"The court, the entire Shilin, and even the clan and generals are all hoping that my nephew will be able to regain his life."

Zhao Huan said: "Once my nephew takes back his life, it means that he bows his head to them and admits his mistake. There will be a second time and a third time until the situation returns to the situation when Emperor Renzong was there again."

"There's nothing wrong with Emperor Renzong, right?"

Empress Dowager Meng said: "Who in the world doesn't know that Emperor Renzong is a good emperor? Do the officials think that Emperor Renzong is not a good emperor?"

"An emperor who is lenient but not judgmental and has no fixed ambitions is definitely a good emperor for officials."

Zhao Huan gently beat Empress Dowager Meng's shoulders and said: "But, he forgot that he is an emperor who controls the world, follows the rules, and rises and falls in succession!

Being tolerant to others and being good at accepting advice are certainly advantages, but allowing the Liao Kingdom to blackmail, sitting back and watching the founding of the Xixia Kingdom, and the Nong Zhigao Rebellion, just these three things..."

Zhao Huan did not say the following words directly.

Empress Dowager Meng laughed, reached out and patted Zhao Huan's hand and said with a smile: "You, you, good Emperor Renzong, you also arrange it! However, that's what you said, if this official of the Song Dynasty

If everyone is as decisive as you in killing, then there will be no Liao and Jin countries.

But then again, where in the world can an official teach people like this? As the saying goes, if you kill an enemy one thousand, you will lose eight hundred, but as an official, you are killing eight hundred enemies and losing ten thousand to yourself?"

"You are wrong. In fact, spreading the dragon-slaying technique all over the world would not do any harm to the Song Dynasty, but it would be very uncomfortable for some people in the court and scholars, because then

It’s not that easy to coerce the people.”

Zhao Huan said: "These people all have their own little plans, thinking about themselves, their families, and their clans, but few of them are willing to think about the people.

Let’s just talk about the incident where the students cried in the temple this time. On the surface, some people came together to welcome the emperor back, but in fact, some people just wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, pointing the finger at the social studies, and then slowly

The responsibility falls on my nephew."

"Social Studies?"

Empress Dowager Meng frowned and said: "Didn't you say that we should continue the unique learning for the past saints? It is a good thing for officials to open social schools widely, but why...the word "profit" is really harmful."

Zhao Huan hummed, and then continued: "The same goes for the articles published in newspapers. Whether they are those who say that swords should be strictly controlled, or those who say that the martial arts of the Song Dynasty is weak and should completely relax the control of swords,

In fact, these people are all the same, they all want to take the opportunity to cause trouble so that they can point the finger at their nephew."

Empress Dowager Meng laughed and said: "Don't fool the Ai family here. You think the Ai family doesn't know that the newspaper is basically controlled by the Imperial City Department. Without your nod, how could these messy articles be published?"

"

"You have wronged your nephew."

Zhao Huan rubbed his forehead and said: "Those articles were indeed published by my nephew, because my nephew also wanted to use these people's articles to let these people start fighting on their own.

However, whether these people want to strengthen the control of swords or say that the martial arts of the Song Dynasty is weak, they actually have no good intentions."

“Shouldn’t controls be tightened?”

Empress Dowager Meng hesitated and said: "Also, it seems to be a fact that the martial arts of the Song Dynasty was weak..."

"Swords are distributed to the students for practice in school and are not allowed to be taken out of the school. What is there to control about this?"

Zhao Huan said: "As for the lack of martial virtue in the Song Dynasty, it is even more nonsense. The real lack of martial virtue is in the court. It is the military weakness caused by the Song Dynasty's history of emphasizing culture and suppressing military affairs. As for the people, between the two villages

Hundreds of people can be dispatched to fight with weapons at a time, and a large number of people are killed and injured at every turn. Can this be called a lack of martial ethics?"

This is typical of Empress Dowager Meng's lack of knowledge.

For example, the long-standing armed fighting - this kind of thing has existed since the establishment of the Central Plains Hall. Until the millennium, there was an outbreak of armed fighting with more than 6,000 participants, 12 serious injuries, and 37 minor injuries.

If we change to the years when we were preparing to fight against the US emperor and the Soviet revisionists, there were many talented people who knew how to operate firearms, artillery, anti-aircraft guns, and tanks. The two villages were able to dispatch five or six people to fight with each other, and they could even play.

Use tactics such as seizing the commanding heights and laying mines along the way.

Just listen to the jokes on the Internet about Maozi breaking three of the bear's teeth with his bare hands. The reason why no one in China does such a bad thing is because the Chinese people do even more extreme things!

Let's put it this way, as long as those people were given army weapons and equipment and air support, it was more than enough for them to liberate Taiwan. Even when only ground combat was discussed, these people could also liberate the beautiful country...

…

The martial arts among the people of the Song Dynasty was not much worse.

Under the small court system of the Song Dynasty, and under the custom of people not appointing officials without accountability, large-scale and small-scale armed fights have never been lacking, not to mention the successive killings of officials and rebellions.

In addition, the Song Dynasty couldn't help forming societies. Bow societies, armor societies, horse societies and the like could legally exist, and even things like foot armor could be legally owned! It really made the people anxious. As long as these people were equipped, they could follow

The Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty fought against it!

Lack of moral integrity?

The ones with weak martial ethics are the cowardly Emperor Zhao and the lazy ministers in the court. The martial virtues among the people are very abundant!

But for the officials in the court and the Confucian scholars in the scholarly community, whether it was strict control over swords or complete liberalization of control over bows and crossbows, the martial arts among the people of the Song Dynasty would be enriched by three points.

They were all suggestions made to cause trouble. The purpose was to put the shit basin on Zhao Huan's head after the trouble was caused, so as to force Zhao Huan to admit his mistakes and even issue an edict to blame himself——

It’s not that the Sinji Edict cannot be issued, but it depends on how it is issued.

A positive example is Liu Yezhu of the old Liu family. Isn't Liu Yezhu enough torment? After Liu Yezhu, who has struggled all his life, issued a self-indictment when he got old, will the people of the Han Dynasty forgive him?

On the contrary, an example is Zhu Youjian of the old Zhu family. In Zhao Huan's impression, in the past dynasties, it seems that the unlucky Chongzhen in official history issued more sinner edicts, and then he fell into disgrace.

This is because the Sinji Edict means that the emperor admits his mistakes. If you issue it once, it means that you will correct your mistakes after you know them. If you issue them too many times, it will only prove that you are not a wise king, and the people's hearts will slowly lose.

The officials in the Song Dynasty and the scholars in Shilin could not stand up to Zhao Huan. Naturally, they could only use this method to cause trouble for Zhao Huan, gradually weakening Zhao Huan's reputation among the people, and then let everything return to the way it was before.

.

The previous Song Zhenzong, Song Renzong, Song Shenzong, Song Zhezong and even Song Huizong basically fell into similar tactics.

It's a pity that Zhao Huan is a time traveler...

"In addition to trying to make their nephew submissive, their goal is also social studies."
