Chapter 232 Bao Yuan

Although Concubine Yang Shu passed away in June, the court is slowly doing things, on the one hand, it is necessary to choose a nickname, and on the other hand, it is necessary to repair and arrange comprehension. It wasn't until the fourth year of Jingyou, that is, in February of the second year, that he was buried after more than half a year.

Buried next to Liu E in Yong'an Mausoleum.

Yong'an Mausoleum is located in Songshan, and Zhao Yu also went to Songshan to guard filial piety. However, naturally he couldn't just build a thatched hut next to the tomb, so Zhao Yu chose an abandoned Buddhist temple on the side, which was rumored to have been destroyed by Tang Wuzong in the Tang Dynasty when he destroyed the Buddha.

Zhao Yu let people repair it, naturally it is not a Buddhist temple anymore, and he is not interested in Buddha Zhao Yu, but he does not hate it. On the contrary, because Taoism is the origin of China, coupled with the fact that the royal family of the Song Dynasty worships Taoism a lot, and Gongsun Xuanxu, a Taoist disciple, is by his side, Zhao Yu is closer to Taoism.

The Buddhist temple was repaired into a Taoist temple, and Gongsun Xuanxu was very happy about it.

The original Buddhist temple was also changed to Xuanzhen Temple, Zhao Yu lived here during the worry, and occasionally there were visitors who visited and rested, but they didn't know at the beginning, the young Taoist priest who talked in front of them was the famous King of Changsha.

It's just that some things are always paper-can't hold the fire, and Zhao Yu also took advantage of the situation to set up a lecture society in the Xuanzhen Temple, and the lecture is not just Zhao Yu alone. Although Zhao Yu has a lot of novel views, his foundation is average. Zhao Yu did a party similar to a 'salon', and slowly became famous in Henan.

Although everything seems to be in Shouxiao and Shilin, Zhao Yu has not forgotten to pay attention to the information of the court and the outside world.

The Western Xia Dynasty set the text and the ritual music, which were all preparations for the founding of the country, and the Song Dynasty did not ignore these stupidly. On one side and Xixia Void and the snake. While reorganizing the army. In Gyeongju and Huanzhou, Liu Ping and Zhao Zhen were sent to handle the generals. Both men had prestige in the army. As soon as he arrived in the local area, he used the money and silver given by the imperial court on the one hand, and on the other hand, he encouraged the local naturalized people to build mountain barricades, and complemented each other, and was building a seemingly unstable defense line in the Gyeongju and Huanju areas, but it was layered on top of each other, which made people really annoyed.

In addition, after two years of events, under the harassment of the Western Xia army. The Planter Dao finally built Qingjian City.

Qingjian City was built on the basis of the ruins of Kuanzhou, which was established during the Tang Dynasty when Tang Gaozong was used to house the Tuyuhun tribe that belonged to him, but for various reasons, it was abandoned two hundred years later, in the fourteenth year of Tang Dezong's Zhenyuan.

However, Chong Shiheng's eyes are very vicious, this Qingjian City is located on the west bank of the Shaanxi-Jin Gorge of the Yellow River, at the confluence of the Wuding River and the Yellow River. On the left, it can ensure the safety of the grain and grass transported to the front line from Hedong, and on the right, it can consolidate the defense of Yan'an. The north can seek to capture Yinzhou and Xiazhou, which were occupied by Western Xia. Its strategic location is extremely important, so although the country is in the midst of reform (this time. Li Yuanhao has been reforming the Western Xia system and military system to lay the foundation for the future founding of the country), and he can't draw a large number of troops, and he doesn't want to declare war on the Song Dynasty in advance.

Li Yuanhao still gritted his teeth or lured or begged to let the nearby party and Qiang tribes harass him, but these were all resolved by Chong Shiheng one by one.

