Chapter 355 The Magical Little Prince

Wang Ning'an used to be very unaware of why court officials are keen on fighting for the throne and regard the crown prince as the foundation of the country. The emperor is good and honest. What role can a child have? The foundation of the country is the hearts of the people and the people!

Of course, Wang Ning'an would still maintain this view, but the successful birth of the little prince did bring different changes to the Song Dynasty.

First of all, he is not only a prince, but also a legitimate son. His mother is the queen. From the moment he was born, he was a steady heir to the throne. No one could get involved. Even the literati in the world dared to publicly say that the prince was not qualified to succeed the throne.

This is very important, very important, very important!

The first person who felt the strong change was Prime Minister Jia Changchao.

As one of the three major culprits of Fan Zhongyan, Jia Changchao is really not weak. Fu Bi and Han Qi are what they are! I drank my foot washing water ten years ago, and it is the same now!

Someone is asking why Jia Changchao seemed hesitant and looked back and forth without any courage?

It’s really not that Jia Gong, Zhao Zhen had no son, and civil officials all competed to curry favor with Zhao Zongshi. Jia Changchao was in Daming Mansion at that time, and missed the good opportunity to make friends and could not get into Zhao Zongshi’s core circle.

With his status, of course he disdains to be a grandson. Therefore, Jia Changchao is apart from the mainstream of civil servants. He is involved in a relationship with Wang Ning'an and is reluctant to go against civil servants. This is why.

Our Jia Gong wants to serve the current emperor, leave a way out for the future, and guard against Zhao Zongjing's sudden rise... Dancing on the tip of three swords, if it were ordinary people, would have been solid for a long time. The fact that our Jia Gong is safe and sound means that his skills are profound and unusual.

However, when the prince was born, Jia Changchao's attitude immediately became different.

This time, the Runan Prince's Mansion is gone, and Zhao Zongjing doesn't have to worry about it. He should show the majesty of the Prime Minister.

Jia Changchao made the first memorial in the name of the Political Affairs Hall, which was to propose to strengthen the army.

Jia Xianggong believes that Wang Ning'an's investment in Beijing is very successful. At present, the logistics in Beijing is well developed, and various service industries have absorbed 200,000 of which 150,000 are the original Xiangjun.

These wing troops were dismissed, which directly reduced military expenditure by 2 million jin and contributed more than 3 million jin of tax revenue.

It is equivalent to adding 5 million yuan to the court, which is a great virtue.

Jia Changchao believed that it could be promoted to Daming Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture and other places, and spent five years to lay off another 300,000 troops to completely get rid of the heavy burden of military spending.

At the same time, we must use the saved military expenses to rectify the imperial guards.

Jia Xianggong believed that in the past, he only focused on disarmament and wanted to save money, but he forgot the root of it.

The army is about to fight, especially when facing a major enemy. Any rash disarmament will bring disaster consequences. Therefore, disarmament and strengthening the army are two sides.

The army is demoted, the imperial guards are forced!

We must take the reconstruction of the Jingsai Army as a breakthrough, rectify the Hebei Legion, eliminate the elderly and weak, enrich the war horses, refine the soldiers, and expand the ordnance workshops, produce more bed crossbows, increase gunpowder and oil, and study tactics to restrain the cavalry... Jia Changchao asked the Privy Council to take the lead in the reorganization of the army, and the Censorate was responsible for supervision, ensuring rapid and effective results. Within three to five years, a hundred thousand war-capable soldiers must be formed!

Jia Changchao's suggestion immediately attracted a lot of surprise.

Including Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu, Di Qing and others, they were all very surprised.

Lao Jia is hiding deeply enough. His discussion on disarmament and strengthening the army is classic. He has unique eyes and profound insights. He also advocates the establishment of 100,000 elite troops. It is very close to Di Qing's estimated strength of the Hebei Legion.

Based on Zhao Er's experience in the two northern expeditions, the limit of the Liao Kingdom was to fight against 200,000 strong soldiers. After so many years, the Liao Kingdom also declined a lot. If the Song Dynasty could produce 10 elites similar to the first country, it would have the capital to plot against Yan Yun. With the cooperation of the Bohai Kingdom, the restoration of Yan Yun is expected to be restored!

"This Jia Ziming is so hidden deep. Why didn't he raise it earlier?" Ouyang Xi's face turned pale and he was very annoyed.

Fan Zhongyan smiled, "Mr. Jia is indeed much better than us. People know to seize the opportunity. If the time is not there, it is useless to say more. The time is here and it will come naturally..."

Fan Zhongyan really made the case. After Jia Changgong submitted a letter, Zhao Zhen called him to the palace. The monarch and ministers talked alone for a day. Afterwards, Zhao Zhen immediately approved Jia Changgong's suggestion and issued an order to preside over the great cause of rectifying military affairs.

...

The magical effects of the little prince are far more than these.

Although Cao Qi had a good relationship with Wang Ning'an in the past, the Cao family did not get involved in the Jingsai army. The reason is very simple. As a relative of the foreign country, you must be cautious in every move and not leave any handle.

Especially the reserve position is hanging in the air, who knows whose hands the next emperor will fall into? If the Cao family has crossed the boundary, wouldn’t that be seeking death?

It was not until Empress Cao gave birth that the Cao family breathed a sigh of relief.

The future emperor is his own family!

