Bianliang Shiyue Chapter 416: The Emperor's Attitude
Lu Mansion.
It was almost time, and Lu Yao took Tangxi away from Lu Mansion to train at Jiuzhongxian. On the way, Tangxi asked Lu Yao, but Lu Yao never thought that Tangxi would be worried about Wang Da and Wang Yi. Tangxi said that if this happened
If Wang Da and Wang Yi angered the emperor, would they be beheaded? Although Tangxi asked more out of curiosity, Lu Yao could also see that Tangxi also felt that the Huangtian team performed well in this game. If
It would be a pity that the team Huangtian Team would be gone in this way.
Regarding the question raised by Tangxi, Lu Yao was not worried at all. He said that the emperor would at most reprimand Wang Da and Wang Yi, but there would be no real punishment. Tangxi was a little surprised. You know this game
The Huangtian team lost to the Fanlou team. Although the Fanlou team had a higher status than the Caogen team, the team members were still ordinary people after all. The Huangtian team was regarded by the audience as the Royal Cuju Team.
, in modern terms, it is a team with the baggage of idols. Such a team loses the game and is eliminated from the new Cuju competition. This is a thing that greatly affects the image of the royal family, not to mention that Zhao Zhen went to the first game.
Watching the game live, it is unbelievable that the Huangtian team did not enter the finals. When Zhao Zhen comes to the finals in person, he will still be laughed at by the audience.
After all, Tangxi is still an ordinary citizen, and his knowledge only reaches this level. Although he has now become the steward of the Lu Mansion and his abilities in all aspects have improved, he is still a few levels behind high-ranking officials and the emperor.
Lu Yao smiled and said nothing. The reason why he said that Zhao Zhen would not blame Wang Da and Wang Yi was well founded. This Song Renzong, Zhao Zhen, had a good temper that was rare among the Northern Song Dynasty and all emperors.
In ancient times, the word "benevolence" was the highest principle of moral norms considered by Confucianism and the theoretical core of the Confucian ideological system. In the history of our country, there were not many emperors with the word "benevolence" as their temple names. They were rare. There was Emperor Renzong of the Shu Han Dynasty Liu Chan.
, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, Xixia Renzong Li Renxiao, Western Liao Renzong Yelu Yilie, Yuan Renzong Aiyu Libalibada, Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi, Qing Renzong Aixinjueluo Yongyan (Emperor Jiaqing), among them, Song Renzong
Zhao Zhen took the meaning of the word "benevolence" to the extreme.
The generous and benevolent Song Renzong created a good political environment for the Song Dynasty at that time, and many upright officials such as Bao Zheng were reused. Renzong's favorite concubine Zhang Guifei's uncle Zhang Yaozuo was serving as the third envoy at the time, but because of his mediocrity and incompetence, he was not qualified for the job.
, was impeached by Bao Zheng and all the remonstrators, demanding his removal.
Seeing Renzong's expression of embarrassment, the selfless Bao Zheng knew that Zhang Guifei had given Renzong a "pillow blow", so he spoke out and impassioned. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He grabbed Renzong's sleeves, kept chattering, and even sprayed Renzong's saliva.
On his face, there was an aura of not giving up until the emperor was convinced. If it were another emperor with a more grumpy temper, I'm afraid even if you have 10 heads, Renzong would not be able to chop him off. Not only did Renzong not show any displeasure, he just turned his head from time to time.
Wiping the saliva from his face, he still adopted Bao Zheng's advice in the end, which shows his high moral cultivation.
Once, Song Renzong was walking in the palace. Every time he took a few steps, he would look back and look around without saying anything. The maids and eunuchs were all wondering: What on earth was the emperor looking at?
After Renzong returned to the palace, he anxiously said to the concubine: "Pour some water quickly, I am very thirsty!" The concubine asked puzzledly: "When Your Majesty was outside just now, why didn't you let the entourage pour you some water?
, and have to endure thirst all the way?" Renzong said: "I turned around several times when I was walking, but I didn't see any of them holding a drinking water bottle. I'm afraid I forgot in a hurry. If I asked for water from them, I would
If they can't take it out, someone will definitely be punished for it. Isn't it just a sip of water? I will endure it and it will be the same. It will be the same when I come back and drink again." There are probably not many emperors in ancient and modern times who are so considerate to their servants.
Another time, when Renzong was eating, he suddenly bit a piece of sand and coughed up blood from his teeth. He quickly spit out the sand and rinsed his mouth clean. Then he told the eunuchs and maids around him: "This
Don't tell anyone about it, otherwise the chef who cooked the food will die. This is a capital crime!" This careless chef was really lucky to meet such a kind emperor. Song Renzong would rather restrain himself and use
He endured discomfort and discomfort rather than being held responsible for the faults of others, which shows that he is indeed very kind.
