In December, Zhao Baozhong (i.e. Li Jipang) returned an edict and reported that Li Jiqian surrendered. The purpose was to achieve the goal, regardless of whether it was true or false, the Liao son-in-law surrendered to the Song Dynasty, which was at least a major diplomatic victory. On the 18th, Li Jiqian was appointed as the governor of Yinzhou.

This year, the Great Khitan began their first imperial examination in history. Only one person was admitted in this subject, and the real best was selected. His name was Gao Di.

On January 11, 2018, Duangong (989), Yelu Longxu ordered all troops to gather under the city of Yizhou. On the 21st, the city was broken the next day. Liu Ji, the governor of Yizhou of the Song Dynasty, surrendered to Liao. He then appointed Ma Zhi as the governor of Yizhou of the Great Liao Dynasty, and announced his withdrawal. He returned to Youzhou on the 29th.

On January 11, the emperor asked civil and military officials to prepare border strategies. Zhang Wei, Wang Yuxi, Tian Xi and others made their own speeches.

On March 7, Yu Yue, Song King, and the God of War Yelu Xiuge held a grand ceremony of rebirth. According to the Liao system, only the emperor and the queen mother could hold a ceremony of rebirth. Yelu Xiuge won this honor for his brilliant military achievements, which is an exception. But Xiuge himself may not know that this was his last time to be prominent. Because more than 4 months later, he will meet the nemesis he was killed...

On July 6, because Zhao Pu recommended, Zhang Qixian was transferred to the court and served as deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor.

Yelu Xiuge received news in July that the Song army's Weihuo army was not enough food and grass. Zhao Guangyi ordered Li Jilong to send a large number of elite troops to escort thousands of grain trucks to rescue emergency services. Food and grass, grain roads... Yelu Xiuge was inspired as soon as he heard this. He personally led tens of thousands of elite cavalry, not only to destroy the food and grass of the Song army, but also to take the opportunity to eliminate Li Jilong's troops.

On the march, the God of War encountered a small team of patrolling the Song army by chance. There were only more than a thousand soldiers in the mixed infantry and cavalry. The God of War ignored it and pretended not to see it. But he didn't know that this was the only fatal mistake he made in his life...

The leader of the Song army had a big black face, and his name was Yin Jilun. He summoned his subordinates. "These bastards regarded themselves as swords and chopped us as fish. They must have gone to war. If they win, they would snatch us to the north when they come back. If they lose, they would vent their anger when they come back. For today's plan, we should roll up armor and follow them. Give them a surprise attack. If they win, we will make great contributions. If they lose, they will still not lose their loyalty and righteousness. What do you think?"

So, Yin Jilun's entire team immediately followed the Khitans quietly and followed around Tanghe in the last battle. He didn't want to shoot and worked quietly... Just the next morning, before dawn, when the Khitans were just having breakfast, Yin Jilun and his thousand subordinates suddenly rushed into the camp of tens of thousands of people, and chopped them as soon as they saw them. He directly chopped Yelu Xiuge's handsome tent. Xiuge was having breakfast, and the chopsticks were still in his hand, but a Song soldier rushed to the front, and almost cut off his arm with a knife. According to records, this was the first time the God of War was on the battlefield.

At the same time, Li Jilong, his deputy Kong Shouzheng in Dingzhou City, and Fan Tingzhao from Zhenzhou were all alarmed. The army was covered and killed, and Yelu Xiuge was seriously injured and fled. In this battle, the Liao army suffered unprecedented setbacks. After this battle, there were two sentences in "History of Song Dynasty" that "the Liao people dared not go south for several years" and "the Liao people warned each other: "The king Yin Jilun should avoid the black face." After that, Li Jiban should be watched by Li Jiban. The performance of Li Jiqian, the Dangxiang brothers, would make the Song Dynasty and the Khitan dizzy.

In January of the first year of Chunhua (990), Zhao Pu was dismissed from prime minister due to illness. On December 9, the Great Khitan wanted to offset the influence of Li Ji's relocation to Song two years ago. Song Dynasty appointed him as the governor of Yinzhou, and appointed his son-in-law Li Jiqian as the King of Xia.

On June 7, 2011, the 2nd year of Chunhua (991), Pan Mei, the most brave general of the Northern Song Dynasty, died. This was a real soldier. It was his purity that he was inferior to others in the officialdom. This was not his shame, but his glory! Perhaps his military talent was too high, so both the monarchs of Zhao and Song dynasties were wary of him! Think about it, why did Cao Bin give the sword to Shangfang during the Southern Tang Dynasty? Why didn’t he be the main general during the Northern Expedition? Beware of the generals among the generals!

