By the way, Zhao Pu's brother-in-law was named Hou Renbao, a family member. He had thousands of acres of fertile land and lived a leisurely and comfortable life. Suddenly one day he wanted to become an official. Zhao Pu was the prime minister at that time, so good! In a word, Hou Renbao became the prefect of Luoyang. But in a blink of an eye, Zhao Pu fell, and Lu Duoxun made some suggestions in front of Zhao Kuangyin and sent Hou Renbao from Luoyang to Yongzhou. From then on, for nine consecutive years, he stood guard in the southernmost part of his motherland, without even having a family leave.

In order to go home, Hou Renbao actually came up with a shocking solution, even if he threw the country onto the battlefield, he would do whatever he wanted. He wrote to Zhao Guangyi, Your Majesty, Jiaozhi mutiny has changed. The commander was killed, and the country was in chaos. I want to go to Beijing to report to you the method of attack.

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed. You should know that Jiaozhi had become independent during the Five Dynasties. When Wang Quanbin conquered Later Shu, he let the Dali Kingdom go, which made Pan Mei have to go to the Southern Han Dynasty. And his brother's regret was his younger brother's career. Zhao Guangyi immediately sent someone to summon Hou Renbao to Beijing.

Seeing that Hou Renbao's dream was about to come true. He didn't want to lead troops to fight, but he just wanted to find an opportunity to go back to Kaifeng, and then he would not leave any longer. But he never expected that his brother-in-law's mortal enemy would not miss any opportunity to abuse - Your Majesty, summon Hou Renbao to Beijing, and the news would leak. It would be better to send him directly to Lingnan, so that he could succeed in the battle!

So on July 6, 980, Hou Renbao wanted to cry but did not cry and led troops from his garrison Yongzhou to fight...

To put it simply, Hou Renbao was wronged by the country. A civil servant who had never been on the battlefield killed more than 1,000 Jiaozhi people and began to be blindly optimistic. Before the entire army arrived, he ordered the army to advance. As a result, the Jiaozhi people seemed to be afraid of him. In March of the 6th year of Taiping Xingguo (981), he surrendered in March, and he was happy. As a result, he was cut off by the Jiaozhi people at the surrender meeting. So Xu Zhongxuan returned to Beijing to report Hou Renbao's death in battle, but directly announced the withdrawal of the army. The reason was that if the imperial court ordered, the expeditionary army would all die.

In this way, the Zheng Jiaozhi failed. The party struggles in the court affected the military victory and defeat of the Song Dynasty for the first time. But at that time, no one thought about this...

Because on March 18, Zhao Defang, another living son of the late emperor, died as soon as he died, at the age of 23. This time, he did not scold him, did not commit suicide, did not have a fruit knife, and did not have a live broadcast, and he hugged the corpse and cried. It seemed that people were used to it... There was no evidence. As for people's speculation at that time, it was hard to say...

On June 9, Prime Minister Xue Juzheng passed away.

On July 11, Zhao Guangyi was ambitious and wanted to attack Liao in large numbers. He went down to the King of Bohai, who was known as the prosperous country of Haidong but was destroyed by Yelu Abaoji, and agreed to join forces to attack Liao. After the success, Yanyun's hometown was taken back from the Song Dynasty, and the grasslands in the northern desert could all belong to the Bohai Kingdom. This first "family and near attack" in the history of the Song Dynasty did not receive any response from the Bohai Kingdom.

In September, with the death of Zhao Defang and Xue Juzheng, the officialdom of Taizong Dynasty ushered in a major reshuffle. First, a man named Chai Yuxi suddenly reported the prefect of Kaifeng. King Zhao Tingmei of Qin said that he was "arrogant" and Zhao Guangyi attached great importance to it. In response to "being able" he responded to "prevent" and he needed an old comrade with rich political experience and high level of struggle to check him. So far, everything was normal and understandable. But no one expected the next step that the person he was looking for was... Zhao Pu!

