Shenzong Collapse

There were also those who died peacefully. When the city was broken, the eunuch Li Shunju refused the horses he brought to his servant. He tore off his clothes and carefully wrote the words "My minister Shunju has no hatred for death, I hope Your Majesty will not be careless of this thief." This was his death report to the emperor. The eunuch never forgot his duties until his death. He advised the emperor not to underestimate the people of Xixia again!

There were only four officers who survived. They didn't go through the city gate, but jumped down from the city wall. They were Lu Zheng, Li Pu, Wang Zhan, and Qu Zhen. Qu Zhen was the second-ranking figure of the Fuyan Army and had long been on the blacklist of the Xixia people. That night he fled alone and was almost caught up, a miracle happened! He actually saw a strong white horse on the side of the road. The white horse carried him to Mizhi City, and then he named the white horse "Tian Cibai"

Finally, I want to talk about Xu Xi. His ending was as wonderful as before. Some people said that he died on the battlefield but could not find the body. Neither the Song people nor the Xixia people could find it. So was he not dead? But there was no news about this person since then. If he was still alive, he should be in pain and had no shame to see others again. If he died, his soul would not be at peace. He twisted the fate of an empire and caused the wronged souls of more than 100,000 compatriots with his own hands! More than 100,000 elite soldiers of the Fuyan army and more than 100,000 innocent Song Dynasty men died in Yongle City...

When the war report and Li Shunju's legacy were passed down to the capital, it was another late night. Emperor Shenzong was waiting in the depths of the dark palace. He never expected that what he had been waiting for was such news! More than 100,000 people died in one battle, which was something that had never happened since the founding of the Song Dynasty. He was created by his most ideal and aspiring person! How ironic and sorrowful! That night, Shenzong was in bed and was in a deep sleep all night. On the morning court on October 1, he talked to his ministers about the defeat in Yongle City, and suddenly he cried bitterly and couldn't help himself!

He really couldn't forgive himself. His extremely arrogant and sensitive heart quickly made him fall into a feeling of self-blame and self-harm and even self-abuse. This year he was 5 years old, which was the most beautiful and energetic period of a man, but his health quickly declined!

The more he thought about it, the narrower he became, the lower he became. The fatal thing was that he was still very smart. Without others criticizing him, he knew where he lost the two major battles? Improper employment of people!

Wang Zhong is a waste, Gao Zunyu is so selfish, and Xu Xi from Yongle City is even more of a joke that has been eternal. He should have lived before the Spring and Autumn Period, so it would be great to be an ancient person!

Looking back on when Wang Anshi was still there, Fuxihe River, Pingjingman, Conquer Jiaozhi, Invincible, Wang Shao, Zhang Dun, Kuromoto, Guo Kui... Everyone took on the big responsibilities and continued to do it. Compared with the two, what were the people he found? But it was too late to say anything now! The national strength was depleted, the army was withered, and his morale was depressed. If he had any contributions since he ascended the throne, the only thing left was the Xining reform.

But that industrial chain must be successful through foreign wars and regained land in order to create greater profits and repay the exploited domestic economy. Now that foreign wars have reached this point, the chain has collapsed, and the shortcomings of previous reforms will be revealed immediately... In this way, nothing will be successful in life, and there is no positive meaning!

Song Shenzong deeply felt despair. How should he go in the future? This is not the most desperate thing. Half a month after the defeat in Yongle City, a greater disaster came to the Han people!

On October 10, Song Shenzong was wandering around the palace and accidentally went to the library in the Secretariat. He saw a portrait inside. The person in the painting was elegant and smiling slightly. Although the paper traces were yellow and old, the man seemed to have a relationship with him, so he stared at him for a long time. Shenzong asked who he was?

"Go back to your Majesty, it is Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty." "It turns out that it is him, and he is worthy of being a romantic talent."

