Chapter 688 The famous emperor and the real emperor
In the imperial city, Yang Lin asked Yang Tianren to wait outside and entered the inner ban alone.
Zhao Si is now a little thinner, but he looks fine and doesn't look too haggard. It seems that old man Yang Jian's words are really exaggerated.
Yang Lin bowed slightly and said: "Guan family, the new year is approaching, and my minister Yang Lin is here to pay his respects to the official family."
The main hall was empty. Several eunuchs and chamberlains had their heads lowered, and the maids fanning themselves were looking at the tips of their shoes.
Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of the king not seeing the king. Yang Lin is now the de facto emperor, and Zhao Si is the emperor on the surface. The estrangement and alienation between them are natural.
"Yang Aiqing, please get up quickly. Come and give Yang Qing a seat."
Two chamberlains brought a chair up. Yang Jian outside the hall stretched out his ears and listened attentively.
Zhao Si smiled unnaturally, and Yang Lin was also a little restrained. The two chatted awkwardly for a while, and then Yang Lin withdrew.
Yang Jian outside the palace quickly followed him and said: "The official is a free and easy man. He eats, drinks and has fun in the palace. His mood is relieved and his illness is much better."
Yang Lin did not expose him and said with a smile: "The official family does not have any ambitions, so naturally it will not be very painful. It is different for the person on the Duiyu Tower. He is frowning all day long."
"He used to be on the ground, but he was actually in the clouds. Now he is in the clouds, but actually he is on the ground. It is naturally difficult to accept it." Yang Jian can't say he hates Zhao Ji. In fact, Zhao Ji treats them well, but he is really not the material to be an emperor.
.
According to Yang Lin's reputation, no one in the world thought he would let Zhao Ji live, but he never thought of harming their lives.
Now that Zhao and Song are here, there is no possibility of a comeback, so why bother killing them all?
If someone uses their name to cause trouble, it is exactly what Yang Lin wants to see. Now under the strong force of force, the enemies are shrinking among the people and do not dare to show up. It would be best to draw them out.
Zhao Kuangyin left the Chai family behind, and they had not heard of any rebellion in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years. In fact, even if they rebelled, they would not cause any trouble.
This is even more true now. Yang Xue has spread all over the country, and the grassroots level of the entire country has changed. This era already belongs to Yang Lin.
As long as he does not die, countless people will support him. Under his new policy, a new group of supporters have been born, which are the people of the entire world.
At the gate of the imperial city, Yang Tianren stepped forward and opened the car curtain. After Yang Lin got in the car, he turned back to Yang Jian and said, "Brother, I will entrust you to take care of the official family. You must ensure that the official family dragon is in good health. Don't
It will cause me to have a bad name in the annals of history for thousands of years to come."
Yang Jian smiled and nodded. Yang Lin's meaning was obvious, he did not want to murder the current emperor himself.
Since he has agreed to pass on his title to Brother Xun, why should he bother him?
"Father, where are you going next?"
In the carriage, Yang Lin looked at Yang Tianren and said, "Go back home. I heard that Zhang Boyu came to Bianliang. You just came back from the south. How is the situation in Jiaozhi?"
Speaking of this matter, Yang Tianren couldn't help but smile and said: "My adoptive father didn't know that Zhang Boyu had plundered countless money from Jiaozhi, and everyone in Jiaozhi's wealthy family wanted to eat his flesh. But he was well received among the people, and the people of Jiaozhi
In the past, I was very arrogant, thinking that I was the Zhengshuo of the Central Plains, and did not take the Song Dynasty seriously. After the last civil war, most of the young people in the country were killed and injured, and then I felt the pain. Who can make Jiaozhi peaceful and peaceful now?
He is the hero of the Cochin people."
A smile slowly appeared on Yang Lin's face and he said: "When treating a place like this, you can't be too kind to them, nor be too harsh. Just follow the current process for a few years, and after three generations, who will say that they don't belong?
The Central Plains Dynasty, they are going to jump in and scold their mother."
"Back then, Fang Qifu told me that he could attack Thang Long City and level Jiaozhi in half a month. I asked him to calm down and support the people of northern Jiaozhi, and let them fight each other for three years. In these three years, almost every day
The whole day was a bloody battle, with the corpses of the people at the bottom strewn across the field, leaving only three or four out of ten. Then Zhang Boyu came to power and killed all the upper-level people. Only then did Jiaozhi surrender. If the army had taken Jiaozhi directly, we still don’t know what would happen next.
How much effort does it take?”
"If this were not the case, there would be a small raid on Jiaozhi every three years and a major invasion in five years. Guangnan West Road would be severely damaged. Hundreds of thousands of border people would be plundered and enslaved. Nanyang trade routes would be almost cut off. It will always be a big disaster."
Although the Northern Barbarians have always been stronger than the Southern Barbarians, the foreign tribes in the north are serious enemies and have received great attention. All the national troops are placed in the north.
Even if the southern border areas were plundered by barbarians, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty in the past did not care much.
In their view, the South Guangxi Road, Qiongzhou area and even the Lingnan area are all border areas, and the people are similar to barbarians. There is no need to waste national financial resources and soldiers for this.
In fact, if those selfish scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty managed the south well, there would be countless money and manpower available.
You know, during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou had become a large trading city, with no less than 200,000 merchants from various countries pouring in.
After taking back Jiaozhi and clearing out the Champa pirates, the grand occasion of the past will surely be restored, and it will be faster and more convenient.
Thinking of this, Yang Lin became a little anxious. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the cannibals were able to sail around India and come to Guangzhou to trade.
And the current navy of the Song Dynasty cannot sail such a long distance. In this area of navigation, the Han people are rarely behind.
But this is also because the Han elite have never bothered to fight the waves on the sea. The stage they want to go to is always the Central Plains, Tongting, and the heights of the temple.
As long as you pay more attention and tilt your policies, I believe you can slowly change this concept.
Just as he was thinking about this, the carriage returned to Zhaodefang. When Yang Lin got off the carriage, he saw the three siblings returning together with a smile.
The three people hurried forward. Yang Tianai was a little shy when seeing Yang Lin because of Tianning's joke, but Yang Lin didn't notice it.
He stretched out his hand to hug Tianci and realized that these children were now almost as tall as him, so he smiled and said: "When I was here, I felt that nothing had changed. After a year away, everything has changed. At your age, you are so tall."
It’s too fast. In a few years, I will be making arrangements to find you a wife.”
Yang Tianning smiled and said: "I don't have to do this. As a man, it's better to do these things yourself."
"Who do you think you are? Are you as capable as me? Haha!"
Yang Tianning smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case."
The father and son entered the courtyard with a smile. Because it was approaching the New Year, the house was slowly becoming lively.
This year is especially special, because the Yang family has more children, and Yang Lin has had children for a year. The Yang family, a single seedling, finally bloomed and flourished.
