Once, Zhao Kuangyin asked, "What is the biggest thing in the world?" Zhao Pu did not answer immediately, his mind was thinking quickly. He thought, of course, it could not be something tangible. So, should we say, as parents the greatest or the emperor's imperial power? Before Zhao Pu could consider the answer, Zhao Kuangyin asked again, "What is the world bigger than other objects?"

Zhao Pu thought for a while and replied, "The world's most rationality." Zhao Kuangyin immediately applauded and praised, "Yes, yes, you said it right! The truth is something that everyone must abide by. Even if I am the emperor, I must obey the truth. Your answer was wonderful."

Zhao Guangyi trusted the slandered ministers, and rejected and alienated Cao Bin. Zhao Pu tried his best to explain Cao Bin, which made Zhao Guangyi change his mind. However, Zhao Tingmei's injustice was composed of Zhao Pu alone. At that time, many people secretly blamed Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu had several sons. Zhao Chengzong was the general of Yulin and served as the governor of Tan and Yun. His political reputation was good. Zhao Chengxu was the envoy of Chengzhou Tuanjian. He also had two daughters, both of whom were at the age of getting married, but they all vowed not to get married. After burying Zhao Pu, he asked to cut his hair into a nun. Zhao Guangyi repeatedly persuaded him, but he could not change their feelings. So he gave his eldest daughter the name of Master Zhiguo, his second daughter was Zhiying, and his name was Master Zhiyuan. The two girls built their own family temples and served as Buddha for life. Zhao had these two daughters, and his father was much better. In the early years of Emperor Xianping, Zhenzong posthumously named Zhao Pu as King of Han.

After Zhao Pu was dismissed from prime minister, Zhao Guangyi used Zhang Qixian, Chen Shu, and Wang Mian as the chief political affairs, Zhang Xun, Wen Zhongshu and Kou Zhun as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Lu Mengzheng was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and most of the political affairs were dominated by Wang Mian. Wang Mian and Zhang Qixian were in charge of the Privy Council political affairs, and the two were very disagreeable. Chen Shu liked to be obsessed with others and was also disagreeable with Wang Mian. Zhang Qixian and Chen Shu were appointed as the chief political affairs, and Wang Mian was very uneasy, worried that someone among his subordinates told Zhang Qixian and others about the old story of the Secretariat.

Just as the Left Secretary Wang Yuxi said, "From now on, the Prime Minister and the Privy Councilor are not allowed to meet in this hall, and are allowed to welcome them in the capital hall." Wang Mian was happy and submitted a memorial to implement it. Xie Mi of the Zhishi Museum believed that this was a suspicion of the ministers' personalities and submitted a memorial to refute it. Zhao Guangyi recovered the previous imperial edict, and Wang Mian and Chen Shu were dismissed from prime minister because of this. The next day, Lu Mengzheng was also dismissed from prime minister. Wang Mian met Zhao Guangyi and cried and refused to leave. Soon, his hair and beard turned white. Someone reported to slander him. Zhao Guangyi said to the slanderer: "Lu Mengzheng has the body of a minister, and Wang Mian is very smart and intelligent." The slanderer gave up ashamed.

Zhao Guangyi planned to adjust and clean up officials, and ordered Wang Mian, Xie Mi and Wang Zhonghua to co-chair the Beijing-Chongqing official examination class. Wang Mian said that he would commit the law in front of the Beijing-Chongqing official hall and ordered the criminal part to be reported, and he divided into three levels of corruption and public and private crimes. He was harsh in legislation and wanted to be used to reuse it. Wang Mian was smart and quick in debate and had timely use. He could speak in front of Zhao Guangyi and could make a tactful statement. Every time he read Zhao Guangyi's poems and thoracic voices, he was very clear and clear, and he had read the top few of them.

But he was harsh by nature and lacked integrity. When he was in charge of the Privy Council, anyone who asked to see him must have been overjoyed by him for good words. Later, he did not do as he advanced and retreated, and people resented him.

Lu Meng is from Henan, and his father Lu Guitu was once a living man. His father and his wife Liu were in a disagreement, so he drove his wife and son out of the house. Lu Mengzheng temporarily lived in an ancient temple and was once teased by monks. The previous rule in the temple was that when eating, the bell would be ringing. The monks did not want to

He asked him to have a meal. So after they finished eating, they went to ring the bell. After Lu Mengzheng and Guixian, they did not complain, but instead gave the monks a lot of rewards.

