Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 720 Xianming Su Empress
Like Pan Weiji, it was Chai Rong's seventh son, named Chai Xihui.

After Zhao Kuangyin's mutiny in Chenqiao, Chai Xihui was adopted by the founding general Lu Yan, and like Pan Weiji, he chose to change his name and surname. After all, the surname Chai and the existence of the Chai family's blood will always make the Zhao family feel a little embarrassed. A little worried.

So Chai Xihui changed his name to Lu Xuan.

Chai Rong was a wise emperor. He once praised Zhao Huan by saying that if the official's perseverance did not change, he could see the Western Regions in ten years.

The source of this evaluation comes from Chai Rong's mouth.

[I will use ten years to open up the world, ten years to support the people, and ten years to bring peace, that's enough! 】

The situation that Chai Rong faced was more difficult than his own start, but it was still a battle between the South and the North, which laid the foundation for Zhao Song's unification war.

At the beginning, Li Gang also communicated with Zhao Huan in detail about the reasons for sparing Pan Chengyi.

Pan Chengyi's identity is a well-known secret. If Zhao Huan really got rid of Pan Chengyi, he would violate the oath on the stone in the side room of the Great Song Dynasty Taimiao and give preferential treatment to Chai Rong's heirs.

Under the turbulent situation at that time, Zhao Huan did not intend to add to the chaos.

The reason why the Song Dynasty was the only dynasty in the entire feudal dynasty that did not despise merchants was that Chai Rong was originally a merchant and had been in business for many years.

"Who is Pan Chengyi?" Zhao Huan murmured to himself.

But it's not like...

Pan Chengyi was very honest and a leading fighter. When Yan Zongwang besieged Bianjing in the first year of Jingkang, he also went up to the top of the city to shoot arrows. Zhao Huan also followed suit in many decrees.

"Is there anything bothering the official?" Li Qingzhao looked at the official suspiciously.

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "No problem. Jiang Taigong was fishing, and those who wished were hooked. It's a pity that they didn't catch it."

Zhao Huan was quite powerless. He originally thought that the Jinshi Society could become a breakthrough.

"Zhao Mingcheng proposed to the Supreme Emperor to restore the government, and on the list provided by the Supreme Emperor, several of them were members of the Jinshi Institute, so I came to take a look." Zhao Huan said with a smile and shook his head.

Li Qingzhao's originally smiling face seemed to freeze in an instant, she put down the Shenlong notebook, and frowned, thinking about the meaning behind the official's words.

"Who is the person next to Zhao Mingcheng?" Zhao Huan pointed to a booth downstairs and asked Zhao Ying.

Zhao Mingcheng also arrived at the Jinshi Institute, followed by a woman wearing a veil, who was discussing the gold and stone items on the booth, arousing the admiration of the people around him from time to time.

Only then did Li Qingzhao come to her senses. She looked at Zhao Mingcheng downstairs and shook her head. Ever since the official sentenced him to divorce, she hadn't paid attention to this person again.

Zhao Ying shook her head and looked at it, and said, "Recently, Zhao Mingcheng took in a room of orchids, and I think this is that orchid."

"Cheng Chu sent people to follow him for a few days, but he didn't find any conspicuous people around him. It seems that it can only be a bedside wind."

"Look up the origin of this orchid." Zhao Huan nodded and said.

Li Qingzhao closed his eyes for a long time before he said: "Officials, my concubine is not feeling well, so I will leave for the time being."

Looking at Li Qingzhao's face, Zhao Huan shook his head helplessly. This woman is easily criticized for her meddling in political affairs, especially after the examples of Wu Zetian and Liu E, the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty were extremely cautious about women's participation in politics .

Obviously Li Qingzhao understood her current situation from Zhao Huan's words just now.

Liu E is a legendary woman in the Song Dynasty. She was born in Shu. After she was born, her parents died, and Liu E was fostered in her mother Pang's natal family.

Liu E, who lived under the fence, was sold to Jiaofang by Pang's natal family before she lived a stable life for a few years and became a singer.

She sings mellowly and beautifully, and is also good at broadcasting, her fame spreads widely.

And a silversmith named Gong Mei redeemed her. Liu E, 13 years old, married Gong Mei in this way.

Gong Mei rushed to Bianjing from Sichuan to do business, but her business was not good and she was in a difficult situation. Gong Mei sold Liu E to the home of Zhao Heng (heng), the king of Han at that time, as a slave.

Zhao Heng's father is Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi was furious when he learned that Zhao Heng was hanging out with Liu E, a songstress who killed his parents and killed his parents, and was furious! Zhao Heng drove Liu E out of the palace!

In the third year of Zhidao, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi died, Zhao Heng came to the throne, and Liu E was also taken into the palace, but without any title.

It was not until the first year of Jingde five years later that Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng conferred Liu E as a fourth-rank beauty.

From the third year of Zhidao, it took Liu E 22 years to climb to the position of queen and began to get involved in political affairs.

In the first year of Qianxing, Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng died, and Liu E successfully dressed in imperial clothes and came to the court to proclaim the system.

As for Liu E's opponents along the way, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi did not want to see him, and Pan Mei's daughter, Empress Guo, was in trouble in the harem. Waiting for the power to dominate the harem must not mess with the government.

Liu E defeated them one by one, and successfully proclaimed himself emperor in the imperial court. He was astonishing in the world wearing the imperial uniform, and his courtiers frequently presented pictures "Empress Wu's Proclamation of the Imperial Court" implying that Liu E ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Wu Zetian's father was still a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian's entry into the palace was also due to his in-laws.However, Liu E completely relied on himself, and got to the point where he was in charge of the imperial court.

However, Liu E's historical evaluation and posthumous title all reflect that she did a good job when she was in power.

The posthumous posthumous posthumous title of Empress Mingsu is comparable to the ambiguous evaluation of Empress Zetian, and I don't know how many ranks higher.

Zhao Huan certainly didn't want Li Qingzhao to become a person like Liu E, who would do anything for power and become a slave to power.

"If you are not feeling well, you can rest for a few more days, so you don't need to learn Yingmao in Huiyinglou, and go to Yanfu Palace to see Chen'er more." Zhao Huan said to Li Qingzhao with a smile.

"Where is the Ministry of Commerce?" Li Qingzhao asked, his eyes finally regained some brightness.

Zhao Huan took a look at Li Gang, and Li Gang hurriedly said: "Although Chen Chong's handling of things is not thorough enough, he can still be used, and he can take care of himself."

Zhao Huan asked Li Qingzhao's opinion with his eyes. The Ministry of Commerce was Li Qingzhao's painstaking effort. She was in charge of everything from the preparation to the gradual growth, and then to the textile factory. This job should belong to her.

"Then Chen Chong. The concubine should also rest." Li Qingzhao finally had a bright and smiling face.

She is tired.

No matter whether it was the work of Gongzheng in Huiyinglou or the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, no matter if it was done well or not, there would always be people talking behind their backs. The officials finally came back, and she didn't have to work so hard.

She really had enough of Wen Chen's group of yin and yang.

Zhao Huan sighed, squinting and watching nearly a thousand people coming and going in the elegant hall, with unfriendly eyes.

Who is that guy hiding in the dark? !
