Li doesn't give up to Zhishi?

The news spread like the wind throughout Bianliang, and everyone was speculating about what Li Buqi had planned. According to people's thoughts, now that the battle for the crown prince is in full swing, shouldn't Li Buqi stand up for his students? How can you be so irresponsible? Some people speculate that Li Buqi is retreating as advance, forcing the emperor to appoint three princes as the crown prince. The emperor seemed to ask Li Buqi inadvertently: "Don't give up, you see who is better to make me the crown prince?" ”

Li Buqi didn't answer this, but said: "Before going to Shaanxi, the minister said it." After a few years, I think Your Majesty should have a place to belong. The minister is the teacher of the three princes, and he must avoid suspicion in this matter, so His Majesty should not ask the minister about this matter again. ”

If Li Buqi can let ordinary people guess his intentions, it won't be in vain. After reading so many emperors' black history, it is estimated that no one in the Great Song Dynasty knows better than Li Buqi the psychological pressure on the emperor with a combination of a grand plan and a young courtier with high merit, and then desperately competing for the crown prince at this time can only make the emperor even more trembling. On the contrary, take the initiative to take a step back at this time and give the emperor some sense of security, so that the emperor will not have a rebellious mentality.

Moreover, Li Buqi retired, and Zhao Sheng inherited Li Buqi's military and political strategy to do things on the stage, and those officials who wanted some changes in the Great Song Dynasty either took the initiative or passively went to Zhao Sheng to work under Zhao Sheng like Pang Ji, which will create a political team for Zhao Sheng. Even if Zhao Sheng temporarily loses in the battle for the crown prince, these former officials under Zhao Sheng will inevitably be put into a separate register by those who support the four princes, then these people will be forced to clash with the group that supports the four princes, so that Zhao Sheng will have a chance to turn around.

With the above considerations in mind, he is very resolute. After several temptations, the emperor determined that Li Buqi really did not love the position, and he was very happy, and agreed to Li Buqi's resignation when the Chinese New Year was approaching. In this way, Zhao Sheng justifiably became the Shaanxi envoy, and Pang Ji became the deputy envoy to assist Zhao Sheng in managing Shaanxi's military and political affairs.

In the next five years of Jiayou, Western Xia really showed signs of collapse. Although he still held the power of the Western Xia and made his daughter the queen, the various departments of the Western Xia had become detached, and the once feared war machine of the Western Xia showed obvious signs of poor operation.

In the spring, when the horses of Western Xia were thin, the army of Yanyan Road commanded by Zhang Kang and the army of Hedong Road commanded by Guo Kui set out from Mizhi and Linfu respectively to carry out centripetal assaults. Different from the prediction of the Western Xia people, the two armies did not go to Yinzhou, but went straight to the left wing of the Shenyong Army Division to seize the Jialushan Iron Mine. Because Zhao Sheng, on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, promised the Qiang people to allow the Qiang people to live here for generations, the Qiang people on the territory of the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Division did not have much resistance, and even some "took the initiative to donate land".

After the two Song armies seized the territory of the Divine Warrior Division in the Left Chamber, the Western Xia also sent troops to fight for it, but they retreated after being attacked. Zhang Kang held a knife in one hand - kill those who did not follow, and take money in the other hand - obediently allowed him to trade with the Song people, and by the autumn he had completely controlled the area east of the Mingtang River within the Great Wall. At this time, Yinzhou is facing a two-sided attack, and it is only a matter of time before it is overcome.

At the same time as the good news of Yanyan Road was frequent, Huanqing Road and Qinfeng Road also frequently launched limited offensives. Because each attack has a limited and easy to reach goal, basically every attack will achieve results, and Western Xia can only be tired of coping.

It can be said that the situation in Shaanxi is now stable and improving, and Zhao Sheng has promoted cowpox in Shaanxi, which has given him a good reputation, but people in the court have seen Li Buqi and Zhao Sheng's plans, and they have begun to attack Zhao Sheng's strategy.

What Zhao Sheng needs now is stability, and there can be no big defeat to ensure the competitiveness of competing for the position of crown prince, so many people accuse Zhao Sheng of being cowardly as a mouse, having obvious advantages but not daring to let go, but he just stopped moving forward and consumed the country's money and food in vain.

They made this accusation in an attempt to force the Song army to take risks. If the Song army is defeated, then Zhao Sheng's competition for the crown prince will basically be in vain.

