Song Taizong saw that Song Qi and Kou Zhun were fighting for whether or not to establish Zhao Yuanzuo as the prince, and after pondering for a while, he stopped this fruitless dispute.

After Song Taizong stopped the ministers' arguments, he said sternly: "You two sides have their own reasons, but there is no result; I want to ask: Which prince will be appointed if Zhao Yuanzuo's position as crown prince is not restored! ”

Song Taizong asked so, frowned and said thoughtfully: "I have nine sons, and the second son, Zhao Yuanyou, no longer eats fireworks in the world, but there are still 8; Zhao Yuanzuo is the eldest son, may I ask which of the other 7 princes is stronger than Zhao Yuanzuo! ”

Song Taizong's sentence is obviously inclined to re-establish Zhao Yuanzuo as the crown prince, and it can also be said to be a sentence of dissatisfaction with the urine of the cow cage; It is up to the ministers to ponder and speculate.

This seems to be the character of Song Taizong, who has engaged in intrigues and tricks all his life; Of course, I can't forget the repetition of the old trick in the matter of appointing the prince.

Song Taizong's words were profound, and the quarrelsome court suddenly quieted down.

Song Qi and Kou Zhun are two ministers with opposing views, you look at him, he looks at you; Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon.

The silence was stiff but intriguing, and Li Fang immediately stood up to speak; He should speak at this time with Ping Zhangshi, and Li Fang said a very compromise method.

Li Fang's compromise method was approved by Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, and Lu Duan, and Lu Mengzheng added Li Fang's words; He said eloquently: "Weichen is willing to go to Xiazhou to ask for the opinion of the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo, and see if Zhao Yuanzuo is willing to be the prince again!" ”

Zhang Qixian and Lu Duan's words were the same: "Weichen raised his hands in agreement, as long as Zhao Yuanzuo is willing to be the prince, then the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty is him!" ”

Song Taizong couldn't help but be happy when he heard Li Fang, Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, and Lu Duan respond to each other.

The problem is that what Song Taizong said earlier was that he was dissatisfied with the urine of the cow cage, and the compromise opinions of Li Fang, Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, and Lu Duan were even deeper, which can be described as dissatisfaction with the urine of the grass sieve basket.

The ministers muttered in their hearts but didn't dare to say it, and Song Taizong asked Li Fang, Lü Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, and Lü Duan with great interest: "Is the Xia Prefecture mentioned by the four Aiqing the Great Xia Kingdom established by Helian Bobo of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" There seems to be a city in the Great Xia Kingdom, what is it called Helian City! ”

"Holy Heaven!" Li Fang held the wat board in his hand tightly and bowed, and climbed up the pole; With a mouth full of droplets, he said: "Xiazhou is the Great Xia Kingdom established by Zahu Helian Bobo, and Helian City is also called Tongwan City; It is the only city that Zahu has built on the border of Middle-earth! ”

Li Fang stretched his neck as he spoke, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "According to Weichen's understanding, after Li Jiqian's thieves booby-trapped Cao Guangshi, the inspection envoy of Xia, Yin, Yu, Sui, Jing, Fu, Lin, Feng, and Hong Kyushu, he has been sticking to Xiazhou and Tongwancheng; The general of the horse Zhengxi rushed to Kyushu in the north and would definitely deal with the thief Li Jiqian in Xiazhou, so he mentioned that he would go to the prince in Xiazhou to ask for advice! ”

Song Taizong frowned and asked again: "Why do you call Helian Bobo a miscellaneous beard?" I don't know much about this Helian Bo Bozhen, can Aiqing tell me the origin of this miscellaneous hu by the way! ”

"This question is answered by Wei Chen to the saint!" Zhang Qixian stepped forward and bowed, and then said with self-recommendation.

