For the ruler, the Qing Dynasty can be summed up in a martial arts sentence: the sword does not care about good and evil, and the person who holds the sword is divided into good and evil. Among the people who talk about Qing, there are many people like Shantao, Ji Shao, Wang Dao and Xie An, as well as powerful children like Wang Yan, Yin Hao and a large number of powerful people who draw tigers and do not become anti-dogs. However, they favored vague administrative reforms, and judged the government according to their own political ideals and personality standards, and judged people. However, most of them are the likes of the Emperor and the Hanlin, and they are good at sparse performances and short about governing the people and the army, and they lack the ability to govern the country in practice, and they have neither actual combat experience nor real insight in diplomacy and military affairs.

Therefore, the rulers of the past dynasties were mostly disgusted with the 'Qing Discussion', and even did not hesitate to kill. Zhao Yu alone knows the "disaster of the party" during the period of Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty; During the reign of the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Ji, the powerful minister Zhu Wen once ordered a large-scale killing, killing a large number of "well-dressed and clean-dressed" celebrities of the current dynasty, and throwing their corpses into the turbid Yellow River; The Ming Dynasty even used brocade guards to deal with the Qinglius, often inflicting court rods and torture; After the fierce Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, they did not buy traditional accounts and killed a group of Qingliu literati.

But the result did not make the Qing discussion disappear, and the torture of knives and axes still could not stop the mouths of the Qinglius. Zhao Hao's analysis of the reasons is actually inseparable from the rulers, in order to control the bureaucracy, the emperors are quite relied on by the officials and the imperial history, so they have also become the main channel for the Qing Dynasty to influence the national policy. And this dynasty is even worse, because there is a saying in the Taizu oath that 'not to kill the official', which makes them more unscrupulous, even if they say wrong, they cannot be punished, so that the Qing Dynasty is prevalent, and they give advice to the emperor at every turn.

Secondly, the ruler chose the national policy of 'scholars governing the country', and at the same time controlled the scholars with the imperial examination system, so that the purpose of education was to spread Confucian orthodoxy, defend the feudal etiquette system, and maintain the feudal ruling order. In other words, the vast majority of ideological power is held by the Qing school.

Moreover, there has been a phenomenon of 'power rent-seeking' in all dynasties in history, and the power used for rent-seeking is generally political and cultural power, with the purpose of obtaining political benefits. China has long been a small-scale subsistence economy, with commerce underdeveloped for a long time, and economic corruption has had little impact on society and little impact on government officials.

In addition, because most of the members of the Qing school were from the scholarly class, they indirectly controlled the imperial examination as an important tool, and then controlled the ideology of society. Therefore, in addition to the emperor's rule in each dynasty, there is also a 'Taoist system', and the Taoist system is in the hands of the scholar class, which has become the capital of frequent disputes with the emperor, resulting in officials often not looking at the emperor's standards, and daring to argue with the emperor in the court at every turn.

Zhao Yu knew that it was not easy to suppress Qingliu, because for thousands of years, Confucianism had penetrated into all corners of society, and the concept of adhering to it had become the consensus of every class, thus controlling the direction of public opinion. As the ruler of the emperor, an ordinary person will rarely see the dragon face in his life, and the good and the bad are very far away. And the people who have the most contact with them are officials from Confucian backgrounds, or the capable people around them - squires.

Coupled with the blockage of information and the lack of understanding of the outside world, the words of these scholars around them have become an important source of information for the people, and the standard for judging right and wrong, and distinguishing between good and evil, often their words can provoke confrontation between the government and the people, and even turmoil. Such influence made the emperor very jealous, and had to tolerate their provocations.

More importantly, the scholar class became the ruling tool on which the emperor depended, and a community of interests was formed between the two sides. Therefore, for Qingliu, the emperor also hates and loves, but he is more like a pair of enemies who love and kill each other. Even if there was repression from time to time, they did not dare to exterminate them all, after all, they still needed the scholars to maintain their rule, balance the interests of various classes, and eliminate class contradictions.

Of course, among the scholars, there are loyal and righteous people who have the world in mind and help the world and save the people, and when the country is in danger, they can face the reality and oppose aggression and show patriotic enthusiasm, which is undoubtedly of positive significance. Of course, there are also people who can only talk strangely, have low eyes, chase the so-called clear name, and grandstand, once the court is slightly unsatisfactory to their own wishes, or is only dissatisfied with a certain official's style, they can provoke them to 'spray', regardless of the overall situation and national interests.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed tens of thousands of scholars in the early days of the founding of the country, so that there were vacancies of government officials at all levels, and finally had to rely on scholars to maintain his rule, and while being punished by the emperor, Qingliu received another honor - the whole country, the entire cultural circle, thought that the minister was right, and the emperor was wrong; After the Manchu Qing Dynasty wantonly slaughtered the Qing Stream, not only did it fail to eliminate it, but when the Manchu also appeared a scholar class, it became even more terrible, and the nature of the Qing Dynasty became more and more decadent and reactionary, and the failure of the Restoration and the difficulties of the revolution could be seen everywhere, and it became an ideological obstacle to the progress of history.

