The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 351 Zhao Kuangyin is a hero
Zhang Shaoqiang thought about it in his heart, no place is safe in the wilderness and chaos.

In comparison, the Song Dynasty was still good. Could it be that there was such a saying, that is, it is better to be a dog of peace than to be a troubled person, and now Zhao Shaoqiang thinks so.

He was held hostage by Wang An to do so many things for so many years, and he was also unwilling.

Now Zhao Xu asked him to do this. Although he was doing things for others, this person's identity was unusual.

Even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about his son. In the end, he agreed to Zhao Xu without any hesitation.

In fact, the most important thing is what Zhao Xu said before leaving:

"Don't you want revenge? Then I will give you a chance. I want you to appear in front of your enemy's family as the world's richest businessman. Didn't he use money to ruin your family? You can do it?"

Zhang Shaoqiang didn't know how Zhao Xu knew about it, and he didn't want to know about it anymore. He sold all his wealth to Zhao Xu.

He also asked Zhao Xu what he was doing so much. Anyway, he gave Zhang Shaoqiang hope of revenge, a seed that would germinate one day once it was planted.

This man who was later hailed as the God of Wealth of the Great Song Empire is now completely surrendered to his master.

When Zhao Xu finished dealing with these matters and returned to the palace, Zhao Kuangyin was still discussing things, and he was not alone, there were also Zhao Pu and Miao Xun.

Needless to say, Zhao Pu was already the secretary in charge of the army when Zhao Kuangyin was Jiedushi, and he was also Zhao Kuangyin's staff.

Chen Qiao also contributed a lot during the mutiny, so Zhao Kuangyin also trusted him. As for Miao Xun?
Although he was unwilling to accept his official position, he had already made it clear that he worked for Zhao Xu and was on his son's side.

More importantly, he is really capable, and he is also Zhao Pu's senior brother. Zhao Pu admires him very much, so Zhao Kuangyin also has a lot of trust in him.

"Father, sir, Mr. Zeping, you are all here, what are you doing?"

As soon as Zhao Xu came in, he saw the three of them, and knew that they must be discussing important matters. Miao Xun and Zhao Pu immediately stood up and returned the greeting.

Zhao Xu also sat down in a seat directly, which meant that he also participated in it.

"You came just in time. The two gentlemen and I are discussing how to deal with these powerful generals. It just so happens that you are here too. Let's discuss together."

Zhao Kuangyin has long been used to addressing Miao Xun as Mr. As for Zhao Pu, he used to call him Mr. Miao.

Now that he is the emperor, he can't call him that, but it gives Zhao Pu a kind feeling at this time.

"I have decided to take back the military power in the near future, and to take back the military power of the leading generals in the court. I haven't decided what method to use for this. Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhao Kuangyin has decided to take back the military power in the court, he just said that he has no plans to take back the place in the court.

"Before this question, I would like to ask the emperor what to do with the power of the feudal town?" Zhao Pu keenly noticed that the emperor did not mention the matter of the feudal town.

"Mr. Zeping is really careful. He is worthy of being a good staff member of mine. I will take back all the power of the central government first, and after it stabilizes, I will slowly take back all the power of the local governments."

"As the saying goes, haste makes waste. I want to take it step by step. Anyway, the time won't be too long. Everyone here is the one I trust the most. That's why I can tell you so much."

There are only four people here including the emperor, and of course they are all my own. Otherwise, can I tell them such a secret thing?

"What the emperor said is that since the emperor asked, the minister has some ideas, so it's time to throw a brick to attract jade."

"I think it's not about how these people are, but that they hold the military power in their hands. They are nothing. Like Murong Yanzhao and Shi Shouxin, they are just one person."

"But behind them, there are millions of troops waiting in formation. As long as these people can hand over the military power, the army will naturally be firmly under control."

Zhao Xu listened to Zhao Pu talking here, talking about useless nonsense, and talking about things that everyone knew.

"These people have been generals for a long time, and the soldiers under them are more than willing to work for them, so I think that as long as they subdue them, all problems will be solved."

"And the easiest way is to invite them into the palace to deal with them on the spot, and then take the opportunity to take back the military power. This is the most ideal way."

Zhao Pu still uttered his own method, that is, one word: kill!

As long as they are solved, all problems will be solved, and the imperial court will take back the military power.

This is also an opportunity. Basically, such things have happened in all dynasties, so what Zhao Pu said is also very correct.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said nothing, as if he was considering the possibility of Zhao Pu's approach.

Seeing this, Miao Xun also expressed his opinion:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao is quite right. As long as these people are gone, their soldiers will not naturally obey the court."

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that after the Han Dynasty killed Han Xin, his subordinates rebelled? So, Your Majesty, you must make up your mind as soon as possible, and you will succeed forever."

Zhao Xu was also very surprised that Miao Xun actually agreed with this. It seemed that people in this era really didn't take human life seriously.

"No, I can't do this. They are all my brothers. When I sworn brothers with them, I once said that there are blessings and hardships."

"Now that I have taken back their military power, I am sorry for them. First, you want me to kill them. I really can't do it."

"I don't want people in future generations to say that I am an ungrateful villain, and I don't want history books to say that I am such a person, so don't tell me such a proposal again."

You also said that you asked everyone to come up with an idea, and now you veto it as soon as they finished talking, and you still ask everyone to say something.

It seems that you have already made a decision in your heart and what to say, you just want to use peaceful means to resolve this matter.

It seems that the matter of releasing military power with a glass of wine is really related to Zhao Kuangyin's character, and another emperor would definitely not do this.

Brothers Miao Xun and Zhao Pu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. This emperor is really acting out of loyalty.

Zhao Kuangyin's words can already be regarded as an upright hero, which can be affirmed from his actions.

If he is not an emperor, he can really be a hero admired by all people!
