The emperor and the prime minister decided to destroy Xiazhou City and move the people in the city to other places. In this way, an important stronghold for Dangxiang to rebel against the Party was gone. With Li Jiqian's ability, he would never be able to build a city again. Can he run away? OK! He ran away from the monk but also lost the temple...

Li Jilong was shocked. Master! Did you see that you were obsessed with reading? Use your living habits to measure the Dangxiang people? There is no city, Li Jiqian and tents. But we Han people have to want a city. With the Xiazhou city here, we can garrison troops and lay nails in the five states of Dingnan. Li Jiqian has to take a detour wherever he thinks, and be careful to be tripped at all times.

Li Jilong quickly sent his younger brother Li Jihe and the military supervisor Qin Han back to Kaifeng. Not only did he oppose the demolition of Xiazhou City, but he also suggested that some strongholds be added in Yinzhou and Xiazhou's southern Jieshan. In this way, the gradual erosion of this land can be turned into a mainland prefecture and county. At least with them, the rebel food route can be cut off... The court immediately replied: General Li, follow the command of all actions. Your task is to capture Li Jiqian, don't care about the others! In order to take care of your face, I will not announce your memorial this time.

Therefore, Xiazhou City, the once famous Tongwan City, was driven by Helian Bobo in 413 and lasted for 6 years to build the unprecedented city, which could not penetrate the wall with all its strength, was demolished...

The center of gravity turned to the southwest. In mid-April, the Song Dynasty reinforcements finally crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, successfully passed Jianmen Pass, and entered Sichuan! Wang Ji'en's main force began to attack from Jianzhou. His deputy Cao Xi set out from Jiameng Pass and attacked Langzhou. Soon, Jian, Lang, Mian and Bazhou fell one after another. During the march, Shi Zhirong also divided thousands of troops to Zizhou to aid Zhang Yong, but more than 200,000 rebels collapsed instantly.

The combat effectiveness of the rebel army dropped sharply. What is the reason? The problem lies in the core man - Li Shun! After conquering Chengdu, he really regarded himself as the emperor. No matter what happened on the front line, he always spent all his time in Chengdu city...

On May 6, the Song army arrived at the city of Chengdu, and the city was broken that day. More than 100,000 rebels were defeated, and more than 30,000 people were killed on the spot. They did not support it for a day. They resisted with hunger and cold, but failed due to wealth. This is the essence of this uprising...

"I am sick, rich and poor, and now I will be equal to you." Wang Xiaobo's shocking words are still in his ears. Unfortunately, he was thrown back to his hometown in Qingcheng by Li Shun, the "King of Great Shu". What a beautiful dream, which was once so heart-pounding, but in the end, only one record was left in history - the slogan of "equalizing rich and poor" was clearly put forward for the first time in the history of the Chinese peasant war.

The Wang Xiaobo uprising ended. No matter whether Li Shun was really killed in battle or his whereabouts were unknown on that day, he was arrested and killed in Guangzhou more than 30 years later, it doesn't matter.

On the 15th, Zhao Baozhong was taken to Kaifeng, and Zhao Guangyi personally blamed him. On the 16th, he was named General of the Right Qianniu Guard and Marquis of Suzu.

But Zhao Guangyi was still in a low mood at this time. Because Wang Ji'en's dead eunuch completely copied Wang Quanbin's "spunishing his children's jade and silk" and "killing people like jokes" completely angered the people of Shuchuan. So in that month, Zhang Yu's people rose up again and led more than 10,000 rebel troops to conquer Jia, Rong, Lu, Yu, Fu, Zhong, Wan, and Kai 8 states, and then continued to attack Kuizhou. As long as this level is opened, they can go east to the Three Gorges and disrupt the Zhao family's world again...

On the 19th, Bai Jiyun, appointed by Zhao Guangyi, entered Kuizhou, and attacked Jie Shougong from front to back, defeated the peasant army, beheading more than 20,000. They fought and retreated, and retreated until the initial Jiazhou.

On July 25, Li Jiqian sent an envoy and sent his younger brother Li Yanxin to Beijing to pay tribute in August, bringing many top-notch horses. In the official apology, he still called himself "Zhao Baoji", that is, he emphasized that he was still a minister of the Song Dynasty... He returned the throne with respect, and Zhao Guangyi decided to give his ministers a chance to correct his mistakes. He replied to the edict, and called Zhao Baoji, which was equivalent to agreeing to Li Jiqian's confession.

But after thinking about it carefully, the two most important symbols of Li Jiqian's rebellion against Song - Princess Yicheng and King Xia, were still by his side at this time, and he did not return anything to the Great Khitan. In other words, Li Jiqian's feet were still on the Song and Liao ships at the same time, and nothing changed...

The southwest is still in severe turmoil, and the northwest is still going to fight. The threat still exists. It seems that the humiliating thing has to be done...

On August 6, Zhao Guangyi sent people to the Great Khitan to seek peace. On September 12, Zhao Guangyi sent people to the Great Khitan to seek peace for the second time... This was passed by in the history of the Song Dynasty, but it really happened that year...

