In March of the third year of the Dao, as recorded in history, Zhao Guangyi died. The emperor died, and the whole country was immersed in a gloomy atmosphere.

At this time, the new Poseidon arrived at Huating Yangshan Port, and Wang Bin returned to the Central Plains with the personnel from Xinhua City to open a money village in the Central Plains.

When Wang Bin and the others got off the boat, they felt this gloomy atmosphere in the air, so they couldn't help but ask why?

"The official family has died, and now the entire Great Song Dynasty is in the period of national mourning, so that's it."

The emperor died, which did not have much impact on Wang Bin and other ordinary people, but Zhao Guangyi's governance of the Great Song Dynasty for so many years was also a success, and Wang Bin and others couldn't help but feel sad about the death of this good emperor.

However, it is sad to be sad, the plan still has to continue, and it can even be said that Zhao Guangyi's death makes the plan more smoothly implemented, because although some entertainment activities are prohibited during the national funeral, there is no blowing, playing and singing, and all ringers cannot be used.

However, the imperial court did not prohibit other commercial activities, and the common people still had to eat and buy things, so the money village could still be opened as planned.

And because the Great Song Dynasty is now in the period of national mourning, the entire imperial court almost has to revolve around the succession of the new emperor, so at this time the imperial court has no extra experience in the people, and it is impossible to pay any attention to the birth of an industry that has never been seen before.

And coincidentally, the inheritance of the throne, which should have been logical, has now gone wrong, and this problem has arisen that even Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Heng have never thought of.

Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Weizheng died, coupled with Zhao Weiji's departure overseas, and the original Zhao Tingmei rebellion was disqualified, so Zhao Heng's succession to the throne should be a smooth thing.

But no one expected that Zhao Yuanzuo, who was the first to lose the possibility of competing for the throne, was dug up and pushed to the front at this time.

The cause of the incident is like this, originally Zhao Guangyi had a ** minister named Wang Jien. Zhao Guangyi likes him very much, but Zhao Heng is not interested in him, and even a little disgusted with him.

During Zhao Guangyi's serious illness, Wang Jien had a premonition that Zhao Guangyi might die soon, so out of consideration for his status, he did not want Zhao Heng to succeed him.

Judging from Zhao Heng's usual attitude towards him, once Zhao Heng succeeds to the throne, his position will definitely not be guaranteed. But if Zhao Heng does not succeed to the throne, who is qualified to succeed to the throne?

This is naturally Zhao Guangyi's other princes, such as Zhao Heng's younger brothers, but the problem comes again, that is, Zhao Heng's younger brothers are also not interested in this Wang Jien. Moreover, although Zhao Heng's younger brothers are not very old, they have reached the age of being able to understand things, and even if such a prince is helped to power by him, it is not very easy to control.

So is there a prince who is not only qualified to succeed to the throne but also has good control? The answer is yes, that person is Zhao Heng's crazy brother, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu.

Although the king of Chu is crazy, he is still alive, although there is no precedent in history, but no one has said that a madman must not be an emperor. What's more, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, is still the eldest son of the emperor, and in the current situation where the queen has no heir, Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Heng are actually the same identity.

In the case that he is not a concubine with the same identity, Zhao Yuanzuo's status as the eldest son of the emperor will be much more advantageous, so Wang Jien chose Zhao Yuanzuo.

So Wang Jien controlled Zhao Yuanzuo after contacting Li Changling, the governor of the council who also opposed Zhao Heng, and Hu Dan, so that once Zhao Guangyi died in the future, he would immediately support him.

Then coincidentally, in the days when Zhao Guangyi was about to die, Zhao Heng, who was the crown prince, was not in Bianliang City, because he replaced Zhao Guangyi, who was seriously ill and had difficulty moving, to go to the north to work in the army.

But fortunately, there were upright ministers such as Lu Duan in the court, and they were the first to notice Wang Jien's conspiracy, and they acted in advance, and on the day of Zhao Guangyi's death, Wang Jien was tricked into the palace and put under house arrest.

Then he immediately won the support of the empress (who was about to become the empress dowager), read out his posthumous photo in Zhao Guangyi's mourning hall, and was succeeded by the crown prince Zhao Heng. In addition, because Zhao Heng was going to the labor army, he was able to take over the army very smoothly, and under the escort of the army, he also returned to Bianliang smoothly.

With the blessing of the internal and external forces, Zhao Heng finally inherited the throne without danger.

……

However, although the affairs of the court and the central government are over, the outside world has not dispelled the coveting of the Great Song Dynasty because Zhao Heng ascended the throne.

Neither the Liao State nor the party wanted to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to the Great Song Dynasty to get something back. Even if you can't get anything, you all hope to add some blockage to the enthronement of the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

So both of them made a move.

