Chapter 14 1960s (960)

1. In spring, on the first day of the first lunar month, Guo Zongxun (eight years old this year), the emperor of the Later Zhou Empire (capital of Kaifeng) (the third Emperor Gong), ascended to the Golden Luan Palace to accept the congratulations of civil and military officials.Zhen (Zhengding County, Hebei Province) and Ding (Dingzhou City, Hebei Province) two prefectures urgently reported that the army of the Liao Kingdom (the capital of Linhuang Prefecture) and the army of the Later Han Dynasty (the capital of Taiyuan Prefecture) jointly invaded the south.Guo Zongxun ordered the Commander (Jiedu Envoy) of the Guide War Zone (headquartered in Songzhou) to take charge of the Lieutenant (one of the inspector Taiwei and one of the three princes), and the commander-in-chief of the front guard (the front of the palace) Zhao Kuangyin to lead the Central Committee The Praetorian Guards went north to resist.Zhao Kuangyin held the military and political power for six years, and won the hearts of the army. He followed the second emperor Guo Rong (Chai Rong) several times to conquer the north and south, and made great contributions. Everyone respected him very much.But now, the new king is too young, people are suspicious and uneasy, and the soldiers conspire to support Zhao Kuangyin to usurp power.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Murong Yanzhao, the deputy guard in front of the palace (deputy inspection in front of the temple) and the commander of Zhenning (Chanzhou, headquarters) from Taiyuan (Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) took the lead in dispatching troops. On the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin led the main force and continued northward.At that time, the residents of the capital (Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital) gathered together in groups of three or five, and said to each other: "Push and protect the commander (check Zhao Kuangyin) as the emperor!" Miao, a military astrology observer Hezhong (Yongji City, Shanxi Province) Xun saw another sun under the sun, surrounded by black rays of light, and the friction was agitated. He pointed it to Zhao Kuangyin's close attendant Chu Zhaofu and said, "This is arranged by God!" That night, Zhao Kuangyin arrived in Chenqiaoyi (Henan Province) Southeast of Fengqiu County), the officers and men discussed among themselves: "The emperor is weak, we will fight desperately to defeat the powerful enemy, who knows? Why don't you support the commander-in-chief as the emperor first, and then go north!" Yaya) Li Chuyun, reported the matter to Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, the director of the entourage of the inner palace (only the officials waiting for the worship in the inner palace know) Zhao Kuangyi, and the confidential secretary (secretary in charge) Zhao Pu from Jizhou (Jixian County, Tianjin City) about this matter.Before they finished speaking, the generals had already rushed into the camp with swords in hand, shouting loudly: "The officers and soldiers have discussed and decided to support Marshal Zhao as the emperor." Although it is the destiny, it still depends on the hearts of the people. If you can strictly manage the soldiers and prevent them from plundering, the people in the capital will be stable, and the four sides will naturally submit, and you will be able to maintain your prosperity and wealth." Everyone agreed, so they deployed together.At night, Guo Yanyun, an officer of the garrison (envoy of the guard) was sent to report to Shi Shouxin, the commander-in-chief in front of the palace (commander of the capital in front of the palace), and Wang Shenqi, the chief prosecutor in front of the palace (the envoy of the capital in front of the palace). They are all Zhao Kuangyin's henchmen.The soldiers lined up tensely and waited for the dawn. Zhao Kuangyin was drunk and sleeping soundly in the camp. He didn't know these things at first.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, when it was a little brighter, the generals were fully armed, wearing armor and holding weapons, and knocked on the door of the barracks and reported: "All the generals have no leader, and they unanimously agree to support the commander-in-chief as the emperor." Zhao Kuangyin was surprised. Jumping up from the bed, before he could speak, the soldiers rushed in, and without any explanation, they put the yellow robe worn by the emperor on him, surrounded him, knelt and kowtowed, shouted long live, and put him on his horse and went south.Zhao Kuangyin knew that he couldn't get away, so he pulled the reins and asked the soldiers to answer clearly: "You are greedy for glory and wealth, and you support me as emperor. Will you obey my orders?" Everyone dismounted and said, "Of course." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Empress Dowager (Empress Dowager Fu), Emperor (Emperor Guo Zongxun on Wednesday), I used to serve facing the north; senior government officials, all sat shoulder to shoulder with me. You must not disturb the palace, and you must not insult officials or offend the treasury. Those who obey the order will be rewarded heavily; those who disobey the order will be killed together with their wives and children." Everyone said in unison: "Yes!" Then he rectified his army and entered the city from the capital Kaifeng Renhe Gate (the south gate on the east side of the inner city of Kaifeng) , strict discipline, no infringement at all.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin first sent Pan Mei, the chief protocol officer (envoy of Hakka province) from Daming (Daming County, Hebei Province), to meet the prime minister to convey the news of the coup, and then sent Chu Zhaofu to appease the family.At this time, the prime minister Fan Zhi and Wang Pu from Taiyuan (Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) were meeting with the emperor in the Jinluan Palace. He had not yet retreated from the court. When he heard the news, Fan Zhi came down from the hall and grabbed Wang Pu's hand. Said: "It's our fault to send troops and generals in a hurry!" His fingernails were pinched into Wang Pu's palm, almost bleeding, Wang Pu was speechless and speechless.

The commander of Tianping (headquarters in Yunzhou), the second-level real prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi), the deputy commander-in-chief of the infantry and cavalry of the royal guards (deputy commander of the horse infantry of the guards), Han Tong from Taiyuan, galloped from the palace in panic Wang Yansheng, a native of Luoyang (Luoyang City, Henan Province), who planned to gather troops to resist, the general commander outside the establishment (the scattered members are all commanding envoys, with only official titles and no real positions), met Han Tong on the road, whipped his horse and chased him, and broke into Han Tong's place. At home, Han Tong and his wife were shot to death ("Jian Wen Jin Lu" said that Zhao Kuangyin shot Han Tong to death with an ambush outside the right door).

