A few months later, she gave birth to a child. A new life was born. It is said that the wealthy businessman was very happy, but forgot to count the days. This was not his seed, but his surname was Nong! This child was very special. He, like Muzang Epang, had strong self-confidence. For no reason, he believed that he wanted to be the emperor!

When the child grew up, he finally learned his life experience one day. Without saying a word, he slashed his adoptive father with a knife and took his mother back to his father's jurisdiction. He instantly regained his father's original position, and then did something that the Nong people dared not dream of for thousands of years: he built his own country, "Dali Country"! No matter how big the Song Dynasty was or how strong Jiaozhi was, there was a Dali Kingdom behind him. Anyway, I just wanted to be the emperor! He succeeded and his name was instantly resounding: Nong Zhigao! At least the people of Jiaozhi remembered him firmly...

How simple! You don’t agree, right? Then I’ll beat you up! Nong Zhigao and his father were beaten up by the Jiaozhi people and caught him. However, the endings of him and his father are still very different. Maybe he performed well during the labor camp, right? He was released by the Jiaozhi people and his official position was restored, so he was still the leader of Guangyuanman in Suzhou.

But Nong Zhigao's heart as an emperor will never change. He was full of anger and became a spirit of hard work. While bowing down to Jiaozhi, he secretly recruited soldiers and horses, and incorporated all the forces around him (Leihuo, Pinpo and other 4 holes, Silangzhou, Andezhou). His power grew day by day, and he recruited many barbarian brothers. Gradually, the conditions were ripe. Another country made a grand appearance. The name of "Southern Heaven" was louder than before, but experience made people smart. Nong Zhigao had seen the fists and feet of the people of Jiaozhi, and Zhiguang could not survive independently by himself. At this time, he thought of the glorious, great, famous, and invincible Song Dynasty. His territory was theoretically from the Song Dynasty, so he solemnly wrote the report required to be attached. It should be no problem? At that time, the emperor was far away. The Song Dynasty was my elder brother. Is the little Jiaozhi still a problem?

Nong Zhigao wrote the letter with sincerity and sent someone to the nearest Song Dynasty city of Yongzhou. From then on, he became a watcher in the wheat field, looking forward to the reply from the Song Dynasty every day, and would wait for more than 2 and a half years... Then we will come to see him again.

After Yelu Zongzhen personally fought back to the Central Army, Xiao Hui's Southern Army and Yelu's Northern Army continued to penetrate into the Xia territory. Xiao Hui's Southern Army's warships stretched hundreds of miles, and his subordinates suggested that he send scouts to investigate the movements in the Western Xia at any time, but Xiao Hui refused to listen. Sure enough, on the 17th, the Western Xia army raided Xiao Hui's camp, and the Liao army had not even had time to put on armor to fight, so they were defeated. Xiao Hui was almost captured.

In October, Yelu Di Lugu led the Northern Army, the main force of the Zubu tribe, to Helan Mountain, and captured Li Yuanhao's wife (not the Queen Momeng) and a large number of Western Xia officials' families back to the country. On the way, he encountered a challenge from 3,000 Western Xia troops and defeated him. Xiao Ci's slaves and Yelu Wuli died in battle.

On January 12, 2nd year of Huangyou (1050), Yelu Zongzhen rewarded and punished the battle for the Xia Dynasty: In this battle, Xiao Hui's southern army was defeated, Yelu's northern army won the Northern Army, and Yelu Zongzhen's own central army was unbeaten. So the enemy Lugu advanced to the Prince of Qishui. Because Xiao Hui's son Xiao Ci's slave died in the Northern Army, Xiao Hui was able to repay his merits and demerits and was exempted from punishment. On the 13th, Zongzhen sent an envoy to Xixia to question the crime. On February 30, Xi

The Xia army attacked Jinsu City of Liao Kingdom to take revenge, but was defeated by Yelu Gao's family. Two masters were killed, and another was injured and fled, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed. On March 10, Xiao Dielid defeated the Western Xia army in Sanjiaochuan again. On the 13th, Zongzhen sent Yelu Yi to the Song Dynasty to inform him of the situation of the battle in this personal expedition. On the 16th, Xiao Punu and others were sent to lead a large army to attack Xia. On the 17th, he ordered Xiao Ge, the Privy Councilor of the North Court, to station a large army on the Xia and Liao border to support him.

On the 22nd, Yelu Zongzhen stayed in Xijidian. Zhao Jia, a Hanlin scholar in the Song Dynasty, was a temporary envoy sent to this time, and hunted with Yelu Zongzhen in Xijidian. Zongzhen ordered Zhao Jia to write the poem "Swearing as Mountains and Rivers" and gave it a jade cup.

On May 7, Xiao Punu's army entered Xixia. His treatment was the same as his emperor: the people of Xixia were strong and clearing the fields, and he did not see the enemy, and he plundered and returned... At this point, the second battles of the three major battles of Liaoxia and the third battles ended one after another...

