From a historical point of view, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen is not a generation of heroes, at most he is a king of success. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But in the same way, there is one thing that cannot be compared with the holy kings who have opened up a vast territory and are proud of the world, that is, the word "benevolence".

It is not difficult for a person to be a good person for a while, but it is not easy to be a good person for a lifetime.

As an emperor who rules the world, it is almost impossible to be a good person for a lifetime, and Zhao Zhen has spent his life interpreting what a good person is!

During his reign of 42 years, Renzong reduced taxes in various places dozens of times, allocated funds to help the victims in the event of natural and man-made disasters, and issued an edict to rebuke himself, stop drinking, feasting, singing and dancing, personally sacrifice to heaven and earth, and pray for the living. You are a king, but you are embarrassed, and in order to avoid waste in the palace, you would rather suffer yourself than use it in vain. For the palace people, he is never demanding.

He cherished the life of every ordinary person, so the prison sentence was rigorous, and the death penalty case files of the whole country had to go through his final review and royal approval before they could be executed, and Renzong would never punish those who could be lenient, so every year there were no less than 1,000 death penalty prisoners born from his pen.

He once said to the minister: "When I am extremely angry, I will never say such vicious words as 'you go to die', and I will not dare to abuse the death penalty in prison."

An emperor above 10,000 people, a king who can decide life and death with a conversation and laughter, can actually cherish the lives of every people. Maybe apart from Zhao Zhen, there will be no second one.

Even Meng Yuan, who tampered with the history of the Song Dynasty in a mess, commented on Zhao Zhen in the "History of the Song Dynasty" written by them-

"To the monarch, stop at benevolence!"

It can be seen that the reputation of Emperor Ren through the ages is not in vain!

....

And the good old man Zhao Zhen, in the environment of internal and external paralysis, can still repair the broken ship of the Northern Song Dynasty and not capsize, and even push it to the peak of Chinese civilization, because he has another good ability - and mud!

As an emperor, no matter how good a person is, no matter how benevolent he is, he will inevitably encounter a dilemma.

For example, Fan Zhongyan, Zhao Zhen knew that Fan's new policy was a good prescription for the country, but he had to compromise with the old school. Moreover, in order to balance the situation, Fan, Fu and others had to be deposed from Beijing.

However, Fan Zhongyan wanted to dispose of him, but of course Zhao Zhen couldn't approve it, and the only way was to get Fan Zhongyan to come to the capital and dissuade him in person. However, the opposition of the ministers of the DPRK and China is very loud, so what can be explained?

What to do?

Cold!!

Zhao Zhen, who knew the way of harmony, had no choice but to play Tai Chi in this matter, appeasing the courtiers on the one hand, and ordering Fan Zhongyan to return to Beijing on the other. However, the will given to Fan Zhongyan was issued, but the order to relocate Wei Jie was delayed in Poyang.

Among the holy decrees given to Fan Zhongyan, he was explicitly ordered to enter Beijing only after he had handed over to Wei Jie. Now, Wei Jie can't receive the will and can't move in Poyang, who will Fan Zhongyan hand over to?

As long as Fan Zhongyan does not enter Beijing, the opposition of the courtiers can only be a mouthpiece, and he can't make any big waves.

This bought Zhao Zhen time to balance the opinions of all parties.

...

And Fan Zhongyan was in Dengzhou, so he almost didn't pack the salute, but he waited left and right, and it took almost two months, and he didn't see Wei Jie to take over. Fan Dashen finally reversed, and the official family began to make peace with mud again.

There was really no way, Fan Zhongyan had no choice but to put on another notebook. In other words, Yin Zhu is seriously ill, and the autumn cold is approaching, so I asked Yin Zhu to go to his hometown in Suzhou with my family to recuperate. Let's go!

It is equivalent to telling Zhao Zhen and the court officials, don't delay the official family, I will send my family back to my hometown, and I will not play with you anymore....

As soon as Zhao Zhen saw the report, he immediately knew that it could not be delayed, so he hurriedly issued an order, ordering Wei Jie to go to Deng to take over day and night, and Fan Zhongyan and his family were not allowed to return to their hometowns and followed Fan into Beijing.

This time, you don't have to wait for Wei Jie, you can just come directly!

Supposedly, don't the old-fashioned courtiers have to oppose this will?

If that's it, then Zhao Zhen won't be a master of mud. Along with this decree came two other decrees.

"Qian Xia Zhu is the deputy envoy, and Song Zhen is in charge of the financial power of the third division."

Zhao Zhen made a full gesture, and said in his heart, look, now the east and west governments, the chief and deputy governors, including the internal minister and the financial minister (note), are all old-fashioned ministers who do not deal with Fan Xiwen, and even Taijian is in your hands, this time you should be at ease, right?

......

The dissent between the DPRK and China finally subsided under the push of Zhao Zhen's Tai Chi. Jia Xianggong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, the official family is still sensible, and now the authority of the DPRK and China is solid, even if he Fan Xiwen returns to the DPRK, he will not be able to make any big waves.

It's just that...

The courtiers, who were all soldiers, were scared half to death before they could catch their breath...

