When the case arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, Kou Zhun was overjoyed! He sued Zhang Qixian and asked for it. He was unable to ask for it! Because there was a saying that Kou Zhun had been drinking and listening to music in Dengzhou for many years, and was largely suppressed by Zhang Qixian. The two people had been incompatible for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he would be able to get out of his anger as soon as he took office. However, with the power of the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, it was impossible to interrogate the former prime minister Zhang Qixian. Even Kou Zhun was the former deputy prime minister of political affairs. Only the emperor and the Censorate had this qualification. So Kou Zhun immediately escalated the case and handed over to the emperor! Zhao Heng had to accept it and handed the case to the Censorate. But no one expected that Chai was so powerful!

In order to determine the separation of inheritance and remarriage of the second marriage, she actually walked to the gate of the palace and beat the Dengwen Drum. She sued the two sons of the Xue family! Let me tell you here that the Dengwen Drum was a sacred and inviolable case at the end of the feudal dynasty, that is, in the late Qing Dynasty, and that "it must be bound to be the military and national affairs, great greed and evil, strange injustice and misery" to beat the drum and make injustice. But what kind of strange human cases should be matched with such an adjective to be based on some spectrum? So this thing was basically a decoration in the late Qing Dynasty... But it was not like this before. In the Zhao Guangyi period, someone beat the drum and knocked the big bitch out because he lost a pig... So the Chai family's actions were not excessive. But a thousand years ago, a noble lady was knocking the earth-shaking because she was in a hurry to remarry. This was too outrageous?

So the emperor had to sit in the palace to listen to the case. Chai said that her son was a good son, and he was completely accused by one person. He was the current prime minister Xiang Minzhong! The specific plot was that Xiang Minzhong fell in love with the old house of the Xue family, bought it at a low price, and then he even started her idea to marry her. And of course she was so chaste, of course she was unwilling to do so. So Xiang Minzhong instigated her sons to oppose her. This was completely despicable and shameless, and she wanted to gain both money and sex, but she did not succeed and deliberately revenge!

Zhao Heng looked up and down at the Chai woman, wondering why she is so destined to be the prime minister? This is the third prime minister who has something to do with her... Then he turned around and asked what happened to Xiang Minzhong?

Xiang Minzhong admitted that he did buy the old house of Xue for 5 million yuan, but he had never seen Chai before. How could he talk about this issue of men and women? Moreover, his wife had just died and was mourning his deceased wife with all his might. How could he feel like a woman?

Zhao Heng thought about it and did not pursue it anymore. But the fatal thing was that the Dengwen drum rang again. It was Chai. She would never give up until she achieved her goal. She would definitely pull Xiang Minzhong into the water and drowned her!

The emperor is popular. National affairs, Khitan Party Xiang, how annoyed me! A dead woman actually pestered me like this! He ordered the Chai family to throw it into prison. You can interrogate me carefully. What nerve did this woman get confused? In the Censorate, Censorship has caused all the tricks. There is indeed someone behind her - Zhang Zonghui, the son of Zhang Qixian. The purpose is to divert her attention and use Xiang Minzhong to push the jar. Who asked Xiang to buy the Xue family house? At the same time, a case was also found out. The Xue family's old house was personally ordered by His Majesty Taizong to not be traded. He knew that the Xue family's children and grandchildren were not good, and they were afraid that they would lose their ancestors' business. So Xiang Minzhong was unlucky and impeached by the Censorship...

The matter is far from over. Everyone pushed the wall down, and Xiang Minzhong's enemies jumped out one by one. A man named Wang Si directly pointed to Xiang Minzhong's fatal point. "The prime minister committed the crime of deceiving the king. When he died, his wife immediately thought about the woman. He had fallen in love with Wang Chengyan's daughter, and he was only short of giving a betrothal gift." Zhao Heng immediately sent someone to investigate, and the Wang family's daughter admitted it in person... The emperor was extremely disappointed with his prime minister...

On the 25th, Xiang Minzhong was dismissed from prime minister. Zhang Qixian was demoted to be Taichangqing. Don’t be stunned in Kaifeng. Go to Luoyang... Where is the Chai family? All the assets were confiscated and they were all careless since then. Her reputation as a shrew had spread throughout the land of China with the intense sound of drums. It is estimated that even the Khitans were no longer interested in him... The young men of the Xue family could only guard the old house that could not be sold, and starved to death with golden rice bowls...

This is a bloody case caused by a woman who wants to marry. After this case, there were only two prime ministers left in the Song Dynasty: Saint Prime Minister Li Han and Top Prize Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng. But they died one after another. Everything was like God's arrangement. If not, how could they free up the position of prime minister for Lord Kou?

