Militarily, Zhao Ta was confident that he would repel the Jurchen attack, but the problems he was facing now were not only military problems, but also political and moral problems, if he did not handle it well, he would become a rebel, not only could not get support, but ruined his years of accumulation, so that he did not dare to speak lightly to send troops, because he came to an era of 'monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons', 'self-deeds are also respectful, and things are also respectful'.

In the development of Confucianism, Confucius has condensed the idea of loyalty to the monarch into a dogma that distinguishes right from wrong, which has affected the historical changes of thousands of years, and the rulers have used various means to strengthen this consciousness in order to protect their own interests.

Strict hierarchical thinking cultivated a servile personality, thus becoming a pattern in which the elite class of society faithfully served the supreme ruler, and this spiritual standard of judging right and wrong spread to the people and gradually formed a social culture, thus establishing a social system of centralized power of the Chinese monarchy.

However, there are insurmountable internal flaws in China's centralized monarchy system, that is to say, there is no reform mechanism within society, and social reform can be achieved without revolution or even bloodshed.

In order to deal with the social crisis in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shenzong appointed Wang Anshi to change the law, hoping to achieve the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army through the change. However, since the promulgation of the new law, Wang Anshi has encountered opposition from his colleagues. All kinds of criticism are rising, and Wang Anshi, a reformer, is giving him a knighthood in the toss of reuse. The goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army has never been achieved!

It is precisely because these internal social reforms are difficult to carry out that small-scale internal contradictions cannot be resolved. Eventually, small contradictions eventually became a big unsolvable social problem, leading to the intensification of contradictions, social crises, and eventually wars, and the overthrow of the last dynasty, or the weakening of internal contradictions, and thus the destruction of the nomads, the sworn enemies of the Central Plains nations!

However, this does not mean the defeat of the Central Plains civilization, and the barbaric and backward civilization can conquer the advanced civilization in terms of strength. But they can never mentally control advanced civilizations. As a result, after the convergence of the two civilizations, the relatively advanced agricultural civilization of the Central Plains gradually assimilated the nomadic civilization, and finally established a traditional feudal monarchy centralized dynasty with each other.

And then everything starts from the beginning, and the cycle repeats itself...

Zhao Ta worked hard to change his fate and change the fate of the Great Song Dynasty, so he went to the temple and the field to straighten out all kinds of relationships in between. Toughness and compromise go hand in hand to solve many problems.

In Xiangyi, for the development of Zhuangzi, in order to lay his own foundation, to earn the first pot of gold. He changed the face of poverty in the local area, gave the people a good life, and won their love. A new type of army was created, but he was only six years old at that time. For the long-term peace and stability of the Great Song Dynasty, he did not hesitate to risk his life. It was ordered to pacify Jiangnan and punish corrupt officials. In order to change the bad habits in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.

In order to be able to make the Great Song Dynasty have the ability to fight against the Jurchens, it can be said that he tried his best, did not hesitate to play tricks, tarnished his name, and sent himself to the poor land of the northwest. When he arrived in Hedong, he reorganized his army and attacked Western Xia twice, recovered thousands of miles of land for the Great Song Dynasty, and trained a modern army that could sweep through the northwest. In order to gain strategic space for the Great Song Dynasty, he did not hesitate to risk treason to cultivate and establish a puppet regime in the Liao State, in order to confront the Jurchens and give the Great Song a chance to change its development.

But when the matter came to an end, he suddenly found that although he was rich and invincible, he still could not get rid of the confinement of this centralized system and traditional thinking, and he was defeated in front of it. With his departure, Jiangnan only left him a reputation of 'blue sky', corrupt officials and corrupt officials ran rampant everywhere, and the officialdom was still dark.

He has been working hard in Hedong for many years, but he has to leave obediently with just a holy decree and disband the iron army he created. The world has not changed because of him, the wheel of history has crushed his efforts to pieces, and his efforts are just a few bubbles in the long river of history, which makes Zhao Ta extremely frustrated...

But complaining is complaining, the sun will not stop rising and setting because of your dissatisfaction, and the Jurchens will not stop moving south because of you, Zhao Ta knows that the day of the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty is not far away, and he has to continue to struggle!

Yang Shi and Zhou Xingji have followed the 'Ercheng' two great Confucians to study for many years, taught by famous teachers, immersed in Confucian classics for many years, are the world's famous masters, the leader of the academic world, the founder of the important school of Confucianism, can be called the tide of this era, Zhao Ta hopes to get their advice, seeking a middle way, so he invited the two senior counselors in the palace to ask for advice in the name of the night banquet.

"The heart of the prince to serve the country can show the sun and the moon, and leading the army to serve the king is also the righteousness of loyalty and filial piety, but it is taboo to act without the emperor's order, according to the old man's view, the prince should be on the table again, although His Majesty is the first to take charge of state affairs, but he is also a holy person, and he will understand the prince's sincere heart!" Yang Shi still has trust in the prince's character, otherwise he would not follow him.

