Chapter 882 - Can't Learn from Him

Good temper - let the subordinates spit on the face, and never change the color. The courtiers promoted by himself will also sit and listen to him when they are sprayed into soup;

can endure what ordinary people can't bear - let the stinking and sweaty courtiers sway in front of him, and his face still does not change. The courtiers promoted by themselves have to sit and listen to him after being smoked to the point that their brains are deprived of oxygen;

I can put myself in the shoes of my subordinates - I went out for a walk and was thirsty, and after seeing a few times, I didn't have a sensible person to pour tea, so I didn't say a word, continued to change my face, and became a thirsty dog after returning to the palace. Just because I don't want the person in charge of making tea and pouring water to be punished;

Thrifty - eat fresh clams in the palace, ask how much money the purchasing department bought, when I heard the reply is very expensive, throw the chopsticks, so expensive Lao Tzu is not special to eat;

Good popularity - when the news came out when he died, the whole world cried, up to the prince and down to the beggars, the news reached the allies of the Northern Dynasty, and the Khitan emperor also cried, and he also made a well-dressed mound in his own country for people to hang;

Listen to persuasion - there is awe of Taiwan's admonition - Zhang Guifei's uncle Zhang Yaozuo was impeached by the official, for the sake of the concubine's face, he wanted to give him the festival envoy, Bao Zheng Tang Jie's two cannons joined hands to oppose it, Song Renzong went back to the palace to find Zhang Guifei to be angry: I want your sister's festival envoy, and I don't look at who is the imperial history?

Another time I went back to the palace and said to the favored palace people that I wanted to cut the harem, and the palace maid asked if I didn't want to cut it, and replied: Taiwan said that I wanted to cut, how dare I not cut it, and the palace people were angry and coquettish and said that I should be cut first, so sure enough, she was asked to pack up the package the next day......

Talking about Wenzhi, it is not bad in terms of Wenzhi, very capable of winning people, its famous ministers in one dynasty, well-known people are Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu, Lu Yijian, Pang Ji, Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi, Lu Gongzhu, Lu Gongbi, Sima Guang, Han Wei, Han Jiang, Han Jin, Zhang Fangping, etc. During his reign, there was also a imperial examination that was enough to shine in the annals of history:

Among the examiners, there are a generation of Wenzong Ouyang Xiu, Song poetry patriarch Mei Yaochen, Zhibaodan Wang Qi, Changxiao Gongfan Zhen and other famous writers in the literary world, and the candidates are Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dan, Wang Shao, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao. Not to mention, this list is enough to make people marvel today, and what they represent behind them is the highest achievement of literature, politics and even military in the Song Dynasty, and they naturally contribute to it as a selector.

Speaking of martial arts, although he failed to expand his territory, he also prevented Li Yuanhao of Western Xia from becoming emperor and forced him to become Tibetan; put down the rebellion of Liangguang Nong Zhigao; suppressed the two Huai Wang Lun, and the king of Beizhou and other bandits rebelled. After some verbal swords and a little money, he 'forced' the Khitan to give up his attempt to claim the land of Sanguan, so that the Northern Dynasty never violated the border after his death.

Who is this great man? That is Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also the emperor highly respected by Zhao Yu's teachers, and he can be said to have grown up listening to his very warm and intimate stories. If he had not come to the next 800 years, he would have really taken this ancestor who was an absolute monarch but had a rare and brilliant personality as an example to learn and worship.

It's a pity that the Internet of later generations has already picked up this benevolent and righteous gentleman's body, black like a briquette, Zhao Yu saw too much and believed five points in doubt, especially after experiencing many political events after the Great Song Dynasty, he already had eight points. So now it's too difficult for him to believe those chicken soup stories, but it's even more convinced that there is a conspiracy in them.

According to the general criteria, one of the most important points in evaluating an emperor's merits and demerits is whether he can effectively inherit power and ensure the stability of his rule, and everything else must be sidelined. Using this as a criterion, most of the rebel leaders and fallen kings who were emperors were below the standard line, and even if they might have a good reputation even after their deaths, they were still not a qualified emperor.

Song Renzong, as the king of shoucheng, has no problem above the standard line, but it is not only too much to be called great, but also suspected of boasting and exalting.

Renzong has been in power for more than 40 years, the country has been quiet for a hundred years, and the talents are not prosperous, but there are more soldiers than the previous generation, and they can only defend the land, and the financial endowment is twice as high as in the past. In the past, it could not follow the rule of Wenjing and leave a rich treasury with enough soldiers and food for future generations, and it could not leave a large enough psychological shadow area for the surrounding countries as Hongwu Yongle. Therefore, Song Renzong did not have great wisdom.

