Chapter 2241 Beyond imperial power
In this world, Zhao Zhen has almost everything, a loyal minister, a charming harem, a bloody descendant, endless wealth, and a huge empire, but no one can be secreted.
Zhao Zhen’s plans and plans were simply unable to come out, and this was the thing he was most depressed.
Now that Xiao Tali and Wang Yuyan were so straightforward, Zhao Zhen completely revealed the secrets buried in his heart. He had not passed by some in the Secret Pavilion, but what he said in the Secret Pavilion was just the tip of the iceberg.
The two women in front of him are very smart and are also the objects he can express with confidence. They will not have any impact on them, nor will they worry about missing the news.
"The family and the powerful seem to complement each other, but that was at the beginning of the country, but as time goes by, relying on the powerful family is like drinking poison to quench thirst!!
Land annexation in all dynasties cannot be stopped. That is because a large amount of land flows into the hands of officials and powerful people. Why did I lead the Song Dynasty to fight wildly?
Because I am worried that the land in the Song Dynasty was not enough for these people to plunder! But the servants still gave me hope for profit, so I led these powerful people to business, tempted them with factories, and exchanged them with a large amount of interests. What is the purpose of letting them retract their claws extending to the land!"
Zhao Zhen was a little dry, Wang Yuyan on the side gently placed the tea cup on the ground, while Xiao Tali, the former Khitan queen, knelt beside Zhao Zhen, listened to him, something she had never thought of or considered.
When the Khitan was still struggling with the existence of the national cauldron, the Song Dynasty had already begun to summarize and plan to avoid the risks of previous dynasties, and the gap was even more obvious in comparison.
As the former Khitan queen, Xiao Tali knew more about the family and the powerful than the queen Wang Yuyan, but she still didn't believe that Zhao Zhen could give rise to the reasons for the change of dynasties in previous dynasties with just a few words.
"The official family, land is no longer the most valuable thing in the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, the powerful are all reaching out to the merchants. Why do the official family still attack them?"
This is what Xiao Tali didn't understand the most. Of course, she did not mean to protect the powerful and powerful Song Dynasty. To be honest, there is no relationship between the powerful and powerful Song Dynasty and her Khitan imperial concubine. She just asked if she didn't understand.
Of course, Zhao Zhen knew what she thought. This woman just wanted to know urgently why she did this: "Are you addicted to being an emperor? The nature of the rise and fall of the country has nothing to do with you, a woman, but from now on, put away your curiosity and I have explained everything I should explain clearly. Don't guess my intentions anymore."
"I know!" Xiao Tali looked at Wang Yuyan secretly and nodded immediately.
"The powerful gave up land annexation, but they had money in their hands. The value of the land was not as good as the value generated by opening a factory in the Song Dynasty. This is well-known, so they gave up land, but they did not give up their interests!
What is the imperial power attached to? Interest! In the final analysis, imperial power is something attached to interests. Because imperial power can bring benefits to the powerful, the powerful support the imperial power. But once there is a conflict between the imperial power and the powerful, the powerful will have to fight with the imperial power. Such struggles are the reasons for the decline of all dynasties, and ultimately all of this is a conflict between interests.
What the emperor really needs is not anything else, but the support of the best interests. These people are not the powerful, but the people, the most ordinary people!”
Zhao Zhen's theory was shocking. Wang Yuyan and Xiao Tali opened their mouths slightly and looked at Zhao Zhen in amazement. They didn't understand why they had always been together with the emperor and the literati, so why did they become together with the people when they arrived at the official family!
Zhao Zhen naturally saw their appearance and sighed helplessly: "The Song Dynasty is different now. The biggest change is not in terms of economy, but in the people!
Although the people of our Song Dynasty are not studying, many of them are literate. Why is this? Because literate people can find a good job in the factory!
More and more people are literate, the literary style of the Song Dynasty is open, and the tide of thought is coming, and people's ideas are different from the original ones. Why should I strengthen national laws? The purpose is to deal with the upcoming crisis.
The existence of the powerful is against the people. No matter how good they do, a conflict of interests will inevitably break out. What the Song Dynasty needs is not the powerful, but the people!
You may not have seen that the country's wealth is not created by the powerful but also the people! That's why I am dependent on the people, and the interests of the family are the same as those of the people!"
Zhao Zhen was already very clear about his words. Xiao Tali was silent for a while and said, "What the official means is that the status of the people will surpass that of the powerful?"
Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head: "The old powerful will disappear, and the new powerful will appear. I cannot change the current powerful and powerful, but I can only destroy them and cultivate new powerful. These powerful and powerful have lost the meaning of powerful and powerful in a sense. They evolved from court officials, and their role is to safeguard the interests of the people and the interests of the family!"
"Just like the ministers of each ministries and the ministers of the prime minister?"
Wang Yuyan's interruption made Zhao Zhen nod: "Yes, they are new powerful people, powerful people who safeguard the interests of me and the people, and public servants of the Song Dynasty. If they do not do well, I can dismiss them at any time. If the emperor cannot dismiss them, then the national law and the people will dismiss them!"
Zhao Zhen’s first half of the sentence Xiao Tali and Wang Yuyan understood, but the second half made the two of them tremble suddenly. The national law and the people removed officials, which was to exercise the power of the emperor!
Seeing their horrifying appearance, Zhao Zhen smiled: "What? Are you scared? This is what I want to do, so that the country and law can surpass the imperial power and become the place that dominates the operation of the dynasty!"
Zhao Zhen wanted to make the constitution higher than everything else. This is the key to maintaining normal operation of a country and an important factor in breaking the cycle of dynasties in history.
