Chapter 843: 843 The thorn in the flesh
Chapter 843843 A thorn in the flesh
The day after Zhao Ji walked out of the palace with Zhao Kai's opinions, the Dahua Empire began a new round of quarrels. This round of quarrels was about whether the future emperor of the Dahua Empire would be able to continue. of the Great China Empire.
This discussion made Zhao Ji deeply uncomfortable, but he was powerless: he actually knew that if no changes were made, it would be difficult for the Great China Empire to survive between Qin and Tang.
But if he didn't take care of his father's emotions, he, the prince, would probably not be able to reach the day when he could be in power.
Zhao Ji was still able to distinguish clearly what was more important. He finally decided to respect Zhao Kai's opinion and only make partial repairs instead of adopting a comprehensive pro-Tang policy.
His choice disappointed many ministers, who hoped that the prince could show a more mature and courageous side. But Prince Zhao Ji finally chose to side with his father and on the opposite side of the courtiers.
Things became complicated immediately. A few days later, a name that Zhao Kai never paid much attention to appeared in Zhao Kai's sight: his other son, Zhao Yu.
This prince, who usually has little performance and a not very good personality, and has no independent opinions except for being greedy for money and lust, turned into a gentle, elegant and handsome young man with extraordinary strategies overnight.
For a moment, Zhao Kai couldn't even tell whether his son was clumsy in the past or whether he was a talented actor now.
But before he could figure it out, Zhao Ning showed political wisdom beyond imagination: He called on the Great China Empire to correct its mentality, learn from the Tang Dynasty, and make the country rich and powerful!
What makes Zhao Ji even more afraid, and what makes Zhao Kai puzzled, is that with the support of Zhao Yu, some businessmen actually launched a vigorous "Tang Wu Movement" in the Dahua Empire.
Although the people who support Zhao Yu are still small fish and shrimps, once this kind of thing starts, it will only become more and more out of control.
Many people are praising the sagacity of the prince Zhao Yu, which makes Zhao Ji feel tremendous pressure. This is the first time he directly faces the challenge of his brother.
In this matter, Zhao Kai had to show a certain degree of enlightenment: he had to encourage a certain degree of healthy competition among his heirs. This was a necessary means to ensure that the successor to the throne had rich fighting experience.
But his temporary neutrality on this matter caused greater panic in Zhao Ji and gave Zhao Yu more time to expand his influence.
Different voices began to appear in the court of the Dahua Empire, but this in turn relieved Zhao Kai's pressure - as long as you experience this kind of thing once, you will fall in love with it. Zhao Kai is not immune to this. He likes the feeling of overlooking the internal fighting among courtiers and having control over everything.
So, he once again hesitated to suppress Zhao Yu. He decided to wait a little longer and let Zhao Yu help him distract the firepower of some courtiers.
Such selfish thoughts made Zhao Ji even more worried, and then the relatively healthy Crown Prince fell seriously ill.
It was only at this time that His Majesty Zhao Kai, the emperor of the Great China Empire, remembered that he was the prince. He personally visited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's condition and encouraged him.
After all, this prince is very much in line with Zhao Kai's wishes, and he has never planned to change the prince. He assured his son that as long as he did a good job, there would be no problems.
Subsequently, in order to appease the prince Zhao Ji, Zhao Kai summoned the prince Zhao Yu, who had been very active recently, and personally scolded the son who did not know how to advance or retreat, expressing the emperor's dissatisfaction.
However, this incident, which was originally a family matter of His Majesty the Emperor, suddenly aroused the courtiers' concerns about the changes in Dahua's policy towards the Tang Dynasty.
Promoted by thoughtful people, many ministers regarded the emperor's reprimanding of the prince Zhao Yu as the beginning of the Great China Empire's policy adjustment towards the Tang Dynasty.
So the courtiers who were enjoying the benefits, or who had truly seen the economic development and technological progress of the Great China Empire, began to write letters one after another, advising the Emperor to think twice before making any move.
At this time, Zhao Kai discovered that the prince Zhao Yu seemed to be inexplicably bound to the Great China Empire's policy towards the Tang Dynasty.
If he has a little trouble with Zhao Yu, the courtiers will think of the Tang national policy, which makes Zhao Kai very painful.
Because if Zhao Kai wants to live a good life in peace and quiet and stop the loud speakers in the court from making noise, then he can only exercise restraint in dealing with Zhao Yu.
Of course, the reaction in the court could not be concealed from Prince Zhao Ji. He was really scared this time: if he lost the support of the courtiers, how long could he sit on the throne as the prince?
