The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 258 The Emperor's Mind

"My subject, Zhao Pu, thinks that the crown prince is a more suitable candidate, and I ask the emperor to make a decision." At this time, Zhao Pu also expressed his opinion.

"Veteran Wei Renpu also thinks that the crown prince is suitable. The crown prince has shown a great ability to relieve himself when he was in the Privy Council. The old man thinks that the crown prince is the perfect candidate."

Wei Renpu knew the Privy Council as a prime minister. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin appointed the prince Zhao Xu to know the Privy Council. However, Zhao Xu did not perform his duties for a few days.

But Wei Renpu said that the prince did a pretty good job during his tenure, so what can other people say?
The three prime ministers in the court have said this, no, this is not over yet, this Wang Pu has also stood up;
"Veteran Wang Pu also agrees with Zhao and Wei, the crown prince is the best candidate."

Sometimes the prime minister is a weathervane. The three prime ministers in the current dynasty have said so, and do other people dare to object?

"Well, since all the lords have said so, I can't help but listen to all the lords, Prince?"

"My son is here!"

Zhao Xu bowed and said.

"Since all the love ministers admire you so much, don't refuse any more, you will take over for the time being after all checks in front of the hall!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"Okay, let's retreat if you have nothing to do!" Zhao Kuangyin waved his sleeves and walked to the back. Zhao Xu didn't stay with him and he still had a lot of things to do.

If it is Zhao Guangyi who is depressed now, it is better to lose nothing and get nothing.

Originally, I thought that I had a certain status in the emperor's mind. If someone else raised it, the emperor should agree.

I didn't expect that Shi Shouxin would have trouble with me, I was really pissed off, just wait, if there is a chance, I will definitely make you look good.

"Congratulations, prince!"

"Congratulations, prince!"

Everyone congratulated the prince. This is a good thing, and congratulations to him are also appropriate.

"This subordinate sees the Shangguan, and this subordinate is being polite." It was Wang Shenqi who said this.

"Did you see that Mr. Wang started to fawn on the prince, did you see hahaha?" Shi Shouxin teased Wang Shenqi when he saw it.

"I said Shi Shouxin, what you said is wrong. The crown prince is checking everything now. Of course, he is my boss. What is flattery? This is a normal visit to the boss, do you understand?"

Wang Shenqi, who is the commander of the capital, is Zhao Xu's subordinate, and everyone has forgotten this identity.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Tonight I will invite everyone to a banquet at Taoxianglou. Everyone must be there."

Zhao Xu hadn't talked with these court officials for a long time, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get together.

Who would dare not go to the prince's treat? Everyone said they would definitely come, so please rest assured the prince.

Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi took a step ahead, but Zhao Xu quickly caught up with him:
"Uncle Wang, wait a little longer."

"Oh, it's the prince who doesn't know what to do with this king?" Zhao Guangyi's complexion was not good, the cooked duck flew away, would he be happy?
But being unhappy is not being happy. He immediately put on a smiling face and stopped in his tracks.

"Uncle Wang, I didn't intend to argue with you today, but the ministers recommended it. If I don't agree, I'm afraid there will be another argument, so my nephew agreed temporarily as a last resort. I will resign from this position in time. Do not worry."

"Why did the prince say this? The ministers recommended you, which means that your ability has been recognized by the ministers. This is a good thing for our Song Dynasty. My king would like to congratulate you."

"That's good. I thought Uncle Wang would blame me, so tonight I will entertain some adults at Taoxianglou. Uncle Wang must come on time."

"Don't worry, the king will arrive on time, as long as we can drink the prince's wine to our heart's content."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll keep you drinking enough, then I'll wait for Uncle Wang's arrival." Zhao Xu and Zhao Guangyi said something else before turning around and leaving. He didn't see Zhao Guangyi's gloomy face.

Zhao Xu went to the Dianqian department for a walk. After all, no matter what he said now, the Dianqian was in check. Could he not get in touch with other people?

But the effect is still very good, he knows most of them, no matter what you say, they have been in the Dianqian Division.

Becoming Marquis of Duyu in a weak crown year made many people jealous and jealous. The group of people he promoted back then have now gradually entered the ranks of military officers, which made him most gratified.

While he was speaking happily in front of the hall, someone came to report that the emperor had urgently invited the prince to the palace to have an audience.

Looking very anxious, Zhao Xu didn't delay, and galloped straight into the palace.

In the palace, after Zhao Kuangyin sent away Zhao Pu, who had just come to see him, he immediately asked for the prince to be found.

I was also thinking about the conversation just now, it was Zhao Pu who understood his mind and guessed his mind through opening his mouth.

"Your Majesty, are you ready to take back the military power?" Zhao Pu's first words when he saw Zhao Kuangyin were this,

"Zhao Pu, why do you ask such a question?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't answer his question, but asked him such a question instead.

"Isn't it obvious, Your Majesty? You have been checking the vacancies in front of the hall, but you have been reluctant to appoint them. At the court this morning, you were not interested in the proposal to check the appointments at all."

"It wasn't until someone recommended the prince that you became interested. Finally, the decision was made to let the prince be the inspector. Therefore, I boldly guessed that it was His Majesty who wanted to slowly take back the military power."

Zhao Pu said to Zhao Kuangyin with a humble smile.

"Okay, Zhao Puzhen really didn't misunderstand you, he really understands my thoughts, tell you the truth, I'm just preparing to take back the military power slowly."

"Both the inspectors and the commanders of the horse infantry are the real power in the army. I can't take it back all at once. I'm taking it slowly. It's too hasty to force them. I have to make such a bad move."

Zhao Kuangyin has always remembered the issue of military power, and now is an opportunity to slowly take back their power and concentrate it in his own hands.

"Your Majesty is doing the right thing. It is best to proceed in a circular manner. This way, it can be very safe and there will be no radical actions. I admire you."

"Zhao Pu, don't tell me these things. I originally wanted to take back these powers slowly, but the time is not waiting for me, and the surrounding countries will not give us so much time, so I have to solve these things as soon as possible."

"Don't ask so many things. Just manage your internal affairs well. The stability of the court and China is the greatest support for me."

The first step of my recovery of military power is considered a success, but the latter is a bit more difficult. It would be great if everyone knew the times like Murong Yanzhao.

Then if I speak, will they agree?Zhao Kuangyin still wanted to let them hand over their military power, but he still had this kind of thinking.