However, the preparation of the imperial court was not easy, in the fourth year of Jingyou, the Hedong earthquake, even Zhao Yu felt the earthquake in Songshan. Among them, Xinzhou, Daizhou, and Bingzhou suffered the greatest losses, with countless houses destroyed by the earthquake and tens of thousands of casualties. After the statistics of Xinzhou, the report sent to the imperial court said that nearly 20,000 people were killed, more than 5,700 people were injured, and more than 50,000 livestock died. Bingzhou is slightly better, but not better, more than 2,000 people died, and more than 800 people died in Daizhou. Moreover, Daizhou and Bingzhou are all important border passes, among which the world-famous Xiongguan, Yanmen Pass is within the jurisdiction of Daizhou.

In addition, Zu Baishi, the governor of Xinzhou, Wang Wengong, the prisoner of soldiers and horses, and Gao Jifang, the prisoner of soldiers and horses, were injured.

The imperial court hurriedly sent people to disaster relief, and some people recommended Zhao Yu, saying that Zhao Yu had achieved remarkable results in disaster relief on Jingdong East Road, and he had a military affair, if the Khitan took advantage of the earthquake on Hedong Road and the damage to the city walls in various places to go south, there were also people who could coordinate the overall situation and resist one or two.

Song Renzong also felt good, and asked the third envoy Cheng Lin, Cheng Lin said: "Yes! ”

However, Lu Yijian strongly objected, thinking that although Zhao Yu would provide disaster relief, but this time it was an earthquake, and it was necessary to pass "civil engineering construction", and the Liao State went south to Yunyun, which was purely a rumor, and if the king of Changsha was sent, he was afraid that it would cause misunderstanding in the Liao State and ruin the brotherly feelings. (Song Liao is a country of brothers in the alliance of the Yuan, Liao is a brother, and Song is a brother, so it will be said here that the brotherly feelings are bad.) ）

Song Renzong asked: "I'm afraid that the Liao Kingdom is really going south!" ”

Lu Yijian patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid! Send messengers to stabilize them, those barbarians in Liao are very easy to fool! ”

In order to strengthen Song Renzong's confidence, Lu Yijian also said: "The king of Changsha is now keeping filial piety, and the official family wants to use him, but it is to win love!" It's just that others are taking love, and the king of Changsha is taking love, I'm afraid it's not good for the official's family? ”

Song Renzong thought about it seriously, and felt that it was really true. Naturally, it is inevitable that he will not have much respect for his parents, but with the respect of the emperor, this matter is dispensable. It's just that if this parent is replaced by the little lady Yang Shufei, Song Renzong also has to be cautious, although Yang Shufei is not Song Renzong's adoptive mother, she has the name of adoptive mother.

In the end, Song Renzong still did what Lu Yijian wanted, first sent Zhu Yungong, a member of the Sansi Branch, to envoy Liao, and then asked Shi Chenghuan to serve the imperial family. Things didn't change, everything transitioned smoothly.

The name Cheng Huan Zhao Yu is also the first time I have heard it, but there is indeed no shortage of blockbuster guys in this world. Just like Cheng Ji, he has never been a chief official, first in the Tianxi period, in the first department, to Jingzhou as a pusher, and later returned to the court as a secretary, this is an idle official position, it can be said to be noble, it can also be a pension. After a few years, he was sent to Xu (Xuchang) Prefecture as a judge, and soon his father-in-law Cao Yu was demoted because of his arrogance. Although Cheng Jian was not very liked by his father-in-law, he was also implicated, and was made an excuse, first demoted to Qizhou, and later changed to Qianzhou (Ganzhou, Jiangxi) as a judge.

It seems that the official position has not changed, but the status can be said to be very different, and the place in Qianzhou was famous for its poor mountains and bad waters at that time, second only to Lingnan. Zhou Zhan, a capable minister, also stayed there after offending people, which shows that it is a good place to exile officials.

After a while. The influence of Cao's use was also eliminated. In addition, Cheng Jian also made some political achievements. He returned to the court to be a foreigner in the field. This official position was great when it was in the Three Kingdoms! However, in the Song Dynasty, it was idle, first of all, there were not many places in Tuntian, and they were all border troops, and the border troops were all thorns. To put it bluntly, this Tuntian member is an idle official position, and it is not a Jilu official, but it is not better than a Jilu official.

