Return to the Song Dynasty

Empress Dowager Liang

Xixia was completely defeated, so they could only bow their heads to Song for peace, and Liao mediated from it.As the chief culprit in this battle, the Empress Dowager Liang can be described as the public enemy of the Song people. She also cursed at the Liao envoys, completely offending the Liao people.Li Qianshun, the emperor of Xixia, had no choice but to announce the sudden death of the Empress Dowager Liang to appease the anger of Song and Liao.

It was late at night, and a round of bright moon was shining in front of the window, and people had already slept peacefully and fell asleep.In the depths of the Xixia Palace, there is a mother and son who cannot sleep.

Empress Dowager Liang painted exquisite makeup, wore a gorgeous golden satin dress, and wore a golden phoenix spreading its wings on her head. Even in such a predicament, she must meticulously maintain her extremely luxurious image.She frowned slightly and asked, "Are you here to kill me? To kill your mother?!"

Having said that, she has been the empress dowager for many years, and as the actual ruler of Xixia, she knows better than anyone else that her death is the best ending for Xixia.As an emperor, Li Qianshun must have had enough of being dominated by her for many years.As a son, he hardly ever received any warmth and love from himself.Now, where is the love between mother and child?

She is angry, she hates, but she also understands that everything is just her own fault.If you want to hate, you can only hate yourself for being incompetent and causing failure.She had no doubts that her son was going to kill her.

Li Qianshun looked intently at the Empress Dowager Liang, at this stern mother.During this period of time, my mother seemed to have aged a lot, and the thick powder could not cover the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and the luxurious gold crown could not cover the strands of white hair on her temples.

He sighed, stepped forward slowly, and slowly handed the package that he had been carrying in his hand to the Empress Dowager Liang, looked into her eyes, and said, "Mother, you go, get out of here. There are preparations in it." good possessions and food."

Empress Dowager Liang never expected that Li Qianshun would let her go!The Tian family has no father and son, and the royal family has no family ties.She has seen all of these clearly and can accept them.Now, the son is willing to take a huge risk to let himself die.This incident completely broke Queen Mother Liang's cognition, and instantly disintegrated her defenses.The boulder that had weighed on her heart for the past few days collapsed, and Empress Dowager Liang collapsed holding her son's arm and cried, "Where can I go? Where else can I go?..."

Li Qianshun patted the back of his mother's hand gently, just like his mother patted him gently to lull him to sleep when he was a child, full of deep warmth.After a long silence, he slowly said: "Go to your hometown, I know you miss it all the time."

More than a month later, in Liang's hometown, a woman named Liang Yiyi suddenly appeared.The Liang clan was not implicated by the Queen Mother Liang. They worked hard to support themselves and lived a peaceful and peaceful life.She didn't contact the people here, but found a vacant hut to live in secretly.Watching secretly every day, watching greedily, watching these tribesmen live at sunrise and sunset, and live an ordinary life.

This used to be her hometown, and she used to live such a peaceful and peaceful life.She secretly walked in the fields in the early morning before everyone got up, breathing the fresh and sweet air to her heart's content.She secretly came to the familiar houses at night when everyone was asleep, and stopped to miss them.

A few days later, with a contented smile, Liang Yiyi calmly took out the drugs she bought from the town, swallowed them, and fell down on the land where she was born and raised. 'I'm Ye Luo returning to her roots, as long as she can be buried here, anywhere is fine. '

When the Liang clan found Liang Yiyi, they were terrified. Nothing like this had ever happened here.Everyone found the clan elders and prepared to report to the officials.When everyone hurriedly lifted the body, they saw the note on her body, which read: "I am a daughter of the Liang family. I have been married to other places for many years. This year, the flowers are gone, and the leaves fall back to their roots. I look forward to the land given by the elders in my hometown. Burial. The money and things you have can be used as much as possible, and it will be regarded as a reward."

The clan elder read the letter, looked at her face carefully, sighed helplessly, and ordered the clan to bury her in Liang's cemetery.

The clan members were puzzled and commented one after another, "It seems that there is no such person in our clan. I have read the genealogy." It's Liang's daughter, let's bury her."

Many years later, Li Qianshun found this place. He took a branch of pear blossom, which was his mother's favorite, and placed it gently in front of the tombstone.I saw that the tombstone said "the tomb of Liang's daughter Yiyi". "Yiyi, so the mother's name is Yiyi?" Li Qianshun slowly stroked the words on the tombstone with his hands, tears streaming down his cheeks.

