Chapter 85: Another Thirty Years
‘The next day, the heaven and earth were in the same cup, and the Buddha fell.’
‘Then His Majesty the Emperor announced his retreat, and the whole world was silent.’
——"Records of the Forbidden Palace of the Great Song Dynasty"
If the wind and rain blow, life will eventually turn into a piece of loess.
Not only was the first-generation chief minister during Zhao Wuyou's reign, but Kou Zhun and others had passed away, but even the second chief minister Feng Yang had already become an ancient figure at this time. Now the head of the court is the top scholar in the imperial examination who was personally demoted by Zhao Wuyou.
This person who is the real person who came first and finally took the lead in the position of chief assistant... Zhuge Wolong!
After all, the first step to enter the cabinet was the Tanhualang Pu Songzhi, who was the subject. However, this person finally became the second-ranked person in the cabinet. He had no complaints yet, but the world couldn't understand.
However, many of these things have passed many years, and now that future generations trace back, they can see the profound meaning of the arrangements of His Majesty the Emperor back then.
Different from the subsequent subjects.
If the Jinshi in this subject is not demoted and goes directly to the bottom to experience it, it is probably difficult for them to compete with those Jinshi in the court, and even go step by step, and surpass many officials who have received new college education and scientific examinations.
This profound meaning can only be slowly reflected after decades of experience.
The layout of the Emperor of Human Emperor was profound and shocking.
...
"Your Majesty...It's the Lantern Festival again..."
An eunuch came forward. The eunuchs in the imperial palace compound are all orphans taken in by the royal family. Occasionally, some eunuchs or physically disabled people have been granted martial arts and restored their normal movements, or those who have the opportunity to return to normal in the future are basically considered retainers of the royal family.
However, there is only one left in Kailiang Palace who can be called His Majesty except for the emperor who has been in seclusion for decades.
The prince back then, the emperor of the Song Dynasty today... Zhao Hao!
With Zhao Wuyou's backing, Zhao Hao not only separates himself from the previous Xiaocao, but also has a perfect bloodline, so it is natural to ascend to the throne.
Anyway, Zhao Wuyou had already prepared the edict, and when it was used, he would follow Zhao Hao himself.
He also came out to practice until he was twenty years old, and then he broke away from Xiaocao's body and entered Kailiang City completely, becoming the new Emperor of the Song Dynasty after Zhao Wuyou.
Zhao Wuyou still occupies the throne of the Human Emperor and becomes the supreme emperor of the Song Dynasty.
No one cares about this...
After all, when he was in power, except for the first ten years, he was almost in charge.
The cabinet system established is supervised by multiple parties, and its power is dispersed, so you can't do anything you want.
Not to mention the power he left to the royal family, the Jinwu Guard, the Wind Catcher, and the Black-clothed Knife Guard, all of which make people dare not overcome.
Therefore, more than twenty years have passed since Zhao Hao ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty has been in a state of rapid development, except for its continued expansion of territory.
It makes people shocked.
You should know that development is not easy, and the development of a country is even more difficult.
Often, it has been a very prosperous country's destiny for 30 years. Today, the Song Dynasty has been developing and improving for nearly 50 years. It is now running wildly on the road of rapid development of Jiazi.
Even those practitioners have experienced many changes in dynasties and have never seen such a thing.
The countries during the ancient Holy King period did not show such a terrible situation, otherwise why would they have to leave every time the whole country escaped from the border?
It has not yet developed to one end or one limit in this world, and there is no room for development.
Only by leaving this world, looking for other worlds to integrate civilization, and finding points where the country can continue to develop.
But the Song Dynasty is different. The development points left by Zhao Wuyou in this world seem to have not been used up yet and can still be developed.
The madmen from the Ministry of Works have set their sights on the earth and the nine heavens, and even the terrifying ocean is in their development list.
Countries in the Western Regions began to surrender continuously, without sending troops to fight. Just going out for a tour, they could already attract many tribes to surrender.
The northern grasslands are also expanding. If it weren't for the wilderness and the world is still expanding, I'm afraid many fleeing wilderness tribes would not know where the world could go.
The islands were developed, which was considered a place where miasma was spread over the past decades, and have become the center of new economic development.
Various overseas commodities continued to appear in the Song Dynasty, and the reform of the Ministry of Works, the use of land, and the new seeds of farmers were all able to have extra money once again while ensuring that the people of the Song Dynasty had enough food.
The development of commerce has also made various festivals today particularly popular and attracting attention.
This time it is approaching the end of the year, and preparations are also started for the most grand Lantern Festival every year, so the servant came to the imperial study room to ask about Zhao Hao.
When Zhao Hao heard the question from the servant, he was stunned, then walked out, looked out from the height of the imperial study room, and could see signs of lights and decorations.
"It's another year of the Lantern Festival..."
The servant walked up to him.
"Did Your Majesty remember the Supreme Emperor again?"
Zhao Hao chuckled.
"You won't believe it. It's only a year since I met the Supreme Emperor, but what the Supreme Emperor taught me was that I hadn't finished learning in the past few decades..."
His eyes looked at the huge lamp that had risen, swaying and floating in the night sky.
Kailiang City, which has been using electric light for 20 years, can only see such a scene during the Shangyuan Festival.
It has also become the reason why Kailiang City attracts a large number of people at this time of year.
"Are you done as planned in previous years? The wind arrester, have the staff of the Ministry of Justice arranged?"
Every year, it is a festival that gathers at least millions of people, and it is also the time when the guards in Kailiang City are most in short supply every year.
Fortunately, there have been many years of examples and they can be arranged well.
With the decree of the 365 divine thrones back then, the gods of the Song Dynasty are almost all under Zhao Hao, especially the ones who led the previous dynasty, Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun, and Wen Zheng, Duke Feng Yang.
"Your Majesty has already arranged it..."
The servant bowed his hand and signaled that everything was arranged.
Then I saw Zhao Hao bowing from afar.
"I'm going to have trouble again, Mr. Wen Zheng and Mr. Wen Zheng!"
Two old men with extraordinary divine lights and extraordinary demeanor stepped out of the void and returned a bow.
"I dare not, my Majesty is so serious. This is our duty!"
Then he returned to the temple.
Zhao Hao was not surprised, even the eunuchs around him were no longer surprised.
"Thirty years have passed..."
Chapter completed!
