The imperial inheritance system proposed by Zhao Zhen transfers internal contradictions to the outside.
After each prince left the capital and arrived at the place, a series of cruel battles would begin.
Not only will they fight on their own, they will also draw a large number of officials into the fight.
Many officials will fall victim to the princes' struggle for power.
Those who die to die are outsiders, and the royal family doesn't have to die.
Not only does not need to die, the emperor who has the capacity to accommodate people can also select some of these talents and continue to entrust them with important tasks, thereby deepening the influence of the imperial power on the locality and strengthening the rule of the Zhao imperial family over the Song Dynasty.
Kou Ji had to admit that Zhao Zhen had completely transformed into a qualified emperor. He had learned to think about problems in the way of an emperor, and he also learned to rule his own territory with the emperor's method, and he also had some more what an emperor should have ruthless.
The lives of a group of officials were exchanged for the royal family's children to live in peace and stability, and the royal family did not lose.
The royal family can not only say no loss, but even make blood.
Because the royal family can not only use this to live steadily, but also allow officials to consume each other, thus avoiding the appearance of powerful officials.
But the royal family made a profit in this move, but Song did not make a profit, nor did the officials.
The more princes vying for the throne, the greater the loss to Song Dynasty.
Da Song is likely to die out in internal friction.
In addition, the inheritance of the throne cannot strictly control the age, and the long-lived Taishang may raise the emperor.
Perhaps Zhao Zhen felt that the golden age of an emperor was between 30 and 50 years old.
But Kou Ji knows that the golden age of a politician is between fifty and sixty.
Because politicians between the ages of 50 and 60 have honed their vision, methods, and experience to the pinnacle.
When governing, you can ensure that you can move freely.
Therefore, politicians between the ages of 50 and 60 are considered peak politicians.
Between the age of 60 and 70, perhaps the vision will become sharper, the methods will become better, and the experience will become richer.
But Kou Ji did not count him into the golden age of politicians.
Because between 60 and 70 years old, there are many defects.
Such as physical strength.
Hundreds of catties of memorials and comments every day cannot be carried by a person from 60 to 70 years old.
Such as desire.
People with great power have much higher desires than others. In order to achieve their desires, they can do many crazy things.
In addition, there are many defects such as diseases.
Therefore, Kou Ji does not think that sixty to seventy is the golden age for politicians.
It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji feels that Zhao Zhen's choice of age group is somewhat unreasonable.
But considering that nine out of ten emperors in the past dynasties are short-lived ghosts, Kou Ji can understand why Zhao Zhen chose the age group of 30 to 50.
But once Zhao Zhen implements what he called the term system, the emperor's lifespan may be prolonged.
If I retired at the age of 50 and focused on self-cultivation, it would make sense to live longer.
Maybe Da Song will give birth to his wife and emperor.
Whether it is the emperor's wife or the emperor, the emperor's authority has a great influence and restraint.
The second order is already terrifying, and if the third order is issued, then there will be a big mess.
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen subconsciously. Since Zhao Zhen is a mature emperor, he wouldn't fail to see this.
Zhao Zhen seemed to see Kou Ji's thoughts, and laughed in a low voice: "When one person speaks, he will definitely say the wrong thing, and two people can complement each other."
Kou Ji felt that Zhao Zhen was probably crazy. Not only did he want to add a term to the emperor, but he also planned to divide the imperial power
"Second Saint Lin Dynasty, it's not a good thing... There are living examples in the Tang Dynasty..."
Zhao Zhen bluntly said: "It's just a supervisor..."
Kou Ji wanted to laugh, "Lao Tzu supervises his son, does he dare to refute what Lao Tzu said? Don't forget that Da Song has filial piety."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and fell into deep thought.
Kou Ji said self-consciously: "It is understandable to add a term to the throne, but the time of the superior should not be controlled. Because it is useless to control it, you choose the means of assessment instead of competing according to age, so the superior Time cannot be limited.
Turning internal contradictions into external contradictions is beneficial to the royal family.
But it is not good for the people and officials.
If it is only unfavorable to Baiguan, there is nothing wrong with it.
Because those officials can be used, but they must be beaten frequently, otherwise they will lose their awe over time.
But the people are innocent.
You can't let the people suffer in order to solve the royal troubles.
Therefore, the princes should rely on their own abilities and should not involve the officials and the people.
Officials, just do your part.
If you dare to intervene in the throne battle, you just kill it.
As for the emperor's relatives and relatives, they should also be restrained. They must be strictly implemented after three generations.
The three generations should not be based on the three generations, but the three emperors.
Otherwise, one emperor in twenty years will give birth to a group of relatives and relatives of the emperor.