The risk of relying solely on the trust of my father is relatively too high. If one thing goes wrong, his father will compromise, and he will become a useless person and will have no choice but to die.
In order to protect himself, Zhao Ji had to visit several ministers who supported him, and expressed some of his positions in private: Actually, as the prince, I also support having good relations with Tang... You have absolutely no You must support Zhao Yu, but the same goes for supporting me...
It's a pity that this time, the Dahua Empire's intelligence agency, which was dim-sighted and deafened, suddenly became brighter and clearer - after all, some people gave money, and some people really had no money to give.
On the second day after Zhao Ji met with his confidants, the loyal Dahua Empire intelligence agency submitted a report to Zhao Kai, detailing the process of Zhao Ji's rhetoric to His Majesty the Emperor.
At this moment, Zhao Kai was as disgusted as eating a fly. He was very disappointed in his two sons, but he could not find their replacements for a while. After all, the other sons are either too stupid or too young, and currently they are not worthy of being on the stage. However, only he knew that he really had some thoughts at this moment. Once these thoughts appeared, it would be difficult to erase them.
It is like a thorn stuck in the flesh, which will cause pain at a certain moment, making people feel uncomfortable all of a sudden.
…
Tang State is still developing at a high speed. It is laying more highways and building safer and more secure underground cable systems.
This set of things is simply no matter the cost. Countless goblins and orcs are sacrificing their lives and blood for this set of immortal causes of the Tang Empire.
It is no exaggeration at all. According to the official statistics of the Tang Empire: in one year, about 10,000 orcs died in the Tang Empire, and 110,000 goblins died on the land of Tang Dynasty.
So many people died just to make the Tang Empire's exaggeratedly efficient pipeline system connect the north to the south and the east to the west.
The entire project lays a large number of pipelines along highways and railways, so that most of the wires and future optical fiber and other facilities can be safely hidden underground.
In addition to these expensive underground pipelines, the Tang Empire also built a large number of power plants and water plants in every densely populated area such as towns and cities.
Every city is building a water supply and drainage system. At the same time, cities with a population of more than 50,000 must build hospitals and allocate medical teams of more than 20 people to serve.
Because of the existence of Datang Group, the supply of medicines in Tang State is definitely the most abundant in the world. Large quantities of drugs were produced and shipped to various cities, saving hundreds of lives.
This is a huge social welfare system that was unimaginable in the past. With the support of this system, the rapid development of the Tang State became unstoppable.
It is not surprising at all. The average life expectancy of people in Tang is increasing. Elderly people over sixty years old, who are no longer common in other countries, have become very common in Tang.
This is a very simple cause and effect. It would be a strange thing if the improvement of social welfare cannot make the average age increase.
But this does not mean that the demographic structure of the Tang State is changing, it is just a simple increase in population - the number of newborns in the Tang State has increased even more, to a frightening level.
Everyone feels that it is a lucky thing to live in a happy country like the Tang Empire, so they hope that their descendants can enjoy all this.
Compared to hospitals, the number of schools is truly astonishing. The Tang Empire built countless primary schools and middle schools, and set up various universities in densely populated areas.
There are more than ten colleges and universities directly supported by the royal family, and 90% of the world's scientists are serving the Tang Empire.
Most of the scientists received their education in the Tang Empire and were trained by various colleges and universities in the Tang Empire.
The remaining small part came from various countries because the Tang Empire could provide them with the experimental environment they wanted, the corresponding experimental data, and the ability to manufacture the experimental equipment they wanted.
Just like the lighthouse country that attracted talents from all over the world, it has the most generous living conditions, the most enviable welfare benefits, the most cutting-edge experimental team, the most efficient experimental base, and the most satisfactory experimental results. .
The most attractive thing is that here is the greatest mentor with rich experience and clear thinking. He is the guide for all scientific and technical personnel and the **** in their minds.
Yes, that’s right, the existence of Tang Mo is the biggest reason why these scientists flock to the Tang Kingdom and are willing to devote their lives to the Tang Kingdom.
You cannot find such a mentor anywhere else, who can point you in the way forward when you are confused and provide you with all the support you want when you are most helpless.
It is indeed all support. If you lack inspiration, Tang Mo will give you inspiration. If you lack funds, Tang Mo can give you almost unlimited funds.
If you encounter the problem that Tang's experimental equipment cannot meet your needs, then you will not find better substitutes in other corners of the world.
Similar sayings are circulating in many places: If you want to find a job, you can go anywhere; if you want to be an engineer, then go to Datang.
