The preciousness of Beizhu is due to its beauty. The second is the difficulty of picking. Rare things are expensive, so they have to be worth a hundred times. It can only ripen in the icy waters after October of the lunar calendar every year. At this time, no matter how strong a man is, he can't dive into the deep water to pick it! What to do? The trend of profit is irresistible. Beizhu, which is hidden in the deep bottom of the ice sea, can also be obtained by humans in the feudal period!

After careful observation, the people on the seashore found that a species of swans appeared at this time of year, and they dived deep into the ice sea and fed on the female mussels of Beizhu, and the Beizhu that could not be eaten was contained in their sacs. The swans fly high in the sky, and the best shooters don't want to shoot in the strong sea breeze. What to do? People also found that the swan has a kind of natural enemy, is a small and extremely fierce bird of prey, named "Hai Dong Qing" Hai Dong Qing is a legendary bird, in the modern bird encyclopedia can no longer be found, but it was 1107 years ago was certain! Without it, maybe nothing would have existed in the future!

Haidongqing feeds on swans, as long as you can get Haidongqing, then you will be able to catch live swans and cut geese to get pearls. So all the focus was on Hai Dongqing!

How do you get this bird, and how do you domesticate it? At this time, the noble and powerful Khitans pouted, which is risky! Inferior work is only worthy of those inferior peoples to do, they just need to sit and wait for Beizhu!

Inferior peoples, such as the Jurchens. The Jurchen people have a long history, dating back to the pre-Qin period, when they called the "Su Shen" Jurchen or Nuzhi (avoiding the truth of Liao Xingzong Yelu Zong, Jurchen is called Nuzhi in Liao History) is a later transliteration. Although it was very long, it was not mixed until the establishment of the Liao State, they were still at the end of the primitive society, about to enter the slave society, scattered in the Heilongjiang and Songhua River basins, living by hunting and fishing. Those who are close to the territory of the Liao State are called mature women. He is already a subject of the Liao State. Those who live in the north of the Songhua River and east of Ningjiang Prefecture are called Jurchens and are in a state of freedom.

The job of catching Hai Dongqing will be sent to the mature girl! You are the northernmost subordinates of our Great Liao Kingdom, who do you not do? But what's terrible is that Hai Dongqing lives farther away than them, all the way north to the territory of the birth girl...

Can you imagine: even if it is a brother of the same clan with the surname, there are good things in the compound of family A, and family B says that I will take it when the door is opened, is this possible? Do you really want to take it? can only carry a knife and come to the door to rob it!

Every year, the mature girl who took over the task really carried a knife and a gun and went to the house of a brother of the same clan to rob Hai Dongqing. Ice and snow, year after year. They all have to throw away a large number of corpses, grab some eagle eggs, and give them to the Liao people in vain!

And when the Liao people came to fetch the eagle, it was something that made the Jurchens even more humiliating. Every year, the "Silver Angels" sent by the Great Liao State pass through (this has a proper name in history "Eagle Road") to extort money. It's nothing, it's a common rule in all parts of the world. But they have to ask the young and beautiful Jurchen girl to "recommend pillows" every night, so they can't bear it, right? Straight lady thief, Tesher is a bully!

Be at the end of one's forbearance... But we still have to endure, the Han people can one day have a sense of sacredness and shout the slogan "The greatest truth in the world". But if you go out of the Han Domain, these 4 words are a super funny joke!

The Khitans, the Dangxiang, the Jurchens, and even more aliens around will smile and wave to you - come here! Brother let you know what is the biggest? Big fist. It's the biggest!

Therefore, the Jurchens can only endure, and if they can't bear it, they will wait for the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species! What's more, recommending a pillow or something is just one of the humiliations, and there are many more humiliations, in comparison. All kinds of bullying on Eagle Road is still good, after all, people have run a long way and take the initiative to bully you at the door of your Jurchen house. More often, the Jurchens had to take the initiative to get close to the Liao emperor. To sing, to laugh, to dance, to make trouble, to pretend to be a bear, to pretend to be a wild deer, to make the Liao people happy... What a humiliation to send to the door!

This is the annual "Head Fish Feast"

May 20th. Song Huizong's ninth son, Zhao Gou (the future Song Gaozong), was born. The biological mother Wei is a talented person who enters Jieyu.