Under the protection of the generals, Zhao Kuangyin boarded the Mingde Gate (the south gate of the palace city), first ordered the armed soldiers to return to the camp, and then returned to the headquarters by himself, taking off his yellow robe.After a while, the generals flocked Fan Zhi and others to arrive. Zhao Kuangyin wept and said, "I have been deeply gracious and virtuous by Shizong (the second emperor Guo Rong), but now I am persecuted by the army. I am sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth. What should I do?" Fan Zhi and others looked at each other, but before they had time to answer, the commander outside the establishment (commander of scattered personnel) Luo Yanyu from Taiyuan put his hand on the hilt of his sword and shouted sharply: "We have no leader, we must find one today Son of Heaven!" Fan Zhi didn't know what to do while he waited for you to look at me and I to look at you; Wang Pu walked down the steps first and knelt and kowtowed to Zhao Kuangyin, Fan Zhi had no choice but to go down the steps and kowtow to Zhao Kuangyin.So Zhao Kuangyin was invited to Chongyuan Hall to hold the abdication ceremony.The civil and military officials were called urgently, and the train did not stand until almost noon.Tao Gu, a native of Xinping (the county where the Binzhou state government is located · Binxian County, Shaanxi Province), the dean of the Royal Academy of Literature (Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi) (he is famous for framing his benefactor Li Song, refer to November 1948), Take out the abdication edict of Emperor Zhou (the third Emperor Gong) Guo Zongxun from the big sleeves of his unclothed clothes.Zan Jurun (Zan, surname. Sound zan), a native of Gaotang (Gaotang County, Shandong Province), director of court affairs (Xuanhui envoy), guided Zhao Kuangyin to the north of the steps to receive worship.Then the prime ministers helped Zhao Kuangyin to board the Chongyuan Hall, wearing a crown and a gown robe, and officially sat on the throne of the emperor.Civil and military officials knelt and kowtowed to congratulate.Zhao Kuangyin appointed Guo Zongxun as King Zheng and Empress Dowager Fu as Empress Dowager of Empress Zhou, and his mother and son moved to live in the West Palace.Zhao Kuangyin (34 years old this year) issued an edict to announce that his regime was named the Song Dynasty (shortly later, the second emperor Zhao Kuangyi unified China). Because of the remote theater he controlled, the headquarters was located in Songzhou (Shangqiu City, Henan Province), So take the name of the state as the name of the country.The name was changed to Jianlong (the seventh year of Zhou Xiande before, and the first year of Jianlong in Song Dynasty).amnesty.Regardless of the central and local governments, cavalry or infantry are rewarded generously according to their official ranks, and the relevant units are ordered to burn incense to report to the gods of heaven, earth, and agriculture.Send eunuchs to carry the edict and take a stagecoach to announce it to the world.For each theater, another imperial edict is issued.

Chen Tuan, a hermit from Huashan (South of Huayin City, Shaanxi Province), heard that Zhao Kuangyin had seized the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and said: "The world will be peaceful from now on!" The food supply in Kaifeng, the capital, is completely dependent on water transportation, so dredging the canals is the most urgent task.Previously, peasants were recruited every year to dig silt and dig shoals, and the peasants brought their own food. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict that the government should provide food for civilian husbands, and it became a decree.Because of the bumper harvest in Hebei (north of the Yellow River), the price of grain plummeted, so Zhao Kuangyin ordered to buy it at a high price.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Hantong was posthumously given the official title: Supreme Legislative Chief (Zhongshu Ling), and he was buried with proper etiquette. At first, Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin were in charge of the royal guards, but most matters were decided by Han Tong.Han Tong has a straight temper, no scheming, and often offends others with his words. Everyone gave him a nickname: Han Dingyan.His son was very wise and strategic. He realized that Zhao Kuangyin was revered by many people and his prestige was getting higher and higher day by day. He warned his father to deal with him as soon as possible, but Han Tong didn't believe him and was finally killed.

Zhao Kuangyin was very angry at Wang Yansheng's killing of Han Tong without authorization, but because the new regime had just been established, he could only bear it and not express it. ("Song History·Wednesday Official Biography": Zhao Kuangyin went to Kaibao Temple, saw the portrait of Han Tong and his son on the wall, and immediately ordered it to be removed. This reaction showed how much he feared Han Tong.) 2. Song Emperor (first Taizu) Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to Southern Tang Emperor (second Yuanzong) Li Jing (Xu Jingtong, 45 years old this year). Previously, Han Xizai, a legislator (Zhongshusheren) of the Southern Tang Dynasty (the capital of Jinling Prefecture) and a native of Beihai (Weifang City, Shandong Province), returned to China after his mission. Li Jing (Xu Jingtong) asked about the situation of the generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin's looks and eyes are different from ordinary people and unpredictable." Today, everyone admires his observation.

On the 11th day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin rewarded his supporters separately, and transferred Yicheng (headquarters Huazhou) commander (Jiedushi), Dianqian commander-in-chief (Dianqiandu commander) Shi Shouxin, Dangguide (headquarters commander) Songzhou) commander, and deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Guard's infantry and cavalry (deputy commander of the guard's horse infantry).Commander of Tiaoningjiang (Headquarters Kuizhou) (empty official title.

At this time, Suizhou belonged to Houshu) and the commander-in-chief of the infantry (commander of the infantry).Others who have military ranks will be upgraded respectively.

