The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 264 Give Your Children to Me

This incident in the capital of the Song Dynasty is not considered a major incident, but it is enough to cause a whirlwind in Bianjing.

Because today the emperor made a decree, stipulating that all the officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital, as long as their children are not famous, all of them should be sent to the prince.

What is this for? It turned out that the imperial court was planning to establish a princely army composed of meritorious children, so the children of these officials were allowed to enter it.

It is definitely a good thing for some people to come to the water. The prince's pro-army is also directly under the prince's jurisdiction, and it is the prince's close army.

These people will definitely have a good relationship with the prince in the future, and these people will be reused when the prince ascends the throne.

Do you have to ask, whoever ascends the throne doesn't use the person who is closest to him, so why do people rush to get closer to the prince's mansion, so that in the future when the prince becomes a great treasure, he can follow the promotion and make a fortune.

Now the emperor has given you this opportunity, so many people are very happy, thinking that their children can be honored, and they simply registered their children.

Some people regret it a bit, because their children already have fame and fame, so they don't want it at all.

This made some officials quite annoyed, but they turned around and thought that their children could still take the imperial examination in the future, and they could also enter the court and become officials.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Those who are not very high-ranking officials think this is a good thing, but they don't think so for senior officials of this rank and second rank.

They already have very high official positions, and they feel that it is not easy to send their children to official careers by their own means.

In addition, it is very easy to promote them to the position of high-ranking officials with their own connections, and there is no way to use this way.

At the same time, they also vaguely felt that the court wanted to take their children as hostages, but they couldn't object.

You make an excuse that your children are young, as long as they are over ten years old, they must be sent in and cultivated slowly, and no one can disobey them.

Unless your child already has fame, you must strictly abide by this will, and other people dare not disobey.

"Oh, the emperor's trick is so good. He firmly holds the children of the ministers in his hands. Even if they feel dissatisfied, they still have to think about their own children."

Zhao Guangyi was talking about this with Ma Zhaoyuan in his mansion.

"My lord, this matter may be a good thing for you. You must know that everything you do is to ensure the stability of the Song court. Only in this way can you obtain greater benefits."

What Ma Zhaoyuan said is quite reasonable. If the Great Song Dynasty ceased to exist or the dynasty changed, what would Zhao Guangyi get for you?
It is also because the Great Song Wengding is strong and prosperous, you can get the greatest benefits, this is beyond doubt.

"This king understands. This king just feels that the emperor and the prince's move are more ruthless. They can think of such a way to hold all the ministers firmly in their hands. This king is quite admirable."

"To be honest, my lord, I still admire the current emperor's continuous rise in just a few years, and finally established the Great Song Dynasty. He is really a generation of wizards."

Ma Zhaoyuan is also full of praise for Zhao Kuangyin, calling him a wizard is already a very high evaluation.

Not only him, but most of the other people were also surprised at first that this man from a gangster was able to become the emperor, then admired, and finally envied.

"This king guesses that this idea came from his evil nephew again. This king just has this intuition."

"My lord, are you talking about the prince?" Ma Zhaoyuan asked tentatively.

"It's him. I can say with certainty that it's him. Your Majesty is just an excuse."

Zhao Guangyi's thoughts went back to what Zhao Xu said when he entertained them last night.

"Uncle Wang and all the adults, if you have something to say, don't worry about it, just sit and listen to me."

Zhao Xu put on airs and called him a widow, but the others didn't say anything. After all, what's wrong with being a prince and calling him lonely?
"The prince is polite, please tell the prince." They were all polite.

"Actually, it's nothing. What I want to talk about is also related to all of you present, and more precisely, it is related to your young masters."

There weren't many people present, but they were all important figures in charge of the government, and their usual energy-raising skills were pretty good.

Although it can't be said that Taishan is over the top without changing his face, at least it can be done without emotion.

But now I heard that what the crown prince is going to say is related to their children, so I am very energetic.

Of course, except for Zhao Guangyi, his child has not yet been born, and he is not yet a father.

All the ministers were involved, and he listened attentively to see what he could get from it.

Zhao Xu cleared his throat and began to speak:
"My lords, what are we working so hard for? Isn't it that one day we can honor our ancestors and bestow upon our wives and sons."

"Now everyone has basically accomplished the glory of their ancestors, because you are sitting here, which means that you are the high-level officials of the Great Song Dynasty."

They are not only high-level, they are simply high-level among high-level people. This sentence makes these old guys feel that they are superior to others.

"Secret your wife, you basically did it." These people are all first-rank or second-rank in the current dynasty, and their regular wives have definitely obtained imperial orders from the court.

"Yinzi, maybe you haven't done it yet. Firstly, the system of our Great Song Dynasty is not perfect enough. Secondly, we haven't agreed with the whole country, and we don't have so many official positions for your children."

"However, the emperor was very moved to see all of you dedicating so much to the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, the emperor decided to build a prince's army for Gu, and all of them were selected from your children."

"Dare to ask the prince, what is the duty of this pro-military?" Tao Gu very cooperatively asked a question that everyone wanted to know.

"Lord Tao, the question you asked is exactly what I will talk about below. Don't worry, the Prince's army is definitely not letting them go to war. They are just responsible for the safety of Gu. You are with the prince in normal times, so you don't have to worry about it." They will go to war."

These sons are delicate and expensive, and it is impossible for me to send them to the battlefield. If I go to ten, nine will die, and one will go crazy.

Hearing that the prince said that he didn't need to go to the battlefield and just be with the prince, that's good, a big stone in his heart fell.

When Zhao Xu saw them, he knew that they were weighing gains and losses in their hearts. It seemed that the prince was going to add fire to you.

This is so that you can hand over your children to me, hehe, it sounds as evil as human traffickers abducting children.

But what Zhao Xu did was to hand over your children to him, and he still had follow-up plans.

　Today, a 23-year-old kid who just started working in the village committed suicide by jumping off a building. There are always things going wrong in life, so why can’t I just think about it?
