The old bastard Sima Guang, he was the only one in the Puyi opposition who was not punished but was promoted instead. Now he appeared again and asked him and Lu Hui to be treated equally and demoted to other places. It was very touching and just. But the result was completely different. Zhao Shu disagreed with it. What's going on?

We can say: This is Zhao Shu who wants to set a positive example. But it is still too one-sided. Looking at the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty, the old bastard's official survival skills are the best! Not only Renzong, but Yingzong Dynasty, this is the case, even in Shenzong and Zhezong Dynasty, no one can match it.

On April 18, Sima Guang presented Emperor Yingzong with a book called "Tongzhi", a total of 8 volumes. In a chronological style, he described the history from the three families' division of Jin to the surrender of Qin Prince Ziying to Liu Bang. After reading it, Emperor Yingzong of Song praised it repeatedly and encouraged Sima Guang to continue writing according to his previous expectations until the end of the Five Dynasties. He also named the book "The Deeds of Emperors and Ministers of the Years" (later Song Shenzong named "Zizhi Tongjian") and sent Liu Shu and Zhao Junxi (Zhao did not participate in the compilation because his father was mourning, so Liu Yan replaced him) an assistant.

In September, the border conflict between Song and Xia had been intermittent for a few years. This time, the little emperor Li Liangzuo was determined to bet a big one! The bet was his own 0-year-old life! Li Liangzuo personally took the battle and led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to attack Dashun City, an important border town on the Song Dynasty. He siege for three days and three nights.

Thousands of arrows were fired at the top of Dashun City. Li Liangzuo lost the bet. Although his hat was very well-made and blocked his noble head for him, he couldn't care about it. After several arrows, he took the lead in running back to continue his last 16 months of life...

But Li Liangzuo, who was already on the verge of life, was still threatening on the border line: I want to increase my troops and fight again! The saying "I will get the annual gift of the Song Dynasty first, and then attack the Song Dynasty city" was soon spread to Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

But the coach of the Fuyan Road, Lu Xian and Prime Minister Han Qi, disdained this: Li Liangzuo, is just asking for trouble! Let's send someone to the border to scold him, and then tell him that the Song Dynasty will permanently close the court! This little brat will become sensible!

Although Wen Yanbo, the Privy Councilor in charge of military affairs, was a little panicked, he felt that this was too risky and would cause more trouble... Just as he was about to start classic thoughts such as good neighborly and friendship, Han Qi interrupted him: Listen to me, just do it!

So the envoy of the Song Dynasty came to the border with a rebuke edict and an order to close the court. Han Qi was worthy of being the only minister who was still alive and fought desperately with Li Yuanhao on the battlefield. He understood the background of the people of Xixia!

Li Liangzuo surrendered and withdrew his troops and returned home. After arriving at home, he wrote a deep-seated review letter and sent it to Kaifeng City. At this time, Song Yingzong was also seriously ill and lay weakly on the hospital bed. He looked up at Han Qi and said only one sentence, "As expected."

On October, Song Yingzong began to get sick.

In October, Guo Zunzhi, a single cavalry in the Battle of Sanchuankou, defeated 100,000 Xixia troops. Guo Zunzhi's brother, who was bravely killed in battle, signed the letter with the Privy Council, Guo Kui, the governor of the Fourth Road in Shaanxi, was appointed as the border guard of the Fourth Road in Shaanxi and the power to judge Weizhou. Guo Kui was a famous general of the Shenzong Dynasty. He was about to write the legend of the military merits of the Shenzong Dynasty with Wang Shao, the commander of the Xihe border, and the Yao family army...

This was Zhao Shu's last winter. He collapsed, and the Pu Yi dispute exhausted his energy. The process was so sad and happy, and the ups and downs that he had never experienced before seriously damaged his health. Especially these were still deeply suppressed in his heart, and no one could tell or share them. He was too tired and too sensitive.

He was sick. When he fulfilled his greatest wish and finally could do something for the country, he fell on the bed, even losing his ability to speak. He could only communicate with the outside world with a trembling pen.

This situation is strictly kept confidential to the outside world, and only a few masters at the top know about it. Among them, Han Qi is the most sensitive. He goes to the bedroom to observe every day on the grounds of handing over the approval of official documents.

