Zhao Kuangyin gave Cao Bin a very generous reward. Cao Bin went into the palace to express gratitude and said, "All the generals were convicted. I dare not accept the orders." Zhao Kuangyin said, "You have made great contributions but do not boast about merits. Punishment and persuasion are common laws of the country, so there is no need to be humble." At the beginning, Chen Yilun was appointed as the Sichuan Transportation Army as a great soldier, and lived alone in a Buddhist temple. He had always had simple food and rice, and he refused those who offered precious and strange food. When he returned to Beijing, there were only a few volumes of books in the box. Zhao Kuangyin once asked Cao Bin about the good and bad of the officials. Cao Bin said: "I am only supervising the military. As for inspecting officials, it is not within the scope of my position." Zhao Kuangyin asked repeatedly, and then Cao Bin said: "Chen Yilun is available." Zhao Kuangyin praised it greatly, so he appointed Chen Yilun as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor.

After Meng Chang entered the capital, Zhao Kuangyin heard that Meng Chang's concubine, Mrs. Huarui, was extremely beautiful, so he wanted to meet him very much. But there was no reason to summon him especially, so he had to use the name of reward to not come to the palace to thank him. Meng Chang's mother Li took Meng Chang's wife and concubine to the palace to thank him. Mrs. Huarui was of course also among them. Zhao Kuangyin passed on one by one. When Mrs. Huarui was greeted, she had just arrived in front of Zhao Kuangyin's seat, and Zhao Kuangyin felt a strange fragrance and pounced on her nose.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Mrs. Huarui carefully and saw that the sky was indeed a natural beauty and extraordinary beauty. When she bent down and bowed, she seemed to be the willows facing the wind, graceful and graceful. But when she heard Mrs. Huarui's sweet words, "I am Xu, I wish the emperor a long life without a limit!" Although these two sentences are ordinary, they came from Mrs. Huarui's mouth, and she felt that the pearl throat was spinning, like an oriole singing.

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed and immediately sent an order to get up. He ordered her to sit next to her with Meng Chang's mother Li. Meng Chang's mother asked to visit the Six Palaces, and the palace maids were led by her. Mrs. Huarui and others also wanted to go there. After a while, Zhao Kuangyin saw them come out and said goodbye. Zhao Kuangyin called Meng Chang's mother the mother of the country and told her that she could enter the palace at any time. Meng Chang's mother retreated with a slouch.

Zhao Kuangyin turned his eyes and stared at Mrs. Huarui. Mrs. Huarui also noticed it. She glanced at Zhao Kuangyin and then turned around. Because of this dark autumn, the wise and martial Emperor of Song Dynasty was distracted and almost forgot to sleep and eat. Zhao Kuangyin's follower Wang died in the first year of Gande. Although there were many concubines in the six palaces, they were all just ordinary appearances. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was choosing a queen, but he met this beautiful beauty who was so charming. How could he let go of it? But he had no choice but to have a husband and was embarrassed to take it away. Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for several days and finally came up with a good idea.

One night, Zhao Kuangyin summoned Meng Chang to a banquet. When Meng Chang was drunk, she went back. The next day, Meng Chang was sick. Although he asked the imperial physician to treat him, it was ineffective. A few days later, Meng Chang died immediately. Zhao Kuangyin stopped court for five days, and even wore plain clothes and mourned them. He gave them a thousand pieces of cloth. The funeral expenses were provided by the officials, and Meng Chang was posthumously named King of Chu. Meng Chang's mother, Li, often came to the palace under the orders. Every time he met Zhao Kuangyin, he always had a sad expression.

Zhao Kuangyin said, "The mother of the country should love herself, and don't be sad and sad. If you think it is inconvenient to be in Beijing, you can send you back in a few days." Li asked, "Where will I send my concubine back?" Zhao Kuangyin replied, sending her back to Shu. Li said, "I was originally from Taiyuan. If I could return to Bingzhou to retire, I would be the only one who could be the first to do so.

It is my wish, and I should be grateful." Zhao Kuangyin said happily: "Bingzhou is now occupied by the Northern Han Dynasty. When I pacify Liu Jun in the future, I will definitely do what you wish." Li thanked him.

