Chapter 1181 Difficult to reconcile

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, so as not to hurt your body!" Ma Duanlin sent a new memorial, but saw the little emperor throwing a stack of memorials aside. While he packed up, he looked through a few books. Some of them were written in cinnabar pen with 'nons', 'crazy heart', 'the heart is punishable', etc., and some even just drew a big red cross, and immediately realized that the little emperor was angry.

"It's all a bastard. The lewd man claimed that he was a mistake in using military forces against the Mongolian Yuan. He pointed out that I was a powerful military move and had to put the people in Jiangnan in danger. He should discuss peace with the Tartars as soon as possible and make a hundred years of good luck!" Zhao Bing drew a fork on the memorial in his hand and said with a hatred.

"He is just a fool. He must be drunk again and has crazy words. Why should you be angry with him?" Ma Duanlin naturally knew that the old lewd man in His Majesty's mouth was Fang Hui from Yinyue Poetry Club, and said with a wry smile.

"Are you drunk too much? You actually said that building muskets and casting cannons is a waste of money and is useless to make money. It is not helpful to success or failure. You also said that as long as I imitate Yao and Shun to cultivate my heart and morality, I can make the Mongols surrender and the people obey. Referring to Chen Pu and other famous scholars, you will gather wise men in the world, and the Song Dynasty is ready to revive! Isn't this nonsense? You should really send them to the front line and let them tell the Tartars about the way of Yao and Shun, and persuade them to cultivate their heart and virtue!" Zhao Bing said with a sneer.

"Alas, they also want to recommend the wise and capable to Your Majesty, but in desperation, the method is inappropriate..." Ma Duanlin also knew that Chen Pu was indeed a famous Confucian scholar, but he was a very military layman and could not propose a strategic plan like "Longzhong Tong". The group of people below must have no way to enter the government, so they wanted to use the recommendation of him to the court to find a way out for him. However, these words were erected with Your Majesty's strategy to govern the country, which made Your Majesty even more disgusted. He wanted to defend him for a few words, but thinking that his actions were really dirty, his face turned red first, and it was hard to continue.

"If they have real talents and knowledge, I will not be stingy with high officials and generous salaries. However, the strategies they offer are all about misleading the country and making the king's words, and they will only talk big, and they have no talent to govern the world and calm the people. Appointing them as officials will not let the country be destroyed and the family be destroyed, and the people will suffer!" Zhao Bing said disgustedly. He also knew that after the recovery of the two Huai Rivers, the court needed to send a large number of officials to Mushou, but they did not have their share. In desperation, he recommended himself. It would be fine if he recommended himself, but he could not satisfy his appetite. He had to go to generals and ministers and take charge of the center. He really didn't know how many bowls of dry rice he had to eat.

"They may only say arrogantly because they are eager to serve the country. Why should you be angry with them?" Although Ma Duanlin has been by Your Majesty for only two years, he is also knowledgeable. He thought that these people are really crazy. He doesn't know how much he is. He has no experience in governing. He is worried that they will be the prime minister even if they retreat. Even if they retreat, they will be in charge of the two Huai Rivers. A group of people only know how to talk about Fengyue, and how can they know how to manage the place? Unfilial said that the Mongol Yuan was put on the pounce, and even a few bandits were afraid that they would be helpless. They could leave after something happened, but the account would be settled on His Majesty.

"There are no need to be sent to the case in the future. Just call them back to the Secretariat and let them deal with it!" Zhao Bing was already impatient and frowned when he looked at the large stack of memorials sent again.

"Your Majesty, I still have to see. Many of them are from Liu Dutong!" Ma Duanlin said with a wry smile, but he did not dare to deal with these memorials casually, otherwise I wonder how many people would chase him.

"Oh, they really can't hold back!" Zhao Bing glanced at her face and said with a gloomy face...

Zhao Bing still has a clear understanding of the contradiction between the current Qingliu and his current governance. What he saw and heard in his previous life and his experience in governing this life made him understand that the root of the current storm is because the disintegration of the old ruling order is mostly the product of intensification of contradictions, while the reconstruction of the new ruling order and the new unified situation must be based on the integration of various contradictions and elimination of various centrifugal forces. However, integrating various contradictions and eliminating various centrifugal forces usually requires a complex process.

Zhao Bing thought that the transition from entering Qiongzhou to regaining Jiangnan could be regarded as a historical stage. At that time, the fall of Lin'an, the emperor's north hunting could be regarded as the demise of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty in the Mongols and Yuan dynasties could also be regarded as the intensification of various social contradictions, not just military failures. Before the final demise of the old dynasty, it was often the focus of various contradictions. At that time, the serious political ruling crisis and fiscal crisis of the Song court had deepened social contradictions, and at the same time it made the internal contradictions of the ruling class increasingly fierce, causing corruption in the government to lead to the loss of people's hearts, and then collapsed under the invasion of foreign races.

