Chapter 329: Savage its body
"Everything is just a matter of strength, and if the emperor makes up his mind to remove a person, he can be removed as long as there are sufficient reasons; If the emperor does not want to remove someone, even if it is temporarily refrigerated, it will be activated again in the near future, and those who impeach will be severely punished! Qin Hui said: "Everything is out of the will!" ”
The emperor's opinion is very important, if you say you can do it, if you can't do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it, and if you can't do it, you can't do it.
The cronies said: "My lord, I don't know how the emperor behaves?" “
"It's hard to say!" Qin Hui said, "The emperor seems to have a simple personality, but in fact, he is the deepest. No matter what state he is, he keeps his calm, and it is difficult for any conspiracy to deceive him, and the only way to deal with him is Yang Mou! ”
"It is difficult for any conspiracy to target him, the emperor is so terrifying?" The cronies were a little incredulous.
Qin Hui said: "Any conspiracy is to arouse the deep desires of people's hearts, and as soon as the desire moves, it will fall into conspiracy and calculation." But today's emperor has no desires, or there are too few things that can arouse his desires. He is not good at wine, he is not good at enjoyment, and even the desire to cut gold is very indifferent. Because of indifference, any conspiracy is full of loopholes in his eyes! If you want to calculate the emperor, it's impossible! ”
"The emperor is determined to go on the Northern Expedition, why is he indifferent to the Northern Expedition?" The cronies were incredulous.
"It's nothing. It's like Emperor Shenzong, always thinking about establishing a thousand years of merit, always thinking about destroying Western Xia, so Wang Anshi changed the law, making the heavens angry and resentful, and Emperor Shenzong also endured it. Just to extinguish the Western Xia, he just attacked the Western Xia in five ways, and returned defeated, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were wiped out. It's all because the mind of making contributions is too heavy. ”
"It's just that the emperor won't do it today. He always calmly watched the Northern Expedition and the news from the Military Intelligence Department, and would not be disturbed by the voice of the DPRK-China peace faction. Nor will the blood boil with the voice of the anti-Kim faction in the DPRK and China. He calmly observed, waiting, like a predatory tiger, with no chance of success, and would never make a move. Once the opportunity to succeed comes, it will be decisive and will not care about everything! ”
"It has no effect on the emperor's conspiracy, don't be careful, you can only use yang conspiracy!"
Qin Hui said.
………………
The Song Dynasty has always adopted the pattern of the emperor and scholars ruling the world together.
Just in a different period. The power structure is different.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the privy envoy was the prime minister, the third envoy was the prime minister, the Zhongshu Shilang was the prime minister, and the governor was also the prime minister. These prime ministers have their own affairs, which is actually equivalent to no prime minister. That kind of monopoly on all power. Above one person. There are almost no prime ministers under 10,000 people. Between the prime ministers, the power restricts each other and complements each other, and it is impossible to monopolize the power at all, and the emperor mediates. Reign supreme.
This pattern is conducive to the balance of power, and although it has caused poor administrative efficiency, it has not caused major problems.
Until. Yuanfeng's reform, that is, the reform of Song Shenzong, and Wang Anshi's reform, broke this situation.
Wang Anshi's change of law was very resistant, so he chose to centralize power and resist the pressure of the opposition, which was also extremely damaging to society, not only harming the interests of the upper strata, but also harming the interests of the people at the bottom. The only benefit is probably that the treasury has money, and it can have sufficient finances to go to destroy Western Xia. Of course, Wang Anshi can't be blamed for this, any reform, any change, always have to pay a price.
However, as long as the foreign war is won, all contradictions can be resolved.
It was like on the eve of the Meiji Restoration, when there were many contradictions and mistakes, but with the victory of foreign wars, all contradictions were covered up and transferred.
It's a pity that the war against Western Xia failed, and it also announced the complete failure of this change.
