Most people in this world are ordinary people, and Zhao Zhen is the same.
He never felt that there was anything extraordinary about himself.
However, fate brought him to the Song Dynasty and became the emperor among thousands of people.
It was difficult to be an official in the Song Dynasty, and it was especially difficult to be an official in Zhao Zhen.
Empress Dowager Liu E, who was ordered by the late emperor to supervise the country's governance and was only one step away from becoming emperor, was in charge every day.
Relying on the ancestral motto not to kill scholar-bureaucrats, a group of civil servants who pride themselves on giving direct advice are always watching.
Thinking about the next few years, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan and other figures who can only appear in textbooks will also come to him.
As an ordinary person, Zhao Zhen was not excited. He only felt like a harmless rabbit who was suddenly thrown into a herd of wild beasts...
…………
I have delayed releasing a new book for two months, so I would like to apologize to everyone in advance.
Old fans should know that Brother Huang’s book was originally written when he was unemployed at home and had no income, so he wanted to work full-time for a few months to make a transition.
Unexpectedly, the results after it was put on the shelves were beyond expectations. Thanks to everyone's love, I got the premium badge in one fell swoop, which gave me the idea to continue writing.
Brother Huang, this book has been along the way, and I am very grateful to everyone for their companionship and support. I also want to thank my editor Liu Xing for his tolerance and help.
Because of the lack of preparation in the early stage, the more I write this book, the more difficult it becomes.
I have carefully learned from many of the issues raised by everyone in the comments and tried to improve them. However, as the problems get bigger and bigger, it becomes more difficult to modify the direction of the story.
So in the middle and later stages, I am more inclined to shape and transform the characters.
Brother Yu's responsibility to the country and the country, the pain and hatred hidden in his heart, the conflict between Yu Qian's upright temperament and his desire to serve the Ming Lord...
The crazy loyal dog Eunuch Shu, the stubborn Mr. Wang with a bad temper, the money-loving Shen Pixiu, the double undercover young man, and Uncle Hu Dazong who seems to be waiting to die but is actually Emperor Taizong.
…
In addition to these, there are still some things that have not been well shaped, such as Chen Xun's vacillation and evil intentions, Wang Ao's schemes, Yu Shiyue's persistence...
I hope that everyone in the book is vivid and real, but the ambition is too great and the ability is not enough. Even after spending so long, there are still too many places that I feel are not well written and are not satisfactory.
Talking about the new book, about half a year ago, I started to have the idea of preparing a new book. I considered writing about Jiajing and Hongwu. The former was rejected at the outline stage, while the latter still felt that I could not find it after the beginning was written.
Feel.
So, I set my sights on other dynasties and discovered Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen.
As the most criticized dynasty in history, the Song Dynasty had many shortcomings. Zhao Zhen was the fourth emperor after the founding of the Song Dynasty, and he was also the first emperor who did not cause any trouble in the succession process. Later generations' evaluation of Zhao Zhen, reputation and reputation
Mixed.
Some people think that he governed through the arch, maintained peace and harmony, and trained famous ministers such as Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Bao Zheng, and Han Qi.
The Qingli New Deal led by him and Fan Zhongyan laid the foundation for Wang Anshi's later reform. He was kind-hearted and generous to others. Even when facing ordinary palace servants, he was unwilling to criticize more. What he did in his life was worthy of the word benevolence.
.
However, during his reign, the status of civil servants increased unprecedentedly, and famous generals such as Di Qing and Zhong Shiheng were not allowed to be reused, were repeatedly suppressed, and died in depression.
Still under the rule of Zhao Zhen, the Liao Dynasty pressed forward step by step, the annual currency increased again and again, and the Jin Dynasty gradually rose.
Xixia rebelled and proclaimed itself king. The Song Dynasty claimed to have millions of troops, but it suffered repeated defeats in the war against Xia. It had no choice but to use the so-called "year-old gift" to quell the war. The border was in a state of decay.
Under the hustle and bustle of Bianjing City, the intrigues of the ministers and the constant party disputes. The rich and powerful officials of the people occupy unlimited fields. Merger and counterfeiting are commonplace, so that the rich have a field of hope and the poor have no place to stand...
Renzong's benevolence can only be praised by the word benevolence.
In my opinion, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Zhenzong and Renzong periods, were no less dynastic turning points than the period from Zhengtong to Tianshun in the Ming Dynasty.
Although there were no drastic changes like the Civil Engineering Revolution, most of the hidden dangers to the demise of the Song Dynasty either developed and grew at this time, or sprouted at this time until they became irreversible.
At this time, although the Song Dynasty had just been founded, it was already like a giant whose body was gradually hollowed out. It seemed strong, but in fact it could not withstand any temptation.
Gold and jade can still be maintained on the outside, but failure on the inside is a foregone conclusion.
In the thick history books, can an ordinary grain of dust fall and shake the direction of history? I hope to find the answer to this question in the new book!
The new book was delayed for two months. During this period, I checked a lot of information and wrote many beginnings. I deleted and revised it repeatedly before finally choosing one I was satisfied with.
Just like Brother Huang's book, it still follows the route of power seeking and basically does not climb the technology tree. I hope everyone will like it.
Finally, apart from collecting, the most important thing about new books is reading.
The specific rules are that Qidian accounts with consumption records within three months must read the latest chapter for more than one minute and turn to the last page within 24 hours of the release of the latest chapter.
This data directly determines the resources and recommendations for the entire book. If you think the new book is to your taste, I hope you can support it in the new book period.
In addition, there are new book lists thirty days before the new book period to increase exposure, and recommendation votes, monthly votes and rewards will all be included in the list ranking.
Therefore, in the new book issue, there may be frequent requests for votes and rewards, and I hope you will understand.
…………
A new journey is about to begin, and I would like to thank everyone who supports me again.
So everyone, see you in the new book!
This chapter has been completed!