After Meng Chang died, Li did not cry, but just gave the land with wine, saying, "You can't die for the country. You are greedy for life. I can't bear to die because you are still alive. Now that you are dead, why should I live again?" So she went on a hunger strike for several days and died. Zhao Kuangyin ordered the Minister of Rites Fan Yuxi to take care of the funeral and buried him in Luoyang with Meng Chang. After the funeral, Meng Chang's family returned to the capital and were forced to enter the palace to thank him.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw Mrs. Huarui, she looked even more charming. So Zhao Kuangyin kept her in the palace that night and forced her to serve the banquet. Mrs. Huarui had no choice but to follow her orders. After drinking a few cups, Mrs. Huarui's face turned red. Zhao Kuangyin loved her more and more, so he simply hugged her in the tent and had fun all night without any further explanation.

The next day, Zhao Kuangyin enthroned Mrs. Huarui as his concubine. Mrs. Huarui was originally the daughter of Xu Kuangzhang, nicknamed Huarui. She was originally very dear to Meng Chang, but this time she was forced to endure the rain and dew, and always thought of Meng Chang. So she personally painted the statue of Chang, offering sacrifices to Zhang Xian, and only asked to say that she was offering sacrifices to Zhang Xian, and prayed to him that she could have a son. A group of concubines in the palace wanted to give birth to a boy and hugged her, so they still asked for painting, and the fragrant flowers bowed.

After Zhao Kuangyin got Mrs. Huarui, he treated her as a treasure. Whenever he retired from court, he flirted with Mrs. Huarui. Mrs. Huarui was a natural beauty who could not only paint, but also write poems. Zhao Kuangyin once asked her to chant Shu, and she was able to write a seven-character poem immediately. Two of them were the most sad and rumored for a while. This poem is: "Where did I know that the king was in the deep palace? 140,000 people were all lifted, but not one of them was a man." After reading it, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but praise him, and praised him: "You are really a beautiful mouth."

When Meng Chang first arrived in Bianjing, Zhao Kuangyin gave him five hundred newly built buildings, all the tents were all included, so that he could live in peace. When Meng Chang and his mother Li died one after another, Mrs. Huarui had already entered the palace, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the things from Meng's house to be taken back to the palace. The soldiers followed the orders and took back the drowning tools used by Meng Chang. This drowning tools were made of seven treasures, which were extremely exquisite. The soldiers were surprised, so they took them into the palace.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw this, he sighed, "This is a drowning weapon, but it is made of seven treasures. What should I use to store food? It's so extravagant, so why not die!" He ordered people to smash it and turn it into several pieces with a thud. He also saw the makeup mirror used by Mrs. Huarui, which had five words "Casted in the Fourth Year of Qiande" on the back. He was surprised and said, "I have changed the era before and ordered all ministers to not be inherited from the old age. Why are there two words "Chief of Qiande on the mirror?" Mrs. Huarui forgot for a moment and had no way to answer.

Zhao Kuangyin then summoned all the ministers to ask, but none of them knew about it. Only the Hanlin scholar Dou Yi said, "The Lord of Shu, Wang Yan, once had this year's title." Zhao Kuangyin said happily: "No wonder there is the word "the mirror". The mirror is a Shu object. It should be recorded in the Shu year. The prime minister must use scholars. You have indeed possessed the talent of the prime minister." Dou Yi thanked the award and retired. Since then, the ministers at the court said that Dou Yi was about to become prime minister. Even Zhao Kuangyin had this intention, so he discussed it with Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu replied: "Mr. Dou has enough literature and art, but his economy is insufficient." Zhao Kuangyin said silently. After Dou Yi heard this, he thought that Zhao Pu was jealous of his talents.

He felt unhappy and couldn't afford to get sick. He died soon after, Zhao Kuangyin felt very sorry.

