On December 1, Yang Yi died of illness. On the 9th, the crown prince officially took charge of the country.

Although Ding Wei became the prime minister, at this time, someone who was more difficult than Kou Zhun and Li Di had suddenly killed back: Wang Qinruo! His return made Zhao Heng's long-ailmented heart feel some warmth. Zhao Heng began to obviously recover some of his memory, and whenever he and Wang Qinruo met, he seemed extremely sober and happy. This made Ding Wei very uneasy. And Wang Qinruo quickly became favored, his part-time job in the East Palace was actually the crown prince Taibao, one level higher than Ding Wei's prince young master!

The real crisis suddenly appeared, which caught Ding Wei off guard. That day, Zhao Heng, who was chatting, suddenly said, "Why doesn't Aiqing go to the director of the political affairs hall"

Ding Wei suddenly became nervous, and saw Wang Qinruo reply, "Your Majesty, the minister is not the prime minister, how can he be the director of the political hall?"

Zhao Heng did not prepare, did not discuss, and did not give any time for controversy and opposition, and a eunuch rushed to the political hall with Wang Qinruo on the spot, and Prime Minister Wang started to work like this!

The onlookers were dumbfounded, whether this was another faint move by Zhao Heng, but the emperor's order was the emperor's order, and what he said was the truth! Everyone could only watch Wang Qinruo's restoration succeed, only Ding Weiji stabilized, and ordered - set up wine! Catch the wind for Lord Wang!

The guests and hosts were happy, and when they were almost drunk, the question finally surfaced: where is Wang Qinruo's position? Prime Minister, Vice-Minister, or Deputy Minister? Ding Wei smiled slightly, "In accordance with the holy decree, treat Wang Qinruo in the political hall" That's all! What the? You said that the emperor personally said that he wanted Wang Qinruo to come back as a "director"? Very good! But when did the prime minister depose the prime minister and not order it from the emperor himself? But after that, didn't the Hanlin scholar have to write an edict, and then convene hundreds of officials to announce it in public, and then it could officially take effect? Don't these Wang adults understand? Or do you want the prime minister to be underrepresented in future work?

On that day, Wang Qinruo reluctantly finished the meal, walked out of the political hall step by step, and said to the eunuch who accompanied him, "Please tell Your Majesty, without an edict, the minister cannot work here." And then the edict really came down. It's just that the "prime minister" was changed to "the prime minister", and Wang Qinruo was appointed as the Tongping Zhangshi judge of Henan Mansion.

In this year, Li Deming moved the capital from Xiping Mansion to Huaiyuan Town (now Yinchuan, Ningxia) and renamed it Xingzhou, but still did not complete the great cause of founding the country. It will take 18 years to wait until 18 years later, Li Yuanhao, the son of his god and demon reincarnation, to create that Western Xia Kingdom!

In March of the 5th year of Tianxi (1021), the Great Food Country sent an envoy to ask for marriage again. The Great Khitan married the daughter of the royal family Hu Sili as a princess. On November 13, the eldest son of Liao Shengzong, who was born more than 6 years ago, Yelu Zongzhen, the king of Liang, was made the crown prince.

Wang Qinruo, who had been away for more than a year, suddenly asked to return to Beijing on the grounds that he was sick and had to take a long sick leave. Sick? Ding Wei's first instinct is that Wang Qinruo's thief heart is immortal! But he can't stop it, not to mention that the emperor never forgets his old affection for him, he is an ordinary official. I didn't work sick and died of illness outside Beijing. Come back then! Ding Wei first used the power of the prime minister to suppress Wang Qinruo's leave slip for several days, and then quietly sent someone to bring him a message: The emperor misses you very much, you don't have to wait for the imperial court to approve it, just go back to Beijing directly if you are sick, and the emperor will not be surprised.

Wang Qinruo was very moved, recalling that in the past, he and the emperor had such a friendship! All right. Sail back to Beijing! When I entered Kaifeng City, I saw Ding Wei, "What are you doing when you come back?" Leaving his post without an order is too lawless, right? What the? A message from someone I sent? What about the evidence?" Wang Qinruo was speechless, 17th. He was demoted again, and he went out of Beijing again without stopping - you can do it with the surname Ding! Kaifeng City will be given to you! Your shameless appearance really has the style I had back then!

