On April 7, Lu Mengzheng dismissed his prime minister. Another brother named Lu Duan, who took him to the position. At this time, someone reminded the emperor that "Lu Duan was confused" Zhao Guangyi said, "Lu Duan was confused about small matters, but he was not confused about big matters." The emperor, the Zhao family, never delegated power and even did not believe in anyone, gave Lu Duan an unprecedented privilege and honor. "Since today, the matter of the Central Secretariat must be carefully considered by Lu Duan, and he will hear the memorial." Without Lu Duan's recognition, the state's official documents are not allowed to submit the emperor! This is the treatment that Zhao Pu at the heyday has not received... History has proved that this "not confused about big matters" Lu Duan really did not disappoint the emperor's trust. On the night when the emperor passed away two years later, it was him who defeated the plot of the eunuch Wang Ji'en and Empress Li's "second axe sound and candle shadow"...

On the 28th, Empress Song Kaibao, Song, passed away. Does anyone remember her? Taizu's Empress! This is the unquestionable queen! Zeng's mother is in the world and is the lord of the Song Dynasty's harem! Her death must be followed by all subjects, including the current emperor, for the whole state funeral. But the result was that Zhao Guangyi did not mourn the emperor's sister-in-law, and the ministers were not allowed to be filial to the mourning. Empress Song's coffin was moved to her aunt, and the eldest princess of Yan, who had been dead for many years, and then was buried in Puji Temple. This woman who died alone in loneliness did not even have the power of the last bit of death. She could not be buried with her husband, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and even her lord tablet was not allowed to enter the Taimiao, which was equivalent to expelling her from the Zhao family!

There is a saying that after her death, all the threats Zhao Guangyi had passed on to his son were eliminated, but he was truly at ease. The implication is that if Zhao Guangyi was still alive after her death, she could use her appeal to retake the throne back to the Taizu line.

But in historical records, except for the night of the sound of axes and candle shadows, she had ordered Wang Ji'en to summon Defang, which made Zhao Guangyi feel threatened. She never appeared again. Taking a step back, even if she died behind Zhao Guangyi, she was definitely not her brother and sister-in-law, Queen Li's opponent.

The only explanation is the soul of the big bitch. What I was grateful for yesterday may be furious after a night. When I cried and said "Together, I will be worried, and I will be worried." What will it become after 20 years of worrying about external troubles?

Less than two months after Emperor Zhenzong ascended the throne, he gave his uncle Zhao Tingmei, brothers Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang accrued the title and compensated him. However, he did not express any expression to his aunt and the dignified Queen Kaibao. It was not until Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne that his god lord was ascended to the Taimiao. What is this for?

A Hanlin scholar named Wang Yuxi said to the guests in private, "I will try my mother's favor in the world, and I will follow the old etiquette." As a result, Zhao Guangyi was furious. On May 9, I got out of the capital and went to Chuzhou to become an official!

On June 11, Zhao Guangyi sent an envoy to Li Jiqian as the title of Jiedushi in Fuzhou. Let the Jiedushi move. This is the only way for the emperor to eliminate the forces of the vassal states, and the most powerful move! Of course, this is also the second way for the vassal states to rebel against the emperor, and the bloody change of dynasty, and the most powerful move...

I used to abuse the body of Dangxiang people, but this time I changed it to despise Li Jiqian's intelligence. Li Jiqian was a little angry, and it felt so uncomfortable to be despised. I just gave me a good face and immediately wanted my life. Thinking I was an idiot? Li Jiqian thought about it for a long time, but didn't turn against him on the spot, but just replied to three words - not obeying the imperial edict.

On August 18, Zhao Guangyi formally issued an edict to make his third son, King Xiang Zhao Yuankan, the crown prince, and changed his name to Zhao Heng. At the same time, he was amnesty in the world, and ordered the crown prince to be sentenced to Kaifeng Prefecture. This was a grand event in the country. Since the Tianyou period at the end of the Tang Dynasty, a crown prince appeared in the Han area of ​​the Central Plains for the first time in nearly a hundred years.

On that day, Zhao Heng, the new darling of fate, left the palace, went up to the Imperial Road, went to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, and then appeared in front of the people in the capital, winning everyone's cheers, "Young Emperor."

This sentence immediately reached Zhao Guangyi's ears in the inner courtyard of the deep palace. The big bitch was furious and immediately called Kou Zhun, the one who started the incident, to come. The first sentence made people in the next thousand years denounce him as a tiger and wolf nature, and destroyed his family. "The hearts of people belong to the prince, where do you want to place me?" Even if you have to fight for the power of your son, what kind of father is this?

Kou Zhun was not panicked. He uprightly consecrated the court and solemnly blessed the emperor. "Your Majesty chose to establish the crown prince to deliver the magical artifacts of the world. The purpose was to have a lord of the country. Now that the subjects support it, it is the blessing of the country."

