Eyes turned to the Great Khitan. On the eve of Yelu Longxu's death, something big happened. The Bohai uprising cast a shadow over his 'saint' nickname...

Since 926, when Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the Bohai people did not pay taxes or serve, and they have been comfortable for 100 years. However, since Feng Yanxiu, Han Shaoxun, Wang Jia and other Han people used the Han methods that ruled the 16 states of Yanyun to manage the Bohai people, they gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the Bohai people, and finally caused this great uprising.

On August 3, 1029, Yanlin, the great man of the Bohai People's Republic of China (Da is the surname of Bohai State), imprisoned Xiao Xiaoxian, a left-behind guard in Liaodong, and his wife Princess Nanyang, killed Han Shaoxun, Wang Jia, and Xiao Pode, and officially raised troops to rebel! even set the country name Xingliao (I really don't understand: since it has been anti-Liao and self-reliant, why is the country name called Xingliao) The year name Tianqing (this is also the year name used by Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi when he died in the future. With such a country name and year name, it seems that Dayan Lin is destined to not succeed) The Jurchens in the north and south, and even the Goryeo Kingdom have responded!

Before Dayan Lin raised his troops, he invited Wang Daoping, the deputy left-behind guard of Liaodong, to participate together. Wang Daoping abandoned the city and fled, and came to Heiling to report the news of the mutiny to Emperor Liao. Yelu Longxu immediately ordered all the tribes to encircle and suppress. Uncle Xiao led the troops to cut off the road to the west of Dayan Lin. Da Yanlin wrote a letter to Xia Xingmei, a defender of Baozhou and a native of Bohai, asking him to kill the commander Yelu Pugu and raise troops with him. But unexpectedly, Xia Xingmei handed over the letter to Yelu Pugu with the messenger. Yelu Pugu entered Baozhou, killed 800 Bohai soldiers, and cut off the east road of Dayanlin.

You can't advance, you can't retreat, Da Yanlin has a heart and besieges Shenzhou! The guard Zhang Jie couldn't resist and surrendered. Da Yanlin believed it to be true, and then attacked after knowing his deception, but he had missed the opportunity, so he could only return without restraint...

On October 1, Xiao Xiaomu and his uncle Xiao Pidi were appointed as the chief and deputy commanders. Xiao Punu, the king of the six tribes of Xi, was the supervisor of the army and led the army to quell the rebellion! Dayan Lin held the city, and the two sides fought a war of attrition...

On November 9th, the winter solstice, the annual routine of the Great Song Dynasty is the suburban worship ceremony. Something happened again! Nearly 3 years later, the little emperor Zhao Zhen suddenly announced: he would lead hundreds of officials to the Huiqing Hall to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday, just like the New Year's court meeting that year, and then go to the Tian'an Palace to receive the court.

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was silent. You are such a dutiful son, we have nothing to say... But slowly, it has been nearly 70 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The first three generations of monarchs have consistently treated the world's corporal doctors well, "The monarch treats his ministers as siblings." then the minister regards the king as his heart; The king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and the ministers regard him as his countrymen; The monarch regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the monarch as a hater" There is a Song generation, and the martyrs are continuous. Until the cliff mountain throws into the sea, he is still loyal and unyielding at the end of the road! Now even if Liu E can cover the sky in the court, the newly appointed ministers dare not object, but a petty official who has just returned to Beijing still stands up: Fan Zhongyan, the head of the Secret Pavilion!

Fan Zhongyan directly wrote to the 20-year-old "little emperor", "The Son of Heaven has a way to be a pro-family, and there is no gift for a minister." There is a place in the south, but there is no instrument in the north. If you are in the family. The family etiquette can also be used. Today, Gu is in the same column as hundreds of officials, losing the monarch's body and damaging the prestige of the lord, and it cannot be the law of future generations."

I don't know how the little emperor will feel after reading it. But Yan Shu was frightened. This person, who was also from a poor background but had long been accustomed to being rich and noble, urgently summoned Fan Zhongyan, "Zhongyan, do you want to kill me?" If you talk nonsense like this, it will affect me" I mentioned the obligations and consequences of the recommendation. The reason why Fan Zhongyan was able to become the head of the secret pavilion was to have close contact with the emperor in the royal library. It was completely recommended by Yan Shu. At this time, Fan Zhongyan suddenly broke into trouble and scared Yan Shu half to death. You must know that Yan Shu is talented and loves talents, and at least 1/3 of the top ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty were recommended by him. But he's just a coward. The officialdom who cherishes his life like gold.

What he wants is an official position, but what Fan Zhongyan wants is a reputation! Fan Zhongyan replied coldly: I accept your recommendation, and I am afraid that I will be incompetent every day and embarrass you. Who knew that today he would offend his disciples with his loyalty. After that, he brushed his sleeves away, and then went to the second book: directly asked the queen mother to return the power of pro-government to the emperor who was an adult and had already married!

