The more Zhao Bing heard, the more he felt that he was being fooled again, and that he was being fooled by people who crossed the past and present. He knew that no matter when, it was right to restrict power, and those with power could not be allowed to do whatever they wanted. However, the "decentralization and checks and balances" of the Song Dynasty were so beautiful that the emperor who enjoyed the highest power could not do anything to do, after all, it was a bit obsessed with. He could not help but suspect that those modern people who praise the Song Dynasty had other intentions or had some meanings, otherwise why wouldn't they consider these unjust cases?

In theory, in the management system of the Song Dynasty, civil war suppressed military affairs, and through the censorship system, a strong check and balance was formed on the government led by the prime minister. However, Zhao Bing found that in the several unjust cases mentioned by Wen Tianxiang, almost no good ending was the Taiwanese officials or the censors. However, many of the people who fought in the process of framed these unjust cases were from the censors. At that time, they had no time to surrender to the prime minister who monopolized power, so how could they have the intention to form a strong check and balance on the government led by the prime minister?

Thinking of this, Zhao Bing's previous suspicion was aroused. The so-called "ancestor's family law" could not be said to be the meaning of the emperor himself, but was collectively shaped by the scholars and officials. After a long period of time, they were used to restrict the emperor's behavior and words and deeds. The same is true in reality. The teachings of Master Zhao Bing and the great scholars in the imperial lectures were almost instilling this idea. Now he is more confident in his judgment. The reason why most of the emperors of the Song Dynasty were mediocre, cowardly and impulsive was that the scholars were taught to the shackles and fell into the so-called ancestral family law.

Therefore, Zhao Bing felt that some people in his previous life said, "When the monarchs of the Song Dynasty performed behaviors that did not conform to the Confucian ideals, the literati and official groups often brought out the ancestral laws, which forced the monarch to make concessions." It is doubtful. It is not ruled out that some emperors did this, especially Emperor Renzong, who would have been named a role model for benevolent monarchs. He concluded that he was basically brainwashed by scholars, otherwise he would have done so many ridiculous things, and still obtained the posthumous title of benevolence after his death and was used as a successor to the typical education.

Of course, some emperors are a little stronger, and the so-called literati group became a decoration, otherwise Yue Fei would not have died on the New Year's Eve of the 11th year of Shaoxing. At that time, Emperor Gaozong ordered Yue Fei to die in the Dali Temple in Lin'an, and Yue Fei wrote eight big words "The sun is bright, the sun is bright" on the confession. However, the literati group did not bring out the ancestral laws, which forced the monarch to make concessions. It can be seen that in the eyes of Emperor Gaozong, what was written in the eyes of the priest can be discarded, let alone something "not written".

If you think about such unjust cases carefully, let alone other ones? This made Zhao Bing feel enlightened. In the past dynasties of the Song Dynasty, most of them succeeded with the support of emperors who considered the safety of their throne. Some of them abusive power and even used the names of emperors such as imperial criticism, internal criticism, edicts, and imperial edicts. They wanted to exclude dissidents and framed a crime against contemporary emperors.

It can be seen that this kind of "powerful ministers abuse their power" is like the empress dowager and eunuchs interfering in politics. It is a derivative phenomenon of imperial autocracy, but it is often worse than the monarch's autocracy itself. It is not difficult to find that from the mutiny of Zhao Kuangyin and Chenqiao's mutiny "become the world to the children" until now, his own child is in the world. For more than 300 years, he has been the Zhao family's family and has not been usurped by others. In this sense, the powerful ministers abuse their power is just a strange phenomenon that appears intermittently in the framework of imperial autocracy.

In this way, Zhao Bing felt that Wen Tianxiang's words were very reasonable. As long as the emperor had some political acumen and was not obsessed with the slightest, it would be difficult to be used by those who were ill-behaved, and the ministers were tyrannical. But he was still worried that although those powerful ministers had not been able to successfully usurp the throne, they could achieve the purpose of autocracy by manipulating the decree of the emperor's heirs. Now he is also facing such a crisis, so he is more concerned about the "Ji King Zhao Huo Case", and he is a victim in the struggle for the succession of the throne...

Zhao Xun, also known as Zhao Jun and Zhao Guihe, was successively named Duke Qi and Duke Ji and was also made prince. His father was Zhao Xiqu, and Zhao Defang, the fourth son of the more famous Song Taizu in history, was his eighth-generation ancestor. He changed his name many times and each time he changed it, and it was accompanied by his ups and downs.

