Privy Councilor Wen Yanbo and Deputy Envoy Wu Chong submitted a memorial saying that the law of protecting horses was inconvenient to be implemented, and Zhao Xu ignored them. Privy Councilor Li Ping also followed the edict to slander the law of exemption from service and reported to attack Anshi. Wang Anshi said that he was a virtuous person and had to punish him. Although Zhao Xu agreed, he did not issue an edict for a long time. The judge of Lizhou Xianyu wrote a letter to discuss current affairs and secretly attacked Wang Anshi. Zhao Xu actually promoted him to the deputy envoy of transshipment.

Wang Anshi went to ask Zhao Xu, but Zhao Xu said, "Shen Yuyi is good at literature, so he has improved the situation." He also showed the original memorial, but Wang Anshi had no choice. Lizhou did not ask for Qingmiao money, so Wang Anshi sent someone to ask, but Xian Yuyi praised, "How can people force their loans?" Seeing that the new law could not be implemented, Wang Anshi reported Zhao Xu and was willing to make an external remark. Zhao Xu said, "Since ancient times, there were very few monarchs and ministers, like you and me, who know each other. I was originally despicable and lacked knowledge. Since you entered the Hanlin area, you have learned about moral and academics and have a little heart. If you have just got a clue about something big today, why did you leave?" Wang Anshi still resigned.

Zhao Xu said again: "You are not disgusted with me because of Li Pingshi? I have appointed you as the master to write an imperial edict and entrust you with major affairs in the world. For example, Lu Huibi compares you to Shao Zhengmao and Lu Qi, I don't believe you. Besides, who dares to deceive me?" Wang Anshi withdrew. The next day, he submitted a request again. Zhao Xu didn't even look at it, so he returned the original form and ordered him to take office.

Wang Anshi took the matter as usual, so he discussed opening the border and advanced three ways. One way was to recruit Dongman, and Zhang Dun, the chief clerk of the Secretariat, was appointed as the inspector of Hubei, and to manage the barbarians. One way was to recruit Luyi, and ordered Kumamoto, the chief magistrate of Rongzhou, to be the inspector of Zikui, to deal with the affairs of the barbarians. The other way was to recruit Wang Shao, the sanction of Taohe, to recruit Western Qiang, and to advance to the Tubo tribes. Among these three ways, only the Qiang people were cunning and fierce, which was not easy to conquer.

Zhang Dun, whose courtesy name was Zihou and his nickname was Dadiweng. He was from Pucheng, Jianning Army. He was the son of Zhang Yu, the Yinqing Guanglu Dafu. In the second year of Jingyou, Zhang Dun was born in a family of officials in Pucheng. His father Zhang Yu was appointed as the Yinqing Guanglu Dafu. When Zhang Dun was young, his father Zhang Dexiang was surprised by Zhang Dun's temperament and character, and believed that Zhang Dun had a certain superior position in the future.

Zhang Dun was generous, handsome, elegant and free-spirited. He was talented and knowledgeable. He was good at writing articles and had super talent. When he was young, he liked cultivation, accepted the spirit of fasting, and was drifting with immortality. Zhang Dun and Zhang Dun were introduced among the nobles because of their obvious reputation and praised them for a while. Friendship with Wang Guan, both of them were called "silence".

Zhang Dun and Su Shi had a very good relationship and got along well. One day, Zhang Dun lay on the bed with his belly, and Su Shi came back from outside. Zhang Dun touched his stomach and asked, "You say there is something in it." Su Shi said, "It's all family internal affairs of rebellion." Zhang Dun laughed after hearing this. Once, the two went to visit the temple. There were monsters in the temple that harmed people, and people dared not stay. After Zhang Dun settled down, the monsters did not dare to come out.

The two went to Xianyoutan again, and the cliff was thousands of feet below. The shore was very narrow, and the bridge was built across the wood. Zhang Dun pushed Su Shi over the wall of the pond, but Su Shi did not dare to go over. Zhang Dun walked by, hung a tree with a rope, and stepped up and down, with a calm expression. He used a lacquer and ink to moisten the pen, and wrote a large stone wall: "Zhang Dun, Su Shi is here to travel." Su Shi stroked Zhang Dun's back and said, "You will definitely be able to kill people in the future." Zhang Dun asked in surprise: "Why?" Su Shi said, "Those who can fight to the death will definitely be able to kill people." Zhang Dun laughed loudly when he heard this.