On the 13th day of the first lunar month, thirty-four people including Zhou Cheng, a general of the Zhou Dynasty after the surrender of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the 1950s, were released and returned home. On the 15th of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin sent envoys to various states to help the victims. On the 17th day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Guo Rui, the deputy director of the Houzhou Royal Affairs Department (Zongzheng Shaoqing), to be responsible for offering sacrifices to the Houzhou royal ancestral temple, as well as Songling (the tomb of the first emperor Guo Wei), Qingling (the tomb of the second emperor Guo Rong. Both tombs are located in Guodian, Northwest Xinzheng County, Henan Province).List it as a government decree and worship on time. 3. Previously, the Chief Inspector of the Infantry and Cavalry of the Later Zhou Dynasty (Du Yuhou of the Mabu Army), Han Lingkun from Wu'an (Wu'an City, Hebei Province), led the army to patrol the northern border, and Murong Yanzhao also led the forward troops to Zhending (Zhengding County, Hebei Province) .At this time, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and sent envoys to tell Murong Yanzhao and Han Lingkun that they were free to choose, and both were willing to accept orders. On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin awarded Murong Yanzhao the following titles: Commander-in-Chief of the Guards in front of the Palace (all inspected in front of the Palace), Commander of Zhaohua (Headquarters in Shenzhou) (empty official title. At this time Shenzhou belongs to the Liao Kingdom), Yao Jian The second-level prime minister (same as the third rank under Zhongshumen, the envoy).Han Lingkun was ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the infantry and cavalry of the royal guards (the commander of the guards and horses and infantry), the commander of Tianping (headquarters in Yunzhou), and the second-level prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi·envoy). The prime ministers suggested that Zhao Kuangyin's birthday, February 16, be designated as the "Long Spring Festival". On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin appointed Zhao Pu as a senior adviser to the Legislative Yuan (Zuo Jianyi doctor) and a permanent literary attendant at the Imperial Staff Headquarters (private direct bachelor). Initially, when Zhao Kuangyin was also the commander of Guide (headquarters in Songzhou), Zhao Pu was appointed as the confidential secretary (secretary), and with the military executive (Jiedu judge) Liu Xigu from Ningling (Ningling County, Henan Province), the administrative The executive officer (observing judge) Lu Qingyu from Anci (Langfang City, Hebei Province), and the regent judicial officer (retiring officer) Shen Yilun from Taikang (Taikang County, Henan Province) all served in the shogunate.Now, Zhao Pu was promoted to a high position because he was a hero of Zuo Ming.Zhao Kuangyin successively appointed Liu Xigu as the Senior Advisor of the Supervisory Council (Zuo Jianyi Doctor), Lu Qingyu as the Former Imperial Supervisor (Give Shi Zhong) and Duanming Palace Literary Attendant (Duanming Palace Bachelor), and Shen Yilun as the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Finance of the State Council Director (Doctor of the household department). On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Fu Yanqing, the commander of Tianxiong (Daming Mansion, headquarters), from Wanqiu (Huaiyang County, Henan Province) to serve as the grand master temporarily (one of the three divisions guarding the grand master).Wang Jing, the commander of Xiongwu (headquarters in Qinzhou), was appointed temporarily as the Taibao (the third of the three divisions) in Ye County (Laizhou City, Shandong Province), and he was granted the title of King of Taiyuan County.Destiny is difficult (headquarters in Xiazhou) Commander Xiping Wang Li Yiyin temporarily served as Taiwei (Shou Taiwei · one of the three princes), ordered Nanping Wang (third Zhenyi King) and Jingnan (headquarters Jiangling Prefecture) Commander Gao Baorong (this year 41 years old) temporarily served as the Taifu (Shou Taifu, the second of the third division).All others who are also commanders of the theater will be promoted. On the 24th of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyi, the emperor's younger brother, was conferred with Yao and Muzhou (Jiande City, Zhejiang Province) Garrison Commander (empty title. At this time, Muzhou belonged to Wuyue), and ordered him to change his name to Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Kuangyin went to the National Aristocratic University (Guozijian) to visit and inspect, intending to build a royal ancestral temple and convene a meeting of civil and military officials to discuss. On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Zhao (Zhang Zhaoyuan), the Minister of Defense of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of War) from Puyang (Puyang City, Henan Province), and others reported: "Emperor Yao Yiqi Fangxun (the sixth emperor of the Yellow Emperor Dynasty), Emperor Shun Yao Chonghua ( The Seventh Emperor of the Yellow Emperor Dynasty) and Yu Emperor Yao Wenming (the first Emperor of the Xia Dynasty) built five ancestral temples. The left side (east side) is the Temple of the Second Generation and the Temple of the Fourth Generation (Zhao), and the right side (west side) It is the Temple of the Third Generation and the Temple of the Fifth Generation (Mu). The Ancestral Temple faces the south and is located in the middle. After the founding of the Shang Dynasty, the Ancestral Temple was expanded to six. In addition to the direct blood relatives, the first ancestor Ziqi and the first emperor Tianyi were also worshipped. In the Zhou Dynasty, seven temples were added. In addition to the direct blood relatives, the eighth ancestor Ji Danfu (Taizu), Ji Chang (Wen Wang) and the first Wang Jifa (Wu Wang) were worshipped. The ancestral temple built in the Western Han Dynasty, It does not follow the ancient rituals at all. During the Cao Wei Empire and the Jin Dynasty, the system of seven ancestral temples was restored, and the countries did not change it during the Great Split. But among the seven ancestral temples, the ancestor temples are often empty and have no tablets. The Sui Dynasty The first emperor, Yang Jian, only built four temples for his great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and father. The Tang Dynasty followed the system of the Sui Dynasty and kept four relative temples. This was still the case in the small divisions of the Later Liang Empire. It can be said that it is a compromise method to examine ancient etiquette. Please respect Your Majesty honors the posthumous names and temple names of the four generations of great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather and father, and at the same time enriches the shrines of the ancestral temple." Approved by Zhao Kuangyin.Therefore, the royal ancestral temple system was formulated, and there were five sacrifices in Zheng, April, July, October, and December every year.On the 1st and 15th of each month, the newly harvested grains or other fresh food are used as sacrifices.Every three years, the royal ancestors will sacrifice together (祫祭.祫, sound xia. The object of sacrifice is only ancestors), and the time is scheduled for October of that year.Every five years, the Royal Ancestral Temple Grand Sacrifice (褅祭. 褅, sound di. The objects of sacrifice include not only ancestors, but also meritorious officials) once, and the time is scheduled for April of that year.All of the above were formulated by Dou Yi, a native of Yuyang (Jixian County, Tianjin City), Vice Minister of Defense of the State Council (Military Minister). Zhenzhou (Zhengding County, Hebei Province) reported: "The Liao and Later Han armies retreat on their own." 4. Zhao Hua, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance of the State Council of the Later Han Empire (capital Taiyuan Prefecture), the second-level real prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi), and a native of Xingyang (Xingyang City, Henan Province), was relieved of his position and changed to the top left executive of the State Council Long (left servant shot). 5. Li Jing, the emperor of the Southern Tang Empire (the second emperor of the Yuan Dynasty), sent an envoy to Raozhou (Boyang County, Jiangxi Province) to question Zhong Mo and said: "Sun Sheng died in the week after you went on an embassy with Sun Sheng (refer to 956) November), but you came back safely, why?" Zhong Mo kowtowed to admit his guilt, and then hanged him.The envoy then went to Xuanzhou (Xuanzhou City, Anhui Province) to kill Zhang Luan (the two were demoted, refer to October 1959). 