Emperor's Temperament
Zhao Zhen's new life started with the change of the year name. On December 25, he issued an edict to change the year name next year to "Jingyou". Previously, both "Tiansheng" and "Mingdao" had the same sun and moon as the two masters of the world. This is not enough, we must change it! The scenery, the sun is rising, and the light is just beginning to appear, and the world will suddenly become clear!
In the first year of Jingyou (1034), Song Renzong rarely dismissed a Jinshi, but we in later generations should be extremely grateful for his 'wise' decision. The person who was dismissed by him was Liu Yong and Liu Sanbian. At that time, Liu Yong's lyrics had been widely circulated, and even the emperor who could not leave the deep palace had read his lyrics. For example, the last two lines of this lyrics were "tolerate to fame, change to fame and sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in a shallow sing in "Write the lyrics by the order, Liu Sanbian" spent his whole life wandering between the railings, tiles and tiles, Qin Towers and Chu Pavilions. But it was Liu Yong who created the classic slow lyrics in Song Ci and became the master of the graceful school! He even reached the grand occasion of "everyone with a well and a water can sing Liu Ci"! It was Liu Yong's achievements in expanding territory in Song Ci, so although his ethics have always been despised by scholars and officials, as long as he talked about his lyrics, everyone had to frown and say something good for him. Thanks to the great and wise Emperor Renzong! If it weren't for your "wise" decision, I'm afraid that today's Song Ci would not have been as magnificent as Tang poetry and Yuan Ci.
In May, Xiao Nojin and his brother Xiao Xiaoxian conspired to depose his eldest son Yelu Zongzhen and make his second son Yelu Chongyuan the emperor.
Unfortunately, this was Yelu Chongyuan's first "rebellion". This time, he didn't want to spoof with his mother, so he secretly reported the inside story of the rebellion to his elder brother. The unbearable Yelu Zongzhen followed the plan of the eunuch Zhao Anren and launched in advance, first seized Xiao Xiaoxian's military power, and then took Xiao Nojin's empress dowager's seal, and escorted his biological mother to the cemetery of his father Liao Shengzong. Although not long after, Zongzhen took his biological mother back to the capital, there was no sympathy between the mother and son. The words, the rift will never fade away... Yelu Chongyuan has always stood firmly on the side of the emperor in this coup. Zong Zhen was grateful and gave him many honors and strengths, but he did not expect that this would cause his second rebellion in 29 years. It was the largest and most intense internal struggle in Liao history for more than 200 years. Its classic level is even well known to every Chinese as Mr. Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became popular in the Chinese world.
On July 1, Yelu Zongzhen began to rule three years after becoming emperor.
On the 18th, Qian Weiyan passed away. The descendants of the Wu Yue Queen were extremely elegant. They were not only well-versed in their official careers, but also amazed the world in their poetry and prose. He was the leader of the Xikun faction compared with Yang Yi and Liu Yun, and even Yan Shu was his descendant. In his Luoyang shogunate, they were all talented in poetry and lyrics, and they were known as the "prosperity of the world". They were famous for their romantic talents such as Ouyang Xiu, Xie Jiang, Yin Zhu, Mei Yaochen.
One day, Qian Weiyan held a banquet in the back garden, and the guests arrived, but Ouyang Xiu had not arrived. It took a long time later to see him and an official prostitute. The scholars didn't ask Ouyang and asked the beauty: Why was it late? The answer was: I lost my nap in the heat of summer and the golden hairpin was looking for it, so I came late.
Everyone laughed, if you could ask Ouyang Xiu to write a lyric, we will pay you the golden hairpin. So the famous work in the history of Cipai "Linjiangxian" was born, "The light thunder pool outside the willow, the sound of raindrops dripping with lotus. The west corner of the small building was broken and the rainbow was bright, and the railing was leaning on the railing, waiting for the moon to grow. Swallows flew to peek at the painted building, the jade hook hung down the curtain flag. The cool waves are still flat with the mat patterns, and the crystal pillows are still falling hairpin horizontally."
