At the end of the empire, it was always difficult to return, and the various interests that were in the empire, as well as various families, were all sucking the blood of the empire.

But the problem is that they are the foundation of the empire, and any kind of reform will inevitably hurt their real interests.

It's like an ugly country, everyone knows what the problem of the ugly country is now, but there is no way to change it, you can't cut the lives of the old men on Wall Street, right?

Who in the hall dares to sue this official.

This is also the reason why Liu Bang likes Wang Mang, because although this kid is a usurper of the dynasty, he also blew himself up with all kinds of thunder in the Western Han Dynasty, and attracted the hatred of all classes to him, clearing a lot of obstacles for the Eastern Han Dynasty.

What an angel, this is, there is no such self-denial and devotion to justice.

Therefore, after a comprehensive trade-off, it is better to use force to solve all the problems, which can save a lot of things, and at the same time solve the problem of redundant officials in the Great Song Dynasty.

Redundant officials? It's simple, but the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo need you talents.

Zhao Zhen naturally has no opinion, and he doesn't dare to have an opinion. In fact, he and Yelu Zongzhen don't have much affection, even if they are brothers in name.

Speaking of Yelu Zongzhen, many people may not be impressed. But Yelu Zong's true younger brother Yelu Chongyuan, I believe most people know him. He is the imperial uncle in "Dragon Babu", the Liao State rebelled and was taken away by Xiao Feng with a set of eighteen dragon palms.

Yes, the emperor at that time was Yelu Hongji, that is, Yelu Zong was really good.

"Xiao Zhao, do you know that Yelu Sect really has a younger brother?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

Zhao Zhen said "ah", as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, although he didn't dare to fight the Liao State, he had to understand that the Liao State was a little troublesome: "The immortal master is talking about Yelu Chongyuan, the imperial brother of the Great Liao, right?" Of course I know him, this matter is in the Great Song Dynasty, who doesn't know? ”

"Yelu Chongyuan? Is there anything special about this kid? Zhao Kuangyin immediately became vigilant, could it not be a famous general who fought the Great Song Dynasty particularly ruthlessly?

"There is nothing extraordinary, the main thing is that this kid is the first justifiable imperial uncle in history." Li Qing replied with a smile.

"Uncle Huang? Isn't the first imperial uncle Li Chen? Li Shimin asked puzzledly, why did someone grab the first thing of this thing?

"The first imperial uncle in history was indeed Li Chen, but Li Chen was supported by the eunuchs, not the decision of Li Yan of Tang Wuzong." Li Qing replied, "And Yelu Chongyuan is different, whether it is the emperor's brother or the emperor's uncle, it is his own brother and nephew who sealed it personally. ”

Li Shimin: What you said is so reasonable, I am speechless.

"Huh? He has also become the emperor's uncle? Zhao Zhen became interested at once: "According to the friendship between the emperor's brother Zongzhen and Yelu Chongyuan, I thought that the emperor's brother would pass on the throne to Chongyuan after a hundred years in the future." ”

According to the generation, Yelu Zongzhen and Zhao Zhen are indeed of the same generation. Compared with the age of the two, Zhao Zhen is older, so there is nothing wrong with calling Yelu Zongzhen the emperor's brother.

"How can brothers be so friendly?" Li Shimin's tiger body was shocked.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Li Shimin, his mouth moved, and he didn't dare to stuff back the sentence "If you can't think of it, don't think about it".

"I think that the power of Yelu Zongzhen in the early days of his ascension to the throne was once held by his biological mother Xiao Yunjin, and Xiao Yunjin even had the intention of changing Yelu Zongzhen's younger brother Yelu Chongyuan, but fortunately, Yelu Chongyuan felt that the brothers were close and should cooperate, so he leaked his mother's plan to Yelu Zongzhen."

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Zhao Zhen began to popularize the science of Yelu Chongyuan back then: "Later, the emperor's younger brother Zongzhen took the opportunity to travel and led the guards to eradicate the power of Xiao Yunjin and his henchmen in one fell swoop, and took back the Empress Dowager's Fu Xi, and imprisoned the Empress Dowager Xiao Yunjin in Qingling to guard the mausoleum. Afterwards, Yelu Zongzhen was very grateful for the brotherhood, so he named Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's younger brother, and promised to pass on the throne to him after a hundred years. ”

"I see." Li Shimin nodded suddenly, this is not an ordinary friendship, if he is Yelu Chongyuan, he may ...... He might have to do the same.

Without him, it's not that he has a good relationship with his brother, but the main thing is that even if he is made emperor by Xiao Yunjin, the power of the court will inevitably be in the hands of his mother. And as we all know, there is no mother under power, and he has no doubt that if there is a disturbance, Xiao Yunjin will definitely follow the story of the Great Sage Empress, and it is unknown if he killed this son.

