The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 350: Achievements of Emperor Taizu of Song.

【Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty - Zhao Kuangyin】

[Military achievements: destroyed Nanping, Wuping, Hou Shu, Southern Han, Southern Tang, and Wuyue surrendered. Basically unified the south.]

[Evaluation grade A, four points]

……

Liu Song.

Liu Yu counted on his fingers.

"During his 17-year reign, he recovered Jinghu, destroyed Hou Shu, attacked Northern Han, pacified Southern Han, and conquered Southern Tang, ending the 50-year division of the Five Dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty."

"Dismiss the armies of the princes and put an end to the violence of the Five Dynasties."

"Not bad either."

……

【Institutional construction: Reform the military system and set up three imperial guards. The Privy Councilor is responsible for military orders and mobilizing the imperial guards. All major matters of the Privy Council must be reported to the emperor for approval.】

【Order the vassal states and their counties to report to the imperial court on their own and no longer belong to the vassal states.】

[In order to supervise the governors or commanders of the provinces, the post of "Tongpan" was added to each province and army, and was replaced every three years to manage the local affairs of the province and county. "All the people's politics were under his control, and the documents had to be signed by the senior officials before they could be implemented."]

[It is stipulated that all taxes collected by the prefectures and vassal states, except for necessary expenses, shall be paid to the three officials of the imperial court for unified arrangement, and the local governments shall not retain them.]

【At the same time, the imperial court sent out transport envoys to supervise the collection of commercial and monopoly taxes in various vassal states, and to pay the relevant taxes directly to the imperial court. History records that "all the financial benefits were returned to the court."】

……

Tang Dezong Period
"This is cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron!"

Li Shi slapped his thigh and began to get excited.

These tax collection affairs were basically monopolized by local military governors and there was no standard system.

Each feudal lord would usually send his own trusted confidants to manage the affairs and arbitrarily set the amount of tribute.

This kind of immeasurable exploitation and accumulation is one of the greatest sufferings of local scholars and common people.

It is one of my greatest pains!

Rubbing his hands together, Li Shi looked at the sky excitedly.

After all this, the military, political, and financial powers of the vassal states were all under the control of the imperial court!
Great! Once the Anxi Army arrives...

……

Tang Dynasty - Wuzong Period
Li Yan was thinking about this new official position.

Tongpan...

It seems that the military supervisors in the army have moved to the local area.

Well... officials with supervisory functions were sent directly by the imperial court. These officials were not subordinate to the chief officials, so they had a single line of communication with the imperial court.

A document is considered valid only if it is signed jointly by the senior official.

This meant that the Tongpan and the Taishou reached a balance of power and solved the problem of local power.

This guy has mastered the art of balance!

It's a pity that he died in an unclear manner.

……

[In 961 AD, it was stipulated that "officials are granted different titles, including positions, posts, and dispatches."]

【The system of assigning officials, posts and dispatches was officially implemented, aiming to "divide power" and control officials and check power. 】

[Unless otherwise specified in the imperial edict, no one shall hold a position consistent with the official title.]

[Among them, the term "guan" means "a tool for requesting salary, a title for addressing", and is called a "jiluguan", which is used to determine rank and salary.]

[Position is an honorary title used to honor civil officials, such as palace scholars.]

【A person who is sent to manage internal and external affairs is called an official, and is a real official with a position, power, and responsibility.】

……

Later Tang Dynasty: Mingzong Period
"Give up military power with a cup of wine, dismiss the branch counties, strengthen the main and weaken the branch, maintain the relationship between the inside and the outside, change every three years, set up Tongpan, and dispatch officials..."

Li Siyuan gave a general overview of Zhao Kuangyin's system.

These measures put the military, politics, law, and finance all firmly under the control of the emperor.

The historical chaos of separatist regimes and military rule since the Anshi Rebellion was eliminated in one fell swoop!

Li, Guo, Chai, and Zhao.