After Lu Mengzheng's parents passed away, he had to participate in politics. A courtier pointed at him and said, "Can this person be a member of politics?" Lu Mengzheng pretended not to hear it and passed by calmly. His colleague was indignant and wanted to ask the person's name. Lu Mengzheng shook his hand and forbiddenly and said, "No, no. If you know the name, you will not forget it for your life. It would be better not to know it." The colleagues were very impressed.

Kou Zhun's courtesy name was Pingzhong, and was from Xiaji, Huazhou. Kou Zhun came from a prominent family. His father Kou Xiang passed the Jinshi Class of the First Class during the Kaiyun period of the Later Jin Dynasty and served as the military officer of the King of Wei. Because of his repeated achievements, he was named Duke of the State and was posthumously awarded the title of official position to the Grand Secretary Ling. Kou Zhun was talented, diligent and studious, and had already written many good poems at the age of fourteen.

In the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo, Kou Zhun was 19 years old and passed the imperial examination. Zhao Guangyi selected Jinshi, and young people were often not hired. Some people were taught to increase Kou Zhun's age. Kou Zhun said, "I'm just about to embark on the career of officialdom, how can I deceive Your Majesty?" Later, he was appointed as the judge of Dali and sent to Badong, Guizhou as the magistrate. He was successively promoted to the judge of Yantik, the doctor of the Shangshu Yu Department, and the direct scholar of the Privy Council.

Kou Zhun once reported to the palace and made bold suggestions. Because of his unpleasant words, Zhao Guangyi couldn't listen. He left the dragon throne angrily and wanted to return to the inner palace. But Kou Zhun grabbed Zhao Guangyi's robe and advised him to sit back again. He finished his words. Zhao Guangyi admired Kou Zhun very much and said happily: "I got Kou Zhun, just like Emperor Taizong of Tang got Wei Zheng." Kou Zhun was famous among the ministers for being upright and wise.

In the early years of Chunhua, the court handled two bribery cases. Wang Huai, who was seriously involved in the stolen money, was only dismissed from his post and soon resumed his original position. Zu Ji, who was less likely to be sentenced to death. Kou Zhun knew that this was Wang Huai's brother and was involved in the political affairs of Wang Mian, and he was indignant.

The following year, a severe drought occurred. Zhao Guangyi summoned his close ministers to inquire about the gains and losses of current affairs. The ministers believed that it was caused by the number of days. Kou Jue said: "The relationship between heaven and man is like shadows and echoes. The severe drought is because of unfair punishment." Zhao Guangyi was very angry and stood up and returned to the palace. After a while, Kou Zhun was summoned to inquire about the unfair punishment.

Kou Zhun said, "I hope to summon the officials of the two governments, so I will say." Zhao Guangyi immediately ordered the officials of the two governments to be summoned. Kou Zhun said, "Not long ago, Zuji and Wang Huai both violated the law and accepted bribes. Zuji received less bribes but was beheaded. Wang Huai was the younger brother of Wang Mian, who accepted tens of millions of dollars and was punished only by sticks, and his official position was restored. Isn't this unfair, what is it?"

Zhao Guangyi asked Wang Mian, who kowtowed and apologized. So Zhao Guangyi severely criticized Wang Mian and knew that Kou Jun was suitable for it. He immediately appointed Kou Zhun as the left counselor, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and served as the chief minister, and began to directly participate in the military and national affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty court.

In the fourth year of Chunhua, King Xiaobo of Qingshen was in rebellion. Zhao Guangyi dispatched troops and marched westward. It turned out that Qingshen was a county in Western Shu. Shu was destroyed by the Song Dynasty and all the treasury accumulated by the treasury were transported to Bianjing. The officials were very happy with merits and often collected additional charges and demanded demands from the people. Qi Yuanzhen, the magistrate of Qingshen County, was particularly greedy and dedicated to the people, resulting in complaints and hatred from the military and civilians.

The local tycoon Wang Xiaobo took the opportunity to gather people and rose up and said to everyone: "The poor and the rich are very uneven and hateful! I

The matter started today, not just to compete for the city and land, but to equalize the rich and poor." When the poor heard this, they naturally welcomed them. Within a few days, ten thousand people gathered.

