Chapter 1 The Tremor

After the New Year, the dragon standard of the Zhao Song Emperor suddenly turned west and entered the pass, immediately shaking the entire world.

It must be understood that before this, the Great Song already had two complete army groups in Guanzhong, namely the Imperial Left Army commanded by Han Shizhong and the Imperial Rear Army commanded by Wu Jie, with a total of more than 60,000 troops... Of course, even if Han Shizhong's side might still have some legacy issues with troop numbers, after Zhao Jiu directly intervened at the commander level, it was gradually impossible for it to be too different.

Five or six thousand troops were enough to properly deal with the situation in Guanzhong from a defense perspective. If the elite Imperial Forward, Central, and Cavalry armies brought by Zhao Jiu this time were added, the Zhao Song military strength in the Guanzhong area actually reached eighty to ninety thousand. Superficially, it even directly exceeded one hundred thousand. If the Li Yanxian's troops located between Guan and Luo were also considered, then the number of one hundred thousand, even in reality, was definitely more than that.

A solid one hundred thousand troops, plus the transporting laborers and the auxiliary soldiers who would be immediately conscripted once the war started, was the typical routine of 'hundreds of thousands of troops' in the feudal era... In other words, in this era of limited transportation, communication, and simultaneous engagement of forces, the field army that the Great Song had amassed in the Guanzhong area was absolutely capable of launching a decisive battle.

As for the actual situation of the Zhao Song Emperor's dragon standard pouring into Guanzhong together with many famous generals of the Great Song, including Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Li Yanxian, Wu Jie, and Qu Duan, it further increased this possibility, making anyone dare not to neglect it.

As a result, the Jin army began a large-scale mobilization. The troops in Daming Prefecture turned towards the Yellow River coast, and the troops in Hedong immediately moved south to Hezhong Prefecture. Only the Jurchen troops in Longde Prefecture remained silent, because this position was originally very subtle and could be used as a backup depending on the situation.

At the same time, in a hurry, in order to facilitate command, Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty and the Prince of Wei, and his third brother, Wanyan Eliduo, the Prince of Jin, had to temporarily exchange command of their respective troops... Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince, who came to do ideological and political work, officially took over the command of the Hedong and Hexi battlefields, that is, the Western Route Army. At the same time, Wanyan Eliduo, the third prince, left Yanjing with light cavalry and went straight to Daming Prefecture to take charge.

That's not all. Wanyan Xiyin, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, also immediately left the important North China town of Zhending Prefecture to oversee logistics.

For a time, only Wanyan Wuben, the eldest prince and the Prince of Liao, and Qin Hui, who actually had no say at this time, remained in Yanjing to take charge.

Then, the Jin army's fast horse messengers began to travel constantly between key towns such as Yanjing, Zhending, Taiyuan, Daming Prefecture, Longde Prefecture, Xijing (Datong), Yan'an Prefecture, Daning County, and Hezhong Prefecture, and the highest levels of the Jin army were actually exchanging opinions and initiating discussions on the situation in this way.

At this time, the Jurchens had to face an absolute and core difficult problem.

Objectively speaking, the Jurchens were not afraid of war. They could not lose their courage to fight because of the previous defeats. Moreover, at this time, their military strength and combat effectiveness were still undoubtedly superior. But a serious question was, should they cross the river to fight?! Especially since the Zhao Song Emperor clearly stated that they were aiming at Yan'an and the mountainous area of Hengshan in Western Xia behind Yan'an.

It must be understood that in the seven or eight years of the Song-Jin war, aside from regular combat and non-combat attrition, the two biggest pains for the Jurchens came from the Yanling Counterattack and the Yaoshan battle. The former caused the Eastern Route Army to lose the organizational structure of more than a dozen meng'an (units), and the latter caused the Jin army's eastern and western routes to collapse four wanhu (ten thousand households) at the same time, resulting in an actual reduction of about twenty thousand troops.

For the Jurchens who owned the entire North China and the entire Liaodi, the troop numbers could be easily smoothed out and the organizational structure could be easily rebuilt, but what was the price paid for this? Of course, it was a great decline in the upper limit of combat effectiveness.