What's even better is the elegant and understanding of the left-behind adults. Qian Weiyan was elegant and capable of traveling in winter without returning, returning from Yingyang, and when he arrived at the ridge of Longmen Xiang in the evening, he was blocked by heavy snow. He sent someone to cross Yishui at night and sent the official chef and singing girls, saying that the officials were not busy, so please have fun, as long as you return, you will be able to write a good book when you return.
Such days ended in 1034, when Qian Weiyan died, Ouyang Xiu was also transferred back to the capital, entered the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy, taught Xuan Delang, and promoted the proofreading of the Guan Pavilion, becoming a Beijing official. At this time, Fu Bi and others began to become known in their respective positions, but the opportunity to make them rise quickly and shake the status of Lu Yijian, Yan Shu and others occurred in the northwest border thousands of miles away.
If this is not the case, they have to be ranked according to seniority. When both qi and blood are weak and people are old and old, they can only be qualified to be ranked with the minister. I think that at that time, they would have lost the mood to discuss what their shortcomings and strengths are there? The historical process and their reputation will probably be completely different.
At the end of July, a major disaster that caused all emperors, ministers and people in China to suffer but could not do anything about it - the Yellow River changed its course!
The Yellow River often bursts, but the collapse of diverted levels is rare, and it has been recorded in history for 8 times. In the past 100 years, the Song Dynasty was honored to be selected three times! One was 14 years later, in 1048, the other was 1128, at the reciprocity of the Song Dynasty, and the other was 1194, during the reign of the Jin Zhangzong period, and the last was Chairman Jiang's Gardenkou bursting during the War of Resistance Against Japan, which used explosives.
When it comes to the biggest divergence in the history of the Yellow River, it is the one in 1048. The level of divergence in the year Zhao Zhen took power in this year is probably also ranked among the top 10 in Chinese history, second only to those eight major divergences. The great Song Dynasty, which was full of disasters and difficulties, and Renzong, who was worried about the use of power, was really a great fate? Not only was he lucky enough to encounter the biggest divergence in the history of the Yellow River in 1048, but this time he was already in pain.
This time, the Yellow River broke the dike in Henglong section of Jingdong Road, and the flood swept across the Daming Prefecture territory, and then turned northward. The local officials worked hard to repair the dike, but it was still useless, so they had to let it change the way. From then on, rivers in the Central Plains frequently occurred and they were no longer at peace for more than a hundred years!
So Zhao Zhen fainted on August 11, and the personnel were unknown. Kaifeng City mobilized all forces to convene all imperial doctors for consultation, and the final conclusion was that the cause was unknown and he could not start.
So the emperor of the Song Dynasty could only lie in the palace and became a suspected vegetative person. Everyone was waiting to see if he would wake up automatically or finally die. In the end, it was his aunt, Zhao Guangyi's eighth daughter, Princess Wei, saved his life. The aunt recommended an imperial physician to acupuncture on the charge of murdering the emperor. The doctor's treatment method was too fierce. "The needle was enveloped between the heart and the heart, which means to use acupuncture, but the place where the needle was lowered was under His Majesty's heart. Think about how sensitive it was, is it similar to that of Hua Tuo who wanted to split Cao Cao's head and Qin Minghe who acupunctured Li to treat Baihui acupoints? But the effect was so tempting: the imperial physician promised to wake up immediately.
But who dares to believe it? Everyone unanimously opposed it... But the princess of Wei kicked them aside with one sentence and one method: 1 If something happens, I will die 2 Find a eunuch, and try it first where the needle is to be put.
As a result, the eunuch was safe and sound. OK! The operation was performed immediately! Renzong woke up immediately! History remembered the name of the imperial physician: Xu Xizhen was immediately awarded a Hanlin medical officer and was rewarded with a huge sum of money. Mr. Xu used this money to build a Bian Que Temple in the west of Kaifeng City. Before it was repaired, a large number of students who learned medicine came from all over the country. The court even moved the Imperial Medical Bureau next to the Bian Que Temple.
But Zhao Zhen himself really wanted to faint again and never see this annoying world and those scoundrels again!
Because once he wakes up, he will not only have to face the Yellow River disaster relief, but also endure the accusations and scoldings. This is the so-called "insider" about his fainting this time.
