Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth wind

Looking at Zhao Zhi's life, he was just born and was not yet full month old, and was involved in a palace coup. Although he was lucky enough to die, he also fell into the people from then on, and suffered all the hardships and difficulties. It was not until he was sixteen that he was able to return to Fengjing and return to his ancestors. Zhao Zhi's life underwent earth-shaking changes.

From being a poor man suddenly became rich and noble, Zhao Zhi was happy? Not happy at all. Pingzong did not like his son, many brothers and sisters, nor did he like this brother who came from the people, had no knowledge and was vulgar. Although he was a poor man, he could get the care and warmth of many people. Now that he has wealth, he only got indifference and emptiness.

Many people say that Zhao Zhi's success was climbing up by stepping on the bodies of many brothers, but who knew that Zhao Zhi, who had just arrived in the capital for a few years, was still very simple at that time, and there was justice and kindness in his heart. Because of a small matter, Zhao Zhi stepped forward and saved a commoner who seemed extremely low to many people and was a waste of food and air while living. Although this made the prince at that time unhappy, the two were brothers and would not make a grudge for such a small matter, but what was the development of the matter?

Under the promotion of those who are interested, this was such a small thing that finally reached Pingzong's ears. For this reason, Zhao Zhi was praised and promoted, and the prince was scolded and notorious. The provocation of the people behind it eventually aroused the prince's anger. In the subsequent series of events, Zhao Zhi was implicated in many things. His close master was killed, and more than a dozen friends who were close to him were killed. The prince even threatened Zhao Zhi several times. If he had to take over the throne, he would make his life worse than death.

In this situation, what can Zhao Zhi do? If he doesn’t resist, would he be killed if he stretched his neck?

Perhaps even Zhao Zhi did not expect that he would succeed in the end and be able to bear the throne of emperors in a series of struggles. Zhao Zhi's heart has become cold and even cold-blooded. At this time, the empire was inseparable from internal and external difficulties and was on the verge of destruction of the country. The early folk experiences of the people had a huge impact on Zhao Zhi. I was poor since I was a child and had eaten bran and drank thin. That was a common thing. When I encountered disaster years, I had eaten bark and weeds. What was such a little difficulty?

Zhao Zhi was walking on thin ice and worked hard to manage it. After fifteen years, he finally pulled up the huge monster that was about to fall again in the Jin Dynasty. If there was no such outbreak of the White Turban Rebellion, Zhao Zhi's life could undoubtedly be considered a success.

Since Zhao Zhi ascended the throne, he mainly did three things, rectifying the administration of officials, expanding the imperial guards, and enriching taxes. With the help of a group of outstanding civil officials such as Yang Daosi and Liu Jie, Zhao Zhi achieved great success. Although there were party disputes in the court, the degree and strength of this struggle were in the hands of Zhao Zhi. The imperial guards reached 100,000, all of them were elite soldiers and the national treasury was full. At this moment, Zhao Zhi had greater ambitions and wishes.

However, with the outbreak of the White Turban Army Rebellion, Zhao Zhi's plan was disrupted, because in Zhao Zhi's idea, he must first settle the country with foreign aggression. His initial plan was that he did not expect the Longyou area at all. However, some things often formed a chain reaction. Due to the White Turban Army Rebellion, the power of the vassal states in the Jiangnan region began to become stronger, and the Jiangnan region was the most important tax place for the empire, and there must be no losses. Therefore, Zhao Zhi had to gather a large army, with Huang as the main general, and launched the Jiangnan battle.

Although the Battle of Jiangnan was won, the taxes were reduced, and the treasury was reduced by half.

Afterwards, the Tubo country knew that there was a war within the Jin Dynasty, so it was determined to advance to Longyou. Finally, the first battle in Longyou broke out. Zhao Zhi had to deal with the battle and gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to set off the Longyou battlefield again. This unprecedented war finally ended with the victory of the Jin Dynasty. For this reason, Zhao Zhi ushered in the peak of the emperor of life, expanded the territory, and recovered lost territory, and was convinced by everyone in the world.

Without the First Longyou War, there would naturally be no Second Longyou War.

After several wars, Zhao Zhi had more and more troops in his hands, but the empire's taxes were obviously overwhelmed, and the money from the treasury was only paid but not in, and there was no one left at all.

This is a vicious cycle. The victory of the war may have brought great reputation and reputation to Zhao Zhi and the Jin Dynasty, but in fact, the national strength of the Jin Dynasty began to decline.

After the Second Longyou War, Zhao Zhi rewarded Li Xun heavily and handed over all the military and political powers in the seven western Longyou prefectures to him. This was to lay a solid foundation for Zhao Xun's future ascension to the throne. Because in Zhao Zhi's era, if he had not received the strong help from Liu Jie and the elite troops of Longyou, even if he ascended the throne, he would not be able to sit steadily. Therefore, Zhao Zhi understood one truth: without military power as support, even if he sat on the throne, he could be forced to be pulled down by others.

It has been half a year since Li Xun left Fengjing. Before that, with Yang Daosi's death, the political situation in the court has begun to become less stable. However, with Zhao Zhi pressing on it and Li Zhong, the world-famous military god, is in charge, so the overall situation in the world is still in chaos.

Just talk about Yang Binglin, after he inherited the throne of the Yang clan, although he provoked a series of court struggles and seemed tough, he only showed his means within a certain range and obtained benefits for himself as much as possible. He did not dare to force Zhao Zhi to do it. After several wars, the national strength of the Jin Dynasty may be declining, but for the emperor Zhao Zhi, his personal prestige and reputation have obviously reached its peak, and he has suppressed the world and convinced everyone.

Therefore, all opposition forces in the court dare to hide in the darkness. As long as Zhao Zhi doesn't move, they won't move lightly.

However, Zhao Zhi has not been long since he has been doing it. He has to plan for the future of the Jin Dynasty and for the future of the Crown Prince Zhao Xun, so even if others don’t move, he can’t move.

One month after Li Xun left Fengjing, Zhao Zhi re-established the position of Sili's lieutenant, with two thousand soldiers and seventh rank. He had a small number of people and a low official position, but his power was extremely great. He could take people out of the news and take charge of false crimes. He could be executed first and then report to the Dali Temple without going through the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, and only responsible to Zhao Zhi.

The rise of the Sili lieutenant stirred up the changes in the entire court for a while.

The Yang clan was first hit by a storm and rain. He took the lead in raising dead soldiers. The Yang clan was punished for more than 20 more people. Although Yang Binglin was not removed from office, he was also summoned home to reflect on himself.

There is also the Wing King Zhao He, whose power group has also suffered a heavy blow.

There are also King Zhao Shuo of Chu, etc....

So people understand that Zhao Zhi was restored to the position of the Sili School Captain to crack down on and persecute all political forces that threaten the prince Zhao Xun.
