Jia Sidao was stunned, wondering why I suddenly mentioned the past, and replied absently: "Your Majesty, this is what an old minister should do."
Jia Sidao and I both knew in our hearts that the reason why Jia Sidao supported me in taking the position against all odds was because the former prince Zhao Fu was weak and incompetent, had no independent opinions and was easily controlled by him.
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since I ascended the throne."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it will be a full year next month,"
"Well, that's right," I said with a smile, "Master, I remember when the late Emperor was still alive, yes, it seems that it was on the Double Ninth Festival last year, the late Emperor asked me to address you as Master, which meant that I would treat you as a minister. As a teacher, you must govern the country well. Do you still remember, sir?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I remember,"
I nodded slightly and said: "In the past year since I came to the throne, even though things have increased more and more, I have never dared to forget the late emperor's instructions. In the past few months, I have not even had time to chat with my teachers and ministers. The first time I had a chat alone with my teacher and Chen was probably in February. I remember that we were discussing the candidates for the government office, and my teacher and I recommended Liao Ying and Liao Aiqing."
"Exactly, His Majesty has taken care of everything since then,"
"Haha, Master, I have no choice. After the late emperor went to the west, I found the will left by the late emperor in his royal study room. It made two demands on me. The first is that I need to recover Huiqin Er. Zong lost the mountains and rivers, and secondly, I want to be a wise king in the style of Tang Zong and Hanwu, so I have to work hard day and night,"
"The old minister seems to have never heard your Majesty mention the will."
"Haha, this is the first time I have said it to the outside world. Master, you must know that these two requirements are really too high. Before I am sure, I don't want to declare it casually to avoid being laughed at. After all, My performance as the crown prince is well known to everyone in the government and at home."
Jia Sidao didn't know whether this so-called will was true or false. After thinking about it, he bowed and said: "The old minister hereby wishes your majesty to fulfill the late emperor's wish as soon as possible."
"Haha, I will definitely know how to do it, but I still need a large number of loyal ministers and capable people to help me. I will treat my ministers as my teachers, and I can also use my teachers as my ministers. I will use my teachers as my ministers. You think so,"
"Your Majesty is wise,"
What I said is very clear. The word "teacher and minister" can be used by anyone, as long as I am willing.
At this point, I suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, Master, please tell me how I am doing as an emperor."
"Ah," Jia Sidao was stunned for a moment when he heard my sudden question and didn't know how to answer.
The rule since ancient times is that the superiors should judge the inferiors. There is no reason for the inferiors to judge the superiors. If you are not careful, you may have responded to Master Lianzhen's offending remarks. Of course, Jia Sidao can only respond with silence.
"Master, you and I are here today. We can talk as you please. I just want to hear your true words,"
Under my questioning, Jia Sidao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the king is the king and the ministers are ministers. The king can comment on the minister's gains and losses, but the minister cannot make unreasonable comments on the king's words and deeds. This is the ancient system. , I cannot do this arbitrarily, and please forgive me for my sins, Your Majesty."
"Master, today is just a casual chat between you and me. Master, you don't need to take it too seriously."
Since I came to the throne, I have worked hard to govern, and the atmosphere in the court has gradually become more enlightened, and the various ministries have also shown a prosperous situation. It can be said that I have shown the style of a wise king, and the strength of the Song Dynasty has also been greatly enhanced in this year. Judging from these, I am indeed much better than Song Lizong.
It's just that in Jia Sidao's view, this Zhao Yu is no longer the easy-to-control prince Zhao Yu. His every move is unpredictable and appears to be extremely sophisticated and smooth. Just like this time, the military reform is nothing more than a stick. The big stick was thrown at him, and as soon as he finished smashing it, he had a shameless heart-to-heart talk with himself, which made the already shameless Jia Sidao feel a little inferior.
After a year, Zhao Yu, who was supposed to be afraid of Jia Sidao, turned into a completely different person, a Zhao Yu who was afraid of Jia Sidao.
How could Jia Sidao dare to answer directly: "Your Majesty, I am too shameless to speak nonsense."
"Okay, then let me speak for myself. Master, you also know that I can only speak after I am seven years old, right?"
"Your Majesty, many ministers in the court know this. This was one of the reasons why they opposed His Majesty's ascension to the throne."
"Well, it is indeed rare for a child to speak only at the age of seven, let alone the one he is destined to be. I will tell you the reason today, because I am the guardian chosen by God."
"Guardian, what is this?" Jia Sidao was very surprised when he saw that I didn't seem to be joking.
"The so-called guardians are the inheritors who protect our Chinese clan in accordance with the destiny. They are the lineage left in the world by the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor when he ascended. The purpose is that when the Chinese nation is fatally injured, the inheritors will be born to ensure the safety of the nation. Continuation, so this lineage can also be called the patron saint of the Chinese clan. I have been hazy from the age of seven to before I ascended the throne. This is because I was in the period of hiding in the abyss, and my teachers and ministers must also think that I am in the dark. He was a completely different person before and after he ascended the throne. This is the reason."
Jia Sidao was confused after what he heard. He couldn't tell whether it was true or not. If it was true, it could explain Zhao Yu's change. But is there really such a mysterious thing in the world?
"If I am not a guardian, how can I know the signs of the heavenly vision in advance?" I looked at the confused Jia Sidao and continued, "Since ancient times, it has been said that there is a destined emperor. This statement is actually It comes from the guardian. On that day, Emperor Xuanyuan told me about the vision coming from the sky through the late emperor’s dream. Sir, do you believe it?”
