Of course, the emperor had to pay for the reward of the army himself, of course he didn't need to manage it. He had his own supplies to go to the army to go there. Zhao Bing only asked, "Med meat should be enough and wine should be drunk." If you want to have tens of thousands of people eat a meal at the same time, you will also need a lot of supplies. They almost bought chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep from the surrounding 20 miles of towns, and fished shrimps in the lake. Finally, they gathered this good meal. Since the reward of the army must have wine, he had already prepared this. When he came, he purchased a large amount of wine in Shaoxing and drank it with the army.

Of course, Zhao Bing's money was not spent in vain. The reward for the army was to show his recognition of his contribution to them; the second was to increase morale. Wine and food were also a kind of spiritual comfort to these men who licked blood all day long; the third was to win people's hearts, so it was impossible to make people return home with just one meal, but it could show that he was in the army and wanted to go to the battlefield with them.

The next day, the entire Song army camp was filled with the aroma of wine and meat. Zhao Bing ordered the banquet to be placed on the garrison field of the central army tent, and hundreds of tables were placed in densely. The scene was very amazing. But tens of thousands of troops were lucky, not to mention being able to be with the emperor, even those on the same scene were lucky. Before the banquet, a commendation order was issued to commend those who made meritorious contributions in this battle.

Xu Hanqing was posthumously awarded the title of Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, and his wife was named the wife of Jian'an County. According to the saying, Mrs. Xu made meritorious service, but her husband was not worthy of money, let alone a dead person. However, in ancient times, this rule was that his wife was honored by her husband. If she wanted to give her title to Mrs. Xu, she could only promote her deceased husband first. According to the system, Xu Hanqing was only a Jinshi, and only a fifth-rank official, and his wife could only be a gentleman. People called her a wife a respectful title. But now she is worthy of her name and has become a third-rank county wife.

Later, Xie Ao and Xie Fangde were awarded the title of Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, ranking third-rank officials; ten people under the two divisions were promoted to the commander-in-chief, and thirty people were commanded by the commander-in-chief. In addition to the promotion, the lower-level officers and soldiers who had made contributions in combat were rewarded, with hundreds of stakes, and the few were dozens of stakes, and they were immediately distributed. For a time, the entire army was boiling and the morale was greatly boosted.

Zhao Bing knew very well that although these rebels used the imperial guards sent as their backbone, they were far away from the center and were still far from the center. They were still a little inferior. Only awarding titles without benefits was not enough. Therefore, giving money and goods is more than giving only honors. Receiving both fame and fortune is the highest ideal of most people. There are only a very small number of people who can be indifferent to fame and fortune and transcend the world. He often regarded himself as an ordinary person and never felt ashamed of loving money. If he had no money, he would use anything to maintain the operation of the dynasty and how could he support this army.

A military banquet for tens of thousands of people was naturally a joyful and happy, but Zhao Bing did not eat this meal well. Now there is no empress dowager's "blocking the gun" and everything needs to be dealt with by himself. But he does not like this noisy scene, but this is also a trouble caused by growth. He must adapt to this form of things, even a feast full of falsehood, or even intrigue...

Zhao Bing thought that the Yuan army would take advantage of the first arrival of reinforcements and everything was not yet complete. After the banquet, the slack attack was launched. However, after one night, the night attack did not happen, but it was safe. After getting up, he walked around the new palace and found that he actually lived in the same courtyard with the gods. It turned out that the place where Wen Tianxiang chose for him was actually a villa of the Dragon King Temple. Thinking about the fact that in Lin'an, the ministers stopped him from moving in on the grounds that the Deshou Palace was changed into a Taoist temple, but Wen Tianxiang took the initiative to choose such a place for him, which made him feel funny.

Of course, the place that can be used as a palace must be spacious and there are many rooms. Zhao Bing walked around and found that the Dragon King Temple was quite large, covering an area of ​​100 acres, and the temple had three places in total. The front hall was worshipped by the White Dragon King, the main hall was worshipped by the Buddha Tathagata, but the back hall was worshipped with nine heads, twenty-seven eyes, thirty-four arms, and sixteen legs. Zhao Bing knew that in Tibetan Buddhism, this deity was the incarnation of Manjushri. On the other side were houses and Sutra Towers for monks to live in. His residence was just a villa for pilgrims and lay Buddhists to temporarily live in, but the inside was also spacious and pure.

