Recovering the River Chapter

When the glass of wine was placed in front of her, she was completely stunned. There is only one possibility for sending this thing from thousands of miles away - the wine is poisonous!

But in Western Xia, poisoning her, the queen mother in power, is really too fantastic! She wanted to resist, she wanted to refuse, but she found that everything had changed. Even her son Li Qianshun can't wait for her to die early! In this way, he can have real imperial power and save Western Xia from this group of crazy and stupid Liang family!

Xiao Liang was poisoned in this way, and the Liang clan was exterminated. 16-year-old Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun officially pro-government.

On February 11, the first thing Li Qianshun did after taking power was to send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to mourn and apologize. The gambling curse swore that he would be a super good baby after he was in power. At the same time, he also sent envoys to Daliao to mourn, and asked for assistance and marriage. On March 13, Xiao Dechong, the envoy of the Great Liao, sent another envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to intercede for the Western Xia. On May 20, Xiao Yaoshi returned to Liao and played Emperor Liao: Song has dismissed the army.

At this time, the initiative was already in the hands of the Song Dynasty. The situation has never been so favorable! With such a good handful of cards, who knows how to play, right? Keep the war going! Even if you can't finish it in one battle, and fight two or three more battles, it will be a matter of time before the Western Xia will fall to the country!

But the theory is far from the reality, and the Song Dynasty actually agreed to the Western Xia's sue for peace. The relationship between the two countries quickly returned to the old road - the Western Xia grovelled as a grandson, and the Song Dynasty gave a large amount of New Year's money to the grandson every year!

Depressed! After years of bloody battles, Zhang Qi and other front-line soldiers exhausted their efforts, and it can be said that the throat of the Western Xia Kingdom was stuck and sent to Kaifeng City, as long as the bigwigs are willing to raise their knives for the nation and hatred, and wave them down, don't think about it! Even if he can't destroy the country, at least he can force Li Qianshun to revise the contract and remove the year! But the reality is that it has taken the old road! Nothing was gained except to slowly advance the fortress forward and continue to occupy the land. It's a puzzling result! Why did the Song Dynasty go to war in the first place, and why did it fight to this scale?

For this reason, the official reason given in the history books is that there is no money!

Speaking of money. This is the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty, and it is the favorite topic of people who have studied Song history for more than a thousand years. How much money did the Song Dynasty have? How many are there in each period? How much did each battle cost? I'm also curious, can anyone tell me the following question about money? The money of the Song Dynasty has been in a hurry since the Renzong Dynasty, and it reached the poorest in the Yingzong Dynasty, and suddenly became rich after entering the Shenzong Dynasty, but the official record: It was gone again when it arrived in the Zhezong Dynasty!

The first 9 years of tossing and turning of the Empress Dowager Gao, not innovating but only abolishing, not operating and only spending, did make the Song Dynasty empty. After that, Zhang Dian tried to restore the new law, but the situation never reached the Xifeng period, and many battles were fought, theoretically speaking. The official records written by the old party seem to be correct? It's really out of money!

So may I ask: Zhezong's next generation, the magical emperor Song Huizong, he built a lot of construction, was extremely poor and luxurious, regarded Kaifeng City as a back garden, and regarded the entire Song Dynasty as a toy processing store, Cai Jingjing shouted out the 4 words "Fengheng Yuda", where did he get the money?

There are only two possibilities. First, Cai Jing and others have super energy, scraping the ground throughout the Song Dynasty, playing while scraping, and supporting the unprecedented erosive life of the entire superstructure. This is the mainstream saying. But according to the records of the mainstream, the land of the Song Dynasty has long been scraped to the core by Wang Anshi and Zhang Dun, and there is no oil and water left at all, which is the biggest evidence of the law change. Unchangeable! Then it's inconsistent! Which is accurate? You can't kill two people in one crime, right?

The second possibility is that Song Shenzong's money has been handed down. The official records of the Song Dynasty are quite confusing, and there are various versions of the legends outside the mainstream version, among which there is the money of the new policy of Shenzong until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty!

So why is it that there is still in the time of Huizong, but why is it empty in the time of Zhezong? Both launched a war of such a scale. Even the Great Liao Kingdom has been offended, how can it be so easy to give up in a good situation? There must be a reason for that! The reason is never money!

It's just a cover-up, a fig leaf. It is used to block the scandals created by the Queen Mother and her group that are not humane to outsiders. And the young Song Zhezong exhausted his short life in these scandals! Actually: Song Zhezong's health at this time is really very poor, and at this time, it should be Empress Dowager Xiang and her group who are dominating the Great Song Dynasty... The Zhezong Dynasty was destined to be an epiphany, and although it was brilliant and brilliant, it only bloomed for a short time. The reason for this is still the Empress Dowager Gao! She's so clever, she's in control!

Song Zhezong's old illness accumulated from his youth has relapsed! He was a precocious child, who was suppressed and even hated during the most important period of his long body from the age of 10 to 19! This negativity ruined his dragon body... It is recorded that Zhezong had a chronic illness when he was a teenager and often coughed up blood...

