The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

The winter of the ninth year of Tianjian was a bloody season.

The snowflakes falling from the sky appear red in people's eyes.

Because all over Daqin, the situation had changed from literary criticism, siege, and brawl to an outright war mode.

There was bloodshed everywhere. The nobles and evil gentry were overthrown, their crimes were counted and they were beheaded. Even those who hid in the city were not spared.

Some of the county and state government offices in the city had been broken into and smashed, and even some officials had been dragged out and executed.

Of course, attacking government offices was a rare occurrence. Only corrupt officials who aroused great public outrage would suffer such a fate, and the people would wish to drink their blood and eat their flesh.

More government offices were tightly closed. At first, there were government soldiers guarding outside, but later, because there were too many people, they gave up and just ignored it as long as no one rushed in.

The imperial guards stationed in various places remained motionless, and the generals from the aristocratic families in the army seemed to have disappeared overnight, and there was no news of them.

However, when the gentry educated their children, including sponsoring the sons of poor families to climb the social ladder, they all followed the literary path, and few followed the military path, so there were not many such people in the army.

However, the military and general families in the northwest were still affected to a certain extent. After all, they had a lot of land, especially the Zhe family, who also had a large number of fertile fields and products outside Hedong Road.

Moreover, the Zhe family was the only family in the world that had real hereditary fiefdoms, and they were granted fiefdoms of prefectures and states, and they held the positions of prefects and states governors for generations.

The Zhe family was quite excited when the riot started, but after Zhe Hanmei sent a letter, the situation immediately calmed down.

A month later, Zhe Keqiu submitted a secret memorial to Zhao Yu. No one knew what was said in it, but the Zhe family began to measure the land and count the real estate. No one knew what they wanted to do.

With the arrival of the tenth year of Tianjian, Zhao Xi could no longer sit still in the court.

There was a plan to dispatch Song Jiang from Shaanxi to Beijing to stabilize the situation, but not long after he was sent out, he came back with a report that Song Jiang had committed suicide for unknown reasons.

Later, several other close troops were dispatched, but still various incidents occurred and not a single soldier arrived in Tokyo.

The troops who went to invite Emperor Daojun also disappeared without a trace. There were several hundred people and all news was lost.

At this time, without the court's knowledge, a rebellion broke out in the northwest, and Qingtang City was subsequently guarded more strictly than before, and was almost in a closed state.

At the beginning of the tenth year of Tianjian, Tokyo was in chaos, and Zhao Xi could no longer sit still in the court...

In February, the government affairs of the entire empire were almost at a standstill, because the residences of court officials were attacked and it became difficult to attend court.

No matter if he was a minister or a minor official of the seventh or eighth rank, as long as he was born into a noble family or had a bad reputation or behaved improperly, no one would be spared.

By March, the empire was filled with blood, the heads of the nobles rolled down, and almost half of the officials were killed.

The people sent by Suiyu Tower led the Imperial Guards in various places and controlled the situation, but as the situation became more and more serious, the situation gradually got out of control.

One secret petition after another was sent to Tokyo and directly into the Forbidden City.

In May, the former Prince Gong's Mansion, now the Prince Regent's Mansion, came under attack, and a fierce battle broke out between the imperial guards and the frenzied civilians.

Countless people shouted to return the court to the emperor and the land to the people, and fought with the imperial guards.

At the same time, the residences of some ministers in the two governments who supported Zhao Xi were also attacked fiercely.

Yang Zhi's mansion was also attacked. He remained silent. Apart from asking people to guard it closely, he sat in the back hall drinking with a confused look on his face.

On May 28th, the tenth year of Tianjian, at midnight, Zhao Yu came out of the Suiyu Tower and returned to the palace.

On May 30, Zhao Xi knelt in front of the Yanfu Palace for a long time and refused to get up, asking for forgiveness, but Zhao Lu did not see him.

On June 18, the imperial guards from all over the country finally started to move, slowly and gradually entering the city and stepping in to stabilize the situation.

On August 15, the situation was contained and did not deteriorate further.

In early September, the stationed imperial troops accelerated their control of various places and quelled public anger and anger.

By the end of October, order began to gradually return everywhere.

It was not until March of the eleventh year of Tianjian that all parts of Daqin began to operate effectively, but public security incidents continued to occur frequently.

