Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 105 Advice
Good wine and good food, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu had a good chat, while Sun Yue honestly held a jug and served like a waiter. Although he didn't dare to interrupt, he could listen to such a high-level Dialogue is also beneficial to him.

After chatting for a while about the big and small things that happened in the court hall in the past two days, Zhao Kuangyin finally got to the point and said: "Now, I have taken back most of the military power of the Forbidden Army. Since then, the world has collapsed, and there have been more than forty people who have proclaimed themselves emperors and kings for decades. I have often read history books recently, and it seems that since the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there has never been such a chaotic situation. Among these kings, there are many talented people. People, but this world is still difficult to calm down, so what can I do?"

Zhao Pu heard this and said: "When I returned to my official home, I thought that the reason why the world was stable before the Mid-Tang Dynasty was because the Tang Dynasty established the country with a strong army in Guanzhong, which was more important internally than externally. Light, if we, the Great Song Dynasty, want to carry on the past and open up the future, we must recruit the best soldiers from all over the world into the ban, and return to the situation of light inside, outside, and inside, which is called strong trunk and weak branch."

After speaking, Zhao Pu talked about his famous method of strong stems and weak branches one by one. Zhao Kuangyin nodded as he listened, obviously it was very suitable for him.

Suddenly, Sun Yue heard the four-character mantra, and accidentally shook her hand, and spilled the wine outside.

"The official atones for his sins, and the master atones for his sins."

As he said that, Sun Yue quickly wiped away the wine spilled on the table with his sleeve, but his heart was already full of turmoil.

Strong stems and weak branches, this is the national policy of the Song Dynasty for 270 years. I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to listen in. I couldn't help the excitement in my heart and my hands shook.

Zhao Kuangyin squinted at him, and suddenly said, "Boy, what do you think?"

Sun Yue hurriedly said: "This is a major issue for the country. How can a lower official speak for it? The lower official is ignorant and his speech is nonsense. It's really not worth listening to by the officials and the master."

Zhao Pu said, "It's up to you to say it or not, and it's up to us to listen or not. It is said that stones from other mountains can attack jade. You are always smart. If you really have something to think about, it may not be useless. Just say it and listen to it. Yes, why, do you think Master will resent you for stealing my limelight?"

"The disciple dare not."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and said: "If you have enlightenment, even if you say it, what Zhao Pu said just now is very close to my heart. Do you have a different opinion?"

"This..." Sun Yue glanced at Zhao Pu and then at Zhao Kuangyin. He knew very well that this was definitely not an occasion for him to speak.

But he also knows how important this conversation is. If his words can really have a little effect, it will not only affect the contemporary era, but the 300-year national destiny of the Song Dynasty and even the thousand-year history of the entire Chinese civilization.

It is better to change from the root than Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others will change and change a hundred years later.

So be patient, be patient, finally, Sun Yue couldn't help it anymore, bowed down and said: "The official's atonement, the master's atonement, what the master said just now, I absolutely agree with it, but I have some supplementary words, It’s really hard to vomit.”

"Oh? What supplementary words, come and listen?"

"I believe that if we follow what Master said, our country of Song Dynasty can indeed be stable and long-lasting, and we can avoid internal rebellions for at least a hundred years, and we don't need to worry about attacks from outside. If the officials implement this strategy, they will ensure that the country will be safe for a hundred years. , to end the chaos in the world since the end of Tang Dynasty."

Zhao Pu stroked his beard and smiled: "Just tell me your opinion, can I still use you to flatter me? Is there any but after?"

Sun Yue chuckled, and could only say: "It is true."

Zhao Kuangyin said with interest: "Let's listen."

"Your minister thinks that if this method is adopted, with strong stems and weak branches, and internal and external control, stability is certainly stable, and there will indeed be no problems within 100 years. There is no strong vassal protection, once foreign enemies come to Fan, the number of forbidden troops can only be continuously expanded to deal with it. Over time, it will become a dilemma of redundant troops. The more you set up, the less and less you have seen. The separation of powers and duties in the court seems not a big problem now, but it will become a situation of redundant officials in a hundred years. If it is simply strong and weak branches, once the nutrition of the tree trunk If you can’t keep up, it’s a situation where the trees fall and the monkeys scatter, so I dare to ask the officials whether the officials want to become a king for a hundred years, or want to create peace for eternity.”

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu looked at each other, and they saw surprise in each other's eyes for a moment. If these words were said from the mouth of a senior minister, they would not take it seriously, but from the mouth of such a child , then it can be called a great three words.

This requires not only intelligence, but also vision. A person who can see clearly the direction of the next three years is already a talent. A person who can see clearly for ten years is a pillar of the country. Now, this little doll has opened its mouth for 30 years, why didn't it surprise them both?
Of course, he and Zhao Pu have been thinking about this issue of national policy for two years, many things, can't they really see the problem?Of course not, they just selectively ignored it.

Choosing to seize military power, restrict Qiangu, and recruit its elite soldiers will fundamentally suppress the spirit of the country and the nation, and in the end it will go from bad to worse until it dies. When the trunk of a tree exhausts all the nutrients in the land, whoever can't use three axes and two axes, the big tree will collapse, but what if you choose to be strong?
If you use your courtiers and vassals with confidence to make the country stronger and bigger, won't it repeat the mistakes of the Jin and Tang Dynasties?Isn't the death of the Jin and Tang Dynasties ugly, and the people not miserable?

In the eyes of the two of them, it is just a choice. Human beings have developed to the present, and no matter how much they sing praises, they have to admit that all dynasties in the world will die sooner or later. Death, why not choose a way to die with a safe home and no civil strife?

More importantly, in the past few decades of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the change of dynasties is really scary. To be honest, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't even have confidence in himself for 20 years, so why talk about a hundred years?

"It's not easy to see so far. What you said makes sense, but compared to a hundred years later, I value the peace and stability of these ten or twenty years more. In other words, what do you have that can take care of you?" In front of you, can you take into account the hundred-year-old method of both safety?"

When they said this, both Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu laughed. When the two of them thought about it, this Sun Yue was a hot-mouthed scholar. Although this is already very remarkable, for the country, the real important thing is not to find the problem The eyes are the brain that solves the problem. Zhao Pu's method can solve the century-old disease of the Song Dynasty, and the root cause of the five dynasties and ten dynasties can be cured with one medicine. Can you still have the thousand-year-old disease of the Song Dynasty? The prescription didn't work?
But Sun Yue said quite firmly: "I think, yes."
