Chapter 1662: Jiang Fu’s cleverness and the position of king with a different surname
"What do you mean by this, right minister?"
Jiang Fu smiled slightly, "With the power war in the court, do you think that if I appear to be close to Shi Hao and others, your Majesty can still feel free to let me sit here?"
The confidant suddenly realized, "The Prime Minister is really smart. This court can never be a monolithic court, just like the scales. If Shi Hao and others are the things on the plate, the Prime Minister is the weight of the scale."
If this side is high, Your Majesty will press it down, and vice versa! Moreover, although the Prime Minister was recommended by Prime Minister Ye before, he is still unstable. Although this move offended His Majesty, it also won the morale of the army!"
"exactly!"
Jiang Fu laughed and walked out of the court.
Returning to the back hall, Zhao Shen was still smiling happily. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Zhao Ling jumping up to greet him.
"Brother, why are you so happy?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Shen laughed loudly, "It's not that guy from Shen Tang who has given me another problem!"
"The emperor's brother slandering people behind their backs is not what a wise king would do!"
Zhao Ling tugged Zhao Shen's beard and said, "In my opinion, Brother Shen must have made great contributions, so the emperor is so happy!"
"Haha! Okay, okay, Brother Huang was wrong. This time the boy was established and made a huge contribution! He won the entire Lintao Road of the Jin Kingdom for me!"
Zhao Ling had a look of worry on her face when she heard this. She didn't care whether Shen Tang had made meritorious service, she only cared about the danger of sending troops for conquest. She also learned a little about the situation in the North from her sisters' correspondence. It was said that there were soldiers from various countries there. The horse fights in chaos, if Brother Shen is accidentally injured...
Seeing Zhao Ling like this, Zhao Shen smiled and said, "What?
Are you still worried about that kid?
Nowadays, that boy is becoming more and more unpredictable with his troops. Twenty thousand elites of others attacked him, leaving only one or two thousand who ran back.
Furthermore, the people he brought over were all elites from Chengdu Prefecture, totaling 80,000 people, how could something happen?"
"We should worry about this kid's enemies not being bullied too badly by him!"
Zhao Ling puffed up his mouth and said, "Hmph, Brother Shen is beating the enemies of our Song Dynasty and the Emperor's brother. Naturally, the worse, the better, so Ling'er has no time to worry about them.
In my opinion, Brother Shen should teach them a lesson, so that they know how to respect the Emperor!"
"What Ling'er said makes sense!"
Zhao Shen nodded repeatedly, "Although this boy has caused me a lot of trouble, he has also made a great name for himself."
"The Kingdom of Jin, Southern Xinjiang, Dali, Tubo, and now Xia Liao are all beaten by him in turn. By the time of this year's New Year, I'm afraid there will be a few more countries paying tribute!"
Zhao Ling chuckled, "Brother Emperor, you see that Brother Shen is so dedicated to helping Brother Emperor. He can't go home to accompany your sisters during the Chinese New Year. He can only lead his troops to conquer in the freezing north. Shouldn't it be serious? Reward?"
Zhao Shen had a playful look on his face and sighed in his heart, "This girl can't help her brother!"
"Then according to Ling'er's idea, how should the emperor reward him?
Well... for such a great achievement, why don't you give me a king with a different surname?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ling's face suddenly turned red. Zhao Shen had accidentally learned from Qingqiu that Shen Tang had promised that on the day he made great contributions to the country and was crowned king, he would use the throne to marry the princess.
From then on, this became a great weapon for Zhao Shen to tease Zhao Ling.
"What did the emperor say?"
Zhao Lingjiao hum!
"That's right, someone once said wildly that he would trade the throne for my sister. It's simply a wishful thinking! It's as difficult as ascending to heaven to confer a king with a different surname. How could I confer such a title so easily!"
When Zhao Ling heard this, his joy turned to worry. If the emperor's brother stopped him, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven!
"Hahaha!"
Seeing that his sister had fallen into the trap, Zhao Shen, the unscrupulous brother, immediately raised his head and laughed. When Zhao Ling saw this, how could he not know that the emperor's brother was playing tricks on him?
Immediately, who cares whether he is an emperor or not, he went up and pulled two beards off hard, and made the emperor beg for mercy repeatedly before giving up.
Zhao Shen pulled his sister to sit down, and then said with seriousness, "Ling'er, don't worry, this boy Shen Tang is different from others. It is as difficult for others to become a king, but this boy is confident. Otherwise, how can he treat you Promise?
However, after all, he is too young and canonized too quickly now, how can I use him?"
"Let this kid work hard for me for a few more years. By then, will a king with a different surname be able to run away?
Moreover, my Ling'er is just this old, but the emperor still wants to keep you for a few more years.
Otherwise, if you follow that kid and run around all over the world every day, wouldn't it make the emperor's brother think badly?"
If Zhao Shen's words are true or not, is it difficult to be crowned king?
Difficult! It has been difficult in all dynasties! As the top title among the titles, no one will be given the title of King with a different surname without great merit.
However, there are two times when it is relatively easy!
One is of course that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to boost people's morale and motivation, many people were crowned kings for military merit.
The second is when a dynasty encounters disaster and then revives.
Although it is not as good as the founding of the country, there are also successive wars, so military glory is naturally easier to obtain.
But now in the Song Dynasty, there are actually two Wang Zhengming with different surnames hanging around, just to see who can take it.
The first one was set up by Zhao Gou! At the beginning, the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty traveled south, and finally set up a companion capital in Lin'an. In order to boost the morale of the people and the military, Zhao Gou issued a decree to reward those who could drive the Jurchen clan to the north of the Yellow River. Fiefdom, title of king!
If we could drive the Jin Kingdom to the north of the Yellow River, it would mean taking back a large part of our homeland, and most importantly, taking back Bianjing. Such a feat would indeed be enough to make us king.
As for the second one, it is the legacy of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. Those who recover the entire Yanyun land will be rewarded with fiefs and kings! Although Tong Guan used tricks back then and did not regain all the Yanyun land, he still sealed it. A king with a different surname.
If we take back the north of the Yellow River first, and then take back Yanyun, it means that our achievements will exceed those of our ancestors, and the Song Dynasty will also be prosperous. The price of paying two kings with different surnames is not unacceptable, and we are even happy to see its success.
However, except for the possibility of Yue Fei succeeding back then, no one could succeed in sending troops to the north.
But now, there is a Shen Hall.
According to Shen Tang's current plan, he can take back Bianjing and Henan. This is not a boast! After taking Bianjing, if Shen Tang can go further, even if he only conquers part of his homeland and returns, in order to boost the morale of the army, he will really It's not a bad idea to make him a king.
Therefore, Zhao Shen is more confident than anyone else.
Moreover, with the rise of Shen Tang, his control over the court has become stronger and stronger, and there are fewer and fewer old ministers. Even if there is some resistance by then, I am afraid that I can force Shen Tang to be crowned king! After all, now, Now there are Ma Shao and Liu Gong, all of whom were promoted and appointed by himself. Although Shi Hao is an old minister, he has always been close to him.
Outside, Shen Tang is also in charge of military power for him. His throne is no longer as unstable as it was when he took the throne.
