Long live if you don’t explain it yourself, it will make people make a fuss, but Wang Ju doesn’t care too much. As long as he says it in advance, the problem will not be big.

Zhao Xu was puzzled. After listening to Wang Ju's explanation, he laughed and said, "I am not as brave as my ancestors, but my skills are not much inferior to my ancestors."

This statement also has a historical background, which is a story when Emperor Zhenzong of Song was born as the prince.

Zhao Kuangyin had four sons, two sons died early, but there were two sons alive. Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, but they did not establish a crown prince for a long time. According to Wang Ju's speculation, the eldest son Zhao Dezhao might be born to He. Zhao Kuangyin was not happy. Zhao Kuangyin always wanted to make Zhao Defang the crown prince, but Zhao Defang was too young, so the establishment of the crown prince was delayed for a long time. The evidence supporting Wang Ju's idea was that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to move the capital to Luoyang in his later years. The official who built Luoyang City was Zhao Defang's father-in-law Jiao Jixun.

Then Zhao Kuangyin played a balance between Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi. After Zhao Pu went down, he came from Luoyang City. Zhao Kuangyin personally took the mansion of his third brother Zhao Tingmei three times, and then he was tragic when he was born.

The eldest brother's mistake led to Zhao Kuangyi doing two things after he came to power. One was to match the third brother to Fuling, and the other was to support the eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo very early.

However, Zhao Yuanzuo, a little kid, didn't know the cruelty of the political struggle, but he knew many inside stories. Seeing his father's reputation was not upright, he forced his brother Zhao Dezhao to death after ascending the throne, and then brought his third uncle to Bashu. This method made him unable to accept it and he was crazy.

The eldest son was no longer able to do it, and the second son took over, so Zhao Kuangyi made the second son Zhao Yuanxi the King of Chen and the prefect of Kaifeng. Historically, he was known to be a heroic and resolute person. In fact, Zhao Yuanshe was so scared that he dared not speak in the face of his father's pressure.

Under this torture, Zhao Yuanxi died of illness, and after his death, he suddenly became unlawful and beaten many slaves to death.

In this case, no minister dared to propose a crown prince anymore. As long as the crown prince is appointed, the crown prince will be miserable, and even the ministers who proposed will be in trouble. It was not until Kou Zhun entered the capital. At Kou Zhun's suggestion that the third son Zhao Heng was appointed as the crown prince.

Once, Zhao Kuangyi took Zhao Heng to visit the Taimiao. On the way to the imperial city, many people flocked out, crowded on both sides of the road. They were fighting to see the crown prince, and some people shouted at the young emperor, long live the mountain.

Why did this situation occur? When Wang Ju talked about the rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Han Dynasty, he deliberately analyzed the reasons. From the history of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of Han reduced the vassals and reduced the vassals not as great as he imagined. Without this rebellion, Wang Mang might not have been so easily taken power and usurped the country. However, in the entire history, the reduction of the vassals is of great significance. Looking at the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty and so many princes in the Southern and Northern Dynasties plotted chaos, it also analyzed the reason why the Song Dynasty placed the children of the royal family as pigs in the capital.

As a feudal country, the smooth transition of imperial power was too important. Even Taizu recognized its importance, so he repeatedly praised Lu Duan, who was not confused about major events. In fact, Lu Duan's contribution was to ensure that Song Zhenzong could smoothly succeed the imperial power of the Song Dynasty.

But at that time, Zhao Kuangyi was very unhappy. He even asked Kou Zhun publicly that the people's hearts would return to the crown prince and put me in their position. Kou Zhun said that the crown prince chosen by His Majesty was very popular, which was a blessing for the country. Zhao Kuangyi then explained his doubts and drank with Kou Zhun, and was drunk.

Wang Ju said in his heart, you two have similar personalities, of course. If you can't say it, you have to say, "Yes, yes."

Then he looked at Zhao Mai and asked, "Your Highness, what have you learned through this example?"

"Most people's dreams are ordinary, so there are many mediocre people." Zhao Zhong thought for a while and said.

"It's right, there's something else."

