Even if the Tang Dynasty fell to just a piece of grass in the hands of Zhu Wen, they all humbly called themselves "Li" and once the Han people were in the middle of the uprising, they immediately sent tribute and surrendered to Zhao Kuangyin. This generational consciousness of surrender did not dissipate until the rise of the party leader Li Jiqian, and Li Deming did not dare to go beyond Lei Chi by half a step... There is the truth of the emperor, but he does not dare to call the name of the emperor!

But Lee Won-ho doesn't. With the help of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, Li Yuanhao completed the last practical thing before the founding of the emperor: improve the official system: Wei Ming Shouquan, Zhang Zhi, Yang Kuo, Xu Minzong, and Zhang Wenxian were the main conspirators; Zhong Dingchen Documents; Cheng Pu Ke and Cheng Cheng are the main soldiers and horses; Yeli Renrong is the master of Fanxue (except for the two party members of Wei Ming and Yeli, the rest are Han Chinese)

There are also 18 military supervision divisions: 70,000 people from Hebei to Wo Luo Niang Mountain, in order to prepare for the Khitan. 50,000 people in Hongzhou, Baibao, Anyanzhou, Luoluo, Tiandu, and Weijingshan in Henan Province to prepare for Huanqing, Zhenrong, and Yuanzhou. 50,000 people on Youzhou Road in the left chamber to prepare for Yanyan, Lin and Fu. 30,000 people on Ganzhou Road in the right chamber to prepare for Xifan and Huifu. Helan garrisoned 50,000 troops, Lingzhou 50,000, and Xingqing Mansion 70,000 people, guarding the town. A total of more than 500,000. And the bitter battle leans on the mountain. The mountain slanderer, Hengshan Qiang also. Xia Bing is soft and brittle, not as good as it. Choose 5,000 people from the Hao clan to bow and horse, the number is six straight, and the month is 2 stones. Iron cavalry 3,000, divided into 10 parts. Send troops to summon the chieftain with a silver medal, and the face is bound. Create 16 divisions in Xingzhou, to the general public affairs.

Li Yuanhao's cunning and ferocity have been raised to the height of majesty...

On March 1, the 5th year of Jing Yu (1038), Han Yi, Shi Zhongli, Wang Sui, and Chen Yaozuo of the Old People's Gang were dismissed together. In the new list, Song Renzong is still dictatorial and does not use any of what Han Qi said. Prime Ministers: Zhang Shixun, Zhang Dexiang; Governors: Cheng Lin, Wang Hao, Li Ruogu; Privy Envoys: Wang Deyong, Sheng Du; Deputy Privy Councillors: Chen Zhizhong, Wang Bowen; Three envoys: Xia Zhu.

"Long Tu fell in tears" Wang Bowen finally ranked in the two mansions, as the ruler. But the good days were short-lived, and just 36 days later, on April 7, the man died in the Privy Council. Lost the gate of the two mansions" is amazing, this person's original pain was foreseen? On the 9th, he was succeeded by Zhang Guan.

On April 3, due to the death of Princess Xingping, Liao Xingzong sent Yelu Shucheng to ask her concubine, Li Yuanhao, the king of Xia. But in fact, the relationship between the couple has always been not harmonious, Li Yuanhao has never taken this Khitan princess to heart, not to mention that now he is planning to call the emperor the great cause of founding the country, so he sent Yelu Shucheng away after a perfunctory look. This also laid the groundwork for the evil of Liaoxia...

September 16th. On the eve of Li Yuanhao's claim to be the emperor's founding, his uncle Wei Mingshan suddenly surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty. The uncle is both wise and brave, loyal and loyal, and has always been Li Yuanhao's right and left hand. But helping him fight the war and helping him build the country are two different things. So he was faithful and kept admonishing: Don't rebel. Li Yuanhao did not turn his face, but said a few words to another uncle, Wei Mingweixu, and asked him to falsely accuse Wei Mingshan of rebellion. Well, there is a regular reason to cut people.

Wei Mingshan got the news first, and took the whole family to increase the number of treasures, and more importantly, Li Yuanhao's rebellion to the Song Dynasty. It is said that this person must be kept no matter what, and he will be sent to the capital immediately. At least it's a living map. All the information of the Western Xia army is in his head, priceless!

