Chapter 149: Explaining the Reason

Chapter 149 explains why

A middle-aged man with a severed left hand and a scar on his face said: "I think it is the right thing to choose General Zhao as the emperor. You see, those foreign businessmen used to look arrogant to our Northern Han people, because our national strength is weak, so they look down on us; since General Zhao destroyed the Jin Dynasty in the first battle, it is really prestigious, and then look at those who looked down on us in the past, but now they don't dare to despise us anymore, whoever dares to offend us will send troops to destroy him!" After speaking, he waved his right hand excitedly, and his face was red with a look of excitement.

"It's a pity that Lao Xu, I accidentally cut off my left hand by the enemy in an encounter, so I was discharged from the army due to injury, otherwise if I had been leading troops to fight, we might also be a lieutenant-level figure. It turned out that he was a retired soldier, no wonder he had such reverence for Zhao Kuangyin.

A Xiucai who looked quite poor in a green shirt retorted: "No, no, everything is inferior, only the book is high, this fight the world depends on the generals, but it depends on us people to sit in the world." Even if Prime Minister Liu Cheng is unwilling to be the emperor, he can also let Xian and others be the chief envoy, the judge of the festival, and even a few old qualified festival envoys can be the emperor, why do you want to choose a martial artist?"

"Although Chen Mou is in the middle of the road, he has also seen the "Art of War" treasured at home, which once said: "The major affairs of the soldier's country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival must not be ignored. Although General Zhao has made great contributions to our Northern Han Dynasty, he does not necessarily know how to govern the country. Again, 'Though the kingdom be great and warlike, it will perish.' General Zhao started with conquest, but did he know that after he ascended the throne and became emperor, he would not exhaust his military force and consume national strength? No, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, and I want to see Prime Minister Liu Chengjin, even if I am convicted for this, I will not hesitate!" This person quoted scriptures, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he actually had a righteous and Ling Ran expression, which seemed to be really concerned about state affairs, without prejudice against individuals.

Zhao Kuangyin listened to it from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel a little touched, although this poor sour man was a little exaggerated, and even more prejudiced against soldiers, but that was also the reason why he didn't know much about information. He didn't know that he was not only proficient in governing the army, but also extremely talented in the art of governing the country, as if he was born with it, and he never made mistakes. Otherwise, how could such a large territory of the Later Jin Dynasty be pacified in just half a year without many riots?

As the saying goes, 'if you listen to both sides, you will be clear, and if you believe partially, you will be dark', and this is also an important skill for the monarch, and he secretly decided that he must give preferential treatment to these people in the future, and allow them to hear about things, so that he can also broaden his information channels, so that he will not become narrow-minded.

After listening to the words of the poor scholar, an old man was reluctant and retorted excitedly: "Old man, I don't know any big truth, but I also know that General Zhao is a good person, and he is a good person with ability;

The people around him were already dissatisfied with the scholar again, but they couldn't think of anything to refute, so they hurriedly spoke out in support of the scholar, and his face turned red with anger, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it. Liu He was deeply loved in the Northern Han Dynasty, and he said that he had said this, and if he continued to refute it, wouldn't it mean that Liu He did not have the ability to understand people? This cannot be said without a clear conscience. So he could only be speechless, and finally snorted and shook his hand away. When everyone saw that the scholar was angry and walked down, they did not care, but continued to discuss what the notice said.

Zhao Kuangyin squeezed in the crowd, did not feel crowded, but felt very kind, he was a poor child, and when he was a child, he also mixed in the market, even after returning from cultivating immortals, he often hid in the mortal world and realized the mortal life. It's just that since the army, the rights of official positions have increased day by day, and they are busy with wars, but they have made secret visits to the people.

Today, we have indeed gained a lot, although these people are all at the bottom of the society, but their thoughts and thoughts are the most simple views, and from their discussions, we can also see the aspirations of today's people.

Zhao Kuangyin listened for a while, and also came to a conclusion from the gossip of these people, that is, most of the people still supported themselves or trusted Liu He's vision, while a small number of scholars and families were not very convinced by their own strength, or they were jealous.

This is also very normal, after all, Liu He single-handedly founded the Northern Han Dynasty, and his conduct and ability are seen by everyone, and no one does not admire him, and he is really the parents and officials of these people, so the people have also won the respect and love of the people; and what is his background in Zhao Kuangyin? To put it nicely, it is a military family, and if it is not good, it is mud legs. Relying on Liu He's attention and his own ability, he has risen to a high position in a short period of time, and now that he is about to become an emperor, how can he not make those nobles and people of the family who think they have noble blood and high talents jealous? Even if he does not dare to refute Liu He's wishes on the surface, he will secretly slander and despise him to vent his anger.