The fold was handed over, and Fan Zhongyan sat and waited for the thunder to split the top. But left and right, the sky is clear... What the? Fan Zhongyan took the initiative to investigate, but found that his recital had not been handed in at all, and had been pressing it in the political hall!

The newly appointed ministers are all soft eggs! Fan Zhongyan was angry but helpless, the official position of the school manager of the Secret Pavilion was too low, even if he wanted to overstep his position, there was no way to speak. What should Fan Zhongyan do? He chose to take the initiative to resign, asking to demote himself from the Beijing Division. This time he got his wish, and the state reacted quickly, and he was appointed as the judge of the province of Hazhong, and he took office in the morning of the sunrise.

Fan Zhongyan went out of Beijing, and the officials who came to see him off. In the long pavilion, everyone raised their glasses to salute "Fan Jun's trip, Aurora" so far opened his ups and downs, the first light of his life.

On January 21, the 8th year of Tiansheng (1030), the famous general Cao Wei died. The Western Xia Kingdom is about to take shape...

In March, Xiao Xiaomu built a city on all sides 5 miles outside Tokyo and besieged the rebels of Dayanlin. Xiao Xiao, a concubine who was imprisoned by Dayanlin, and his sister dug a tunnel and successfully escaped, but when Princess Nanyang also wanted to escape from the tunnel, she was discovered by the rebels and killed.

On August 25, the rebel general Yang Xiangshi secretly opened the south gate, and the Liao army swarmed in. Da Yanlin was captured. The one-year Bohai Uprising was finally suppressed. On November 2, Xiao Xiaomu's army triumphed, and Emperor Liao held a celebration banquet and rewarded the generals. Soon after, Xiao Xiaomu was appointed to stay in Tokyo. Tokyo Road has passed through this military disaster, thanks to Xiao Xiaomu's good governance, and gradually recovered...

This year, the Wolves of the Northwest thrived. Li Yuanhao, the prince of the party, soared into the sky and became a dragon flying and churning in the desert, invincible and unstoppable. Cao Xianshun, the king of Shazhou, surrendered to the party, ending the 180-year history of the two families of Zhang and Cao returning to the righteous army.

The history of the Guiyi Army dates back to 851, when a Han man named Zhang Yichao recovered the land of Hehuang that had been occupied by the Tibetans after the Anshi Rebellion. He sent his brother Zhang Yize to Chang'an with the maps and household registrations of the 11 prefectures of Gua, Sha, Yi, Xi, Gan, Su, Lan, Shan, He, Kuo and Min, and went all the way to Chang'an to report the victory to the emperor Tang Xuanzong at that time. The land west of the river returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the heavenly khan had nothing to repay, so he set up a return to the righteous army, appointed Zhang Yichao as the envoy of the festival, and Cao Yijin as the long history. Later, the Zhang family declined, and the Cao family prospered. From 914 to 1002, from Cao Yijin to Cao Yanlu, there were a total of 6 Cao Guiyi Army Festival envoys. However, in the late Cao Yanlu period, the pressure on the Ganzhou Uighurs was increasing, and the Guiyi army was divided internally, and the Cao Yanlu brothers were forced to commit suicide. He was succeeded by his son Cao Zongshou. However, at this time, the strength of the Guiyi army was greatly reduced, and the Cao clan only retained 2 states of Gua and Sha. Cao Zongshou knew that he was about to decline, and he did something immeasurably meritorious before his fall, leaving his name in the long river of history. He secretly transported a total of 40,000 or 50,000 scriptures and documents collected by Buddhist temples in Gua and Shazhou to Shazhou and sealed them in the Mogao Grottoes. Since then, these precious national treasures have been preserved intact for more than 900 years and were found intact. But that's when the tragedy really began... In 1014, Cao Zongshou died, and his son Cao Xianshun became the last envoy of the Guiyi Army. Two years ago, Li Yuanhao destroyed the Uighurs in Ganzhou in World War I. Such toughness made Cao Xianshun stab in the back. Finally, in 1030, he took the initiative to surrender Li Deming to the two states of Gua and Sha.

The party obtained melons and sand and further invaded the Hexi corridor. Li Yuanhao took the lead among the three young men of the country. The youngest one finally appeared.

On June 3, the 9th year of Tiansheng (1031), the 61-year-old Emperor Yelu Longxu, the 61-year-old Emperor of the Great Khitan Holy Sect, died! The temple number is set as "Holy Sect", which is very high, there is no Han emperor, and in the entire history of China, there is another person who deserves such a temple name - Qing Shengzu Kangxi!