Yuanfeng reformed the system, Wang Anshi changed the law, broke the restrictions on power between the prime ministers, and made the prime minister's power monopolized, so the problem of monopoly of power appeared in the DPRK and China, Zhang Chun, Cai Jing, Li Gang, and Wang Boyan were in this position. The power is too great, and once you don't have the ability to take responsibility, you will either become a traitor or be exiled.
Without superhuman talents, it's better not to play with power, otherwise you will harm others and yourself.
After Zhao Pu became the emperor, he worked hard to resolve the problem of monopoly of power, and worked hard to return to the pattern before the reform of Yuanfeng, so he established a cabinet. The existence of the cabinet itself is to dismantle the power of the prime minister.
In fact, it was a success!
Wang Boyan's talent is average, and his talent is slightly average, and he really lets him have the power alone, and he can't play it. And after the cabinet is brought in, after the power is shared, the responsibility is also apportioned, and everyone bears the problem together. This invisibly reduced Wang Boyan's pressure a lot.
From the Daimyo's Mansion to Xiangyang, and then to Yangzhou and Hangzhou, it took about more than three years, almost four years, and Wang Boyan served as prime minister, which is considered a long time.
It is only with the stabilization of the political situation and the easing of the war that some contradictions hidden in the past have also erupted again. Some ministers began to exert themselves to pull Wang Boyan down.
After this impeachment, a series of impeachments were submitted one after another, accusing him of acting unfavorably, being greedy for ink, and doing nothing.
Looking at these concerts, Zhao Pu felt a chill in his heart, the party struggle began, and Wang Boyan was about to step down.
"Smack!" Closing the concerto, Zhao Pu felt a little pain in his head.
"Rub it for me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Feeling the feeling of massage on his shoulder, Zhao Pu kept thinking in his heart.
"Someone impeached Wang Boyan, what do you think?" Zhao Pu asked.
"A concubine is a woman. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! Shu Wenxiu said.
"By the way, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!" Zhao Pu nodded slightly, but he was melancholy in his heart. If Wang Wuyue was here, she would never say that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but would only say something.
The disadvantages of the harem politics, he also knows, but now he is completely alone, there are no brothers who can honor guards, no relatives who can honor guards, and he doesn't believe in eunuchs, there are too few trustworthy people, so he can only be a palace politician and participate in some key departments. And some departments, handed over to outsiders, are really not at ease!
"By the way, Xiao Xiuxiu, how are you doing?" Zhao Pu asked.
"Everything is fine, it's just a little lonely, I don't know how my father is!" Thinking of the catastrophe of Bianliang, I think of my father's whereabouts. Shu Wenxiu was constantly sad in her heart.
Zhao Pu comforted: "Don't worry." Your father, who is only a fifth-grade official, is only an insignificant person in the imperial court, and has not been taken away by the Jin army. It seems that there is news that he is now in Yangzhou, and he will soon be in Hangzhou, and your father and daughter will meet again! ”
Shu Wenxiu's father is only a fifth-grade official, and he is an insignificant little person in Leng Yamen. When the Jin army was captured, it became a fish that slipped through the net. And later. After many twists and turns, he was displaced and fell to the south of the Yangtze River.
Shu Wenxiu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Zhao Pu said: "I still like you to call me husband!" ”
"Husband!"
"Alas!" In response, Zhao Pu finally found a hint of sweetness, "Xiao Xiuxiu." Lonely in the palace, how do you usually spend time? ”
Shu Wenxiu said: "And Sister Yue." He often does not live in the palace. Usual time. The concubines played leaf cards with some wives, embroidery, etc. ”
Zhao Pu felt sad in his heart, pitiful! At this time, Xiao Xiuxiu is like a golden bird in a cage, in addition to winning the king's favor and sleeping with the king. There seems to be nothing to do other than having children.