Frankly speaking, the Jurchens were a little flustered. Although they responded very neatly and properly, in reality, the high-level officials had no preparations for battle, and the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers were unwilling to cross the river to fight on a disadvantageous battlefield and repeat possible failures... At the same time, with the arrival of spring, the Yellow River began to experience ice jams. It was conceivable that after the ice jams ended, the Song army's navy would control the river surface of the lower half of the Yellow River, which quickly made the taken-for-granted idea of opening a new battlefield in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, where the Song army was weak, to make the Song army unable to attend to both ends, quickly fall through.

In other words, the Song army had carefully chosen the time and was obviously prepared.

While the Jin army was flustered, the Western Xia people were even more unbearable... Because of the delay in transportation, the information was in a backlog state there.

Two months ago, the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun received a private taunt from the Zhao Song Emperor, and after thinking about it, it might be a test aimed at his blockade of Hengshan and control of the Fan cavalry... Therefore, Li Qianshun first spent three to five days to calm down (he was, after all, a man in the top ten of the East Asian power list), and then slightly discussed the response with the civil and military officials in the country. After a lot of hesitation, he finally decided to grit his teeth and pretend to be submissive, and sent a letter of surrender to the Great Song half a month after receiving the letter.

Of course, it was impossible to give the Fan cavalry, and it was impossible to smash the monument, and it was impossible to erase the *Lingzhi Song Fu*... The former was called funding the enemy, not to mention, even the latter was a symbolic object of Li Qianshun's cultural achievements and an important witness of his establishment of Han learning as the guiding principle. Moreover, as an emperor who had been on the throne for nearly fifty years and was nearly fifty years old, he couldn't afford to lose that person in the country... He just told the Zhao Emperor and the Song people that he had buried it, anyway, the Song people could not come to Xingqing Prefecture to witness it with their own eyes, right?

The following things need not be said. As soon as the letter was sent out, the Jurchens came to him and vaguely proposed to give land... Li Qianshun was originally dancing on two eggs. Going to the Great Song from the Great Jin some time ago was just a token gesture. Now that the Jurchens said that they would admit Nianhan's promise to give land, Li Qianshun was naturally happy to return to the warm embrace of the Great Jin.

Of course, Li Qianshun was not a fool.

He wanted Yan'an in his heart, and the Western Xia people wanted it in their hearts... It must be understood that when Li Qianshun's mother mobilized the men of the whole country and led him, who was only thirteen years old, on a personal expedition, it was aimed at the Hengshan area. Controlling Bao'an Army, Suide Army, Jinning Army, and Yan'an Prefecture, and grasping all the areas inside the "ji" shape of the Yellow River has always been the ultimate dream of the Western Xia people.

However, what was the price?

How could there be pie in the sky? Lou Shi was dead! What was the title of Han Shizhong, the first famous general of the Great Song and the commander in Guanzhong? Where was his hometown? What was the matter with Wanyan Huonv?

Li Qianshun knew it very well.

Therefore, in the past month or two, the Western Xia Emperor forcibly suppressed the internal restlessness, and at the same time carried out intensive diplomatic contacts with the Jin people, and lavishly bribed Wanyan Elu Guan (Aguda's sixth son, Wushu's sixth younger brother), the garrison of Xijing (Datong) of the Jin Dynasty... According to the idea of the Western Xia Emperor, it was best not to have Yan'an Prefecture, but to take the former territory of Liao inside the Yellow River, the area of Heqing and Ningbian. If the Jurchens were willing to give him the Zhe family of Linzhou, he was willing to make Zhe Keqiu king.

In a word, don't do things that are too exciting. It's most important to make a fortune behind the scenes.

Of course, the Jurchens were not fools either. Seeing that Huonv was going to resolve the matter peacefully, they began to perfunctorily deal with the Western Xia people. In the past two months, let alone Yan'an Prefecture, let alone the Zhe family of Linzhou, they were unwilling to give the Western Xia people even the Heqing Army, a place inside the Yellow River bordering the desert.

For a time, Li Qianshun was so angry that he kept telling his confidants as soon as he went to court, 'The Jurchens won't even give me a Heqing Army'!

The resentment was so heavy that it was beyond words, which was in stark contrast to the surprise when he learned that the Jurchens were going to give land.