Throughout his life, the word 'holy' was barely used. In terms of martial arts, the alliance should be attributed to his mother. After he was pro-government. Waged war against the Goryeo, Dangxiang, Uighur, Zhubu, and Balhae tribes. Regardless of the process, the result was basically a win. In terms of cultural governance, he inherited the previous and the next, and the nomadic slavery system of the Khitan completely collapsed. He built the city of Zhongjing. 34 new tribes have been added, and all ethnic groups in the Liao State can basically coexist peacefully. Yelu Longxu is a fine horse archer, Xiaoyin law, can paint, worship Buddhism and Taoism, and translated "Bai Juyi Satire Collection" in Khitan language, and composed more than 100 songs in his life. It's versatile. He brought the Liao state to a level of civilization close to that of the Han national regime.

History proves that although the dying Yelu Longxu was very relieved of the empire under his rule, he was very uneasy about household affairs. He especially instructed Liaoxing Sect Yelu Zongzhen to "The queen has been in business for 40 years." Because she has no children, she makes you her son. I die, you must be filial to your adoptive mother" This made Zongzhen's own mother Xiao Yunjin very unhappy, and insulted the queen Xiao Bodhisattva brother in person, "Is there still anyone who spoils you now?" Wait for death."

Liao Shengzong's edict: Empress Xiao Bodhisattva is the queen mother, and the concubine Xiao Yunjin is the imperial concubine. But as soon as Liao Shengzong took a breath, Xiao Yunjin immediately tampered with the edict, proclaimed himself the queen mother, and monopolized power.

On the 25th, Xiao Yunjin conspired with his brother and Xiao Xiaoxian, a horse who escaped from the tunnel in the Da Yanlin uprising, and Xiao Tantalum and Xiao were killed. Xiao Yanliu and 7 others abandoned the city. The purpose is to uproot Brother Xiao's entire family! As for the crime, it is quite apt: rebellion! Immediately after the next step, the focus of the blow returned to the former queen and now the queen mother, Xiao Bodhisattva, no matter what, she must die! At this time, no one in the Liao Kingdom dared to resist Xiao Yunjin, only the privy envoy Xiao Pu vomited blood and wrote a letter, but it was useless. In the end, the little emperor stood up and interceded for his adoptive mother, "The queen served the first emperor and raised me, and the position of the queen mother was hers." Now the queen mother can't do it, and she has to punish the crime, this is too cruel...", but he didn't know how cruel his biological mother's nature was, and only replied to him with 8 words, "If this person is not removed, when there is a future trouble", she will die! Xingzong didn't agree no matter what, so Xiao Yunjin reluctantly escorted Brother Xiao Bodhisattva to Liao Shangjing under house arrest! But more than half a year later, I still want you Xiao Bodhisattva to die!

On the same day as the coup d'état of the Liao State, the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty began to abandon the dynasty and ban music for 7 days for the death of the Liao Shengzong.

In October, following Fan Zhongyan, Song Shou wrote: Please return the imperial power other than military affairs to Your Majesty first!

Fan Zhongyan is swallowed by a whale, and in one breath, he wants Liu E to return to the deep palace and completely retire. Song Shou is encroaching, step by step. But the result is all the same. On the 5th, Song Shou was also driven out of the capital and served as the prefect of Yingtian.

This year, Liao Xingzong sent an envoy to make Li Yuanhao the Duke of Xia and married him to Princess Xingping.

On January 3, the 10th year of Tiansheng (1032), Zhao Shu, the son of Zhao Yunrang, the adopted son of the future Song Renzong, and the emperor Yingzong, was born.

On February 26, Song Renzong's biological mother, 46-year-old Li, was named Concubine Chen. But the Li family was not blessed. Because on the same day, Concubine Li Chen died.

In the early morning of the 27th, the 23-year-old 'little emperor' Zhao Zhen accompanied his 'mother' Liu E into the main hall as usual. The curtain hung down before him, the queen mother on the left and he on the right, seated one after the other, as usual. It's a normal day, but I don't know if he was terrified and couldn't sleep last night?

In the not too short period of more than 21 years, he left a pitiful imprint. According to historical records, this emperor probably only said a dozen words, and it was completely irrelevant and had nothing to do with national affairs.

For example, when his father Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng was at the funeral, the hearse was built super huge, not to mention the city gate, even the houses along the way of Kaifeng City were in the way. So at that time, the funeral committee said: We have to demolish the city gate, then demolish the houses, and tear it down all the way to send the former emperor away safely. Liu E agreed, but Zhao Zhen, who was only 13 years old at the time, suddenly said, "The city gate can be demolished, but the houses cannot be moved"

The "benevolence" of Renzong has been manifested since childhood!

In the court, the ministers and the empress dowager repeatedly discussed matters and discussed how to deal with the affairs of this huge empire. As an emperor, sometimes he had to nod his head, and so the classics appeared. He said, "But just do it justice," and where is the justice? In his "mother's" heart... All this, this is Zhao Zhen's entire life experience so far. He is used to sitting silently next to his "mother" and being a good and dumb son. No matter what happens, his duty is to stay motionless and deaf and dumb to the end. (To be continued......)