Wang Xiaobo then led his troops to attack the county town, captured Qi Yuanzhen, accused him of the crime, cut him into the stomach and heart, and used money to enter, and announced his crime. Since then, he passed by Pengshan and received a response. Zhang Guo, the inspector of Xichuan Metropolitan City, dispatched troops to fight. In the Jiangyuan battle, the officers and soldiers shot Wang Xiaobo's left eye, and the rebels were defeated.

Zhang Guo was victorious and proud and complacent, so he was not wary at night. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by Wang Xiaobo and rushed in a mess. Innumerable officers and soldiers were killed, and Zhang Guo was also killed. Wang Xiaobo died soon because his eyes were aggravated. The rebels elected Wang Xiaobo's wife Li Shun as the commander and continued to attack the nearby states. They quickly captured the Qiongzhou Army and already had hundreds of thousands of troops.

The following year, Li Shun captured Han and Peng Zhuzhou again and took advantage of the victory to attack Chengdu. The transferee Fan Zhigu, the prefect Guo Zai and his subordinates could not resist, so they abandoned the city and fled to Zizhou. Li Shun then entered the city, claimed to be the King of Great Shu, and sent his subordinates to attack everywhere, and the two rivers were shattered.

At this time, Li Fang, Jia Huangzhong, Li Han, and Wen Zhongshu had all been removed from office and replaced by Su Yijian and Zhao Changyan as the head of state affairs. Because the rebels in Shu were full of energy, Zhao Guangyi convened court officials to discuss. Someone asked to send ministers to Sichuan to appease him, and Zhao Guangyi also intended to agree.

Zhao Changyan resolutely opposed it and said, "A clown dares to get troops. If he does not send a large army to attack, how can he purify the power of heaven? It is difficult to make a breakthrough, so he should go forward and suppress it quickly." Zhao Guangyi then ordered the eunuch Wang Jien to recruit envoys from both rivers and lead troops to pacify the rebels. Lei Youzhong was the Shaanxi Transportation Envoy and manage the money. Before Wang Jien and others entered Sichuan, Li Shun had sent his general Yang Guang to lead tens of thousands of troops to Jianmen.

Shangguan Zheng, the chief supervisor, had only hundreds of exhausted soldiers under his command. Shangguan Zheng encouraged them with loyalty and climbed to the city to defend. Yang Guang had been besieged for three days and was all repelled. It happened that Su Han, the chief supervisor of Chengdu, led his troops to help and fought with Yang Guang at the city.

Shangguan saw it at the top of the city and hurriedly led hundreds of cavalry out of the city, shouting to kill the thief, and raising the blade to take the lead, and killing it back and forth, but the sharp ones were not allowed. The rebels were invincible. Under the front and back of the official army, the rebels were almost wiped out, leaving only more than 300 remaining soldiers, and rushed back to Chengdu. Li Shun angrily blamed Yang Guang, saying that he had shattered his aura, tied up and beheaded, and killed all 300 people. This resulted in many subordinates being dissatisfied and gradually becoming disinterested.

Li Shun sent his generals to lead the troops to attack Jianmen. At that time, Wang Jien had already left the army from Jianmen and came to Yanshizhai, killed the rebels, beheaded at level 500, crossed Qingjiangling, pacified Jianzhou, attacked Liuchiyi, and defeated the rebels. When Li Shun heard that the northern road had failed, he turned to attack the western road, so he drove the people to besiege Zizhou.

When Zhang Yong, the governor of Zizhou, heard that Wang Xiaobo was rebelling, he immediately recruited and trained his soldiers to prepare for defending the city. At the same time, he repaired the city walls, dug ditches and moats, prepared food, and waited for the rebels to arrive. Sure enough, not long after, the rebels arrived, with almost more than 100,000 troops and attacked the city. Zhang Yong led the three thousand trained troops to defend with all his strength, so that the enemy had no chance to take advantage of it.

After more than two months of stalemate, the enemy was exhausted, but the guards still had their own courage. Wang Ji'en also sent soldiers to reinforce. Li Shun knew that he could not conquer, so he had to lead his army to retreat.