It was this surprise and resentment that made the oldest and most politically experienced ruler of the East Asian countries ignore the movements of the Great Song... Li Qianshun did not take the court reports sent by Gao Shouyi seriously, because the discussions and problems of Yan'an Prefecture actually existed, and it was normal for the Song people to complain.

Moreover, according to Li Qianshun's understanding, now that the Song people had greatly publicized the court reports, making them obviously a thing to show to outsiders, then the things issued on them should be symbolic and tentative, and should not be taken as real information.

The *Historical Records* sent by the young Great Song Emperor was more valuable, because that book represented the private attitude of the most powerful man in the world... Even if that man was only in his twenties, about half his age, Li Qianshun.

But then, the Great Song Emperor led his troops to the west for aid, and said that he would fight Yan'an and Hengshan! Then, the Jurchens came again and said that Western Xia should send troops to help defend Yan'an. If they defended it, they would give Yan'an!

Before this had calmed down, a Goryeo person actually came, speaking the Tokyo dialect, and asked Li Qianshun to go to Chang'an to apologize with thorns on his back?!

One after another, it made the emperor of the Great White High Kingdom disgusted.

However, no matter how disgusting it was, the Great White High Kingdom had to respond and react to the matter at hand.

In the imperial court of the Great White High Kingdom, located in the palace at the eastern end of Xingqing Prefecture (Yinchuan in later generations), an imperial conference was being held. The Great White High Kingdom Emperor Li Qianshun, who was nearly fifty years old and full of forehead wrinkles, was sitting upright at the top, with civil and military officials clearly divided on both sides.

Unlike those envoys wearing golden crowns and golden belts (tied with *diedie*), at this time, most of the civil and military officials in the hall were wearing round-necked, narrow-sleeved, tight-fitting clothes, and then the civil officials wore *futou*, and the military generals mostly wore small golden crowns and small silver crowns... As for Li Qianshun himself, he was wearing a high crown, wearing a *tuanlong* robe, and wearing a girdle.

This shape was too different from the dress when Western Xia was founded, but if you look closely, you can show a little bit of Khitan, Han, Western Regions, and grassland characteristics, which can be regarded as a great cultural integration.

Of course, if you look more closely, you will still find an important feature unique to Western Xia, that is, short hair plus a bird-shaped hairstyle.

There was no way, this was a continuation of the policy of 'keeping your head but not your hair, keeping your hair but not your head' when Li Yuanhao founded the country. Even Li Qianshun, who completely overturned the 'Fan rites' and implemented the 'Han rites,' could not shake it, but his sideburns were denser and he tried not to be bald.

Just as this hairstyle implies, the Western Xia Dynasty seems to have never been able to break away from its narrow style.

Back to the present, although the civil and military officials in the hall were orderly, everyone knew that this was not the credit of the 'Han rites,' but that the difficulty of the matter exceeded their imagination, and those with the surnames Li and Wei Ming did not know how to deal with it.

But on the other hand, although the matter was difficult, it was not complicated, so in a sense, there was no need to over-discuss it.

First of all, everyone knew that going to Chang'an was definitely impossible.

Then, Wei Ming Chage, the Prince of Jin, tentatively proposed that they might as well agree to the Jin people's request, send troops to Hengshan, and assist the Jurchens in defending Yan'an... But then he was questioned by the Han Chinese prime minister Xue Yuanli. In the past few months, the Jin people's contempt for the Great White High Kingdom had been very obvious. If they went to Yan'an, what would happen if the Jurchens withdrew and the Song people came again?

Did he, Wei Ming Chage, could fight better than Wanyan Lou Shi in Yan'an, a place full of Han people, and fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Song army?

As a result, this opinion was quickly rejected.

At this time, although no one spoke, the plan was about to come out.

"Then let's do it this way!"

Seeing that no one spoke any more, Li Qianshun thought for a long time, and finally made a difficult decision. "No matter what, Western Xia is just a small country compared to Song and Jin. A small country must have the self-awareness of a small country... All kinds of efforts are just for survival! Prime Minister Xue!"

"Your subject is here." Xue Yuanli immediately came out and bowed his head.

"You will go to Chang'an with that Goryeo person." Li Qianshun said wearily. "Bring fifty camels, one hundred good horses, and choose some goldware. By the way, there is also the white parrot sent from the Western Regions that can recite Buddhist scriptures. I heard that the Zhao Song young emperor is also a person who admires Buddhism, so take it to show him... Be humble in your words when you get there, and promise to open up the Hengshan Fan cavalry and open up the horse market when necessary... And if the Song people ask for the several stockades of Dingbian Army that I personally took after the Jingkang Incident, you can give them to him!"