"I didn't expect Zong Zhen to pass away so early, and even his son would be crowned an imperial uncle." Zhao Zhen smiled as he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes.

In fact, after all, gratitude is nothing more than a fervent anticipation of the benefits that are to come. If there is still a threat from the Empress Dowager, for the sake of need, Yelu Zongzhen will definitely fulfill his promise. Liu Bang briefly analyzed, and then said: "According to the Gong, this Empress Dowager Xiao Yunjin was imprisoned in Qingling, and Yeluzong really felt that there was no longer a threat, so he also changed his hexagram. ”

"Bangzi is right," Li Qing gave Liu Bang a thumbs up: "Since the eldest son Yelu Hongji was six years old, he began to train him as his successor, and first named the king of Liang; At the age of eleven, he was the secretary of the general consul and was named the king of Yan; At the age of twelve, he always knew the affairs of the Privy Council in the north and south, added the book order, and entered the king of Yanzhao; At the age of nineteen, he headed the Privy Council of the North and the South; At the age of twenty-one, he was the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, knew about hidden affairs, and participated in the government. When Liao Xingzong was seriously ill, he summoned Hong Ji to "give instructions to govern the country". Therefore, after the death of Yelu Zong of Liao Xingzong, Yelu Hongji successfully inherited the throne for Liao Daozong. ”

In order to appease Yelu Chongyuan, Yelu Hongji named him "Uncle Huang". Yelu Chongyuan must be angry in his heart, if Yelu Zong really didn't promise back then, maybe this matter would have passed. But again and again to give people hope, to stimulate ambition to be aroused, now say change will change? ”

Xinglu Chongyuan thought so at the time. Good guy, when your father was there, he named me the emperor's brother, and after your father lost your throne, he made me the emperor's uncle, what's the matter, I'm your family's spare tire? Li Qing imitated Yelu Chongyuan's thinking, and continued: "In addition, Yelu Chongyuan's son Yelu Nerugu chattered on the side every day, instigating his father to rebel, so Yelu Chongyuan couldn't hold back and raised troops to rebel, this is the Chongyuan Rebellion in the history of Liao. ”

"I don't think Yelu Chongyuan is to blame for this, after all, no one can stand it, the word Uncle Huang is so insulting, this is completely playing him as a monkey." Zhao Kuangyin shuddered: "Yelu Chongyuan has every reason to doubt that if Yelu Hongji's son ascends the throne again, will he be crowned an imperial prince......

Speaking of which, it's good that the imperial uncle had a Li Chen as a precedent back then, but the imperial uncle is different...... It's that.

Every time I dream back late at night, thinking that I was crowned as the emperor, Yelu Chongyuan will always break out in a cold sweat.

No, whoever loves to do this work will do it, and he would rather die than live silently!

Li Longxu sat on the side, his mood very stable.

"Your son and grandson have done so much work, aren't you uncomfortable?" Zhao Zhen asked tentatively.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be horses and cattle for your children and grandchildren." Li Longxu spread his hands, "Eldest nephew, you have a lot to learn, take being an emperor as an example, I think I, who is an uncle, can completely educate and educate you." ”

That's right, when it comes to the level of the emperor, Zhao Zhen is not worthy of lifting shoes for Li Longxu.

- Eldest nephew, my obedient eldest nephew, like you can't be an emperor, your fourth uncle can't stand it.

The court anecdotes of the Liao Kingdom also diluted Zhao Zhen's worries. After thinking about it, Emperor Taizu has returned, and he is still worried about a hammer, and he will be done.

Zhao Zhen rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work hard.

However, the Qingli Dynasty is not ready to stay longer, anyway, there is nothing to do here, just push it all the way.

When he returned to Kaibao Dynasty, Li Qing looked at Zhao Kuangyin, who was counting money, and decided to give him strength.

But he's also a little difficult, first of all...... It is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin's parents to give him strength. The children have become emperors, and the tablets of the eighteenth generation of ancestors have been thrown into the temple for sacrifice, what more can the husband ask for? This is a good thing that the ancestral tomb is smoking.

And his eldest brother Zhao Kuangji died early, so it is impossible to figure out the effect of Zhao Guangyi seeing him Zhao Kuangyin.

Remembering Big Brother...... Li Qing suddenly came up with an idea.

Hey, Zhao Kuangyin does have a good big brother, and he is especially sorry for the kind of good big brother that others.

Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, this is a good big brother who promoted Zhao Kuangyin in the line of fire back then and cultivated it with one hand.

