Next, Zhao Kuangyin will have to do the aftermath work. Because Hunan has become a big people at this time. Li Chuyun! Do you have enough pots to cook people? Do you want me to send you hundreds of cauldrons from Kaifeng? Zhao Kuangyin granted amnesty to the entire territory of Jinghu, exempted the tea tax and various miscellaneous taxes in the two places, and exempted half of the summer tax in Jingnan that year.

On September 18, Li Chuyun was demoted and demoted to Zizhou to do assassination. The reason is that since Li Chuyun had eaten human flesh, he also began to severely punish the law in his own army, and he was ruthless. So there was an unhappiness with coach Murong Yanzhao. Murong Yanzhao's soldiers loved to rob things, and Li Chuyun, as a prisoner, believed that he had a responsibility to stop the soldiers from looting. So at the beginning of Xiangzhou, Li Chuyun grabbed two soldiers and sent them to Murong Yanzhao for disposal, but Murong Yanzhao thinks that you should say hello first when you move my soldiers, you can't just take it, right? Therefore, Li Chuyun arrested the soldiers here, and Murong Yanzhao let them go. After such a few back and forth, Li Chuyun also understood, and in the future, he caught Murong Yanzhao's soldiers who violated military discipline and beheaded them directly for public display. But it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Later, in Jingzhou, Murong Yanzhao's personal soldiers went to molest the wife of the Jingzhou general. The defendant went to Li Chuyun. Li Chuyun arrested this person and reprimanded him. And this personal soldier turned around and went to the boss to complain. Another time, Li Chuyun saw Murong Yanzhao's group of soldiers enter the house. After a while, Li Chuyun heard a cry for help from inside, and it seemed that another bold guy was corrupting military discipline. Li also didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he whipped someone else without permission, and sent it to Murong Yanzhao, "Look, your soldiers haven't disciplined themselves well and are thieves outside." You still have to bother me to take care of it for you" Murong Yanzhao was furious, and dragged this guy who didn't grow into a disgrace and beheaded him.

Such things are not uncommon, how can the relationship between the two still be good? The two played Zhao Kuangyin without anything to do, exposing each other's shortcomings. It should be Li Chuyun's reason, after all, it is Zhao Kuangyin's order not to disturb the people, but how can Li Chuyun's background be as thick as Murong Yanzhao? And Zhao Kuangyin is an old hen who loves to take care of her chicks. In terms of the relationship with the emperor, Li Chuyun can't compare to Murong Yanzhao. and let Murong Yanzhao grab the pigtails, and he was told about eating human flesh and killing prisoners.

As a result, Li Chuyun could only go to Zizhou to take office. The history of the Song Dynasty summed up the reason why he was demoted, "he was punished with close ministers to protect the army, he thought that he was met by Taizu, and he thought about retribution, so he was autocratic in the matter, regardless of the group discussion, and then he was degraded", and he could take an idea when he encountered something, saying that you were autocratic in the matter, regardless of the group discussion. If you can't make up your mind when you encounter something, I'm afraid you will say that you lack decision-making, right? Li Chuyun was full of dissatisfaction, grievances, anger, and depression. And such a mood is harmful to health, and after only 3 years in office, he died of depression.

However, his opponent died before him. On December 7, the year of the pacification of Jingxiang, Murong Yanzhao died of illness.

The two tigers fought and were injured. In the end, of course, it was Zhao Kuangyin who suffered. At present, it is the time to employ people, and the great cause of unifying the world has just begun on the road, and there is still a long way to go.

But we shouldn't forget about Li Chuyun. His father was a national martyr who fought to the death in the Khitan, and he also took the lead in the year of the weak crown, when Yelu Deguang entered Bianliang, shooting dozens of people. In the Chenqiao Mutiny, he made a decision on the spot, made every move, and made contributions to the establishment of the Song Dynasty. After pacifying Li Chongjin, he presided over the reconstruction of Yangzhou. When the matter was completed in Beijing, the people of Yangzhou blocked the road and stayed, and they could not travel for several days. Even Zhao Kuangyin, the old hen who cares for the chicks, often thinks of him. Otherwise, he would not have been posthumously crowned as the envoy of the festival after Li's death, and the second daughter would be the future Empress Mingde of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong.

