Zhao Zhen naturally discovered the "seeking knowledge" eyes of the royal family and the nobles here. Naturally, he could not get things done now. After all, the main purpose of today is to sacrifice the land. It is inevitable that it will be heartbreaking to reform the royal family at this juncture.

Zhao Zhen had planned to attack the royal family long ago. The royal family is an important part of the wealthy family in Dongcheng and a relatively independent part. These people have a high opinion of themselves. Although they belong to the wealthy family in Dongcheng, they often exist independently of the wealthy family in Dongcheng.

Zhao Zhen used typical divisions and divisions to cut a huge target into two, which saved a lot of lightness. Although the royal family was a privileged class of the Song Dynasty, they had the most fatal shortcomings and existed based on imperial power.

In fact, the emperor is the leader of the royal family and their "master". It is impossible for the royal family to get rid of the control of the imperial power. Every step they take is to touch the core of the imperial power.

There is neither the possibility of going up nor the possibility of leaving, so the royal family is destined to rely on the existence of imperial power no matter what.

In the past, if the royal family and nobles and capital were joined forces, ordinary dynasties had already experienced crises, and the imperial power had interfered with their core interests. At this time, the contradictions and conflicts were enough to unite the nobles and nobles and wealthy families to eliminate those who interfere with their interests.

So what about the emperor? In the face of huge economic benefits, the emperor will become a stumbling block at this time, not their monarch and father!

The biggest reason why the Song Dynasty was so stable was that Zhao Zhen reformed the army early and won over the generals under his command.

Civil officials do not need to be connected. The current system of the Song Dynasty is that civil officials must support the imperial power. In this way, the nobles and some of the officials they cultivated have no chance to commit rebellion.

But even so, they have brewed several turmoils, all of which are related to the army.

Zhao Zhen was already alert to this. Whether it was the Ministry of War, the General Office of the Staff, or the secretly black hand, the Imperial City Department was staring at the every move of the Song army.

Zhao Zhen held all the military power firmly in his hands, and he would not hand it over to him until he felt that Zhao Xu was capable of taking charge, because this was his weapon to protect himself, his family, and the Song Dynasty. In a sense, Zhao Zhen himself was the "sword-holding man" of the Song Dynasty!

Only with the state's violent machine in hand can Zhao Zhen have the confidence to reform, only with the reform can the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, and a large amount of taxes, and only with the control of the Song Dynasty's finances can he have money to support the army. This is a cycle process, and no problem can occur in any link.

Zhao Zhen knew what the changes he brought to the Song Dynasty meant, and he would be overthrown in an instant, but only he knew that doing so was the right thing to do, it was a general trend and an inevitable process of national development.

Capitalism is emerging in feudal society, and the Song Dynasty is no longer in the so-called introductory stage of capitalism, but to some extent, it has entered the time for capitalism to develop.

The contradiction between imperial power and capital has begun to become prominent, and it has reached a point where it has to be resolved.

There were two types of capitalist existence in later generations, one was constitutional monarchy, the other was republic, and there were two types of republic, one was presidential republic and the other was parliamentary republic.

But Zhao Zhen found that none of the above meets the needs of the Song Dynasty. The Chinese people were a little surprised. They had experienced too many breakups and reunions. To a certain extent, they were even unwilling to be free, but were willing to move towards the future under the leadership of the emperor and under the leadership of this master.

So Zhao Zhen is following a path that people in the past have never thought about and have never taken in later generations, imperial capitalism.

This is not imperialism, nor is it simply capitalism, but a new political system that still belongs to the dynasty empire and economically belongs to capitalism.

The king still retained the supreme leadership of the feudal dynasty and the bureaucracy of the feudal era, but implemented the economic capitalist policy.

But the prerequisite is that as the king, Zhao Zhen must destroy the wealthy families he built up.

In a sense, the wealthy families in Dongcheng interfered with Zhao Zhen's plan. Over the years, he not only quit the court to check for omissions, but also studied the correctness of his own theoretical system.

This is a huge and complicated task. Zhao Zhen is constantly planning and implementing it. No one who truly understands Zhao Zhen's theory is in the Song Dynasty.

Even Mu Xiu, Zhang Congzhi and Su Shi in the Secret Pavilion were unaware of Zhao Zhen's plan.

Zhao Zhen suppressed the royal family, suppressed Buddhism, raised the status of all studies except Confucianism, and began to dismantle the huge interest groups such as the wealthy families in Dongcheng. These were all making comprehensive preparations for the transformation of the Song Dynasty.

This even includes sending Zhao Yun to the distant Abbotta, which was a spark that Zhao Zhen retained for the Song Dynasty and a backup to restart the best era of China.

In recent years, some people have begun to settle in Fang Abbott and leave the familiar hometown of the Song Dynasty forever. These people are the hopes of the future of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen equips these people with the best Confucian teachers and also gives them the most advanced ideas.

Probably the only one who knows Zhao Zhen’s plan is Zhao Yun. His personality and thoughts are close to his own son, which is Zhao Zhen’s greatest pride.

No one has read the content of the letters of the two over the years. They are all in the highest level of secret letters. Zhao Zhen will burn it after reading Zhao Yun's letters, and Zhao Yun is the same.

The father and son were doing something alarming but silent. Even Zhao Xu didn't know about it. Zhao Zhen had not decided to tell Zhao Xu this.

Zhao Xu is more than enough as a successful monarch, but he is indeed not suitable as an enterprising king who strives for change.

As a capable Zhao Yun, he naturally had to take on the heavy responsibility, and it was much more difficult to work outside than to maintain success in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen’s sentence “The promising child in the family should do the most difficult thing and achieve the other party’s great cause!” This sentence is not to comfort the queen and the prince, but to be honest.

For Zhao Zhen, the Tubo in the west was not the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty. As the Song Dynasty army began to change its firearms, foreign troubles in the enemy could no longer pose much threat to the Song Dynasty. This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen did not care about Tubo.
