His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is honest and honest. This is the evaluation of Zhao Xi by the entire court during this period.
Zhao Xi knows how to measure and how to advance and retreat. Throughout history, no arrogant prince will end well.
Therefore, he tried to be a restrained prince. It was not until the princes in the court defined some of the limelighting things in his childhood as being young and frivolous... It was not a big deal at this time.
He always listened with his ears to the discussions about his duties in court, and then continued to listen to his father telling him about the emperor's experience.
Even if he was asked, he would answer according to what he had figured out from his husband-in-law and his father... It was just a matter of harmony, he could do this.
As an adult, the prince showed a similar style to His Majesty, which made the court feel reassured.
Even when Tao Niang became pregnant, and then her cousin who became the King of Runan burped, Zhao Xi did not show any joy or gloating.
He actually felt that this cousin was finally free and no longer had to worry about the possibility of his third generation being a spare tire.
Father and son, two generations of spare tires, worked hard for decades to achieve the title of Dabao, but they all disappeared with his death.
In the past few decades, there have been joys, reluctances, resentments, and vicious behaviors. Now, everything is over.
It seemed that the moment he heard about his uncle's death, Zhao Xi also let go of everything he had done to the Runan Palace.
Debts are wiped out after death.
Later, when I heard that the princes were making jokes because of who was the heir, I had no idea.
Comparing prices with people with this kind of vision... In fact, Zhao Xi doesn't want to do those bloody things among the clan. If he wants to do it, he will do it like Zhao Zongyong... without seeing any blood.
The court adopted a drag-and-drop rule regarding the position of crown prince. Whenever someone mentioned it, there would be another debate, and in the end no one mentioned it anymore.
In fact, Zhao Zhen didn't really want to assign any responsibilities to his son. He was not afraid that his son would take over power and cause any disputes with himself. He felt that with his son around, it would be much easier to deal with many memorials.
The son was always able to quickly get to the core of the memorials and put forward quite mild and effective solutions. Of course, this was not Zhao Xi's original intention. When his father was in power, the handling of memorials had to be in line with his father's style. This was also the rule of the court.
The reason why Tang Zhu Gongjing recognized him after knowing it.
Therefore, the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's duties was shelved. At least Zhao Xi felt that he would not mention it again during his father's lifetime.
It doesn't matter, Zhao Xi prefers his current role in the court. It's very good. He can have a comprehensive understanding of the difficult operation of the entire country, and he can also be objectively familiar with these courtiers, especially those who advise him.
According to the custom of the country, every official who is promoted must have experience of serving as a Taijian. The current Taijian may have been a minister when he was in his own dynasty. He needs to understand it clearly.
Since the dispute over the crown prince's position was abandoned, the idle court began to find faults with each other again, and began to change the leadership one after another.
It's been less than two years, and there have been two changes in the leadership... Zhao Xi also understood why when he was in charge, he only demolished the east wall to repair the west wall. There was no way, even if he wanted to implement a policy, he didn't have time to roll it out.
It's time for you to go out.
To be honest, it's quite confusing.
But Zhao Xi has never talked too much about the appointment and dismissal of officials, not at all.
He knows very well that he is the same as he was then, or even worse than he was then. So the personnel power will always belong to the top leader. Even if the top leader asks for advice, it is just a procedure or respect, not for you to make the decision.
He enforces this very strictly, even if he is his father, he still abides by the rules that should be followed.
Ouyang Xiu has returned to the court. He was so high-spirited at the time, but now he has almost realized his destiny. His sharp edge has disappeared, but he has become more refined and more like a pure scholar. And now the Imperial College wine offering seems to be specially made for his temperament.
Reserved.
But Han Qi and Fu Bi are still traveling around various military states... Are they still worried that they will come back to reverse Lao Fan's case?
From the changes in Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Xi was worried that the past ten years would smooth out the sharp edges between Han Qi and Fu Bi.
Wang Anshi and Zhao Xi also met him. No matter how many times he went to court, Zhao Xi didn't see him say anything shocking... Zhao Xi still knew that this man was definitely just like himself, holding back his big move.
In Zhao Xi's eyes, who looks most like a politician is Wen Yanbo and Wen Kuanfu.
Ever since he entered the court because he had secured a king, he started as deputy privy envoy. In the past ten years, the two palaces had changed back and forth, but he was the only one who never went out again.
It’s not that no one has impeached him, but they have never shied away from him. He has never asked himself to go out or go home to deal with anything. He has just stayed in the court and watched you talk about me, shamelessly carrying it.
, carry it until you don’t say anything anymore.
This is the quality that politicians should possess...
Zhao Xi was like a spectator, watching the whole court show you and I coming on, slowly forming his own governing strategy in his mind.
Zhao Xi originally wanted to be restrained until he ascended the throne, but unexpectedly something happened that forced him to show off his talents.
Nong Zhigao rebelled.
At first, not to mention the court, even Zhao Xi didn't take it seriously because he didn't remember any famous peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty.
But the reports came one after another, forcing the court to pay more attention to it.
From Guangnan West Road to Bianliang, even if it is a postal service, it will take half a month at least. In other words, it will be much later for the court to get the report and know the specific situation of Guangnan West Road than the actual situation in the area.
January.
January! Everyone can imagine that in this month, the entire Guangnan West Road will be in chaos and will be in various situations.
At this time, the court finally began to face it, but it also became chaotic. This is the truth about the literati court.
In times of national calamity, we need good generals. At this time, we can no longer rely on their mouths and pens.
"Your Majesty, there has been no fighting on the Guangnan Road for many years, and the soldiers have been slack. Although Yu Jing and Sun Mian came to the rescue to ensure that they were not lost, the veteran thought that it was necessary to lead the Western Army to Guangnan."
When Pang Ji said these words, Zhao Xi always felt that the Political Affairs Hall should suppress some reports.
In fact, suppress it or not. Starting from Yongzhou, Binzhou, Hengzhou, Guizhou, Xunzhou, and Hezhou all abandoned the city and fled... The imperial court did treat these prefectures a little too favorably.
"Who is handsome?"
Zhao Zhen was indeed a little panicked. It had only been three or five days and he had already lost five states in a row. If this goes on...
How should I put it? Even the Guangnan West Road side didn't expect to be so troubled. At the beginning of Nong Zhigao's uprising, no one took it seriously. It was not until the soldiers of the country and the DPRK were defeated one after another that they lost countless soldiers.
It was only in the city that I remembered to report urgently. Therefore, the report became three times a day.
"Your Majesty, I think that Di Qing and Di Hanchen can be appointed!"
"Your Majesty, Di Hanchen is not suitable to be a commander!"
As soon as Pang Ji finished speaking, Han Jiang rejected it directly.
Why? The country has never had a military general.
Besides, there is another uprising over there... Zhao Xi knows that the opportunity has come.
