When Zhao Chongyang and others opened up overseas territories for China in the South and Western Seas, a series of new changes took place in the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, and the Jin Kingdom.

In the Great Song Dynasty, because Zhao Ji cultivated immortals and worshiped gods, he meditated in Wanshou Mountain for a few days, and rarely asked about the government.

The newly established prince Zhao Gou saw that there was an opportunity, and gradually began to intervene in the government and put together his own team in the court.

Once, after Qin Hui came out of the East Palace Prince's Mansion, he had a secret discussion with Wang Hao, Yang Jian and others, found Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You, and united with his father Lao Cai on the condition of Shaozai and participating in political affairs.

When Zhao Gou handed over the recitals of the civil and military officials to Zhao Ji in Wanshou Mountain, Zhao Ji saw that Cai Jing was old and faint, still greedy for power, and was no longer suitable to be the head of the hundred officials, and he should be retired.

Among them, his son Cai You's twists and turns, it was Zhao Ji's determination that made Cai Jing Zhishi play a key role.

The main reason why Zhao Ji appointed Cai Jing to manage the government for a long time was that Cai Jing was good at figuring out his intentions, catering everywhere, and encouraging Zhao Ji to allow him to sell his official beard, and then the emperor would get the big head and he would get the small head. Therefore, Zhao Ji often praised him for his flexible mind and good at making money.

But now, the Wantong Chamber of Commerce has sprung up, and the business has been the world, which has promoted the circulation of materials in the north and south, and also promoted the prosperity of local markets, adding millions of dollars in taxes to the Great Song Dynasty every year. At the same time, after the fall of Western Xia, the Western Army was reduced, and according to the method formulated by Zhao Chongyang, the military expenditure of the country was reduced by 3 million guan per year.

As soon as it increased-decreased, the treasury of the household department always had a little money to spare, so Zhao Ji's dependence on Cai Jing was greatly reduced, and now seeing that his son thought that he was not suitable to stay in the court, he agreed to the request of the civil and military officials.

The next day, Zhao Ji, who had not been in court for a long time, set up an early dynasty and announced that the Taishi Cai Jing was old, so that he would be a master and live at home. Wang Hao entered Dazai and was promoted to prime minister, Cai You served as the governor of Shaozai, and Qin Hui served as the servant of the ministry.

From then on, the government of the Great Song Dynasty was completely controlled by Wang Huang, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, Qin Hui and others.

Half a year later, Cai You and Cai Yan lost their positions one after another, Zhang Bangchang, Liu Yu and a group of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods entered the court one after another to occupy key departments, and the Cai family father and son completely withdrew from the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty. This happened in August of the second year of the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty.

……

In April of the second year of the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguta, accepted the advice of Jin Wushu and Wanyan Xiyin, and promoted Wanyan Hongyun from the county lord to a princess.

Sent Jin Wushu and Wanyan Xiyin as the main and deputy envoys, and went to Daliao to discuss marriage, saying that only Princess Dajin Hongyun was eighteen years old, and she was the first beauty of Dajin, with the appearance of captivating the country and the city, and practiced martial arts since childhood, with the sassy and heroic posture of the women of the past dynasties, which is even more different from the weak girl of the deep boudoir.

As long as Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao State agreed to establish Princess Hongyun as the queen, Taijin formed an alliance with the Great Liao to jointly attack the Central Plains and divide the splendid country of the Han people equally.

This Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao State was originally a faint monarch, who only knew hunting all day long, indulged in lustful dogs and horses, basically didn't ask about the government, and handed over state affairs to the minister Xiao Jun and others.

After Jin Wushu and Wanyan Xiyin arrived in Daliao, they gave Xiao Jun a generous gift to explain their intentions.

Xiao Jun received the benefits of the Jin people, and had long forgotten the rule that only their Xiao clan could be established as emperors, and preached for a while around Emperor Tianzuo, how beautiful Princess Hongyun was, if she could be established as the queen, the two countries would make friends, form an alliance, advance and retreat together, and it would be easy to take the Han people......

In fact, Emperor Tianzuo doesn't care about other things, he only cares about whether the red princess is young and beautiful, as long as he satisfies this, he will make her the queen. Xiao Jun assured him that since Hongyun was the number one beauty in the Jin Kingdom, she must be incredibly beautiful.

Xiao Jun also said that if the Jin people sent Hongyun here, if they found that she was not beautiful, they would not ally with the Jin people, and we would have nothing to lose.

So Emperor Tianzuo agreed with the Jin people's harmony and asked the Jin Kingdom to send the princess quickly......

