There are many famous people in history, and many people can turn the tide. Like Li Si of the Qin Dynasty, Xiao He of the Western Han Dynasty, Kong Ming of the Shu Han Dynasty, Fang Xuanling and Song Jing of the Tang Dynasty, and even Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and so on.
These people are also like thunder, and in their respective times they can be said to be heroes and powerful people. This is the second, the key is that their abilities are also very prominent, loyal and loyal to assist the emperor to fight the country, govern the country, has played a very critical role in the development of the country.
However, when it comes to the Northern Song Dynasty, there are also many famous names. There is Zhao Pu, who ruled the world in half of the Analects, Lü Duan, who was not confused about major matters, Li Xun, who had the reputation of "holy phase", fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi, who were committed to reform, and so on.
But it seems that influence or contribution does not seem to be comparable to those who have become famous almost by one person.
In fact, the reason why such a situation has occurred is not complicated.
First, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty did not give the prime minister a chance at all.
The Northern Song Dynasty was a very special dynasty in history, which played heavy literature and light martial arts to the extreme. I would rather be beaten by foreign enemies and pay compensation for the loss of land than develop my own military, but at the same time, the economy is very developed, and I am afraid that many people will not be puzzled.
The key to the Northern Song Dynasty lies in the emperor. When it comes to the prime minister, don't look at the Northern Song Dynasty also has a prime minister, but it is not a concept at all with the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and other dynasties, and the power of the prime minister has been greatly constrained and limited.
Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the prime minister was not a role above ten thousand people under one person. Then, since there is not much power in hand, it is naturally impossible to make any changes to the overall policy of the country, that is to say, it is difficult to achieve a great cause.
If the prime minister wants to develop, it must depend on whether the emperor appreciates him, and it is not difficult for us to find that the reason why many dynasties can make a difference is that the emperor is not a faint person, and he also has the heart to change the situation. The emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were mostly mediocre and lacked wise monarchs with great talent, so naturally they were not needed.
Second, I have to talk about these so-called appearances. Their fame is there, but their ability is not easy to say. One of the great virtues of the "famous courtiers" of the Song Dynasty was that they were upright in integrity and dared to speak out and give advice in an endless stream. This was also the norm for the Literati of the Northern Song Dynasty, who valued integrity rather than ability.
Therefore, it is objectively said that many of the famous phases of the Northern Song Dynasty are indiscriminate and full of people, which is not worth mentioning at all.
Third, although the Northern Song Dynasty did not have the soil for the development of the prime minister, many people of insight still made a difference. It is not possible to overthrow a boat of people with one pole, completely negative.
For example, Li Xun and Han Qi, who played a huge role in promoting the development of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although it could not help the Northern Song Dynasty build a powerful army to become famous in the world, it was still very capable in internal affairs.
Therefore, many things must be divided into two, and we must look at the problem objectively.