What is even more surprising is that Zhao Pu took the initiative to say, "I want to work at the core hub of the court to observe whether there is any conspiracy to rebel." And the court wrote a sealed memorial to the emperor overnight: Your Majesty asked him to go to the inner courtyard of the palace to search carefully, and there was an important small gold box. It contained the will signed and effective together with your mother, your elder brother, and minister Zhao Pu, which proves that your ascension to the throne is reasonable and legal.

Good things, great creativity. It just seems a little late? At this time, Zhao Guangyi had been the emperor for nearly 5 years. Moreover, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, the biological sons of the late emperor, were all dead. Is it meaningful to talk about whether it is legal? But Zhao Guangyi's "great insight" immediately summoned Zhao Pu to the palace and said to him, "No one is wrong. I have not waited for 50 years, and I have known that 49 years of mistakes." On the 17th, Zhao Pu was appointed as Situ and Shizhong.

According to regulations, the prefect of Kaifeng and the King of Qin were above the prime ministers, just like the former prefect of Kaifeng and King of Jin. Every dynasty was the first person under the imperial throne. But on the 18th, Zhao Tingmei took the initiative to apply to return this position to the former old prime minister, and he would rather retreat. Zhao Pu also accepted it happily.

Zhao Pu then used practical actions to demonstrate to all court officials. He told them what techniques they had to use to draw a sword in front of Lu Duosun, but suddenly stabbed the Qin King Zhao Tingmei in the butt. After stabbing with one sword, Lu Duosun himself was still shouting for help.

Speaking of the hatred between Zhao Pu and Lu Duosun, it was really a waste. In addition to the ones that had been introduced, another thing: Zhao Pu's son Zhao Chengzong was forced to be the prefect in Tanzhou like Hou Renbao, and could not return to the capital like his uncle. Later, Zhao Pu finally told his son that he had a marriage. The woman was the daughter of Zhao Guangyi's sister Princess Yan and Gao Huaide, the governor of Guide. After marrying the royal family, she could generally stay in Beijing to work. In this way, no matter the position, at least the father and son reunite and live a happy life! But less than a month after marriage, Lu Duosun submitted a letter to ask Zhao Chengzong to leave Beijing and return to office... It's unbearable! Lu Duosun, you bastard, have to mess with my brother-in-law and have to mess with my son again, so you must kill my whole family, right? Well! Now I am also the prime minister. Let's do it and live to the death!

Jinming Pond is located north of Shuntianmen, the west wall of Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, opposite to Qionglin Garden in the south of the road. After completion, the two were combined into one, becoming a huge bathtub that surpassed the spiritual pool of the Zhou Emperor and the Kunming Pond in Chang'an, Han Dynasty. The public reason was to train the navy. This pool was made by hand. It was started from the first year of Taiping Xingguo, that is, Zhao Guangyi had just ascended the throne. Not only did he recruit craftsmen, but he even used an active-duty army of 35,000 people, it would take 7 years to complete.

The emperor would lead all officials here to watch the training of the navy every year, and also to have a lucky imperial examination banquet at Qionglinyuan. The lucky one who was in the imperial examination was a grand banquet in Qionglinyuan. "I also played the horses and I also went to Qionglin Banquet." This is the supreme glory in the traditional Chinese thinking, and it has since become a fixed pattern.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, from March to April every year, Jin Mingchi was open to the public, and anyone could enter and exit this super gorgeous and magnificent royal garden. At that time, Jin Mingchi was a living "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", with gambling, dining and artists everywhere. People could also watch the exercises of the Song Dynasty's naval for free, just like the current National Day military parade, and personally experience the greatness and prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

In March of the 7th year of Taiping Xingguo (982), the last major project of Jinmingchi, the Water Heart Hall, was completed. Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty announced that he would come in person to cut the ribbon for the opening of the Water Heart Hall. He also rafted in the pond and had a day's happiness. Is it a good thing? But the event was suddenly cancelled, and the emperor returned to the palace urgently, and no one knew what was wrong.

