Yuan Ji thought for a while and then said: "This Valley of the Kings is where my ancestor Huangdi Xuanyuan ascended. The valley is divided into the inner hall and the outer hall. The people in the inner hall never set foot in the human world. The outer hall is divided into the Shu Hall and the Martial Arts Hall.
The humble minister is from the martial arts hall of the outer palace. Due to the restrictions of the sect rules, I can only say this about what happened in the Imperial Valley. I will tell you when there is a chance in the future. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
I didn’t ask further questions. I thought to myself, most ancient people liked to be mysterious. No wonder many good things are always lost in later generations. It’s just that it seems that there are no Guo Jing or Huang Rong in this world. I smiled and said: “What’s wrong with you, sir?”
Yes, after the death of the late emperor, I plan to change this martial arts class to one lesson a day, and I will need more guidance from my husband."
When Yuan Ji heard what I said, his eyes showed a mix of joy and worry: "I am very happy that your majesty likes the lessons of the humble minister. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. Your majesty shoulders the great responsibility of the world and should focus on cultivating the sword of the emperor.
"Sir, this common people's sword must be used in moderation."
The Song Dynasty has always valued literature over martial arts. The late emperor knew that Zhao Fu had been frail and sick since he was a child, so he just invited Yuan Ji to teach martial arts. The purpose was only to strengthen his body. But I know that my body only has a lifespan of ten years, so I dare not
Take it lightly, of course no one will believe this reason.
"Of course I can practice the Sword of the Emperor, but the Sword of the Emperor and the Sword of the Common People complement each other. Just like a famous saying from the previous dynasty, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The Sword of the Emperor is the superstructure of the Sword of the Common People.
, is used to control concubines
The sword of the people, but on the other hand, the sword of the common people is also the basis of the sword of the emperor and can restrain the sword of the emperor. These two swords complement each other and restrain each other. I need to have both. As for the priorities, I only need to grasp them immediately.
Can."
In later generations, these words were only the most basic dialectical theory, but to Yuan Ji, they were extremely fresh and he fell into deep thought for a while.
"Yuan Ji." I suddenly shouted.
"I'm here." Yuan Ji came back from his thoughts.
My tone changed, my eyes glanced, and I said with a scornful attitude: "What you said today must not be leaked to a third person, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Yuan Ji felt a chill in his heart, and even with his superb cultivation, he couldn't help but kneel down and said: "I know."
At this moment, Yuan Ji suddenly felt that I seemed to be a sharp sword of the emperor, commanding the world, and no one dared to disobey.
When I left, I heard Yuan Ji intermittently muttering to himself: "Is this the legendary sword of the emperor?... They are completely different... Could it be the real dragon emperor?"
Regarding the sword of the emperor, the most common view comes from Zhuangzi's Sword Chapter. Zhuangzi divided swords into the sword of the emperor, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the common people.
The sword of the emperor is as straight as it can be, it can be lifted as high as it can be, it can move without any problems, it can move without any sideways, it can cut through floating clouds when it rises, and it can destroy the ground below. Once this sword is used, it will bring the princes to justice, and the world will obey them. This is the sword of the emperor.
Carrying the sword of the emperor, it splits the floating clouds above and cuts off the earth below.
This is what Zhuangzi calls the sword of the emperor.
The common people's sword wins by moves and strength, while the emperor's sword wins by momentum. It is the best strategy to defeat the enemy's troops without fighting.
"The official family, Mr. Jia is asking for an audience outside the palace."
This is the sixth day since I came to this world, and it is also the first time someone has come to the palace to look for me, but this person is temporarily listed as my biggest enemy.
I know my real battle is about to begin from this moment.
"See Your Majesty." Jia Sidao bowed.
"Without courtesy, Sir, please sit down and watch tea." I knew that Jia Sidao would not kneel down and would not point out.
Xiao Qi introduced Jia Sidao into the house, immediately made tea and left.
It was the first time I saw this traitorous figure in the late Song Dynasty up close. Jia Sidao was extremely tall, wearing a scholar's silk scarf and official uniform.
He looked arrogant. I regained Zhao Yu's lazy expression and languid eyes and said, "My teacher and minister have been concerned about our state affairs in the Song Dynasty recently and have done their best. They are actually the pillars of our dynasty. I am very pleased."
Jia Sidao said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have received the kindness of the late emperor, and I should repay you with a spring of water."