However, it was not uncommon for Guo Quan, the governor of Yanzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and Li Wei under the jurisdiction of Yan Lujin in the Great Song Dynasty, and he actually sent Wei Mingshan back to China and returned to Li Yuanhao. As a result, Shanyu's family was shot dead at the Song-Xia border. let the party see the end of the traitor clearly, and even more clearly see the mediocrity and cowardice of the Song Dynasty.

On November 12, Feng Shenji put down the rebellion of the barbarians in Anhua, Guangxi.

November 18, 1038, the first year of Baoyuan. One of the grandest suburban ceremonies of the Renzong Dynasty began. This involves the efforts of too many officials and the emperor's own experience of the work of the Chinese-style emperor. i.e. the importance of etiquette.

Etiquette is actually pomp, that is, what kind of people are illustrated with what kind of pomp. The ancient Chinese believed that as long as the pomp and hierarchy of all strata were well defined, then there would be order, and the legal system would also exist. Only by relying on this to manage can the people avoid or even put an end to armed rebellion, and there are the following mistakes, big and small. Unlike the barbaric Western society, their religion is aimed at power, and they call on their followers to invade other countries as a means to plunder wealth, such as the Crusades.

Such a profound understanding will be really carefully dissected and dug into the works of Master Sima in the future, and summarized into a collection to educate future emperors, what is the most important, that is, the emperor can have no army, no economy, no everything, as long as there is etiquette, everything is worry-free "Therefore, it is said that the duty of the Son of Heaven is greater than etiquette" - the opening words of the first volume of "Zizhi Tongjian".

After a lot of hard work, the ceremony was held as scheduled, brilliant and grand, very successful, and an exciting decision was promulgated at the conference site. The emperor decided to change the yuan: Bao Yuan.

The etiquette is so big, the guests from all over the world are served, all the countries come to the court, and the arrogant and untamed party item Li Yuanhao also wrote a congratulatory watch from thousands of miles away. The Great Song Dynasty monarch and minister began to read carefully, and his mood changed with the text:

"The ancestors of the ministers were born out of the emperor, when the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the beginning of the Wei Dynasty" This is the beginning. What the? Li Yuanhao is emphasizing that he has emperor blood? Northern Wei's?

"Distant ancestor Sigong, when Tang Ji led the troops to save the disaster, he was given the surname. The ancestors moved successively, raised the banner of righteousness, surrendered to all the departments, received the five towns of Linhe, and went down to seven states along the border. Father Deming, heir to the world, reluctant to obey the court. And the ministers imitated crazy Fei, made small characters, and changed the clothes of the Han Dynasty. The clothes are good, the words are good, the etiquette and music are both Zhang, and the instruments are prepared, Tubo, Tatar, Zhangye, and Jiaohe, all from the volt "Huh? Zhao Zhen and others were even more dizzy. Li Yuanhao is also engaged in etiquette? Clothing, writing, etiquette, and utensils? Very authentic, huh? So many races have submitted to him?

"If you are called the king, you don't like it, and the emperor is from it. Repeated periods, the mountains call together. I wish to build a land as a state of ten thousand times... Then on October 11, the suburban altar prepared a ceremony, for the ancestor text Wuxing Law Jianli Renxiao Emperor, the year name Tianzhu Rite Law Yanzuo "What? Li Yuanhao is reversed? He's already an emperor? Rush to build an altar and ascend the throne before the Song Dynasty ceremony in November? Is this a joke? Or is it that we failed too much in etiquette and were robbed of the opportunity by others?

"His Majesty the Emperor Fuwang, the wise man is an adult, generous and transitive, and he is allowed to be the king of the south in the western suburbs. Dare to be foolish, and always be happy. Fish come and go. Let the voice of the neighboring country be heard. The earth is long, and the border defense of Yongzhen is troubled. Sincerely, Emperor Yu "is finished... This is actually true. What is the principle of heaven? Where is moral etiquette? We have gone all out to organize the etiquette, and the pomp has been done by more than 10,000 people, but why is there a rebellion? Zhou Gongdan, Confucius! Isn't it true that what you have emphasized and taught is the eternal law?

