As for Gao Shi, the palace maids and Xiao Huangmen, Zhao Yun gave them a few days of leave early and let them go home to reunite. Some of their homes were far away and they couldn't go back, so they got together to cook and have a happy meal.
Endless.
After the reunion dinner, Zhao Yun took his mother, Zhao Quanshi, to the square in front of the Chui Gong Hall. Here, there were already dozens of small Huangmen and palace maids busy setting off fireworks and firecrackers.
The younger brothers Zhao and Rui were shouting loudly and chasing the maids and ladies around. Laughter filled everyone's faces.
Many people feel that on this day, the palace has never been so humane.
"Boom,,boom,"
"Boom,,boom,"
Fireworks rushed into the sky one after another, blooming in the dark night, turning into beautiful scenery and streamers. Zhao Yun and his mother watched, Xiaohuangmen and the palace maids watched, and the people outside the city watched. Every time the fireworks bloomed, many people watched.
I clapped my hands happily, jumped and laughed. It was a great time to celebrate the New Year. No matter how crazy or noisy I was, no one would care about me.
The next day, this day is the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Hengsheng. This is the reign name of Zhao Yun, and a new era begins.
No one yet knows the difference between this era name and the past era names, but only those who have experienced this era name will find that this is a changing era.
Zhao Yun stood on the wall of the palace all night, watching the sun rise slowly, and his heart was filled with excitement. This is his reign, this is his own era.
In the Hengsheng Era, everything in this era begins with General Zhao Yun.
It's the New Year, and every household is busy paying New Year greetings and sending blessings to relatives and friends. But at this time, a motorcade is walking on Lin'an Street. Looking at the size, there are more than a hundred vehicles, packed with cars.
Seeing this, Cui Yu looked at the direction of the convoy. It was clearly coming out of the treasury, but it was going out of the city. Cui Yu was surprised and thought, where is this going? Why doesn't he know about such a large team?
In desperation, Cui Yu went to the house of Cheng Bi, the third minister, to inquire.
The two exchanged holiday greetings, and Cui went straight to the point with him, saying: "I saw a motorcade leaving Lin'an today. Why is that?"
Cheng Bi was stunned and asked in confusion: "Mr. Cui, the government wants to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin. Didn't the government discuss this matter with you? All that is shipped out are military pay and equipment."
"What, starting a war with the Kingdom of Jin!"
Cui Yu was extremely surprised, his face full of disbelief. He didn't know what Zhao Yun was going to do, but he did such a big thing recklessly without consulting him. The political affairs hall didn't know anything about it.
Simply unheard of.
Seeing Cui Yu's reaction, Cheng Bi guessed that Zhao Yun had decided on such a big matter without consulting Cui Yu at all, and was shocked.
Cheng Bi worriedly said: "Mr. Cui, the officials are acting arbitrarily and starting a war in vain. As ministers, we should give timely advice and do our duty as ministers."
Cui Yu said seriously: "Mr. Cheng, please don't make any noise about this for the time being. I will go to the palace to ask the officials."
After saying that, Cui Yu left in a hurry.
At this time, Zhao Yun was fishing in the Funing Hall Garden, and his younger brother Zhao Yurui was chatting and joking with Zhao Yun and asking questions.
A fish came over to bite the bait, and just as Zhao Yun was about to pull up the fishing rod, Zhao Yurui actually picked up a stone and threw it over, scaring the fish away.
Zhao Yun smiled and scolded: "You guy, if you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house and uncover the tiles."
How could Zhao Yurui be afraid? He smiled and said it was not intentional, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's because you don't know how to fish, so you let me do it."
As he spoke, he came to snatch the fishing rod from Zhao Yun's hand. Zhao Yun couldn't do anything to him, so he gave it to him.
At this time, a Xiaohuangmen came over and said something in Gao Shi's ear. Gao Shi took a few steps forward and said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cui wants to see you."
"Why is he here?"
After wondering, Zhao Yun smiled. Military pay and equipment were shipped today, and he guessed that Cui Yu was most likely here for the affairs of the Jin Kingdom.
Zhao Yun smiled and scolded Zhao Yurui: "You guys are fishing hard, but if you can't catch anything, you will be hungry today. I will go and come back."
After saying that, Zhao Yun went to Funing Hall.
Zhao Yun walked into the Funing Palace and saw Cui Yu waiting there like an ant on a hot pot. He was amused and said, "What's going on with the Qing family? Why are you so eager for the New Year?"
Cui Yu saluted hurriedly and spoke very quickly: "I have met your Majesty. Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to war with the Kingdom of Jin. May I ask your Majesty if this is the case?"
"It is indeed true, but you don't have to worry about the Qing family. I have already discussed this matter with the Han Qing family and there will be no problem."
Zhao Yun's calm appearance was in sharp contrast to Cui Yu's eagerness.
Cui Yu's face was full of urgency and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you discuss such a big matter with the courtiers? It has only been four years since the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom stopped fighting. We also need to recuperate and recuperate. Now we are starting to start the war. Isn't it necessary?
Increase the burden on the people and put the country in danger."
Zhao Yun grabbed a handful of fried melon seeds next to him and ate a few. They were a bit salty, "Qing, would you like to try these melon seeds? They taste good."
"Your Majesty, I am talking to you about business."
"Haha, the Qing family is worrying too much. I am the first to ascend the throne. If I am not sure, how can I go to war with the Kingdom of Jin?"
Zhao Yun stood up, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Qing family, before you said that my heart was not strong enough. I thought about it for a long time, and I figured it out. I think your idea is biased.
You think that I cannot bear to kill people because I am soft-hearted and prone to bad things, but I later figured out that whether I am hard-hearted or not should not be judged by how many people I kill, and whether I succeed or not should not be judged by whether my heart is hard or not."
Cui Yu was surprised. Zhao Yun's words surprised him even more than when he knew that Zhao Yun was going to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin.
Cui Yu raised his hand and said, "I dare you to ask your Majesty for advice."
Zhao Yun calmly and confidently said: "I have figured it out. I believe that if a person wants to achieve great things in his life, the greatest reliance is not his identity or his determination, but his experience.
Only when a person has experienced wind and rain can he bravely face the storm and enjoy the breeze and beautiful scenery with peace of mind.
My determination to reform has not changed, because the Song Dynasty cannot change the law, but now is not the time. What I need now is experience. I want to experience everything an emperor should experience.
Only then can I know what to do when I encounter something. Only when my experience is richer and I have a life path that others cannot despise can I steadily implement reforms."
Cui Yu was shocked. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yun, his eyes filled with luster and excitement.
At this moment, Cui Yu felt that Zhao Yun was more mature and sensible than before, and was no longer the arrogant young man who would fight with heaven and earth as soon as he came on stage. This chapter has been completed!
