In fact, it is rich in the correct understanding: bumper harvest, bumper harvest, bumper harvest; H: the visit was smooth; Yu, suitable for it; Big and prosperous, the four words together mean that the people have gained more, become rich and the world is happy and prosperous. But in Cai Jing's mouth, he interpreted these four words into another meaning and told Song Huizong, which led to his demise.
Due to various reasons at that time, the treasury had no money in the Northern Song Dynasty, but when he proclaimed himself emperor in Song Shenzong, the treasury was already in deficit, so Song Shenzong thought of reform to save expenses, and on the one hand, he grasped the recovery of productivity to improve the productivity of ordinary people, thus fundamentally solving the problem. Moreover, this reform has had an effect, and there is more money in the national treasury than before.
Later, Song Huizong succeeded to the throne. It can be said that Song Shenzong's reform accumulated a great deal of strength for Song Huizong, not only for him, but also made the situation of state affairs at that time relatively stable, which was a good shade for Song Huizong. If Song Huizong continues to maintain this situation well, he may be able to become emperor firmly, but he must reuse treacherous people, including Cai Jing.
Song Huizong began to conclude that he should not squander the wealth he inherited, but should inherit the diligent style of the first two good brothers. After all, I can't go too far, so I didn't go too far at first. Cai Jing, who is treacherous and greedy, has a bad mind. He saw that Song Huizong didn't want to spend money, which was tantamount to breaking his financial path. So he rummaged through ancient Cai Jing and ancient books, and found out the words "abundance, constancy, abundance and greatness" in the above article, and explained to Song Huizong that only when the people are rich and the countries are rich will they have the appearance of people's wealth, and they will never be like big countries at all. Prosperous times will be displayed and seen by others, so some people will praise your advantages.
And his explanation happened to be in Song Huizong's mind, which was a hit. Began a point of no return, the Northern Song Dynasty gradually declined with the extravagance of Song Huizong, and finally went to extinction.
