The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 276 I paid the money
This remark stunned those who originally wanted to disagree with this measure. What a crime it is.

You have to know that at the beginning, you can listen to the story of the child lying told by Zhao Xu as a story.

Or you can pretend that you don’t know what it means, and that’s okay, no one can say anything about you?
Now that the prince has spoken about the allusion of "the feudal lords of Fenghuo opera", can you still pretend that you don't understand anything?
What does "Feng Huo play princes" mean? It is the turning point of the Western Zhou Dynasty from strong to weak. It is precisely because King Zhou You broke his promise to the princes in the world that he was in the hands of Xi Rong.

The Western Zhou Dynasty also perished at this point, and people in later generations said that King You of Zhou buried the country for the beauty Baosi.

But you shouldn't simply see this. There are many monarchs for the sake of beauty, but not all of them are subjugated.

That's because he, King Zhou You, was so fatuous that he broke the trust of the princes, because everyone no longer believed in his status as the co-lord of the world.

In the final analysis, he lost his reputation, which also led to the fact that no princes were willing to rescue him in the end, and he was not wronged if he died.

Now that Zhao Xu said these words, he was talking about the students who must not break their trust in the world, otherwise they might repeat the mistakes of "Feng Huo Opera Princes".

"Hehe, the crown prince must be a bit alarmist." Just when everyone didn't know what to say, King Jin made another move.

"Oh, King Jin has some doubts about the words of the lonely king, please ask King Jin for advice." Zhao Xu never taught Uncle Zhao Guangyi in the court.

Even in private, he didn't call much because he didn't see Zhao Guangyi much. Besides, it was true that Zhao Guangyi was the prince, but he had to salute the prince first, right?

"I don't dare to give advice, but this king has a little idea and just said it. Don't be offended by the prince."

"Prince Jin, please speak, and the lonely king is all ears." Since you are the king of Jin, you are the king, and I can't be weak for the king, right?

I don't call myself lonely anymore, I just call myself the lonely king, which means I am one level higher than you. The lonely king was a king before, so naturally he is one level higher than you, the prince.

This is also the truth, Zhao Guangyi probably heard it, but he has nothing to do, it is the truth!

"The crown prince said just now that 'the feudal lords of Fenghuo opera' is a bit alarmist. Besides, those 'vassals' were all vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, that is to say, they were basically independent. It is conceivable that such a thing happened."

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to use this allusion to describe the relationship between the Song court and these students? Besides, what these students can do is to make a scene at most, and nothing else is useful."

"Could it be possible that they can still overthrow me, Great Song Dynasty? That's why the king said that the prince was alarmist just now."

"Besides, now is the most tense moment for our imperial court. It is okay to treat them specially during special periods. Now that the imperial court is in difficulty, if we follow the previous decision, we may be in trouble."

"We should adjust our strategy in a timely manner according to the situation in front of us. Is there anything wrong with that?" Several ministers in Zhao Guangyi's camp couldn't stop nodding when they heard this.

Zhao Xu kept muttering in his heart. He didn't expect you, Zhao Guangyi, to analyze specific issues in detail.

He also knows that he has to adjust his strategy appropriately according to different situations. This guy really has a set, but now is not the time for you to have one.

It would be absolutely no problem if the room was placed in normal times, and it would be acceptable to put it in other things, but let’s avoid it now.

In any case, this is a decision that I persuaded Zhao Kuangyin to make alone, and it is beneficial to the future development of the country. How can you destroy it?
"Enen, King Jin is right. We need to make timely adjustments as the facts in front of us continue to change. King Gu also agrees with this."

"But this matter is different. Why, because these students are the pillars of the country in the future."

"In the future, they will be the ones who will govern the country. The hearts of the people must not be bullied, and the hearts of the students must not be bullied. If they have any dissatisfaction, they will reject the court, and the consequences will be serious."

"If we don't make these promises, then we still have room for maneuver. If they make trouble, we can naturally suppress and resolve it."

"But the problem now is that if we break our promise first, it will be the court's fault. How can we have the nerve to deal with them?"

"Prince, I know all the things you said, but now the court has no extra money, so what should I do?"

I agree with what Zhao Guangyi said, and I know that the court should not suffer any losses, but there is nothing I can do about it.

The court is short of money, which is the most important thing. No matter how much money you say, there is nothing you can do. Is that what you mean?

"What should the emperor ask the emperor to rule on this matter?" Zhao Guangyi couldn't persuade Zhao Xu, so he had to turn to Zhao Kuangyin and let him decide.

"I have listened to the arguments of the crown prince and the loves, and I think they all make sense. The court can neither lose its credibility nor let itself fall into a financial crisis. This is the key point. Can you tell me what to do?"

"Li Aiqing, you are in charge of the household department, tell me how much money the household department can provide now, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin clicked on Li Tao's name, and Li Tao had no choice but to stand up:
"My majesty, all the money in the national treasury has been arranged according to the budget, and there is no other surplus at all. Otherwise, I would not object to the imperial edict issued by the imperial court."

When Li Tao said this, everyone believed him very much. Who made him the Minister of the Household Department? It was because he controlled the money, so what he said was naturally true.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was also in a dilemma, he knew that the national treasury didn't have much money. According to the budget, it was the day when the tax should be collected, and now there was no extra money.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu stood up again and expressed his attitude:
"Royal father and all the lords, no matter how difficult it is for the Wuchao court, you must not go back on your promises, and you must not break your promise to the scholars of the world."

"Prince, but my household department really..."

Zhao Xu interrupted Li Tao with a wave of his hand:
"There will be money in the future. If you break your promise, the consequences will be very serious. Since this is the case, I will use the money to subsidize these students. What do you think, father?"

hiss!
Everyone took a deep breath. They only heard that the crown prince was rich, but they didn't expect that he would let these scholars pay for food and lodging.

This is not a small expense, it seems that it is really rich and powerful.

Those who look around, stop talking, I just can’t cancel this point, if you say there is no money, then I will pay the money.

Do you have anything to say now, isn't it just a little money, I can still afford it, compared to these future talents, what is money?
