More than a month later, Xu Yuanjie was on duty. One day he met with the Prime Minister Fan Zhong, had lunch in the pavilion, and went home in the afternoon. He suddenly felt uncomfortable. As soon as dusk arrived, he had a combination of cold and heat. At the fourth watch of the night, he screamed

He died several times. All the students of the three schools went to the palace and wrote a letter, saying: "Since the past dynasties, villains have harmed gentlemen, but they have only banished them far away and died due to the miasma. Now the miasma and rain are not in Lingnan, but in Lingnan."

The court and ministers are really horrified." So Zhao Yun ordered the ministers to be escorted to Lin'an Prefecture for interrogation, but because there was no evidence, these people refused to confess. Lin'an Prefecture Yin also knew that the matter was important, so he was happy to delay the matter.

Soon, Liu Hanbi fell ill and died suddenly. One hundred and seventy-three students, including Cai Derun, filed a lawsuit. Zhao Yun had no choice but to award the Xu and Liu families 500 acres of official land and 5,000 yuan in cash.

Pensions. The public opinions are becoming more and more divergent. Some people say: "The old Prime Minister Du Fan also died of poisoning." Everyone hesitated, and even the people in the court did not dare to eat chopsticks, preferring to work on an empty stomach. Who was responsible for the poison? It was unclear for a while.

Designated. Shi Jingqing, Shi Song's son, died suddenly because he usually advised Shi Songzhi.

Besides, after the Battle of Huangzhou, the imperial court gave Meng Gong a golden bowl. He gave the golden bowl plus fifty taels of platinum to the generals. The soldiers fought day and night, and there were many sick and wounded. Meng Gong shared the joys and sorrows with everyone, and sent additional military doctors.

He healed the wounded soldiers, and the soldiers were all grateful. When Yu Jie took office as the envoy of Sichuan, he paid a visit to Meng Gong. Meng Gong thought that the food and grass in Chongqing was too little, so he generously sent 100,000 stones of farmland grain to Yu Jie as a meeting gift, and sent six soldiers

When Qian entered Shu, he ordered his son Meng Zhijing to serve as the commander-in-chief of the support department and be ready for rescue at any time.

Meng Gong also petitioned the court, hoping to build a temple for the civil and military officials who died in the Anti-Mongolian War to commemorate their contribution to defending the country and inspire future generations to devote themselves to serving the country. He built an ancestral hall under the Cishi Pagoda in Yueyang, and the court

It was decreed that the temple should be named Minzhong Temple, and a memorial ceremony should be held every year for the martyrs. Meng Gong's compassion and compassion moved the local people and the families of the soldiers.

In the spring of the first year of Chunyou, Meng Gong was appointed as the ambassador to the Jinghu pacification system. He was granted the title of Founding Duke of Handong County and inspected the school. In the spring of the fourth year of Chunyou, he also served as the prefect of Jiangling. Meng Gong took advantage of the opportunity when Wokuotai died of illness and Mongolia fell into civil strife.

, began to use the "threshing grass" strategy. He sent troops many times to attack the Mongolian army's fortress in Henan, burned the enemy's hoards of grain and grass, and won many victories. Meng Gong's reputation became more prominent, and many soldiers who had originally surrendered to the Mongolian army

The soldiers returned one after another, and the situation on the Jinghu battlefield improved unprecedentedly.

In the sixth year of Chunyou, Fan Yongji, the former general of the Zhenbei Army of the Song Dynasty and then in charge of the Henan Province of Mongolia, betrayed the Mongols and secretly asked Meng Gong to surrender. Meng Gong was overjoyed and hurriedly wrote to the court for approval. Fan Yongji was the governor of the Henan Province of Mongolia.

Once the military and political officials surrendered, it would obviously be of great benefit to the Song Dynasty militarily, but the Song court was afraid of causing trouble and was unwilling to surrender or accept rebels.

Zhao Yun was also afraid that Fan Yongji's surrender would increase Meng Gong's power, and became suspicious of him. He rejected Meng Gong's request on the grounds that Fan Yongji's "rebellion was unusual". After Meng Gong heard about it, he couldn't help but feel disheartened.

He sighed and said, "Those who have been cleaning up the Central Plains for thirty years can no longer stretch their ambitions." Then he took the initiative to apply for an official appointment. Zhao Yun immediately approved it and asked Meng Gong to inspect the major division and Ningwu Military Festival.