6. On February 5th, Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin presented the title of Empress Dowager, the wife of his mother, Ms. Du, from Nanyang County.Empress Dowager Du is from Anxi (Dingzhou City, Hebei Province).Chenqiao (southeast of Fengqiu County, Henan Province) mutinied, Ms. Du got the news and said: "My son has always had great ambitions, and today he is indeed." , but Ms. Du was worried and unhappy. The attendants on the left and right said to her: "We all know that mother is rich because of her son's wealth. Now that your son is the emperor, why are you unhappy?" Ms. Du said: "I heard that it is difficult to be a leader. The emperor is above all the people. If he governs well, the throne is noble, but once he loses control, he will not be able to be a commoner even if he wants to. This is exactly my worry. .” Zhao Kuangyin kowtowed and said, “Accept mother’s lesson.” Zhao Kuangyin conferred official ranks such as Prime Minister Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu.Wei Renpu was born in Weizhou (Weihui City, Henan Province).Zhao Kuangyin treated these three prime ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty very courteously: Fan Zhiyuan was Situ (the second of the three lords), the second-level real prime minister (Ping Zhangshi), a senior literary attendant of Zhaowenguan (a bachelor of Zhaowenguan), and acting in charge of the imperial court. Headquarters of the General Staff (counseling the affairs of the Privy Council), and the Supreme Superintendent (Servant).Wang Puyuan is the right supreme executive of the State Council (you servant shot), the second-level real prime minister, the curator of national history (supervising national history), acting in charge of the Imperial Staff Headquarters (counseling the Privy Council), and additionally conferring Sikong (the third of the three) .The former official Wei Renpu was the commander of the Imperial General Staff Headquarters (private envoy), deputy legislator (Zhongshu Shilang), second-level real prime minister, senior literary attendant of Jixian Hall (Jixian Temple University Bachelor), and was awarded the right highest executive of the State Council Long (right servant shot).Since the Tang Dynasty, the prime ministers have been in charge of the three halls. The Prime Minister has also served as the Zhaowen Hall, the Second Prime Minister has also served as the National History Hall, and the Second Prime Minister has also served as the Jixian Hall. The Song Dynasty still maintains this tradition.Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, etc. were all exempted from the post of the Imperial Staff Headquarters.Zhao Kuangyin ordered Wu Yanzuo, the commander of the Imperial Staff Headquarters, from Taiyuan (Dayuan City, Shanxi Province), and the second-level real prime minister (the third rank under the same Zhongshumen). According to the traditional practice, when discussing important state affairs, the emperor must invite the prime minister to sit down and speak calmly, and the eunuch will serve tea before exiting.It was still used in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.However, when the Song Dynasty was established, Fan Zhi and others were prime ministers. Knowing that he was a subject of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he had to be very cautious and humble. However, he was afraid of Zhao Kuangyin's wisdom and wisdom, and he was often unable to speak freely. Tiaochen (Zhazi), waiting for instructions, Zhao Kuangyin accepted.Since then, the etiquette of sitting on a chair and discussing state affairs with the emperor has been abolished. Bo Yang said: Zhao Kuangyin was "wise and wise", and the prime minister was afraid and could not speak freely.But it will never be so frightening that the prime minister dare not even sit on his buttocks, but only dares to stand on his legs, let alone be so frightened that he can't speak when he sits, but he can speak eloquently when he stands.The truth of the matter is: they just want to sit and don't have a bench to sit on. "Knowledge Recent Records" records: "It is a traditional custom that when the prime minister reports something, he sits in the golden hall for discussion. On the second day of Zhao Kuangyin's accession to the throne, the prime minister proposed to discuss politics. Zhao Kuangyin said: I can't see clearly, please bring the document closer. When the prime ministers came to him, Zhao Kuangyin secretly sent eunuchs to remove their seats. The prime minister stood there and reported the matter, from this moment on.” This record can explain this change.The Song Dynasty was known as a paradise for intellectuals. In fact, it was just that intellectuals were not easily massacred. In the future, even the royal teachers had to stand when they taught the emperor, and the students sat and listened instead.There was once a failed struggle: In the middle of the eleventh century, the prime minister Wang Anshi believed that the Confucian school always advocated respecting teachers and emphasizing morality, and that royal teachers should have a seat. How dare you underestimate the dignity of the emperor, and don't know the etiquette of superiors and inferiors and the distinction between monarch and minister, you should be severely punished.In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it became more and more degenerate. Not only did the prime minister have no seat, but he had to stand up and kneel to perform his duties, and he had to be stripped of his trousers and beaten with a stick in the court, crying and shaking the sky. The dignity of the Chinese people is even worse. Swept away. 7. On February 9th, Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was promoted to the Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World (Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World), and King Wuyue (the fifth Zhongyi King) Qian Hongchu (32 years old this year) was the Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World.Qian Hongchu's "Hong" character violated the taboo of Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin, so the "Hong" character was removed and the name was changed to Qian Chu (we still use his original name). 8. February 16th is the Changchun Festival of the Song Dynasty—the birthday of Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin.Zhao Kuangyin rewarded each of the civil and military officials with a set of clothes, and the prime minister led everyone to congratulate.Zhao Kuangyin ordered a banquet to be held in Xiangguo Temple (in Kaifeng City) in honor of civil and military officials. Hu Meng, a native of Anci (Langfang City, Hebei Province), was ordered to preside over the central examination temporarily. On February 20, Hu Meng reported that nineteen people including Yang Li from Jingzhao (Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province) had passed the Jinshi section.Since then, it has been established as a system. On February 21st, Zhao Kuangyin held a banquet for civil and military officials again in Guangde Hall.From then on, after the emperor's birthday, he must choose a day to hold a grand banquet. On March 6, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the names of states and counties across the country to be changed if they offended his personal or ancestor names. 9. On March 17, Emperor Li Jing of the Southern Tang Empire (capital Jinling Mansion) sent envoys to the Song Dynasty (capital Kaifeng Mansion) to congratulate Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin on his enthronement. 10. Chen Yanshou, the eunuch of the Southern Han Empire (capital Xingwangfu), told the Southern Han Emperor (fourth term) Liu Jixing (Liu Yi, eighteen years old this year): "The reason why your Majesty can ascend to the throne is because the late emperor (the third term Liu Hongxi) The reason for slaughtering all his brothers." Liu Jixing believed that it was true. On March 18, he ordered the execution of his younger brother, Gui Wang Liu Xuanxing. 11. Qian Hongchu (Qian Chu), the king of Wuyue Kingdom (capital Hangzhou) (the fifth king of Zhongyi), sent envoys to the Song Dynasty (capital Kaifeng) to congratulate Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin on his ascension to the throne. Emperor Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty once again sent envoys to congratulate Zhao Kuangyin on his birthday - the Changchun Festival. 12. In the Song Dynasty, Suzhou (Suzhou City, Anhui Province) suffered a fire that burned more than 10,000 houses. Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin sent eunuchs to the disaster area to appease the victims. On March 22, Zhao Kuangyin presented honorable posthumous titles to his grandparents and parents: his great-grandfather Zhao Tiao was posthumously named Emperor Wen, his temple was named Xizu, and his tomb was called Qinling;His great-grandfather, Zhao Teng, was posthumously named Emperor Huiyuan, his temple was named Shunzu, and his tomb was called Kangling; his great-grandmother, Ms. Sang, was posthumously named Queen Huiming.His grandfather, Zhao Jing, was posthumously named Emperor Jian Gong, his temple was named Yizu, and his tomb was called Dingling; his grandmother, Ms. Liu, was posthumously named Empress Jianmu.Father Zhao Hongyin's posthumous title is Emperor Zhaowu, his temple name is Xuanzu, and his tomb is called Anling. The government of the Song Dynasty believed that the god of protection in the Later Zhou Dynasty was the god of wood, and the god of protection in the Song Dynasty was the god of fire.The representative color of the country is red, and the sacrifice (La Festival) held in December should be on the day with "Xu". On March 24, Zhao Kuangyin sent Wu Sheng (headquarters in Dengzhou) commander Song Yanwo from Luoyang (the county where Henan Prefecture is located) to lead a fleet to patrol the Yangtze River (refer to October 1958), and Shuzhou (Anhui Province) Qianshan County) militia commander (regiment training envoy) Yuancheng (the county where Daming Mansion is located) Si Chao served as his deputy. According to the usual practice, he first wrote to Emperor Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty, telling him the reason for dispatching the fleet. On March 30, the emperor's younger brother Zhao Guangmei (Zhao Kuangmei) was appointed as the commander of the Jiazhou (Leshan City, Sichuan Province) Garrison District (an empty title. Jiazhou belongs to Houshu at this time). 13. Earlier, the Later Han Empire lured the barbarian tribes in Daibei (northern Shanxi Province) to harass Hexi (northern Shaanxi Province), which belonged to the Song Dynasty government.

