Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 285
Li Buqi sighed from the bottom of his heart: It seems that few people who were born in the royal family can let go of the throne in front of them and feel nothing, and this leftover has indeed become ambitious.

However, Li Buqi sighed because he guessed human nature again. In fact, of course he wanted to push his student to the throne.He created this person according to his own purpose, and of course he hopes that he can help him transform Da Song.

Li Buqi said slowly: "Your Majesty asked me whether it is better to establish a prince or a virtuous person. From the tone of your majesty, you can see that your majesty is still very conflicted. I told your majesty that as your teacher, I am a stakeholder. Suspicion should be avoided in this matter, if His Majesty cannot make a decision, as long as three issues are clarified."

"First, what kind of successor does His Majesty want, and what kind of tasks do you want to entrust to him? Second, whether the candidate has the ability to meet His Majesty's requirements. Although the third is at the end, it is also a very important point, that is, The official family once suffered from childlessness, whether this heir can prosper and ensure that the throne will be passed on smoothly. Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, if you really can't decide, there is still time to slowly investigate."

Speaking of this, Li Buqi took a look at Zhao Sheng, and seeing Zhao Sheng's mouth curled up, he knew that he understood the key point.Sure enough, no one in the old Zhao family was stupid, but Zhao Guangyi and his descendants didn't use their cleverness in the right place.

The courses in the military training school include natural history and horse breeding techniques, and some of them talk about prenatal and postnatal care. If Li Buqi talked about offspring, if Zhao Sheng didn't understand what he meant, he must have not listened carefully to the class.Although Li Buqi has not been in the capital these few years, he knows that the fourth prince, Zhao Shu, looks like Mung Bean Sprouts now, and he still suffers from illnesses every three days. Concubine Zhang Gui also thinks that his son is weak, and he will stop him even if he moves a little bit. In such a vicious cycle, Zhao Shu's body has been unable to become strong, and it is hard to say whether he will be able to give birth to a son.Zhao Zhen has the pain of being childless, so he will definitely consider this.

Making Zhao Sheng emperor is a big project, and it cannot be settled with just a few words.Therefore, Li Buqi decided to find a time to have a careful talk with Zhao Sheng, so he first hinted that his establishment of the reserve would take a long time to stabilize his heart.

Li Buqi is also very busy at home.Parents, wives and children had to be intimate, honorable ministers who were acquainted with Beijing and China had to walk around, and they had to show their faces in Qingyuan Academy, Armed Forces Academy and Royal Testing Ground to show their existence. This busy two months passed.The unshakable thing in these two months was that he went to the palace every day to see Zhao Zhen, and then comforted the emperor that as long as he relaxed his mind, his body would get better.

Li Buqi is very confident in saying this, because Zhao Zhen's madness is very famous, so Li Buqi remembers that it took several years for Zhao Zhen to die after his first stroke. Thinking about it, in this time and space, Zhao Zhen would not let go so easily go.Sure enough, Zhao Zhen lived up to Li Buqi's hope. It may be that Li Buqi was by his side, which gave him a backbone and relaxed his mood a lot, and his body recovered day by day.

At this time, Zhao Zhen was also in the mood to consider Li Buqi's new position. He wanted Li Buqi to be the servant of the household department, so that Li Buqi's financial skills could be used to ease the financial constraints of the Song Dynasty.The servant of the household department generally does not need to go out of Beijing. Li Buqi guessed that the emperor wanted to keep Li Buqi by his side as a health care doctor.

However, Li Buqi estimated that Zhao Zhen might not be able to fulfill his wish, because after Li Buqi returned to Beijing, the situation in Shaanxi seemed to suddenly become severe, and the Privy Council reported that the Xixia people had committed crimes.This is very strange, because Xixia people's horses are fed entirely on pasture, so in spring it is when the horses are the thinnest. At this time, the Song army does not provoke Xixia. Generally, Xixia people will not take the initiative to attack, and Xixia people They are competing with Linfu Road for the land in the west of Quye River, and they lured out and defeated Linfu's troops a few days ago. Now Xixia does not concentrate its forces on Linfu Road, but causes troubles everywhere, which is completely inconsistent with the Xixia people's usual military style.

Li Buqi is not without people in Shaanxi. The Zhe family and the Zhong family often have correspondence with him. He clearly knows that the Xixia people have never stopped harassing the border. It is just that the local officials on the edge of Shaanxi regard more things as less. The principle of this matter is only reported when the Xixia people invaded aggressively. Now under the strict order of the Privy Council, even harassers with a scale of [-] people have reported to the central center.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.The Privy Council is now mainly controlled by Han Qi, and it is his handwriting to strictly order that all matters in Shaanxi must be reported.Li Buqi could guess that even with his butt, someone was looking for a reason to drive him out of the capital.Who made Li Buqi a famous general?Some people will definitely say that Li Buqi can turn the tide at the critical moment in Guangnan, so he is also the best candidate to solve the crisis in Shaanxi. The emperor must also put state affairs first, and he cannot treat an important minister as a health care doctor.

