Chapter 11 Chapter 11 The Birth of the Northern Song Dynasty

Regardless of whether it was bricks or pies that fell from the sky, Zhao Kuangyin took office in the end—everyone checked in front of the hall!But when he sat on the throne of the No. 1 soldier in the Later Zhou Dynasty, he realized how uncomfortable it was to be Chai Rong's enemy. He realized that he had been tricked by the dead Chai Rong. It was true that he was the number one soldier, but there was no order that he could issue alone and take effect immediately.There are so many high-ranking officials in the capital, among other things, he first crushed three prime ministers—Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu.Forget about the latter two, the brother named Fan is really helpless.

Fan Zhi is talented and stubborn, and he is very bossy, daring to make any decisions——When Chai Rong was about to die, he invited Fan Zhi and others into the palace to accept the edict. My dear friend, if I can't afford it, I should call him into the phase, and fortunately, I will never forget him!" But Fan Zhi turned and went out of the palace, and immediately said to the ministers who were traveling with him, "Wang Zhuo Ri is a drunkard in a drunken town, how can he be considered a phase? This must be a disorderly order by the Lord, and it is inconvenient to follow it. I hope that we will not reveal this to each other."

You see, no matter whether Fan Zhi is for the sake of the court or not, at least the prime minister of Wang Zhu has been erased.Even Chai Rong, who is still alive, dares to lie, so what is Zhao Kuangyin, a small one who has just taken office and has no basic qualifications? And not only that, even in the army, Zhao Kuangyin found that he was not worthy of his name. The real military power was in the hands of Dianqian Division's arch-nemesis, the Commander of the Mabu Army of the Guards, specifically, Han Tong, the Deputy Commander of the Guards Division.Han Tong was deeply trusted by Chai Rong, and whenever Chai Rong went to war, he would cooperate with Wang Pu to stay in the capital.This person is reckless, irritable, and nicknamed "Han Duanyan", but he has one advantage that other people can't match - he is loyal and will never defect to the enemy (this time Chai Rong chose the right person, Han Tong really did not let him down ).

In this way, coupled with the appointment of Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong achieved the result he wanted. That is the major affairs of the court, and Fan Zhi and other three senior prime ministers are in charge; Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin are both transferred out of the capital in the army to guard the frontier, and the forbidden army is under the control of Han Tong. In order to contain Han Tong, he appointed Zhao Kuangyin as the guard His deadly enemy, the leader of the Dianqian Division.This kind of internal and external balance, no one can do it. As for Zhao Kuangyin, although he has risen rapidly, his qualifications are too low and his age is too young. Even if he wants to make trouble, he has no appeal. His threat can be ignored for the time being.By the time he is also senior, the seven-year-old little emperor must have grown up.

In this way, every link in the military and political system has completed mutual containment, so that they can operate without collusion. After seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin became very depressed.He felt that he was still too young, and the emperor's heart was unpredictable. Chai Rong really gave him a vivid and realistic version of political theory and practical lessons.But he did not despair either. The 34-year-old Chai Rong was able to defeat his mortal enemy Liu Chong in one battle and stabilize the country. Zhao Kuangyin is also 33 years old this year, and he also has his own way. To everyone's surprise, Emperor Shizong Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty passed away in June of that year, and Zhao Kuangyin left the capital Kaifeng in July to work and live in other places.His reason was very legitimate and impeccable - to go to Guide Mansion, which was his territory, where there were many piles of daily tasks that he needed to deal with.

Neither Fan Zhi nor Han Tong had the slightest objection to his request. This is very good, there are not many of you in the capital, and there are many who lack you. It is best for you to stay in Guide Mansion for a few more days, and the later you come back, the better.Of course, you can take away as many people as you can, such as your staff, such as Zhao Pu, Chu Zhaofu, Wang Renshan, etc., take them all away, and don’t stay in the capital to cause trouble for us. But, don't forget the most critical one, you have to keep your family. This is in line with the rules. Faced with all kinds of demanding demands, Zhao Kuangyin complied with them one by one, only to be able to go to the work unit to work normally.So he left his whole family behind and reported to Guide Mansion (now Shangqiu, Henan) in July of that year.After that, in the historical records, it is completely impossible to find any special behaviors in the officialdom between July 959 and the end of that year.But Hou Zhou's officialdom has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past six months.

Everything went smoothly and silently. The changes are mainly in the military world. First of all, in the Dianqian department system, the position of the Dianqian deputy inspector who has been vacant has been filled by Murong Yanzhao.This brother Murong is Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, and his relationship is so close that he no longer needs to be included in the "Ten Brothers of Yishe".Because they have been brothers for a long time, it will hurt feelings to mention it again; Wang Shenqi is the governor of the capital in front of the palace, and this person is one of Zhao Kuangyin's "ten brothers"; and between Murong Yanzhao and Wang Shenqi is Shi Shouxin (does he still use introductions?), he will be the commander of the front of the palace, which is Zhao Kuangyin's previous official position.

In the guard department, I really don't know what happened. Zhao Kuangyin's original political enemy, the guard infantry commander Shi, Caozhou Jiedu envoy, and the inspector Taibao Yuan Yan were kicked out of the imperial army, and they were first promoted to inspector Taifu. Then he left Beijing directly and went to Shanzhou to be a Jiedu envoy; his position was replaced by the former commander of Hujie Zuoxiang, Changzhou defense envoy, and inspector Sikong Zhang Lingduo, specifically Suizhou Jiedu envoy and guard infantry capital Commander, inspector Taibao; then guard Ma Jundu Commander, Chenzhou Jiedushi, inspector Tai Fu Han Lingkun as guard Ma Budu Yuhou, and inspector Taiwei; Hujie Left Chamber Commander, The defense envoy of Yuezhou and the school inspector Situ Gao Huaide was the Jiedu envoy of Kuizhou, and served as the commander of the guards and horse troops, and the school inspector and Taibao (do you think the name is too long and annoying to remember at all? The more you become an official later The more titles there will be, the more complicated the names will be. This is the characteristic of the Song Dynasty, and it is Zhao Kuangyin's favorite, and there are great national policies in it).

