Chapter 294: The Liao Army Approaching (4)

In the hundreds of years from the Northern Song Dynasty to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty basically did not really rise; There must be something wrong with the system.

Zheng Shuang seems to have summed up the reasons: personal power is very small, and the organization is very important; A good organization can not only allow each member to give the best of their abilities and can achieve the effect of one plus one is greater than two, but a bad organization will not be able to make people energetic.

The literati and Confucian scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty were obviously destroying the organization of the Great Song Dynasty, and what they longed for was to let the common people "smell each other and die without getting along" as a family unit; And the tradition is also the desire to "rule by vertical arch", that is, to make the common people into a plate of loose sand and then let it go.

In this way, the literati and Confucian scholars who could only read and not do things were indeed idle, but since then, the official family has had a huge population and the culture and technology that crushed other civilizations on the earth; But it can't export strong power to the outside world.

Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, the expansion of the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, which was the orthodox state of China, has basically stopped, but there are more and more people; People are so smart, there always needs to be a place to release the huge energy!

Since it cannot be released externally, it can only be consumed internally; Therefore, the direction in which people release their energy can only be infighting.

The infighting between the Northern Party led by Kou Zhun and the Southern Party led by Wang Qinruo is only the tip of the iceberg, and the struggle between the new party and the old party in the hands of Emperor Zhenzong's grandchildren is a life-and-death struggle.

Since the Song Dynasty, the Han people have not only declined militarily, but also began to lose their leading edge economically and culturally.

The problem lies in the group of literati and Confucian scholars, who completely played Huaxia badly; The literati clique has the dominant advantage and can live a good life lying down; Do we still need to constantly put in the best people in order to compete with other groups for leadership, attract new blood, and adapt to social development? Do we need to constantly remove the internal filth to ensure the advancement? Do you still need to work hard to do things and show your ability?

If there is no pressure, there is no motivation, and this kind of thing is only done by fools; On the contrary, they are unscrupulously arrogant, sabotage, embezzlement, and looting the people.

Of course, the literati group also saw that the power of this group came completely from chance, from a brain-dead Song Taizong; So their position is actually very precarious, so they do everything they can to defend their dominance.

In order to achieve this goal, they did not hesitate to train the emperor to be a pig-like existence, and they always thought about educating everyone in the world to be pigs.

They made both the emperor and the people believe that "the Great Song Dynasty does not kill scholars and doctors", but in fact, both Song Taizu and Song Taizong have killed corrupt civil officials.

This method has to be admired, and a large number of cases of the Great Song Emperor killing corrupt officials can be found during the second period of Lao Zhao; But these literati turned history upside down with their red mouths and white teeth.

So far, "the Great Song Dynasty does not kill scholars" has become politically correct, and no one can challenge it; It's horrible.

With the connivance of Song Taizong, only a few decades; The literati group brainwashed the whole world and built the literati group into a transcendent existence; The law does not apply to them at all.

What's even more terrifying is that the pursuit of the literati did not stop there, and soon after, they finally created the ultimate weapon "Confucianism" through the Cheng brothers; Build Confucius into a god who competes with the morality of heaven and earth.

The literati clique became the spokesmen of the "Confucian Sacred" and completely acquired the status of a clergy.

The clergy of Confucius could explain the will of God, and the emperor could only obtain "God's approval" if he obtained the approval of the clergy; can have the legitimacy of the rule, and even the imperial power cannot compete with them in many cases.

There is no doubt that the Song Dynasty was the world of literati; However, literati are always the object of exclusion, and I think that the later Kou Zhun was exiled to the Leizhou Peninsula and died in a foreign country.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty were sometimes helpless to take the scholars, so that few of the literati of the Song Dynasty had their heads beheaded; Therefore, many young people in later generations wanted to travel to the Song Dynasty to be a happy literati.

However, a strange phenomenon still happened - the literati who were in the blessings of the Song Dynasty complained the most about the imperial court; These phenomena can be read in the poems.

To tell the truth, the Great Song Dynasty; Few literati have a smooth career.

Kou Zhun, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and even Wang Qinruo, Cai Jing and others have all risen and fallen in the sea.

Obviously, the literati are in charge of the world, why don't the literati have a smooth career? Do you harm your own people? This question is really confusing to many people.

On the whole, the literati are still very protective of the literati; For example, on the issue of military generals, the literati would rather suffer defeat than let military generals be the number one military leader; The generals are all subordinate to the literati, and can only be the literati's deputies forever.