During the time of Renzong, the economy and culture were developed, which was the old foundation of the rule of Xianping. His biggest creative achievement should be to reverse his father's pompous style with his stepmother, and the other achievements are mainly good at balancing the forces of all parties after middle age. However, it was precisely because of his connivance that the financial strain caused by the redundant problems of redundant soldiers, personnel, and expenses. During this period, the land was hidden, and the land was reduced, and he could not escape the guilt. Not to mention the military, he completely opened up the Song Dynasty's contempt for military power.

If you say it is good, it is called inaction, and if it is ugly, this is not doing practical things! This can clearly see the ruling tendency of Renzong, between the bureaucratic class and the common people, Song Renzong chose to curry favor with the bureaucracy to maintain the status quo. Of course, this cannot be said wrong, the dead are not the poor, the ruling class itself belongs to the position of being oppressed and exploited, and whether the exploitation is heavier and lighter depends mainly on the appearance of the ruler and the degree of development of the social productive forces.

In addition, there are some things that can't be put on the stage, when he was in power, the palace was in rebellion, he hid in the bed of the concubine and did not dare to come out, or the queen who was born in the door personally took the eunuchs and palace maids to suppress the rebellion; He was listless when he played with the beauties until the last dynasty, and was forced by Zai Zhi and Yushi to send the two beauties to become monks; The concubines in the prime minister's family tortured and killed many maidservants, and many people were stabbed out, and Yu Shitai wanted to cure the prime minister's crimes, and he came forward and diluted the mud; When a local official heard that a certain gang of robbers had crossed the border, he did not want to exterminate them, but spent money to send them out of the country, and was impeached.

Now, one of the above four is enough to be hacked. The emperor who has enough of the four articles can't be called great in any case, but he got the nickname of Ren after his death, and "Ren" is the highest evaluation of the emperor - being a king, stopping at benevolence. This is easy to understand, Renzong is known for his leniency towards the bureaucratic class and scholars, so even if it is a matter of interest in a sense, let it be reciprocated!

The courtiers have been trying to train Zhao Yu to be a Renzong-like figure for many years, and let him be at the mercy of him, but they have not succeeded. And when the matter of 'outside the system' was in Qiongzhou, the courtiers did not think about it, but at that time, because they had to rely on him financially to solve it, they had to compromise, and the two sides reached an agreement for this. Now that the territory has expanded and the taxes have increased, he feels that he can get rid of his dependence on him, so he recalls the old story to take advantage of the time when he needs money for his wedding, so as to achieve their ulterior purpose......

The next day, Zhao Yu had breakfast, and then read on the couch in the house, and when it was about the hour, there was a news from the small yellow door on duty in the front hall, saying that the craftsmen of the craftsman's workshop had a conflict with the officials of Shangshu Province yesterday, and Ou injured many officials. This morning, the court reported to the queen mother, and some imperial historians also wrote a letter to impeach him for not complying with the system and wasting the country. Many people seconded the proposal, and the crowd was enthusiastic and demanded that the perpetrators be severely punished. The Queen Mother was furious and arrested Zhou Xiang, the head of the craftsman supervisor, and dozens of craftsmen, just afraid that he would be asked to reply in a while.

Since he dares to let people do things, he is not afraid of them suing, and hopes that they will sue, but he is afraid that they will swallow this breath silently. Therefore, when he heard that he had been sued, he was relieved, so he sat down and waited for the queen mother to summon him to the palace. Sure enough, another little yellow door came to pass on the message for him to go to the meeting.

"See the Queen Mother!" After Zhao Yu received the order, he went straight to the Wende Hall after changing his clothes, and after entering the hall, he first saluted upwards.

"Let's get flat!"

"Empress Dowager Xie!" After Zhao Yu gave the salute, he looked up and saw that the back of the queen was sinking like water, that is, he didn't give a seat, and he didn't even raise his hand, thinking that he was really angry, so he honestly stood under it.

"See Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Zhao Yu stood still, and all the ministers in the palace paid homage and shouted long live.

"The ministers are flat!" Zhao Hao thought that he hadn't been to the court for half a year, but today he had the opportunity to accept everyone's worship because of someone impeachment, which really became a joke.

"Lu Xiang, the emperor has arrived, so you will preside over it!" Empress Dowager Yang still didn't glance at Zhao Yu, and after the ministers got up, he turned to Lu Xiufu and said.

"Obey orders!" Lu Xiufu said, "According to Zuo Shilang of Shangshu Province, the craftsmen of the craftsman workshop kept dissuading him this morning, not only insisting on entering the palace, but also injuring several officials, in addition to the guards stationed at the palace gate, they also participated in it, and also detained the officials of Shangshu Province. Does Your Majesty know about this? ”

"Oh, I don't know!" Zhao Yu pretended to be surprised and said.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Xiang, who is the supervisor of the temple, said that he is following His Majesty's instructions!" Lu Xiufu listened and said again.

"This is good, my wedding is imminent, but the palace rooms have not yet been renovated and arranged, and I have sent an edict to complete it as soon as possible, is there anything wrong with this?" Zhao Hao asked rhetorically.