On April 8, Wang Yansheng was appointed as the militia commander (regimental envoy) of Tangzhou (Tanghe County, Henan Province).Tangzhou originally had a governor, and has been promoted to a higher level since then. 15. The Liao army invaded Dizhou (Huimin County, Shandong Province), which belonged to the Song Dynasty.

The attendants and officials earnestly persuaded him to receive him. A banquet was held amidst the sound of music, but soon he took out the portrait of Guo Wei, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty (Taizu) and hung it in the hall, weeping. endlessly.The guests were very frightened and told the envoys: "Our commander-in-chief loses his composure as soon as he drinks, please don't be surprised." Later Han Emperor (fourth Ruizong) Liu Chengjun (35 years old this year) got the news and sent spies to deliver letters with wax pills , Asked to go south with Li Yun at the same time.Li Yun's eldest son Li Shoujie cried and persuaded him, but Li Yun refused.Zhao Kuangyin wrote an imperial edict to comfort and appease him, and summoned Li Shoujie to be the administrator of the imperial city (envoy of the imperial city).Li Yun then sent Li Shoujie to the capital (the capital Kaifeng) to check on the situation. As soon as Zhao Kuangyin saw Li Shoujie, he called out, "Prince, why are you here?" Li Shoujie was startled, hit the ground with his head, and said: "Your Majesty, someone must have slandered our father and son!" Zhao Kuangyin said, "I heard that you kept advising your father, but your father didn't listen, so he sent you here just to ask me to kill you. Go back and tell you Dad: When I was not the emperor, you could do whatever you want, since I have become the emperor, can't you let me go a little bit?" Li Shoujie flew back to report to Li Yun, and Li Yun ordered his staff to write a proclamation, Zhao Kuangyin was declared guilty of usurping the throne. On April 14th, Li Yun arrested Zhou Guangxun, the supervising officer, and sent Liu Jizhong, the camp gate officer (Yajiang), to escort them to Taiyuan (the capital of the Later Han Dynasty), and sincerely asked for support.At the same time, he sent troops to attack Zezhou (Jincheng City, Shanxi Province), killed the governor Zhang Fu, and occupied the city.Chief of Staff Luqiu Zhongqing (Luqiu, compound surname) suggested to Li Yun: "You use a lone army to raise the flag of rebellion. The situation is very critical. Although relying on the support of the later Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be of much help. Daliang ( The armed forces in the city where Kaifeng Mansion is located are all elite and difficult to fight against. You'd better lead your army southward, cross the Taihang Mountains, and reach the two prefectures of Huai (Qinyang City, Henan Province) and Meng (Mengzhou City, Henan Province) to block the Hulao (West of Sishui Town, Xingyang City, Henan Province), defending Luoyang and conquering the world eastward is the best plan." Li Yun said: "I am a veteran of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and I have a close relationship with the first emperor (the second emperor Guo Rong) Brother, the generals and soldiers of the Royal Guards are all old friends of mine, when they hear me coming, they must turn their weapons and surrender to me, how can it be unsuccessful!" Luqiu Zhongqing's strategy is not used. On April 17, news of the Zhaoyi mutiny reached the capital.Wu Yanzuo, the commander of the Imperial Staff Headquarters (private envoy), said in a report: "The mountains in Luzhou are dangerous. If the bandits (Li Yun) stick to the city, it may be difficult to break through for months or even years. However, Li Yun has always been proud and frivolous. Without resourcefulness, the government should attack with haste." On April 19, Zhao Kuangyin sent Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide to set off as a forward.In particular, Shi Shouxin was instructed to say, "Li Jun will never be allowed to take a step out of Taihang Mountain. If you rush forward and control the dangerous barriers of Taihang Mountain, you will definitely be able to defeat him." He also summoned Qinghe, the director of the Central Finance Department of the Three Departments (the third envoy) Zhang Mei, a native of Qinghe County, Hebei Province, is in charge of logistics and allocating food and salaries.Zhang Mei said: "Ma Lingcong, the famous governor of Huaizhou (Qinyang City, Henan Province), speculated that Li Yun must have resisted the government, saving food and grass day and night, and waiting for the central army."Prime Minister Fan Zhi said: "The Central Northern Expedition depends on Ma Lingcong's logistics support, and he should not be transferred away."

