After Zhao Kuangyin seized power, he treated the clan well in the economy, which led to the rapid expansion of the clan population, and when the Shenzong succeeded to the throne, he had to adjust the clan policy and distinguish between close and distant relatives, resulting in the division between the rich and the poor within the clan, and the disguised implementation of the plan to plan for childbirth, so that the population growth of the clan tended to slow down, and so that Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne In fact, the population growth rate of the distant relatives of the clan has declined sharply.

But people are not as good as heaven, the Jurchens have taken away most of the clans living in Bianjing, so that the children of the Taizong family have decreased rapidly, and the descendants of Taizu and the Wei dynasty have survived because most of them live outside, which has led to the balance of the past being broken, so Zhao Ta has pressure, and he can't give up the throne to the Taizu family anymore, but he knows that Zhao Dao wants Zhao Gou to do this back then.

And this time, these side clans did bring trouble to Zhao Ta, let's just say that Zhao Zisong, the leader of the alliance, after the fall of Kaifeng, he was doing Huainan prefect and had soldiers in his hands, and after getting in touch with King Kang, he suggested a bold and active resistance strategy against Jin. Although King Kang did not adopt it, he appointed Zisong as the senator of the Generalissimo's Mansion and the governor of the Southeast Province.

This is not an independent commander, but it is an important position, Zhao Zisong in order to prevent the puppet emperor Zhang Bangchang from getting any help from his hometown Huainan, Zhang Bangchang's mother was executed without a military order, after the queen mother returned to power, but did not actively hand over the military power, the reorganization also held an opposing attitude, although did not lead the troops to resist, but also adopted a non-cooperative approach to passive confrontation, and did not know the affairs of the wrong remarks, quoting the words of Si Tianjian Miao Chang, saying that "the descendants of Taizu must have the world again."

But this kind of thing is not together, accused of being disloyal and harboring the intention of usurping the throne. Zhao Zisong is not the only one. Zhao Shuxiang, the clan of the Wei Dynasty, was about to break the city of the Jin people. Escaped from Kaifeng and gathered the rebels, and now they are still clamoring to rescue the emperor. Isn't this a deliberate stage? It may be okay for others to say this, but he can't, and he speaks on behalf of the clan.

Zhao Ta, the emperor, had just ascended the throne, and he was about to shout to save another emperor before he changed his name, and the implicit meaning of Zhao Shuxiang's words was not to recognize him as an emperor. And it was precisely his subordinates who launched a rebellion, but they were soon defeated and captured, perhaps in order to survive, they accused Uncle Zhao of attempting to rebel, which caused a strong reaction from the Taizong family, and even Zhao Ji sent someone to ask if he knew the news. Ask him to deal with it decisively.

"Your Majesty, what should you do with these two people?" King Su Zhao Shu saluted Zhao Ta.

"Sit down!" Zhao Ta pointed to the embroidered pier on the side and said, "Fourth brother, you are a great sect, both of them are clan relatives, you should come up with a charter first!" ”

The royal family is held by Zongzheng, one of the Nine Emperors, and this position is usually held by the clan. His main duties were to maintain the registration of the royal family genealogy and to select a clan to the court when there was no successor to the throne, which of course rarely happened. The rest consisted of education, and the Harmony Clan. Accept lawsuits and correct violations. In the case of disputes, Shoji Omasamu conducted an investigation and filed a complaint. and make a ruling; In case of an event that cannot be adjudicated, the emperor will be asked to decide. The main secretary is also responsible for keeping quarterly records of the entry and exit of people in the house and annual reports on the births and deaths of clan members.

For the clan that can't enter the phase, this position is fat. And it must be someone who has a lot of prestige in the clan and can be trusted by the emperor. Several of the princes left behind in the previous generation did not survive the hardships of the northward journey. Then it's their turn.

The third Zhao Kai and Zhao Ta are old opponents who have been fighting for more than ten years, and they are fighting to the death. Of course, he can't be put in charge of Zongzhengsi, then it's the turn of the fourth Zhao Shu, although this kid is timid, but he also knows which end of the kang is hot, the eldest brother sent himself to the golden camp, the third brother has never treated himself as a brother, and the second brother still remembers himself, when he learned that it was his second brother who sent heavy troops from afar to rescue himself from the tiger's mouth, he completely fell to the second brother, Zhao Ta then appointed Zhao Shu as the great Zongzheng of Zongzheng to help him manage the clan.

"Your Majesty, you have just ascended to the Great Treasure, you should stand up and punish these rebels with the intention of rebellion to death!" A gray-haired young man couldn't hold back his anger and said. Emperor Taishang has always been grateful to King Jing Zhao Qi for taking care of him on the way to the north, and mentioned it in front of him several times, King Jing served him every day along the way, his clothes were untied, he couldn't eat meat, and his hair and beard were white. Zhao Ta was so filial that he immediately appointed King Jing as the Shaoqing of Zong Zhengsi and became the second-in-command of Zong Zhengsi.

