Human nature is selfishness and greed, Zhao Yu forgot who said this sentence, he agreed with reservations, because there are always positive and negative sides to affairs, in the world can share weal and worn, but examples of not being able to share wealth and prosperity abound, and they can be picked up. In the Song Dynasty, there was no phenomenon of killing heroes, he thought that Zhao Kuangyin had achieved the same wealth, but he gave a dose of slow-moving poison to the country he created, leaving a disaster to future generations.

At the banquet with the generals, Zhao Kuangyin told the generals who supported him as the emperor: Life in the world is like a white horse, just a short moment. Those who are greedy for wealth and wealth simply want to accumulate wealth and enjoy themselves so that future generations will not fall into poverty. It is better for you to release your military power, go to the localities, and build more fertile land and beautiful houses, and establish an immovable property for your children and grandchildren. At the same time, buy more singers and dancers, drink and have fun day and night, and live all year round.

Yes, it was at this banquet that Zhao Kuangyin completed the great act of seizing the military power of the founding heroes, which also allowed him not to kill the heroes after becoming emperor like Liu Bang before and Zhu Yuanzhang later. At the same time, he let "release military power, pursue wealth, and have more pleasures" has also become a major unspoken rule followed by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and his children and grandchildren uphold the family law.

Perhaps Zhao Kuangyin's words were just to deprive the founding heroes of the military rights and said, but the Song Dynasty he established first from the military system, stripping the generals of the powers, and at the same time emphasizing literature over military force, for the generals and soldiers to follow this principle to create a prerequisite for "releasing military power", they only need to "pursue wealth, more pleasure", so the Song Dynasty army became a trend in business, they are not necessarily the warriors who dare to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield, but they are the old wealth that has been in the shopping mall. Even the famous Yue Jiajun not only did real estate and hotel business, but also opened pawnshops and casinos.

Without killing the scholars, the doctor prepared a talisman for the scholars. Don't kill the doctor. Zhao Kuangyin left an oath tablet before his death, and the tablet was erected in the secret room of the Taimiao Palace, stipulating that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he had to enter the secret room to recite the inscription. This inscription is the three ancestral precepts that he left behind for future emperors to abide by, and the most important one is "do not kill scholars and doctors and those who write and say things".

Why is this the most important? Because this is equivalent to giving all the literati in the world a gold medal for avoiding death, and it is valid for life, which is much more effective than Zhu Yuanzhang's Danshu iron coupon! In this way, the Song Dynasty created a political pattern of co-ruling the world with scholars. But on the other hand, it also gives people all over the world the motivation to strive to study and enter the office, the so-called "there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book" is the emperor of the Song Dynasty Zhao Heng said, this sentence has become an inspirational quote today, but it is really a true portrayal of the Song Dynasty readers, and the civil official group has also moved towards the road of pursuing wealth and pleasure!

So we see that the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous period in Chinese history in terms of culture, science and technology, and economy, and it was the richest dynasty, but it could not fight, and at the same time, for more than 300 years, there was no phenomenon of chaotic ministers and thieves usurping power and seizing power like the Han and Tang dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were only greedy for money! But the scene that Zhao Yu sees now is even worse, it can be said that under his ass is not a throne, but a powder keg.

After coming to this era, although Zhao Yu did not like to study the scriptures and history, but under the teaching of many masters, he still gained something, he found that before the Qin Dynasty, especially before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the social class was strictly hierarchical, but the social order was relatively stable, and there were fewer revolts and rebellions from the lower classes.

Because at that time, as soon as a person is born, his fate and future are determined. You are a slave, you are likely to be a slave for the rest of your life, at most you will become a commoner, but it is not easy to become a nobleman, let alone a prince or a son of heaven. In the same way, you are a nobleman, even if your family is broken, you are also a nobleman, and it is unlikely to become a slave, it seems to be similar to the 'third brother' in modern society, the caste system determines your status, and it is difficult to change from generation to generation, you can only settle down and have no intention of rebelling at all.

And the emperors, princes, and princes before Qin, the power in their hands is only a matter of how much, it is a pyramid-shaped structure, and it does not say which person has special power. Of course, Zhou Tianzi had great authority, but the princes also had their own fiefs and authorities, and the princes also had their own fiefs and authorities. There is a certain certainty in this. Moreover, at that time, people were ruled by this idea of feudalism, and there were relatively few rebellions in order to raise the rank of their own class.