Zhao Kuangyin had expected this, so he was not much surprised. He listened for another half an hour, and felt that he had learned enough information, so he left the crowd and walked towards Liu He's Prime Minister's Mansion, and he still had many questions for Liu He to answer for him.

Zhao Kuangyin went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to the family at the north gate to stop him, it turned out that he was dressed too ordinary, so he was treated as a flat-headed person, and the people naturally would not be put in. It wasn't until he reported his name and showed the general's token that he was allowed to let him go after being identified by the housekeeper who rushed to hear the news.

Along the way, the housekeeper first couldn't stop apologizing, saying that the subordinates had eyes and didn't know Taishan, but also the general Haihan, etc., and then led the way for him, and at the same time, under Zhao Kuangyin's inquiry, he introduced the layout of the Prime Minister's Mansion and some recent events.

Liu He's residence, Zhao Kuangyin, has been here many times, and he is very familiar with it, but what he really cares about is the recent movements of the Prime Minister's Mansion. According to the housekeeper, before Liu He officially announced that he was going to establish the country and let Zhao Kuangyin be the emperor, he had met many military ministers, these people had different official ranks and different rights, but they all had a common feature - high prestige and a lot of power, most of them were old ministers who followed Liu He to start a business.

I heard that Liu He had several exchanges with them, and most of the ministers had talked about it once and left, and there was no big fluctuation, but there were several feudal officials and cabinet elders who seemed to have no agreement with Liu He, and they came here several times and left angrily after the last conversation a week ago, obviously because they disagreed. After that, Liu He's love was not very good, and he often sighed for a long time, and his expression was sad, and after a few handwritten instructions a few days ago, he no longer had any abnormal actions except for going to court on time and handling government affairs.

Zhao Kuangyin heard this, and had a certain guess in his heart, but he didn't say much before the truth was discovered, but came to the outside of Liu He's study under the guidance of the housekeeper. "Master General Zhao is here. The butler shouted respectfully outside the door. "Oh, Zhao Xian's nephew is here, let's come in. Stand back and guard the outside of the house, so that no one can hear me talking. Liu He's somewhat muffled answer came from the study.

"Yes, sir. The butler replied, opening the door again, and leading his hand, "General Zhao entered." After Zhao Kuangyin entered the house, he closed the door again, and then stood outside Sanzhang Kai, guarding the movement outside the study.

After Zhao Kuangyin entered the house, he saw Liu He sitting in a chair, and there was a table next to him, with three large wooden boxes on the surface. Rao is Zhao Kuangyin was calm, raised his eyes, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Liu He's face, only to see that Liu He's face was relaxed at this time, his expression was gloomy, his eyelids were lowered, and he obviously looked overly sad and mentally damaged, where was he still like the gentle and shrewd prime minister he usually was?

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but walk forward and salute, and then asked eagerly: "Uncle Liu, how did you become like this?" Yunlong once served as the west seat of the Liu family, and had a deep friendship with the Liu family, Zhao Kuangyin also received Liu He's unsparing care after joining the army, and the two families had a very deep relationship, so they have always been commensurate with uncles and nephews. Now that he saw that Liu He's complexion was not good, he couldn't help but ask in surprise under his concern.

Liuhe raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Kuangyin's expression did not seem to be fake, but completely from his heart, and a look of relief flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Virtuous nephew, you must already know the news outside at this moment?"

Zhao Kuangyin saw that Liu He's answer was not what he asked, but he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and replied honestly: "The little nephew also just found out Uncle Liu, why did you suddenly make this decision? Could it be Master?" He suddenly reacted, Yun Long had told him about his ascension to the throne and emperor, and he had his own arrangements. And Liu He also mentioned before that Yunlong once told him that the human emperor would appear in the country. Combined with Liu He's actions now, the answer is already out.

"That's right," Liu He nodded, "It is indeed what Daoist You Longzi meant, and after years of observation and testing by myself, I have also determined that Kuang Yinxian nephew, you do have the talent to achieve great things, and what you have done has not disappointed me and Daoist Chief's expectations of you." That's why I made up my mind to make you emperor. Liu He continued.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but nodded, and only in this way could Liu He's previous actions be explained.

"As for why I am like this, it is because I have prepared these gifts for you. After speaking, Liu He raised his hand and pointed to the several wooden boxes placed on the table.

(The first two chapters are a bit boring, there is no fight, the plot is not very easy to write, you Taoist friends, bear with me.) Thank you for the hgdjhk who voted for the monthly ticket, hehe)