That night, Shenzong met this romantic talented man more than a hundred years ago in his dream. He hurt the king of the country. Li Yu bowed deeply to him and slowly approached... And on that night, the 11th son of Song Shenzong was born, and the child was named Zhao Ji. He is the future Song Huizong! This is a super excellent child. When he grew up, no one in the entire empire was more elegant and talented than him; when he was in power, no one of the emperors before the Song Dynasty could reach his height. In some achievements, even the founding lord Zhao Kuangyin could not reach, and the imperial dream he fulfilled was something that Taizong Zhao Guangyi never forgot and pursued throughout his life...

On the 7th, Shen Kuo and Qu Zhen were demoted. On the 18th, they were awarded the title of Xu Xi, Li Shunju, Li Ji, Gao Yongneng and other soldiers who died in Yongle City.

On January 14, Emperor Daozong of Liao deposed Empress Xiao Tasi as Concubine Hui and drove his sister back to his parents' home.

In the 6th year of Yuanfeng (108), the Xixia continued to send troops to recover the land lost in the battle of the five routes of attacking Xia. The primary goal was Lanzhou, which was seized by the Song army's eunuch Li Xian. On the 1st of the month, the Xixia army surrounded Lanzhou City. The magistrate Li Hao wanted to close the city and defend it. King Wenyu, the commander of Jin, took the battle of Hefei in which Zhang Liao of the Three Kingdoms defeated Sun Quan as an example, and insisted on going to fight. 700 dead soldiers descended from the city late at night to repel the Xixia army. On the 16th of the month, the Xixia army invaded Lanzhou again and was repelled again. On the 1st and 4th, Generals of Hedong Road Xue Yi and Gao Yongyi defeated the Xixia army at the Xiling Mountains of Jialu, and Zhenqing Liu tribe defeated the Xixia army.

On April 6, Zhong Yan died. He was depressed and had ulcers. He died at the age of 57. The death of a famous general in the generation was only exchanged for a 7-word comment, "If you don't die, you will never die." What is the law of nature?

In May, the Western Xia army besieged Lanzhou again. In the battle of 19, Song general Wei Ding died in battle. On the 9th, the Western Xia retreated and turned to attack the Shentang Village in Linzhou on the Linzhou Road, and was defeated by the prefect Zihu.

In order to get rid of the dissatisfaction with the dictatorship of the Liang family, Liang Yi buried, and the brothers and sisters of Daliang had to restore the throne of the Xia Huizong Li Bingchang who had been imprisoned for more than a year in June. However, in order to ensure that the Liang family continued to control the government, a major condition for the restoration was that Li Bingchang had to establish his cousin. Liang Yi buried his daughter as the queen, known in history as Xiao Liang... I believe that if I don't say it now, you should know that the tradition of the Xixia people will be staged again...

On June 1st, Li Bingchang, who had just recovered, hurriedly joined the Song Dynasty, pleaded guilty and surrendered, and asked to repay the lost territory. On the 4th, Emperor Shenzong of Song issued an order: Shaanxi, Hedong Road should not build a new village. The annual gifts for the Western Xia are the same. He just wanted to return to the lost territory of the five routes to defeat the Xia Dynasty? Tell you Li Bingchang: No way!

On the 4th, Emperor Daozong of Liao posthumously named Yelu Jun, the most heroic and powerful person in the history of the Great Liao Kingdom, as Prince Zhaohuai.

On the other day, Fu Bi, a famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty, passed away.

On October 0, Yelu Yixin, the treacherous minister of the Great Liao Dynasty who was imprisoned in Laizhou, was still very energetic. He knew that he could not stay in the Great Liao Kingdom. So the world was so big that he would escape. His target was the Song Dynasty. He was just alone and lonely, and he was not familiar with the road. He was caught back halfway. His life was ended by a ox tendon... Like Xiao Guanyin who was killed by him, and like those who were tortured by him in the prince's case, he was strangled to death. As of this, it was like the good days of the Great Liao Kingdom finally came.