The Great Khitan refused on the grounds that the Song Dynasty did not submit a formal letter of peace. Zhao Guangyi did not make any further statements. The matter was left unresolved. But this was the first time in nearly 40 years that the Khitans received the Han people's active show of kindness. Their reaction was very surprised. They immediately restricted the border generals and were not allowed to enter the Song Dynasty at will. And immediately, the Khitans showed their sincerity.

In March of the Chinese New Year, more than 100 people from Wuqing County, Liao Dynasty, privately joined the Song Dynasty to rob. After returning, they were ordered by the Emperor of Liao to be executed, and all the people, animals, and property they robbed were returned.

Looking back on the whole process, there is actually no humiliation, and the goal has been achieved. But in Zhao Guangyi and even all the court officials of the Song Dynasty, they were sad and sad. Can you imagine it? For 40 years, starting from Chai Rong, the Han people have revived strongly, and even raised troops to recover their hometowns. But all this has become a distant memory...

In any case, humiliation can only be buried in his heart, and the mess must be cleaned up. On August 24, half a month after entering Liao for peace, Zhao Guangyi appointed Zhao Changyan, the deputy general, to enter Shu. Since Wang Ji'en and under his jurisdiction, he must completely eliminate the chaos in Shu! But immediately, in early September, he sent a quick horse to catch up with Zhao Changyan and asked him not to move even when he moved in Fengxiang. He suddenly remembered: Although Zhao Changyan was his confidant and had strong military power, this man had no children. If he let him into Shuchuan, it would be like a kite breaking its string.

Then he was promoted to Wang Ji'en. In order to reward the eunuch, the emperor specially created an official title - Xuanzheng Envoy, but he never gave the "Xuanhui Envoy" a very important position. Pan Mei had obtained it. Because of the Xuanhui Envoy, he could be justified in contact with politics.

Zhang Yong was sent to Chengdu again. Zhang Yong, the top minister in Song Dynasty, started his most difficult but most brilliant performance in his career. His ability was unimaginable. Not only did he stop Wang Ji'en's army from being undisciplined, he also reported to the court the month he arrived in Chengdu, and he no longer had to transport military rations from Shaanxi to Chengdu. Moreover, Shuchuan had about two years of grain storage. Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed, "I asked for food in Yizhou because of the lack of food. Before long, I was prepared for two years. What could this person be done? I have no worries."

In September, in addition to sending Zhang Yong to Chengdu, Zhao Guangyi also summoned Zhang Yong's Jinshi of the same year, one of his favorite subordinates in his later years, from Qingzhou. He lifted his trouser legs in the palace, "Why are you here?" Why are you here so slowly? Look at my injuries...

This is Kou Zhun. When Zhao Pu was prime minister in his later years, he only looked at two subordinates: Kou Zhun, Zhang Qixian. Zhang Qixian was also Taizu, the person that Taizong wanted to be the two emperors. Kou Zhun was young and had never met Emperor Taizu, but he was the favorite minister of Emperor Taizong in his later years. However, it was precisely because of his age that Zhao Guangyi was not very at ease with this talent at the beginning. Because he was only 19 years old when he passed the imperial examination, Zhao Guangyi chose talents not only depends on his knowledge, but also on his age. Because some things have nothing to do with intelligence and talent. Only when you reach a certain age can you know that life is a bit difficult to explain, but you must understand. At that time, someone advised Kou Zhun to change his age and say how many years he was. But Kou Zhun replied, "Don't change! Did I deceive the emperor from the beginning?"

This made Zhao Guangyi very appreciative. Later, he asked Kou Zhun to practice as a local official for 10 years before Zhao Pu recommended him back to the central government. As soon as he came back, Kou Zhun immediately emerged. The way was to make the emperor unable to come to Taiwan. He talked to the emperor in the hall, which made the emperor angry. Zhao Guangyi stood up and prepared to retreat. Kou Zhun's next move was the only one in the 319 years of the Song Dynasty: he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's clothes. The original text of the Song Dynasty's history "I will sit again, and the matter will be decided to retreat." God! He actually ordered the big bitch to sit back again, and then leave after he finished talking about it!

Zhao Guangyi had never met such a person. He later had a very high evaluation of Kou Zhun. He said that I got Kou Zhun, just like Emperor Taizong of Tang got Wei Zheng. History has proved that Kou Zhun's contribution to the Song Dynasty was much greater than Wei Hui's contribution to the Tang Dynasty!

Chunhua had a severe drought in two years. The emperor asked what happened? Is it because our monarch and ministers had a wrong job recently, and God got angry? Ministers all said that this is the law of heaven and had nothing to do with human affairs. But Kou Zhun said that "Hong Fan" said that the relationship between heaven and man can be affected at any time. At this time, the drought is an injustice in the criminal law.

Zhao Guangyi's face turned dark at that time. He raised his sleeves and wanted to return to the inner palace. At this time, everyone present looked at Kou Zhun. The emperor was about to run away. Should he hold him down and press him down? That day, Kou Zhun let the emperor go back to the house and sulked. After a while, he called him alone and asked him which case he was referring to. Kou Zhun shook his head, I won't tell you now. You called the chiefs of the Secretariat and the Privy Council. I'll tell you. After all the top officials of the Song Dynasty and the Emperor were present, he directly pointed his finger at the Chiefs of the General Secretary.

