Zhao Gou, the man who carried the pot.

In the fourth year of Jingkang (1128 AD), on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, King Kang Zhao Gou forced Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, to pass on the throne to the crown prince Zhao Chen.

Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, announced that he recognized the legitimate status of Zhao Chen, the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and also declared that the Great Han was no longer a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and that the two sides were equal.

In the fourth year of Jingkang, on June 26, the emperor and the king of Han were officially called emperors, with the country name Dahan and the year name Shenlong.

In the first year of Shenlong, on July 28, Liu Zhenglong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, patrolled Luoyang, Xijing, and 200,000 cavalry officially entered Luoyang, and tore up the non-aggression pact between Han and Jin. In the first year of Shenlong, on August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Gou, the regent of the prison state, killed the young lord Zhao Chen, and officially ascended the throne, with the year name Jianyan, known as Song Gaozong in history.

The largest newspaper in the Han Dynasty, the Han Xiongfeng Newspaper, officially condemned Zhao Gou for killing his brother, killing his nephew, and usurping the throne.

On the ninth day of September in the first year of Shenlong, on the Double Ninth Festival, Emperor Zhao Ji died of illness, and the Han Dynasty Xiongfeng newspaper published an article signed by the King of Han, condemning Zhao Gou, the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, for poisoning the Emperor Zhao Ji, and the newspapers of the two countries launched a debate, and the two countries officially broke off diplomatic relations. And the Jin Kingdom, which has always sharpened its knives, is finally ready to invade the south, and the target is officially aimed at the Great Song Dynasty, which is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the war is about to break out.

On the ninth day of September in the first year of Shenlong, on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, passed away mysteriously.

The death of Wanyan Zongwang postponed the plan of the Jin State to invade the Song Dynasty in the south, and the Emperor of the Jin State Wanyan Wu begged to add Wanyan Zongwang as the king of Wei, which can be regarded as an affirmation of the life of the second prince who made great achievements.

When he heard the news of Yan Zongwang's death, Han Lie was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed, he had no way to describe his mood now. When Chai Jin said that Yan Zongwang would die, Han Lie thought it was just a diplomatic measure, but he didn't expect all this to happen, but why did the Han people know the time of Yan Zongwang's death?

"Could it be that King Han is an immortal?" Han Lie's admiration for King Han rose in his heart, and at the same time, he also had more fear in his heart.

Wanyan Wu begged to meet Han Lie secretly, and he said with a smile: "It seems that there are really masters in the Han Kingdom, I really don't know if they calculated the death of the second prince or if they planned it single-handedly." However, no matter what, it will be beneficial for us, and it will depend on how we plan next. ”

"Your Majesty, don't you think there's something wrong with things?"

"What do you mean?"

Wanyan Wu begged to buy was carried away by the victory, and he didn't think so deeply and so far.

Han Lie said helplessly: "Is it really a coincidence that the second prince died mysteriously in the Song Dynasty?" It seems that everything is in the calculations of the Han King, which is also terrible. And there should be something unknown behind this, it stands to reason that our two countries have an agreement that they should jointly negotiate and jointly send troops to the Song State, but why did the Han State tear up the non-aggression pact? ”

"That's right, it's really illogical, why is this, you hurry up and go to the imperial capital of the Han Kingdom, find out what is going on, and if you don't know the true intentions of the Han Kingdom, you can't blindly invade the Song Dynasty."

Now Wanyan Wu begging has selfish intentions, not only to invade the Song Dynasty, but also to find a way to help his son Wanyan Zongqi ascend to the throne, it is obvious that there are still a lot of preparations, but this requires the cooperation of the Han State, otherwise the Taizu family will not allow Pu Lihu to ascend the throne.

Wanyan Wu begged to buy obsessed with Han culture, especially the crown prince system, it was a bit crazy, he has always loved his eldest son Pu Lihu, and has always hoped that he can be enthroned by his son after a hundred years, rather than passing on the throne to his younger brother Wanyan Xianye. This is not only the selfishness of father and son, but also a secret that cannot be passed on to the outside world, that is, he hopes that he can live a long life, and when he returns to the west, the current crown prince Wan Yan Xian is also old.

In order to live a long life, for the sake of the eternal stability of the Dajin country, passed down from generation to generation, Wanyan Wu Qimai decided to change the crown prince system, not only for his son, but also for the sake of the Dajin country.

Wanyan Wu Qimai is an extremely far-sighted person, who saw the biggest drawback of the current crown prince system, and when the imperial brother Wanyan Agu was called the emperor, he was already the second person, and he had enough prestige to make the following people naturally support his own crown prince succession. If there is no battle of Yunzhou, there is no problem for the crown prince Wan Yan Xian to ascend the throne after his death, after all, he is the marshal of the Dajin Capital, with heavy troops in his hands, and his prestige is extremely high. However, in the Battle of Yunzhou, although the 130,000 Western Liao troops were annihilated, after all, the labor division did not take Yunzhou, in other words, it did not bring spoils to Dajin, which made the nobles of the Jin Kingdom dissatisfied with Wanyan Xian, and in this case, Wanyan Xian also succeeded to the throne, there will be unstable factors, of course, these are all Wanyan Wu begging to buy himself is making excuses, a good excuse for his son to ascend the throne.