Zhao Shu became weaker day by day, and he knew that another crisis was coming. One thing mentioned in historical books later was generally considered to be the outbreak of loyalty of Xianggong Han, which was considered for the next generation of kings of the Song Dynasty.

One day in November, Han Qi walked out of the bedroom and saw Zhao Shu's eldest son Zhao Xu standing by the door with a worried look on his face. Han Qi walked over and said, "I hope the great king will never leave the emperor."

The future Emperor Shenzong was puzzled and said casually, "This is the job of the Son of Man."

Han Qi looked at Zhao Xu meaningfully and said 4 words "It's not for this." Then Zhao Xu immediately understood. What did Zhao Xu understand? Historical books of history say: This is to remind Zhao Xu that your father will die at any time. Although you are the eldest son, you are not the prince. Beware of your two younger brothers and hold the throne you deserve in your hands!

But may I ask, as the eldest son, how could Zhao Xu take away the throne by those two younger brothers? Even if there is one, this is not very likely, right?

So where is the threat Han Qi implied? There is an answer to turn the idea back to the original point of the contradiction! They are guarding against Empress Dowager Cao! The brothers of the Song Dynasty ended with their brothers, and Zhao Shu himself was the adopted son, and he was acting in a mess after ascending the throne. Empress Dowager Cao took the opportunity to establish another emperor, a royal family of Zhao Shu's younger brothers? Isn't it possible? It's very natural!

If it really becomes the fact, Zhao Xu will not be able to become Emperor Shenzong of Song, and Han Qi's bastard behavior over the past year will also be counterattacked! This is a matter of concern for his wealth and life. It is precisely because of this fatality that Han Qi is decisive!

On January 1, Zhao Shu's condition suddenly worsened, and the priests arrived urgently. Prime Minister Han Qi stepped forward to propose: Considering your health, please enthrone the crown prince as soon as possible. Zhao Shu lay on the bed and dying, nodding slightly. Han Qi immediately handed the pen to Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu finally wrote 7 words "Make the king the crown prince"

The king is the eldest son, and everyone knows it is Zhao Xu, but this is not standardized. Han Qi said again, "This must refer to King Ying, please write it clearly."

Zhao Shu could only struggle and wrote another word "Ying Wang Xu"

Afterwards, the center of gravity of the audience instantly changed, and Zhang Fangping, a Hanlin scholar, urgently summoned to the palace to draft an order. When Zhang came in, Zhao Shuji became weaker and could not speak or write with his hands. He just sighed and wrote and painted on the collapse of the bed with his fingers. Only then did Zhang Fangping realize that he wanted to establish the prince.

This matter is serious. Even if Han Qi took the 10 words written by Zhao Shu, Zhang Fangping ignored it. He insisted that the emperor write again in person. Helplessly, Zhao Shu had to grit his teeth to complete it. When he finally finished all of them, everyone present saw: two lines of tears slowly slipped on his face...

Why did he cry? Historical books gave the answer with the answers between two famous ministers. After walking out of the bedroom, Wen Yanbo said to Han Qi, "Did you see it? At this point in life, even father and son cannot remain indifferent." Han Qi replied coldly, "The state affairs should be like this, what can I do?"

From this we can see that Zhao Shu was nostalgic for the throne. He was particularly sad when he thought that he was unable to support his illness and had to pass the throne to his son. It reminded people of Zhao Guangyi's roar, "Everyone's hearts are all about the crown prince, where will I place me?" The bitch is indeed worthy of being the direct descendant of the big bitch, and his super strong jealousy is exactly the same!

On the 19-year-old Zhao Xu was made the crown prince. To be honest, no matter what, Song Yingzong Zhao Shu died too early. I am not saying that it is necessary to let him survive and continue to torture the Song Dynasty, but that he did not leave enough time for his son Zhao Xu and the future Emperor Shenzong of Song.

Zhao Xu had grown up in the Pu Palace before, and had never entered the palace and received the traditional education necessary for princes. He did not know what the world was like. The Song Dynasty, which had been established for 107 years, was a life form with its own unique personality. If you don’t understand it, you can’t adapt to it, let alone control it... It’s a pity that Zhao Xu, the Emperor Shenzong of Song, gradually understood this until he died, but it was too late at that time... He would regret that the entire Han people would regret it, and regret that Zhao Shu, this bitch, died so early. He should indeed live a few more years!
