Five hundred and sixtieth chapters the way of the king
In the palace, Zhao Gou was always watching the changes in all aspects.
The reactions of civil and military ministers from outside the world, the reactions of local officials and literati officials, and the reactions of all kinds of people in the palace!
The former was not beyond his expectations, and they all paid great attention to it.
But the latter, "There is still no movement yet? It's rare, rare!"
Looking through the report from the Imperial City Office and the Jinyiwei, Zhao Gou shook his head and laughed.
Empress Xing and Concubine Pan have their own strengths and weaknesses. The legitimate descendants are not favored, and the favored ones are also Guan. When they hear the news, they can calm down. Whether they are secretly contacting Zeng Ze and others in the palace, or asking civil and military officials to spy on Zhao Gou's heart outside, they can stop and remain silent!
"It's okay for Xing, I don't want Pan to have such a heart!" It's really rare!
And since that's the case, he would sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and continue watching.
In one month, they can stand it; in two months, what about three months?
Then Zhao Gou waited until the end of the year.
The winter in the Central Plains is still heavy snow, and the weather is cold. I think there are less than three or two snow in the next winter for a few months, and one snow cannot fall three or five centimeters deep. In addition, the many inaccuracies during the Chinese New Year, the New Year holiday is really boring.
But the New Year Festival is different now. The entire city of Bianjing is decorated with lights and colorful air.
Whether it is a city street or a restaurant or a tile city, there are crowds of people under the colorful lanterns hanging high, like fish crossing the river.
"This is the foundation of my Zhao family, and it will be your foundation in the future."
Zhao Gou looked at his two sons. Today, the father and son and the guards around him were all dressed in casual clothes. He stood on the top floor of a restaurant inside the Sourzao Gate, looking down at the railing, and catching the surrounding fun in his eyes.
"Basic?"
Zhao Guan and Zhao Yuan were both a little confused.
What are they looking at now? Market vendors and civilians, is this the foundation of the court and themselves? The father was joking.
Although in the education they received, these people are indeed the foundation of the country.
The name is: The people are the most important, and the country is the next, so why is the king less?
But these are all scenes, just like saying that they are friendly and respectful.
So even if no one tells them explicitly, the facts do not prevent them from having their own opinions in their hearts. Compared with these countless beings, officials, the army and the gentry, they will be the real cornerstone of the Zhao family and their foundation.
It’s not because the teacher taught them that the four people in the world are the most important.
It is because my mother reminded them more than once that they should make more friends and close friends in the palace school, and use this as their wings, and their foundation will be solid in the future.
Because the students of the palace school are either rich or noble, their fathers and ancestors are all important officials of the country and generals in the army.
Ten years later, when the battle for the throne begins, the support of court officials will be a very important bargaining chip.
"That's because you haven't gotten to power."
Zhao Yuan was even more courageous and opened his mouth to express his doubts. Zhao Gou's answer made the two children even more confused and even more confused.
"Because you have not yet taken office, because you still have to show yourself in front of your father, and to manage your reputation and power to compete for the throne, so you should make more friends in the palace school now, just to be the elders who are in charge of the soldiers behind them, which is very important to you."
"But when you successfully got on the throne and sat on that chair, everyone's identities changed." Zhao Gou pointed to the direction of the imperial city and said, frightening the little faces of Zhao Guan and Zhao Yuan both turned pale.
The two children are very intimate with Zhao Gou on weekdays, but they also know what that chair means. Not to mention that they are not the prince, even the prince cannot covet the position. They are still very young.
"The emperor is the emperor, holding the power of the world and controlling the mountains and rivers. His loneliness is destined by God, and the so-called lonely man deserves his name. Because everyone in this world can kill the emperor, naturally everyone will be afraid of the emperor. The emperor is destined to have no friends."
"Look at the friends you make in the palace school now have extraordinary origins. Their grandfathers, either ministers in the court or generals in the world, can give you some help when you compete for the throne. Now you have a very good relationship, and you may even feel that they are even more close than your own brothers..."
Zhao Gou said here, Zhao Guan and Zhao Yuan's two villains had white faces and their faces were all kneeling on the ground with a thud.
"Get up, do I want you to kneel down?"
With a stern face, Zhao Gou's voice became heavier. The two villains quickly stood up, but the expression on their faces was still showing fear.
"Look, we are father and son. I have only you two sons. Before I get angry, you are afraid that you are so scared. This is especially true between father and son. When you are king, you still expect that you will have true friends in the future?"
Zhao Gou thought of some secret reports he had read, and felt like he was watching a child play house, and couldn't help laughing.
"Although you were princes before, you might even be princes, you are still the emperor's ministers."
"It has been reduced to a thousand years. There are not too many princes who have been sentenced to death in history, but not too many princes who have been deposed."
"It is the matter between your uncle and your grandfather, and the matter between your father and your grandfather, many people in the world are still vivid in their minds."
"In a sense, you are not really different from them now. You are essentially the same kind of people."
"But when you sit on the dragon throne, your identity will change everything. There is no friendship between father, son and brother. Can you and your friends last forever?"
"When you are all kings, those who are ministers in the court, those who hold military power in their hands, those who have wings for you before have become those you need to be wary of."
"As for why you need to be vigilant, think about Wang Mang and Yang Jian in history, you should understand why you should be vigilant."
"As long as the court does not make the resentment of heaven and people, it is difficult for the lower-level people to rebel, and the foundations of the world to shake, such as the Yellow Turban of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rebellion of the King at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanhe riots of the Song Dynasty, and the Fang La uprising. However, it is not difficult for powerful ministers to usurp the throne."
"You can reward those people with heavy rewards for gold, silver and jewelry, and you can also promote their official positions, but you must grasp the right amount."
"For the king, one must not only love his wings, but also restrain his wings. Don't give them a chance to indulge them, and don't put them in a dangerous position to test the loyalty of people's hearts. Strict restraints them are the kind of care for them."
Zhao Gou looked at the two dolls and didn't know whether they could understand what he said now. Even if he was already explaining in very straightforward words.
"Today, I will take you out for my father and see the image of all living beings in the market. I want you to truly experience the lives of the people. What is the future for me to be surrounded by the tofu imperial city? Only by walking and looking at it can you truly understand the world."
Zhao Gou looked at the two children and had already been shopping today. Although the two children were just taking a quick look, they finally learned how many copper coins a bunch of candied haws cost, a pound of cooked meat, a cake, and a few candies worth. They knew how much a pound of wine in the restaurant, a carp, and a chicken were worth.
With today's walk, Zhao Gou believed that his son would never be so stupid that he thought that an egg costs dozens of taels of silver, so that the emperor could not even afford the egg!
He would not make an eternal joke about "Why not eat meat minced".
"The Father said that the child can still have more out for a walk in the future?"
Zhao Yuan asked happily. Today, I followed me out of the imperial city and went shopping. I saw the city statues. It was so attractive to the children who were so old that they grew up in the deep palace.
