In the eighth year of Tiansheng, it was still very hilarious for Zhao Zhen, not only was all aspects of the country moving forward according to the plan, but his wife also conceived a child for herself.

Also as hilarious as him are Xia Guogong Li Yuanhao and Brother Liao Guona, in addition, there is a hidden guy who also dances very happily.

Because Zhao Zhen planned to play thick and thin, his main focus was on domestic development, and his intervention in Xia Liao was limited. Therefore, at this moment, the situation of the Xia, Song, and Liao kingdoms has basically taken shape. It's just that Li Yuanhao has not yet been proclaimed emperor, and he is still nominally dependent on the Song and Liao countries.

Originally, in history, the Song and Liao countries did not take Xia in their eyes, which gave him an opportunity. However, because of the arrival of Zhao Zhen and his wife, they have secretly made some preparations to beware of Li Yuanhao.

But the Liao State is still degrading according to its original trajectory, and it should be said that it is degrading faster than the original. The Liao State, which has always regarded itself as the boss, seems to have never been worried about external threats, and the Liao Shengzong and even the high-level leaders of the Liao State are very concerned about their domestic status. Moreover, because of some problems left over from history, the Liao State has not stopped over the years, and it is common to fight wars.

Take Liao Shengzong as an example, when he first ascended the throne, it was still his mother's regent in the dynasty at that time, and he was not yet in power, but at that time, Liao began to fight with Goryeo, but later due to climate reasons, the transportation was inconvenient, so it was forced to stop. Then he fought with the Northern Expeditionary Corps of the Song Dynasty, but the result naturally ended in the defeat of the Song army, and the Song Dynasty was reduced to the second child. Then he taught the surrounding small tribes one by one, subdued everyone, and established his position as the boss, which stopped a little.

All in all, Liao Shengzong's life was a life of fighting, which accumulated immortal prestige for him, and of course, it was also accompanied by some arrogance.

During the reign of Liao Shengzong, because Liao itself was still in a semi-feudal slave society, this imperfect system made the rebellion movement within Liao more active, but Liao Shengzong killed them one by one.

The most recent large-scale rebellion, just two years ago, an uprising against the Liao court broke out in Tokyo, an important town of the Liao Dynasty and one of the five capitals of Liao, led by Da Yanlin. This uprising, which lasted for a year, affected almost the entire eastern Liaodong region, and many small tribes also participated in it, and later the famous Jurchen was also among them, which can be described as the largest anti-Liao uprising in the Liao Shengzong Dynasty.

However, because Zhao Zhen signed a disarmament agreement with Liao Shengzong, Liao Shengzong transferred back hundreds of thousands of troops from the border, which also made it easy for him to suppress Da Yanlin's rebellion, and it took less than a year before and after, and this speed can almost be recorded.

However, this battle emperor, in the eighth year of the Heavenly Sage, finally couldn't withstand the invasion of time, and walked to the end with a body of glory.

The moment the news came from the secret saucer, Zhao Zhen's face showed a complicated expression, and after a long time, it all came down to a long sigh.

"Summons the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and all officials above the third rank to meet me!" Zhao Zhen put down the information and shouted to Xiao Shunzi.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Xiao Shunzi received the order, he hurriedly ran towards the place where the ministers were working.

"Pass on the emperor's message! All officials of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War above the third rank will be present immediately! ”

Zhang Yaozuo and Yang Zongbao were stunned for a while, but they didn't react, what kind of crazy man is this emperor, he has nothing to do to make such a big battle.

Xiao Shunzi: "Adults, let's go!" ”

"Uh, good! You guys, come here in a hurry. Zhang Yaozuo hurriedly ordered a few of his subordinates and followed Xiao Shunzi to fart.

Yang Zongbao also wandered behind with his own people.

"See the emperor!" Zhang Yaozuo and Yang Zongbao shouted respectfully with a few of their subordinates.