On the 11th, an astonishing personnel appointment and removal was suddenly announced - the removal of King Zhao Tingmei of Qin was the prefect of Kaifeng, and was renamed the resignation of Xijing. On the 15th, the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture were represented by Li Fu. On April 5, Song Qi became the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture.

It is said that someone urgently reported that the Qin King Tingmei would launch a coup in Jin Mingchi and seize the throne. There was a plan in mind that if the emperor was not deceived that day, the Qin King would pretend to be sick and close the door and kill people when the emperor visited the palace.

This crime is speechless. Zhao Tingmei has never taken charge of the army in her life. There are naval troops in Jin Mingchi and the emperor has a huge guard. What did he use to kill people in a coup? Pretend to kill people? Do you want to kill your brother at your own home and replace him? Not to mention that Zhao Guangyi is a person with this kind of experience will never be fooled. Even if he succeeds, you gave your two brothers too much the "perfect performance" that year, right?

But no matter what, on April 1, Zhao Tingmei, who was repeatedly urged, finally left Kaifeng. The third brother of the emperor also sent Cao Bin, a Privy Councilor, who was known for his loyal elders, to hold a banquet at Qionglinyuan to practice for him. I just don’t know how Zhao Tingmei would feel when she had a meal at Qionglinyuan beside Jinming Pool? That’s where he was going to "kill" his third brother!

As soon as Zhao Tingmei left Beijing, Kaifeng City was immediately turned upside down. On the 4th, Chen Congxin, Fan Tingzhao and others who had always been friends with him were criticized for "all being on the way to communicate with Qin Wang Tingmei and being personally bribed." Among them, **** was even "deprived of his family and liberated islands" and became a prisoner of the wilderness.

Three days later, on April 7, Zhao Pu personally reported to the emperor - very regretful. Lu Duosun also had a relationship with the King of Qin, and the two agreed that they both hoped that you would die early (Duosun said: I wish the palace car was going to have a morning banquet, and I would do my best to do my best. Tingmei replied: I also wish the palace car was going to have a morning banquet. I also gave Duosun a lot of gifts). The people who were running and contacted were also dug up by Zhao Pu. For a moment, the prison officers in Kaifeng City ran around. Lu Duosun and his followers were all sent to the class room. The "privacy" of the Qin Palace was revealed to the world.

On the 15th, the emperor suddenly realized that he could no longer bear his brother's rebellion and betrayal, and summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the court. Leading by Wang Pu, a total of 74 senior officials submitted a memorial, "Doxun and Tingmei's resentment and curse, and they are ruthless, so it is advisable to be executed. The punishment is correct. Zhao Bai and others are requested to be executed."

The ministers were filled with righteous indignation and were full of killing. However, the Zhao official still cared about brotherhood. On the 16th, he ordered Lu Duosun's family to be sent to Yazhou and did not return when pardoned. Zhao Tingmei was suspended from his post at home to reflect and was not allowed to leave the house. Zhao Bai, Yan Mi and others were all beheaded. All the children of Zhao Tingmei, King of Qin, were brought back to their original form. The prince became the emperor's nephew, and the princess removed the title of princess, and even her husbands were no longer the princess. On the 18th, they all rushed to Luoyang to find their father, and they were not allowed to go to Beijing unless the imperial edict was issued. On the 19th, Shen Yilun was dismissed from the prime minister because he could not find out about Lu Duosun's evil deeds as early as possible and was demoted to the Minister of Works... Zhao Pu became the solemn prime minister of the Song Dynasty after more than 8 years of his life.

The finalization of the attack was completed by Li Fu, the current prefect of Kaifeng. He wrote to him, "Tingmei will not regret resentment and beg to move away from faraway counties to prevent them from changing." On May 20, Zhao Tingmei was demoted to Fuling County Duke and resettled in Fangzhou. On August 4, Zhao Pu was afraid that Li Fu would leak the secret, so he demoted Li Fu to Sima of Ningguo Army on the charge of "improper punishment".