On the ninth day of the third month, Zhao Yu held a grand court meeting and took the throne again. He issued several decrees: the people would not be held accountable for the chaos that had occurred over the past two years.

Reappoint local officials.

The imperial examinations were liberalized, and the number of candidates doubled. However, the examination questions were changed to place more emphasis on practicality and to prioritize strengths over limitations.

A royal temple was built in the capital, and the retired emperor was brought back to Tokyo to practice Taoism in the temple. Only the retired emperor was brought back.

Zhao Xi was demoted from Prince Gong to Earl of Shenjie and was confined in the Zongzheng Temple, where he was watched over and studied every day.

Zhu Xiuniang was banished to the cold palace.

Court officials were dismissed from their posts or punished. Among them, Yang Zhi was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Lingnan to grow lychees.

There was also a hidden decree: the aristocratic families were to be destroyed, and all land would be nationalized. After measurement, the land would be distributed to the people in different places according to the land reform method used in Dali.

However, one rule was corrected in Dali's land reform law, which was that the land could not be bought or sold. After the term was up, the land could be renamed and belong to the owner, but it could not be transferred to another owner or traded.

Since there is no dynasty that will last for thousands of years, and the Qin Dynasty may no longer exist one day, we should just do things for a short period of time. At least as long as there is the Qin Dynasty, the land will be bound to the people and they will not lose it, and they will not be left without food in the end.

In the afternoon of June in the 13th year of Tianjian, in the rear pavilion of Zichen Palace.

After the court session ended, many people did not leave but discussed matters in the back cabinet. They were discussing the poor public security issues in various places since the riots.

Zhao Yu remained silent. This was an inevitable phenomenon after the chaos. The continuation of the inertia of the chaos was also the release of the evil side of human nature.

Seeing that no one could come up with a good solution, he smiled faintly and said, "Just beat him again."

Du Fu asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by heavy beating?"

Zhao Yu said: "According to the capital punishment, the criminal responsibility is sentenced, according to the criminal responsibility, the public security is sentenced, according to the public security, the admonition is sentenced."

An order was immediately issued, and a year-long campaign led by the military began in full swing.

During the previous riots, many people were aroused to do evil, and some of them were originally lawless criminals, or even former prisoners who had just been released from prison, who took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters and cause trouble. They were all among those who were severely punished this time.

Suddenly, there were crowds of people.

In June of the fourteenth year of Tianjian, the heavy fighting ended, and public security in various places became several times better than before the turmoil, and a truly peaceful world arrived.

In August of the fifteenth year of Tianjian, the land issue was completely completed.

In September, Zhao Yu appointed Prince Ding Zhao Yi as the crown prince.

In October, the court discussed the change of the reign title for the next year. It was decided that the reign title would be Tianping, starting from the first day of the first lunar month of the next year. A new era was about to begin.

At the end of December, Liu Suiyun came to the palace to report something, and Zhao Yu invited him to have tea.

Liu Suiyun hesitated and finally asked, "Your Majesty's policies are fair, but people's hearts are complicated and changeable. Maybe they can be implemented for dozens or hundreds of years, but will they still be implemented after a long time when the world changes?"

Zhao Yu smiled and shook his head: "Thousands of years later, the world has changed dramatically, does that matter? As long as I did it, it will be enough for people to know that I once made decisions for the people, I once dared to be the first in the world, and I have been here..."

In March of the first year of Tenpyo, when spring was in full bloom, Tokyo City welcomed a young couple.

The two men came from Diecui Island in the East China Sea, one was named Zhao Si and the other was named Zhao Nian.

Zhao Lu called all the heroes in the Suiyu Tower and Zhang Zhenniang, and took Zhao Si and Zhao Nian to visit the Daxiangguo Temple.

It was a bright and sunny day. The doors of Daxiangguo Temple were wide open, people were doing business, tourists were coming in an endless stream, and the temple was bustling and bustling.

Zhao Yu bought a lot of things for Zhao Si and Zhao Nian. They were twins and looked more like him than Liu Hui Niang.

He bought himself a lake blue pelican purse from a familiar stall near Zishengmen and hung it around his waist with a smile.

Walking along the way, it was just like the early spring when he was sixteen years old and full of flowers more than twenty years ago, comfortable and relaxed, warm and gentle...
