From the beginning of the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song army's attacks on the Northern Han Dynasty were fruitful, in August of the second year of Song Jianlong, the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao State coalition army repeatedly retreated, which was originally when Zhao Kuangyin went south to deal with Li Yu to tear up the covenant, all the way to Luzhou, Zezhou, however, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly let go of the attack on the Tang State, turned his head to launch a fierce attack on the Han Liao in the north, at this time the Han Liao coalition army did not show the expected results, especially the Northern Han Army, a large number of troops were beaten all the way to the north.

And there is also a significant reason for the defeat and retreat of the Han army, that is, the Han lord Liu Jun has not completely handed over his power to the military generals at this time, for example, at this time, Yang Ye, who is famous in the Central Plains, Yang Ye, is also known as the Yang family general of the later Song State.

For the Song army to go north, the Han and Liao coalition forces carried out a strong blow, and captured a large amount of property, Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin did not appear relieved for a long time, hearing that the Song army led by Cao Bin defeated the main force sent by the Liao State Yelu Shulu in Zhenzhou, the hundred officials in Luoyang City all showed joy and pride, however, Zhao Kuangyin faced an extremely important problem.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was already a thirty-five-year-old middle-aged man, his biological mother Empress Dowager Du's health was deteriorating, which was not conducive to the first battle in the south, and the Han people in the north had been difficult to make a living for a long time.

But he always remembered the teachings of his biological mother, eager to establish merit for his family, after going to Zhou Jiansong, Zhao Kuangyin gathered a lot of people around him, Zhao Kuangyin also accepted them like a benevolent monarch with a broad mind, even if he knew that some officials still intended to restore the Zhou State, although he knew that there was a lot of resistance to what he wanted to do, but he didn't expect these ministers to be so resistant to moving the capital, and some people even said that changing the capital was like changing the dynasty.

When the hundred officials were arguing, Zhao Guangyi led the army into Luoyang, and everyone was also looking forward to it, hoping that Zhao Guangyi could successfully pull the emperor back to Bianliang from Luoyang.

From a historical point of view, although Zhao Kuangyin has always kept in mind the teachings of his biological mother Empress Dowager Du, awarded Zhao Guangyi with important civil and military positions, and cultivated Zhao Guangyi as a successor, the relationship between the two Zhao was not harmonious in the later period, and the starting point of disharmony was the dispute between Luoyang Dingdu.

"You're here to move the capital?" In the Mingde Palace, Zhao Kuangyin just saw Zhao Guangyi entering, and did not give him a sigh of relief, but asked sternly.

"Second brother... I know..."Right now, Zhao Kuangyin's eldest brother Zhao Kuangji is not there, and Zhao Guangyi is obviously unconfident.

"Who is your second brother? Since you want to discuss politics with me, you will discuss it as an official in this palace! Zhao Kuangyin didn't give him a chance to play the family card, and almost angrily reprimanded.

"Official! Since I want to break the brotherhood of the Zhao family, I will also say it bluntly, the hundred officials kneeling outside the hall are all against moving the capital! The official family has always ruled the country with benevolence and virtue, how could they be ruthless and let them kneel here, besides, isn't this a separation from the official court of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"King Jin! I ask you, am I a faint king! Zhao Kuangyin saw that his third brother was chattering endlessly with hundreds of officials, and he also asked angrily.

"Why did the official family say this..."Zhao Guangyi listened to his second brother's question, and immediately became frightened, knelt on the ground and lowered his voice a little.

"Answer me! I'm not a faint king! ”

"The official family is benevolent! Zhiwen! Good governance! Filial piety! Shang Wu..."Zhao Guangyi was cold, just because he had never seen Zhao Kuangyin angry to such an extent, the question just now was basically shouted, and he racked his brains and began to think about calming the anger of the king first, and slowly admonishing the matter of moving the capital.

"Why didn't those hundred officials let me move the capital, don't you know? Since the establishment of the Zhou State, they have made their home in Bianliang, and the large and small forces in the official are rooted in Bianliang..."

"Official, this is all hearsay... My great Song Wenchen is dedicated to the country, how can he..."As soon as Zhao Guangyi heard the word "power", he became nervous, this Bianliang power is intertwined, and he really tracks it down, and he himself has some tricks, but he just thinks that Zhao Kuangyin has not been aware of it, or he is too lazy to notice it, but he didn't expect that he has always known about the collusion between the Bianliang courtiers and the cultivation of forces.