"Brother Emperor!" Hearing this, Chage, who was in his forties, couldn't help but come out again. "This is funding the enemy."

"It's just an expedient measure!" Li Qianshun was a little annoyed. "Of course I know that it is difficult for the Great White High Kingdom and the Great Song to live in peace, but when there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, you must bow your head when you should bow your head."

Xue Yuanli bowed his head even more, and Chage was speechless.

"As for the Jurchens, Yan'an cannot be wanted, but it must be made clear that we have no intention of opposing the Great Jin. Not only that, when the Great Jin and the Great Song fight each other, the Great White High Kingdom will only help Jin and have no second thoughts..." Li Qianshun suppressed his frown and called out another person. "Bali Zuren... You are my censor, you will go and tell the Jurchens."

A Dangxiang civil official immediately came out and responded carefully.

"That's it, let's all go! The Prince of Jin will go to the harem with me to talk!" Li Qianshun ordered here, and he felt a little impatient. He directly waved his sleeves and got up and went to the back. Only the Prince of Jin Chage followed closely.

And everyone knew that what was next was nothing more than to increase troops to Hengshan, and since the troops were increased to Hengshan, it must be the Prince of Jin who led the troops. The emperor took the Prince of Jin to the harem to discuss it alone, but it made the civil and military officials speechless.

However, Li Qianshun and his younger brother Chage turned to the harem, but they did not directly discuss the matter of sending troops. Instead, they directly summoned several witches in the harem courtyard and asked them to burn mugwort and roast sheep scapula in front of the two brothers. Of course, it was inevitable to dance while energizing the sheep scapula... The process was long and boring, but the two brothers kept silent and just stared at the piece of sheep scapula in the middle of the witches.

After a long time, with a shout from the witch closest to them, like a bolt from the blue, a crack finally appeared in the dry sheep scapula. Seeing this, the two most noble men of the Great White High Kingdom got up together and hurried to the front, ready to carefully look at the shape of the crack.

It turned out that according to the witchcraft tradition believed by the Western Xia people, this act was called 'Zhì Bó Jiāo', which was to look at the gaps in the sheep scapula that were smoked to judge good and bad luck, and two gaps must be burned out before it could be used... Among them, the first gap was the main gap, and the second gap born on the main gap was called the guest gap, which were both extremely important.

According to experience, once the main gap appeared, the guest gap would appear soon.

As expected, not long after Li Qianshun and Chage came to the front, a thinner guest gap was born on the main gap, which was visible to the naked eye. At this point, the witches stopped together, and the witch with the loudest voice wrapped the charred sheep scapula with dry mugwort, preparing to offer it to the Prince of Jin Chage, which meant that Chage would hold it for the emperor to see.

However, Li Qianshun, the Western Xia Emperor who had always respected the Han rites, couldn't wait at all. He actually snatched the sheep bone directly and took advantage of the afternoon sun from the Helan Mountains in the west to look at the lines... However, Li Qianshun, who was usually very good at observing 'Zhì Bó Jiāo', was stunned on the spot as soon as he saw it.

There was no other reason. Although the witches stopped as soon as the guest lines were born, they did not expect that the residual heat of the roasting would work, or that Li Qianshun snatched it too quickly and used too much force... On this main gap, three guest gaps, two long and one short, had been born continuously, and each gap was actually longer and larger than the main gap. The three gaps were woven horizontally, which was really surprising and suspicious.

"This 'Zhì Bó Jiāo' is useless." Chage saw that his brother's face was not good and quickly interjected to comfort him. "Let's do 'Shēng Bó Jiāo' again tomorrow..."

Shēng Bó Jiāo was the second most popular divination method in Western Xia. It mainly involved killing a sheep through a series of steps, and then taking the intestines from the sheep's belly and looking at the distribution of food and feces inside the intestines to make inferences.

"How could it be useless? This kind of thing is supposed to look at the first time..." Li Qianshun helplessly threw the sheep scapula on the ground and shook his head. "It's just that God's will makes this divination beyond what I know, which shows how difficult this time is."

