Then he pursued the emperor's uncle Fu Wang Tingmei as the King of Qin and awarded the title of Emperor's brother Wei Wang Dezhao's Grand Tutor and Qi Wang Defang's Grand Guard.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyi's body had not yet entered the mountain mausoleum.

Some people say that Zhao Yuankan, no, it is a bit harsh to change his name to Zhao Heng. In fact, it is not, this is a manifestation of lack of confidence.

The reason why he was not confident was his growth environment. The eldest brother, and the elder brother raised by his mother, ended up like a second brother. He finally became a prince and did nothing. In the second year of his time in Kaifeng Prefecture, all seventeen counties under Kaifeng reported severe droughts and the people had no harvest.

Anyway, this is a good old man, he has a better son, the only emperor in Chinese history who can be called Ren.

So he rode down to take a look, and after seeing it, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he ordered tax exemption.

This is a manifestation of loving the people. With such a successor, the people of the Song Dynasty should be glad to be happy, but some people have reported it that the crown prince exaggerated the drought and won people's hearts.

When Zhao Kuangyi was furious when he heard this, he immediately sent someone to investigate. Zhao Heng was frightened in Kaifeng Mansion those days. Fortunately, one of the people who went down to investigate was an official named Wang Qinruo. After he came back, he said it was indeed serious and the tax reduction was not enough.

Zhao Heng escaped the disaster.

People who grow up in this environment either become crazy people like Yang Guang, or become cautious and timid. It is this kind of psychology that leads to the Chanyuan Alliance. Of course, the situation is different now. At that time, Bashu was in chaos and chaos, and the northwest wolf Li Jiqian grew up and seized Lingzhou. The general environment of the Song Dynasty was indeed too harsh.

So under this personality, Zhao Dezhao's brothers and Zhao Tingmei were immediately posthumously named. Not to mention that Zhao Dezhao's brothers died so much, would Zhao Tingmei really rebelled?

Let's fight a ghost.

This is an unfavorable person. Relieve the old grudges. Whoever is right or wrong in the past is right or wrong. That is my relationship with my two cousins ​​and uncles, and it has nothing to do with me. We have also posthumously awarded the title. My son and grandson have also been promoted. There is nothing to do with me.

If you use this excuse to object to me, it is your fault.

Then the inner palace maids were released.

In fact, there were very few eunuchs and palace maids in the palace at this time. There were at least 230 people at the time of Zhao Kuangyin, and at the time of Zhao Kuangyi, there were only 300 people.

To put it bluntly, some servants from large families may have exceeded this number.

He also posthumously awarded Xiao Pan as the queen. The beautiful Xiao Pan died early, which was also a pain in his heart.

With the appointment of Cao Bin as the Privy Councilor, Cao Bin was obedient. He had a great influence in the military and used it to stabilize the morale of the army. How did Li Weiqing continue to deal with Liu Shi and piss off Liu Shi to death? Zhao Heng could see clearly that he used Qian Ruoshui to replace Li Weiqing as the Privy Councilor, and continued to use Xiang Minzhong and his teacher Xia Houqiao as the Deputy Privy Councilor, and Zhou Ying as the Northern Envoy of Xuanhui Court. A new leadership team was set up, including Lu Duan of the Eastern Palace, Wang Huaji, Wen Zhongshu, Li Zhi. Li Han, Cao Bin of the Western Palace, Xiang Minzhong, Xia Houqiao, Qian Ruoshui and Zhou Ying.

But there are two more people...

In the second year, Lu Duan was seriously ill and appointed Zhang Qixian and Li Xian as prime ministers. Xiang Minzhong was the chief minister, and Yang Li and Song Xi served as deputy envoys of the Privy Councilor. Li Zhi, Xia Houqiao and Wen Zhongshu were dismissed from prime ministers as their official positions.

But there are two more people...

In the third year, Yang Li and Cao Bin died. Wang Xian was appointed as Privy Councilors, and there were still two people who did not move.

There are some reasons that make people understand...

The reward was given. Zhao Heng opened his eyes wide and looked at the outside world.

The outside world was not beautiful. Bashu once again gave him a blow.

