On the 18th, Yan Shu, deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, was dismissed because he had opposed Zhang Qi as the Privy Councillor, and violated the order of the Empress Dowager. However, the Song Dynasty's historical evaluation of Yan Shu's dismissal this time was very high, because there was a saying that "Since the Five Dynasties, schools in the world have been abolished. The development of learning began from Shu." On the 27th, Xia Shu took over as deputy envoy of Privy Councillor.

On May 24, Zhao Guangyi's eldest son, the noble "prince" who was willing to go crazy but not take over the throne of the throne stained with the blood of his relatives, Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Chu, passed away.

On June 24, whoever commits evil will be punished. Yelu Longxu once again sent Xiao Hui to fight against the rebellion of Bu.

On October 26, something worthy of a special book in the history of traditional Chinese medicine was made. Wang Weiyi, the imperial physician of the Great Song Dynasty Medical Officer, cast two bronze acupoints and issued the "Bronze Man Acupuncture Picture Classic". One was stored in the Medical Officer, and one was stored in the Great Song Dynasty Xiangguo Temple. In the future, anyone who wanted to learn acupuncture, acupoint massage, and even acupoint adjustment martial arts can practice it as a model. Mr. Liang Yusheng repeatedly mentioned this bronze acupoint in his several martial arts novels set in the Song Dynasty, calling him a treasure that martial arts masters and Xinglin nationalists dreamed of. The Song, Jin, Meng and other forces were fighting for endlessly.

On February 17, the second prime minister of the Song Dynasty (1028), Zhang Zhibai, the second prime minister of the Song Dynasty, died. Someone was required to take over. Prime Minister Wang once recommended the general manager Lu Yijian, and the Privy Councilor Cao Yong recommended the Minister of Rites Zhang Shixun. Empress Dowager Liu originally intended to use the name Zhang Shixun, who was above the emperor. The king once said that he would be more talented than rank. After Liu E accepted this suggestion, he wanted to appoint Lu Yijian. Unexpectedly, after Lu Yijian heard the news, he took the initiative to surrender. So on March 17, Zhang Shixun was appointed as prime minister. On the 18th, Jiang Zun was appointed deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor. On the 24th, Fan Yong was appointed deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor.

On the 13th, Liu E went to her ex-husband, nominally the home of her brother Liu Mei. The censor Liu Sui immediately submitted a petition to persuade her. The empress dowager accepted the advice and never went there again.

On May 1, Jiaozhi invaded the border. Jiao Shoujie, the governor of Yongzhou, sent people to Jiaozhi to explain the pros and cons. Li Gongyun, the founding ancestor of the Li Dynasty, immediately expressed his apology.

In May, 26-year-old Li Yuanhao ushered in his first formation. He rushed to Ganzhou for thousands of miles, and left the Khan and fled to the city. The Ganzhou Uighurs were destroyed. The good news came, and Li Deming could not handle the Ganzhou Uighurs, who had been unable to handle for more than 20 years, was completely destroyed by his son who was reincarnated by gods and demons! What was the father's thought? In order to reward his son for his outstanding military achievements this time, Li Deming gave his son the highest reward - to make Li Yuanhao the crown prince of the Xia king.

In June, Chai Su, the grandson of Chai Gui, the younger brother of Chai Shizong, submitted a letter to seek an official position. Song Renzong lamented that "Chai Shizong opened up the world and established the foundation of our Song Dynasty, how could he be ungrateful?" So he ordered Chai Su to serve as a rank of three squads.

In September, the tribes were pacified in sequence. The ministers surrendered to the Great Khitan one after another.

Time entered the 7th year of Tiansheng (1029). This is the watershed of Taoism. From the beginning to the end, it is full of struggles, demotion, fire and death. Famous ministers and virtuous ministers withered one by one, and the vitality of the Song Dynasty was greatly damaged.

The first person: On January 13, the Privy Councilor Cao Yong was dismissed from office. Let’s see what he had committed: his nephew Cao Yin was rampant in Zhaozhou. His worst behavior was to wear yellow clothes. After getting drunk, he ran to the street and ordered everyone to shout long live to him and bow to him. After investigation, Cao Yin admitted that this was done by his uncle Cao Yong.

Who tried this case? Empress Dowager Liu's personal eunuch Luo Chongxun, Cao Yi's mortal enemy. But to be fair, now the entire palace is Cao Yi's mortal enemy.

After the last battle with the prime ministers of the East Prefecture, Cao Yong began to torture the empress dowager again.

