Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 29

Zhao Dezhao's answer mainly talked about three aspects: "national policy, military system and economy".

From the external military pressure faced by the Tang Dynasty, it talks about the response and mistakes of the Li and Tang courts in national policy.

From the corruption of the Fubing system after the mid-Tang Dynasty, it talks about the supplement and rise of the recruiting system;

Finally, it ends with the economic foundation of the separatist regime:
"...The feudal town can be self-sufficient in terms of money, food, taxation, and has sufficient financial resources to raise elite soldiers on its own without relying on the financial allocation of the imperial court. This is the economic basis for the disaster of the feudal town. As long as this economic foundation is removed, it can have the effect of dredging the bottom. !"

Zhao Dezhao spoke eloquently and non-stop for half an hour, explaining the internal driving factors of the "separatist rule of feudal towns" in the Tang Dynasty from all aspects.

Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and his eyes were straightened!
He had discussed the "disaster of the feudal town" with the civil servants of the imperial court many times. Everyone had different levels and put forward different opinions, but they were all similar.

Or blame Tang Xuanzong for being fatuous in his later years and causing the "Anshi Rebellion". Without the "Anshi Rebellion", how could there be the disaster of the later feudal towns?

Or blame Tang Suzong for not listening to Li Mizhi's words, ruining the good situation for life, making the "separation of feudal towns" an established situation.

Anyway, the cause of the disaster was the incompetence of Li Tang's court, and the emperor insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to persuasion.

Those who can think more deeply and put forward several institutional and environmental reasons are not one out of ten.

As for the son who can comprehensively and deeply analyze the deep-seated reasons, and speak convincingly, there is no one!

As far as my son's level is concerned, why should he be sent to the palace school to study? He should be invited to the court to teach the ministers!
"Erlang, your mouth is dry, drink your saliva first."

Zhao Kuangyin suppressed the shock in his heart and poured a cup of tea for his son with his own hands.

He watched Zhao Dezhao drink it all, and then asked slowly: "Erlang, where did you get what you just said? Who taught it?"

Zhao Kuangyin knew the quality of his son's previous talents and knowledge. He didn't really believe that this was something his son came up with, and it was probably taught by someone else.

Even if he tried hard, he would never have guessed that the tirade his son spoke was nothing more than the trashy historical gossip on the Internet a thousand years later.

And this is exactly the crushing of concepts and knowledge brought about by crossing the ages!
"Nobody taught it." Zhao Dezhao put down the tea bowl, and replied humbly: "This is what my son has learned after reading the history books of previous dynasties these days, and after thinking it over and over again. I also ask Dad to teach me!"

Zhao Kuangyin got up and paced, looking a little embarrassed, he read a lot of history books, and his original intention was that he really wanted to "advise" a few words.

But he soon discovered that his son's explanation was very rigorous and almost impeccable. If he tried to criticize it forcefully, he might not be able to convince others but would be laughed at. His son would not dare to laugh openly, but would laugh secretly in his heart.

Zhao Kuangyin was unable to comment, so he could only nod his head heavily, and even said a few "good" words, and said with relief on his face: "If you have a son, I, Zhao Dayu, have a queen!"

Zhao Dezhao was overjoyed when he heard that, Daddy dared to promise to make himself the crown prince, he just asked me if I want to be the crown prince, you can't just be kidding me, right?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin changed the subject, and said in a deep voice: "It's good that you can have real knowledge and insights when you read history. But governing the country is not just based on the knowledge gained from books, but also the skill and ability to manage affairs. "

"Then daddy will send his son to serve in the Imperial Army, just the Dianqian Secretary that the son mentioned!" Zhao Dezhao was disappointed, so he had to settle for the next best thing. If you don't give me the position of crown prince, then give me a few In the area of ​​the military belt, this is always okay, right?

"You think it's easy to lead soldiers. You have never led soldiers before. What kind of appearance can you bring out? The military preparations in the capital are the key points of our dynasty. How can you allow you to move without authorization? No!" Zhao Kuangyin refuted with a straight face up.

Zhao Dezhao felt a little annoyed at this moment. You asked me if I wanted to test me again. After tossing and tossing for a long time, I didn't get any shit, so I deliberately whispered: "Daddy, your stature is getting fatter."

Zhao Kuangyin was startled: "What?"

Zhao Dezhao snorted lightly: "Bring your word and gain weight."

Zhao Kuangyin was stupefied, and then realized that his son was mocking him for not counting what he said, so he smiled wryly twice.

He had no choice but to comfort his son patiently:

"Since Daddy promised you to be in power, he will definitely let you be in power."

"But you need to wait for the right time and arrange an errand that you can handle. Otherwise, you will fail when you start to work independently, which will greatly damage your prestige and reputation and be detrimental to your future prospects."

"So, you can't rush."

"We have to eat the food one bite at a time, and drink the wine one bite at a time. It's a big step..."

Hearing what his father said, Zhao Dezhao silently answered a line from the movie "It's easy to pull the ball".

"...When you take a big step, you tend to stumble, so we father and son take our time."

Zhao Kuangyin continued to speak earnestly, his face became serious:

"If you can really win the blessings of the gods and surrender to the people of the court and the barbarians, will Daddy not obey the heavens and others? Erlang, it's all up to you to see where you go in the end!"

Hearing this, Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but look up in surprise.

The hint in the words of the emperor's father couldn't be more clear——

His qualifications as a "candidate crown prince" have already passed the assessment and obtained the approval of the emperor's father.

From now on, the emperor's father will continue to cultivate and support himself, but the emperor's father will not do stupid things that overwhelm the seedlings. He will wear as many pants as he has ass.

As for how far he can go, whether he can become the "prince prince" until he lifts up the sky of the Song Dynasty, it depends on his own ability and good luck.

In a word: I can support you, help you, and protect you, but I can't feed you with a bowl. Son, you need to grow up and become stronger, make more achievements, accumulate prestige, win the hearts of the ruling and wild people, and use your ability to overwhelm you Your second uncle, the crown prince will naturally be yours at that time!

"What Daddy said today, my son will keep it in his heart and never forget it!"

Zhao Dezhao saluted his father very earnestly, with a dignified and serious posture.

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and laughed loudly:

"Erlang, don't be scared, you don't have to be so serious and nervous! Your father is only over [-] years old, and his appetite is not bad now. He can eat several catties of meat in one meal. His health is not bad, and he will last another ten years. It's not difficult. Even if you are the reincarnation of Adou, with your father supporting you and teaching you for ten years, you will always be able to rise to the top!"

Zhao Dezhao smiled.

Zhao Kuangyin also laughed.

Father and son laughed together.

Zhao Dezhao smiled, feeling sad for a while.

Because in this world, he is the only one who knows that Dad hasn't been there for ten years.
