Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 877 Wang Xiu's Long-term Plan for the Royal Family
"Of course you have to make a myth of yourself. I am the True Monarch of Absolute Beginning, the Supreme Master. This will never be changed. There must be a place for me among the immortals."

Wang Xiu smiled, and immediately said seriously: "However, you also understand my final plan. The confrontation between the imperial power and the political power is bound to give some people an opportunity to take advantage of it. You and I cannot live a long life, and we must take precautions." .Only by thoroughly mythizing the royal family and elevating the royal family to a level that makes people dare not move, will there be a chance to continue."

"So what do you say?" Zhu Lian's heart skipped a beat, as if he had realized something.

"It's very simple, just two key points, so that those with ulterior motives think that in the eyes of the subjects of the world, the royal family is the real chosen monarch, not the current one that can be replaced. The sages of the past have dug a hole, what is the emperor? A virtuous person After all, if the Son of Heaven loses his virtue, everyone can rise up and rebel, which is a headache."

"Also, it makes people think that even if they take away the imperial power, the gain is not worth the loss. Not only will they offend the subjects of the world, but the imperial power does not have the authority imagined, just like a tasteless existence."

His meaning is very simple. It is very unique to inherit the mainstream culture and treat the royal family. He just said that the emperor is the son of heaven. When the emperor treats the subjects of the world well, it is legal. If it is against the law, it loses its legitimacy. It is completely possible to overthrow him. This is not a fantasy, but a real thought.

During the war, it even developed that the emperor would rather have a kind, and the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. Don't look at the emperor now, if something happens, he will fall into the clouds.

It is because the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world with the emperor, and they put the scholars in the same position as the emperor.The most important thing is the world. Scholars pursue great harmony in the world, not the prosperity of their family and country. This is the problem. Scholars are loyal to the world, not the king of their family and country.

In the history of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not that the ministers forced the emperor to abdicate, and it changed overnight without any disturbances. The tacit understanding between the internal and external ministers is astonishing. Everything is so logical and has not caused any waves. .

Of course, without the intoxicating power, there will be a lot less trouble. His purpose is also very clear. While the mythical royal family weakens the imperial power, some people think that even if they replace the royal family by tricks, the deep-rooted dual monarchy , It also makes it impossible for them to get too much benefit.

That is to say, risking the world's evil, even giving up more benefits, but getting very little benefits, the contribution and benefits are completely out of proportion, heavy fists are in the hands of both the internal and external courts, and the external courts are in control, which fool would go back and do it.

Even if the royal family develops to the end of the road, it must slowly move towards a republic instead of a system of centralized monarchy.

"Officials can do whatever they want, as long as the officials are safe." Zhu Lian sighed. The dual monarchy that Wang Xiu talked about had already started, and he had received the support of the scholars, whether he wanted to stop it or not. possible.

She has also carefully weighed that the dual monarchy limits the imperial power and greatly weakens the power of the emperor.However, the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven, and still has the final ruling power, but is constrained by the fact that the two governments have not yet established a political council, which may not be an improvement on the existing system.

"My lady is relieved." Wang Xiu glanced at Zhu Lian and said with a smile. He has enough confidence to implement the dual monarchy. how?The general trend of history cannot be changed.

Now, what he has to do is to take care of the seedlings and constantly cut off the threats. With the consent and acquiescence of the scholars, his power is in full swing, and the biggest threat is the external environment.If the conquest of the South China Sea is for the sake of development and for the future of future generations, then the north is the root of his ideals, the grasslands and white mountains and black waters must be completely conquered, and the source of strangling China must be completely eliminated.

"Twelve mothers' daughters' thoughts, the officials must not take it seriously." Zhu Lian was still worried, she knew her daughter too well.

"Hehe, it's a pity that I can't participate in the wedding of Twelve Niangs." Wang Xiu didn't take it seriously, but felt a little guilty.

The party members forced to attack Qiang City, which greatly stimulated the scholars of the Song Dynasty. As Wang Xiu was about to go north, the government and the public unanimously supported him.

The Privy Council both accepted the decree, Zhong Lirui, the secretary of the Privy Council, and Zhang Jiuzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were undoubtedly two dazzling figures.

Of course, there is also Feng Yuan, who is in charge of planning the mobilization of the Northwest War. He is currently serving as the commander of the army, and he knows the mobilization of supplies. Although he is only a sixth rank, his power is huge.

It's not that Wang Xiu doesn't need to be awarded Yuan, but that he needs to be trained in all aspects according to his needs. A qualified military talent is not capable of controlling the whole army to fight. Experienced generals can fight, and they can protect the whole army.

Today, the establishment of the Song army is becoming more and more rational, and many factors of later generations are constantly increasing. New weapons are also being developed and put into use. The pressure on war logistics is increasing.

According to Wang Xiu's calculations, the supply troops of the previous dynasties accounted for about [-]% of the entire army. The Song army was fully armed, equipped with four-wheeled chariots and a large number of firearms, and formed a technology-centric army, which had greater requirements for logistics. The heavy soldiers must account for more than [-]%, or even [-]%.

It is not yet time, but it will definitely not be the case ten years from now, so it is required to plan ahead. The trinity of officials and apparatus officials, whether it can become a metropolitan school, the experience of the three aspects is very important.

Feng Yuan led a team to coordinate the dispatch of the entire army's supplies, the transfer of the supplies, the dispatch of the recruits, and the conscripts of the township soldiers from all over the country. It was a mess.

Some people are still wondering if a strong general is overqualified for the mobilization of the luggage. He is not only a distinguished general, but also a talented man among the princes of the royal family. At the very least, he must occupy a deputy commander and guard General Yin, how can he be an old government official.

However, some people already understood that the direction of Feng Yuan's dispatch of military positions was exactly the three-in-one promotion model advocated by the imperial court, and they couldn't help but be moved.

Xia Xingqing Palace
Zhang Qiyuan sat leisurely and contentedly, he was talking with Li Ganshun, the young emperor of Daxia.

Li Qianshun really didn't know the bottom line. He really didn't expect that his cautious and cautious probing would actually cause such a big reaction from Song Xingchao.

Before his army was assembled, the entire Shaanxi Sixth Road was mobilized. It didn't take long for the Song Dynasty to mobilize, looking like they were sharpening their knives.