On the 13th, the former Prime Minister Wang Zeng returned to the court to serve as Privy Councilor. An official named Shi Jie from Yingtian Prefecture immediately wrote to him to report the situation. It was strange that the people in Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing knew the most in detail what happened in Kaifeng City, Tokyo? Shi Jie (Erjie of the Northern Song Dynasty, only Shi and Tang) said that the emperor deposed the queen and favored beauty, and reached the level of "advocating favorable women, friends in the palace, and drinking and having fun all the time". Then the emperor was unconscious... The whole retribution of lust and excessive indulgence!
At the same time, the censor in the capital also submitted a memorial. It was Fan Zhongyan's friend, Teng Zongliang, who rebuilt Yueyang Tower. The overall meaning of the memorial was to persuade the emperor to pay attention to his health and alienate his inner favor. This is all good, but please see the specific sentence he used - "Living in the deep palace on a sunny day, lingering in a deserted banquet, and when he was in the court, he was often tired and decisive, and he decided to do things as if he was not in the holy mind..."
In the end, the ministers used their ultimate skill to invite the imperial concubine who lived in seclusion in the deep palace, Zhao Zhen's real adoptive mother, Yang. However, although the mother-in-law came forward, Zhao Zhen still failed to make Zhao Zhen decide to drive away Shang and the other beauty Yang.
The decisive blow actually came from his personal eunuch Yan Wenying. Now Zhao Zhen is still in 24 hours of recuperation, so the eunuch kept mourning for 1,440 minutes: drive away the beauty, drive away the beauty... Zhao Zhen was almost crazy, but at some point his will suddenly collapsed, and he accidentally pointed his head.
In this moment, the eunuch Yan disappeared in front of him. At the other end of the palace, he directed people to put Shang and Yang in two felt cars, pulled out of the palace gate, and closed the door again. That day, the two beauties cried bitterly and refused to leave, but Yan Wenying shouted, "What are you palace maids who have anything to say? Get in the car."
On the 15th of the next day, an imperial edict was heard in the palace, and Meiren Shang was ordered to become a monk. Meiren Yang was relieved of being quiet in the slap incident and was only moved out of the palace to "resettlement of other houses" and the news came out. Everyone celebrated together, leaving only the emperor alone in the inner courtyard of the deep palace...
Is it so difficult to choose a woman he likes to live? The fact is really difficult. He was once again forced to marry the granddaughter of General Cao Bin, the most educated and most recognized and loved by the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty. The woman he originally liked was once again kicked out of the palace, just like Miss Wang more than ten years ago and Sister Shang and Sister Yang more than half a year ago.
This time, the younger sister's surname is Chen, and she is the daughter of a big tea merchant in Shouzhou. At first sight, Zhao Zhen was sure that he had found the dreamer. He personally read the "Bai Ye Picture", which was the act of the Song Dynasty choosing auspicious day for Liangchen. He wanted to set a date for his wedding! Let's recall the people Zhao Zhen once liked and hated, and it was easy to find Zhao Zhen's mate-choice orientation: he did not love ladies from home, but liked folk women, the jass of a small family. Miss Wang, Empress Zhang, Shang Meiren, Yang Meiren, and Sister Chen, none of them had a prominent background. From this, one can also see a little bit of a corner of Zhao Zhen's soul. He was deliberately trained to become a crown prince since he was a child. He had no family ties, love, act coquettish, play and other children's privileges, so he hoped for these. But what's so bad is that there are always people to hinder him.
The first one that jumped out was the political affairs officer Song Shou. He came to the door with the most shocking red-headed document of the year. It was a chasing ceremony. Yang Ermei left the palace and Zhao Zhen issued an edict. Song Shou read it word by word. There are 8 words in it: "See the virtues and govern the internally." You have promised the people of the whole country: to find a girlfriend from the noble family. But now I am looking for a lowly businessman's daughter!
Zhao Zhen is a little confused. Such a long edict is hard for you to remember... Nonsense, Song Tanzheng stared at me, that was what I wrote back then!
Immediately afterwards, a large number of prime ministers including Prime Minister Lu Yijian, Privy Councilor Wang Zeng, Privy Councilor Cai Qi and other prime ministers took turns to fight. Zhao Zhen hid in the inner courtyard of the palace. I am afraid of you, so I hide!
