Zhao Bing knew that this god was usually human at first, and of course the gods worshipped in different places were different. Take Lu Shen Zi Tongjun for example. He helped Emperor Xuanzong of Tang enter Shu safely during the Anshi Rebellion, so he was named the guardian god on the Shu road. After entering the Song Dynasty, it was said that he helped the Song army to quell Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun Rebellion. People in Shaanxi often worshipped Zi Tongjun's throne at home. After it spread, it was added with the emperor's imperial enthronement and became more and more gods, and from a small god in the place it became a nationwide god respected by everyone.

The Song Dynasty's water god Tianfei was said to be the daughter of a general of the Min Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. He was able to cross the sea through the sea and predicted the misfortunes of people. He was called the Dragon Girl after the Song Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, he was named Lady Linghui and Concubine Linghui. In addition, there was a dragon king who shared his belief, but the dragons were different in size. However, the current Song Dynasty's water army worshipped the "Six Kings". Legend has it that it is a real dragon in the sky, which can protect the safety of people and boats on the water.

Zhao Bing knew that these six kings were actually him. He was regarded as gods in Guangzhou because he predicted a storm and told the people to avoid leisure in time. He was also a real dragon son and a grandson, and built temples to sacrifice. However, at that time he was still on the way to escape from the pursuit of the Yuan Dynasty. He called the Six Kings. After that, he spread rumors and was even more unaware of his true face. Now he has succeeded to the throne and become the "true dragon emperor", which has confirmed this matter, but it is not daring to speak nonsense.

However, most of the old men in the Qiongzhou naval army knew the truth, and then the little emperor led them to defeat the Yuan army in the sea. There were few accidents in the wind and water. In addition, there were many rumors in the army that the little emperor could predict good and misfortune and know the future. They had long regarded Zhao Bing as a god, but they just wanted to avoid taboos and pretended not to know. However, they would worship the "Six Kings" before going to sea to fight or patrol the sea, and in fact they were worshiping the "true God".

Zhao Bing was not easy to ban this habit in the navy, after all, sometimes faith can affect people's emotions and morale in the army. In modern times, even in a developed country like the United States, there are still institutions like priests in the army; there are churches built in the Soviet naval base for soldiers to pray; let alone those countries that are not the same as those in the country. However, the worship of the six kings spread, especially in the southeast coastal areas. It is said that the Mongols and Yuan naval navy went to sea before, but they did not know that they had worshipped the wrong god.

Of course, Zhao Bing could not worship himself, but it was a bit funny to see Zheng Yong leading a group of people to respectfully hold out a beautifully smiling fat doll sitting, and then put on various tributes to bring everyone to salute. At the same time, the Sheji roared three cannons in the air. After worshiping the water god, Xie Fangde and Han Zhen had already set up a large tent on the dock, leading the civil and military officials in the city to bid farewell to him, wishing His Majesty and the Right Prime Minister a good journey. According to the saying that the farewell ceremony usually holds a banquet at dawn and leaves at dawn, and sets off at dawn, and also writes a farewell to farewell. But everyone knows that the little emperor is most annoying to recite poems and escorts, and he is unwilling to make it boring. After drinking and saying goodbye, he will play music and send His Majesty onto the boat.

Amid the sound of the mountain, Zhao Bing boarded the imperial boat accompanied by Wen Tianxiang. He looked back and saw that the lights were brightly lit on the city and the soldiers stood full of soldiers. He saluted the imperial boats together. He also stood at the sight of the military salutes and waved goodbye to the people who were seeing off the dock. At this moment, all the troops had boarded the ship, and the vanguard fleet lined up in the river offshore, and the Sheji also raised the sails with the command, slowly left the dock and entered the river, and entered the formation. He waited for the crowd who could not see clearly before returning to the cabin...

"Official family, General Zheng has sent all the sacrifices. The little one has already made the kitchen hot!" Zhao Bing changed into loose clothes after returning to the cabin. When he came out, Wang De pointed to the dinner table and said with a smile.

"Okay, you guys will also accompany me to use some. How can you eat so much?" Zhao Bing greeted Su Lan and said.

"Official family, why do you have to send it to the water god every time the water army sacrifices to the water god?" Su Lan sat down for serving the little emperor, and also moved an embroidered pole to sit down and asked strangely.

"Of course I'll eat it!" Zhao Bing picked up the chopsticks and said, "I picked up a piece of meat and said."

