On the 21st, the Great Khitan awarded Li Jiqian the title of Shangshu Ling and sent Ding Zhen to celebrate his filial piety. On the 23rd, Li Deming paid tribute to the Great Khitan.

On the 29th, the salt, iron, branch and Ministry of Revenue separated from Zhao Guangyi's era were reorganized into one, and Kou Zhun was appointed as the envoy of the Three Divisions.

The war is coming, and there are continuous bad news in the Song Dynasty... On July 25, Zhao Heng's fifth brother Zhao Yuanjie passed away and was posthumously named King An.

On September 17, the seriously ill Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng, who had submitted a petition to retire seven times, was dismissed from prime minister. This old prime minister had indeed never done anything great in his life. He was not as powerful as Zhao Pu back then, and was a well-deserved leader of the ministers. But his qualifications, especially his strict and upright integrity, were enough to allow the stormy Song Dynasty to obtain a magic needle for the sea. If he suddenly collapsed, what would happen to Zhao Heng? What is more worried is that another prime minister, Li Heng, is about the same age as Lu Mengzheng. At this age, who can guarantee that he will be healthy forever?

On December 16, Tian Xi died. He was the toughest, most sharp and most courageous counselor of the Song Dynasty at that time. He was simply a perfect censor. He not only criticized others, but also made his own opinions on every wrong thing. He was definitely not like other "professional commentators", who only scolded others for nothing in his life, but did nothing himself. Opening the history books, he covered so widespread. Agriculture, business, military, politics, almost every department of the country.

In his control, he was just a censor after all, and he could only make suggestions but not make legal decisions, so his name did not appear in national affairs. This is a regret for middle-level cadres. Almost all of them do, but their names are not in the upper building, and the grassroots people do not recognize them. Especially in the long river of history, they are just pebbles at the bottom of the riverbed. Only at a certain moment, when the river water suddenly becomes clear, can we see them by chance. But they really should not be ignored...

On the 19th, Empress Li fell ill...

On January 10, the first year of Jingde (the 22nd year of Liao Tonghe, 1004), Zhao Heng made Liu E a beauty and the Yang family a talented man.

Liu E, an orphan girl in Chengdu, was forced to marry a silversmith named Gong Mei as a wife in her teenage years. Every day, Gong Mei walked around the streets to create silverware, and Liu E shook the rattle to attract customers. She was a small citizen living on the hunger line, and she was like an ant.

But the turning point of her fate was due to poverty. Gong Mei's business was not easy to do, so she decided to go to the north to try her luck. He wanted to leave Liu E alone, but Liu E smiled slightly, "I'm going with you, I don't know who will help anyone." So along the way, Liu E shook the drums and sang, barely survived, and walked into Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty with her husband. However, under the feet of the emperor, everything was ready. Why should a craftsman who could not make a living in remote mountainous areas take root here? It was so boring that Gong Mei made a decision that was impossible to comment - to sell Liu E!

You should despise him for shamelessness and misfortune! But the wheel of fate began to spin. Liu E ushered in the dawn of her life and began her legendary life.

At that time, Prince Xiang Zhao Yuankan (that is, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng) was like all the northern teenagers, dreaming of beauties in the southern country. He especially believed that Sichuan girls were the most ideal. Because they were "savvy" and were both understanding and able to manage their finances. History proved how right he said. Liu E was really such a person! Gong Mei sold Liu E to a Xiang Palace surnamed Zhang. This person had a unique vision and immediately handed over the beauty to Zhao Yuankan. God knows what kind of fate it was. Liu E and Zhao Yuankan had completely different backgrounds and had a very different level of education. But the two fell in love at first sight!

But Liu E was jealous in a flash. It was not the wife and concubine of Prince Xiang, the first one to jump out was King Xiang's wet nurse. The old lady exposed this to Zhao Yuankan's father Zhao Guangyi. She said that King Xiang was not doing his job properly and even his body was damaged by this Sichuan girl... The big bitch was furious and ordered his son to drive Liu E out of the palace immediately and never be allowed to interact. As a result, Liu E could only leave the palace in disgrace and quietly hid in the house of Zhang Jiashi. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Jiashi had been in the palace of Xiang Wang from that day and never went home. From then on, Liu E was lucky in disguise, and made great progress in both her love relationship with Zhao Heng and her personal knowledge and cultivation...

When talking about love, it is good to not get it, and only when there is distance, there is beauty. Zhao Yuankan had to secretly walk to Liu E every day, and he had to be careful at all times, come and leave early. What kind of urgency and privacy pleasure is that? Speaking of knowledge, Zhang Jiashishi was the famous Zhang Qi who later fought with the Liao army on the battlefield. He was a good man with both civil and military affairs. His family collected quite a lot of books. Liu E traveled around the sea of ​​books every day, not only learned to recite poems and write pairs, but more importantly, she read a lot of books. Beauty and knowledge, plus the hardships that struggled from the lower class society, made her look comprehensive and became the Northern Song version of Wu Zetian in the future!