There was Zhang Yong in Sichuan and Sichuan cavalry was set up. For a time, "Ban Qiang and Barbarians" came to the court to express their loyalty to the Song Dynasty. Everyone thought that Bashu was safe and had actually cancelled the neighboring households. In addition, Zhang Yong's internal governance and the heavy trauma caused by the two rebellions, most of the people in Bashu did not want to rebel again.

However, the internal harm is always greater than that of the external one.

Just like if Li Zicheng didn’t covet Chen Yuanyuan’s beauty, would he be invincible if the real Jurchens exceeded ten thousand?

Just like Zhao Gou did not kill Yue Fei, would the Southern Song Dynasty be so cowardly? If he took back the Central Plains, his strength would be even stronger. Can Kublai Khan successfully take over the Song Dynasty?

This incident was caused by internal conflicts.

The Song Dynasty military system had many contradictions, especially the recruitment system, which brought all soldiers together. The noble soldiers looked down on civilian militias, the capital soldiers looked down on foreign soldiers, the imperial soldiers looked down on rural soldiers, including Sichuan soldiers, and many low-level generals acted recklessly and detained, resulting in many conflicts in the army. In particular, the imperial soldiers stationed in Bashu could not return home, so they resented the turmoil of the people of Bashu and placed this hatred on the incorporated Bashu soldiers.

The commander of the Xichuan Metropolitan Commander Han Jingyou took his troops to Huaian. It was this contradiction that made Liu Shi, a soldier from Guangwu, unable to bear it. He led everyone to attack Han Jingyou. Han Jingyou climbed the wall and fled. Liu Shi plundered Huaian, and many rebellions and wars, resulting in not even a complete city wall. He also captured Hanzhou, Yongkang Army and Bazhou. Fortunately, Ma Zhijie and Shangguan Jie quickly sent troops to suppress them, so things did not get bigger.

This shows that there are many problems in the country.

Therefore, Sun He, Wang Ji, Ma Liang, Wang Yuxi, Tian Xi, and Zhang Qixian wrote a letter to "deepening reforms". "If you stick to the old rules and do your best, and be able to establish new laws, you will show your magic."

From the perspective of internal governance, when Zhao Kuangyi was in charge of the basic framework, there are still many disadvantages, especially in the past two years, Zhao Kuangyi was seriously ill and had no leader in the group of dragons. This is not auspicious. On the contrary, it is not auspicious at all, and the disadvantages are aggravated.

However, the steady factions such as Lu Duan, Li Zhi, Li Heng and others were very opposed, "The profit is not huge, and the law is not changed."

It’s okay if you don’t move, but there will be many problems immediately after you move.

So is it still? If this were the case, Li Feng would not become a "saint prime minister". He was the same as the later Lu Yijian and Yao Song of the Tang Dynasty. He was not the same as that of Lu Yijian, but fine-tuning. However, his reputation was better than Lu Yijian because he was not as domineering and bold as Lu Yijian.

However, this controversy did not cause turmoil in the court, and there are several reasons. First, the crisis is not as serious as the time of Emperor Shenzong of Xining. In addition, Song Jiu's various fine-tunings, the economic, people's livelihood and military situations are far better than another time and space.

Secondly, although Zhao Heng moved, he did not move completely like Wang Anshi.

The third reason is a big secret...

Everyone wrote a letter, but Zhao Heng had not decided.

But he began his first move.

Tax arrears from the people.

If you owe it, you have to ask for it, and the process of asking for it will be very tragic. The clerk comes over and beats the bones and sucks the marrow. If you don’t listen, you will immediately arrest it and put it in jail, beat it up, and let their family be destroyed.

Wang Qinruo wrote memorials on these situations and the amount of taxes owed in the world and handed them to Zhao Heng for more than 10 million yuan. This is a terrible number, equivalent to the total income of a country in the Tang Dynasty for half a year.

Zhao Heng was shocked and asked, "Don't the late emperor know?"

This thing is a bit difficult to answer, but it did not stump Wang Qinruo and slowly replied: "The late emperor knows that this is reserved specifically for His Majesty to show kindness to the people."

Zhao Heng was very happy and immediately issued an edict to take charge of the matter, exempting all the more than one million tax arrears and releasing thousands of detained poor people together.