Surprise quickly turned to anger, which is the natural way of thinking after more than 2,000 years of Han-based thinking. I am the biggest, the only one, as long as I dare to compete for the position, not only will I die, but I will also die with the most vicious infamy! Crusade against Li Yuanhao and exterminate the party! All in one. But pay attention to the whole people. Never say the word "Great Xia". This is the country name that Li Yuanhao set for himself. Since then, the Western Xia Kingdom officially appeared in Chinese history, lasted for a full 190 years, and after the last order of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian iron cavalry wanted to avenge their Great Khan, and the Western Xia Kingdom was completely wiped out, leaving only a few Western Xia royal tombs in the vast Gobi known as the "Oriental Pyramid" for future generations to pay attention to... In the year when Li Yuanhao became emperor, the Great Song Dynasty had been founded for 78 years, and the Great Khitan had been founded for 131 years. And a full 56 years have passed since Li Jiqian rebelled against Song Zili...

I am the kingdom above China, and you are only worthy of enduring in the small land in the west and being a "Tangut person"

December 9th. Ordered the deputy deployment of Huanqing Road, and Liu Ping deployed for the deputy capital of Yanyan Road. On the 11th, Xia Zhu was ordered to be the envoy of Fengning Festival and the Yongxing Army. Fan Yong was the envoy of Zhenwu Festival and Zhiyan Prefecture, preparing to crusade against Western Xia. On the 15th, he ordered the search for the spies sent by Li Yuanhao into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. and got out of the reward of 100,000 yuan for catching one person. On the 23rd, he was crowned as the envoy of the Baoshun Army and the leader of Miaochuan. The year gives 1,000 horses of silk, 1,000 catties of tea, and 1,500 catties of loose tea, and only asks for one thing: to contain Li Yuanhao.

January of the 2nd year of Baoyuan (1039). In the midst of the condemnation and scolding, someone found a detail. That is, although Li Yuanhao rebelled and falsely claimed to be the emperor, he still maintained the self-title of a minister in the national book, which was quite polite. So will we, the country of China and the state of etiquette, directly fight?

No! The Yidi barbarians are to be educated, to give them a chance! Therefore, according to the precedent, various rewards and gifts were sent to the envoys of Western Xia who sent letters of state. But unexpectedly, the messenger was so arrogant that he closed the door and hung out all the rewards that had been delivered. I don't have any of your stuff at all!

I'm dizzy! The privy envoy Wang Deyong and the deputy envoy Chen Zhizhong were about to pull this person out of the city on the spot and cut him directly! However, the privy envoy Sheng Du and the deputy envoy Zhang Guan objected.

Wang Deyong instantly returned to the state when he fought against the party 42 years ago and drove Li Yuanhao's grandfather out of the lair of Qingbaichi: Your Majesty, the old minister asked for war, and he was willing to kill the Chinese army into the desert and exterminate Li Yuanhao, an ugly traitor!

His Majesty Renzong was hesitating... The old general's ambitions are commendable, but... Let's talk again...

After discussing it again, it fell into the quagmire. On the 23rd, Guo Quan, the governor of Yanzhou, and Li Wei, the governor of Yanyan Road, were demoted for not observing the enemy's situation.

At the critical moment, the old mistakes of the Tibetan people were committed again. The nightmare of more than 100 years ago was repeated, and Tibet was once again divided internally. And this time the split progression is deadly, and Zampu, who no one dares to offend, is betrayed by his own son!

The eldest son Blind Felt and the second son Mo Felt horn born to Mrs. Niang escaped from Qingtang City respectively, each supporting their own troops and entrenching themselves on the plateau, and was not controlled by their father from then on. They even chose to show favor to their father's enemies, among which the second son did the best job, and with his consent, his chief strategist Yingcheng Yulong married his daughter to Li Yuanhao's son and became a close relative.

Revenge for shame and revenge, revenge for treason! Unexpectedly, the hero of the first generation gave birth to such a scum, he was helpless, and in the face of splitting, he chose to retreat, moved his royal city from Qingtang City, and moved to Lijing City, thus giving up the initiative in the war. As a last resort, in order to unite all the forces that can be united, on April 3, the wife of Feng Luo was his wife and his two sons were the regimental training envoys.

The Tibetan people are in turmoil without a fight, which is an unparalleled opportunity for the rise of the party. The god of fate smiled at Li Yuanhao. There is no way he will not succeed, his son, Zhao Zhen and his courtiers are all contributing to the troubles, lifting Li Yuanhao to the cusp of history...

As a result of the rediscussion, on May 22, Wang De replaced him with Xia Shouyun, who was dismissed as a privy envoy.