On May 3, Zhao Kuangyin promoted Mingzhou (Yongnian Town, southeast of Yongnian County, Hebei Province) militia commander (regiment training envoy), and Guo Jin from Boye (Lixian County, Hebei Province) to be the commander (defense envoy) of the garrison area of ​​Honshu Island, and concurrently Shanxi ( To the west of Dahang Mountain · Shanxi Province) Inspector (inspection), to prevent the army of the later Han Dynasty from going east. 19. Emperor Liu Chengjun of the Later Han Dynasty (the fourth Ruizong) sent Li Bi, the administrator of the imperial garden (envoy of the inner garden), to reward Li Yun with edicts, gold and silver, silk and satin, and horses.Li Jun then sent Liu Jichong to Jinyang (the county where Dayuan Prefecture, the capital of the Later Han Dynasty), asked Liu Chengjun to go south with all his strength, and he himself acted as a guide.Liu Chengjun immediately sent envoys to Liao to ask for military support.The army of the Liao Kingdom had not yet assembled. Liu Jichong relayed Li Yun's meaning and suggested that the help of the Liao Kingdom was not needed.Liu Chengjun immediately held a military parade, mobilized all the troops in the country, marched in person, and went out to Baigu (southeast of Qixian County, Shanxi Province); civil and military officials held a farewell banquet on the bank of the Fenshui River. : "Li Yun acted rashly, the matter will never succeed, His Majesty came out empty-handed, I do not see the possibility of victory."

Liu Chengjun specially allowed Li Yun not to write his name on the memorial and to sit on top of Prime Minister Wei Rong, and named him King of Xiping.Li Yun found that Liu Chengjun's guard of honor and guards were small in number and weak in combat effectiveness, and felt very regretful.He also claimed to have received the kindness of the Queen Zhou royal family and could not bear to let him down.However, Hou Han and Hou Zhou were feuds, and Liu Chengjun was not happy when he heard Li Yun's words.Li Yun was about to return to the defense, and Liu Chengjun sent Lu Zan, the director of court affairs (Xuan Hui envoy), to go south with him. When he was his supervisor, Li Yun became more and more out of balance.Lu Zan once went to see Li Yun to discuss things, but Li Yun ignored him, Lu Zan was furious, flicked his sleeves, stood up and left.Liu Chengjun heard that Lu Zan and Li Yun had a grudge, so he sent Prime Minister Wei Rong to the army to mediate between them. Li Yun left his eldest son Li Shoujie to guard Shangdang (the county where the Luzhou government is located), and personally led 30,000 troops to head south. On May 5th, Shi Shouxin, the Song government's Northern Expedition to the West, defeated Li Yun in Changping (northwest of Gaoping County, Shanxi Province) and conquered Dazhai Village (northwest of Gaoping County). 20. On May 6th, Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to remove Li Yun from all official titles. 21.

五月二十四日，赵匡胤抵达荥阳（河南省荥阳市）。西京（河南府·河南省洛阳市）留守长官、河内（河南省沁阳市）人向拱（向训）劝告赵匡胤说：“我们应该火速渡过黄河，越过太行山，趁盗匪（李筠）还没有集结完成，迎头痛击。如果拖延十天八天，他们的气势将更高涨！”帝国参谋总部常设文学侍从官（枢密直学士）赵普也警告说：“盗匪认为新政权刚刚建立，大军不能出征，我们如果加倍速度前进，出他意料之外的发动攻击，可以一次战斗就把敌人制伏。”赵匡胤接纳二人的建议。 五月二十九日，石守信、高怀德在泽州（山西省晋城市）南击破李筠三万余人大军，生擒后汉河阳（总部孟州）司令官（空头官衔。此时孟州属宋王朝）范守图，格杀卢赞。李筠退回泽州，加强守备。 本月（五月），永安（总部府州）司令官云中（山西省大同市）人折德扆，在沙石寨（今地不详）击破后汉军队，杀五百人。折德扆，是折从阮（折从远）的儿子（参考九五〇年五月二日）。

李筠性情虽然暴躁，但对娘亲却非常孝顺。每次大发脾气要杀人的时候，娘亲在屏风后呼唤他，他一定应声而到，娘亲说：“听说你要杀人，不知道可不可以免他一死，只是为我们自己求福罢了。”李筠就会下令释放。 24、后汉帝（四任睿宗）刘承钧接到李筠兵败消息，自太平驿逃回晋阳，对赵华说：“李筠果然不能成事，像你所预料的一样，可庆幸的是，我们全身而退。可惜损失卫融、卢赞！”赵华不久请求退休，刘承钧发给他终身俸禄。命皇家文学侍从院院长（翰林学士承旨）、国务院国防部长（兵部尚书）蓟州（天津市蓟县）人赵弘当副立法长（中书侍郎），兼国务院国防部长（兵部尚书）、二级实质宰相（平章事）。