"Master, I have been busy with the mourning of the late emperor these days. You have worked hard. I will reward you well after the late emperor has achieved great success."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. All arrangements have been made for the funeral of the late emperor. Tomorrow we can see the late emperor off according to the etiquette. I have other matters to discuss with the officials when I come today."
"What's the matter, teacher and minister? But there's no harm in talking."
Jia Sidao looked at me and said: "Your Majesty, I have received great love from the late Emperor and am a very human minister. I should repay the kindness of the late Emperor for knowing me. Now that the late emperor has died, I should do my best to assist your Majesty. However, I am old and weak, and my mental strength is not good."
I am haggard, so I will wait for the late Emperor's great gift to resign and return to the court, go home to take care of myself, and hope for your majesty's permission."
There are indeed records in history about Jia Sidao's resignation, and it seems that it happened more than once.
I know this is Jia Sidao trying to test me. As the saying goes, once the emperor comes to the throne, how will I, the new emperor, treat him, the former emperor's old minister, after he ascends the throne? Of course Jia Sidao wants to know, this can be regarded as a way to retreat and advance.
Good move.
In fact, at the end of the Song Dynasty, there were no famous officials with both intelligence and intelligence in the court. Just like the generals in the late Shu Han Dynasty, there were no generals in Shu, and Liao Hua was the vanguard. Compared with those who only wrote slanderous Confucian articles, Jia Sidao could still
He can be considered a capable minister. Especially
The implementation of the Public Land Law somewhat alleviated the financial constraints of the treasury. However, the Public Land Law offended many large landowners, and during the specific implementation, Jia Sidao and others also corrupted the law and finally led to complete distortion. This was the last thing Jia Sidao had to do.
The key to a good death
One of the reasons.
As for the quality of the public land law, there have always been mixed reviews, and I don’t have the energy to ask about it at the moment.
"Jia Sidao, since you are a famous traitor in history, I will use you to eradicate those cancers that are only for yourself, so I can't let you leave now." Thinking of this, I hurriedly pretended.
He said in panic: "Master, why did you say this? The late emperor asked me to treat him as a master. As soon as I ascended the throne, my master wanted to
Are you abandoning me? You must not do this, you must not do it. There are many important things going on in this dynasty, and I would be very grateful if you ask my teachers and ministers to help me." After saying that, I wanted to squeeze out two drops of crocodile tears.
But inadvertently, I thought of Le Lingshan again, and the suppression over this matter in the past few days suddenly broke out, and I couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
Seeing my sincerity, Jia Sidao said with contempt in his heart: "A useless person, an Adou who can't help up the wall." However, he still looked touched on the surface and said: "Your Majesty, you can't be like this, since Your Majesty still cares about it.
If you are an old minister like me, let's postpone this matter for later. It's just that I feel that my energy is not as good as before, and I hope that the officials will promote more overweight talents to help me."
I thought to myself: "Is this old fox showing his true intentions?"
I wiped away my tears and said: "That's right. It's just that I have just succeeded to the throne and I am not familiar with the ministers in this court. If you have any suggestions for ministers, I will agree. It just so happens that my mother has also recommended several ministers.
After the death of the emperor, I will appoint them all together."
"The Queen Mother also recommended it?" Jia Sidao said with some surprise. In Lizong's era, when Jia Sidao gained power, in addition to eradicating his political opponents, he also expelled many relatives from the court, so he was very discordant with the harem.
"Yes, there are only three or five people. Does this teacher think there is a problem?"
"Oh, no problem." Jia Sidao said thoughtfully, "With the help of many ministers, I can relax a little."
"I have worked hard these days, Master. If I feel physically tired in the future, I can change it from once a day to once every three days."
Jia Sidao was not polite. He still sat on the chair and bowed his hands: "I would like to thank you in advance for your majesty's understanding. In the early days of your majesty's reign, you still need to be more rigorous. There are three things to do when a new official takes office.
You should also make some gestures when you ascend the throne, so as not to let the loyal ministers catch the mistakes and publicize them everywhere, which will damage your Majesty's reputation. In the officialdom, if there is nothing else to do, the veteran minister will resign."
Jia Sidao was very considerate. He knew that Zhao Fu had bad conduct. Before he could sit down in the Dragon Court, Queen Mother Xie Daoqing might take the opportunity to interfere in the government affairs, which would be detrimental to both Jia Sidao and me.
"What Master said is absolutely true. I should pay attention to it. Master, please wait a moment. I have one more thing to discuss with you."