Zhao Yu thought that the reason why he was invincible in several impeachment turmoil over the years was not only intentional planning, but also unintentional coincidences, which allowed him to foil several conspiracies against himself. Of course, firmly controlling the military power is the most important, which makes him invincible in the first place in the battle, after all, there is a saying that 'Xiucai rebels for ten years', and he can't be removed from the throne by just saying that he can't die.

Secondly, Zhao Yu appointed a group of like-minded and loyal ministers, so that he could control the government and government, so that the government decrees could be understood and the decisions could be implemented. Among them, there is not only the strong support of Ying Jieyan, Jiang Xuan and Deng Guangjian, but also the courtiers of the previous dynasty who have the world in mind and swear to defend the king to the death. There are also Xie Fangde, Xie Ao, Liu Chenweng, Hu Sanxing, and Deng Wenyuan, who do not forget the old country and have their hearts towards the imperial court.

At the same time, Zhao Yu also cultivated a group of team members, placing Cai Qiao, Cai Ruoshui, Lin Zhiwu, and Zhuang brothers, who were not well-known in the past, to important positions, and solved grassroots problems by reusing officials; The imperial examination was held to select a group of scholars and re-educate them so that they could accept their ideas and become his supporters. Then gradually replace those officials who are detached from their own appearance, occupy the corpse position of the pit and do not, so that the opposition in the official system will fade.

In addition, Zhao Yu ran a newspaper through reform, seized the high ground of public opinion with the Qinglius, and brought hot issues to the surface for debate, so that they could not influence the trend of public opinion by privately disseminating the trend of public opinion. At the same time, they are suppressing through violent means, making their voices declining day by day, and it is difficult to influence the implementation of national policies.

In addition, there is another important reason that Zhao Yu controlled the state finances, and in modern times, the economic base determines the political base, but the economic conditions of self-sufficient small peasants in ancient times actually did not have much impact on the scholars. However, with his vigorous development of industry and commerce, many landless peasants entered the workshops or engaged in business, which changed their thinking, and constantly clashed with the traditional tradition of valuing agriculture over industry and commerce. And in the midst of conflict, these people will turn to support the policymakers, because they benefit from it, and the scholars prevent them from getting rich.

There is also the fact that economic power based on the commercial economy is relatively independent of political power, and according to the basic principle that economy determines politics, the role of money cannot be ignored. It was already difficult for the imperial court to pay for financial expenditures and maintain the operation of the country by relying on traditional land endowments, and there was no way to buy people's hearts and minds by providing relief for famines, building water conservancy, and reducing taxes, which had a great impact on the bureaucratic system dominated by scholars. However, the rich Zhao Yu was able to do it by rewarding him, and by borrowing money from the imperial court to achieve his political goals.

However, this set of effective methods in Qiongzhou, after Zhao Yu entered the Central Plains, did not have much inspiration, and gave himself a ruthless dismissal, because they were deeply dissatisfied with their 'indiscriminate killing' of scholars, they contacted some powerful ministers in the DPRK and China to jointly issue a letter questioning their orthodox identity, and wanted to oust him from power. made himself have to temporarily retreat into the background, and the queen mother supervised the country, which was very deflated.

Zhao Yu also thought about why there was such a problem in the retreat view, thinking that Qiongzhou was a small place after all, and he could easily understand the changes in the situation, so as to deal with it in time. And when the national crisis is at hand, most of the people who can still follow the dynasty are still loyal and take loyalty to the king as their own responsibility. After the fall of Jiangnan, many scholars either became the leading party, or were recruited to conquer Shiyuan, or retired to the countryside, and the composition of personnel was complicated.

After the recovery of Jiangnan, Zhao Yu ordered the suppression of many traitors, which caused panic, fearing that they would be involved, and because they were not reactivated, they were suspected of being abandoned, so they caused turmoil. However, with the support of Empress Dowager Yang and the strength of the ministers, he used the army to quell the turmoil. But it also made Zhao Yu understand the strength of the potential power of the Jiangnan scholars, and forced himself to make compromises on certain things, so as not to cause greater turmoil, so as to sacrifice his marriage.

However, Zhao understands that in different historical periods, specific social problems are different, and the political resources that can be relied on may be different. In particular, during the period from the disintegration of the old unified situation to the reconstruction of the new unified situation, the change in the center of gravity of social problems will also give rise to new contradictions, and the establishment of a new order will inevitably make the contradictions more and more acute and trigger new confrontations. But how to adjust the corresponding policies, tide over the crisis, and maintain his rule can be said to be a problem that makes him very troubled......
