The more Zhao Hao listened, the more he felt as if he had been tricked again, and he was played by people who crossed the ancient and modern times. He knows that it is right that power needs to be restrained at all times, and that those in power cannot be allowed to do whatever they want. But how beautiful it is to say the "separation of powers and checks and balances" of the Song Dynasty that the emperor who enjoys the highest power "can't do anything happy", after all, it is a bit crazy. He couldn't help but suspect that those who sang the praises of the Song Dynasty in modern times had other intentions or meanings, otherwise how could they not consider these unjust cases.

It is said that in the management system of the Song Dynasty, the military was suppressed by literature, and the government led by the prime minister was constituted a strong check and balance through the Taiwan admonition system. However, Zhao Yu found that in the several unjust cases mentioned by Wen Tianxiang, all those who complained about grievances for those who were wronged, whether they were Taiwan officials or admonishing officials, almost did not end well. At that time, it was too late for them to take refuge in those who monopolized power, so how could they have the heart to form a strong check and balance on the government led by the prime minister?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao's previous suspicions were aroused, and the so-called 'ancestral family law' could not be said to be the meaning of any emperor himself, but an unwritten charter collectively shaped by scholars and doctors and formed over a long period of time to restrain the emperor's behavior, words and deeds. The reality is also the same, the teachings of Zhao Yu's masters, and the lectures of those great Confucians at the feast, are almost all instilling this kind of thinking. Now he is more sure of his judgment, the reason why most of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty are inactive, cowardly and impulsive, is that the scholars have been badly taught and fallen into the confinement of the so-called ancestral family law.

Therefore, Zhao Yu felt that in his previous life, it was doubtful that some people said that 'when the monarch of the Song Dynasty behaved in line with Confucian ideals, the scholar group would often move out of the ancestral law, so that the monarch had to make concessions', and it was not excluded that some emperors were indeed like this, especially Emperor Renzong, or he would not be established as a model for Renjun, and he concluded that he was basically brainwashed by the scholars, otherwise he did so many ridiculous things, and still received the title of Ren after his death, and was used as the successor of the typical education.

Of course, some emperors were slightly stronger, and the so-called Shidafu group became a decoration, otherwise Yue Fei would not have died on that Chinese New Year's Eve in the eleventh year of Shaoxing. At that time, Gaozong ordered Yue Fei to die in Lin'an Dali Temple, and Yue Fei wrote on the confession "Every day is Zhaozhao, every day is Zhaozhao" Eight characters, but the scholar group has not moved out of the ancestral law, so that the monarch has to make concessions. It can be seen that in Gaozong's eyes, what is written can still be put on the shelf and discarded, not to mention the "unwritten" things.

If you think about it, such an unjust case can be created, let alone anything else? In the Song Dynasty, most of the ministers were able to succeed with the support of the emperors who considered the safety of their thrones, and some of the ministers were arbitrary, and they also usurped and embezzled the names of the emperors such as imperial approvals, internal approvals, edicts, and holy decrees. They want to exclude dissidents, and they all want to frame a crime against the dissidents against the contemporary emperor.

It can be seen that this kind of "arbitrary power of powerful ministers", just like the queen mother's curtain and eunuchs' interference in politics, is a derivative phenomenon of imperial autocracy, but it is often worse than the monarchy itself. And it is not difficult to find that from Zhao Kuangyin's Chen Qiao Mutiny "winning the world to Xiao'er", until now he is a child sitting in the world, in these more than 300 years, it has been Zhao's family world, and has not been usurped by others.

In this way, Zhao Yu felt that what Wen Tianxiang said was very reasonable, as long as the emperor had some political acumen, and did not drill into the horns of the bull, and did not listen to biased beliefs, it would be difficult to be used by people with bad intentions, and there would be a matter of ministers' dictatorship. But he is still not at ease, although those powerful ministers have not succeeded in usurping the throne, they can achieve the goal of autocratic power by manipulating the abolition of the emperor's heir, and now he is also facing such a crisis, so he is more concerned about the 'Jiwang Zhao Hong case', and it is a victim of the struggle for the succession to the throne......

Zhao Hong, also known as Zhao Jun and Zhao Guihe, was successively named the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Jiguo, and was also made a prince. His father was Zhao Xiqu, and the fourth son of the more famous Song Taizu in history, Zhao Defang, the king of Qin, was his eighth ancestor. He changed his name many times, and each time he changed his name, there was a certain reason, and it accompanied his ups and downs.