When Han Lie was about to leave, Wanyan Wu begged and said: "Under the pretext of congratulating the crown prince on your envoy this time, you solemnly sent an envoy to ask the crown prince questions in private, to see when his deadline is and whether there is any possibility of advancement." ”

"Obey." Han Lie felt funny, His Majesty the Emperor actually regarded the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Dynasty as a god, not only to calculate when the limit of Wan Yan Xian was also, but also to find a way to make Wan Yan Xian also die early, this kind of absurd thing actually came out of the mouth of His Majesty Wise, if it was spread out, the world would be in an uproar.

The birth of the prince of the Han Dynasty is an important thing in the Han Kingdom, the Pan family has married six imperial concubines in the palace, second only to the Zhao family, hehe, there is no way that the Zhao family is in Xijing Luoyang, and more than 20 are pampered, so it can be said that there is no one before and no one after him, it is definitely a great feat. The crown prince Liu Haotian turned old is the crown prince's coronation ceremony, which shows the importance that the emperor of the Han Dynasty attaches to the prince, and it can be regarded as the fulfillment of his commitment to the Pan family.

Not only did the Jin state send envoys, but the Song state, Dali, the Tibetan that was at war with the Western Xia, the Goryeo that was being invaded by the Jin state, the Western Regions countries in the northwest, the Wa state, and the Annam kingdom all sent envoys to congratulate the crown prince on his coronation.

According to the Great Song system, the throne was basically crowned before the crown prince, but the Han Dynasty did not have this rule, the eldest son of the emperor Liu Chen was crowned the king of Qin, the second son of the emperor Liu Zhen was crowned the king of Jin, the third son of the emperor Liu Qian was crowned the king of Wei, and the fourth son of the emperor Liu Yi was crowned the king of Zhao. The fifth son of the emperor, Liu Zhijia, was crowned the king of Zhou, and the sixth son of the emperor, Liu Haotian, was the crown prince. Now there are only six princes in the Han Dynasty, and on the surface, the harem is peaceful, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and the invisible battle is gradually opening.

Because the mother of the emperor's eldest son Liu Chen is Li Qingluo, the lord of Xixia County, the situation is relatively special, under the efforts of the emperor's ancestors, the emperor's eldest son Liu Chen was handed over to the queen Pan Yun to raise, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent battle for succession.

The Imperial Sect Division was supposed to be the prestigious elder of the Liu family as the master, but unfortunately Liu Zhenglong, a traverser, had no relatives at all in this era, and in the end, in the case of the purpose of balancing the four major families, Liu Zhenglong tried his best to let Liu Kan, the father of the noble concubine Liu Ruyan, be the master.

Liu Kan is an extremely ambitious person, and the Liu family has always been one of the three major chaebols, but he has no status in the Great Song Dynasty, which has become the heart disease of the upper echelons of the Liu family. Especially when Liu Mingjun followed Liu Zhenglong to make a fortune, and finally the Liu family became the first of the three major chaebols, and the wealth was second only to Liu Zhenglong in the world, Liu Kan's ambition as the head of the Liu family came up.

After Liu Zhenglong married Liu Ruyan, Liu Kan officially took over the position of head of the family from the old man of the Liu family, and since then this careerist has begun to have his own plans, which can be said to have contributed all his strength to the Han Empire, and hundreds of children of the Liu family have made great contributions to the commercial operation of the Han Empire.

Liu Mingjun, the former business partner of Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, eventually became the Minister of Finance of the Han Empire, holding the financial power of the Han Dynasty, and became the hottest figure in the Han Empire.

The system of the Han Empire was based on the Tang Dynasty's system of three provinces and six ministries, and made great changes. The Kuixing Pavilion where Wenchen is located will form the Great Han Seniority Hall, and the Qilin Pavilion where the military generals are located will form the Iron Blood Hall. The two do not rule each other, and when there is a need for coordination, they go to Ziwei Pavilion, which is the highest legislative body in the Han Dynasty and is also the judicial organ.

The three institutions that are not subordinate to each other, namely the Zizheng Hall, the Iron Blood Hall, and the Ziwei Pavilion, are the highest authority institutions of the Han Dynasty, and the three provinces of the Han State that are established by military force are established in this way, and the three divisions of powers with Han characteristics are administrative power, military power, and judicial power.

Seven scholars take turns to preside over the meeting, each performing its own duties and complementing each other. Rotated once a month, responsible for presiding over the meeting, there is no distinction between the seven people, of course, there is prestige, seniority, after all, there must be official etiquette.

At the same time, the seven scholars are also ministers of seven important departments, but they only serve part-time, not directly manage, and the real power is the deputy minister.

