I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 745

When merchants can realize that war has dividends, it means that the entire dynasty begins to have ambitions.

Zhao Xi is happy to hear about the situation of a large number of merchants in the country moving westward.

Merchants have never been pure merchants, especially Guochao.

Every merchant is a representative of the local gentry, a spokesman for the scholar-bureaucrat class, and a storehouse of money and grain for the so-called aristocratic families.

The cognition of merchants means the cognition of squires, which means the cognition of courtiers...~This is Zhao Xi's purpose.

Nothing can influence people's tendencies more than interests.

In the same way, the great benefits of expanding the territory can make the scholar-bureaucrats and even the courtiers realize the irreplaceable role of strong armaments, and further change the entire imperial court's understanding of armaments, troops, and generals.

Even if merchants have a great demand for rail transportation, they must first meet the imperial court's expenses.

This time, the delivery volume of the imperial court was also quite large.

The first is the return of the meritorious generals to Beijing, the second is the entry of party aristocrats to Beijing, and then there is the dispatch of the army... the new army in Hebei Province, the soldiers stationed in the state capitals and counties, and the garrison troops in Bianliang , all need to be more equipped with the army in this battle.

This is not only a matter of the cabinet and courtiers wanting to split up various armies, but Zhao Xi also requires strict implementation of the dispatch of garrison troops in various places.

Perhaps, in the bottom of Zhao Xi's heart, he is also wary of the army formed by the battle.

This is hard to avoid.Zhao Xi could not care about the general's possible disobedience, and could trust the loyalty of the soldiers, but he knew that the military's mountainous awareness was inevitable.

Only regular dispersion and disruption is the most effective way.

As long as any army belongs to the same formation for a long time, it will naturally have a sense of teamwork, and it will also form hilltopism.

For example, this time, the battles experienced by each army are different, the contributions made are different, the number of enemies wiped out, the defense line conquered, etc. are all different. doctrine concept.

"Officials, the Northwest has already set off. In half a month, we will almost be able to accept the surrender in Bianliang. The preparations for the surrender ceremony are estimated to be completed within one month."

"Officials, this is a battle to destroy the country. The Ministry of Rites believes that the ceremony should be held with the highest etiquette, that is, it should be announced to the world, to the world, and to pay homage to the Taimiao..."

Shouldn't this be specially requested?Zhao Xi felt that Fu Bi's behavior was very strange.This is what should be done, and Zhao Xien approved it and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites to lead.

With doubts, Zhao Xi waited for Fu Bi's next words.

"Officials, the Ministry of Rites thinks that such a grand ceremony should involve the crown prince... The old ministers and the cabinet also think so!"

After Fu Bi finished speaking, he stopped talking and didn't even lift his head.

The determination of the successor of the Datong should not have involved too much participation by the ministers.What's more, the official family is an upright man, but the prince is already an adult, and too many ministers participated, so it is inevitable that the official family will be suspicious.

The reason why Fu Bi dared to make such a suggestion, including the cabinet ministers, was that their positions should not have much overlap with the prince.

In fact, it is also because of this grand ceremony of proclaiming to the world that the Taimiao should be attended by the prince.

"Prince..."

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is now an official from the Chengdu government. Even if he is a minister, if he is promoted by the government, he can enter Beijing as an official."

"Officials, in terms of experience, the prince has been in power for many years, and the officials' evaluations are all top-notch. The veteran thinks that it is time for the prince to get involved with the government."

Seeing that the officials were not unhappy, Fu Bi simply explained what was in his heart.

Fu Bi very much agrees with the official's practice of letting the prince go out of the palace to experience, at least there will be no emperor who is ignorant of the suffering of the people, and the king will not eat minced meat.

Similarly, for future kings, they should not stay in the field for a long time, so as to avoid losing the overall thinking of the king in terms of structure.

"Already a pusher?"

This Zhao Xi really doesn't know.The prince's family letters are mostly about filial piety and fulfilling his son's wishes, but he rarely mentions the change of duties to Zhao Xi.Even if there is, it is an analysis of the local implementation of certain national and DPRK policies.

For the prince, Zhao Xi was quite pleased.However, he only learned about it from family letters, and did not pay attention to the prince from the perspective of courtiers.

Of course, for the protection of the prince's safety, whether it is the Imperial City Secretary or the guards, it is no worse than Zhao Xi's own protection power when traveling.

Every prince goes out of the palace to practice. In terms of protection, the Imperial City Secretary is very strict.

"Then call the prince back to court! Speaking of which, as a father, I really didn't pay much attention to the prince..."

Fu Bi didn't see any unhappiness in the official's expression, on the contrary, there was a feeling of licking the calf...I and the cabinet members still think too much.

This mode of grand ceremony is ready-made, which is also the main reason why the Ministry of Rites asked the Prime Minister to report it to the officials and invite the prince to attend.

When the soldiers in front return to the court, the commanders of the various armies need to be led by the prince or prince into the Taimiao, burn incense and bathe, fast for ten days, and then pay homage to the Taimiao.

Only one son of the official family survived the first emperor, and there was no prince.Although there are many official heirs, and adult princes also have the title of king, the implication of offering sacrifices to the Taimiao is too important, and not just any king can take on this responsibility. successor to the tradition.

The Ministry of Rituals was in a dilemma, so there was a cabinet to invite the prime minister to invite the officials, and the prince was allowed to enter Beijing.

This kind of thing is not suitable for the cabinet to ask for a collective report, so as to avoid the officials thinking that it is forcing the palace. What's more, in the face of powerful officials, none of the ministers want to meddle in the affairs of the king's succession.Therefore, this matter was requested by Fu Bi alone.

When the prince was the magistrate of Yizhou, he had already participated in politics.Every time there is a big court meeting, the prince will avoid his colleagues and enter the palace to pay his respects.Once a year, in addition to expressing family affection, Zhao Xi will also have appropriate considerations, but he really didn't care about the prince's promotion.

To be honest, Zhao Xi couldn't care less about the promotion of officials who were not discussing politics. Most of them were proposed by the cabinet, and he ordered Wang Zhongzheng to affix the emperor's seal.It's normal not to know the prince's title.

Zhao Xi has his own assessment of what the king should be in charge of, which level he is in charge of, and to what extent he is in charge, and ministers of different levels should also have their own powers.

Judging from the itinerary, the time when the prince received the edict to return to the court was later than that of the northwestern tribes.However, going downstream from the Chengdu Fu Waterway and turning to the track at Jinghu Road, the time is actually faster than that in the northwest.

In the city of Bianliang, all the idle houses of the imperial court have been renovated, and the nobles of the party have begun to be received, and the aristocrats of the party are accompanied by generals from all walks of life, and the barracks of the garrisons in Bianliang have also been renovated. The meritorious soldiers of this battle will be transferred to various places again after the imperial court has completed the grand ceremony.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner...
