New Deal Failure

So it seems that inaction, but in fact, the timing is so good that it is cut off from the root. The reason why the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms used force against the Song Dynasty again was cut off from the root. In fact, it is so simple. For the Song Dynasty, these two barbarian neighbors were authentic evil neighbors, poor and arrogant. Their things were not rare at all, and there was no need to steal or care about them! If you want to say that there is something you are interested in, it is the same - Yanyun 16 states. It is really meaningful to get this. Except for this, everything is not discussed!

Let’s talk about Song Renzong Zhao Zhen’s performance in the Qingli New Policy. Let’s see what wisdom and plans are behind the calmness?

The most criticized thing about him is like foreign warfare. He was as numb as if it was not his country or his people. He simply let the gentlemen show their performance, and then he would fight with the villains, and he would not bother him and be completely invisible. It was not until his throne was endangered (the rumor of Xia Shu) that he used some power to make the gentlemen feel cold.

Over the past thousand years, countless people have asked: Why do you let go of the new policy without paying attention to it, making gentlemen surrounded by enemies and become dirty? This is not only a joke about Fan Zhongyan and others, but also a joke about the future of the Song Dynasty!

So if you change your mind and think about things, let Zhao Zhen stand firmly on the side of the gentlemen. He will do whatever the gentlemen say. What will happen?

Whenever I read Ouyang Xiu's masterpiece "On the Party", I will think of a shot. "The Martial Arts Principal Su Qi'er" starring Stephen Chow, Su Can met a mysterious figure among the beggars and praised him for "seeing your behavior and dynamics, and all of them are the best among beggars, but they are really the overlord among beggars." Su Can asked with hope, "So what?" and answered "Are you still a beggar."

Did you faint? No matter how wonderful Ouyang's talented man said, it was still a clique. With this thing, power will be formed. With power, he would compete with the emperor for power. Especially these people are forcing the emperor to "retreat the villain" and pointing out the villain one by one... Why do such people support it?

What's more, political struggle is like the law of survival on the wasteland, you have to fight! Such a great wise man and gentleman can't handle even a few villains, how can I feel at ease to leave the country to you?

So letting it go is the best management method at this time. Facts have proved that Zhao Zhen has never lost control of the situation. There is one thing to pay attention to. It is the so-called new policy, and the reform incident that is not smart in mind. Zhao Zhen’s handling results are so commendable.

Since ancient times, there has been a turbulent truth about reform - "Reform? Prosperity. No change? Gradually perish. Ambiguous? Chaos". Looking through history books, countries with thorough reform will be completely renewed and have a chance to be reborn after suffering. For example, Shang Yang's reform in Qin State. Not changing? A consistent country is like a long period of time that has been in various dynasties. For example, the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi and Qianlong periods lasted for more than 100 years. Try to be stable, but what is left to the next generation is a super bad stall, which is basically impossible to deal with. But in fact, this is not the worst. The most terrifying thing is the last 5 words: Ambiguous? Chaos!

There is no need to look for this example in other dynasties. The Song Dynasty decades later was the biggest classic!

What we need to emphasize now is that Zhao Zhen belongs to the second category. Seeing that the situation is not good, he immediately stopped and stopped playing. In less than a year, the Song Dynasty gradually invalidated the new policy clauses and returned to the road of "not changing? Gradually destruction"... This road has long-term worries, but no immediate harm.

From then on, the Renzong Dynasty had no super powerful ministers like Lu Yijian, nor did they appear as moral models like Fan Zhongyan. Even tough and principled figures like Fu Bi and Han Qi were extinct...

Why? Why did it become so boring? The reason is very good. To be honest, this is the happiness of the people at that time and the hope of the people in every era later.

The ultimate explanation: Because there is no condition. Whether the soil for the birth of powerful ministers or the opportunity for model soldiers will disappear completely. It is not difficult to understand: Only when war occurs can there be heroes; only when fighting occurs can the powerful ministers be decided...

Everything is stable now, and Zhao Zhen used his methods to make every minister have no chance to become bigger, let alone perform. Everyone goes to and from get off work in a proper manner and do their job well.

I don’t know what others think, I personally think this is a very wonderful situation. It is almost the best for both the emperor and the civilians. The three words "not tossing" are very simple, but it is indeed the greatest wish of the people of the Song Dynasty, and they finally died in the word "tossing"... In fact, it is not only the Song Dynasty, but from ancient times to the present, this is the most common voice of mankind...

After that, the Song Dynasty, which was "untroubled", quickly entered the peaceful and prosperous era that was most longed for and missed by future generations...

