On July 3, Wang Zeng became a regular official and began his journey of fame and prime minister. Lu Yijian and Lu Zongdao became the chief officials. On the 8th, Qian Weiyan, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, also became a regular official.

At this time, the scandals of Ding Wei and the witch Liu Demiao's family were also revealed. His fate had become a toy for Feng Zheng and others to laugh and joke, and he could do whatever he was happy.

Feng Zheng took the pen and thought about it, and said to Lu Zongdao beside him, "Brother Yutou (Lu Zongdao is known as Yutou's participation in politics, describing his integrity) Do you still remember how He Xiang (Ding Wei's other name. In the auspicious incident that year, he always used cranes to talk about things) to demote Kou Zhun?" Well? Lu Zongdao was very interested and listened to the following text "He said to me at a certain time, 'When he wanted to go to the cliff, how about rushing to the cliff, and then rushing to the whale wave again' he wanted to demote Kou Zhun directly overseas, just like Lu Duoxun back then." At this time, it was Feng Zheng's turn to write Ding Wei's derogatory letter. He was really hesitant! Where did he ask Ding Wei to go? But when he picked up the pen, he wrote it in two words, and he changed the nodding around him and nodding and admiring: Yazhou!

"Now, the 'Zhou Gong' is temporarily released to visit the whale waves." Feng Zheng threw his pen, which was very satisfying. On July 23, it was Song Shou. Five months ago, he followed Ding Wei's will to Kou Zhun, Li Di wrote the derogatory system, and now he followed Feng Zheng's will to write the derogatory system for Ding Wei... Yazhou is farther than Leizhou, and Ding Wei embarked on the same route that Kou Zhun took not long ago. He sat in the emperor's hall in the morning and became a Yanxiake in the evening. There were still many things waiting for him during the journey of thousands of miles. However, any high-level decision in Kaifeng City had completely lost his fate and would never meet again in this life...

Ding Wei fell, and countless people were frightened because they had a ghost in their hearts. During the period when Ding Wei was in charge of the court, how many people had expressed their loyalty and handed over the rules? These things were hidden in Ding Wei's mansion. As long as Liu E was willing, these people would label Ding Wei's party as a member of the party and travel to Hainan together.

But on the 24th, Liu E issued a decree at the first time, "If there are Chinese and foreign ministers who have communicated with Ding Wei, they will not ask about anything." He sent the Censor Fang Jinyan to enter the Ding Mansion. In front of everyone, he burned all the letters copied out in a fire... In this way, Liu E walked onto the historical stage of the Song Dynasty with such a face...

Speaking of which, there are a few things in the inheritance that Liu E has never seen before. It is basically impossible to tell whether it is a product of the human world or a Martian thing. That is, Zhao Heng, the "Shistorical Book" invited by Zhao Heng, died after spending countless national strength in the Song Dynasty. What should I do if I do? Generally speaking, I have to inherit it and even sacred worship. In the important areas of the Song Dynasty, there are also treasures of Zhao Heng's father Zhao Guangyi, and they don't even throw away those things, let alone the legal documents that grant the great Song Dynasty legality and long-term protection? But Liu E ordered on September 12: All the heavenly books accompany the husband of the late emperor to the large tomb of Luoyang! The things in the sky should not be found in the world. Whoever invites them will take them away, and I will not serve you!

In this way, although I was a little more fierce to my old husband, the people believed that they all breathed a sigh of relief: Alas... It seems that gods also die, and feudal superstitious activities finally don't need to be done anymore. As a result, a lot of resentment that has been accumulated in China has been washed away. A new life is about to begin...

On October 13, Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng was finally buried in Yongdingling Mausoleum, and Empress Dowager Liu cried. She faced all the ministers and thanked her very sincerely: The country is in troubles and external troubles. If everyone had not worked together, how could the matter be done so properly? Now that the funeral of the late emperor has been done, let me report the list of each of you descendants and relatives, and I will give you a great reward.

These ministers who were well-fed by Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Heng and his son, who were well-off, immediately looked green, so they went home to check the family tree, carefully filled out the names of their descendants, relatives, and even their friends, and sent them to the empress dowager, and began a hopeful wait... However, in the long years later, they were extremely depressed to find that no one had ever given the names given by Liu E, and were pressed to the bottom... Because the lists were painted into figures by Liu E and posted on the wall next to her curtains. Whenever a minister wanted to recommend someone to be an official, she would tilt her head and take a look. Only when there was no one on it would she approve...

Why did Liu E do this? The reason is that her husband is so nice to his ministers. Zhao Heng respects the gods and considers his ministers, and spends money to numbness. In the end, even Ding Wei, who once promised that he had "excessive plans", was afraid and privately warned that if he played like this, the country's economy would collapse. But Zhao Heng in turn comforted Ding Wei: Don't be afraid! As long as we don't spend money randomly and be cautious, we will not reach that stage... But what is the standard of "not being random" and "careful"? Now in Liu E's position, can we continue to reward, or even reward more? Moreover, through Ding Wei's affairs, Liu E also saw clearly: what is the use of a confidant, a party? If you should be rebelled, you will still be rebelled. So "gratitude" is not useful, and what you need now is power!

