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

Chapter 428: The Key to Rule the World
On the canopy.

Inside the Chui Gong Hall.

He wore a black official hat with double wings and a white court robe with a wide belt.

The middle-aged emperor looked dignified.

His Highness and his ministers all had stern expressions.

From time to time, ministers came forward to make their statements.

The emperor nodded and listened attentively.

……

[Song Xiaozong, no longer paying attention to military affairs, began to deal with the remaining problems in the Southern Song Dynasty's system and economy. ]

[First, he opened up the channels for people to express their opinions. As soon as Song Xiaozong ascended the throne, he issued an edict to ask for frank opinions, calling on scholars and common people to state the emperor's mistakes and the shortcomings of the government, and requiring officials to reflect the people's well-being and the interests and problems of the people. He also announced that those who made feasible suggestions would be rewarded, and those who disagreed would be acquitted.]

【He carefully reviewed the memorials and took care to adopt suggestions.】

[In contrast to the situation during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Song, when censors dared not speak out and officials avoided being questioned, the subjects spoke out frankly and Emperor Xiaozong listened to them with an open mind, and mistakes in government affairs decreased.]

……

Great Sui.

"He really has some of the style of Emperor Taizu of Song."

Yang Jian was an emperor of quite some age who gazed at the sky.

"But even allowing people to express their opinions freely can be counted as an achievement..."

"Zhao Gou is really good at covering his ears and stealing bells."

Dugu Jialuo coaxed the baby and glanced at him coldly.

"What Zhao Gou? It's Zhao Gou!"

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan blew on the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Li Shimin was holding a pen and writing big characters on the side.

A few pieces of white paper were passed from Li Jiancheng's fingertips, and Li Yuan felt powerless as he looked at the words on the paper.

"You really don't know how to be funny..."

Li Jiancheng looked back and saw Li Shimin writing quickly with an expressionless face.

"Aye, you too."

"Why did you provoke him?"

Li Yuan threw the paper on the couch.

The ink-colored words "filial piety" were densely packed on the paper.

“…Originally…”

……

【Song Xiaozong was known for being strict in abiding by the law and making sure it was enforced. 】

[Believes that "there are bad things in the world, but there are no bad laws"]

【Emphasis on "not creating precedents that harm the law." 】

When encountering difficult problems in handling government affairs, people often ask the prime minister: "How does it apply to the law?"

If the answer is "It is not allowed by law", he will immediately say: "We have a constitution, I dare not abolish it."

[Song Xiaozong even criticized the ancestral family law: "Since the beginning of the dynasty, those who were too loyal and honest, those who made mistakes as prime ministers, and those who defeated military advisors were never executed." He advocated heavy rewards and heavy punishments.]

……

Great Qin.

After a short rest, Ying Zheng rested his chin on his hand and looked at the sky.

“I really have something to do.”

But it came out too late.

"If he had succeeded King Cheoljong at that time..."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and thought.

It would be better to wait until Fusu and Lu Yuan's child is fifteen years old and then let the grandson succeed to the throne.

Fusu... should just be his crown prince.

As for whether having a crown prince for decades would have any impact...

Ying Zheng couldn't help but have veins popping up on his forehead.

It would be great if that idiot who only dares to commit suicide had the courage of Liu Ju!
If you dare to learn from Li Shimin, you can even ask me to abdicate!

……

Big man.

“Born at the wrong time.”

Liu Bang folded his arms and leaned against the couch.

"If this had happened earlier, the Song Dynasty would not have ended up like this."

Lu Zhi narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment.

"Who started the ancestral law?"

Liu Bang answered without hesitation:
"Song Zhenzong."

"It ruined the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai. The memory is too deep."

……

[The imperial edict required local officials to "not cause lawsuits, not tolerate corrupt officials, not deprive people of their time, and not seize people's money", and announced that "anyone who does so will be punished without pardon." ]

【At that time, the problem of officials taking bribes was serious, and Song Xiaozong issued a special regulation to encourage people to report officials taking bribes. Once verified, they would be severely punished.】

[In September 1164, Emperor Xiaozong of Song stipulated that officials who committed corruption would be punished by caning and exile in addition to having their property confiscated.]

