The rise and fall of a country is a big issue. There are many people who read history and the conclusions they have come to are all kinds of strange ones.

But in this world, the mainstream view was that "the tyrant monarch and the slanderous ministers" led to the decline of the dynasty.

"When I read historical books, I always have to be a foolish monarch and slanderous ministers who control the dynasty at the end. But has it been caused by the destruction of the country caused by the foolish monarch and slanderous ministers for thousands of years? I think what is more important is land."

"When the land is not enough to be used, the people will be hungry and displaced. At this time, they will still use the old methods to rule the world. If they don't want to make progress, the hungry people will despair. At this time, the country is a dried haystack, and these people are the fire... They will ignite the world..."

"shut up!"

Zhao Zongshi drank Zhao Zhongzhen with a pale face, then bowed and said, "This child is young and ignorant, so I wish my father forgiven me."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "He is a good boy."

He turned around and Queen Cao glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen and asked curiously: "Are these things made by Chen An?"

Miscellaneous studies are the knowledge of Shen'an, and are a compulsory course in the Imperial Academy.

Zhao Zhongzhen lowered his head and nodded slightly.

He was worried that he would bring trouble to Chen An, so he refused to say more.

After Empress Cao left, Zhao Zongshi sighed: "You are so bold that you will go back and stay in the door for two days."

"yes."

Zhao Zhongzhen bowed and left.

What he said didn't know was shocking Zhao Zongshi.

"Zhongzhen's knowledge is so profound, not as good as that. But this is a good thing, and there is no worries about the future, so I can be considered as a peace of mind."

An eunuch next to him said, "The words of the little husband are so clear that he always feels that the Song Dynasty is like the Han and Tang dynasties in his words..."

"You can't say this again!"

Zhao Zongshi stopped the man and said, "The words of Zhongzhen today are not allowed to be circulated, otherwise..."

"Yes, king."

...

Empress Cao followed Zhao Zhen and followed him. Seeing that his face was indifferent, she asked, "Are the official angry?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "It's not annoyance, but shame."

"Shame and annoyed?"

Empress Cao felt that this emotion should not appear on Zhao Zhen.

"Yes! Shameless."

Zhao Zhen stopped and looked at the side with his hands behind his back, "That boy gave an example to talk about the rise and fall of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Isn't the Yellow Turban Rebellion just that those farmers can't survive? And the same was true for the former Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, how could An Lushan easily shake the country of the former Tang Dynasty? Land..."

Empress Cao said: "When I was at home, I heard that if the military system of the former Tang Dynasty was still there, at least An Lushan would not be able to rampant in the Central Plains..."

After An Lushan rebelled, the troops in various places were caught off guard. Due to the decline of the military system in the palace, the local government naturally could not resist, which led to the invincibility of the rebels.

"The people without land will rebel...rebellion..."

Zhao Zhen remembered the current situation of the Song Dynasty and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Isn't the Song Dynasty just not enough land now?"

Empress Cao was shocked, "There is nowhere to be here. Don't scare me in the official family."

She felt that the Song Dynasty was very stable in the deep palace. Zhao Zhongzhen's previous words were shocked, but it was still impossible for her to completely change her view of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You must read historical books, but you must not read them hard. If you can read your own opinions, it is naturally a good thing. Come."

"Official family."

"I want to appreciate Zhao Zhongzhen Yu's wishful thinking."

"yes."

After the news spread, the palace was in an uproar.

Ouyang Xiu said, "Your Majesty, I still dare to go."

Lao Ouyang is the representative of loyalty, which moved Zhao Zhen.

"I just can I train the imperial guards first?" Ouyang Xiu immediately showed his true face: "I think that there are only two companies that can train troops in the Song Dynasty, the Zhe family and the Zong family. It won't be possible to hand them over to any of them. Then I will be the leader. I suggest that the two companies go together to see who is more capable."

"It's amazing!"

Han Qi praised: "This not only allows us to check and balance each other, but also shows who is higher and lower. From then on, the two generals will be restrained by each other and there will be no risk of vassal states."

Zhao Zhen smiled at Ouyang Xiu: "Ouyang Qing is old and steadfast, what do you say... Han Qing, what?"

He was moved.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty cannot be guardians. Once the Xixia or Liao people come to provoke, they have to rely on them to resist.

So practice!

Han Qi thought about it carefully and said, "If you want to be a vassal state, your Majesty, now the Song Dynasty is dispatched troops to the Privy Council, the commander of the army is in the three yamen, and the generals are sent to the court before the war... In this way, the vassal state is impossible."

The three-fold isolation of the Song Dynasty effectively avoided the disaster of the feudal states.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, this situation was broken. Generals became the mainstream with troops.

Zhao Zhen said: "In this way... how is the Zhe family's Zhe's behavior?"

Han Qi said: "Zhe Kexing trained the Mangshan Army outside the city and made many achievements. I feel that the next generation of the Zhe family is probably going to be led by him."

Zhao Zhen nodded, knowing that he needed to show kindness and win over it.

He thought for a while and asked, "Where is the Zhong Family?"

"Zhong Yan!"

Han Qi seemed to have some research on this and said confidently: "The best person in the next generation of the Zhong family is Zhong Yan. Your Majesty, Zhong Yan is seeking to learn from Qingjian City, and now he is in the capital..."

...

"Qingjian City was built by my father and my husband. When he was digging a well, the craftsmen said that it was full of stones. My father offered a reward for digging stones. Later, a clear spring flowed out, which was called Qingjian City..."

In the Privy Council, Zhong Yan calmly talked about his achievements.

"... Xiaguan has heard of Qingjian City since he was a child, and has explored many things about Qingjian City. Now that Li Liangzuo has come to power, Xixia is afraid that there will be no peace. Xiaguan is thinking about when he can return to Qingjian City, for the sake of the official family and the Song Dynasty."

Just as Fuzhou City is the inherent territory of the Zhe family, Qingjian City is the same.

Zhong Yan wanted to take back his territory, but no one would question anything if he said this.

Zhang Sheng glanced at him and asked, "Have you ever had a conflict with Zhe Kexing?"

"Yes, the Xiaguan wanted to try the power of the Zhe family at that time, but Shen An was present."

He spoke calmly, as if he was not the one who suffered the loss that time.

This is the style of a general.

If you fail once, you will be depressed and upset, then you should take a shower and go to bed as soon as possible to avoid harming others and yourself.

Zhang Sheng nodded slightly, feeling that Zhong Yan had at least a demeanor.

"There is a line from Jingyuan to Huanqing, Huanqing to Yan'an Prefecture, and then to Qingjian City... If anything goes wrong, the people of Xixia will go straight in. The Zong family is quite prestigious there, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Sheng’s question seemed to be asking about strategy, but Zhong Yan said respectfully: “The officials in the lower ranks and officials will only act according to the orders of the court and the officials, and they dare not act rashly.”

Don't make small moves in private, otherwise you won't have any good results.