Song Renzong was a thrifty man by nature, and he would save as much as he could on food and clothing. One morning at court, the ministers noticed that Renzong didn't look well, so they asked him if he was sick.
Renzong said: "I'm not sick. I felt a little hungry after reviewing the memorial last night. I wanted to eat mutton, but there was no ready-made mutton, so I endured it all night." The ministers said: "Just ask the imperial kitchen to kill a sheep.
!" Renzong said: "Forget it! There is no need to raise an army and mobilize a crowd in the middle of the night just because I want to eat a bite of mutton. Besides, our ancestors have no precedent of offering roasted sheep at night. If this is started, I don't know how many people will be killed at night.
It's just a sheep!" Renzong would rather starve himself than bother others, and he didn't want this bad habit to lead to extravagance and waste.
"Sui coins" have always been considered by later generations to be the humiliation of the Song Dynasty's compromise with the Liao Kingdom. Why did Song Renzong rather bear the humiliation than go to war with the Liao Kingdom? During Song Renzong's reign, he experienced wars between the Song Dynasty and Xixia.
The war wasted people and money, destroyed lives, displaced people, and was in dire straits. Therefore, he was deeply touched by the cruelty of war.
In Renzong's eyes, war is for salvation, not for bringing disaster and turning the people into cannon fodder. Therefore, he has always advocated peaceful development. He would rather send money and goods to the Liao State every year and be blackmailed by the Liao State voluntarily than to have two countries.
Fight.
Therefore, Song Renzong achieved decades of peaceful coexistence with the Liao Dynasty. The frontier fortresses could no longer see the smoke and hear the sound of war drums, allowing the people of the Song Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment. There was no war at the border, and national politics and economy
, politics, science and technology have all been well developed, especially in culture, many literati and well-known historical celebrities have emerged. Among them, 6 of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties" were in the Song Dynasty, and 6 of them were in the Song Dynasty.
During the reign of Song Renzong.
Speaking of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, we have to mention the matter of Su Che's palace examination. Although he was a little confused in time after traveling through time, based on his contact with Su Che during this period and his current character analysis, Lu
Yao felt that this incident would probably happen during the upcoming palace examination.
Su Che took the Jinshi examination and wrote in the test paper: "I heard someone say on the road that the emperor has thousands of beauties in the palace, drinking and having fun all day long. He neither cares about the suffering of the people nor discusses the governance of the country with the ministers.
It’s a matter of state.” In fact, this was an arrogant statement he made from hearsay.
The examiners thought that Su Che was maliciously slandering and treasonous, and demanded that he be punished. However, Renzong said: "I established the imperial examination to select people who can speak out. As a small official, Su Che dared to speak out like this, so he should be given special honors."
." If it were another emperor, Su Che would have been so rebellious that he might have wiped out the nine tribes. However, Song Renzong, who was good at accepting advice and cherishing talents, not only did not punish him, but also gave him a title. Later, Su Che became the prime minister and became the prime minister.
He became one of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties".
There was also a scholar from Sichuan who didn't know how to be generous and wrote a poem dedicated to the Chengdu governor, advocating that "burning the Broken Sword Gate will make Chengdu a different place." The Chengdu governor was frightened and thought that this was blatantly inciting rebellion, so he
He was tied up and sent to the capital to be punished.
After Zhao Zhen learned about the situation, he said: "This is because the old scholar was eager to become an official but could not do so, so he wrote a poem to complain and vent his anger. How can he be punished? Why not give him an official position? Maybe it can be done.
Let him use his talent." So he was appointed to join the army as a household secretary. From this, it can be seen that Renzong was very virtuous, very clear-minded, good at analyzing situations, and giving people opportunities to change.
After the obituary of the death of Zhao Zhen, Renzong of the Song Dynasty, was sent to the Liao Kingdom, "all the people in the Yan Kingdom cried, both far and near." Yelu Hongji, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom at the time, was also very sad and rushed to grab the hand of the envoy from the Song Dynasty.
Weeping bitterly, he said: "I have not seen war for forty-two years." He also said: "I want to build a tomb for him to express my grief." After that, the emperors of the Liao Dynasty "regarded him as their ancestors".
The death of an emperor not only made the country's dignitaries, down to the common people, even beggars and children burst into tears, it also caused the people and the emperor of the enemy country to burst into tears. It was really rare and showed everyone's recognition of Renzong.
All in all, Zhao Zhen is worthy of the word "benevolence". He rarely gets angry when dealing with military affairs and diplomacy, let alone blaming Wang Da and Wang Yi for this innocuous new Cuju competition.
Although punishment is unavoidable, according to Zhao Zhen's understanding of the Lu Yao team, his final approach should be to maintain the Royal Cuju team. Only by continuing to do it, can there be a chance to win the Royal Cuju team in the next new Cuju competition.
