Just like Su Yonglin's impression of Tang Si Tui, Tang Si Tui had a straight and peaceful appearance, a good appearance, a Chinese character face, and a long beard that made him not angry and self-assured. He had a standard official appearance, which subtly revealed the ancient Chinese officialdom of judging people by appearance. The rules are clearly reflected.
Even Su Yonglin wouldn't have any bad feeling when he first saw Tang Situi.
Even in modern times, if Tang Si is relegated to a group of middle-aged and elderly women, dancing in the square, twisting her waist, and talking flirtatiously, she will be a real master killer and can make other old square dancers angry to death.
So it is said that people should not be judged by their appearance.
Su Yonglin maliciously speculated on Tang Situi's modern retirement life.
"Xianggong Tang, I have heard of his famous name for a long time, but have never seen him. It is a pity. It is a blessing to see him today and he got what he wanted."
Su Yonglin smiled at each other and spoke in a gentle tone.
Tang Situi abided by the etiquette and did not exceed it in the slightest.
"Your Majesty, thank you very much. The foreign minister is just a mediocre person. Thanks to my Emperor, Your Majesty, I have never given up on you and died in a high position. I often feel that I have failed to fulfill my trust and feel uneasy."
This was a standard official cliché. Regarding Su Yonglin's polite compliment, he couldn't really say that about himself. The two parties exchanged polite greetings, adjusted their conversational positions, and then started talking about business.
So Su Yonglin didn't take it seriously, smiled, and asked him to sit down and talk to him at close range.
After sitting down, Tang Situi took a breath, and then he realized that the young and somewhat outrageous person opposite him was really the Emperor of the Ming Empire.
Although there were rumors before that His Majesty Su Yonglin, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was very young, only after seeing him did I feel that this statement was true.
Even though he deliberately grew a beard to make himself look less young, the face of a handsome nobleman can still make people see his actual age. Even if this continues, people will misjudge, even if he is already three years old. Although he is forty years old, some people still regard him as a young man.
Is this really a face that the person who destroyed the great Jin Kingdom can have?
At this moment, Tang Side suddenly felt that he could understand why he did not want to be the emperor, but only the human emperor.
Is he the man from heaven who came down from heaven to deal with the Kingdom of Jin?
Otherwise it makes no sense at all.
Such a person can overthrow the powerful Jin Kingdom and lead the 400,000 powerful Liberation Army... Now it's time to call the Ming Army. How could it be possible without divine help?
Thinking this, Tang Sidei put away all his little thoughts and used all his caution to prepare for Su Yonglin's questions.
"The Southern Dynasty sent Mr. Tang to see me, which shows that the Southern Dynasty attaches great importance to our country, the Ming Dynasty. I feel this intention, but I have some doubts. I wonder if Mr. Tang can answer it for me?"
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"At the beginning, I proposed to the Southern Dynasty that Kaifeng could be returned to the Southern Dynasty. It just required some hard work and expenses. Why did the Southern Dynasty refuse? Kaifeng is the old capital of the Southern Dynasty. Does the Southern Dynasty really have no desire to return to the old capital?"
Su Yonglin looked at the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty seriously.
Tang Situi's mind was spinning a thousand times. He carefully thought about what Su Yonglin meant and felt that Su Yonglin's words were very meaningful.
It seems that he is asking why the Song Dynasty does not want to open the seal, but in fact, it is a disguised way of judging whether the Song Dynasty really wants to live in peace with the Ming Dynasty.
Tang Sidui saw through the true meaning of Su Yonglin's question and quickly thought of a watertight answer.
"The Song Dynasty naturally wanted to return to its old capital. At that time, many courtiers also supported the return of the Song Dynasty. But soon, the courtiers discovered some problems."
"what is the problem?"
"Returning to the old capital does not mean just going back. Your Majesty must also know how involved the matter of moving the capital is."
Su Yonglin nodded.
"Moving the capital is a big matter and affects the overall situation. It affects the whole body, so we must pay attention to it."