Did you see the point?Zhao Kuangyin's enemies were expelled from the country, and his brothers and friends were all placed in various important departments.Especially on the side of his hostile force, the Department of Guards. Please see the detailed introduction: Han Lingkun has been Zhao Kuangyin's friend for a long time, Zhang Lingduo is a well-known "benevolent" person, and never easily opposes others, and after a year, he and Gao Huaide became Zhao Kuangyin's family—— Gao Huaide married Zhao Kuangyin's younger sister, and Zhang Lingduo's daughter married Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangmei.

However, there are still two top officials of the guard department left, which Zhao Kuangyin can't handle, that is, the commander of the guard Sima Budu Li Chongjin, unfortunately he is in Yangzhou; and the deputy commander of the capital Han Tong, he is famous, Staying in Kaifeng, deterring the overall situation, is the protector of the whole army and even the people of the whole country.He is so great that he must face the whole pack of wolves alone. What's wonderful is that this person has no awareness of this, but thinks that Kaifeng City is smooth and orderly from the political superstructure to the daily life of the common people, and there is nothing abnormal about it.He was very satisfied, and he didn't care about all kinds of rumors in the market and the warnings given to him by his son Han Wei (it's a pity that Han Wei, who fell ill when he was young, became disabled for life, became a hunchback, known as "Humpback") "Son". But he has a clear mind and sees through at a glance that Zhao Kuangyin will surely become the biggest omen for Hou Zhou and the Han family. He has been urging his father to act early and take the initiative to get rid of Zhao Kuangyin), isn't everything going well now?Everything has proved that his work is fruitful, and it will continue like this, and this situation must be maintained steadily.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the year of 959 AD has arrived. the seven year old Chinese New Year is like a pass. On the first day of the first lunar month in 960 A.D., a child named Chai Zongxun was woken up early. He was manipulated by adults to put on cumbersome and heavy clothes and a hat that weighed even more heavily on his neck.Then he knew that he had to go to that big wide and tall room again, to meet those people with white or black beards. He listened to them say something that he didn't understand at all, and then looked at the expressions of the prime ministers, and nodded slowly. He's a little used to this kind of thing now, he doesn't know what's so fun about it, but he has to do it.Otherwise, his dead father would be sad... Just a few days ago, at the beginning of November, he buried his father in Qingling. During the court ceremony, this child surnamed Chai sat on the emperor's throne alone, in a high position.He heard someone below prostrate to him and congratulate him, saying that it is suggested that in the new year, the emperor's reign name should still be used, which is the seventh year of Xiande, and he hoped that the emperor's mighty spirit would bless the country and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty...he was indifferent to all this, and I really don't understand.What happened after that was very interesting, so many bearded people came to him one by one, kowtowed to him one by one, one after another, it was really interesting... Just when the child showed a little smile, a message came, burying his joy forever—Zhenzhou and Dingzhou on the northern frontier quickly sent an alarm, and the Khitan people united with the Northern Han people, The sudden attack requires the imperial court to send troops to rescue immediately. The hall was in chaos, and all the ministers showed their original shapes. They surrounded the three highly respected and capable prime ministers, discussing what to do. Chai Zongxun, a child sitting alone on a high place, looked blankly at the suddenly panicked crowd below. He didn't know what happened, let alone that what these people were arguing about was actually his fate... The result of the debate came out, the comer was not good, and the strongest troops should be sent to meet the enemy.Zhao Kuangyin, the commander of the Forbidden Army and the commander of the palace, led the army to the Northern Expedition, and set off immediately! This opinion was unanimously approved and passed unanimously, including the top leaders - the three prime ministers, and Han Tong.This decision is very appropriate, Han Tong is inseparable in the capital, and Zhao Kuangyin is young and vigorous, so he should make more contributions, not to mention that he has been away all the time, and he leads troops to the expedition, which will not cause any discomfort in the officialdom of the capital. And what a coincidence, when this bad news came, Zhao Kuangyin himself happened to be in the capital, and he could lead his troops to set off immediately, without delaying the military situation at all. On the second day, the second day of the first lunar month in 960 AD, the military situation was urgent. Zhao Kuangyin was promoted to the command post and dispatched generals in front of the Palace of the Forbidden Army in the Later Zhou Dynasty. The