"I'm going to speak! Zhao Guangyi, you bastard, are you bold? became the head of a hundred officials, and even dared to choke on my words? Zhao Kuangyin stood up suddenly, and immediately pointed at Zhao Guangyi's body and scolded angrily.

"Brother don't dare! The subordinate brother is guilty! I hope that the official's family will forgive the sin. ”

"I don't understand, Dali Temple Cheng Lu Mengheng colluded with the former guards of the Bianjing Palace, don't you really know?"

"I don't know! I don't know! ”

"Humph! Shen Yilun colluded with the guards Ma Junsi, don't you know? The young master of the crown prince Fan Zhong colluded with the guards of the palace and the banshi..."Zhao Kuangyin's names all made Zhao Guangyi's heart fall to the bottom, just because these people have more or less to do with him.

"King Jin, I know, you are afraid that I will regret my promise to pass on the country to you, and you are also afraid that my sons Deguang and Dezhao have their own power, so they have something to do with hundreds of officials in Bianliang, and I am the emperor, it doesn't mean that I am blind and don't know anything..."

For Zhao Guangyi, no matter how much he denies, he can't cover it up, so he simply stops speaking, in fact, Zhao Guangyi was the Kaifeng Mansion Yin of Bianjing at this time, and he was in charge of too many important military affairs, and the hundred officials colluded with the Praetorian Guards and the Yasi to cultivate power, and he was naturally clear.

As for why he didn't dare to respond or defend himself after being scolded for a long time, it was of course because most of the military forces colluded with hundreds of officials were his cronies, and once he admitted these to his face, Zhao Kuangyin was angry and uprooted all the cronies he had worked so hard to cultivate, then his years of hard work in Bianliang turned into a bubble, and his dominant position over the crown prince would be gone.

"The collusion between the civil and military families and the civil and military has been difficult to get rid of since ancient times." Zhao Guangyi saw that his second brother's mood eased slightly, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and the mud.

"Of course I know that I can't completely eradicate it, so I want to move the capital to Luoyang!" Zhao Kuangyin stood with his hands in his hands, the expression on his face did not ease, and he still said a little sharply.

"But if you want to rectify the official style and order that there is another way, why do you have to move the capital, besides, after moving the capital to Luoyang, will there be no collusion between hundreds of officials." Zhao Guangyi bowed his head again and again, and hurriedly persuaded.

"King Jin, I moved the capital not only because the Bianliang forces are intertwined, but because Bianliang has no danger to defend! When I conquered the Tang Dynasty, whenever the capital was in Luoyang or Chang'an, I could lead the troops directly to Jinling to capture and kill Li Yu without any worries. ”

"Official, the Han and Liao coalition forces are just a combination of domestic animals and wild animals, the younger brother of the Han Dynasty this time, all the way is like a bamboo, please give the younger brother another 20 days, and the younger brother can take Li Jixun to destroy the domestic animal of the Northern Han Dynasty on the 20th!" Zhao Guangyi was restless, but he could only respond, he himself was not clear whether he could take Taiyuan City on the 20th, but now he had to use any reason to stop Zhao Kuangyin's plan to move the capital no matter what.

"On the twentieth... What if the Northern Han was not taken on the 20th? Even if the Northern Han is taken, there is still the Northern Liao. Zhao Kuangyin pulled down a bitter face and sighed at Zhao Guangyi.

"Take down the domestic animal of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the younger brother personally leads the troops straight into the hinterland of the clouds! Not for two months, no... March! The Liao Kingdom can be destroyed in March! ”

"King Jin, you are too utilitarian, only looking at the present, you... I didn't understand what I meant. Zhao Kuangyin replied reluctantly.

"The official family... Does the official family mean that it has been too long? ”

"Do you know that my plan to use Li Huaijin to destroy the Tang Kingdom has been cracked by Li Yu, and Li Yu took the entire Jingxiang in less than three days from the beginning of the army! It is also known as the righteous killing of 20,000 surrendered troops, as well as the entire family of the Gao clan of Nanping Wang! ”

Zhao Kuangyin looked at his own brother and shook his head again, his younger brother has really disappointed him with the ability he has shown since he led the military and politics, he really can't imagine that if he dies, how will the Great Song Dynasty defeat the strong Liao in the north by relying only on his younger brother.
