More than ten years after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the day market and night market in Bianliang, Tokyo have been quite mature and prosperous; Zhao Guangyi felt that this was all his own credit.

After Zhao Guangyi became the governor of Kaifeng, he continued to formulate policies for market construction and prosperity, reducing or exempting merchants' taxes; The households in Bianliang City live and work in peace and contentment, and the market is prosperous day by day.

During Zhao Guangyi's reign in Kaifeng Prefecture, the commercial market of the Northern Song Dynasty made breakthroughs in time and space; One point that cannot be ignored is the evolution from the original single centralized market to a commercial comprehensive market with multiple business formats integrating each other.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the tea market specialized in selling tea, and the rice market specialized in selling rice, and the trading of tea and rice noodles had to be carried out in a special market; This brings great inconvenience to both buyers and sellers.

In the prosperous period of commerce in the Northern Song Dynasty after the boundary of the fang market was broken, the market was already a commercial circle integrating commodity trading, catering, accommodation, inns, entertainment, and song squares, which was a great progress.

The business activities of the business circle are no longer a single commodity transaction, but pay attention to the improvement of people's consumption experience and participation.

This kind of commercial circle is the shopping center and commercial pedestrian street of later generations; From this level, Zhao Guangyi is really a genius of the business style, and if he is left in the future, he will be a romantic figure like Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, and Dong Mingzhu.

The problem is that Zhao Guangyi's talent in business is a retarded in military terms, and a careerist in politics.

The changes and prosperity of the commercial market in the Northern Song Dynasty were naturally inseparable from the development of the urban economy and the transformation of social ideology.

First, the Tang and Song dynasties were two rare periods of long-term stability in ancient Chinese history. The politics are relatively clear, and the people's lives are relatively stable; The society was relatively affluent, and in addition to the traditional Shinong industry and commerce, there were also some more detailed division of labor; Objectively, there is a need for a larger-scale exchange of goods.

Second, as the population increases, there are large population clusters in traditional political, military, and transportation centers, and the expansion and development of cities has also increased people's demand for and dependence on commerce.

Third, the Tang and Song dynasties were also rare dynasties in Chinese history that were more open-minded, and the lifestyles and values of the citizens were more diversified than those in the Qin and Han dynasties, emphasizing the sense of autonomy and making politics more popular. This provides ideological and theoretical support for breaking through the market system.

Zhao Guangyi was a trendsetter in the fashion torrent of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the clues can be seen from his private life.

There are groups of beautiful women and beautiful women in the Jin Palace, and some concubines and talented people may be forgotten by Zhao Guangyi as soon as they enter the palace; For example, Zhang Xian, the mother of the Empress Dowager of Ming Su, Liu Mo.

But Zhao Guangyi ate the bowl and looked at the hooligans in the pot with a very strong sense of violation, and successively violated Mrs. Hua Rui, Xiao Zhouhou.

After Zhao Kuangyin was poisoned by him, the 24-year-old Queen Song was also his sister-in-law; has also been on him, and the erosion of Zhao Laosan's harem is a glimpse of the whole leopard.

The heavy snow still kept falling, and Zhao Guangyi sat on the four-by-one bridge and watched the scene of Bianliang citizens clearing snow at night through the window, and he thought about so many things.

Soon, Xuandemen was in front of him; Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to open the floodgates of thought.

Bianjing City is composed of three cities: the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city, and the outer gates of the imperial city include Chenhui Gate, Donghua Gate, Right Ye Gate, Xuande Gate, Left Ye Gate, Xihua Gate and Tianbo Gate.

The inner department has Huitong Gate, Xuanyou Gate, Left Jiasu Gate, Right Jiasu Gate, Left Yintai Gate, Right Yintai Gate, Left Changqing Gate, and Right Changqing Gate.

The palace has Baozhen Palace, Zichen Palace, Wende Palace, Vertical Arch Palace, Huangyi Palace, Jiying Palace, Ninghui Palace, Daqing Palace.

The Long Live Hall where Zhao Kuangyin summoned Zhao Guangyi is also called Funing Palace, and Funing Hall is a dormitory; Under normal circumstances, there is the emperor's possession, after the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty moved the capital to Lin'an, and rebuilt the Funing Hall in Hangzhou City.

Funing Hall is not only the emperor's bedroom, but also a place to eat.

It is also known as the inner court of the Song Dynasty emperor as a place of residence and dining.

