    Gao Taotao and Zhao Hao died. After hearing the news, the other younger sons were horrified and committed suicide one after another.  As for Zhao Zongshi¡¯s other living daughters, Zhao Zhao had no intention of going into details. The women did not pose a threat to the throne, but they were all deprived of their status as princesses.  In order to draw a clear line with the deposed emperor, the former consorts divorced their wives one after another and drove their former golden friends out of their homes. Most of them ended up miserable.  In desperation, the Buddhist temple and nunnery became their only destination, and they could only stay with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng for the rest of their lives.  Zhao Zhao ignored it. He had no mercy in this kind of thing. After all, their parents made mistakes first, and it is only natural that the debts owed by the fathers should be repaid by the children.  Especially when it comes to the fight for the throne, it is more important to talk about principles. It is good to keep them alive. As for what kind of life they live, God has the final say.  After ascending the throne, there will naturally be a series of taboos, homages, titles, and merit-based rewards.  The day after Zhao Zhao ascended the throne, Chai Minyan and others came back.  Of course, they claimed to be imprisoned by Zhao Hao with the intention of threatening Zhao Zhao. Fortunately, they met the kind-hearted chamberlain Xiao Hai, rescued them, and hid in the palace warehouse safely.  At this time, the overall situation has been decided. As long as these things can be justified, who can question their authenticity and reliability?  When Zhao Zhao became emperor, there was no doubt that his aunt Cao would be the empress dowager, but how to arrange the arrangement for his biological mother Lin was a bit troublesome.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUTOUT  In the original time and space, after the death of Song Shenzong, Queen Xiang became the queen mother, but Song Zhezong and Zhao Xu's biological mother, Zhu, was only the concubine.  If my aunt is not here.  It's okay if the biological mother is the Queen Mother.  What should Zhao Zhao do?  Since childhood, he has been separated from his biological mother Lin for twenty years.  Lin also suffered a lot for this.  Even Cao said it.  Mrs. Lin cannot be treated lightly, after all, she is the emperor's biological mother.  Mrs. Cao knew very well that Zhao Zhao was not her biological child after all. Although she was a loving mother and a filial son, she had to think more about everything.  She is already very old and needs to be more tactful in doing things, even if it is not for herself, she has to consider it for the Cao family.  With Cao¡¯s support.  A few things would be much easier to handle.  After Zhao Zhao and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites discussed it, they respected their legitimate mother Cao as the empress dowager, and their biological mother Lin as the empress dowager.  This title originally started in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, but appeared in the Song Dynasty in advance.  The empress dowager and empress dowager of the two palaces share the same respect, and the etiquette system of distinguishing concubines and concubines has not changed, but it highlights the emperor's filial piety.  There is nothing wrong with this. At least the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not object to it, and the response from people all over the world was also very good.  ??Subsequently, Zhao Zhao followed the empress dowagers of the two palaces and named his wife Chai Minyan the queen, and several other wives were named concubines.  The choice for the crown prince was naturally Zhao Hong, the eldest son of Queen Chai Minyan.  ?Although he is just a child.  But the position of the prince must be determined, which is related to the restoration of the country's foundation.  It is related to the stability of the country, the country and the people.  Especially since he has gone through a lot of twists and turns and did not inherit the throne normally, this aspect requires even more attention.  What's more, there will be a personal expedition soon, and with the prince in charge, he is always prepared.  Afterwards, all the meritorious officials were rewarded for their merits, and everyone was very happy.  As for the political situation, the situation on the civil service side was good, with Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo as prime ministers, Ouyang Xiu still preferred to return to his hometown to take care of his old age, and Sima Guang was involved in political affairs.  There are three important ministers in the center of the Song Dynasty, and the stability and efficiency are self-evident.  Han Jiang still served as the privy envoy. During the period when Bianjing was on guard against the King of Qin, he was completely idle at home.  