At that time, these relatives and relatives of the emperor could destroy the entire Song Dynasty.
The last is the influence of the Supreme Emperor on the Song Dynasty.
After retiring, I retired, and came down cleanly.
Just find a place to care for the elderly, don't think about jumping around.
It doesn't make much sense, and it has a big impact on Da Song.
Is it nice to let your children and grandchildren bear the name of a puppet emperor
Although after the implementation of this system, the emperor's age is likely to be around 30 to 50 years old, and the ups and downs will not exceed ten years.
Not the most ideal age.
But when people get old and stay in the center of power for a long time, they will always be good at all kinds of tricks.
Shrewd calculations have limited influence on the current Da Song.
Now that Da Song has become the overlord of the Four Seas, he should do everything in an upright manner.
There is no need to calculate again. "
Zhao Zhen nodded in thought, "I will consider it carefully when I go back."
Kou Ji nodded and said nothing.
Although he made up for several shortcomings out loud, he did not make up all the shortcomings.
But this is not important.
Because it is normal for defects.
As long as the emperor still exists, a relatively perfect government system cannot emerge.
Zhao Zhen put aside this topic and started to talk about another topic, "Nowadays Da Song is very short of money..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes.
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji with a smile.
Kou Ji murmured, "I'm afraid of you. Move the capital. Create another capital."
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji suspiciously.
Kou Ji said angrily: "It costs money to build another capital, but you will earn more. In addition to the palace, academies, government offices, and the residences of some important ministers, the rest of the capital can be built. Sell it out.
At that time, the price will be higher and you can make a lot of money.
Farms outside the capital can also be sold at high prices.
Don't those rich and powerful like hoarding land
Just sell it to them. "
Zhao Zhen pursed his mouth and hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid that people will not be happy."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "What's not happy? Where is the emperor, where is the center of Song Dynasty. They are not happy, so let them stay in the city of Bianjing to do business."
Anyway, Bianjing is known as Tokyo.
Da Song raised a large number of idle officials in Nanjing, and was only abolished before.
Now we are raising another batch in Bianjing City, and we just have to withdraw slowly afterwards.
You spend your own money to do a lot of work outside, and it is hard for the officials to say anything.
You stay in the new without leaving, they can still put the knife on your neck.
If they don't want to lose office, they will definitely move to Xindu. "
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Fourth brother seems to have been dissatisfied with the capital city of Bianjing?"
Kou Ji glared at Zhao Zhen, "Do you like being flooded every day?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head dumbfounded, "What do you think of Youzhou?"
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen in amazement, "Why do you think about setting the capital Youzhou? Luoyang, which is adjacent to Bianjing City, is not bad? If you want to move to Chang'an, it won't help."
Zhao Zhen laughed, "Because the land in Youzhou is cheap. I can take all the land in Youzhou with a little money."
Kou Ji felt that Zhao Zhen's heart was darkened.
"You are the Emperor of Song Dynasty, you have the final say."
Zhao Zhen nodded and chatted with Kou Ji with a smile.
When Zhao Zhen was about to leave, Kou Ji said: "I got some seeds from overseas. Qingguo is not suitable for planting. I can only plant them in Jiaozhi, Leizhou and other places."
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said, "There are a lot of barren fields in Leizhou and Jiaozhi. Please send someone to see which one you have selected and report it to the local government. I will give your reply."
Kou Ji nodded and said nothing else.
Zhao Zhen did not stay any more, leaving the greenhouse with a basket of fruits and vegetables.
After Zhao Zhen left, Liu Heng lay down beside Kou Ji again, and said unwillingly: "Why?"
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng in amazement, "What and why?"
Liu Heng grumbled, "You know."
Kou Ji curled his lips, "You brother offended me, should I beat you to death?"
Liu Heng opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Kou Ji said angrily: "There is one thing that must be planted. The nearest planting place is in Da Song. Unless I don't want that thing, I can only reconcile with him."
Liu Heng sat up and stared at Kou Ji, "Just for that one thing?"
Kou Ji shrugged his shoulders and said, "Otherwise? That thing is the key. Without it, we can only live in Xiyang and Qingguo for our entire lives.
With that thing, we can look at the world. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji also sat up and stared at Liu Heng and said, "You are also a big man now, don't always think about fighting in your nest.
We are being bullied all the time because there are too many people who like to fight in the nest.
Now that we have the strength and ability to look to the world, we should focus on the world.
Da Song is only a small part of the world.
There are more places in the world that the Song Dynasty has not touched.
He only owns Da Song, and what we have is the world.
From now on, Da Song still has the final say in his family.
But the world is ours.
As long as our children and grandchildren strive for success, we can make rules for the world in the future.
Da Song also had to abide by the rules we made.