After reading it, Zhao Bing felt even more interesting. He felt that this temple had the intention of selling dog meat with sheep's head. He thought that the Buddha built here must have worshipped Buddhist gods, but the incense was incredible and there were not many believers. The monk also wanted to live. Faced with this desolate scene, he introduced the "Dragon King". It is close to the Yangtze River and has developed shipping. In order to seek peace, people who want to live on the water will give alms and burn incense in the temple. So they developed with foreign gods and gradually gained a scale. When the Mongolians came, in order to adapt to the change, they invited the unknown gods worshipped in the back hall and replaced them with Tibetan Buddhism figures.

Zhao Bing was amused and felt that the monks in the temple seemed to burn incense from which immortal "spirit" were suspected of being fickle. The slipperyness of the monks should not be the work of monks who jumped out of the world. But he knew that growing up and becoming bigger is the law of development of things. A seed is working hard to become a big tree, and this is even more so in complex human society. This is the instinct of biological competition. But what is different from other animals and plants is that people can consider the balance of social ecology for a wider and longer-term benefit and constantly change to adapt to the situation.

The monks in the temple may not understand these principles, but they know how to keep their incense alive and believers unabashed. However, this time it seems that they have worshipped the wrong gods. Now a monk in the temple has disappeared. It is said that when Wen Tianxiang was choosing a place to stay for the emperor, he found that there were gods and Buddhas enshrined here. He was furious. He took all the monks into the service army for hard labor on the grounds of unfaithfulness, and the temple property was confiscated. It was only when time was urgent that the back hall was not destroyed. Now it has become the garrison of the personal guard brigade, but it is not wasted.

Zhao Bing could only shake his head and smile bitterly at the right prime minister who was jealous of evil. A group of monks could be charged with it. It seemed that he had time to talk to him. When he returned to the palace, Wen Tianxiang had already led several ministers to accompany him. After he finished his meal, both sides discussed the matter of reinforcements and defense. Then the generals of each army were ordered to change the defense and re-arrange the camp. He wanted to go and inspect the terrain around Ezhou to decide how to break the city next.

Although the Sheji was comfortable to sit, its hull was not conducive to movement. The dragon boat was much more flexible and had a shallow draft, which was suitable for navigation in the world. With good protection, Zhao Bing still chose to travel with the dragon boat. Wen Tianxiang, Xie Ao and Xie Fangde were accompanied by their feelings and reason, and Chen Dun led the guard camp to take a dragon boat to accompany him.

The two dragon boats were guided in front, and the Warriors on Zhao Bing were in the middle, and two dragon boats were behind them. They entered Nanhu and turned west. He and Wen Tianxiang were in the front room of the top cabin. The view here was wide and the situation ahead was clear. The lake was calm and the dragon boat was very fast under the urging of the oarsmen. He took a telescope and looked north. The Song army was about eight miles away from the city, setting up camps at Jiahu Lake, digging trenches, building a dirt city, building a watchtower, confronting the enemy, and raising wooden railings along the lake as fences, but overall, it was still on the defensive.

"Wen Xiang, is that the Yellow Crane Tower?" When Zhao Bing saw a towering one floor in the south of the city, he felt that the location was wrong and turned his face to ask Wen Tianxiang.

"Your Majesty, this is the South Tower, not the Yellow Crane Tower!" Wen Tianxiang looked out and said.

"Nan Building?" Zhao Bing searched in his mind, and thought about the four famous buildings and four book buildings. He didn't even say anything about the South Building, and he was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Crane Tower was a wartime lookout building in the Sun Wu period. It later became a place for banquets and viewing, but it was damaged and rebuilt several times. By the Tang Dynasty, famous artists such as Li Bai, Wang Wei, Jia Dao and Bai Juyi all left great works, and Cui Hao's poems were even more masterpieces. After entering our dynasty, the building Zhouxiu had a small Xuan, a jingling and a Huating Pavilion, and it was still a place for literati and poets to chant and express their feelings. However, after crossing the south, this building had long been abandoned and the old site would no longer exist." Wen Tianxiang saw the little emperor's face ignorance and quickly explained.

"It turns out that Huang Heye is really gone forever!" Zhao Bing sighed after hearing this, but he felt glad that his siege would inevitably be damaged. Now at least the reputation of the ruined building in the ages will not fall on him.

