On April 7, Lu Meng was resigned. He was replaced by another benevolent brother surnamed Lu, Lu Duan. At this time, someone reminded the emperor that "Lu Duan is confused", but Zhao Guangyi said, "Lu Duan is confused about small things, but not confused about big things", and the Zhao family, the emperor who never let go of power and didn't even trust anyone, gave Lu Duan an unprecedented privilege and honor, "From now on, Chinese books must be carefully considered by Lu Duan, but they have to be heard", without Lu Duan's approval, the state official document is not allowed to play the emperor! This is the treatment that Zhao Pu didn't get in his heyday... History has proved that this 'big things are not confused' Lu Duan really lived up to the emperor's trust. On the night of the emperor's death 2 years later, it was he who thwarted the conspiracy of the great eunuch Wang Jien and Empress Li's 'second axe and candle shadow'...

On the 28th, Song Kaibao's Empress Song died. Does anyone still remember her? The queen of Taizu! This is the unquestioned queen! Great-mother is the master of the harem of the Great Song Dynasty! Her death must be followed by a state funeral in which all subjects, including the current emperor, must be mourned in silence. But the result was that Zhao Guangyi did not mourn for the imperial sister-in-law, and did not allow the courtiers to mourn their filial piety. Empress Song's coffin was moved to the home of her aunt, the eldest princess of Yan who had been dead for many years, and was buried in Puji Temple. This woman, who died alone in loneliness, did not even get the least power of the last person to die. She can't be buried with her husband, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and even her god tablet is not allowed to enter the Taimiao, which is equivalent to expelling her from the Zhao family!

There is a saying that after her death, all the threats of Zhao Guangyi's succession to his son were removed, but she was truly at ease. The implication: If she is still alive after Zhao Guangyi's death, she will be able to use her appeal to regain the throne back to the Taizu lineage.

But in historical records, except for the night when the axe sound and candle shadow, she ordered Wang Jien to summon Defang, which made Zhao Guangyi feel threatened, she never appeared again. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if she dies behind Zhao Guangyi, she is by no means the opponent of her younger sibling and that Empress Li.

The only explanation is the mind of the big slut himself. Yesterday I was thankful for. After a night, you might be furious. When I cried and said the mood of "sharing wealth and wealth together, worry-free", what will become after 20 years of worrying about external troubles?

Less than 2 months after Emperor Zhenzong ascended the throne, he posthumously crowned his uncle Zhao Tingmei, elder brother Zhao Dezhao, and Zhao Defang to compensate him. But he didn't say anything to his aunt and the dignified Empress Kaibao, and it wasn't until Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne that she promoted her god to the Taimiao. What is it all for?

There was a Hanlin bachelor named Wang Yuyan who said to the guests in private, "After tasting the mother's rites, you should follow the old etiquette", and Zhao Guangyi was furious. On May 9th, get out of the capital and go to Chuzhou to be an official!

June 11th. Zhao Guangyi sent an envoy to Li Jiqian to add the envoy of the Danzhou Festival. Let the festival make the move, this is the emperor's only way to clear the power of the feudal town, the most powerful move! Of course, this is also the second illegal and most powerful move of the feudal town to bite the emperor and change the dynasty in blood...

In the past, it was to abuse the body of party members, but this time it was changed to despise Li Jiqian's intelligence. Li Jiqian was a little angry, and the taste of being despised was too uncomfortable. Just gave me a good face, and you want my life right away? When I'm an idiot? Li Jiqian thought about it for a long time, but didn't turn his face on the spot, but replied with 3 words - no edict.

August 18th. Zhao Guangyi officially issued an edict and appointed his third son, Zhao Yuankan, the king of Xiang, as the crown prince and changed his name to Zhao Heng. At the same time, there was an amnesty for the world, and the crown prince was sentenced to Kaifeng Mansion. This is a national event. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty. In nearly a hundred years, for the first time in the Central Plains, there was a crown prince.

On the same day, Zhao Heng, the new darling of fate, left the palace and went to the royal road. Entered the temple to pay homage to the ancestors, and then appeared in front of the people of the capital, winning the cheers of the crowd "Young Son of Heaven"

This sentence immediately reached the ears of Zhao Guangyi in the inner courtyard of the deep palace. The big slut was furious. Immediately called the person who started the matter, Kou Zhun. The first sentence made people in the next thousand years denounce him for being really a tiger and wolf, and he annihilated the family "The heart of the prince belongs to the prince, and where do you want to put me" Even the power of the son has to fight, what kind of father is this?

Kou Zhun was not flustered, he straightened up his court clothes, and gave a big gift to the emperor, solemnly wishing "Your Majesty, you choose to set up the crown prince and deliver the artifact of the world." In order to have a head of the society. Now the subjects support it, it is the blessing of the society."

Zhao Guangyi did not answer. He threw Kou Zhun away, returned to the harem, and talked with his queen concubines for a while. History said that "in the harem, everyone congratulated the emperor". He just came out and left Kou Zhun behind, and the two of them got drunk that night before leaving.