"Oh, but shouldn't the sacrifices be shared with everyone? This is clearly not touched." Su Lan said in confusion. Of course, she knew that the gods would not come to eat them, and in the end it was enjoyed by people. As long as His Majesty was on the boat, the navy would send the tributes intact after each sacrifice. She had never understood the particularity.

"Of course, the tribute must be eaten first by the worshipped gods first, and the rest can be shared!" Zhao Bing replied with a smile.

"But these six kings are so strange. No matter how they eat, they are the same as the ones that the officials like, there are also dried fish!" Su Lan murmured with a frown.

"Oh, Miss Su has always been very smart, why are she confused today?" Wang De, who was beside her, suddenly sighed.

"This... these six kings are the officials, right?" Su Lan hesitated for a moment, and still said in surprise without knowing whether she was sure.

"Haha, why can't it be me?" Zhao Bing asked back with a laugh.

"Ah?! The six kings are really official, don't they know?" Su Lan looked up and down at the little emperor as if she didn't know him.

"I'll say stupid things again. If they don't know, can they send all the things to the official family? They're just pretending to be confused!" Wang De smiled and pointed Su Lan with his fingers.

"So that's the case. No wonder I saw that the statue of God was somewhat similar to the official family." Su Lan nodded embarrassedly, remembering that when he met the little emperor, he was a little fat man, and he often used dried fish as snacks.

"It's good to be worshipped by others. When I can't become the emperor one day, I can find a place to cross my legs and eat it!" Zhao Bing took a dried fish and put it in his mouth and chewed it and laughed. However, the dried fish he ate at this time was no longer the salty and hard thing he often ate back then, but a small fish with thick fat but cannot be named. This dried fish is very delicious whether it is fried or baked directly on the fire, and has become his snack.

"What are the words of the officials? The young people still have to serve the officials for the rest of their lives." Wang De said with a smile. In recent days, the young emperor seemed to have something to worry about. He often sat alone in a daze and said some inexplicable words, but today he said such unlucky words really made him feel uneasy...

Since the Yangtze River entered a dry season, the water in the upper reaches was less and the spring flood did not come, the large ship was easily stranded. In addition, this time, he carried two land combat brigades of the navy, which could only reduce the carrying of the baggage. Now the military situation is not as urgent as the time of the past. Therefore, in order to ensure safety and replenish supplies, Zhao Bing ordered boats to be sailed during the day and moored at night to increase the frequency of replenish supplies to reduce possible accidents.

However, Wang De found that the little emperor's mood had not improved, and he still looked depressed. In the past, when the little emperor was on the boat, he liked to walk around the boat or go fishing when he had nothing to do. However, he had not left the cabin for several consecutive days. When he stopped the boat in Jiangzhou, he just summoned Sun Kai to board the boat to meet him alone, but did not go ashore. This made him a little worried. He asked the imperial physician to see him but only said that His Majesty had been overworking recently and would be able to rest for a while. He could only serve him carefully, tell the little yellow sects how long his eyes were, and he would never have any accidents when he stared at His Majesty.

"Official family, Wen Xiang asks for a meeting!"

"Well, let him go to the study!" Zhao Bing had just had breakfast that day, and Xiaohuangmen came in to report, and he thought about it.

After changing clothes, Zhao Bing came out of the cabin to the small study. In fact, he had not been idle these days, thinking that after returning to Beijing, he would discuss the country's status. "National Is" was a common term in the politics of the Song Dynasty, which was roughly equivalent to the major plans and guidelines of a certain period mentioned today. Just like modern times, once a country is established, it will generally not be easily changed in the short term. Until the next round of the country is determined, it is still different from the family rules of the ancestors.

The family law of the ancestors is actually the basic route that runs through the country; while the national is the policy of a specific period. Since different emperors and different periods can have different countries, that is, different central tasks and political ecology. The implementation of basic national policies also varies from time to time, from person to person, that is, from emperor to emperor. Now that Jiangnan has been recovered, the policies formulated during Qiongzhou are naturally no longer applicable, and adjustments and changes are needed.

However, in the memorial sent by Zhao Bing recently, he found that some people wanted to discuss the country's problems, rather than putting their minds on the country. Although they may not succeed, they could not help but arouse his vigilance. It is precisely because of this that he felt that the fickleness and sinisterness of human nature, the ugliness and cruelty of politics made his just relaxed mood heavier, thinking about how he would face the upcoming storm.