Zhao Zhen: "Everyone's excuse me! ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Zhao Zhen: "Well, it's a bit big today!" I have received the news that the Liao Holy Sect had died a few days ago. ”

"Huh?" "Huh?" Zhang Yaozuo and Yang Zongbao couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Although my Great Song Dynasty has a lot of grievances with the Liao State, it is still peaceful in the Liao Shengzong Dynasty as a whole. I personally regret his death, and after their messenger of mourning comes, we Song Guo still have to express it strongly. Well, of course it's a matter for the Ministry of Rites. I am calling you here to tell you about my next stage of planning. ”

Zhang Yaozuo and Yang Zongbao responded together: "Please ask the emperor to order!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "According to the report of the secret agent, the Xia people are becoming more and more restless, in the past, I and Song and Liao suppressed it, and Li Yuanhao's kid can only be in the northwest. However, because of the death of the Liao Shengzong, there was also a great instability in the Liao State, and it is said that although his two younger sons were not very old, they did not stop for a day. I am worried that there will be some variables within the Liao Kingdom, and in order to prevent accidents, we must make all preparations in the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, I ordered that the Privy Council should prepare for the formation of a military intelligence bureau to conduct military intelligence reconnaissance of Liaoxia and surrounding forces, and to order all armies in the frontier to remain vigilant; The military department seized the time to raise military supplies, and it was necessary to ensure the needs of the Blue Dragon Corps and the second batch of field corps that were still in training. All in all, I want you to ensure that you can mobilize more than 100,000 troops to fight at any time. ”

"Your Ministers obey!" Zhang Yaozuo and Yang Zongbao responded first.

Then, Yang Zongbao hesitated again, but still asked: "Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to ask, are you planning to use troops abroad?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Elder Yang is too worried, I'm just in case." Besides, I'm a lover of peace, so how can I use soldiers casually! ”

Ghost Letter!

However, since Zhao Zhen didn't say it, Yang Zongbao didn't ask anymore, and it was good to understand some things in his heart.

And after Zhao Zhen finished assigning the task, he pushed these ministers back, and Zhao Zhong got out of the room: "Your Majesty, I don't know if the ministers have a question, can you ask?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Ask!" ”

Zhao Zhong: "Then the minister can ask!" We already have a lot of secret agents in our Guoan Temple, why do you want the Privy Council to set up a military intelligence bureau? Could it be that the minister did something wrong? ”

Zhao Zhen patted him on the shoulder: "You think too much, after all, your Guoan Temple is my last guarantee, and there are some things that are inconvenient for the minister to know." Besides, once there is a real war, it will be a waste of time to rely on you to transfer information, so I let them set up a special intelligence group by themselves, which is also convenient for the army to command, and it is not good to waste fighters. ”

Zhao Zhong nodded: "I see, the minister understands!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "By the way, I'm worried that Zhang Yaozuo and those people don't have experience in this area, so it's better for you to send a few people from you to help them build a fight." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will arrange it!" After Zhao Zhong finished speaking, he hid back.

……

"Lord Wang, your subordinates are incompetent! Please! Wang Qiu knelt in front of Li Yuanhao and shrugged his head.

"Oh?" Li Yuanhao glanced at him: "Don't kneel, get up and talk, what are you doing here?" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Wang Qiu kowtowed before standing up: "The people we arranged in Liao Country have sent news that the Liao Holy Sect died a few days ago......"

"Huh?" Li Yuanhao stood up abruptly and interrupted Wang Qiu's words: "What time is this?" Why hasn't this king heard about it? ”

Wang Qiu: "Aren't you busy reorganizing the army and just come back!" ”

Li Yuanhao: "Uh...... Right, right! Tell me about it, what is the specific situation? Do we have any chances? ”

Wang Qiu: "If you go back to the prince, your subordinates are incompetent!" The people we sent had already provoked Yelu Chongyuan's little kid to launch a coup d'état to rob his brother Yelu Zongzhen's seat, but I didn't expect to run out of Chen Biting Jin halfway, so that the ideas of those two little boys were frustrated, and our wishes were not achieved. ”

Li Yuanhao: "Who?" ”

Wang Qiu: "It's the biological mother of these two little children, we didn't expect that this woman named Xiao Yunjin was still hiding quite deeply, she had already secretly recruited cronies and cultivated power." Before his death, Liao Shengzong originally wanted to establish Yelu Zongzhen on the throne, but he was secretly hidden by Xiao Yunjin, a woman, and established himself as the queen mother, stealing military and political power. Now Yelu Zongzhen has also become a puppet, and the two brothers have become real difficult brothers. ”

Li Yuanhao said with disdain: "Is there no man in the Liao Kingdom, according to the fact that you let a woman gain power, you don't have to blame yourself, according to this king, it may be more beneficial for us to let a woman toss the Liao Kingdom!" ”

