Since decades ago, when Zhao Kuangyin added his yellow robe, the Zhao family has changed from a meritorious family to a royal family, and then turned the Zhou State into the Song State, and the subordinates led by Zhao Kuangyin in the past have become a meritorious family. In order to avoid another civil war, Zhao Kuangyin played a glass of wine to release the military power, and put an end to the motivation of his subordinates to directly rebel.

Later, Zhao Guangyi took the position of his brother, destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty (1), and wantonly improved the status of civil officials, so that the civil system was martial, which was barely suppressed since the Tang Dynasty.

When Luo Kai first settled in Lingzhou, it was the tenth year of Zhao Guangyi's son Zhao Heng (2) controlling the imperial power...... It can be said that people's hearts began to settle down, and after stabilizing the Khitans in the north with money the year before (3), Zhao Heng felt that he was also doing a good job as an emperor, so he began to slack off a lot, and spent a lot of time pondering his Taoist beliefs.

After the **** meeting dispersed, Zhao Heng summoned Prime Minister Wang Dan (4) to the warm pavilion of the apse to discuss matters, but when he summoned Wang Dan, he also had a retinue by his side - Wang Qinruo (5), since Kou Zhun was demoted, this is also a common thing.

After the monarch and ministers sat down, Zhao Heng asked: "Zi Mingqing, when the court meeting is right, you keep signaling to me, there should be something urgent, and the secretary of state is also here, you might as well talk about it." ”

Wang Dan glanced at Wang Qinruo who was standing aside, and there was a boredom in his heart for no reason, this kind of sycophancy should not let him enter the court, but now is obviously not a good time to admonish the emperor. He took out a secret letter from his sleeve pocket with the gold paint and wax sealed, handed it to the small yellow door next to him, and motioned for the latter to present it to the emperor, and then he said softly: "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter submitted by Xin Jinyuan from Luntai, and the minister has sent someone to check the truth and truth, and the record is true and conclusive, amazing, and please read it Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Heng looked at Xiao Huangmen and put the secret letter on the table in his hand, but he was not interested in looking at it at this time, there was an important minister of state in front of him, and he couldn't help but refuse wantonly, so he had to say: "Rong Zhen will look at it later, let me tell me, what is it that makes the Qing family so concerned?" ”

At the beginning of this year, Kou Zhun was demoted to the governor of Shaanxi, Wang Dan was able to pay homage to the prime minister, Wang Dan, who was close to knowing the destiny of heaven, cherished this hard-won high position, so he said very respectfully: "The secret letter is played by the secret spies of the Luntai children's army, saying that at the end of the spring, someone came from the east of Bozhou, defeated the Western Turks, Gelulu, and the party alliance army of 80,000, and the military strength is very strong, the department is known as the descendant of the former Tang Anxi Army, and the leader's surname is Luo Mingkaixian, it is rumored that there is the courage of ten thousand people, after the Bozhou war, the number of troops has expanded to 150,000, and the number of troops is 50,000...... The secret spy said that there are many strange things in the department, and they will win every battle, and they are suspected of having the help of ghosts and gods! ”

"Huh, there is such a strange story?" Zhao Heng said with a nonchalant smile: "The Qing family is a great Confucian, Kong Sheng once had clouds, and he respected ghosts and gods and stayed away, how could he ...... today?" The Qing family also believes in ghosts and gods? ”

Wang Dan was not annoyed by Zhao Heng's laughter, but explained very seriously: "When the minister first read this secret letter, he also felt ridiculous, but the director of the spy department told the minister that the secret spy who stayed in Luntai City was from the children's army and had never submitted any false secret report...... Please also ask Your Majesty to read it carefully. ”

The prime minister said so, Zhao Heng couldn't refute his face, raised his hand and twisted the cover of the sheepskin roll from the table, took out the secret letter written on the silk silk, spread it out and saw that the dense small characters were transcribed on it, but after reading it for a while, he was not interested, and handed it to Wang Qinruo behind him, "I am a little dazzled, Secretary Ding will take a look for me." ”

Wang Qinruo was not a minister of the Privy Council in the next few years at this time, and it stands to reason that he is not qualified to read this kind of secret spy letter, but the emperor gave it to him, Wang Dan could only hold back his silence after thinking about it, but he hoped in his heart that this Wang Qinruo would better know some measure.