Besides, when Western Shu was pacified, Zhao Kuangyin decided to change the name of Gande and wanted to make Lady Huarui the queen, and discussed with Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu said: "The favorite concubine of a country that was destroyed is not enough to be the mother of the world. She should choose another lady and mother to treat the world." Zhao Kuangyin said: "The eldest daughter of the General of the Left Guard, Song Wei, has both good deeds and good deeds. Do you think she can make the queen?" Zhao Pu said: "Your Majesty's holy scripture, I will definitely not be bad." Zhao Kuangyin decided to make Song Wei's daughter the queen.

When Song Wei's daughter was young, she followed her mother to celebrate the Spring Festival, which was Zhao Kuangyin's birthday. When Zhao Kuangyin saw her as petite as a flower, she was cute. After four years, she summoned her again and immediately gave her a crown and robe. The woman was in her 28th year of age, and she was in her prime. She looked very beautiful and had a gentle temperament. When she entered Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, she remembered it in her heart. She was only because Mrs. Huarui was favored by the harem, so she was put aside.

This time, except for Mrs. Huarui, there was only the daughter of the Song family, which made him unable to forget his feelings. Zhao Kuangyin then informed Song Wei to summon his eldest daughter to the palace. Song Wei naturally followed the order and immediately sent his daughter to the palace. In the fifth year of Gande, an imperial edict changed the Yuan Dynasty to Kaibao. In February of the first year of Kaibao, the Grand Historian chose the good date and appointed Song as the queen. At this time, Song's family was seventeen years old, and Zhao Kuangyin was already forty-two years old. When the old man got a young wife, he naturally increased his love.

Song was very gentle. Whenever Zhao Kuangyin retired from the court, he would dress up and wait for him to pick him up. All the imperial food was inspected by him and sat beside him to serve him, so he was even more pleased by Zhao Kuangyin. As the saying goes, "A infatuated woman is unfaithful to the man." Mrs. Huarui had hope of becoming a queen, but was taken away by the daughter of Song. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin's love was also transferred to Ms. Song. Mrs. Huarui became resentful because of grief and became sick because of resentment. She ended up falling in the water and falling in the flowers and her jade died. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but burst into tears and ordered her to be buried with the imperial concubine's ceremony. Later, the situation changed and she gradually forgot about it.

At this time, we received news from the north that the Northern Han lord Liu Jun died of illness and his adopted son Liu Jien succeeded to the throne. Zhao Kuangyin thought there was a gap, so he ordered Li Jixun, the governor of Zhaohua Army, to lead the army to the north. Li Jixun's troops went to Tongguohe, defeated the Han soldiers, and prepared to attack Taiyuan. Liu Jien, the Northern Han lord, hurriedly sent envoys to ask for help from the Liao Kingdom. Sikong Guo Wuwei had a rift with Liu Jien, and actually secretly instructed the envoy to entrust the official Barong, stabbed Liu Jien to death, and established Liu Jien's younger brother Liu Jiyuan. Taiyuan was in great chaos.

When Zhao Kuangyin learned about the situation in the Northern Han Dynasty, he urged Li Jixun to advance troops, and sent someone to carry an edict to order the Northern Han lord to surrender, intending to grant Liu Jiyuan the Jiedushi of Pinglu, and Guo Wuwei was appointed as the Jiedushi of Xingzhou. After receiving the edict, Guo Wuwei wanted to surrender, but Liu Jiyuan refused. The Liao lord Wulu sent troops to rescue the Han Dynasty. Li Jixun was worried that the alone army would advance lightly and instead suffered a crisis, so he withdrew his troops to the south.

The Northern Han soldiers combined with the Liao soldiers to attack Jin and Jiang states and plundered back. After Zhao Kuangyin learned about it, he was furious and ordered his personal expedition. Zhao Kuangyin ordered his younger brother Zhao Guangyi to stay in Tokyo and personally lead the troops to attack Taiyuan. After siege for three months, he could still capture it. Liu Jiye, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty, who was Yang Ye and Yang Linggong, was able to fight and defend, causing Song general Shi Hanqing and others to be killed. The Liao Kingdom sent troops to support him. Li Guangzan, the doctor of Song Taichang, so he advised Zhao Kuangyin to return to the court.
