Chapter 1056: The Reincarnation of the Dynasty
The officials of the court had a great deal of controversy about Zhang Congzhen's sudden appearance, and the focus of the controversy was not his grace, but his dispatch.
A newcomer to the court, who got a positive six-grade undertaker, was actually filled into the secret pavilion by the official family!
What is the Secret Pavilion? Although it is only the back cabinet of the Chongwen Academy, even the ministers of the two governments do not go often, and other officials are not called to go, which is where the officials and important ministers discuss the secrets.
Even if you Zhang Congzhi enters the office, even if your father Zhang Yong is famous for a while, you shouldn't be so arrogant, and you shouldn't be able to resign!
Officialdom has the rules and principles of officialdom, but these things are worthless in Zhang Congzhen's eyes, in his opinion, he came to discuss more advanced issues with the official, otherwise it would be impossible to even enter the office.
Zhao Zhen is not a pedantic king, on the contrary, eclectic is his style.
This Zhao Zhen adjusted the members of the Secret Pavilion, Zhang Congzhen was only one of them, as well as Su Shi, who had just been named the champion, and Yang Xiu, who was in charge of the feast, these three became his think tank.
Yang Xiu is good at Confucian classics, and he knows all the subsets of classics and history, so he can be regarded as an old pedant, while Su Shi is a fledgling, but he is quick-witted, and although his poetry is outstanding, he can't hide his wisdom.
Although this is a strange combination, Zhao Zhen believes that they will definitely be able to come up with an answer for themselves.
This question is very profound, so that later generations are discussing it but there is no definite result, Zhao Zhen knows the dynasty better than anyone else, no, it should be accurate to say that the reincarnation of the times is an inevitable problem.
He is actually experiencing the same situation as he is now, how long can a stable environment last, how long can a country's prosperity last, and how can this cycle be continued and broken?
Zhao Zhen hoped to get the answer from the wisdom of Zhang Congzhen, Su Shi, and Yang Xiu.
Zhao Zhen knew the reasons for the demise of each dynasty, even the Great Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing dynasties, which he could only bury in his heart but could not say, but it also puzzled him.
The Han dynasty is the best at summing up experience, where the previous dynasty was planted, the later dynasties will already take this as a warning, will definitely set things right, and will definitely do everything possible to avoid it.
Even in later generations, he did not hesitate to overthrow the system that had been used in China for thousands of years and embarked on a new road, but who can say that this road will work? Is it because the world is walking this path, and this path is the right one?
Zhao Zhen was thinking about this issue at the entire court meeting, and many courtiers could see that the officials were absent-minded, but they abided by their duties as courtiers very well, and no one would ask.
The most concerned question for the courtiers now is why the official family wants to stuff people into the secret pavilion, in the past, the secret pavilion was just a small official such as a school secretary and a character zheng, even if the officials of the two governments and the official family discussed here, they did not have the opportunity to contact.
But now it's different, the official family has made a clear decree to elevate the Secret Pavilion to a place for discussion, which means that the Secret Pavilion will become another decision-making place for the Great Song Dynasty, so how different is it from the two mansions?!
Of course, many people misunderstood, Zhao Zhen didn't want to explain, the so-called secret pavilion was only used for his own advice, which was equivalent to the think tank of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two mansions were still the center of the Great Song Dynasty, and there was an essential difference between the two.
Zhao Zhen will not use the secret cabinet to deal with the government for himself, and he will not use the two mansions to solve theoretical problems.
Chongwen Yuan is only a place to store books in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, but now there are guards guarding it, firstly, there are very precious solitary books in these collections, and secondly, almost all the emperors of the old Zhao family are collected here.
In addition, Chongwen Yuan has hardly changed, and it is still the place where the Great Song Dynasty collects books, and there is not much mystery when officials come and go to it.
The east corridor of the courtyard is the Zhao book library; The south corridor is the Jixian Library; The west corridor is the library of the history museum, and it is also divided into four libraries: scriptures, history, children, and collections. There are more than 80,000 volumes of original and duplicate books. It also extracted the treasure collection and built the secret pavilion, but now the secret pavilion stores the historical materials and notes of the past dynasties.
Zhao Zhen only felt that the fragrance of books in the Chongwen Academy was very strong along the way, and the officials who came and went ran with the classics in their hands, and these books were the summary of the wisdom and experience of the predecessors.
Sancai stepped forward first, pushed open the door of the secret pavilion, Zhang Congzhen, Su Shi, and Yang Xiu were already overwhelmed by the "sea of books", and from time to time they read the classics and historical materials for transcription.
After discovering that Zhao Zhen was coming, he got up and saluted: "Congratulations to the saint!" ”
Zhao Zhen rarely cared about these understandings in the palace, waved his hand and said: "You wait, don't be distracted by me, this time you should also know what I don't understand." ”
Of course, I know that the order that Zhang Congzhen and others received was to check the reasons for the destruction of the past dynasties and summarize them, which was nothing for Zhang Congzhen, but for Su Shi and Yang Xiu, they were very frightened.
They don't understand why the official family did this, there are various reasons for the fall of the previous dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has abandoned the Tang Dynasty to leave trouble, collect military power, emphasize civil ministers, and ignore military officials, so that the Anshi Rebellion can be avoided?
But the more confident they are, the more shocking the results they get, Su Shi and Yang Xiu, both old and young, are from the so-called orthodox family of rules, and they know the history of all dynasties.
Needless to say, the history of the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties is also involved, but now it makes them summarize the reasons for the collapse of Sheji and the extinction of their family and country, which made them fear for a while.
Because like Zhao Zhen, they see a kind of cycle, or reincarnation.
Neither of them is a fool, they can see at a glance where the dynasties and dynasties are end, but they dare not speak, even Zhang Congzhen, who has been prepared for a long time, feels incredible, and even has a pessimism.
Zhao Zhen looked at them with a slightly sad and panicked expression and said, "A wise man once told me that the major events in the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time!" Hao Hao soup soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die! ”
The three of them looked up at Zhao Zhen almost at the same time, according to the meaning of the official family, the Great Song Dynasty could not escape the theory of separation and integration? !
"Don't be surprised, this is what is contained in the history books, and you yourself understand that what I said is right, since the Qin Dynasty, there has been a great unified dynasty that has enjoyed the country for more than three hundred years? Even if it is as strong as the Tang Dynasty, it is only two hundred and eighty-nine years! After that, there is the reincarnation of another dynasty, as if it succeeded the Great Sui. ”
Zhao Zhen's words made everyone present shudder, it is obvious that although the current Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, it cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will always be a strong dynasty in the hearts of the Song people, so the Great Song Dynasty retains most of the Tang Dynasty system.
Since even the Tang Dynasty, which was as strong as a force, could not break the conclusion of three hundred years, what about the Great Song Dynasty?!
Sancai had already knelt on the ground in fright, and kept kowtowing and pounding garlic: "Your Majesty! ………… Ominous words must not come from the mouth of the Holy King! Your Majesty! ”