Once, the two of them were drinking in the mountain temple, and suddenly

However, I heard that there was a tiger. The two of them were drunk and pulled their horses to watch. There were still dozens of steps away from the tiger, and the horses were frightened and did not dare to move forward. Su Shi said, "The horses are so scared, why are they doing for them?" So he turned the horse's head. But Zhang Dun whipped the horse alone and said, "I have a reason." When he was about to approach the tiger, he took the copper salad and rang it on the stone. The tiger was frightened and ran away. He went back and said, "You must be worse than me."

In the second year of Jiayou, Zhang Dun went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. His nephew Zhang Heng passed the imperial examination. However, Zhang Dun was the first student in the imperial examination. However, Zhang Dun refused to accept the imperial examination and threw it away and returned home. During this period, he encountered a strange thing. Because he was very handsome and elegant, he was very careful.

On the night when he arrived in the capital, Zhang Dun was wandering around the street alone. Suddenly, he saw several magnificent sedan chairs, with the entourage and the guards dressed beautifully. There was a woman in the last sedan chair, who was beautiful. The woman in the sedan chair always stared at Zhang Dun and teased Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun unknowingly followed the sedan chair.

The woman waved to Zhang Dun and asked Zhang Dun to sit in the sedan chair. The two sat together in the sedan chair and were carried into a wealthy family. The woman asked Zhang Dun to pretend to be a follower and mingled in. The courtyard was very luxurious and elegant, but no one seemed to live in. That night, Zhang Dun slept with the woman. The woman not only served Zhang Dun herself, but also introduced many beautiful women like her and Zhang Dun were indulging in joy. These women were all very beautiful, but Zhang Dun asked about their situation, but the women didn't tell him.

After the women finished their troubles, they locked Zhang Dun in the house with locks and prevented him from coming out. This happened for several days, causing Zhang Dun to be exhausted. At this time, Zhang Dun felt scared. Later, an older concubine told him that although the master here had many wives, none of them could have children, so the master allowed them to hook up with young and handsome men and have sex with his concubines, hoping to get pregnant. However, over time, they would die and several people had died.

After hearing this, Zhang Dun was naturally scared. He hurriedly asked the concubine how to escape. The woman said, "You are not a mediocre person, you will definitely be able to be free." The master went to court tomorrow morning and you wear my clothes. After going out, you don't have to lock the door. By the fifth hour, I will change the clothes of a male servant. If you mix with the servants, you will not be in danger. Never tell others, otherwise you will be in a disaster. Zhang Dun escaped according to her plan. Later, Zhang Dun was noble and told the matter. Although he found the name of the owner of the house, he didn't want to say it out for others to know.

In the fourth year of Jiayou, Zhang Dun took the imperial examination again, passed the imperial examination, ranked fifth in the first place, and ranked first in the Kaifeng Prefecture examination. He served as the magistrate of Shangluo County and the governor of the Xiongwu Army. Later, Zhang Dun was appreciated and recommended by Ouyang Xiu, the chief political officer, and was summoned to take the position of the office. After passing the examination, he was attacked by King Tao of Zhizhi. He did not hold the position of the office and was appointed as the magistrate of Wujin County.

In the second year of Xining, Li Chengzhi recommended Zhang Dun to the deputy governor Wang Anshi. After Wang Anshi met him, he admired him very much. Wang Anshi began reforms and allowed Zhang Dun to enter Jixian Academy. Wang Anshi established the Registration Department of the Three Divisions, appointed Zhang Dun as the Registration Office of the Three Divisions, and was appointed as the escort officer of the Jixian Hall, and was appointed as the Secretary of the Secretariat. He participated in the formulation of new laws, supervised the national history, and compiled records.

