Chapter 5: Create Boundless Slaughter, Establish a Happy Land for the Han People
"Are you asking me to lure Shi Miyuan into the palace and then have the guards take care of him?" Zhao Yun frowned and said
The artistic style that Zhao Hao arranged for Zhao Ling'er is one that embodies the queen-like demeanor of figures such as Wanquan and Yaoyue, characterized by sufficient strength, pride, and ruthless methods.
"Nonsense, you are only ten years old," Zhao Yun scolded, waving his large sleeves.
Yes, that's right, Zhao Hao is being cute
"Your Excellency, I will go and see off Hao'er and Ling'er," Xie Daoqing also stood up and said
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Father, that would make it too easy for the news to leak out. Moreover, as you mentioned, there has never been a precedent of an emperor executing his ministers. If this matter were to spread, it would have a negative impact on you."
The imperial system of the Song Dynasty was truly peculiar. The distinction between ruler and subject was blurred. At times, the emperor even had to gauge the sentiments of the civil officials to navigate his daily affairs
In this world, it can continue to turn without anyone. There is no need to worry about the scene of chaos in the court after the death of Shi Miyuan.
"Father, Ling'er and I have not wasted these years. As of today, dealing with ordinary people is no longer a challenge for us." Zhao Hao pointed to himself and then to Zhao Ling'er.
Zhao Haochong glanced at Xie Daoqing and then said, "Father, Ling'er and I have almost finished eating, so we will head down first"
Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han must be laughing in their graves
Zhao Yun nodded slightly, as he was certainly aware of this point as well
Because Zhao Ling'er is only ten years old after all
Xie Daoqing also brightened up, a hint of a satisfied smile appearing at the corners of his mouth
Especially Jia Sidao, this individual is even more ruthless and unscrupulous as a treacherous minister compared to Shi Miyuan
Zhao Hao will not remain in this world forever, but before his departure, he will certainly do his utmost to fulfill the responsibilities expected of him as the Prince of the Song family
"Your Highness (the term used by princes and princesses of the Song Dynasty to refer to their biological mothers), my elder brother's martial arts skills surpass mine by a considerable margin." Zhao Hao remained silent, while Zhao Ling'er spoke up first.
Zhao Hao was too lazy to bicker with the civil officials; the Mongolian cavalry's southward advance was imminent.
The reign of Emperor Lizong was marked not only by the presence of the powerful minister Shi Miyuan.
However, Zhao Ling'er is not blindly confident; with Zhao Hao around, how could Zhao Ling'er grow into a fool like Guo Fu
Zhao Hao will not be polite to anything that stands in his way
At this moment, Zhao Ling'er, being in the age of youthful recklessness, is indeed fearless like a young calf that does not fear a tiger
"Stop shaking, I really have no way to deal with you. Alright, I promise you, you and Ling'er go back and make the necessary preparations" Xie Daoqing said helplessly
The entire Song Dynasty is about to collapse; what use is there for the system
I know that the Empress must have a way. Zhao Hao took Xie Daoqing's hand, shaking it gently, shaking it gently
Zhao Yun's judgment in selecting personnel is indeed not commendable when it comes to Zhao Hao. In the later period of Emperor Lizong's reign, the governance of the court successively fell into the hands of treacherous ministers such as Ding Daqian and Jia Sidao, leading to a rapid decline in the national power
In any case, one cannot die, so what is there to fear? Many people share this sentiment, which is why, despite Shi Miyuan's considerable power, he is not without his opponents
"Ambition is not determined by age. Besides, Father, do not underestimate me and my elder brother. Well, seeing is believing; Father, you should see clearly now." Zhao Ling'er picked up a silver chopstick and, with a single hand, exerted force, causing the silver chopstick to break into two pieces in the astonished expression of Zhao Yun.
If it were with both hands, Zhao Yun would not be so shocked, but Zhao Ling'er is using only one hand
What do you actually mean? Zhao Yun asked
Zhao Yun's face flashed with a look of entanglement and hesitation, and he said, "This matter is of great importance; let me think it over again, think it over again."
Zhao Hao's words are actually modest; he and Zhao Ling'er are not only capable of dealing with ordinary people effortlessly, but even the average imperial guards are no match for him and Zhao Ling'er
Upon arriving outside the hall, Xie Daoqing smiled lightly and said, "Hao'er, do you want me to persuade your father to change his mind again?"
How is it, Father? Someone like Shi Miyuan can be dealt with by me and my elder brother with just one hand. Unfortunately, if I had perfected my Soul Control Technique, I could directly control him.
Since Zhao Hao has become the son of Zhao Yun and the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty, he has the responsibility to preserve the last trace of the bloodline for Huaxia
Seeing their children succeed brings parents greater joy than their own achievements
That is fundamentally impossible
"My lady, I love you." Zhao Ling'er exclaimed, filled with joy.
Even if Zhao Hao does not kill them, after the Mongols unify the world, they will still die, or even suffer a fate worse than death
A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhao Hao's eyes, but he still reminded, "Father, if you have decided to take action against Shi Miyuan, you must be well-prepared in advance. Once you have killed Shi Miyuan, you should immediately move to dismiss Shi and his accomplices. Although treachery prevails in today's world, there are still many people with a heart of unwavering loyalty."
However, the performance of the ten-year-old Zhao Ling'er still astonished Zhao Yun.
It must be said that Zhao Hao and Zhao Ling'er both possess extraordinary talent in martial arts, which has left the high-ranking masters from the imperial court who teach them in awe.
Zhao Hao's words are not without purpose
Xie Daoqing nodded slightly and said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, Hao'er and Ling'er also have a sincere filial heart and wish to share your burdens. Shi Miyuan is already quite old and may not even be my match. With Hao'er and Ling'er here, it is certainly foolproof."
What is it to share governance with the gentry? Let them go to hell
As Zhao Yun stated, the factional struggles of the Song Dynasty did not endanger lives. Thus, it fostered a fearless character in many individuals
In recent years, although Shi Miyuan held absolute power, the impeachment memorials against him have never ceased.
By this alone, Zhao Yun is far inferior to him
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Your Highness, the court has always been too lenient towards the officials, which has made them fearless. It is time to make them understand fear; otherwise, even without Shi Miyuan, there will still be other treacherous ministers emerging."
Is this also called an emperor
She is Zhao Hao's mother, and naturally, she understands him far better than the average person
In Zhao Hao's view, this is all a result of indulgence
Xie Daoqing nodded and said, "I will persuade your father, but you know his temperament; he is indecisive. Getting him to make a firm decision is not an easy task."
It is merely murder
"Hao'er, can you also perform the movements that Ling'er just did?" Xie Daoqing inquired
I am willing to commit boundless slaughter to establish a paradise for the Han people
"Is this Ling'er’s martial arts?" Zhao Yun exclaimed in shock
To kill is to save
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Yes, you may go down and rest first"
The overall atmosphere of the Song Dynasty emphasized civil over military matters, and Zhao Yun himself held a deep-seated disdain for martial prowess.
Zhao Ling'er brightened at Zhao Hao's words and clapped her hands, saying: "Great, great! Father, let's do as my elder brother suggested and deal with that old scoundrel Shi Miyuan."
He knew that Zhao Ling'er and Zhao Hao were studying martial arts, but he never took it seriously.
Do not say that Shi Miyuan has died; even if Zhao Yun were to suddenly pass away, the Song Dynasty could still function normally.
