Chapter 141: Queen Li Fengniang of the Southern Song Dynasty (19)
Because Qiao Mu had Zhao Dun's support behind her, all her instructions were implemented truthfully, and even those great scholars could not help but dissuade them.
So, Zhao Kuo spent the most difficult and difficult six months since his birth.
Every morning, when the sky is just dawn, I have to go out to work in a nearby farm. The food and drink cost is similar to that of ordinary farmers, including wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains and rice. This is already the treatment of farmers hired by the imperial village. Ordinary landlords' hired farmers may not be able to live such a life.
He did farm work for a long time in the morning, and in the afternoon he had to travel around the entire Lin'an City with the men sent by Qiao Mu to supervise, to see the various livelihoods in Lin'an City, and to understand the hardships of the people. After reading all Lin'an City, he had to go to the villages around Lin'an City to see them.
This is what you have to do in the afternoon. At night, you have to read the books that Qiao Mu brought him. In fact, it is better to say that they are files, files transferred from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Personnel and other departments. It not only contains the various corruption, bribery and harming people caused by corrupt officials over the years, but also includes the number of people affected by natural disasters over the years and the specific tragic situation during the disaster. In short, it is very miserable.
As for the effect, of course there are.
How to describe it? When he was asked to read those files at the beginning, he either cursed the officials at night with gritted teeth, and sometimes dreamed that he wanted to kill the officials, or had nightmares at night, dreaming that the people described in the files who starved to death and were killed by officials asked him to pay their lives in their dreams.
In short, he had a hard time at the beginning, but after half a month, he became much more mature and no longer as naive as before. Many times, many things were no longer forced to do, but they did them voluntarily, and even tried what it felt like to help people work hard at the dock, etc.
Although Zhao Kuo has not tried all the industries in the past six months, he has tried many industries and many industries he has seen, experiencing various difficulties, and at the same time, some people who can understand what they think of killing officials and rebelling. Because sometimes, for example, he is so tired that he is dying of death with a bunch of things on his back, and can still see many people in the restaurant not far away pushing cups and asking questions, he also has the idea of killing people.
He just suffered for a while and saw others enjoying it, so he already had such thoughts, let alone suffered for a lifetime, and even suffered for three generations of descendants. At the same time, he also saw corrupt officials and fishing the people, making them unable to survive?
In just half a year, Zhao Kuo's whole body changed greatly from inside to outside, from spirit to surface appearance. He became darker and stronger, and became less like the literary style pursued by this era. Instead, he had a little bit of a military general who was dissatisfied with and despised by civil servants. His spirit was not as leisurely and soft as before. Instead, he had more firmness and determination, and his overall emotions and views began to be somewhat biased towards military generals.
This change is naturally a surprise for Qiaomu and Zhao Dun, and is also a happy thing for military generals. However, for the vast civil servants, this is a bad news, and it is a bad news that makes them feel that their future is hopeless and the future of the Song Dynasty is hopeless. In their opinion, it seems that only their civil servants can govern the world and protect the Song Dynasty.
But I never thought about what the Song Dynasty court under their rule would become.
Of course, those civil servants can't make any trouble for the time being. At most, they can just write a memorial to accuse the prince of not doing their jobs, etc. However, the prince's unemployment was discussed and nodded by Qiao Mu and Zhao Dun. What's the use of those civil servants' comments? They just piled them aside and took a good day to light the fire.
Soon, half a year passed, and after half a year of noisy and trouble, Zhao Dun also fought with the officials for more than half a year, and finally the New Year was about to be celebrated.
Unfortunately, although Zhao Kuo has gained a lot in the past six months, Qiaomu and Zhao Dun are also very happy with his changes, but this year has not been better.
Because the Empress Dowager died.
On December 30, the eighth year of Shaoxi, two days before the New Year, Gaozong's wife and Empress Dowager Wu died!
At the age of eighty-three!
Even if she is not her biological grandmother, she is the Empress Dowager, so all the rules that should be followed must be abide by. Therefore, the New Year is naturally not very good. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager died before the New Year, which does not affect the New Year, but only affects the New Year. If it is too late, even the people of this dynasty will not be able to live well, because the death of the Empress Dowager can be considered as the national mourning, and the people must keep the national filial piety for seven days. If they really live until New Year's Eve, they may not be satisfied.
Some things affect everyone's interests, even if everyone is afraid and doesn't say it, who will be happy and satisfied?
Therefore, the time for the death of the Empress Dowager was just right, and he was not very dissatisfied with others.
Two more years later, Empress Dowager Xie died.
Three mountains in the palace collapsed completely, Qiao Mu and Zhao Dun were completely liberated. One officially controlled all areas and personnel in the harem, and the other officially controlled the court. The main war faction began to gain an absolute advantage.
However, time is not waiting for Zhao Dun.
The following year, on October 8, the 11th year of Shaoxi, Zhao Dun was seriously ill. Qiao Mu officially began to rule the country from behind the curtain and secretly sent people to dispatch troops to besiege Lin'an. After planning for ten years, preparing for ten years, and making ten years of preparation, it was finally about to start. This was a big gamble, and it was also a big gamble that would almost never fail. At least it would never fail in the early stage, because an army that was trained completely according to modern standards, and was equipped with advanced firearms from here for more than a thousand years. If it still couldn't defeat Lin'an City, what was going on?
What's more, she, the queen who already controls real power, has almost no chance of failure. Unless she is directly attacked by meteors from the sky like Wang Mang of Xin Dynasty, it is impossible to fail at all.
On the New Year, Qiaomu took advantage of the holidays of the officials and everyone was a little relaxed, and officially led the troops into Lin'an City and replaced the original defense army of Lin'an City to take over the entire Lin'an. Yes, Qiaomu was a little surprised. Qiaomu originally thought it might take some effort and might even have some bloody struggles, but I don't know if she has not made any monsters over the years and her reputation has improved a lot. Even though she issued many different orders on the New Year, and ordered people to send people to attract many people, no one raised any objections. Everything went very smoothly, and even made Qiaomu a little doubt whether her plan was leaked? Did she fall into someone's trap?