As an emperor, how big is it to cough up blood regularly? It's time to use the whole country to treat it, right? But the Empress Dowager Gao is not! She even prevented the treatment!

She strictly ordered the first not to spread the disease, the second not to ask for a doctor, the third not to use a spit pot when coughing, to catch it with a handkerchief, and then the inner attendant hid it, and no one was allowed to know the way! If the above three points are still for political purposes and keep the leader's health secret, then the fourth point is simply the murder of the young emperor! Empress Dowager Gao strictly ordered: After the imperial doctor sees a doctor, he is not allowed to say anything like qi weakness and weakness... Even if you are not allowed to talk about qi deficiency and weakness, how can you treat coughing up blood?

Is this a grandmother to a grandson? There is also a face who wails to the minister before she dies: how carefully she protects Zhezong! Do you dare to take credit for protecting tuberculosis?

This is the person who was propagandized by the old party as 'Female Zhong Yao Shun'! It turns out: she and her husband Song Yingzong are really a perfect match! The husband is a selfish and unfilial animal, and the wife is a shameless evil old lady! What are the chances that such a pair of babies can get together?

In July, there was a big incident on the Xihe Road of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the Huangbu of the Tubo River! That vast land was originally recovered by Wang Shao, a famous general of the Shenzong Dynasty, and the Tubo people were already obedient, but in the early days of the Zhezong Dynasty, the Song Dynasty itself was troubled! Empress Dowager Gao, the old bastard, they don't feel distressed about selling Yetian, they return the 4 villages to the Xixia people unconditionally, and they disdain the farther Xihe Road. What's the big deal about a wild land that you can't see? For the sake of the smiling face of the friendly country, I will return it too!

Although the old bastard was yelled at by the understanding people, he didn't dare to sell the country at zero price, but the support for Xihe Road was not as good as day by day. There has always been a shortage of much-needed troops, supplies, military salaries, etc., and if you can't give it, you won't give it! The strength of the Xihe army has seriously declined, and the Yuan You period can only protect itself. Now that Zhezong is in power, the military focus of the Song Dynasty has shifted to the northwest, and it is necessary to understand it with the Western Xia. in a series of wars. Especially in the battles of Pingxia City led by Zhang Qi, the Xihe Army has always been the main force! The Xihe Army is no longer stationed on Xihe Road, so the situation on Xihe Road can be imagined! The children and grandchildren of Wo Luo are resurrected!

The new Tubo Zampu is blind and murderous, and the tribe is centrifuged. The great chief of Tubo, Mu Qinyu, had different aspirations, but he was afraid of the heroic and wise uncle of the blind expedition, so he accused him of plotting rebellion, and killed him without detecting the blind expedition, and punished the southern Jiangsu party and the clan. Only one Qiang man named Zhuluo Jie fled to Xibawen in the Longqi tribe. Xibawen is a relative of the father and son of Na Guluo and Dong Yu, although the blood relationship is relatively distant, but when Dong Yu passed the position of Tubo Zampu to his adopted son Ali Gu, Xibawen was still furious. So he came to the Longkui Department to plot the position of Zampu. Now, the eldest son of Xibawen is king, according to the city of Xige. But he was immediately killed by Blind Expedition. Such indiscriminate killing, blind conscription finally aroused public outrage! Xibawen immediately entered the city of Xige and became king! The Tubo tribes betrayed and surrendered, and Xibawen immediately sent troops on all four routes, and almost the entire territory of the Great Song Xihe Road fell! At this time, Luo Jie had fled to Hezhou in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, met the famous general Wang Gan, and suggested to Wang Zhan that the Song Dynasty should send troops again to pacify the Great Song Xihe Road and the Tubo River Huangbu!

At this time, Song Zhezong was seriously ill and difficult to recover, and the prime minister Zhang Dian agreed to Wang Zhan's plan to regain Xihe Road. The Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty went out again. July 25th. Wang Zhan captured Miaochuan City. In August, Blind Zheng also knew that the tribe was divided, and it was difficult for him to sit on the position of Zampu. So he came from Qingtang City to Hezhou to surrender Wang Zhan. After he left, Mu Qinyu immediately welcomed Xibawen into Qingtang City. The son of Limu Zheng is the new generation of Tibetan Zampu. In September, Wang Zhan's army came to Qingtang City, and Longshu and Xibawen surrendered. Xihe Road was calmed down again. Miaochuan City was renamed Huangzhou, and Qingtang City was renamed Shanzhou. It's just that: although the 2 chieftains of Longhua and Xibawen have fallen, the vast number of Tubo and Qiang people in this land have no intention of returning to the Han... Sure enough, it was leap September. Taking advantage of the opportunity for Wang Zhan and Wang Shu to compete for merit, Mu Qinyu once again relied on the Tubo people in Qingtang City to recapture Qingtang City. The Qiang people rebelled as well. At the same time, the city of Miaochuan was also besieged by the Tibetans. The situation on Xihe Road is dangerous again!