"Well, Taizu has a great training, and he wants the clan to love and help each other, so it's not appropriate to use a sword and axe in vain, right?" Zhao Qi looked at the angry appearance of this 'little old man' and felt very funny, Zhao Qi has been full of hostility towards the courtiers and those clans since he escaped, thinking that he was also betrayed by the courtiers, and those clans on the northbound road will betray each other for stuttering and expose them to the Jinren.

"Sixth brother, His Majesty will execute the two of them as soon as he succeeds to the throne, and he will tell the truth that His Majesty has killed the clan!" Zhao Shu also shook his head.

"Fourth brother, these people dare to do this by relying on the legacy of Taizu, if they are not severely punished this time, they will be more unscrupulous, do you know that on the way to the north, Zhao Shixuan escaped from the golden camp to Yuzhou, just one sentence 'I am the emperor's uncle' gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of followers, such as today's peace, thieves are making trouble everywhere, if they are all in the name of welcoming the King of Liao, will they not fall into the court in disloyalty, and fall into injustice!" Zhao Qi saw that the two of them didn't seem to be very concerned, and said anxiously.

"This can't be said nonsense, there are many people in the Jurchen invasion clan who either defend the city to the death, or raise troops to fight bloodily, many people sacrifice their lives for the country, although these two people are at fault, but they should be punished with capital punishment, I am afraid that it will cause panic among others, but make them uneasy and have different aspirations!" Zhao Shu said.

"Fourth brother, you are kind-hearted and soft-faced, these people must not be let go easily, you must make an example of them, lest they do foolish things again!" Not to be outdone, Zhao Qi said.

"Okay, don't fight, these are family matters, let's discuss them slowly, anyway, they can't afford to make big waves!" Zhao Ta saw that the two brothers were fighting with red faces, and hurriedly beat Ha Lu Hadao.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the safety of our clan, and we must not take it lightly, and we should take thunderous measures to stop it!" Zhao Qi didn't appreciate it, and still said.

"Your Majesty. Don't act rashly, Taizu has training. Don't mutilate the clan! Zhao Shu said.

"Well, you both have a point!" Zhao Ta nodded. I know in my heart that these two brothers are also sincere for their own good, and they are consistent in safeguarding the interests of the family, and they will also involve King Kang, he is much more powerful than rebellion, it is simply a matter of rebellion, and the punishment of the two will affect their disposal in the future.

"Your Majesty, please!" The two brothers saw that the imperial brother nodded, knowing that he had already made a plan, and bowed down to salute.

"For Zhao Zisong and Zhao Shuxiang, although they have radical remarks. However, the facts have not been formed, and they can be arrested and brought into Beijing, and the name of jade can be removed and supervised. At the same time, it is necessary to reward the clans who have made meritorious contributions in the anti-gold resistance to show their grace! Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, his punishment can be described as a mercy, but the two of them saved their heads, but if they lose their clan status, they will have no royal protection, and some of the future days will be over.

"Brother obeys!" The two brothers looked at each other and replied in unison. The official family did a good job, and with a pull and a beat, it warned those restless clans, set an example for those who were loyal, and maintained the unity of the clans.

"Your Majesty. Now that the clan has returned one after another, some people are very depressed, and the household department can't come up with this lot of money. It needs to be solved urgently! Zhao Shu said again.

"Well, I've thought about it. I would like to set up a few imperial estates to be jointly managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Grand Sect Shoji, and allocate a part of the money every year to solve the needs of the unofficial clans. Zhao said. In addition, I want to send some of my close sects to live in Luoyang, Xijing, so that the clan will not be wiped out again! ”

"Great idea!" The brothers nodded again.

"Sixth brother, we must also pay close attention to the preparation of the sect, and in the future, the awarding of officials and rewards should be related to this, in addition, we must control the number of officials, the daughter of the sect should marry, and the son-in-law's family should also be cautious, and it should not be overflowing!" Zhao Ta advised, "I heard that some people took advantage of the turmoil to pretend to be the clan to harm, you must strictly investigate and punish them severely, so as to correct the atmosphere!" ”

"Your Majesty, if the clan moves to Luoyang as a precaution, is it closer to the Jingshi, or is it better to move to Jiangnan?" Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment and said.

