Chapter Eighty-Four: Monarchs and Ministers Work Together
The two didn't say a few words, only to see a chamberlain hurriedly run out of the cabinet and shout on the steps: "The official family has a rumor to see Fei Lun." β
"Feren is here."
Seeing him shouting, Faeron hurriedly stepped forward and agreed.
When the chamberlain saw Fei Lun, a smile already appeared on his face, and he hurriedly bent down and led Fei Lun to the left wing of the pavilion.
This pavilion is Zhao Huan summoned officials to deal with government affairs, although it is not the main hall, but it is also a grand and tall, the pavilion is divided into five, in addition to Zhao Huan often do things to see people's left compartment, the rest of the rooms also have a lot of Hanlin bachelors or in the middle of the book to know the system in the side hall waiting, waiting for the emperor to consult and prepare questions, the side wall of the main hall, there is a map, the sand table under it is lined up in the camp pan city, the sign is clear, there are several senators of the Privy Council at any time to advisers, to explain to the emperor the war situation in various places.
Seeing Fei Lun coming in, everyone in the cabinet had something to do, and besides, it was inconvenient for the emperor to salute at his side, so they each smiled and nodded to Fei Lun to show their friendliness.
Fei Lun knew that the officials in this cabinet were extraordinary, although the official positions were all middle- and lower-level ministers, in fact, they were extremely powerful, and they were also highly trusted by the emperor, and they did not dare to slack off at the moment, but also nodded and smiled, and they were polite.
When he arrived at the door of the side room where Zhao Huan lived, he stopped, adjusted his appearance slightly, and then strode in. After entering, he didn't have time to take a closer look, only knelt down calmly in front of the chair where Zhao Huan usually sat down, saluted while saying loudly: "Chen Feilun has seen Your Majesty." β
"Oh, it's Faeron here, get up and sit down."
As soon as Fei Lun got up, he only felt that Zhao Huan's voice was as usual, and he didn't feel angry, so he put his mind at ease at the moment.
After getting up, he saw that Zhu Zhen was not only in the cabinet, but also a young official on the right side of the emperor's body. Dressed in a purple robe, he held several documents in his hands. Reading with my head down. When he saw Pheren looking at him, he smiled and greeted him. Fei Lun also hurriedly returned the salute, this person is the signing of the Privy Counsel Yu Yunwen, who in the whole world does not know, this person is the most trusted by the emperor, many confidential military affairs. Not even a few privy councillors knew that this person was involved.
He nodded to Yu Yunwen, and when the waiter brought a chair, he sat down carefully, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Zhao Qi say slowly: "Zhu Qing." I already know that at this time, the founding of the country is still in his infancy, and in a few years when he comes out to give lectures, I will definitely choose Qing as the lecturer, and there is no need to say much now. A child who can just walk, what a crown prince! β
Fei Lun was startled, knowing that this Zhu Zhen asked to see him today, and it turned out that he was mentioning the matter of establishing the crown prince again, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at the emperor, only to see that although Zhao Huan was frowning, he was not angry.
Zhu Zhen is not like Fei Lun, who cares about Zhao Huan's emotions. After the emperor finished speaking, he replied with his own thoughts: "Although the founding prince is young, there are often emperors in the history books who become the crown prince as soon as the emperor's eldest son descends, and at this time the world is in turmoil. There are many rumors in Chang'an and other places, and the minister thinks. In order to settle the world, it is best to establish a prince early. β
Zhao Huan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
His son, of course he liked. If the relationship failed in the previous life, and the woman in this life is at her fingertips, regardless of the feelings, his own blood and blood, his own biological son, is still his emotional sustenance.
Since Zhao Dun came to the world, Zhao Huan's biggest pleasure every day in addition to official duties is to tease his son and watch him grow up day by day, from a crying child to a staggering child.
At the same time, the family of the Son of Heaven could not be compared with ordinary people, and as soon as this son fell into the grass, he received the attention of the whole world. When Zhao Huan was the crown prince in Tokyo, he had two sons and a daughter, but Tokyo fell, and several children were pampered since childhood, where could they endure the pain of thousands of miles of bumps, and died in a few years, so that Zhao Dun was the only heir to the royal family of the entire Song Dynasty, and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders was no longer something that a child less than a year old could bear.
Zhao Huan knew that with his own strength, it was not possible to change the feudal legal system passed down from family to family in a short period of time, and it was impossible to turn the imperial system into a republic, although he often loved this son with the eyes and practices of a fatherly like the people, and he knew in his heart that Zhao Dun would have to bear his responsibilities in a few years.
And at this moment, he would rather let his son enjoy a little more innocent fun, rather than live in a Gong cage since he was a child like the real Zhao royal family.
With such a mind, after the eldest son was named the founding prince according to the convention, Zhao Huan refused to go further, and named Zhao Jiao as the crown prince, even though it could help to calm people's hearts, and he Ya was unwilling to use this power technique of weighing the pros and cons of the world on his son.
Glancing at Zhu Zhen, who was full of stubbornness, Zhao Huan understood in his heart that although the other party was just a secretary and a young eunuch with low taste, he was indeed a lecturer serving the scriptures, and he could speak to the emperor without being reprimanded according to the convention, and Zhu Zhen himself was a master of scripture, and there would definitely be one of him in the biography of Song Shi Confucianism in the future.
Even if it is a prestigious study class, it will not have any intimidating effect on such a great Confucian minister.