Wang Shu defended Huangzhou (Miaochuan City) and finally repelled 100,000 Tubo and Qiang people. And Wang Gan's Western Army went out again, killed 9 people including Jieqi and Mu Qinyu, and regained Shanzhou (Qingtang City) again. The new leader of the Hehuang and Tubo tribes, the son of Mu Zheng, Longshu, the princess of Daliao, the princess of Western Xia, and the Uighur princess who married into Tubo were all captured alive and escorted by Wang Zhan, crossing thousands of miles of Gobi and entering Kaifeng City!

An unprecedented victory! This is another brilliant victory after the victory of Pingxia City! If Shenzong is alive and Zhezong is not sick, I don't know what height the Song Dynasty will reach next? Wang Zhan was appointed as the governor of Shanzhou, and Wang Hou, the son of Wang Shao, was appointed as the governor of Huangzhou.

Unfortunately, when this group of captives arrived in the capital, Song Zhezong was terminally ill and could no longer govern at all. They were imprisoned until Zhao Ji ascended the throne and hung the curtain to the Queen Mother, and the Tubo people themselves couldn't believe that their fate could be changed like this...

During the period when Xihe Road repeatedly competed for each other, another greater happy event of the Great Song Dynasty came: on August 8, Liu gave birth to a son for Song Zhezong! Liu was proclaimed empress one month later on September 8.

All right! Everything was perfect? A young emperor, a healthy crown prince, to ensure that the two generations of the Song Dynasty are worry-free? How nice a day like this is, but alas...

The first to fall was the crown prince, who was less than 3 months old. On the 26th of the 9th month of the leap month, he died. was posthumously given the name Zhao Mao. This baby was congenitally deficient, even if Song Zhezong tried everything to save it, he couldn't save it! It's also normal to think about it. How can a father, who has coughed up blood since he was a teenager, give birth to a strong son?

Zhao Xu was very sad, and then he also collapsed, and by December, Song Zhezong's 23-year-old dragon body was frighteningly weak. He coughed all day and didn't think about eating. I just barely ate something, and as soon as I bent over, I immediately vomited. The stomach is full of medicines, all kinds of medicines are eaten non-stop, insomnia all night, and I can't go to the palace to deal with government affairs, so I can only send them to the dormitory...

At this point, the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty has arrived! It's not about Song Zhezong's health problems, but about the political situation. The emperor was alone in the deep palace, getting sicker and sicker, and it was difficult to get out of bed. Zhang Dian and other close ministers could only enter the palace occasionally, and their contact with the emperor became less and less... Femoral humeral separation, this is the biggest taboo in the feudal era! What's more, the emperor is also surrounded by the eyeliner of the Queen Mother! This led directly to what happened later, and it was just some official narrative record...

On December 3, Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun sent envoys to apologize. The two sides reconciled again. The Song Dynasty gave the same to the Western Xia.

On January 5, 1100, the 3rd year of Yuanfu, the ministers of Zaizhi ended their annual leave ahead of schedule, gathered in the court, and applied for an audience with the emperor to observe Song Zhezong's condition up close. But after a while, the eunuch came out and said that the emperor was seriously ill and did not receive him. Not only today, but also the day after tomorrow...

The ministers went home depressed, and when they arrived on the 8th, they came again in high spirits. This day is very special, not only the day after tomorrow last time, it is possible to receive it, but also the death day of Song Yingzong, the grandfather of Zhezong. It stands to reason that as long as Song Zhezong can still support it, he will definitely come out to worship his ancestors?

I waited until the night. The ministers looked at the snowflakes falling slowly outside the hall, and their hearts became heavier and heavier. Zhao Xu is strong, as long as he can move a little, he will definitely come out, but there is still no news until now... After nightfall, the news came. Song Zhezong kept struggling, but he couldn't get up, his vomiting became more and more severe, and he couldn't even speak... The eunuch said: I saw the emperor crying...

The deacons looked at each other and knew what they were going to do. From the 9th, presided over by Zhang Tun, fasting prayers were made all over the capital to pray for Song Zhezong. Zeng Bu suggested amnesty to the world and ordered the world's five famous mountain ancestral temples to pray for Song Zhezong... I began to do my best and resigned myself to the fate of heaven...

On the 10th, the ministers finally met Song Zhezong. This day is the day when the Dading Hall of Jingling Palace was completed and the throne of Song Taizong was placed, and after the ministers presided over Song Zhezong, they finally entered the emperor's bedroom on the grounds of reporting. In the Funing Palace, Song Zhezong wore a hat and sat on the throne neatly dressed, although he was thin but his expression was peaceful and happy, he talked with Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu for a few words, all of which were official words such as inquiring about his condition and reporting work. Soon dispersed...

That night, the ministers did not return home, but remained in the depths of the palace, watching and waiting for the emperor's illness. (To be continued......)