At the beginning of June of the second year of the founding of the Dasheng Kingdom, Jin Wushu and Wanyan Xiyin brought Hongyun Gong to, and Emperor Tianzuo saw that it was indeed a national color and fragrance, and it was dressed up, and it was so beautiful that it was unbelievable.

immediately named Hongyun as the queen, and ordered the favored minister Xiao Jun to be responsible for the alliance, and he himself immediately dragged the big beauty Wanyan Hongyun into the harem......

In this way, the Jin State formed an alliance with the Great Liao, and secretly agreed to reorganize the troops and horses and attack the Central Plains two years later.

As a result, the Jin and Liao kingdoms began to expand their armies, train soldiers, store grain and grass, and actively prepare for war......

Since Emperor Tianzuo married Hongyun, he has been lustful day and night. After receiving special training from Yan Xiyin and others, this Hongyun princess succumbed to and catered in front of Emperor Tianzuo, gradually served and became arrogant, and slowly began to interfere in the government and control the military and political power of Daliao.

After Hongyun became the queen of the Great Liao for less than half a year, he asked the Liao Emperor to give an order and sent 30,000 war horses and five stones of grain to the Jin State.

The magnates of the Great Liao Manchu Dynasty, seeing that the Liao Dynasty was in trouble, although they were worried, most of them were wise to protect themselves, and even deliberately curry favor with Hongyun in order to keep their position.

Only the deputy prime minister Yelu Dashi is the champion of the Liao State and is a good person who governs the country. He often advised Emperor Tianzuo to give priority to state affairs. Decisions on major state affairs should be made after re-consultation with the DPRK and the central authorities, and they should not be interfered with by the harem.

Hongyun regarded Yelu Dashi as an enemy, and often slandered him in front of Emperor Tianzuo, saying that Yelu Dashi harbored evil intentions and formed a party for personal gain, and asked Yelu Dashi to be dismissed from the government and confiscated into the army.

Emperor Tianzuo knew that Yelu Dashi was the pillar stone of the Liao State and the nobles of the Great Liao, and his loyalty to the Liao State was unquestionable. As a result, Tianzuo, who is usually obedient to Hongyun, only ignored the disposal of Yelu Dashi.

Last year, a young strategist came to the Yelu Dashi Mansion, and he was a well-educated man from the Central Plains. He told Yelu Dashi that women's interference in politics is a symbol of the country's chaos, and he is afraid that the Liao Kingdom may embark on the road of national destruction from now on. The Empress of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty Wu Meiniang are examples of the past.

The adult is the Great Liao royal family, and he does not plan for himself, but also for the foundation created by the ancestors. If you stay in the court like this, you will not be able to show your ambitions, but you will also have to beware of the slander of the Red Cloud Empress from time to time.

It's better to think of a plan to go out, ask for an insignificant foreign assignment, and then accumulate animal strength and wait for the change of tense. This is the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi in order to avoid the plot of Cao Xiu and others, the implementation of Taoguang and obscurity.

The perfect implementation of this plan enabled Sima Yi and his son to regain power, and finally replaced the Great Wei to unify the Three Kingdoms.

Yelu hit the stone and said: "Since it is to ask for foreign appointment, with the trust of the emperor, you should ask an important place to be in charge of military and political affairs, and when the country is in danger, you can also come forward." ”

The strategist said: "The more important the place, the more it will be stared at, and after you have governed it with some eyebrows, it will become someone else's territory, and finally make a dowry for others." ”

"What does the gentleman think is good?"

"The Northwest Frontier is the best, it's bitter cold. It is dispensable to the Great Liao, if you play the Liao Emperor and ask to stay in the Northwest Great Liao City, the Red Cloud Empress can't wait for you to get out of the court as soon as possible, and she will definitely let the Tianzuo Emperor agree to you immediately. ”

Next, the counselor explained the advantages of going to the northwest, and Jerodashi was finally convinced.

After two days, Yelu played the Liao Emperor on the stone, and it was rumored that the countries in the Western Regions were about to move recently, in a vain attempt to invade the Great Liao in the east, and the ministers were willing to lead 10,000 troops to defend the northwest Liao City.

In order to make a long-term plan, we will always keep the western frontier safe. The minister asked that the clansmen and the families of the 10,000 soldiers be brought with them, so that the soldiers could take root there with peace of mind. lest the soldiers miss their relatives, but they are thousands of miles away and have no way to see each other.

Although Emperor Liao knew that Yelu Dashi was loyal and had the ability to govern the country and secure the country, he always sang in his ear, which was indeed a little annoying, and now you are willing to go to the distant Great Liao City, you can go.

Emperor Liao showed this piece to Empress Hongyun again, and expressed his opinion, and Hongyun really asked Emperor Liao to agree to his conditions, and asked Yelu Dashi to leave quickly......