I did it for a few more years. This is mixed with the history of the servant. During this time, Cheng Jian has been in the career for more than 20 years.

However, he is such a person who has never been in charge alone, and has been demoted and used as an idle official for nearly ten years, but he has done things decisively and alleviated the disaster very well. He also asked the imperial court to organize the victims to repair the city walls and houses damaged by the earthquake in the form of work relief.

Although Zhao Yu couldn't get out of Songshan, he also made some moves, and took the lead in standing up and calling: "We are high-ranking officials. The income is rich, and the people's fat and people's anointment are also! There is hunger among the people today. How can I be gluttonous! ”

Zhao Yu immediately said that he would donate 10,000 yuan, not to mention, and 20,000 stones of miscellaneous grains. In a famine, food is more important than money.

Lu Yijian knew that this was Zhao Yu's demonstration against him, and Lu Yijian had to grit his teeth and donate 5,000 yuan. Don't look at Lu Yijian as the prime minister, there are many invisible industries, but he also has a big business, but he is not as wealthy as Zhao Yu. What's more, after donating so much money, you have to pretend to be poor for a while. Otherwise, you donated 5,000 yuan, and every day there are big fish and meat in the house, isn't this the subject of impeachment for those imperial histories?

Other officials also had to donate some more or less, and got a total of almost 80,000 yuan in cash, but in terms of food, Zhao Yu donated 30,000 stones. With so much money, this also made some officials have a lot of opinions about Zhao Yu, thinking that he was selling his reputation.

What the officials think is the business of the officials, but Zhao Yu has won a great reputation among the people. Song Renzong also sent an attendant to Zhao Yu to convey the oracle and reward.

Because of the earthquake, the gods said that they would change the name of the year, and Song Renzong also thought so. Jingyou's year name also ends here, in the second year of Zhao Yu's filial piety, Song Renzong changed the year name to Baoyuan, which is naturally the first year of Baoyuan.

However, for this era name, Zhao Yu was very unimpressed. Other era names have some meaning, and this era name is not without meaning, but it feels as if it was not said.

Treasure! Nature is honorable. Yuan in the Taoist meaning there is the beginning of all things, which is not the meaning of zero, but one. Taken together, it can be understood as the meaning of the supremacy of the emperor and the first in the world, and the synonym of the question emperor is not the supreme and the first in the world?

No matter how bad this era name is, the first year of Baoyuan has also begun.

A lot has happened this year, but there are only two major events worth noting.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian impeached each other, and Song Renzong simply played fifty boards each, and both of them were degraded. Seeing this, some people wondered, wasn't it Lu Yijian who recommended Wang Zeng to rise and fall back in the first place?

There is nothing wrong with this, but don't forget that Wang was once the deputy prime minister, and his ass decided everything. There have never been very few prime ministers who can be in harmony with the vice-minister, and if they are really harmonious, then the emperor will be stunned. Especially in the Song Dynasty, after absorbing the rebellion of the five dynasties, a lot of power overlapped between the prime minister and the vice minister, so Wang Zeng couldn't fight it, he didn't fight, and his vice minister was a rubber stamp. Who doesn't have a little ambition and no desire for power?

For this reason, the contradiction broke out!

Two people are degraded, who is happy? Zhang Shixun.

Doesn't that sound like a name? That's right, it's the royalist boss who took advantage of the situation after Liu E's death, and was kicked by Song Renzong because of the poor handling of the disaster relief on Jingdong East Road. However, he was Song Renzong's teacher, Song Renzong remembered the old feelings, and there was no one to use, so he promoted him up, and promoted Chen Zhizhong, the son of Chen Shu, the famous minister of Taizong and Taizu, to be the privy envoy, which can be regarded as replacing Wang Zeng's position as deputy minister.

I don't know if it was because of this blow, Wang Zeng died of illness in November of that year, and Lu Yijian was also asked to get back up and lose a roadblock.

Why?

