The teaching time has passed, Deng Guang recommended Shi Li to retire, but Zhao Yu did not move after giving the gift. Although today's homework www.biquge.info not completed, he feels that today's harvest is much more practical than those boring preaching, and Deng Guangjian still lacks practical experience at the moment, but his theoretical knowledge is extremely rich. He thought that he could change the way of teaching in the future, and the discussion between the two of them was much more interesting than just preaching, and both could benefit from it.

Recalling the conversation between the two just now, Zhao Yu also had a headache. In fact, when he was on the ship, he had a plan to rectify the dynasty, because with the current state of the imperial court, let alone the restoration of the country, it is a question of whether he can survive the counterattack of the enemy army. But acting rashly will inevitably make people panic, so he needs an opportunity to make everyone realize that this time has reached the point where it is necessary to change, so as to reduce resistance.

At this moment, a series of events in the Xing Dynasty seem to be a *****, but Zhao Hao knows that crises often contain good opportunities, and he matures in one crisis after another, and the group grows step by step. Originally, he wanted to start the plan after he returned, but the situation in the DPRK and China was not optimistic for him, and Deng Guangjian made a fuss about resigning and going into hiding, on the surface, it was just that he was not on good terms with his colleagues, but in fact, deep down it showed that the courtiers were deliberately excluding him and trying to force him to leave him.

According to the usual situation, Deng Guangjian is one of the emperor's teachers, and he is called the emperor's confidant, and his words and deeds can influence the emperor. Even if those courtiers are not in a hurry, they should not alienate and ostracize. But they are now risking great disapproval, that is, some people think that they are in the way, or they are worried that their plot will be exposed, so they do not want to let them stay in the court. And this also shows from the side that there are still people in the DPRK who are muddying the waters, hoping to make profits from it.

This aroused Zhao Hao's vigilance, and at the same time, it also made him introspect and begin to reflect on his next move. Wang Anshi's noble character was not only recognized by most people, but also admired by his political opponents. But why is it considered by the world that he appointed traitors, destroyed the good atmosphere of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, corrupted the dynasty, and made the Song Dynasty go into decline, and he was responsible for the fall of the Great Song Dynasty?

Zhao Hao thought that it was a little wronged to put this responsibility on Wang Anshi, but he was indeed responsible for it. The party struggle in the Song Dynasty was during the Xining Reform Period, when Wang Anshi was eager to implement the new policy, and did not hesitate to crack down on dissidents and expelled all those who opposed the new law from the court. His radical approach made many speculators see an opportunity, and they lost no time in voting for Wang Anshi's favor, and were able to be promoted in a very short period of time, and Cai Jing, who had been in power for 40 years, was one of them.

But the good times did not last long, when Song Shenzong, who advocated the reform of the law, died, his mother Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, and soon dismissed Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang, a minister who had been idle for fifteen years, was recalled to the imperial court. After Sima Guang came to power, he drastically abolished the new Xining law. The ministers were very supportive of the abolition of the bad laws that harmed the interests of the people, such as the green seedlings, the protection of armor, the protection of horses, the equal loss, and the practice of hands, but there were different views on individual laws. Some ministers believe that the law on exemption from military service is more beneficial to the people than the law on errand labor that was in place before the reform, and suggested that it be retained for the time being.

Sima Guang stubbornly ordered: Within five days, the exemption law must be abolished. For this, he greatly hurt his friends Fan Chunren, Su Shi and others. Cai Jing, who was the governor of Kaifeng at the time, saw this good opportunity to express himself, and miraculously abolished the exemption law of more than ten counties in the prefecture within five days. When Sima Guang heard this, he praised loudly: "If every official can implement the decree as resolutely as Cai Jing, what old law can't be abolished?" ”

In Sima Guang's eyes, the cunning and fickle Cai Jing suddenly became a good official with the most policy level. In fact, only Cai Jing knows best in his heart that the best way to deal with a gentleman like Sima Guang is to contribute to his wrong decisions, in today's words, you want to be "left", I am more "left" than you. The magic weapon of "Rather left than right" was played quite skillfully as early as Cai Jing's time. And his coming to power not only drove the upright gentleman out of the court, but also brought the Great Song Dynasty into a state of no return, losing half of the country.

In addition, in Zhao Yu's view, Deng Guangjian, the figure who caused the great changes in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, did not mention it, and he did not dare to say it. But he knew that the 'culprits' were the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, if there was no Emperor Shenzong as the backstage, without his support or acquiescence, how could Wang Anshi remove Sima Guang, Su Shi and other oppositionists; If he hadn't been in a hurry to achieve results and vigorously implement the new law, Wang Anshi would not have been so radical, triggering party disputes and appointing Cai Jing, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian, Zeng Bu and other opportunists or people with bad conduct.

And Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Jia Yidao, until the current Chen Yizhong and others have been reused, which is also related to the greed for pleasure of the emperors of previous dynasties, or the cowardice or their own immorality, which gave the ministers an opportunity to promote "sick" officials. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the key to whether officials are corrupt or not is how the emperor is, if the emperor himself is extravagant and does not care about state affairs, and even does not hesitate to raise tigers to cause trouble, and exhausts the world's financial resources to satisfy endless selfish desires, the corruption of officials will have a foundation, whether it is corruption in the form of collapse or the promotion of officials with illness, it is an inevitable and inevitable trend.

In addition, ignoring moral cultivation and engaging in the supremacy of the economy objectively forms a hedonistic tendency of "everyone looks to money" is also an important factor that induces corruption at all levels. Before the reign of Emperor Shenzong, Zhenzong exhorted officials to establish the concept of clean government from the moral level, and he promulgated the "Seven Articles of Wenchen" and "Seven Articles of Wuchen", emphasizing that "pure heart" and "self-cultivation" are the foundation of clean government.

After Renzong ascended the throne, he set an example and was strict with himself every time he had a private banquet, but there were more than a dozen boxes of common cooked food. An official offered a box of 28 clams to Renzong in order to curry favor with the emperor, and when Renzong asked how much they were worth, the official replied, "1,000 yuan each." Renzong was very unhappy and said: "I always warn you not to be extravagant, and now the chopsticks are twenty-eight yuan, and I really dare not use them." Then he stopped his chopsticks and refused to eat them. The public opinion of future generations is: There are no villains in the court, and it is not enough to win the good and the like. The compassion of the monarchs and ministers, the loyalty of the government, has the foundation of cultivating the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years.

"It's hard to be an emperor!" After Zhao Yu reflected on it, he suddenly felt sorry for himself, thinking that people in this world always like to consider problems from their own point of view, but he, the emperor, should consider problems from the perspective of the country, and whenever there is a conflict of interest, the emperor becomes the public enemy of the world. Therefore, the emperor is a garbage can, destined to be a lonely person for the rest of his life, and he can only carefully experience the cold in the high place......
