Xu, but he didn't know what to say, and he felt that he really shouldn't make an oath not to kill the doctor as he said.

He didn't know that Zhao Xu used a concept of stealing, obviously a doctor who didn't kill scholars, but this Zhao Xu got it, what not killing doctors would cause the people to be physically weak, and it was involved in national defense.

If it is a modern person, it will soon find that it is boring, but where would Zhao Kuangyin know that he is just confused here, and he feels quite right.

In fact, Zhao Xu wanted to say in his heart the impact of the ban on martial arts, he had seen a martial arts drama before, talking about martial arts people, using martial arts to violate the ban, and banning martial arts was the best choice, but as a result, the forced ban on martial arts made the people of that country weaker and weaker, and they were slowly destroyed by other countries.

Not to mention Zhao Xu's concept of stealing, Zhao Kuangyin was really shaken, he knelt in front of the tablet of his ancestors, and confessed that he almost destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, and soon erased this oath, as for what else was added, Zhao Xu didn't care.

Later, after the release of military power with a glass of wine, the imperial court also issued an edict to encourage the people to practice martial arts, and decided to hold martial arts as important as the imperial examination, which also made an indelible contribution to the Great Song Dynasty becoming a prominent empire.

This is put aside for now, and there are more important things, that is, the prince is going to get married, and he was originally here to worship his ancestors, this is just an episode. Next, I still have to be busy for the big wedding.

Although the Zhao family is royal, they still marry according to the etiquette of the people, but it is more grand than the people, after all, it is the face of the imperial court, but the procedure is a common procedure in the world.

The next day, Zhao Kuangyin wrote a holy decree to let the Ministry of Rites Shangshu go to the Gao family to propose, although they were engaged before, but this time it was to be greatly managed, of course, the gifts brought were not rich, this is the ancient marriage called Nacai.

According to the ancient Zhou rites, there are three books and six rites for marriage, and Nacai is the first step in the six rites, which means that the man wants to marry the woman, and the man sends the matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage, and gives gifts to propose. However, the prince of the current dynasty proposed, this "matchmaker" is not unimportant, Tao Gu who is in charge of the etiquette of the world.

This was originally prepared, of course the Gao family agreed, and then Tao Gu proposed to the Gao family on behalf of Zhao Xu, originally Zhao Xu wanted to propose by himself, marriage is his own business, where to replace it with others, but he was reprimanded by the old queen mother and reads;.

Zhao Xu muttered vigorously; "Who the hell is getting married, isn't it my own business to propose?"

Gao Guiying is destined to be the main wife, that is, the crown princess, so she has such treatment, but you like Fu Yanqing's daughter Fu Xuetong does not have such treatment, but she also sent a prime minister over, and the prime minister is high and powerful, but he is not the person in charge of the etiquette of the world.

As for Wang Ling'er's parents died, and her only grandfather also died, it can be said that she has no relatives, and the queen in the harem is busy with her marriage, of course, it is quite lively.

It took a long time to complete the first step, and Zhao Xu was shouting Why is it so difficult to become a parent, isn't this a toss?

Next, Tao Gu ran back and forth tirelessly and asked for a name, that is, the matchmaker asked the woman's name, Nian Geng and "eight characters", he and Gao Guiying can only be so familiar, what else do you need to ask for a name, this ancient rite is really a toss.

Tao Gu also pretended to ask, and after he handed over the information he got to Si Tianjian, the guy from Si Tianjian shook his head and calculated, and said a good word, Zhao Xu almost spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in anger after knowing it.

This is a formality, this is not a waste of taxpayers, oh, no, is it everyone's time, it is so cumbersome, and he doesn't believe that the people of Si Tianjian dare to say that Gao Guiying and himself are not in harmony, and Fu Xuetong Needless to say, they are also a match made in heaven with themselves.

In this case, it is better to let Miao Xun say, this guy is really good at fortune telling, where is the use of your Si Tianjian. Zhao Xu couldn't help but complain to his father that this was formalism, but his father said that your grandmother was in charge of this matter, I can't ask, Zhao Xu has no choice, let's watch them toss honestly.

Seeing their busy appearance, Zhao Xu was idle, as if he was a person who had nothing to do, as if it was not him who got married.

In fact, he really doesn't need him, Tao Gu is busy with other things, not to mention the wedding banquet, naturally someone will take care of it, and someone will naturally teach him etiquette, and he doesn't need to come forward in person for anything.

Now all he has to do is wait to greet his relatives, and then Baiyun Tiandi enters the cave room, and the rest of the eyes really don't have anything to do with him, isn't it that this guy has nothing to do and actually ran to the harem to tease his little brother to play.