Because Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng each played fifty boards, if Song Renzong wanted to renew one of them, he would inevitably have to worry about the other person's thoughts. Those who have been prime ministers, don't look at the derogatory, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp. And at the same time, although there are nine prime ministers in the court!

But it's also a turnip and a pit, it's better to find a pit, but find two pits. Where are you coming from?

Besides. It is the mountain that is punished. Who are the people in the mountains? Shanyu is his surname, and he also has a name, called Shanyu Weiliang, but Shi Duo is referred to as Shanyu.

He is amazing, he is Li Yuanhao's uncle, serving as the supervisor of the left wing. At that time, there were not many troops belonging to Li Yuanhao in Western Xia, and there were only three armies, the middle army, the left wing, and the right wing. The others are all tribal armies, and when they want to send troops, they will send people to each tribe to inform them, and limit the number of people each tribe will produce, and this depends on prestige.

It can be seen how high Shanyu's status is, but Shanyu is different from Li Yuanhao. Li Yuanhao thought about invading the Song Dynasty, but the mountains were not the case, and often advised Li Yuanhao, saying: "China has many soldiers, Guanzhong is rich, and Huanqing is celebrated." According to the borders, if these cities are fully prepared for attack and defense. I have nothing to do with my bow and horse skills, and I have nothing to sell for cattle and sheep, and I will be trapped in a year or two. ”

There are many large local armies in China, and Guanzhong wants money and grain. Huanqing, Yanyan these border places are very dangerous, if these states and counties all repair the city walls, mountain defense, my Western Xia good archery, horseback riding will not be able to perform. There is no way to sell cattle and sheep, and a year or two is enough for us to make Western Xia very difficult, and there is nothing we can do. It's better to be an honest vassal and get rich rewards from the Song Dynasty every year, which is the happiness of the country!

Li Yuanhao listened at first, and when he was full-fledged, he immediately became angry. In this year, Li Yuanhao obtained the permission of the Song Dynasty for the reason of seeking a Buddha statue, and the envoy passed through Hedong Road to Wutai Mountain to get an enlightened iron Buddha. It is called seeking Buddha, but in fact, Li Yuanhao sent envoys to spy on the situation along the road.

After the spy returned, Li Yuanhao decided to attack the Song Dynasty's Yan Yan Road. As mentioned earlier, Li Yuanhao's own army is not very many, but more tribal troops. In order to unify his thoughts, Li Yuanhao held a banquet on Helan Mountain, asked all tribes to come to the banquet, analyzed the pros and cons at the banquet, and persuaded the chiefs of each tribe. At the same time, in order to prevent someone from retreating, Li Yuanhao even said strongly that if anyone dares to persuade him not to attack the Song Dynasty, he will be beheaded!

When Shan Yu heard this, he did not dare to admonish, but he felt that it was a sign of destruction. I'm hesitating what to do.

At this time, Shanyu's younger brother Wei Liang came to tell the informant. It turned out that Li Yuanhao wanted to take the opportunity to kill this uncle who was not with his heart, and threatened Wei Liang: "If you accuse your brother Shanyu of rebellion, you will give you all the officials and lords of Shanyu, otherwise, you will be in danger of extinction." ”

Wei Liang had a good relationship with his brother Shanyu, and he didn't want to tell the truth, but he couldn't tell him, so he thought of a compromise way to tell his brother Shanyu this and let Shanyu escape.

Shan Yu was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care about bringing the army, but he brought his wife, children, and a few henchmen and guards, and close subordinate officials, a total of twenty-one people. There are also some good horses and treasures, and the Song Dynasty went to Nantou.

In September of the first year of Baoyuan, Shanyu and his party arrived at the Song Dynasty Security Army (now Zhidan, Shaanxi). At that time, Zhu Ji, the governor of the security army, on the one hand, sent people to settle Shanyu and his party, and on the other hand, he reported the news of Shanyu's defection to Guo Quan, the governor of Yanzhou.