Retired in the name of Du Envoy. Meng Gong was already ill.

As a result, his condition worsened, and he could not afford to be ill in Gangneung for the whole summer.

On the third day of September of the same year, a big star fell in the territory with a sound like thunder. Then a strong wind blew up the house and broke the trees. That night, Meng Gong died in Jiangling at the age of fifty-two. The obituary reached Lin'an, and Zhao Yun was very worried.

Shocked, he issued an edict to suspend court for one day as a sign of mourning, and gave it as a special gift to the young master. Later, he gave it to the Grand Master, Duke Ji, with the posthumous title of "Zhongxiang". Due to the request of the elders in Jingxiang area, a temple was built for Meng Gong, with the title "Wei".

like".

During his many years of military career, Meng Gong discovered and trained a large number of talents. These people played a huge role after Meng Gong's death, and many of them became pillars on the battlefield. Several of Meng Gong's brothers were also good generals for a while.

.Wang Jian and Liu Zheng who harassed the battle in Henan. The former commanded the world-famous "Battle of Diaoyu City" and the latter was in charge of Tongchuanfu Road. Unfortunately, after being squeezed out, Liu Zheng surrendered to Mongolia and became the mastermind behind the demise of the Song Dynasty.

.The officer who executed the defeated general Liang Dong was the famous general Gundam who would become famous in the Jinghu battlefield in the future. In the fourth year of Jiaxi, Meng Gong took in a young man named Li Tingzhi. He valued him very much and appointed him as the supervisor of Jiyiwen. Li Tingzhi

Yu later became the coach of Huaidong.

In the fifth year of Chunyou's reign, Jia Sidao, who was the deputy envoy along the Yangtze River, knew Jiangzhou and was the pacification envoy to Jiangxi, built a city in Huaixi, achieved great achievements and became famous. After Meng Gong learned about the situation, he thought he was a talent and asked Zhao Yun

It was suggested that Jia Sidao should take over the position of Jinghu pacification ambassador, and the budding Li Tingzhi was recommended to Jia Sidao. When Meng Gong first recommended him, Jia Sidao's talent definitely exceeded that of Qin Hui.

At this time, Fan Zhong, the prime minister of the left, repeatedly asked to return to his fields, so he was removed from the post of prime minister and was promoted to the Dongxiao Palace. Zhao Yun summoned Zheng Qingzhi to be the prime minister of the right, with the title of Taifu. Zhao Yun also appointed Zhao Kui as the privy envoy and governor.

He looked at the army and horses of Jiang, Huai, Beijing, and Hu, and also knew Jiankang Prefecture. Shi Songzhi was in mourning at this time, and he wanted to be appointed. Zhao Yun also had the same intention. The imperial censor Zhang Yan, right Zhengyan Li Angying, and the supervising censor Huang Shiyong

, impeached Shi Songzhi for being a kingless and fatherless person, and all of them were dismissed from office. Li Shao, a Hanlin scholar, resisted with his fellow officials, and Zhao Yun then ordered Shi Songzhi to serve, saying that he would no longer use him.

Soon, Zhao Yun was promoted to Jia Sidao as the envoy of the Huaihe system, and also knew Yangzhou; Li Zengbo was the envoy of the Hu system in Beijing, and also knew the Jiangling Mansion. Zhao Kui was impeached, and Shangshu resigned. The officials said:

"Zhao Kui did not enter the profession through subjects, so it would be difficult for him to serve as a privy councilor." Zhao Kui said in his dictionary: "Huo Guang is uneducated and has no skills. He feels ashamed every time he thinks of Zhang Yong's words. What book did Hou Ji read? He dared to use Zhao Wei's words to explain himself.

"Four languages ​​​​spread among the people, Zhao Yun actually changed Zhao Kui to be a bachelor of Guanwen Palace, and also a judge of Tanzhou. Zhao Yun dismissed Zhao Kui because of his slander, and instead used Jia Sidao, Li Zengbo and others.

Jia Sidao, courtesy name Shi Xian, was born in Songxi, Tengqiao, Tiantai, Zhejiang. Jia She's son, his biological mother Hu was Jia She's concubine. Before Jia Sidao became famous, he had always been a small gangster, doing nothing all day long, making troubles and causing trouble.

