Chapter 261: Zhao Kuangyin's doubts
Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne in Nanchang and became the emperor and established the Great Song Dynasty, but there were two regrettable things that always made him linger.
First, his family members are all in Kaifeng, and he ascended the throne in Nanchang as the emperor, which is tantamount to sending his family to the butcher's knife of Guo Zongxun, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Second, his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi was taken hostage by Guo Zongxun, the little emperor of Zhou, and it is estimated that he has also been poisoned by Guo Zongxun.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Kuangyin's heart hurt very much, but he didn't dare to show the slightest negative emotion in front of the civil and military officials.
"Everyone, Aiqing, my Great Song Dynasty is the capital of Nanchang, the whole city celebrates for three days, there is no curfew, except for the soldiers on normal duty who cannot drink, the rest of the soldiers and generals of the Dingyan Army are not allowed to drink within three days."
"Your Majesty is wise, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Starting from the commander of the general of the Dingyan Army, all the way to the ordinary soldiers, except for the families of the court officials in Nanchang City, the rest of the women, whoever takes a fancy to it first is whoever, and the nuns and Taoist aunts are also included."
"Your Majesty, Shengming, my Great Song Dynasty will definitely swear allegiance to Your Majesty."
"The loyal and righteous army went to the front line, assumed the heavy responsibility of guarding the land and defending the country, and passed on my will, the chief general of the loyal army was awarded the earl, the partial general was awarded the viscount, and the general was awarded the baron, and the whole army was informed that those who fought bravely to kill the enemy, even if they were ordinary soldiers, could also be promoted to the rank of marquis by virtue of accumulated military merits."
"Your Majesty, my loyal soldiers will definitely swear allegiance to Your Majesty."
Zhao Kuangyin also learned Guo Zongxun's strategy, the title can be sealed, but there is absolutely no fiefdom or anything.
A knighthood is a symbol of honor, and it cannot be hereditary.
Half of the Dingyan army was divided and continued the southern expedition, Zhao Kuangyin's idea was to bypass Wu Yue and fight to the beach first.
At the beginning, Zhao Pu gave him an idea, recruited a lot of ship-making craftsmen from the Yangtze River, as long as there was time, as long as he could resist the fierce offensive of the Great Zhou army for half a year to a year, Zhao Kuangyin was confident that he could build a fleet that could go to sea.
Zhao Kuangyin's plan to build a sea fleet was not to copy Guo Zongxun's global colonial strategy, but to leave himself an extra way back.
What is the strength of the army of the Great Zhou, Zhao Kuangyin knows very well, and what is the strength of the strongest army of the Great Zhou, Zhao Kuangyin is also very clear.
He ascended the throne and became the emperor, it was a last resort, if he didn't do it, and if he didn't ascend the throne and become the emperor, his henchmen who wanted to learn from the dragon's merits couldn't wait.
If you can't wait, a lot of ideas will be born.
For example, another person was nominated to replace Zhao Kuangyin.
For example, leaving Zhao Kuangyin and voting for another master.
Another example is to simply return to the Great Zhou court and expose Zhao Kuangyin's intention to rebel to the Great Zhou Emperor......
This is the so-called long night dream, especially after Zhao Pu's defeat, Zhao Kuangyin keenly realized that if he hesitated again, this person's heart would be tossed and scattered by him.
ascending the throne and becoming emperor is not to satisfy Zhao Kuangyin's ambitions, because he clearly knows that now is definitely not the best time to rebel.
The hasty ascension to the throne and the title of emperor is to satisfy the desire of the confidants and generals for the merits of the dragon.
Many people are so short-sighted, they only see what is in front of them.
How many people can really be far-sighted and discerning?
Nanchang City is a scene of celebration and excitement, the imperial city of the Song Kingdom directly occupies the palace of the original Southern Tang Dynasty, and even repairs are saved, Zhao Kuangyin has no intention of staying here for long.
Therefore, he gave the order that his generals and soldiers could rob women at will.
A monarch who really wants to govern the country and the country will never give such an order.
Thinking of his old mother, wife and children who were far away in Kaifeng, he was afraid that he had been killed by Guo Zongxun at this time, Zhao Kuangyin felt very painful, and it was he who wanted to rebel, and it could not be said that he was instigated by anyone.
It's just that providence plays tricks on people, and what was originally a good start was suddenly messed up.
In Zhao Kuangyin's original plan, even if Guo Rong did not die, he would have a way to usurp power and rebel, as long as he had enough military power in his hands.
At the beginning, Guo Wei raised troops to rebel against the Northern Han Dynasty, and the troops in his hands were less than half of the total strength of the Northern Han Dynasty.
At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin's plan went very smoothly, and everyone of the ten brothers of the Yishe mixed very well, and Zhao Kuangyin was very popular in the Great Zhou court, whether it was a civil official or a military general.
When he was promoted all the way to the deputy capital of the front of the palace with his military merits, he encountered the first obstacle in front of him, Taizu and his horse Zhang Yongde.
With Zhao Pu's advice, in the army, in Kaifeng, and even in Luoyang, Taizu was dissatisfied that Taizu did not pass the throne to him, but passed it to Guo Rong, and complained repeatedly, and was very disrespectful to the emperor and Guo Rong......
As for the other opponent Li Chongjin, there is no need for Zhao Kuangyin to spread any rumors to him, the three words "want to rebel" are written on Li Chongjin's face.
At that time, the emperor Guo Rong guarded against Li Chongjin the most strictly, and relied on Zhang Yongde very much, otherwise he would not have handed over the position of inspector in front of the palace to Zhang Yongde.
Under the successful operation of Zhao Kuangyin, although Zhang Yongde was not removed by Guo Rong, his trust was greatly reduced, which has actually achieved his goal.
Zhao Kuangyin was just waiting for a suitable moment.
This opportunity is Guo Rong's march to recover Yanyun in Liao, as long as Guo Rongnen gives himself more than 100,000 troops in his hands, as long as Guo Rong still leaves himself in the military aircraft of the Chinese Army, Zhao Kuangyin is sure to secretly assassinate Guo Rong, and then announce Guo Rong's posthumous edict to the outside world, and seal Zhao Kuangyin as an auxiliary general, and take a look at all the military aircraft of the Great Zhou.
As long as this plan can be successful, the seven-year-old little emperor Guo Zongxun, for Zhao Kuangyin, he didn't think too much about it at all.
When the time comes, compile an edict from Guo Zongxun to him Zhao Kuangyin, make three concessions and three resignations, and finally under the support of hundreds of civil and military officials, ascend to the great treasure, become the emperor, and achieve the pinnacle of his life.
Everything went very smoothly, Zhang Yongde ...... Wait, it seems like that's where the problem started.
Zhao Kuangyin's original purpose was to spread rumors about Zhang Yongde's desire to rebel, no matter how ridiculous this rumor was, as long as Guo Rong could be suspicious, as long as Zhang Yongde could be pulled down from the position of the former superintendent of the palace......
But the result is ...... Zhang Yongde was just left out in the cold for a while, and then reinstated.
Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, and it was from here that his Jackie Chan plan suffered frequent setbacks, so that it finally collapsed and completely changed.
It seems that these all began to happen after Guo Zongxun, the fourth prince at that time, accidentally fell into the water.
"Yes, it's Guo Zongxun, I finally figured it out, the real core that blocked my plan to seize power in Kaifeng is Guo Zongxun, the current son of heaven in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it must be him, otherwise, so many unthinkable things would not have happened."