assignment was as follows: Order——Murong Yanzhao, the deputy commander in front of the Palace of the Forbidden Army, led the front army as the vanguard, and went northward in advance; the commander of the guards and horses was Gao Huaide, the commander of the guards and infantry was Zhang Lingduo, and the guards and infantry Hu Jie left and right flanks Commanders Zhang Guanghan and Zhao Yanhui led their troops to go out with them. Shi Shouxin, the commander of the capital in front of the palace, and Wang Shenqi, the marquis of Yu in the palace, led troops to assist Han Tong in guarding the capital. Seeing such a military distribution list, if someone still wants to say that Zhao Kuangyin has no evil intentions, he must have taken Zhao Kuangyin's money. More than half of the guards under Han Tong's name were taken out of the expedition, but all those left behind were the main force of the Dianqian Division's cronies, but on the surface, everything was still impeccable-the Dianqian Division and the Guards Division were both Part of the army was dispatched, and part of the city was defended. It was still an equal share of work and rest, and they contained each other. This is very much in line with the legacy of the late Emperor Chai Rong, and it is enough to reassure the current court leaders. Well, let's send troops immediately!But wait a minute, no matter how urgent the military situation is, there is no reason to order soldiers to go out immediately on the same day. A man has to choose a day and a time to send troops, just like a woman gets married. There is no such thing as so abrupt... So, it has to wait at least a day . In this fateful day, many things happened, each of which was enough to abort the order of the second and third days in this history.It's terrible, it's really scary to think about it, it's like a battle first happened in the staff rooms of the enemy and us, the experience of this day is far more frightening than what happened a day later. Because rumors suddenly spread in Kaifeng city, the streets and alleys were panicked, and some rich families and officials' children were moving out of the city to flee.It's still because of the five characters on the mysterious wooden strip-checking as the emperor. The residents of Kaifeng are well-informed and have a sound memory. "The Lord is suspicious of the country", and "foreign enemies suddenly appear", plus the army will be assembled immediately, plus "check to become the emperor", what does this mean? It means turning back the time for ten years. On November 22, 950 AD, Guo Wei rushed into Kaifeng with his own army. Countless families were destroyed that day, and the bloody lessons are still vivid. Who dares to take it lightly! And what a coincidence, "inspection", of course, is "all inspection", he is in Kaifeng city at this time, and he is already gathering troops! Rumors, sometimes just prophecies, will make you win people's hearts out of thin air, and then dare to do anything with you - because God is helping you... But sometimes rumors can also become murderous knives, turning your perfect "conspiracy" into The well-known "Yangmou" makes you unable to play any tricks, and you can only wait for the pre-revenge of the calculated person who wakes up early. It is said in history that Zhao Kuangyin was frightened. He couldn't stay outside on all occasions, so he had to hide at home. He muttered involuntarily—there were rumors outside that I was going to rebel, and the whole city was a sensation. What should I do? (The outside world is so raging, what will be done?) The classic scene appeared, before his mother, the future Empress Dowager Du could speak, his sister rushed out of the kitchen, her "face as iron-colored, chasing Taizu with a rolling pin, hitting him (God, she really gave her brother to Slapped), and cursed - a big man is facing a big problem, can he decide on his own, why come to the house to terrorize women!" Jiangmen tiger girl, don't say anything, apart from expressing concern and sympathy for her future husband, Mr. Gao Huaide, we can only applaud her.History has proved that it is really the right medicine, and her brother still eats it.This kind of tough and destructive stimulation is far more effective than careful and caring encouragement. Zhao Kuangyin came out silently at that time, blushing deeply for his timid behavior, and then he did an extremely brave and crucial thing. This incident completely allowed his second and third days to come, and China's history can be passed on smoothly. Zhao Kuangyin decided to take the initiative to see Han Tong, and went directly to Han Tong's home to ask for a meeting. He understood that, as the military and police chief of Kaifeng City, Han Tong would be well aware of any troubles in the market.The rumor of seeing a ghost must have reached Han Tong's ears, and through Han Tong, it will soon reach the ears of the three prime ministers, the empress dowager and the little emperor.If he didn't take some effective actions, let alone lead the army, even if he wanted to return to the small place of Guide Mansion safely, it would be wishful thinking. It is recorded in "Wenjian Jinlu" that Zhao Kuangyin came to Han Tong's house that day, and Han Tong really let him in.It is conceivable that his status allows him to bring