The Summoner of the Battle of All Realms

Several children who were not very old were very excited and kept talking to their mothers.

These children were very excited.

Fusu sat in the carriage and didn't know all this.

Fusu entered the summoning space.

In more than half a month, Li Jing and Chen Qingzhi once again destroyed a country, giving Fusu two more opportunities to summon characters.

Fusu is now eager to get Wenchen.

Because after pacifying the thirty-six countries in the Western Region, he needed to send the interior minister to govern them.

Fusu had many more generals than civil servants.

Following Fusu's summons, summoning cards appeared in front of Fusu one after another.

Fusu has now gone from "conquering the world" to "ruling the world" now.

To conquer the world, you need strong generals to charge and attack the city; to rule the world, you need civil servants to govern the country.

Following Fusu's movements, a summoning card appeared in front of Fusu.

"Swipe", the summoning card in Fusu's hand showed its true appearance again.

"The Ming Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty - Kou Zhun".

Many people are not very familiar with Kou Zhun, but Kou Zhun is definitely a rare prime minister in history.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, it left a great reputation.

Even in history textbooks, Qing Shi is famous.

Kou Zhun, courtesy name Pingzhong, was a native of Huazhou and a famous statesman and poet in Kyushu. First, he won the Jinshi title and was awarded the title of Dali judge and Zhiguizhou Badong County, which was changed to Daming Prefecture Cheng'an County.

Later, he moved to the palace of Zhongcheng and Tongpan Yunzhou. He was called to the Bachelor's College, awarded the right right statement and the direct history hall, and became the official of the third division branch and the judge of salt and iron. Li Tongzhi knew the affairs of the Privy Council and participated in political affairs. Afterwards, he served as an envoy twice, once as an envoy to the Privy Council, and then as an envoy when he came out.

In the first year of Qianxing, he was demoted several times, and finally Sihu of Leizhou joined the army.

In the first year of Tiansheng's reign, he died of illness in Leizhou.

In the fourth year of Emperor You's reign, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty ordered the Hanlin scholar Sun Miao to do the job.

Therefore, later generations often call him "Kou Zhongmin" or "Kou Laigong". Kou Zhun was good at poetry and prose, and Qijue was particularly charming. Three volumes of Kou Zhongmin's poetry collection have been handed down to the world. Together with Bai Juyi and Zhang Renyuan, they are known as the "Three Sages" of Weinan.

Some people call Kou Zhun the Wei Zheng of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Why do you say that?

Because Kou Zhun was also famous for his courage to give direct advice and was not afraid of beheading.

Comparable to Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty.

Kou Zhun once reported to the palace and boldly gave advice. Because his loyal words were offensive to his ears, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty could not listen. He left the Dragon Throne angrily and wanted to return to the inner palace.

Kou Zhun dared to grab Song Taizong's clothes and persuade him to sit down again and listen to what he had to say.

This guy is also awesome and dares to pull Song Taizong's dragon robe.

Fortunately, Song Taizong was wise and did not pursue the case.

Afterwards, Song Taizong admired Kou Zhun very much and said happily: "I got Kou Zhun, just like Tang Taizong got Wei Zheng."

Kou Zhun was famous for his uprightness and resourcefulness among the officials of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. ..

Later, a severe drought occurred. Song Taizong summoned his ministers to inquire about the pros and cons of current affairs. Most of the ministers thought it was caused by the number of days. Kou Guanzhen said: "Hong Fanli said that the relationship between heaven and man corresponds to each other like shadow and echo. The severe drought is because the punishment is unfair."

Song Taizong was very angry and got up and returned to the palace. After a while, Kou Zhun was called to ask about the unfair punishment. Kou Zhun said: "I hope to call the officials from the second government here, and I will tell you."

The emperor ordered to summon officials from the second government, and Kou Zhun said: "Not long ago, both Zu Ji and Wang Huai broke the law and accepted bribes. Zu Ji took less bribes but was beheaded. Wang Huai accepted money because he was Wang Mi's younger brother who participated in politics. Tens of millions of people, only to be punished with a rod, but still reinstated in office, isn't this unfair?"

Song Taizong asked Wang Mi about this matter, and Wang Mi kowtowed to apologize. So Song Taizong severely criticized Wang Mi and knew that Kou Zhun could be used. Kou Zhun was immediately appointed as Zuo Jianyi doctor and deputy privy envoy. He was changed to Tongzhiyuan and began to directly participate in the military and state affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty.

For Kou Zhun, his greatest achievement was to allow Song Zhenzong to lead the expedition in person, and he also won a victory and promoted the country's prestige.

In the third year of Zhidao, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty passed away, and Prince Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne. Kou Zhun was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Industry. Song Zhenzong wanted Kou Zhun to be the prime minister for a long time, but he was worried that his upright character would make it difficult for him to serve alone.

The Liao Kingdom took advantage of the new ruler of the Song Dynasty and harassed the border more frequently.

