Why Are Northern Song Civil Officials So Awful?

The civil service group is a kind of thinking, not an identity. If you are a civil servant, you are a civil service group. Doesn't it mean that military commanders and nobles do not have the thinking of a civilian group? Blindly binding the civil service group to the civil service collective is a bit blind Can't the civilian service group brain-control military generals? Can't you brain control Xungui? Can't you brain control eunuchs?

When a novel becomes popular, there will be a lot of imitators who will appear like dog urine. I haven't read a novel that follows the trend for such a long time. Doesn't it mean that I don't have the ability to create independently?

This line of thought seems similar to something I've read before. (Corpse Calamity 1644)

Who constitutes the emperor's core support base? A. The army, B. The common people, C. Merchants, D. Bureaucrats

Many people like to use "historical limitations" as a fig leaf to cover up their sense of superiority, as if standing on the timeline automatically makes them superior to the ancients. But peel back the outer shell of the system, and it's all the same old drama: farmland consolidation becomes capital consolidation, aristocratic clans become resource circles, and feudal lords become monopolistic…

While the conspiracy theory about civil servants is absurd, its popularity stems from a viewpoint held by many: that responsibility and power are commensurate. If you reap so much power and benefit but fail to take responsibility, then your entire class will bear the brunt of the blame. 😅

It's missing something now. Less ruthlessness. Actually, this book is quite well-written. The entertainment aspect is also good. But I'm really getting a bit tired of it now. It's the protagonist's state of being on the verge of exploding that's quite frustrating. Furthermore, the protagonist felt even more aggrieved when Emperor Renzong of Song had a son.

The United States has a military-industrial complex, a medical complex, and a financial complex. It's exactly the same as the landlord complex, salt merchant complex, and maritime trade/smuggling complex of the Song and Ming dynasties. Money is something that someone is willing to pay to kill the emperor—it's simple; there's always someone who needs money.

When will you write "The True History of the Tang Dynasty"? An Lushan was forced into rebellion by civil officials. He raised an army after receiving an imperial edict from Emperor Xuanzong (Li Longji), and his ascension to the throne was also forced upon him by these officials. 😏

Many people nowadays are thinking of the emperor's best interests, saying that various civil service groups have conspired against him, but the emperor himself is the biggest villain. Okay, you are a civil official, do you listen to the emperor or not? If you listen to the emperor, then fine, if the emperor orders you to build Tumu Fortress, will you go?