Since it comes to Zhao Kuangyin's calf protection, let's take a look at some of Song Taizu's specific actions to protect the calf:

His relative, the old prince Fu Yanqing is a big greedy ghost, 960-969 guarded the Daimyo's Mansion for 10 years, the land can not be scraped at all, and there are several people in the DPRK who are impeached. Zhao Kuangyin, in the spirit of valuing peace, only sent some officials to Fu Yanqing to divide his power so that the people would not be exploited by him. At the same time, he took out public funds and gave them to Fu Yanqing.

Li Hanchao, the defense envoy of Qizhou, was sued, saying that he robbed the people's daughters and did not repay the money, and he was a scoundrel. Zhao Kuangyin called this guy who dared to sue the people and asked, "If your daughter doesn't give Li Hanchao a little wife, who will she marry?" The honest complainant "married a peasant" Zhao asked again: "Before Hanchao arrived in Guannan, how was your public security?" Have the Khitan people ever come to harass "The complainant is very honest" is very bitter, and he is robbed every year" Zhao asked again "What about now" The complaint is too honest "The Khitan devil is not here" Zhao Kuangyin nodded and gave the complainant a lesson, "Li Hanchao is my favorite general, isn't it better for your daughter to be his little wife than to marry a peasant woman?" If there is no Han Chao to guard Guannan, your family will not be able to keep it, let alone lend him money" What kind of crooked reasoning is this? It is estimated that when the corrupt officials saw this, they were afraid that they would call long live, and then hoped to wake up early tomorrow morning and travel to the Song Dynasty (secretly: the author's dream is also to travel back to the Song Dynasty to be a scholar)

The complainant stepped back. What else can I do? The lawsuit has been brought to the Supreme Court. was dismissed by the world's first justice. The farmer who returned home was surprised to find that his daughter had returned home, and the money that Li Hanchao owed him had also been returned. What's going on? Naturally, although Zhao Kuangyin said that he had withdrawn from others, he also knew that he was arguing with strong words. Privately confessed to Li Hanchao, "You return other people's daughters to others, and the money owed is mine, so I will pay them back first." Don't do that in the future. If you're short of money, just tell me."

The peasants were satisfied, and the people and money were returned. Li Hanchao was also completely moved to tears by the emperor and vowed to repay him with death. After 17 years in the town, he finally changed his bad habits and became a good boss of the people who loved and respected him (this matter was recorded in March 967. But the protagonist becomes Cangzhou Henghai Jie Du makes Zhang Mei)

Protecting the short can be protected to the point of Zhao Kuangyin, and there is really a level. But the above is a fight between the people and officials, and the dispute between Li Chuyun and Murong Yanzhao is a fight between officials and officials. How should Zhao Kuangyin deal with this situation?

Ma Renyu, the overseer of Bazhou, often did not greet Li Hanchao, and pulled out his troops and horses to run to Liao to rob people and cattle and sheep. This made Li Hanchao a little unhappy. You don't say hello when you use my soldiers, and you don't give me any commission when you grab something. The relationship between the two is getting worse and worse.

Li Hanchao is Zhao Kuangyin's heavy general, and Ma Renyu is not far behind. The battle of Gaoping jumped out of the horse, and it was he who shot down the famous general Zhang Yuanhui of the Northern Han Dynasty, and it was he who shot the crow under the city of Chuzhou. Chen Qiao mutinied, and he was also one of the main supporting roles. Zhao Kuangyin used his best trick: distributed money between the two and settled the matter.

However, the person Ma Renyu provoked under him was in big trouble. The younger brother of the current queen, Wang Jixun, the uncle of the country. He was rampant in the capital, and he was a hooligan who even the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee and the generals of the forbidden army dared to bully. Only Ma Renyu is hard-boned, short-tempered, and doesn't sell it. In August 963, the two of them, who had been growing in grievances, finally broke out. The way to resolve the conflict is very violent, make an appointment with a place, and then call people on both sides to fight. Who let Zhao Kuangyin be the elite of his forbidden army, and all the people left behind were from hooligan bandits. Seeing that the forbidden army was about to calm the world, it was the first to rise. Fortunately, the emperor was very well-informed, and hurriedly issued an order to stop it. However, it will not last long for a while. And in this matter, Zhao Kuangyin had selfish intentions, kept his brother-in-law, and sent Ma Renyu, a veteran of the forbidden army, to the defense envoy of Mizhou.

