Zheng Shuang was allowed to bring a sword into the court, what kind of glory and trust is this?

While Zheng Shuang was grateful, he made the following evaluation of Song Zhenzong: Mingjun is one, wise and intelligent; It's just that there are gains and losses, and the rat's head is at both ends; There has always been a sense of fear of the Liao army.

Yang Yanzhao was wounded by an arrow last night, broke through the layers of encirclement of the Liao army and rushed back to the capital to report the news, and Chun Yu Shitai used his own special medicine to press Yang Yanzhao with an arrow wound, and there will be no more attacks; Song Zhenzong wanted Yang Yanzhao to talk about the situation at the border pass at the court meeting.

Song Zhenzong's main purpose in doing this was to show his image as a Ming monarch, and more importantly, he wanted to hear the minister's views on the current situation; After all, the Great Song Dynasty was a dynasty governed by the emperor and scholars, and the emperor's words seemed to be unworkable.

Song Zhenzong's Ming monarch style was very different from Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and Zhu Yuanzhang actually regressed in the historical development road; This does not make people scream!

The Zhu Ming Dynasty was established in 1368 AD, 364 years after the first year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong (1004 AD); But Zhu Yuanzhang's brutality and Song Zhenzong's benevolence are not the same as Japanese.

The Ming Dynasty was a Han dynasty established after the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the rule of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty; But the bitter life of the Han people did not end because of this, because Zhu Yuanzhang was a brutal emperor.

When the Ming Dynasty drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, the Han people all over the world thought that they should be able to live a good life under the rule of the Han people. Because when the dynasty was first established, the emperor generally gave preferential treatment to the people, such as reducing forced labor and reducing taxes.

Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously not the good emperor they imagined, after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he actually followed the example of Lai Junchen in the Wu Zetian period to come to a wrongful prison action; And the action is even more brutal than in the Wu Zetian period, compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's unjust imprisonment, Lai Junchen is like a child's trick.

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, there were two major cases, one was the Hu Weiyong case, and the other was the Lanyu case.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty set up the post of prime minister, and Hu Weiyong was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty at that time; This is a very capable person.

Zhu Yuanzhang's background is not good, he was a cattle herder in the early years; Hu Weiyong's background is much better than he doesn't know.

As a result, this monarch and his minister formed a big cultural difference, which led to the fact that the two people could not get along well after all.

As a result, Hu Weiyong was denounced, saying that he colluded with the Wa Kingdom to kill Zhu Yuanzhang at the banquet.

This reason is ridiculous, the prime minister of a large country would collude with a small country; If you don't do it as a high-powered official, Hu Weiyong will not have this idea unless his brain is in water.

Zhu Yuanzhang never asked for reasons for killing, so Hu Weiyong was killed; Zhu Yuanzhang also abolished the post of prime minister.

Ten years later, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know if his brain was convulsive, but he turned out the old case again; He said that Hu Weiyong actually had other conspiracies, and many redundant parties had not been purged; ordered the hunt down of these nominal remnants, including Li Shanchang, who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the early years, and also became implicated in this matter; More than 20,000 people died under Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Only three years later, someone accused the general Lan Yu of rebellion; Lan Yu was arrested and imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lan Yu knew that he must be unable to escape death, so he confessed, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry and executed him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry when he killed Lan Yu alone, and he announced that he would exterminate Lan Yu and the whole clan; As a result, more than 10,000 people were implicated in this incident.

The two cases resulted in the death of more than 30,000 people, and Zhu Yuanzhang's brutality was terrifying, so he also specially wrote a book "Records of Rebel Ministers" to warn the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed exactly the old courtiers who followed him to fight the world in the early years, if one or two were not killed, they would be killed; But these two cases directly caused Zhu Yuanzhang's old ministers to die, which is very interesting.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed these old ministers: prime ministers Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang, and countless generals, Fu Youde, Zhu Liangzu and other founding fathers were all killed by him.

The most ridiculous thing is Li Shilu, he knows that Zhu Yuanzhang has begun to attack his old brothers; So he prepared to protect himself and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to tell him to be old.

Who knows that Zhu Yuanzhang does not play cards according to common sense at all, he thinks that Li Shilu despises him; So he let the samurai just throw him to his death on the steps.

Only Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, and Tang He were those who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the early years, and they were not killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chang Yuchun escaped because he died of illness a long time ago, although Xu Da was not ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to be killed, but his death was indirectly related to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xu Da has been fighting all year round and has gangrene, and it is forbidden to eat goose meat; But Zhu Yuanzhang sent him a roast goose.

