Seven days later, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong announced his abdication, and the crown prince Zhao Huan succeeded him as Qinzong.

After the new monarch succeeded to the throne, the first thing to investigate the crime of rebellion of Prime Minister Cai Jing was to implicate a large number of important ministers of the court.

Because Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong purged the imperial court and dealt with a large number of corrupt officials, he was very popular with the people, and the reuse of capable ministers and officials made the court feel new.

Soon after Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne, the Song-Liao negotiations also came to a conclusion, the "Tanyuan Alliance" was officially abolished, and the Song State no longer paid tribute to the Liao State in the future, and the Liao State took the initiative to go to war, causing the losses of the Song army, and compensated 100,000 yuan for the war indemnity.

As soon as the news came out, the people rejoiced, especially in the border areas, the people's aspirations and momentum were high, and many people in the imperial court proposed the Northern Expedition.

Fortunately, Zhao Huan still had his senses and knew that this was not the time to fight with the Liao State, so he issued a holy order to let the Seed Master Dao garrison the border and recuperate.

Liao State relented this time, thanks to Wang Zhong to kill Xiao Dingguo, Zhao Huan deliberately rewarded Wang Zhong at the time of the court meeting, named Wang Zhong as the "Marquis of Jingbian", gave countless gold and silver, and finally appointed Wang Zhong as the left minister, instead of Cai Jing to lead the government.

The reason why Wang Zhong was able to take over the position of the left prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty was because he washed the palace with the strength of the heavenly and human realms, uprooted the power of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and replaced the palace guards with a large number of people from the beggar gang and the Xiaoyao faction.

It can be said that Zhao Huan can succeed as the emperor, it all depends on Wang Zhong's nod, not to mention the marquis and the prime minister, Wang Zhong just wants to change the dynasty.

However, Wang Zhong knew in his heart that now the prestige of the Zhao family is still there, if the dynasty is changed, the government and the opposition will not be satisfied, and the Central Plains will be chaotic.

Therefore, Wang Zhong retreated and begged for the next time, and ordered the princes to be ordered by the Son of Heaven! As long as Zhao Huan was in control, the Great Song Dynasty would be his.

After Wang Zhong took power, he immediately began to intervene in the imperial court, installed a large number of his own people, and began a series of reforms.

The direction of reform is not large, mostly a favorable policy of resting with the people, Wang Zhong learned a lot from the experience of the Ming Dynasty, with the goal of making the country rich and the people strong.

During the reform period, Wang Zhong touched many old interest groups, but fortunately, the beggar gang has unparalleled intelligence in the world, and the free faction has produced a large number of talents, capable of civil and military affairs, and in general, there is no major chaos in the country.

Wang Zhong knew very well the truth that the gun came out of power, so he has always held on to military power, and actively trained a large number of middle and low-level officers, but whenever there was a rebellion, he personally led the troops to quell the rebellion.

With the strength of the "Heaven and Man Realm" and the cooperation of the Great Song military, Wang Zhong quickly quelled the Liangshan Uprising and subdued a large number of generals.

Liangshan has one hundred orders and eight generals, each with a stunt, Wang Zhongren made the best use of it, sent it to the border, and trained by the seed master, so that he could protect his family and defend the country.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the control of the army is extremely strict, and the strength of the border army is generally weak, after Wang Zhong came to power, he immediately changed the status quo, sent a million forbidden troops to the border in batches, and strengthened the national defense force, and the forbidden army finally left only about 200,000 elite soldiers to guard the capital.

Wang Zhongwu was born, naturally the most important benefit, he hates those literati who only take money and do not work, the court selection officials also take hard work as the first, and even have requirements for the performance, try to be concise and clear, highlight the key points, and don't use those clichés to show up.

Wang Zhong hates corrupt officials even more, so the anti-corruption efforts are extremely strong, and it can be said that he is severely punished, and he doesn't know how many corrupt officials died in his hands.

Everyone in the court called Wang Zhong a tyrant, and those who disobeyed it collectively opposed Wang Zhong's rule, but unfortunately in the face of absolute force, those civil officials had no power to fight back at all.

The Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over martial arts, but Wang Zhong emphasized martial arts over literature, canceling a series of privileges for literati, especially the fact that those who are famous do not have to pay taxes.

Wang Zhong stipulated that all the people of the Great Song Dynasty had to pay taxes, even the princess and princess were no exception, except for the emperor and the queen mother, even the crown prince and queen had to pay taxes.

His move completely offended the scholar class, but Wang Zhong didn't care, whoever dared to disobey, he led the troops over to teach him how to be a man.

After quelling the rebellion more than a dozen times, Wang Zhong's ability to lead troops to fight a war skyrocketed, and the opposition voices throughout the country plummeted.

Under the leadership of Wang Zhong, the entire Great Song Dynasty is developing and growing at a very exaggerated rate, both in terms of people's livelihood and military.

The Great Song Dynasty was booming, and the Liao State and Western Xia were not stopping.

After Xiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan knew that Murong and his son were in Western Xia, they originally wanted to go to Western Xia to take revenge in person.

Then something happened that changed their minds.

Because of the battle of Song and Liao, the Liao State suffered a big loss and lost money, and the imperial court did not dare to trouble the Song State, so it targeted Western Xia.

Although the Liao State has been in the Central Plains for a hundred years, it still does not change the inferior nature of the nomads, and it can't grab anything on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, so it turns its target to Western Xia.

This is good, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan didn't have to go to Western Xia to find Murong and his son to take revenge, and directly transferred 200,000 troops to attack Western Xia.

Liao and Western Xia fought several battles, winning and losing each other, and no one took advantage, but they gave Murong and his son the opportunity to accumulate military merits through wars, and slowly became the military boss of Western Xia.

Murong father and son and Xiao father and son have fought several times on the battlefield, which is stronger than the martial arts Xiao father and son, and a little stronger than marching and fighting, Murong father and son.

The two pairs of father and son have fought many times, each with their own victories and defeats, but the Xiao father and son have never been able to take revenge, but Murong father and son have been able to resist the Liao army, and their official positions have become higher and higher, and they have gradually taken charge of the military power of Western Xia.

The more the two countries fought each other, the deeper they feuded, and gradually fought a real fire, compared with the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, the national strength of the Liao State and the Western Xia became weaker and weaker, and they gradually could not hold on.

Three years later, Li Qianshun, the monarch of Western Xia, submitted his credentials to the Great Song Dynasty, hoping that the two countries would attack Liao together!

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan held a pre-imperial meeting, and there were not many people attending the meeting, Wang Zhong on the left, Shi Tai on the national teacher, Li Gang on the right, and Zhao Ji on the right.

In the past three years, Zhao Ji, the emperor, has never asked about political affairs, but he didn't expect to appear at the imperial meeting today.

Zhao Ji and his son sat at the top, followed by Wang Zhong, and everyone else stood at the bottom.

Li Gang, Seed Master Zhong and Shi Tai are all the main battle factions, and the Imperial Council does not have the position of the main and faction, so it is conceivable that this meeting is just a formality!

The person presiding over the meeting was not Emperor Zhao Huan, nor Emperor Zhao Ji, but Wang Zhong, the actual ruler of the dynasty.

That is, after three or two sentences, Wang Zhong set a strategy, first attacking Liao with Western Xia, and then turning back to attack Western Xia, striving to drive the two countries out of the Central Plains at one time and subjugate the Sixteen Continents of Yanyun.

Wang Zhong deliberately transferred back to the Song-Liao border to the Seed Division, and personally led 300,000 troops with him to join the Western Xia army.

This time, the two countries jointly invaded Liao, with the Great Song Dynasty as the main and the Western Xia as the secondary, of which the Great Song sent 300,000 troops, the Western Xia sent 200,000 troops, and the 500,000 troops attacked Liao together.

The commander of the Western Xia Army is still Wang Zhong's acquaintance, Murong Fu.

Although Murong Bo was Murong Fu's father, he did not hold a public position in Western Xia, and joined the army as a close confidant of the commander, and this battle was also the last battle between the Xiao clan and the Murong clan.

Wang Zhong knew from the moment he saw Murong Bo that his life would not be long!