But in the midst of this, Zhao Kuangyin is still deeply sorry for someone. On August 3, 963, Zhang Qiong committed suicide. Zhang Qiong is Zhao Kuangyin's savior. If it weren't for Zhang Qiong lying down to block the arrows, Zhao Kuangyin would have died under Liu Renzhan's Shouzhou City, where else could Song Taizu do? However, because of the slanderous rumors of his subordinate general Shi Hanqing, the emperor summoned Qiong for interrogation. Naturally, Joan was not convinced. The emperor was angry and ordered to strike him. Shi Hanqing immediately struck his head with an iron tie, and almost killed Joan. The more she thought about it in prison, the more angry she became, and she committed suicide. The later emperor found out that Zhang Qiong's family had no money to spare, and only 3 domestic slaves, so he repented very much and asked Shi Hanqing, "Ru Yanqiong privately raised a hundred people, and now he is here" Shi can only defend "The one raised by Qiong can be a hundred"

On November 16, 963, Song Taizu changed his name to Yuan Qiande. There is also a story about this year name, and in the future, it will trigger a great reading movement for all members of the Song Dynasty. On December 6, Queen Wang died. On December 23, Zhao Kuangyin began to build the imperial mausoleum area of Zhao and Song officials' families in Gong County, Luoyang, Xijing, and the first to be buried was the tomb of Zhao Hongyin, the ancestor of Song Xuanzu.

On January 11, the 2nd year of Qiande (964), Fan Zhen (died on September 28), Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, the former three prime ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, all resigned from political affairs. Zhao Pu finally became the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. The privy envoy was replaced by Li Chongju. And on April 19, after consulting Tao Gu, Zhao Kuangyin gave the deputy prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty a name - Governor of Political Affairs. Xue Juzheng and Lu Yuqing became the first deputy prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

After stabilizing the interior, Song Taizu set his sights on the distance again. Which country is he going to conquer this time?

In fact, during this period, the war in the Great Song Frontier never stopped. On April 19, 963, Zhang Hui was appointed as the training envoy of the Fengzhou regiment. Hui reported the mountains and rivers in Shuzhou. The great joy of Taizu Lan has the meaning of cutting down Shu. In early July, Wang Quanbin, Guo Jin, Cao Bin and others attacked the Northern Han Dynasty. On August 8, the 3rd general captured Leping County in the Northern Han Dynasty, which was renamed the Pingjin Army. In early August, Pan Mei was the defense envoy of Tanzhou. Because the Southern Han Dynasty has always coveted the Chu land, the first brave general of the Northern Song Dynasty guarded this new land inhabited by ethnic minorities, so that it could be safe. In December, Cao Bin, Wang Jiyun, Zhao Yanhui, Li Jixun and others joined forces to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. At the end of January 964, Li Jixun attacked Liaozhou in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Northern Han Dynasty was in a hurry to Liao. On February 1, Liaozhou assassin Du Yantao raised the city and surrendered. But four days later, Yelu Tartlie's 60,000 cavalry defeated Li Jixun in Shizhou. In April, Qin Zaixiong was the assassin of Chenzhou. With the punishment system, Jing Chu will not be in trouble.

But now if you ask Zhao Kuangyin which country he is most concerned about. He will answer you without hesitation: Shu Kingdom! Gaining Shu is equivalent to having a big granary, which can turn Shu into a big rear for conquering the world. And to occupy the land of Shu, it is to occupy a commanding heights on the terrain, out of Shu can go down the Yangtze River and take the south of the Yangtze River. In the face of these two major benefits, no matter how difficult Shu Dao is, it is necessary to go on a trip.

And now the situation is also very favorable to Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong helped him take Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jie's 4 prefectures, and has laid a foundation there, and after pacifying Jingnan, he can start from the waterway and attack Sichuan with the north road. One east and one north, just like two chopsticks, clamped towards the big pot of vegetables in Shu.

After enjoying decades of unity and stability, the Shu Kingdom is finally coming to the end of its life. The eyes of the masses are clear. "Jade Pot Qinghua" recorded that Zhao Kuangyin wants to dominate the world, pay special attention to things outside the border, someone from Shu, Zhao Kuangyin asked "what is the situation inside Jianmen Pass" to answer "Chengdu people are reading Zhu Changshan's "hard reading" poem: there is nowhere to avoid the heat and depression, when will the cool breeze come" Of course, maybe this traveler intends to cater to Zhao Kuangyin, and the popularity of Chengdu culture must not be to the point where the whole city is reciting poetry, but the Shu people complain about the harsh government and want to return. Zhao Kuangyin smiled, "This is Shu Min, waiting for me, this breeze sweeps away the heat."