It's like what is written in a book: 'It is a unique human trait to set up all kinds of things in life. Not only set up animals, but also set themselves. We know that there was a Sparta in ancient Greece. Life there is set up to be boring, and its purpose is to make men outlaws, and women to fertility machines, the former like fighting cocks, the latter like sows. These two types of animals are very special, but I thought they would definitely not like their lives. But what if you don't like it? Whether it is a human or an animal, it is difficult to change one's fate. ”
Of course, I'm used to that kind of life, and I don't feel miserable!
Zhao Pu asked, "Do you know how to kick the whack?" ”
"No!" Shu Wenxiu blushed and said, "This is a toy I played with when I was a child!" When I grew up, my father said that I wouldn't play if it was too wild! ”
Zhao Pu said: "Do you know how to jump rope?" ”
"No!"
"Do you know how to keju?"
"No!"
Zhao Pu asked a few sports in a row, and came to the conclusion that he wouldn't, some just played when he was a teenager, and then he wouldn't.
No wonder women in this era do not live long, it turns out that they lack exercise.
In this era, there is little entertainment itself, and some women rarely play sports for the so-called lady image, and entertainment is mostly based on leaf cards.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Zhao Pu's mind, like a meteor.
This thought, which was just a faint fire, quickly turned into a raging fire.
It's just a flash, but it's like a light, and it instantly brightens my mind.
"I see! I understand! I see! Zhao Pu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he laughed wildly, as if he was too excited, tears flowed from his eyes, "Life lies in sports, how can you do without exercise?" Barbarizing its body and civilizing its body, I seem to have found a way to deal with the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
And Shu Wenxiu on the side was at a loss, I don't know why the official family, who has always been calm and calm, would be in such a gaffe.
For a long time, a huge problem was placed in front of Zhao Pu, the poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty.
Poverty is mainly manifested in financial deficiencies. The financial deficit can be compensated for by various means, such as overseas trade, overseas plunder, and the establishment of banks.
Weakness, mainly manifested in not wanting to fight. As we all know, in fact, the people of the Song Dynasty were reluctant to fight, because they were rich, and what the rich wanted was to enjoy life, not to put themselves in the flames of war, so not only did the court not want to fight, the ministers did not want to fight, and the people did not want to fight, especially the people living in Kaifeng.
I'd rather spend money to buy peace, and I'd rather be an emperor than go to war.
This is true from top to bottom.
Under the guidance of this concept, the economic strength of the Song Dynasty was comparable to that of the United States in later generations, but the combat effectiveness of the army was only at the level of Italy.
This was the case in Kaifeng in the past, and the same is true in Hangzhou today.
Jiangnan is too rich, and a rich life will make people forget hatred and shame, and in the end, they will be on one side, and finally the Northern Expedition will become a dream.
In order to change this phenomenon of weakness, Zhao Pu has thought of many methods, such as implementing a compulsory military service system and forcing him to join the army; In terms of public opinion, they have been brainwashed, constantly instilled the concept of war, and constantly instilled a sense of hatred; In terms of education, we will prepare for the military academy and vigorously prepare for the construction of the armed academy; In the war, the army rotated, and the soldiers in Jiangnan were allowed to see blood.
A series of combinations were used to change this phenomenon of weakness.
Just how does it work?
Zhao Pu really has no confidence!
The cow does not drink water and presses the head, although the cow can drink the water, but the effect is really poor.
If you want to transform herbivores into carnivores, the difficulty is not ordinary.
To change the weakness, we must start from the roots, starting with sports for all. Then the national sports movement will shape a new national spirit.
An Olympic Games that created a powerful Greece. At that time, Greece was fragmented, with constant city-states and constant internal friction, but it still resisted foreign invasions again and again.
The reason why the grassland peoples in the north are so strong and powerful is that they hold sports competitions such as horseback riding and archery every year, among which the outstanding ones are rewarded and even become heroes supported by thousands of people.
And the Song Dynasty, why is it so weak. It is because of the Song Dynasty that they are willing to spend a lot of money every year to hold an Oiran conference, a poetry conference, and a sports conference. As a result, the whole people, especially the elite, attach importance to culture and education, despise sports, and become a sissy! (To be continued......)