In February of the 6th year of Xianping (1003), Pan Luozhi, the chief of the Liugu tribe, came to tribute and proposed to eliminate Li Jiqian for the court. On the 20th, Zhao Heng appointed Pan Luozhi as the governor of Shuofang and the inspector of the west of Lingzhou.

On April 17, the Liao army was led by Yelu Nugua, the prime minister of the Southern Prefecture, and the famous general Xiao Dalin, and went south to attack Song! I wonder if the Liao army knew the configuration of the Song army's troops in advance, and the target was directly aimed at the basis of the Song army's vanguard camp - Dingzhou! This completely reflects the famous general style of the new Liao army commander Xiao Dalin - without dragging on the mud, directly seeking a decisive battle!

The front-line commander of the Song army, Wang Chao, received the battle report. Let me talk about the power of the front-line commander. The direct border with the Liao Kingdom is the Hebei Road of the Song Dynasty, which is divided into 4 war zones: Gaoyangguan Road, Damingfu Road, Dingzhou Road, and Zhendingfu Road (or Zhenzhou Road). The actual position of this front-line commander is Zhen, Ding, and Gaoyangguan camps. That is to say, he mastered the three major war zones of Hebei Road. At this time, Wang Chao was in charge of Dingzhou, waiting for the enemy to arrive, and stabilize the entire battlefield situation. Then he ordered the other two places in the defense zone, Zhenzhou, and the troops from Gaoyangguan quickly approached him and gathered their forces to compete with the Liao army! Zhenzhou Sangzan acted immediately and quickly rushed to Wang Chao. But the commander of Gaoyangguan Zhou Ying only gave Wang Chao a piece of paper - Wang Chao, you can't move me. Without the emperor's edict, no one soldier or soldier in Gaoyangguan will be able to move!

Wang Chao was furious, but he had no choice. 1 The military strength of Gaoyang Pass was extraordinary and he had always enjoyed privileges. Back then, Kang Baoyi could have been independent of Fu Qian's order and could decide when he would attack. 2 Zhou Ying, General Zhou, has a huge background, and Wang Chao is not an opponent at all. Only the premiere commander, and the Privy Councilor Wang Xian has the right to mobilize him. Wang Chao, who are you?

The enemy is facing the enemy, and suddenly one-third of the main combat force is missing. Wang Chao has no choice but to join forces with Sang Zan to fight the enemy in Wangdu County, north of Dingzhou!

Wang Chao first sent 1,500 infantrymen to form formations outside Wangdu County to block the enemy, delaying the speed of the Khitan cavalry. Then Wang Chao's large team of troops arrived. Wang Chao himself faced the enemy Xiao Dalin, and his deputy Wang Jizhong fought against Yelu Nugua. The fierce battle started in the evening!

The battle situation was extremely fierce. The Song army bravely repelled the Liao army after entering the night. But the commander Wang Chao knew that he had too few troops, so he ordered him to retreat at night... but the battlefield was too chaotic. It was not until dawn that he discovered that Wang Jizhong did not withdraw...

Wang Jizhong's retreat had been cut off by the Liao cavalry, and the military food and supplies were burned down. Looking around the battlefield, he could no longer see his friendly army, so he could only fight alone... He led his troops to attack the burning place of the food and grass, and rescued the baggage first. But his armor was too clear. The Song and Liao battled for years, and even the bowstrings of both sides were no longer a secret. Who would not recognize the suit of the Song Dynasty general? In an instant, he became the target of all Liao soldiers... On the target of public criticism, the Liao army surrounded dozens of levels. The soldiers of the Song army protected him and fought along the west mountain, breaking northward, and heading to Baicheng, and finally reached the limit...

At this time, a tragedy also occurred in the harem of the Song Dynasty. The second son of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, the only son of Empress Guo, died of serious illness. 15 days later, another son who was only 2 months old died... Emperor Zhenzong of Song began to pay attention to his offspring issue and raised his son (this child according to my analysis, Zhao Yunrang, the son of his fourth brother, and the future father of Emperor Yingzong) as his son and in the palace.

The war is coming, and the country must be stable. On the 25th, Zhang Yong, the most famous local minister of the Song Dynasty, led the emperor's trust to enter Shu again. This time he will stay for a long time and bring complete happiness and well-being to the people of Shu...

During the , the entire Song army was wiped out. Wang Jizhong died for the country and had already died in battle. The Liao army had already formed a military command... This was Wang Chao's memorial to the court on May 2. He also knew who Wang Jizhong was, and that was Zhao Heng's partner when he was still a prince! But his responsibility and sense of honor as a soldier made him unable to lie... But in fact, this was a huge mistake...