The matter is not over yet, and Liu E is completely shocking. On November 1, Liu E drove the Privy Councilor and Liu Mei's brother-in-law Qian Weiyan out of the capital to be the governor of the Guardian of Heyang. This is her only "family family member" left (Liu E's ex-husband Gong Mei is Liu Mei, who died half a year earlier than Zhao Heng)

Looking through historical books, no matter which dynasty, the heroine Linguo wanted to gain a foothold, there was only one way, that was, she had a tough family to support her. For example, the great empress dowagers of the Han Dynasty. Even if they were tough, Wu Zetian, they would have used Lv Chan, Lu Lu, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and others a lot. In fact, there was only one exception except Liu E - Cixi.

This incident is not surprising in the political history of the Song Dynasty, but it is unique in the cultural history. Qian Weiyan was an elegant person. The descendants of Wu Yue in Qiantang were elegant and elegant, with a high taste and insightful artist atmosphere. Taking this as an opportunity, when he became the left-behind Xijing a few years later, the first batch of brilliant scholars of the Song Dynasty gathered around him, among which Ouyang Xiu, the first literary master in the Song Dynasty...

On the 14th, Liu E accepted the suggestion of the Imperial College Sun Xie and set up school fields in various states, so that those prodigal sons would not have to worry about food and clothing from now on, and would only focus on reading the books of sages.

In December, Feng Zheng was appointed as the Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan, supervising the National History, and Wang Zeng was appointed as the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall. After that, the Song Dynasty had a system: the Prime Minister must add Zhaowen, supervising the National History, and the Prime Minister must add Jixian.

On the 6th, King Xun of Goryeo, who had fought with the Great Khitan for more than 10 years, passed away. Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao Shengzong sent an envoy to enthrone his son Wang Qin as King of Goryeo.

This year, Dangxiang Li Deming sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty, asking the envoys from the Dashi Kingdom (now the Arab region) to come to the Song Dynasty for tribute. The intention was self-evident, and the Dangxiang people would not have anything else except to rob them. The Song court of the Song Dynasty refused. But Li Deming ignored it and privately blocked the main road of the land Silk Road that the Dashi Kingdom came to tribute, forcing everyone to change their sea routes. The Maritime Silk Road was opened up like this. With the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road, the Song Dynasty was about to usher in the prosperous era of Renzong...

The year of 1022 has finally passed. At the beginning of the new year of 1023, everything has been renewed and Liu E further consolidated her position. In order to legalize and let everyone in the world know, she decided to change the era.

Looking back at the Song Dynasty, it is very particular. Each one truly reflects the deepest wish of the monarch at that time. For example, the first year of Zhao Kuangyin founded the country was called "Jianlong", which means grand and broad construction. The second "Gande" is masculine and great morality. When Zhao Guangyi called "Taiping Xingguo", he wanted to peacefully conquer the world, both peaceful and prosperous. Zhao Heng's "Xianping" was a desire for peace. His father left too many bad things, please be quiet for a while. "The Zhongxiang Talisman" is more appropriate. You can see at a glance that he wants to worship God and ask for a sign to live. Therefore, the year name is not only a verbal color, but also an advertisement. A few simple and specific words can immediately make the subjects all over the world understand the national policy and people's sentiments at that time. And ancient people believed this. The year name, like a person's name, will seriously affect the fate of an era and an emperor. This is really fulfilled later. For example, the Emperor Qinzong of the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated by the year name...

Go back to the topic. The Empress Dowager's wish is the task of the Hanlin Academy. All the bachelors were busy with their brains and thoughts, and finally came up with two words. Their high level could challenge all literati for thousands of years. There was no more appropriate thing: Tian Sheng! Tian Ke's word "Two Rens". Tian Sheng is "Two Rens" and it was clearly announced that at this time, there were two days of the Song Dynasty, and the people had two masters. Everyone must understand, among the two people sitting behind the curtains in the court, who was in charge: Liu E!

On January 8, the first year of Tiansheng (1023), Empress Dowager Liu ordered the reduction of redundant fees. On the 22nd, a new institution was established - Zhang Shixun, Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, was appointed as the deputy magistrate of the Privy Council, Lu Yijian, and three senior officials of the two prefectures, presided over the reform of the tea law. In April, he was dismissed from the Etiquette Academy. On June 6, "Xue Chuyou" Xue Kuiquan was appointed to govern the Kaifeng Prefecture. On June 16, because the late emperor Yongdingling Mausoleum occupied 18 hectares of land, he specially gave one million yuan to repay it. On July 20, the world was pardoned for debts... the internal and external government affairs were completely renewed.