Song Taizong glanced at Zhang Qixian and knew that he was knowledgeable; Seeing a lot of knowledge, he raised his arm and said, "Okay! Zhang Aiqing will make up for the lonely family today! ”

Zhang Qixian didn't care when he heard the ridicule in Song Taizong's words, stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The reason why Helian Bobo is called Zahu is that his father is a Hun and his mother is a Xianbei person; As soon as the two were combined, a lot of miscellaneous beards like Helian Bobo came out! ”

Zhang Qixian said with an excited expression: "At present, the Khitan and party items who are enemies of the Great Song Dynasty should belong to the list of miscellaneous hus, and Helian Bobo is still their ancestor!" ”

Song Taizong laughed, and Zhang Qixian impassionedly told the family and history of Zahu Helian:

Helian Bobo is a member of the Tiefu Xiongnu tribe, the men of the Tiefu tribe are Xiongnu, and the women are Xianbei people; Helian Bobo is said to be a descendant of the Xiongnu Youxian King Qubei, and is of the same clan as Liu Yuan, the former Emperor Guangwen of Zhao.

Helian Bobo's great-grandfather Liu Hu was in the reign of Liu Cong, Emperor Zhaowu of the former Zhao Dynasty, because he was a clan, he was named the general of Anbei, the military of Jian Xianbei, and the general of Ding Lingzhonglang, and he was in charge of Luchuan.

After Liu Hu was defeated by Tuoba Yilu, the leader of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, he went out to live outside the Saiwai, and Helian Bobo's grandfather Liu Wuhuan recruited the tribe to make a comeback; Its ministry is strong again.

Later Zhao Emperor Shi Hu sent Liu Wuhuan as the general of Pingbei, the king of Zuoxian, and Ding Lingdanyu.

Helian Bobo's father, Liu Weichen, settled in the Sainei, and the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian appointed him as the governor of Xidan Yu to supervise the various tribes in Hexi, and stationed in Dailai City.

By the time of the division of the former Qin, Liu Weichen had the land of Shuofang, and the army had 38,000 men.

Later, the Northern Wei army came to attack, and Liu Weichen ordered his son Liu Liqi to resist and was defeated by the Wei army; The Wei army crossed the Yellow River to conquer Dailai and captured and killed Liu Weichen, and Helian Bobo escaped by going out hunting; went to the cadres.

The cadres were the Xianbei tribe living in Fushi (now Yan'an, Shaanxi), and the chief called him to fight; He fought and planned to send Helian Bobo to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The son of his brother was called Qigan Ali, and he heard that his uncle was going to send Helian Bobo to the Northern Wei Dynasty; He hurried to exhort, saying, "The birds, when they are cornered, should be saved from calamity; How much more is the kingdom of Helian Bobo, who is ruined and submits to us? Even if he can't be tolerated, he should go elsewhere. Now arrest him and send him to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it's not a benevolent person's doing! ”

He was afraid of being blamed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he did not listen. Qigan Ali secretly sent brave people to snatch Helian Bobo away on the road, and sent Gao Pinggong to Later Qin did not Yi Yu, and did not Yi Yu marry his daughter to Helian Bobo.

Helian Bobo is eight feet five inches tall, with a belt of ten measurements, and is eloquent and intelligent by nature, with a beautiful demeanor and appearance.

Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing was very surprised to see him and deeply respected him; He was appointed as the general of the cavalry, and he was appointed as the lieutenant of Fengche, and often participated in major military and national affairs; Favors and favors surpass heroes and veterans.

Yao Xing's younger brother Yao Yong said to Yao Xing: "Helian Bo is unkind by nature and difficult to get close to. His Majesty favored him too much, and His Majesty was a little puzzled by this. ”

Yao Xing said: "Helian Bobo has the talent to save the world, and I am about to use his talent; What's wrong with him to pacify the world! ”

So he appointed Helian Bobo as the general of Anyuan, sealed the Marquis of Yangchuan, asked him to help Wuyi to defend Gaoping, and distributed 30,000 people to him in Sancheng and Shuofang's Zayi and Liu Weichen's troops; And let Helian Bobo reconnoiter the enemy's movements for the Later Qin attack on the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Yao Yong tried his best to admonish him, thinking that he could not do this. Yao Xing said: "How do you know Helian Bo's temperament? ”

Yao Yong said: "Helian served the Lord arrogantly, ruled the army cruelly, was greedy and tyrannical and did not pay attention to family affection, and took it very lightly to go and stay, and if he pampered him more than proportionately, he would eventually become a scourge on the border." Yao Xing gave up.

