Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 883
"Officials, Concubine Cao Xian is outside the palace and wants to see the official." Sun Li hurried back and whispered in Zhao Huan's ear.

Zhao Huan frowned and looked at Sun Li. If he knew it was such a trouble, he should have asked Zhao Ying to make a trip.

"Think about why you are not the ancestor of the Great Song Palace, but Zhao Ying is!" Zhao Huan sprayed Sun Li with spit on his face.

See?Crying, making trouble, and hanging himself three times, the Wende Hall was not at peace.

not see?In the Ming Dynasty, Cao Xian threw a pair of children into the well, and the emperor of Song Dynasty became a big joke in the world!

The people of the Great Song Dynasty, who were holding back their energy to watch the excitement, waited eagerly for a revelation from the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty, how could they let it go?

Storytelling, storytelling, story books, shadow puppetry, and novels that are now popular will all blossom in full bloom!
"Xuan!" Zhao Huan said to Sun Li angrily.

Zhao Ying's expression of respect was just right, and he appeared immediately. He stood beside Zhao Huan and stared at Sun Li with fierce eyes.

"Okay, stop staring, you slipped away, and he has never done anything like that." Zhao Huan said to Zhao Ying with a little impatience.

Cao Xian appeared in the Palace of Wende wearing a palace skirt with a long tail, and timidly saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhao Huan looked Cao Xian up and down, the gourd-shaped figure was really not good, but with a little dressing up, it was a beautiful landscape.What Zhao Huan cared more about was Cao Xian's attire, such a well-dressed attire, green and purple, with a trace of grace and luxury, a look that Zhao Huan had never seen before.

Is this preparing to force the palace?

Zhao Huan's complexion was complete, and he said seriously: "The harem of the Great Song Dynasty is not allowed to participate in politics. I told you about the matter of court discussion, which means that this matter has been finalized, and there is no possibility of further changes when it is ordered out of Wende Palace. You No matter what you say or do, nothing will change the outcome."

"I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I cannot exchange the lives of the people of Xixia with the lives of my own people."

Great Song has money, but the current situation is that there is not enough food. Zhao Huan will never exchange the food safety of Great Song for Xixia's Antai.

Cao Xian stood up and said neither sad nor happy: "The ministers and concubines are here today for the affairs of the Western Dynasty, but not for the nobles of the Western Dynasty, but for the people of the Western Dynasty. Your Majesty is benevolent. According to the four directions, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the Western Dynasty were guilty, but the people of the Western Dynasty were innocent."

Zhao Huan slightly frowned, tasted Cao Xian's words, knocked on the table without saying a word.

The names of the courtiers of the Song Dynasty and Cao Xian are very interesting. They called Xixia the Western Dynasty, not the Xixia in Zhao Huan's mouth.

This is an ideological issue. From the beginning to the end, neither the courtiers of the Song Dynasty nor Cao Xian believed that Xixia's self-reliance as king was legal.Although Zhao Huan, a latecomer, knew that Xixia had essentially established himself as king.

"Do you have anything to say? The matter of the Western Dynasty." Zhao Huan changed his mind naturally. Since ancient times, the inherent territory has been a good reason to hold high the stick of legal principles and become famous as a teacher. He has no reason to refuse.

In fact, before the Great Song Dynasty, the title of Xixia was quite confusing. It was not until the last few court meetings, when the matter of Xixia was discussed, that the courtiers unified their caliber.

It seems that Li Gang told the courtiers in private that it is a foregone conclusion to attack Xixia. Zhao Huan very much agrees with Li Gang's way of uniting the front for such an act of finding reasons in advance. Li Gang is very strict about ideological construction.

"Your Majesty, please allow some of the people of the Western Dynasty to enter Xiaoguan and Dengkou to enter the Song Dynasty as Song people." Cao Xian bowed down again and said.

"I don't have food to feed them." Zhao Huan explained, but he still disagreed.

Cao Xian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, many people in the Western Dynasty have food. This is also a good opportunity to strengthen our Great Song Dynasty. Before the locust disaster, people who can realize that the locust disaster is a foregone conclusion and social turmoil must be people with insight and must be People who miss the Great Song Dynasty, at this time they enter the customs with the people of the Song Dynasty, and bring their own rations, and make a living in the Great Song Dynasty, so they can strengthen our country and society in the Great Song Dynasty. When the locust plague occurs, the pass will be closed."

"If the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty occupy the entire territory of the Western Dynasty that day, these people can return to the outside of the pass to stabilize the situation in the Western Dynasty."

Analyzing Cao Xian from this angle, Zhao Huan felt that there was some truth to it.

Many people from Japan, Koryo, and Champa came to Song Dynasty from Tangkou and Jinkou because of the epidemic, and there were many talents among them.

Thinking about Song Dynasty, this sentence also moved Zhao Huan to a certain extent.These people are the backbone of stabilizing Xixia when Xixia is taken down in the future!
Li Renxiao, of course, is now called Zhao Renxiao, who has been the only king of Xixia who can make a move in Xixia for more than three hundred years. His mother is definitely his greatest helper.

"When I am in the court every day, I will discuss with the courtiers again to see if I can send out a recruitment list. Zhao Ying, please write this down." Zhao Huan didn't finish his words, he had his own limitations, he Take it out to discuss with the courtiers.

Cao Xian said abruptly: "Your Majesty, my concubine asks Yu Wu to pray for rain."

"No!" Zhao Huan flatly rejected Cao Xian's request!What a joke, no matter how bad Cao Xian is, she is also a virtuous concubine of the Song Dynasty, so there is no such thing as Yu Wu praying for rain!

If there is a severe drought in the country, it is a means of praying for rain in the Central Plains Dynasty by leading witches and dancing fishes. Why do they use women to pray for rain?
In severe drought, yang destroys yin.Hu Chongyin hated it, and used witches to dance fish.This is the official explanation of Qiyu Yongnv.

And the word shaman, in the context of praying for rain, means: a woman can do something invisible and dance to descend the gods. What is invisible dancing?Just no clothes.

Yu dance to pray for rain means not wearing clothes to lure male gods, or to lure drought 魃, to achieve the meaning of rain.

In Zhao Huan's view, it was bullshit and nonsensical logic. Qin Tianjian had written many times to ask for rain, but Zhao Huan refused on the grounds that a gentleman is far from ghosts and gods.

"What if there is no rain after a long drought?" Cao Xian asked calmly.

Zhao Huan instantly understood Cao Xian's logic.

If there is a long drought, then the emperor has to stand up and take the blame. Who makes the emperor the son of heaven?If the sky does not rain, your emperor is responsible.

Therefore, what Cao Xian said about Yuwu praying for rain is not a feudal superstition, but a question of who bears the responsibility.

Qin Tianjian begged for rain but failed, so it was naturally the responsibility of Qin Tianjian, and Cao Xian's responsibility was Cao Xian's failure to pray for rain.Zhao Huan hated feudal superstition, but the people of Song Dynasty needed comfort.

Zhao Huan agreed to Cao Xian's suggestion and prepared for the court meeting. In Cao Xian's heart, it was a great favor, and it was too late to repay it.

"It's been a long drought, it's better for me to punish myself." Zhao Huan shook his head and rejected Cao Xian's proposal. Cao Xian couldn't bear the responsibility of not raining at all.

It stands to reason that witches who pray for rain but fail will be burned to death. This bad habit exists in both the East and the West, and it can be regarded as a global characteristic.

"Your Majesty cannot issue an imperial edict against oneself." Cao Xian had a smile on her face.

Oh?