In the second year of Xianping, the Liao army defeated the Song army at Gaoyang Pass, captured the Song Dynasty and deployed Kangbao people in the capital, and returned with a large plunder.

In the sixth year of Xianping, the Liao army invaded Gaoyang Pass again. Wang Jizhong, the deputy commander of the Song army, was captured and surrendered to the Liao Dynasty.

The two wars greatly shocked the Northern Song Dynasty court. In the first year of Jingde, urgent documents were frequently sent from the border, saying that the Liao army was about to invade again on a large scale.

In June, Bi Shi'an, a political counselor, recommended Kou Zhun to Song Zhenzong as prime minister. Bi Shi'an said: "Kou Zhun was gifted with loyalty and righteousness, capable of handling major events; he was determined to die for his country, and he was jealous of evil. Now that the Northern Powerhouse is invading, only Kou Zhun can resist the enemy and protect the country." In August, Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an paid homage to the prime minister on the same day.

In the first year of Jingde, Kou Zhun ranked under Bi Shi'an with the official position of Jixian Palace Bachelor. In September, Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu and his mother, Queen Mother Xiao, led an army of 200,000 people and set out from Youzhou to advance southward. The Liao army attacked Dingzhou from the Weilu army, but was blocked by the Song soldiers, so they turned their troops to the southeast. When the Liao army went south. At the time of "urgent writing", most of the upper-class figures in the ruling group of the Northern Song Dynasty were panicked and frightened.

Wang Qinruo, who participated in political affairs, was from Jiangnan and advocated moving the capital to Jinling.

Chen Yaosou, deputy envoy to the Privy Council, was from Sichuan and proposed to move the capital to Chengdu. They advocated avoiding the Liao Kingdom to deal with the Liao Kingdom's invasion.

Song Zhenzong had no intention of resisting the enemy, and even showed fear and uneasiness. Only Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an firmly advocated resistance. When Song Zhenzong asked them for their opinions, Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosou happened to be present.

Kou Zhun knew in his heart that the proposal to move the capital was proposed by them, but he pretended not to know and expressed his opinion to Song Zhenzong.

Kou Zhun's opinion prevented the compromisers from escaping to avoid the enemy. In order to eliminate Wang Qinruo's influence on Song Zhenzong, Kou Zhun transferred him from Song Zhenzong's side to the front line of Tianxiong Army to defend against Liao soldiers.

In October, the Liao soldiers captured Qizhou, advanced southeastward, passed through Beizhou, and attacked the city of Chanzhou. As a result, not only did a large area of ​​Hebei's territory fall into the hands of the enemy, but the capital Bianjing, which was only across the river, was also exposed to the threat of the Liao cavalry. The facts are before us, and the only way out is to resolutely resist the enemy. The timid Song Zhenzong finally decided to fight in person under Kou Zhun's urging.

However, many people within the ruling group still had no confidence in fighting the enemy. Even the prime minister at the time, Bi Shi'an, used the excuse that he was ill and the Taibai Star's appearance during the day was unlucky for the ministers, and was unwilling to accompany him on the Northern Expedition. He also blamed Kou Zhun for urging Song Zhenzong to Personal expedition makes irresponsible remarks.

Under Kou Zhun's urging, Song Zhenzong asked King Yong to stay in the capital while he set off northward.

The Liao army had arrived near Beicheng. Song Zhenzong did not dare to cross the river and only wanted to station in Nancheng. Kou Zhun urged him to cross the river, but Zhenzong was hesitant.

As soon as the real Golden Dragon Flag appeared on the north tower of Chanzhou, the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Song Dynasty below the city immediately burst into thunderous cheers and became a hundred times more powerful. After Zhenzong visited the northern city of Chanzhou for a symbolic inspection, he returned to his palace in the southern city and left Kou Zhun in the northern city to direct the battle. Song Zhenzong sent people to visit Kou Zhun several times. Kou Zhun and Zhizhi Gao Yang Yi were drinking and playing chess on the tower, very calm. Kou Zhun was so confident that Song Zhenzong no longer panicked.

Since the massive invasion of the Liao Kingdom, soldiers and civilians everywhere have bravely resisted the enemy. Although the Liao army was said to have 200,000 troops, it entered alone, with a long supply line and insufficient food and grass. After October, the Liao army suffered successive defeats on the battlefield. Especially when Zhenzong came to Beicheng in person, Liao army pioneer Xiao Talan was shot dead by Song general Li Jilong's general Zhang Huan with an elite bed crossbow at the foot of Chanzhou City, which greatly shook the morale of the Khitan army. Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo and Prime Minister Yelu Longyun of the Liao Kingdom estimated that they would not get much advantage on the battlefield, so they turned to the Northern Song Dynasty to negotiate peace, trying to obtain benefits from the negotiation table that they could not obtain on the battlefield.

Therefore, under the planning of the compromise faction, in December of the same year, the Song and Liao parties concluded a peace treaty. This is the famous "Chanyuan Alliance" in history. ..