At first, because of the death of Emperor Ningzong of Song, Zhao Han, King Hui of Yijing, no descendants of his descendants, Zhao Jun was named Zhao Jun and Zhao Guihe. Later, after the death of Prince Zhao Xun of Jingxian, when Emperor Ningzong had no other descendants, Zhao Jun, the emperor's nephew of Emperor Ningzong of Song, was appointed as the prince and was given the name of Zhao Jun and could inherit the throne in the future. From here, it can be seen that Zhao Jun will surely be prosperous and powerful in the future.

However, the development of the facts was beyond the expectations of the world. Zhao Rong, who should have inherited the throne after Ningzong's death, was abolished and renamed King Ji, and moved to Huzhou to inherit the throne. Someone else would have the result of Zhao Rong himself, but also the work of the Prime Minister Shi Miyuan at that time. At that time, Shi Miyuan once presented Zhao Rong with a beautiful woman who was good at piano skills, and he wanted to monitor Zhao Rong and learn about Zhao Rong's every move.

Zhao Rong is not very scheming, he likes playing the piano. Once, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan gave Zhao Rong a beautiful woman who is very good at playing the piano. She is not only good at playing the piano, but also very well-educated. Therefore, Zhao Rong likes her very much, but she did not guess anything else, so she did not avoid her in everything. But this beauty was sent by Shi Miyuan to monitor him and told Shi Miyuan every move.

At that time, a map was hung on the walls of the palace. Zhao Feng pointed to the location of Qiongyazhou on the map and said that if he succeeded in the future, he would arrange Shi Miyuan to that place. He also called Shi Miyuan Xinen, intending to express that he would be exiled to Xinzhou or Enzhou in the future. Shi Miyuan knew these things, so he used the precious and novel things to test Zhao Feng's meaning on July 7th, but Zhao Feng broke those things with the will of wine. Later, Shi Miyuan was very scared and thought about what to do with Zhao Feng all day long, but Zhao Feng didn't know these things at all. In the end, Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang colluded with each other and changed Zhao Yun to the emperor.

If Zhao Rong was negligent and conspired, it was understandable that he was plotted against him, but what he borrowed was simply brainless. When he lost the throne and was granted the title of Shaobao, he was granted the title of King Ji, and lived in Huzhou. Pan Ren, a student here, was very dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan's act of changing the emperor without authorization, so he brought his brothers Pan Fu, Pan Bing and others to launch a coup with Li Quan of the Shandong Red Coat Army, hoping to support Zhao Rong as emperor.

Zhao Rong didn't think about whether the coup could be successful with a scholar's comments and a promise that had never been in contact with Li Quan and his unknown falsehood, but he believed it. Unexpectedly, when the agreed time was reached, Li Quan and his soldiers were still missing. In desperation, Pan Ren and others organized a group of salt vendors and fishermen to enter Huzhou City in the middle of the night, and hugged Zhao Rong, who was wearing a yellow robe, into the prefecture yamen, and made him emperor.

Later, Pan Ren published a list in the name of Li Quan, claiming that he had 200,000 elite soldiers and was about to attack Lin'an, and citing Shi Miyuan's crimes one by one. However, Zhao Rong found that there were no 200,000 elite soldiers, and only less than a hundred civilians. So in order to protect himself, Zhao Rong informed the court of the news, and led the provincial soldiers to arrest Pan Ren and others. The coup was quickly calmed down, but Shi Miyuan was frightened and claimed that he was sick but took this opportunity to send his disciples to hang himself.

Everyone thinks that the injustice of King Ji Zhao Yong has a dual meaning. Li Zong's throne should have been his, but because he was dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan's arbitrary power, he complained a few times and spread it to Shi Miyuan, which made Shi Miyuan deliberately abolish the crown prince and forged an edict to establish Li Zong. This matter was wronged; Zhao Hong was demoted to King Ji, and the local people were unfair to him and uprising and supporting him as emperor. Zhao Hong knew very well that this matter was large and sent people to report it and led troops to "examination of rebellion". In fact, these "rebellions" that were criticized were also very wronged.

Afterwards, Shi Miyuan and Lizong still blamed Zhao Rong for the incident and forced him to commit suicide. Everyone thought this was a grievance. Many ministers, including the master of Neo-Confucianism, and Wei Leweng wrote a letter to complain about Zhao Rong, and were demoted to the court by Shi Miyuan. Once disasters and wars occurred, some people would blame Zhao Rong for the injustice. It was not until the time of Emperor Gong that Empress Dowager Xie was in charge of the government affairs that the title of Zhao Rong was restored at the suggestion of the court officials.