[In June 1183, another decree was issued, emphasizing that any official found guilty of corruption should be punished according to the law, regardless of his rank or severity.]

...Yanhan and Mingdi Period
Liu Zhuang felt both satisfied and regretful.

"You said you... are unlucky!"

"If you were the next Emperor Zhenzong of Song, you would be the one to ascend the throne."

"With the cooperation of Fan Zhongyan, the Song Dynasty might be able to revive."

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and sighed:

“It’s really a pity to think about it.”

"No wonder people say that during Emperor Gaozong's reign, there were generals who could restore the country, but no emperor who could restore the country."

"When it comes to Emperor Xiaozong, there is a king who can restore the country, but no general who can restore the country."

"Not only do we have no generals, we also have no ministers!"

"This is probably also a manifestation of the country's destiny."

Queen Ma raised her eyebrows.

"Still thinking about peeling the skin?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand.

"Really, sister! Do you think I'm such a cruel person?!"

"We've decided! Just give him a beating!"

"Just like Xiaozong! Beating with a stick! Tattooing!"

"How embarrassing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and it was like a bright moon and clear wind. But his heart was beating wildly!
Oh my God!
What magical power does this girl have!
My guess was too accurate!

……

[Because of the serious corruption, Song Xiaozong paid special attention to the selection of local officials, and repeatedly emphasized: "If the county governor is the right person, then the people will be blessed for a thousand miles. If the supervisor is the right person, then the whole way will be blessed."]

[Local officials are required not to lose money to the public but to benefit the people.]

【Local officials should not only be carefully selected but also strictly evaluated.】

[He placed an imperial screen in the inner palace and personally recorded the names and achievements of the national supervisors and prefects.]

[Regarding the situation of the county governors, Song Xiaozong required the supervisors to report on time and give rewards and punishments.]

【At the same time, redundant staff should be cut, no excessive awards should be given, and no official positions should be granted lightly, emphasizing that the appointment of officials should be fair and reasonable. 】

[The "Xiaozong's power to exempt the recommendation and the special recommendation" was implemented to solve the problem of excessive officialdom. ]

[From June 1166, restrictions on the appointment of officials began to be imposed, and the number of officials appointed gradually decreased.]

[System construction: rated B, scored three points.]

……

During the Song Dynasty and Renzong Period
Exempt from the right to recommend? Stop the special nomination?
Zhao Zhen was worried.

The system of special nominations for tribute examinations was established in the third year of Kaibao under Emperor Taizu and has been implemented continuously ever since.

One of its functions is to discover lost talents.

The second function is to win the hearts of all the people in the world by offering their services to him.

Avoid incidents like Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao.

With the promise of an official position and a small salary, many scholars were lured into wasting their lives in imperial examinations.

Even though his teeth fell out and his hair turned white, he still pursued his goal diligently until his death.

As long as you are not dead, you will never stop!
This is the purpose of establishing the special nomination system and the result of its implementation.

but……

Zhao Zhen couldn't help tapping the table.

Do we really want to stop this?

What if something happens between Huang and Wang?

……

Song Dynasty: Zhezong Period
Zhao Xu looked at the words on the paper.

"The Key to Rule the World"

"Ruling the world..."

Zhao Xu wanted to be Emperor Taizong of Tang.

But it was not easy to be Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Although the special nomination system played a role in winning over scholars and maintaining the country, it also exposed obvious drawbacks.

The admission of a large number of special nominees has aggravated the redundancy of officials.

Moreover, these specially nominated candidates are not only low in talent and learning, but also old and feeble.

After leaving office, most of them fail to be honest and law-abiding and work hard in their administration. Instead, they are eager to embezzle and pervert the law to enrich themselves, thinking that they can retire in their old age.

Zhao Xu looked at the memorial beside him again.

On the Special Name

In the third year of Yuanyou, Su Shi, Sun Jue and Kong Wenzhong jointly wrote a letter.

He turned it inside out.

"No benefit, no harm, it is self-evident..."

"If he has no hope for advancement and no place to return to, he will surely harm the people if he is allowed to take charge of government."

"The pest of the state!"
