Chapter 67 Taizu's Oath Monument

"Long live the Song Dynasty!"

"Long live the Song Dynasty!"

Outside the imperial city, there were crowds of people, and the people shouted outside the imperial city, waved their arms, shook their fists hard, and vented their heart's content.

For hundreds of years, the Song Dynasty has suppressed the Liao Kingdom, with more defeats and fewer victory, and fewer victory. Beheading tens of thousands of people in this way was completed in Yanyun. There has never been any past, and it is impossible to make the people unhappy.

It can be said that this is one of the most important victories of the Song Dynasty since its founding. Perhaps the only achievements in destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty, conquering the Northern Han Dynasty, and pacifying Shuzhong are the only ones.

Song Shenzong ran very fast, as if flying, with an excited look on his face. He shook his fists while running, and shouted "Long live the Song Dynasty". Although there was only one person, his roar was extremely loud and spread from afar.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong followed closely behind, waved their arms and shouted, and tears in their eyes burst out involuntarily.

This is a national event. Even if Lu Gong is taking on these opposition parties, he is full of joy in the face of victory. At this moment, he temporarily suppressed the party struggle, and only joy was there.

Song Shenzong appeared on the imperial city, and his joy reached its peak. The people burst into cheers like tsunamis, "Long live the Song Dynasty! Long live the official family!"

Roaring after roar, one wave after another, I don’t know how many people are roaring. The population of Bianjing exceeds one million, and more than one million people roar. What a momentum it is, it’s so shocking.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!"

At this time, Song Shenzong shook his fist, waved his arms, and roared with his strength. At this moment, Song Shenzong was not a majestic emperor of Mumu, but a passionate patriot with joy on his face.

This victory was of great significance to Song Shenzong. The reason why it was of great significance was not because it was a victory, but that he found a way to defeat Liao and destroy Western Xia and unify China.

The Song Dynasty was weak and could not resist foreign enemies. It was suppressed and fought against foreign races, and could not unify the world. For this reason, many people wanted to change, but ministers such as Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng wanted to reform, but they had not been implemented. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song, Emperor Shenzong of Song decided to change, enrich the country and strengthen the army, defeat Liao and destroy Xixia, and complete the great cause of unification.

For this reason, he appointed Wang Anshi as prime minister and implemented the new law. However, he himself concentrated on dealing with military affairs, reforming the army, and trying to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. However, he had been busy for many years, but he had little effect and had never found the direction of military reform.

Until Wu Ji led the Congxin Army to rob the annual monies, defeating the many with few, and attacking the crowd with few. The Congxin Army showed extraordinary combat power, which made Song Shenzong see hope. This was just hope. Whether it could be vigorously promoted needs further verification. An army of thousands of people can fight, but not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops can fight. For this reason, he decided to form tens of thousands of troops to try.

What he unexpectedly thought was that this test resulted in a great victory for Yanyun, killing more than 73,000 Liao troops.

This is a clear proof, proving that Wu Ji's direction was correct, and he could train troops in the future. If this continues, the Song Dynasty will have tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of troops who can conquer and fight well. By then, it will be no problem to destroy the Liao Kingdom and destroy the Western Xia.

This is the dream of Emperor Shenzong of Song. At this moment, Emperor Shenzong's excitement is far beyond the description of his pen and ink.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!" Under the leadership of Song Shenzong, the people of Bianjing shouted to express their joy. I don't know how long it took, but Song Shenzong's joy was slightly relieved.

Song Shenzong came down from the imperial city and shouted: "Go to Taimiao."

There were Taimiao in all dynasties, which was the most sacred place in a dynasty. Whenever there was a major event, they would pay tribute to Taimiao. It was time to go to Taimiao for such a great victory. Wang Anshi and the others were busy organizing it, and soon, they were ready. The imperial guards guarded Song Shenzong and rushed to Taimiao.

"You come too!" Song Shenzong waved to Wang Anshi and the others.

When I went to the Taimiao to celebrate, it was the supreme glory. Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong were very happy and hurriedly followed.

The Taimiao is in the northeast of Bianjing, surrounded by brick and stone ditches. The group came to the Taimiao, and the imperial guards and eunuchs were waiting outside the Taimiao. Song Shenzong led Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing and Lu Gong to enter the Taimiao.

The buildings in Taimiao have two main parts: one is the hall and the other is the room. Each room is usually placed with the throne of the emperors and queens of Song Taizu, and the throne of the emperors and queens of all dynasties.

The first generation of gods faced the east, and the other generations of gods faced south or north respectively in the order of so-called "Zhao" and "Mu". When encountering a grand ceremony, the gods must be carried into the hall, the first generation of gods are in the center, and the other generations of gods are arranged on both sides in the order of "Zhao" on the left and "Mu" on the right, and all face south.

Each god lord has a room to worship the god lord. There is a gum in front of the god throne, covered with purple silk, and incense is lit in the incense burner. The fragrance lingers, and a solemn atmosphere.