On 11, 18, 22, Kaifeng City had three consecutive earthquakes...

On February 3, the news of Li Jiqian's death reached the Song Dynasty. What attitude should we take towards his orphan Li Deming? The emperor and his ministers of the Song Dynasty held a long meeting, and the decision made was to continue to give preferential treatment...

On March 15, Empress Dowager Li passed away. I guess he really forgot what his dear "mother" had done on the night his father died. Emperor Zhenzong of Song showed great grief. He had to wait for Li Feng and other ministers to submit repeated statements that the northwest was using troops and asked the emperor to go to court to govern the government. The emperor reluctantly agreed...

At this time, the northwest was indeed so chaotic that it was incomprehensible. In June, Li Deming, who raided Xiliang Prefecture and killed Pan Luozhi, claimed his revenge for killing his father. Xiliang Prefecture changed Dangxiang people to be the master a year later...

How did Pan Luozhi die? As the leader of the Liugu tribe of Tubo, he must unite all united forces. So the nightmare came...

The Dragon tribe, another strong tribe in Tubo, and one of the main allies of Panluo Branch, played a huge role in the siege of Li Jiqian, which also left a deep impression on the Dangxiang people. So after Panluo Branch regained Xiliang City, some Dangxiang people who ran slower surrendered to them. Specifically, they were infatuated, two Dangxiang tribes in Jiluodan. Due to their selfish intentions, the Dragon tribe did not report this to Panluo Branch.

On this day, Pan Luozhi was sitting in Xiliang City thinking about his thoughts... He didn't finish his thoughts, but suddenly someone reported: The Dragon Clan was besieged by the Dangxiang people, which was very critical!

Without saying a word, Pan Luozhi jumped onto the horse and ran to the Dragon Clan's camp... As a result, he arrived, and the Dragon Clan was in chaos. Outside was Li Deming's army, inside was a mysterious intent, the inner responders of the two small tribes of Dangxiang... Pan Luozhi died... Xiliang Prefecture's surname was Li again...

Li Deming, a 24-year-old Dangxiang boy, proudly shows to the world: The real master of fraud is here! I am the son of Li Jiqian, the great and cunning Dangxiang king! No one can take anything away from me!

When the news came, the Great Khitan was overjoyed. On July 2, he sent an envoy to confer the title of the "grandson" as King of Xiping! The Song Dynasty was a little depressed... He could only appoint Pan Luozhi's younger brother Si Duo Du as the leader of the Liugu tribe and the governor of Shuofang.

One moment, Li Jiqian reached the pinnacle, and Pan Luozhi suddenly became defeated. Suddenly, Li Jiqian died, and Pan Luozhi said goodbye to the world again... A series of fraudulent surrenders and fraudulent surrenders... Now it's finally over. Afterwards, what losses did the Song Dynasty have? Annoyance is inevitable. So many precious and god-given opportunities slip away in vain. As long as you seize it once, the situation in the Song Dynasty will be very different in the future! But there is no if! What's even more angry is that these opportunities always deform instantly. You just glad that you were not impulsive, but you were so regretful that why you were not impulsive... After a few rounds, what kind of psychological qualities do you have to not be crazy about your fate?

But as long as you calm down, you will find that the Song Dynasty was still lucky. You did nothing, just wasted a few taels of gold and a few pieces of brocade, and sent Pan Luo the seals, official notices, clothes, equipment and other honorary materials, and then you will destroy Li Jiqian. And let the Tubo people who had no connections thousands of miles away automatically go to Beijing to find their master... What a success!

This is the strongest combat strategy of the Han people. They use barbarians to control barbarians, divide and separate, and enjoy their success. I don’t know how many such successful cases have existed since ancient times. But this time during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song was very successful. The only regret is that the scale is smaller and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. The Khitans were still unscathed, and the Song Dynasty had to continue fighting. But they were fighting on a single line...

On the 4th, Li Heng, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, passed away. He was very sick and bedridden overnight. Zhao Heng immediately went to visit him, and everything was still normal when he left. When the emperor returned to the palace gate, the bad news of Li Heng's death suddenly came. The emperor cried bitterly and ordered him to return immediately and go to Li Heng's spirit to express his grief.

Li Han, he has become a mythical figure in the history of the Song Dynasty. He can clearly see the future of all things in the world and the top figures among the Han people, and summarize it in his "Sage Quotations". History proves that it is 100% accurate!

But Li Heng's greatest achievement is that he fulfilled the greatest responsibility of a prime minister, "Conquer the country and pacify the people." This year's year's year name is Jingde, and before that year the year name was Xianping. There is an extremely shocking fact hidden here!

