Yuan Zuo goes crazy
One day in June, a young man from Dangxiang, who had just turned 20 in Yinzhou City, brought dozens of followers to the city gate with his wet nurse's coffin. He told Song Jun who was holding the door that he wanted to go outside the city to bury the wet nurse.
The reason was sufficient, and his identity was not too noble. It was just that Li Ji promoted a clan brother. At that time, he was the official position of the Ministry of Education.
In this way, they left the city, then took out the bow and arrow weapons from the coffin, rode their horses for more than 300 miles, and fled into the Dijinze area deep in the grassland. It was here that the resistance of the Dangxiang people began, and the prototype of the Xixia Kingdom began to appear...
This young man from Dangxiang is named Li Jiqian, and he is the grandfather of Li Yuanhao, the founding monarch of the future Western Xia Dynasty...
Looking back at the history of the Xia Dangxiang people and the Song Dynasty people - Li Yiyin (Xing), Li Guangrui (Ke) Rui, Li Jiyun, Li Jipang... The Dangxiang people were not sorry for the Song Dynasty at all, and they didn't even have a little bit of rude offense. But the Shangguo **** bullied them, and when they had a national scum, they couldn't wait to rob their homes. Yes. You can say that there is no morality between countries, only interests. Zhao Guangyi followed the emperor's way, and it was normal for them to rob them. Then the resistance of the Xixia people and their revenge were normal. No matter what others did, the Song Dynasty people should have nothing to say.
But at that time, everything was just beginning, and it was a time when there were no advantages but no disadvantages. The Song Dynasty's monarchs celebrated each other, and then even greater good news came from the sky...
On September 24, 35-year-old Liao Jingzong Yelu Xian died of illness suddenly. His eldest son Yelu Longxu, who was only 12 years old, succeeded to the throne. What does such a child know? The power of the Great Liao emperor fell into the hands of his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo.
At least at this time, Xiao Chuo did not show her determination and calmness in becoming Empress Dowager Xiao in the future. Instead, she cried in public, "The mother is weak and the clan is strong, and the border defense is not stable. What should I do?" These 12 words deeply point out the internal and external troubles of the Liao Dynasty at this time, and it is time to need a pillar of the sky. Han Derang and Yelu Xizhen and two others were responsible for the will of the emperor to assist in the administration. They said 8 words: "Trust ministers, etc., why worry about it." They and the Great Liao War God Yelu Xiuge supported the shaky country for the mother and son, and began the great rejuvenation of the Khitan tribe that was later called the "Revival of the Holy Sect"...
On December 14, Han Derang's father, Han Kuang, died in Nanjing, Great Liao. On January 19, the 8th year of Taiping Xingguo (983), Yelu Xiuge succeeded the Liao Nanjing, Nanjing...
Zhao Guangyi, do you want to take advantage of this great opportunity to carry out the second Northern Expedition? Let’s wait! Something happened to Cao Bin.
If you were Cao Bin, the first soldier at that time, and found that your soldiers were not paid enough, and your life could not last. What should you do? Ask the emperor? The emperor would not give it. And you have so much salary and are the old leader you love. So is it a virtue to pay some of your subordinates out of your own pocket? But do you believe it or not? And it is a sin among the sins that all emperors in China cannot bear!
So a small official called Midechao suddenly reported him, and the crime was very serious because he bought the morale of the army!
In times of crisis, none of his many acquaintances dared to come forward to persuade him, especially his good friends in the military, such as Pan Mei. As long as he dared to speak, he would add fuel to the fire and make the emperor misunderstand that the army had formed a gang. Only one of the political affairs officials, Guo Zhi, stood up and made a fuss to advise him.
On the 21st, Cao Bin was dismissed from the position of Privy Council and demoted to the governor of the Tianping Army. On the 22nd, the informant Midechao was promoted from a local small official in Zhenzhou to the envoy of the Northern Court of Xuanhui and Deputy Privy Council. To compare, the envoy of the Northern Court of Xuanhui was the honor that Pan Mei received only after conquering the entire Southern Han Dynasty! In addition, the Deputy Privy Council of Privy Council... was lucky enough to make the entire Song Dynasty jealous. But can you imagine it? After receiving the order, Midechao was very angry and felt too wronged! Why was the Deputy Privy Council of Privy Council? Why couldn't he directly replace Cao Bin as the Chief Privy Council of Privy Council?
In this way, Midechao, who had just taken office, found the next goal with a stronger ambition and a keen sense of smell. Soon, he found it.
In April, Midechao began an open and insulting attack again, "Wang Xian, Chai Yuxi bewitched the emperor, and became a high-ranking official without any merits! And he had the great contribution to protecting the country, but he was at his lower rank. Unfair."
But the person involved, Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi, did not know at all, and were not angry. They went directly to the palace and reported Midechao's original words to the emperor without changing their words. Zhao Guangyi was furious and immediately dismissed the newly appointed Shumi Mi and his family were sent to Qiongzhou!
