Chapter 453 The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!
Zhao Zhen wanted the child to become a person who masters knowledge, rather than those pedantic people who are bound by knowledge.
When he walked to Wang Yuyan, the mature woman exuded graceful beauty. Even if she sat there with her knees facing the sky, she was as eye-catching as a blooming peony.
"How about it, my parenting method is very effective?"
Wang Yuyan, who was pretending to be angry, chuckled: "The government always does this. She doesn't tell others if she has any plans. She always surprises people and says that these things have not come..."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I am not good at preaching and can only tell others the results with actions. Whether it is my son or my people, it is the same."
Wang Yuyan lowered her head and said, "Including those old scholars from Xijing?"
Zhao Zhen knew what Wang Yuyan meant and gently pulled her drooping hair: "It's also included them. It's hard for you during this period. I know the efforts you have made in it. How do those people in Xijing lobby for you, Wang family and you? You withstand their pressure and stand with me is the best answer!"
During this period of time, the imperial edicts outside the palace kept coming in and out of the palace. If those people were not coming to lobby, what would it be?
This is a common method, and it is not impossible to use a woman with an imperial decree to lobby the queen and thus influence the emperor's decision.
Zhao Zhen did not give any reward to those in the west of the capital, which was the most unbearable result. The prosperity of the Song Dynasty became stronger day by day, and the old news of moving the capital was mentioned by those who were interested, but moving the capital to Luoyang was impossible for Zhao Zhen and the interest groups in Tokyo.
Today, Tokyo City is the most prosperous city in the world, and naturally it has the greatest interests. If they want them to give up everything in front of them, it is basically impossible to move the capital to Xijing from a new beginning. Besides, Zhao Zhen has tried his best to operate Tokyo City to such a state.
Xijing has a bureaucratic system that is exactly the same as Tokyo City. This was left by Taizu back then, so that the capital will be moved naturally in the future, but gradually as Tokyo Bianliang became more and more prosperous, the capital move was slowly put on hold.
Now there is a trend of rising again, moving is a major event for a country. In this era, the location of the national capital determines the strategic and defensive focus.
The Luoyang Basin is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River and belongs to the hinterland of the Central Plains. From the east and west directions, it is located on the southeast edge of the Loess Plateau, a transition zone between the second and third steps of China's terrain.
Among them, mountains, hills and plains form natural fortifications. Not only does Luoyang not be able to defend without any danger, but in fact, it is behind the mountains and rivers, and the situation is extremely dangerous.
There is a record of the Grand Historian: There is Chenggao in the east, and there is a Fengshima in the west, and the Beihe River in the west, facing Yiluo, which is also reliable.
This is also the reason why Taizu decided to move the capital at the beginning. In the minds of the Song people, defense was the most important. Only by being able to defend can you have the opportunity to fight back. However, this defensive counterattack strategy was completely silent after Taizu Taizong and turned into passive defense.
Zhao Zhen originally decided to move the capital. The terrain of Luoyang City was really suitable for defense, but gradually he realized that what the Song Dynasty lacked was not in the terrain advantage, nor in the soldiers, but in his heart.
Cowardice is a fatal injury to Zhao's family in history. Taizu was injuring his yellow robe and became more afraid of the general's ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Releasing military power with a glass of wine seems to deprive the rights of the generals, and at the same time deprive the strong combat power of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen felt that Taizu's confidence came from his military generals, but he forgot that later kings would not have the means and strategies of military generals.
The way of an emperor is not to be both civil and military, but to know people and make good use of them and lead the country in the right direction.
Zhao Zhen gradually relaxed the constraints on military generals since he took office. The strategy of emphasizing culture over military forces is no longer so obvious. Another point is that even the Privy Councilor Cao Wei can participate in politics and the Deputy Inspector Di Qing can submit a memorial to discuss politics. What are the bonds? You must know that these two people are from a total of 10,000 military generals!
The status of military generals was improved by Zhao Zhen. Although the civil officials were determined to oppose it, after the Song Dynasty expedition to Dangxiang and the south destroyed Dali, the civil officials knew that they could not do without the help of military generals. After all, expanding territory was not something that civil officials were good at.
Zhao Zhen is not good at speaking, he is even a king who is not good at inspiring people with words, but he will use his actions to tell everyone his attitude.
Everything he did was telling the civil and military ministers that, no one could do without the other, the civil and military officials!
This means that the Song Dynasty is no longer the Song Dynasty that was once the one, and this lame giant who stood up and down has been cured and sounded by Zhao Zhen, and there will no longer be fear of fear of war. This is the dignity that a strong country should have.
As the capital of the Song Dynasty, Tokyo City is located in the Central Plains, with a flat horse and no danger to defend, but does not this reflect the confidence of the Song Dynasty?
The ministers looked at Zhao Zhen sitting in the hall, and the emperor they saw today was slightly different from the past. They were wearing long winged hats, but tied their hair with a golden crown, making them look more heroic!
This capable and steady temperament is as awe-inspiring as a hero who creates the world, and all the ministers admire it!
In fact, Zhao Zhen dressed like this at this dynasty meeting to announce his decision. Now the matter of moving the capital has been caused by troublemakers, and the whole city of Tokyo was moved, which is not a good phenomenon.
After a simple etiquette, Zhao Zhen said, "In recent days, my ban has been very lively. The wife outside the palace, the wife of the country, and the imperial edicts of Xijing have been constantly in and out, in order to persuade the queen to blow the wind beside me. The topic of moving the capital to Xijing has been quarreled in the Song Dynasty, but this is not a good state. People are moved and all kinds of speculations have emerged. Today, you and I will discuss it carefully at this dynasty meeting."
As the prime minister, Pang Ji first came out and said, "I think the matter of moving the capital is ridiculous! Originally, Taizu planned to move the capital to Xijing for defense. At that time, Tokyo City had no danger to defend, and the Shili slope to the north was a flat horse. But now my Song Dynasty is strong and powerful, and the army of tigers and wolves, how can I move the capital again?"
He is worthy of being the prime minister. Pang Ji's words were polite and polite, and most people agreed. Even some people who tried to oppose them hesitated a little. In fact, he was just throwing bricks and attracting jade. Everyone was waiting for the attitude of the head official.
Zhao Zhen did not let everyone wait, nodded and said, "What Mr. Pang said is reasonable. Now my great Song Dynasty is strong and powerful, and I am not afraid of the flat land. The most important thing is that I want to defend the national gate for my magnificent Song Dynasty!
Although Tokyo City has no danger to defend, it is a place where the Song Dynasty is about to rush. Once the enemy invades the heartland of our Central Plains, Tokyo City will be the first to be affected. Not only do I want to defend the national gate for the Song Dynasty, but the kings of later generations still have to do this. The emperor guards the national gate and the king dies in the country. My Zhao man must defend it to the death. If someone fears the enemy and tries to travel south to avoid disaster, God will destroy it!"
Zhao Zhen's loud words made the ministers in the hall excited, and also shocked the thoughtful ghosts, and they were sad and anxious to say a word.
