The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 179 A gift for Miao Xun
Right, the method of Zhao Xu's article sounds good. It's a peaceful method, and it doesn't take much effort at all.

It shouldn't be said that it doesn't take much effort, but it should be said that it doesn't need to use weapons and doesn't cause any panic. This is the best way for now.

This foundation is based on the fact that these people must be given high-ranking officials and generous salaries, otherwise there is really no way to implement it.

What is the purpose of being an official? It is nothing more than a high-ranking official with a generous salary and a good wife and son, otherwise who would do this business.

Therefore, it may be said that these pioneers supported Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning for the sake of high officials and generous salary in the future.

Since this is the case, then I will let you enjoy the high officials and rich salary, and you hand over the military power. In this case, it is good for everyone, go and enjoy the blessings.

This is Zhao Xu's conjecture, to take back your power with high officials and generous salary, so it's fiction.

"Well, that's a good idea. I believe these people will agree. If that's the case, I don't have to be infamous forever, hahaha."

It can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin is very happy, and he didn't consider how feasible this idea is.

"Father, aren't you afraid that they will disagree? Who wants to hand over their power to others?"

This was what Zhao Xu was worried about. Although he knew that there was a drink to release the military power, he also knew that these people gave up the military power in the end.

This was obtained by Da Song in exchange for high officials and generous salary, but he didn't know how the specific operation was, and besides, many things were slowly changing when he came here.

He didn't know whether these things could still be implemented, and whether they were willing to give up these military powers willingly.

He has no basis for these things. If he steals chickens and loses money, the gain will not be worth the loss. This is worrying.

"I still have self-confidence. I understand these people. As long as I speak, they will definitely agree. There is nothing to say. I will do it now."

Zhao Kuangyin was also a vigorous and resolute emperor, so he felt that this matter was good and feasible, so he was eager to implement it.

Well, you have to pick a good time, how can you go now, don't you see that it's the 21st of the twelfth lunar month.

There are still a few days until the Spring Festival of the lunar calendar, and now is a happy day, and you actually said that you will dismiss him.

It is a bit unreasonable in terms of common sense, and it is also a bit unreasonable. What will people say about you, the emperor.

"Wait a minute, Father, can you listen to me?" Zhao Xu grabbed Lao Zhao.

"Is there anything else, you didn't see that I was going to do it, get it done as soon as possible, and feel at ease sooner."

Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't wait, he couldn't wait even a second.

"I think it's better for you to talk about it after a while. It's almost Chinese New Year now. Can you let people finish this year and then tell them the news."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized and patted himself on the forehead:

"I'm too happy, let's talk about this matter slowly."

Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, you know, he despises you like this.

"By the way, Xu'er, why haven't I seen Mr. Miao recently? What did he do?" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help asking because he hadn't seen Miao Xun for a long time.

"Mr. Miao Xun is like this. He went to Yangzhou to do some errands and is coming back soon."

"Arrange good people around him to protect him. Such a talented minister is unwilling to be an official in the court, but only wants to stay by your side. I am a little jealous."

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't figure out why this Miao Xun didn't want to be an official?It is more than enough to be a prime minister with his talents.

But he just didn't want to accept the official position, which made Zhao Kuangyin very depressed, and he didn't force it.

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin asked him what he wanted, and after what he said, he only wanted to stay by Zhao Xu's side, and hoped that he would grant him permission.

His father made you an official, but you don't want to do it, you just want to be by his son's side, can a father not be jealous?
"It goes without saying that of course my character is good, what can I say hahaha."

When Zhao Kuangyin heard his son's words, countless black lines appeared on his head, dare you feel sorry for my bad character, right?

My character is not good, how can I have such a son with excellent character like you, but he didn't get entangled in this matter.

"Enn, I see that it is almost time for the Spring Festival. The day before yesterday I sent someone to Nanyang to pick up Mr. Miao's family."

Zhao Kuangyin is also thoughtful, he has not forgotten Miao Xun during the Spring Festival and family reunion.

"Huh? How did you know that Mr. Miao's hometown is in Nanyang? I haven't told you!"

Zhao Xu remembered that Miao Xun didn't tell anyone else where his home was, except himself, but how did Zhao Kuangyin know.

"Hahaha, you underestimate me too much. Suddenly there is a person of unknown origin beside you. Naturally, you need to investigate clearly, otherwise I won't worry about it!"

Do you think Zhao Kuangyin is a fool, can a fool be the emperor? Suddenly there is another person beside his son, who opens his mouth, shuts his mouth, and yells like a lord.

