Miao Liu Mutiny
Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, thought so, so when the rebels approached, he was not panicked. It was almost noon that day, Zhao Gou climbed the city tower, and there were a large group of imperial guards and more than 100 bloody heads. Zhao Gou was very calm, and he held the railing in his hand and greeted him: I asked Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan to come out to meet him...
Miao and Liu came out, shouted to him long live, kneeled down and kowtowed... The situation seemed normal, Zhao Gou felt good, he decided to do a good job, so he asked what was going on? My dear friends said it from the beginning...
Miao Fu really listened to the order. He stood up and started from the beginning loudly. The question was just a question for all the Han people to Zhao Gou, "Emperor, since you ascend the throne, you have been unfair to reward and trust eunuchs. If the soldiers have made merits, they will agree to recommend you. Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan have corrupted the country to such an extent, and have not been exiled to the distant places. Wang Yuan retreated in the war, missed the opportunity to cross the river first, but was promoted to Privy Council without seeing the punishment. What's going on? Now we have killed Wang Yuan, and the eunuchs outside the palace have also been killed. Now please hand over Kang Lu, Lan Gui, Zeng Ze and others to the eunuchs, all of them have been killed, and apologize to the three armies."
Zhao Gou was embarrassed and angry, but he didn't expect Miao Fu to bring up his old accounts and reveal his old secrets. This was a showdown in public, tearing his face apart, and it was really a rebellion! But nothing, in his usual shameless spirit, he could still face it calmly. Zhao Gou said: My dear friends, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan have been punished and demoted, and Wang Yuan has also been killed by you. Many eunuchs have died. Now I promise you that you will demote Kang Lu and others to the island and will never tolerate it. Just go back to the military camp to wait for the news...
When the soldiers return to the camp, everything will be fine. As long as they pass this hurdle, aren’t these soldiers still fish on the cutting board? Unfortunately, Miao Du Du had helped him chop vegetables, especially Liu Zhengyan, who helped him kill many so-called thieves, and understood all kinds of methods and would never be fooled at this time!
The rebels stood in front of the palace gate and decided to hand over the eunuch Kang Lu, otherwise they would not leave!
Zhao Gou just won't hand over! This is not a problem with one or two eunuchs, it is the emperor's authority that is falling down! Once this is soft, he will really be in awe...
The two sides froze. Time passed little by little, and the rebels outside the imperial city gradually lost their patience. At first, they were jealous of the excitement of killing, and then they were crazy with the emperor. Now they were gradually uneasy, and they would soon be overwhelmed by fear and do extreme things...
Zhao Gou noticed this keenly, and made a quick decision and sent Wu Zhan to tie Kang Lu outside the city! Miao and Liu beheaded Kang Lu first, then corrupt, and finally beheaded...
After doing all this, Zhao Gou still rewarded me. He promoted Miao Fu to Chengxuan, the commander of the Imperial Camp, and Liu Zhengyan to Observation, and the deputy commander of the Imperial Camp. What? Everyone killed me, became angry, and promoted to the officialdom. Can you go back to the military camp to rest?
The rebels don't leave! Things are obvious: If Zhao Gou gave in from the beginning, he didn't have the hard pressure later, and killed people in person, things could turn around, and they might compromise with each other and live a life of doubling down. Now that he is so hostile, do you still want to be good? Miao, Liu discussed for a while and asked Zhao Gou a question, "Your Majesty, do you think it's appropriate to be this emperor? If Emperor Qinzong returns from the north, where do you put him in?"
Song Qinzong Zhao Gou felt cold in his heart. The huge danger approached him, which made him more alert than when the Jin soldiers approached Yangzhou City. What should I do? He closed his mouth tightly, did not answer, and at the same time turned his attention to the new Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei. He didn't know what this person could do for him, but at this moment, he was powerless...
Zhu Shengfei followed the rope to the city and had an interview with Miao and Liu, advising them not to do anything and give Zhao Gou, and at the same time leaving a way out for themselves. Miao and Liu agreed with this, and they made a suggestion - ask Empress Dowager Meng, the deposed empress Longyou of Song Zhezong, to rule the country from behind the curtain and jointly manage state affairs with the emperor!
This is very good. Zhu Shengfei was happy. Zhao Gou was surprised. He was in charge of the affairs behind the curtain. It was great! Especially Empress Dowager Meng was so kind and low-key. If she came forward, she would definitely be more gentle than Empress Dowager Cao back then...
