Chapter 385: It's important to follow the right people
Song dynasty
Since Zhao Kuangyin, the emperors of the Song Dynasty have been silent.
That shocking 17.2 really pierced their hearts.
Except for Zhao Gou, he has no children or daughters, and he can't understand the psychology of an old father.
The emperor who has a daughter thinks that his delicate and soft daughter will be bullied to death, and he really hates it.
After Song Renzong woke up, he lay on the bed and shouted: "Take the princess back, quick, pick up the princess back." ”
He only had to think of his daughter being helpless in a dark room, freezing cold, no one to take care of her, not even a brazier, and the quilt covered with lice was so dirty that her heart felt like she was dripping blood.
Thinking that the princess couldn't stand the cold before she died, but her face was burned, he gritted his teeth with hatred.
The Li family, the Li family......
He remembered that it was his mother's family, and he wanted to make up for it, and he also wanted to elevate the status of the Li family, so that the princess would descend, and the result was ......
Is that how they treat princesses?
Thinking about his daughter who had already married, Song Renzong regretted it.
No wonder the princess has been depressed, and when she comes back, she cries, it turns out that she has suffered a great grievance in the Li family.
The fairy is right, the Li family is not a kind family, if it is really a good family, it is not a princess, in the end, it is also a relative connected with their flesh and blood, it is not too kind, and it has to be passable.
Song Renzong made up his mind that after taking the princess back this time, he would let her and Li Wei reconcile, even if he raised his daughter for the rest of his life, he would never let her marry someone he didn't like.
At this moment, he is also trying to take care of his body, strive to live longer, and teach the princess how to be self-reliant, even if he dies, if the princess can stand up, she will not be bullied like that.
Song Yingzong is also distressing about his daughter.
He is actually an extremely kind emperor.
But no matter how kind a person is, when it comes to his beloved children, he will become an angry beast.
Thinking that his daughter would be bullied like that after she got married, she was trampled into the mud by the surnamed Wang, Song Yingzong's face turned blue with anger.
The crown prince Zhao Ji, who later became Song Shenzong, hurriedly ran in.
"Father, my sister's marriage will be discussed again."
Song Yingzong nodded: "Well, naturally we have to discuss it again." ”
Since he knows that the surname Wang is not a good person, he must not let Bao'an marry him again.
It's not just the Song Dynasty
Many emperors in other dynasties were also thinking about princesses.
However, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty didn't pay much attention to this issue.
Who knows whose daughters that the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are not easy to get along with, they are bullied when they get married? Jokes, it's good that they don't bully their husbands' families, but any princess with a slightly gentler personality will be praised for being extremely virtuous.
Anyway, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty really couldn't imagine what was going on in the Song Dynasty?
How did those emperors of the Song Dynasty raise their daughters?
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not look very good.
After all, the fairy said that the princesses of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty did not have a good life.
Some emperors of the Ming Dynasty began to send messages to ask, and they saw it, but they ignored it, after all, they were talking about the emperors of the Song Dynasty now, and it was impossible to talk about the princesses of the Ming Dynasty again.
Wu Wu looked at it for a while and commented: "Song Shenzong Zhao Ji, the eldest son of Song Yingzong, the sixth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. Song Yingzong died in the fourth year of the reign, and then Song Shenzong succeeded to the throne, Song Shenzong ascended the throne at the age of twenty, it was when he was young, young and flamboyant, full of energy, he has always seen the hidden dangers under the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty, knowing that if there is no reform and change, the Northern Song Dynasty will eventually be like a dilapidated car, and eventually collapsed, dismembered, and died out because of various problems......"
"In the second year after he ascended the throne, he appointed Wang Anshi as the governor to change the law."
"This is also what we often call Wang Anshi's change, we talked about some things about Wang Anshi's change before, here we won't explain it in too much detail, let's just say that Wang Anshi's change ultimately failed."
"As for the reasons for the failure, there are many reasons, one is that the emperor's support is not enough, the other is that the corruption of the officials appointed by the law change is serious, and the other point is that the law change is not flexible enough."
"Wang Anshi is an idealist, he thinks that those officials who support the reform around him are dedicated to the public and eager to carry out a change in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was dragged down by the three redundancies, but he didn't expect that there are many officials who are gathered together for interests, and the reform is just for their own interests, and these people make the change taste of the change."
"Maybe the measures he formulated are good, but the officials at all levels have passed it on like this, and when they reach the bottom, they have become a tool for persecuting the people, and the change of the law has made the lives of many people more difficult than the unchanged law."
"In fact, no matter what kind of change it is, it is inseparable from people, and no matter how good the rules and terms are, it is a piece of waste paper if there is no really suitable person to implement it."
"In addition, the dilemmas faced by different places are also different, because the terrain is different, people's customs are different, and the law is changed, some are suitable, some are not suitable, and if you want to change the law, you can't be the same, you must learn to adapt measures to local conditions."
"In fact, I also want to say that the development of the reform cannot be carried out in a cluster, and it cannot be carried out on a large scale, but it must first be implemented in a small area, and the experiment will be carried out for a year or two, to see the reaction of the people, and then to see what bad aspects of the reform are...... In this way, we are responsible to the state and the people. ”
Sanssouci paused at this point.
"The dynasties are different, the humanities are different, the folk customs are different, how to change the law is more appropriate, I don't know, this needs to be formulated by the monarch and ministers according to the actual situation of their own country, but no matter which dynasty, no matter who it is, you can't be in a hurry, you have to experiment slowly, and then you can choose some more practical officials to assist, so that you can really reform."
"Well, I've talked a little too much, let's talk about Song Shenzong again."
"Generally speaking, Song Shenzong is a young and promising emperor, he wants to reform the ills of the Great Song Dynasty, and wants to change the law to become stronger, but unfortunately, his will is not strong enough, coupled with various reasons, the change failed."
"Well, here we have to talk about the policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force formulated by Song Taizu, the Song Dynasty paid attention to sharing the world with scholars, which led to the civil official group becoming stronger and stronger, and finally coerced the emperor of the Song Dynasty, in many things, the emperor could not be the master at all."
"And it is precisely because the civilian-bureaucratic group is too strong that it has led to the decline of the national strength of the Song Dynasty, and Wang Anshi's reform of the law has led to party strife, there are reformist officials who support the reform of the law, and there are also conservative officials who oppose the change, so that the two factions fight endlessly for their own political ideals, and the struggle has developed for a long time, and it has developed to the point that they do not want to be right or wrong, but only oppose it because of opposition, and this struggle is protracted and long-lasting, so that the Northern Song Dynasty is even more decaying."
"Here we have to praise the ancestors of Great Qin. Look at the changes of others, even if the monarch dies, even if Shang Ying dies tragically, but the reformed Qin law has been inherited, which also makes the great Qin's national strength stronger and stronger, and finally able to dominate the world. ”
"But what about those changes later?"
"Wang Anshi changed the law, and after the death of Song Shenzong, the change was invalidated. Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty changed the law, and as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, the change was also abolished...... From here, it can be seen that many times it is important to be with people. ”
Wu Wu smiled when he said this: "Song Shenzong was thirty-eight years old when he died, which is not considered a long life, and after his death, his son Song Zhezong Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne, which is a rare and powerful emperor in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. ”
