In the imperial study, all the princes and the officials of the six ministries and nine kings of the court were all here, and everyone quietly looked at Zhao Xu who was sitting behind the dragon case, before they came, Zhao Xu's envoy had already told them the purpose of coming here, that is, to come up with a way to make the empire last forever, everyone thought all the way, made countless assumptions, almost wanted to break their heads, and pulled their hair, but throughout history, any powerful country has slowly withdrawn from the stage of history in the long river of time, Whether it is the brutal Qin, the powerful Han, and the all-encompassing Tang, they have all disappeared with history, and looking at the incomparably powerful empire in front of you, will it also disappear with time like those countless past dynasties? No, the answer of everyone present was no, they never wanted the powerful empire in front of them to disappear, and they didn't want their countless efforts to be wasted in the future, but everyone had no clear way to stop this, and there was a surprising silence in the imperial study.

Zhao Xu raised his eyes and looked at the courtiers and sons with sad faces in front of him, coughed lightly, and said to them: "While the emperor is the master of a country, he is also the patriarch of a big family, he is in charge of all the royal family members, he may often be busy with state affairs, and neglect the control of all members, and even, the emperor himself can't control the lazy, arrogant and lascivious desires in his body, the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials, and even all the people of Li will be up and down because of some of the emperor's preferences. Take me as an example, if I am greedy for extravagance and lewdness, ignore the government and politics, ignore the dynasty, the society collapses, the world is turbulent, who will control me, if His Majesty Taizu left an edict, directly stating that if the emperor does not act, if he cannot strengthen the army and enrich the country, he will not be allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum to sleep, and he will not be able to enjoy the incense of the temple, I will not believe it. ”

Zhao Xu's words are ruthless enough, the ancient Chinese Han people, respect the heaven and earth monarch and the teacher, but also regard entering the temple to receive incense from later generations as a recognition of ancestors and returning to the ancestors, in ancient times, if someone is expelled from the house, it is the biggest punishment, after death is not allowed to enter the temple, it is a lonely ghost, even if their descendants are how prominent they are, they are also looked down upon, so Zhao Xu's words directly gave all the future emperors of the Great Song Empire and even to all the royal family members, with a moral mantra, no need to explain, Just look at the way all Zhao Xu's sons present are sweating profusely, their faces are pale, and they are constantly introspecting themselves, you can see how chilling Zhao Xu's order is.

"Your Majesty, isn't this order too harsh, if a member of the royal family makes a mistake and is expelled from the house, is it too damaging to the face of the heavenly family?" Zheng Junyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and took a few steps forward and bowed to Zhao Xu and said.

"People are not sages, who can do nothing, I don't want all people to make no mistakes at all, but there are no rules, how can there be such a square land, the emperor is also a person, all the families, there is no expulsion of their family members because of some trivial things, but as a family that leads the entire empire, as the emperor, there can be no mistakes, because the members of the royal family no matter when, no matter where, no matter whether they have an official position or not, from the moment they are born, they have a brand on their bodies, and what they represent is the face of the empire, Maybe in the future, some people will say, why can those ordinary people be lazy and lazy, but do evil, can do anything right or wrong in the world but what he wants to do, why can't we, why can those ministers and their descendants oppress the people, can do all kinds of evil, but we can't, I can explain to those people now, the commoner does this, it is he who starves to death, the ministers do this, the emperor can kill him and change to a minister, and the members of the royal family, even once the emperor does this, If this cannot be done, what qualifications does the royal family have to enjoy the support of the people of the world, a group of people who are in charge of the entire imperial order, deviate from the proper order, deviate from the control of the law, then the country is probably not far from destruction. Clerk, sort out what I said today, write it down as the "Royal Code of Conduct", and send it to me in the evening. ”

"The slave obeys."

Throughout history, after a long period of erosion and precipitation, most of the enterprising and elite began to slowly decrease, degenerate, and even basically disappear, and most of the rest are those who like to walk dogs and cockfights, indulge in a luxurious life, and corrupt elements, oppress the people, and occupy the land. After a long period of peace, the population of the whole country surged, the land area was fixed, and the population continued to increase, so that the common people who relied on the land to eat, and the area of land owned by individuals continued to decrease, and the royal relatives continued to occupy the land, so that the people's already scarce survival resources became more scarce, and slowly, the rulers of the whole country and the people would have conflicts because of the survival resources, and if they did not make timely improvements, the country would have since gone to extinction.

The entire "Royal Code of Conduct", Zhao Xu spent a total of five years to write and perfect, during which he discussed with his concubines, he discussed with the courtiers of the country, communicated with the students of the world, he even visited the market and talked with small merchants and vendors, walked through the fields, listened to the farmers' understanding of it, and finally, the completed "Royal Code of Conduct" was distributed by Zhao Xu to every member of the royal family from the emperor and the queen mother to the guests of the country. This contained a code of conduct for all members of the imperial family, and later, Zhao Xu included this manual in the Taimiao, and decreed that when all emperors ascended the throne, they must swear to this "Imperial Code of Conduct" in the presence of ministers before they can take over the jade seal and ascend the throne as emperor.

