The Southern Song Dynasty is a dynasty in China's history as peaceful and jiangnan as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and more nested, all with the blood and sweat of the common people to buy peace, Xiongbao Emperor one after another, but the second emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Xiaozong Zhao Xuan, was a male lord, he reigned for 27 years, used three era names, and the last two era periods created the famous Rule of Qianchun. Under his rule, he reversed the poverty and destitution of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Gaozong of Song, and created a rare prosperous situation.
Song Gaozong Zhao Was frightened by the Jin people, not only lost his fertility, but also engaged in a lifetime of peace negotiations to send gold, and then simply gave up the emperor's throne to his adopted son Zhao Xuan himself as the Emperor Taishang, Song Xiaozong came to power many times to suggest to Song Gaozong to reorganize the armaments and swing the Northern Expedition, naturally by the timid and fearful Song Gaozong to come back, Gaozong directly asked him what is filial piety? Song Xiaozong understood that now was not the time for him to change his ways, and he could only be a man with his tail between his legs. Emperor Gaozong of Song not only failed to raise his head politically, diplomatically, and militarily in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also had an unusually poor economy, making life extremely difficult for the common people, corrupt officials and corrupt officials all walking sideways, and starving to death innumerable people. After Emperor Gaozong's return to heaven, Emperor Xiaozong of Song began drastic reforms.
Song Xiaozong rehabilitated Yue Fei, a hero who had been unjustly killed for twenty years, and vigorously attacked the Qin Junipers, taking a clear-cut stand to fight against Jin in the Northern Expedition. Many people regard the Longxing Northern Expedition, which lasted only twenty days, as the biggest failure of Song Xiaozong, but the responsibility for the failure could not be blamed on Xiaozong. Frozen three feet, not a day's cold. Song Xiaozong devoted all his energy to comprehensive reforms. In terms of the intensity of his struggle to eliminate corruption, he was no worse than Zhu Yuanzhang in the back. He openly stated that he would drag corrupt officials and corrupt officials to the streets and put them to death. To crack down on corruption, it is necessary to lock up power in the cage of the system, presumably to strengthen the performance appraisal of officials at all levels, and to dismiss more than 1,000 redundant officials who have not done anything for two consecutive years. In order to contain the prime minister, the taiwan officials were used to monitor their words and deeds. He has done his own thing, worked diligently and loved the people, lest his decision-making be improper, which can be said to be exhaustive. He is unusually frugal in his personal life, comparable to Dayu.
Although the violent means of punishing corrupt officials are not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang's peeling grass, the staff ridge, the thorn face, and the distribution are all used. After the vigorous rectification of Song Xiaozong, the official atmosphere of the Southern Song Dynasty was refreshing, and lower-level officials were ashamed of giving gifts to senior officials, and local officials were ashamed of giving gifts to central officials. He also made great use of the officials of the main war faction headed by Zhang Jun, thrifty expenditure, active preparation for war, promulgated the system of volunteer soldiers, and selected generals through martial arts, and their military strength was significantly enhanced. The large circulation of paper money was also a great spectacle of the Xiaozong Dynasty. In terms of culture, a hundred flowers bloomed, and lu you, Xin Shuyi, Yang Wanli and other literati all lived in the era of Filial Piety. Although Song Xiaozong did not recover the lost land, it can be said that he single-handedly laid the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty and continued the life of the Southern Song Dynasty for a hundred years.