I whispered that the Song Dynasty, which was known as the most civilized and enlightened in China's five thousand years of history, also had several micro-literary inquiries. For example, this one in the Renzong Dynasty was related to the main location of the Pavilion, which was known as the Song Dynasty's Talent Reserve Bank. The Pavilion refers to the royal library of the Song Dynasty such as Chongwen Pavilion and Jixianyuan. The Pavilion refers to the imperial study rooms of the Royal Palace such as Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, etc. These places have officials such as bachelors, direct bachelors, attendants, etc. Generally speaking, with such a title, it is equivalent to stepping into two palaces with half a foot. Even if you cannot be rich for life, you will definitely be famous all over the world... At this time, the Pavilion and Pavilion talents were very young...

Midsummer has passed and autumn has arrived. Speaking of which, the officials of the Song Dynasty are the happiest in all dynasties in China. There are 77 permanent legal holidays every year. There are 65 new days, and the total number of days off exceeds one-third of the year, which is more than modern people. In addition, there are some private gatherings that are conventionally accepted.

This time, the Gods Competition held by the Baisi Treasury Service of the Capital in Spring and Autumn. On this day, officials from every yamen in the Song Dynasty could drink and chat until all night long. Something happened in the Jinzuyuan. At this time, the person in charge of the Jinzuyuan was Su Shunqin, who was very young and a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.

On that day, he sold the waste paper in the Zuoyuan, and then paid 10 taels of silver by himself and prepared a sumptuous banquet. Birds of a feather flocked together, and people were divided into groups. He invited naturally all of them, both young, talented and wild. They were the 10 most popular people in the main halls of the Pavilion at that time. They had the same official symbol - the people recommended by Fan Zhongyan. They had never gone through the normal promotion process of official positions and had never been "surveyed". They were beneficiaries of the "recommendation system" in the new policy.

So that night, 10 young scholars born in the prosperous era and were proud of their youth gradually lost control. They drove away the singers and guards, closed the gate, and found two military prostitutes... unrestrained, they were all drunk, and finally the show was to write poetry. Wang Yirou became the idol that night. He became even more crazy than Li Bai. When the poet was the most arrogant, he just got drunk and asked Gao Lishi to take off his boots and let Yang Guifei polish the ink. Wang Yirou was so nice. He wrote two lines of poetry, "Drunk in the North Pole and sent the emperor to help him, and Zhou Gong and Confucius drove him into slavery." The emperor was his servant, Zhou Gongdan, Confucius was his slave! Is there any law of the heavenly rule? Is it simply forgetting my ancestors!

This is no wonder that others are. Historical books always emphasize that there was a villain named Li Ding at that time. He wanted to attend a banquet, but was rejected by Su Shunqin, so he went to the Censorate to report the matter. It was really despicable. But you didn’t commit any crime, what could he tell? As a Confucian scholar, he was so ruthless and others would not report it. You should commit suicide when you wake up!

The Chief Censor Wang Gongchen was overjoyed when he heard the news and reported to the emperor overnight. It is conceivable that Zhao Zhen’s anger was actually repaying the emperor’s kindness in this way! Why are you waiting for? You arrested people overnight and threw them into Kaifeng Prefecture. The special case was handled with great rigorousness and strictness!

The first sentence was sentenced, Wang Yirou was executed, and all other people involved in the case were removed and never hired. The second time was a little lighter. On November 7, Wang Yirou would never hire him. The group of staff of the museum were collectively abolished and demoted to local officials. The host Su Shunqin was punished with the first grade. The incident happened in his yamen, and the charge was for "stolen by the custody and was demoted to a commoner.

Su Shunqin is indeed treated differently because he is Du Yan's son-in-law and is regarded as the core of the gentleman in the New Deal...

On the 7th, Yelu Zongzhen returned to his post. On the 10th, Zongzhen issued an order to upgrade Yunzhou to the fifth capital of the Great Khitan-Xijing Datong Prefecture.

On December 8, the Song Dynasty sent Zhang Zishi to the Western Xia to enthrone Li Yuanhao as the king of Xia. Li Yuanhao officially relied on the Song Dynasty and served as the founding of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, the court and the Sui Ci also met all the requirements put forward by Li Yuanhao. The Song Xia Qingli Peace Agreement was officially established...

In the early month, the governor of Huanzhou Zong Shiheng built an ancient Thin Waist City. The city was completed and Shiheng died.

Before his death, the old husband of Zhong completed a more difficult trick on Li Yuanhao. Last time, he used Monk Guangxin to kill Yeli Wangrong, but this time he thought about Yeli Wangrong's younger brother Yeli Yuqi. This matter is very difficult: 1. The counter-espionage plan is indispensable. If you use it, you will definitely fail. 2. Yeli Yuqi is more difficult than Yeli Wangrong. He is the commander of Tiandu Mountain, the base camp of Xixia. Li Yuanhao's Palace was built there. The degree of his confidence can be imagined. What should I do? Zhong Shiheng had to spend a lot of money to pay attention to the movements in Xixia and wait for Yeli Yuqi to make mistakes.