"If you want to have extraordinary future, you must have great dreams when you are young, so Zhuangzi said, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"

"Your Highness is right, but why do you call it a dream, not an ideal?"

Master Zhao shook his head.

"It is not easy to make a difference in my life. Just like there are a million scholars in our dynasty, and there are hundreds of thousands of scholars who participate in the imperial examinations in each term. They all want to pass the imperial examinations, but in fact, only two or three hundred Jinshi will be admitted to each term. Even when Renzong was in power, the imperial examinations were released, and the number of people in each term would not exceed one thousand. There was also the dream of that young man to be a general. I can understand this way that his generals mostly refer to a general. However, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in our dynasty, but only more than three hundred generals, plus other senior military officials, only five hundred people. So it is extremely difficult to achieve this dream. Your Highness, do you still remember Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao?"

"Remember, the thief!"

"They are indeed thieves, but if they don't defect to Xixia and continue to stay in our court, can our court give them talents?"

Zhui Zhao thought for a long time, but finally shook his head.

"People who are known in history will eventually lose their pockets. Of course, those rare talents in the ages, no matter what system or environment, will eventually lose their pockets. However, first-class talents may not have the ability. Since ancient times, there have been too many people who have not met talent! Even if they were talents like Han Xin, they would have become the most popular person if they had not met Xiao He. But how many talents can there be today with Han Xin?"

"If you want to realize your dream, if you lack the qualifications, no matter how hard you work, you will never achieve your dream. However, with talent and effort, you will not be able to achieve your dreams. However, with talent and hard work, you will not be able to realize your dreams. This road is too difficult, just like your father and ministers, you want to work hard for the rise of the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty is the king of a country, the king of the world, the ministers are the prime ministers of the current dynasty, and you will be valued by Your Majesty. However, in this way, in internal affairs, Your Majesty and I dare not talk about the annexation, and in martial arts, you dare not say how hard your Majesty has been."

Zhao Xu was moved by love, grabbed Wang Ju's hand, and sighed endlessly.

Zhao Zheng certainly couldn't understand it now, and he said, "By the way, Jie Fu wrote an article called "Shen Zhongyong."

"Your Highness, yes, that Zhongyong is the best example. He has talent, but if he doesn't work hard, he can't pass the first level. However, even if he works hard, he may not be able to do something in the future. He still needs opportunities. But if he has opportunities, he has to face the following level and persevere! Without perseverance, those who fall early are like Emperor Yang of Sui, and those who fall late are like Emperor Minghuang of Tang."

"There is nothing like a tree and a valley in a year; nothing like a tree in a decade; nothing like a tree in a lifetime? "

"Not bad. Ten years of trees, hundred years of trees." Wang Ju turned his head and said to Zhao Xu: "How lucky is the Song Dynasty? With the qualifications of Your Highness, the Song Dynasty will definitely be better than the other generation."

Because this sentence comes from Guanzi, this shows that Zhao Zhong has read a lot.

It is not uncommon to say it in a minister's mouth, but now Zhao's age is still very young, which is also very amazing.

However, Zhao Xu is not very talented, and he also read a lot when he was a teenager. He is famous for his knowledge and memorization.

Zhao Xu Yile has a good son and will not threaten his status for the time being, so he is still very content.

Wang Ju said again: "Talent, hard work, opportunity, and perseverance are the four major difficulties. In fact, people who have been able to overcome these four difficulties from ancient times to the present are very few. I have been in the military camp. In order to motivate ordinary soldiers to make progress, I once said that soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers. They inspire them to practice hard and create a fair environment for them as much as possible. But I dare not increase the number of generals. On the contrary, in order to reduce the quota of military generals, I have repeatedly cut off the quota of military generals. Although having a lofty dream is a good thing. Just like me, if I don't have a dream of a powerful Song Dynasty, I will not be today.

Their dream is that they only realize half of their dreams. Others may not be as great as His Majesty, nor as great as their dreams. Their dreams are just to pass the imperial examination, to become a priest, or to become a lieutenant, or to become a lieutenant, or to become a lieutenant, or to become a lieutenant, or to become a lieutenant, or to become a lieutenant, but this dream is very few people who can realize it. On the contrary, more people delay their lives in order to realize their lofty dreams and implicate their families. The best example is the imperial examination. In order to become famous in Donghuamen, many scholars have turned their heads to study hard all their lives, and their families are also living in suffering."