The reason is actually very simple. Wang Xian and Chai Yuxi were also unknown more than a year ago. Their rapid promotion was entirely because they sued the Former Qin King Zhao Tingmei for "there will be a conspiracy to steal the news", but Midechao said that these two people were "deceived the emperor". That is to say that the case of Zhao Tingmei was fake, and these two people were false accusations? That is to say that Emperor Zhao Guangyi abused his fourth brother and made a mistake?
In this way, Midechao soared into the sky in January, and then went straight to hell in April of that year, becoming a legend in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. He left and never came again... On June 15, Wang Xian became the Privy Councilor, and Chai Yuxi became the Southern Court of Xuanhui and the Deputy Privy Councilor.
In March, Zhao Guangyi divided the three departments of the Ministry of Finance of the Song Dynasty into three departments: salt, iron, tutor, and tutor, and tutor. Each department was appointed to envoy.
On June 10, the Emperor of the Emperor of Liao, Yelu Longxu, led his ministers to respect his mother Xiao Chuo as the Empress Dowager Chengtian and Emperor Tianfu himself. The reign changed to Tonghe and the country's name was changed to the Great Khitan. On the 23rd, all the officials of the Great Khitan were promoted to the first level. On August 11, in front of Empress Dowager Xiao, the Lord of Liao, Yelu Longxu, and a famous general Yelu Xizhen, became sworn brothers.
In October, Zhao Pu, who had just resumed prime minister for two years, was dismissed for the second time and became the governor of the Wusheng Army. On November 1, Song Qi, former chief political affairs officers and Li Fang, two of them, were transferred to the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. On the 3rd, he issued an edict to the position of prime minister in the future to be above Zhao Guangyi's sons.
On the 16th, Zhao Guangyi personally held a banquet in Changchun Hall to give Zhao Pu away, and wrote a poem on the spot to leave. Zhao Pu held the imperial poem in his hand and suddenly burst into tears, "Your Majesty gave me poems, which should be engraved on stones, and buried under the spring with the rotten bones of his ministers." I don't know what was written in the poem, which made Zhao Pu think of life and death. Zhao Guangyi was also moved by it. The next day, the emperor still couldn't calm down and said to his close ministers, "Zhao Pu has made great contributions to the country, and I was friends with him when I was still an ordinary person. Now that he is old, I let him go to a good place to retire safely. He is grateful and cry, and I sigh."
But the officialdom did not believe in tears. Zhao Pu was forced to step down, which immediately gave everyone with a heart to see the opportunity. On December 25, Zhao Pu just left the capital and appeared on "Song of Heping", which contained two sentences "Rebellion against Xun and the enemy went out of the desert, and the enemy was outside the screen". Xun: Lu Duosun, Pu: Zhao Pu. They rebelled against each other and the emperor drove them away, so the emperor was wise! However, Zhao Guangyi was furious and drove Mr. Hu out of the capital on the 26th, demoted the official and fined his salary, so he completely tasted the taste of flattering the horse's hooves.
In fact, behind Zhao Pu's rescinding the prestigious situation this time, there is the saddest contradiction for Zhao Guangyi as an ordinary person - his eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Chu.
Just the month when Zhao Pu stopped prefecture, Zhao Guangyi changed his sons' names from "De" to "Yuan", which was completely different from his brother Zhao Kuangyin and younger brother Zhao Tingmei's sons (they were both "De" generation), the eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo, the second son Zhao Yuanyou, the third son King Han, Zhao Yuanxiu (the future Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng), the fourth son King Ji, Zhao Yuanjun (his grandson is the future Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu), the fifth son King Yi, Zhao Yuanjie.
From then on, the descendants of the great slut were the only one in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty and became the only legal bloodline of the throne. Among them was Zhao Pu's merits. It is said that Zhao Guangyi used his brother's routine to ask Zhao Pu whether he wanted to pass the throne to Tingmei. Zhao Pu replied, "The late emperor was wrong, how could your majesty be wrong again?" and planned to get rid of Zhao Tingmei. Logically, Zhao Guangyi wanted to thank him, and his sons were even more grateful to him. But in fact? Zhao Pu's fall of the prestigious state was facilitated by Zhao Guangyi's eldest son and the first heir to the throne, Zhao Yuanzuo.
Looking at the five thousand years of Chinese history, countless people are fighting for fame and fortune and regard it as natural. Is there anyone who is at the throne at will, but they are just tormented by the conscience in their hearts and are they willing to refuse?
Zhao Yuanzuo, you are a noble person, a person who is free from low-level interests! When your father tried his best to hold the crown of the Song Dynasty in a pool of blood, he thought you would be ecstatic, but unexpectedly you said coldly, because it was covered with the blood of your uncle, your cousin, and your uncle!
Just when your uncle was framed for no reason, you tried your best to defend it and save it, but your big bitch father insisted on his own, and his uncle was exiled in the end. You have no choice but to expose this anger on your accomplice. So you strongly ask your father to drive Zhao Pu away!