Even Zhao Min understood this matter.After a three-person exercise, Zhao Min managed to catch his breath evenly. He put his arm around Li Buqi's arm and said worriedly, "Officer, are you going to Shaanxi again?"

Li Buqi's hand wandered on Zhao Min's smooth back and sneered, "Yes, those people are really calculating. I let it out that I was going to resign from office and take a two-year rest to concentrate on spending time with my wife and children. Some people thought it was because of ulterior motives." Well. Even if I resign all the official positions, the officials will always ask me to enter the palace. Those people are worried that I will disturb the wind and the rain. When the matter of establishing a reserve is brought up, I often bring the remaining children into the palace to pay my respects. It makes them very worried. Only when a major event occurs in Shaanxi, the emperor will have to let me go to appease Shaanxi."

Zhao Min said disappointedly: "So the officials have been away for a few years."

Now Xing'er on the other side also looked over with resentment, but Li Buqi smiled and said: "Shaanxi is going, one wish of your officials is to destroy Xixia with your own hands. But this time our whole family will go together. Hmph, I went to Guangnan for five years, and I don’t even remember my sons when I come back, which has delayed the birth of several sons.”

Zhao Min asked in surprise: "How is it possible? Officials who go to Shaanxi must be guards who lead soldiers. Court practice, the family members of guards must be in the capital or their hometown, but I have never seen anyone who takes a family to take office. The most officials are Take Yinghui or Yingniang."

But Li Buqi said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened this time. How can there be any rules? If there are rules, I have relatives with the Zhe family, and I need to avoid being an official. The reason for me not to go Very sufficient. Even if they use justice to suppress me, I was born and died in the miasma in Guangnan for five years, and I was kicked to Shaanxi as soon as I came back. The conscience of heaven and earth, they are justified. And at this time they are in a hurry to get me Drive away, your officials are thick-skinned enough, as long as you play tricks, you are not afraid that they will not give in. At that time, your officials will take you to Shaanxi to play."

Zhao Min raised her hand and poked Xing'er, Xing'er put on her clothes knowingly and went to the outer room to watch.Only then did Zhao Min ask Li Buqi in a low voice: "What do the officials think about this establishment of the reserve? Does the leftover have a chance of winning?"

Li Buqi thought about it, and it would be better to give it to Zhao Min. He also lowered his voice and said: "The government should have a few years left. At this time, forcing the government to establish a reserve will inevitably make the government feel rebellious, so This matter cannot be rushed. But even if it drags on for a few years, I'm afraid that Zuo'er has no chance of winning for the time being. There were too many officials involved in the matter of leaving the palace. These people would not dare to let Zuo'er succeed anyway. The new generation of officials has not yet grown up. The officials are very wary of the queen, and the queen can't speak casually. There is not enough power to support the rest. Today's officials are not firm. Once all the officials agree, the officials dare not stand up. The remaining son is the crown prince. But it is estimated that as long as the remaining son can survive for a few years, it may not be impossible for him to succeed to the throne."

Zhao Min asked strangely: "The new emperor has succeeded, so how can the remaining son still have the possibility to succeed?"

Li Buqi said: "The fourth prince is a sick man with yin deficiency and fire, and I think he has a beard at a young age, and his Adam's apple has grown out. It is probably because Concubine Zhang loves her son and gave him a lot of ginseng." And royal jelly. I don’t say how long such a person can live, I’m afraid he may not even be able to give birth to normal children. Once he is gone, there will be only two sons in the current official family.”

"Does the official want the leftover to wait? Then the official wants to have a good talk with the leftover. The slave family listens to the leftover, and is very afraid that he will be locked in the high wall of the 'Muqin House'."

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin implemented a system of favor and support for the descendants of the Zhao family. All men who were not emperors would build a house to raise them. Although they had no worries about food and clothing, and were high-ranking officials, they had no freedom of movement and could only live behind high walls all their lives. middle.In the past few years, many scientific discoveries have emerged from the two big houses where the descendants of the Zhao family were kindly raised, which shows how idle and boring these descendants of the Zhao family are.This kind of life must be scary for Zhao Sheng who is used to freedom. Li Buqi can imagine that Zhao Sheng will definitely spare no effort to fight for the throne even for his own sake.

Li Buqi smiled and said: "Just waiting is not the answer. It would be the best if you can force the fourth prince and the people who support him to make mistakes. Do you know why Taizong rushed to the north? I am going to repeat the story of the past. This time Going to Shaanxi is a good opportunity. In a few days, I will have a detailed discussion with Leftover, and ask him to follow me to Shaanxi instead of going to the muddy waters of the capital."