The Third Division and the Sixth Division also immediately began to operate, obeying the new emperor's edict and following the three prime ministers to contribute to the Song Dynasty.  As for the military, the situation is more complicated.  Not to mention the Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army in various places, the imperial court was the core at the local level.  The three main forces of the Song Dynasty.  The Western Army is a direct lineage, and the Jingying camp has now been surrendered. Guo Kui is very knowledgeable and knows that firmly holding on to military power at this time will lead to suspicion.  Anyway, surrendering to Kaicheng is already a great achievement, and there will be no shortage of glory and wealth. Why bother to make the current officials unhappy?  So he directly resigned from Bianjing's military power and handed it over to Zhao Zhao's direct descendants.  Everyone knew this truth. The military power in the capital could only be controlled by the emperor's cronies.  Zhao Zhao is still very satisfied with Guo Kui's attitude.  Therefore, he did not neglect this general. He fought against Jiaozhi in the south and accumulated a lot of practical experience. The Song Dynasty lacked such generals.  Whether it is the current war against the Liao Kingdom or the future war to pacify the south, he will be indispensable.  Therefore, Zhao Zhao immediately transferred him to Hebei Road, where the leadership of the army was in the hands of Xuanfu envoy Wu Chong.  Perhaps he had been neutral between Zhao Zhao and Zhao Xu, but after learning that Zhao Zhao had ascended the throne, Wu Chong immediately expressed his surrender.  In fact, no matter what, he is an official loyal to the Song Dynasty and trustworthy.  ??especiallyRecently, he dealt with the menacing Liao army very appropriately.  Yelu Jun vowed to quickly break through the Song army's border, but so far, he has stalled.  Wu Chong was indispensable for this, and Zhao Zhao issued an edict to encourage and praise him.  Many of the generals on Hebei Road are related to Wen Yanbo, so naturally they have joined him one after another.  In this way, the power of Wu Chong, the envoy of Xuanfu, was restricted, and the military power of Hebei Road was quite balanced.  The decisive battle with the Liao Kingdom was inevitable. Zhao Zhao originally thought that it would be at least a few years later.  But he didn't expect Yelujun to be so anxious and come so fiercely.  He didn't know exactly what the reason was, but since Yelujun was determined, he wouldn't have any fear.  Let¡¯s start the war!  Since it is a decisive battle, then at least the issue of ownership of the Sixteen States of Yanyun must be directly decided. The issue that has been delayed for more than a hundred years must be resolved.  This is also an opportunity for him to establish his authority, completely control the Song Dynasty, and control the situation in the world. Zhao Zhao naturally attaches great importance to it.  It is necessary for the imperial commander to conduct the expedition in person.  Zhao Zhao would not trust such a large-scale war to be directed by anyone, so it would be better for him to take action himself.  It was also to show the determination of the Song Dynasty to resist. In addition, it was also for concerted efforts.  The next Hebei Road will inevitably gather troops from all walks of life, and the Hebei Road army alone is not enough to cope with the overall situation.  It may be possible to defend the city, but if you want to counterattack the Liao Kingdom, you must increase your troops.  It is inevitable to mobilize the Western Army to participate in the war. Zhong Shidao and Liu Changzuo are already on their way to catch up with Xiongzhou. In addition, Shi Jianfei has been reused by Zhao Zhao.  He knows a lot about the Liao army's combat methods and is very helpful in commanding the war. Zhao Zhao is looking forward to his wonderful performance.  In addition, Guo Kui and Di Yong also went to the front line, and even the elderly Yang Wenguang petitioned for war, requesting to fight on behalf of the Yang family generals.  Zhao Zhao felt grateful that he was already old. Although he was still strong, he could not bear to have him go to the front line to work hard and take risks.  At the same time, he was assured that this battle would wash away the shame of Taizong's Battle of Gaoliang River and avenge his old lord Yang Ye.  Yang Wenguang was greatly relieved and cried to see the emperor off, waiting for the good news to come.  At the same time, a large amount of grain, grass and military equipment were also sent to the front line of Hebei Road in time, and the entire Song Dynasty was serving the war.  By the beginning of August, everything was ready. Zhao Zhao led the army and set off to fight against the Khitan!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
