Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Poor people just have to have children.

In the Song Dynasty, there were several important components of society: the royal family, bureaucrats, scholars, and the poor.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was unable to expand abroad, with decades of peace, unprecedented population growth, and unprecedented expansion of bureaucratic groups.

As for the position of emperor, the power he possesses has also reached the highest level in history.

Because all the local aristocratic families have been killed, the taxation and people in the world have directly become the emperor's, and there will no longer be the phenomenon of tyrants since the Eastern Han Dynasty enclosing the people in their own territories.

The bureaucrats work for the emperor and check and balance each other.

From the perspective of system and social structure, the imperial power of the Song Dynasty was highly concentrated in history.

In the stagnant environment of external expansion, the expansion of imperial power and bureaucracy, as well as the prosperity of society, have brought about corruption, pleasure, and drunkenness in the internal society.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was also a dynasty formed by China's "official standard", and people were proud of being an official.

People only know that what Cheng Yi said, "starving to death is a small matter, but infidelity is a major matter" refers to women, but they don't know that Cheng Yi also said: "There is no marriage ceremony for doctors and above. When mortals are husband and wife, how can one die first?" , One person remarries, one person remarries? It’s only about lifelong couples.”

What does this mean?

It means that both the king and the scholar-officials can only marry one, and they must restrain themselves and return to the courtesy, and don't be greedy for pleasure.

Cheng Yi wanted to use his own ideas to restrain the growing class of kings and scholar-bureaucrats, not the poor class.

It is under this special environment that this idea was put forward.

His main core is a check and balance on the upper power.

Is this thought good?

OK!

Checks and balances on public power are definitely good.

But the problem is that Confucian scholars always hope to use morality to check and balance human behavior.

This developed into the Ming Dynasty, when Confucianism became extreme, and scholar-bureaucrats directly used morality as a weapon.

What is said in the mouth is full of business in the heart.

Is Zhao Chen stupid?

not stupid!

He is just an axis.

The ideas of Xinxue are more open. Zhao Ning has pointed out in Xinxue that the check and balance of bureaucratic corruption is the power of public opinion led by newspapers, which represents the people.

Of course, Zhao Ning did not deny the point of view of Neo-Confucianism. The Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, especially the Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty, was still very healthy.

Zhao Ning was a little annoyed that the prince only talked about morality, not about the checks and balances of the power system.

The check and balance of the power system is a conspiracy. As an emperor, one must understand the human heart and human nature.

Zhao Ning didn't see any bright spots in Zhao Chen.

Even Rou Jia is much smarter than Zhao Chen.

In many cases, education is one thing and nature is another.

It can be said that Zhao Ning did not pay attention to Zhao Chen's education.

"What about the new learning? The prince seems to have studied the new learning?"

"His Royal Highness naturally read the new school."

"Why do I ask him about his new learning, but he keeps telling me about Neo Confucianism?"

"After reading the new learning and memorizing it, you may not be able to comprehend it."

People are really different, some people like to eat apples, some people like to eat durians.

It's not that Zhao Chen can't comprehend it, it's that he prefers Neo-Confucianism and rejects new learning.

People's thoughts are also very different, just like the debate between Sang Hongyang and Confucian scholars. Sang Hongyang has been talking about using salt and iron to solve the treasury problem, while Confucian scholars have been talking about moral issues.

Neither side can convince the other.

Zhao Ning pondered for a moment, and then said: "In the future, you will explain the new learning to the prince."

"Yes."

"I know you have worked very hard. You have to teach the prince and the new officials."

"I'm just trying my best."

"Stand back, sir."

"My minister retire."

As soon as Luo Congyan left, a letter from Luo Jing was handed to Zhao Ning.

It was actually written by Wang Shoude, the magistrate of Henan Province, and it was related to the prince. He hoped that His Majesty would allow the prince to participate in government affairs on the grounds that the country has a lot of affairs in recent days and has a long way to go.

What level of official is the magistrate of Henan Prefecture?

The center of Henan Prefecture is Luoyang, Xijing. Henan Prefecture is only a little lower than Kaifeng Prefecture. The prefect of Henan Prefecture is equivalent to a minister, a deputy ministerial official.

In theory, he is at the same level as Li Chunyou, the minister of the Ministry of officials, but he is not as powerful as Li Chunyou.

If it were the previous emperor of the Song Dynasty, he would not have said anything, after all, the Song Dynasty spoke freely, and would even praise Wang Shoude for direct advice.

But now, Zhao Ning smelled some conspiracy.

Two incidents against the court just happened, and two ministers were injured.

One was done by students of Songyang Academy, and the other happened in Luoyang.

Now the officials in Luoyang have gone to the memorial to talk about the training of the prince.

What is this for?

This is to form a princeling?

Do you want to start with the prince and play a roundabout tactic with me?

"Go, pass Gao Qiu."

Gao Qiu had just finished his lunch, and was going to Nancheng to talk to Widow Wang about his life during his lunch break. As soon as he stepped out with his left foot, he received a call from Zhao Guan's family.

