Chapter 837: The Greatness of the Chinese Sages
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the affairs of the Western Xia are even more so, compared to the Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, the protection of the Western Xia people for their capital is obviously not an iron bucket, the scandal about Li Yuanhao has been spreading, and the people of the world laugh shamefully, and the Western Xia is the macaque crowned by the monkey in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty.
It is because the affairs of Western Xia are too similar to the Xintai scandal, so Zhao Zhen can't help but read out the "Xintai" in the Book of Poetry.
The most outstanding representative in this regard is none other than Li Longji of the Li Tang Dynasty, because he snatched Yang Yuhuan, the concubine of his son Shouwang Li Mao, into the harem and canonized him as a concubine.
However, in the history of thousands of ancient kings, he Tang Xuanzong was not the first king to snatch away his daughter-in-law. Wei Xuangong, who was more than 1,400 years earlier than him, was "the first person to eat crabs", and it just so happened that the Book of Poetry also described the situation of poetry in it......
This is people's desire to do it, Zhao Zhen saw Li Yuanhao's death, and he didn't feel relieved, on the contrary, he felt a kind of fear, desire is a kind of poison, the greater the power, the more difficult it is for people to control this beast, once they break out of the "cage" of self-discipline, it will cause a terrible tragedy, do you want to make a poem for Li Yuanhao's scandal?
After thinking about it, Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head, forget it, compared to his father, Li Yuanhao is not worth his own effort at all, since Li Yuanhao ascended the throne, he has not paid too much attention to Western Xia, the Western Expedition is an imperative thing for the Great Song Dynasty, and the development of any country needs to be expanded, even if it is the so-called "peaceful world" after a thousand years.
Compared with thousands of years later, the current Huaxia is a real beast, you must know that the thousands of years of history of Huaxia is a huge and empty stomach, never satisfied one day, after the sudden invasion of the precursors of the Xiaoice River, Da Song obviously felt the difficulty of food.
Even the Great Song Dynasty has this feeling, let alone a country like Western Xia, and it is undeniably part of Chinese history, Zhao Zhen is responsible for the Great Song Dynasty, and also responsible for the history of China, when will this huge stomach be filled?
Regardless of the good year or disaster year, the grain output of the Great Song Dynasty is just balanced, even if it is a good year, not the whole country has a bumper harvest, such a large country, there will be a good harvest and a bad harvest, and there will be a full harvest and there will be not enough to eat, which is why he sent a fleet to the Americas to find crops.
The situation of the victims in Western Xia Zhao Zhen saw clearly from the words of the Imperial City Si Mi report, this is a catastrophe, Yi Zi and the food is inhumane This written language can no longer describe the tragedy at that time, this kind of great famine and the Great Song Dynasty can rarely encounter, but there are many records in the Chinese history books.
This is a man-made disaster caused by the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao himself, and he used wool to fight the agriculture of the Western Xia very successfully, but if the Western Xia reacted and began to actively prepare for war and prepare food, there would not be so many refugees at all, in fact, in the end, Li Yuanhao and the nobles in the Xingqing Mansion were still thinking about their money bags.
What is the most valuable thing in times of famine? Food, of course! In Li Yuanhao's eyes, everything in the country is his own, even including the mountains of grain in the treasury, and this grain is distributed to the people for free, which is obviously the emperor's own loss.
The reason why Zhao Zhen knew this was because Li Yuanhao's Huangzhuang quietly contacted the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, and was ready to use these merchants to get more grain from the Great Song Dynasty and sell it to the people of Western Xia...... This is what Zhao Zhen looks down on him the most.
The king should not take the money and food in the treasury as his own private property, this belongs to the country, the real private property of the king is actually the territory and the people, the better the territory is protected, the greater the room for output; The better you protect the people under your rule, the more money you will receive.
Completely different from Li Yuanhao, Zhao Zhen has been carefully caring for his own people, in his opinion, these people not only belong to his own king, but also belong to Huaxia, each of them constitutes a part of Huaxia, the more people, the better life, the more powerful the Great Song Dynasty will be.
In fact, the strength of a country is not how many troops it has, nor how many weapons and equipment it has, but the people, and the people live in peace and prosperity, so people get what they deserve, just like the road trip in the Book of Rites.
The road is also a trip to the world. The selection of talents and abilities, the belief and harmony, so that people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have sons and sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have usefulness, the young have growth, the widowed, lonely and the sick, all have support. Men have a share, and women have a home. If you abandon the goods on the ground, you don't have to hide them for yourself; The power of evil does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. It is because of the conspiracy to close but not to prosper, to steal and thieves not to do, so to do not close the outside household, it is said to be the same.
This is the utopian thought of the ancients, and it is also the earliest communist thought, although it is slightly different from that of later generations, but there is no essential difference, even Zhao Zhen was shocked when he saw this "Journey to the Great Road", and he couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the Chinese sages.
"Your Majesty, a secret message from the Imperial City Division ......"
Sancai appeared, and now he has taken over Chen Lin's position as the head of the Imperial City Division, because Chen Lin died. He was very peaceful before leaving, and specially entered the palace to bid farewell to Zhao Zhen and the nobles in the palace.
Ling'er said that she had never seen Chen Daguan show such a comfortable expression, and Zhao Zhen also felt the same, this person has always lived under responsibility, and he is pressed by countless secrets every day, and only death is a relief.
His last burial place is the Yongding Mausoleum of Emperor Zhenzong, according to the guards guarding the mausoleum, when he used his last strength to put down the Broken Dragon Stone, the Yongding Mausoleum was completely closed from then on.
The small note was taken out of the wax pill at a glance, so many things have happened, the current Xingqing Mansion should be airtight, and only by using flying pigeons to pass the news out.
There are few words in the letter, but it is concise and to the point, and in just a few sentences, it is clear what happened in Xingqing Mansion, Li Yuanhao was injured by his son, and died in the palace in the early morning of the next day, and the cause of death was caused by the collapse of Jinchuang.
The most important thing is the last few words: "The Wuzang clan gave birth to an heir, Xiangguo did not hide the Pang to imprison Brother Ning Ling, and wanted to establish Li Liangzuo, the son of the Wuzang clan, as the emperor, please make a decision immediately!" ”