in a few followers, but unless his team members are all at Xiao Feng's level, otherwise, as long as Han Tong is not happy, the probability of him surviving is zero. In fact, he was really in danger.Han Wei, this hunchbacked but bright-minded young man once again suggested to his father to get rid of Zhao Kuangyin, once and for all, clean and tidy! But the stubborn Han Tong let the opportunity slip through his fingers again.Afterwards, almost all the historians of the past dynasties believed that Han Tong had done wrong at this time, he was in constant chaos, he was in chaos, and he ruined the country that Chai Rong had entrusted to him.But what about going deeper?Why didn't Han Tong and the other three prime ministers and the empress dowager attack Zhao Kuangyin, and still let him lead the troops on time? The problem is that it is easy to kill, but extremely difficult to deal with the aftermath. Think about Liu Chengyou, the last emperor of the Later Han Dynasty more than ten years ago. Didn’t he execute the ministers of the court and China without charge because of his recklessness, and forced Guo Wei outside to rebel?At this time, Zhao Kuangyin showed no signs of rebellion, and just executed the general because of some rumors. What would the other generals outside Kaifeng think? Also, it is not so easy to really kill Zhao Kuangyin.Among the three great prime ministers right in front of me, Wang Pu, who ranks second, according to Su Zhe's "Longchuan Biography", has already "sincerely paid for it" to Zhao Kuangyin, unless Han Tong is reckless and says Just do it, or you won't get the approval slip. Alas, you see, it is more difficult to save than to kill, and it is more difficult to take care of the overall situation than to rebel.So, Zhao Kuangyin walked out of the gate of Han Mansion alive that day.I think at that moment, in every corner of Kaifeng City, someone breathed a sigh of relief.If there were really sounds of fighting and crying for help in the Han Mansion just now, the Kaifeng city would definitely start training ahead of time at this time, with blood flowing like rivers. Even if they can't save the life and death of the leader, the comrades must think about themselves. Should we just wait for Han Tong to arrest everyone one by one with the list? Soon, it was getting dark and the day was coming to an end, and all the people who planned to participate in the performance were also gathering around Zhao Kuangyin.Among these people, we will see names that later became famous, but are still unknown at this time.Their faces were calm, but they were excited, because what they were doing was the most risky and rewarding business in the world at that time.If you win, you will get the country; if you lose, the whole family will be executed. It's hard for you to tell whether it's buying ten for one, or buying ten for one... And these people will continue to increase, and there will always be some silent onlookers and quick-witted people who want to do some speculative business.From now on, many expected and unexpected things will come. But everything is under control and there is only one director.This person is hidden behind the scenes. At the scene of filming at that time, you will see him busy and everywhere, but after the incident, in the eyes of the audience, on the colorful and unpredictable screen, You can't see a little bit of him. Because the history that has been handed down and shown to us is already a finished film that has been edited and made seamless, and can be faked. It is said that this person is called Zhao Pu, and there is another very mysterious boy who was only 21 years old at the time, who suddenly appeared in the cracks of this period of history.Since then, he has firmly stood at the center of the stage in his unique way, until he finally became the focus of tens of millions of people. His name is Zhao Kuangyi. Director's skill What is the minimum requirement to be a qualified director? It's hard to say, but the most basic point is to first understand what type of actor you are, and how to package it, in order to achieve the effect of attracting attention and the unity of man and god.So, which type is Zhao Kuangyin? How to pack him? Are you going to hold a meeting of thousands of people, and then publicize how good Zhao Kuangyin is at the meeting. For the sake of a bright tomorrow and everyone's vital interests, we can only follow him? Or in order to enhance persuasion, it is necessary to make a comprehensive comparison between Zhao Kuangyin and each of his competitors, analyze them one by one, and have an unprecedentedly heated PK discussion with the audience, leaving everyone speechless and convinced Orally, at this time they will put aside all concerns, put themselves at home and their lives, and rebel with Zhao Kuangyin? The joke seems to have gone too far.But history has proved that the opening of this drama was even more childish than this. The sun rose the next day. On the third day of the first lunar month in 960 A.D., the army was assembled and left the capital city of Kaifeng from Aijingmen, heading north to meet the Khitan and Northern Han coalition forces.At this time, the city of Kaifeng was very quiet, and the turmoil that people imagined did not happen.People's hearts, with the departure of the