In the fourth year of Xining, Zhang Dun was ordered

Analyzing the Yishi affairs in Yuzhou, and analyzing the service affairs of Kuizhou Road. The regulations for the establishment of the Three Departments were abolished, and Zhang Dun was appointed as the official office of the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Central Committee, and the revised three commanders and the annual regulations for the treasury affairs of various treasury affairs, and participated in the formulation of regulations for the financial institutions. Soon, Zhang Dun was sent to Binzhou to investigate and handle the case. Zhang Dun learned about the implementation of the new employment law in Shaanxi along the way, and some other situations. Zhang Dun proposed to adopt the application of grain prices when the price of grain was low, and the government purchased a large amount of time to prepare for the time being. There was no trouble on the border, so the army was moved to the harvest area to obtain grain to solve the military supplies, which was adopted by Zhao Xu.

In the fifth year of Xining, Zhang Dun was appointed as a visiting envoy from the Lianghu Lake. There were many mountains in the southwest and the local people were mixed. Throughout the ages, they regarded it as a place where people were transformed. They called barbarians and wisps and never placed officials. They just ordered the chiefs everywhere to manage the locals and let them slap themselves. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, Qin Zaixiong, a native of Chenzhou, was brave and resourceful, and most of the barbarians were afraid of him.

When Zhao Kuangyin learned about it, he summoned him to the capital, ordered him to serve as the governor of Chenzhou, and had high hopes for him. He also agreed to his own jurisdiction and give him a rent for a state. Qin Zaixiong was grateful and sent 20 people to select the ranks of the ranks and sent the barbarians to recruit various troops, so there were no border troubles within thousands of miles. After that, even some unstable areas were quickly pacified.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen, the governor of Xizhou, Peng Shixi, gathered people to rebel. Peng Shixi was named Fushui, and was the fifth grandson of Peng Shichou. Peng Shixi was very dissatisfied with the control and exploitation of the Song Dynasty. In the first year of Mingdao of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Shiduan, the governor of Xiaxizhou, died. His successor brother ascended the post and called himself "Ruyi King". At that time, 13 of the twenty states under the jurisdiction of Xizhou did not obey Shixi's control. He forcibly replaced the leader, made weapons, trained soldiers, and prepared to rebel against the Song Dynasty.

In the second year of Huangku, Peng Shixi forced his son Peng Shibao's wife, and reached his son's resentment. Peng Shibao then rushed to Chenzhou and sued Peng Shixi to the Song Dynasty for killing the thirteen generals under his rule, annexed the land, proclaimed himself king, and planned to cause rebellion. He also led Song Shouxin and others to lead 4,000 officers and soldiers to enter Xizhou to conquer Peng Shixi. Peng Shixi took advantage of the rushing streams in the western Xiangxi region, deep mountains and dense forests, and dangerous mountain roads. He waited for an opportunity to ambush the officers and soldiers along the way, causing Song Shouxin to be beaten everywhere and return in a mess. The Song army captured the elderly, weak women and children in Xizhou and the bronze pillars of Xizhou as spoils.

The Song court treated Song Shouxin and others as demoted, and since then the relationship between Xizhou and Chenzhou deteriorated. The Xi soldiers came and went on the border of Chenzhou, and were quick and steadily, so the officers and soldiers could not deal with it at all. The Song Dynasty issued an edict to him, which was to cut tribute and give him the same age as before, inducing Peng Shixi to surrender again. Peng Shixi refused to follow, and the border friction continued for years.

The Song court sent Dou Shunqing and Zhu Chuyou to lead more than 10,000 troops to reach the borders of Chenzhou and Xizhou. They first advised Peng Shixi to surrender. Seeing that the Song army was in large numbers, Peng Shixi agreed to negotiate peace and sent people to the Song camp to explain that the "King Ruyi" was caused by distant people not understanding Chinese etiquette and laws, and was not intentional to rebel. Song Shouxin and others believed in Peng Shibao's slander and used troops rashly to harm Xizhou. This was the reason why the war on the border lasted for several years. Now they are willing to return to the court with twenty states and restore the previous tribute system.

Dou Shunqing accepted Peng Shixi's request and returned to the court. After Peng Shixi surrendered, conflicts between Xizhou and Chenzhou continued to occur. In December of the second year of Jiahu, Song sent Lei Jianfu, the chief minister of the Hall of the Palace, Wang Chuo, and the general Dou Shunqing of the state, to lead a large army to conquer Luohezhai to Shimaya, Qingxi, and other officials occupied by Xizhou for ten years.