Pan Mei’s father Pan Lin was just an ordinary military academy. When he started, he was destined to start from the lowest level. But he had great ambitions and once said to his friend Wang Mi, "The Han Dynasty is about to end, and evil ministers are rampant, and there are signs of change in the world. A real man does not establish fame and fortune at this time, and he will be ashamed to share the same things with all things." Just as a real man was born in a chaotic world, he should carry a three-foot sword to establish a great achievement for the world, and to ascend to the rank of the emperor.

Pan Mei's fame began with the Battle of Gaoping, the first battle of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong. Although there was no accurate record, he was promoted to the deputy envoy of Xishanggemen after the war. From then on, he made his mark in the Later Zhou dynasty and was recognized by Zhao Kuangyin. Later, Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao mutiny, Pan Mei dared to return to Kaifeng first, causing all the civil and military officials of the Later Zhou Dynasty to panic when they heard him sending messages. The Empress Dowager took the little emperor out of the palace to take refuge. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Pan Mei rode alone into Shaanxi and brought Zhao Kuangyin's political enemy Yuan Yan to the capital to meet.

According to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin returned to Kaifeng on the day of the mutiny. When he entered the palace to clear the remains of Chai Rong, he found Chai Rong's two youngest sons. One of them was King Ji. Zhao Kuangyin asked what to do. Zhao Pu smiled slightly and replied with only two words "Go to it". People around him agreed. Only Pan Mei pinched the pillar with her hands and lowered her head without saying a word. Zhao Kuangyin asked, "You think it's not okay." Pan Mei was silent. Zhao Kuangyin sighed, "Alas! As the position of a person, I can't bear to do it." At this time, Pan Mei said, "I am both in the north serving Zhou Shizong. I advise Your Majesty to kill him, and he will betray Shizong. I advise Your Majesty not to kill him. Your Majesty will doubt me." But he still took Chai Rong's son home and raised him as his nephew. From then on, Zhao Kuangyin did not ask, and he would never mention it. This is Pan Mei. He can pursue fame and fortune and compete for merit, but he will never do anything to destroy his conscience!

Later, Zhao Guangyi was ambitious and sent Pan Mei, Cao Bin and Tian Chongjin to lead three troops to recover the 16 states of Yanyun. Pan Mei was in charge of the West Road. It was this time that the most criticized thing in his life happened - the failure of the Northern Expedition and Yang Ye died in the battle. But please look at the overall situation. Pan Mei destroyed all the way, leading to the four states of Huan, Shuo, Yun, and Ying. He made too fast, making Cao Bin, the main attacker of the East Road, look like a clumsy. Cao Bin was at the two ends of the rat, and he was suddenly moved back and retreated, causing the defeat of Qigou Pass. Cao Bin was defeated, and Pan Mei had to retreat. Then the regret of Yang Ye being defeated in Chenjiagu and fighting for his country. Looking at the root, if there was no Cao Bin's defeat, how could Pan Mei retreat? How could Yang Ye die? But Pan Mei felt guilty and was unhappy, until she died of illness in Taiyuan.

Throughout Pan Mei's life, she is worthy of being a hero in her lifetime and a great man. It's a pity that an unknown person wrote the book "Romance of the Yang Family Generals", and since then Pan Renmei has become an unforgivable evil person. The reason why he can call for the wind and rain is entirely because his daughter is Zhao Guangyi's Empress of the West Palace.

It’s a pity that Pan Mei’s daughter is the daughter-in-law of Emperor Zhenzong of Song and Zhao Guangyi’s daughter-in-law! She died before Zhenzong ascended the throne. The one who was posthumously named "Empress Zhanghuai" who was posthumously named after Zhenzong ascended the throne was Cao Bincai! The granddaughter of the first general married Song Renzong. Later, there was a stronger great-granddaughter, the Queen Mother Gao who helped a man who smashed the jar and restored the old one.

Pan Mei, Cao Bin... This is the Gemini constellation shining on the battlefield in the early Song Dynasty, the pride of the Han people. However, Cao Bin was praised at that time and admired by later generations. Pan Mei was scattered and was rumored to be a generation of evil... It's not a pity for her husband! Every penny he earned from the Zhao Song official family was filled with blood on the battlefield. When thrown on the ground, every piece was enough to hurt Cao Bin's feet. But this is fate. Since the Song Dynasty, China has become a world of misunderstandings in working, and only those with good personalities have been rewarded...

