He was just shocked, but there was a noise outside the door, and he couldn't help shouting: "What's going on outside? ”

A few servants stumbled into the room, but they were sweating profusely one by one, and said to him: "There are hundreds of soldiers and generals outside, all of them are brightly armored, and they say that the official family is straight in front of the house, and they are surrounded by water in front of and behind our house." ”

When Zhao Kai heard this, he no longer had any doubts in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down, saluted Zhao Huan and signed up, and everything was based on the ceremony.

Zhao Huan sat down with a smile, and when he finished saluting, he said: "This place is not as good as the court, there is no need to be too polite, sit down and talk." ”

Zhao Kai looked very happy when he saw him, and his speech and demeanor were also very casual, and he was very satisfied with himself after some investigation. While thinking about the emperor's intention in doing this, he replied with words: "The prime minister has no place to sit in front of the Son of Heaven, how dare the minister." ”

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "It is appropriate to see that Qing is decided, he has the right to do things, and he has a very method, how can he be so rigid in front of me." ”

He turned his head to Xue Qiang and ordered, "Come, move a chair for him." ”

Zhao Kai knew that it was not good to resign, although the Song family had the story of Taizu removing the prime minister's chair, but most of the emperors in later generations were humble, and it was common for ministers to sit and talk when they saw it, so they hurriedly thanked the emperor and sat down.

saw that Zhao Huan didn't speak first, but just took the remaining official documents on the copywriting and read them carefully.

At this time, Kang Chengxun and others had already come in, and when they saw the emperor and the ministers talking, they were inconvenient to salute, so they only took a few Mongolian hundred households and stood beside them.

Zhao Kai smelled a burst of fishy smell, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, feeling that the emperor still had barbarians around him as the pre-imperial class, which was too unspeakable. It's just that his city is deep and he refuses to talk much, and his face is also unwavering, so he can't see emotional fluctuations at all.

Zhao Huan took a closer look at the past, but saw that Zhao Kai's characters were not the thin gold characters that were popular at that time, but the teacher's face style, which was written in a simple and vigorous manner, and was wide open.

He looked at Zhao Kai, who was sitting silent, and smiled secretly in his heart.

Words can read people, Rao is this person's current appearance of a good gentleman, in fact, he has his own hills and valleys in his heart, and this hand betrayed him.

He couldn't help but praise it first and said, "Good word!" ”

Zhao Kai got busy and said: "How can the words of the minister be called good, Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang learn words, and they are much more clever than the ministers in terms of attainments, and the ministers are ashamed." ”

Zhao Huan smiled faintly and replied: "For you, it is not a good thing to write well or draw well." ”

Zhao Kai was stunned, but it was difficult to answer.

Zhao Huan looked at it again, and finally put down the official documents, and said with a smile: "Qing's writing is neat, decisive and resolute, no wonder he can manage the wealth of Sichuan and Shaanxi in an orderly manner." ”

"How dare the minister, people say that the minister is a financial officer, but the minister is ashamed, Sichuan and Shaanxi are in the hands of the minister, more and more tired, at this time, the financial resources, the expenses of the government are very difficult, if the army is raised to fight, but it is a little clumsy."

"You are also very difficult, I have seen the situation everywhere, it is very difficult. It is not easy for you to support the supplies of hundreds of thousands of people in ten places. ”

"I'm ashamed."

Zhao Kai knelt down in the end and saluted Zhao Huan and said: "Even so, the minister still has to play Your Majesty, with the strength of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Ten Roads, it is difficult to support a large-scale war." Unless Jiangxi, Jinghu, Zhunnan, Guangnan and other roads all pay taxes to this point, otherwise, the minister asserts, two years later, Sichuan and Shaanxi may be in turmoil. ”

He said this, although it was true, but it also meant to test the emperor's plans for the ninth brother who was far away in Hangzhou.

I thought that the emperor would be annoyed and even reprimand him, but I saw Zhao Huan smile slightly and replied: "I won't raise the army for the time being, and I already have a plan in my heart about the matter of wealth." ”

In fact, he has a lot of questions, and there are also many modern financial methods, but he thinks about them from left to right, some of them are too advanced and not suitable for modern times, and some of them are not urgent, and it is difficult to implement them quickly. Moreover, he has not long returned, and his foundation is unstable, and there are many things that cannot be taken too seriously, lest they be truthful.

As for Zhao Gou, he can't be in a hurry.

At least on the surface, he couldn't reveal his plan to deal with this ninth brother at all, and even no matter who came before or after, he would never accuse Zhao Gou.

He also knew that Zhao Kai had just been tempted, and he also had the intention of serving himself.