Earn face back.
Lu Yao's thinking was absolutely correct.
When Wang Da and Wang came to the palace, they both lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Zhao Zhen.
However, Zhao Zhen's expression at this time did not look like he wanted to blame the two of them. He asked the two of them to step forward. The first question he asked was not about the performance of the Huangtian team, but said: "I didn't expect that Fan Lou
The team was actually able to defeat you, please tell me what was exciting about this game, and what do you think the Fanlou team’s final chances of winning will be.”
Wang Da and Wang Yi glanced at each other. Neither of them expected that the emperor did not ask about the Huangtian Team, but instead inquired about the Fanlou Team.
For a moment, Wang Da and Wang Yi didn't know how to answer. Zhao Zhen looked at the two people and said with a smile: "What's wrong, you two won't be beaten stupid by the Fan Lou team, right?"
You don’t even know what happened on the field?”
Wang Da was still stunned. After all, Wang Yi reacted quickly enough. He immediately told Zhao Zhen what happened on the court. Zhao Zhen was actually quite interested in this new Cuju competition. At the beginning,
At that time, it might just be because Lu Yao listed to him many benefits of holding this competition, such as improving the physical fitness of the people, enhancing the national strength of the Song Dynasty, etc. However, later on, as the attention of this new Cuju competition continued to increase, coupled with the first
The football betting for each game brought profits, which made Zhao Zhen feel that it was still necessary to continue holding this game. Of course, the biggest impact was the first official game, which was the game between the Grassroots team and the Huangtian team.
Although before the official game started, Zhao Zhen also watched two warm-up matches at the palace training ground. The intensity of those two games was actually no less intense than the first game between the grassroots team and the Huangtian team, and the number of goals scored was also higher.
Higher than that game. However, there were only a dozen or so people watching the game on the sidelines. There was no commentary and no live atmosphere. Zhao Zhen was only interested in the new Cuju project. And when the first official game
When the game started, Zhao Zhen completely fell in love with the new Cuju sport, not because of the football lottery or because it could strengthen his body, but because of the charm that the sport itself brought to Zhao Zhen. Although he was the emperor, he
It was found that there was no difference between him and the audience of the two teams present. He would also change his mood according to the situation on the field. When he saw the Huangtian team finally win the penalty shootout in the first game, Zhao Zhen's mood
It can be said to be an incomparable pleasure. In fact, from that time on, he has become an out-and-out fan.
As a fan, Zhao Zhen naturally understands that there is no guarantee of success in this kind of game. Although the strength of the team is different, no matter which team it is, there is no 100% certainty of victory. It is precisely because of this
It is a psychological construction, so when Zhao Zhen just learned that the Huangtian team lost to the grassroots team in the second round, he was not surprised, it was just a little bit frustrated for a short time. After all, the Huangtian team is
They went out to compete under the banner of the royal family, so if they lost, it was inevitable that the audience would gossip. However, Zhao Zhen didn't care much about it. In fact, most of the audience did not expect that the Huangtian team would be eliminated.
It seems that it should not be a problem for the Huangtian team to enter the finals. But now they are eliminated in the second round, which also shows from another perspective that this game is very fair and just, even the Huangtian team is no exception. The last thing to watch is
It's just the result of the game, it doesn't matter who your leader is.
Zhao Zhen listened with great interest to Wang Da and Wang Yi's description of the game process, then looked at the two of them and made his own judgment and analysis.
"In other words, the two teams were evenly matched in the first half. The main difference was in the second half. When Pan Wen and Li Hao made adjustments on the court, you were limited to the opponent's defensive ability after the opponent scored, and there was no way to break through the opponent.
line of defense, thus resulting in the final defeat."
Wang Da and Wang Yi looked at each other. They didn't expect that Zhao Zhen actually analyzed the game, and there was nothing wrong with what he said. Originally, Wang Da thought that the emperor would be held accountable next, but
Then I heard Zhao Zhen say: "It seems that your inability to perform on the spot cannot be blamed. The main problem is actually the coaches. Whether it is a grassroots team or our Huangtian team, the losing teams basically have no coaches.
team of members.”
Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "My Majesty said it, it is true. The grassroots team and the Goshawk team in the lower half do not have coaches, let alone the Wangcai team, and we can defeat them in the first game
In the grassroots team, my role is actually the same as that of Chen Chen, but the other members of the Huangtian team are stronger than the grassroots team, so we can win in the end."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Well, this is the first time this kind of competition is held, and the shortcomings immediately appeared. It seems that if there is a new Cuju competition in the future, each team must have a fixed coach, leader and
Captain, and there cannot be a situation where the coach and the players serve concurrently."
