[Although Zhao Ji has some similarities with Li Yu, the two of them still have essential differences. 】

[When Li Yu ascended the throne, the Southern Tang Kingdom had already begun to crumble, although Li Yu had been working hard to govern the country and wanted to restore the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the foundation of the Southern Tang Dynasty had been destroyed, and there was no chance to turn over. 】

[But Zhao Ji's situation is very different, and it can even be said that he single-handedly ruined the best future of the Song Dynasty. 】

[When Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, the economy of the Song Dynasty was still very good, but Zhao Ji himself was not interested in politics and knew nothing, so he made many decrees based on intuition and preference. 】

[For example, Gao Yu, a big traitor, was promoted to a high position just because he played well and just satisfied Zhao Ji's hobbies, and even became an official lieutenant.

He had no military exploits, spoiled the camp, invaded the barracks, and occupied the forbidden army with a wide range of private interests, which led to the "lax discipline" and "lack of military and political repair" of the forbidden army, so that when the Jin soldiers attacked, the forbidden army dispersed in a hurry. 】

"My God, this brother is really human, it's really all based on personal preference!"

"Even if this kind of emperor doesn't die in the country, he is not far from the country."

[Zhao Ji also re-implemented the "rice field affairs". 】

[The institution "Rice Field Affairs" was established in the Five Dynasties, and was once engaged in the Later Tang Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty, and was a government-run institution specializing in rice production.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was also carried out in Ruzhou, and the specific method was that the government set up institutions to recruit peasants to cultivate and set up "regimental heads" to manage these peasants.

In essence, this thing is equivalent to a government-run farm, and the peasants in it are equivalent to laborers recruited by the government-run farm.

However, because the economic efficiency of the government-run farms was too low, it was far less cost-effective than handing over the land to the peasants to cultivate freely and then levying taxes, so the "rice field affairs" in Yeju were abolished around the time of Song Renzong. 】

[Then the question arises: since the old rice field service has been abolished, and the fields under its management have long been allocated to the people, where does the government-run land needed to rebuild the "rice field service" come from? 】

[Answer: People! 】

[The implementation of rice field affairs has allowed many people to live a poor life again.

Because of the confiscated public land, farmers who want to grow crops here must first pay taxes.

And often, after paying the taxes, the peasants do not have much grain left. 】

[What's even more terrifying is that those low-level officials and bullies also began to exploit the people at the same time, forcing them to levy more taxes, which eventually led to a peasant uprising. 】

[It took a long time for the Song State to suppress this uprising, and I originally thought that Zhao Ji would recognize his mistakes after this incident, and then reflect on it. But in the end, he didn't regret it at all, and he only thought about decorating the palace and collecting calligraphy and paintings. 】

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed: "I can see that this Zhao Ji does not have the consciousness of being the king of a country at all. ”

Li Shimin said very sadly: "It is the misfortune of the people to hand over the country to such people. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said in a tone of hatred: "If you don't want to be the emperor, why don't you give it to someone who can be the emperor?" ”

Zhu Di: "In addition to his own pleasure, this person doesn't care about the life and death of the people, this kind of emperor, my Ming Dynasty shouldn't have it, right?" ”

[Zhao Ji himself has no intention of governing the country, and does whatever he wants according to his own preferences.

He did not listen to the advice of his loyal ministers, but he was carried away by the advice of the wicked.

A powerful empire was destroyed in his hands like this, which was a great shame for the Song Dynasty. 】

"Nope! No! I am the Lord of the Holy Wisdom! My Great Song Dynasty far surpasses all previous dynasties, Cai Jing and Gaoqiu all said so! ”

Zhao Ji still refused to believe it, his current mood was broken.

But the video ignored Zhao Ji's collapse and continued to play.

[At the end of the seventh year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, a strange scene suddenly appeared in the Bianliang Palace. 】

[Zhao Ji, the Great Song Dynasty official and Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly fell from the throne without warning, and then fell heavily to the ground, only to see the emperor who was still alive just now, at this time his mouth and eyes were crooked, his whole body convulsed, and he soon fell into a coma in a painful groan. 】

[The emperor suddenly fell ill with a strange disease, and the hall was suddenly in a hurry, and the ministers were at a loss for this, and the eunuchs and palace maids took turns to stroke their backs and rub their chests, serve tea and water, and the imperial doctor rushed to hear the news, prescribe the pulse, decoction and test the medicine, and urgently feed. 】

[After a long period of busy work for everyone, the unconscious emperor finally woke up.

He opened his mouth to speak, but only a few muffled syllables came out of his throat.

He struggled to gesture with pen and paper, and then wrote a small line of small words with his left hand crookedly—I have no more than half of it, what a big deal! ”。 】

[Seeing this, the entire hall also fell into silence, and the surrounding civil and military officials looked at each other.

Until this time, everyone suddenly understood the emperor's intentions, and it turned out that Zhao Ji's sudden onset of strange illness was just a premeditated performance. 】

[Later, another scene was staged in this palace that seemed extremely absurd and bizarre in the entire history of feudal dynasties:

In front of the eyes of everyone in the vertical arch hall, Zhao Ji, as the emperor and father, was very vocal and resolute, and insisted on giving the Zen position to his son Zhao Heng!

And Zhao Ji's son Zhao Huan cried loudly, unwilling to obey his fate, and resolutely did not want to be the emperor! 】

[In people's hearts, it represents the supreme throne, and the supreme power that once made countless brothers turn against each other and kill each other, but now in the eyes of this father and son, it has become a poison that urges life!

But in the end, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and Zhao Heng was almost forced to change into a crown and a dragon robe, and then he was held hostage to the Funing Palace, and ascended the throne to become the new master of the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

Li Shimin had mixed feelings in his heart, he thought that if his father could be so "enlightened", why would he do such a thing that poked people's backbone?

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?"

Of course, there are also emperors who can see the strangeness at a glance.

[For Zhao Ji, Zhao Heng will stage such a farce? ] 】

[It turned out that when they were passing the buck to each other, the Jurchen Iron Cavalry was surging south from the east and west! 】

[There are only less than two years left before the occurrence of that great humiliation, and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty has entered the final countdown! 】

"Northern Song Dynasty? Perish? ”

"The Jurchen Iron Rider Goes South?!!"

"I'm going to die??"

Zhao Ji's capital was in chaos in an instant!

Zhao Ji's son, Zhao Heng, even had the idea of packing up and running away at this moment.

[Jingkang, a name that makes all the Han people the most sad, sad and unsettled! ] 】

[In the first year of Jingkang, a large number of Jin troops flocked to the wide open Xuanhua City Gate of Bianliang! 】

[The outer city was lost, the Jurchens began to burn and loot wantonly, and nearly a million innocent Kaifeng people began to crowd and stample in the war, or crying, or wailing, or running with the flow of people in a daze, not knowing where to go. 】

The video shows the footage of the people being wantonly slaughtered by the Jurchens after the city was broken.

Seeing this familiar city being so spoiled by foreigners, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were cracked, and his nails were deeply sunk into flesh and blood, "Bastard thing!" I'm going to kill you!! ”

His words were not only aimed at the Jurchens, but also at the two emperors who did nothing - Song Huizong and Song Qinzong.