最初，后汉宰相卫融被宋军生擒，赵匡胤诘问说：“你教唆刘承钧、李筠叛国谋反，为什么？”卫融回答说：“我像狗一样，只吠叫不是主子的外人，我无论如何都不会辜负刘家（后汉）。”并且声明说：“陛下纵然不杀我，我也不会为陛下工作。”赵匡胤大怒，命左右侍卫用铁锤捶击他的头部，卫融血流满面，大喊说：“我找到我死的地方！”赵匡胤说：“真是忠心耿耿，放开他！”命用最好的药品救治。教他写信给后汉帝（四任睿宗）刘承钧，要求交还周光逊等，归附投降，答应送回卫融。刘承钧不理。 七月十三日，赵匡胤任命卫融当宫廷库藏部长（太府卿）。 前司空（三公之三）赵国公爵汝阴（安徽省阜阳市）人李穀，退休后回到西京洛阳，李筠认为李穀是后周帝国时代著名宰相，特别赠送五十万钱，其他的礼物价格也约略相等，李穀接受。后来，李筠起兵反抗中央，李穀忧虑自恨，一病不起。 七月十七日，李穀逝世，赵匡胤十分哀痛，特为他停止早朝两天，追赠最高监督长（侍中）。李穀对问题的分析，十分精密，尤其知人善任，援引很多贫寒出身、孤单无依的知识分子，其中很多人都做到高官。 七月二十日，赵匡胤在礼贤讲武殿，设宴款待韩令坤等，赏赐他们平定李筠的功劳。 27、七月二十五日，辽国宰相（政事令）耶律寿远、太保（三师之三）楚阿布（库阿布）等，阴谋叛变，全被诛杀。 辽帝（四任穆宗）耶律述律在黑山（内蒙古呼和浩特市北）用美酒、干肉，祭祀天地。 28、最初，宋王朝成德（总部镇州）司令官金城（山西省应县）人郭崇威（郭威），听到赵匡胤篡位成功消息，回想后周二任帝郭荣（柴荣）对他的恩德和知遇，有时忍不住流泪哭泣，监军官陈思诲秘密奏报，警告说：“常山（北岳恒山·河北省曲阳县北）接近边界，中央应该暗中准备。”宋帝赵匡胤说：“我知道郭崇威重视恩德情义，他之流泪，只是触景生情，有感而发！”派使节前去侦察。郭崇威忧愁悲愤，进退失据，行政执行官（观察判官）孝义（山西省孝义市）人辛仲甫说：“当初，你第一个表示诚心拥护，无论军队人民，都平安正常，中央虽然想加罪名，又用什么借口？使节来的时候，你只管率领官员们到郊外迎接，毕恭毕敬，竭力表示恭顺，随他逗留考察，误会自当辨明。”郭崇威听他的意见。使节回京奏报说：“郭崇威没有别的想法！”赵匡胤欢喜说：“我早就知道郭崇威不会背叛！” 赵匡胤命昝居润暂代镇州（河北省正定县）州长。这是第一次用代理州长（知州事）占战区司令官缺额。 29、七月二十七日，南唐帝李璟向宋帝赵匡胤进贡白金，作为庆祝平定潞州的贺礼。 30、宋帝赵匡胤下诏，命“殿前”“侍卫”两亲军司令部各自检查自己的部队，选拔骁勇战士升作“上军”；命全国各州长也在各州民兵中选拔，选拔出来后，送到京师，补充中央禁军的空缺。又选拔体格强壮的战士，分别送往各战区道当做招募新兵的标准，施以军事训练，等到训练完成，再送到京城。自这时候开始，粗犷强悍的青年勇士，都被编入中央禁军。宋政府警惕到唐王朝以来，战区制度是形成军阀割据的主要原因，于是订定“轮调制”，边防部队不由战区派遣，而由中央禁军负担，让他们来往京师跟边界之间，训练他们吃苦耐劳。从此以后，将领们没有固定的部队，而士卒也不会骄傲惰怠，这都是赵普的规划。 八月一日，赵匡胤登崇元殿，恢复唐王朝时代传统的皇帝早朝制度：建立仪仗卫队，实行入阁礼（由正殿进入便殿礼仪），设置“待制官”（宫殿轮值官员）及“次对官”（第二梯次晋见皇帝官员）。退朝以后，“常参官”（有资格出席朝会官员）退到廊下，由皇帝赏赐饮食。 八月三日，赵匡胤在广德殿设宴款待最亲近的官员。南唐（首都金陵府）跟吴越（首都杭州）派来的朝贡特使（朝贡使），都参加这项宴会。 八月五日，在贝州（河北省清河县）重设永清战区（永清战区撤销，参考九五四年十月）。 保义（总部陕州）司令官河东（山西省永济市）人袁彦，听到赵匡胤称帝消息，日夜不停地修理铠甲，磨利武器。赵匡胤担心有什么变化，派潘美前去当他的监军官。潘美单人匹马进陕州城（河南省三门峡市），劝告袁彦朝见，袁彦立刻准备行装动身。赵匡胤大喜，对左右侍从说：“潘美不杀袁彦，完成我的心愿！” 八月九日，调袁彦当彰信（总部曹州）司令官。 赵匡胤又调忠正（总部寿州）司令官杨承信当护国（总部河中府）司令官。杨承信到河中（山西省永济市）就职，有人告密说杨承信阴谋反抗中央，赵匡胤派宫廷技工副管理官（作坊副使）相州（河南省安阳市）人魏丕，携带赐给杨承信的生日礼物，前往察看。魏丕回来，奏报说：杨承信没有叛变的情形。杨承信因此得以在任上寿终正寝。 忠武（总部许州）司令官兼最高监督长（兼侍中·使相）阳曲（山西省阳曲县）人张永德调作武胜（总部邓州）司令官，进足朝见，追随赵匡胤游逛御花园玉津园。当时正跟后汉冲突，赵匡胤向他秘密询问有什么策略，张永德说：“后汉的部队虽然人数很少，但战斗力却很强悍，加上辽国的支持，未必能仓促间取得决定性胜利。我认为每年都派大量游骑兵，每当播种或收割时期，就用武力骚扰，同时派出反间，断绝辽国对它的援助，然后才可以达到目的。”赵匡胤说：“对极！” 八月十五日，赵匡胤命皇弟、殿前总纠察官（殿前都虞候）、睦州（浙江省建德市）警备司令官（防御使）赵光义（赵匡义）遥兼泰宁（总部兖州）司令官。 