Under the leadership of Emperor Shenzong of Song, Wang Anshi and his friends went to various rooms to worship, and finally came to the throne of Emperor Taizu, and confessed: "Un-filled Sun Chenxu told the spirit of the Taizu family in heaven: respect the Taizu family for the heroic and powerful battles, to fight against the north, to quell the pseudo-elimination, to establish a foundation for the Song Dynasty forever. However, the Khitan was rampant, the Western Xia invaded, and the Song Dynasty was not at peace for more than a hundred years. I am a great mistake! Fortunately, the Taizu family was protected by the spirit of the heaven, and the soldiers used their lives. The Song Dynasty's army of 80,000 entered the territory of Liao, killed more than 73,000 Liao troops, captured food and grass, and countless gold and silver! My Minister Sun Xu told the Taizu family that the spirit of the heaven, and the soldiers also paid their lives. The Song Dynasty's army of 80,000 entered the territory of Liao, killed more than 73,000 Liao troops, captured food and grass, and countless gold and silver! My Minister Sun Xu told the Taizu family that the spirit of the heaven!"

"Dongdong!"

Song Shenzong kowtowed hard, and his forehead touched the ground, making a "dong dong" sound, and a green bag appeared on his forehead. However, he seemed to be unaware of it, still kowtowing desperately.

Wang Anshi and the other two kowtowed a few times. When they found something was wrong, they hurriedly pulled Song Shenzong: "Official family, please get up quickly! Please get up quickly!"

"Let go! Let go!" Song Shenzong was unwilling to get up and shouted: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has been no such great victory. I want to kowtow and thank the Taizu family for their protection!"

Wang Anshi and the other two dared not let him kowtow again. You pulled me and finally pulled Song Shenzong up, but they saw that the boss on Song Shenzong's forehead was bleeding outwards.

"Transfer to the Imperial Doctor!" Mr. Lu hurriedly gave an order.

"No need!" Song Shenzong waved his hand to stop him and said happily: "What is this injury? It's nothing compared to the soldiers fighting bloody battles!"

Song Shenzong actually swears, which is really unexpected. Wang Anshi and the other two couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Let's go! Follow me to the Taizu Oath Monument." Song Shenzong shook his sleeves and strode in his head.

"Taizu's Swearing Monument!" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gong exclaimed in surprise.

It is rumored that Song Taizu once left a monument, but no one knew it. It was the highest secret of the Song Dynasty and only the emperor could see it. When they heard this, they were all shocked and shocked.

"You must remember that after leaving the Taimiao, forget about the oath monument!" Song Shenzong raised his eyebrows and said in an unquestionable tone: "If there is any leakage, I will destroy your nine clans. The Taizu oath monument has never been seen in the world except me, so you must remember it."

This is a great honor to the three of them. They are all happy and reciprocate the order.

Under the leadership of Song Shenzong, he came to a secret clamp room in Taimiao. The door of the clamp room was locked and tightly closed. Song Shenzong ordered people to unlock the lock, pick up a candle outside the door, and push it in. He also ordered Wang Anshi to take the incense outside the door and put it in the incense table.

Behind the incense table was a golden curtain. Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi performed a kneeling ceremony, unveiling the yellow curtain, revealing the oath monument left by Song Taizu.

The oath monument is about seven or eight feet high and four feet wide. There are three oaths on it. The first line says: "The descendants of the Chai family are not allowed to be punished if they are guilty. Even if they commit treason, they will be sentenced to death in prison. They will not be punished in the downtown area, and they will not be held in the branch."

The second line says: "The ministers, scholars and officials, and letters to the people who are in charge of the matter."

The third line says: "If the descendants have this oath, heaven will be punished by the earth."

Looking at the oath monument, Wang Anshi suddenly realized: "No wonder that over the years, the officials have given Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gongzhu more preferential treatment. No matter what they do, they have not been beheaded. Unfortunately, Sima Guang is so hateful that he opposed the new law under the guise of writing a letter to speak out. He is really cunning."

Lu Gongzhu looked at the oath monument and suddenly realized: "Sima Guang repeatedly said that no matter what, he should write a letter to talk about things. Don't go on another path. It turns out that this is a talisman. Hehe, with this amulet, I can let go of my courage to speak and talk in the future, and I will not have any worries about my life."

Looking at the oath monument, Wang Anshi and Lu Gongzhu had different feelings.

At this moment, Song Shenzong knelt down, kowtowed at the oath monument, and said, "Taizu's official family is above, and the unfilial minister Sun Xu advised the Taizu's official family is in the sky. The soldiers used their lives to plunder the Liao territory and killed more than 73,000, which was a great victory that the Song Dynasty had never seen! This army used a sword, a thunderbolt, and everyone rode a horse. This is called a new army. My ministers were determined to form such a new army in large numbers. My ministers were afraid that the ministers in the court would oppose the old and would lose the opportunity. If anyone opposed this matter under the guise of words and letters, my ministers would have to kill them! If there was a matter of killing heaven and destroying the earth, my ministers would have to bear it!"

After praying, I kept kowtowing to the oath monument, and it sounded loudly.

This sound was heard in his ears, like thunder. Wang Anshi was very happy. From then on, the ministers who opposed the new law had to think carefully. In the past, they could have tried their best to oppose the new law under the guise of writing a letter to speak about things, and Song Shenzong could not kill them. From then on, it was different. Song Shenzong was determined to start a murder.

Lu Gongzhu heard it in his ears, as if the end of the world had arrived. He had just understood the truth and was about to do his best to oppose the new law, but he did not expect that Song Shenzong said such words, which was warning them in front of him to be honest in the future, if he dared to say things like before, and find various excuses to oppose the new law and oppose the formation of a new army, he had to consider how many heads he had before.

What made him even more shocked was that Song Shenzong stood up, looked at Mr. Lu, and said, "Mr. Lu, tell Sima Guang what happened today."
