"In the first month of the second year of Daguan, I became the king of the county so simply?"

Zhao Gou looked at the holy decree in his mother's hand, and still didn't believe it, he was so simple to be named the king of the county, or the king of Guangping. After being stunned for a long time, Zhao Gou knelt in place in a daze, his expression was in a trance, and he felt a little incredible in his heart. According to the historical trajectory, Zhao Gou also became the king of the county at this time, and he didn't explain much, just a few words, and couldn't help but think: "Is it so simple to crown the king of the county?" ”

In fact, all this is not as simple as Zhao imagined. If he hadn't felt it and recited a poem, it happened to be heard by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and he would not have been loved by Zhao Ji. Although Zhao Gou was born with a vision, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong also loved him very much, and he would not be crowned the king of the county so simply, and he was not yet one year old.

Since Zhao Gou was named the king of Guangping County, in line with the character of peace when he comes, he does not have too many entanglements, and still looks for a way to save the country in the history books as in the past. In the end, Zhao Gou even searched the administrative laws of various dynasties, hoping to find a way to save the country.

Time flies, and Zhao Gou's age is also three years old. Today's Zhao Gou has already gone through the history books of various dynasties, and he has read a lot of books, but he still has found nothing, the only thing he has gained is that his knowledge has increased a lot, and the evaluation of some Ming monarchs and saints in history is much better than the books that have been circulated in later generations.

There have been several book disasters in history, the first of which occurred during the Qin Dynasty, and the last few all occurred during the Qing Dynasty. Although the Kangqian era was prosperous, some literary masterpieces and historical records were all burned. Therefore, the books that have been handed down to later generations are not complete. Therefore, Zhao Gou can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

In the third year of Daguan, that is, in 1110 A.D. Song Huizong Zhao Ji was still a Ming monarch in the political actions a few years before he ascended the throne, and since Cai Jing was promoted from the right minister to the left minister, he was deeply favored by Zhao Ji. Under the persuasion of Cai Jing, Zhao Ji's political achievements of Song Huizong began to appear chaotic, ignoring the government and politics, indulging in calligraphy and painting all day long, and enjoying himself.

Zhao Gou, who was only three years old, saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he couldn't change anything in all this, and he was weak. After all, he is just the king of the county, he is still young, and he can't get Zhao Ji's attention. Even if Zhao Gou had a heart, Zhao Ji had no intention. Zhao Gou knew that the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty began at this time, and he was so anxious that he could only sigh.

In the first month of the third year of Yuan Fu, that is, in 1100 AD, Song Zhezong, who was only 25 years old, died of illness, and the prime minister Zhang Dian advocated according to the etiquette and law, and should be the same mother and brother of Zhezong as King Jian Zhao, otherwise he should be the eldest brother of King Shen Zhao Li. It is only because Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, is passed on to his younger brother, so that after the death of the later Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is no heir, he will be passed on to his brother.

It's just that at that time, all the power in the court was in the hands of the emperor of Song Shenzong, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiang, who controlled the government and had no heirs. All of Shenzong's heirs were born to other concubines and had nothing to do with her. Therefore, after excluding Zhao Ji, who had eye problems, she advocated that Zhao Ji, the second brother of Zhezong, be the emperor.

However, Zhang Dian stubbornly believed that Zhao Ji behaved frivolously, and it was difficult to take on major responsibilities, so he could not become the king of a country. Xiang Empress Dowager was indignant, and angrily borrowed the words of Song Shenzong to refute everyone: "The first emperor tasted it: King Duan has a blessed life, and he is benevolent and filial, and he should stand." ”

After that, with the support of Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, Xu Jiang and others, Empress Dowager Xiang resolutely established Zhao Ji as emperor. It's just because Zhao Ji was submissive at that time, and the Queen Mother seemed to be very controlling. A few days later, Song Huizong ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Xiang still controlled the government and refused to return to power.

Moreover, when Empress Dowager Xiang was alive in Song Shenzong, she was conservative. When she took control of the government, she immediately appointed Han Zhongyan, the eldest son of Han Qi, who was conservative and Han Qi, as the ruler, and was soon promoted to the right minister. As for the supporters of Wang Anshi's reform of the law, as well as during the struggle for the throne, Zuo Xiang Zhangdun and the ruling Cai Bian were attacked one after another, and Cai Bian was first demoted to the prefect.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager Xiang also restored the status of the degraded old-fashioned officials, and the old-fashioned officials came to power one after another. In July of that year, Empress Dowager Xiang returned to Song Huizong Zhao Ji. Song Huizong's preference for literature and art does not mean that he really doesn't care about anything, especially what Zuo Xiang Zhangdun said that day, which made him hold a grudge for the rest of his life.

Soon after Zhao Ji of Song Huizong ascended the throne, he directly abolished the phase of the left minister Zhang Dan, appointed his close confidant Han Zhongyan as the left minister, and Zeng Bu was promoted to the right minister. At that time, the struggle between the old school and the reformers was becoming more and more intense, and some officials believed that Yuan You and Shao Sheng had made mistakes, and they should eliminate prejudice and reconcile contradictions.