八月十七日，赵匡胤封正妻琅邪郡夫人王女士当皇后。王皇后，是华池（甘肃省华池县东南东华池）人，是彰德（总部相州）司令官王饶的女儿。 八月十九日，宋政府制造新的标准秤，颁发全国使用，禁止私人制造。 八月二十一日，任命赵普当国务院国防部副部长（兵部侍郎），充当帝国参谋总部指挥官。先前，赵匡胤北征李筠时，赵普请求随同大军行动，赵匡胤笑说：“赵普难道不怕被盔甲压垮！”现在论功行赏，赵匡胤说：“赵普的功劳应列在优等。”遂升到这个位置。 31、南平王国（首都江陵府）荆南（总部江陵府）司令官、暂任太傅（守太傅·三师之二）兼最高立法长（兼中书令·使相）南平王（三任贞懿王）高保融病重，他的儿子高继冲年纪还小，无法继承王位，于是命他的老弟、作战参谋长（行军司马）高保勖总管中外兵马（总判内外军马事）。 八月二十七日，高保融逝世（本年四十一岁）。奏报宋王朝政府，宋帝赵匡胤赏赐葬仪，追赠太尉（三公之一），谥号贞懿王。 高保融性情迂阔，行动缓慢，无论统杂军队，治理平民，都毫无章法，高姓的统治局面，开始衰退。 32、八月二十八日，南唐帝李璟派使节到宋王朝，祝贺宋帝赵匡胤回京。 33、本月（八月），辽帝（四任穆宗）耶律述律前往秋山（今地不详），再往怀州（内蒙古巴林左旗西）。 耶律述律生性凶恶野蛮，喜爱杀人，曾在暴怒之下，用镇席石狮子（镇茵石狻猊）击杀贴身侍从古哥（古格）。之后，包括宦官，以及早餐管理官、鹿场管理官、鸡场管理官、狼场管理官、猪场管理官，很多人并没有犯罪，却被处死。 34、九月五日，宋王朝昭义（总部潞州）司令官李继勋，攻击后汉平遥县（山西省平遥县），纵火焚烧。 九月九日，宋帝赵匡胤登崇元殿，依照礼仪，册封皇家四座祖庙。 九月十二日，立法官（中书舍人）怀戎（河北省怀来县）人赵行逢，因随从大军北征时，畏惧艰难，逃避责任，贬作房州（湖北省房县）户籍官（司户参军）。赵匡胤亲征泽（山西省晋城市）、潞（山西省长治市）时，山路崎岖狭窄，又布满大小石头，赵匡胤亲自拣起几块，骑到马上搬送，文武百官及所有北伐军将士，都争着拣起石头开道。只赵行逢不敢冒险跋涉，假装脚部受伤，不能行走，遂留在怀州治疗，不再前进。大军胜利班师，赵行逢应该到皇宫值班，他畏惧辛苦，又声称有病，请求准许他留在家里撰写诏书。赵匡胤震怒，命总监察署（御史府）弹劾他的罪行，遂把他罢黜贬逐。 35、后周摄理太尉（检校太尉·三公之一）、淮南（总部扬州）司令官沧州（河北省沧州市东南）人李重进，是后周一任帝（太祖）郭威的外甥（参考九五二年七月）。 最初，李重进跟赵匡胤共同侍奉后周二任帝（世宗）郭荣，分别掌握兵权，因赵匡胤英明雄武，李重进心里有点忌惮。后周三任帝（恭帝）郭宗训继承帝位，李重进出任淮南（总部扬州）司令官。后来，赵匡胤登基称帝，命韩令坤取代李重进的位置。李重进请求到京师朝见，赵匡胤下诏阻止，李重进越难平衡。 李筠在泽、潞起兵，李重进派他亲信侍从翟守珣从小路北上跟李筠结盟。翟守珣却秘密请求晋见赵匡胤，说出李重进已怀二心。赵匡胤重赏翟守珣，让他说服李重进延后行动，不要发生两大战区同时起兵情况。翟守珣返回扬州（江苏省扬州市），劝告李重进不可以轻率发动，李重进相信。等到赵匡胤击败李筠，打算经营淮南（淮河以南），于是调李重进当平卢（总部青州）司令官，又派亲王住宅管理官（六宅使）陈思诲携带“免死铁券”前往，作为安慰。但李重进认为自己是后周郭姓皇家至亲，恐怕最后无论如何都难以活命，于是逮捕陈思诲，修筑城墙、整理铠甲、磨利武器。一面派人向南唐请求支持，南唐帝李璟拒绝使节入境。 赵匡胤得到李重进聚众起兵消息，任命石守信当扬州特遣兵团总司令（扬州行营都部署），兼主管扬州特遣州政府（兼知扬州行府事）：命王审琦当副手、李处耘当总辅导官（都监）、宋延渥当阵地总督战官（都排阵使），率中央禁军讨伐李重进。 36、吴越王国（首都杭州）宁国（总部宣州）司令官（空头官衔。此时宣州属南唐）吴延福，是吴越王（五任忠懿王）钱弘俶（钱椒）的舅父。有人密告吴延福阴谋叛变。 九月二十三日，钱弘俶派内营指挥官（内牙指挥使）薛温，率军包围吴宅，逮捕吴延福兄弟五个人；睦州（浙江省建德市）州长吴延遇，恐惧过度，自杀。大家打算把五个人全部处死，钱弘俶流涕哭泣说：“他们是我娘亲的骨肉，我怎么能忍心把他们诛杀！”于是全部免除官职，分别流窜各州，保全了娘亲家族。 37、九月二十六日，宋帝赵匡胤下诏剥夺李重进所有官爵。 赵匡胤再下诏说：“文武常参官（有资格出席金殿朝会的官员）请病假超过三天，主管官员应专案奏报，当派御医诊治。” 38、本月（九月），吴越开始酒专卖。 39、最初，宋王朝李筠聚众起兵时，曾派使节联络建雄（总部晋州）司令官真定（河北省正定县）人杨廷璋。杨廷璋的妹妹，是后周一任帝郭威的小老婆。宋帝赵匡胤疑心他另有企图，命郑州（河南省郑州市）警备区司令（防御使）信都（冀州州政府所在县·河北省冀州市）人荆罕儒当晋州（山西省临汾市）兵马司令（兵马铃辖），随机应变。荆罕儒打算刺杀杨廷璋，所以每次见面，怀中一定暗藏短刀。但杨廷璋以至诚相待，荆罕儒不敢发动。正巧，赵匡胤下诏召见杨廷璋前来中央