Yelu Hongji, the Emperor of Liao Daozong, has returned to justice? He avenged his wife, son, and daughter-in-law? Sorry! No! It is very regrettable: Yelu Yixin's death is incompatible with the death of the above person! The first treacherous minister's crime was "selling prohibited goods in foreign countries" and was just a corrupt criminal. This left the root of disaster for the future massacre, great purge, and great revenge! That emperor grandson was the son of the first prince Yelu Jun, and later Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi. This child remembered everything clearly!

The first thing the king of the country who ascended the throne was to avenge his grandmother, father, and mother! He sent someone to dig up the graves of his enemies such as Yelu Yixin, Zhang Xiaojie, and others to kill corpses to relieve hatred and toast! None of the relatives of these people ran away and were killed completely! At that time, the Great Liao Kingdom was shrouded in a bloody storm, and everyone was in danger. No matter who, as long as they were put on a little edge with the case back then, they would lose their heads!

The Great Liao Kingdom really declined and began to collapse from the inside. At that time, a nation in the north suddenly emerged, with unprecedentedly powerful combat power erupting like a flood. The decayed and depressed Liao people were completely cleaned like a pile of rotten and deteriorated dregs... Why did such a result have been buried in the era of Yelu Hongji! It was not too late, but he woke up before the emperor was killed! Who is not good to save, and Yelu Yanxi must be saved? History has proved that this is Liao

Among all the nine emperors in the country, he had all the problems of the previous eight emperors, and they were all the more innocent in each of them, like him who was sent by God to corrupt the Liao Kingdom. Of course, there are also the contributions of his grandfather Yelu Hongji. Yelu Hongji was a rare long-lived emperor. He reigned for 46 years and lived to die until he was 70 years old... After such a long period of trouble, the genius grandson continued to make a fortune. In this way, it would be difficult for the Liao Kingdom to perish!

In January 7th year of Yuanfeng (1084), the people of Xixia were anxious and gathered all 800,000 troops in the country to recover Lanzhou. However, on the 1st, the 800,000 troops were once again defeated by Li Xian's Xihe Legion at the city of Lanzhou.

On the other hand, Su Shi, deputy envoy of Huangzhou Tuanjiao, was renamed the deputy envoy of Changzhou Tuanjiao. Speaking of which, after coming to Huangzhou, life showed another side to Su Shi. Before that, in his hometown Meishan, he was taken care of by his parents and famous all over the world after entering Beijing. He was surrounded by literary lords like Ouyang Xiu. When he opposed the reform, he opposed Wang Anshi. Behind him, he was supported by powerful officials such as Sima Guang. Even if he was demoted to Hangzhou, Mizhou and Huzhou, his official position became bigger and bigger, and he became a magistrate. But after the Wutai Poetry Case, he became a criminal who was executed outside the prison. Except for a salary, all political power was completely deprived. Because he offended the emperor, he could not talk about any future... Even how to fill his stomach became a problem! The work obtained by officials from the Northern Song Dynasty

The funds are not all hard currency such as copper coins, cloth, and grain. These are the treatments that only the top tycoons in the capital have. Most of the salaries of local officials are physical goods. If you want to turn them into money, you have to change them by yourself! For example, at this time, Su Shi, his salary was replaced by bags made by the public, and after receiving them every month, he had to sell them himself to go to the market to buy rice and noodles and live home... The dignified scholar Su became a small vendor? How could he be humiliated! But the bigger trouble is still there. This thin salary is soon not enough to support Su Shi's one wife, one concubine, four sons, four daughters-in-law and grandson, and several servants. He had so many mouths to make a living by those old wine bags, and he would soon starve to death!

In the dilemma, Su Shi made a choice that he would never make even death. His friend surnamed Ma applied for him to the state to a wasteland in the east of the city, about 50 acres, and Su Shi cultivated it himself! What is this? This is a farmer! Thinking back to the words he used to oppose the exemption law when he opposed the law of exemption! This is retribution and a favor from God. It allows Su Shi to truly experience the pain of the class he despised in the past!

