Zhao Guan's family said that they didn't care whether Liu and Ma wanted to do it or not. They ordered the palace guards and Zhai Biao and Xin Wenyu to put out some dumplings and glutinous rice balls for a midnight snack together. They also said: "It's not good not to drink on New Year's Eve. Drink less."
Just don’t get drunk and get in trouble.” After saying that, I got some, saying they were brought from the West Lake in Hangzhou, but I don’t know whether it’s true or not.
Zhao Jiuxian had a drink with the two of them, and suddenly said with emotion: "Yan Xiu is better, Zichong (also known as Ma Kuo) has been to the Kingdom of Jin since he was sent to the Kingdom of Jin thirteen years ago. Except for last year, he has never celebrated the New Year with his family! The old lady at home has
I'm just afraid that there will be too many complaints."
This implies that there were actually no princesses in the Song Dynasty, and the prince's official title was the wife of the country. For example, Zhao Jiu's unlucky first wife, even though she was the royal concubine of Prince Kang, was officially called Mrs. Jia Guo. However, Zhao Jiu has always been a willful person who was granted a feudal title.
Queen Yan also wanted to give her an eighteenth princess. After all, the education he received in his previous life was that my military medals were half as good as yours. However, the resistance was too great. He felt that it was unnecessary to make trouble over this matter, so he dismissed the eighteenth queen.
His mother was granted the title of Princess Dowager, and the ministers were very opposed to the idea of a mother valuing her son. Unfortunately, after inspection, it was found that only Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and Wu Jie's biological mother were still alive. Therefore, the Song Dynasty currently only has
Princess Wei, Princess Korea and Princess Xing.
Even though Ma Kuo had suffered all these years, he couldn't help but shed tears when he heard these words. He said that he had to leave his family to fight the war, but unless it came to a time when he had no choice but to do so, how could he "ignore his parents?"
What's more, Ma Kuo has been alone in the north for more than ten years, surrounded by enemies on all sides. The betrayals and difficulties he has experienced are far beyond the imagination of the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers. Zhao Guanjia could see this when Jianyan met him at the end of the sixth year.
His psychological pressure was too great, and he seemed to still regard the Zhao family and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty as being in the same state as during the Jingkang period. The so-called grand appearance, but the ugly inside. Only dignity and pretentiousness were the most important, regardless of the actual situation ahead. After the Taihang Mountain Rebel Army returned, he
But he was too cautious, fearing that these heroes and martyrs who had narrowly escaped death would not be treated as regular soldiers, so he was careful in his conduct. Under such circumstances, and something like this happened again, it can only be said that he did not collapse, which is a rare sign of firmness, loyalty and reliability.
However, after all, Liu Ziyu became the husband-in-law. He heard too many connotations from the word "old concubine". His face was full of disbelief. After thinking for a long time, he tried to say: "The official family, could it be, could it be that there is
What clue?"
"Of course there is, but the secret must not be leaked for the time being. Today is a festive day and it is rare for us to get together. In fact, I also have a lot to say."
What could Liu Ziyu do? He had no choice but to ask: "Please ask the officials for advice?"
"What are you advising me on? I asked Ziyu, do you know where this palace was originally?"
Who doesn’t know this yet? If Liu Ziyu had followed his previous temper, he would have asked the officials three questions first, but now he didn’t dare. He just said: “This place was originally called Xingqing Palace, and it was originally the vassal of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
The residence of the Tang Dynasty was greatly expanded after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne and became the main palace of Chang'an City. During the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods, it was called the center of the Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji became the Supreme Emperor, and Xingqing Palace became his retirement place.
It was abandoned."
Zhao Jiu sighed and took a sip of cold wine. Feng Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly warmed the wine for him, but he thought to himself: "Yes, I thought Li Longji indulged in pleasure only when he was old and took his daughter-in-law by force.
There were either colorful clothes and plumes or pegasus delivering lychees. These geniuses realized that this man had always been the master of luxury. When he first came to the throne, he gave several brothers separate mansions and moved them to neighboring houses to the west and north of Xingqingfang.
The entire Xingqingfang was changed to Xingqing Palace. Later, Xingqing Palace was built into a court and expanded in scope, incorporating the southern half of Yongjiafang on the north side and the eastern half of Shengyefang on the west side. By the Kaiyuan period
Twenty years ago, a wall was built on the east wall of the outer city, allowing the royal family to directly connect to the Daming Palace and Qujiang Pool from Xingqing Palace. It was really a pleasure. It shows that no one can do it all at once.
It has been dim since the Ming Dynasty, but in the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, the people who were tired from the great construction projects were also covered up. When Tianbao and Hu soldiers fell into the two capitals, it was time to settle the general accounts."
After all, Ma Kuo had not had much contact with Zhao Jiu, so he just nodded "yes". Liu Ziyu had some premonitions as a close minister for many years, but he was not like his old friend and boss Zhang Jun, who would flatter the officials and have money in his stomach but could not pour it out.
On the other hand, Zhai Biao, who was not supposed to speak, said: "In that case, if Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty finally caused the Anshi Rebellion, he could not blame Concubine Yang."
Zhao Jiu Yile said with a hint of drunkenness: "Zhai Xiaojiu, no wonder I intentionally put you out as a deputy commander, but your father is always unhappy. He really loves his son deeply, so you should stay by my side."
Take it with you."
Zhai Biao touched his nose and did not dare to speak anymore, let alone tell the officials. It was not that he was unwilling to be released, but that his father did not agree to it. What could he say about the prime minister's concierge, a seventh-rank official, let alone the official's direct commander in charge of the royal family?
If he dares to leave, don't come back again.
Besides, officials, don’t you often say that I can’t even recognize Chinese characters if I don’t study hard?