Xu Da knew that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to let himself die, so he ate goose meat and died of a recurrence of his injury.

Among these 3 people, only Tang He can be regarded as a real good death, and that is because Tang He's wisdom saved himself.

Tang He had long had insight into Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of sending his ministers after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he looked for an opportunity to say to Zhu Yuanzhang: "The ministers are old and can no longer command the army to gallop on the battlefield; I hope to return to my hometown and find a place to die in the future! ”

Tang He's hand really worked, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after hearing it; dismissed Tang He's military power and began to build a mansion for Tang He in Fengyang, the central capital.

Tang He died at the age of 70 after returning to the field, and his family was very happy after Tang He's death; Because Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill Tang, he did not implicate the Nine Clans.

Zhu Yuanzhang ruled for 30 years, and the ministers only dared to go after making a will before going to court every day; Because they were afraid that they might be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang one day.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also added a lot of harsh punishments, he asked all counties to set up "recording pavilions", as long as the ministers committed mistakes and deserved death, they would peel off their skins and hang them on the pavilion for display; It is to warn other ministers not to make mistakes.

Because the punishment was too severe, tens of thousands of ministers and civilians died every year; Nearly half of the medium-sized households are close to bankruptcy.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to stop his brutal rule, he was a cold-blooded animal by nature.

Throughout history, only Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who could wantonly kill the founding heroes; Although Liu Bang also killed heroes, there were not many of them.

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin is much more merciful, but he deprives the old ministers of their military power; They are still living a good life.

Song Zhenzong was more benevolent than his ancestor Zhao Kuangyin, and the "rule of Xianping" implemented since his reign is an example.

And just now in the apse of the vertical arch hall, Song Zhenzong suddenly raised Yang Yanzhao's sixth-rank official rank to the second-rank; The legacy of emphasizing literature over military force seems to no longer exist in him.

There is another point that is even more commendable, Song Zhenzong implemented the imperial court's method of using grace and shade to grant the five-rank official rank to the orphans of martyrs; Such an emperor is really rare in history.

As for Song Zhenzong's Fengzen creation of gods after the "Alliance of the Yuanyuan", a series of clumsy performances of serving fake heavenly books are just a flaw in his emperor's career; No one is perfect, and Song Zhenzong is vividly expressed.

Then again, the initiators of Song Zhenzong's sealing of Zen were the traitors Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei, Chen Pengnian, Lin Te, and Liu Chengqi 5 ghosts; Even the upright and unrelenting Kou Zhun did something against his will to forge the Book of Heaven in order to cater to Song Zhenzong.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a ruthless person, because his bad background caused his inner inferiority; He thought that only by killing all these heroes who were with him would he, the most uneducated emperor, settle down.

Zhu Yuanzhang established an agency called Jinyiwei, which is a law enforcement agency independent of the Criminal Department; They perform the same duties as the Penal Department, and have a separate penal body.

Jinyiwei specializes in serving the emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang relies on Jinyiwei to arrest whoever he wants; The power of the emperor was further strengthened.

Zhu Yuanzhang's inferiority complex is vividly demonstrated from his decisions, and his descendants have also inherited his iron-blooded ruthlessness and suspicious temperament.

Zhu Di felt that although Jinyiwei belonged to the emperor, he could not do things for the emperor completely and sincerely; There is also the possibility of being bought, so another supervisory agency has been set up - Dongchang.

The main members of the East Factory were the eunuchs around the emperor, and the eunuchs during the Ming Dynasty had great power; They have the power to execute independently, and the East Factory was established to clamp down on Jinyiwei; Jinyiwei and Dongchang are both supervisory agencies, but the two institutions belong to the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Jinyiwei supervises hundreds of officials, while the East Factory can supervise both hundreds of officials and Jinyiwei; Hence the increasing power of the emperor.

Later, the Ming Dynasty also deliberately set up a west factory, although it was soon canceled; However, it can also be seen that these institutions are very closely linked to each other.

In the early days of Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he had to review 150 pieces a day and deal with 400 cases; With such a large workload, even the bull had to breathe, so a cabinet was set up.

After the establishment of the cabinet, the emperor became idle, and everything that should be dealt with was handled by the cabinet; The criminal law was controlled by the eunuchs, and in this case, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants began to live a happy life; The dynasty perished......
