author:Just a little idea

In the spring of the third year of Song Chongning (1104), the emperor in the court was displeased. Cai Jing asked, "Your Majesty, what is wrong with you?" Zhao Tuo was sitting in front of the jade plate, jade cup, and jade, and he said hesitantly: "In a few days, I will feast on the minister, and I want to use these, but I am afraid that people will say that it is too luxurious." ”

Cai Jing smiled and said eight words. "Feng, Heng, Yu, Da" (I Ching) "Only the king will not" ("Zhou Li" will, pronounce "fast" sound. This means that the emperor's expenses do not need to be calculated, and he can spend as much as he wants, and the more the better.

On the other side, an 18-year-old Northwest teenager walked into the barracks and became an archer. His name was Zhang Jun (張俊), a native of Chengji,Fengxiang Province (present-day Tianshui, Gansu).

27 years later, when the elite of the whole country lost their fighting spirit in front of the iron horses of foreign races, the Wu brothers were the first to engage and win the battle. This pair of Twin Stars of Shuchuan, the older brother is called Wu Jie, the character Jinqing: the younger brother is called Wu Xuan, the character Tang Qing.

In the second year of Chongning (1103), it is said that a baby was born in a farmhouse. The child's cry sounded, and a huge bird covered the sky and fell from the sky, hovering over the farmhouse. This farmer, surnamed Yue. Yue Fei was the youngest of these children.

Zhang Jun was unnoticed because he was humble, but this young man surnamed Han was too famous to dare not know him. Born in 1089, his hometown was in Yan'an, northwest (present-day Yan'an, Shaanxi), and he was also a commoner's son, who was only 14 years old at this time, but he was a local figure.

Because he's such an asshole.

The teenager surnamed Han is extremely happy every day, has no home and no job, his parents have died, one person has enough to eat, and the heavens and the earth are open. Of course, in the process of his fullness, the local people in Yan'an were really depressed.

Han teenagers are born with divine powers, and according to legend, in their early 10s, they became the nightmares of local adult men in Yan'an. 10-year-old children, can beat their heads and bleed, nose blue and swollen face, you must know that it is a strong folk style of the Great Northwest, the folk grandfathers are not worse than the soldiers in the army.

If it is only violence, it is better to say that the teenager surnamed Han looks rude, but in fact, he is so shrewd that people are dizzy, which makes people unable to live. Not to mention that I want to deceive him, even to make him happy is very dangerous. Around the age of 14, something happened. Someone approached Han Shaonian and said that Yijun should be a nobleman and ranked third duke. Moreover, Han Shao's real name is in history, the pillar of the country, and he did not talk about it at all.

However, Han Shaonian suddenly became furious and knocked the man down in the street, beating him violently and causing him to be scaled all over his body. Scold me to my face! Who am I, a street thug in a remote mountainous area, actually ranked in the third gong, I hit your grandfather and don't know you!

This is han teenager's style, his fists are mighty, he wants to engage anyone who can make the other party's head break and bleed, even if he is facing the super strong generals of the super strong nation in the future, he is also very shrewd and calm, what is flattering, flattering, deception, traps, basically crooked and evil ways can not hide him, in the future life, the military and political circles are not wrong, not only did the right thing, but also not unlucky.

In the spring of 1103, Han Boy was still happily at large, and it would be another three years before he suddenly woke up, tired of this idle wandering day, and ran to the barracks to become a soldier. His surname is Han, his name is Shizhong, and his character is Liangchen.

Liu Shaonian was the only general of all the countries who was born in the family of famous generals, and his father was named Liu Yanqing, and his official rank was the deputy commander of the Guard Ma Jun, and the envoy of the Baoxin Army. This means that he grew up with access to professional soldiers and trained with the goal of becoming a professional soldier.

With such a background and systematic learning, he should have been the bravest, wisest, and most professional soldier among the teenagers, and he should have made unparalleled contributions to the country. But the wonderful thing is that educational talents can never be compared to self-awakened people. Because self-awakening, self-improvement, is called genius.

His name was Liu Guangshi (劉光世), a native of the Security Army (present-day Zhidan, Shaanxi).

In summary, the six people mentioned above have one thing in common, they are all northerners, except for the children with the surname Yue, the other five are even all northwestern. It was no coincidence that they shared common origins and were both on the battlefield of the Imperial Northwest Army.

Wonderfully, their leader was a Shuchuan man. This Shuchuan man was very young, only 6 years older than the youngest child with the surname Yue, and was born in 1097 in Mianzhu, Hanzhou (present-day Mianzhu, Sichuan). He was a great man, and Zhang Jiugao, the younger brother of Zhang Jiuling, the famous tang dynasty prime minister, was his ancestor. His name is Zhang Jun, and the word Deyuan.

In the seventh year of Song Zhenghe (1107), the construction of Gengyue began. The second step of the project was carried out by a eunuch in the harem. The status of the eunuch Liang Shicheng was transcendent, he was a unique presence in the Zhao Yao era. Liang Shicheng not only secretly manipulated the country, but also influenced the official trend in front of the emperor! No one disobeyed such a thing, and almost the whole country spread that there was a Liang eunuch in the palace, who was better than Zaizhi.

Cai Jing was the prime minister of the empire and had the official right to speak; Tong Guan was an armed eunuch who controlled the strongest military strength in the Northwest Army; and Liang Shicheng was the hidden minister of the empire, copying most of the emperor's strength. Why should another person compete with them?

Cai Jing was good at party strife, Tong Guan was in charge of the military, and Liang Shicheng was promoted to the right and left of the officials, but did not include finances. Xiao Zhu just came to fill the blank. Zhu Xun was the son of Zhu Chong, who took over the major project of renovating Gengyue. Zhu Xun went to the treasury to collect money, and no yamen dared to check his account. While he collected the world's precious properties for the emperor, he also brought the decoration of the homes of the big men in the capital.

In 1103, the seeds of the collapse and continuation of the empire were planted at this time. The party that triggered the collapse was Zhao Tuo and Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Xun and other large moths, and the seeds of continuation were divided by the newborn children with the surname of Yue, and they all began to grow.