army, gradually quieted down. But something unusual happened in the army.A man stopped walking suddenly, he stopped, looked up at the sky, to be precise, stared at the sun with his eyes wide open, and kept this movement unchanged for a long time. But what was even more strange was that there were so many soldiers in the army, but they didn't care about anyone, and they were very devout, looking at him expectantly, waiting for him to further explain what he had seen.Because this person is really unusual, he is a well-known half-immortal in the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty, who can read the wind and clouds, has studied astrology, and can pinch and count. I saw Immortal Miao staring intently and endlessly, and no one dared to disturb him. Finally, an equally remarkable expert came and dared to ask him—Brother, what did you see? Miao Shenxian took a look, ah, it turned out to be Mr. Chu Zhaofu, an aide of Zhao Kuangyin's staff, who was both civil and military, wise and brave, loyal, and honest with all ages.Very good, this is a good friend to chat with.So he opened his golden mouth and opened his jade teeth to utter a nonsense that has been passed down through the ages-can't you see it?Please look carefully, there are two suns in the sky at this time, one up and one down, black light vertically and horizontally, friction and vibration, endless (the sun goes down one day after another, the black light rubs for a long time)... Did you see it? what!I saw it! ——Chu Zhaofu burst into passionate cheers in an instant—it really is like what you said, two suns!Everyone come and see, come and see——!Not only that, but Chu Zhaofu's visual nerve surpassed Immortal Miao in an instant. He had further seen the sun that was originally below, and had driven away the sun above. See the magical landscape is in progress, everyone come and see! So everyone came to watch... Maybe the sun that day was also very depressed. For many years, there have never been so many pairs of eyes staring at it without blinking.So soon, it made countless suns burst out of everyone's eyes... So, the soldiers really believed the words of Miao Shenxian and Mr. Chu. This is really like a farce. Whenever I see this place, I am extremely contemptuous of the intelligence of the ancients—including the soldiers who killed people in the army, and even Mr. Zhao Pu, the chief director. Fairy tales that children can't even pass! But the question is, why do so many adults believe it? You can't simply and crudely conclude that people a thousand years ago were extremely superstitious, and if you calculate it carefully, Director Zhao has no choice but to make such an arrangement. Zhao Kuangyin is not Li Shimin. Li Shimin started working for his own family business. Although there were minor twists and turns later, he was justifiable when he ascended the throne. Zhao Kuangyin was not Guo Wei either. One's theoretical arrangement; Zhao Kuangyin is not Chai Rong either, as long as Chai Rong is strong enough to hold the throne firmly, there is no theoretical and humanistic flaw.And with the toughness of Chai Rong and Wang Pu, they don't bother to engage in these messy fake tricks. But for Zhao Kuangyin, these feudal superstitions are of great use, because he is a bit like Liu Bang.Liu Bang came to rebel, and he had to give himself and others a powerful spiritual power that was more sacred than the swords and guns of those in power; After all, with such an innate advantage as the son of the dragon, who would dare to accompany him to risk his life with Xiang Yu? And Zhao Kuangyin is exactly like this. Zhao Kuangyin, who is young, has a shallow foundation, and is just a pawn set by Chai Rong before his death to restrict Han Tong, in addition to the immediate danger of usurping the throne, he must also take the risk of usurping the throne from all over the country afterwards. Senior officials, big and small, are all settled, so this kind of prophecy of "destiny returns" and "the day of the day" is absolutely indispensable! Time flies, no matter if there is one sun, two suns, or a bastard countless suns in the sky that day, they will all get off work normally at that point.In this way, when it got dark, the army had to rest at the station.The outpost reported that the place ahead was tonight's accommodation—Chenqiaoyi, 40 miles away from Kaifeng, the capital. After dinner, the big show started.At this time, Zhao Kuangyin didn't see anyone, drank alone until he was drunk, and went straight to bed (the protagonist has privileges), and the field work and supporting roles officially started. The first person to do things was Li Chuyun, who was Zhao Kuangyin's behind-the-scenes Duya Ya.He walked around the barracks at night, chatting with people casually (I don't believe it, Li Chuyun will waste a lot of saliva at this time trying to persuade people, saying that he is talking to someone is an exaggeration, it should be Just give a code), a large group of senior officials of the Forbidden Army suddenly acted, and they broke into... Sorry, Zhao Kuangyin's first staff member Zhao Pu's room. These people have the same temperament and a tough attitude-the army has no master, and the Taiwei is willing to be the emperor! This is the raging mood, good things are coming, what are you waiting for?More