After hearing this, Zhao Bing felt that this guy was not only not complaining about his death, but instead seeking death. He was simply a brainless person. When he was chosen by Ningzong as his heir, he should have understood what he did, but there were still many variables before ascending the throne. Not only should he be careful in his words and actions, but he should also be careful of villains' plots, and he should also be a good child, "respect his parents" and make them happy. He should also have a good relationship with officials in the court, but never express his political views easily to avoid making enemies for no reason.

But Zhao Feng was not only neglected to prevent others from scheming, but also felt that becoming emperor was a matter of holding hands and commenting on court officials. After provoking Shi Miyuan, he did not have any remaining actions, but just let others wait and see like a child. According to Zhao Bing's idea, either surrender as soon as possible and repair the relationship; or he would completely tear him apart and kill him, which would have been eliminated. But he did nothing, but his opponent began to secretly plan to plot against him.

When Emperor Ningzong was seriously ill, Shi Miyuan sent his clerk Yu Tianxi to find Zhao Yuju, the son of the royal family member Zhao Xiyuan, to Lin'an, and asked Zheng Qingzhi for his guidance. Later, he was appointed King Zhao Han of Yi, and changed his name to Zhao Guicheng. At the same time, Shi Miyuan also left Ningzong, Empress Yang and Zhao Hong, and made suggestions to make Zhao Guicheng the prince again. Although Ningzong did not allow it, what Zhao Xun did at this moment should not be complacent, but to be vigilant and regard him as a competitor. If he was a similar emperor, he would try to get rid of him. If he didn't want to behave, he would give up the place as soon as possible to avoid suffering in the future.

Another thing is that when Ningzong died, Zhao Rong should have obtained the news as soon as possible. He should quickly block the palace ban as the crown prince, prohibiting irrelevant people from entering, so as not to cause trouble. But he obviously did nothing. Shi Miyuan asked Yang Ju, the son of the national uncle Yang Cishan, to enter the palace seven times in one night, and persuade Empress Yang for the good and bad fortune of the Yang family, so that Empress Yang finally agreed to replace him. Shi Miyuan immediately sent an envoy to the palace of Prince Hui, Xuan summoned Zhao Yun into the palace, and ascended the throne at the last moment. After he entered the palace, everything was too late. Xia Zhen, the commander in front of the palace, suppressed him and gave a big gift to the new emperor.

What he did after being demoted to Huzhou was even more childish. Anyone with a little brain would know that Li Quan of the Red Coat Army was just a bandit at both ends of the snake's tail and was far away in Shandong. Can he obey his mobilization? In addition, he didn't think about whether even if Li Quan was willing to come, could the 200,000 army cross the Yellow River and the Yangtze River come to Huzhou under the noses of the Jin army. Even if he entered the Song realm like a god, could the Song Dynasty allow its army to approach the capital?

However, Zhao Feng believed Pan Ren's instigation without thinking that he was just a tyrant who had not graduated and had no official position. Just by his tongue, he could tell Li Quan that he was a sloppy man to send out a army of 200,000. In fact, Li Quan's life in Shandong was extremely difficult, and he had to rely on the help of the court to live. Even he didn't have so many people. He claimed that he was 200,000 but wanted to cheat more relief food!

Zhao Rong was counting on such a person to help him succeed in rebellion? Zhao Bing thought it was a fool. If he met Pan Ren and tied him to the court first to avoid being implicated. After the uprising, when he found that there were only a hundred people and the reinforcements were hopeless, the best way was to conceal the truth, but not let those madmen issue manifestos and post notices to make the matter big. When it was announced, even if he led his army to "put the rebellion", it would fall into his crotch. It was either shit or shit, and he could not escape.

If Zhao Bing encounters such a thing, he will definitely kill them all, and there is no need to use any assassination methods. For example, those who make suggestions and demand rehabilitation, they will use any other reasons to make them clear of the canon by complicitly conspiring to punish them. Instead, they will give people a handle, which makes them feel guilty. So from the perspective of the emperor, no matter whether it is Zhao Rong's death or many commentators who have been dismissed from office and exiled!

Zhao Bing also found that these civil officials were not easy to rebel as Taizu said, but they didn't seem to have a bright mind. Lizong and Shi Miyuan rehabilitated Zhaoxue for the "pseudo-learning and rebellion of the party" case, and praised Zhu Xi, who was almost killed by "shao Shao Zhengmao" to the nine heavens. He sometimes "chased the Duke of Xin", sometimes "changed the Duke of Hui", and sometimes "rewarded the Confucius Temple", but he refused to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the unjust case of King Ji Zhao Xun? Because rehabilitation of Zhaoxue means his denial of himself!