On January 16, 984, the 9th year of Taiping Xingguo (984), a news came from Fangzhou, which first made Zhao Guangyi feel relieved, and then he regretted it.
Zhao Tingmei died at the age of 38.
Zhao Yuanzuo was "crazy". Everyone knows that he was holding his father back in a strange way - you are a great emperor, and I am a lowly madman. This is what you hope for!
His son was "crazy", and the big bitch couldn't regret it. He searched for famous doctors and good medicines to cure diseases across the country, and immigrated the whole world to pray for his son.
On the other hand, his brother Zhao Tingmei's sudden death also made him very sad. One day, he suddenly said to the prime minister, "Tingmei was very stubborn when she was a child, and even more ferocious when she grew up. I have always tolerated him because I was his brother. I moved him to Fangzhou, just to calm down and think about his mistakes. I just wanted to resent his grace, but he died. I am sad! But I can't do anything about it." So he posthumously named Zhao Tingmei the King of Fuling and personally mourned him. But soon after, Zhao Guangyi said another to the prime ministers, "Do you know? In fact, Tingmei is not my brother of the same mother, his mother is the old Chen Guo.
Mrs. Geng, my wet nurse... Later, Chen left my house and married Zhao's surname, and gave birth to another son named Zhao Tingjun. Because of Tingmei, I was very kind to Tingjun. But their brothers colluded with each other and wanted to assassinate me in Jin Mingchi. If such a thing is handed over to the relevant yamen to investigate and deal with it, Tingmei would definitely not be punished. But I just asked him to go to Luoyang, Xijing, to avoid villains, and to wake up. But Tingmei became more aggressive and rude, so I moved him to Fangzhou. That was to protect him. As for Tingjun, I was just demoted. I have no losses to Tingmei."
Faced with such artificiality by the big bitch, I can no longer make any comments. Let's listen to the answer of his prime minister Li Fang, "Fuling is rebellious, and the whole world is informed. And if it weren't for Your Majesty's complaint and declaration, how can I know it?" Everything is what you said by yourself, how can we answer? But no matter how many pricks there are in the words, Zhao Guangyi seems to have achieved his goal - that is not my mother and younger brother, and he is from a humble background... so I don't care about him no matter how I do it.
No matter what, this is an internal struggle between the royal family. The people of the world and civil and military officials did not want to get involved. So on April 5, the people of Taishan asked Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty to come to Fengshan. On the 8th, the officials of civil and military officials submitted three requests for Fengshan. On the 14th, the emperor issued an edict to go to Taishan in November this year. On the 16th, Hu Meng, Jia Huangzhong, Xu Xuan and others ordered the etiquette of Fengshan. On the 19th, he ordered the road from Kaifeng to Taishan. On the 20th, Prime Minister Song Qi was appointed as the envoy of Fengshan. But on June 23, two months later, he suddenly issued an edict to stop the vigorous preparations for Fengshan. Big bitch, are you going to bully others? Are you bullying the heavens?
In September, good news came from Xiazhou. The magistrate Yin Xian sneaked into Li Jiqian's deep grassland and succeeded in one fell swoop. Li Jiqian's mother and wife were captured. Li Jiqian himself was spared and escaped deeper into the grassland. So the emperor gave Li Ji the name Zhao Baozhong, asking him to be the governor of the difficult situation and manage his own five states. At the same time, he was given a task: to wipe out Li Jiqian.
In October, Chen Tuan, an old god in Huashan, was invited by Zhao Guangyi to visit Kaifeng. On the 8th, Zhao Guangyi gave Chen Tuan the name of Mr. Xiyi.
On November 21, the big bitch probably felt that the reign of Taiping Xingguo was inappropriate, so he changed the reign to Yongxi. On December 17, Li Chuyun's daughter and Li Jilong's sister were appointed as his third queen.
In February of the 2nd year of Yongxi (985), two old acquaintances came down from Yinzhou City: Li Jiqian and his younger brother Li Jichong. They did not bring their entourage, and called Kaicheng empty-handedly and walked into the commander of Cao Guangshi, the head coach of the Northwest Legion of the Song Dynasty.
"I have been defeated several times. Now I have no choice but to gain a foothold. Can I allow me to surrender?" Li Jiqian said.
Cao Guangshi was overjoyed and agreed to Li Jiqian's surrender. He took more than 100 cavalrymen immediately. Li Jiqian's brothers were the leader and rushed to Jialuchuan to receive Li Jiqian's remnants. He quickly arrived at the destination, where he was really waiting for many Dangxiang people. However, with Li Jiqian's order, suddenly thousands of arrows were fired at once, and Cao Guangshi and more than 100 cavalry were killed... Li Jiqian stripped off their armor, dressed neatly, and returned to Yinzhou City. So Yinzhou City fell... The Song Dynasty also responded quickly. In June, Wang Pu, the son of the first minister of the Five Dynasties, defeated Li Jiqian in the north of Yinzhou City. Li Jiqian had nothing again and fled into the vast Gobi wasteland...
