When Shen Xin was assassinated, Guo Hao asked the Ministry of Justice to investigate. After Li Hui's suggestion, the Ministry of Justice finally positioned the murderer as the person who assassinated Guo Hao.

The court settled the case on the surface, but Guo Hao secretly did not stop investigating. This assassination was probably the instructor of the palace, which is what Guo Hao least wanted to see.

In the eyes of outsiders, there is no need to mobilize all troops when Shen Xin was assassinated. After all, the princess Shen Xin was also enthroned and has no blood relationship with Guo Hao.

Guo Hao was furious in order to make the royal majesty so that others could know that Shen Xin was extraordinary. Only his family knew Shen Xin's secret, but outsiders did not.

After several days of recuperation, Shen Xin was able to walk on the ground. Her appearance looked no different from ordinary people, and Shen Xin herself did not feel abnormal.

"I said to Emperor, when will I be able to leave the palace? It's really boring here. I can't do anything here. You'd better let me go back to the Geju Academy!"

Guo Hao was worried about Shen Xin's health, so he took her into the palace to recuperate her. This girl had a good mentality and could still be so lively when she almost died.

"You are in good health, so it's better to observe for a few more days. Anyway, those projects have already begun, so it's okay to take a two-day rest."

Shen Xin was in the palace and had no topics with others. Guo Hao was busy with state affairs, so Shen Xin naturally felt bored.

It took him three years to train the people in the Geju Academy. In fact, she, the princess, had no airs, and her assistants respected her very much.

"Hey, I really want to go back. Whenever I'm bored, I miss my phone, computer Aipide, and watch TV with air conditioning. It's really enjoyable to think about it."

After seeing the technology of later generations, they really look down on these technologies in ancient times. The reason why the two of them worked hard to develop technology was to find a modern feeling.

Now the electric lights are made, but they have taken a lot of effort and cannot be copied on a large scale, so many technologies are immature.

The technology of the Song Dynasty is now in a state of uncertainty, and all technologies have begun, but if we get results, it will take time.

Guo Hao had no choice but to do this. He was not a god. It took hundreds of years in modern times to push technology to the height of future generations.

Even if the Song Dynasty continued to develop steadily, it would probably take one or two hundred years to reach the level of the 20th century.

If you encounter bottlenecks in the process, it may take more time.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually became colder.

The situation in the northwest gradually calmed down. Although the Liao Kingdom was unwilling to give up, there was no way.

After the Hexi Corridor stabilized, Guo Hao sent an envoy to Gaochang. He wanted to try to use diplomatic means to make Gaochang surrender, so that the Song Dynasty would not have to send troops.

The territory of the Song Dynasty along the way was much more difficult for the envoys to go on missions than Su Wu back then, but as winter was about to come, Guo Hao decided to send an envoy again in the spring next year.

...

After the twelfth lunar month, Guo Hao issued an order to change the era again. At this time, the Song Dynasty looked at it on the map, which looked like a dragon head. The Hexi Corridor and Liaodong were two corners, so the era was changed to the era Longxing.

The first year of Longxing in the Song Dynasty, the tenth year of Baoning in the Liao Dynasty, the first month.

Yelu Xianzhi, the Hanlin Bachelor's Office, had a reasonable opera talent, and was renamed as deputy governor of Nanjing, and was sentenced to a prison sentence and was transferred to the Chief Secretary for Political Affairs.

Then he was appointed as the Privy Councilor, and was also the prime minister of the Northern Prefecture, and was appointed as the Minister of Political Affairs.

The Song Dynasty occupied Liaodong and Hexi, and was essentially not controlled by the Liao Kingdom. Except for some of the mature Jurchens, the rest of the Jurchens were actually independent, but they were surrounded by the Liao Kingdom.

Although small countries such as the Ganzhou Uighurs and Tubo are dependent on the Liao Kingdom, they are also independent. The real territory of the Liao Kingdom is actually the existing territory.

Therefore, Guo Hao occupied two pieces of territory, and the Liao Kingdom accepted it after thinking about it. The Khitan nobles actually didn't care.

Even if the emperor cares, what can it do? It can't be robbed and cannot be beaten, and it can't be beaten. As long as the Song Dynasty doesn't come to provoke them, it doesn't matter other places.

For a time, the atmosphere of the Liao Kingdom changed, and Guo Hao's two large-scale military operations in the north and south severely damaged the morale of the Liao Kingdom.

Since the Five Dynasties, the Central Plains have regarded the Khitan as a beast, and they have some fear in their hearts and have never wanted to provoke them.

However, after Guo Hao ascended the throne, he did not take the Liao Kingdom seriously at all. As the saying goes, he despises the enemy strategically and attaches importance to the enemy tactically.