The clan elder in black hid behind the cemetery and kept looking at this handsome young man. His cloudy eyes looked at the woman named Liang Yiyi through the pitch-black tombstone.After a long time, he sighed regretfully, shook his head and left.If I knew today, why bother.

Taoist Priest Xuanjing and Wang Chongyang

Xuanjing Taoist priests are born with eyes that can see through the essence of things, and can see the noumenon and past lives of all things.Why is this?In fact, it all stems from a small mistake.

The mysterious mirror was originally the Xuanguang mirror of the Taishang Laojun.When Taibai Jinxing was demoted to the mortal world, he insisted on borrowing from Taishang Laojun for help, but Taibai was accidentally lost during the process of descending to the mortal world, causing Xuanguang Mirror to fall into the cycle of six realms and become a human.So let's say, it's not so much Xuan Jing's talent to see the essence of people, it's better to say it's his instinct.

Zhao Bi ascended the throne, Vientiane was renewed, and the four phenomena returned to their thrones.Taibai Jinxing was finally done, and went back to the heaven in a neat and easy manner.Taishang Laojun's Xuanguang mirror has not returned yet, so he can't kill this living person with his hands.Then we have to wait for Taoist Priest Xuanjing to pass this life, and then take it back.

As a result, he waited and waited, and Taoist Xuanjing lived a very long life, and he lived for more than 100 years without dying.

Taishang Laojun (→_→): "..."

Taibai Jinxing (⊙_⊙;): "...how about I have a mirror here and you can use it first?"

One day, Taoist Xuanjing took his young apprentice Wang Chongyang out for a walk.Wang Chongyang, formerly known as Wang Jie, Taoist name Chongyang.As for why the Dao name is Chongyang... The little apprentice expressed that he was unwilling to mention it (Xuan Jing: The apprentices picked up on Chongyang Day are called Chongyang. Wang Chongyang:... Master, don’t you think it’s too casual?).

Although the little apprentice is quite dissatisfied with the Dao name given by the master, living with the master is indeed new and interesting.Especially the pair of wise eyes of the master, it simply opened the door to a new world for him.

After seeing how powerful the master is, the little apprentice tilted his head and asked, "Master, can you see what reincarnation everyone is?"

Xuanjing Taoist shook his whisk triumphantly: "That's it, what?"

The little apprentice rubbed his little hands and asked curiously, "Then can you find me a panda?"

Taoist Xuanjing stroked his beard, looked up, pointed the direction slightly with his dust whisk, and said: "Pandas are easy to find, there are many of them (I guess pandas in Song Dynasty were not rare animals, they should be everywhere in the mountains and plains), Look there, the one eating at the table in the corner is that."

The little apprentice Wang Chongyang took a closer look, and saw a "fat and strong" local rich man sitting there.With a round head, a round belly, and thick arms and legs, he is eating the whole table of food without raising his head and eyes.There are also two servants standing beside the tea and serving dishes, which is really enjoyable.

The little apprentice was speechless: "Are all cats and bears like this?"

Taoist Xuanjing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's about the same, nine out of ten. This game is good for life. You can sleep when you are full. If you are fat, you will not get sick. There are people to take care of you."

The little apprentice had a flash of inspiration: "...Are you sure that those who get sick because of being fat are all because they were not reincarnated from obese animals?"

Taoist Xuanjing took a mouthful of vegetables and chewed carefully: "Don't say it, your analysis is quite right. I have seen a monkey who died of illness because of being too fat."

The little apprentice thought for a while, and immediately opened his mouth: "Could it be that Young Master Sun a few days ago?"

Taoist Xuanjing swallowed the food slowly: "Well, it's him."

The little apprentice swallowed silently: "Well, master, you old man should also look at me, apprentice. What am I? How much should I eat for each meal?"

……

The Story of Yue Fei, a Famous General Against Gold

One day after Zhao Bi ascended the throne, he suddenly remembered Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general, who seemed to be from the late Northern Song Dynasty or early Southern Song Dynasty, and he didn't know if he could meet him.If you can really meet this person, you must cultivate and reuse him, and you must not let him be wronged again.

'Ah~ It's all my fault for my bad history, and I don't know where Yue Fei is from, and I don't know where to find people if I want to find him.Forget it, Yue Fei doesn't know which corner to gnaw his finger on now. 'Zhao Bi was thinking secretly to himself.Suddenly Yue He sent someone to report that his family had given birth early to a boy named Yue Fei. In two days, he would invite Zhao Bi to attend the three washing banquets.