Li Siyuan thought with his hands behind his back, looking very proud.

Four generations of wise rulers emerged in succession!

It will definitely bring the Tang Dynasty back to life!
...But Zhao Kuangyi needs to be dealt with.

I don't know where he was born.

【Improve the imperial examination system and lock the examiners in the imperial examination hall: after the examiners are selected, they will be locked in the imperial examination hall.】

[Sealing system: A special person will cover the name, place of origin, etc. on the test paper with paper, and then open it to announce the name when the results are finally counted. This is the origin of the sealed test paper system. ]

[Transcription system: The court hired a group of people to re-transcribe the examination papers to further prevent mistakes made by candidates when sealing them.]

【The Palace Examination is a permanent institution: the palace examinations of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are institutionalized. The final ranking must be determined by the Palace Examination, and the power to select candidates for the imperial examination is directly controlled by the emperor.】

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

"A balance between civil and military power?"

Liu Xiu stood upright and looked up at the sky.

A loose crimson dress fluttering in the wind.

Liu Zhuang sat aside and served tea and water to Yin Lihua.

"It's a pity for Emperor Taizu of Song. He could have adjusted his one-sided and overbearing strategy of fighting violence with violence and adopted peaceful means."

"It also brought the financial, administrative and judicial powers of various regions back to the central government."

"The third northern expedition went smoothly."

Liu Zhuang sighed and said no more.

Liu Xiu also felt sorry that Emperor Taizu of Song failed at the last moment.

Song Taizu was just one step away from reshaping his thoughts and destiny.

After the fall of the Han Dynasty, the mobilization to restore the Han Dynasty was able to surge, largely because the scholars and common people were loyal to Confucianism, loyal to the emperor, and loyal to the Han Dynasty's destiny.

Thought, personality and belief are integrated into one.

However, the Tang Dynasty system clearly lacked the support of such core values.

The Tang Dynasty was supported by the idea of ​​pacifying the people and making the people the foundation of the country, which was summed up by Emperor Taizong of Tang.

The monarch should set an example by setting an example through his own personal character.

This style was imitated by almost every emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who all took Taizong as an example and worked hard to govern the country.

The problem is that emperors have different personal abilities and IQs.

Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, the three schools of thought have been fluctuating back and forth without any unification.

The scholars and common people were limited to being loyal to the emperor personally, and regarded Emperor Taizong of Tang as a model of the three in one, but they had no clear understanding of the ideology and the Mandate of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, those who want to restore the Tang Dynasty do not have much appeal.

After all, there are very few people like Emperor Taizong of Tang.

The chaos of the Five Dynasties made people throw away the only support of loyalty to the emperor. Although Song Taizu's various systems had drawbacks, they saved the feudal states from being unified, shaped the style of literature and rectified the abuses of the military, and brought peace to the world and the people.

These alone are quite rare.

After all, he is also a pure military general.

……

[Diplomatic Strategy: In 975 AD, the Ding Dynasty of Jiaozhi paid tribute and conferred the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Jianxiu Taishi, and Jiaozhi Junwang. The two sides established a vassal relationship.]

[From 961 to 963 AD, the Jurchens presented famous horses as tribute five times. Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to exempt the people of Dengzhou from rent and taxes, and encouraged them to transport the Jurchen tribute horses to the Song Dynasty. Later, the Jurchens "attached tribute items" and sent envoys to present horses.]

【Li Yixing, the governor of Dingnan Army, was appointed as the Grand Commandant and posthumously named King of Xia. Li Yixing offered 300 fine horses as tribute and was ordered to resist and help conquer the Northern Han Dynasty many times.】

【Wuyue submitted a petition to the Song Dynasty to declare itself a vassal state, and because it helped the Song Dynasty pacify the southern states, Zhao Kuangyin allowed it to establish its own vassal state.】

[Evaluation grade A, four points]

……

Song Zhenzong period
Liu E looked helplessly at Zhao Heng, who was twisting and turning like a man with grass on his butt.