Zhizhou Guo Quan attached great importance to this matter, but he was a little undecided, and discussed the matter with Li Wei, the governor of Yanzhou, overnight. In the end, they agreed that Shan Yu was Li Yuanhao's uncle, how could he surrender? It must have been Zhou Yu who beat Huang Gai and played tricks on them!

So he ordered Shanyu to be arrested, and then ordered Han Zhou, the prisoner of Yanzhou, to send troops to escort Shanyu's family to Xiazhou. When Shan Yu and others were escorted to Youzhou, Li Yuanhao got the news. However, Li Yuanhao was not happy, he was worried that the mountain encounter would attract the army of the Song Dynasty and not be sent back. Li Yuanhao personally led the army to Youzhou and prepared to start a war with the Song army, but when he arrived at the place, he was a little ignorant. Because of the empty land, the Song army did not follow behind except for the escorts, and Li Yuanhao was still a little incredulous after ordering the killing of Shanyu and the other personnel who defected to the Song Dynasty.

It wasn't until the head of Shanyu came up that Li Yuanhao laughed. "If China does not perish, how can it be justified?"

After Zhao Yu knew, the first Buddha of Qi was born, the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and the three corpse gods jumped violently, no wonder Western Xia was able to fight so fiercely with the Song Dynasty in the future! Didn't Guo Quan, and Li Wei, force the pro-Song tribe in Western Xia to come to Li Yuanhao's side? Who will dare to tell the whistle and respond in the future?

Zhao Yu vigorously impeached, three books a day.

Song Renzong felt that Zhao Yu's words were exaggerated, so he pressed them down and ignored them.

Later, after Shanyu was killed, Guo Quan, Li Wei, the two guys, actually played a persuasion to Song Renzong: "Yuan Hao is still a minister, but he can gradually yield to courtesy." ”

Li Yuanhao is still a minister, and we can slowly submit to him. The subtext is that we actually sent the mountain to meet because we didn't want to stimulate Li Yuanhao.

After knowing this twist, Zhao Yu was so angry that he shouted: "The scholar has misled the country!" Scholars mislead the country! Those who destroyed the Song Dynasty, Guo Quan, Li Weiye! ”

Zhao Yu's words were not hidden, but let his subordinates publicize them, which made the people in Henan, Bianliang and other places talk about it at that time, and the Qingzhou Mansion newspaper also hyped up the harmfulness of Western Xia.

Song Renzong didn't know if he was forced by the pressure of speech, or if he felt that Guo Quanquan and Li Wei were too weak, so he sent his inner servants to reprimand him and punish him for half a year, among which Li Wei was also demoted to the first rank.

However, in Zhao Yu's opinion, Song Renzong's actions are completely scratching the itch in his boots, as long as Guo Quan and Li Wei are still in Yanzhou, what is the use?

However, Guo Quan, feeling ashamed, asked to return to Beijing, and became an idle official in Beijing.

It's just that the big mistake has been made and can't be changed. The Great Song Dynasty established the country with soldiers, ending the disaster of five generations of warriors and promoting the economic prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty. However, because of the pedantry of these scholars, the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia had not yet started a war and had fallen into disadvantage. It also helped the internal unification of Western Xia, and the pro-Song tribe also hated and despised the Great Song because of the death of Shanyu.

If it is really Xiao He who succeeds, Xiao He who fails!

And just when Zhao Yu was annoyed and worried about reversing the disadvantage of the Great Song Dynasty, an invisible conspiracy net shrouded him. Everything is because of the hatred he attracted because of his impeachment of Guo Quan and Li Wei.

PS: I apologize here first, I actually coded the words yesterday and uploaded it, but I forgot to press publish. (VIP chapter operation is very troublesome, I have to upload, and then publish, this is okay)

Fortunately, I woke up in the early hours of the morning, and this saved the big mistake a little.

Two thousand more words today! Add last night's thousand words, and three thousand have already been repaid! Continue to work hard tomorrow, more than five thousand tomorrow! It's not about repaying 4,000, but about compensating at least 5,000 words for the book friends who support Mumu! (To be continued......)
