……

This document contains many sacred decrees related to military and military merits, which were issued in the middle of the second year of Baoqing, but the time when the emperor and a group of bigwigs in the political affairs hall were arguing was far earlier than the second year of Baoqing. Still under the premise that several prime ministers in the political affairs hall were promoted by the edict of the emperor, this edict was called "Bingxu Zhizhao" by later generations, also known as "Baoqing Zhongzhao", and was considered to be the origin of "Duanping New Deal" .

Year names generally change with major events at home and abroad. As long as the emperor wants to change, he can change several year names in a year. It's not that short, it's usually changed every few years.

Since the beginning of his succession, the time for three years of filial piety to the first emperor has come. The ministers who have always been concerned about the continuation of the royal heirs of the Song Dynasty can't wait to let the official harem enter, although the literati and bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty are more willing. Letting daughters be with Xinke Scholars is to enhance the strength of the family. Marriages with imperial families are generally the exclusive property of generals' families, but if there is confidence, some already weakened families don't mind letting their daughters enter the official harem.

Although it is a brief reference, as far as Zhao Yun, who has already learned about Lizong's life, soon, the famous anti-gold general Jia She—although they are all named Jia She, but this future daughter will be Concubine Jia and his son will be Concubine Jia. The minister of power and prime minister is not in the same style as the character of the same name in a certain famous book - his daughter will enter the palace as one of the candidates for the queen, but since everyone knows that this beloved and beautiful Jia In the end, she was only named a noble concubine, so she knew that she was not the one who became the queen in the end.

Lizong's empress was surnamed Xie, and her grandfather was once the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. However, Shi Miyuan had been alone for so many years, and her grandfather did not retire at the end of his career, and his family fortune naturally declined.

Even so, when Empress Li Zongxie first entered the palace as an ordinary concubine candidate, she was blocked and despised by her uncle, and other members of the family sent her to the palace together.

For his queen, Zhao Yun has nothing to pay attention to. As for the issue of offspring, his small goal is to catch up with King Wen of Zhou—the one who is rumored to have hundreds of sons of King Wen—and give birth to a hundred children. The daughter doesn't care.

So when he saw the peerless Jia family, he didn't feel it. He saw that he was born in the prime minister's family, which was considered good among the queens of the Song Dynasty-yes, the queens of the Song Dynasty had that kind of empress because they were too beautiful. I can't live in poverty, so I can only divorce and remarry with my ex-husband, and I consider my ex-husband as my elder brother to support him. It can be said that it is quite high——when the Xie Shi, he still didn't feel it.

Well, it might be better to say that in this era, he has no special feeling for personal desires, but is more interested in governing the country.

Therefore, under such circumstances, in order to appease the civil officials, the granddaughter of the prime minister, Xie, should be designated as the queen, and the daughter of the general should not be neglected, and it is inevitable to bestow a high position in the harem like Lizong in history.

Regarding the identification of the harem, Zhao Yun has been entangled for a long time and has not changed it, and it has been a long time since he selected the year name.

The three-year filial piety is coming soon, and Zhao Yun, who doesn't like the reign name of Baoqing very much, naturally wants to change the reign name originally chosen for him by Shi Miyuan. He doesn't want to use a reign name like Shaoding. ", "Xingwu" and other reign titles with the word "Wu" show his determination and courage, but looking at the entire Song Dynasty, there are not many reign titles with Wu in the open and aboveboard, and there are many more in the Song Dynasty. It is a combination of the reign titles of the predecessors—of course, the predecessors here are also limited to the scope of the Song Dynasty emperor. If Zhao Yun directly used the "Zhaowu" reign title, it might make him issue the "Bingxu Edict" Afterwards, the literati and doctors who were already nervous became even more nervous. Zhao Yun regretfully gave up the "Zhaowu" reign name that he loved and had decided to use in his heart, but it was only postponed for a while, and he chose "Duanping" instead. year number.

In the second half of the second year of Baoqing, when the news of Temujin's conquest of Xixia came, the Song Dynasty was experiencing turmoil due to the peace talks with Mongolia at the beginning of the year and the subsequent edict of Bingxu.

As an emperor who was not considered black-hearted, Zhao Yun still sent someone to extend a helping hand to Xixia in private.

The secret guards who are forced to become arms dealers: The officials, regard Xixia as the firearms research and development test base of the Song Dynasty, collect the battle situation and data, and secretly smuggle horses and other materials back from there. Do you want to say that? High-sounding!

Zhao Yun, who has no guilt: make the best use of everything, in fact, that's what's going on!

Although the use of firearms has the danger of making Mongolia wary of new firearms, let’s not say that Da Song’s firearms are still in the process of research and development, and because of the existence of Zhao Yun, the technology is improving with each passing day, let’s just talk about Zhao Yun The plague created artificially by sending people is enough to make the Mongolians suffer a lot.

Before Genghis Khan died, Xixia suffered heavy casualties, not to mention that Temujin died in this place.

As the designated heir, Wo Kuotai naturally needs to avenge his father to convince the public, while Tuo Lei, as the youngest son with many supporters and finally inherited most of his father's power, of course also needs a brilliant military exploit to prove himself.

But no matter what, the unlucky people will be Xixia people.

In the end, there were only a few cities that Xixia stubbornly resisted, and the rest had been captured by the enemy.

Zhao Yun looked at the remaining territory of Xixia on the map, where the Zhongxing Mansion was located. The remaining Xixia cities that had not been wiped out by the Mongolian army were only a few cities. Later, this place was changed to Ningxia Road. How about knowing the undead in his hands.

In history, the Zhongxing Mansion was one of the last places Xixia persisted in. In this life, because Temujin died a year earlier, the Mongolian army has not yet attacked this place, but they may not be able to attack it either.

A terrible plague broke out on the battlefield between Mongolia and Xixia, and through the frequent attacks of Xixia, Mongolia, and Jin, it spread to the interior of these countries, and even the Western Regions.

Zhao Yun, who thinks that the people of Great China are still very hygienic, and that although Mongolians and Xixia people may be recruited, the Han people in Jin Kingdom should be spared: Wait a minute, this script is different from what I thought!

Under normal circumstances, it is more hygienic to avoid polluted water sources and drink boiled water as much as possible, and people with conditions will do the same, but no one knows when the water source will be polluted.

And anyway, it's a kind of plague.

Just look at the time when the plague caused the greatest impact in history. Although it originated in the battlefield between Mongolia and the enemy country—and at the same time got the name of the Black Death—it also spread rapidly in European countries, which is enough to explain It spreads so fast that it is hard to guard against.

In the absence of prevention in advance, it is difficult to prevent this, and it is not impossible to spread to the Kingdom of Jin. I can only say this. I think that the Black Death has a great relationship with the living habits of foreigners. Zhao Yun miscalculated.

However, even the Jin people will actively take preventive measures when they know that it may be a plague, so Zhao Yun does not need to worry about the casualties there.

In addition to this point, he can be said to have achieved great success in creating the plague on the battlefields of Mongolia and Xixia. The number Zhao Yun knew as the emperor of the enemy country in the Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, in addition to those who insist on avenging Genghis Khan in the Mongolian army, there is another voice. They think that the sudden death of Xian Khan is already a warning to longevity. In addition to the current plague, It was the ancestors who stopped them from attacking Xixia.

However, the brothers and descendants of Genghis Khan harbored the ambition to turn all the places where the blue sky is into the pastures of the Mongols, and they did not want to let go of Xixia, the chief culprit who killed the first Khan, because of this inexplicable so-called Warning and retreat.

And this is exactly what Zhao Yun wants to see the most.