At first, because Song Ningzong's imperial brother, Zhao Luan, the king of Yijinghui, did not leave any descendants after his death, and after Zhao Hong was established as the king of Yi, he was successively named Zhao Jun and Zhao Guihe. Later, after the death of Zhao Xun, the prince of Jingxian, Song Ningzong had no other heirs, Zhao Hong, as the imperial nephew of Song Ningzong, was made the prince and was given the name of Zhao Hong, who could inherit the throne in the future. At this point, it can be seen that Zhao Hong will definitely be prosperous and powerful in the future.

However, the development of the world was unexpected. Zhao Hong, who was supposed to inherit the throne after the death of Ning Zong, was abolished from the right to inherit, renamed King Ji, and moved to Huzhou, and someone else inherited the throne. The reason why things will turn into this result is not only due to Zhao Hong's own reasons, but also the handwriting of Shi Miyuan, the prime minister at the time. At the beginning, Shi Miyuan once gave Zhao Hong's beauty who was good at piano skills, and did what he liked, the purpose was to monitor Zhao Hong and learn about Zhao Hong's every move.

Zhao Hong is not scheming, he likes to play the piano, once Prime Minister Shi Miyuan once gave Zhao Hong a beauty who is very good at playing the piano, she is not only good at playing the piano, but also very knowledgeable, so Zhao Hong likes her very much, but he did not guess that there is something strange in it, so he does not shy away from her. But it was precisely this beauty that Shi Miyuan sent to spy on him, and told Shi Miyuan about her every move.

At that time, there was a map hanging on the wall of the palace, and Zhao Hong pointed to the location of Qiongya Prefecture on the map and said that if he got his ambition in the future, he would arrange Shi Miyuan to that place. He also called Shi Miyuan Xin'en, which was intended to express that he would be exiled to Xinzhou or Enzhou in the future. Shi Miyuan knew about these things, so on July 7, he borrowed precious and novel gadgets to test Zhao Hong's meaning, but Zhao Hong broke those things with the intention of drinking. After that, Shi Miyuan was very scared, thinking about how to deal with Zhao Hong all day long, but Zhao Hong didn't know about these things at all, and finally Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang colluded with each other to change Zhao Yun as emperor.

If Zhao Hong's negligence is conspired upon, it is understandable, but what he borrowed is simply brainless. When he lost the throne, he was crowned Shaobao, entered the king of Ji, and lived in Huzhou. And Pan Ren, a student here, was very dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan's unauthorized change of emperor, so he pulled his brothers Pan Fu, Pan Bing and others to launch a coup d'état with Li Quan, the Shandong Red Jacket Army, and wanted to support Zhao Hong as the emperor.

And Zhao Hong didn't want to think about whether this coup could succeed with the arguments of a scholar, coupled with a never-before-known Li Quan and his promises that he didn't know whether they were true or false, but he still believed it. What I didn't expect was that when it came to the agreed time, Li Quan and his soldiers were still missing. In desperation, Pan Ren and others organized a group of salt sellers and fishermen to enter Huzhou City in the middle of the night, and embraced Zhao Hong, who was dressed in a yellow robe, into the state government and became the emperor.

After that, Pan Ren issued an article in the name of Li Quan, claiming that he had 200,000 elite soldiers and was about to attack Lin'an, and cited Shi Miyuan's crimes one by one. However, Zhao Hong found that there were no 200,000 elite soldiers, and some were just ordinary people with less than 100 people. So in order to protect himself, Zhao Hong informed the court of the news on the one hand, and led the state soldiers to arrest Pan Ren and others. The coup d'état was quickly put to rest, and Shi Miyuan was frightened enough, claiming that he was ill, but took the opportunity to send a doorman to force him to hang himself.

Everyone in the world thinks that the injustice of King Ji Zhao Hong has a double connotation. Li Zong's throne should have been his, but because he was dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan's unauthorized power and self-respect, he made a few complaints, which reached Shi Miyuan's ears, so that Shi Miyuan deliberately abolished the crown prince and established Li Zong, which was originally wronged; Zhao Hong was demoted to the king of Ji, and the local people were upset about it, and they supported him as the emperor. Zhao Hong knew that this matter was serious, so he sent someone to denounce it and led his troops to "rebel", but in fact, these "betrayals" were also very wronged.

Afterwards, Shi Miyuan and Li Zong still put the blame for the incident on Zhao Hong and forced him to commit suicide, and everyone felt that this was an injustice on an injustice. Many ministers, including the science master Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, wrote a letter to Zhao Hong, and they were all demoted from the court by Shi Miyuan. Once there is a disaster and a war, some people will blame the disaster on Zhao Hong's unjust imprisonment. It was not until the time of Emperor Gong that Empress Dowager Xie presided over the government and restored the title of Zhao Hong at the suggestion of the courtiers.