Of course, he did not feel pain at this time. As long as he could live safely, it would be enough to satisfy him... From then on, he reclaimed wasteland and planted crops, satisfied and happier that he was a farmer. He named this slope east of the city "Dongpo" and renamed himself with these two words! From then on, he was called Su Dongpo. The great genius who had been ranked among the top five in the literary talent of the Chinese nation for thousands of years lay in the long wind and lush grass, lying on the infinitely broad and thick earth, completely breaking away from the shackles of fame and fortune, and his character was elevated to another new level...

In the third year of Huangzhou, Su Shi was inspired and wrote a few lines of words: "I came to Huangzhou, and I have passed the three cold foods. I want to cherish spring every year, but I can't cherish spring. This year, the rain is bitter again, and the autumn is bleak. I lie down and hear the crabapple flowers, mud and swallows are scattered on the snow. I secretly carry them away. It is really powerful in the middle of the night. Why are you sick young, and you have to have white blood when you get sick..." The little feeling written by this paper is ranked only in the third running script of the ages after Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty's "Document of Nephew". It also established Su Shi as the first running script master of the Song Dynasty!

On the other hand, this is also Su Shi's sorrow. He wanted to be quiet, but Superman's talent allowed him to continue to create until the world remembered him again. At this time, a news came from the capital - the most important task of the empire fell on his shoulders, and Emperor Shenzong wanted him to compile the history of the country!

National history is evidence to record the success or failure of an emperor in a certain dynasty. No matter at that time or later, whoever wants to study that period of history must first start with national history. Because of its importance, it must be handed over to the most reliable person to take care of. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Prime Minister of the dynasty had always worked part-time. But this time, Shenzong actually used Su Shi, a person who corrupted the reputation of the court, and was responsible for the person who smeared the new policy!

This naturally made a person angry. Wang Gui jumped out. He was too shameless. Even if he had no talent and no personality, he could not humiliate him like this. After all, he was the prime minister at this time! Wang Gui is not simple, and he was seriously underestimated in history. Everyone remembers that he was the prime minister of the three imperial edicts. "He went to court to obtain imperial edicts, received imperial edicts in court, and received imperial edicts in court." It was a joke that turned the prime minister into a secretary. This was not right! He was the one who opened the Pandora's box of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. From the beginning to the most critical steps, he released the unprecedented monster!

How could such a person have no temper or personality? This time, in order to stop Su Shi, he sinisterly reviewed the old calendar, which was still Su Shi's poem about hiding dragons. He characterized Su Shi as a rebel. Just ask only the emperor in the world can be called a dragon, but there are also Su Shi's poems? Isn't this rebellion?

This crime is a big deal! Once established, Su Shi will confiscate his family and exterminate his clan! No one dares to trek into such a muddy water. If he accidentally becomes a co-camp, he will be contagious if he is careful of rebellion! But someone still stood up. Su Shi still has a good friend in the court! No matter what the person evaluates in history, is it in conflict with Su Shi's political views? In Su Shi's heart, this person will always be a brother who can share the hardships - Zhang Dun! At this moment, Zhang Dun stood up to defend Su Shi! May I ask the Prime Minister: Are you sure that except the emperor, ministers do not use the word dragon to write poems? Do you believe that anyone else uses the word dragon as their names?

Wang Gui was not showing weakness, so he must persist at this moment! As a result, the two of them quarreled back and forth in the Golden Palace. After a long quarreling, they found that the emperor was sitting calmly on the side, as if thinking about other things... Wang Gui felt that something was wrong. Someone rebelled. Why wasn't the emperor angry? He was not like this five years ago. At that time, he demoted Su Shi and suppressed him and beat him hard. The effect of killing him to warn him was very good. But now...