Generally, the emperor would get up from the Funing Hall two hours before dawn, tidy up his clothes, and prepare to deal with state affairs; In addition, the emperor will also receive ministers here urgently.

The two Song Dynasty followed 319 years, whether it was the Funing Hall of Bianliang or the Funing Hall of Lin'an; Several big things have happened one after another.

First, in the ninth year of Song Taizu's Kaibao (976), the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin died in Funing Hall at the age of 50.

Second, in February (1063), Song Renzong fell ill, and the imperial physician Song Andao had no effect after treatment; The imperial court also invited Sun Zhao and Shan Xiang, who had the most exquisite medical skills at that time, to come for treatment.

But Song Renzong was terminally ill and could not be cured; At the end of March, Song Renzong died of illness in Funing Palace.

On that day, Song Renzong's daily life and diet were very normal, but he suddenly suffered a big illness in the middle of the night; He shouted for medicine and summoned the queen.

When the queen arrived at the Funing Palace, Song Renzong pointed to his heart with his finger, but he was completely speechless; It was too late to take medicine, and the next day, Song Yingzong ascended the throne.

Third, in February 1085, Song Shenzong was seriously ill, and in March, he made his son Zhao Fu the crown prince, and instructed the Empress Dowager Gao to cooperate in handling state affairs; Wuxu died of illness in the Funing Hall in the Bianjing Palace.

Fourth, in the seventeenth year of Jiading (1224 AD), in the leap August, Song Ningzong died of illness in the Funing Hall in the Lin'an Palace.

Song Ningzong was more able to take into account the suffering of the people, and one year he sat alone in front of the candle during the Lantern Festival; The eunuch advised him to set up a banquet for the festival and make it lively.

Song Ningzong said: "The people outside the palace have no food to eat, can I feast and drink with peace of mind!" ”

Song Ningzong usually walked around the harem, and always ordered the two eunuchs to carry two small screens as the lead; Wherever he arrived, he put the screen up with the words "Eat less wine, afraid of vomiting." "Eat less raw and cold, afraid of pain." When the concubine persuaded him to eat raw and cold food and drink alcohol, he pointed to the screen and refused.

Fifth, in the first month of the ninth year of Xianchun (1273 AD), Fancheng was broken by the Yuan army; In February of the same year, Lü Wenhuan, the defender of Xiangyang, surrendered the city when he ran out of food.

When the news came, Jia Nidao pretended to lead the army to the expedition, and the timid and incompetent Song Duzong dragged Jia Nidao to prevent him from going on the expedition.

In July of the tenth year of Xianchun (1274 AD), Duzong died in the Funing Hall of Lin'an Palace due to excessive wine; The edict was succeeded by the crown prince Zhao Yu.

Zhao Guangyi, under the leadership of the eunuch Wang Jien, was used by the four guards Gongyong, Shanwang, Wuzhi, and Xia. Carrying a four-seated sedan chair came to the front of the Funing Palace.

In the heavy snowfall, the Funing Hall is like a giant beast lying there quietly, and several huge golden and red lanterns are hanging under the dripping eaves; There's a kind of out-of-place festivity.

The eunuchs on duty at night took turns to go to the small teahouse to drink wine and eat fruits, and the number of people in front of the door was less than half; It's just that the forbidden army of the temple front of the night vigil is still standing like nails.

The eunuch guarding the door saw that the person who came was the prince, and hurriedly greeted him and asked which prince was sitting in the four-seated sedan chair.

Wang Jien said with a cold face: "Is this what you can ask?" ”

When the eunuch guarding the door saw that the prince was angry, he only said yes, yes, yes, and stepped back step by step.

Wang Jien saw the eunuch guarding the door retreating, and shouted calmly: "Listen, buddy guarding the door, the emperor has urgent military affairs tonight, and you can leave here and be laid off in advance!" ”

Wang Jien is the chief eunuch of the Great Interior, and his orders are the emperor's orders; Which of the forbidden soldiers and eunuchs guarding the palace gate dare not listen??

However, these eunuchs and forbidden soldiers have long been shivering from the cold, and they wish they would be laid off as soon as possible; Wang Jien shouted like this, and shouted in unison: "The little ones resolutely obey the order of the governor and leave the Funing Hall immediately!" ”

Wang Jien saw that the eunuchs and forbidden troops guarding the palace gate were all evacuated, and asked Gongyong, Shanwang, Wuzhi, and Xia to carry the sedan chair to the Danqi to guard the gate, and he took Zhao Guangyi into the Funing Palace......