In the following year, it was changed to the establishment of Yasukuni, which means to neutralize the contradictions between the two factions, and also expresses the idea that Song Huizong is dedicated to serving the people. However, the old and new party struggles have not only not stopped, but have intensified. In November of the first year of the Yasukuni Dynasty, Deng Xunwu initiated the theory that Huizong should explain the theory of Shenzong, attacked Han Zhongyan, the left minister, and recommended Cai Jing as the prime minister, which was supported by the ruling Wenyi, and was adopted by Huizong.

Cai Jing is a political opportunist and tactful. When Wang Anshi changed the law, he was strongly supported by the emperor, so that he supported the reform of the law, Yuan Youchu and Sima Guang actively overthrew the new law, Shao Shengchu actively echoed the new law, Huizong was attacked by the old school soon after the throne and was taken away from his post and was promoted to the palace to live in Hangzhou, and befriended the eunuch Tong Guan who went to Hangzhou to collect calligraphy and paintings, Cai Jing was gradually called a painter and calligrapher with his good calligraphy.

Therefore, Cai Jing was appreciated by Song Huizong, Deng Xunwu and Wen Yi knew that Huizong would reuse Cai Jing, and strongly recommended Cai Jing when he submitted his opinions on the new law, believing that only Cai Jing could inherit his Ming Zhi. To put it bluntly, he also likes it, and wants to get Song Huizong's praise.

Sure enough, in May of the first year of Chongning, Cai Jing was reinstated from an exiled minister, which also changed Cai Jing's temperament. Cai Jing secretly pretended to be in the name of "Shaoshu", held great power, and the dynasty was autocratic, but used this name to restrain Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.

It was precisely because Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others instigated Song Huizong that he had no intention of ruling the government, and all the power of the government fell into Cai Jing's hands. Cai Jing, who had gained the power of the DPRK and China, used the story of the Ordinance Department to set up a lecture department in Shangshu Province, appointed himself to promote, and used more than ten people such as his henchmen Wu Juhou and Wang Hanzhi as subordinates to serve as important state affairs.

Moreover, all the decisions came from the Department of Lectures, and also adopted the suggestions of Feng Lu and Qian Chen, abolished Empress Yuanyou, abolished the imperial examination law, and ordered the prefectures and counties to follow the Taixue three-house method to elect officials, and build Biyong in the south of Bianjing City, which is the foreign school of Taixue and used to settle scholars from all over the world.

Cai Jing's series of actions were all for his own interests, and he also deceived Song Huizong Zhao Ji, making him rise step by step in the officialdom and gain more and more power. With the improvement of status and the increase of power, Cai Jing became more greedy, he had received the servants to shoot the Lu, and the first to send money to the air, such as millet, beans, firewood and grass and attendant rations were all rewarded to him as usual, all of which were real money, and Zhao Ji, who was the king of a country, did not know.

In the fifth year of Chongning, that is, in 1106 AD, Cai Jing was promoted to Sikong, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and Anyuan Army Jiedu Envoy, and was renamed the Duke of Wei. Today's Cai Jing is a real person below 10,000 people.

The important officials in the DPRK and China are also his confidants, and his sons and heirs also serve in the DPRK. As for Song Huizong, Zhao Ji is still in the dark. Just because he has Yang Jian and Tong Guan around him who constantly tout Zhao Ji's calligraphy and painting works, so that Zhao Ji is immersed in calligraphy and painting, and has no intention of ruling the government, which also allows Cai Jing to get more power, control the government and monopolize the government.

Zhao Gou recalled Cai Jing's various pasts, and thought in a low voice: "It shouldn't be long before Cai Jing suffers a catastrophe. It's just that this time you can't shake him at all, and you have to find a way to make him collapse. It's just that at my age, how can I persuade my father? ”

"Could it be that I told my father that Cai Jing is ambitious, and it is precisely because of his existence in the Great Song Dynasty that the country will be broken in the future? If I really say this, I don't dare to say that Cai Jing has anything to do, and even I can't protect myself. Nowadays, almost more than half of some important ministers in the court are in the same league as him, and they must not be able to make it clear, and they can only find a way to defeat him little by little. ”

Although Zhao Gou is the king of the county, when he walks in the palace, the palace maids, eunuchs, guards and others will also shout respectfully when they see him, but they are all unintentional, and in their eyes there is only the powerful Cai Jing. Every time he thought of this, Zhao Gou became even more angry in his heart, but there were some things he couldn't do, so he could only immerse himself in the sea of books, and then think of countermeasures to deal with the current situation, but he couldn't shake the foundation of the country.

"If I am older, or if I am strong in martial arts, I may assassinate him, and I will definitely solve the worries of the Great Song Dynasty. Alas! ......" Zhao Gou sighed helplessly, he knew that there were some things that could not be done at all, "That's it!" Although Cai Jing's power is great, he has no scruples at all, and more people will definitely come to impeach after this matter. You can hold it down once, but you can't hold it down dozens of times, and one day there will be an incident! ”

So, after Zhao Gou calmed down, he decided to wait and see what happened, even if Cai Jingquan leaned towards the government and the opposition and dictated the government, he never had the slightest worry, and he could only take one step at a time for today's plan, and then plan. He is waiting for the opportunity to come, and when the time comes, he must deal a hard blow to the greedy Cai Jing and make him fall from heaven to hell.