"Well, if every team can have a coach, the tactics will be more varied, and people watching from the sidelines can adapt to the situation and quickly make corresponding adjustments to the team." Wang Da said, and Zhao Zhen could see that Wang Da
Tatsuya felt that part of the reason for losing this game was that they were unable to deal with the tactics introduced by Pan Wen's Fanlou team. If his Huangtian team had a coach on the sidelines who could see clearly, the result might not have been the same.
In this way, after all, when it comes to the personal strength of the players of Huangtian Team and Fanlou Team, Wang Da and Wang Yi feel that Huangtian Team is already above Fanlou Team.
Zhao Zhen sighed, waved his hands, and said: "That's all, if you lose, you lose. Since there is no such rule in this competition, we should admit that Fan Lou team won."
Wang Da and Wang Yi were silent. After a while, Wang Yi said: "Your Majesty, the two of us did not lead this team well. Please punish us."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "The punishment will be waived. However, if I hold the next competition in the future, you must lead the Huangtian team to the final victory. Do you understand?"
The result given by Zhao Zhen made Wang Da and Wang Yi overjoyed. They did not expect that Zhao Zhen had no intention of holding them accountable. Just as they were about to thank them, Zhao Zhen then said: "However, when you return to the team, choose
For the three or five people who did not perform well in these two games, I will personally give them some money and let them go home. In the next game, the participating teams and level will be improved. Before the start of the next game,
In addition to training, we also need to select some strong civilians as team members, civilians are the best."
Wang Da and Wang Yi nodded one after another. Zhao Zhen's approach was quite appropriate. Even the players who were eventually expelled from the Huangtian Team would receive a large sum of money and would not have any complaints in their hearts.
Wang Da looked at Zhao Zhen and then said: "Your Majesty, the Huangtian team lost this game. Wang Yi and I have embarrassed you. In the final, will you still go to the sidelines to watch the game?"
There is a reason why Wang Da asked this. According to common sense, when Zhao Zhen went to the Bird's Nest Stadium to watch the game in the first game, he once said that during the finals, he would also go to the scene to watch the first game in person.
The finals of the Cuju competition. When Zhao Zhen said those words, he actually had some calculations in his mind. He had a certain understanding of the strength of the teams in the first half. In addition, after watching the two warm-up games, Zhao Zhen felt that
, with the strength of the Huangtian team, it is definitely a sure thing to stand out from the top half and enter the finals, so Zhao Zhen was somewhat boasting about Haikou at that time, but he was the emperor, and he always kept his word, and what he said must be true.
To be able to do this, the emperor cannot break his promise.
But what Zhao Zhen didn't expect was that the Huangtian team would actually lose to the Fanlou team led by Pan Wen in the second round and fall before the threshold of the final. In this way, the final would be the Fanlou team versus the next one.
In the game, the winner between the Lions and the Wenyuan team, no matter who the two sides are, it is certain that the Huangtian team did not enter the finals. And Zhao Zhen's attendance at the finals may have become a joke, after all, he
His team didn't even make it to the finals, so what's the point of him being there?
That's why Wang Da asked this question. He also wanted to test Zhao Zhen's attitude by saying this. If Zhao Zhen would be angry with him and Wang Yi because of this matter, there would be no problem. He would say it all at once.
, which is better than waiting for Zhao Zhen to react and find the two of them to settle the scores.
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "I must go. Although I can't see the Huangtian team playing on the court, I still want to see what the Fanlou team that defeated the Huangtian team will do in the finals.
A performance. Besides, I already said I would go and watch it, how can I break my promise?"
As soon as Zhao Zhen said these words, Wang Da and Wang Yixuan finally relaxed. From this point of view, Zhao Zhen did not blame them for the failure of this game and asked them to go back and readjust the lineup and expel them.
It was also a matter of course for several team members. Now that the matter had been settled, Wang Da and Wang Yi thought of leaving in a hurry while Zhao Zhen did not change his mind.
The two of them couldn't wait to return to their residence to share the good news with the rest of the Huangtian Team. As for the candidates for the expelled players, they had already come to a conclusion on the way back, letting them decide for themselves who would leave and who would stay.
If you want to take money and leave, or if you are not very interested in this new Cuju, they will never force you to stay.
At this time, the spirit is in the wine.
Tangxi drove a carriage and took Lu Yao to Jiuzhongxian. As soon as Lu Yao arrived at the training ground in the backyard, he saw Jintai and Fangzhuang having a competition. These days, as long as Lu Yao is the last to arrive, he is always there.
He always saw such competition scenes, and the results of each competition were the same. There was no doubt that Jintai would defeat Fangzhuang. However, as the number of competitions increased, Lu Yao also discovered that Fangzhuang had never been able to win.
At the beginning, he was always at a disadvantage, but now he is able to compete with Jin Tai. It can be said that the two are neck and neck.
Look at the Great Xianggong of the Northern Song Dynasty.8.2...m.: This chapter has been completed!
