On October 21, 976, history opened a new page. 38-year-old Zhao Guangyi was heartbroken in front of his brother's coffin and cried bitterly. He asked Prime Minister Xue Juzheng and other important officials of the country to repeatedly request it before he reluctantly agreed to become the second emperor of Song Taizong. It was as perfect as when his brother Zhao Kuangyin entered the palace when he entered the palace, someone took out the abdication edict written by the young emperor Chai Zongxun. He could not find anything wrong.

On the 27th, Zhao Tingmei (first Kuang Mei and then Guangmei, the last Tingmei. She was evaded by two brothers) was promoted to Kaifeng Yin, the Secretariat Ling, and the King of Qi. Zhao Dezhao was appointed Prince of Wugong, and his official position was changed to the governor of Yongxing Army and the Chief of the Secretariat. Zhao Defang was promoted to the governor of Shannan West Road, and was in the same position as Pingzhang. Zhao Kuangyin's empress Song was renamed Empress Kaibao. The important officials in the court also had their titles. On November 2, Zhui Two of his wives, Yin, and Fu, were appointed as the queen. On the 5th, Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Dezhao were announced to be the prime minister. Two kings who lost their country, Liu Yu, were appointed as Duke of Wei, and Li Yu, were appointed as Duke of Longxi County. From then on, the sons of the late emperor Zhao Kuangyin and the current king of Qi Zhao Tingmei enjoyed the same level as the sons of the current emperor Zhao Guangyi, and were called princes. The daughters of the three brothers were called princes. They were called princes. They showed that they had a life-and-death unit and had no different hearts.

After completing this series of Annei rewards, Zhao Guangyi suddenly changed his brother's Kaibao year name on December 22. The first year of Taiping Xingguo was only 8 days. Is this a big deal? Maybe nothing counts. Changing the year name will not make more or less in the jobs of billions of people in the world. But please note that our China emphasizes loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. "The king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son and the son" has the same human ethics as the foundation of the unchanging generation of human ethics. In Chinese history, except for the change of dynasties, no emperor who was in charge of normal office dared to change the year name of the previous generation of kings that year. What's more, Zhao Guangyi's succession with axe sound and candle shadows was not justified, but he did it and the court situation was still stable. No one opposed it from historical records. Is it really not? I really can't believe the historical materials about Zhao Dajiu!

After doing all this, Zhao Guangyi ordered the army expeditioning to the Northern Han Dynasty to return to his country. I have to admire or envy Zhao Guangyi. I admire him for choosing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do the most important thing in his life. I envy him for his luck. When his brother died suddenly, the capital was empty and there were few people holding a knife. In fact, the Expeditionary Force of the Song Dynasty was waiting for an opportunity, an excuse, a person - Zhao Dezhao or Zhao Defang. As long as one of them suddenly appeared in the Expeditionary Force camp and showed even the forged evidence of the murder of Zhao Kuangyin, these people would raise an army for him, kill him back to Kaifeng, and regain the throne. But what is depressing is that Kaifeng and even the entire Song Dynasty were as calm as a stagnant pool. Dezhao, Defang, and even Tingmei were all like the evaporated on earth, and they were surprisingly obedient. What else can we say about this?

Everyone knows that the Song Dynasty was a paradise for literati. So who opened the door to this paradise? Many people will say that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was very good to literati. But Zhao Kuangyin still grinned at literati from time to time - "That's what helps you?"

This gate to heaven was opened by Zhao Guangyi. Just over two months after he took office, he announced in the early lunar month of the second year of Taiping Xingguo (977) that the imperial examinations were opened to win scholars! Literati, your spring has come from now on!

This time, more than 5,300 tribute scholars were issued across the country. No matter what the family composition is, or whether the family is rich or not, as long as the credits are enough, the country will pay you a round trip fee and support you to go to Beijing to write a paper. Then these people began to cheer - they didn't dare to think about it in their dreams, and the admission rate this time was so high!

In this subject, Emperor Taizong of Song won 109 Jinshi, 207th Jinshi, and 184 Jinshi and 184 Jinshi. A total of 500 people! To know how amazing this number is, please look back at Zhao Kuangyin's record of recruiting scholars: During the reign of Song Taizu, he had almost every year to recruit scholars, but he was extremely strict. The most common subject was in 975, with a total of 31 scholars. The least was in 968, with only 6 people. He reigned for more than 16 years, and held 15 academic qualifications, and only 188 scholars were selected.

Zhao Guangyi also ordered the first-class Jinshi to be the first-class Jinshi directly as an official. Those who were second-class Jinshi were sent directly to the Ministry of Personnel, and were exempted from the election and were awarded the best. It was too abusive... Chief Prime Minister Xue Juzheng could not sit still, and he submitted a memorial - Your Majesty, you have taken too many people and hired too quickly.