There is a poem that ranks the level of human pursuit from low to high, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, as long as it is a person, they all fall into it, and there is no way to escape - rushing all day long only to be hungry, so that they have food and clothing. Put Aya Luo on her body, but look up but think the house is low. built tall buildings and mansions, and there was a lack of beautiful wives in front of the bed. The wife and concubine are all married, and they suddenly worry that there is no horse to ride when they go out. Buy a high-headed golden pommel horse, and follow less before and after the horse. recruited dozens of family members, and was bullied by people with money and powerlessness. When he came to run the county, he complained about the low position of the official. As a scholar and a pavilion elder, Chao Sidui wants to ascend the throne. Once in the south, he became the Son of Heaven, and fought in the east and west to fight the barbarians. All the nations of the four seas surrendered and wanted to play chess with the gods. Dongbin accompanied him to play chess and ordered him to make a ladder to the sky quickly. The ladder to the sky has not started, and the king of Hades has come to urge him. If it weren't for this person's maximum reach, it would be too low to ascend to heaven. The Jade Emperor asked him to do it, and he must have thought that the Heavenly Palace was not gorgeous.

Based on this poem, Zhao Ji jumped to the last step in just five or six years. He wants to become an immortal, he wants to be extraordinary, he wants to get rid of low-level interests, and he has begun to pursue the mystery of his heart...

Then we can only start with religion. But there are too many religions, which one to choose? Naturally, it's Taoism! What is Zhao Ji's great-high uncle Song Zhenzong Zhao Hengxin? How did you believe it? With such a glorious precedent, does Zhao Ji still need to think?

What's more, he himself has witnessed the miracle of Taoist priests. The 25th generation grandmaster of Maoshan Liu Mingkang. During the period of Song Zhezong, he went to Beijing to show his magical powers, and took out for Empress Meng... An embroidery needle that swallowed into the throat by mistake!

Another thing is very amazing, it is said that one day Grandmaster Liu was silent and motionless. Everyone spoke to him as if they hadn't heard him. When he finally got up and went to the emperor, Zhao Ji asked him what he was doing, so long to come? Grandmaster Liu replied: I went for a walk in the sky just now, and I was supposed to come back soon, but I saw the list outside the Nantian Gate, and the list was the list of nobles who will be raised in the middle of next year. I watched it for a while, so I was late...

Zhao Ji asked, "Have you remembered the list?" "Remembered" "Okay!" Write it down, hide it in this small box, and see you next year."

In the spring of the second year, the spring list was released, and the Golden Palace was roll-called, and the top two were Cai Xue and Ke Di. When I opened Grandmaster Liu's small box, I found that there was a piece of paper inside, and the words "Two Grass and Two Trees" written on it were completely correct!

On July 25, 1106, Liu Mingkang added the name of Bao Zhenguan Miao Chong and Mr. Grandmaster Liu's status was established, and the miracle of Taoism was undoubted.

On February 2, 1107, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict: the order of Taoist priests is above monks, and the order of female crowns is above female nuns. And give the two female crowns surnamed Yu and the surname Yu to add the title of fairy.

When the monasticism reaches a certain level, there will always be a large number of believers. Believers are the most faithful followers, and even in modern times, when atheism has become the mainstream, there are people who are constantly being deceived, let alone in the feudal era. So there were more believers. It is inevitable not to rebel. Such as Zhang Jiao in the Han Dynasty and Hong Xiuquan in the Qing Dynasty. This kind of character also existed in Zhao Ji's era, he was Zhang Huaisu, a native of Shuzhou.

Zhang Shenxian called himself a down-and-out Taoist, his early image was very free and easy, when he stayed in Chen, he wore a ragged robe, did not wear a crown, did not have hairpins, and his head was full of wild flowers, singing and playing games at will in the downtown area, which was simply a sharp brother of the Song Dynasty. At that time, his name was Daihua Monk.

The monk Daihua was selected by the grassroots cadres to be sent to the capital, and quickly became popular all over the upper echelons. Cai Jing, Cai Bian brothers, Lu Huiqing in his twilight years and others all had cordial contacts with him and exchanged life experiences. This process shocked the top bosses of the empire, although their lives were very strong, but they only had a few decades of ups and downs...