In July, Li Jiqian heard that the Song general Zhai Shousu was going to send troops to attack him, and hurriedly announced his surrender again. The price was that he had also been changed, and he was called Zhao Baoji from then on. In addition, Zhao Baozhong (i.e. Li Jipang) also recommended his younger brother Li Jichong. OK! Change his name too! From now on, you are called Zhao Baoning. In October, Li Jipang didn’t know what medicine he took this wrong. Maybe Xiao Jiji robbed all his privileges in the Song Dynasty? Or did he also want to marry a princess of the Liao Kingdom? So he also surrendered to the Khitan. Well... the princess is gone for the time being, but I will also give you a high-ranking official - King Xiping. How about it? It’s higher than the Song Dynasty, right? Not so, Zhao Baozhong was angry. Xiao Mianji is now the king, I am a king? Do you know that Xiao Mianji is also a member of the Song Dynasty? Do you really don’t know?

Empress Xiao was furious and the bastard Dangxiang was a damn little boy! She married my princess from Liao and became an official in the Song Dynasty! This is absolutely untolerable! In December, she sent general Han Dewei to lead his troops to question the crime!

In February of the third year of Chunhua (992), the mother-in-law of the Liao Kingdom came to curse, let him go... Li Jiqian was sick and did not see guests... So Han Dewei had to extricate himself from other Dangxiang people. He came to a traditional Khitan sports, fought a huge Caogu, and then returned to China to pay...

On July 14, Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister of the Song Dynasty, died in Luoyang, the western capital of the Song Dynasty, at the age of 71. Looking at the life of the first prime minister, it can be divided into three stages: in the first stage, he was very glorious, from a civilian to a founding prime minister, and was alone for 10 years. This is rare in the long river of history, but it can be compared with Qin Prime Minister Li Si and Han Prime Minister Xiao He. Later, his fate was very similar to these people, and he was at the brink of death, and he would even be ruined at any time. In the second stage, he was pure.

The reappearance of his identity as a speculative politician helped the emperor and saved himself, and returned to the peak from the bottom of his life. In the third stage, Zhao Pu did not use power methods in the last five years of his life, and did not use power or deceive, but instead used real work to make the political enemies of the past and the emperor of the present sincerely accept him, and let his descendants take him as an example, so that his political behavior and typical political techniques will continue to appear in the years to come. Such people are usually called "peerless men".

On August 1, the "Secret Pavilion" in the heart of Zhao Guangyi, the "Secret Pavilion" of the Song Dynasty New Library was completed. On the 7th, the emperor personally wrote the "Secret Pavilion" in Feibai calligraphy. Since then, he has been leading the prime minister, Privy Councilor, close minister, and even military generals to study in the secret hall, so that the whole world can know the prosperity of the literary and religious scholars of the Song Dynasty!

On November 10, Zhao Guangyi's second son, the quasi-Crown Prince, Kaifeng Yin, and Xu Wang Zhao Yuanxi went to work normally, but as soon as he sat in the waiting room of the morning court, the palace hut, he felt uncomfortable. He could not support him immediately, so he went home immediately. Zhao Guangyi then rushed there, and Yuanxi was already lying on the bed. He could still answer his old father at the beginning, but he died in a very short time. He was only 27 years old.

Zhao Guangyi witnessed his son's death with his own eyes, and was heartbroken, holding the corpse and crying, and posting him as the crown prince Gongxiao. The emperor was still crying all night in the palace, wandering and sleeping, and wrote the "Poems of Thoughts on the Dead Son" repeatedly and chanting it to his close ministers...

But in a blink of an eye, a new order was reported in the palace: to remove personnel at all levels in Kaifeng Prefecture and Xu Prince's Mansion to investigate and investigate. Yuan Xi's favored concubine Zhang was sentenced to death, his parents' cemetery was destroyed, and relatives were exiled. On the 27th, Zhao Yuanxi's crown prince funeral was suspended, and he was demoted to a funeral of only a first-rank official.