Understand
What we have to do now is to save enough capital to conquer the world for our children and grandchildren.
Today, the wealth we have in our hands is not enough for our children and grandchildren to toss about. "
Liu Heng didn't understand Kou Ji's words, he said suspiciously: "Can we make rules for the world in the future? Let the world listen to us, including Da Song?"
The Emperor Song also had to bow his head to us? "
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "As long as our children and grandchildren are strong enough, it should be possible. After all, the richest family is Da Song. The richest family must be us.
We have a rich family background and a broad vision.
The pace of advancement must be faster than that of Song.
When we are large enough, Da Song naturally has to bow to us. "
When Liu Heng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "I don't care about anything else, I just want Zhao Zhen to bow his head to me."
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "That's difficult."
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "When we have that strength, we are probably all dead. The accumulation of thousands of years is not something we can catch up overnight."
To navigate the world is a grand idea.
The Yu Lie of Qin Fen VI dominated the world.
If Kou Ji wants to experience the world, I am afraid he will also be the sixth.
It may be one or two lives missing, but the premise is that each generation has to live long enough.
The number of lives has been reduced, but the specific number of years to be used cannot be changed.
Kou Ji can only be a pioneer.
Of course, if he could live to be more than a hundred years old, he might be able to create a rule for the world.
Kou Ji felt that he might not survive that time.
Liu Heng felt confident that he could live two hundred years old.
Kou Ji didn't bother to pay attention to his idiot.
Everyone felt that Kou Ji had been treated unfairly in the Song Dynasty, and that he deserved revenge and showed his glory.
Kou Ji also felt at the beginning that he was a traverser, so miserable, and humiliating the traverser's style.
But Kou Ji thought about it later, and felt that it was just a momentary struggle of sentiment, and it was of no benefit to the nation, to the homeland, to no benefit, and to himself.
If he is shocked and swallows the world, the first thing he needs to do is to slaughter Kou.
Because Kou Zhun is never allowed to do this as long as he is alive.
Don't look at Kou Zhun forcing the Song Emperor to go to the battlefield, I thought Kou Zhun didn't have much respect for the Song Emperor.
On the contrary, he was the most supportive of the Song Emperor.
Therefore, Kou Ji wanted to rebel against Da Song and had to kill Kou Zhun first.
Second, the daughter-in-law must be killed.
You have to kill the son-in-law.
Need to kill Zhang Zhibai.
You have to kill Li Di.
Got to kill Cai Qi.
You have to kill the king.
…
There are too many people to kill. There are those closest to him and those he respects most.
After capturing Jiangshan, he had to watch Di Qing commit suicide.
Because Di Qing, who believes in loyalty, will be fully loyal after he is fully righteous.
Have to look at Xiang Yan and end in depression.
Because once Kou Ji rebelled, Xiangjiayimen would inevitably be beheaded.
Still have to watch Kou Hui die in depression.
Because he must kill Zhao Run.
Kou Ji made a careful calculation. After he succeeded in the rebellion, only Liu Heng and Kou Tianci could stand beside him and share the fruits of victory with him.
The fruits of victory are not sweet.
The Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty is now all equipped with firearms.
Kou Ji must use a more powerful firearm if he wants to win the Great Song.
After a big battle is fought, Da Song will be beaten into a sieve.
After Kou Ji won the Song Dynasty, he had to rebuild the Song Dynasty, and I am afraid that he might not have that spare capacity.
Because it was far more difficult to fight Da Song than to fight Liao, he would have to spend decades.
Kou Ji himself is not greedy for that position.
There is no reason to fight Da Song to the end in one breath.
With that mental strength, it is better to bring Liu Heng, Di Qing, and perhaps Zhang Yuan, to invade other places together, and to carve up other places in the world together.
Together, we will create a better future for our children and grandchildren.
Hundreds of years later, when the descendants of China mentioned Zhao Zhen, they might call him an eternal emperor with admiration.
But when he mentioned Kou Ji, he would definitely call him the greatest person in the most respected tone without hesitation.
There is a bright future on one side, and a cruel future on the other.
How to choose.
clear and distinct.
Kou Ji has his own mind and plan, so he will not be influenced by anyone, nor will he ruin everything he is running because of anger.
After Zhao Zhen left, Kou Ji and Liu Heng continued to work in the greenhouse.
At the same time, people were sent to Leizhou, Jiaozhi and other places to find suitable wasteland.
However, the people sent out have not yet left the sunrise pier.
He appeared in front of Kou Ji again.
He didn't show up alone, he brought someone with him.
The person brought by him, after entering the greenhouse, walked quickly in front of Kou Ji and bowed to salute.
"Master..."