And in fact, there is a big problem, Chai Rong is the adopted son of Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and has officially changed his surname to Guo. His son Chai Zongxun should actually be called Guo Zongxun. In the early Song Dynasty, both the court and the people were calling them Guo Rong and Guo Zongxun, but later it was probably for their own orthodoxy, Zhao Kuangyin, a kid who was repairing the "History of the Old Five Dynasties", forcibly changed people's surnames.

Zhao Kuangyin is sorry for Chai Rong, but he is sorry!

(For convenience, this article is still called Chai Rong)

In June of the sixth year of Xiande, Zhaoyi Jiedu made Li Yun conquer Liaozhou in the Northern Han Dynasty and capture his assassin Zhang Pidan. In the same month, Chai Rong returned to Kaifeng after the Northern Expedition due to illness, relieved Zhang Yongde of his position as the former capital of the palace, ordered Zhao Kuangyin to take over, and named his eldest son Chai Zongxun as the king of Liang. On June 19 of the same year, Chai Rong died of illness at the Kaifeng Long Live Hall at the age of 39 at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, a total of six years of reign.

It can be said that Zhao Kuangyin was picked up by Chai Rong. Without Chai Rong sealing him in front of this palace, the nursery rhyme of the Son of Heaven will not be Zhao Kuangyin's turn, and he will not have the opportunity to play a "yellow robe".

Now Li Qing is alone, standing in the Hall of Long Live in the sixth year of Xiande, and in front of him is Chai Rong, who is sick and weak.

"You...... Who are you? Although Chai Rong said that he was sick, he did not reduce the power of the Son of Heaven in the slightest.

At the same time, he was secretly frightened. Being able to touch into the palace silently, this person must not be simple.

"Brother Guo doesn't have to be anxious, I'm a friend of Zhao Kuangyin, I'm here to see you." Li Qing smiled and dragged over a brocade pier and sat on it with a loud bang.

"Sweet boy?" Chai Rong frowned and looked at Li Qing suspiciously.

He probably didn't believe in such a thing as seeing a doctor. In the entire capital, who doesn't know that the current emperor has no medicine?

No way! Xiang Boy is a good brother of so-and-so! How can you do such a rebellious thing?

When it comes to trust, Zhao Kuangyin, a comrade for many years, is obviously worthy of his trust. This ...... in front of you Strange person, who is the one who came to drive a wedge between him and Xiang Boy?

Even at this time, Chai Rong's first thought was to defend Zhao Kuangyin.

Li Qing has been mixing with the emperor's pile for many years, and even the stones smell like they're smoking. Of course, he knew what Chai Rong was thinking, and couldn't help but glance at Chai Rong with pity.

Chai Rong was very uncomfortable with Li Qing's eyes, since he became the emperor, no one dared to look at him with such eyes.

"What kind of eyes are you?" Chai Rong coughed weakly twice.

"You're going to die." Li Qing sighed, looked at the Empress Dowager Fu and Guo Zongxun who were walking inside outside the palace, and stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

The two who were walking towards the palace immediately froze as if they were petrified.

Of course, Chai Rong couldn't see the situation outside the palace, he knew what his body was like, and his mind was spinning, and he didn't feel that Li Qing looked like a person who was going to do something wrong.

And...... The person in front of him looked very simple, this was Chai Rong's first impression.

Imagine who can face an emperor without changing his face, as if facing an ordinary person?

If Li Qing knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh.

Emperor immediately? Cao, the emperor's TOP2 right away, Li Shimin and Zhu Di have all seen it, no matter how much you kid criticizes, can you compare to the two of them?

Hearing that he was about to die, Chai Rong's first reaction was not to feel offended, but to frown and ask, "I don't know...... What is the relationship between Mr. and Xiang Boy? ”

Your own body, you know it. If this disease can be cured, it won't take so long, and Chai Rong has been dreaming about it recently, dreaming that Guo Wei came to pick him up with his brothers.

The most important thing is that when he turned his head just now, he saw with his own eyes that the guards in the hall were like clay wooden tires, and the pestle was motionless there.

"You say I'm with Xiang Boy?" Li Qing smiled and patted Chai Rong's shoulder: "I am friends with him, but they all call me ...... Immortal Master. ”

"You're an immortal?!" Chai Rong sat up in shock when he was dying.

Yes, it all fits.

If you weren't an immortal, how could you have such magical powers?

"In June, the emperor collapsed in the Hall of Long Live, and the holy life was thirty-nine." Li Qing began to read him the history of the five dynasties: "Jiawu, Xuan Legacy, King Liang is the emperor in front of the coffin, and the service is still the same as the month and the day. On that day, the ministers were located in the east of the palace, and the Chinese and foreign mourned. In August of the same year, the Hanlin bachelor and the judge of Taichang Temple Dou Yan said that Emperor Ruiwu Xiaowen, the temple name Sejong. In November, Ren Yinshuo was buried in Qingling. ”