The gap is too big. What is the reason? Yuan Xi's death method fell in the eyes of Zhao Guangyi, who had studied medicines and especially poisonous wine, and his characteristics were too obvious. I immediately investigated and dealt with the serious case. Zhao Guangyi sent the eunuch Wang Jien to take action personally. Remember this person? On the night when Zhao Kuangyin died, it was he who led Zhao Guangyi into the palace. On the night when Zhao Guangyi died, it was him who wanted to carry out the second coup of "Axe Sound and Candle Shadow".

The case was quickly solved, and then the sudden changes above occurred.

Wu Zetian, in a narrow sense, is unique because she is the emperor. But in a broad sense, there is more than Wu Zetian who has achieved actual dominance. There was one in the Northern Song Dynasty. In ancient times, if a woman wanted to reach such a position, she had to take the same path - being a royal concubine. If the success rate was higher, you should fight for the position of empress during the wedding before the emperor took power. If you want to try your own eyes, then go to the many princes to try your luck. If the prince you married became the crown prince, then congratulations, Wu Zetian's shadow appeared in you. This is the case with the Northern Song version of Wu Zetian. At this time, she had been in the capital for many years and was still in absolute obscurity. No matter which condition is used, she is far inferior to Zhang, the current favorite concubine of the quasi-Crown Prince Zhao Yuanxi, and is closer to Wu Zetian's height.

At this time, Zhang was the one who said that he had not only built a large tomb for his dead parents beyond the specifications, but also killed servants in the mansion every now and then. The strength had already overwhelmed the wife of the main wife Li. Yuanxi and Zhang had made a private agreement to abolish Li and make Zhang the main wife. But it was not urgent. The deposed princess was much more troublesome than the court dismissing an official. But Zhang didn't care, especially she had been used to killing people, so what's the point of killing another person? I thought of it! She secretly offered a high price and asked someone to make a special wine pot with two inner lids inside. One puts wine and the other puts poisonous wine. On that day, before Zhao Yuanxi left, Zhang took the wine pot for him and Li to pour wine. But I don't know what disease Zhao Yuanxi had that day, suddenly expressed intimacy to the eldest lady in public, and the wine glasses were exchanged, and a super cup of wine came... The tragedy happened like this.

Zhang originally wanted to kill the love rival with Wu Zetian's cruelty to kill his daughter, but unexpectedly, she killed her own support. Her methods were rough and inferior. She was fundamentally far worse than the genuine Northern Song Dynasty Wu Zetian... So her ending was also extremely tragic: she was cut first and then nailed, and the corpse was displayed in public...

But did Zhao Guangyi die in the hands of his beloved concubine? He would be so angry and despised, vent his anger with his dead son and dismissed the government officials of Kaifeng Prefecture? At most, it was just that the private officials in Prince Xu's mansion were wrong. What happened to the people outside the door of the mansion?

Everything has to be found from Wang Ji'en. Everything is calm before he can take action. After he handled the case, Zhao Guangyi turned his face. He must have found something...

"The Last Chronicle of the Zizhi Tongjian Changbian" records: Zhao Guangyi wanted to arrest all the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture and interrogate them strictly, and he was determined to make the matter come to light. At this time, when the man called Wei Yu said something cautiously to the emperor, it was considered to be a cover-up. "Your Majesty, when Emperor Wu of Han raised an army to rebel, Emperor Wu of Han just whipped a few whips to his accomplices. Now King Xu's crimes are not more than Prince Li, and he should be more relaxed to his subordinates." According to this statement, Zhao Yuanxi's crimes have been committed to a considerable scale. Prince Li raised an army back then, and was lighter than Prince Li, that is, he had not raised an army, but he had conspired?

Zhao Guangyi remembered that in September last year, five ministers led by Song Han wrote a letter to make Zhao Yuanxi the crown prince. Zhao Guangyi's reaction was furious and criticized four words in the letter "the meaning of the word is crazy" to severely punish these five ministers. But before the matter was over, Zhao Guangyi immediately exaggerated and called Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng. He sneered at the confidant he promoted. You don't have more words than others, a total of 8 words "Citizens the Secret, stealing the Lu and stealing the Announcement". In this way, Lu Mengzheng was dismissed from the prefect "Citizens the Secret" and said that he did nothing and had a white-collar salary. But what is the solution? His boss is Zhao Pu. Such an old senior can disrespect "Citizens the Secret". Song Han is a relative of his wife, and he recommended it. Even fools can see that Song Han asked to establish the Crown Prince because he was instructed.

No matter who it is, don’t think of threatening my throne! History has proved that this is the true voice of the big bitch in his life. Three years later, he will roar like this again!
