Three Kingdoms video king: The opening inventory of the top ten fighters!

Chapter 208
Then Gao Qiong asked Song Zhenzong to leave to cross the river immediately, Feng Zheng, a member of the Privy Council, scolded Gao Qiong for being reckless towards Song Zhenzong, Gao Qiong retorted angrily:
"You, Feng Zheng, have become ministers of the two governments just because you can write articles. Now the enemy soldiers are provoking me. I persuade the emperor to go to the army, but you blame me for being rude. You have the ability, why don't you write a poem to make the enemy retreat? ?”

Gao Qiong ordered the guards to turn Zhenzong's car to the north city. When crossing the pontoon bridge, Gao Qiong was almost driving the guards forward.

When the Yellow Dragon Banner of Zhenzong appeared on the tower of the North City of Chanzhou, the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Song Dynasty immediately burst into cheers and became full of momentum.

After Zhenzong went to the northern city of Chanzhou for a symbolic inspection, he still returned to the palace in the southern city, leaving Kou Zhun in the northern city to take charge of commanding operations.

Song Zhenzong sent people to visit Kou Zhun's actions several times. Kou Zhun and Zhi Zhigao Yang Yi drank and played chess on the tower, very calm.

Since the large-scale invasion of the Liao Kingdom, soldiers and civilians from all over the country have bravely resisted the enemy. Although the Liao army claims to be 20, it is a lone army, with long supply lines and insufficient food and grass.

After October, the Liao army suffered successive defeats on the battlefield, especially when Zhenzong came to Beicheng in person. The Liao army vanguard Xiao Talan was shot and killed by Song general Li Jilong's general Zhang Huan with an elite bed crossbow at the foot of Chanzhou city, which greatly shook the people. It broke the Khitan army's heart.

Therefore, Xiao Chuo, the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom, and Yelu Longyun, the Prime Minister, estimated that they would not be able to get any benefits on the battlefield, so they turned to the Northern Song Dynasty to negotiate a peace, trying to obtain benefits that they could not get on the battlefield from the negotiating table.

Song Zhenzong had no determination to fight against the enemy. At about the same time he left Beijing to fight in person, Cao Li, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, was also sent to the Khitan military camp.

Cao Li was a very low-ranking official at the time. During the confrontation between the Liao and Song Dynasties, Cao Li always traveled between the two armies.

Shengzong of Liao Dynasty and Empress Dowager Xiao also used the Song general Wang Jizhong, who was captured in the Battle of Wangdu the previous year, to contact Cao. .

Song Fang's condition was that as long as the Liao country retreated, it could give Liao some silver and silk every year, but did not agree to the territorial request.

Negotiations were carried out during the confrontation between the two armies, and finally an agreement was reached according to the conditions of the Song side. The remaining issue was the amount of silver silk to be given to Liao every year. Cao Li asked Song Zhenzong for instructions before leaving, and Zhenzong said:
"As a last resort, 100 million is fine."

As soon as Cao Li came out of Zhenzong's palace, he was stopped by Kou Zhun who had been waiting outside the door. Kou Zhun told him:

"Although there is the Holy Majesty's will, you should negotiate and agree that the silver silk you will give will not exceed 30 yuan. Otherwise, you don't have to come to see me again, and I will behead you at that time!"

Kou Zhun always opposed the negotiation of peace, and advocated taking advantage of the situation to send troops to recover the lost land. The generals of the main battle sent the Ningbian Army to deploy Yang Zhi to seize Youyan and several states.

However, because Zhenzong was devoted to peace negotiation, the Compromise faction became arrogant. They attacked Kou Zhun's self-respect and even said that he had plotted against the law.

Under the slander of these people, Kou Zhun was forced to give up his idea of ​​the main war. Therefore, under the plan of the Compromisers, in December of the same year, Song and Liao signed a peace treaty. This is the famous "Chanyuan War" in history. Alliance".

The Chanyuan alliance is certainly commendable. In this war, the Song army also gave a powerful counterattack to the Liao army, making the rulers of the Liao Dynasty realize that the Song army and the people in the Central Plains should not be insulted.

From then on, Khitan did not dare to launch a large-scale invasion. After the Chanyuan alliance, the Song and Liao borders were peaceful, trade was prosperous, and people's lives were stable.