But Zhao Zhen still remembers the several defeats in the Qingli years, and Li Buqi and Di Qing are always on his side to analyze the situation for him, but Zhao Zhen has always been sober-minded. Moreover, since the implementation of the currency reform in the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with the grain import of Guangnan and Annam, the fiscal revenue has been greatly improved, and the civil strife in the northern Liao State has basically no threat to the Great Song Dynasty, and the prime minister and the household department are embarrassed to say that there is no money to fight in Shaanxi, so Zhao Zhen has always adhered to the strategic policy of slow progress formulated by Li Buqi and has not wavered.

If this continues, as long as Li Buqi does not change the strategic line formulated by Li Buqi at will, he can take down Hengshan from the position of the Shaanxi envoy.

The large-scale rebellion on the Liao side was suppressed, but more than 30,000 people fled from the Liao State to Suzhou to seek refuge, and suddenly Tao Lin's manpower was abundant, and now he has taken Fuzhou twice. The successive civil strife severely weakened the Liao's control, and the fleet to Liaodong reported that a Jurchen tribe living in the Mingtong River had opened the Eagle Road, and after annexing many of the tribes on the Eagle Road, they began to attack the Liao army, and were now in a hurry to buy armor and weapons. Li Buqi was still wondering if this tribe would be the Jurchen tribe that produced the Wanyan Agu Ta, but he didn't know much about history, so he could only decide to go with the flow in the end.

The Wa Kingdom is now in a mess as well. Shikoku and Honshu daimyo were able to produce more food than other daimyo because they received a large amount of iron farming tools sold by the Great Song Dynasty, and they were able to support more people, and their strength grew, and the original balance of power in the local area was broken, and conflicts naturally ensued. As a result, not only did the daimyo fight with the daimyo, but also between the daimyo and the lords, and there was also a conflict between the lords and Kyoto, and now the maritime merchants of the Fukuan Foundation were busy selling weapons made in Tamna to the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa people were now stepping up the mining of copper, gold and silver and other minerals for export in order to buy more iron tools and weapons.

In the south, Annam had already destroyed Cochin, demolished the palace of Thang Long Province, sold all the precious wood to the Great Song Dynasty, and Thang Long Province was renamed Hanoi. The expedition organized by Li Buqi in Guangnan also ended in victory, don't look at the number of poisonous people, but it was not enough to meet the well-organized and armed Song army to the teeth, and the poisonous king saw the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, so he had to agree not to hinder trade, and set aside several ports for Song ships to moor. The expedition fought a lot of pirates along the way, and in order to prevent pirates from harassing merchant ships, on the way back, they set up a Tongyuan village at the southeast exit of the Strait of Malacca, leaving 200 people to garrison.

Now that the situation has opened up in all directions, it will take time to do whatever you do next, and you can't be in a hurry, so Li Bu will enjoy life with peace of mind. He took the whole family back to Bianliang, slept until he woke up naturally every day, and went to Qingyuan Academy or Wubei Academy to discuss why there was no Chang'e on the moon, and whether the sea and the ground were flat or arc-shaped.

His living state made Zhao Zhen very relieved, and seemed to have made up his mind to establish Zhao Sheng as the crown prince, which was manifested in Zhao Zhen's kicking of Wen Yanbo out of the capital and the promotion of the neutral Fu Bi, in addition to several officials who supported the four princes The most active officials were also quietly kicked out of the capital, and the officials who were born in Qingyuan Academy and had a neutral attitude in the matter of the prince were promoted, and some newly emerging officials such as Feng Jing were sent to Shaanxi Zhao Sheng. This is the result of pushing the emperor too hard, and it seems that Zhao Zhen is jealous of the huge power that supports the four princes.

If things develop smoothly, maybe in a year or two, Zhao Sheng will be naturally appointed as the prince, but what people didn't expect was that in the spring and February of the sixth year of Jiayou, Zhao Zhen had another stroke. This time the illness was worse than the last time, which gave the party that supported the Four Princes a desperate opportunity to find out that the situation was wrong.

The emperor couldn't look at things, the ministers were subdued, and the prime minister Han Qi went straight into the interior, saying that the country could not be without a king for a day, and asked the emperor to immediately appoint the crown prince. This is the forced palace, now there are only four princes in the capital, isn't this obvious that only the fourth prince can be established?

At this time, Zhao Zhen, who was ill, was weak and sick again, and he trembled in front of Han Qi, and was finally forced to set up the fourth prince as the crown prince, and the edict was drafted by the Zhizhi at a very fast speed and released to the world.

In the whole process of forcing the palace, Li Bu's attitude was very intriguing. Although Han Qi forced the palace for a short time, Li Buqi was not present, but he did not say a word from beginning to end, which made everyone in the court unable to figure out what Li Buqi was thinking.

Thank you Feilong for your reward, and today's double change.