Zhao Jiu couldn't help laughing, but he found a pot of Hangzhou wine behind him which he was smelling on the stove. He motioned to Feng Yi to put out a few clean cups, and took advantage of the situation to bring them over directly. Then he poured himself a cup, drank and turned around.
Facing the two important ministers, he ate some more fruit and said, "When I say this, I don't mean to judge the right and wrong of the Anshi Rebellion, nor do I want to use it to laugh at Taishang Daojun's abuse of people's power and the emperor's abuse of people's power.
This is an even more absurd Jingkang Rebellion. It is about self-reflection, at least for now, as an emperor, he can be the master of the world. If he cannot always be vigilant, he has the humility of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and the benevolence and self-discipline of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Even if he was a little cheery in his youth,
, but when old, it will be devastated and blood will flow like rivers. Now I am the emperor, you two Qings, after the Northern Expedition, I am afraid and erratic!"
This statement made everyone confused. Liu Ziyu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why did you say this? You have been on the throne for twelve years, living on mulberry trees and fish ponds. I didn't mention it before, even after the victory of the Northern Expedition, you didn't increase taxes on the people, and you didn't
There is a lot of construction work. I heard that Xianggong Hu and Xianggong Chen are building the new capital, but they are all stretched thin, and it has a little bit of Li Longji's extravagant style." Although it was politically correct to criticize the two sage capitals for the Jianyan dynasty, Liu Xianggong himself
After all, he had been a minister of Taishang Taojun, and now that he had a target, he immediately changed the comparison item.
Ma Kuo also said sincerely: "The official family is indeed too modest. You told me before that you prepared a mansion, but when I returned to Tokyo, I saw that it was actually built by Yanfu Palace View Garden. Not only that, such a huge palace,
You have allocated martial arts to honor the Queen Mother, but if this is still unreasonable, many emperors should die of shame."
Zhao Jiu shook his head and said sincerely: "The erraticness I am talking about does not lie in the form, but in my heart. To put it bluntly, this time, this apology and that apology, isn't the biggest sin my fault? Training
The field army was my idea. Xianggong Liu allowed them to move around Fengxiang Prefecture in Chang'an to supply supplies, and I also agreed. That was what happened that day. If I hadn't acted out of temper and suspended Yang Yizhong for one day, how could he have been cautious based on his caution?
There will be no such commotion, and we, the monarch and his ministers, will be in trouble together!"
Liu Ziyu and Ma Kuo were startled, their eyes moistened almost at the same time. Ma Kuo immediately knelt down and cried: "Guan family, that's not the case..."
"Well, it doesn't have to be like this. I am also a human being, and I will make mistakes as a human being. I used to think that the Song Dynasty was guarded internally and externally, the imperial censor controlled the prime minister, and the prime minister managed the court, but who really controlled the emperor? So I was very cautious.
Years ago, I didn't dare to make mistakes, so that before the Northern Expedition, you more or less heard some rumors. I was worried for a while, and I had to thank the third prince opposite for his coincidence in death. I put down all my worries and sent out troops, waiting for the attack.
After winning, I was worried that the hero would not end well in the future. If Hu Mingzhong had not advised me in time, I would have almost made a fool of myself and chilled everyone's heart. In the past few days, I feel extremely embarrassed and at the same time, I am also thinking about why it has become like this. The situation is obvious.
It's great!" Zhao Guanjia smelled of alcohol, as if he was really drunk.
Liu Ziyu also sat down and knelt down half-kneeling, gritting his teeth and said: "In the official family, although I don't know the rebel army as well as King Xing does. But if I dare to guarantee my life, Shao Long or Liang Xing, even though I am reckless, I am by no means a kingless or fatherless person."
Things. If no one is causing trouble or even provoking it, the five thousand rebels will never perform martial arts in Lishan when you are about to enter Chang'an. If Yang Tongzhi is short of manpower for a while, I am willing to interrogate these thieves for you!" Ma Kuodu was shocked.
Shocked, old enemy, I know you have this ability, but we have to avoid suspicion!
"Yan Xiu doesn't have to be like this. I can imagine what you said. Yang Yizhong will find out sooner or later. But this is just a trail. What I want to say is that I seem to have taken the wrong path in the past two years."
Yes, Zhao Guan's family looked like a drunk cat, but at this moment it was extremely clear. Under the moonlight in Chang'an, in the old palace of the Tang Dynasty, he asked himself: Should the Yellow River be regulated?
The answer is of course it should.
Does that require you, an emperor who knows nothing about water affairs, to watch from beginning to end?
The answer is no.
Yes, he is not arrogant, but as a supernumerary emperor, just like what Ma Yingying said to Han Shizhong and others back then, he is afraid. Afraid of not being able to maintain the friendship between monarch and minister, afraid of how to govern, afraid of facing the devastated land of Hebei and the
The common people are suffering a lot, and they are afraid of how to explain to Bashu in the southeast that they will wait for the stability of the Northeast before reducing taxes... In the final analysis, it is still the pain caused by Mingdao Palace having to take on the responsibility of the world since he came out of the well. He was originally just
An engineering dog who graduates from college and is ready to enter the society!
But after all, isn't he already the emperor? In this era where the constitutional monarchy is still more than 600 years away, no matter how afraid of an emperor with great prestige, can you escape from certain things?
Doesn’t the public cabinet-secret cabinet system need to be maintained? Does the conflict between civil servants and military generals no longer need to be adjusted? The counterattack of the old forces is ignored? Even to a lesser extent, the division of powers and responsibilities between the rebel army and the field army and once Yue Fei is promoted to the Imperial Camp Front Army
The position of the capital? Apart from your Zhao Guan family, can anyone else do these things for you?
