Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 781 Zhao Song and Zhu Ming disagree

The royal family of Zhu Ming was in a meeting, and the royal family of Zhao Song was also in a meeting. Now not only the world of Ming Dynasty has increased, but the world of Song Dynasty has also increased, and it is the era of Song Renzong, which makes Zhao Heng and Zhao Zhen a little embarrassed.

This is really called Dad. How can I say that such a recent era really has never happened. Don't accept Daming's brother emperor. This is called Dad's excitement.

But this is not important. What is important is that when Zhuo Qun opened this world, the time and place where he opened it was a bit too exciting. The scene of the spring of the Ministry of Rites in 1057 may not be familiar to everyone, so let’s change the time to the spring of the second year of Jiayou ceremony.

This is a bit familiar. If there are two major idols in the ancient Xia Dynasty, one is Li Bai who spits out half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the other is Su Shi and Su Dongpo who participated in the Jiayou two-year scientific examination but did not become the champion. up.

One of these two is Tang poetry, the other is Song Ci, both are representatives of an era.

When Zhuo Qun opened this world, it was the examination room for this year's Ministry of Rites Chunwei.

At that time, when I figured out where this place was, the entire alliance was shocked. The No. 1 list in the Qiangu Imperial Examination, this time point is really too ruthless.

The imperial examination system lasted more than 31 years from its creation by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to its abolition in the [-]st year of Guangxu. Countless talents were selected for the ruling class in the feudal era, and countless familiar historical figures came out through the imperial examinations.Talented people come out from generation to generation, and each has been in the limelight for hundreds of years. The most glorious list among them is the Jinshi and the first list in the second year of Emperor Renzong Jiayou's reign in Song Dynasty.

There are too many capable people in the list of Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou. According to the summary of later generations, there are 24 people in the history of Song Dynasty.In this session, nine people served as ministers, namely Wang Shao, Zheng Yong, Liang Tao, Lu Huiqing, Su Zhe, Lin Xi, Zeng Bu, Zhang Yu, Zhang Dun and so on.There are three people listed in the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, namely "Su Shi, Su Zhe and Zeng Gong".

And the chief examiner for this subject is Ouyang Xiu, and Su Xun, the father of the Su brothers, also came. This time, five members of the Song Liu family among the eight great families of the Tang and Song Dynasties were gathered in the exam. Except for the misfit Wang Anshi, everyone The best writers in the Song Dynasty are all here. It can be said that this is a list of gods fighting.

But in this list, none of these people became the number one, not only the number one, not even the second place and Tanhua, these people are not, this year's number one is Zhang Heng, Su Shi commented on him: "Ziping's talent, No one can hold a candle to him for a hundred years.” Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, commented on him: “The inner virtue is gentle and pure, the outer appearance is dignified, Han Yuan’s poet school, the country’s Liangdong.” The second place in the list, Dou Bian, is even more honest and upright.As for Tanhua Luo Kai, he is also indifferent to fame and fortune, not luxurious, and people praise him for his integrity wherever he goes.

How should I put it, when Zhuo Qun and the others showed up, everyone was really startled. The Scholars in the second year of Jiayou were all dumbfounded, and Zhuo Qun and the others were also dumbfounded.This time is really cruel.

However, things were handled well afterwards. This list was completed normally, and Zhao Heng and Zhao Zhen also recognized each other as father and son, which is quite gratifying. Accidentally got wind and died immediately.

There is nothing else, but what makes Zhao Song happy is that there are a lot of capable people in the Renzong Dynasty, but they don't want to see Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, so they put Sima Guang He has been released. As for Wang Anshi, let’s continue to bear the world’s expectations. The Zhao and Song royal families don’t want to use any of these "spotty talents" with high eyesight and no practical ability.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't kill scholar-bureaucrats casually, Zhao Heng would have done them directly.

It's a pity that Zhao Song and Zhu Ming are different, they don't kill, and they don't have the supreme imperial power like Zhu Ming.

Zhao Heng once asked Kou Zhun, what would you do if you chief executives had the real power of regency like Yu Qian and Zhang Juzheng, where financial power, personnel power, and military power belonged to you.

This question made Kou Zhun think about it for a long time, and he finally said that he would not care about the throne for himself, but those under him would add a yellow robe to him, because when the powerful ministers sat down to that step, they would You can only advance but not retreat, because one step back is a cliff, so even when the Zhao and Song Dynasties were carrying out reforms with the support of the emperor, some people would hold back.

This is not because of any political disagreement, but that no one can take power alone. This is an unspoken rule. During the Qingli New Deal, everyone followed this rule, but when Wang Anshi reformed, both sides did not abide by it. To be precise, Wang Anshi drove away all the opponents for better reform.

Then when he quit the prime minister, the backlash came, and the people he recommended did not understand this unspoken rule, or pretended not to understand this rule. Anyway, the party struggle for actual rights began, and then until After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the party struggle never stopped.

But it was because of this party struggle that Zhao Song didn't have any powerful ministers who were not ministers, otherwise the old things of the Five Dynasties would not be far away.

Zhao Heng didn't know what to say. He knew Kou Zhun was right, but it sounded harsh.

However, before Zhao and Song Dynasties, there were five generations in which the strong soldiers and horses were the emperors, and it is acceptable to have the idea of ​​suppressing one's own people.

However, Zhao Song couldn't accept Zhu Ming's actions. In their view, neither Yu Qian nor Zhang Juzheng would have died, but they were killed by Zhu Ming's royal family. What's even more terrifying is what those ministers did to Zhu Ming's royal family. They all agreed.

It is understandable to Zhao Song that the person who murdered the emperor was killed. After all, this is regicide, which is a heinous crime. There is nothing to say about this.

They can also understand that Zhu Yuanzhang killed corrupt officials. This kind of person is doing harm to the people for the evil side, and he is not innocent at all in his death.

Both Yu Qian and Zhang Juzheng can only be said to be arbitrators of power, but they did not have any thoughts of rebellion, nor did they want to be emperors. They were clean officials, but they were killed by Zhu Ming's royal family, which made Zhao Song a little bit Can't understand anymore.

More importantly, these people are very capable, it's a pity to die.

On their side, as long as it is not a serious crime that cannot be refuted, this kind of person must never be killed, at most it will be exiled. In short, the royal family cannot be contaminated with the blood of important officials, which is very important.

Because everyone pays attention to what Mencius said, the king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart; .

So I can't understand this point at all, but those people in the Qing Dynasty can easily understand this problem, because there is a sentence in the novel Journey to the West that is very correct.

That is, if the ruler teaches his ministers to die, he will be unfaithful if he does not die; if a father teaches his son to die, he will not be filial if his son does not die.

To put it bluntly, after Zhao Song died, the traditional concepts of Zhuxia changed, and the relationship between monarchs and ministers changed from equality to breeding eagles and dogs.

Zhao Song and Zhu Ming have different views.

Of course, if you want to talk about Zhao Heng's murder of Jingkang, you can't say that. The people involved in the Jingkang incident and those who were killed all had ways to die.

It's just that Zhao Heng was stimulated by Zhuo Qun at that time, and he did it directly without going through the procedure.

Zhao Heng also regretted this incident later, because the instigator had no descendants.
