Teng Zongliang wanted to ask Zhuge Liang if he came, but after thinking about it, the prime minister must still be working overtime now, where is the time to come to Yueyang Tower to play.

After thinking about it, Teng Zongliang still couldn't hold back, so he asked Zhuge Liang about his recent situation. After hearing that Zhuge Liang had settled in the Zhenguan Dynasty and was teaching at Chang'an Royal University, Teng Zongliang also had the idea of visiting.

The reason why Zhuge Liang chose to settle in Chang'an is also very simple, after all, the Zhenguan Dynasty is the main world, and it is very convenient to go anywhere. In addition, Chang'an has developed science and technology, and Huang Yueying and Zhuge Guo are very yearning for Zhenguan, so Zhuge Liang accepted the invitation to teach at the university.

The main reason is that Zhuge Liang asked Li Qing to accept Zhuge Guo as an apprentice, saying that this woman had a fairy fate.

Li Qing didn't refuse, if it was someone else, maybe he would have declined. But the person who spoke in front of him was Zhuge Liang, who could refuse the prime minister?

The main reason is that Zhuge Guo is also very cute, which is very popular with Li Xiuning, so Li Qing accepted Zhuge Guo as a disciple.

In fact, Li Qing himself would not be able to cultivate immortals......

Speaking of cultivating immortals, there are still two planes left, and you can receive the task reward.

So Li Qing is not in a hurry for a while, just stretch it slowly.

After listening to "The Story of Yueyang Tower", Li Bai on the side ran to Li Shimin's side and began to teach Yuannu to read poetry.

That's right, it's Li Shimin's purple and blue macaw before.

"Dapeng rises with the wind one day!" Li Bai opened his arms and groaned loudly.

"Dapeng rises with the wind one day!" Yuan Nu also spread his wings and rattled to learn Li Bai to speak.

"I think you're really the same kind." Gao Shi complained on the side: "You two have a good time." ”

Li Bai snorted and did not answer, but continued to teach Yuan Nu to recite poetry.

Yuannu's IQ is getting higher and higher, and it is not much different from a teenager, just can't turn into a human.

And his aesthetic is still the appearance of a bird, passing by an eagle falcon, the yuan slave has to judge it.

It's not that there are no eagles and falcons who want to attack him, after taking the elixir, Yuannu's combat power is no weaker than that of an adult brown bear. When he was flying in the sky, he met an eagle falcon that came to catch him, the male bit him to death, and the female took him back to be a little wife.

So what kind of person is this, what kind of pet is there, Wei Zheng complained in private more than once, saying that this yuan slave ...... It has the style of Taizong.

The assembly of Yueyang Tower was very successful, and everyone was very satisfied with the travel in the past few days, especially the food of the Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Kuangyin.

Without him, everyone who understands the external style of the Song Renzong period understands.

Of course, this peace can't be said to be bad, but it's too weak to the outside, once the atmosphere softens, once the bones are broken, it will be difficult to harden and support again......

The soft lying style that began in the two dynasties of Song Zhenzong and Song Renzong was not over until Lao Zhu re-established the Ming Dynasty.

was not idle in Yueyang Tower, and Li Qing dragged Zhuge Liang over again. From the next day, with Zhuge Liang as the leader, the emperors of each dynasty and the famous ministers of each dynasty got together and began to plan for Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal, pointed out the shortcomings, corrected them, and added bricks and tiles, and listed the reform goals in combination with the actual situation of the Great Song Dynasty.

is the so-called three stinkers, better than Zhuge Liang - now a group of Zhuge Liang, can't just beat the stinkers, right?

The day after the amusement ended, Li Qing took Fan Zhongyan to the court.

With the two of them, there is also the ancestor Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Heng, who has verified his identity.

From the first moment he saw Zhao Heng, Zhao Zhen couldn't hold back. Fortunately, this is not the Ming Dynasty, so there will be no famous scene like "Dad, you are not dead".

That Zhao Zhen's fright is not small, think about it, you are an emperor, you have been on the throne for more than 20 years, and suddenly the first emperor was resurrected overnight and came to the court.

What was your first reaction?

Well...... If it was those strange things of the old Gao family in Northern Qi, the first thing might be to directly announce that he was not the first emperor.

But the emperor of the Song Dynasty was still more Buddhist, especially the well-known good old man Zhao Zhen, and he did not question anything about the return of the emperor. And the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty all came from that era, everyone knew Zhao Heng, and it was useless for him to deny it.

The most important thing is that Zhao Zhen is still very confident. He didn't believe that the Manchu Dynasty still wanted to go back to the era when the earth was full of heavenly books and the whole country was full of Zen.

Subsequently, he met Emperor Taizu.