At this point, Kou Zhun finally achieved the beginning and the end in the matter of canonizing the prince...

On September 24, according to the old system of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong ascended to the Yuan Palace, and the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince was held ceremoniously.

On the 27th, the crown prince had a halogen book, visited the fifth room of the temple, and rode out of the Donghua Gate in regular clothes, and ascended. At this point, Zhao Heng finally became the official successor of the crown prince of the Great Song Empire.

In the same month that the Great Song Dynasty held the crown prince canonization ceremony, Li Jiqian attacked the Great Song Dynasty again. In the historical records of that month, the Qingyuan army in the northwest reported to the Song court that Li Jiqian had invaded, had been defeated and fled.

Strong, but shameless. As long as you glance at the history of Song half a year later, you will find that this is an out-and-out lie! Because at that time, when we talked about the situation in the northwest, it was mentioned that Lingzhou, the first important place in the northwest strategy, had been besieged for more than half a year!

What a merciless truth! Li Jiqian once again openly opposed the Song Dynasty, and went directly to Lingzhou, the biggest local point, and vowed not to give up if he did not take it down. But the reaction of the Great Song Junchen at the time was: We don't know anything, we have more important things to do!

On October 12, His Majesty Taizong took out a newly made piano and showed it to the ministers. I saw that the form of this piano was the first of its kind in ancient times, absolutely unprecedented. It is no longer a seven-stringed guqin, but a nine-stringed qin. His Majesty explained to the courtiers: The nine strings are in order - the king, the minister, the literature, the military, the ceremony, the music, the righteousness, the people, and the heart. The ministers danced and saluted, and they were overjoyed.

In November, Zhao Guangyi appointed Shangguan Zheng and Lei Youzhong as Xichuan Zhao'an envoys to cooperate with Zhang Yong's work and replace the great eunuch Wang Jien.

On March 2, 996, the king of Goryeo, Wang Ji, proposed to marry the Great Khitan. The lord of Liao married him to the daughter of Xiao Hengde, a famous general who stayed in Tokyo.

In April, Zhao Guangyi ordered Bai Shourong to escort 400,000 stone grain and grass to Lingzhou, but Li Jiqian personally led the army to set up an ambush in the Puluo River, Bai Shourong's whole army collapsed, and 400,000 stone grain and grass fell into the hands of Li Jiqian.

Looking back on the recent process of resentment between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, it is completely Zhao Guangyi who did not look for trouble. He first destroyed the peaceful situation favorable to the Song Dynasty and forced Li Jiqian to rebel. And then let it go. watched Lingzhou, an important town in the northwest, being besieged by party members day and night, but they didn't pay attention to it. Everything is stupid and boring to explain.

But that's just the surface. The real situation is that the Song Dynasty has been discussing for a long time whether Lingzhou can be saved or how to save it. The most critical point is that Li Jiqian's strength has greatly exceeded the pre-estimate of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers - this siege of Lingzhou, Li Jiqian's men exceeded 10,000!

The Great Song Dynasty had missed the best opportunity to kill him, that is, the last time Li Jilong sent heavy troops to attack Western Xia. At that time, why didn't Li Jiqian fight, and fled after leaving his nest in Yinzhou? It wasn't that he was afraid of the army of the Song Dynasty at all, but because he had just swallowed the strength of his brother Li Jisheng, and he hadn't had time to digest it, he didn't dare to take such a half-baked army to gamble. But 2 years have passed, and Li Jisheng was also captured by the Song army and returned to Kaifeng. Xixia is Li Jiqian's world...

That's why we have to send so much grain and grass to the ground first. If you want Lingzhou to hold out for a while, the Great Song Dynasty also needs to prepare for sending troops. But who would have thought that Li Jiqian would be able to continue to besiege Lingzhou while having the spare strength to besiege the city and send reinforcements?

On April 4, Zhao Guangyi ordered Li Jilong to be the commander-in-chief and Fan Tingzhao to be the deputy marshal, with the troops of 10 states, divided into 5 routes, to crusade against Li Jiqian!

Li Jilong went out of Huanzhou, and Fan Ting summoned out of Yanzhou. Wang went out of Xiazhou, Ding Han went out of Qingzhou, and Zhang Shouen went out of Linzhou. And the destination of this war had been determined before the war - Wu and Baichi in the five states.

Fighting against the early Dangxiang people, it was not their combat effectiveness that angered the Han people the most. It's their war horses. Li Jiqian is erratic and mobile. A thousand years ago, the main points of the classic guerrilla strategy of "when the enemy comes, I retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance" were achieved. In a word, it's not that it can't be beaten. It's just that I can't catch it. But this time was different. The preparation of the Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly excellent, and it was actually found out in advance where Li Jiqian's lair was, which was at the point of Wu and Baichi. Just arrive. You'll find your enemies! This time, the number of Song troops dispatched was extremely large. In history, there are 30,000 vanguard troops along the way of the main general Li Jilong, plus the original garrison of the Great Song Dynasty on the Western Xia side, what kind of strength is this? All signs indicate that Li Jiqian is in a catastrophe. Even if he becomes a mosquito of the desert brand of the party, the cannons of the Great Song faction in the past can fire all over the sky and blast him down...