"That's right, so I, the emperor and my ministers, have thought about it again and again. I feel that there are big problems in moving the capital back to Kaifeng. It is not only the issue of some people supporting and others opposing it, but also how to govern after the return and how to deal with the dilapidated old capital after the return. How much will it cost to repair, etc.”
Tang Situi smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest with you, your Majesty, our dynasty has always been famous for its wealth, but this wealth is only for outsiders to see, and financial difficulties are only for our own people. We cannot make ends meet, and we have to work hard to make ends meet. In many places, taxes are levied." Shaoxing for forty years.
Once the capital is moved, Kaifeng needs to be repaired, the Yellow River needs to be repaired, the people of Henan need to be appeased, and the army needs to be relocated and increased. The government's financial expenditure will not be enough, and taxes will be collected. When the time comes, the people will be in dire straits, and the trouble will be mine. Your Majesty, What do you think? "
Tang Sidui complained bitterly to Su Yonglin. Su Yonglin touched it for a while and smiled bitterly.
"It's a pity that the Southern Dynasty did not want Kaifeng, but they left this big trouble to me. I also want to renovate Kaifeng, and manage the Yellow River. I also want to appease the people, and I also want to garrison troops. Why, you have to face these problems, and I will Don’t face it?”
"Your Majesty has pacified the Central Plains and destroyed the Jin Kingdom in three years. His military achievements are outstanding. He is truly a man from heaven. Foreign ministers really can't think of any other problems that can make it difficult for Your Majesty."
Tang Sihui put on a flattering smile.
Good guy, no wonder he was able to become the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was so proficient in the art of speaking. He wore one top hat after another, and Su Yonglin couldn't even put it on his three heads.
"Everyone says that I am like a god. I am the only one who knows that starting a business is difficult, but keeping it is even harder."
Su Yonglin walked down from his seat and sat next to Tang Sidei. He complained to him like a nagging person, and returned three times the bitterness he vomited to Tang Sidei. Tang Sidei was stunned for a moment.
How else can we say that Su Yonglin can create an empire and become the emperor, but he can only be the prime minister?
Su Yonglin also has a stronger ability to complain.
Tang Situi felt like he was facing a once airtight wall, and he had no idea what was behind the wall.
But he felt that his meaning should have been conveyed to Su Yonglin, and Su Yonglin's meaning had also been conveyed to him——
Neither of them had any intention of interfering with or causing friction with the other party.
Both parties want to live honestly and do not want to cause friction. As long as they live in peace, everything will be fine.
After several rounds of confrontation, this core idea was conveyed in place.
Then Su Yonglin and Tang Sidui discussed some non-nutritious topics, such as Zhao Gou's hobbies, what Zhao Gou usually likes to do, etc., and gradually brought the topic to Zhao Gou.
Tang Sidui was not shy about this, so Su Yonglin learned that Zhao Gou, like his father, was actually an artist. He was proficient in poetry and music, good at calligraphy and painting, and his interest had always been in pen and ink. He was a quite The emperor was diligent in learning calligraphy.
In this regard, Su Yonglin couldn't compare with him.
What is fairness and justice?
What is Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu?
What's so awesome about Huang Tingjian and Mi Fu's calligraphy?
What are the subtleties of ink painting?
What are the skills in using a broken pen?
He knows nothing.
If he discussed these issues face to face with Zhao Gou, he would be despised by Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou loves art. Even when he was chased by the Jin army in the early days of his southern journey and had no way to go to heaven or earth, he would not forget to practice calligraphy, often practicing until his wrists were sore.
He loves the art of calligraphy and painting. He collects and protects the calligraphy and painting of famous people at all costs, and does not forget to take them with him when he escapes. He cares more about these things than his own woman.
Su Yonglin sighed very much.
Why does the old Zhao family want to be emperor?
In modern times, the old Zhao family is definitely at the top of the entertainment industry by virtue of their artistic accomplishments, and their traffic every minute is beyond the reach of others.
But they happened to become emperors in this era of great strife.
Time? Fate?
Su Yonglin really doesn't know.