The emperor and the prime minister immediately agreed and wrote an edict on the spot to give Empress Dowager Meng a legal political status. But when the edict was read, Miao and Liu did not bow down and said slowly, "The Empress Dowager is Empress Dowager Meng, but who said that the emperor who jointly governs the world with the Empress Dowager is you? We are talking about the current crown prince Zhao Yan."
The whole audience was stunned. Zhao Yan was the only only son of Zhao Gou in his life, but he was not yet one year old. Is such a child going to be the emperor? Before anyone could object, Miao and Liu said, "Do you say it's small? Renzong and Zhezong were also very young when they ascended the throne. It was because of their young that the empress dowager needed to rule behind the curtain. As for the emperor, there are examples in front of you. When Zhao Gou was the emperor, there were at least two emperors. Don't you be the one?" Zhang Kui also added a sentence, "The people are the most important, and the country is the next, and the king is the least. Today's affairs are for the people of the country."
Zhao Gou was speechless. The past scenes appeared in front of him. The reality made him sober. He finally realized something: he could not act arrogantly above billions of people just because he had any noble bloodline, and he would do whatever he wanted. He would have to pay back sooner or later, and anyone who could do something extraordinary would have to leave!
His father was too slutty, and he ended up suffering from the aliens. He was too slutty, so his own people also made him rebellion!
At this time, Zhao Gou had to send someone to the harem to invite Empress Dowager Meng, and could only place his hope on the old woman. After a while, Empress Dowager Meng arrived, Zhao Gou dodged to the side and stood next to a pillar. An official asked him to sit in his original seat. Zhao Gou shook his head and said softly, "You can't sit here anymore."
After many years, Empress Dowager Meng appeared in public again! The first decision she made was extraordinary. She did not walk up the city and talked to the rebels from a distance, but opened the city directly and faced the rebels!
Loneliness is conducive to thinking, and time trains the mind and nature. At this time, Meng was no longer the girl who did not understand the officialdom and was not good at fighting. When she faced Miao and Liu, she was very calm. "The decay in the Song Dynasty was made by Emperor Daojun and the six thieves. What does it have to do with the current emperor? Besides, he did not lose his morality at the beginning, and it was all Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan who were misleading. Now Huang and Wang have been demoted, don't you know these." Avoid the important and reserve the steps. This is a very clever political language.
But Miao Fu was indifferent. He was an adult man and knew not to reason with women. He said rudely and directly, "We just want to support you as the master of the world, and to support the new emperor."
The one who is tough? Meng is even harder than him. "The world is in chaos, and the strong enemy is in front of you. If you want me, an old woman, holds a year-old baby, decides military and political affairs, how can she command the world? The enemy country knows that such a thing will be more despised and bullied us." The implication is: Don't think about it like this!
It makes sense, but unfortunately Miao and Liu don’t care about that long-term situation. It’s hard to get rid of the tiger in front of him, who still thinks about the future? They once again emphasized that they would definitely assign children to the throne and Meng’s rule, and this matter was undiscussed!
At a deadlock... Meng did not either be too hard or soft like Zhao Gou. She had a third way to go. She turned around and looked at Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei. "At this time, the minister was about to make a decision, why didn't you say anything?" History proved: this sentence was decisive! When Zhao Gou was dismissing Huang, Wang immediately mentioned Zhu Shengfei as the prime minister. He used emergency products as a transitional product. However, he did not expect that this was his first aid kit. If this person were not the person, the history of the Southern Song Dynasty would have been rewritten!
At this time, Zhu Shengfei didn't say anything, but turned around and walked back to the city. He looked like Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan's successor. He hid when he encountered something and didn't dare to say a word...
He successfully confused Miao and Liu Rebels. From then on, they believed that this person was a coward and coward, so there was no need to care. But what about it? A little bit: Zhu Shengfei's hobby was reading novels. At that time, it was the Song Dynasty. All kinds of dirty and filthy Ming and Qing novels had not yet been published. All you can see were written by writers of the Tang Dynasty... The novels of the Tang Dynasty were written in legends, passion, vendetta, and loyalty. Even if they were ****, they would definitely be earth-shaking. A person's mind was filled with these every day, and what he did could be imagined...
Zhu Shengfei quietly found Zhao Gou and said that he had just chatted with Miao Fu's confidant, Wang Junfu, who was the one who was in charge of the rebels. Wang Junfu said, "Miao, Liu and others are more loyal and lack knowledge." Zhao Gou hid behind the pillar, with a questioning look...