Dog days!And let no one have a private life!

Lao Tzu is getting old, and there is not much time to be happy. This emperor will summon him if he has nothing to do, and summon him if he has nothing to do!

I'm so bored!

The servant who sent the message said: "Gao Taiwei, Your Majesty is waiting impatiently."

A smile bloomed on Gao Qiu's face: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Gao Qiu went to Wende Hall again.

"Wang Shoude, the magistrate of Henan Province, how is this man?"

Gao Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said: "This person is well-known in Luojing, he has given lectures at Songyang Academy many times, and he is considered to be a figure of the Luojingqing School."

"Check it out for me."

"Yes."

"Go back."

When Gao Qiu heard that it was over so quickly, he immediately ran to the south of the city: Sister Wang, I'm here!

At this time, Zhao Ning, who was in Wende Hall, took Wang Shoude's letter and agreed to his request: let the prince participate in politics!

Chapter 423 Jin Kingdom's Show Operation (Part [-])

Early morning on July 24th.

The Zhao official family sat on it to listen to the government, and the officials had disputes about the implementation of banknotes in Northwest and Hebei.

Zhao Ning did not intervene, the general direction of this matter has been set, and it is impossible to change it.

The point of dispute is nothing more than a problem with the coordination of the various yamen.

The debate over the payment of banknotes has not yet ended, and the personnel transfer of the Northwest military and political rectification has generated controversy again.

The Privy Council, the Military and Political Council, and the Eastern Mansion all had disputes among themselves.

From armaments to the transfer of military and political personnel, to the establishment of the Chang'an Lecture Hall, to the support of various civil affairs for the military and government, they all competed with each other.

In the end, Zhao Ning interrupted the controversy among the crowd, and he said: "These details, you can go down and talk about it separately, and the chief executives can make up their minds."

The crowd quieted down.

Zong Ze, who had just returned to Beijing from the Daming Mansion, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter?"

"In recent months, there have been rumors in the north that Jin Guo is implementing a new policy." Zong Ze said.

As soon as he said this, the ministers of the court began to discuss in private.

Zhao Ding said: "Silence!"

Everyone immediately returned to silence.

Zong Ze continued: "There are also rumors that the Kingdom of Jin implemented the New Deal because my Great Song Dynasty implemented the New Deal. The Jin people were afraid of my Great Song's New Deal, so they also implemented the New Deal."

Zhao Ning asked: "What new policy did the Jin people implement?"

Zong Ze replied: "It is rumored that the Jin people are implementing the same new agricultural policy as our dynasty in Shangjing."

As soon as he said this, Chaotang immediately exploded.

We all know that the new agricultural policy currently implemented by Song Dynasty is extremely controversial, and the opposition even labeled it a disaster for the country and the people.

In particular, the promotion of the new agricultural policy has recently increased, which has aroused numerous voices of opposition.

No one expected that the Jin people also imitated the Song Dynasty and implemented the new agricultural policy!

What does this mean?

This shows that even the gold people have recognized it, which shows that this new deal can really enrich the country and strengthen the army.

Li Chunyou, the number one brawler in the court, jumped out immediately, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter can't be done for real."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty also said that seeing is believing, and hearing is not." Li Chunyou said, "Without any evidence, such an important matter cannot be guessed out of thin air."

Zong Ze said: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to inquire about it. Jin Guo's new policy started from Zhending, and there was even a report from the Jin Guo Mansion as evidence."

After speaking, Zongze took out a folded residence newspaper from his cuff.

"This is the residence report that the person who sneaked into Zhending took back from Zhending. It has the seal of the golden man on it. Please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

Wang Huaiji presented the residence newspaper to Zhao Guan's family, and Zhao Guan's family opened it and read it.

Good guy, it's really a New Deal notification.

It is not difficult to obtain such a mansion report, just go to the city wall to get it at night when no one is looking.

It was issued a month and a half ago.

Li Chunyou continued: "This can also be faked."

Zong Ze said, "Should Li Shilang go to Zhending to have a look?"

"There are golden soldiers there, how could I go?" Li Chunyou curled his lips, looking dismissive.

Li Chunyou: I have no evidence, but I can say that you are fake.

Zong Ze said: "Many people in the Zhending area already know about it, and it's not a secret anymore. Li Shilang only needs to send someone to find out."

"maybe……"

Li Chunyou still wanted to fight, but was suddenly interrupted by a high-pitched voice, and saw Mo Chou coming out, suddenly knelt down, and loudly shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ning said: "Why do you like it?"

"Even the people of Jin have started to implement the New Deal, which shows that His Majesty's New Deal is an eternal benevolent policy that has benefited the world."

Sure enough, Mo Chou, the dog licker and leader of the atmosphere group, can always create atmosphere at critical moments.

Mo Chou continued to say excitedly: "This shows that as long as the New Deal is pushed aside, we will definitely be able to defeat the Kingdom of Jin!"