The monk who wears flowers is a leisurely travel time. I don't know always. For example, when Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao, he advised the sage that it was too hasty to kill people. Climb over the hill before and after the battle of Chenggao, where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought the most fiercely in the world, to see how the two sides fought... It sounds like a fairy tale, but Cai Jing and others actually believed it! What the hell is going on? Ghost knows the way!

After that, in the capital of the Song Dynasty, regardless of the deep courtyard of the mansion, the high gate and the big valve, the monks wearing flowers entered and exited at will, and even the place where the women in the backyard lived had no scruples. For what? Hehe! Since ancient times, women have been the backbone of religion! Nothing can stop their yearning for truth and soul purification! Of course, in the process, their reputations also need to be cleaned...

Zhang Huaisu led his followers to plot a rebellion in August 1107. Soon arrested in Jinju. The accompanying believers and more than 10 beautiful female disciples were killed together. Cai Jing and others urgently dredged up the relationship, and the work was done in the office of Yu Shen in the imperial history and Lin Yu, the prefect of Kaifeng, before they could be regarded as clearing themselves!

In September, it came on the heels of the execution of the Taoist leader Zhang Huaisu. The leader of Confucianism, 75-year-old Mr. Cheng Yi of Yichuan, died. In the future, the Cheng brothers were pushed to the status of the third and fourth saints and the patriarchs of science after Confucius and Mencius, and they were all over the world. But in my opinion: in the future, the Southern Song Dynasty will be largely responsible for the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty!

On November 14, following Jiuding. Song Huizong cast the town of the country and was ordered to 2 treasures, but in the first year of Yuan Fu, Duan Yi dedicated the jade seal of the first emperor of the country and discarded it (perhaps the jade seal of Zhilu Dao is not the real product of the first emperor and Li Si as the seal for the millennium. has been fooling the world for nearly 10 years, and now I can't fool it anymore) and the existing Emperor's Treasure, the Emperor's Treasure, the Emperor's Treasure, the Emperor's Treasure, the Treasure of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven's Treasure, and the Son of Heaven's Treasure are combined into the Eight Treasures, which are in charge of the internal and external Fu Baolang.

On April 24, 1108, Tong Guan sent Xin Shuxian and Feng Guan to recover Taozhou. On May 3, Tong Guan ordered Liu Zhongwu to attack Xige City. The prince of Xige City, Zang Pu Zhengge, surrendered, and the Jishi army was recovered. The second Xihe Kaibian has a total of three stages, and so far the victory has been completed!

On the 2nd day before the recovery of the Jishi Army, Cai Jing was rewarded with the emperor's jade belt for his efforts in recovering Taozhou. Recalling the first victory of the Xihe River, Wang Anshi was also rewarded with this jade belt. At that time, Wang Xianggong only tied it for 3 days, and he cherished it at home. But now that Cai Jing has been given, it has become a regular service. Every day, I wear it to the temple with a swagger, and show off to my colleagues: I am the hero of the opening of the Xihe River... On the 8th, because of the merits of recovering Taozhou and Jishi Army, Tong Guan was named the inspector of the school and the envoy of the Fengning Army.

The best ending for the immortals is Liu Mingkang. This grandmaster is obviously a nobleman among Taoist priests, he has eaten and seen, and he knows how to swim in the red dust, and the biggest point of knowing the Tao is to leave in time... He was so close to Zhao Ji that he got a huge field seal, reward, and title, and soon faded out of Zhao Ji's royal supernatural team, he was gone, and now he is dead, but the Taoist system of Maoshan can continue to spread...

On October 26, Zhao Huan's mother and queen Wang died. He was only 25 years old.

In December, another generation of Zhejiajun who was a family member and was feared by the Western Xia people as the "father of the Zhe family" died, and was succeeded by his son Zhe Keda (after the death of Keda, his younger brother Zhe Keqiu will succeed as the boss of the last generation of Zhejia Army in the Northern Song Dynasty). It will write the glory of the strongest Zhejia army of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty!