Zhu Shengfei explained in a low-key manner that "this can be understood as a turning point in the future"
Inadequate knowledge means lack of intelligence? Zhao Gou understood a little. The two chatted quietly for a while, and Li Bing drafted an edict. In the edict, Zhao Gou fully agreed to the rebels' request. From now on, Empress Dowager Meng will rule the country from behind the curtain, and the crown prince Zhao Ying will be promoted to the emperor (known as the Ming emperor in history). Song Gaozong Zhao Gou abdicated and immediately moved out of the palace and stayed in Xianzong Temple. All the eunuchs named by the rebels were exiled, leaving no one left...
The rebels took over the city of Hangzhou in full. In Miao and Liu's opinion, the old woman was in power, the little baby went to court, Zhao Gou abdicated and hid in the monk temple, and the eunuchs were exiled one by one... We are so majestic! What else do we have to do in the future?
Well! By the way! We want to promote ourselves! Miao Fu is the governor of the Wudang Army, and Liu Zhengyan is the governor of the Wucheng Army. After that, we have to define the characteristics of our colleagues. On the 6th, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others all gave a lot of titles. At the same time, Zhang Jun led 00 soldiers to set off today and return to his hometown in Qinfeng Road, northwest... Others took this as an example. No matter whether they were promoted or surrendered, they were not allowed to approach Hangzhou!
On the 10th, Wang Xiaodi was promoted to the Secretariat of the Secretariat, Lu Yi was promoted to the Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu, and to the messenger of the Great Jin Kingdom, Xin Daozong and Zheng Danian were appointed as deputy envoys, and sent to the Jin Kingdom to negotiate...
After doing this, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan felt that the country had settled, but they could enjoy their life quietly. But they didn't know that they had done the most wrong thing, so they were too late to make up for it! What they were doing now can be summarized in one sentence: "Helping the emperor to command the princes" is very powerful, but in fact it is very risky and unnecessary. Cao Cao had no choice but to do this, because there were too many people outside who could be on par with him, or even higher. But Miao and Liu had controlled the emperor, so would it be better to keep the ministers around him under the emperor's orders, kill or control them? Or would it be better to throw them to the periphery and give them an official position and let them develop at will?
At this moment, some people had already begun to develop... It was indeed development. The Miao and Liu transformation was a disaster for Zhao Gou, which was a reshuffle for Jianyan Group. Many people were ruined, but others became successful because of it, and they became the sky in one step, such as Zhang Jun, the Minister of Rites.
This little man who was just a marginal official two years ago suddenly became the core. This is a very strange phenomenon. Sometimes interactions between people are unreasonable, otherwise how could he explain: With his meager official qualifications and no military career past, so many people would take the initiative to join him?
The first person to join him was Zhang Jun. This famous general of the Western Army was infamous. It doesn't matter. He was wearing small shoes everywhere, and even the rebels didn't like him. For other people, Miao and Liu used officials to bribe him and made money on the spot. For him, he actually ordered him to hand over all his 8,000 soldiers to Zhao Zhe, and he brought back 00 soldiers back to the northwest! Northwest... there was a border between the Western Xia and the Jin Kingdom, and there would be a life-and-death battle soon. This was obviously going to kill him...
At this time, a commander named Xin Yongzong came from Hangzhou to Zhang Jun's army in Wujiang County, Suzhou, and told him what happened in Hangzhou... At the critical moment, Zhang Jun said that this matter was very complicated. I will take you to see Zhang Jun, the Minister of Rites. I, Zhang Jun, follow his arrangements!
On the 10th, Zhang Jun brought 8,000 soldiers to the road and came to Pingjiang Prefecture, Suzhou to join Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun, who was holding his head and crying as soon as he met, quickly decided to raise an army to support the king and support Zhao Gou to restore the throne!
It is not outrageous that Zhang Jun came to seek help, and the next one was very unusual. Lu Yihao from Jiangning Mansion sent someone to contact Zhang Jun. You should know that Lu Yihao's current official title is only under Zhu Shengfei, far exceeding Zhang Jun. Such a person not only took the initiative to reach out, but also brought 10,000 soldiers to the road, claiming to join forces with Zhang Jun to quell the rebellion.
The third one is Liu Guangshi, the Great Yanei. Liu Guangshi, who was in Zhenjiang Prefecture, watched from side to side nervously, measured carefully, and used his expertise of maximizing his interests regardless of whether he listened to orders or not. Who would he decide to listen to?
Zhang Jun's order came soon. He ordered Liu Guangshi, the governor of the Ministry of Rites, to lead his troops to serve the king, and set off immediately to meet with Lu Yihao! Liu Guangshi slapped his thighs and looked sharp, so he listened to this!