After a while, Wang Qinruo rolled up the silk again, handed it to Zhao Heng with both hands, and said very lightly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to worry about this matter, the words of the secret spy may be true, but with 350,000 to 80,000, the old general and Cao, Shi (6) several generals can do it, it is rumored that it is fierce, but the person who defeated is the Western Turks, Qarluq and the three coalition armies of the party, the so-called coalition forces must work together but cannot work together, and they can be divided and attacked, and the first two parts of the coalition army are rats who dare not go east since the Tang Dynasty, and the latter party is more food for His Majesty's eagle dogs, What is the reason for such ants? ”

I have to say that Wang Qinruo is indeed eloquent, a little plausible, he said it well, but Wang Dan was a little annoyed when he heard it, but before he could open his mouth to refute, Zhao Heng spoke first.

"What Secretary Ding said is reasonable, so Xiangguo doesn't have to worry about it!" Zhao Heng came to a conclusion with a smile on his face, "I can add a few words, just a few hundred thousand people are going east, and they are bound to face the Dangxiang, the Uighurs, or even the Cao clan of Shazhou, so many enemies, how can they respond?" I have hundreds of millions of people and millions of soldiers, so why worry about them? ”

The emperor had already made up his mind to ignore it, and Wang Dan could only follow the words in Nai's heart, stood up and bent down and bowed as promised, "Minister...... Obey! ”

Wang Qinruo next to him answered, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

When Wang Dan, who was not very good at physical strength, stood up straight again, he came back to his senses, only to hear the emperor's words in his ears, "Zi Mingqing and retreat to the house to rest, I want to urge everyone to compile the classics, and I will not stay at Qing's house...... Come on, the secret letter on the table is archived and sealed! ”

Emperor Shi Shiran left, leaving the chamberlain to sort out the copywriting, and the somewhat stunned prime minister Wang Dan turned around.

The major event that shook the entire Western Xinjiang became so unfazed in the imperial palace of the capital of Zhao and Song Dynasty, I don't know if outsiders know about it, do they sigh at the strength of the Song Kingdom, or sigh at Luo Kaixian's good luck?

……

In the era of no electronic communication, information transmission is the biggest trouble, and the so-called legendary flying pigeon and flying eagle are limited by various factors, and cannot be popularized after all.

Therefore, in this era, urgent encrypted letters need to be delivered by a fast horse, and it is very rare to deliver secret letters to the emperor thousands of miles away like Zhao Song, but the time is still delayed for several months.

Luo Kaixian caused waves in the western Xinjiang to thousands of miles away Zhao Song became unfazed, but the most important impact was the other three families involved, needless to say the changes within the party, the Qarluqs were the most unlucky, the city of Kashgar was originally in a frenzy because of the conquest of Khotan, but now it is Yusuf. The absence of Qadir Khan led to a fierce power struggle, because there were not many soldiers who fled back, and because of the chaos of news, the Hassan system had no backbone, and suddenly became fragmented, and no one cared about the lost Khan.

Far away in the mountains of southern Central Asia, Ghaznavid, the great emir Mahmoud, who had returned in disarray, launched a great purge, swept away more than a dozen families who were about to move and did not cooperate with his orders, and then reorganized the army, only to find that at least three years, there was no strength to go north to fight, the depressed Mahmoud calmed down when the north wind gradually rose, thinking of the broken stones flying in the sky that day, he knew that human life can be so fragile, thinking of that tall figure, his heart suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

A few days later, he gave the deployment an order to investigate all the movements of the southern dwarves, to establish a kingdom in the warm south, and to never set foot in the dry and terrible lands of the north again.

Mahmoud may be considered lucky as the leader of the tribe, he managed to get out of the north, and with his determination, he can be regarded as not having to think about the previous gains and losses for the time being.

The other king, however, is still unclear, and that is Basil II, the master of Constantinople and the emperor of the Roman Empire.

Two years ago, when he was in Bulgaria to conquer the "mob" who did not submit to the rule, he suddenly received a report that all the books of all eras in his royal library, including some precious gold and silver utensils, and even a large number of poisonous snakes guarding the books, had disappeared without a trace, except for a few traces of snake blood left in the library.

For two years, his men probed all the forces around him, whether it was the Norman barbarians in the north or the Fatimids in the south, the Thracian Italians in the west, the Armenians in the far away in the east, and the Abbasids, who were the most conflicted, and his spies sprinkled all the important nodes of the surrounding tribes.

However, for two years, nothing has come of it.

Sometimes he really wanted to believe that the gods had taken all the texts, but the scholars and apprentices of the various academies did not believe this, and for a while there were different opinions.

Fortunately, the Greek fire, which Basil II valued the most, did not leak, and his reign was not affected, at least for a short time.