"Luoyang is surrounded by natural dangers, how can it be so easy to fall, this time the Jin army was able to capture Luoyang because of the disrepair of the city defense, the vassals made mistakes, even if there is a danger, you can also transfer to Sichuan and Shaanxi, for my Zhao clan to retain a vein, if you go to Jiangnan, you will lose the Central Plains, Jiangnan is also difficult to permanent!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, my brother understands, and I am willing to go to Luoyang to renovate the city defense and repair the palace in case it is needed!" Zhao Qi reacted quickly, the emperor's brother moved the idea of moving the capital, the Jurchens repeatedly came to the city, Bianjing is indeed dangerous as the capital, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be a king of a country like the emperor's brother who can fight well in every generation.

"Okay, after New Year's Day, you will choose a group of clan relatives to go to Luoyang and be responsible for the repair of Luoyang!" Zhao Ta nodded with satisfaction and said, after this chaos, many things have become logical, it seems that the words of the great chaos and great rule make sense, the matter of moving the capital has been controversial for a hundred years, maybe he can really achieve it...

Kaifeng is located at the intersection of the North China Plain and the Huanghuai Plain, the key area of the Central Plains, extending in all directions, especially the water and land wharves, the transportation of Daliang City during the Warring States Period is convenient I have already said in detail above, since the Han Dynasty, Kaifeng has built a Bianqu. During the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal was dug as the main artery connecting the north and the south. The middle section of the Grand Canal is the Bianhe River, which connects the Yellow River with the Huai River. Located in the Bianhe River is Kaifeng, occupy the great profit of the world's luck, destined to its prosperity, to the Tang Dynasty Kaifeng has been a convenient metropolis by land and water.

However, Kaifeng's geographical conditions make it unworthy of being the capital of a country. The main threat to the Central Plains at that time was still from the Khitan in the north, and the Khitan people set out from Youzhou to the foot of the Yellow River for a distance of only more than 1,200 miles, and all the way to the plain. The cavalry can arrive in just a few days, as long as the Khitans cross the Yellow River, Kaifeng will be directly exposed to the enemy's swords and guns, and there is really no danger to defend. Moreover, at that time, there was a freezing phenomenon in the Yellow River in winter, and it was really a flat river, and there was no danger to defend, and the attack must be overcome.

And Luoyang, with Hangu Pass in the west and Tiger Pass in the east, is one of the most dangerous passes in the world, because these two passes prevented Qin from advancing westward for nearly a hundred years. Then again, the danger of the key was destined to have the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Luoyang, due to the continuous war and blockage of the canal, the terminal of the canal has become Kaifeng. But Emperor Yang of Sui was able to open the Grand Canal in Beijing-Hangzhou, is it a problem to dredge the canal now? In fact, as long as you want to do it, you can not only dredge but also expand, and the disadvantage of the inconvenient waterway in Luoyang City can be made up.

When Zhao Kuangyin's cause of unifying the world came to an end, he also realized the natural defects of Kaifeng, and he proposed to move the capital to Luoyang, and the ancestral tomb was intentionally built in Gong County. However, his proposal was collectively opposed by the ministers, who thought that Luoyang's transportation was inconvenient, and most of the food needs of the capital needed to be transported by water from the south, and without the convenience of the Bianhe River, the food and clothing of the people in the capital would become a problem, and the capital could not be moved from this level. Especially Zhao Guangyi, whose political base at that time was in Bianjing, and his opposition was even more fierce, and he said that the selection and construction of the national capital was "not in danger in Germany".

At that time, some people also suggested that Luoyang or Chang'an should sit in the capital first, and then slowly start to transfer, and slowly transfer the country's political power to accompany the capital, and the goal of moving the capital could be reached later.

A year later, Zhao Kuangyin died violently, Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, and Kaifeng's title as the capital of the Song Dynasty was unshakable. In view of the geographical weakness of Kaifeng City, he creatively implemented the policy of "taking morality as a risk and taking the army as a solidity", and his children and grandchildren also unconditionally implemented his policy, but today his children and grandchildren also paid for their own selfish interests and almost lost the country.

Zhao Ta felt that Zhao Kuangyin had more vision than Zhao Guangyi, in the final analysis, Zhao Guangyi's 'taking virtue as a risk' was just an illusion, the life-and-death contest between the two countries, virtue was just a verbal talk, and infinite morality would only lead to self-destruction. 'Taking the army as a solidity' means that almost half of the country's troops are stationed in Kaifeng City, about hundreds of thousands, and this number varies in each period. This is redundant soldiers, and redundant soldiers bring redundant expenses. The redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses that made the people of the Song Dynasty desperate were caused by two just because of the geographical defects in Kaifeng, which doomed Song Fu to not be strong......

Historical facts tell us that the grief and sadness experienced can also be pasted and re-copied. Isn't it careless to look back on the past? The war between the Central Plains and the nomads in the north lasted for thousands of years, and he did not believe that he had the ability to solve this eternal problem, and he could only take it step by step to prevent it from happening... (To be continued......)
