Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 711

This basic fact can be seen from Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate incident at the very beginning.

For the emperor, if the guardian of the house is not someone he really trusts, it is very likely that when he is sleeping, rowing, or eating, suddenly Yuchi Gong will come and tell him that the prince has rebelled!
During the Xuanwumen Incident, some people saw that Li Jiancheng poisoned Li Shimin, some people saw that Li Yuan had deposed Li Shimin's King Qin, and some people saw that Li Yuan lifted Li Shimin's military power and handed over Li Shimin's military power to Li Yuanji. The reason given was that Li Yuanji was going to fight the Turks.

But when Zhao Huan was studying this period of history, after chewing it over and over again, after thinking about it carefully, a doubt arose in his heart.

Yuchi Gong, why didn't he appear on the sea pool in the palace without being ordered?
Whether Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji, they are actually not Li Shimin's ultimate goal, only Li Yuan is.

The winner of this match is Yu Chigong.

Yu Chigong appeared on the boat in the Hougong Haichi, and [requested] Li Yuan issued a personal edict ordering all armies to accept Li Shimin's dispatch.

How did Yuchi Gong get into the palace?
Zhao Huan found a man named Chang He in the vast history.

He often served as the gate guard left and right Yizhong Lang, who happened to be the guard general of Xuanwu Gate. On the night before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he quietly oiled the hinges of the Xuanwu Gate to prevent Xuanwu Gate from being attacked. The sound of the door opening startled the others.

In the early morning of the next day, when Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji stepped into the Xuanwu Gate, the palace battle had actually come to an end.

The Xuanwu Gate Incident happened four times in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji forced Li Yuan to abdicate.

Zhang Jianzhi killed Zhang Yizhi, and Zhang Changzong forced Wu Zetian to abdicate.

Li Chongjun killed Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun and intended to kill Queen Wei and Princess Anle to force Li Xian to abdicate.

Li Longji and Princess Taiping killed Empress Wei, and Princess Anle helped Li Dan to the throne.

Among these four times, only Li Chongjun failed.

When Li Chongjun started the incident, he did not occupy the Xuanwu Gate immediately. Empress Wei was the first to climb to the top of the Xuanwu Gate.

After Li Longji, the Tang royal family became weak and weak, and various eunuchs made troubles. The reason was that the soldiers in charge of guarding the palace changed from the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty to the Shence Army. The direct leader is the eunuch.

The leadership of the Shence Army is held in the hands of the eunuchs, which makes the Shence Army and the eunuch group closely fit together.

Since Emperor Muzong of the Tang Dynasty, there were nine emperors in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, except for Emperor Jingzong and Emperor Ai, the other seven were all established by eunuchs.

The fundamental reason why the eunuch group can control the emperor's life, death, abolition and establishment is that they control the military power of the Shence Army and use the Shence Army as a tool to control the imperial power.

There is an essential difference between the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty restraining the emperor and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty.

The biggest difference is that the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor told them to die, the eunuchs would never see the sun the next day, and they might even commit suicide to apologize, saving the pollution of the owner's house.

In the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs didn't want the emperor to see the sun tomorrow, so they only needed a forged obituary, and another one was established.

Only after Zhao Huan has completed this period of history will he act both against Cheng Chuen and Enwei.

It is precisely because of the personal officials headed by Cheng Chu that they control the defense of the two palace gates of Dongyemen and Chongdemen.

Back then Zhao Kai entered the palace through Dongye Gate.

When Li Gang dealt with the nobles who came to Beijing from the eight sects, he asked the students to block the Chongde gate.

But now, when Zhao Huan returned to Bianjing, he could smell the wind and rain that was about to come. No matter how big a mistake Cheng Chu made at this time, as long as he was still loyal to himself, he could be forgiven.

And Cheng Chu's loyalty is not a problem at all, as high as 91 points.

Yue Fei is powerful, but he can't fly from Hetao to Bianjing to protect his own safety.

