Chapter 797

After listening to Tianwen Tianxiang's story for a long time, Zhao Bing felt a sense of clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky. He realized that feudal society itself was an autocratic society, the emperor was a dictator, and decentralized power among the literati class was also to better implement autocratic rule. Then it was natural that his own autocracy was nothing wrong. And all the authorities who challenged him could be regarded as rebellion and their crimes were unforgivable. Of course, with a "good emperor" like himself, what's wrong with being an autocratic one?

Now that the essence has been discovered, Zhao Bing feels that he is much more relaxed, and the so-called literati and official group is not unshakable. The reason why they can discuss matters in the court is precisely because of the emperor. Therefore, the real enemy of the literati and official officials is not the emperor, but the powerful ministers who belong to their origins but want to manipulate the emperor are naturally divided into two factions: loyalty and treacherous. As for who is loyal and who is traitor, the only one who can have power is probably the emperor. Everyone has to wait until they die before discussing it.

Of course, everything has to be based on himself as the emperor. Some people are questioning their throne that they are wrong and want to establish a new king. The basis is that Emperor Deyou has not died, Emperor Jingyan succeeded to the throne without a letter of passing the throne, and the empress dowager has no approval. Zhao Rong was appointed as the crown prince by Ningzong that year, but Li Zong got the throne because the treacherous minister Shi Miyuan failed to fulfill his wish. Now that Li Zong is dead, Emperor Deyou is rescued from the throne, and Zhao Rong should be succeeded to the descendants.

In Zhao Bing's opinion, this reason is simply nonsense. As a result, it was denied from Lizong, and the throne was completely denied after repeated transmissions. The reason was simply disgusting. What's even more ridiculous is that the rehabilitation of Zhao Rong was the Empress Dowager Xie, who was denied by them. The so-called descendants were also chosen by him, which was simply putting the cart before the horse. But after a bunch of people, after packaging and exaggeration, some people believed it and followed suit to create a new king.

Another reason was very unfavorable to Zhao Bing. When he had just succeeded to the throne and moved to Qiongzhou, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he issued an order to deprive all the titles of Emperor Deyou and Empress Dowager Xie, who were granted the titles of the Yuan Dynasty, and issued a clan family. This is equivalent to self-denial of the origin of the throne, which is suspected of being against the ancestors. However, no one opposed it when he did this. Besides, it was his own family affairs, but now it has become evidence that is not conducive to him...

"Carewell Wen, can you tell that Zhao Mengqi, the Prince of Yiyang?" Zhao Bing thought for a while and felt that Wen Tianxiang was still reliable. He still had to rely on him to calm the matter, so he asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Yiyang is the heir chosen by the deposed Empress Xie as the king of Zhen Zhao Rong. I only heard of his name and never met him." Wen Tianxiang was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why the little emperor suddenly turned to him, and then said, "As far as I know, he was the thirteenth generation grandson of Taizu. His ancestors received the title of Prince of Prince. When his father was in Xuan Fenglang, his family had fallen into decline. Later, the deposed Empress Xie inherited the king of Zhen, lived in Huzhou, and disappeared after Lin'an fell."

"Oh, what's the Geng this year?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked again. He knew that generally choosing a prince for the clan of the clan of the terrible family was to be close to him and the descendants of those with higher titles were the descendants of the descendants of those with higher titles to improve their status. And for those rehabilitated clans, the close relatives would inevitably have resentment, so they would choose a distant branch and a low-ranking children as their heirs to make them grateful.

"Your Majesty I don't know the details. You'll be in your forties now!" Wen Tianxiang said unsurely, but he was already alert.

After years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Wen Tianxiang's mind has changed. He knew that in political struggles, if you can't understand, then don't say too much, otherwise you may have to pay a heavy price; if you understand and want to say something, you must say it cleverly, otherwise you will be able to speak quickly, otherwise you will be able to speak quickly. Small mistakes may lead to endless consequences and lay a fatal disaster for yourself. Then it is better to keep silent and get insurance.

Wen Tianxiang also clearly realized that the little emperor had talked to him alone for a long time today, which was not a temporary rise. Now the situation in the court is subtle, the more this is the more likely it is to have other meanings. Because the struggle for power is the most intense and complex, and it is also the struggle for someone to benefit the most. He had just explained the "Ji King Zhao Xun Case" to His Majesty, and immediately asked his descendants, saying it was a coincidence, that was really a coincidence.

