Chapter 135 Misfortune fell from the sky, and the evening scene was bleak

[Since the Khitan army went south and invaded the hinterland of the Central Plains, the people, soldiers and civilians from all over the Song Dynasty began to fight against the enemy bravely.It has to be said that although the voices of fleeing and avoiding war were the most common in the Song Dynasty court hall, the people of the Song Dynasty had been bravely and tenaciously resisting the invasion of the northern enemy.

Although the Liao army claims to have an army of 20, they are alone in the depths, with long supply lines and difficult to maintain food and grass. 】

[After October, the Khitan army began to lose steadily on the battlefield.

Especially when Zhenzong came to Beicheng in person, Xiao Talan, the vanguard of the Liao army, was shot and killed by Song general Li Jilong's general Zhang Huan with an elite bed crossbow under the city of Chanzhou, which greatly shook the Khitan army's morale.

The Empress Dowager Xiao and the Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom, seeing that they could not get any advantage on the battlefield, turned to the ruler of the Northern Song Dynasty to "negotiate peace" in an attempt to obtain benefits that could not be obtained on the battlefield from the negotiating table.

In fact, Song Zhenzong had no determination to fight against the enemy, and the Khitan people's "negotiation for peace" was exactly in his arms. 】

"The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really a coward. At this time, he doesn't want to eat up his opponents, but he even plans to negotiate a peace?" Liu Che had some difficulty understanding Song Zhenzong's thoughts.

Yang Guang also felt a little unbelievable, and said: "Isn't it good to beat the dog in the water? Negotiate a peace???"

"That's right, this is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, you can always trust their weakness when dealing with foreign enemies," Zhu Youjian complained.

[Khitan's peace negotiation condition is that the Song Dynasty "return" the "land of Guannan" won by Zhou Shizong Chai Rong during the Northern Expedition.

The Song Dynasty's condition was that as long as the Liao Kingdom retreated, it could give Liao some silver and silk every year, but did not agree to territorial requirements.

Negotiations were carried out during the confrontation between the two armies, but in the end an agreement was reached on the terms of the Song side, and the remaining issue was the amount of silver silk to be given to Liao every year. 】

[Kou Zhun has always opposed peace talks, advocating taking advantage of the situation to send troops to regain lost ground.

The generals of the main battle faction, the Ningbian Army, have deployed Yang Zhi, and have captured several Youyan prefectures. However, because Zhenzong is devoted to peace negotiations, the compromise faction is arrogant.

They attacked Kou Zhun for his self-respect, and even said that he was plotting evil.

Under the slander of this group of people, Kou Zhun was finally forced to give up his idea of ​​the main battle, and this also greatly contributed to the arrogance of the Compromisers.

Therefore, under the plan of the Compromise faction, in December of the same year, Song and Liao signed a peace treaty.

This is the famous "Chanyuan Alliance" in history. 】

"I'm really convinced by these idiots!"

"Being a soft bone can be so high-profile and so proud. Except for the high officials of the Song Dynasty, I really can't think of anyone else."

"It's a pity that these soldiers and people who protect the country with their blood and lives, what they pay for is just a humiliating treaty."

"I'm sorry, Song Dynasty, for making everyone laugh again."

People in all parallel dimensions are lamenting and scolding those Compromisers, and even the people in the Song Dynasty feel ashamed and ashamed.

[After this battle, Kou Zhun received many awards for his meritorious service against the enemy, and Song Zhenzong also valued him even more.

However, everyone knows that in the Song Dynasty, anyone who has meritorious service and external meritorious service will not only attract envy, but also easily be suppressed by civil servants.

In addition, Kou Zhun himself is a bit persistent, and sometimes he speaks too bluntly, so he still offends some people. 】

[In 1006 A.D., just over a year after the Tanyuan Alliance was concluded, Kou Zhun was removed from the position of prime minister and sent to Shanzhou to be the magistrate.

In the following ten years, Kou Zhun has been working as an official outside the court, while Wang Qinruo and others who stayed in the court gradually took control of the court, and because they are better at flattery, they are quite popular with Song Zhenzong.

If he was simply released and never returned to Beijing, Kou Zhun's old age might not be too miserable.After all, he has been a prime minister for many years and is deeply entrenched in the court. It is not so easy to completely defeat Kou Zhun.

However, in 1019 AD, Kou Zhun returned to the capital again to serve as prime minister, but this time it brought him a painful blow. 】

【What does it mean when a person sits at home and the pot comes from the sky?Just look at what happened to Kou Zhun next. 】

[The reason why Kou Zhun was able to return to the court to serve as the prime minister was actually because Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei, who were in power at the time, did not have enough prestige and qualifications. If they wanted to be promoted to the prime minister, they were not qualified at all, so Kou Zhun had to be invited back first , with the help of Kou Zhun's reputation, to do things for himself.

However, after Kou Zhun returned to Beijing, he didn't follow their methods at all, and he didn't want to join forces with them, so he aroused their resentment.

And the court at this time is completely different from before Kou Zhun left.

Song Zhenzong is now suffering from illness, and has handed over the power of the court to the Empress Liu to handle it.

Empress Liu is a Wu Zetian-like figure who is very eager for power.Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei and others all supported Empress Liu in power; after Kou Zhun returned to Beijing, he supported the crown prince in power.

Kou Zhun's return involved him in a whirlpool of sinister political struggles. 】

[However, at the critical moment when both parties come and go, no one can do anything to the other.

A dramatic event suddenly changed all that.

At that time there was an eunuch named Zhou Huaizheng, who had a personal grievance with Ding Zhi and his group.

However, this person is not a good person, because he wants to launch a coup d'état, respect Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng as the Supreme Emperor, make Kou Zhun the prime minister, and the prince ascend the throne.As a result, the matter was brought to light before the coup d'état.

After the incident was revealed, Ding Wei, who was in power, would naturally not let Zhou Huaizheng go, but at the same time, he did not forget Kou Zhun, who had no prior knowledge.

Ding Wei framed Kou Zhun, saying that Kou Zhun also wanted to rebel. Although there was no evidence later, since Zhou Huaizheng planned to make Kou Zhun his prime minister, Kou Zhun was naturally involved.

In this way, Kou Zhun was demoted from the capital and exiled as an official in the frontier. 】

Liu Bang was stunned and said to himself: "Fuck! Rebellion! Kou Zhun is the one who blamed him!"

Guan Yu said with some empathy: "So, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. They don't seem to be teammates. This is really a disaster."

[In the fourth year of Tianxi (AD 1020), Kou Zhun was kicked out of the capital for the last time, and he never returned to the capital after that.

Kou Zhun lived a miserable life in his later years. In September of the first year of Tiansheng (1023 A.D.), he finally died as a foreigner. 】

[Although Kou Zhun spoke too directly, he often pissed off the emperor and his colleagues, but Kou Zhun's contribution to the Song Dynasty was indelible, and it was the tenacious resistance of the resistance faction headed by him that made the Song Dynasty " The Tanyuan Alliance" greatly extended the life of the Song Dynasty.

Kou Zhun's life has been flawed in small details, but righteousness has not been lost. He is ranked ninth among the top ten famous figures in history, and he deserves his name! 】