Moreover, judging from Zhao Zhen's attitude, he liked this child very much. There were so many noises before, saying that he wanted to select personnel from the royal family. As the prince's uncle, Cao Qi stood up and charged for his nephew and supported the sky. That was natural.

All Cao Qi sent his own children to join the Jingsai Army without hesitation.

This is a signal.

As the Cao family's attitude changed, the remaining generals no longer hesitated, and all bet on Jingsai's army, treating this team as the future prince's personal guard!

I have to say that the little prince was born and received support from all parties. In addition to his father, countless people took action and tried their best for him.

But this lucky boy knew nothing, except gnawing his fingers and crying.

Queen Cao kept the little prince by his side. Although she arranged a wet nurse, Queen Cao insisted on feeding herself. Sure enough, the little guy was very healthy, and even cried with great enthusiasm.

Zhao Zhen came over to see the child when he had nothing to do and held his son in his arms. Uncle Zhao was so happy in an instant. With a son, what he did was meaningful. Without a son, the whole world was dark.

"Zi Tong, I am going to ask our son the best gentleman and let Ouyang Aiqing teach him how? Otherwise, Fan Aiqing can do it!"

When talking about his son's education, Empress Cao rarely did not blindly follow him.

"Sages, according to my own opinions, these old men, although they are first-class in their knowledge, but they all lack a little spirituality."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Zi Tong, looking at the Song Dynasty, is there any more suitable teachers than the two of them?"

"have!"

"who?"

"It's Lord Wang!" Empress Cao smiled and said, "Although he has not passed the imperial examination, he is not bad at learning. The Three Character Classic was written by him, and the calculation of Liuyi was also pioneered by him. I would like to say an excessive saying, although Mr. Ouyang and Lord Fan are all teaching at Liuyi, the true soul of Liuyi is Wang Ning'an!"

Zhao Zhen laughed, "It's really impossible to hide anything from Zi Tong's eyes. Yes, Wang Qing advocates the unity of knowledge and action, and the students of the Six Arts are different. It's just these four words! Otherwise, when our emperor grows up, we will send it directly to the Six Arts School, study with other children, and grow up together... In this way, our emperor has a large group of friends around us, and they can assist the emperor and let him sit firmly. Moreover, when he goes to the school, the emperor has more knowledge, and he will not be indifferent to his four bodies and grains... It's shameful to say that over the years, I have finally figured it out and cannot trust any group of people. I have just listened to civil officials and have been mediocre for decades, resulting in chaos in the country. Even Li Yuanhao can bully me!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen clenched his fists and his muscles became tense.

The little prince in his arms seemed to feel his father's strangeness. He stretched out his little hand unhappily, grabbed Zhao Zhen's beard, and tore it hard. His little eyes were staring at his father, which made Zhao Zhen laugh again, and he didn't even care about the beard being torn off.

Empress Cao hurriedly brought the child over and said angrily to her son: "Don't be rude to her father, have you heard?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "What does a child know? He is too young, but I am too old, I don't know..." Zhao Zhen shook his head and cheered up again: "Zi Tong, I want to clear the four barbarians for the emperor and give him a peaceful and prosperous era, so that I can rest assured!"

The biggest change brought by the little prince is Zhao Zhen!

Zhao Zhen, who was full of responsibility and mission, returned to his youth and worked extraordinarily. He was not a foolish worker when he was young, but a full purpose.

The first thing to bear is the attack on Xingcheng by the Bohai Kingdom. Zhao Zhen ordered to make every effort to promote the so-called loyalty and courage of the Dashi to fully demonstrate it.

When Wang Ning'an left Beijing, he arranged a task for Zeng Bu, asking him to make a newspaper, promote the concept of the Six Arts, and wipe out the corrupt scholars of the old school.

During this period, newspapers have been launched and are very popular among the people.

With the emperor's instructions, newspapers were even more numerous, reporting on the abominable nature of Liao, introducing the situation of Bohai Kingdom, and describing the Xingcheng War as a flower.

The Liao Kingdom suffered its own consequences and was full of evil. The tribes that could not bear the attack on the Liao Kingdom had already risen. The Bohai Kingdom was a fire of prairie fire, and it would sooner or later destroy the Khitan!

This is to cure the phobia!

There are also some articles, similar to the Bohai Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. In contrast, the Bohai Kingdom was just a few hundred survivors and could fight back. The Song Dynasty's people were 100 million, the land was thousands of miles, and wealth was piled up like mountains.

Why couldn’t the Song Dynasty be excited and restore the old place of Yanyun?

No more Yan Yun, what is his appearance? Go to meet his ancestors of all generations?

The entire Song Dynasty was shocked, and more and more young people even ran to join the army with their homes on their backs. Some people ran directly to Hebei, hoping to help the Bohai Sea restore its country.

In this kind of storm, the Liao Kingdom sent Zhang Xiaojie and Xiao Dayou as envoys to the Song Dynasty. The top scholar Zheng Xie and Liu Linsen were also the ones who came back with them.

After meeting Zhao Zhen, the Liao Kingdom showed a super tough attitude.

"We already know that the Song Dynasty enthroned the King of Bohai, attacked the Liao Kingdom behind the scenes, betrayed the alliance, and did everything despicable and shameless! If we do not stop immediately and handed over the pirates of Bohai to the Liao Kingdom, we will only have to fight together!"