But there is a problem. Liu Shi only exempted Jianghuai from tax arrears, which almost shocked the court. Why did Wang Qinruo exempt the tax arrears from the world and was safe? In history books, he was a treacherous minister. The main reason was to go against Kou Zhun, who was behind the Chanyuan Alliance. However, why did Liu E also reuse this treacherous minister? Didn’t Kou Zhun suppress his political enemies?

This is the secret.

Since ancient times, the economy has been open source and bread can be made bigger. The right is still the same right.

Song Jiu was still thinking about the system in Suzhou, but in the end he was still confused. Those who did it fairly had to admit that it was the Western democratic system, but its secret was not that the whole people participated in politics. That was the case. Those who had no houses hoped that the house price would drop to 100 yuan per square meter. Some houses hoped that the house would rise to 1 million yuan per square meter, while real estate developers hoped that the people would rise to 100 million yuan per square meter. As for the lives and death of the people, they would be in charge of real estate developers! That would be a mess.

So many countries fell into pits.

The real secret lies in an electoral system. Only if you promise well will you choose, but if you can't do it, you will lose the election immediately next time, which forces officials to do things carefully.

But the real secret of democracy has many disadvantages. To please voters and to restrict the parties, then you dare not do things or delay things. In order to attract votes, you even raise election funds and become the spokesperson of the powerful and interest groups. What is wrong with the participation of the whole people in politics?

Even this system with mixed pros and cons cannot be implemented now. First of all, the opposition from the elite group can be imagined how many reactions it will cause once it is implemented, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Secondly, the people are not yet conscious of their thoughts, nor do they have the necessary transportation conditions for elections, and they cannot guarantee the transparency of elections.

So I'm back on the same path.

Wang Qinruo and Song Jiu knew about it, but after entering the political arena, he did not believe in historical reviews. It was written by the literati and must have stood from the perspective of the literati. Therefore, Wang Qinruo developed naturally and did not interfere with his growth path.

After hearing the news about Wang Qinruo in Suzhou this time, Song Jiu began to reflect, why?

Could it be that Kou Zhun did the right thing later, and he kept the emperor's achievements all day long, and where did he put him?

Besides, Kou Zhun has shown so many shortcomings now, he is a smart middle-aged and second-year-old young man.

Finally, I figured out the reason, that is power.

Except for a few traitors who were bribed by five cents and brainwashed public intellectuals, most of them would definitely love this country when they were outside the world. But within a country, they would love their hometown. But within a family, they would love their relatives and brothers. This is the natural survival reaction of group animals.

If the system is still the case, then how can the emperor govern the world? As the system is improved, it is impossible for Zhao Heng to run around on a horse. If he doesn't go out, he will stop. Once he goes out, he will not be able to see the real life of the people at all. Therefore, he can only listen to the people around him.

Therefore, as an emperor, his arms are nothing more than four types of people, one is a civil servant, the second is a military general, the third is a foreign relative, and the fourth is a eunuch and a favorite concubine.

In the Song Dynasty, eunuchs and relatives gradually lost their function, so the struggle between civil officials and military generals was a dispute.

Under the suppression of Zhao Kuangyi, the military generals had no say, so they became the only civil officials, but there was one person above them, that was the emperor.

The vassal emperor is definitely not very good, but the emperor insists on it even if he opposes it, and it may not be correct.

However, this subconscious mind would spontaneously suppress the emperor's prestige. Especially in the increasingly enlightened atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, Kou Zhun was a Qing minister, and Wang Qin was a treacherous minister.

It doesn't matter. What's scary is that later, as the emperor's power shrinks, he becomes the only one of the civil servants. However, the fight continues, the children of the officials who are under the stake have no right to speak, and the officials who are assigned from the clerk have no right to speak. After becoming the imperial examination and Jinshi, they are still fighting.

On the surface, the Xining reform was a way for the Conservative Party to safeguard the interests of the elite group, but in fact it was a struggle between the reformists and the conservatives. It even eventually evolved into a regional dispute, the Shuo Party, the Luo Party, the Shu Party, and the New Party.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang fail. Zhu Yuanzhang punished the party struggles of the Song Dynasty, so he concentrated the imperial power even more. But in the end, the power was still controlled by the Grand Secretary. As a result, in order to balance, many emperors of the Ming Dynasty had to appoint eunuchs, east-west factories, and Jinyiwei.

On the contrary, the Qing Dynasty became slaves and had no problems...