Guo Hao knew that Liao Kingdom was powerful and he couldn't beat him, but the price after the fight was not ignored.

If Guo Hao did not eliminate those hidden dangers and directly attacked the Liao Kingdom with the power of the Central Plains, both the Jurchens in the northeast and the Qiang people in the northwest might take advantage of the situation to rob.

When two tigers fight, they will definitely suffer losses, and when the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman will eventually benefit.

Even if there are no external hidden dangers, the suffering brought to the people by war cannot be ignored. If the price paid is too high, there will be many uncertain factors within the Central Plains.

Guo Hao didn't want to make wedding dresses for others, so he has always avoided large-scale conflicts with the Liao Kingdom, because the strength of the two countries has increased, and the upper limit of scale is also increasing.

This time, the northwest was recovered, and the Song and Liao countries in Lingzhou were fighting for a while. The Liao Kingdom wanted to organize the Song Dynasty to recover the northwest, but the Song Dynasty's purpose was very simple, to stop the Liao army.

As it turns out, Guo Hao's guess is correct. The Liao Kingdom dared not invest too much military force because it involved too many benefits, and the Khitan nobles did not care about the Tubo slaves.

The northeastern side was even more bluffing. Cao Bin's navy did not show up. The Liao army withdrew its troops after a few symbolic attacks.

Without threatening the core interests of the Khitan, those Khitan nobles would not fight desperately. In addition, the Jurchens gave up their territory to the north, so they were just as a matter of time.

The Liao Kingdom accepted the reality and failed to stop the expansion of the Song Dynasty. Guo Hao defeated it one by one, and did not intend to let go of any of the declining regimes on the land of China.

In February, after discussing with the cabinet, Guo Hao felt that the existing academies were still not enough, so he decided to build high-level academies in each province and name them universities.

In this way, kindergartens and universities are private educational institutions, and the original academies were upgraded to Imperial College.

This policy brought the education system of the Song Dynasty closer to later generations. Young school is primary and middle schools, universities is universities, and Taixue is at the research institute level.

After improving the education system, Guo Hao decided to build a branch of the Military Academy in Youzhou. Such two military academies were enough to provide military talents for the Song Dynasty.

There has been a period of time in the construction of Youzhou, and Guo Hao has not visited it. The weather in the north is cold and construction cannot be carried out in winter, so Guo Hao plans to start construction in March and go to Youzhou to check it out.

On the first day of March, Bianliang City was very lively.

First, the mission to the Western Regions set out, and Guo Hao led the princes to see him off.

The envoy Zhang Shi was a young talented person and was well-versed in the tombs. He was appointed as a Jinshi in the Southern Tang Dynasty. He started his career as a Shangyuanwei and was promoted to the Minister of Rites. He was appointed as the Minister of Rites and was the Director of the Ministry of Rites. Later, he surrendered to the Song Dynasty and served in the Ministry of Rites.

"Zhang Aiqing, this time you are on the mission, representing the Song Dynasty. A weak country has no diplomacy. The one standing behind you are millions of soldiers and people of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Shi was a little moved at this time. Although this trip would be dangerous, it could represent the mission of the Song Dynasty and be comparable to the national hero Su Wu. This is the highest honor of a literati.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission!"

Guo Hao patted his shoulder and handed him the envoy himself, and Zhang Wei took it with both hands.

Guo Hao did this in fact, in order to follow Emperor Wu of Han. When Su Wu went to the Western Regions, he made the Western Regions surrender and expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Guo Hao's scene is now reappearing, just like Emperor Wu of Han, expressing his importance to this mission while conveying a message to Gaochang State. You'd better not resist.

After the envoys set off, Guo Hao had to send another person away, the second prince Guo Zhishun.

"Shun'er, this time I go to Nanjing, be careful along the way, come back to see your mother when you have time, and also ensure your health."

Guo Zhishun nodded, Guo Hao asked him to go to Jinling to preside over the political affairs of the South, but in fact he had already placed him in the second line.

Although Guo Hao wanted to move the capital to Youzhou, Bianliang was still the center of power in the Song Dynasty.

"If you hold this token, it may help you."

As he said that, Guo Hao handed Guo Zhishun a token, which was the token of the Beggars' Sect. Although Guo Zhishun is his and Li Fu's son, Guo Hao never let him contact the Beggars' Sect.

The reason why I gave him the token this time was that I hope he could open up the situation as soon as possible. The bigger the country, the harder it would be to govern. Instead of letting him form his own forces, it would be better to lend him the Beggars' Gang.

"Thank you, Father!"

Seeing this token, Guo Zhishun was a little surprised. In fact, he had wanted to take over the Beggars' Sect for a long time. Without Guo Hao's permission, Li Fu dared not make decisions without authorization.