After all, when he returned to Guanshan first, the generals of the Western Army saw that they were in front of the enemy in person, and they were already determined to serve him. As for the two ends of the first rat, wandering back and forth between Zhao Gou and him, when he returns to Xi'an this time, he will naturally take care of it.

As for Zhao Kai......

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, and said to him: "Qing's long talent, I already know. Sichuan and Shaanxi have a lot of power to Qing, and the world will also be able to benefit from Qing in the future. ”

After that, he got up and said: "Since you have come to Chengdu, you naturally want to meet the prefect and other officials." In the meantime, I will no longer be on patrol. ”

Zhao Kai also hurriedly got up, thinking about the emperor's words in his heart, and persuaded at the same time: "Your Majesty's micro-service patrol, although it can visualize the people's feelings, it is too dangerous. “

Zhao Huan has recently read some of the emperor's living notes at that time, and when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Taizu also used to travel in micro-suits back then, and some ministers persuaded him, he said: Zhou Shizong listened to the rumors back then, thinking that it was the one who took away his world, and he killed a lot, but I have been fine by his side, which shows that the emperor has his own destiny." ”

Zhao Kai froze slightly, and wanted to say that Taizu was heroic, and the emperor could not be compared with him. However, thinking that the thin emperor in front of him had the courage to beat the drum in front of the battle array, these words welled up in his throat, but he swallowed it back.

At that moment, the monarch and the ministers went out and went to the prefect's mansion in Chengdu together.

The people of the city had already arrived with the emperor at this time, but the city was full of sensations, and hundreds of thousands of people poured out of the streets and alleys, crowded around Zhao Kai's mansion.

There was no forbidden army in the Chengdu garrison, only some box troops and firefighting troops, who got the military order at this time and hurriedly came out to maintain, but they could only barely squeeze a passage around the crowd.

Kang Chengxun and the others were sweating profusely, and persuaded Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, let's wait for the crowd to be dispersed and clean the streets, and then go to the prefect's yamen." ”

Zhao Kai also said: "How can there be any reason for Your Majesty to go to see the courtiers, it is better to summon the officials of Chengdu Mansion together and meet them in the courtiers' mansion." ”

They felt scared, but Zhao Huan only felt that such a situation was extremely rare.

He saw countless officials, generals, soldiers, and people who were treated as soldiers, and when he entered Xi'an, there were tens of thousands of forbidden troops and imperial squads who opened the road, and all the people knelt on both sides of the road, or closed their doors, and were not allowed to see the face of the Son of Heaven.

And only in such a casual place, the sudden outbreak of emotion is the embodiment of the most real emotions of people in the world.

After all, the Song family has not lost the hearts of the people.

The gray-haired old man, trembling and standing on both sides of the road, the child who was still a child, riding on his father's shoulder, whispered something to ask.

Zhao Huan stood on a high place, and at a glance, it was just a black head, first noisy, and then under the scolding of the Xiang army, it had gradually become silent.

He stopped Kang Chengxun, who was still persuading, and rode the white horse led by the guards first, turned over and rode on, and rode the horse first.

Seeing him like this, the remaining hundreds of squad guards did not dare to slack off, and were eager to keep up. Zhao Huan waved his hand slightly, ordering them not to follow too closely.

Seeing that he was so close to the people, he was not afraid, but the hundreds of thousands of people in the city who rushed to watch shed tears. When the emperor got a little closer, he shouted long live one mountain after another, and knelt down.

Zhao Huan smiled, but walked slowly in the row of kneeling crowd.

Kang Chengxun and the others followed, but they pinched a cold sweat on their hands.

When they arrived in front of the prefect's office, the crowd around them was finally blocked, and all the people who knelt down around were officials in official robes.

Kang Chengxun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and personally stepped forward to help Zhao Huan dismount.

He couldn't help complaining: "The official's move is too risky." ”

Zhao Huan shook his head lightly and said to him: "Training, the people's hearts can be used." I have too many things to do, but I can only let people know that I have won the hearts of the people of the world, and when I do things, there will be much fewer constraints. ”

He was excited for a while, but he couldn't help but tell the truth to the leader of the guards.

The will of the people is really a difficult thing to guess.

There are very few successful people in history who do not take advantage of the people's will. In ancient China, there were too few monarchs who were good at this, and they were almost negligible.

Zhao Huan's view all the way, coupled with the evaluation of the Song Dynasty in history, has gradually made him have an obvious evaluation of the current situation. How to proceed next, there are already some abdominal cases.

And in the environment where Zhao Gou was not eliminated, and the Song Dynasty was accustomed to Dr. Youlishi for a hundred years, how to change the accumulated shortcomings and be ruthless, but it also really taught him to be difficult.

Since the will of the people is available, then use the will of the people and tie the people to his own chariot, but what does it matter.