On March 14, 1109, because the Song army did not return the lost land and the Xihe River fought again, Li Qianshun sent an envoy to Liao again for help. On the 28th, Zhang Kangguo, a member of the Privy Council, died. On April 4, the Chinese scholar Lin Yu was dismissed. On the 19th, Zheng Juzhong transferred to the Privy Council. Guan Shiren was promoted to the Privy Councillor. On the 29th, Yu Shen was promoted to the post of Zhongshu Shilang. Xue Ang, the secretary of the military department, was promoted to the rank of Shangshu Zuocheng. Liu Zhengfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to the right of the secretary. On June 1, Guan Shiren was dismissed. On the 4th, the officials listed 14 evil things about knowing the law and breaking the law, and Cai Jing was dismissed. On the 8th, He Zhizhong, a servant of his disciples, was promoted to the prime minister of the empire. On February 20, 1110, the 4th year of Daguan, Zhang Shangying, a servant under his door, was transferred to the post of Zhongshu Shilang. Hou Meng, the secretary of the household department, was promoted to the Privy Council. Yu Shen was transferred to serve as a squire. He was deposed on May 28. On June 8, Zhang Shangying was promoted to Shangshu's right servant. On the 29th, Xue Ang was deposed. On August 9, Liu Zhengfu was transferred to Zhongshu Shilang. Hou Meng was transferred to Shangshu Zuocheng. Deng Xunren was promoted to Shangshu Youcheng. On the 14th, Wu Juhou was promoted to the rank of servant. On September 26, the Great Liao Emperor's uncles Yelu and Lu Wei died of illness. On October 2, Concubine Zheng was made queen. Zheng Juzhong was dismissed. On the 3rd, Wu Juhou was transferred to the Privy Council.

After this series of dazzling ups and downs of officialdom, Chinese history finally ushered in a crucial year - 1111, 150 years after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty! Something happened in the year that seemed so inconspicuous at the time that no one even noticed it. But its influence is the most far-reaching and decisive in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty! Because without it, there would be no division between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty! The year 1111 is a trembling year in terms of numbers - there is a definite year in Chinese history, and this is the only and most authentic time to appear in the purest year of singles...

On August 5, the first year of Zhenghe (1111), Cai Jing, who had fallen two years ago, had tried all his tricks, including kneeling in front of Zhao Ji and crying bitterly, but he could not stay in the capital, and he was demoted to Hangzhou. Hangzhou... 8 years of reincarnation, where to get up and where to fall. At this time, whether in officialdom or in practice, Cai Jing is finished? The downed prime minister, since then? But Cai Jing has an advantage that others don't have! The artistic accomplishment and life taste similar to Zhao Ji make him not only Zhao Ji's courtier, but also Zhao Ji's favorite minister. Leaving Cai Jing, Zhao Ji didn't know how to play, and he didn't know how to continue Fengheng Yuda? Even with Zhu Chong, Zhu Mian and others, they had to be guided by Cai Jing, so they knew what kind of flowers and which stones to transport to the capital? The days are spent in the collective thinking of Cai Jing, and the longer they leave, the more everyone misses Cai Jing's goodness. So he returned to the capital, with the official position of prince and teacher, and re-participated in national affairs. At this time, he learned from the pain, summed up the lesson, and never gave the enemy the slightest chance! Yes! He still relaxed before, thinking that after beating the Yuanyu party and showing the ferocity to the fullest, he would be done once and for all? But now he knows the truth: the truth of the blow is to keep hitting and hitting harder and harder! It is necessary for the entire world to recognize, remember, and even get used to your blows, and it is uncomfortable not to fight for a day, so that it can be considered in place! This time, Cai Jing overhauled Wenzhi, posthumously crowned Wang Anshi and Cai Qu as kings, and raised the status of the new party. persuaded Zhao Ji to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build the Ming Hall, repair Fang Ze, and establish a Taoist temple, so that the emperor could experience a higher level of happiness. The fourth auxiliary army town was newly established, with 80,000 soldiers, and the salary of each soldier was more than 10 times that of officers and soldiers at the same level, and the leaders were all his cronies. On the 27th, Shangshu's right servant shot Zhang Shangying and was dismissed.

What happened in September was the biggest event in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty! But at first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was an ordinary thing... I want to send an envoy to the Great Liao Kingdom... (To be continued......)