But it didn't take long for Yao Xing to appoint Helian Bobo as the general of Zhijie, Anbei, and Wuyuan, and assigned more than 20,000 tribes of Sanjiao, Wubu Xianbei and miscellaneous tribes to him to guard Shuofang.

At that time, Hexi Xianbei Du Wei presented 8,000 horses to Yao Xingjin, crossed the Yellow River, and when he arrived in Dacheng, Helian Bobo detained the horses and gathered more than 30,000 of his people to pretend to go to Gaopingchuan for a safari.

In the same year, Helian Bobo attacked and killed his father-in-law, Wu Yiyu, and annexed Wu Yiyu's army, which numbered tens of thousands.

In 407 A.D., Helian Bobo rebelled against Qin and established himself as the king of heaven and Da Shan Yu, pardoned criminals in the territory, established the Yuan Dynasty and promoted Longsheng, and set up and appointed hundreds of officials.

Helian Bobo believed that the Xiongnu were the descendants of the Xia Hou clan, so the country was called Great Xia; Appointed his eldest brother Helian Youdi as the prime minister and acting duke, the second brother Helian Li as the general and the Duke of Wei, Qigan Ali as the imperial historian and Liang Gong, and the younger brother Helian Aliluo as the general of Zhengnan and the captain of Sili, Ruomen as the Shangshu Ling, the Tatar as the general of the expedition to the west, the left servant of Shangshu, Yidou as the general of Zhengbei and the right servant of Shangshu, and the rest of the people were appointed in turn.

After Helian Bobo established the Great Xia Kingdom, he crusaded against Xianbei Xue Gan and other three tribes; Defeated the three divisions, more than 10,000 people surrendered.

Later, he crusaded against the border garrisons north of the three cities of Later Qin, and killed the Later Qin generals Yang Pi and Yao Shisheng.

Helian Bobo's generals advised him to hold on, but Helian Bobo did not listen, and the generals said to Helian Bobo: "Your Majesty is going to rule the world and attack Chang'an in the south, you should first consolidate the foundation and make the people's hearts have something to rely on, so that the great cause can be accomplished in the future." Gaoping is strong and the mountains and rivers are fertile, and it can be used as the national capital. ”

Helian Bo said, "You know only one and not the other. I have a great cause, there are not many troops, Yao Xing is also a hero in the world, and Guanzhong can't plot yet. Moreover, all the towns of Yao Xing obeyed orders, and if we concentrate on holding one city, they will definitely work together against us, and our army is no match for them, and will soon perish. We rushed forward like a storm, and when they rescued the front army, we attacked the rear army, and the rescue rear army attacked the front army, so that they were exhausted, and we were calm, and within ten years, Lingbei and Hedong would all belong to me. After Yao Xing's death, he gradually captured Chang'an. Yao Xing's son Yao Hong is a mediocre and cowardly boy, and the strategy of capturing him is already in my calculations. In the past, the Xuanyuan clan had also moved to impermanence for more than 20 years, am I alone! ”

Helian Bobo's words showed his eloquence; The soldiers were impressed.

As a result, Helian Bobo led his army to invade and plunder the area north of the Qinling Mountains, and the gates of the northern part of the mountains did not dare to open during the day.

Yao Xing sighed and said: "I don't adopt Yao Yong's words, so that I have fallen to such a point!" ”

When Helian Bobo first took the title, he asked the bald Wei Tan, the monarch of Southern Liang, to marry his daughter, but the bald Wei Tan did not agree.

Helian Bobo was very angry, and led 20,000 cavalry to attack the bald Wei Tan, from Yang Fei to Zhiyang for a total of more than 300 miles, killing and wounding more than 10,000 people, looting 27,000 people and hundreds of thousands of cattle, horses and sheep and returning.