"Mr. Kameyama's words are reasonable, but now there are traitors in the court, I am afraid that they will do villain things to deceive the saints, such as the prince frequently writes books, but misinterprets the prince's heart to serve the country!" Zhou Xingji still has reservations about Yang Shi's statement.

"Eh, Uncle Gong is too worried!" Yang Shi waved his hand and said, "The Holy Lord has issued an order to open up the way, and the wise people have said that even if there are traitors in the court, how dare they disobey the will!" ”

"Mr. Guishan, most of the current people in the court are Cai Jing and Wang Hao's henchmen, they control the government and have a gap with the prince, how can they tell the truth, these people don't get rid of difficulties and pay off the Pingshi realm!" After Zhou Xingji joined the office, he was a petty official of six or seven grades, and he had been mixed at the bottom for many years, so he naturally understood the darkness of officialdom more than Yang Shi, and hated these people more.

"Yes, traitors sit in the court, corrupt the government, and loyal people have no way to serve the country, I only hope that the saint can get rid of the traitor party as soon as possible!" Yang Shi wrote a letter of impeachment back then, but he was disgraced and dismissed, and he was also a little depressed.

"In that case, what about our teachers in the name of 'resisting foreign humiliation and clearing the king'?" Zhao Ta understood, the two of them didn't jump out of the word monarch and minister, and they didn't get to the point after talking for a long time, so they had to give them a topic by themselves, since you think that the traitor is in the court, let's go to the side of Qingjun.

"This..."The prince gave himself a problem at this time, Zhou Xingji thought for a moment and said, "Although the teacher is famous, Wang Hao and others are all former ministers of the emperor, if the prince uses this as a teacher, he may fall into the name of unfilial piety!" ”

"It's not appropriate at this time, the prince is doing righteousness, but now that the golden thieves are coming to the city, it is easy for people to misinterpret it, thinking that the prince has a heart of disobedience, and intends to seize the throne, which may damage the prestige of the prince!" Yang Shi said.

"Well, it makes sense, but it's wrong at the moment, let's have a drink!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, he himself realized that this knot would indeed give people a sense of uniting foreign enemies to force the palace.

"In the past few days, the prince has been worried about state affairs, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he is worried, which makes the villain feel distressed!" Seeing that Xi filled everyone with wine, he asked people to serve two plates of roasted venison and said.

"The prince doesn't have to worry, the so-called heroes of troubled times, when the country is in trouble, the true colors of heroes are revealed, and at this moment, the prince can rest assured and watch the changes!" Yang Shi took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"The big waves are sweeping the sand, the loyalty and treachery are fully displayed, the prince is the dragon and phoenix among the people, brave and unparalleled, loyal and filial piety, there will be a place for use!" Zhou Xingji echoed.

"The two gentlemen praise, how can this king afford the word hero!" Zhao Ta waved his hand, but he could already hear the sound of the two of them.

In fact, the turmoil of a country on the other side does not mean a great change, the Great Song Dynasty as the lord of the Central Plains since the founding of the country for a hundred years, has accumulated too many burdens and contradictions, it is difficult to return to the Shan Shan Secret, today may be painful, but this pain is nothing compared to the future destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. Throughout history, not all changes have paid a heavy price, and the current pain may be the beginning of the revival of the Great Song Dynasty.

"What does the prince think of the Jinren taking the initiative to negotiate peace this time?" Yang Shi asked again.

"According to the shallow view of this king, the reason why Han Li did not propose peace is because he quickly penetrated into the hinterland of my Great Song Dynasty, and it seems that the brave and invincible soldiers are approaching the city, but in fact, it is already the end of the strong crossbow. Behind him, the two important towns of Zhongshan and Hejian did not fall, and the city of Kaifeng was thick and thick, and they were difficult to break through for a while, and now they received the text of King Qin, distributed in Hedong, Shaanxi, and Hebei, the elite of the Western Army and the forbidden army of various towns are coming, and the Golden Thief West Road Zong Han Department was blocked in Taiyuan, and Han Li was not worried about falling into the place where the enemy was on his back, so he was in a hurry to negotiate peace! Zhao said.

"Then why does the prince think that the Holy Lord promised to cede the three towns to the Jin army?" Yang Shi asked again.

"The saint first ascended to the great treasure, and under the bewitchment of internal and external troubles, he made a mistake in response, and he was eager to let the Jin army retreat!" Zhao replied.

"Can the prince have thought that the cession of the three towns will definitely cause a stir in the crowd and a boiling of public opinion!" Yang Shi said again.

"Do they dare to disobey?" Zhao Ta suddenly thought of something, and asked with a light in his eyes.

"The sage has a cloud: the gentleman is also in the world, there is no suitability, there is no Mo, and righteousness is compared!" Yang Shidao.

"Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to complete, righteousness comes first!" Zhou Xingji saw that the prince showed a confused look, and stroked his long beard.

"Taught!" Zhao Ta saluted the two of them, although their words were vague, but they helped him open the door that imprisoned him... (To be continued......)