"Taibao, do you encourage the people to be content and always be happy?"

"Your Highness, if all the people are content and happy, have no dreams and have a mediocre life, will there be talents in the Song Dynasty come to govern the country?"

"This" Zhao Zhong was embarrassed.

In fact, Zhao Xu was also confused.

"This is the focus of what I just wanted to say."

Just now, Wang Judexun's family was not allowed to be blocked by the people. When he arrived at home, Dexun took Zhao Zhonggong to explain, and there was no time to explain in detail.

"It seems contradictory, but it is not contradictory. There is a lofty dream that needs to be supported, and contentment and happiness must also be supported. Your Highness, let me give you another example. Just like in Confucianism, the Master believes that wise and self-protection is a kind of wise act, but the Master also supports killing oneself to achieve benevolence. Therefore, it is said that a benevolent man will not seek survival to harm benevolence, but killing oneself to achieve benevolence. The two seem to conflict, but in fact they do not conflict. However, this is the case that makes many kings embarrassed because each person has different points, different statements, and no ideas are the same. Therefore, whenever a major decision is made, each minister has the views of each minister."

"Choose the most important thing and give up the most important thing?"

"You can say that you choose the most important thing and give up light, but choosing the most important thing and giving up light is too vague. To be precise, it is what Zhuge Liang said to be both listened to and clarified. However, the four words Zhuge Liang said are still very vague. Let's talk about another metaphor."

Wang Ju said the little fable about the horse crossing the river: "The squirrel is right, and the ox is right, but the squirrel cannot put the words of the ox on himself, and the ox cannot put the words of the squirrel on himself. Facing different voices, the king needs to have independent thinking ability to rationally analyze these different voices and make the right choice based on different situations."

Master Zhao hugged his head and was thinking hard.

Zhao Xu looked at Tianse and said, "Wang Qing, stay in the palace and have a meal."

He was still very happy. Not only did Wang Ju say these truths, but also he also felt that he benefited a lot.

However, on the way, Zhao Xu added: "These principles are a bit profound for the servants."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has such a natural stature, and Your Highness is not an ordinary person. Just like my son, I will not teach you like this. On the contrary, I will occasionally take them to play. Therefore, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility."

Your son will be the emperor in the future, so he must teach this!

Zhao Xu smiled, was very pleased, and patted Wang Ju's shoulder again.

The palace banquet was very rich, thanks to Wang Ju, who brought many fruits and vegetables from the other side. In order to get to know his craving, Wang Ju secretly instructed many wealthy officials to refrigerate the fruits and vegetables from summer and autumn in his own ice cellar to achieve the goal of keeping fresh.

But it was not a cold storage, after a few months of freezing, almost all of them became frozen and wilted. Of course, for the Song Dynasty, this was still very fresh. Although the taste was not so delicious, we could finally eat summer vegetables in winter.

In fact, there were also morning vegetables in the Song Dynasty, such as a gourd. Even if it was launched for one month in the morning, the market price actually reached a common price!

Wang Ju ate the frozen tomatoes. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a way to harm Gao Taotao.

Don't think that Wang Ju will be over after he goes to the other side. There will be struggles at that time. If you want to do what you do, you cannot destroy Gao Taotao one by one. You must set up difficulties after difficulties for Gao Taotao.

Wang Ju arrived at home, and then Wang Ju was impeached by some ministers. These ministers were not to deal with Wang Ju, but were indeed in their inner world. Wang Ju, the method of taking the prince, or the actual prince of the Song Dynasty, was to talk about it while walking around outside the inner city of the capital, was a violation of the rules of the dynasty of all dynasties.

It would be fine if no one recognizes it. Now that someone recognizes it, it cannot continue, at least it has posed a threat to Zhao's safety.

However, after such a thing happened, Wang Ju really couldn't take Zhao Zhui around anymore.