The first is Liao, which has undergone a lot of changes in recent years. In addition to the number one, two, and third figures, Ren Ran is Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, Chengtian Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan and Han Derang.

The four, five, and six characters have all changed dramatically.

Yelumo became the fourth and actually the third person in the Liao Kingdom.

Because Liao Shengzong is still not in power, Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang are the actual No. 1 and No. 2 people, and the original actual No. 3 and No. 4 people, Yelu Hugo and Yelu Xian, are now gradually fading out of the court because of poor health.

So the original No. 6 person, Yelumo, gradually became the de facto No. 3 person.

And Yelu Mo, who became the number three person, did not live up to the expectations of Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang for him, when the news that Zhao Guangyi was seriously ill and could not go to the court reached Liao, Yelu Mo boldly predicted that Zhao Guangyi would die soon.

And the Liao State was also convinced of Yelumo's prophecy, so they had already begun to prepare, and once Zhao Guangyi died, they would launch an attack on the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible.

Also on the party side, Li Jiqian, who has been overwhelmed by Li Jilong and Li Jiguang, is also ready to take this opportunity to do something.

In the past few years, due to the activity of Li Jilong and the mature Li Jiguang, Li Jiqian has lived very miserably in the northwest. Especially when Li Jilong turned all his energy to the Song-Liao border in the north, and Li Jiguang guarded the northwest alone, Li Jiqian had a worse time than before.

Because Li Jilong's use of soldiers can be described as focusing on the positive, supplemented by the odd, he does not use too many soldiers, more often it is yang or directly crushing the opponent with absolute strength.

However, Li Jiguang is different, he was originally a halfway monk, and he is not too good at those serious strategies, but he has a lot of ghost ideas, plus Li Jiguang was originally a person under Zhao Weiji, and his style of using soldiers has been seriously influenced by Zhao Weiji, and Zhao Weiji's style of using soldiers is practical.

Its practical and practical use of Zhao Weiji's soldiers can be regarded as compliments on him, if you accurately describe Zhao Weiji's style of using soldiers, it is useless style, as long as he can win, he doesn't care about using any means, conspiracy and conspiracy can be. He doesn't care about face, as long as he can win, he will also adopt Xiaobing's idea.

Therefore, he was able to poison the boss in the big war, or tolerate Li Jiguang to steal the city when he captured Langzhong instead of saving the army.

Because victory is the only goal he seeks.

Li Jiguang, who was influenced by this kind of thinking, also adopted pragmatic measures when dealing with Li Jiqian. When he was in the northwest town, he was not completely passive in defense, but often sent troops out of the city to visit the possible habitat of the Dangxiang clan for a few laps, harass them, and then retreated.

Li Jiguang also made a move similar to the fortified wall in the northwest, he counted all the land that could grow crops, and then strictly calculated the harvest time, once the harvest could be harvested, all the crops were harvested immediately, and the people of the Dangxiang clan were not given any chance to take advantage of it.

Moreover, Li Jiguang not only accurately calculated the land under his control, but also investigated the land controlled by the party members, and once it was time for them to harvest, he immediately sent troops to harass them, and once the party members were a little lax, a year's efforts might be in vain.

So in the past few years, the party members have hated Li Jiguang so much.

However, fortunately, in the second year of Zhidao, that is, last year, Li Jiqian finally got a chance to breathe when Li Jiguang returned to Beijing to report on his work, and then he immediately attacked the troops that transported the baggage to Lingzhou and captured nearly 400,000 stone of grain.

This grain has finally alleviated some of the difficulties of the party in the past few years.

However, the price after getting these grains was also heavy, and after Li Jiguang returned to the northwest, he directly drove Li Jiqian's Dangxiang tribe out of their original place of residence for more than 100 miles to a place closer to the desert.

But now it's okay, due to the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, these major generals stationed abroad must return to Beijing to show their loyalty.

Li Jiguang, who has been guarding the northwest alone for many years, is naturally among them, so as soon as the news of Zhao Guangyi's death reached the northwest, he immediately set off to return to Beijing.

As soon as Li Jiguang left, the troops who stayed in the northwest to guard were the troops who had just come over, and the military generals who stayed behind were stunned, at this time, Lingzhou and other places in the northwest were like a naked girl in Li Jiqian's eyes, which made this guy who had been holding back for a long time a little unbearable.

Of course, at the same time as Li Jiguang returned to Beijing, Li Jilong also left the northern Song-Liao border and returned to Beijing. At this time, the Liao people and Li Jiqian had the same idea, that is, they didn't have to endure it anymore in the face of a naked girl, just go directly.

However, both sides thought well, but neither succeeded. It was not because these two sides were incompetent, nor because of the full preparation made by the Great Song generals before returning to Beijing, none of these things happened.

The reason why neither side succeeded was because these two sides actually took the lead in fighting themselves.