Let's go back and look at the government of the feudal period. Ever since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted "Princely generals, rather have a kind", since Xiang Yu pointed to Qin Shi Huang's chauffeur and said, "He can take his place", rebellion can be chosen. Because as long as the rebellion is successful, this person is simply unspeakably expensive. Therefore, there must be people with "great ambitions" and want to be emperors. Even by the time of Tang Xuanzong, it had been peaceful for a long time, but because he handed over all the military power to An Lushan, he found that he had a chance to become the emperor, so he immediately rebelled. It's just that he didn't succeed, and if he did, the Tang Dynasty would also be a short-lived dynasty.

At present, although the Mongols have been pushed back to Jiangbei, the thinking of the people in Jiangnan has changed under their ten years of rule. In the past, Mongolia was nothing more than barbarians in terms of the propaganda of the imperial court and people's feelings, but the Great Song Dynasty, which was known as the great power of the Celestial Empire, was still not an opponent, and was still destroyed by it. It can be seen that as long as you have enough strength, you can also build a country, wear a dragon robe to ascend to the throne, and the world's wealth will be in your own hands.

Of course, Zhao Yu is not speculating, when the imperial court took refuge in Qiongzhou, the uprisings in Jiangnan rose one after another, although they were all under the banner of restoring the Song Dynasty, but once they captured a few cities, after a certain scale, they all immediately added the yellow robe to the king and called the emperor, and left the Great Song Dynasty behind. Under pressure, the scholars followed in the footsteps of the warriors in desperation, accepted the conquest of the Yuan court, became pawns to defend the enemy country, and changed their ways to earn the yuan banknote. And all this shows that it is not only the bankruptcy of the ancestral system passed down by Zhao Kuangyin, but also the complete collapse of the ideological system of the past.

Chen Yizhong's rebellion also reminded Zhao Yu that it was not only those warriors who coveted the throne, but also scholars. According to the interrogation records of Chen Yizhong and his gang sent back from the Criminal Department, Chen Yizhong denied that he had committed the assassination, claiming that it was committed by his subordinates, and that he had no knowledge of it. And the so-called military advisor Cai Rui couldn't survive the torture, but it was premeditated to confess that they assassinated him, and his confession was even more shocking.

After Chen Yizhong and his group absconded back to China, their lives became increasingly embarrassing, and they had to try to make ends meet while avoiding the persecution of Meng Yuan, so they thought about contacting their former colleagues in the hope of improving them, and even accepted the conquest and reduction of the Yuan. But just after they got in touch with Liumengyan, the Qiongzhou Xingchao suddenly launched a war of restoration without warning, and in just a few months, it swept the entire Jiangnan with an unstoppable momentum.

The change in the situation made Chen Yizhong think that it was better to be familiar than to be cooked, and it was better to return to the dynasty, after all, he still had the merit of supporting the establishment at the beginning, but he had not yet acted The little emperor ordered to suppress the rebels of the Great Song Dynasty, and the lawless gentry who colluded with Meng Yuan and the old officials who served as puppet officials and surrendered without a fight, and for a time there was blood and rain everywhere, which frightened him again. Instead, under the demagogy of a group of old ministers, they thought that only by deposing the little emperor and setting up a new monarch could they return to the imperial court, so they launched a series of actions under this guiding ideology.

But Cai Rui thought further, they brought out Chen Yizhong to use his reputation and power to make a comeback, get rid of the little emperor, and hold the queen mother hostage to hold power for the peace of state affairs, and re-establish a weak and incompetent person as the emperor. He thought very well, Chen Yizhong's superiors would inevitably reuse these meritorious ministers, so they would remove the old ministers of the court on the grounds of the Qing monarch's side, and then pull them off the horse on the grounds that Chen Yizhong was plotting to assassinate the first emperor retrograde. In this way, a group of people led by Cai Rui can control the imperial court, and finally force the 'Yong Emperor' to the throne, change the name of the country, follow Shi Jingjiao and Meng Yuan's peace agreement, and proclaim himself emperor in Jiangnan.

Zhao Yu was still very surprised after seeing it, of course, not because of their means, but because of their ideas. A group of down-and-out soldiers who lost their homes like dogs all wanted to be emperors, and they also won over many supporters. This shows that the national policy formulated by Zhao Kuangyin has been broken by the scholars, who not only want to share the right to govern, but also want this throne. Think about Han Xin back then, he could endure the humiliation of his crotch but couldn't resist the temptation of power, and wanted to rebel and become the emperor. As a result, a year before Liu Bang's death, he was deceived by Empress Lu into the palace and asked several palace maids to strangle him alive with silk.