"Just guard Hengshan." Chage quickly persuaded again. "We have fought against the Song people for hundreds of years. Whoever attacks will suffer... We will guard Hengshan, no matter how arrogant the Song people are, they will retreat after a long time. Besides, I thought from the beginning that the Song people were mostly bluffing."

"You don't understand!" Li Qianshun looked down at the sheep scapula on the ground, and sat down on his knees, ignoring his black hands. "Our Great White High Kingdom has been established for a hundred years, but it is only a small country after all... For example, Li Liangfu buried more than 10,000 people in Yinshan before, and the country still cannot recover its vitality. But what about the Song people? They have buried millions of people in those years, but they can still fight back? The Great Song lost the entire Hebei and Hedong, hundreds of prefectures and armies, and can still be so sharp. If we lose Hengshan, it will be the danger of national subjugation. So, even if the Song people are bluffing, can we really ignore it?"

Chage was also a little embarrassed.

"Now I'm afraid that the Song Emperor is too young and wants to force us to fight against us. At that time, the three countries around Hengshan will be at war, and we want to protect ourselves, so we can only be forced to send out the entire army, and the Jin people see us send troops, but deliberately stay still across the river, intentionally consuming us... This is difficult." Li Qianshun gave up staring at the sheep scapula, stood up again, looked up at the Helan Mountains that could be faintly seen in the west, and shook his head even more. "At today's court meeting, Xue Yuanli gave you and me some face... He didn't mention the disaster of Tianyou and Yong'an."

Wei Ming Chage was not too concerned at first, but when he heard the last few words, his expression suddenly changed, and even his eyelids twitched.

The so-called disaster of Tianyou and Yong'an refers to the Western Xia's danger of national subjugation caused by Li Qianshun's biological mother, the Little Liang Empress, who mobilized the strength of the whole country to conquer the Great Song in order to stabilize her own power, regardless of reality.

The first time was in the seventh year of Tianyou Min'an, the Little Liang Empress led her son, mobilized 500,000 people, and invaded the Song Dynasty with the strength of the whole country, advancing to Yanfu Road, which is the area of Yan'an Prefecture, Suide Army, and Bao'an Army. The result was a complete defeat.

The second time was in the first year of Yong'an two years later. At that time, Li Qianshun had barely come of age and had a certain appeal, but he still could not stop his biological mother. So the Little Liang Empress mobilized 400,000 people again and invaded the Song Dynasty with the strength of the whole country. Finally, she was defeated at Pingxia City and had to seek help from Liao to ensure the survival of the Great White High Kingdom.

Moreover, the core area of Western Xia is nothing more than the first two of the three loops of the Yellow River. At the beginning of the founding of the country, it had only more than one million people. Later, it vigorously developed the Hetao and expanded Hexi. At its peak, it had only three million people. And among the three million people, how many men could be conscripted?

Above fifteen and below sixty, 500,000 was the limit of Western Xia.

And once this kind of national war is frustrated, or even without being frustrated, as long as it is maintained for a while, it will cause the decline of the national strength of the entire country. This can be seen from the fact that the Little Liang Empress gave up the more distant Hengshan in the second expedition and chose Pingxia City, which was closer to the capital, as the target, and the mobilized population changed from 500,000 to 400,000.

As for after the second defeat, even the local defense could not be organized, so they could only seek Liao's intervention.

In fact, the two times that the Little Liang Empress courted death were the closest Western Xia came to national subjugation.

This is the sorrow of a small country with few people, even if it is a country founded on military force and a nation full of martial virtues, the upper limit of national strength is here... Once a large army is mobilized, it is the strength of the whole country. Once it is frustrated or returns without success, it will take many years to recover.

What's more, Western Xia's real mobile force is insufficient.

In the two battles, most of the 500,000 and 400,000 were just logistics and transport personnel. The so-called 200,000 troops in the Twelve Army Divisions were even more nonsense. Those were just the Dangxiang and other ethnic tribes that combined the military and the people.

Western Xia's real national army was no more than 70,000 to 80,000 at the limit. And there were garrisons everywhere, and the field army could have four or five thousand at the limit, and the core iron falcon was only a few thousand.

No one knew this better than Li Qianshun and Chage.