Zhao Zhen is still a little weak-hearted, after all, Taizu's descendants did not become emperors.

There is a famous joke - "Song Zhenzong said in a speech: 'The succession system of the Great Song Dynasty is advanced and superior, and the West will be at this level in a few hundred years - you see, the son of Taizu did not become the emperor.'" ’”

Zhao Heng especially focused on Zhao Zhen's uncle, Yelu Longxu, who is now known as Li Longxu.

As an aside, Yelu Abaoji's Han name is Liu Yi, and in fact, Yelu Longxu should be surnamed Liu.

Li Longxu no longer complains about Zhao Heng now, through studying history, he found that his sad imperial brother has been extinct since Zhao Zhen - Zhao Zhen is Zhao Heng's last son, and Zhao Zhen has no descendants, which shows a problem: The emperors behind him are not Zhao Heng's descendants, so the betrayal of the alliance naturally has nothing to do with the imperial brother.

Yelu Longxu is still relatively open-minded in this regard, he is really, I cry to death.

Seeing that the family recognized each other and was happy, Lao Zhu said happily: "Then I'll tell you a joke too." ”

Hey, Lao Zhu will also make a big joke? Li Qingqi is gone.

Zhao Kuangyin slapped him in the face, and Zhao Zhen, who didn't know what was going on, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang happily, waiting for Uncle Huang to tell a joke.

"Song Taizu told us how to rule, Song Taizong told us how not to rule, Song Zhenzong told us that fools can rule, Song Renzong told us that not all fools can rule." Zhu Yuanzhang finished the joke in one go.

Zhao Kuangyin: ......

Zhao Zhen was still there and asked with a smile: "Ah, who is Song Renzong?" ”

"It's you, my stupid nephew and grandson......" Zhao Kuangyin said with a sigh.

Zhao Zhen didn't come up in one breath, and almost died of infarction.

He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang resentfully, and sighed.

Fan Zhongyan immediately bowed his head again and presented Zhao Zhen with the new deal plan that drew on the strengths of all families.

Zhao Zhen is still very satisfied with Lao Fan's divergence from the topic. But in fact, the failure of the Qingli New Deal is not that the New Deal itself is not inadequate. In fact, the Qingli New Deal alleviated the predicament of the Song Dynasty to a certain extent, and even began to glow with new opportunities, and the various reform measures of Fan Zhongyan and Fubi included "Ming Dethroned", "Suppressing Luck", and "Jinggongju", etc., the central idea was to eliminate incompetent officials, and the core content of the reform was to reduce redundant officials and streamline institutions.

Moreover, the Qingli New Deal also decided to reduce the number of admission places for the imperial examination in order to solve the problem of too many officials. Therefore, the opponents of the reform were by no means a few conservatives, but the entire class of scholars, the class basis of the Northern Song dynasty. If we want to reform, we must sacrifice the interests of the scholar class, and if we sacrifice the scholars, we will shake the foundation of our own rule. Therefore, to break or limit the privilege of the bureaucratic aristocracy will undoubtedly be fiercely opposed by them because it touches the interests of the bureaucratic aristocracy.

Except for a small number of enterprising people of insight, most of the vested interests of bureaucrats, landlords, wealthy businessmen, and other strata of vested interests are satisfied with the status quo and only care about their personal and immediate interests, but do not care about the interests of the state and the long-term interests.

As the New Deal progressed, the opposition continued to rise. The reason why the "Friends Party" was used as a weapon to attack was because the "Friends Party" would endanger the emperor's authority, which in turn would arouse the disgust and suspicion of Renzong Zhao Zhen and violate his core interests. The dispute between friends has always been a dead knot that plagued the political situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, and continued until the Southern Song Dynasty. The Qingli New Deal died because of the dispute between the friends, and Wang Anshi's reform also failed because of the struggle between the old and new parties.

Speaking of which, I have to mention Ouyang Xiu's great cleverness. This byd was afraid that the hammer would not die enough, and wrote a "Friend Theory", and directly handed a knife to someone. It doesn't matter if you are a gentleman's party or a villain's party, you can say whether you are a party or not.

Originally, he was a little complaining about Lao Fan, but after he solved the siege in time, Zhao Zhen also let go of his original little unhappiness.

He took the plan, and the signature on the title page shook his body.

"Qingli's Second New Deal Plan"

Authors: Liu Bang, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Fang Qiao, Yao Chong, Song Jing, etc.

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, glanced at Fan Zhongyan with wandering eyes, and then looked down at the plan in his hand.

Isn't it, Lao Fan, are you playing All-Star with me?

I'll be a friend of you once, what are you doing here?

Pretty chic, huh?

Lao Fan's plan, which is almost performance art, silenced Zhao Zhen at once.

