In the afternoon, Zhao Xu sat in the dragon case in the imperial study, and slowly looked at the deeds of the previous emperors in his hand, but after reading it, he found that there were many important events that were all brushed over with the Spring and Autumn Period, such as Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao's mutiny in yellow robes, forcing the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Zongxun to give himself the throne, and for example, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi took advantage of his eldest brother, Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was seriously ill, poisoned the prince at that time, and also occupied his brother's concubine, etc., these are all brushed asideFor example, for example, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who fought all his life, was riddled with injuries and illnesses, and opened the treasure for nine years, that is, in 976 AD, Taizu Northern Expedition to fight against Liao, the old illness recurred, and then the truce and the war returned to Bianliang, and then his father Zhao Hongyin forced Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to cede the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, Taizu did not obey, insisted on passing the throne to the prince, and then Zhao Kuangyin's father and younger brother began to bombard him every day in language, so that he could not get the cultivation he deserved, In the end, our great Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was finally dying, and when he was dying, he was ruthlessly poured a cup of poisoned wine by his own brother, and then, there was no more. However, what is written on the historian and living record is "Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty, who conquered the Liao Kingdom in the north, relapsed from his old illness and died." ”

"Many of the words recorded in the history books are to save the face of the official family, but if you do this, people will not know about it? What will they think of this matter in the future, could it be that the previous emperors were really saints? If this is the case, how did the many paralyzing evidences left by the country come to this place in the past, and how will the kings, ministers, and people of later generations think, since there are historians, since the emperor's side has set up living officials and secretaries, why not record them truthfully, and the merits and demerits of the emperors and ministers of the court and the central government have their own posterity to comment, why bother to make these false things to cover their ears and steal the bell. Zhao Xu finished reading the emperor's living records of the previous emperors in his hand, and said to Cui Wenbo, a scholar of the Huagai Palace, Su Shi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Su Che, a scholar of the newly promoted Jinshen Palace, as well as the six scholars

"Your Majesty, the court is also doing this to preserve the dignity of the first emperors and the court." Su Shi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, cautiously reminded Zhao Xu of his mistake and said

"Hehehe, you Aiqing don't have to be nervous, I just said it casually, the court and the Son of Heaven have their own majesty, I still know this very well, I don't go back to expose the old bottom of those officials. Today, I invite you to come here, is a thing I want to ask the secretary of state, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has been more than 140 years, but my Great Song Dynasty has been founded for so many years, it seems that there has never been a festival about the establishment of the country, so that the common people do not seem to have so many national concepts, just like the national flag and national emblem, since we now have the national flag and national emblem, all the officials, generals and soldiers, they seem to gradually have a strong sense of belonging, honor, Now under the subtle influence of the culture of the national flag and the national emblem, most of our officials have gradually understood what they should do, and the people, when they see the officials of the imperial court, they are no longer afraid of the previous like a mouse seeing a cat, but gradually begin to respect their parents and officials from the heart, which is a good thing, of course, the officials and the Ministry of Rites in charge of these things, I am here to put forward a strong praise, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future, more for the people, for the court to make more contributions. ”

"The ministers were originally Your Majesty, the people, and the Great Song Empire of our country." Ouyang Shuliang of the Ministry of Officials and Zheng Junyan of the Ministry of Rites listened to the public praise of the emperor, and hurriedly bowed to Zhao Xu with a fist and expressed their heartfelt hearts

"Don't just say it, I don't listen to this, do my job well, do it well, this is worthy of this black veil on your own head, if you don't do it well, I can't say what will happen, if in the future your officials do bigger, your heart is blurred, and you start to loot the people's fat and ointment and kill the people, I don't need to say more, I kneel in the Dharma field and wait to be stabbed, do you understand?"

"The ministers will abide by His Majesty's good words, and they will not dare to forget each other until they die."

In fact, these words Zhao Xu is mainly used to scare them and beat them, he doesn't know if any of these ministers will become an insatiable person who hurts the country and society one day in the future, so Zhao Xu will knock and knock on these high-ranking officials who hold great power in their hands

"Okay, let's get down to business, about this festival of the founding of the country, I still think it is necessary, our Great Song Dynasty is the hard work of Taizu Taizong and the first emperors, right, we have to remember their hard work and efforts for this country and our Great Song Empire, you have all seen the portraits of the first emperors, you can remember them, you can all recognize them."

"Your Majesty laughed, how could the ministers not have seen the portraits of the previous emperors, and how could they not remember their great achievements." Ouyang Shuliang said

"Really? Can you all remember it too? Zhao Xu said jokingly

"The ministers can remember." Nonsense, who dares to say that they can't remember it at this time, what they can't remember is completely the rhythm of looking for cutting

"You can all remember it, but can you guarantee that all the officials will remember it, and all the people will remember it?"

"This ......"

Looking at these senior officials of the DPRK and China who looked confused, Zhao Xu then stimulated them and said: "I am for example, two hundred years later, in the eyes of the people and those officials at that time, you Su Shi is also a writer and poet, and then there is nothing else, who still remembers your achievements, and you, Ouyang Shuliang, Liu Shihai, Zheng Junyan, Xu Liang, Xie Dongyi, and you Zhou Tong, say, who still remembers you, then you can tell me, who is the second secretary of the Taizong period, do you know?" But the generals are different, and there will be a heavy record in the history books of people's territory expansion, such as: Seed Master Dao, the general of the Great Song Empire, Yuan You went north in the twelfth year, destroyed the Liao State established by the Khitans, a strong enemy in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and was awarded the title of Loyal and Yongbo. Look at the people, when the history books record that you are at most Liu Shihai, the emperor of the Song Empire Zhao Xu served as the head of the household during his reign, no, you have nothing, no matter how long the time is, no one even knows who you Liu Shihai is. ”

Looking at the ministers with embarrassed faces, Zhao Xu continued: "So I said that this festival to celebrate the establishment of the country is very important, think about how we should do this festival well." (To be continued.) )