"There is nothing wrong with Your Majesty's edict and supervision, but it is wrong for them to forcibly break into the palace if they do not obey the ban." Lu Xiufu asked again.

"Zuo Xiang, as far as I know, the siege gate is guarded by the imperial guards, who are responsible for protecting the palace, and even if they are blocked, it should be the duty of the guards. When will it be Shangshu Province's turn to send someone to take care of it, and will it not be possible to change the regulations? Zhao Hao asked again without being in a hurry.

"This ......" Lu Xiufu was stunned when he heard this, and then turned to say, "The ministers did not dare to tamper with the palace ban, but when Zuo Shilang of Shangshu Province reviewed the cost of repairing the East Palace, he found that there were irregularities, so he ordered the craftsman workshop to suspend pending investigation." They were worried that they would not comply with the ban, so they inspected outside the palace gate, but they did not intend to monitor the palace ban! ”

"Oh, that's it!" Zhao Yu nodded, but asked as if he felt that something was wrong, "Zuo Xiang, Shangshu Province is an external dynasty, and the craftsman supervisor has always belonged to the introspective management, and the internal and external have always been subordinate to each other, it seems that it is not their turn to supervise, is there any misunderstanding among them!" ”

"Your Majesty, because the construction of the inner court also requires the imperial court to allocate funds, so Shangshu Province has the responsibility to find out the use of funds!" Lu Xiufu said.

"No, no, the more I listen, the more confused I become, the matter is getting more and more complicated, let's call the person concerned first and ask, what the hell is going on!" Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, and thought for a while.

"It's okay, but a cadre in Shangshu Province and others were still detained by the escorts, and the craftsmen and others were also ordered to be detained by the Queen Mother!" Lu Xiufu groaned slightly.

"Queen Mother, I didn't know the truth, so I was called to be questioned, I really felt confused, and asked the Queen Mother to allow Zhou Xiang and others to answer correctly, so as to find out the truth." Zhao Yu listened and turned around and saluted.

"Well, quasi-play!" Empress Dowager Yang nodded.

"The Queen Mother has an edict, Xuanjiang is the supervisor, Zhou Xiang and other craftsmen, Shangshu Province and the guards on duty and other people involved will go to the palace to answer correctly and restore the truth of the matter!" Zhao Yu turned around and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, you have done a good thing, here is the recital of the imperial history to impeach you, you can take a look!" Empress Dowager Yang pointed to several books on the case.

"I disappointed the Queen Mother, please stop being angry!" Zhao Hao hurriedly saluted, and Dou Xing took the opportunity to arrange a high case, put a seat on the little emperor and read the chapter. He thanked him and then sat down, knowing in his heart that the Queen Mother was obviously angry with herself, but in fact, her heart was still towards herself.

Zhao Yu looked at the impeachment of himself, and peeked at His Royal Highness's ministers, only to see that the old man Ying looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he was holding his beard and closing his eyes to recuperate; Wen Tianxiang was a little anxious and very impatient about this; Liu Huang was still smiling and whispering to Chen Zhongwei, the secretary of the ministry next to him; And Jiang Xuan was frowning, looking at him with concern; Here, Zhang Shijie, Liu Shiyong, Du Hu, Han Zhen and other generals looked very uneasy, and several people spoke softly, and looked at themselves from time to time.

"Ni Liang, the commander of the imperial guards, is waiting for the order to go to the palace with a group of people!" Zhao Yu was able to read a few pieces of the recital, and then heard Ni Liang start playing outside the hall.

"Xuan!" Dou Xing looked at the little emperor's eyes and said loudly.

"The ministers (grass people) see Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, long live, long live, long live!" Then more than 30 people came to the temple, kneeling on the ground and shouting long live. These people are either of low grade, or they are white bodies who don't even have official positions, if it weren't for today's fight, I'm afraid they won't be able to go to the palace for the rest of their lives, and they are all very excited, shouting with trembling voices.

"Remove the shackles, untie the ropes, get up and talk!" Zhao Yu saw that the craftsmen were all handcuffed and shackled, and the scribes and officials of Shangshu Province were no better, they were all tied up with five flowers, and he raised his hand and said loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Xiang was still a little scared when he was brought to the palace, but when he saw the little emperor, he was immediately relieved, and thanked him loudly, and the others also followed the thanks.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates will also bring the officers and soldiers guarding the east gate of the palace city!" Ni Liang led a team of guards to the hall with weapons, and lined up on both sides of the hall, but the dozen or so soldiers in the middle were unarmed, so he walked to the little emperor and saluted.

"Good!" Zhao Yu nodded. But Ni Liang did not go down to the palace, but stood behind the little emperor with a knife. For a while, there was a whisper from His Highness, obviously no one expected that Ni Liang would lead troops into the hall......