"Ding Wei's Adultery" has come to an end here, why would Ding Wei have such a great honor to leave his own chapter in the "Song History Chronicles"? Because the fight is forgivable, the bullying is intolerable! The Emperor was in a coma. You dare to lie to your face and deceive the king, how despicable! So after he was knocked down, he didn't have the experience of going up and down like Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo. Because the latter 2 people have never betrayed their emperor fundamentally!

On February 15, the first year of Qianxing (1022), the emperor entered a semi-coma, and on the 19th, he came to the end of his life in Yanqing Palace... Zhao Heng, the 3rd emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, died!

What should we say about this emperor? He inherited a mess from his big slut father, but when he died, he laid the foundation for his son's prosperity in Renzong! To be honest, if later generations say that the Qing Shengzu Kangxi is the emperor who is "called inheritance, and the truth is the same as creation", so the temple number should be named "ancestor", then Zhao Heng also did basically the same thing. Kangxi Ping three feudatories, Taiwan, Qingning Northern Xinjiang, Zhao Heng's life experience is also like this, to say the difference, only between the size of the fruit. There is a pattern in Chinese history that almost every dynasty has had an extremely dangerous and difficult bottleneck period in the first forty or fifty years after its establishment, when the second or third emperor was established. This is the case with Xia Shang Zhou, Qin Sui, and even a brilliant and powerful super dynasty like the Tang Dynasty: more than 60 years later, there was Wu Zetian. What is the reason for this? Is it a coincidence? Or is it that every dynasty began to calm down from the excitement of the founding of the country at this time, the original powerful kings and founding ministers have also died, the disadvantages have appeared, the subjects have begun to doubt, and the internal and foreign states have begun to rebel, so they will be completely defeated? It's too complicated, and each dynasty has its own specifics. But no matter what, now it is Zhao Heng's turn to bear all this, and the complexity and danger of the situation he faces far exceeds that of Hu Hai, the second Qin II, Yang Guang, and the third Tang Li Zhi... No matter how much he prayed for peace, he couldn't close the door and spend a few days of his life. Because he has evil neighbors: Khitan, Dangxiang...

Under the management of Zhao Heng, the country began to have money, and the people began to have food, and even in the later period, he used Chongbao to buy back the drought-tolerant new rice varieties "Zhancheng Rice" from the Zhancheng State and the new mung bean varieties from Xi Tianzhu, which were successfully tried in the inner courtyard of his palace and promoted to the world.

But he also wasted a lot of time. The opportunity of the Great Song Dynasty to work hard was in vain, and the east and west were the stains of Zhao Heng himself, and it was the sorrow of the Song Dynasty back then...

As a big agricultural country, he didn't do the two most important things: 1. Inventory the land of the whole country. 2. Rectify the agricultural tax system.

and Zhao Heng let Li Deming go in vain, so that the future Western Xia Kingdom will sit big, which will become a nightmare for the Northern Song Dynasty in the future! The Song Dynasty lost the last piece of land in the Zhenzong Dynasty where horses could be obtained outside the Saiwai. Since then, whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, there has never been a qualified war horse in the local area, unless it can be grabbed like Yue Fei. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty should exercise your legs and feet, and you have to practice jumping up and cutting people again, who told you to not take a few steps more to save Lingzhou?

Overall. Zhao Kuangyin laid a foundation for the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi set the style for the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Heng set the taste for the Great Song Dynasty - the prosperous and encompassing literati paradise. And the next Renzong Dynasty will be the most civilized, richest, and most enlightened prosperous era that has been sung by later generations through the ages, how fascinating!

Someone told me that the Zhao and Song royal families had genetic diseases. I partially agree with this statement. Song Zhenzong was made out of neurosis by Feng Chan, Song Shenzong was angry with the law, Song Guangzong was scared out of neurosis by thunder and lightning, and Song Duzong was in addition to having extraordinary needs for women, all other idiots and the famous idiot emperor Jin Hui Emperor had a fight. There were a total of 15 emperors with independent ability in the two Song Dynasty, but 4 of them had nervous problems one after another. The proportion is more than 1/4... I'm afraid this can only be answered by the genetics of familial neuropathy...