The national players were arranged step by step. At first, the wind rose at the end of Qingping, and in the end it was vast and unstoppable. At this point, everything ended perfectly. After the dust settled, he not only killed his lord Lu Duosun, but even the top official in the Song Dynasty was the only one who was the best in the Song Dynasty. It seemed to be very perfect. He satisfied the emperor and fulfilled himself. But who would have thought that there was a person who benefited the most in this matter was full of dissatisfaction, disdain, and even hatred for him. This person directly led to Zhao Pu's second downfall more than a year later. It was revealed that this person's surname was Zhao, but not Zhao Guangyi.

However, there are many things that have made Zhao Guangyi very worried this year. Because this year, the borders of the Song Dynasty were in full swing and turbulent autumn...

In April, the Emperor of Liao, Yelu Xian, once again led the army to march south. It was where everyone held the formation map more than two years ago. This time, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty in the city still did not play according to the rules and did not think about defending the city. Instead, they rushed out to fight the Khitans under the city and repelled the Emperor of Liao. The arrows were like rain, and they shot the Liao Dynasty's Grand Marshal Yelu Xida to death on the spot. Then they set up an ambush and surrounded Yelu Shanbu. But unfortunately, someone came to rescue him immediately. The person who came was a famous general, the king of the Southern Court of Liao and the Privy Council, Yelu Xizhen. So the ambush circle was defeated, but the Liao people also returned to the country in shame the next month. The other two Liao troops that invaded the south were defeated by Cui Yanjin in Tangxing on May 5. They were defeated by Pan Mei at Yanmen on the 15th.

But what really made the Song Dynasty excited and Zhao Guangyi had nothing to do with this battle.

On May 13, just two days before Pan Mei defeated the Liao army at Yanmen Pass, a group of strange aliens suddenly came to Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty. The leader of the Dangxiang people was led by Li Jipang, the descendant of Xiazhou. They wanted to dedicate their ancestral residences that they had lived for more than 200 years: Xia, Sui, You, Yin, and Jing to the Song Dynasty. This land is the Hetao Plain where "the Yellow River has harmed all the time, and the only one is rich".

If you are Zhao Guangyi, such a generous gift came from the sky, do you want it?

Putting aside the rich resources of the five states in Dingnan, just looking at their geographical location, you must hold on and never let go. Opening the map, these five states directly threaten the Guanzhong Plain. It was the location of Chang'an where Zhao Kuangyin had imagined that the capital was finally established. If someone in the five states in Dingnan caused chaos, then the six routes of Yongxing, Fuyan, Huanqing, Qinfeng, Jingyuan, Xihe and other provinces in Shaanxi Province would not be at peace. There were more than 370 forts and more than 350 forts in its jurisdiction to prepare for war at all times.

So if anyone wants them, he is purely a lunatic, a fool, or even a traitor.

But please think again: Why didn’t Emperor Taizu reach out for such a good place? Even Tiankhan Li Shimin was just there to “restrain” and allow local people to govern themselves locally?

But Zhao Guangyi now put aside these old history and carefully analyzed the reasons why these Dangxiang people gave free gifts: 1. If Li Jipang was sincere, then the Dangxiang tribe was in chaos. He had been abandoned by his tribe. 2. If the Dangxiang tribe was in chaos, then you must hurry up. Look around it. The Song Dynasty was in the east, the Great Liao Dynasty was in the northeast, the Western Regions countries on the Silk Road. The Southwest was a feud Tubo. If the Song Dynasty did not take action, can you stop others from attacking?

Zhao Guangyi quickly reached out and gave Li Ji a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, and built a super luxurious house for the Li family in the capital. Then he ordered all the Li clans to move immediately. At the same time, Yin Xian was sent as the governor of Xiazhou, and Cao Guang was the inspector of the capital, with all civil and military personnel. He almost instantly turned the local "local officials" into "reilient officials" of the mainland nature. Isn't it amazing? It's so fast to change the land and return to the big bitch.