In the battle where Wei Ming Chage became famous all over the world, that is, the one where he killed Liu Fa, no matter which side recorded it, it was clear and unmistakable. Although Liu Fa was forced to lead his troops lightly, because he suddenly attacked Lingzhou City, the hinterland of Western Xia, Chage was actually forced to fight to the death... The two sides fought fiercely for a day, and Liu Fa continued to break through, and was finally trapped in a desperate situation and died.

And how many soldiers did Liu Fa have at that time? Twenty thousand.

Chage probably only had 20,000 infantry and several thousand iron falcons, and he won by relying on the typical infantry confrontation and cavalry flanking attack.

Understanding Western Xia's tightness, we also understand Li Qianshun's military and diplomatic philosophy of 'everything for survival, survival is everything', and we also understand why Zhao Jiu wants to bet on this wave. Of course, we will naturally understand why Li Liangfu's battle in Yinshan made Li Qianshun so frightened that he directly killed his legal wife and the most beloved eldest son he had raised.

Because that battle was not just a defeat, but more importantly, the Jurchens showed strong pursuit and annihilation capabilities in the battle... In one battle, the Western Xia people lost thousands of people. The Song people could also do it, but unlike the Song people, the Jurchen cavalry's tenacity played a great role after the war. The continuous pursuit of Wanyan Lou Shi and Wanyan Yin Shuke caused the retreating Western Xia troops to encounter a fatal blow in front of a suddenly rising wilderness river. Countless Western Xia cavalry drowned in that unknown river, which greatly reduced the Western Xia elite troops.

"Outside Hengshan, we can mobilize 50,000 infantry troops. I will give you 30,000, and all 6,000 iron falcons will be given to you." Li Qianshun saw that Chage had finally become serious and cautious, and then said wearily. "You will take them to Hengshan and join forces with Yun Ge, Heda, and the others. Together, you will have a total of 50,000 troops. You can also recruit and use the population in the Hengshan area... I think you can still guard Hengshan for me! But you must never leave Hengshan and take chestnuts out of the fire for the Jin people! This is also the key point that I called you over to specifically tell you! Do you understand?!"

"I understand! Your subject swears to the Buddha that I will never leave Hengshan half a step!" Chage gritted his teeth and swore, but he was still a little worried. "But Brother Emperor, if I take away most of the soldiers, you will only have 20,000 troops here at most. Is it still important? What if the Song people suddenly attack the Hulu River or the Han Sea?"

"If they come from the Han Sea, they will be looking for death. If they come from a place like the Hulu River, they can only bring 20,000 to 30,000 troops at most. Can't I put these 20,000 troops in Lingzhou, watch the Han Sea, and hold the mouth of the Hulu River?" The wrinkles on Li Qianshun's face finally relaxed slightly.

Chage nodded slightly.

Li Qianshun paused slightly, and then, ignoring his black hands, he went directly to touch the 'bird wings' next to his younger brother's golden crown, and then said earnestly: "Chage, go, I dreamed of the Buddha yesterday, he told me that after we get through this, he will definitely let the Great White High Kingdom be passed down for another hundred years!"

Chage looked up in surprise, only to see his brother, who was ambitious and talented, standing in the courtyard of the royal court, wearing a *tuanlong* robe, wearing a high golden crown, one hand touching his own bun, and the other hand behind his back. There was still the smoke of mugwort lingering around, but there was also the early spring sunshine shining from the Helan Mountains in the west, reflecting on the face of the Western Xia Emperor, making it look golden... This scene actually had a bit of sacredness, and even those wrinkles showed a bit of Buddhist principles.

When Chage heard those words and saw this scene again, he was shocked, fearful, happy, and sincere in his heart. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the side of the sheep scapula and replied: "Your subject is willing to fight for his brother and the Great White High Kingdom for another hundred years! And please let the Emperor live another hundred years!"

Seeing this, the witches quickly followed suit and knelt down. The commotion of everyone made the air suddenly filled with the unique smell of mugwort again. After Li Qianshun took a few deep breaths, he also smiled with his hands behind his back, like the Buddha holding a flower... Thinking about it, not to mention the protection of the Buddha and the mountain ghosts, this kind of harmony between the monarch, his ministers, and his brothers is something that the Zhao Song Emperor, who imprisoned his father and brother, cannot compare with.
