Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 44 I am the General of Tiance
Zhao Xin asked, "What's the problem?"

Zhao Zhen could only say that he couldn't explain it.

Zhao Xin also said: "Dad, you let the middleman supervise the military governor, and then let the military governor supervise the military commander. Isn't this showing that you don't trust the people you promoted at all?"

"In the final analysis, it is because the people who are promoted are not trusted by you, Dad, that is why they need to supervise each other."

"I know, this may be the ancestral rule."

“That’s why I have to do this.”

"If we don't send someone to supervise them, they might turn around and chop off your head, Daddy."

"But Daddy, you want others to fight for you, and you tie their hands. How can they fight happily?"

"If I tie your hands now, will you still be able to beat Madam Miao?"

"Just do as I say. Choose the person you trust the most, give him authority, and let him fight."

"This way, our Song Dynasty will surely win."

Should I listen to the words of this genius?

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but think so.

but……

So what if I am the most trusted?
Back then, wasn’t Emperor Taizu the most trusted person around Emperor Shizong of Zhou?

However, it was this person who was most trusted by Emperor Shizong of Zhou who put on the yellow robe and seized the world of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

and so……

They in the Song Dynasty didn't care about the upper and lower levels, so they needed to be so cautious against the military generals and military governors.

If he listened to Zui Xinglai's words, he would be courting his own destruction.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Xin, wondering whether he should tell Zhao Xin about the Zhao family's unpleasant past.

After all!
Morally speaking, what the Zhao family did was definitely wrong.

Seeing that his father didn't say anything, he just looked at him meaningfully.

Zhao Xin didn't know what the other party was thinking.

He frowned from time to time, which made Zhao Xin doubt whether there was something wrong with what he said.
Zhao Zhen was very conflicted.

Should I tell Zui Xinglai?

He is only three years old!

Zhao Zhen didn't want to pollute his innocence so quickly.

finally……

Zhao Zhen still planned not to say it!

Although actually...

The Zhao family's plot to usurp the throne should be known to all the civil and military officials in the court.

and……

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, which military general did not seek power and usurp the throne?
On the contrary, it is because of the Zhao family that the world has a rare peace.

Then, Zhao Zhen skipped this step and said to Zhao Xin directly: "It is impossible to lift the restrictions on military personnel and military governors. Even if your father agrees, the people in the court will not agree. You should think of a way to win the war without changing the status quo!"

Zhao Xin said, "Then father, you can give me the title of General of Tiance, Governor of Yongzhou, King of Qin, Minister of the Chancellery, and command the Twelve Guards Generals. I will personally go and pacify Xixia!"

As soon as this was said.

The sound of spanking could be heard again in the room.

Zhao Zhen asked, "Is Tian Bu Tiance General or Yong Bu Yongzhou Governor?"

Zhao Xin said with a wronged look on his face: "You were the one who asked me to find a solution! I told you, but you still hit me!"

Zhao Zhen really doubted whether Zhao Xin knew what Emperor Taizong Wen had done.

If he knew, how could he dare to say such a thing.

If he doesn't know, then he must be playing dumb!
of course!

Zhao Zhen didn't take this seriously at this time.

after all……

He finally had such a son when he was thirty years old.

It makes no sense that he doesn't even trust his own son. The key is that Zui Xinglai is as smart as Cao Chong!
Who couldn't love it?

Even though he was Lady Zhu's son, he didn't like him that much.

At this time, Madam Zhu...

The servant in the harem reported to Madam Zhu that the emperor had gone to Madam Miao again.

"Speaking of which, this official has been really doting on Zui Xinglai recently."

Madam Zhu didn't want to cause trouble, so she told the other person to shut up and said, "The emperor naturally has his own ideas. You are just a servant, why do you criticize me? Don't say such nonsense again in the future!"

Madam Zhang was also very angry!
It is because of her unreliable pregnancy that the officials now go to see Miss Miao.

Then he even began to dislike his own daughter.

Queen Cao also learned the news.

But her mentality is still good.

Anyway...

The emperor either goes to Madam Zhang or to Madam Miao. What difference does it make?
I just won't come to her place!
……

Then, another month passed.

Because the weather was too cold, his teacher's class was simply suspended.

As for his Jinyiwei, now he just gave them money and let them grow.

After all, I might have to take part in some guard work in the future, and that cannot be done without a strong physique.

In addition...

Also see if they can find a teacher for themselves.

Zhao Xin did not specify who the teacher should find, but just let them find it themselves. Anyway, Zhao Xin was responsible for paying the tuition.

of course!

When his parents heard this, they immediately became nervous.

After all, if possible, who would be willing to let their son do something dangerous?
In order to avoid the adults' worries, Zhao Xin also asked them to bring a message to their parents.

The message first said that he wanted to promote their son to be his confidant, and then, this confidant would definitely have some guard work attached to it.

But if they really don't want their son to be in danger.

That’s okay too!
Then instead of practicing martial arts, you can just do some clerical work.

only……

Let me be frank with you: do you think your son, who does clerical work, can do better than those who take the imperial examinations?

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

I hope you can think it over carefully.

Of course!
If you follow Duke Shou, your treatment in the future will definitely not be too bad.

When Zhao Xin said this to their parents, it was hard to believe that the child was so young and could already speak like this.

Looking at the extra ten thousand coins every month, the daily income of the people of the Song Dynasty was only about one hundred coins at most. Of course, there must be more, such as earning two hundred or three hundred coins a day.

But most of them spend about 100 coins a day.

This is ten thousand wen a month, which is equivalent to the monthly income of at least three adults.

Faced with such enormous wealth, and the possibility that the money may even increase in the future, if you do not agree, you would be no different from a fool.

Of course, we still need to discuss it with several other companies.

See what the others say.

At last……

People die for money and birds die for food. If you don't seize this opportunity, you deserve to be poor all your life.

Then Zhao Xin also quickly got the basic information of some soldiers on the border. Sure enough, he knew that Di Qing was a tough guy!
The report said that when he was fighting the enemy, he had disheveled hair and wore a bronze mask, and he went in and out among the bandits, and no one dared to confront him.

Isn't this the kind of person who can defeat thousands of enemies?

It’s a pity that I am young, otherwise, I would let you be my Yuchi Jingde.

I'll take a bow and you'll take a spear, and together we'll be invincible.
