Chapter 276, Status Quo

The dignified Song, Lang Lang Qiankun, what are you talking about with a black charcoal head?

Okay! Demons are demons. But what do you mean by using the army?

The national policy of the Great Song Dynasty was to suppress the martial arts, but only suppressing the martial artists was the emperor and the purpose of the Zhao family. In the hands of civil officials, they had only one purpose - to prevent the emperor from getting involved in military power.

An emperor without military power is a safe mascot, and with military power, it is a man-eating tiger.

The last loyal army of the old Zhao family was how much effort Lao Xiangguo spent to fight in the north.

What protects the people, just talk. To protect the people, not on the city walls, but to go out of the city to the field.

For the sake of the people. It has never been just in the name of doing evil things.

Adults don't care about any demons, and they don't care about Beihu. When the Five Kingdoms were ten generations, they experienced a lot.

It's easy to meet a Song, they must concentrate on Jingxi, and they can't let the Zhao family go on any longer. Otherwise, if they destroy the country, they will fall into the era of bullying by scholars and soldiers, which no one wants.

For example, after Yashan, 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea, preaching loyalty to the outside world, but in fact it was the fear of Hu rule.

Barbarians entered China. In fact, this is already the point of propaganda in the later years - not to kill literati indiscriminately.

With this article, people are truly shameless, and I have my big green fruit.

In the present era, the literati still keep the little bit of discipline left. As long as Lao Zhao's family doesn't mess around and doesn't keep thinking about the Northern Expedition, they will be satisfied. After all, he just came out of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the people's hearts are not so big.

And the old Zhao family has an army, or they know the strength of the Song army, they will be bent on the northern expedition.

Why can't the Hu people be so easy to provoke?

Yes. It's all the military's harm. As long as the emperor does not have an army in his hands, as long as the army of my Great Song is weak enough, all this will not happen again.

That's what they think, and that's what they do.

This is how the emphasis on literature and light on military force in the end of the Song Dynasty happened.

Just as the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. The current scholars and doctors are all wearing shoes, and they don't want to live the days when the Hu people go south. When Zhao Yinyi was two brothers, they once mustered up the courage once, but it turned out that they couldn't do it, they couldn't do it at all.

Some time ago, the emperor bypassed them and used the army once. They were already frightened and arrested the Yang family's subordinates. I didn't expect the emperor to come.

But what if you came? You didn't send a martial artist, you were such an ugly ghost.

The Ministry of War refused to send troops, not only to be anxious about Bao Zheng, but also to annoy Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen, the emperor, was extremely aggrieved. When she was the queen mother, I won't say much. Let's just say that this palace, anyone can enter and leave at will. After fighting for so long, I didn't see the army escorting me. Zhao Zhen didn't have any thoughts in his heart.

And now it's not the past, he already has a posterity. There will be no more attacks on the palace, and he will have the idea of abandoning the throne. Even for the sake of his son, he must have a force in hand.

When Bao Zheng told Zhao Zhen that he couldn't transfer the army, the emperor looked at him with a very strange look.

He is the emperor, this is the world of his old Zhao family, but he can't transfer the army.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and called Yan Shu.

Yan Shu was born in the second year of Chunhua of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, at the age of fourteen he entered the examination as a prodigy, and was born as a Jinshi, and was ordered to be the secretary of the provincial orthography. And he is an old minister, who has been in an important position for many years, but he is approachable. He is meritocracy, Fan Zhongyan, Kong Daofu, Wang Anshi and so on are all from his disciples; Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and others have all been cultivated and recommended by him, and they have all been reused. Han Qi was re-elected as the prime minister of Renzong, Yingzong, and Shenzong, and Fu Bi was Yan Shu's son-in-law.

This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen came to him. As long as he speaks, the movement of troops and horses is no longer a problem.

"Ahh

However, Yan Shu did not stand on Zhao Zhen's side, he was pretending to be deaf and dumb.

To be honest, although Yan Shu is old, he is not deaf and blind, and the reason why he did not support Zhao Zhen was because he couldn't support him.

Yan Shu, who was the prime minister and privy envoy at the time, suggested that Renzong should dismiss the army and not give the generals a formation map, so that the generals could judge the situation and adapt to the enemy. He also suggested that the fiscal system should be rectified. These suggestions were all adopted by Renzong, and achieved good results, and finally made Yuan Hao bow down to his orders.

However, his behavior was meritorious to the people and the country, but it ruined the plans of the literati, so in the second year of Qingli, Yan Shuguan worshiped the prime minister, and the privy envoy added a level to the chapter. In the second year, he inspected the school Taiwei Criminal Department Shangshu Tongping Zhangshi, Jinzhong Shumen Pingzhangshi, Jixian Hall Bachelor, and Privy Envoy. In the fourth year of Qingli, he presided over the compilation and revision of Concubine Li Chen's epitaph.

Nominally, this is serious, but it is a counterattack from the literati. He was also degraded because of the long history.

Then his whole life was to travel around the Great Song Dynasty and never returned to Bianjing.

In June of the first year of He, Yan Shu asked to return to the capital for treatment due to illness, and after the illness was cured, he went out of Beijing to take up his post, Renzong deliberately left him behind, let him preach and interpret the scriptures for himself, let him come to him once in five days, and treat him according to the specifications of the prime minister. After a year, Yan Shu's condition worsened, and Renzong wanted to go to see him. When Yan Shu found out, he immediately sent a letter to Renzong, which said: "I am old and seriously ill, and I can't do anything anymore, so I don't deserve to be worried by Your Majesty. Soon after, he died on the 28th day of the first month of the second year of Zhihe. Although Renzong personally went to mourn, he still regretted that he could not visit him when he was sick, and did not go to court for two days.

This is the revenge of the civilian officials. Although Da Song does not kill scholars, I can continue to transfer your work and keep you on the move. Before the government affairs were started, they were directly transferred. is always on the way to work, and if there is no political achievement, it is naturally impossible to return to Beijing.

Yan Shu is like this, and there is no need to talk about others.

"Boss, if you are not in good health, you will recuperate in the palace. This order was issued by me, come and send Elder Yan to the palace to rest!"

Although Zhao Zhen was very angry, he still did not embarrass Yan Shu, in addition to Zhao Zhen's temperament, but also because Yan Shu was his teacher.

When Yan Shu first entered the court to do things, it was still the previous dynasty, at that time, there was nothing in the world, and hundreds of officials were allowed to choose a place to feast and drink, and the courtiers and doctors at that time drank and feasted separately, so that the tavern of the city building set up a large curtain to provide the convenience of feasting and drinking. Yan Shu was very poor at that time, and he had no money to go out to play and feast, so he studied poetry and books with his brothers at home. One day in the palace, the prince was selected as a speaker, and suddenly the emperor took office. The ruling minister didn't know why the emperor chose to feast on the throne, and the emperor said: "Recently, I heard that the ministers of the pavilion are all frolicking and feasting, and they are intoxicated all day long, only Yan Shu and his brother study behind closed doors, such a cautious and loyal person can teach *** to read." After Yan Shu took office, he had the opportunity to meet the saint, and the emperor informed him of the reason for appointing him in person, Yan Shu's language was simple and uninhibited, saying, "It's not that I don't like banquets and fun, but my family is poor and has no money to go out." If the minister has money, he will also go to the banquet, but he can't go out because he has no money. Therefore, the emperor appreciated his honesty even more, knew how to serve the king, and became more and more favored. After Renzong ascended the throne, he was able to be of great use (official to prime minister).

In such an era, as long as Yan Shu did not rebel, it would be impossible for Zhao Zhen to deal with him.