Zhao Bi (⊙o⊙): '...The heavens are teasing me!Yue Fei, do you know?I'm ready to attend your three feasts.Visit nude little baby Yue Fei? ! !Are you really the famous anti-gold general Yue Fei who can write Jianghong all over the place? !Why do I feel like I heard the sound of my world view collapsing...'

Baby Yue Fei who was gnawing his fingers in a corner: "Huh?"What are you talking about?Feifei, I don't understand. '

After a long, long time, Zhao Bi became a handsome old man.Yue Fei's second daughter, Yue Jingjing, admired her aunt's demeanor since she was a child, studied hard since she was a child, and became a remarkable female general.But she always wears a Yaksha mask every time she fights, and no one has seen her true face.It was rumored that she was so ugly that she had to wear a mask to hide her ugliness.

Looking at the beautiful little lady who was pulling the little prince of the Kingdom of Jin to ask for a marriage, Zhao Yu really felt a turmoil in his heart. 'This is the legendary Yasha general—Miss Yinping! '

"Uncle, do you agree or not?" Yue Jingjing acted unceremoniously to her official uncle.Although Yue Fei's family had been at the border for a long time, she knew this official uncle quite well. Everyone knew that he was kind-hearted and soft-hearted.

The little prince of the Kingdom of Jin also looked confused, 'What's going on here?How come my kind and straightforward little lady Jingjing became General Song?Why is she still the niece of Emperor Song?where am iGreat Song Palace?why am i here ...' The poor little prince of the Kingdom of Jin was thinking about it, but he couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, he doesn't need to figure it out anymore, let's talk about it after getting married...

good guys and bad guys in history

Zhao Bi accidentally found a Jinshi, calligraphy is very good, people can come to trouble, successfully attracted Zhao Bi's attention, and then heard that this person's name is Cai Jing, he was immediately horrified.

Isn't this one of the members of the prodigal trio that brought down the Northern Song Dynasty?Zhao Bi is very reluctant to admit that his cute younger brother Zhao Ji is also a member of the team, and even the team leader!In the heart of protecting the weak, Zhao Bi desperately believed that it was Cai Jing and Tong Guan who brought his younger brother down.Resolutely put an end to their meeting.He also tried every means to find out where Tong Guan was, and the chief executive who asked was confused: "There is no one named Tong Guan in our palace."

As everyone knows, there was a boy named Tong Guan in the early years, but this kid committed a crime and was dealt with to an unknown corner.It was supposed to be a powerful eunuch during Huizong's reign, but he was beaten to death on the beach by the waves of history in obscurity.

Tong Guan: I am wronged!

The fate of people is really strange.My brother-in-law Yue Fei started to follow Zhao Gou every day since he was able to run, jump and climb trees.I don't know how they met.Zhao Bi sighed silently, but he had to be optimistic about them, and he must not let that kid Zhao Gou bully his innocent Xiao Feifei.

Seeing Yue Fei foolishly running around with Zhao Gou all day long, Zhao Bi couldn't bear it any longer, and repeatedly found excuses to stop him, but it didn't matter, the two of them were still able to wear a pair of underpants.Zhao Yu was completely speechless.Zhao Ji also saw that his older brother didn't like Yue Fei playing with his second child, but Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, 'Why?Isn't it just a kid playing and making trouble.Why is Brother Jiu so serious? ’ Zhao Bi couldn’t tell: ‘…you don’t understand, you don’t even understand!Yue Fei, little bastard, I am so worried about you. '

Song Mingzong's lofty ideals

In fact, Zhao Bi has always had a deep-rooted thought of Greater China in his heart. Xixia, Liao, Jin, Tubo, and Dali can all be our territory.If you want a stable border and no war, you can't just cede land and seek peace. In fact, there is a simpler and more reliable way to do it once and for all, and that is to directly occupy it! !

It's all become the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and you're still playing a fart!Simple and rude!Fast and effective!The premise is that there must be money, food, soldiers, and generals. Basically, Zhao Bi has all of these. If there is no creation, there must be conditions.For the time being, you can adopt a strategy of long distance and close attack.Of course, Zhao Bi had other ghost ideas.

At that time, neither food nor books could be sold abroad.Zhao Bi ordered that books could be sold, but only books designated by the government could be sold.For this reason, the government specially released a book list, which contains some Confucianism and Taoist Neo-Confucianism, as well as some gorgeous poems and songs.Of course, there is no such thing as medicine, geography, and manufacturing that involve scientific progress.Cultural invasion, first assimilate you ideologically!Hehehe...