Zhao Ding, a scholar, was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, which was the head of the Seven Ministries, and the authoritarian power was finally formed to form the trust of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in him. This is also an affirmation of Zhao Ding's contribution to the Han Dynasty over the years, he was born in a poor family and is not a wealthy family, and he has also set a good example for the people of the world. Zhao Ding is the representative of the world's scholars, attracting more literati to go to the Han State to seek a way out, and the scholars who pass the examination in the Han State will get the opportunity to be trained, and finally go to the official career, which is many times more enlightened than the Song State.

University scholar Yu Wenxu Zhong served as the Minister of National Affairs, which was a brand-new department, responsible for the diplomatic affairs of the Han State and other countries, and at the same time supervised the overseas business of the Han Dynasty.

Pan Xu, a university scholar, served as the Ministry of Land, and all the mining, land, transportation, ocean and overseas mining in Dahan, overseas exploration, etc., seem ordinary now, and will become the most important of the many departments in the future.

Wang Su, a university scholar, served as the Ministry of Political and Education, which was responsible for the country's education, imperial examinations, and the training of officials, military generals, and judicial personnel.

Hu Yin, a scholar, was appointed to the Ministry of Rites and Education, which had most of the functions of the Ministry of Rites, and was also in charge of propaganda, which was rare at the time. At the same time, it also supervises Qin Tianjian and so on.

Gao Chen, a university scholar, was in charge of the Ministry of Lands, mainly for the purpose of local civil affairs, taking over some of the functions of the former Ministry of Households, and at the same time dealing with social security, the management of local officials, and also a part of the functions and powers of the Ministry of Officials. At the same time, it also has agriculture-related matters, which are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the regulation and control of prices.

Cao Zhi, a university scholar, is in charge of the Strategic Development Department, which is a department that reports directly to the Son of Heaven, and Shi Ju is the deputy minister.

The system of the Han Dynasty is incomprehensible to the outside world, and there are even many inconveniences in the docking of many affairs, but the countries have to admit that the administrative operation of the Han Dynasty is much smoother than that of other countries.

The first person to meet with Yuwen Xuzhong was Jin Zhihuan, the envoy from Goryeo, it stands to reason that Jin is now attacking Goryeo in a big way, at this time, for reasons to avoid suspicion, the Han should not meet the envoy of Jin, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty instructed Yuwen Xuzhong to meet with Kim Zhihuan, the envoy of Goryeo, and Miaoqing, the deputy envoy.

Goryeo is facing an unprecedented catastrophe, and there is a possibility of losing the country at any time, and the lord Wang Kai is so small, and the power is in the hands of the queen mother Shunde palace lord and the abbot Li Ziqian. Now that the Jin Kingdom has invaded on a large scale and has occupied most of the territory of Goryeo, if it were not for the complicated terrain of Goryeo, which is not conducive to the galloping of the Jin cavalry, Goryeo would have perished long ago.

When the emperor of the Han Dynasty was proclaimed emperor, the envoy of Goryeo set out, but because the distance was too far, when he arrived in the imperial capital, it became a congratulatory coronation to the crown prince.

Yuwen Xuzhong couldn't help but smile when he saw the gift list, it seems that the Son of Heaven has a widow disease and is famous all over the world, Goryeo actually sent the twin sister of the Shunde Palace Lord Li Xiaofang, Li Xiaoli, in addition to twelve Goryeo dancers who can sing and dance. Even the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng and many Korean national treasures are on the list.

After accepting the gift list, Yu Wenxu said unhurriedly: "On behalf of the Son of Heaven, the prince thanks the monarch of your country, the lord of the palace of Shunde and the prince of the country for their friendship to the Han Dynasty, thank you for coming to congratulate the crown prince." ”

Kind words, all kind words. Kim Ji-hwan said in extremely broken Chinese: "Goryeo has been a vassal state in the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is an honor for the Goryeo Kingdom to congratulate the crown prince of the suzerain, and the abbot, the palace master, and the monarch all attach great importance to this matter." ”

"Isn't Goryeo a vassal state of the Song Kingdom? When you come to our Han Dynasty, aren't you afraid that the Song Kingdom will be dissatisfied? ”。

Yuwen Xuzhong had a smile on his face, but behind the smile was a great irony, and Kim Jihwan knew that he was not satirizing Goryeo, nor was he satirizing himself, but he was just satirizing Da Song. He sorted out his thoughts and said: "Da Song, hehe, cannibalism, killing brothers and nephews, killing morals, what kind of system." We in Goryeo respect the strong and respect the orthodoxy, the Han is the orthodoxy of the world, and the Han Emperor is the co-master of the world. We, Goryeo, are willing to be the vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and the monarch is a vassal to the Han Dynasty. ”

"In the evening, a family banquet was prepared, and I hope that the envoy will attend." Yu Wenxu's tone was categorical, he didn't mean to discuss with the other party at all, and he didn't say anything about the following, in fact, he announced the end of the talks.