After a long while, he asked astringently, "Liu Bang?" Li Shimin? ”

"Yes, Naigong." Liu Bang was cross-legged on the side, eating the grapes in the hands of the maid.

When Zhao Zhen asked, Liu Bang raised his head and spit out a mouthful of grape skin. It was also a coincidence that the grape skin was directly pasted on Zhao Zhen's eyes......

"Ahh Liu Bang hurriedly said: "Naigong is also careless. ”

Where is Zhao Zhen still in the mood to care about this grape skin, his mood is now in a state of almost collapse.

"Grandpa Taizu, father, this ...... Is this true? Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizongwen of the Tang Dynasty and his ministers wrote this plan? ”

Zhao Kuangyin was also eating grapes, and he wanted to spit on Zhao Zhen's other eye, but unfortunately he vomited crookedly. Lao Zhao didn't feel discouraged, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Otherwise? If you want me to say that you kid is really suspicious, you are a dog-headed, you think about it with your ass, Fan Zhongyan and others will be friends? ”

"The crowd is full of gold, and the bones are destroyed." Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly: "Fan Qing and the others have already violated the interests of most people, even if it is me, I don't dare to fight against so many people, I must slowly figure it out......"

"You have lost the picture of Lao Fan." Li Qing spread his hands and said: "If nothing else, five years later, Fan Zhongyan changed to Yingzhou, and died of illness in Xuzhou at the age of sixty-four on the way to take office with illness. ”

"What? Fan Qing ...... "Zhao Zhen's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Monarchs and ministers have known each other for so many years, and it is impossible to say that they have no feelings. Lao Fan made a lot of efforts to prevent Liu E from acting as the story of the Great Sage Empress. Now that he suddenly heard such bad news, of course Zhao Zhen couldn't accept it.

Speaking of Xuzhou, Li Qing felt that his DNA was a little moved.

In Xuzhou, Li Dai has praised more than five and four times, and the four are not bent and blamed, and he muttered......

"It's not a pity for the minister to die, it's just a pity that the new deal died abruptly, and the Great Song Dynasty ......" Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but shed tears.

Seriously, hearing that he was going to die in a few years was a little unacceptable to anyone.

Since the failure of the New Deal, the conservatives have fought back frantically, social contradictions have become more acute, land annexation has become increasingly serious, redundant military tariffs have doubled, and ethnic contradictions have intensified.

"Aiqing's heart, I already know!" Zhao Zhen nodded heavily and said.

In fact, what kind of situation is now, Zhao Zhen also knows very well in his heart. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, not only did it not inhibit the annexation of land, but also connived at the annexation of land by heroes and generals. Land sales and pawn sales are quite common, the trend of land concentration is accelerating, and the number of peasants losing their land is increasing. Those who are powerful have no land to plant, and those who have land have no power to cultivate."

The burden on the people of the Song Dynasty was heavy. The country's inhabitants are divided into main households and customers. In addition to paying taxes in accordance with the prescribed amount, taxpayers also have burdens such as "transfer" and "conversion". In addition to the two taxes, there are also the Dingkou tax, various miscellaneous taxes, forced labor and errand labor. This is a heavy burden on top of taxes.

It is said that it is rich and Song, but the peasants are quite miserable. It was at this juncture that the uprising of Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun broke out, and for the first time put forward the concept of "equal wealth and poverty, equal to the noble and low".

Since Zhao Zhen's accession to the throne, the phenomenon of land annexation has become more serious, a large number of peasants have fled, uprisings have broken out one after another, and even the Gyeonggi area of Kaifeng Province has often been infested with bandits, which is quite explosive in any dynasty.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the area of the first good, there are bandits rampant?

The most breathless thing is that at the same time, foreign wars have been defeated year after year, and after losing the Liao State, the party project has been lost, and the party project has been built by the people, and then there will be no one to lose.

If the foreign war can be won, maybe it can still divert the contradictions, but history has no if, due to the political corruption of the Song Dynasty, as well as the weakness of the army, countless money and grain were spent on border wars, but they lost people and land.

After losing the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty paid 255,000 annual coins to the Western Xia; After Liao Guo found out, he felt that his heart was unbalanced, and he asked for an extra 100,000 taels of silver and silk every year.

Having come to this point, in fact, the Song Dynasty should reflect on it. If you can't defeat the Liao State, even if you can't beat the Liao State, you have to deal with the small country of Xixia Yuer, you have to cede the land and pay compensation, and pay tribute every year......

Looking at the twists and turns on the case, Li Shimin's blood pressure went up.

*Rage from Li Shimin +100,000

"Can you, the emperor, still be able to do it, let me teach you, how should you govern the country!" (End of chapter)
