After a brief absence of consciousness, Xu Xi immediately remembered her responsibilities, so she quickly sent someone to inform the king of the inner palace who had been guarding outside the palace to observe the regulations. She got up, came to the bed, and bowed respectfully: "
Lord, I have come to take the pulse of the Lord..." "Yes!" Behind the bead curtain, the childish voice suddenly sounded: "Thank you, Hanlin!"
Xu Xi was shocked when he heard this, and the shock and awe in his eyes became even stronger.
So, he tiptoed forward, not daring to raise his head at all, and carefully opened the bead curtain.
But at this moment, a small hand gently stretched out in front of his eyelids.
The white and tender little hands were warm, but in Xu Xi's eyes, they were like palms holding up the sky!
The Hanlin medical officer, who had read poetry and books, couldn't help but think of various descriptions in history books.
"Gao Xin was born as a spirit and spoke his own name. He gave alms to others but did not touch his body. He was clever enough to know the distant things, and wise enough to see the subtle things..." This is what the historical records say.
"The mysterious bird of destiny descends and gives birth to Shang!" This is the description in the Book of Songs.
Since ancient times, most saints, kings and heroes have similar records and descriptions.
This is also one of the tenets of Confucian piety: the connection between heaven and man!
This is the truth!
The undeniable truth!
As a result, Xu Xi's hands trembled a little.
His heart was beating even more!
"Hanlin doesn't have to be so formal!" Zhao Xin looked at this imperial doctor whom he was so familiar with in his previous life, sighed in his heart, and opened his mouth to comfort him.
In his heart, he knew very well that the path he had chosen was the right one.
Although there is some cheating.
But if you want to do great things, you have to cheat!
You must use these strategies to build momentum and authority for yourself!
This way you can avoid making the same mistakes again!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin's eyes became firm, and the aura he had cultivated over decades of reigning over the Song Dynasty in his previous life gradually dissipated.
Xu Xi in front of him felt as if the little child in front of him was as powerful as the sun and difficult to look at directly.
Of course, much of this is psychological.
He tremblingly placed his hand gently on the pulse of the small hand in front of him, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then closed his eyes, felt the pulse, for a long time Xu Xi opened his eyes incredulously, and looked at the sight of a new life.
The ordinary Duke of Shou couldn't help but kneel down and worship: "Duke...you...you..."
Xu Xi remembered clearly that in the evening this evening, he had just taken the pulse of the Duke, who was unconscious due to serious illness.
At that time, the Duke's pulse was undetectable, his breathing was weak, and he was like a candle's light, exhausted.
but now……
The Duke's pulse was steady, his breathing was gentle, his eyes were bright and his face was rosy... He did not look like a terminally ill person at all, let alone a child who had been bedridden for nearly half a month and had been unconscious for several days.
I am afraid that even a normal two-year-old child or even a three- or four-year-old child may not be in better health than this Duke!
This can no longer be described as a miracle.
It can only be expressed as a miracle!
"How is it?" Zhao Xin asked with a smile, pretending to be mysterious.
"The Duke of Qianqiu!" Xu Xi knelt down tremblingly. Although there were thousands of words in his chest at this moment, when the words came to his mouth, there were only these four words left!
Zhao Xin smiled and looked at Xu Xi in front of her, with a hint of interest in her eyes.
Xu Xi's reaction was completely within his expectation, because it was the same after he woke up in his previous life.
The original Shen Ke was swept away. Not only that, the hidden dangers of the original body also disappeared.
This naturally caused a sensation and became a legend in Bianjing City.
It's a pity that he failed to seize this opportunity at that time, and instead ruined it with his own hands.
In order not to attract attention and not to reveal anything, he tried his best to cover up and dress up like an ordinary child.
So, after the hustle and bustle, everything returned to calm, and he was far away from the spotlight, but he still thought he had a trick and thought he could develop in an insignificant way.
But how did he know at that time how cruel and ruthless the world was?
In this world, even traffickers and foot soldiers know that they would rather be a chicken head than an ox tail, let alone the son of an emperor and the future king of the country?
As a prince and a king, mediocrity is the biggest original sin!
Mediocrity means incompetence, and incompetence means no one worships and fears you. No one worships and no one fears you, which means you have lost one of your biggest advantages as a king!
So when he came of age and ascended the throne, he was no longer able to shake the heavy Song Dynasty.
Even if we try our best and use all possible means, it will only be a patchwork in the end and will not contribute to the overall situation.
Even those achievements that were made through cracks, in his later years, most of them became a piece of paper or turned into a bad government that harmed the people, just like Wang Anshi's reform in history.
Now, starting over again, Zhao Xin will never make the same mistakes again.
If you don’t take what God has given you, you will be punished by God!
In this life, Zhao Xin must focus all the world's storms and the focus of the world on himself.