According to the history of the Song Dynasty, Cao Yong was the oldest and most prestigious super important minister at the time of the Song Dynasty. His status was so respectful that even Liu E didn't call him directly, but called him "Shizhong". His Song Dynasty specifically emphasized that he always called this. What about Cao Yong's reaction? When he responded to the empress dowager in front of the curtain, he tapped his fingers while talking. Think about it, it was a crime to sneeze in the court, so how can the performance art of Master Cao calculate? He did whatever he wanted outside the curtain and didn't know anything about it. An eunuch pointed outside the curtain and said softly, "When the late emperor was there, how dare Cao Yong be so rude?" Liu E looked at it silently, nodded, and said nothing.

Next, Cao Yong began to "play" with the eunuchs. Everyone has desires, and the same goes for eunuchs. Because everyone knows, the eunuchs' main habit is money (except for a few eunuchs who love power). Unfortunately, the rules of the Song Dynasty were too strict. Even if Liu E wanted to send money to, everyone had to be approved by n procedures. Among them, Wang Zeng, the leader of the East Prefecture, and Cao Yong, the leader of the West Prefecture, was naturally indispensable.

At this time, some small differences appeared. Whenever the notes sent by Liu E were randomly promoted and paid money, they basically did not approve them and would be rejected. Among them, Wang Zeng was 100% undiscussed. In the end, Liu E was forced to make small moves. Taking advantage of Wang Zeng's sick leave, the Secretariat urgently ordered the Secretariat to sign the edict of her ex-husband Liu Mei's son-in-law Ma Jiliang.

Cao Yong had a iron face and met the white strips, but gradually the eunuchs discovered a little secret. Even if the strips were rejected and sent to them, Cao Yong would be kind and occasionally criticized them once or twice.

The eunuchs quietly said to Liu E: Please ask the empress dowager to see a little trick. So they sent Baitiao to the Privy Council as usual, but Cao Yong kicked out as usual. After waiting for a day or two before sending it, a miracle happened. Cao Yong criticized it.

Liu E was very surprised. So the eunuchs began to brag: Empress Dowager, do you know why Prince Cao criticized again? We walked through the back door and went to his mansion to ask Mrs. Cao, and the matter was done... Liu E was furious! Cao used his image to destroy it.

But Cao Yi himself was still in the dark and was still playing with the eunuchs. Once, the eunuch Luo Chongxun committed a crime, and Liu E ordered him to be sent to Cao Yi and asked the Master Shi Zhong to teach him a lesson. So he took off the eunuch Luo's crown scarf and scolded him.

On some occasions, Cao Yong could even be on par with the emperor. Every spring, a flower-watching and fishing banquet was held in the inner courtyard of the Song Dynasty's palace, and the king and his ministers had a fun together. The rule was that if the emperor had not caught fish, even if the ministers had fish, they would not be able to raise the rod even if they got the fish. When the emperor raised the rod, the eunuchs took the fish with red silk nets, and then the ministers would be free of everything and they would get up as soon as they caught it.

But this time, after the young emperor Zhao Zhen raised the rod, a certain scholar was about to raise the rod. Suddenly someone shouted behind him, "The servant has not got the fish, and the scholar has not got the rod." So everyone had to wait. Cao was content with his leisure and contentment. After a long time, he finally caught the fish. When he saw that the eunuchs were also using red wire mesh to raise them.

The above is the history of the Song Dynasty, and all the big and small events were recorded. The central idea was: Cao used himself to seek death. No matter how the court treated him, he deserved it!

So his nephew's little act of drinking and causing trouble made him lose his official position and exiled. On February 14, Cao Yong was demoted to Fangzhou, the most classic and famous exile place in the Song Dynasty. Who is the most dangerous and sensitive person in the Song Dynasty will be thrown there. For example, Chai Zongxun, Zhao Tingmei, Cao Yong was worse than them. He did not arrive in Fangzhou alive and committed suicide on the way. Who asked the eunuch Luo Chongxun to investigate his case, and the eunuch Yang Huaimin who was escorted him? Song Shi gave the official evaluation of "the world is wronged" in his biography.

Before Cao Yi committed suicide, two top officials had accidents one after another.

Second place: On February 1, the assistant minister Lu Zongdao died of illness. This really caused Liu E to be in great trouble.

One day, Liu E suddenly asked Lu Zong, "My dear, what kind of person do you think Empress Wu of Tang is?" Wu Zetian should be Liu E's idol. And now she is so similar to Wu Zetian before she became emperor. Her husband died of illness and premature death, and she participated in political affairs before she died. Her son was too young and she had great power. Since that is the case, why can't she replicate the glory of a woman?

But the reason why His Majesty Wu Zhao of Tang successfully usurped the throne was that he had a large number of loyal followers: Li Shiji, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Di Renjie... So who is her Liu E? This sentence is a naked hint: I want to be the Queen of War. May I ask Lu’s political participation, do you want to be Xu Jingzong?