Zhao Yu listened to it, but felt that this thing was not only not complaining, but was killing himself, which could be called a brain-dead. When he was chosen by Ning Zong to be the heir, he should have understood what he was here for, but there were still many variables before he ascended to the throne. Not only should we be cautious in our words and deeds, but also guard against the villain's plots, but also be a good child, 'honor' my parents, and make them happy. It is also necessary to have good relations with officials of the DPRK and China, but we must not express our political views lightly, so as not to make enemies for no reason.

But Zhao Hong not only neglected to guard against other people's plots, but also felt that he was already holding a handle when he became the emperor, and arbitrarily commented on the courtiers. And after provoking Shi Miyuan, there was no remaining action, just like a child to let the family wait and see. According to Zhao Yu's idea, he will either give in as soon as possible and repair the relationship; Otherwise, they will completely tear their faces and kill them, and the future troubles will be solved. But he didn't do anything, but the opponent began to secretly plan and calculate him.

When Emperor Ningzong was seriously ill, Shi Miyuan sent his disciple Yu Tianxi to find Zhao Heju, the son of Zhao Xitong of the clan, from the people, and brought him to Lin'an, and asked Zheng Qingzhi to teach. At the same time, Shi Miyuan separated Ning Zong, Empress Yang and Zhao Hong, and made Zhao Guicheng the prince again. Although Ning Zong did not allow it, what Zhao Hong was doing at the moment should not be complacent, but should be vigilant and regard him as a competitor. If it is quite an emperor, try to get rid of it, and if you don't want to be in charge, you should give up the place as soon as possible, so as not to suffer in the future.

And when Ning Zong died, Zhao Hong should have been the first to get the news, and he should quickly block the palace as the crown prince and prohibit irrelevant people from entering, so as not to cause extraneous branches. And it obviously didn't do anything, Shi Miyuan asked Yang Xu, the son of his uncle Yang Cishan, and Yang Shi to enter the palace seven times in one night, and persuaded Queen Yang with the life and death of the Yang family, so that Queen Yang finally agreed to replace her, Shi Miyuan immediately sent an envoy to the palace of Yijinghui, and summoned Zhao Yun to enter the palace, and took the first step to ascend the throne at the last moment.

And what he did after being demoted to Huzhou is even more naïve, and anyone with a little brain will know that Li Quan of the Red Jacket Army is just a grass coward at both ends of the snake's tail, and he is far away in Shandong, can he obey his transfer. In addition, he didn't want to think about whether the 200,000 troops would be able to cross the Yellow River and the Yangtze River to Huzhou under the nose of the Jin army. Even if he entered the Song realm like a god, could the Great Song Dynasty allow his army to approach the land of Gyeonggi?

However, Zhao Hong was stupid enough to believe Pan Ren's incitement, and he didn't think that he was just a student who had not yet graduated, and he didn't even have an official position, so he could say that Li Quan's old slippery head would send an army of 200,000 with his tongue. In fact, Li Quan's life in Shandong is also extremely difficult, and he has to rely on the help of the imperial court to live, even his old man is not so many people, and he claims that 200,000 yuan is just to cheat more relief food!

Does Zhao Hong count on such people to help him succeed in his rebellion? Zhao Yu thought it was a fool's dream, if he met someone like Pan Ren, he would first bind him to the court to avoid being implicated. And after the incident, when it was found that there were no more than 100 people and there was no hope for reinforcements, the best way was actually to conceal the truth, but not to let those crazy people post articles and posters to make things bigger. When the propaganda is out, even if he leads the army to 'quell the rebellion', the yellow mud will fall into the crotch of his pants, and it is not but is, and he can't escape the involvement.

If Zhao Yu encountered such a thing, he would definitely kill them all, and he didn't need to take any assassination measures at all. And like those who ask for rehabilitation, they use any other reason, and they are all punished as accomplices. Therefore, from the emperor's point of view, whether it is Zhao Hong's death or the dismissal and exile of many speakers, he does not complain!

And Zhao Yu also found that these ministers not only wanted to rebel as Taizu said, but also did not seem to have a lot of light, Li Zong and Shi Miyuan rehabilitated Zhaoxue for the "pseudo-study against the party" case, and held Zhu Xi, the "great traitor" who was almost punished by "adding a little more righteousness", to the nine heavens, for a while "chasing the letter to the Duke of Guo", for a while "changing the title of the Duke of Hui", and for a while "Zhao En from the Confucian Temple", but he refused to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the unjust case of King Zhao Hong, so why? Because rehabilitating Zhaoxue means that you deny yourself!

However, when the country was dying, the Empress Dowager Xie went to the doctor when she was sick, thinking that Zhao Hong had rehabilitated and let God calm her anger, but she was busy in vain, but left behind troubles and found trouble for Zhao Hao......