than half a year of preparation, every moment of fear, isn't it just for this moment? !Then...wait a little longer, so I agree, Zhao Pu is just a small thief.He suddenly straightened his face, and said sternly - the Taiwei is so loyal, he will never forgive your words and deeds! A basin of ice water poured down, everyone was stunned, is that so?Do you hear me clearly?It's not that Zhao Kuangyin will not answer our question, but that he won't forgive us at all!What's the use of it... It's messed up. After all the people looked at each other in blank dismay, they went back and forth in desperation, waiting to be repaired. At this time, there were three people left in Zhao Pu's room, Zhao Pu, Li Chuyun, and Zhao Kuangyi.The three of them sat very firmly, and they didn't feel anxious or regretful at all.A strange smile faintly flowed on their faces. The human heart is very wonderful. If you give it too quickly for what they want, then they won't cherish it... Sure enough, after a while, those people suddenly left and returned. This time, these people showed fierce eyes, their swords were out of their sheaths, and they approached Zhao Pu and the other three people. What they said was completely naked—— According to the regulations, there are conspiracy in the army according to the theory of genocide.If the Taiwei doesn't follow now, do we have to sit and wait for tomorrow's punishment? ! Zhao Pu smiled, he was waiting for this sentence.He believed that these subordinates of Zhao Kuangyin should know some past events, as well as the previous market of the current transaction.In the short fifty-three years of the Five Dynasties and Eleven Kingdoms, I can find out that such things happened at least four times.The first one is of course Guo Wei, which is a successful example.After serving as a soldier, you can be an official, and you can rob casually and make a fortune.But don't think that everyone would like to be an emperor, especially being raped by public opinion. The remaining three times were bloody lessons. One is Shi Jingtang, who is this person, do you need to explain?When he was hunting one day, someone in his subordinates called him long live, and Lao Shi responded by beheading more than 30 soldiers on the spot.It's over. The second one is Yang Guangyuan from the late Jin Dynasty. He is a kind man, but he just scolded those soldiers: "Is the emperor something you sell?! Get the fuck out of me!" and it was over. The third one is a bit darker. It is the guard of Waqiao Pass, named Fu Yanrao. Cut off all the soldiers who wanted to rape him. These are all painful experiences and lessons, and there are living examples ahead. Who still has a way to turn back?These soldiers are really in a hurry, Zhao Pu, Mr. Zhao, we have all pulled out the knife very sincerely, do you have to let us put it on your neck before you can agree? ! But even so, Zhao Pu still has something else to say—Celi, it’s a big deal, how can you be so presumptuous and arrogant?Now that the foreign invaders are oppressing the country, it is better to set up a picture book after retreating from the enemy... This is simply a spoof, the soldiers are angry, they have no patience anymore, they shouted - the master is weak, I will fight the enemy with all my strength, who will know!It's better to establish the inspection as the emperor first, and then go north! Well, this time the fire is really here, and it will be counterproductive to pretend anymore.At this time, a real heavyweight uttered the first words of the night of the incident.It was the young Zhao Kuangyi, he said——Xing Wang has a different surname, although it is the destiny of heaven, it is really related to the hearts of the people.You can strictly control the soldiers, don't let them plunder, and the people in the capital will be at ease, then the four directions will be self-determined, and you and the others can jointly protect wealth and honor. Please note how benevolent and flawless these words are.This should have come from the mouth of the protagonist of the day, the future ruler of the empire, but according to historical records, these words were spoken by Zhao Kuangyin's mouth before his younger brother.Then, the first step of the specific rebellion work process began - sending the yamen army envoy Guo Yanyun back to Kaifeng overnight, and informed the commander Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi, the commander of the front of the palace, everything went well, and they will return tomorrow as planned city. According to history, Zhao Kuangyin's fate was arranged in this way, and he was forced by his cronies and younger brother to embark on the road of becoming an emperor from a soldier to a country and a long country. In the early morning of the next day, that is, the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month in 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin, who had not woken up from the hangover, was awakened by the sudden explosion of earth-shattering noise in the barracks.Shi said that he was at a loss, and before he had time to figure out what happened, the door was broken into by a large group of people, who flocked to his bed in a chaotic manner. "What...what are you doing?! Rob...rob..." I really can't be sure whether Zhao Kuangyin, who once wandered in