Short history video: Inventory of the top ten emperors at the beginning!

The civil official group swelled up from the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor, knew from the time he became the emperor that it was too easy for a military general to want to be the emperor.

As long as his army is strong enough, it doesn't need to be the strongest, almost enough.

As long as he thinks about it, as long as he has the support of the vast majority of people, it is really not difficult to be the emperor.

Much simpler than winning a tough battle.

Realizing the horror of generals, after Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, he suppressed the group of military officers intentionally or unintentionally.

The most famous is the release of military power with a glass of wine.

After that, both Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi began to lift up the civil servants, both overtly and secretly.

As for generals, they have always been suspected.

When it comes to Song Renzong, Song Renzong can say that his love for civil officials is better than life.

But the paranoid Song Renzong really took precautions against the military officer to the extreme.

It can be said that Song Renzong believed that generals were his biggest threat.

Such an emperor, who was deeply suspicious of generals for various reasons, could not be afraid when Zhang Wei said that civil servants have brought disaster to the country.

He lifted the civil servants up step by step, to a terrifying level.

"Hang, where to hang.

"Oh, am I so confused?"

"No, no, military generals will harm the country and pose a greater threat than civil servants. Civil servants are more important, and can be controlled with pen and paper, but military generals, how can they be controlled?"

"It's just out of control."

Song Renzong Zhao Zhen went back and forth, talking to himself.

It is right to say for a while that I am emphasizing civility and suppressing martial arts.

For a while, he said that he might be planting the root of disaster for himself.

Anyway, there is no fixed attitude.

"Give me the announcement of Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu."

Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu came soon.

Looking at the sharp representative of the young gentry that he single-handedly selected, Song Renzong felt a little more at ease.

"I chose you, yes, it must be right."

Just as Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu came in, he heard Song Renzong say this and looked at each other, all inexplicable.

"Your majesty, what is this?"

"You guys, come here, I have something to ask you."

Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu are all human beings.

Although they didn't know what Zhao Zhen wanted to say, they keenly discovered that today's summoning was absolutely extraordinary.

"Your Majesty, tell me."

"I ask you, general, is it important?"

Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi met each other again, but they didn't express their opinions in a hurry.

The question of whether generals should be reused or marginalized has always been a taboo in court.

Who doesn't know that the Zhao family was born as a general?
Who doesn't know that the most annoying thing about the Zhao family these years is that the generals have power, and the most feared thing is that the generals will get merit.

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't wait for words on this matter."

"Yes, your majesty, your majesty has his own plan for this matter, we as courtiers, just listen to it."

Squinting his eyes and looking at these two young talents, Zhao Zhen became more and more angry.

"You are presumptuous!"

"Who told you to learn from those old scholars!"

"If that's the case, what use do I need you for?"

"Say!"

Judging from Zhao Zhen's meaning, if Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu are clumsy today, they would not say anything.

Both of them would probably have to be chopped off.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister said, can he avoid death?"

"Your majesty, minister, ask the same question."

Looking at Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Zhen nodded meaningfully.

"It seems that you really have an idea?"

Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu looked at each other again, and there was a hint of death in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, if your minister Han Qi speaks, will he be saved from death?"

"Your Majesty, if my minister Ouyang Xiu said so, would he be spared death?"