Human nature is so complex, and ideas always change as the situation changes. In the past, in Qiongzhou, where the ass was big, everything was under your nose, and due to the conditions, even if you had some crooked thoughts, you had to hide. But now that I am in Jiangnan, it is a bit of a Tiangao emperor far away, and some people will inevitably think of Lao Zhao's national policy, make money recklessly, and even have a heart of disobedience. And Qin Linfeng is an example, although killing him can deter for a while, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control it for a lifetime.

And Zhao Yun knew very well that if he connived at the Chinese military to make money wantonly, it would not take a few years, and this new army that he had painstakingly trained would also return to the old path and would no longer have combat effectiveness. This led to the erosion of the government and the corruption of officials, which soon ended up; However, if it is strictly restrained and officials are prohibited from doing business and making money, it is likely to cause discontent and threaten their own rule and even their own security.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Shangshu passed the book, please show it to Your Majesty!" When Zhao Yu was thinking about how to get rid of the method of ending in one day, Cai Ruoshui came in and said.

"He passed the book to me privately, aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will blame him?" Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty laughed, Jiang Shangshu once asked the Queen Mother for instructions, but there were only three words on it - ask the emperor, so Jiang Shangshu sent it to His Majesty as it was!" Cai Ruoshui said with a smile.

"Hehe, the Queen Mother, this is letting me retire without resting!" Zhao Yu smiled and took the chapter and looked at it carefully, and there was indeed the queen mother's royal approval on it. What Jiang Xuan said in his recital is that after the large-scale expansion of the army, the new recruits are about to finish training, but there is a serious shortage of officers at the grassroots level, and the cadet soldiers of the training brigade of the new army have not yet completed, so it is difficult to replenish them in full. In addition, there is a serious shortage of civilian personnel stationed in various armies by the Ministry of War, and it is difficult for them to carry out their work.

"Ruoshui, you immediately prepare an order to Ni Liang, ordering him to obey the orders of the military department, and transfer a thousand officers and sergeants below the commander from each brigade of the escort army, and hand them over to the military department to send each army; The order was issued to Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and ordered them to select a group of people who were familiar with military affairs from among the Tai students assigned by the Guozi Prison and handed them over to the Ministry of War, and they were added to each army to serve as the marquis of each army. Zhao Yu looked at the dismissal and ordered Cai Ruoshui to draft a decree.

"Your Majesty, the brigades of the Protector Army have transferred so many officers at once, I'm afraid it will affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, right?" Cai Ruoshui was a little surprised when he heard it

"No, the army has gathered the elite of the whole army, and has been trained in the new rules and regulations, and has also been on the battlefield. Even ordinary soldiers are all elites with one as ten, and they are all competent to serve as team leaders in each army, and they can be promoted in each army when they are assigned. And there are many people in our army who have made meritorious contributions in battle, but because they have no official ranks, they can only serve as sergeants, or even ordinary soldiers, and the vacant places can be filled by them, isn't it the best of both worlds? Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "As for the number of soldiers who are missing, they can be selected from the new training camp, the backbone of the army is still there, and it won't take a long time to train to recover their combat strength!" ”

"Your Majesty is right, but it's a pity!" Although Cai Ruoshui agreed with the little emperor's statement, he was still a little distressed. He doesn't know how much His Majesty has worried about the escort army, at the beginning there was only one battalion of the escort army, and he personally selected officers to organize training, and gradually expanded to the point where it is now, it can be said that he can name the officers above the head of each brigade, and now he is transferred out for their future, presumably the little emperor is not comfortable.

"No matter how capable the protectors are, there are only 50,000 people, it is impossible to hold the south of the Yangtze River, and it is even more difficult to defeat Meng Yuan and recover the Central Plains. But if they are distributed to the armies as seeds, then they can bring out an army that also has the combat effectiveness of the protectors, so why worry about not being unified in China! Zhao Yu said.

"What Your Majesty said is true, if the whole army is as strict as the imperial protector and loyal to Your Majesty, then you can sit back and relax!" Cai Ruoshui said with a smile.

"This can no longer be said, which of the various armies is not the army of my Great Song Dynasty now, how can they be separated from relatives!" Zhao Yu frowned, but he also knew that what he said was in his mind. You must know that the protector is his last support, not only shouldering the task of guarding the capital and fighting with him, but also suppressing the rebellion. Therefore, in addition to their strong combat effectiveness, the Imperial Protector Army is also the most loyal to themselves, and they are assigned to various armies as officers at all levels, so that they can contain their commanders and act as their own eyes and ears at critical moments, so as to ensure the loyalty of each army to themselves for a certain period of time......