embarrassment, will be in a daze at this moment, and feel that he has returned to those unbearable days.But what happened next made him even more involuntary. These people are chanting words, in short, it is the sentence that has been practiced since last night, "There are no generals, and I wish to establish the Taiwei as the emperor!" Then they didn't bother with Zhao Kuangyin at all, and directly dragged him to the office in the outer room In front of the table (koan), a new piece of clothing has been prepared - the standard emperor's professional suit. Going back in time, it’s like going back to ten years ago, just like on December 20, 950 AD, Zhao Kuangyin turned into Guo Wei and was forced to change his clothes—more professional than Guo Wei, after all, it was the second operation , People with experience will always make things go smoothly, the yellow flag has become a yellow robe, and Zhao Kuangyin has new clothes that are tailored to fit. It's just that it was later discovered that the great director Mr. Zhao Pu made the first small amateurish mistake. Yellow is the exclusive color of royal families in all feudal times. I think the reason why Guo Wei had a yellow flag in his army was because he was nominally acting on behalf of the emperor at that time, and director Zhao Da wanted to pursue the perfection of visual effects, and after a while, Zhao Kuangyin For his debut in front of the whole army, he had to wear a regular yellow robe, which caused the first flaw, which even the great writer Su Dongpo, who would never be born decades later, could not remedy. The following things will be carried out at the speed of mechanical assembly line work. We must hurry up and return to Kaifeng, and the success of the capital will be considered complete.Everyone surrounded Zhao Kuangyin and rushed out, and the soldiers who had already lined up outside applauded heartily.In a warm and harmonious atmosphere, Zhao Kuangyin got on his horse. History has proved that he was still sensible at this time, knowing which side is north, and the direction he is going is south. At this time, the most classic and controversial scene appeared. At this time, someone dared to squeeze out of the human wall suddenly, stopped Zhao Kuangyin's horse, and stopped the entire brigade who was about to march rapidly.It was Zhao Kuangyi, this young man who was so sacred later but was still a baby at this time, his voice was loud and his expression was solemn, so that everyone could hear what he said to his elder brother-please take plagiarism as a warning! So Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized, and almost forgot the most important thing... He stopped the three armies and asked the soldiers around him-you are greedy for wealth and honor, and you make me the emperor. I have orders, and you can obey them ? All the soldiers who had horses got off their horses, and those without horses knelt down, and they answered happily, with only two words--obedience. So Zhao Kuangyin issued an order—the queen mother and the lord, I will do things from the north; the court ministers are all on par with me.You are not allowed to startle the palace, invade the nobles, and violate the treasury.There is a lot of money for life, and if you violate it, you will be killed. The answer this time is simpler, with only one word - promise! In this way, all the cutscenes were over, and the army was able to return.But please note that the above cutscenes are compiled based on the collections of "Song History" and "Continued Zizhi Tongjian Changbian".Both "Song History" and "Continued Zizhi Tongjian Changbian" originated from the "National History" compiled by Zhao Kuangyi's son Song Zhenzong Zhao Hengshi, and "National History" came from "Taizu Shilu", "Taizu Shilu" and "Taizu Shilu". "Zushilu", it's not so easy to say... Song Dynasty rebuilt it many times, including "Old Record" and "Xinlu".After Zhao Kuangyi ascended the pole, he changed it twice, and he rebuilt it again when he arrived at Zhenzong Zhao Hengshi. Just this time, after decades, Zhao Kuangyin's old people were dead, old, and there was no one to prove it. Things rounded out to what we see now. Especially the scene where Zhao Kuangyi stopped his brother Ma and uttered the key sentence - it seemed that without this sentence, Zhao Kuangyin would have plundered and plundered the city, recreating the bloody city when Guo Wei entered the city back then. Time flies, and the deadly sun is mercilessly advancing towards the center of the sky, Zhao Kuangyin must speed up.这时,他已经进入了角色,他要盛装入城,进城就是天子,再不愿在城墙外面动刀枪,以免把还没有正式添加在他名下的产业以及他在历史上的名誉弄出不必要的瑕疵。 经过严密的分析,他决定,派出两个人,去做一公一私两件事。 首先派出老少无欺、视力超群、人见人爱的殿前司幕僚楚昭辅先生,让他赶在大部队的前面,悄悄地进入开封城,向赵匡胤的母亲及家人报个平安,也顺便告诉他们皇帝轮流做,今年到他家,姓赵的已经中了超级大奖了! 这个活儿好干,说实在的真是个美差。想想吧,那年头连中个状元都会有些职业报喜的登门要喜钱呢,何况是突然之间中了个皇帝!而且楚先生这件事一点风险都不会有,他大可以人不知鬼不觉地潜回京城,根本不必在大街上敲锣打鼓地向所有人宣布。 但是下一个命令就要命了。赵匡胤决定要派一个人先回京城,直接去见三位当朝大宰相以及城防司令韩通,甚至直接向太后和小皇帝摊牌——告诉这些人新的皇帝已经产生了,你们的身份现在也都要变一变! 想想看,这种事以前有人干过吗?似乎是有过,比如李世民在上早朝的时候干掉了大哥和三弟,然后自己不好去见父皇李渊,派了杀人助手尉迟恭去见老爹。可那到底是家务事,而且李世民也没说要把老爹如何怎样! 可是现在这个人,却得自己一个人赶在造反的大队人马前面,单枪匹马地进京,向以前的君主说你现在马上从金銮殿上给我滚下来,那已经不是你坐的地方了……你信不信皇帝就算砍不了后面的新任皇帝的脑袋,也一样先砍了你? 而且说实话,现在赵匡胤的手下,还没听说过谁有尉迟敬德那样的单兵作战能力和胆量。 太难了……这时候,赵匡胤把目光转向了一个非常年轻的低级官员,在此之前,此人默默无闻,从未在任何事上出头露脸。他叫潘美,时任客省使,也就是负责全国信使、宴赐、四方进奉这方面迎来送往的小差使的官。 大伙儿看着潘美,有人觉得悲哀,有人则露出了微笑。