Now please ask Lord Bao Zheng to make a grand appearance: Lord Bao’s fame and deeds are of Zhuge Liang’s level. He is not only a human, but also a god! Walking in the yin and yang worlds, no matter who the other party is, he has an iron face to face. His wisdom is an invincible magnifying glass. No matter what kind of sin or privacy you have, you don’t want to escape his eyes! Of course, what is most fascinating is his power: as long as you are guilty, you must have deserved the sin. No matter who you are!

Okay, now look at his resume and life from the beginning. Bao Zheng’s name is Xiren, and he is from Hefei, Luzhou. It is not like the legend that his parents died early and were raised by his sister-in-law, so he called her sister-in-law’s mother. On the contrary, his parents were alive and lived with him until the last moment of his life.

Bao Zheng passed the Jinshi exam in the fifth year of Tiansheng. The talent in that subject was very popular. From the top scholar Wang Yaochen to Han Qi, Wu Yu, Zhao Guai, Wen Yanbo and others, they all successively won the East and West governments and became the top court officials of the Song Dynasty. Compared with these people, Bao Zheng's glory came too late. After becoming a Jinshi, he resigned from his post on the grounds of his old age and returned to his hometown. He continued to support his parents until the two elders passed away. He then mourned for another 3 years, and for a total of 10 years, he came out to become a small magistrate. He only left a recordable example in his position as a magistrate. That is, the famous cattle killing case.

Someone raised a cow and his tongue was stolen, so he came to report to the official. But he had no clue or evidence. What should I do? Bao Zheng was helpless. He told the official to report to: Go back and kill the cow, but it would not survive anyway (the cow will die if his tongue is gone). After the cow was killed, another person came to report to the official. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the person who killed the cow privately was guilty. At this time, Bao Zheng asked the enthusiastic citizen: Why did you want to cut the cow's tongue and sue it again? Do you have such a great grudge against others? So the man accepted the crime...

Then Bao Zheng was promoted from a county magistrate to a Duanzhou magistrate. When he was a Duanzhou magistrate, he had no other stories of his performance except honesty. He was an official in Duanzhou, which was rich in Duan inkstones, and did not take away any of them until he stepped down. In fact, he didn't need to take away anything at all, because he got greater benefits. The next stop was the Censorate, who was a first-class Beijing official.

Let me judge the treacherous person with a villain's heart: Bao Zheng completely understood the talent identification standard of ancient Chinese Confucian theory "non-filial sons and unfaithful ministers". Only when a person is filial to his parents can he be loyal to the king. This is a test and accurate one! But no matter what, Bao Zheng was not obsessed with power and status, and devoted himself to his parents in the countryside. Such a person should be worthy of our respect. So it is a good thing to promote him to the Censorate. The rectification movement began! The first shot hit the emperor's favorite favorite!

The words were a bit confusing, but it was actually very simple. The emperor's favorite was Concubine Zhang, and Concubine Zhang's favorite was her uncle Zhang Yaozuo. In fact, it was not close. First, Zhang Yaozuo and Concubine Zhang's father were cousins ​​and not brothers. Second, Zhang Yaozuo was very affectionate and really did not save him. When his father died, Miss Zhang had no relatives, and the only way out was to join his uncle, but Zhang Yaozuo refused. The reason was that his official position was too far away and you could not get there in Sichuan. So Miss Zhang had to change careers and become a dancer, so she barely survived. Finally, Miss Zhang entered the palace by chance, and now she has become a Concubine step by step.

In theory, such elders can basically be ignored and just pretend that they are not like this person? But strangely, Zhang Yaozuo has the ability to make his niece amnesia. Since she entered the palace, he has settled for this marriage. Miss Zhang has been brainwashed after she said something. From then on, she took her uncle's promotion and wealth as her mission, and she was happy, and fought forever.

The effect was very significant. Zhang Yaozuoji was promoted from a prosecutor in the distant border of Sichuan to the third highest official and third magistrate of the Song Empire, in charge of the world's money and grain.

To sum up, two answers can be drawn: 1. Zhang Yaozuo is shameless, and Zhang Meiren is forgetful. But this is not what Bao Zheng thought. What he saw was the crisis of the empire. The reason why it was called a crisis was entirely told by "truth", that is, Confucianism. Confucianism can be super broad or can be reduced to one sentence: To govern the world with scholars and officials! Under this premise, no force can be allowed to rob the privileges of scholars and officials, including other schools of thought and the emperor's wives and relatives. Especially Zhang Meiren, who is young and beautiful, has a poor background (equivalent to being uncultured and unsightly), and her shameless and incompetent uncle. Letting them take power will surely harm the country and the people!

