In the afternoon, Zhao Xu sat in the Dragon Case in the Imperial Study room, slowly looked through the deeds of his previous emperors. However, after reading it, he found that many important events were all described in the Spring and Autumn style. For example, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin transformed into a yellow robe and forced the Later Zhou emperor Chai Zongxun to abdicate himself. For example, Song Taizu Zhao Guangyi took advantage of his elder brother, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, to poison the prince at that time, and occupied his elder brother's beloved concubine, etc. These destructive things were all described in one stroke, and they were very casually written. For example, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who fought for his life, was plagued by injuries and had nine years of Kaibao.

In 976 AD, Taizu fought against Liao, and his old illness relapsed. He then stopped the army and retreated to Bianliang. Later, his father Zhao Hongyin forced Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to abdicate the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi. Taizu refused and insisted on passing the throne to the crown prince. Then Zhao Kuangyin's father and brother began to bombard him every day in language, so that he could not get the cultivation he deserved. Finally, our great Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was finally drunk by his own brother on his deathbed. Then, there was no more. However, the historian and daily records said, "Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, when he fought against Liao, his old illness relapsed and died."

"Many of the words recorded in historical books are to protect the face of the officials, but will people not know about this? What will they think about this in the future? Do they say that successive emperors are really saints? If so, how did the many crickets left by the country before have been formed? What will the kings and ministers of later generations think? Since the historians have been established, since daily officials and clerks have been established around the emperor, why not record them truthfully? The right and wrong of emperors and ministers in the court have been commented by later generations, why do you have to make these false things about stealing bells?" Zhao Xu finished reading the records of the emperor's daily life of the previous emperors in his hand, and said to Cui Wenbo, the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace, Su Shi, the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion, and Su Che, the newly promoted Grand Secretary of the Jinshen Palace, and the six ministers of the six ministries.

"Your Majesty, the court did this to preserve the dignity of the late emperors and the court." Su Shi, a great minister of Wenyuan Pavilion, carefully reminded Zhao Xu of his mistake and said,

"Hahaha, my dear friends, don't be nervous. I just said it casually. The court and the emperor have their own majesty. I am still very clear about this. I will not go back to reveal the old background of those officials. Today I recruit you to come here, which is a matter to ask you about it. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been more than 140 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. However, in the years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there seems to have never been a festival for the establishment of the country. In this way, the people do not have so many national concepts, just like the national flag and national emblem. Since we now have the national flag and national emblem, all officials

The officers, generals and soldiers gradually all have a strong sense of belonging and honor. Now, under the subtle influence of the national flag and national emblem, most of our officials have gradually understood what they should do. And the people, when they see the officials of the court again, they no longer feel the same fear as when they see a cat. Instead, they gradually become respected by their parents. This is a good thing. Of course, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites in charge of these matters are here to praise them. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and make more contributions to the people and the court."

"I was originally Your Majesty, originally the people, and I was originally the Song Empire who went through fire and water without hesitation." Ouyang Shuliang, the Ministry of Personnel, and Zheng Junyan from the Ministry of Rites, listened to the emperor's praise in public, hurriedly bowed to Zhao Xu and expressed his sincerity.

"Don't just say, I don't listen to this, do my own work well, do it well, this is worthy of the black gauze on your head. If you can't do it well, then I can't say what will happen. If your officials do more in the future, their hearts are blurred, and they start to plunder the people's wealth and harm the people, don't you say more, I'll kneel down and wait for the knife to go to the court. Do I understand?"

"I will follow Your Majesty's golden and jade words and dare not forget each other until death."

In fact, these words are mainly used to scare them and beat them. He didn't know if any of these ministers would become greedy and hurt the country one day in the future. Therefore, Zhao Xu would just beat these senior officials in the court with great power.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Regarding this festival of founding, I think it's necessary. Our Song Dynasty is Taizu Taizong and the hard work of the late emperors, right? We must remember the hard work and efforts they have put into this country and our Song Dynasty Empire. You have seen portraits of the late emperors, you can remember them, and you can recognize them."

"Your Majesty is joking. How come I have never seen the portraits of the late emperors? How could I not remember their great achievements?" Ouyang Shuliang said.

"Is that? Can you all remember it?" Zhao Xu said jokingly.

"Can I remember it." Nonsense, at this time, who dares to say that he can't remember it? What he can't remember is just a rhythm of looking for shaving.

"You can remember it all, but can you guarantee that all officials can remember it, and all the people can remember it?"

"this……"

Looking at the confused officials of the court, Zhao Xu continued to stimulate them and said, "I am trying to give a stimulus, two hundred years later, in the eyes of the people and the officials at that time, you, Su Shi, are just a literary master and poet, and then there is nothing else. Who can remember your achievements? And you, Ouyang Shuliang, Liu Shihai, Zheng Junyan, Xu Liang, Xie Dongyi, and you, Zhou Tong. Let's talk about it, who do you know the second minister of the various ministries during Emperor Taizong's reign?

But those generals are different. The history books of people expand their territory will record a strong plot, such as: Zhong Shidao, the general of the Song Empire, and the 12th year of Yuanyou, and the Liao Kingdom established by the powerful enemy of the Khitans in the north of the Song Dynasty, and the imperial decree was granted the title of Zhongyong Bo. Look at them, at that time, the most historical records will be Liu Shihai. During the reign of the Song Empire, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Empire, served as the Minister of Revenue. Without you, you have nothing. If you have a longer time, no one will know who Liu Shihai is."