Zhao Huan rubbed his hands, and sat blankly on the seat in Wende Hall, staring at the imperial case in front of him who was no longer dripping in a daze, who is doing these things?What is their purpose?
Although he didn't think he had done a good job as an emperor, he had regained Yanyun Sixteen States, Hetao, and Liaodong one after another. In terms of martial arts, he should be regarded as the second emperor among the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty.

In terms of literature and governance, Zhao Huan did not overthrow the contribution of his useless emperor, whether it was the Academy of Painting, Cai Jing's school reform, or the official examination, Zhao Huan did not abandon it.

Even in terms of cultural governance, Yingtian, Bailu Academy, etc. were integrated to become the new Imperial College of the Song Dynasty, and actively arranged for those unemployed students to serve as pioneers in literacy among soldiers, teaching soldiers and rural people to read.

Zhao Huan felt that in terms of martial arts and martial arts, he did not lose too much money to anyone in the Great Song Dynasty.

Before Zhonghunming, he also reflected on himself whether his behavior was wrong and whether he was worthy of them.

The result is naturally no error.

"Who is it?" This was a question lingering in Zhao Huan's mind, he suddenly stood up and said, "Zhao Ying, go to Genyue Palace and tell the Supreme Emperor that I want to see him."

Zhao Ying frowned slightly and said: "Speaking of the Supreme Emperor, just now when Li Gong was handing over the affairs of the palace to his ministers, he said that since the incident of King Jing and King Su, he had never stepped out of the palace gate. , Said he was sick, but the Tai Hospital said that the Taishang Emperor had never been sick and could not take medicine."

Zhao Huan thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I have already lifted the restraining order, but he restrained himself."

"Has Li Gongzheng been here just now?" Zhao Huan finally came to his senses, staring blankly at the palace gate and asked.

Zhao Ying nodded: "Yes, Li Gong was watching the official's brows and thinking, so he left without disturbing the official."

"Then go and see the sick Supreme Emperor." Zhao Huan asked a little worriedly, and drove to Genyue Palace.

Genyue Palace is a palace built by Zhao Ji with all his efforts, and a rockery palace was piled up in Bianjing City.

Bianjing is attached to Gaoqianli, there are no lofty mountains and mountains, and there are few torrents and huge dips.

However, Zhao Ji believes that neither emperors nor gods can live in form, so he attaches great importance to the landscape setting of Shoushan Genyue.

Zhao Ji took the rare and strange spirit stones from all over the world, moved them to the beautiful and rare flowers and trees in the south, set up carved sills and curved sills, and built pavilions and pavilions. In the name of the birthday outline, he plundered the wealth of the Song Dynasty and purchased mountains and stones. Over a period of more than ten years, Shoushan Genyue Palace has become the most prosperous garden in Bianjing and the entire Song Dynasty for three hundred years.

Zhao Huan was dazzled when he walked in. There are artificial canals, lotus flowers, waterfalls, magnificent mountains and forests, animals and birds.

The flock of geese flying in the wind but the scenery in the sky is amazing.

Before he walked to Longevity Mountain, he looked at Zhao Ji's handwritten imperial records in thin gold style.Shaking his head helplessly, he said, "Luxury, it's really luxurious."

"How about building one in Yanjing? We will pay for it." Zhao Ying looked at the envy in the officials' eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Get out! I'm not a foolish king." Zhao Huan kicked Zhao Ying and said with a smile.

If Gen Yue builds another one, doesn't he hit the proverb of "The Stone Who Lost the Song Dynasty"?
The most extravagant thing about Zhao Huan's Yanjing Palace is the gold bricks that are all over the floor, which were earned by the labor relief supervisors.

"Your Majesty is coming? Hurry up, go make tea!" Zhao Ji ran out of the palace all the way, losing one of his shoes.

　Thanks to "another novice" for the reward, thank you for your support.