Let no one doubt, so Zhao Kuangyin investigated behind the scenes quietly, and finally got the news after a lot of effort.

Zhao Kuangyin was also taken aback by the results of the investigation. For some reason, these people even dug out the [-]th generation of Miao Xun's ancestors.

What surprised Zhao Kuangyin even more was that Miao Xun was actually a descendant of Zhuge Wuhou, whose real name was Zhuge Xun.

Their family has lived in seclusion in Nanyang since Zhuge Wuhou died of illness, and they changed their names and surnames, so they have today's Miao Xun.

These people also learned that there is a suicide note in the ancestral hall of Zhuge's family, which is to ask the descendants of future generations to actively assist the Ming Lord and rule the world.

Now Zhao Kuangyin felt relieved, wondering if this Miao Xun had such a history, so Zhao Kuangyin respectfully called him Mr.

Do you think that everyone can get the praise of the emperor? The emperor is not a fool, let alone an idiot.

Zhao Kuangyin was even more unaware that Miao Xun had leaked these on purpose, otherwise how would they have known about them.

Miao Xun just wants Zhao Kuangyin to know that he has no ambitions at all, and just obeys his ancestor's will to assist Mingzhu.

I let you know my information, just to let you know that I am not a spy or anything, and I have a mission.

Now you don't have to be on guard against me, I'm doing it for the good of your Zhao family.

"So that's the case, then what do you mean by telling me these things today." Zhao Xu's head was full of question marks.

"You must know his identity, so use him boldly. Although he doesn't accept an official position, he is willing to advise you. This is helping you indirectly. There is no doubt about it."

"Also, isn't the Spring Festival just around the corner? I want Rang's family to come to the capital for a reunion. Such a person can't win him over with high officials and rich salary, so he has to use affection."

Zhao Kuangyin is really a veteran in the officialdom, and he is the best at winning people's hearts.

Zhao Xu admired Zhao Kuangyin a lot on this point. Emotional investment is definitely a sharp weapon to buy people's hearts. Zhao Kuangyin is really familiar with it.

It seems that leaders can use this. There was one of the most famous principals in the previous life. He was neither the principal of elementary school nor high school, but the principal of a famous military academy.

He carries a small notebook with him, which is not confidential, and it records the birthdays of his students and the students' parents.

Whenever it's someone's birthday, I will come to congratulate in person. Although it seems nothing, it is enough to move people.

"I didn't expect my father to move so fast. They must be arriving soon."

"Well, they arrived in the morning, and I arranged for them to stay in our previous mansion."

Zhao's mansion was destroyed by fire when the yellow robe was added, and a house was built on it later.

Normally Zhao Xu stayed there for a while when he was out of the palace and didn't come back. It was also very good to arrange Miao Xun's family here.

"Father, I don't think it's better than this. Give him that house. Anyway, it's empty. Let's do it to the end."

These plots are always seen in TV dramas, and now I actually experience it myself, it feels so cool.

"You can figure it out. By the way, you can go and have a look later. If you lack anything, just add it. I will discuss state affairs with Zhao Pu and the others."

After speaking, Zhao Kuangyin walked out.

Zhao Xu went back first and said hello to a little girl, then took a few eunuchs straight to the old mansion in the city.

"Brother, are you really my father's friend? Why didn't you see my father?" A little girl like a doll asked Zhao Xu with her big eyes open.

"Yes, I'm your father's friend. By the way, what's your name, little sister?" Zhao Xu liked such children very much.

"My name is Miao Miao, hehe sounds nice." The little girl smiled innocently.

In this way, Zhao Xu became acquainted with Miao Xun's wife and daughter. Miao Xun only had one original wife and one daughter.

Zhao Xu bought all the daily necessities they needed before leaving. Before leaving, he promised to buy candied haws for the little girl.

After a few more days like this, Miao Xun and Liu Qinhu, who had been away for a long time, finally came back, and their affairs were almost done.

"Meet the prince." Liu Qinhu and the two saluted Zhao Xu in unison.

"Sir, you are finally back. You see, today is 28 and the holiday is almost here. By the way, old Liu, go down and rest first. My husband and I still have something to do."

Liu Qinhu naturally obeyed Zhao Xu's order and retreated. Zhao Xu pulled Miao Xun into the carriage:

"Sir, you have worked hard all the way. By the way, sir, I have prepared a gift for you. I promise you will like it." Zhao Xu said seriously.

"Hehe, what is the need for my lord to give me any gifts? You also know that I am alone, so why do you want gifts?"

Miao Xun was taken aback for a moment, then said quickly.

"Sir, you liked this gift after looking at it for a while."