Kou Ji looked at the weather-beaten face in front of him, and sighed long, "Why are you? We are no longer masters and servants.
You and I are now the masters of the same country, so we should sit on an equal footing. "
Zhang Yuan straightened up and stared at Kou Ji with a smile: "I can have today, you gave it to me."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, and pointed to the side of his reclining chair, and asked someone to bring in a seat, inviting Zhang Yuan, "Sit down and talk."
Zhang Yuan was not polite and sat in the seat.
Kou Ji stared at Zhang Yuan and asked curiously: "You're not in Xitianzhu to be your country's master, what do you come to do with me? But what troubles have you encountered?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "What can I have trouble with? Gegewu, Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, and the Seljuks are now almost out of mind with the Roman Empire and the remnants of Baghdad that had previously occupied it.
I didn't participate, I just hid aside and watched the excitement, waiting for both of them to send generous gifts to win me.
Life is more comfortable. "
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully, "The wall-rider is not easy to do, and it is easy to be destroyed by the other two parties."
Zhang Yuan said frankly: "I and Cao of Dong Tianzhu used to form an alliance, and the number of people in my hand is not a lot of people. They dare not trouble me for the time being.
Unless they compete for a winner, they won't move me for the time being.
But I don’t think it’s so easy to compete for the winner among them. "
Kou Ji looked at Zhang Yuan suspiciously: "Zhu Neng and the others are at a disadvantage?"
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "The Roman Empire is not weak."
The Roman Empire in Zhang Yuankou was the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire.
An empire with a long heritage will naturally not be weak.
Kou Ji commented: "Zhu Neng and the others are still too impatient. They don't have much background, and they dare to fight with an empire that has been passed down for many years. It is reasonable to be at a disadvantage."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "They thought that with the help of the Seljuks, they would be able to gallop on the west. But they were inferior to the Roman Empire.
Our caravan in Xitianzhu has reached the end of the west, and I know everything about the Roman Empire.
So far, the only ones who can destroy the Roman Empire are Da Song and... You. "
Kou Ji was taken aback and laughed: "Why do you think I have the ability to destroy the Roman Empire?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "If you take the lead, we will certainly follow. I dare not say that there are more than 400,000 elites. 400,000 elites can still be collected. With the help of firearms, the fighting power that 400,000 elites can exert is definitely not small.
More importantly, if you are in the army, we will not be messed up, and we will not have ghosts. "
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Let Zhu Neng play with the Romans first. I am not interested in the Romans for the time being. You haven't said why you came to Qing Nation this time?"
Zhang Yuan chuckled: "I heard that you were unconscious, so I rushed over to take a look."
Kou Ji said with emotion: "You traveled all the way to Qing Nation just to see me?"
Zhang Yuan nodded.
Kou Ji sighed.
He felt that he had passed through a fake Da Song.
The evildoers are all alive and righteous, but virtuous people don't care about love and righteousness.
Kou Ji stared at Zhang Yuan and joked: "Are you here to mourn me? By the way, want to share the benefits I left behind?"
Zhang Yuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Kou Ji's words.
"I used to be yours, and I don’t understand your temperament. If you are willing to give me benefits, I don’t say you will give me benefits. If you are not willing to give me benefits, I will kneel on the ground and knock my head. If it’s broken, you won’t give me any benefit."
Kou Ji waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, I'm making a joke with you, and you take it seriously. Since you came here in person, then I don't need to send someone to find you.
Your subordinates should have told you that they have collected all the seeds for me.
Some seeds are not suitable for planting in Qing Dynasty.
So I need you to bring them to Xitianzhu to cultivate them.
They must be taken care of carefully, they are all useful. "
Zhang Yuan said in amazement: "What's the big use?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "As long as you do what I say and collect, within ten years I will be able to get you on the boat. An iron boat, an iron boat large enough to hold a lot of people, an iron boat equipped with all firearms. "
Zhang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then opened his mouth in astonishment, "No wonder... No wonder you let us wait a few more years to develop our heritage... So you were prepared..."
Kou Ji laughed and said, "It's a pity that some people don't appreciate it."
Zhang Yuan followed with a smile and said: "Then there is no way, who can blind them. They have clearly seen you so many methods. But they still refuse to listen to you, which only means that their greed has blinded their minds.
A group of people blinded by greed is not worthy of cooperation, nor worthy of doing great things together.
Just like Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang.
They obviously have occupied a lot of territories, and those territories are enough for them to digest for many years, but they are still not satisfied.
I wanted to create an empire comparable to the Song Dynasty.
But the background is insufficient, and sooner or later it will collapse.
At first, I was an ally with them, but when I saw them greedy enough to lose my mind, I decisively drew a line with them. "
