"Long live the Great Song!"

"Long live the Great Song!"

Outside the imperial city, there was a sea of people, and the people shouted outside the imperial city, waving their arms, shaking their fists vigorously, and venting to their heart's content. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For hundreds of years, the Song Dynasty pressed the Liao State, defeated more and won less, and rarely won battles. Tens of thousands of beheadings like this have never been done in the land of Yanyun, and the people can't be happy.

It can be said that this was one of the most important victories of the Song Dynasty since its founding. can be compared, perhaps only the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Northern Han, and the Pingshu these achievements.

Song Shenzong ran very fast, as if he was flying, with a look of excitement on his face, shaking his fists while running, shouting "Long live the Great Song Dynasty", although there was only one person, his roar was extremely loud, and it spread far away.

"Long live the Great Song!" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gongzhu followed closely behind, also waving their arms and shouting, tears gushing out of their eyes involuntarily.

This is a national event, and even those oppositionists such as Lu Gong are overjoyed in the face of victory, and at this moment, he temporarily pressed the party dispute, and some were only happy.

Song Shenzong appeared on the imperial city, and the joy reached its peak, and the people erupted into a tsunami-like cheer, "Long live the Great Song Dynasty!" Long live the official family! ”

The roars came one after another, wave after wave, and I don't know how many people were roaring. Bianjing has a population of more than one million, and more than a million people roared, what a momentum, it was too shocking.

"Long live the Great Song!"

At this time, Song Shenzong shook his fists, waved his arms, and roared with the strength of milk. At this moment, Song Shenzong was not the majestic emperor of Mu Mu, but a hot-blooded man with a face full of joy.

This victory was of great significance to Song Shenzong. The reason why it is of great significance is not because it is a victory, but because he has found a way to break the Liao and destroy the Western Xia and unify China.

The Song Dynasty was weak, unable to resist foreign enemies, pressed and beaten by foreign races, and could not unify the world. For this reason, many people want to change, and ministers like Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng want to reform, but they have not implemented it. In the period of Song Shenzong, Song Shenzong decided to change, enrich the country and strengthen the army, break the Liao and destroy the Western Xia, and complete the great cause of unification.

To this end, he appointed Wang Anshi as the prime minister and implemented the new law. However, he himself concentrated his energies on dealing with military affairs, reforming the army, and wanted to increase the combat effectiveness of the army. However, he has been busy for many years, but he has achieved little success, and he has never found the direction of army reform.

Until Wu Ji led the Converts army to rob the New Year's coins, winning more with less, and attacking the crowd with outnumbered, the Converts army showed extraordinary combat power, which made Song Shenzong see hope. This is just a hope, whether it can be vigorously implemented, it needs to be further verified. An army of thousands of people can fight, not necessarily tens of thousands of troops. To this end, he decided to first raise an army of tens of thousands to try.

What he didn't expect was that this test led to a great victory for Yanyun, killing more than 73,000 Liao troops.

This is clear proof that Wu Ji is in the right direction, and he can completely train troops in this way in the future. If it goes on like this, it won't be long before the Song Dynasty will have hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops that can fight well, and at that time, it will not be a problem to break the Liao State and destroy the Western Xia.

This is Song Shenzong's dream, and at this moment, Song Shenzong's excitement is far beyond what can be described by pen and ink.

"Long live the Great Song!" Under the guidance of Song Shenzong, the people of Bianjing shouted to their heart's content to express their joy. I don't know how long it took to roar, but Song Shenzong's joy was just a little bit.

Song Shenzong came down from the imperial city and said loudly: "Go to the Taimiao." ”

There are Taimiao in all dynasties, which is the most sacred place in a dynasty, and all major events must be sacrificed to Taimiao. Such a big victory, it is time to go to Taimiao, Wang Anshi and they are busy Zhang Luo, and soon, they are ready, and the forbidden army guards Song Shenzong and rushes to Taimiao.

"Come too!" Song Shenzong beckoned to Wang Anshi.

went to the temple to pay respects, it was the supreme glory, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong were very happy and hurriedly followed.

The temple is located in the northeast of Bianjing and is surrounded by brick and stone ditches. The group came to the Taimiao, the Praetorian Guards and eunuchs were waiting outside the Taimiao, and Song Shenzong led Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gongzhu into the Taimiao.

There are two main parts of the building of the temple, one is the hall and the other is the room. Each room usually houses the shrines of emperors and empresses from Song Taizu's great-grandfather to the emperors and empresses.

The first generation of gods faces east, and the rest of the generations face south or north respectively in the order of the so-called "zhao" and "mu". In the event of a major ceremony, the gods must be carried to the hall, the first generation of gods in the center, and the rest of the gods and gods are arranged on both sides in the order of "zhao" on the left and "mu" on the right, all facing south.

Each deity has a room dedicated to the deity. There is a gum in front of the shrine, which is covered with purple silk, and incense is lit in the incense burner, and the fragrance is lingering, and it has a solemn atmosphere.

Under the leadership of Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi went to worship in various rooms, and finally came to the throne of Song Taizu, and said: "I don't want to tell the spirit of Taizu's official family in the sky: Gong Wei Taizu's official family is heroic and martial, conquers the south and the north, flattens the hypocrisy, starts a business, and establishes the foundation of the Song Dynasty for eternity." However, the Khitan was rampant, the Western Xia Ling invaded, and the Great Song Dynasty was not peaceful, and for more than 100 years, the ministers were too great! Fortunately, the official family of Taizu was blessed by the spirit of heaven, and the soldiers used their lives, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty entered the Liao realm, killed more than 73,000 Liao troops, and captured countless grains, grass, gold and silver! The minister Sun Xuan told the Taizu official family again in the spirit of the sky! ”

"Knock knock!"

