Gao Qiu is his friend and confidant. Nothing to an official, right? Now a corrupt official can find a prostitute to help him, let alone become an emperor. But Song Huizong didn't. He said this: "I want to compliment you, but I can't get promoted unless I have a sideline." I'll teach the Privy Council to appoint you first. Just be a person who moves with the car. " This sentence has two meanings. First, you can't be a civil servant. You can't be a civil servant without taking the imperial examination. Second, you have to make meritorious service in the army to climb up, otherwise, although I am the emperor, I can't help you. As a result, Gao Qiu spent half a year walking around the border. Whether he has made meritorious service or not, at least on the surface, he has made some contributions. This was promoted and became the commander-in-chief of the temple. It can be seen that Song Huizong's awareness of rules is not generally strong.
Miss Li Shishi is his stereotype, and I haven't seen him find an identity within the system for Miss Li, such as Mrs. So-and-so, which is very common in the Song Dynasty. It's actually very easy for him. But in Song Huizong's eyes, Miss is Miss, and she must abide by the laws of market economy. It's boring if it's messy. Otherwise, it is difficult to understand that there are so many beautiful women in the palace. He goes to Li Shishi from time to time. He has absolute ownership of the women in the palace and can possess, use, benefit and dispose of them at will; For Li Shishi, he just used and voluntarily gave up other rights to participate in the transaction as an equal market subject.
The whole empire belongs to him, and it is rare to give up some power instead of monopoly! This fully shows that he strictly abides by the laws of market economy. He only approached Miss Li with his visible hand, not with his invisible hand.
On one occasion, Dai Zhong and Yan Qing went to Qiu Fu to find someone to stay, just as Qiu Qiu was not at home. Upon inquiry, they learned that Qiu Qiu "is a beloved official present today. He never leaves his son in the morning and evening, so it is difficult to specify". You see, he is not the master of eating, drinking and having fun every day as depicted in the official history. He still pays great attention to the long-term stability of the country and is willing to get close to the good ministers. For example, when he was wooing Sung River, pacifying Liao and destroying Fang La, he listened to Zhong Liang. If he is not interested in the national cause, Su Taiwei can't send it if he wants to. With Qiu Su Like, the pillar of the country, he can basically sit back and relax.
Gao Qiu is in charge of his fitness activities, which is necessary. When the emperor is unhealthy, where does the happiness of the people come from? Without Gao Qiu, how can the emperor's health be guaranteed? It is also important that Yang Jian is in charge of the emperor's nightlife. He is busy with work and fitness. It's almost evening after work, so why not enjoy the nightlife? Without Yang Jian, who kept his mouth shut, tabloid news wouldn't be flying everywhere. The division of labor between Tong Guan and Cai Jing is not clear in the book, but it is definitely very important. Cai Jing, his teacher, writes well. He is close to teachers, respects teachers and values teaching, and likes to learn calligraphy. Moreover, it seems that Cai Jing, like Tong Guan, has the characteristics of reporting good news but not bad news, and is also willing to listen to some good words.
It is an unbreakable principle that both loyal and traitor have different service items, but they must all serve him. Zhongliang is responsible for the overall operation of the country without deviating from the track, and the yes-man is responsible for the personal life of the emperor. Zhong Liang and the yes-man will certainly fight constantly, but such differences are mixed, and it is in his interest to control them. Ordinary people only know the division between loyal and treacherous courtiers and the result of their struggle, but few people notice that if he doesn't need treacherous courtiers, where will there be room for survival? If he doesn't want them to fight, where can they fight? This is the ability and skill.
The Water Margin version of Song Huizong seems to be a good player in economic construction.
This book describes how Wang Jinjin spent the night at Shi Jian's house. The historian served "four vegetables, a plate of beef" and wine. Lu went to Liu Taigong's house for the night, and Liu Taigong brought out "a plate of beef, three or four kinds of vegetables" and wine. Strange, right? The host doesn't worry about whether the guest has money, and the guest doesn't say how much money he has. I'm afraid this harmonious phenomenon has nothing to do with the level of ideological realm. There are probably two reasons. First, the host family's economic situation is good, and it doesn't matter if the guests eat or drink. Second, at that time, the economic situation of the whole society was good, and people who went out could afford to eat and drink.
He understands that it is necessary to promote economic work and let the people have food, clothing and housing before they can play poetry, calligraphy and painting. What else do people want him to do? You know, the emperor is not a necessity for ordinary people. The people recognized his existence only because he said it could make people's lives better. Only when the people have more money can they give the emperor extra money, although this "extra" is not necessarily superfluous. Anyway, after reading the whole book, I generally feel that he is not an amateur in economics. At that time, the government did not interfere too much in the operation of social economy, and the author did not criticize the people's living standards too much. On the contrary, I often see the author inadvertently showing his appreciation for the emperor's economic ability.
From its point of view, the historical version of Song Huizong and the Water Margin version of Song Huizong are completely different. The former is ignorant, fishes for the people, feasts, lives a dream, and perishes in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is the shame of Jingkang. The latter is different. He was almost a successful emperor. Although he doesn't have much talent, he also knows how to do the people's duty well, enrich the people abroad, observe discipline, revitalize the culture of economic prosperity, give people freedom, peace and happiness, and let the country continue to develop normally. The society in the Northern Song Dynasty in the novel is normal, and the normal society should continue.
