The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1624 The Invisible Contradiction
"Zhao Kuangyin would use such a reason to flaunt his authority, but I underestimated him. Our holy religion really suffered a big loss this time. People started to quit the holy religion soon after getting Jiuding. Zhao Kuangyin is really not simple."

The leader of the Manichaeism is a little depressed now. Zhao Kuangyin admitted that he has Jiuding when he got Jiuding. Originally, according to the original script, Zhao Kuangyin should have hidden this news.

After all, Jiuding is a symbol, and those who have evil intentions will definitely take this opportunity to show a peep at Jiuding. When they know that Zhao Kuangyin has Jiuding in his hand, the court will have to rush to death.

Especially the leader of the Manichaeism was very excited when he got the news that the imperial court had obtained the Jiuding. As for the process being automatically ignored, he was very happy because the Jiuding had helped the Manichaeism a lot.

But Zhao Kuangyin not only did not hide it, but instead issued an order to inform the whole country, and made a big publicity in that Da Song Daily, successfully establishing another prestige for himself.

"Cult Master, we really lost a lot this time. Many of our hardcore followers automatically announced their resignation after hearing about it. This made us very passive. It is not an option to continue like this, but the good situation in various places is gone."

Xiang Wentian is also very anxious now, Zhao Kuangyin's move seems very plain, but the people of the whole Song Dynasty have a natural admiration for him, and they dare not compete with Da Song.

Those who had listened to their words and opposed Da Song all voluntarily withdrew at this time, and some people voluntarily wanted to surrender to the government, and the entire Manichaeism lost nearly two-thirds of its ordinary congregation.

Now only the most core disciples of Manichaeism are left, and it can be said that there are only some hardcore supporters left.

"Emissary to the left, let those desperadoes surrender themselves, declare that our Manichaeism has been completely destroyed, and let the court relax its vigilance against us. There is a bigger situation in this seat."

The destruction of Manichaeism was not a real destruction, but a diversion of attention. I believe that the entire court would believe it if a few more important figures were handed over, because Zhao Kuangyin's confidence was now inflated.

"Unexpectedly, the emperor has such a clever method. It took just over a month to clear up the world. Now the rebellion in the world has been automatically suppressed. Those people have returned home automatically, and some have surrendered. "

Zhao Xu came to Miao Xun's mansion today. Miao Xun has basically gotten used to the duties of being a political adviser, and every day is fulfilling. Today is a ten-day break. Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Xu who came, and Miao Xun hurriedly entertained him.

"Father's move is really clever. I never thought that the rebellion instigated by the Manichaeism would be resolved under such circumstances. It seems that Father has been ignoring it all the time. It turned out that he had planned it."

Zhao Xu also had to admire Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin knew that when the Manichaeism rebelled across the country, he still insisted on finding Jiuding first. Jiuding was found under such a strange environment, so Zhao Kuangyin directly announced to the whole country.

Moreover, the effect of publicizing it every day on Da Song Daily is no longer necessary. Obviously, Zhao Xu did not expect Zhao Kuangyin to do this either.

"Your Majesty is a once-in-a-thousand-year Mingjun, a wise founding monarch of a generation. Although he suffered setbacks in the Tubo incident some time ago, this does not affect His Majesty's wisdom."

Miao Xun wasn't flattering. Zhao Kuangyin was indeed a bit depressed at that time. The ministers were all wondering if His Majesty would be depressed because of this. Soon Zhao Kuangyin answered them with actions.

It was only at this time that they remembered that Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor who was shot with a knife and a gun. At the beginning, he became a general from a small school, and finally became an emperor. Can this method be less?
"I really don't understand Father's thoughts now. I didn't expect him to do this. This has indeed saved us a lot of trouble. Is this the heart of the emperor?"

Zhao Xu used to just think about how to unify the world and let the people in the world live a good life. He really had no experience with the art of the emperor. In fact, the art of the emperor is not so easy to learn.

"To be honest, my lord, you should learn the art of becoming a king. Now that the world is in peace, you should learn a lot of things. In fact, governing the country is more difficult than conquering the world. This is the path you must take in the future. An emperor is not necessarily born, but also needs to be learned."

According to Miao Xun, Zhao Kuangyin is not yet a qualified emperor, at least he is still a wise emperor in governing the country, but Zhao Kuangyin has an advantage that he is good at adopting correct advice.

"I'm already a political advisor. I will take over Dou Yi's position in the future. Dou Yi is getting old and will return to her hometown soon. I think His Majesty's arrangement must be for the future of the lord."

Zhao Kuangyin knew about Miao Xun's relationship with Zhao Xu, so he let Miao Xun continue to serve as a political adviser, greatly reducing the power of the prime minister and forming a school of his own. Isn't there any idea?

"I know that the court has recently said that you, the political adviser, have given away most of the prime minister's power. I think this is ordered by the emperor, right?"

Zhao Pu has been the prime minister for many years by himself, and he has monopolized all the power. The emperor said that there is nothing to do, but in fact, he has already raised some concerns about him in his heart. If you have too much power as a prime minister, the emperor will be dissatisfied.

Later, when Zhao Xu was in charge of the state, he once again proposed to set up the left and right prime ministers. These seemed to be Zhao Xu's own idea, but in fact Zhao Kuangyin also informed him, otherwise why didn't Dou Yi be abolished in the future!
It can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin also has his own thoughts in his heart. The contradiction between imperial power and relative power has always existed in all dynasties. Although the Song Dynasty did not show it, isn't it obvious?

"My lord, I believe you also know that the prime ministers of all dynasties can control the government affairs, and Zhao Pu followed His Majesty from the beginning, but he has formed a powerful force after serving as prime minister for a long time. Not allowed, this is the imperial court."

Although Miao Xun and Zhao Pu came from the same school, they both have their own ambitions, but they also have differences. Zhao Pu hopes that his own can be famous in the world, but now he has monopolized power and is famous all over the world.

Miao Xun wanted to help Mingjun create a peaceful and prosperous world. The two had different ideas. Zhao Pu had already changed his original intention after being the prime minister for so many years, and he began to vaguely constrain the court, accepting bribes, buying officials and selling them. Officer, although the emperor didn't express his position, he was definitely wary of him in his heart.

Isn't Miao Xun serving as a political adviser to restrain Zhao Pu? Every small move of the emperor has a deep meaning. Zhao Kuangyin believes that Zhao Pu will definitely understand his thoughts.

If he is smart, he will be his own prime minister honestly, and don't stretch his hands so long, otherwise don't blame the emperor for being rude.