Although this move was opposed by almost everyone, after a few years, the effect was obvious, and the atmosphere of admiring Han culture in surrounding countries was spreading rapidly.The benefits are also very obvious. Sometimes when the land of other countries is occupied, the local people will not only not resist, but will happily support it and voluntarily accept the rule of the Han people? ! !Is it amazing? ! !

So far, everyone has a new understanding of the foresight of their own officials.But, this official also has a very troublesome bad problem.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty generally did not leave the palace. Only Zhao Bi opened up a precedent for the emperor not to stay at home.Since the disappearance of King Shen, he has been committed to going out among the people (often going out for inspections), or taking personal conquests by the imperial driver (this is not much, occasionally).At that time, Zhuozhou was the territory of the Liao State, and there was a trade market established by the Liao State. Merchants from the two countries could trade freely, and it was very prosperous.

Zhao Bi was very moved. He happily went to the border to inspect, and even pretended to be a merchant to go to Zhuozhou.The ministers couldn't resist him, so they had to follow him to protect him.Entering Zhuozhou, that is, entering the territory of the Liao Kingdom, everyone was a little nervous at first, but seeing the officials as if they were standing on their own territory, it was so relaxing. (Zhao Bi: Originally it was mine, it was all mine!)

Zhao Yu leisurely stood on the Tucheng of Zhuozhou and looked at the Beijing city not far away. He did not forget to talk to the people of the Liao Kingdom: "That is the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing (now Beijing), right? It's so majestic!" Liao Kingdom The people were quite happy to hear his praise, so they gave Zhao Bi an extra piece of milk cake.

Zhao Yu was also very happy, and said casually: "It would be nice if we could go and have a look sometime." But everyone who accompanied him was very scared.Zhao Bi did what he said. Ten years later, the Liao Kingdom surrendered and was assigned to the Song Dynasty, which became the two roads under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Bi has done a lot of unexpected things in his life. In the words of ministers, that is, "You never know what the officials are thinking. Don't guess, you can't guess." Zhao Bi can be said to be The most troublesome official family in history.The common people like to hear it, and the legendary stories of officials are told everywhere in the streets and alleys, taverns and teahouses.

The predecessor of the imperial palace in the Song Dynasty was Tang Xuanwu's Jiedu Shiya. It was expanded a bit during the Qing Dynasty, but the place was still cramped, and it was indeed a bit small.Whenever the previous officials wanted to expand the palace, the surrounding people always disagreed.In the end, they all ended in failure.

Arriving at Zhao Bi's place, after many years of recuperating and recuperating, using war to support war, the country is rich and the army is strong, the palace is becoming more and more petty.However, what was unexpected was that the official Zhao Yu never mentioned the expansion, and some ministers took the initiative to mention it, but it is not known whether it is possible.

The courtiers were wondering, 'No way!This is not our official style! 'Until one day...the capital was moved directly.A few years after successfully annexing the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Bi moved the capital to Xijin Prefecture by the way, and renamed it Beijing.Beijing is good, the terrain is good, the feng shui is good, and it is convenient to expand to the north~(￣▽￣)~*

Zhao Ji, Zhou Junjie: Hey hey hey, get rich!Get rich!Thanks to my brother (official family) who notified us in advance to go to Beijing to buy shops and real estate.Brother (Guan Jia) is so kind!

Zhao Yu, who has hidden merit and fame: Well, it's good to know, and don't forget to give me a dividend later.

abdication

Song Mingzong Zhao Yu reigned for 30 years. He took over the throne at the age of 20 and retired at the age of 50. He was the prince of Zen (I wanted to abdicate when I was [-], but I was opposed by everyone and was forcibly suppressed).It set a precedent for the emperor of the Song Dynasty to retire at the right time.Officials also started to retire one after another, enjoying the leisurely retirement time with the emperor.

"The emperor is old, and when he gets old, he will bring an atmosphere of aging and decadence to the whole country. Only when young people are constantly in power, young people are motivated, have ideals, dare to think and fight, the country will have vitality, and the nation will have vitality. hope!"

——"Song Mingzong Benji Volume Twenty Benji No.20"

Zhao Bi's descendants followed suit one after another, and in the end they directly started a constitutional monarchy.Historians call it a miraculous royal family that does not love power.It was this kind of royal family that led China out of the shackles of the feudal system and entered the modern society first in the world, laying the foundation for China's extreme prosperity.