But Wang Ju started to do another thing

The Spring Festival is coming in the blink of an eye.

What the ministers are most concerned about will also come.

The sixth day of the first lunar month.

In the imperial palace where he was concerned, all the envoys arrived one by one.

The envoy of the Liao Kingdom was Xiao Yonghui, the governor of the Liao Kingdom's Security Army, and Yelu Kuan, the governor of the Changning Army.

However, in addition to them, there were also a group of envoys, including the Western Xia envoy Zhu Nengye Wu Yushi, Wei Ming Yumi, Lai Kama, and Han envoys Lu Ning and Mao Shiyu.

However, the five envoys from Xixia together put the Song Dynasty in disguise insulting the Zanpu mansion in the capital. Although the Song Dynasty followed Wang Ju's suggestion and appointed Mu Zheng's second son as the new Zanpu in Tubo, Zhao Huaiyi did not immediately summon Zhao Huaiyi into the capital. The first reason was that Zhao Huaiyi continued to stay in Qinzhou at this time to facilitate the reception of the chiefs of various ministries to facilitate the court to further appease the Hehuang tribes. This time was a bit long and it had to be continued until this year. After the various ministries sent troops to return to Xixia, they would summon Zhao Huaiyi to the capital, which might be until the end of the Xia. The second reason was that the court chose a place on the bank of the Bianshui River and wanted to build a Zanpu mansion for Zhao Huaiyi, which would also take some time. Not to mention building a palace, it would be at least luxurious than the residences of ordinary ministers. In this way, when Tubo tribes came to the capital, they would think that their "Zanpu" had not been wronged, and they also played a further pacification role.

This mansion has not been repaired yet, but now we can barely put the Xixia envoys under house arrest.

Therefore, when Xiao Yonghui and Yelu Kuan saw five Western Xia envoys, they were both a little shocked.

But in addition to these five Xia envoys, there is also one person named Ali Gu!

Everyone sat down one after another.

Zhao Xu was late, and all the ministers and envoys from Liao and Xia stood up to pay homage to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu looked cold, but just waved his hand and sat down.

Yelu Kuan and Xiao Yonghui looked at each other, and Yelu Kuan asked, "Your Majesty, why did the Song Dynasty invade Yinzhou?"

This is very wrong. If the Hengshan area is occupied, it can still be called defense. Now the Song Dynasty has taken over Yinzhou, Yanzhou, Hongzhou, Youzhou and Xiazhou have also been swept away by the Song army and become an unmanned land. Xixia is already in danger.

Zhao Xu did not answer.

Wang Ju stood up, walked to several envoys, looked at Yelu Kuan and said, "Envoy Yelu, your Liao Kingdom has said three things in the country. The first thing is that our Song Dynasty should not take Yinzhou and must return Yinzhou and Huizhou to Xixia. The second thing is that our dynasty sent people to instigate the rebellion of the Jurchens in Liaodong. The third thing is that Xixia promised to serve several war horses of our dynasty every year and ceded the various places occupied by our dynasty. This is humiliating, but our dynasty still disagrees. The subtle voice is that your Liao Kingdom intends to use troops to our dynasty."

Dozens of important officials knew about these, but the other ministers didn't know about them. After hearing this, they talked about them all downstairs.

Several Xia envoys were shocked, what the hell is Liaodong doing?

"I will answer this for Your Majesty. I will talk about Liaodong first. As far as I know, Jiaozhi invaded our Yongzhou in the past and killed more than 100,000 people. It was your Liao Kingdom who sent troops to support it and provided a large number of weapons. Otherwise, Jiaozhi would not have such courage."

"You're talking nonsense, how can we Khitan put our troops in Jiaozhi!" Yelu Kuan was angry, stood up and shouted.

"Why can't we put our troops in Jiaozhi?"

"Jiazhi is far away in the south, how can our Liao Kingdom place troops on Jiaozhi!"

There is no problem saying this now. The people of Liao were not used to the hot weather in the south and even Kaifeng City was not defended, and it was in Jiaozhi, a more distant south.

However, the refutation points and misunderstandings are here.
To be continued...
