The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The historical lessons left by foreign relatives in the Han Dynasty are deeply painful enough. The lessons of Yang Guozhong alone in the Tang Dynasty are enough to be deafening and terrifying! Chinese people do not always have poor memory, and they always forget or refuse to accept their predecessors' blood coagulation.

The emperors, including their wives, couldn't help but feel that the lessons left by the autocracy of foreign relatives were too profound and painful! The thoughts of the people are inevitably scared. Therefore, from the perspective of system and family law, prevent and restrict

The autocracy of relatives of foreign countries becomes the inevitable political choice of successor dynasties.

The Song Dynasty accepted the lessons of foreign relatives' interference in politics caused national turmoil and even the country's destruction. Since its founding, strict regulations were formulated to avoid the phenomenon of foreign relatives' interference in politics, which was called "receiving titles and paying responsibilities and not giving power."

It means that they can be granted official positions, and it is not small, but it is just a false position such as a general or a general, that is, a high salary, and there is no real power, and of course there is no chance to interfere in politics. After death, he died.

If you have not made any big mistakes, you will often be posthumously awarded as a title like Taibao, Jiedushi, and Zhongshuling to coax the dead and comfort the living. There are also many relatives who can become high-ranking officials, but they can really do it.

When the prime minister is in power, it is possible that most people who have no direct in-law relationship with the empress dowager, queen, and the emperor's favorite concubine.

However, these systems cannot prevent the women in the harem from moving forward. The most brilliant and glorious woman in the inner court is of course the woman who is fortunate to obtain the throne of the queen and use all her tricks and means to protect it.

When the emperor dies, his son will be able to inherit the throne and become the empress dowager. He can still live his life and die in his life. However, in order to achieve this goal, in addition to relying on his own beauty, scheming and luck, it is undoubtedly necessary to find political helpers.

But besides my father and brother, where can I find a more considerate political helper than them?

According to human nature, she should praise her father and brother, encourage and encourage the emperor to reward her father and brother with a good reputation. From the perspective of the emperor, the relatives of the foreign country are always "relatives" and they are always compared to their own family.

Don't worry about outsiders and be loyal to themselves. But this situation often doesn't work in the Song Dynasty, especially Zhao Qi, a later generation. He hates nepotism...

The emperor has few concubines, but Zhu Shuzhen can't feel relaxed at all. Because these sisters are not simple characters, they are not only smart and wise, understanding, but also have a strong family background. Compared with them, Zhu Shuzhen

She felt that she was just an ugly duckling. She also wanted to recruit beautiful girls and select some concubines from them to disperse the emperor's favor, but the emperor was not good at this and repeatedly rejected her suggestions.

After several concubines gave birth to princes one after another, Zhu Shuzhen had a very unhappy relationship with the emperor because of the appointment of the crown prince, which made her feel that the crisis was approaching. In order to consolidate her position, Zhu Shuzhen thought of

Of course, it was his father and brother, but for so many years, no matter how indirect he was, the emperor was willing to give them a higher salary and refused to give them a real position.

Some time ago, because of the Western Expedition to Gaochang and the Western Liao Dynasty, the emperor frequently went to Yu Liyan's bedroom, and of course he could not avoid sleeping overnight. This made Zhu Shuzhen even more uneasy. In order to consolidate the newly harvested land in the Western Regions and the northwest, the emperor

You will inevitably favor Yu Liyan even more. To show your sincerity, it will inevitably make your relationship deeper over time. It is possible to depose the queen or establish his son but not save him.

Just as Zhu Shuzhen was anxious and suddenly heard about the emperor's abdication, she immediately panicked. If the emperor stopped being accusing her, she would have lost her queen, let alone her son would become the emperor in the future. She immediately wanted to be cautious.

Contact his mother's brother in Beijing and asked them to investigate whether there was any such incident, but did not ask the emperor for confirmation. This incident had been circulating in the market for some days. Of course, it was easy to "confirm" the abdication. Zhu Shu

After realizing the "truth", he immediately wanted to meet the saint to dissuade him, but his brother stopped him.

The uncle Zhu Bao analyzed the current situation for his sister. The emperor always said that he would do his best. If you persuade him, he would definitely not be able to do it well. If he didn't do it well, it would backfire. Because he was scolded and neglected by the emperor, his relationship with the emperor would be even more serious.

Nervous, you must find another way, it is best not to let the emperor know. After thinking for a long time, Zhu Bao gave her an idea, that is, to bring things higher and let everyone know about it, so that they can achieve

With the help of public opinion, the emperor forced the idea of ​​giving way back.

The queen could not leave the palace to do this matter personally. The big task naturally fell on Zhu Bao, but this also took him a chore. The question is what kind of channels to go through and who to do it.