Zhao Bi abdicated, originally he didn't intend to be the emperor.His real idea is to leave the palace completely and go to Chang'an or Bianliang to live in seclusion.There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country.He didn't want to be like Li Yuan or Qianlong, hindering his son from being in power, that would be bad.

He thought he had a good idea.However……

Prince Zhao Youyi was angry: "You don't want to be the Supreme Emperor, what do you want to do? You want to abandon us again, don't you?! You go and try?!"

Zhao Wang Zhao Youmu stood aside quietly, without saying a word, turned his head and stared at Zhao Bi.There were tears in his eyes, his eyes were forbearing and pitiful.

Zhao Yu hesitated for a second, and gave in like a dog.

The two victorious brothers looked at each other and said, "Well done." '' Each other each other. '

Queen Yue nunuzui ╮(╯﹏╰)╭: 'I knew he couldn't handle it.How many times have I told him that his idea will definitely not pass, because he just doesn't believe it.You have to be yelled at by the prince to feel comfortable. '

So Song Mingzong Zhao Bi took another glorious step forward and became the first emperor in the history of the Song Dynasty.A bit taller than the emperor.

Zhao Bi: ... I really don't have this ideal.

Song Wuzong Zhao Youyi's daily life

When it comes to Song Wuzong Zhao Youyi, everyone agrees that this emperor deserves his name and is very worthy of his temple name.Ever since his father moved the capital to Beijing and made a fuss about abdicating the throne.Zhao Youyi shouldered the heavy responsibility of continuing to fight.

His father destroyed Xixia and regained Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.He continued to conquer Jin, Goryeo, Uighur, Tubo, Dali, etc., and fully used the money his father had saved.He fought north and south throughout his life, laying a strong foundation for China.Although his younger brother, King Zhao, is unsmiling, he has fully inherited his father's talent for making money, and keeps filling the treasury for his elder brother to ensure the stability of the rear.

The territory of the Song Dynasty continued to expand, but most of it was bounded by natural dangers, so it did not expand.why?Quotations from the Taishanghuang may be able to clear up your doubts: If you are too greedy, you will not be able to chew it off, and no matter how big it is, it will be difficult to manage.

Ever since Zhao Youyi ascended the throne, the ministers found that they had a new trouble: the crown prince and King Zhao were twins!And they look almost identical.As long as the prince doesn't smile, there is no way to tell the difference.It was okay to be the prince in the past, but now that the prince has become an official, this trouble can be big.

The worst thing is that the new officials seem to have discovered this too, and enjoy it, pretending to be King Zhao when they have nothing to do.Putting on clothes of a similar style to his younger brother's, no matter how expressionless and silent he was, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang was alive and well.Even my own father didn't recognize him, it just felt a little weird.

The official family who successfully pretended to be His Highness Zhao Wang went to the banquets and parties of the ministers, played football and enjoyed flowers and other cultural and sports activities when he had nothing to do.Because he had heard enough gossip and was too excited, he was finally seen through by everyone because his smile was too bright.From then on, ministers never dared to invite King Zhao to parties.Who doesn't have a secret, what if the officials accidentally listen to the corner? !

Official Zhao Youyi (>﹏<): You don't even want to give me this bit of fun!unacceptable!

The innocent King Zhao was very upset O(一︿一+)o: I didn’t have many friends at first, but now it’s over, no one dares to talk to me anymore!

Although Song Wuzong Zhao Youyi's bad taste is not worthy of appreciation, his achievements are obvious to all.He devoted his whole life to expanding the territory. Relying on the strong financial resources accumulated by his father Song Mingzong, as well as advanced weapons that crushed the level of other countries at that time, he had a large number of soldiers, numerous famous generals, outstanding civil servants, and a combination of civil and military. , and finally completed the unification of Greater China, so the temple name Wuzong.

Song Wuzong and his father Mingzong, grandfather Shenzong, and great-grandfather Yingzong are collectively known as the "Wise and Martial" Four ZTE Emperors of the Song Dynasty.Later historians joked that his great-grandfather, Yingzong, was honored to be on the list without doing anything, purely because he was honored by future generations.But who will let the descendants of the family live up to it.

Song Yingzong <(￣︶￣)>: Hehe, I am so powerful!

Song Shenzong <(￣︶￣)>: Hehe, I just have a good son and grandson!

Song Zhezong ╮(╯﹏╰)╭: Alas~ It seems that there is nothing wrong with me at all.After all, she is the little Jiu'er chosen by me, so why can't you make a contribution to me in the book.

The end of the whole play O(∩_∩)O