It is said that only saints will not make mistakes. On the New Year's Eve on the last night of 1043, Yeli Yuqi led a large group of troops to the border of the Song Dynasty. He was very serious in his work. He led his troops deep and returned to Tiandu Mountain four or five days later. But after he came back, he was not the flowers, but Li Yuanhao's suspicious eyes: Xiaoqi, why are you doing so far during the New Year? You came back four or five days later, and the New Year has not passed. Who have you met? Yeli Yuqiyou

I was confused, I just went to fight, ran and looked for it, but the Song people were timid and no one responded to the challenge, so I came back. That day, Li Yuanhao stared at him for a long time before letting him go. Later, he found out that it was Li Yuanhao's nurse who sued him and said that he had tried to rebel and surrender to the enemy, and he had been there for so many days... He was very depressed, but this kind of thing could not be explained, and even became darker and darker, so he simply threw his hands away. But the fatal thing was: Zhong Shiheng knew about this.

Thousands of miles away, regardless of the movements of the Xixia General and the details of the Xixia Palace in Tiandu Mountain were all under the control of Zhong Shiheng! After that, he made some arrangements. First, he sent someone to sneak into Tiandu Mountain. The degree of infiltration was incredible and unbelievable. His people actually stole the sword that Li Yuanhao gave Yeli Yuqi! Then Zhong Shiheng spread rumors on the border that his close ally Yeli Yuqi was killed by the brutal Li Yuanhao. He was so painful that he decided to set up a sacrifice for Yuqi on the border and pay tribute to the undead...

That night, Zhong Shiheng was out for a good time and a raging fire ignited on the border. It is estimated that as long as the Xixia side was not blind, they would definitely find the location of the memorial site. The Song Dynasty officers and soldiers raised a wooden board, which was a memorial written by Zhong Shiheng, which fully recalled his and Yeli's common expectations for peace and their common annoyance to Li Yuanhao, especially for New Year's Eve not long ago, and had a detailed recollection of the happiness when they met beg for the meeting. What a beautiful ideal, I made an appointment with Li Ying.

Waihe defeated Li Yuanhao, but unexpectedly, he did not follow the wishes of others. He actually met his brother Qiwei and was killed by Li Yuanhao first... He talked a lot, and he was full of thoughts. It was not until the cavalry of the Xixia side was about to arrive. They threw the memorial boards, treasure swords and other objects into the fire, then ran away, and asked the Xixia people to rescue the scene... The Xixia people were very capable, and the literary boards and treasure swords were sent to Li Yuanhao intact... The treacherous people were the most unwilling tolerate others' treacherous behavior towards him, especially the confidants around him! Yeli met the beg, you should be unlucky!

On the 21st, Li Yuanhao magnified the Khitan son-in-law Xiao Huxi and returned to the country. In January of the fifth year of Qingli (1045), Liao and Xia negotiated peace.

On the 28th, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi were dismissed from the magistrate's affairs. On the 29th, Prime Minister Du Yan was dismissed. Jia Changchao was appointed as Privy Councilor and Prime Minister. Song Xiang, a scholar of the Zizheng Hall, was promoted to the magistrate's affairs. Wu Yu and Pang Ji were promoted to the deputy magistrate's affairs. On March 5th, Han Qi was dismissed from the magistrate's affairs. Perhaps it was not until this time that he would be awake: Without Fan Zhongyan, what is Han Qi? The funny thing is Yin Zhu. This person who particularly likes to fight with Fan Zhongyan faces the facts and is sad: Regret or pain? I can't explain clearly.

...He wrote a letter to the emperor, lamenting that "I used to see things in the past, but now I see things in the past" is all your words! But what is the reason why the emperor said this? Is it because of your efforts by Yoon Soo? Yoon Soo was very sad. After two years, he died of illness in 1047. The fanatical poet Shi Jie died earlier than him. He wrote hundreds of words to Xia Su. Xia Su only responded to one word, but he couldn't stand it and died a few months later. The great literary geniuses are so fragile...

In this way, the gentlemen with the new policy headed by Fan Zhongyan were kicked out of the court by the "little people" from top to bottom, from head to toe, and the Qingli New Policy, which had been implemented for more than a year, completely failed! The method was clean and neat, reasonable and legal, and the result was once and for all... In contrast, the gentlemen's collectively dysfunctional faces. Why is our failure?