So Bao Zheng decided to impeach him. At this time, his status was still quite low. He had to bring in many colleagues when he wanted to talk about the matter. Aside from the topic, Bao Zheng was quite popular in the censor system because his team stood well. In our ordinary thinking, Bao Zheng should be a great man standing with gentlemen such as Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu. Unfortunately, he was wrong! He was promoted to the capital during the Qingli period, and was recommended by Wang Gongchen, the then chief censor. After taking office, he fiercely criticized the new policy and demolished Fan Zhongyan's platform. He was a rare good player!

By competing with the gentlemen of the new policy, Bao Zheng did a good job of warm-up exercise, and was ready to make efforts to the Zhang group. He looked back on the past and looked forward to the future, and felt cold: This Concubine Zhang had the shadow of Liu E! She was also from a poor family and was also keen on power. It is very likely that the Song Dynasty would be a saint-level empress dowager! This is not an exaggeration!

For example, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo had close contacts with Zhang Yaozuo when he was in Sichuan. After entering Beijing, he colluded with Concubine Zhang inside and outside. In addition to the internal information of suppressing rebellion in Beizhou, there was also a lantern viewing on the Lantern Festival in a certain year. Concubine Zhang wore special clothes and was very eye-catching, which was a rare lantern brocade. The emperor asked where it came from? Concubine was very honest: given by Mrs. Wen Yanbo.

Another time, the emperor went to the imperial concubine's room for a walk and suddenly saw a row of red porcelain produced in Dingzhou, which was bright and dazzling, luxurious and rare. When asked, the imperial concubine honestly explained: "Mr. Wang Gongchen gave it to me." The emperor was very angry and raised the pillar axe in his hand and smashed it one by one.

These are not counted. The feudal state is very strict, and everyone enjoys the show. This is a rule that is greater than the sky in Confucian theory, called "etiquette", but Concubine Zhang doesn't take it seriously. On one trip, she must use the empress's umbrella. So she showed her full set of feminine charm and kept moaning the emperor endlessly. The emperor couldn't stand it anymore, so she smiled at her: Go and borrow it from the empress, she gave it to you, you use it. As a result, she went there, and Empress Cao was also very interesting: If you want it, I will give it to it. So Concubine Zhang happily reported that the empress had borrowed me. However, the emperor suddenly fell down: The national code is orderly, and you are rude. Do you think anything is a joke?

There are many more, and I won’t go into details. In summary, this woman is greedy for small profits and vain. What can be compared with Liu E back then? And every time Meiren Zhang wants to be out of style, she is shocked by the emperor on the spot and has never given her a good face!

It means that everything is under the control of the emperor and the danger does not exist at all! But Bao Zheng and others just want to make trouble! On June 21, the impeachment memorial was handed over, mainly two points of impeachment: 1. Zhang Yaozuo did not understand business and relied on nepotism to take office, which seriously hindered the normal work of the three departments. 2. Recently, the Yellow River was changed to a different route, and Kaifeng City was still in an earthquake. This was also the reason why Zhang Yaozuo made a fuss...

Alas! Even the Yellow River's major diverter was caused by Zhang Yaozuo? Then can he still be a mortal?

The emperor was too lazy to watch it, so he threw it aside. After the defeat in the first battle, Bao Zheng and the others suppressed their anger and went home to rest and thought slowly that there would be a solution!

Originally, Zhang Yaozuo was also a genuine Jinshi. Although he was not very good at doing well, he had no bad record. Why can't he be a Sansi envoy? He said he didn't understand business? So many great officials and capable people have all been a Sansi envoy. Who has made any achievements? The country should be redundant, and the redundant officials, and the redundant ones are still redundant. To put it bluntly: they are all wastes of the same type!

At the critical moment, the old comrades took action. He Tan, an old impeachment celebrity in the Censorate, applied for an official position because his mother was old and asked to take care of him nearby. Before leaving on August 5, he chatted with the emperor: Zhang Yaozuo was promoted too quickly and the personnel behind him were unsatisfied. If you really like him, treat him like that as your uncle Li Yonghe who died more than half a month ago.

Isn't it good to only increase the position, not give power, enjoy wealth and honor for a lifetime, not show off or show off, isn't it good?

Zhao Zhen was a little moved, it was really good. At the same time, Bao Zheng was promoted, transferred from the Censorate to the Zhijianyuan, and became the president. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. He began to keep nagging in the emperor's ears - stop Zhang Yaozuo, stop Zhang Yaozuo... Lord Bao became the Song Dynasty version of Tang Monk!

On September 18, the Western Xia army invaded the Liao border and was repelled by Yelu's enemy Lugu. Mozang Epang and Empress Dowager Mozang had to consider bowing their heads to Yelu Zongzhen again to submit to Xiao. On October 17, Empress Dowager Mozang sent an envoy to Liao in the name of Li Liangzuo, asking to resign.