"Official, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Heng waved his hand.

"It's okay... nothing happened..."

How do you say this?
It is said that Wu Yue surrendered and then its ruler died?
Taizong is so sloppy in his work!

……

[People's Livelihood and Economy: Continuing various systems from the time of Emperor Shizong of Zhou, while strengthening the embankments of major rivers such as the Yellow River to avoid floods. ]

【The idea of ​​"ruling the world with one person, not letting the world serve one person" was implemented, and no tax on farmland was added. 】

【At the same time, based on the foundation laid by Zhou Shizong, except for the salt and iron business, all other businesses run by the people were exempted from taxation.】

[He ordered each prefecture and county to set up charity granaries, and for every dan of summer and autumn taxes collected by the government, one dou of grain was reserved for storage in the charity granaries, which was called "to prepare for disasters and frugality" in history.]

[Evaluation grade A, four points]

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
“No additional taxes on farmland… No additional taxes.”

"Use moderation to nourish the people's physiology."

Liu Heng held his knees and sighed.

"If this rule remains unchanged for a long time, the people of the Song Dynasty will live and work in peace and the economy will prosper."

……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian had a sour face.

Change the name of Yicang and it will be yours!
This is obviously my masterpiece!

……

Datang.

"Let one person rule the world, not let the world serve one person."

Li Shimin sighed:
"Zhang Yungu, your words of advice to me will go down in history!"

"I have wronged the minister!"

……

[Employing and identifying people: In terms of employing people, they only employ people with their talents, regardless of old grudges. Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Dang Jin, Fan Ruoshui, etc. have devoted all their efforts to the great cause of unification. In terms of identifying people... it's hard to say. ]

[After all, there are many doubts about my death. ]

[Empress Song could not be buried with the proper ceremony for an empress.]

【Zhao Dezhao committed suicide without knowing the reason.】

【Zhao Defang died mysteriously in his sleep.】

【Zhao Tingmei was wrongly accused and died in anger.】

【All this stems from the rise of Kaifeng Yin, Dongjing Liushou, Jin Wang, and Song Taizong. 】

[Evaluation B, three points]

……

Ming dynasty.

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with that!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and said impatiently:
"Isn't it just what Emperor Taizong of Song did?"

"Empress Song was not buried according to proper etiquette, and Dezhao, Defang, and Demei died in obscure circumstances!"

"What else can't be said?"

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"It's a pity for Emperor Taizu of Song."

Zhu Gaochi ate some marinated cheese to cool off.

"With heroic spirit, he looks down upon the crowd."

"Although he often showed a warrior temperament, he knew how to reflect on himself and correct his mistakes in time, and he was open to public opinion and humbly accepted advice."

"Although he was born in the military and has fought for ten years, he is not violent and bloodthirsty, and he is also tolerant and compassionate."

"Governing the country can always find flexible ways to resolve the issue in a clever way."

"Majesty and kindness, integrity and gentleness, a broad mind and farsightedness."

"He was an emperor with great charisma."

Zhu Di used a spoon to scrape the last bit of ice cream in the bowl and put it into his mouth.

"So much bullshit."

"Have you finished eating? If you're done, get out of here."

"Go and handle the affairs of state!"

……

[Later influence: The founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, he was crowned with a yellow robe after the Chenqiao mutiny. Rating: B, 3 points]

【Total score: 22 points】

……

On the sky, the performance evaluation turned into a golden vortex.

An empty courtyard appeared before the emperors.

Visibly to the naked eye, the golden vortex paused.

Then the screen jumped quickly.

In a palace, two figures appeared.

But it was different from the past when the emperor always looked upright and solemn while waiting for reward or punishment.

At this time, the two were doing other things.

One was tied to a pillar, while the other whipped him with a whip!

"Song Taizu whipped his brother angrily!"