Zhao Guangyi did not answer. He left Kou Zhun, returned to the harem, and talked with his queen and concubines for a while. History says that "the harem is full of congratulations" and congratulated the emperor. He then came out and left Kou Zhun. The two of them were drunk that night before they finished.

At this point, Kou Zhun finally achieved a beginning and an end in the enthronement of the prince...

On September 24, according to the old Tang Dynasty system, Emperor Taizong was promoted to the Yuan Palace and the etiquette of enthroning the crown prince was grandly held.

On the 27th, the crown prince gave a book and visited the five rooms of the Taimiao. He wore a horse and left Donghuamen on a regular dress and promoted to the emperor. At this point, Zhao Heng finally became the official successor of the crown prince of the Song Empire.

Just the same month when the Song Dynasty held the enactment ceremony of the crown prince, Li Jiqian attacked the Song Dynasty again. In the historical records of that month, the Qingyuan army in the northwest reported to the Song court, saying that Li Jiqian had invaded and had been defeated and fled.

It is very strong, but shameless. Just take a quick glance at the Song Dynasty history half a year later and you will find that this is an absolute lie! Because when talking about the situation in the northwest, it was mentioned that Lingzhou, the most important strategic leader in the northwest, had been besieged for more than half a year!

What a ruthless fact! Li Jiqian once again publicly opposed the Song Dynasty and rushed directly to Lingzhou, the biggest key in the local area, and would not give up until he took it down. But the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty reacted at that time: We don’t know anything, and we have more important things to do!

On October 12, His Majesty Taizong took out a newly made zither to show them to the ministers. The form of this zither set a precedent for the past, absolutely unprecedented. It is no longer a seven-string guqin, but a nine-string guqin. Your Majesty explained to the ministers: the nine-strings are in turn—the king, minister, civil, military, ritual, music, righteousness, people, and heart. The ministers danced and worshiped, and were very happy.

In November, Zhao Guangyi appointed Shangguan Zheng, and Lei Youzhong and two others as Xichuan recruitment envoys, cooperated with Zhang Yong's work and exchanged the eunuch Wang Ji'en back.

On March 2, 2nd year of Zhidao (996), King Wang Zhi of Goryeo invited marriage to the Great Khitan. The Liao lord stayed in Tokyo and married the daughter of the famous general Xiao Hengde.

In April, Zhao Guangyi ordered Bai Shourong to escort 400,000 stones of grain and grass to Lingzhou. As a result, Li Jiqian personally led his army to ambush in the Puluo River. Bai Shourong's entire army collapsed, and 400,000 stones of grain and grass fell into Li Jiqian's hands.

Looking back on the recent process of a grudge between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty, it was Zhao Guangyi who was looking for trouble for nothing. He first destroyed the peaceful situation that was beneficial to the Song Dynasty and forced Li Jiqian to rebel. Then he let it go, and watched Lingzhou, a major northwest town, was besieged day and night by the Dangxiang people but ignored it. Everything was so stupid that it was boring that it could not be explained.

But this is just the surface. The real situation is that it has been discussed within the Song Dynasty about whether to save Lingzhou or not, and how to save it. The most important point is that Li Jiqian's strength has far exceeded the pre-estimation of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers. This time, Li Jiqian's troops exceeded 10,000!

Song Ji missed the best opportunity to kill him, that is, the last time Li Jilong launched heavy troops to attack Xixia. Why didn't Li Jiqian respond to the battle, thrown his old nest Yinzhou and run away? It was not that he was afraid of the Song Dynasty army at all, but because he had just swallowed the strength of his clan brother Li Jipang, and before he could digest it, he dared not take such a half-baked army to gamble. But two years later, Li Jipang was also captured by the Song army back to Kaifeng. Xixia Ji was Li Jiqian's own world...

This is why we have to send so much food and grass first. We must make it possible to send troops to Lingzhou for a while, and the Song Dynasty also needs to prepare. But who would have thought that Li Jiqian could continue to besiege Lingzhou and have spare energy to siege the city and fight aid?

On April 4, Zhao Guangyi ordered Li Jilong to be the head coach and Fan Tingzhao to be the deputy commander, and divided the troops from 10 states to attack Li Jiqian!

Li Jilong left Huanzhou, Fan Ting summoned Yanzhou, Wang Chao went out of Xiazhou, Ding Han went out of Qingzhou, and Zhang Shouen went out of Linzhou. The destination of this battle was determined before the war began - Wu and Baichi among the five states of Dingnan.