At this time, the exiled regime led by Zhao Bing can be regarded as a force between the alternation of the new and old regimes. At that time, it was in the period from the old ruling order, the disintegration of the old unified situation to the new ruling order, and the establishment of the new unified situation. Contradiction can also be used as a temporary tool to maintain various centrifugal forces. That is to say, the centrifugal force at this time was mainly presented to the old dynasty ruling order. Therefore, although the struggle was sharp at this time, the form and scope were still simple, and the spearhead was also relatively concentrated.

At that time, the Song Dynasty had already died in name only, and the focus of the contradiction had shifted to the contradiction among the nations. If Zhao Bing wanted to gain widespread support, he had to rely on and use this contradiction, and even adopt certain strategies to promote the general intensification of the contradictions to expand its influence. Of course, it could not be used as a basis for rebuilding the new order, but it concealed the contradictions between forces of all parties and made him to change the old rules to be tolerated.

Therefore, when he was in Qiongzhou, whether he improved the status of warriors, launched a large-scale slaughter of officials, massacred the Pu clan, eliminated traitors, and plundered their family wealth, he could still be tolerated by the main contradictions, or even praised it. Even if there were twists and turns, he could be quickly suppressed by the voice of justice, because these methods were regarded as necessary means to restore the country.

However, after regaining Jiangnan, Zhao Bing was resisted when he acted in these ways. However, he did not realize that the situation had changed, and the main contradictions had also changed quietly. Therefore, he regarded the voices of opposition as a manifestation of the old forces' unwillingness to fail, and then used more severe means to suppress them, treating those who were in contact with the Mongol Yuan as enemies threatening their rule. The result was that the conflict with Qingliu intensified, resulting in the crisis of ruling after entering Jiangnan, and had to quell the conflicts with the scholars.

After that, Zhao Bing still called on all forces to support the new regime under the slogan of "Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Herma Horse West", to intensify the conflicts with the Mongol Yuan through constant wars, and wanted to continue to reform the old rules. Although it was also effective, the resistance increased significantly. He had already proposed an imperial edict to re-examine the code, but two years have passed and the letter has not been written yet. Even the participants are still arguing about "the law does not tolerate emotion" or "the emotion is greater than the law".

Unfortunately, he still did not realize the root of it. It was not until his troops entered the Huai River and wanted to seize the Central Plains that the voices of opposition suddenly increased, which made Zhao Bing begin to reflect deeply. At this time, the Mongol Yuan forces were driven out of the south of the Yangtze River, and the main contradictions lost a focus that could be gathered. The still existing contradictions were dispersed into contradictions within a relatively wide range, and the centrifugal force also appeared as a general centrifugal force. Realizing that ethnic conflicts tended to eliminate bait, the center of gravity of the problem was also definitely different.

At this time, the core of the problem has become: after the old ruling order is completely destroyed, what resources can be used to reintegrate the world, integrate various social contradictions, and eliminate various centrifugal forces in order to rebuild a new ruling order and a new unified situation. Then the previous practices cannot adapt to the new situation, because this is contrary to the purpose of reintegrating the world. What is needed is to eliminate contradictions and then integrate various contradictions, rather than intensify them.

However, after Zhao Bing took over Jiangnan, he reorganized the Taixue and established a vocational college, and moved Qiongzhou to the place where officials governed the countryside. These greatly stimulated the nerves of scholars. The reorganized the Taixue for subject education broke the system of a single Confucian education and destroyed the tradition of literati and officials' rule; and the participation of officials in governing grassroots regimes also caused the past tradition of gentry governing the countryside to collapse, and the voice of scholars was reduced. The scholar class felt that their power was threatened and it was difficult to control public opinion, which made them panic and anxious, and instead began to criticize the government and oppose change, in order to safeguard their class interests.

However, even though Zhao Bing understands it now, he does not want to compromise on all matters of change, but insists on his own ideas. Because he knows that historical changes are complex, it requires the most important thing for participants to have a sense of saving the people from the fire and saving the world, and to think of the sufferings of the people and the people of the world. After the old order was destroyed, it is his responsibility to clarify the world again, stabilize the world, and rebuild unification, rather than to be a selfish thought, to be king and dominate, to be greedy and resilient to killing, and not to let a group of gangsters take power.

But the usual situation is that once the old social order disintegrates, all kinds of energy hidden in society are released, and the quality of those involved is uneven. How many people can have the desire to save the people from the world? If after they established the regime, the world has not yet been pacified and the people have not yet recovered, they will indulge in personal pleasures, greed and unrestrained, and do not think about the suffering of the people. If there is not even this basic feeling, there will be no great strategy to help the world and unify the world.