How could the Song Dynasty be so strong that it was "poor and weak"? How can so many virtuous ministers and good ministers be "redundant and tired of government"? How could so many elite soldiers and famous generals be wiped out? You can find countless examples to prove these things from the specific national politics of the Song Dynasty. But you can't find out why Zhao Heng suddenly became a god like a genetic mutation, chatting with all kinds of immortals all day and night, and writing letters to each other, and also found his own immortal ancestors, building temples that are taller than the other, completely hollowing out the national strength, leaving an unprecedented bad mess for the later gods, forcing him to change the law to survive. Unexpectedly, it backfired, causing the country's situation to plummet and become uncontrollable, burying the evil roots of the country's extinction. You can't even find anything for a hundred years later. No matter what method the Jin soldiers used, they couldn't break through the Kaifeng City Wall, which was smashed or smashed, opened the gate by itself, allowing the Jin soldiers to rush into the city without much effort and do whatever they wanted... The reason for these must be found in the complex and fragile hearts of the rulers of the Song Dynasty.

Specifically, their fanatical fascination with religion.

In fact, it started with Zhao Kuangyin. Superstitious religion is inseparable from the Great Song Dynasty. During the Chai Rong period, Zhao Kuangyin benefited from the proverb of "check as the Son of Heaven", and then Chen Qiao mutinied. With the superstition of "one day and one day", he conquered the heart of the Later Zhou army. Thinking about it earlier, why did Zhao Kuangyin leave so many legends related to Buddhists in the first 1 year or so? The monk gave him food, gave him a donkey, gave him money, and instructed him to go to the north to find opportunities... Is that really the case? No! Here's the deal. It is the reward of Zhao Kuangyin's policy of changing Chai Rong to destroy Buddha. The monk used the invisible power of religion to constantly improve the image of Zhao Kuangyinren as the king, and even the image of the destiny of heaven, so that the people of the world were more logical and willing to be his people. And the more careful you are, the more confident you are - God and Buddha bless... Zhao Kuangyin was born an emperor, and it's not wrong to follow him...

And Zhao Guangyi believes in Taoism. Soon after he became the governor of Kaifeng, he sent people to the Beidi Palace to worship a true monarch, saying that Zhao Guangyi wanted to repair the temple and decorate the golden body. But Zhenjun suddenly spoke - "In the future, the second king of the Taiping Monarch Song Dynasty will build the Taiping Shangqing Palace" and the Northern Emperor Palace, "This palace has been built by the heavens, and now is not the time" Zhao Guangyi was shocked when he heard this, and the people who heard this rumor were even more shocked, presumably they looked at Zhao Guangyi after that, and there was a circle of light flickering behind the big slut's head.

Returning to the past of Zhao Kuangyin's sudden death on a snowy night, some of those bizarre legends have been included in "Fu Ruizhi of National History". If there is a "black general" who descends on the house of Zhang Shouzhen, a common man in Xuanyi County, claiming to be the general of the Jade Emperor in the sky, he says the words "The voice is like a baby, only Shouzhen understands" Because he has said that he must be true, Zhang Shouzhen has become a Taoist priest since then. According to the history of the Song Dynasty, after Zhao Kuangyin fell ill, he ordered Wang Jien to go to Jianlong Temple to set up Jiao to pray for blessings, and what he asked for was the "Black Evil General" served by Zhang Shouzhen. And the king of Jin has a benevolent heart. "Zhao Guangyi took the throne, and since then he has also had the legitimacy of the mandate of "one day at a time".

But that was later, back when Zhao Guangyi had just ascended the throne, he suddenly changed his face and ordered - the world prohibits the private study of astronomical divination and other books, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! And in the second year, he ordered nearly 300 people from all over the country to be transported to Beijing for separate examinations. There are more than 60 qualified people, and they stay in Si Tianjian to work on the spot. The rest were tattooed on their faces and sent to Salmon Island as prisoners.

The power of the human heart is infinite, and the power of religion is directed at the human heart - society is made up of people, and people are governed by the mind, and if you can dominate one person's mind, you can dominate that person, and if you can dominate the mind of all people, you will be able to conquer the whole society.

Religion is the best way to achieve this desire. Only by first capturing the hearts of the people can Zhao Guangyi further transform the Song Dynasty and create an officialdom that he likes and can use handily.

When he arrived at Zhao Heng, he emphasized that the three teachings of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" were parallel, regardless of thickness and thinness... But as long as those who are interested compare the Taoist temples cultivated in the Song Dynasty and the number of scriptures collated, they will immediately know which side of the mainstream of Taoism at that time was...

Let's learn from Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty later, "The Rich don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of bells in the book." There is no need to erect tall buildings to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book. The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and the six classics are read to the window" (to be continued......)