"It is really regrettable that such a grand scene was destroyed. The Nanlou was built by our dynasty. It was on the top of Huanghu Mountain in the south of the prefecture. It was changed to Baiyun Pavilion in the middle. The system was grand and the view was particularly favorable. There were many towers in Ezhou, and this was the only one of the key points of the country. The scholars of our dynasty went to the South Tower to sing, but the Yellow Crane Tower was gradually forgotten, and the statement was far less than that of the South Tower." Wen Tianxiang said.

"Haha, the first floor is prospering, the first floor is declining, and it can be seen that the rise and fall of a country is just like this!" Zhao Bing couldn't help but smile and sigh. He thought of the development laws of things, and from prosperity to decline controls the world like a curse. Buildings are like this, people are like this, and history is still like this. After becoming the emperor, the teachers' teaching task was always important to let him know the reasons for the rise and fall of a country and learn from it. He also knew that eight hundred years later generations naturally had a deeper understanding than these people.

Anyone who has studied history knows that there is a historical cycle in Chinese history, and Zhao Bing is no exception. Speaking of China for 5,000 years, there have been countless regime changes in many regimes, and any regime will experience the rise and fall, governance and chaos, and the cycle will appear in a cycle. Extreme injustice will lead to the collapse of the original social system, and then the chaos will be reorganized after the chaos, thus achieving a new relatively fair and balanced social development model, which will continue to cycle. There will sometimes be hundreds of years of great governance, and sometimes hundreds of years of great chaos.

China's thousands of history has long been an agricultural country dominated by agricultural civilization. Land resources, as the most basic means of production, are essentially survival resources. As the basic means of production on which the most farmers rely on, the land is gone, and the economic resources on which the people rely on, especially the land resources, will gradually be taken away by the powerful, scholar-official, and landlord class, and then the imperial power will be gradually overturned. When it is difficult for them to continue to survive, they will inevitably find people to seize resources. When someone starts to lead their revolution, a new political force will be formed to overthrow the ancient imperial power. This power is large enough and will lead to the change of dynasties.

Zhao Bing also knew that some of the regime changes caused by the emperor's incompetence were the regime change, and he also understood that sometimes the regime change was not entirely because of the emperor's incompetence, but was difficult to return and sudden catastrophic events. The most typical case was Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He lived a simple and diligent life in the government affairs, but the Ming Dynasty was already full of holes in his hands. The interest groups had been seriously united, making it difficult to shake, and even the information from the upper and lower parts were seriously disconnected. A large amount of real civil information was difficult to reach the sky in time. In the end, the dynasty collapsed, and he was also hung on the crooked tree on the coal mountain with his hair and covered his face.

"Your Majesty, being able to understand the rise and fall of the country by the rise and fall of the first floor can be compared with Emperor Taizong of Tang who used a mirror as a guide to the rise and fall of the country." Wen Tianxiang said with politeness

"Yes, Your Majesty has been studying the books of sages over the years, listening to the words of sages, and practicing the ways of benevolence and filial piety. Now that Jiangnan is recovering, governing the country with the ways of sages, he will be able to expel the Yuan Dynasty and settle the Central Plains in the north. He will surely pass on our dynasty for hundreds of generations and last for thousands of years!" Xie Fangde nodded and said.

"I am not as wise as Taizong. I just want to recover my hometown. It is enough to see my ancestors and ancestors not be beaten and the people do not call me a foolish king!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said.

He knew that if he looked at a big history with personal emotions, it was often difficult to objectively understand it. Many historical events were only after historical precipitation. It should be said that both slave society and feudal society were advanced in the initial stage of its development. You cannot belittle the previous institutional innovation and historical process because of the later development of capitalist society and socialist society. Even if the Mongols were tyrannical, they could not completely deny that they created an unparalleled empire in the world, communicated with East-West cultural exchanges, and promoted the prosperity of international trade.

However, he still disagrees with Zhao Bing's statement that they governed the country by Confucianism. Because to a certain extent, Confucianism is a theory without a sense of history and lacks vitality, it can only be controlled by historical inertia. Because the core proposition of Confucianism is that individuals should establish a model of the high benevolence and virtue in their own life, which runs contrary to the natural laws of human life.