此时人人清楚,大家都在一场残酷的围猎行动之中,谁都想当猎人,可也终究得有去死的野兽!很好,看来潘美就是那第一个去送死的。 但是历史证明,潘美后来得享大名,绝非幸致。此人胆识超卓,今天这件事之后,他又孤身一人,深入敌境,做出了更加耸人听闻的壮举!这时潘美欣然领命,他纵马狂奔,直奔四十里开外的都城开封。 一路疾行,潘美进入开封的时候,后周君臣还没有下早朝。潘美昂然上殿,向这些高高在上的人宣布赵匡胤已经兵变称帝,此时正在回程的途中! 所有的人都惊呆了,奇变突生,措不及防……当时在曾经是柴荣设座议事的大殿之上,唯有一片死寂,历史记载,最大的一个举动就是首席宰相范质突然伸手抓住了身边的另一位宰相王浦的一只手而已。 他愤然大叫——仓卒遣将,吾辈之罪也! 这句话一点回应都没有得到,王浦咬紧牙关一声不出,事后才知道他是在忍疼——范质养尊处优,指甲留得比妙龄女孩儿还长,偏巧王浦也是这样的货色,他的手那是相当的酥嫩。史称——爪入溥手几出血。溥噤不能对。 这就是骤然临变,生死关头时的后周群臣众生相。可是别忘了,后周至少还有一位真正对柴氏忠心的人,那就是韩通。韩通一直目不转睛地看着三位大宰相,看他们有什么举措。等他看清楚后,他绝望了。但是他绝不允许自己也像他们一样,他一定要做点什么! 韩通扔下了文武百官,以及年幼无知的小皇帝,他急匆匆地奔下了金殿,去集合还能听他调度的军队。不管实力对比怎样悬殊,他都要为后周,为柴荣尽到他曾经答应过的努力。 韩通跃马出宫,先回自己的侍卫司,他要招集兵将。但是韩通绝望地发现,这时他还能号召的军队已经所剩无几,绝对不够他分兵据守偌大的开封都城,至于领兵出城平定叛乱,更加是想都不要想。 what to do?人心已经在片刻之间,就在赵匡胤和小孩子柴宗训之间作出了选择。 “点检作天子”的谶言终于还是应验了,只不过晚了两天而已!当时的人对改朝换代是多么的熟悉啊,谁都知道该怎么办,尤其是素以“拥戴”见功的军队。让他怎么还能有办法力挽狂澜? 但是现实要求他,必须得在极短的时间内想出应变对敌的办法。 韩通不愧老将,他迅速地作出了一个决定,把目标缩小,具体到造反者赵匡胤本人的身上——去捉拿他的家人,来以此作为阻止兵变的筹码! 这已经是当时所能想到的唯一可行,并且也唯此一招的办法了。 他分兵两路,其中一路由他本人率领,杀向赵匡胤在左掖门附近的殿前司官署,希望能在那儿抓到赵家老小;另一路奔向开封城内的定力寺,有人报告,赵匡胤的家人在这一天去了那里上香。 左掖门,殿前司……历史记载,那天迎接韩通的是一阵空前密集的乱箭。 就在这时,开封城北陈桥门外,率领大军兵临城下的赵匡胤也同样在郁闷着。眼前就是开封城的大门了,可他就是进不去! 城上守城的官兵无论如何都不给他开门,不管他是以新任皇帝的名义,还是以前后周殿前都点检的身份,都一样不好使,不开就是不开。而且这些守门的大兵还明目张胆地叫出了自己的姓氏——一个姓陆,一个姓乔。行不更名,坐不改姓,爱咋咋地了。 出行不利,赵匡胤强压着心头怒火,更强压着一直隐藏着的极度不安,他扭头去看身边的总导演赵普。这时他的疑问完全可以用眼神就表现清楚——这是怎么回事?难道石守信和王审琦没有接到通知?还是城里边天翻地覆了,他们都被韩通给干掉了?现在要怎么办?强攻吗?还是要继续封官许诺,哪怕给个王爷也得先进城再说! 赵普不动声色,数万大军就堵在他身后,僵持在城下,他的主人更加焦躁不安,可他就是不急。历史证明,他是真的一点都不急,因为他给出的解决方案更像是一道搞笑的脑筋急转弯,那实在是必须得有一颗时刻活泼灵动的心灵才能想得出来——正对着陈桥驿方向的陈桥门不通,那么我们为什么一定要从这个门进去?开封难道只有这么一座城门吗? 我们换一个就是了。 于是历史记载,当天赵匡胤的造反大军是在开封城外小转了一弯,到了旁边的封丘门,才进去的开封城。 进城之后,大队人马立即分散,按照主次之分以及危险系数的不同,各自奔向自己分片包干的责任地点。这时候,历史把一个本来很平凡的任务交给了一个名不见经传的人身上。他叫王彦升,是当时禁军殿前司系统里的一员战将。接到的具体任务是先回赵匡胤的老巢殿前司官署,给新任皇帝清清路障。 很简单的任务吧?但是要看由谁来办。这一天里的王彦升不知是亢奋过度,还是有什么别的内幕隐情,他把这样一个再平常不过的小任务办得震惊当时,流传千古,让人实在是没法不佩服。 殿前司的人回殿前司官署,那是熟门熟路,王彦升带着大兵一路狂奔,很快就到了,他正撞上了败退下来的韩通。 不走运的韩通,他不知道当天驻守在殿前司官署里的人居然是殿前都指挥使石守信本人。这下好了,他正中铁板,但是好在石守信充分领会了赵匡胤以和为贵的工作原则,不和他短兵相接,始终只是弓箭招呼,但就是这样也足以让韩通绝望了。时间,都消耗在挡箭躲箭,步步为营上了。赵匡胤的家人连个影子都没有见到,可赵匡胤的军队却已经杀到了身边! 历史记载,当天王彦升看到韩通之后,突然变得无法克制,他带人就冲了过去,杀散了韩通的部下,杀得韩通上马逃跑,然后一路追杀,直接杀进韩家大门,把韩通本人、他的妻子、长子、次子、三子全部杀害,乱兵之中仅有韩通的幼子韩守琼以及四个女儿活了下来。 如此赶尽杀绝,毫不留情,我不知道王彦升是过去和韩通有什么私人恩怨,还是他接受了什么特殊的指令,比如满城权贵,一律保全,但除韩通之外……至于理由,是多么的简单,因为只有韩通才有能力在这时或者将来造反。 面对残暴的灭门杀戮,赵匡胤在陈桥驿郑重立誓的允诺言犹在耳——“不杀后周大臣,不惊犯宫阙府库。”可韩通就被杀死在自己的家里。而且更加令人寒心的是,由宋人编撰的史书中,记载的却是地兵变当日,韩通从皇宫中“惶遽而归”,直接回家,在半道上遇到了王彦升,从而被杀。 也就是说,从来都没有韩通为后周的尽忠行为,开封城里更加没有过任何的敌对抵抗——一切都是和平进行的,都是绝对符合仁义道德的,赵匡胤的行为是所有人一致拥护赞赏的。 可是公道自在人心,想想潘美先期进城,韩通随后下殿,如果直接回家,怎么会在半路上遇到王彦升?是韩通在半路看见了个漂亮的MM,多聊了一会儿?还是王彦超会绝顶轻功,他紧跟着潘美就飞进了开封城,并且知道韩通正在哪条大街上,从而发生了这样令人极为遗憾的误会? 一千多年以后,一个叫海明威的美国老头儿曾经说过,你尽可以杀死一个人,可是你就是没法击败他。可是在当天的开封,赵匡胤和他的谋臣以及勇士们说,我们尽可以杀死每一个人,而且会让他死得默默无闻,平淡无味。 那天的开封城终于逐渐地安静了下来,赵匡胤在诸将簇拥中缓缓地登上了明德门。登高望远,只见街市繁华,屋宇林立。 多么的熟悉……这就是我从小长大的地方!真的属于我了吗? 没有人会再有疑问,这已经是不需要回答的问题。只是在一瞬间,三十四岁的赵匡胤会在恍惚间觉得时光以及时空的不真实,在他年轻时,具体地说在他二十岁时,也曾亲眼看见过有一个人登上了开封的城头,那人当时微笑着向惊慌奔逃的开封百姓们说:“我也是人,你们不要害怕,我来当你们的皇帝,让你们休养生息。” 那是曾经的契丹皇帝耶律德光。 不论是汉人还是夷人,赵匡胤都在一瞬间和耶律德光心意相通——多好的一片江山!难能不让人心动……更怎能让它荒废残败! 他下决心,要让这片江山更加的繁华昌盛……在他的治理之下。 这时赵匡胤看到了自己的士兵分布开封城内各处,市面安定如旧,史称“市不易肆”。之后他没有在城头上再作停留,他有更加重要的事要做。因为在总导演赵普先生的笔记本里早就规定好了一切的行程安排。 下一步,先回殿前司官署。 这出乎绝大多数人的意料之外,皇宫已经近在咫尺,那个高高在上,可以统治万民的至尊宝座已经触手可及,为什么不直接去得到它?这时大局初定,不怕夜长梦多吗? 赵普对所有热切期盼的眼神统统视而不见,在他冷漠的表情下,他的心更加的沉静。在他看来,这些人迫不及待的样子真是低劣,人世间有很多需要积极进取的东西,却要用另一种看似羞怯的状态才能完美地获得。尤其在当时的中国。 就这样,当天赵匡胤就像还在后周上班时那样,直接回到了自己工作生活的老地方,殿前司官署。不仅如此,他还当众脱下了进城时还穿着的黄袍。时间还来得及,他坐下来歇了歇,因为一会儿之后,他需要体力,更需要情绪。 史称“有顷”之后,三位大宰相范质、王浦、魏仁浦以及一些重臣都被迫主动来见赵匡胤(诸将拥范质等至)。这就是赵普的计划,要赵匡胤等朝臣来觐见,而且这给以后的记史者留下了绝大的发挥空间,因为可怜的赵匡胤在同一天里,又要被人第二次强暴了。 好了,我的宰相,我的大人们,你们终于来了……你们可算是来了!受尽了委屈的赵匡胤突然间痛哭流涕,泣不成声,说出了他满腹的不得已,以及……惭愧——吾受世宗厚恩,为六军所迫,一旦至此,惭负天地,将若之何? 请留意,“将若之何?”我现在怎么办?赵匡胤已经六神无主,什么都不知道了。可是没等范质等大佬说话(质等未及对),那些要命的强暴者突然间爆发,散指挥都虞候太原罗彦环挺身而出,按剑厉声喊出了这几天以来听得叫人腻烦了的行动口号——我辈无主,今日须得天子! 刀将出鞘,剑甲林立,周围都是杀气腾腾的叛兵,这时候,所有的人都原形毕露了,包括对富贵权力红了眼的大兵们,也包括常年一脸道学,满腔正气的高官宰相们。 第一个屈服的是王浦,他率先走下台阶,向赵匡胤跪拜,施以臣子大礼。然后谁也没有料到,第二个就是以骄傲执拗著称的范质(质不得已亦拜)。 大局己定。 这时,终于轮到去做最重要的事了。去皇宫,去做真正的皇帝! 但是他们扑了个空,皇帝和太后此时已经不在皇宫里了。在赵匡胤率兵入城时,小皇帝柴宗训就由他的姨母小符皇后带出了皇宫,皇后亲手脱下了皇帝和自己身上的黄袍,穿着白衣,走进了后周世宗皇帝柴荣记名的功德禅院天清寺。 这是典型的政治避难,也是明确地传达着他们对造反一事的态度——我们输了,只求不要杀我们。 看到这里,或许会有人点头称赞年轻的符太后真是明智吧,但是有没有人笑话她过于胆怯,辜负了柴荣呢?需要补充一下的是,这位小符皇后可不是轻易低头的人。 小符皇后在历史中查不到她的名字,她在嫁给柴荣前,曾经先嫁于后汉重臣李守贞(那位喜欢拆墙的人)的儿子李崇训。李守贞被郭威攻灭时,李家全族走死逃亡,无一幸免。而小符皇后自己独自当门而坐,对乱军呵斥——我符魏王(符彦卿)女也,魏王与枢密太尉(郭威)兄弟之不若,汝等慎勿无礼! 史称乱兵耸然引退,无人敢犯。 这样的主见和胆量,就是柴荣临终时选中她的原因。可是这时她一点办法都没有了,后周国中她唯一能指望上的就是她的父亲符彦卿(要小心,符彦卿之强,曾经让契丹皇帝耶律德光都仓皇逃跑,威名镇慑塞外,连耶律德光的老妈,都问符彦卿是不是死了,才允许儿子再次入侵),可别说远水不解近渴,就算是符彦卿在,也只能保持中立。 原因很简单,符家三个女儿,两个嫁给了柴荣,还有一个,那是赵匡义的媳妇。 于是再也没有什么能阻止当天的赵匡胤的了,他来到了后周皇宫里的崇元殿,这里非常荣幸地成了他取代后周,建立新朝的登极典礼举行地。 可是让他非常没面子的是,把所有正规和非正规的法子都用上了,还是挨到了快晚上时(至晡,晡为申时,下午三点至五点。想想吧,正月天有多短,都天黑了),文武百官才陆陆续续地出现在赵匡胤的视线里。 郁闷吧?感觉不吉利吧?哪有在天黑时办事的?在古代只有二嫁三嫁四五嫁的女人才在这种时候出嫁呢……可惜了,这才是赵匡胤的初次造反啊,难道就不能有点喜气的选择? 但是,有些事,有心情你要做,没有心情你也得做,难道你敢把造反称帝的事儿推到明天举行,就为了让灿烂的阳光能照着你? ! joke!于是在当天,赵匡胤只能一直保持着他脸上既无奈更无辜甚至非常惭愧难过的表情,等着与会者一一到齐,至少得把被篡位的小皇帝再次从庙里回到宫中现场,才能把必须的作业流程完工。 但是等所有的人都到齐了,事件的性质也确定了——不是篡位,是禅让,最道德、最理智、最无私、且绝不流血的权力交接性质。 可是这样一个人类罕见、普天同庆的大喜事却突然被卡住了,与会者发现事到临头居然缺了一件最重要的东西——禅让诏书! 中国人办事就讲究个名正言顺,且留字为据。连卖一头驴还得有字据呢,何况是把偌大的后周白送出去?当场的人都傻眼了,包括无所不知、早有准备的大导演赵普,这时他是现场最欲哭无泪的。天哪,为什么造个反还有这么多的讲究啊,繁文缛节害死人啊,可怜我也是第一次帮人造反……没有经验啊! 就在这时,一位真正的有心人慢悠悠地站了出来,翰林学士承旨新平陶谷。此人从容地在袖子里抽出了一张黄纸,史称“出周恭帝禅位制书于袖中。”也就是说,七岁的小皇帝柴宗训已经早就秘密地把禅位诏书写好了,并单独交给了他,让他在这个时候拿给赵匡胤看! 于是万事俱备,东风亦起。制造皇帝的合法程序正式启动——宣徽使高唐昝居润,引匡胤就龙墀北面拜受。宰相掖升崇元殿,服兗冕,即皇帝位。群臣拜贺。奉周帝为郑王,符太后为周太后,迁居西宫。诏定有天下之号曰宋,因所领节度州名也。 就这样,中国的历史上,出现了宋朝。准确地说,是北宋。