"Well, I recently received a document from the court saying that I had found it and now I have settled it in the Old Fu Palace and recommended him to be the prefect of Lin'an." Zhao Bing took a sip of tea and said. He had seen that Wen Tianxiang had become wary, so he led the topic step by step to further explore his attitude.

"Your Majesty has already been approved?" Wen Tianxiang frowned suddenly after hearing this, and asked with his butt.

"Haha, Wen Xiang also knows that although I am also a Zong Zheng, I have not seen a clan relative for many years, and I don't know what to do, so I temporarily detained it. I don't know if it is possible. I would like to ask Wen Xiang below to avoid neglecting and losing etiquette." Zhao Bing said with a wry smile, shook his head, and his small movements did not escape his eyes, and found the uneasiness in his heart.

"Your Majesty is right to be cautious, there are rules in it." Wen Tianxiang nodded vigorously and seemed to breathe a long sigh.

"Oh, please give me some advice!" Zhao Bing looked very interested and leaned forward.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the royal family must record the genealogy from birth and issue the jade certificate, as a basis for this." Wen Tianxiang said, "The genealogy records its branches, marriage, official title transfer, merits and crimes, and date of birth and death. The employment experience of men with official titles has relatively detailed and true records, only because of the differences in personal experiences. Those who die young only write not as good as their names. Women should be relatively brief, only attached to their dependents, not their names, and not their officials, and those who are married only write to someone."

"This is difficult! Lin'an's lost genealogy is missing, and he may be plundered by the Tartars. The genealogy hidden by the Chief Secretary of the Nanzong was snatched away by the Pu thief. After the last time I captured Quanzhou, I ordered people to search, but disappeared, and I am afraid that it would be destroyed by it." Zhao Bing slapped his thigh and said in amazement.

"Your Majesty must be cautious in this matter. The genealogy was also lost during the Jingkang Incident. During the Shaoxing period, someone pretended to be the emperor and cheated. Although it was found out, it also damaged the royal reputation and was attracted by people at that time." Wen Tianxiang said.

"Well, but I think this matter will not be wrong, otherwise how could the ministers in the court write to me!" Zhao Bing nodded and shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, I think..." Wen Tianxiang wanted to get up after hearing this, but sat down again, without saying that.

"Wen Xiang has something to say, but he just says it bluntly. Is there anything strange about it?" Zhao Bing saw this and picked up the water cup to drink water, then put it down.

"Your Majesty, I think there are many things wrong with it!" Wen Tianxiang has been in court for many years and knows that the young emperor is very disgusted with the struggles of court officials. Therefore, he knows that he must be very cautious about struggles, especially power struggles. He must not be easily involved in the whirlpool of power struggles. But this matter is very involved, and the young emperor seems to be unaware of it, so he still said it after thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, our dynasty is a common practice for the royal family to be given land by the emperor to build a house and live in one place. It should be given by the emperor. Otherwise, there will be suspicion of usurpation. In addition, the prefect of Kyoto will be appointed as the crown prince, which means that it is extremely inappropriate."

"It seems that those rumors are true!" Zhao Bing said in a deep voice after hearing this.

"Your Majesty has heard of it?" Wen Tianxiang said, but then he felt that he was very stupid. The little emperor has been in charge for many years and has countless confidants in the court. How could he not know about such a thing?

"Yes, they still miss each other for so many years!" Zhao Bing snorted coldly, "I was ordered to go to Qiongzhou to go to the court. At that time, the late emperor was seriously ill, but some people were very dissatisfied with the teachings. They secretly sent people to find descendants of the royal family in Jiangnan to inherit the throne. The queen was able to succeed the throne with the insistence of the empress dowager and the support of General Manager Jiang. I have also treated them well over the years and have not pursued them. So I did not take it seriously after hearing that this year's grand banquet was hosted by the Prince of Yiyang and Lu Xiang. Now Wen Xiang Yipeng reminds him that it is obviously an ulterior motive!"