“This, Your Majesty,,,,,,,”
I know that Jia Sidao does not completely believe it: "If I were not the guardian, I would not believe it. The moment I ascended the throne, I awakened. My teachers and ministers must have heard that when the late emperor died, I continued to What I slept for twelve hours is that I am accepting the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan and reviving the Song Dynasty. This is the only task that Emperor Xuanyuan entrusted to me."
There was a strange look in Jia Sidao's eyes, and he still seemed to believe it but not believe it: "Your Majesty is the guardian, which is really my great fortune for the Song Dynasty."
I nodded: "Although I was chosen as the guardian, the road to resurgence still requires me to move forward step by step. The various reform measures I have formulated are also derived from the inheritance of Xuanyuan Huangdi, not myself. I thought it up out of thin air. To be honest, I can't think of it either. I naturally know that Shifeng Trading Company is my property."
"Your Majesty, I know,"
"Well, the same goes for the origins of MSG, magnifying glasses and other items,"
Jia Sidao was a traitor of a generation, but not a traitor. His current status and power came more from Song Lizong's weakness and his laissez-faire. At this time, Jia Sidao's heart seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Originally, Jia Sidao was on the verge of collapse. Sidao is still thinking about how to counter my reform measures. After all, he still has 70,000 forbidden troops in his hands, and the border troops who support the military reform are thousands of miles away. If Jia Sidao makes a desperate move and orders 70,000 forbidden troops to besiege the palace, There seems to be some hope of forcing the palace to remonstrate.
But does Jia Sidao dare to bet? A paper tiger is a paper tiger. After all, he is not Zhao Kuangyin who rebelled against Chen Qiao.
In fact, Jia Sidao also knew very well that if he really ordered 70,000 imperial troops to besiege the palace, perhaps less than half of them would obey. After all, this is an era when imperial power is supreme, and the imperial power of the Zhao family is still the only one in the hearts of ordinary soldiers. of supreme.
In the past year, everyone can see the progress of the Song Dynasty, and the improvement of people's lives is even more obvious. Many of the imperial guards in Lin'an came from the surrounding Liangzhe Road, and naturally they also know some of the developments among the people from home.
What Jia Sidao can be sure of is that a series of my reform measures, including the introduction of MSG and other items, are impossible for Zhao Fu to have thought of. If they are inherited from Xuanyuan Huangdi, it will be easier to explain. Jia Sidao's inner momentum finally Exhaustion: "Your Majesty's magical powers are indeed in accordance with the destiny of heaven. In the past year, I have seen the image of the Mingjun."
I laughed loudly and said: "Master, there are many comments from the late emperor about you in the Imperial Study Room and Xianwen Pavilion. I will talk to you about it another day."
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
"Okay, let's go next door together. The banquet is about to begin. Master, after dinner, go back and have a good rest. You are old and you have to take care of your body." My casual words of concern were heard by Jia Sidao. But my heart was trembling.
Jia Sidao stood up quickly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Please, Your Majesty."
Whether I am a guardian or the divine being mentioned by Lu Xiufu, it is not something that an ordinary person like Jia Sidao can understand, because I am not Zhao Yu, but a time traveler with eight hundred years of experience.
If Jia Sidao could stop now, he might be able to change his ending in the original history and end well, but which way would he take?
Of course, I believe that there is another reason why Jia Sidao did not dare to remonstrate with troops. It is the news from the Longya Intelligence Network that Lu Xiufu has established relationships with many young generals in the Forbidden Army through Xia Qing and Xia Song. I learned from the words that most of these young generals support my new policy. It is also their dream to revive the Song Dynasty and return our country to me. After all, they are all from the Song Dynasty.
After lunch, I summoned Lu Xiufu, the envoy of the four war zones and the secretary of the Military Academy, in the royal study.
After a brief exchange of greetings, I got straight to the point: "Dear ladies, do you have anything to add to the content about military reform this morning?"
Gundam stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, please cheer me up. I just hope that your Majesty will give the order to march north to the Central Plains as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will be the first to ask for battle and recover the mountains and rivers for your Majesty."
I smiled and said, "Gao Aiqing, just sit down and talk if you have anything to say. This is not the court's meeting hall. Lu Aiqing, the same goes for the three of you. You don't need to be restrained here."
Lu Wende stood up quickly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Haha, look, why are you getting up again? Lu Aiqing, sit down."
Lu Xiufu next to him also said: "Master Lu, there is no need to be polite here,"
Xiao Qi made hot tea and poured a cup for everyone.
I took a sip and said: "Four dear friends, recovering the mountains and rivers is the only way for our country to rejuvenate. This requires the army of our country. I have said that when the time is right, I will divide our troops and move forward together. You There is no need to fight, everyone has a share, but before that, you must make preparations, otherwise it will be impossible to win with the current military strength. Let me first talk about the fourth point of the military reform. This is what you are going to do when you go back It will be done immediately afterward,”
I handed the training manual to everyone ***: "This is the basic training method for soldiers that I wrote. You can implement it after you return. In addition, you must develop corresponding offensive training according to the characteristics of your respective war zones. project, and submit your respective training methods to the Military Academy. If I think it is feasible, I will promote it in other theaters. Now, I will focus on the development of armed forces behind enemy lines."