In mid-September, Fan Zhongyan responded to Teng Zong's forgiveness and composed "The Story of Yueyang Tower" for the rebuilding of Yueyang Tower. As soon as this article came out, it was the same all over the world, and in less than half a month, it was transmitted to the capital.

Jia Changchao took the copied "The Story of Yueyang Tower", and the more he looked at it, the more wrong his face became, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. In the end, the copy was torn to shreds.

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself?"

....

"If you live in a temple, you will worry about the people; is far away from the rivers and lakes, and is worried about its king. Is it a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating? ”

.....

"The worries of the world first, and the joys of the world after the world?"

.....

Jia Chang trembled with anger, "Where can this be written by a person who is tired of official careers?" ”

"Every word in the text, every word, Fan Xiwen is determined not to die, this is to come back and make trouble!"

But it's too late to say anything, and the will is almost to Dengzhou at this time.

...

The official family finally made up their minds.

Jia Ziming crooked his nose angrily.

Chen Zhizhong was even more worried and pulled off a lot of his beard.

And Wu Yu was restless and didn't sleep for two nights....

.....

But in Dengzhou, except for the fact that lard is getting more and more expensive, and drunken immortal brewing is becoming more and more sought after, everything is still so calm.

In mid-August, Ma Dawei and Zhang Siniang got married and finally became a beautiful couple.

After that, the little couple lived in Yanhefang. Tang Yi originally wanted to buy a yard for his eldest brother for the wedding, but Ma Bo disagreed.

It's not that there is no place, so why spend more money? In addition, it is convenient to take care of it at the sake brewery.

Tang Yi still lives in Tang Ji, while Ma Laosan and his wife still get up early and go to bed late every day to do some food shop business. In this regard, Tang Yi has no way at all.

Now that Ma Dawei is married, Ma Laosan has made up his mind and went to Suzhou with Tang Yi. If you want to hire someone, you have to wait until he is gone.

It's just that they don't know that Suzhou can't go....

....

Early in the morning, Ma Laosan opened the door to welcome guests, and the people downstairs were boiling, Tang Yi couldn't be greedy for breakfast, so he could only get up, wash up and go downstairs. As soon as I got downstairs, I heard a commotion outside the store...

But it was Ma Laosan's raw fried that had already come out of the pot, because someone was unruly and cut in line, and the villagers quarreled.

"You military man doesn't know anything! Didn't you see everyone queuing? The sixth aunt's unique sharp voice was fully open, pinching her waist and theorizing with a man on the side.

The sixth aunt can be said to be tight now, because the whole of Dengzhou knows that it is Ma Dawei and Zhang Siniang who he said. The neighbors who don't understand the relationship still think that this pro can succeed, and it is all a good mouth of Aunt Liu.

It is said that the sixth aunt has a lot to do with Tang Ji now, so why do you need to line up? Don't talk about queuing, just come to eat, and you don't have to pay for it.

Originally, this was indeed the case, but the sixth aunt came early today, and before the raw fry came out of the pot, she stood at the head of the team and chatted with Ma Laosan for a few words. I didn't want to, I rushed out of a military man, not only cut in line, but also bumped into the sixth aunt.

Others were afraid of these reckless men who ate military rations, but the sixth aunt didn't care, and pointed at the soldier's nose and scolded.

The soldier was covered with mud and mud, and his military trousers were also half wet, thinking that he had come from outside the city with morning dew.

The military man glanced at the sixth aunt, and hummed as if no one was around: "Plug it in, it's not bad!" A certain family is hungry, so what if you let someone buy it first?! ”

This military Chinese is blunt and his words are not good, and the sixth aunt is even more angry. Pointing at the military man and scolding: "Who is hungry and doesn't wait to eat, the government raises you idlers, not to oppress me and other people!" ”

There were also people in the back team who chimed in: "Don't care who you are, even if Lord Zhizhou comes, you have to line up!" ”

"Yes!! Queue up, a certain family has been waiting for a long time! ”

"Hurry up, line up in the back."

"Queue ........"

This soldier can be said to have committed the anger of the public!

With six aunts taking the lead, the military man was drowned in the vast sea of the people in a blink of an eye!

The military man's face turned red, as if he was told by everyone that he was in a hurry, and suddenly slammed the big knife on his waist and shouted angrily:

"So-and-so said buy first!!"

"You have to buy it first!"

"If you don't accept it, I've asked about the big knife on someone's waist!"

.......

ps：

Note: The official system of the Song Dynasty was extremely complex, and some of the guest officials who were well versed in the history of the Song Dynasty may be more familiar than me, but some book friends who do not know much about the Song Dynasty will have a hard time reading, so I will explain it here.

The east and west provinces are respectively the main government affairs of the East Mansion: the Political Affairs Hall, which has jurisdiction over the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu. and the Privy Council, who is in charge of military affairs in the Western Palace.

The actual chief official of the political hall is: Pingzhangshi under the door of the same book. That is, the position held by Chen Zhizhong. Generally abbreviated as Prime Minister; The Deputy Prime Minister is the Governor of the Council.

Scholar of Shobunkan, he does not participate in government affairs, mainly studies state politics, and gives ideas to the emperor, called the internal minister.

The three envoys, in charge of finance, are equivalent to the current Ministry of Finance, and are called the Minister of Finance.