In the 40th year of Yuan You, in the 165th year of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu ordered to change the Ordnance Department to the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology, and comprehensively carried out pure weapons research to all fields; In the forty-third year of Yuan You, in the 168th year of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu tried to eliminate the public opinion, changed the feudal monarchy to a constitutional monarchy, established a cabinet, set up an upper house and a lower house, Chu Luli became the first prime minister of the empire, except for the military power, which was still in the hands of the emperor, all the remaining ruling powers were handed over to the parliament and the cabinet, and the east was advanced to the democratic era a thousand years in advance; In the same year, the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology successfully developed a generator for the first time; In the forty-fourth year of Yuanyou and the one hundred and sixty-ninth year of the Great Song Dynasty, the Fusang Kingdom sent an envoy to request the Great Song Empire to garrison Fusang due to continuous wars, and wrote that Fusang was willing to be the Great Song Dynasty Yongzhen Dongfanghai. , Zhao Xu replied to agree, the East China Sea Fleet justifiably sent troops to Fusang, and then at the welcome dinner in Fusang, Zhao Bo, the murderous sixth prince, was drunk, and killed all the Fusang people present, such as the emperor of Fusang, the concubine, the daimyo, and all the Fusang people present, Zhao Xu severely punished Zhao Bo, but the country can not be without a king for a day, in order for the people of Fusang to continue to live, Zhao Xu had to merge Fusang into the Great Song Dynasty, named Donghai Road, but for some reason, not long after Donghai Road was merged into the Great Song Dynasty, a huge plague broke out in the Fukushima area of the entire East Sea RoadIn the process of the rapid spread of the plague, all the people of the former Fusang Kingdom died, Zhao Xu was very sad, and set up a state banquet, together with all the ministers, to mourn the people who were far away in the East China Sea; In the 50th year of Yuan You, the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology successfully used bamboo silk to invent electric lights, wind energy and water energy, making the entire Bianliang City a real city that never sleeps, and the Song Empire began to enter the era of electricity, and in the same year, steam engines and trains appeared in people's sight; In the 51st year of the Yuan Dynasty, the road hardening projects of all the main roads of the entire Great Song Empire were completed, and the national strategic plan of the national railway was opened at the same time; In the fifty-second year of Yuan You, the one hundred and seventy-seventh year of the Great Song Empire, the first prime minister of the empire Chu Luli died of illness, Zhao Xu was nicknamed "Wenzheng", crowned the three dukes, and gave the sword and drum music, and entered the temple to wait for the king, Wu Yong succeeded Chu Luli to become the second prime minister of the Great Song Empire, in the same year, Lei Mercury was born, and the Song army entered the breech era of artillery, at the same time, the concubine Chu Yun died, Zhao Xu was grief-stricken, he couldn't afford to be ill, so he ignored the government, and the prince Zhao Qi was in charge of the country; In the spring of the fifty-third year of Yuan You, the one hundred and seventy-eighth year of the Great Song Empire, Zhao Xu survived the sad winter, never saw the New Year's flowers bloom again, and there seemed to be no reluctance to this world, in the company of all his family, he smiled and left this world that did not belong to him, the emperor died, the whole country mourned, the whole country lowered the flag at half-mast to show mourning, all the pedestrians' arms, the soldiers' belts, the front of the shops, and all the places in the entire empire were all tied with white cloths, In order to mourn Zhao Xu, the greatest emperor in history, and the country of Wagangna, which is located in the Tianzhu countries in the south of the Great Song Dynasty, took advantage of the fact that the first emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had just died and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, he raised 20,000 soldiers and launched an attack on the Great Song Dynasty, and the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty was angry, and the imperial prime minister Wu urgently summoned all the diplomats of other countries in the Great Song Dynasty, and very angrily condemned the behavior of the Wagangna country, and made it clear that the Wagangna country would pay the price, and the new military secretary Qin Kaifeng directly passed the prime minister's official residence, Zhao Qi, who was about to ascend the throne as the emperor, asked for orders to personally take command and attack the country of Wagangna, the artillery fire of the Song Empire was too much, and the war was only three months, and the entire Tianzhu was destroyed under the artillery fire of the Great Song Dynasty.

Time is still developing, he doesn't seem to have slowed down his pace because of Zhao Xu's arrival and departure, but time has confirmed Zhao Xu's efforts, the explosion of scientific and technological power, so that the Great Song Dynasty has been able to develop rapidly both in terms of people's livelihood and military, and the Song Empire itself, no, it should be accurate to say that all the Chinese Han people themselves, their blood has not been eliminated because of the times, but more aggressive, although the people here are still peace-loving, but, for the enemy, There was only one sentence in response to them: Those who offend my Great Song Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away.
