Chapter 116 Check and Balance and Fight for the Moon
A loving father, a filial son, and brothers, friends and respectful brothers have always been Zhao Xun’s ideal living conditions for a big family.
I originally thought that traveling to a top-notch wealthy family like the Chengguo Palace would inevitably lead to intrigues and intrigues.
But now it seems that Zhao Xun is overthinking.
Although his brothers were a little dandy and had many minor problems, they really had no intention of trying to seize the throne.
Of course, this has something to do with Zhao Xun being very good.
As the eldest son of a talented person, he should also make all his younger brothers feel despair, right?
Since we can't fight, then we won't fight at all.
Anyway, being born into such a wealthy family, even if you spend your whole life living in poverty and waiting to die, it will be enough for you.
"Thank you very much, grandpa. Mom is caring. My son is not filial. He is busy with official duties these days and doesn't come home often."
Zhao Xun took the initiative to admit his mistake, so that both his grandfather Zhao Yuan and mother Zhao Liu would feel better.
"Hey, you kid, why are you talking about this? Mother knows that you have a lot of errands at the Yamen, so I don't dare to disturb you. I only hope that you can do your errands attentively and live up to the emperor's favor."
Mrs. Zhao Liu pulled Zhao Xun to sit next to her and asked carefully: "Xun'er, are you used to living and eating in the bad people's yamen? If you are not used to it, you should move back home. The worst is to get up earlier every day. The Yamen clicks on Mao."
A son is the flesh that falls from his mother's body, not to mention Zhao Xun is the eldest son.
Mrs. Zhao Liu felt sorry for Zhao Xun, and it was natural for her to want Zhao Xun to move back home.
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that it would be okay to move back here for a while.
Just in time to spend some time with my parents.
Sometimes it's not a bad thing to slow down appropriately.
"Okay, son, listen to your mother."
Seeing that Zhao Xun really agreed, Mrs. Zhao Liu beamed with joy.
"My son is sensible. My son is really sensible."
Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan cleared his throat and coughed at the side: "Xun'er, there is one more thing I want to tell you as a father. In a few days, it will be the day when the major military envoys will attend the capital banquet. I believe you already know it. Bar?"
"Replying to my grandfather, His Majesty has issued an imperial edict, ordering the bad guys to work with the major yamen in the capital to take charge of the security and defense of the banquet."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "This matter is of great importance, you must be careful."
Seeing his father speaking so solemnly, Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Could it be that there really will be some big changes during the Jieduzhao's banquet in the capital?
"Grandpa, what are the rumors?"
"Well, it doesn't hurt to talk to you about this matter."
Zhao Yuan saw that his eldest son really didn't understand, so he said earnestly: "This banquet for the Jiedushi capital has been scheduled for a long time. It is usually held once every three years. At that time, all the Jiedushi from all major vassal towns must come to Chang'an City. It is called Going to the banquet is actually a job report."
Zhao Yuan paused and said: "Jiedu is in charge of military, political and financial power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local emperor. How can the court not be afraid of this? How can your majesty rest assured? Therefore, the term is usually three years and one term. When they arrive at Jiedushi, they must come to Chang'an to report on their duties. At that time, His Majesty will take the opportunity of a banquet to reallocate them to new posts. In this way, the relationship network they have worked hard for many years will be broken, and they will have to start over again, so that Your Majesty can Peace of mind.”
The general calculation that Zhao Yuan mentioned is the most straightforward anatomy of the Imperial Art.
The core of imperial art is checks and balances, and one party's power must not be allowed to expand endlessly.
The imperial envoys would naturally be wary of the major military governors who had sole power over one area, so the imperial court would use its power of personnel appointment and dismissal to transfer them away to achieve the purpose of balancing.
"So there are usually various assassinations before and after the banquet, in order to resist the imperial court's orders."
Zhao Yuan suddenly changed the topic and said: "This is why Your Majesty ordered the bad guys and various yamen to be responsible for the recent security of Chang'an City."
Zhao Xun was really surprised when he heard this.
Assassination?
"What do you mean, Master, the Jiedushi envoys will assassinate each other?" Gu
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and said: "That's right. Some military governors are unwilling to move their positions, so they will use this method to demonstrate to the court. Generally speaking, military governors in wealthy places fare badly, while military governors in desolate places do poorly.
Jiedushi makes him fight."
Zhao Xun couldn't help but gasped when he heard this.
These Jiedu envoys are all warriors, and many of them are practitioners.
For example, the protagonist in the Wang Zhongyi case that caused a stir in the capital not long ago, Shuozhou Jiedushi Wang Zhongyi, was a third-grade martial artist.
Martial arts fighting is the most direct, not as convoluted as civil servants.
"But are these big guys really not afraid of His Majesty's wrath?"
"Boss?"
Hearing these two words, Zhao Yuan was stunned.
"Well, it means big shot."
Zhao Xun explained quickly.
"Your Majesty also has to take into account all aspects. You cannot let your temper run wild."
Zhao Yuan sighed and said: "It would be okay if there were only one or two Jiedushi envoys, Your Majesty would have his own way to deal with it. But with so many Jiedu envoys in the capital, Your Majesty is afraid of causing trouble. If the Jiedushi envoys are really pushed into a hurry, they will form a
If we join forces to resist the imperial court, we will really be out of control."
Zhao Xun already understood in his heart after hearing this.
Even if he is as powerful as Emperor Xianlong, it is impossible for him to speak his mind completely.
Jieduzhi has great power, and the court can only use clever force to divide things. If it blindly uses brute force, the situation is likely to get out of control.
This court is like a game of chess, and the placement of every chess piece must be carefully considered.
Emperor Xianlong was a chess player, and powerful ministers could have the opportunity to play against him.
Obviously, Zhao Xun is just a chess piece now. He still has a long way to go before he can become a chess player and compete with Emperor Xianlong.
"My son has memorized all my grandfather's teachings and will definitely be careful."
Zhao Xun said word by word.
...
...
After greeting his parents, Zhao Xun returned to his room to rest.
Last time Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi gave him a Taoist classic "Qingxu Xin Dharma" and asked him to study it carefully, saying that it was the key to breaking through to the seventh level of meditation.
Zhao Xun has been busy investigating the case and has no time to spend time studying it carefully.
Now that I finally have some free time, I naturally have to study it carefully.
As far as the level of cultivation is concerned, everything in the warrior system is the most straightforward.
Things in the Confucian system are relatively obscure and require careful understanding.
As for the techniques of the Taoist system, they are the most mysterious, and sometimes you may not be able to appreciate the essence even if you study them carefully.
Zhao Xun has only been exposed to these three cultivation systems so far, and has never touched the Buddhist and Demonic sects, so he has no comment.
When you study Taoist classics, you must have a calm mind.
Zhao Xun sat cross-legged on the bed and began to breathe in and out while reading "Qingxu Xin Dharma".
Different from the feeling when he studied "The Initial Enlightenment of Wenzong", at this moment Zhao Xun felt as if he was floating, and the boundary between soul and body became blurred.
Damn it, is this the Taoist mystery mentioned by my mentor?