Song Shenzong kowtowed vigorously, his forehead touched the ground, making a "dong dong" sound, and a green bag rose on his forehead. However, he was still prostrating desperately.

Wang Anshi and the three of them kowtowed a few times, and when they found that something was wrong, they hurriedly pulled Song Shenzong: "Official, please get up quickly!" Hurry up, please! ”

"Let go! Let go! Song Shenzong was reluctant to get up, and said loudly: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been such a big victory, I want to kowtow, Xie Taizu's official family protects it!" ”

How dare Wang Anshi and the three of them let him kowtow again, you pulled me and dragged me, and finally pulled Song Shenzong up, only to see that Song Shenzong had a green bag on his forehead, which was oozing blood.

"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!" Lu Gong hurriedly ordered.

"No, you don't!" Song Shenzong waved his hand to stop it, and said happily: "What is this injury?" Compared to the bloody battles of the soldiers, farts are not! ”

Song Shenzong actually burst into foul language, which was really unexpected, and Wang Anshi and the three couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Let's go! Follow me to the Taizu Oath Monument. Song Shenzong flicked his sleeves and strode into the head.

"Taizu Oath Monument!" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gongzhu exclaimed in surprise.

It is rumored that Song Taizu once left an oath monument, but no one knew about it, it was the top secret of the Song Dynasty, and only the emperor could see it.

"You have to remember, when you get out of the Taimiao, forget about the oath monument!" Song Shenzong raised his eyebrows and said in an unquestionable tone: "If there is even the slightest leakage, I will destroy your nine clans." Taizu Oath Monument, except for me, no one in the world has seen it, you have to remember it. ”

This is a great honor for the three of them, all of them are happy and silent, and they all lead the order.

Under the guidance of Song Shenzong, he came to a secret mezzanine room in the Taimiao. The door of the mezzanine room was locked, and the closure was very tight, and Song Shenzong ordered someone to open the lock, pick up a candle outside the door, and push the door in. He also ordered Wang Anshi to take the incense outside the door and insert the incense case.

After the incense case, there is a thing covered with a golden yellow curtain, Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi and they knelt and worshipped, unveiled the yellow curtain, revealing the oath tablet left by Song Taizu that year.

The oath monument is about seven or eight feet high and more than four feet wide, and there are three lines of oath on it. The first line reads: "The descendants of the Chai family shall not be punished for their crimes, even if they commit rebellion, they shall be given death in prison, and they shall not be tortured and killed in the downtown area, and they shall not sit together with their subordinates." ”

The second line reads: "Thou shalt not kill the ministers, the scholars, or the speakers." ”

The third line reads: "The descendants have this oath, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”

Looking at the oath monument, Wang Anshi suddenly said: "No wonder for so many years, the official family has given them more preferential treatment to Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gong, no matter what they did, they did not kill their heads." It's a pity that it's hateful, Sima Guang opposes the new law under the guise of writing and saying things, which is really cunning. ”

Lu Gongzhu looked at the oath monument, and suddenly realized: "Sima Guang has repeatedly said that no matter what happens, you must write and say things, don't go other ways, it turns out that this is a talisman." Hehe, with this talisman, I can let go of my courage to speak and say things in the future, and I won't have to worry about my surname. ”

Looking at the oath monument, Wang Anshi and Lu Gongshu had different feelings.

At this moment, Song Shenzong knelt down, kowtowed to the oath tablet, and said: "Taizu's official family is above, and Sun Xu, a minister who is not a minister, respectfully tells Taizu's official family to be in the spirit of the sky, and the soldiers use their lives to enter the Liao realm to plunder, and kill more than 73,000 people, and become a great victory that the Great Song Dynasty has never had!" This army is armed with swords, thunderbolts, and everyone riding horses, which is called a new army, and the minister Sun Xuan is determined to form such a new army in large numbers. The ministers and grandsons are afraid that the ministers of the court will oppose the old ways, resulting in the loss of a good opportunity, and if there are those who oppose this matter under the guise of words and letters, the ministers and grandsons will have to be killed! If there is a matter of heaven and earth, the ministers and grandchildren will bear it! ”

After praying, I kept kowtowing to the oath monument, and there was a bang.

This voice was like thunder in his ears, and Wang Anshi was very happy, and from then on, the ministers who opposed the new law had to weigh it carefully. In the past, they could try their best to oppose the new law under the guise of writing and saying things, and Song Shenzong could not kill them. From then on, it was different, and Song Shenzong was determined to start the killing ring.

Lu Gong listened to it in his ears, as if the end had come. He just understood the reason and was ready to do everything possible to oppose the new law, but he didn't expect Song Shenzong to say such a thing, which was to warn them in front of these oppositionists, to be honest in the future, if you still dare to make irresponsible remarks like before, push back and obstruct, find all kinds of excuses to oppose the new law, oppose the formation of a new army, you have to weigh and weigh how many heads you have.

What made him even more shocked was that Song Shenzong stood up, looked at Lu Gongzhu, and said, "Lu Gongshu, you can tell Sima Guang about today's matter." ”

Regardless of Lu Gongshu's reaction, Song Shenzong flicked his sleeves and walked away. Leaving Lu Gongzhu, he stood on the ground like a wood carving mud, and the cold sweat on his forehead trickled down.