Liu E was very lucky next time. Those old guys who followed the family rules of his ancestors, lay on the credit book and said they could not kill anything and died naturally.

The first one is the first prime minister of the Tiansheng Dynasty: Feng Zheng. At the end of August, he fell seriously ill. On September 5, he was allowed to go to Henan Prefecture to retire. But he was so sick that he could not leave Beijing. He died in the capital on September 8.

The day before Feng Zheng died of illness, on September 7, another one that has been sung for thousands of years in later generations and has been passed down forever, becoming a legendary myth. Kou Zhun, the symbol of the peak of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, died of illness in Leizhou. At this time, it was 43 years since he passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom. It was 28 years after he fought for the title of crown prince for Zhao Heng. The Chanyuan Alliance, which carried out a hundred years of peace in the Song and Liao dynasties, was even more a thing 19 years ago... The glory of his life has been sealed in the long river of history and was forgotten by the monarchs and ministers during the Taiping period. Perhaps for them, the truly meaningful number is this: it was only more than 19 months after Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou...

Is this a murder? The purpose was achieved, and all the responsibilities could be attributed to the treacherous minister Ding Wei. But did Liu E have nothing to do? No matter how arrogant Ding Wei was at that time, as long as she had a slight objection, can't Hengzhou, like Li Di, be given to Kou Zhun? But Kou Zhun didn't care. After he arrived in Leizhou, the local officials sent him the local treasury. The home page reads that the southeast gate of Leizhou is ten miles away from the coast. Kou Zhun said softly, "I wrote poems when I was young." 'It's only ten miles to the sea, and the mountains should be crossed by thousands of miles' Today, everything will be decided..." But I think the poem he wrote when he climbed Mount Hua was the real prophecy of his life. "Only the sky is above, and there is no mountain or equality. The red sun is approaching, and the white clouds are low." In this life, Kou Zhun only had the "heaven" that is the emperor, which could be higher than his reputation. Other "mountains" that are ministers cannot surpass his sharpness. When he "up" and get close to the "red sun" (emperor), he can be freehand. But once he is stubborn and stubborn, he can only look down on the white clouds, and the evening scene is desolate...

But Kou Zhun should have no regrets when he died. He has made contributions to the country and benefited the people. Even political enemies are no longer concerned. Among them are Ding Wei, who killed him. Ding Wei passed by Leizhou (now Hainan Island) when he was demoted to Yazhou (now Hainan Island). It is said that Kou Zhun gave him a steamed sheep. Ding Wei was mixed with emotion and proposed to talk to him. In Ding's opinion, Kou Zhun would agree. Now we are both people who have fallen into the world and have a common language. But Kou Zhun refused: I can send you steamed sheep, but it does not mean that you and I can meet each other and forget their grudges. The two of them did not meet that day, so they will part forever. Kou Zhun's last wish for Ding Wei was: to keep all his servants in the door. It was not until Ding Wei walked away that he let them out.

At the same time, history can prove that Kou Zhun really left without any worries. He was like a legendary monk who knew when he would leave...

Apart from thousands of mountains and rivers, Kou Zhun suddenly ordered his family to return to his hometown in Luoyang to get something for him. It was the Tongtian rhinoceros horn belt given to him by Emperor Taizong back then. There were only two in the country in the Song Dynasty. So Kou Zhun waited... Finally, the rhinoceros horn was brought, he took a bath and changed his clothes, and dressed neatly. He knelt down to the emperor and his ancestors in the north, and then he lay down and passed away safely...

A legend ended here, but it was difficult to make a final conclusion. Some people say that he was Patton of the Song Dynasty. Priceless treasures during the First War and garbage poison during the peace period. The basis is that after the Chanyuan Alliance, he and the emperor, the queen, and his colleagues were in the same situation and could not cooperate at all. Therefore, there was no way to talk about their contribution to the country and the people...

But at that time, which of the monarchs and ministers, including Wang Dan, could turn the situation around and bring the Song Dynasty on a normal development track? Why did Kou Zhun cooperate with them? So, behind Kou Zhun's non-cooperation, was the sadness of that era. Therefore, the later act of establishing the crown prince, abolishing the queen, demoting the treacherous ministers, and letting Zhao Heng become the emperor, so that the Song Dynasty can revive. But "If the minister is not secret, he will lose his virginity." The official history made this evaluation for Kou Zhun is correct. He made a conspiracy and a coup, but leaked news, and there is naturally nothing to say about failure. But the official history did not judge that he was a treacherous minister because of this...

The fallen leaves return to their roots. So what about Kou Zhun? Was it buried in Leizhou on the spot?

After Mrs. Kou Zhun and Empress Song's sister returned to Kaifeng to ask for help, Empress Liu gave her mercy and took out the special funds to transport Kou Zhun's coffin to the north. But what's ridiculous is that the amount of the special funds was accurately calculated and only enough to reach... Luoyang!