From actively resisting the enemy to the alliance of Chanyuan, Kou Zhun's meritorious service crowned the courtiers, which is obvious to all, but the meritorious ministers caused unexpected disasters.

Kou Zhun made great contributions to the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhenzong respected Kou Zhun very much, which aroused the jealousy and hatred of the compromising bureaucrats.

Wang Qinruo, the leader of the Compromise faction who was denounced by Kou Zhun as "beheading for crimes", hated Kou Zhun even more. As soon as he returned to the East Palace, Wang Qinruo began to plot against Kou Zhun.

When Kou Zhun was the prime minister, he did not care about family status in selecting talents, and he liked to hire people from poor backgrounds but with real talents.

Yushitai is an institution that criticizes the gains and losses of the government. Whenever there is a vacancy in Yushitai officials, he will let someone who is usually critical.

In this way, he became a thorn in the side of Wang Qinruo and others. Under the attack of Wang Qinruo and his gang, Kou Zhun was dismissed from his post in February of the third year of Jingde and went to Shanzhou to be a prefect.

Kou Zhun left Tokyo and worked as a local official in Henan, Shaanxi and other places for many years. The situation changed in the third year of Tianxi, and Ding Wei took the initiative to invite Kou Zhun to return to the court and become prime minister again.

After Song Zhenzong got rheumatism, Empress Liu took part in the government and asked Ding Wei about everything. Ding Wei wronged the country. Senior officials such as Kou Zhun, Wang Dan, and Xiang Minzhong all suggested that honest and upright ministers should be selected to assist the prince to supervise the country.

Kou Zhun asked Yang Yi to secretly draft the imperial edict for the prince to supervise the country, and planned to assist the government with Yang Yi.

Empress Liu is from Sichuan, and her natal family violated the law. Song Zhenzong issued an edict to pardon her for Empress Liu's face.

Kou Zhun resolutely opposed it, thinking that it must be dealt with according to the laws of the country. For this matter, Empress Liu and Kou Zhun formed a grudge.

Unexpectedly, the conspiracy between Kou Zhun and Yang Yi to be supervised by the crown prince was leaked by Zhang Yan, Yang Yi's brother-in-law after drinking.

At this juncture, the eunuch Zhou Huaizheng, who had a personal grievance with Ding Wei, contacted his party in an attempt to launch a coup, behead Ding Wei, reinstate Kou Zhun, respect Song Zhenzong as the Supreme Emperor, and support the crown prince on the throne.

This matter was betrayed by Yang Chongxun, the envoy of the Hakka province. Ding Wei disguised himself and rode in a bullock cart overnight to discuss countermeasures. Ding Wei and Cao Li sent troops to surround Zhou Huaizheng's residence. Zhou Huaizheng committed suicide after being captured.

Ding Wei wanted to take the opportunity to put Kou Zhun to death, so he falsely accused Kou Zhun of participating in the conspiracy. Although Kou Zhun was not charged with a capital crime, he was dismissed again and was expelled from the capital.

Kou Zhun was demoted, it is said that Ding Wei and others did it behind Song Zhenzong's back. After Kou Zhun was dismissed again, Ding Wei became prime minister and demoted Kou Zhun again and again.

In the first year of Qianxing, Kou Zhun left Daozhou with grievances and went to Leizhou on the southern coast.

In September of the first year of Tiansheng, Kou Zhun died of illness on a bamboo couch in Leizhou.

However, due to the limited funds allocated, the coffin was transported halfway, and the money was used up, so it had to be buried in Gong County, Luoyang.

In November of the second year of Mingdao, Renzong restored Kou Zhun to the positions of Prince Taifu and Lai Guogong for Kou Zhun Zhaoxue.

In the first year of Emperor You's reign, Renzong ordered Sun Yan, a Hanlin scholar, to write the "Stele of Kou Zhongmin Gong Jingzhong in Lai Kingdom" for Kou Zhun, and wrote the word "Jingzhong" on the head of the stele himself.

Kou Zhun's main achievement was that when the Liao army was besieged, he urged Song Zhenzong to conquer himself and repelled the attack of the Liao Dynasty.