Let yourself become a torch, a beacon.
Turn those thousands of hopes and millions of eyes into his strength and nourishment!
Thinking about this in his heart, Zhao Xin was extremely calm on the outside.
He stretched out his hand slightly, pulled Xu Xi's collar, and asked, "Hanlin, how is Gu's health?"
"I have been practicing medicine for twenty years, and I have never seen anyone with a more stable pulse than the Duke!" Xu Xidun answered first: "I am scared, but I am happy for the world!"
"That's how it should be!" Zhao Xin said calmly: "When you come to this world alone, you should be Yao and Shun! If you want to be Yao and Shun, how can you not have a good body?"
Xu Xi trembled all over as she listened.
The maids and eunuchs outside the bead curtain were already lying on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
And this is exactly the result Zhao Xin wants!
A king should have the intimidation and prestige!
As for whether he will be regarded as a monster and sent to the stake?
Not to mention, he was the only son of the official family of the current dynasty, the only national foundation of the Song Dynasty.
Even if we just talk about national conditions and culture, there is no need to worry about this!
You can understand it if you open a history book.
Yin Qi, whose mother was named Jian Di, had a daughter of the Wei family, who was the emperor's second concubine. The three of them were bathing when they saw a black bird dropping its egg, and Jian Di swallowed it, so she was pregnant and gave birth to Qi - "Historical Records. Yin Benji"
Zhou Houji, named Qi. His mother had a Tai daughter, named Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan was the imperial concubine of Yuan Dynasty. When Jiang Yuan went out in the wild, he saw the trace of a giant, and he said with anger that he wanted to trample on it, but his body moved as if he was pregnant.
——"Historical Records. Zhou Benji"
Before that, Lady Liu was sleeping on the slopes of Daze, and met the gods in her dream. At that time, the thunder and lightning were dim, and Taigong went to look, and saw a dragon on top of her. She was pregnant, and she gave birth to Emperor Gaozu - "Historical Records. The Chronicles of Emperor Gaozu"
Even in this dynasty, there are similar records.
When Taizong was born, 'red light circled the room, and the strange fragrance never dispersed. His body was golden, and it remained unchanged for three days!', and when Taizong was born, he dreamed of a god holding the sun and giving him the gift. She was already pregnant, and the emperor was born.
Junyi's official residence. It's night, the red light rises like fire, and there is a strange fragrance in the alley...'.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about being sent to the stake or anything like that.
I am afraid that the current prime minister and his father, the current official, will only be happy when they know about Zhao Xin's performance.
Maybe we’ll even celebrate!
Especially the literati and officials will burst into tears - since Confucius, they have been looking forward to it for almost fifteen hundred years, and finally the Holy King will come from heaven to save them, these lost lambs!
I'm afraid, the business of the fireworks venues in Bianjing City will be booming next!
The only thing to worry about is probably Zhao Xin's grandfather.
Thinking of his grandfather, even though Zhao Xin had been a man for two generations and an emperor for thirty years, he couldn't help but sigh.
In this world, I have only seen prodigal sons who cheated on their fathers and ancestors.
Who has ever seen someone cheating his children and grandchildren?
But Zhao Xin's grandfather, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, who imitated the ancient magical power of Fu Ji and made Deming Ming, Wu Dingzhang, Sheng Yuanxiao, etc., forced his descendants to burst into tears!
Historically, it was during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong that he dug a huge financial and economic pit, which brought tears to the eyes of today's officials and the subsequent emperors of the Song Dynasty.
Most of the problems in the Northern Song Dynasty were caused by this late emperor.
Now, even if Zhao Xin is reincarnated and wants to establish authority, he will inevitably have to face another pit dug by his grandfather - the Book of Heaven!
Because most of the ministers and ministers in the Song Dynasty today have experienced the impact of the Heavenly Book Movement and survived.
When it comes to things involving gods and gods, you will involuntarily have doubts, doubts, and even resistance in your heart.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin sighed quietly in his heart.
If he was really just a two-year-old child, or if he had just traveled through time like in his previous life, he might have been tricked into tears by his grandfather.
but……
Nowadays, Zhao Xin has no worries in her heart.
More than thirty years of imperial career not only allowed him to grow up, but also made him full of knowledge. He was also very familiar with everything inside and outside the Song Dynasty.
In fact, he has cheated.
Therefore, he was confident that he could use his own performance to convince and overpower the ruling officials of the Song Dynasty.
After all, no one would have thought that in the body of a two-year-old child, there is actually an old monster who has ruled the world for more than thirty years and has a life from a thousand years later!
Naturally, it can only be controlled by him!
The only problem is that Zhao Xin is not very familiar with the current ministers and officials in the court.
There are only some superficial impressions.
There was nothing he could do about it. In his previous life, he spent the first ten years pretending to be stupid. When he finally came to the throne, the prime minister who was still active in the court had either retired or died.