In May, Zhang Yu's remnant king Cormorant revolted again, proclaiming himself the king of Qiongnan. But this is the aftermath of the worst of the worst, and it was extinguished in the blink of an eye... So far, from February 993, the flame of the Shuchuan Uprising ignited by Wang Xiaobo has been completely extinguished...

On July 28, Kou Zhun, the governor of the political council, was dismissed as a magistrate in Dengzhou. It all started half a year ago. In the first month, His Majesty Taizong personally sacrificed to heaven and earth. According to the rules, after the ceremony is over, the officials begin to celebrate the festival. Each of them will be promoted to the next level, and a large number of material rewards will be added. This rule is so beautiful that it has been firmly remembered by officials at all levels, and it will be carried forward in the years to come. Until His Majesty Shenzong gritted his teeth - because he couldn't afford it anymore.

But that's okay at the moment. And the host of this year's reward is Kou Zhun. With a proud spring breeze, he got the emperor and established the crown prince, who is rare to see in a hundred years, so he was full of spirit and began to do whatever he wanted...

Fairness in rewards and punishments is the minimum criterion. But Kou Zhun didn't. Whoever I like, I will be promoted. Whoever annoys me will be unlucky. As a result, Feng Zheng, whom Kou Zhun hated, turned out to be an official who was older than Peng Weijie, whom Kou Zhun liked, but after the promotion, he was smaller than Peng Weijie.

And that's not all. In the Song Dynasty system, officials played to the emperor and had to be arranged according to the size of their official positions. You can't let the reports of your subordinates get ahead of the leaders, can you? That's when the problem arises. Since Peng Weijie has always been younger than Feng Zhengguan, the person who is responsible for the inertia of the twist and turn still puts Feng Zheng's on it. For such a trivial matter, Kou Zhun actually used the power of the deputy prime minister of the governor's office, and pressed Peng Weijie's recital on Feng Zheng with the order of the political affairs hall, and reported the matter to Zhao Guangyi, saying that Feng Zheng was too unruly.

As a result, Feng Zheng was called to scold him, but he didn't investigate further. But Feng Zheng was about to faint with anger. He's wronged!

If there is a grievance, he reported the matter of Kou Zhun Gong's personal vendetta. And the chain reaction, Kou Zhun was promoted so quickly, some people have long been red-eyed. Kang Jian jumped out - Your Majesty, Kou Zhun is in power, and no one dares to care. Lu Duan, Zhang Xun, and Li Changling were all introduced by Kou Zhun. Lu Duan was grateful to him, Zhang Xun was a tasteless flatterer, and Li Changling was a soft egg, and they didn't dare to confront Kou Zhun. That's why Kou Zhun dared to act mischief and reverse the system.

Zhao Guangyi was furious when he heard this, and there was such a thing? He didn't look for Kou Zhun, he first called Lu Duan and the others to teach them a lesson, and asked them what was going on? Li Changling and Zhang Xun were completely stupid and couldn't say a word. Only Lu Duan calmly replied, "Kou Zhun has a strong personality and always likes to make his own decisions." The ministers don't want to fight with him, then it will hurt the country's body" In fact, Kou Zhun's character is not only strong, but also arrogant, and even self-respecting! And these words also clear ourselves and others, we retreat by no means because he is our benefactor, but we don't want the ministers to quarrel, which will delay the country's major affairs. dispelled the most sensitive nerve in the hearts of the big sluts - we never formed a party because of private interests...

Zhao Guangyi thought about it, you all retreat, pass on Kou Zhun. But Kou Zhun never admitted his mistakes, and began to talk endlessly, commenting with the emperor one by one. Zhao Guangyi was helpless, and warned that "if the court argues, you will lose the body of the government" is to tell him that if you quarrel with the emperor in the main hall, this is not what the prime minister should do, it is too embarrassing! But it didn't work at all. Back then, I dared to push you down, and only let you go after I finished speaking. What's the big deal with you now? So the quarrel continued. Zhao Guangyi sighed, "The finch and the mouse still know what people want." It's a lot of people."

The day's quarrel is over. Unexpectedly, the next day, Kou Zhun intensified and made a comeback. He moved all kinds of documents from Zhongshu Province into the main hall: Your Majesty, didn't you say that I handled it unfairly? Didn't you say that Feng Zheng's bastard was suppressed? Good! You check your accounts to see if there's anything wrong...

Get lost! Zhao Guangyi didn't have the heart to answer this hairy boy who didn't understand human nature, so he demoted Kou Zhun to Dengzhou. (To be continued......)
