The reason why Zhao Gou caused a storm to study was to consider the court officials as the most direct factor, and another potential purpose was that he hoped that the eyes of the court and the people could move away from Zhao Yuan and Zhao Guan.

They were still too young. Although some of Zhao Song's crown princes were young, Zhao Yuan was the eldest son of the empress, and it was natural to inherit the throne. But he still wanted everyone to lose interest in the case of the crown prince.

After the New Year, I studied for the change of palace school to cool down this matter. At the same time, a few people who were a little happy would also receive re-education. Then the Xing and Pan families understood one thing - if they were fooled, they would also make all the civil and military officials in the court understand this truth.

After this bucket of cold water topping, they would even think of a question: Why did the emperor have such time to tease them? What does this mean?

Really, whoever dares to keep the word "Crown Prince" in his mouth after this is the case, Zhao Goujing is a man!

Although he couldn't say how long he could suppress the "Prince" storm.

He only has two sons. Even if he is young, as long as there is no new offspring, these two little guys are destined to be the focus of thousands of people. It is difficult not to make people guess the Sacred Heart. After guessing, they will stand in line, and once they step on the team, they will inevitably divide their camps and start to confront each other.

This is what he least wants to see.

Because such consequences can only lead to a group of talented people being defeated and eliminated from the next "big era". Just like the ones who followed the eighth brothers to the position, there were few who would have a good ending.

By deciding on this, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Guan also suffered a great loss after the winner of Zhao Yuan and Zhao Guan took office. This is completely unnecessary, right?

...

The New Year is here, and the entire city of Bianjing is buried in the snow.

The snow was particularly heavy, and the autumn grain had already been stored. There were 10,000 people around Bianliang City, and there were countless producers in it. Food was always the concern of those in power. The result was that Zhao Gou kept transporting grain to Bianjing, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​moving the capital.

The heavy cost of the Zhao Song canal transportation is really terrifying.

Of course, the capital move has to be discussed for a long time, but the food in this city is conservatively estimated to be enough for the whole city's military, civilian, and gentry to use it for a year.

In today's Little Ice Age, the temperature in winter is cold and it is impossible to allocate rice and grain to Beijing on a large scale.

What the court could ensure was that before the canal transportation was frozen, enough grain and rice had been transported to the capital city. Otherwise, if there was a shortage of grain on the market, it would cause great trouble.

Moreover, every New Year's Eve world, a large number of refugees will rush to Bianliang from all directions. Some of the inside will be intercepted by the surrounding prefectures and counties, and they will not be allowed to take another step forward.

But there will always be a large number of "flying fish" that continue to swim towards Bianliang.

Kaifeng Prefecture sets up sheds in subordinate counties every year, and even outside Bianjing City, to take refugees and set up porridge shops to count the population. Even many people inside and outside Tokyo City want to beg for food for a living.

There is no way. The Northern Song Dynasty did not suppress land annexation. The land annexation near the suburbs of Beijing was the most serious in the country, and almost all were occupied by the powerful. Almost no nearby common people could have their own land. If they did not become tenants, they could only work in the city. The Song people hired workers in the complex. The prosperous capital had countless job opportunities because of the existence of countless high-ranking officials and royal relatives. Even if they were to do small work in the city, they seemed to be better than farming. Even if they had shortage of food in Tokyo, they were deserted and shelved outside the suburbs. How ridiculous?

But it is precisely this situation that makes ordinary families very weak in disaster resistance. It is not easy to live in the capital. The wages in Bianjing are very high, but the cost of living is also high. Not to mention that there is no overnight food for the family, people can’t save a lot of money all year round. When encountering bad weather like Blizzard or other reasons, it is very common for people to work without rice, no firewood to keep warm, and starvation and freezing.

In this case, there are naturally more people who commit crimes. Because there must be people who are unwilling to starve to death.

Now Zhao Gou asks people to build a shed and serve porridge, while trying to appease the people, while also trying to hold the initiative in his hands. It is better to make it safer near the capital.

Foreign refugees wanted to go to Beijing when they were suffering from disaster because they knew that there was porridge here. The emperor was much better than their parents and officials, and at least they were willing to give them a bite of food.

And before this time, it was time for the major royal merchants in the capital to show their presence. They donated generously, fearing that they would be weak and left alone.

In addition to the merchants directly controlled by Zhao Gou, the real imperial merchants are really happy to show their presence.

As long as you are willing to bleed, you can not only get praise from the court, keep a name on the monument, but also get blessings from the emperor - it is really a blessing. Isn’t it just a blessing to give the word “Fu” during the Chinese New Year? In addition, you can also be published in newspapers and publicized. It is extremely blessed to the positive image of individuals and business names. After all, the word “benevolence and righteousness” is much better than that of a brutal businessman.

Moreover, if enough donations have been accumulated, they can be directly "redeemed" to the civil servants, which is really not a loss.

Zhao Gou occasionally goes out of the palace for private visits. If you see it with your own eyes, can you feel at ease?

In previous years, the two soldiers of these refugees would become soldiers of the Song Dynasty in the blink of an eye. Because in this way, even if the refugees were to make trouble, they would not cause any big storm without a large number of soldiers as backbones.

The capital is calm and peaceful, and it is time for the New Year.

Then some of the chaos that broke out in the palace banquet soon spread throughout the city of Bianjing, becoming a fun that more than one million soldiers and civilians were talking about.

For example, in Jiying Palace, who had a drink with someone, who was in a state of destiny, cried, shouted, and fought. I don’t know if he was really drunk. Of course, there were also people who recited poems, essays and painted. Anyway, the Eight Immortals showed their magical powers across the sea, just to show their faces in front of him.

The scene in Jiying Hall was soon spread outside. Those big newspapers would not be published, but don’t forget the tabloids in Bianliang City.

Beijing tabloids are a newspaper that is freely distributed by the people and is an illegal publication. They are severely investigated and cracked down by the court, and they do not even have a formal name or even a publisher.

But it really has a market.

Because the people at the bottom, including many middle class who don’t have to worry about food and drink, are full of love for gossip in the upper class. Just like the celebrity scandals exposed by paparazzi in later generations and gossips from wealthy families, it makes countless groups feel uncomfortable eating melons.

But correspondingly, the stars and wealthy families hate paparazzi, and now the high-ranking officials and nobles of Zhao Song are so annoyed by the tabloids, but unfortunately they can't eliminate them at all.

Because the identity of the boss behind the latter is not simple either.

Tabooists do not have advertising sponsorship, so they make money by expanding sales. If they want to increase sales, the content of the leaks will attract attention. Each issuer has its own secret information channels, and there are a large number of paparazzi and even those who specifically ask eunuchs and palace maids to inquire about the secrets in the palace, called "internal detectives"; those who go to various departments in the central government to inquire about the appointment and removal of officials and the privacy of officials, this is called "provincial detectives"; each yamen is also scattered with "yamen detectives" who investigate the progress of the case...

Think deeper, this thing is even a "dagger" that some people secretly prepared.

Just like in the fourth year of Daguan (1110), the Tokyo tabloid created a shocking news.

A tabloid was faked by Song Huizong's tone and issued an edict denounced Cai Jing's crime of stolen the country and surrendering to the enemy. For a time, Bian Jing's paper was expensive and circulated very widely. The popularity was no less than any fake news that shocked all walks of life now. So Huizong came forward to clarify.

The "new things" in Jiying Palace can't hide the "eye and ears" of these people.