In June, Na Luo led 45,000 troops to attack Li Yuanhao's Xiliang Mansion, but he could not go down because the other party was prepared, so he could only withdraw his troops and return. But in any case, the army of the Great Song Dynasty has been sent to attack the enemy, so what are you doing with the army of the Great Song Dynasty? Only the "re-discussion" in the court proposed to bribe him heavily. sent it with land, just begging Luo to kill Li Yuanhao for the Great Song Dynasty. However, Cheng Lin, the governor of the political affairs, resolutely objected to "If Peter land, he will go to one Yuan Hao and give birth to one Yuan Hao." If you don't use the room, the two sides will not agree. This is also a benefit for China."

On the 12th, Shi Shouxin, the grandson of Shi Shouxin, the founder of the Great Song Dynasty and the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, was appointed as the deputy capital of Yanyan Road.

On the 13th, because Zhao Zhen's second son Zhao Xin was about to be born, Zhao Zongshi, who was originally sent to the palace as a prince and raised by Empress Cao herself, was temporarily sent back to the palace of his father Zhao Yunrang.

On the 23rd, Li Yuanhao was stripped of all his official positions in the Great Song Dynasty, but his surname was still retained for him. From beginning to end, the history of the Song Dynasty called him "Zhao Yuanhao", and firmly nailed him to the identity of a retainer. At the same time, the trade between Shaanxi and Hedong and Western Xia was immediately closed, and no more transactions were made with party members. In addition, a bounty was offered for capturing Li Yuanhao. There are people who come to offer with the head of Yuan Hao, and they are sealed on the spot.

On the 27th, let the governor of Hedong Road communicate with the Great Khitan. Inform Zhao Yuanhao that he has reversed the vigilance of the Great Song Dynasty along the border, so please don't be surprised.

On July 28, Yelu Zong really went to pay tribute to his father Liao Shengzong's Qing Mausoleum. Previously, he listened to the monks teach him the "Sutra of Retribution", so he went to welcome back his imprisoned biological mother Xiao Yunjin. But there is no family affection between mother and son.

On the 29th, he ordered the Yongxing Army to make Xia Zhu reappointed as the governor of Jingzhou, and concurrently served as the envoy of Jingyuan and Qinfeng 2 Road. Fan Yong, the governor of Yanzhou, concurrently served as the pacification envoy of Yanyan and Huanqing 2 Road. At the same time, the two became the supreme military commanders of the Northwest Frontier, strengthening the military strength on the border and preparing to enter a state of war at any time.

This paper introduces the regional division of the Northwest Frontier during the Northern Song Dynasty. The official system of the Song Dynasty is probably the most complex in Chinese history. The administrative division at the local level is called "road", but there are four kinds of roads: the highest governor in charge of military affairs is called the pacification envoy (Shuai Si Lu), the highest governor in charge of wealth and endowment is called the transfer envoy (Cao Si Lu), the highest governor in charge of justice is called Ti Ti Dian Prison (Xian Si Road), and the highest governor in charge of disaster relief is called Ti Changping (Cang Si Road).

The economic base determines the superstructure. So what we usually call the road generally refers to Caosi Road, 997 years set as 15 Road, 1001 as 17 Road, now there are 18 roads in the world, 1072 for 21 Road, 1073 for 22 Road, 1074 for 23 Road, 1105 after 24 Road. Specific to the Northwest Frontier, it is now Shaanxi Road. After 1072, it will be divided into two roads: Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road.

Qin Feng Road "Mansion 1: Fengxiang. State 12: Qin, Jing, Xi, Long, Cheng, Feng, Min, Wei, Yuan, Jie, He, Lan. Army 3: Zhenrong, Deshun, Tongyuan. County 38 "Yongxing Military Road" Mansion 2: Jingzhao, Hezhong. Prefecture 15: Shaanxi, Yan, Tong, Hua, Yao, Pi, Dun, Xie, Qing, Yu, Shang, Ning, Fang, Dan, Huan. Army 1: Security. County 83"

But now we are going to look at the military, the war! So let's take a look at Shuai Si Road: now there are 27 roads in the whole world. The Yongxing Army is divided into three: Yongxing Military Road, Dunyan Road, and Huanqing Road. Qinfeng Road is divided into two: Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road (after the Xihe River is opened, a Xihe Road will be added to Qinfeng Road.) After the Northern Song Dynasty, the most Lu Tianxia 28 Shuai Si Road)

Knowledge popularization: Xiansi Road, 1105 years ago, there were a total of 18 roads in the whole world. After 1105, it was 24 roads. (To be continued......)