I heard that Wang Jizhong, his childhood partner, died in battle, and Song Zhenzong was sadder than his own son. He held a national mourning for the king on the 8th. But in fact, Wang Jizhong did not die in the , but was captured alive, and surrendered to the Great Khitan at this time. This surrender is of great significance and directly led to the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance one and a half years later... I once made a ranking list for the heroes of the Battle of Chanyuan. In the Song Dynasty, Wang Jizhong's contribution was only under Kou Zhun, and he was ranked second! In the Liao Dynasty, Wang Jizhong's contribution was unparalleled and he was a well-deserved first hero! Therefore, a biography of him was left in the "History of Song" and "History of Liao"...

On May 5, Li Yuanhao, the son of Li Deming, the future founding emperor of the Western Xia, was born. At this time, his grandfather Li Jiqian's life was only in the last 20 days. He was rushing to Xiliang Prefecture in the Hexi Corridor for thousands of miles. He achieved a great victory in the raid, and Xiliang Prefecture fell instantly, far worse than Lingzhou City in the Song Dynasty. Pan Luozhi and the Tubo people had to choose to escape. Li Jiqian hit the head in the Hexi Corridor and bit off the fattest piece of meat. The Hexi Corridor has been the main throat of the Central Plains to the Western Regions throughout the dynasties. The famous "Silk Road" passed here, with great strategic significance. Now Xiping Prefecture and Xiliang Prefecture have become the wings of the Dangxiang people, and they will turn into eagles and soar...

Li Jiqian decided to take advantage of the victory and seize Pan Luozhi in one go, uprooting the Tubo people. But... Pan Luozhi suddenly announced his surrender!

The gap is too big... Is it all done? The Liugu tribe, the strongest tribe in Tubo, is over? Everyone is here to make a living. Please make it more difficult to deceive people, okay? Deceiving surrender is also an art, you are too stiff! But Li Jiqian doesn't care about these things. Faced with naked fraud, he chose to follow up immediately...

So I took the iron while it was hot. The surrender was anxious and the surrender was in harmony. The two sides hit it off and quickly held a surrender conference. The conference was held warmly and sincerely. With the old eyes of Li Jiqian, a professional surrender, looked around, but no flaws were found. Because Pan Luozhi did it so well...

In this way, in a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere that day, the surrender conference ended successfully. Li Jiqian turned back home with a happy heart... Then he suddenly realized that everyone would change their tricks, and each had their own mysteries. It turned out that this could be done by fraudulent surrender!

On Li Jiqian's way home, suddenly ambushes were everywhere. That was the entire family of the Liugu tribe of Tubo, and other tribes that were urgently summoned. Let's see off Li Jiqian...

Li Jiqian failed. He could only use his escape skill that he had been practicing diligently for twenty years. But this time, the Tubo war horses seemed to be no worse than Dangxiang's. Li Jiqian barely escaped. But he was covered with arrows. On May 27, 1003, the Dangxiang hero ended his life in Xiping Prefecture due to serious injuries... and Pan Luozhi immediately made a comeback, and Xiliang Prefecture was a Tubo again...

Starting from a false surrender, he finally fell down... Is this retribution or fate? 21 years ago, when he was only 20 years old, he used the coffin of his wet nurse to deceive the Song army, came to Dijinze, and raised the banner of anti-Song independence. After 21 years of struggle, he was in his prime, but he had to leave so reluctantly... Looking back on his life, he was so persevering, magnificent, full of indomitableness and challenges. For freedom, for the independence and strength of his own nation, he fought all his life from beginning to end!

The hero who rose in suffering still could not let go of his tribe and his 23-year-old son before his death. He died in severe pain, but he remained extremely awake. Before his death, he repeatedly warned Li Deming: Keep it confidential and never let the Tubo people know that they are dead. First report to the Khitan, and ask the Great Khitan to grant your official position and be your guardian. Then he must submit to the Song Dynasty. "If you fall in love with one word, you will ask for it again. Even if you are tired, you will not ask for it, don't stop it." Li Ji moved away so reluctantly...

The battle of Wangdu failed, and his childhood friend was "dead in battle" was no different from the previous defeats. This failure made the emperor's nostalgic feelings absolutely unacceptable. Zhao Heng's reaction was unprecedentedly fierce! He solicited opinions widely, from the prime minister of the East Prefecture, the Privy Councilor of the West Prefecture to grassroots officers like Er Yang, and finally decided to make it on June 1.
Chapter completed!