On this day, he opened the "Battle Picture" again to choose a good day for himself and Sister Chen, but he heard someone suddenly ask behind him, "What is your Majesty reading this?"
When I turned around, it was the eunuch Yan Shiliang who specialized in medicine. Zhao Zhen replied, "What do you want to say?"
Eunuch Yan was very frightened and did not answer, so he continued to ask, "Does Your Majesty know what kind of official Zicheng envoy is? That is the name of the servants in the minister's family... The Chen Cha Shang, the official he donated was Zicheng envoy. If you marry his daughter, where will you place the ministers and ministers? Where will you place yourself? Where will your ancestors and ancestors..."
"Enough" Zhao Zhen stopped shouting! He knew his dream was broken again...
On October 18, Cao Bin's granddaughter Cao was made the queen. This is a classic queen and the image of the empress dowager in the history of the Song Dynasty. It is also very influential among the people. Because her younger brother Cao Qi is the prototype of Cao Guojiu in the folk mythology Eight Immortals...
Zhao Zhen was sad, but Li Yuanhao couldn't be sure whether he was sad or happy...
In July, Li Yuanhao led more than 10,000 troops to invade Song. He defeated the Song army at Longmaling, and defeated the reinforcements led by Qi Zongju at Jieyifeng...
In October, Li Yuanhao gave several major orders such as baldness, changing his clothes, changing his name, and changing his year name, which marked another big step forward on the road to independence. Li Yuanhao started with himself, his originally thick black hair disappeared. He shaved a big bald head, wore an ear hole, and put on a pair of overweight earrings. Then he ordered all the party members to use me as a model and must shaved their heads and wear earrings within three days, and emphasized that they must be heavy. Otherwise, beheaded and exterminate the clan! Use the famous order more than 600 years later. The second thing is to "lead your hair without your head, leave your head without your hair". The second thing that accompanied Li Yuanhao's bald head was his new clothes. He was wearing a snow-white tight narrow shirt (historical information on the lower body is not recorded, but it must be worn). He wore a red felt crown on his head, and a red knot hanging behind the crown. The red and white are matched, bright and luxurious. From then on, this is the standard clothing of the Dangxiang royal family. In addition, the official uniforms of civil and military officials at all levels are stipulated. The common people are only allowed to wear blue or green clothes, and they will be beheaded if they are mixed. As long as Li Yuanhao climbs up and looks , you can immediately see who is who in your country, as long as you are not color blind, you can definitely tell it clearly. The third thing is that with bald heads, Li Yuanhao's new name appeared. He changed his surname to the entire Dangxiang royal family, "Weiming" and abandoned all the official positions he granted to the Song and Liao dynasties. He is no longer the King of Xiping or King of Xia. He is the word "Wuzu" in Dangxiang, which means the emperor Khan, and is the most noble and noble title that nomadic peoples can imagine! Therefore, Li Yuanhao's name in his own clan became "Weiming Wuzu", but this "Wuzu" How should I pronounce it? The Chinese transliteration is "My Ancestor"... Damn it! Even if there are 10,000 Dangxiang translations to explain this is a misunderstanding, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty will inevitably tie it to a swearing saying: I am your grandfather! The fourth thing is that this 1034 year should have been the three years of Xixia. But what is the clear way? It is obvious! Li Yuanhao completely abandoned the reign of the Song Dynasty and changed the reign to "Kaiyun". But someone soon told him that it was the destruction of Shi Chonggui of the Later Jin Dynasty, which was destroyed by Yelu Deguang... Bah! It's really declining! It's changed again immediately and became "Guangyun"
The above is a series of efforts made by Li Yuanhao to establish an independent country. This should be classified as "happy", but I don't know if the other thing should be classified as "sad".
It was still October, Li Yuanhao poisoned his biological mother to death and sank all his mother Wei Mu family. The incident started when his uncle Wei Mu Shanxi wanted to murder him and failed. It was said that this was just what Shanxi did, but the Wei Mu family was powerful and was not under Li Yuanhao's own Tuoba family. In order to eliminate future troubles, Li Yuanhao did not care about family affection, poisoned his biological mother and destroyed the Wei Mu family. (To be continued)