Unexpectedly, Lu Zongdao coldly replied, "Empress Wu is a sinner of the Tang Dynasty, and he is almost in danger of the country." Liu E suddenly remained silent. She didn't understand what benefits her deceased husband, lame father-in-law, and his dying uncle gave these people? She worked hard for the Song Dynasty for more than 10 years, but she still couldn't keep them well!

But there is no hurry. Suddenly, a local minister named Fang Zhonggong wrote to the court and proposed to build seven ancestor temples for the Empress Dowager Liu! This was the fatal blow that truly threatened the Zhao Song Dynasty!

Building seven temples was the first thing Wu Zetian did after becoming emperor. Then Wu Zetian changed the deposed emperor and his son Li Dan's surname to Wu. Now the question arises: What should the little emperor Zhao Zhen do after building seven temples of Liu? It's called Liu Zhen?

Liu E doesn't care about these. Child, it doesn't matter what your surname is, what's important is that I love you forever... She directly asked the ministers in the court: What do you think of establishing the seventh temple of the Liu family?

Wang Zeng didn't speak, and Cao Yu shut up. In the face of danger, Lu Zongdao stood up and asked, "Build the seven temples of Liu family, what is the heir?" How did you release your 'son'? Is the world still from the Zhao family? Is Zhao Zhen still the emperor?

History: Liu E was silent again that day, and then everyone scattered. Everyone went back to their houses to find their mother... To be honest, I was confused. What does Liu E mean? There is no swordsman outside, so you want all the ministers to surrender? Even Lu Zongdao jumped out to oppose it, but none of the Liu clan's accomplices followed and fought back. Is this going to usurp the Zhao clan's country?

Another time, members of the royal family went to Cixiao Temple to burn incense. Liu E once again proposed to let her Da'an chariot walk before the emperor's jade chariot. The Da'an chariot is very big, not much worse than the jade chariot. In addition, Liu E is also wearing vermilion red. Let me ask the people of the Song Dynasty 150 meters apart (the total length of Yu Street in Kaifeng City in Song Dynasty is nearly 8 miles and more than 200 steps wide. Converted to today's unit, Yu Street is about 300 meters wide). How can we see clearly which emperor and which queen mother is? Who are they going to cheer to?

It was Lu Zongdao who stood up and asked the Queen Mother, do you know you are a woman? You know that you have a very poor background, but Confucius said that "Women have three followers: to follow their father at home, to follow their husbands, and to follow their sons after their husbands' death." Liu E had to obediently abide by the rules and let the Da'anyan walk behind Yu Lu.

The above is the last deed left by Lu Zongdao to this world, but now he is dead...

Third place: On February 7, the second prime minister Zhang Shixun was dismissed from office because of Cao's use case. The general secretary Lu Yijian successfully took the lead by retreating to advance. On the 8th, Xia Shu and Xue Kui were appointed as the general secretary, and Chen Yaozuo was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor.

Fourth: On June 26, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Wang Zeng, dismissed his prime minister. The reason was very spoof, it turned out to be "God's will"

On the 19th, the entire Kaifeng City was filled with heavy rainstorms, and lightning was thunder. The super palace, which had "never been seen since its opening", poured over the whole country of Song Dynasty. It was constructed day and night, regardless of costs, and the "Yuqing Zhaoying Palace" created after several years was suddenly hit by lightning. The 3,610 palaces, together with the copy of the "Shistoric Book" stored inside, were burned with fire. In the end, only two small halls were left, and the rest were all burned to ashes.

This is an authentic natural disaster, but under the "harmony of man and nature" theory that China has believed since ancient times, the prime minister could not escape the blame. Wang once was dismissed for the crime of "not being careful in management".

It should be said that this is the disaster-like consequence of the natural disaster caused by the Zhaoying Palace in Yuqing, but the Song Shi emphasized another thing: after the fire, Liu E cried and said, "The power of the late emperor became this palace and was spread all over overnight." It was meant to rebuild it. Fan Yong, deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor, replied coldly, "It's better to burn it all." This is completely God's will. When it was repaired, it was exhausted. Now it was rebuilt. Be careful that the people can't afford it, and there will be a big chaos!

Then Liu E knew she was wrong. She seemed to be noble and loyal to the country, loyal ministers and gentlemen...

But according to me, Yuqing Zhaoying Palace is considered the root hair? It is at most a palace, not the thousands of miles of the Zhao family! Because in the 7th year of Tiansheng, Liu E wanted to usurp the throne!

Cao Yi committed suicide, Lu Zongdao died of illness, Zhang Shixun, and Wang Zeng was demoted. On August 5, due to the disagreement between Xia Shu and Lu Yijian, Liu E finally set up a list of ministers: Prime Minister Lu Yijian; General Secretary Xue Kui, Chen Yaozuo, Wang Shu; Privy Councillor Zhang Qi, Xia Shu; Privy Councillor Jiang Zun, Fan Yong.