But Zhao Guangyili ignored it. When the new top scholar Lu Mengzheng and others bowed to him, the emperor said to them, "Be an official when you take office. If you find anything that is inconvenient to the people, you can deal with it as soon as possible. There is no need to report it." Then he smiled again, "My dear ministers, you must have no money when you become an official for the first time, right? That's fine, I'll give each of you 200,000 guan as a package money."

His brother Zhao Kuangyin left him a full pile sealed warehouse, Zuozang, with countless gold, silver and treasures. When he opened it, Zhao Guangyi almost fainted. How could he spend so much money? Just before the examination, he had a large amount of unexpected income. It was said that there were three warehouses in Zuozang, which were managed by different people, and the goods and money and gold were collected separately. This year, Jia Huangzhong, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted to the position of the Ministry of Rites, and was transferred to the prefecture. He had to make a clear delivery before leaving. So he searched for a

I found that a small room was locked tightly. When I opened it, I saw dozens of large boxes, all filled with gold. It was said in history that "it is worth millions, which are the relics of the Li family palace pavilion" was brought by Li Yu - Cao Bin asked him to return to the palace to pack things. It was recorded in history that Li Yu really brought dozens of boxes of gold into Kaifeng... No matter who it belonged, the money was not recorded (not included in the library). Jia Huang reported it, and Zhao Guangyi made a fortune out of thin air. So he was willing to be richer to give his literati who did not play according to common sense and promoted the officials.

In this way, the Jinshi, known as the "Long Fei Ban" in history, began their happy life: the top scholar Lu Mengzheng, the second-level Li Zhi, the Tanhua Wen Zhengshu. The Jinshi Wang Huaji, Zang Bing, Ma Rushi, Wang Mian, Zhang Chong, Chen Shu, Song Mi, Lu Youzhi, and Zhang Qixian...

On February 9, Zhao Guangyi changed his name to Zhao Jiong. The fire below the sun is brilliant and brilliant, as if it is better than Li Congjia's word "Yu".

While Zhao Guangyi sent all his disciples to be officials, he took special care of a place. He sent a man named Gao Baoyin to be the governor of Huaizhou. Huaizhou is the jurisdiction of Zhao Pu, the governor of Heyang Sancheng. As soon as Gao Baoyin took office, he almost didn't even count the trees in the Huaizhou yamen, so he immediately reported that Zhao Pu had committed a foul! He took care of me in everything. I asked to follow the rules set by Taizu to "lead the county of the vassal town". Zhao Pu wanted to find a piece of tofu and hit him to death... Bajie Town,

The income and expenditure county were all good ideas he gave to Zhao Kuangyin back then. Unexpectedly, he would have been a military governor for one day... Stop saying anything, he would die by himself! But Zhao Pu was Zhao Pu after all. In March, he took the initiative to make a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations and could be called seeking death: he was going to Beijing! In the name of giving Zhao Kuangyin a funeral and sending the old leader the last journey. It was too open and honest, and even Zhao Guangyi could not refuse. Well, come! Zhao Guangyi sharpened his knife and waited for Zhao Pu to come to test the knife!

On the 14th, Zhao Pu came. Ah! You finally came. Do you know that I love you very much? I want to see you every day? I don’t have to go back, so stay in Kaifeng! Also, I want to give you a top official position, one of the three orphans - the Prince's Young Guard! I guess you won’t like other official titles anymore, so I will give them all back to me... At that time, someone was laughing secretly - the Prince's Young Guard? What a big official! But do I have a prince in my court now? What are you protecting? But no one knows that Zhao Pu was also happy at this time. He achieved his goal. He wanted to throw away these hot official titles, leave the place, and return to the feet of the Emperor Kaifeng. You must know that in the place, there are countless scoundrels who are scrambling to help Zhao Guangyi cause trouble for him. If this continues, one day Zhao Guangyi will kill him with full reason.

Instead of being bullied by the little ghost, it is better to face the King of Hell directly! Returning to Zhao Guangyi's nose, every move can be seen by everyone in the world! In any case, it is worse than dying outside without understanding!

After successfully taking Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangyi did two more things that were worshipped by literati of all generations, allowing literati to go directly to midsummer from spring!

In the core of our national culture, the book is a major event that can be achieved through the world. In addition to inheriting the basic functions of civilization, it is more of a symbolic meaning. Any such behavior of gathering books with the state and continuing the past and opening up the future means that the era was prosperous and prosperous, and that monarch was a wise and wise man at that time. For example, the "Yongle Encyclopedia" was to Zhu Di and the "Siku Quanshu" was to Qianlong.

On March 17, Zhao Guangyi, who had just been an emperor for 5 months, ordered more than 10 people including Hanlin Bachelor Li Fang and other 92 categories, 500 volumes of novels, "Taiping Guangji" and 55, 4,558 categories, citing 1,689 kinds of books, 4.784 million words, and 1,000 volumes of encyclopedia "Taiping General Category" (Zhao Guangyi loves reading is famous in history. After the completion of the "Taiping General Category", it was read in 3 volumes a day and 1 year. Therefore, it was renamed "Taiping General Category")

Next, Zhao Guangyi did something bigger - Xiu Chong Wenguan.