The bald Wei Tan led the army to chase after him, and the general Jiao Lang said to the bald Wei Tan: "Helian is heroic by nature, and he can not be taken lightly because he is strict in governing the army. Now, with the looted wealth, he leads the warriors who are looking forward to returning, and it is difficult for men to fight against him. It is better to cross the river from Wenwei to the north, to Wanhudui, and build a camp with the river to choke the choke point, which is a way to win a hundred battles. ”

The bald-haired general He Lian said angrily: "Helian Bobo used his remnants to lead the rabble to rebel and cause chaos, causing a disaster, and he was lucky to have a great achievement. Now he has so many cattle and sheep that he has blocked the roads, and his treasures are as abundant as mountains, and he is so exhausted that everyone is greedy, and Helian Bobo can no longer lead his soldiers to resist us. If we attack them with a great army, they will surely collapse completely. To lead an army away from them now is to show cowardice to the enemy. Our army is in full swing and should be pursued quickly. ”

The bald Wei Tan said: "My plan for pursuit has been decided, and those who dare to persuade will be killed!" ”

Helian Bobo was very happy when he heard the news, and he chiseled the ice cube to bury the wheels at the narrow mouth under Yangwu to block the road.

The bald Otan sent his archers-skilled soldiers to shoot them, hitting Helian Bo in the left arm. Helian Bobo led the army to meet the battle, defeated the bald Wei Tan, chased for more than 80 miles, killed tens of thousands of casualties, killed more than 10 generals in Nanliang, piled up the corpses into a high platform to seal the soil, named it "Calvary", and returned to Lingbei.

Helian Bobo and the Later Qin general Zhang Fosheng fought at Qingshiyuan, defeated Zhang Fosheng, and captured and killed 5,700 people.

Yao Xing sent the general Qi Nan to lead 20,000 troops to attack Helian Bobo, who retreated to Hequ.

Because Qi Nan was already far away from Helian Bobo, he indulged his soldiers to plunder everywhere, and Helian Bobo secretly sent troops to ambush Qi Nan, captured more than 7,000 people, and confiscated their horses and weapons.

Qi Nan led the troops back, and Helian Bobo pursued to Mucheng, conquered Mucheng, captured Qi Nan, and captured 13,000 people and 10,000 war horses.

Tens of thousands of Yi and Han people in Lingbei surrendered to Helian Bobo, and Helian Bobo set up guards to appease them. Helian Bobo led 20,000 cavalry into Gaogang, arrived at Wujing, plundered more than 7,000 Pingliang Zahu and distributed them to the rear army, and stationed in Yilichuan.

Yao Xing came to attack and arrived at the three cities, and Helian Bobo took advantage of the fact that Yao Xing's various armies had not yet converged and led the cavalry to attack them.

Yao Xing was very frightened and sent his general Yao Wenzong to meet him, but Helian Bobo pretended to retreat and set up an ambush to wait.

Yao Xing sent his general Yao Yusheng and others to lead his troops to pursue, and Helian Bobo's ambush attacked and captured them all.

Yao Xing's general Wang Xi gathered more than 3,000 Qiang families in Qiqi Fort, and Helian attacked Wang Xi vigorously.

Wang Xi was brave and powerful, and when he was in close combat, many of Helian Bobo's soldiers were wounded. Helian Bobo built a dam to cut off the flow of water, and the people in the castle were very embarrassed and arrested Wang Xi and surrendered.

Helian Bobo said to Wang Xi: "You are a loyal minister! I'm going to settle the world with you. ”

Wang Xi said: "If I can receive great grace and let me die early, this is kindness." ”

So he committed suicide along with dozens of people close to him. Helian Bobo went to Huangshigu to attack Yao Xing's general Jin Luosheng, and to my Luocheng to attack Mijie Haodi, all of which were conquered, and more than 7,000 households were moved to Dacheng, and his brother Prime Minister Helian was appointed to lead Youzhou Mu to guard on his behalf.

Helian Bobo sent Shangshu Jin Su to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack Pingliang, Yao Xing rushed to the rescue, Jin Su was defeated by Yao Xing and died in battle......

Zhang Qixian suddenly stopped when he said this, looked at Song Taizong and said, "Shengshang, Weichen wants to drink water; I hope Eun Zhun ......"