Once, he took some of his friends to an orchard to steal some fruit. They were caught and beaten up severely. They knelt down and begged for mercy, but the owner refused and insisted on sending them to the government. After arriving at the government, the prefect

He ordered them to be beaten with thirty sticks to kill Wei Feng. The misery of the others being beaten made Jia Sidao palpitate. When it was his turn, he bravely shouted: "Which of you dares to beat me? Do you know who I am?"

"

The prefect laughed and said: "Who are you? You are a greedy cat who steals things. Stop talking nonsense and execute me!" Jia Sidao ran forward, slapped the prefect several times loudly, and cursed: "The dog officer has no eyesight.

It’s time to beat me! My uncle is here, why don’t you kneel down to welcome him!” Seeing this, the prefect covered his red face that was hurt by the beating, and asked doubtfully: “Are you my uncle? What is your name?” Jia Sidao saw that he was afraid.

, feeling very proud, puffing up his chest, and said proudly: "I am the younger brother of the imperial concubine Jia Guifei, and the emperor's brother-in-law, Jia Sidao." The prefect knelt down and begged for mercy, and not only treated him to a sumptuous meal

During the banquet, the orchard owner who came to complain was beaten. After that, Jia Sidao realized the importance of his sister and vowed to get ahead. Soon, Concubine Jia sent a message to her younger brother, asking him to study hard and strive to pass the Jinshi exam to honor his ancestors.

Later, he became a Jinshi. His sister Jia was already Zhao Yun's noble concubine, so he was promoted to Taichang Cheng, weapons supervisor. At this time, Jia Sidao still did not change his dandy attitude.

He was angry because he was favored as an official, so he behaved unruly. He often went to brothels to play during the day and spent the whole night playing in the lake. Once, Zhao Yun climbed up and looked into the distance and saw the bright lights on the West Lake, so he asked his entourage.

He opened his mouth and replied: "This must be like Tao." Zhao Yun went to verify it the next day and found that it was true. So Zhao Yun asked Jing Yin Shi Yanzhi to warn Jia Sidao, and Shi Yanzhi said: "Although Shi Dao has the temperament of a boy,

, but his talent can be put to great use." So Zhao Yun sent Jia Sidao to Lizhou to train.

In the first year of Chunyou, Jia Sidao was changed to the commander-in-chief of Huguang and began to lead the military. After that, he appointed the direct bachelor of Baozhangge as the deputy envoy along the Yangtze River, who knew Jiangzhou and served as the pacification envoy of Jiangnan West Road, and then moved to Jinghu to set up the envoy and concurrently

He knew Jiangling Prefecture. Later, he was a bachelor of Jiabaowen Pavilion, an ambassador of the Jinghu pacification system, and he moved to Lianghuai with a bachelor of Duanming Palace.

Since the Chunyou era, there were Meng Gong in Beijing and Lake, and Lu Wende, the ambassador in Huaixi. They were able to arrange the defense and it was impeccable. Therefore, the Mongolian soldiers stayed on the border and did not dare to enter lightly. Of course, this was also because the civil strife in Mongolia was not settled, so they had no time to go outside.

Although there were guerrillas coming and going, there was no major war. It turned out that because the six queens of Mongolia were called Ma Zhen, there was no ruler in the country for four years. She favored her courtiers Odulaheman and Huifu

Fatma colluded with the inside and outside, criticized the virtuous and favored the traitors, and destroyed most of the old ministers on the right side of the court.

Zhongshu ordered Yelu Chucai to worry about death. Therefore, Taizu's younger brother, King Temuge, raised troops from the vassal town in the name of the Qing Dynasty and marched from east to west. Empress Naima Zhen could not help but be anxious, so she summoned her eldest son Guiyou to the capital.

, Guyuk was established as the head of the country, and Tiemuge withdrew his troops. Although Guyu succeeded to the throne, the government still returned to his mother. A few months later, Naimazhen died, and Guyuk

Only after the Khan executed Odu Laheman, Fatma and others together, and the palace ban was cleared, did things start to improve.

Keguiyu had always been sick. He thought that the water and soil in the capital were not suitable for recuperation, so it was better to move to the Western Regions. So he went to Hengxiang Yi'er under the pretext of a western tour. He stayed there for many years, but his illness did not get better, but worsened, and he soon died.

Queen Owu Liehai held the honor of losing the title of the clan, and took charge of the affairs of the family with the help of her nephew. However, most of the kings and ministers were not convinced, so they held a separate meeting of Kuriltai, promoted Tolei's son Meng Ge as the Great Khan, and led the army to attack