"Your Majesty, I have recently heard that someone in the court opposed my return to the court. If you are willing to guard the western border for Your Majesty, you will be fine if you return to Qiongzhou!" After the two of them exchanged a few greetings, Wen Tianxiang suddenly said.

"Haha, Wen Xiang is still very well-informed." Zhao Bing felt a lot better when he saw Wen Tianxiang's angry look, and smiled, "I have also received a memorial saying that Wen Xiang is talented and has both civil and military skills. The situation in Western Xinjiang is dangerous and requires important officials in the country to guard him. I recommend you to stay in Jinghu."

"Oh, they have actually written to His Majesty, they are really impatient. What does Your Majesty think?" Wen Tianxiang smiled bitterly after hearing this.

"Wen Xiang is already on the boat, is it necessary to ask me?" Zhao Bing looked at Wen Tianxiang's eyes and said with a chuckling.

"I am confused!" Wen Tianxiang was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Why did Your Majesty think they should stop me from returning to the capital?"

"It's very simple. Wen Xiang blocked some people's way. Of course they don't want you to return to the court." At this time, a small yellow gate brought tea, and Zhao Bing took a sip.

"Stealing the way?" Wen Tianxiang was a little surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself, "I asked to go to Jiannankai Mansion back then, but later I asked to return to the court several times, but I was rejected again and again. Could it be that they wanted to use the same trick again!"

"Yes, some people in the court want to be powerful officials to take charge of the court's principles, but this time it will be much more sinister." Zhao Bing nodded and said bluntly.

"Haha, it's not that easy to be a powerful minister!" Wen Tianxiang sneered and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and has already presided over government affairs. But those little ones have such thoughts, which is no different from a moth to a fire!"

"No, I am worried about this matter now. You must know that since Emperor Xiaozong, Han Tuozhou, Shi Miyuan, Jia Sidao, Chen Yizhong and others have been dictatorial, controlled the government, and even manipulated the emperor to decree. Do you have good advice to deal with it?" Zhao Bing sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. As long as you govern the government fairly and do not listen to it in a biased manner, they will find it difficult to succeed..." Wen Tianxiang waved his hand and told the little emperor.

Wen Tianxiang studied a lot, and the top scholar was not in vain. He didn't speak as implicitly as his masters, which made him less careful in thinking and understanding. He started with several "unjust cases" that had been widely affected by this dynasty, and he also found that there were actually many unjust cases in the Song Dynasty. During Renzong, there were Fan Zhongyan's Yuezheng's case; during Shenzong, there were Su Dongpo's Wutai poems; during Zhezong and Huizong, there were Yuanyou party members with more than 120 people including Sima Guang; during Gaozong, there were Yue Fei's false guilt cases; during Ningzong, there were Zhao Ruyu, Zhu Xi and other 59 people including pseudo-learning and rebellion; during Lizong, there were Zhao Xun, the case of King Ji who was delayed for fifty years and not rehabilitated.

These unjust cases are widely implicated and are well-known in Chinese history. The formation of these unjust cases is indispensable to the emperor, which also subverts some of Zhao Bing's previous views. He heard in his previous life how the Song Dynasty treated scholars or literati groups well. Once the emperor showed signs of abuse of power and arbitrary, he would immediately be protested and boycotted by the civil servant group."

However, Fan Zhongyan's out-of-the-job speech was included in the picture of all officials. The prime minister Lu Yijian, who was just impeached, was convicted and demoted from the capital. Yu Jing, Yin Zhu, and Ouyang Xiu were dissatisfied and were still dismissed because of the "out-of-the-job speech". Not only that, these intellectual elites were also regarded as fickles by the monarchs and prime ministers of the dynasty, which was why Ouyang Xiu's "On the Fraternity".

The "false" unjust case that constitutes Yue Fei's "false" unjust case, although there are factors that powerful ministers take power, they cannot exclude Gaozong Zhao Gou's consideration of whether his throne is stable or not. If Yue Shaofei truly recovers Bian Jing and welcomes the two emperors Hui and Qin back, how could Zhao Gou deal with it? Even modern times, some people still claim that the Song Dynasty had a unique "legislative democracy" mechanism in Chinese history, that is, in the trial of a specific litigation case, the Song Dynasty had established an independent trial system, and external forces (including the emperor's will) could be supervised, impeached, but could not interfere with the trial.