The Han Dynasty had the rule of Wenjing, the Tang Dynasty had the prosperous period of Kaiyuan, the Ming Dynasty had the prosperous period of Renxuan, and the Qing Dynasty had the prosperous period of Kangxi and Qianlong. If the Song Dynasty was not known for its prosperity and well-being, wouldn’t it be too bad to be history? There was only one of the rule of Xianping. Zhao Heng and Li Feng, the king and ministers, were in the country left by the great bitch, fought with Dangxiang and Khitan every year, and even the Sichuan rebellion, which actually increased the national strength, economic recovery, and cultural prosperity, and population was twice as long as possible! So soon after, he didn’t even care about the protection fee of 3 million yuan a year. Later, he started playing Fengshan and began to squander, spending countless money, which made future scholars curse at him, but I think Zhao Heng is qualified to respond, "Shut up! That's all earned by myself! I spend whatever I want."

But at this time, Zhao Heng's primary task was to choose the prime minister for himself and the huge empire. Let's take a look at what people are in his two prefectures now: the deputy minister of the Secretariat of the East Prefecture: Wang Dan, Wang Qinruo; the Privy Council of the West Prefecture: Wang Jiying, Chen Yaosou, Feng Zheng; the envoy of the Three Divisions: Kou Zhun...

None of them can do! In the end, the emperor's eyes remained on the person named Bi Shi'an. For example, his characteristics were only two words - benevolence, vain and ethereal, and could be as heavy as a mountain. It is no exaggeration to say that from ancient times to the present, if there were no these two words, the greater the ability, the more harmful it would be to the world.

On the 8th, Bi Shi'an was appointed as the governor of the government. On the same day, the emperor and Deputy Prime Minister Bi had a dialogue recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty:

Zhao "There are many things in the world, and you also need an assistant. Who can do it?" Bi "Kou Zhun is loyal and righteous, good at severing major affairs. He is the real candidate for the prime minister." Zhao "Kou Zhun is strong and willful, and cannot convince the public." Bi "Kou Zhun forgets to be a country and gets rid of evil, so he is not favored by the customs. But now the north has not been convinced, this is the opportunity for Kou Zhun to display his talents." Zhao nodded and said, "You are right. You should 'borrow me to sude to you and keep your life in peace'."

On August 7, Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an served as prime minister of the Song Dynasty at the same time, but Bi Shi'an also compiled the history of the country (the privilege of the prime minister). Wang Jiying was appointed as the Privy Councilor, Chen Yaosou and Feng Zheng were appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor.

Kou Zhun took office. Such a famous talent was forced by the emperor to be under an unknown Hanlin scholar. He solemnly declared that he wanted him to "shoude" to "shoude" and this is too bullying, right? But in a blink of an eye, Kou Zhun's retribution came. Who made him so arrogant? He was sued as soon as he became prime minister. The charge was enough to make him raid his family and exterminate his clan: colluding with King An Zhao Yuanjie!

Kou Zhun was immediately shocked. Do you remember how Zhao Tingmei died and how Lu Duosun fell? He and Zhao Yuanjie were reprinted at this time! And the most terrifying thing is that this kind of thing cannot be justified, and the more you describe it, the darker it becomes. Even if the emperor let you go, the worst impression has been remembered. This life is completely over!

At this moment, Bi Shi'an's kindness began to shine. A loyal elder could not only untie the invisible shackles, but also save the nations and empires on the brink of collapse. History proves that without him, there would be no Kou Zhun, and there would be no peace in the next century...

It was not his business, but Bi Shi'an took the initiative to take it. Later, with his not-so-sovereign qualifications and even more solemn holy family, he began to protect Kou Zhun!

Just look at the case a little bit and you will know what risks he is taking...

The person who sued Kou Zhun and Zhao Yuanjie for collusion with rebellion was actually a commoner Shen Zonggu. A weird person? Is it strange that an ordinary citizen can actually know the most private secrets between the prime minister and the prince of the dynasty? But what's even more bizarre is that this matter was officially filed and uploaded to the central government. It would be strange if there was no inside story! Mr. Shen had to be behind him without a big guy to stand up to see the ghost... Everyone could see such obvious official activities, and everyone hid back... No matter what, this proves that Kou Zhun was unpopular. As long as he became the prime minister, there would always be someone causing trouble and the emperor would have to dismiss him. It was that simple, and whoever dared to stand with Kou Zhun would immediately become the mortal enemy of these people, causing trouble for nothing, and severing his own way of living.

But don't forget that Bi Shi'an was also the prefect of Kaifeng. He understood how to investigate the case. Don't think that benevolence represents weakness. Bi Shi'an's method was fierce and neat. The first step was to throw Shen Zonggu into a prison and interrogate him strictly. He didn't know the method, but "specific treacherous" means to get all the inside story. He did not pursue the case and reported it to the emperor directly. Then the next step was to cut off the brave and arrogant people who liked to be used as guns!

I know the matter, but I also killed the witness. How about it? I have saved you face and cut off the root of disaster for you. If I don’t know the truth, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