When fighting against the early Dangxiang people, what made the Han people most angry was not their combat effectiveness, but their war horses. Li Jiqian was erratic and moved around. He had achieved the classic guerrilla strategy of "the enemy comes, I retreat, and the enemy retreats, I advance" a thousand years ago. In a word, it was not impossible to defeat, but it was impossible to catch it. But this time it was different. The Song Dynasty's preparations were unprecedentedly excellent, and he actually found Li Jiqian's old nest in advance, at the Wu and Baichi. As long as he arrived, he would definitely find the enemy! This time the Song army dispatched an extremely large number of people. Historical records show that Li Jilong had 30,000 vanguard troops along the way, plus the original garrison of the Song Dynasty in the Western Xia Dynasty. What kind of strength is this? All signs indicate that Li Jiqian is doomed. Even if he became a mosquito of the Dangxiang desert card, the cannons sent by the Song Dynasty could fire all over the sky and bomb him...

In May, Zhang Yu's remaining troops, Wang Hemorrhei, rebelled again and claimed to be the King of Qiongnan. But this was the last aftermath and was extinguished in a blink of an eye... At this point, since February 993, the fire of the Shuchuan Uprising ignited by Wang Xiaobo was completely extinguished...

On July 28, the deputy governor Kou Zhun was dismissed from the rank of the minister and demoted him to Dengzhou as a local official. The matter started half a year ago. In the first month, His Majesty Taizong personally sacrificed to heaven and earth. According to the rules, the officials began to celebrate the festival. Each of them would be promoted one level, plus a large number of material rewards. This rule was so beautiful that it was remembered by officials at all levels, and in the years to come, the price increase was promoted. Until His Majesty Shenzong gritted his teeth, because he could no longer afford it.

But it didn't matter at this time. And the host of the reward this year was Kou Zhun. He was proud of himself and established the crown prince who was rare in a century. So he was full of energy and began to do whatever he wanted...

Rewards and punishments should be fair, which is the minimum rule. But Kou Zhun doesn't. Whoever I like will be promoted to a higher position. Whoever I annoys will be in trouble. As a result, Feng Zheng, who was disliked by Kou Zhun, was greater than Peng Weijie, whom Kou Zhun likes, and after being promoted, he was smaller than Peng Weijie.

This is not counting. In the Song Dynasty system, officials had to arrange the memorials to the emperor according to their official positions. You can't let the reports of subordinates be in front of the leaders, right? At this time, the problem arose. Since Peng Weijie has always been smaller than Feng Zheng, the person who handles memorials has a habit of attacking, and he still put Feng Zheng on top. In such a small matter, Kou Zhun actually used the power of the deputy prime minister who was the deputy prime minister of the political affairs department to post orders from the Political Affairs Hall to press Peng Weijie's memorials on Feng Zheng, and reported this matter to Zhao Guangyi, saying that Feng Zheng was too unruly.

As a result, Feng Zheng was called to scold him, but he didn't go into it further. But Feng Zheng was almost fainted. He was wronged!

When there was an injustice, he brought back Kou Zhun's personal revenge. And the chain reaction, Kou Zhun was promoted so quickly that someone had long been jealous. Kang Jian jumped out - Your Majesty, Kou Zhun is powerful and no one dared to take care of him. Lu Duan, Zhang Jue, and Li Changling were all introduced by Kou Zhun. Lu Duan was grateful to him. Zhang Jue was a rude flatterer, and Li Changling was a soft boy. They didn't dare to fight against Kou Zhun. That's why Kou Zhun dared to act recklessly and reverse the system.

Zhao Guangyi was furious when he heard this. He didn't look for Kou Zhun, and called Lu Duan and others to teach them a lesson and asked them what was going on. Li Changling and Zhang Shi were completely scared and could not say a word. Only Lu Duan calmly replied, "Kou Zhun is too strong and always likes to be the leader. I don't want to fight with him, that will hurt the national system." In fact, Kou Zhun's personality is more than just strong. He is more domineering than to say it seriously, and even I am the only one! And this sentence also clears himself and others. We give in not because he is our benefactor, but just don't want the dispute between ministers, which will delay national affairs. It dispels the most sensitive nerve in the hearts of the big bitch - we have never formed a party for personal gain...

Zhao Guangyi thought about it and said that you all retreated. Kou Zhun was told. But Kou Zhun never admits his mistakes and began to talk endlessly, judging the emperor one by one. Zhao Guangyi was helpless and warned that "if the court debates, he lost the body of ruling." It was to tell him that if you quarreled with the emperor in the hall, this was not what the prime minister should do, and it was too embarrassing! But it was useless. Back then, I dared to push you down and listen to me before letting you go. What's the big deal about saying a few more words to you? So I continued to argue. Zhao Guangyi sighed, "The birds and rats still know the people's wishes. What's more,"

The quarrel that day ended. Unexpectedly, Kou Zhun became even worse the next day and made a comeback. He moved various documents from the Secretariat into the hall: Master, didn’t you say I would deal with it injustice? Didn’t you say that you would suppress Feng Zheng’s bastard? OK! Check the accounts and see if there is any mistake...

Get out! Zhao Guangyi no longer had the heart to answer this unhuman boy, so he demoted Kou Zhun to Dengzhou. (To be continued)