Wang Mian's younger brother Wang Huai and Zu Ji. Both of them were corrupt. Zu Ji was greedy for tens of millions of dollars, but Wang Huai only made a few slaughter and was restored to the position. What is this not injustice? Wang Mian immediately admitted his guilt, and Kou Zhun was promoted to Deputy Privy Councilor on the spot. But what would even be the one who dared to be arrogant to be his immediate superior? The Privy Councilor was Zhang Xun. Kou Zhun immediately fought with this person after taking office. Not only did he fight in the Privy Councilor, but he also started practicing in front of Zhao Guangyi. For a long time...

One day, Kou Zhun and another deputy Privy Councilor Wen Zhongshu went shopping together. Suddenly, a madman rushed out and shouted long live to him. Kou Zhun immediately avoided. But Zhang Xun learned about this. Zhang Xun instructed Wang Bin to sue Kou Zhun for rebellion. Fortunately, Wen Zhongshu testified to him that the man was a madman.

The result of the incident was that both sides suffered losses, and Kou Zhun and Zhang Xun were demoted. However, the emperor missed Kou Zhun very much and often asked how he was doing in Qingzhou.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi urgently recalled Kou Zhun back to the capital, and asked him a question after seeing his injuries. Someone had said this to the emperor before. The consequence was that five people were demoted and the prime minister was dismissed. But at this time, Zhao Guangyi took the initiative to say "Who can I use the magic weapon?" The emperor began to arrange the funeral...

Kou Zhun replied, "Your Majesty wants to choose a prince for the world. We will discuss with the women and eunuchs around you. This is not possible. We will discuss with close ministers like me, but we will not. There is only one way, which is for you to choose in person."

Zhao Guangyi bowed his head for a long time, held all his servants away, and asked in a low voice, "Is King Xiang okay?"

Kou Zhun replied, "No one knows a son is better than a father. Since you think he can do it, you should make a decision immediately."

At this time, Zhao Guangyi's life suddenly turned around. Orthodox medical officials were still busy. But a monk came: Maozhen, a monk from Mount Emei, and a Taoist priest: Wang Deyi, a native of Henan. The two of them used the left-handed way to control Zhao Guangyi's arrow wounds, just like Hou Mochen used the past to use the left-handed way to control Zhao Guangyi's arrow wounds. The emperor was able to cheer up again and deal with the complicated and chaotic affairs in the world. This monk and Dadao were also favored by the emperor. So Maozhen said that Zhao Changyan had a rebellion, allowing Zhao Guangyi to catch up with Zhao Changyan, who was about to enter Sichuan in Fengxiang. Wang Deyi tried his best to make King Xiang the crown prince.

In this way, Zhao Guangyi's third son, Zhao Yuankan, stood out from many princes. On September 23, he was appointed as Kaifeng Yin and Shou King, and officially became the quasi-Crown Prince. Kou Zhunze became the deputy governor.

On the 28th, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was stubborn and self-respecting and always tried his best to pursue honor, did something shocking - he issued an edict for the rebellion of Shuchuan...

In October, Zhao Guangyi provided an assistant to his son and the new Kaifeng Yin Zhao Yuankan... either a righteous person or a capable minister. He wanted his son to mature quickly and give him his own wings.

In November, he showed a bright smile to Li Jiqian in the northwest. He sent an envoy to send a large number of goods, coins, medicines, clothes, and other things that the party members and even all nomadic peoples would not produce. This touched Li Jiqian very much. To express his gratitude, he sent a Han confidant Zhang Pu to Beijing to pay tribute with a large number of horses and camels.

On February 30, the first year of Zhidao (995), Su Han went to Jiazhou and sent the head of the rebel leader Zhang Yu to the Xichuan camp, and his party was fully settled...

On March 23, Zhao Guangyi received Zhang Pu and his party in Chongzheng Hall. After caring for a few words as usual, he suddenly asked, "Do you still like the three bows and arrows that Li Yanxin brought back last time?" Zhang Pu became a little embarrassed. "I like it. But... I can't pull it" nonsense! It was a bow of 1.6 stone! Song Dynasty 1 stone = now 92.5 jin, which means that the bow reached 148 jin! Li Jiqian once took out this bow given by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to show off to the tribesmen, but none of them could pull it.

It must be opened. Zhao Guangyi smiled slightly and ordered the clerks to gather. He saw hundreds of emperors' guards shooting in front of Chongzheng Hall. Everyone could draw such a bow at will, and they hit every shot. Zhang Pu was frightened. Zhao Guangyi asked, "Would the Rong people dare to fight?" Zhang Pu replied, "The bow of the Fan tribe is too weak, the arrow is too short, and he dare not fight." Zhao Guangyi then got to the topic "The Fan tribe has nothing to nostalgic for. You bring me a message to Li Jiqian, why not surrender to the court and keep wealth and honor forever" (To be continued)