"Alas......"
Zhao Huan let out a rare sigh, and said to Zhu Zhen with a wry smile: "I understand what Qing means, and in a while, how about it?" β
As an emperor, if he agrees to speak like this, although Zhu Zhen is a well-educated Confucian, he is not too much, and immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, since Your Majesty said so, the minister does not dare to say it again." β
"Okay, you can step down."
"Yes, the minister retired." Zhu Zhen bowed to the ground, got up and withdrew.
Although he persuaded Zhao Huan to establish the prince, there was no joy on his face, and he didn't greet Fei Yu and the others, so he retreated.
Seeing Zhu Zhen calmly withdraw, Zhao Huan smiled and said casually: "Confucian ministers are also divided into true Confucianism and false Confucianism, some people are full of Confucius and Meng, but for the sake of the land, it is only himself." Distorting the scriptures and selling his private goods, I don't like such a person very much. Zhu Zhen is like this, he has no talent to govern the world, and he can't lack it around him, dare to top the monarch, dare to tell the truth, there is no Haoran righteousness, it will not work. β
In fact, Zhao Huan knew in his heart that Zhu Zhenshi was a little unsatisfied, that is, in addition to establishing the prince, he wanted to invite himself to establish the queen, so as to put an end to the gossip of people in the world. It's just that the other party is a well-educated Confucian, and it is different from the prince after the establishment, it is a standard imperial family matter, so Zhu Zhen hesitated again and again, and finally did not mention it, turned around and retreated.
He sighed like this, Yu Yunwen is also a serious Confucian disciple, and he just laughed when he heard it, but Fei Lun was uncomfortable with the boss, and immediately got up and said: "The minister has been entrusted by His Majesty, and he originally boasted of his talent for governing the world, but now he will never dare to be." He also asked His Majesty to punish the crime severely, and the minister was willing to hand over the dispatch of the Pedestrian Division and go to the good student to study for two years. β
"Confused!"
Talking to Fei Lun, Zhao Huan was not as polite as he was to Zhu Zhen, and when he finished speaking, he paused and reprimanded.
"Yes, the minister is confused and incompetent."
"No, it's not your fault, it's not that you're confused, you don't understand what I mean, and you don't dare to think about it, so I just felt it, in fact, it's you."
Zhao Huan stood up, went to De Feilun, and looked in front of this guard henchman general who was wearing an ordinary forbidden army cotton robe and had a puzzled look on his face.
Seeing that his eyes were soft, there was no sarcasm and resentment, but Fei Lun was even more "confused", and said with Ai Ai: "Your Majesty's words, the minister really doesn't understand." β
Zhao Huan sighed, pressed Fei Lun's shoulder, and asked, "Fei Lun, how long have you been following me?" β
"The minister has followed His Majesty for three years since Jingkang."
"It's been three years. You were only a child of seventeen or sixteen, and now you are in your early twenties, because you are like-minded in danger, so I trust the pedestrians, and teach you some espionage methods, I think that with my trust, your loyalty, in a few years, this pedestrian division can see the world as nothing, don't you know, this is too naΓ―ve, too underestimate the heroes of the world. β
"Your Majesty!"
Faeron was distraught and shocked. Before seeing Zhao Huan, he was afraid that his errand would be inappropriate, and the emperor would punish him, but the emperor not only did not scold, but blamed himself so much.
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Huan stopped Fei Lun and said: "This time the rumors are spreading, and even the Xia soldiers have invaded the territory, in fact, they are all the enemy's serial schemes, and they have been slightly declining on the frontal battlefield, my Great Song Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, as long as the people are united, the two countries will still have contacts within a year of this battle, what about three years?" What about five years? There are also people of insight in the Jin Kingdom, if not, they would not have destroyed Da Liao in a few years. They sent out a lot of work, spread rumors, bribed my ministers and local guards, and hit me in the soft underbelly with every blow, and for two or three months, I could hardly spare my hands to do anything else. β
Speaking of this, Zhao Huan's tone was heavy, he sat down in a depressed seat, and said with his hand: "I am too careless, and I am too self-conscious." You are too young, although you are capable, I have never given you real support, less than 2,000 pedestrians, many of whom are soldiers, and the funds are also limited, how can you handle the spy of the whole world. β
What Zhao Huan said, Fei Lun originally thought about it in private, but since they followed the emperor with a group of half-grown children, Zhao Huan has been possessed by his soul, and every gesture is full of deep meaning and no mistakes, with his mind and knowledge, how dare he doubt the emperor's decision, so he has to do his best to do more with his own strength, in order to live up to the emperor's trust.
At this time, Zhao Huan admitted his mistake in person, Fei Lun's original worry was gone, and he was also very self-blaming, thinking of Zhao Huan's emotion, he felt even more ashamed, and couldn't help crying.
Zhao Huan didn't make a sound, just waited for Fei Lun's mood to calm down, Fang Dao: Training, the pedestrian division should be overhauled, and the army will be strategic, some people question the role of the pedestrian division, in fact, they are stupid, the whole country fights, and then moves, and it is necessary to collect the economy, people's livelihood, garrison, official governance, and even the small people in the family, so that we can know the other. β
His tone turned calm, only looked at Fei Lun and said: Xun, you don't have to doubt yourself or doubt, I have suffered this loss, our monarchs and ministers will work together, and we will go back one day. β