All he could know were some names and recorded words.
"This requires careful planning!" Zhao Xin gently held up his cheeks, and his small body fell into deep thought like a spiritual seeker.
This made Xu Xi and the palace maids and eunuchs feel even more awed and horrified when they saw this scene, so they didn't even dare to breathe.
"Today's prime minister should be Shen Guogong, Lu Yijian, a scholar of Zhaowenguan..." Zhao Xin tried hard to remember: "And the secondary prime minister and secondary prime minister should both be vacant..."
"As for the Privy Council, Zhang Dexiang should be in charge, so as to know the Privy Council..."
"The third envoy should be Yan Shu!"
After simply recalling the resumes and written descriptions of these three people, Zhao Xin felt like she had a headache.
Because these three are not ordinary people.
Any one of them twisted alone is enough for Zhao Xin to drink a pot.
"Fortunately, Yan Shu, the third minister, should not be in Bianjing at this time!" After carefully recalling some of the national history in his memory, Zhao Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the three prime ministers and assistants, the one that he had the biggest headache and thought was the most troublesome was the third chief minister.
But at this moment, Yan Shu should have gone to Shaanxi to wipe the butt of Xia Shouyun, the economic and strategic pacifier of Shaanxi who was defeated last year.
This is undoubtedly good news for Zhao Xin.
Because Yan Shu is intelligent and sensitive, good at detecting abnormalities from subtle details, able to draw inferences from one instance, and is not afraid to tell the truth!
Especially the fact that he is not afraid to tell the truth makes Zhao Xin particularly troublesome!
Indeed, Zhao Xin had no contact with Yan Shu. This famous minister had already died of illness before he came of age.
But Zhao Xin and Yan Shu's disciples and grandchildren often interacted with each other.
Wang Anshi, who is smelly and hard, and Fu Bi, whose brain is as dull as granite, are either Yan Shu's disciples or son-in-law!
In addition, Yan Shu's son, Yan Jidao, also told Zhao Xin very well what it means to have a character that will never bow its head even if it means starving to death or dying outside.
only……
"Lu Yijian, Zhang Dexiang is not a good person..." Zhao Xin said in his heart: "I have to think carefully about how to subdue these two people!"
Although Lu Yijian and Zhang Dexiang were not as troublesome as Yan Shu in Zhao Xin's opinion.
But that's only relatively speaking.
Moreover, it is just because these two people are more tactful than Yan Shu.
But it doesn’t go that far!
At that time, Lu Yijian did not even give Zhang Xian Mingsu the face of the Empress Dowager, and directly attacked the regent empress dowager who was in great power at the time.
Zhang Dexiang, on the other hand, climbed up to his current position step by step after decades of struggling in the local area.
Moreover, it was Zhang Dexiang who opened up an era!
Before him, the Song Dynasty had an ancestral motto: Do not treat southerners as your prime minister!
After him, this ancestral system was abolished.
From then on, people from Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi worshiped the prime minister one after another.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the Fujian Party appeared, and Lu Huiqing and Cai Jing were the representatives of this group.
As for how difficult it was to shake the ancestral system of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xin had already spent his whole life to verify it.
Thinking about this, Zhao Xin became more and more cautious.
Because he knows that whether he can have a good start in this life, whether he can truly grasp power and truly become the Supreme depends on his next performance.
And he knew very well that his father, the official of the Song Dynasty, would definitely bring Lu Yijian, Zhang Dexiang and other prime ministers here after learning about his awakening and his behavior after waking up.
Not only is this matter of great importance, but the official doesn't want to take him. With the character of the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty, they will also stalk him and they will definitely come here.
What's more, Zhao Xin really knew her father's character and behavior - he was soft-hearted by nature and didn't know how to refuse.
Especially those who don't know how to refuse the requests of the prime ministers.
Governing from the top down is the biggest feature of his ruling career!
It was in his hands that the power and strength of the Song Dynasty civil servant group expanded to the point it would be in the future.
"This is all I can do..." Zhao Xin thought about it and finally made up his mind: "Let us use the laws of our ancestors!"
He knew that it would definitely cause trouble for him in the future - after all, the words "ancestral family law" were the most troublesome and troublesome thing for him in his previous life.
And his next behavior may inject new power into these four words that once gave him a headache.
It is more likely to become the number one trouble for his descendants in the future.
but……
"After my death, I won't care about the flood!" Zhao Xin sneered: "What's more, if I can't succeed, the Song Dynasty is destined to perish!"
In his heart, he had a crazy idea: Anyway, it is a tradition for the Zhao family to cheat their children and grandchildren.
Zhenzong has deceived today, today has deceived him, and he has deceived his descendants, so what's the harm?
Could it be that if a poor monk can touch it, a poor Taoist cannot?
