The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 33
Zhao Tun entered the imperial city, entered Yanfu Palace with his servants, and stopped in front of a palace gate.

The servant left, and the two young eunuchs in front of the door greeted him, and Zhao Tong opened the door and walked in.

The Emperor Daojun still wore plain blue Taoist robes today, and was sitting behind the Longshu desk writing. When he saw Zhao Tun entering, he didn't speak, but concentrated on fiddling with the penholder in his hand.

Zhao Tang looked at it, but it was a Taoist scripture explaining the law of thunder. The scriptures were obscure and difficult to understand, covered with clouds and mist, but the words were beautifully written.

He didn't move, just watched, and after a quarter of an hour, Emperor Daojun stopped writing and said: "Second brother did a lot of great things yesterday!"

Zhao Tong wondered, "Daddy..."

The Emperor Daojun looked at him with his own majesty, and said: "You ran to the third brother's mansion to kill people. The third brother didn't dare to tell the outside about it. He just came to tell me that you are domineering and arrogant. Not an iota of royal demeanor."

Zhao Tang understands this cheap old man, killing people is not the point, even if it is a military officer appointed by him personally, the point is to lose the royal demeanor.

Zhao Tang thought for a while and said: "Daddy, the boy is doing it for the good of the third brother, and let the boy bear the bad name of murder alone. As long as the other brothers and sisters are healthy and happy, they are in the same vein, and they are in harmony with each other, and the boy is voluntary." Be that yellow beard, Zhang Yide!"

The Emperor Daojun stared at him for a moment and said, "But how do you say it?"

Zhao Tong saluted and said: "The weight of a war horse is far greater than that of a weapon. Feng Ju, the commander of the commander, took thousands of horses away without a military order. This is a heinous crime. It is not a pity to die ten thousand times. Not in Tokyo, such a big event, don’t you know to play Daddy? He dares to act on his own, but in his eyes, the court officials are clearly traitors and treacherous ministers with bad intentions!”

Emperor Daojun thought about it: "That's the case, this person is very courageous, and he is afraid of accidents."

Zhao Tong said again: "This person has a younger sister, called Feng's slave, who is the third brother's concubine. With such a shallow status, Feng Ju used this to make a big deal of going in and out of King Jia's mansion, and repeatedly approached the back house without any scruples. Third brother What kind of person is the son, Zhilan Yushu, gentle gentleman, lofty and far-sighted, open-minded, such rebellious officials are around the third elder brother, and the son is afraid of being unfavorable to the third elder brother, even if he tarnishes his own reputation and loses In order to save Hai'er's accumulated reputation, he also wanted to protect the health of his brothers and sisters. Hai'er had no hesitation, so he killed Feng Ju directly. "

Emperor Daojun nodded: "Second brother, all your painstaking efforts are in vain."

Zhao Tong said: "But Daddy Fan understands, brothers and sisters are not to blame, children are meaningless."

Emperor Daojun nodded, and changed the subject: "How about Gao Qiu?"

Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment: "I'm afraid I was deceived by Feng Ju? The boy hasn't asked the reason yet."

Daojun said: "You know that I am not asking about this matter, so don't play sloppy eyes, and don't ask the truth!"

Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard some rumors, but it has nothing to do with the baby!"

The Emperor Daojun shook his head and said: "You still say it's irrelevant, you two hate each other, it's not you but who else!"

Zhao Tang immediately complained: "Father, I heard that Gao Qi picked up the ashes, but this kind of tricks of the rivers and lakes, the means of the green forest, how can a child bother to do it, not to mention the accidental death of Gao Yanei, leaving a group of wives and concubines, even if, Even if...Gao Qiu really picks up the ashes, it may not be known, but even if this kind of thing is indeed wronged and his reputation is tarnished, the child thinks it is nothing."

The Emperor Daojun said: "So what should I say, such an evil thing, a joke by the government and the public, and shameless by the people, how can it be nothing!"

Zhao Tang said: "Dad, please think about it. Didn't Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Wang all bear such a bad reputation? But which one is not a real gentleman, educated and rich, talented, and famous in history. Those who clear this matter will clear themselves. It should be regarded as a blessing that Qiu can be on the same boat with the two gentlemen at this moment."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Tang took a sneak peek, this old man was very happy in his life, he played absurdly, and his brain circuit was different from ordinary people. Over the years, Zhao Tang had already figured out the general idea, and often his words did not follow the usual path.

But the Emperor Daojun thought for a while, his expression was aftertaste, and he nodded: "It's the same, but Gao Qi didn't study much, and he didn't know these old things. It was his honor to be able to stand side by side with the two gentlemen. Fortunately, he ran to my side crying Complain, and when I turn back, I will ask him to come over and teach him a good lesson so that he knows the disadvantages of not studying."

Zhao Tong said, "Daddy Shengming."

Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother has been working hard these days, so he should take a good rest."

Zhao Tong said: "Thank you for your concern, Daddy, there is something I would like to ask you to play."

Emperor Daojun asked curiously: "What's the matter with the second brother?"

Zhao Tong said: "My boy wants to restart the racecourse and raise war horses!"

The Emperor Daojun was silent when he heard the words, and he said after a long while, "Why did the second brother suddenly have such an idea?"

Zhao Tian sighed slightly in his heart, did he suddenly have such an idea?Looking at the current Song Dynasty, the number of war horses in the country is less than [-]% when the country was founded, and almost all of them are gathered in Tokyo. Even the Western Army, there are not many horses that are easy to use.

Since Emperor Yingzong, several generations of emperors have been doing bad things about war horses. Along with Hedong, several horse farms in Shaanxi have been abandoned, and no one in Hehuang area raises horses anymore, and the people don't care about this matter. Right now, it is on the edge of Tokyo. There is also a half-dead horse farm, and the horses that come out are often preempted by dignitaries. Sometimes the officers from all walks of life have no horses to ride, and can only sit on ordinary poor horses.

Zhao Tang thought to himself, this matter has to be fooled, to this cheap old man, it is useless to talk about military principles, we can only do what he likes, but it is so!

He walked two steps left and right in the hall, and said: "My son has read Zhuge Wuhou's list of being a teacher since he was a child, and he said that he will do his best and die after death. My son deeply believes that now under my father's rule, Haiyan, Heqing, and the world are peaceful. It's a pity, the boy has been determined since he was a child, to recover Yanyun, to be filial to his father, but when his father achieved great achievements, the four directions are peaceful, and his martial arts can surpass the two emperors of Wenjing and Emperor Wu Taizong. "

Emperor Daojun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he frowned and said, "What does this have to do with the horse?"

Zhao Tong said: "The horses bought by Yu Xia Fan are always fan horses. If we regain Yanyun and the fan horses enter the city, how can we show our great power in the Song Dynasty? What's more... if a child raises a horse, it will save a lot of gold and silver than buying a horse. !"

The Emperor Daojun heard the words and said: "How can you save a lot of gold and silver?"

Zhao Tong thought to himself, how can we not save gold and silver? Although the Song Dynasty did not have the land of Yanyun, there was no place to raise horses at all. It is just that the official horse raising is full of greed and money, and the private horse raising is cleverly named, and various tricks are taxed. In this way, the cost is naturally higher than buying horses abroad.

Take Hehuang Kaibian as an example. After recovering Hehuang, half of the source of military horses was lost. The reason is that the land was returned to the Song Dynasty, but no one raised horses. After raising it, the price is much higher than buying it directly, and then it can't be sold, and a vicious circle begins.