Looking back on history, no matter how turbulent the country is or how devastated the people, we have never left the books in our hands and the cultural beliefs we have always adhered to! In the chaotic times like the Five Dynasties, there are still "three museums" - Zhaowen Museum, History Museum, and Jixian Academy. They were the places where the official stores of the world's books and gathered talents in the world.

But they were already dilapidated at this time. Emperor Taizong of Song went to the Sanguan to look at it, shook his head and left. He then ordered the selection of a new site for the Sanguan in the northeast of Zuoshenglongmen, and construction will start from now on day to day, regardless of cost, it will be good and fast, and it will be more beautiful and exquisite than the palace! Even the design drawings of the pavilions and towers in the museum were painted by the emperor himself.

On the first month of the third year of Taiping Xingguo (978), the third new museum was completed. On the day of its consecration, the whole country attracted attention! The books that moved to the old museum were divided into two corridors. The east corridor was the Zhaowen Library, the south corridor was the Jixian Library, and the west corridor was the Historical Department's books. It was divided into four 6-storey books, "Classic", "Shi", "Zi" and "Collection". The original books had more than 12,000 volumes, 13,000 volumes of books were obtained on Pingshu, and more than 20,000 volumes of books were obtained on Pingshu, and more than 20,000 volumes of books were obtained on Pingshu. The imperial edict was issued to open the road to offering books, so the three museums had a large volume of volumes, with 80,000 volumes of original and dungeons.

On February 1, Zhao Guangyi, who had just been the emperor for 15 months, named Xinsan Pavilion as "Chongwenyuan" and used this edict to express the world's determination to "promote literature and suppress martial arts"!

In this way, the midsummer for the literati arrived, and the severe winter for the military generals began!

Recalling the establishment of the Great Song military system and suppressing the arrogance of the martial arts, the Taizu of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who implemented the "one country, two systems" to the army on the border, the border guards can use local fiscal tax revenue at will, and can make profits independently, both domestic and foreign, and even foreign transactions, and they are all exempted from taxes. They can also use the money they earned to recruit warriors, bribe spies, and reward soldiers... In short, whatever they want is. This is not counted. Zhao Kuangyin built villas for these border bosses in Kaifeng City, and even the construction officials couldn't stand it. "This is not right! They all exceeded the specifications of royal members." Zhao Kuangyin cursed, "Shut up if you don't understand! The soldiers at the border are much more important than the royal family! They are quickly built, and there is no retaliation."

So what happened to Zhao Guangyi’s era? As soon as the imperial guards who were expeditioning to the Northern Han Dynasty returned, Zhao Guangyi immediately issued a deadly order to all the governors of the country - to report all the list of your family! Then, according to the list, they asked for people to arrive in Beijing within a deadline! Add more than 100 high-ranking officials to the Palace Front Office to do some low-ranking positions such as the order, and then keep them in captivity!

What are you doing? Hostages! Yes! Zhao Guangyi has regarded his subordinates as feudal vassal states and asked them to send their sons to Beijing as a hostage. In the future, everything will be fine if he obeys the orders and commands. Otherwise, your sons will be in the ground.

It is unbearable! The bloody murderous aura of professional soldiers, which had already begun to be indifferent, was awakened again by an unprecedented sense of crisis, and everyone unconsciously held the hilt of the knife. But at this moment, a "civilization" act appeared in the capital, which was admired by the literati and officials at that time and praised by all the literati in later generations.

Cao Bin, the country's first military officer, walked on any street, as long as he met the scholars and officials, he would "take the car to avoid it" and the leaders of the generals bowed their heads, and it was said that they were willing to... What kind of cold water was like? The warriors across the Song Dynasty were depressed and discouraged. From this time on, the status of the Privy Council, which was in charge of national military affairs, from the leader of the Five Dynasties to the court in the early Song Dynasty to the confrontation with the Secretariat in the early Song Dynasty, had to retreat to the second seat.

Some people tolerated it, but some people stood up. Cao Han stood in front of Zhao Guangyi and sneered and said, "What's so great about writing poetry? In my opinion, those sour people wrote far from enough! Please listen to me to write a poem - I once wore a golden armor because of the national crisis, and I was ashamed to be selling my sword for my family. In the future, Yanshan Mountains will sharpen the cliffs first, so I will definitely be the first to hold the famous Cao." A good poem! Zhao Guangyi applauded. It is true that the famous general Cao Han has both civil and military experience, and he can become a good sentence if he combines his will and energy. But the emperor just applauded, completely ignoring the anger in the poem, and turned around and praised the literati again.
Chapter completed!
