Zhao Xi left it to Wen Yanbo and Han Qi to take the lead in the matter of converting the imperial army to civilians... A king must have the consciousness of a king, and cannot care about everything in such a detail.
When Zhao Xi returned to Bianliang, he no longer considered the transfer of the imperial army to civilians, and once again focused on the major issue of official reform.
Even Fu Bi, Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, Lu Gongbi and others began to study seriously the feasibility of official reform.
In a sense, Han Qi and Wen Yanbo are relatively conservative leaders in today's political affairs hall...
Because the prince's expedition experience was approved by Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi approved the prince's idea of leaving the palace to live alone, and allowed the prince to study abroad, gain experience and participate in the examination.
It was also because of this that the second prince actually made the same request...
"Are you sure you want my brother to live outside?"
Zhao Xi looked at his second son and asked in a very calm tone.
"Dad, according to old rules, a child must leave the palace and live elsewhere when he becomes an adult. If the child is fifteen next year, it will be inconvenient for him to live in the palace again, and he will also be impeached by the court officials."
"My child knows that he should stay in Bianliang since the beginning of his life. He has never been out of Bianliang, and he rarely even goes out to the palace walls. He wants to take a trip before he opens his palace and builds his teeth.
, look at the great rivers and mountains of our Song Dynasty."
"The child knows that his father led the army to the south at the age of fifteen, and his brother also started to go to the workshop city and the martial arts hall at the age of ten. The child does not dare to compare with his father and brother, he just wants to go out and see the sky outside."
This is a well-established reason.
"That's right! You can choose your bodyguard as you wish, whether it's the Military Academy's Lieutenant Camp or the Imperial City Division, as long as it doesn't go beyond the rules!"
The prince of the Song Dynasty has always been kept in captivity, and his second son said he wanted to travel...
Zhao Xi looked through the memorials and annotations during this period. There was nothing wrong with it. It was quite satisfactory. It was definitely Han Jiang's style. Neither Tao Niang, the queen, nor the second prince, who was in charge of the country, were too deeply involved in state affairs.
normal.
It was normal for officials to keep a copy of the memorial and read the memorial after leaving Beijing. No one thought much about it. Zhao Xi didn't think much about it after reading it.
Regarding the successor, Zhao Xi has not considered this issue yet. He is only in his early thirties, and it is not time to consider inheritance yet.
In fact, Zhao Xi was avoiding this issue.
For the royal family, the selection of heirs has always been a difficult problem. Zhao Xi selected the prince to prevent the courtiers from being too confused. Likewise, this is the fundamental factor that determines whether a dynasty can prosper for a long time.
Raise a child like a wolf or raise a child like a sheep? It’s hard to choose.
According to Zhao Xi's earliest idea, he wanted to establish a survival of the fittest mechanism and implement a successor ranking system, which would eventually be linked to a three-level decision-making system to select the successor to the throne.
However, as his rights as a king gradually stabilized, each measure was gradually implemented, and the country became stronger and stronger day by day, Zhao Xi wanted to overturn his original idea again...~
In Zhao Xi's opinion, retaking Yanyun and quelling Xixia must be completed during his time in power.
As for the reform of the court, he will also make the court system more reasonable during his lifetime.
After completing these tasks, the king of the dynasty is suitable to be a king of integrity, and there is no need for a king who likes to toss.
The descendants of future generations may be smarter than themselves, or they may be stronger than themselves, but they will never be more knowledgeable than themselves.
They accept the teachings of this era. The smarter the king, the harder it is to accept the structure they have laid, and the easier it is to mess with it.
I think too much and think too early. Maybe in a few years, I will have a plan.
Stability is the foundation of social development. As a later generation, Zhao Xi understands this best. This is why Zhao Xi did not make drastic changes or shed blood on the ground when promoting the entire reform process. Everything was completed in gentle breeze and drizzle.
If you want me to do it and if I want to do it, the results will be very different.
For example, now, the atmosphere of the entire country has begun to seek profits from industry and commerce, and is no longer limited to the harvest of the land. It has also begun to have the idea of expansion, and no longer thinks that everything except the Central Plains is barbaric.
Zhao Xi has not neglected the teachings of his sons. He will guide them intentionally or unintentionally whenever he has time. Although he does not preach freedom, democracy and equality, he can still let them know some values of future generations.
Zhao Xi was a little unsure whether this was good or bad for the royal family.
Even in later generations, there is no shortage of wealthy families vying for power, let alone the throne...~
Maybe it’s appropriate to follow the current values? Who knows!
"Guan family, it's late at night..."
If Wang Zhongzheng hadn't reminded him, Zhao Xi would have forgotten the time.
I looked through a bunch of memorials and thought about some random things in my mind...
"Zhongzheng, I heard that you have a son?"
Zhao Xi couldn't tell whether he was bored or idle, but he was talking to this idiot.
"When I return to the official's house, I brought it from the clan for the younger one to inherit the incense."
"Adoption in the clan? How to determine this person? I believe there is more than one person in your clan who wants to be your son, right?"
"When I return to the official family, I was recommended by the elders of the clan. I seldom go back to my hometown, so I naturally can't know the merits. But judging from my performance, the elders of the clan still take it seriously."
Democratic decision-making? Maybe so. Clan clans should never lack democracy, right? What about the royal family? Zhao Xi was thinking wildly again.
…
There are three major issues facing the imperial court at the moment. The first is the issue of transferring nearly 500,000 forbidden troops to civilians or relocating them to other places.
The second thing is the official reform that has been brewing for a long time and is about to enter the traumatic stage.
The other thing is that after the Forbidden Army was resettled, the problem of insufficient soldiers was exposed in this war.
Everything is not a trivial matter. But Zhao Xi has not had a court meeting since he came back, so he doesn't know what the thoughts of his ministers are, or Zhao Xi is too lazy to know.
These three things are not easy to solve.
"What?" Zhao Xi couldn't believe it.
"Back at the official house, this is indeed the case. Prime Minister Han and Prime Minister Wen informed Gongfang City and did not allow the rail carriages to transport the Imperial Army back. At the same time, they also ordered Gongfang City to allow the Imperial Army to get off the train anywhere."
"At the same time, Prime Minister Han and Prime Minister Wen also informed the prefectures, counties, and counties along the way that the officials along the way would not allow the Imperial Guards to enter the city unless they left the customs, and they would not be responsible for the food and grass of these Imperial Guards."
"It also requires that the new garrison troops in various states, counties, and counties should expel the wandering imperial troops to prevent these wandering soldiers from harming the states and counties."
Cruel enough! Zhao Xi has to say that Han Qi and Wen Yanbo are cruel to the soldiers. The question is, there are many mountains in Hedong, what are these two going to do? Do you think the imperial court is idle?
"Is there any report on this matter?"
"Yes! Prime Minister Han and Prime Minister Wen have communicated with Prime Minister Fu. Prime Minister Fu has ordered Gyeonggi Road, Jingdong Road, and Jingxi Road yamen to send scribes to visit the families of the Imperial Guards and publicize the imperial policies. At the same time, the state government has been asked to patrol and focus on the Imperial Guards.
Family members and new garrison troops in relevant states, counties, and counties are also in a state of preparation for war."
Why didn't the princes communicate with him about such a big matter? Zhao Xi suddenly remembered that when he arranged for Han Qi and Wen Yanbo to deal with the transfer of the imperial army to civilians, he said: It is imperative that the imperial army should be converted to civilians. There is a cloud like this in the four states.
When the time comes, the court must decide on this matter.
Alas! I have forgotten that Han Qi and Wen Yanbo's attitude towards the soldiers will never be lenient.