"Your Majesty, someone is going to rebel!" Wen Tianxiang was also surprised. He also knew about the storm of the young emperor's succession. He knew that Zhang Shijie strongly opposed it at that time. Lu Xiufu's attitude was ambiguous. It can be said that he was able to succeed the throne with the support of Liu Fu and Jiang Jin. The situation was once very critical. But after that, Zhang Shijie suffered repeated defeats and his strength was greatly damaged, so the young emperor relied on the Qiongzhou Army to reverse the situation.

"There should be this sign, otherwise they would not have written to write to Wen Xiang to stay in the Western Xinjiang, so as not to ruin their affairs!" Zhao Bing said angrily.

"Your Majesty, are they also involved?" Wen Tianxiang looked at the small yellow door on the left and right and made tea behind the screen, and there was no one else. He dipped his fingers in the teacup, and wrote two words on the table and asked softly.

"It should be him!" Zhao Bing shook his head, and also drank some tea and wrote a word on the table.

"It's best, and the situation is still possible to recover!" Wen Tianxiang sighed after seeing it, and at the same time wiped the words on the table with his hands. He also secretly thanked that he had just told the truth. He understood that the power struggle, the successful ones are kings and marquis, and the temple is high and the temple is free and easy; the loser is either a prisoner or a bandit, and seeks far away from the world and cannot be obtained. From the conversation, he has found that His Majesty has much more information than himself. He not only has the intention of asking for advice, but also has the intention of temptation. If he hides something, he will be expelled into an alternative.

"I don't understand that they should know the current situation, but what I don't understand is why the storm is caused when the country is restored?" Zhao Bing splashed the tea in the cup one by one and sighed.

"Your Majesty, as I think, they are dissatisfied with Your Majesty's position in the past, and then they ordered severe punishment of all treason officials, making him worried that Your Majesty would settle the accounts after pacifying Jiangnan. Therefore, he was in a panic, and he took advantage of the opportunity of Your Majesty's personal expedition to Ezhou to win over some old officials who defected to him to cause trouble." Wen Tianxiang analyzed.

"What should I do if I take Wen Xiang?" Zhao Bing asked with his own hands pouring tea.

"Now Your Majesty is in control, and the center is in control, it all depends on Your Majesty's intention!" Wen Tianxiang said with politeness. He knew that in the struggle for power, the most important thing is who controls the greatest power, so the greater the room for operation.

He knew very well what the meaning of power is. From the lowest level, strength first includes the power of physical elimination. That is to say, if you master this power, you can eliminate the opponent's body and threaten or harm to the opponent's life. If you have this power, you can limit your life to the opponent when necessary. Therefore, it can make the opponent lose his courage to a certain extent, so that you can effectively control the opponent. The emperor's powerful power over his subordinates in history is an important manifestation of low-level strength.

At a higher level, strength includes the power to limit the other party's economy and to attack the other party's reputation. For example, controlling the lifeline of the economy can make the opponent poor and unable to survive; mastering the tools of public opinion or the right to speak may make the opponent unable to argue. In this way, the opponent can be forced to be in a disadvantageous position in the struggle for power. At a higher level, the opponent can be able to get out of the struggle for power.

Of course, this highest ability is often accompanied by low-level abilities to form a repetition and cycle. The highest level of using power is to make the other party eliminated in the struggle for power. If this goal cannot be achieved, it can force the other party to be eliminated by destroying the other party's body, such as killing, imprisonment, etc. In short, strength includes financial power, human rights and public opinion control. Generally speaking, in the struggle for power, we can deprive the other party of the ability to stop the other party's body of the body, curb the other party's source of economic resources, and other abilities to attack the other party's reputation and isolate the other party in life can be collectively called the "power" in the struggle for power.

Generally speaking, in the overall structure of the power tower, the stronger the strength it has; the lower the level, the weaker the strength it has. Moreover, the strong will always be stronger, and the weaker the weaker. The higher the upper level, because of the strong and rich resources, the more optimistic his development is; the lower the level, the less resources he has mastered, the weaker the strength he has, the more obstacle he has to be slaughtered, the greater the resistance he has to develop. Therefore, with power, everything is there; without power, everything will be lost.

Therefore, striving to be at the top, striving to build strong strength, and ensuring one's existence is the principle that must be followed in seizing the highest power. The young emperor has been in power for many years, and first of all, under his absolute control, the army can be said to be unable to penetrate the needle or splash water. The Gyeonggi area is the most elite and loyal guardian, and it is difficult to shake with just some tricks.