Wang Qiu: "What does the prince mean, let's just do it?" ”

"No, no, no!" Li Yuanhao shook his head: "Since you have put so much effort into placing people next to Yelu Chongyuan, you can't just waste it." Since Yelu Chongyuan's power is now at the most disadvantaged, let him be a '-stirring stick' and make some tricks between Xiao Yunjin and his brother! ”

Wang Qiuyin smiled and nodded: "My subordinates understand!" The subordinates are going to pass the word to them! ”

"Wait!" Li Yuanhao stopped him: "The reorganization of the army on this king's side is almost over, and the preparations that should be prepared are almost ready, what do you say you want to give to this king?" This king is still waiting to ascend the throne! ”

Wang Qiu bowed down and said: "Lord Wang, the subordinates are still training the dead soldiers you sent, and they are making the final preparations for this operation, in order to be foolproof, the subordinates dare not be careless!" ”

Li Yuanhao: "That's good! This king believes in you again! Go ahead and do it, and the king will also have to gather some troops just in case. ”

Wang Qiu: "Yes, Lord Wang! ”

……

Soon after, the mourning envoys sent by the Liao State also arrived in the Song, Xia and the surrounding small countries, and everyone also sent a grand mission to mourn, and at the same time expressed their recognition of the existing regime of the Liao State, and what should everyone do in the future.

However, Xiao Yunjin, a woman, is not satisfied with her current situation, she herself knows that her position is not justified, and the legitimate Queen Mother Xiao Bodhisattva is still sitting there, which will be a hidden danger to herself sooner or later.

So, she gathered her henchmen and began to fabricate some unnecessary charges, framed Xiao Bodhisattva and his brother for rebellion, and put Xiao Bodhisattva's two brothers to death. After cutting out Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's right-hand man, Xiao Yunjin sent someone to assassinate her, she was humiliated and committed suicide with hatred.

This big case was planned by Xiao Yunjin, which implicated more than 100 guards, and more than 40 noble ministers were also killed, and their family property was confiscated. After solving the biggest obstacle of Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, Xiao Yunjin became even more bold and reckless, as long as someone in the court was more against her, they were all degraded, and even Xiao Pu was kicked out of the court because of Brother Bodhisattva's complaint.

What made everyone even more dissatisfied was that Xiao Yunjin, an arrogant woman, actually ordered the puppet emperor Zong Zhen to give her the title when Liao Shengzong was not full of discouragement. This incident not only discredited her in the Liao State, but also aroused the disgust of the Great Song Dynasty officials, who have always regarded themselves as a great country of etiquette. Even Zhao Zhen didn't expect that this incident would make his future military operations less opposed.

Of course, that's all for later!

And at this moment, Xiao Yunjin is still working hard to die, in order to expand her influence, she not only divided her younger brothers into kings, but also made more than forty slaves become high-ranking officials.

Sounds ridiculous!

No! Xiao Yunjin will let the world understand what it means to be the most absurd, only more absurd!

It is said that Xiao Yunjin's sister, Mrs. Qin Guo, died of a man at an early age, which caused her to be lonely and often stealing. This is nothing, people's instincts, at most accuse others of not abiding by women's morals. However, Xiao Yunjin is wonderful, she saw that the king of Changsha, Xie Jianu, was handsome, so she killed his wife and married her sister to him.

Coincidentally, Xiao Yunjin has done this kind of thing more than once, her sister Mrs. Jin Guo took a fancy to Geng Yuanji, a talented household envoy, and Xiao Yunjin killed his wife and forced him to marry his sister.

This is simply a nerve to challenge the subjects of Liao!

In less than a year, Xiao Yunjin almost abolished the feudal reform measures of Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu, and caused many contradictions within the ruling group.

When these deeds reached Li Yuanhao's ears, he laughed wildly and rewarded Wang Qiu fiercely, not only giving him gold and silver treasures, but also rewarding him with ten beauties in one go, two of which he had played by himself, which made Wang Qiu in the limelight among the Xia people for a while.

And when Zhao Zhen shared these jokes with Zhang Rou, it was just a joke to coax his wife, watching Zhang Rou's belly get bigger day by day, he couldn't care too much about those messy things. (To be continued.) )