For example, in the treatment of the emperor, the literati always spoke for the literati; Even if the emperor wanted to kill a literati, all the literati would jump out to defend him.

From a big point of view: the literati are a group, so it seems that they should support each other and share weal and woe!

But this is not the case, no matter how stupid the emperor is, he is not willing to let the courtiers huddle together for warmth; If it doesn't sound good, it's called forming a party for personal gain, and if it's ugly, it's called plotting; It's not an exaggeration to label you a traitor.

First of all, the emperor did not want the literati to be too united; That would threaten his imperial power, which doomed the literati to not have as much life as they imagined.

For example, the controversy at the court meeting just now, the mutual scolding and even abuse between ministers and ministers; Emperor Zhenzong was actually very happy in his heart.

The people on both sides of Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo quarreled and spoke viciously on the issue of moving the capital, wasn't Bengbu fighting and the fisherman benefiting? But Song Zhenzong gave the people on Kou Zhun's side the upper hand.

The reason why Song Zhenzong gave Kou Zhun's people the upper hand was because the 200,000 troops of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State had approached Huazhou; When the imperial forbidden army in Huazhou saw the iron hooves of the Liao army, they fled, but the generals of the Iron Falcon Army, Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng organized the local people to resist.

When Song Zhenzong heard the news, he was angry, hateful, and moved.

The angry forbidden army, the court used so much silver to feed them every year; In order to protect the family and defend the country, but when he saw that the enemy army was invincible; How can he just flee be worthy of the taxes paid by the court and the common people?

Song Zhenzong was moved by the common people, and the common people organized to entangle the Liao army; Stranded by the Khitan Iron Cavalry marching towards Bianjing, Song Zhenzong almost cried.

But he was the emperor who couldn't easily shed tears at the court meeting, but he secretly prayed to the people of Huazhou to defend the country.

There is a more important reason why Song Zhenzong let the people on Kou Zhun's side win: the young general Zheng Shuang, the first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang, and the hero of the Three Kingdoms Wei Yan are all in Kou Zhun's camp, and the aggressive Liao army still needs Zheng Shuang and these generals to kill!

Zheng Shuang was recognized as a military general by Song Zhenzong because he organized an Iron Falcon army on the way to Tokyo and considered himself a marshal.

In fact, with Zheng Shuang's medical doctorate diploma in later generations, it was more than enough to be a bachelor of Hanlin in the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Shuang, Qin Shi Huang, and Wei Yan were all summoned by Kou Zhun, and from the level of resisting the Liao army, they were loyal to the country; And being framed by Wang Qinruo as a crime of rebellion is all false.

The Liao army pressed the border, and Song Zhenzong had no time to deal with Wang Qinruo's false accusation; Kou Zhun said that he would sentence the Tianxiong Army, and Song Zhenzong agreed.

The judgment is the judge, not the presiding officer, so it is put on hold first; Once the Liao army was defeated, Song Zhenzong still had the opportunity to transfer Wang Qinruo back to the central government, and it seems that Song Zhenzong still admired Wang Qinruo; He couldn't forget Wang Qinruo's soft and sweet words from the southerners.

This is our benevolent emperor Comrade Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong, and Comrade Zhao Heng is really benevolent; When the enemy army presses the border, use loyalty, and after the enemy army retreats, use traitors; It led to his Taishan sealing Zen after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and the people lost money.

Song Zhenzong seemed to be the wisest choice to do this, why couldn't everyone calmly finish the two meals that were going to be made every day!

Note: The people of the Song Dynasty ate two meals, unlike the young people of the 21st century in the later generations, who slept lazily in the morning, and only ate, died, drank, and drank heavily after the sun set, and spent two-thirds of the day eating and drinking.

If Kou Zhun traveled to the 21st century, he would definitely become a model for young people; Eat and drink for a night and then dance the Zhezhi dance, it must be: "Zhezhi is the first to make a drum move, and Hua Tian Luo shirt shrugs his waist." The brocade boots are empty, and the embroidered hat is fluttering in the wind. ”

The literati of the Song Dynasty were good friends with the emperor, but his mother could not withstand the temptation of money and power; One by one, consciously or unconsciously, they fought to the bitter end in order to compete for interests, and in the end, a normalized political pattern was formed -- party struggle.

Party strife was a disaster for the literati, but in the Zhenzong Dynasty, such a disaster was good for the emperor; Song Zhenzong wanted to stay left and right in the dispute between the two parties and keep his throne stable......