In this matter, Zhu's father also passed the imperial examination. Although Zhu Bao's literary talent almost passed the imperial examination, he was later awarded the title of Jinshi and should be classified as a scholar. The emperor's appointment was related to the interests of the vast number of scholars.

Their help should be the right way, but it won't work for the Zhu family and his son.

This is because the Zhu family changed its identity after the queen, and in the eyes of the world, foreign relatives entered politics by relying on the nepotism formed by women in the family and climbed to a high position of power. For ordinary people, especially those who rely on their own moral talents,

Some scholars and officials who were in a noble manner both had to be fair, but also caused them to be jealous, even despised and despised. In history, scholars always failed most in political struggles and power competitions with relatives. Failure was always the same.

It is frustrating and even heart-wrenching, so it naturally allows scholars to exclude their relatives from their own circles, even if they were scholars.

The relatives of the foreigners often undergo psychological changes with their status and identity. In their opinion, everyone has strong power and political ambitions. No one disagrees with this special marriage in his family and is indifferent; nor does he have any more than a person.

Which one does not make full use of this marriage, and uses it as a stepping stone to lead to high-ranking officials in the career and climbing the ladder. The differences in concepts make them themselves unaware of and estimate the indifference and exclusion of scholars, so they are wise to the scholars and officials.

, and must be full of guardianship, jealousy, and even hostility.

The two sides did not buy into each other, and they were already alienated. In addition, the irreconcilable conflict made Zhu Bao unable to complete this with the help of the scholars who were closest to him but the farthest. He wanted to mobilize the people to dissuade the emperor from giving way,

Not to mention whether he has the ability or not, the identity of the uncle made him unable to put down his figure and deal with the untouchables, and this road was blocked.

Officials in the Song Dynasty had a long tradition of doing business. Although they had strictly restricted them in previous dynasties, they had little effect. Zhao Qi and others later took the opportunity of rectifying the administration and rectified them to restrain themselves. However, this ban was

There is no restriction on those idle officials, after all, everyone has to make a living. Zhu Bao has nothing to do in these years. Zhu's family uses the titles of the father-in-law and uncle above his head to do some business. The emperor has never "relied on their own" to them.

With more intervention, Zhu's family has really made a lot of money over the years, and at the same time, he has accumulated some connections in the business community in the Jingji area. After thinking about it, he turned his mind to the group he was most familiar with.

The Song Dynasty's policy of not suppressing industry and commerce has created a century of prosperity. After Zhao Qiong succeeded to the throne, he introduced a series of policies to encourage industry and commerce, actively expand overseas trade, and enable commerce to develop rapidly again, bringing rich tax revenue to the country, while merchants became

They hope that this state will continue, and the premise is that the emperor cannot change, and the rumors of giving way have made them feel uneasy. Now the uncle of the dynasty came out to confirm it again, and they were afraid.

Get up, worrying that your interests will be harmed.

Zhu Bao used the fear of the merchants and secretly signaled through the channels he controlled to the merchants that they had to find a way to prevent the emperor from giving way. The facts proved that his move was very effective, and the merchants quickly responded, and everyone decided to join forces to keep warm.

Together to deal with this sudden crisis, various guilds issued initiatives to their subordinates, calling on everyone to dissuade the emperor from abdicating, and they became the earliest promoters of this storm...

"Your Majesty, all kinds of signs indicate that the business world is involved in the storm. It was Zhu Guojiu who planned and encouraged him later. The purpose was to prevent His Majesty from abdicating, and he did not find any other intentions!" Li Jun finished the whole story and concluded the whole story.

road.

"Well, I know! How deeply is the queen involved?" Zhao Qi quietly listened to the report of Xi and Li Jun, his face was as normal, but his heart was not calm. Erqi was just an eunuch, and Zhu Bao was not a single person.

The powerful uncles are not considered big names. But one is a powerful minister in order to change the dynasty and change the ages, and the other is also trying to preserve his position while gaining real power, and he fabricated such a lie. But there are only two small people.

But it caused chaos throughout the Song Dynasty, which shows how tempting power is.

"Your Majesty, the Zhu family has limited strength and the queen cannot get more support from the outside world. According to the verification by subordinates, the situation is no longer what they can control after the joint letter of the business community. Among them, there are other people who contributed to the fire. I think it is

The queen was eager to protect her master, so she did these confused things!" Li Jun looked at the emperor and said carefully. The matter involved the emperor's housework, and he dared not say more.

"Haha, although it's understandable, she can't escape the blame, and I have an unshirkable blame!" Zhao Qi said with a wry smile. He heard that in order not to embarrass him, the queen was relieved in his words in order not to embarrass him.

It means that things have a lot to do with her when things develop to this point. And neither the emperor nor the husband noticed the abnormality, and he is also responsible. Perhaps it is because of his neglect that he has become strongly

Uneasy, he responded overreaction... (To be continued...)
