Chapter 300: Heartburn (5)
The trump card in Zhao Pu's hand is the "Golden Alliance" that has been sleeping for twenty years.
Zhao Pu did not mention the matter of "The Alliance of Jinkui" after meeting Zhao Guangyi, but Zhao Guangyi had already guessed that he had a killer weapon in his hands; Otherwise, he would not have told Zhao Tingmei's ill-intentioned actions at this time.
Sure enough, the day after Zhao Pu met Zhao Guangyi; This guy immediately went on a secret recital, first complaining that he was "a former minister of the founding of the country, and he was frustrated by the power and luck"; Then he told the story of the "Golden Alliance" back then.
Zhao Guangyi immediately found the golden treasure that Zhao Pu said, and after opening it, he saw this covenant; But it is a "three-pass contract".
What is the three transmission covenants, that is, Zhao Kuangyin passed on Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi passed on Zhao Tingmei, and Zhao Tingmei passed Zhao Kuangyin's son Zhao Dezhao.
In this way, the imperial power is still in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin and Yizhi; And it is very unfavorable to Zhao Guangyi, who has always wanted to pass on his descendants.
So Zhao Guangyi "had a great feeling" and immediately summoned Zhao Pu into the palace and sighed apologetically: "Who is not wrong? I don't wait for fifty years, I already know that forty-nine years is not the same! β
This is said very tactfully, it seems that Zhao Guangyi admitted his mistake in front of Zhao Pu - he treated him slowly.
So what Zhao Pu, who is scheming, wants Zhao Guangyi's words, and he willingly comes to be an eagle dog.
In a word, Zhao Pu is for his own selfish desires; To help Zhao Guangyi eradicate Zhao Tingmei - isn't this completely against the principles of the "Golden Alliance"?
For thousands of years, people have been suspicious of the so-called "Golden Alliance", thinking that it was made up by Zhao Pu in order to be promoted.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if there is really a "Golden Kui Alliance", then the content contained in it is that the "Three Transmissions Covenant" seems to be unfavorable to Zhao Guangyi.
But Zhao Pu can use "The Alliance of Jinkui" as evidence to prove the legitimacy of Zhao Guangyi's succession, and at the same time, in the shadow of "The Alliance of Jinkui", Zhao Tingmei was accused of "rebellion" and got rid of it.
Things really went forward according to Zhao Pu's layout.
A few days later, Zhao Pu was promoted to Situ and Servant, returning to the center of imperial power.
A few days later, Zhao Guangyi asked Zhao Pu a major and sensitive question: How should the throne be passed on in the future? Zhao Pu said categorically: "Taizu has made a mistake! How can Your Majesty allow any more mistakes? β
Zhao Pu's face as an eagle dog is exposed, and he is determined to tamper with history; So much so that the biggest adviser of the "yellow robe" has been criticized for thousands of years.
Zhao Guangyi was very satisfied with Zhao Pu's words and appointed Zhao Pu as prime minister again.
Only half a year later, Zhao Tingmei's rebellion broke out; Ludosun was also implicated in his death.
Zhao Pu finally got his wish, not only restored the prime minister, but also killed his old opponent, and released his previous suspicions with Zhao Guangyi.
Zhao Guangyi also relieved his worries, eliminated all potential contenders for the throne for his descendants, and ensured that Emperor Zuo was in a single line.
After Zhao Pu became the prime minister again, the content of the "Golden Kui Alliance" also changed - the "Three Transmission Covenant" became the "Independent Transmission Covenant", that is, Zhao Kuangyin passed on to Zhao Guangyi, and it stopped at one pass.
The "Exclusive Covenant" seems to be unbelievable, if someone wants to ask: why did Zhao Kuangyin pass the throne to Zhao Guangyi, and let Zhao Guangyi pass it on to his descendants instead of his own descendants?
Obviously, the "Independence Covenant" is suspected of being fabricated, and it was made by Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi.
The problem is the history of the Song Dynasty. The record in Zhao Tingmei's biography is the "Three Transmission Covenant", that is, Zhao Kuangyin's biography is located in Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi's biography is located in Zhao Tingmei, and Zhao Tingmei's biography is located in Zhao Dezhao.
With these three passes, the throne finally returned to the Taizu line, which not only ensured that the country had a long monarch, but also allowed Zhao Kuangyinyin and his descendants.
At this point, the truth of the "Golden Alliance" finally surfaced, and all questions were finally answered.
It is precisely because the original covenant is a "three-pass covenant" that Zhao Pu, who was scheming at the beginning of Zhao Guangyi's accession to the throne, was not in a hurry to play this trump card.
Because Zhao Guangyi has just ascended the throne, it is impossible to get rid of his younger brother and two nephews immediately, and he needs to put on a show; It will take time to consolidate power, and at the same time it will be necessary to wait for the moment to strike.
It was when Zhao Pu saw these that he chose to continue to forbear; Like Zhao Guangyi, silently waiting for the best time to appear.
The opportunity finally appeared in the sixth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, when Zhao Guangyi decided to get rid of Zhao Tingmei, Zhao Pu resolutely threw out the "Three Transmission Covenant" that had been hidden for 20 years.
After Zhao Guangyi opened the golden treasure, when he found the "Three Transmission Covenant" that was extremely unfavorable to him, his horror can be imagined; He would even be grateful to Zhao Pu for keeping this shocking secret for him.
Only in this case, as the emperor, Zhao Guangyi will take the initiative to throw an olive branch to this old enemy, and then promote him.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Guangyi will send a test to Zhao Pu: Since it is a "three-pass contract", how should the throne be passed on according to your meaning? Zhao Pu replied very beautifully: "Taizu is mistaken!" How can Your Majesty allow any more mistakes? Not only did he not lose the position he adhered to, but also showed that he was definitely Zhao Guangyi's ally. Zhao Guangyi was moved again, and at this point, the old enemies for many years finally let go of their old suspicions and shook hands and made peace.
Since both of them think that the "three-pass contract" is unreasonable, let's change it! As a result, the "Golden Kui Alliance", which recorded the "Three Transmission Covenants", was tampered with by Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu, and when it was made public, it had become the "Exclusive Transmission Covenant".
Half a year later, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu joined forces to launch an operation against Zhao Tingmei until they persecuted him to death. Of course, out of an exchange of interests, Zhao Guangyi had to betray his henchman and Zhao Pu's political opponent Lu Duoxun and let him be buried with Zhao Tingmei.
At this point, it can be inferred that the "Jinkui Alliance" was completed in the second year of Jianlong, and the original content was the "Three Transmission Covenant", the purpose of which was to ensure that the state had a long monarch, and finally the throne was passed back to Zhao Kuangyin.
The "Jinkui Alliance" announced in the sixth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation was a forgery that Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu had made the most significant tampering with, changing the "Three Inheritance Covenant" to the "Exclusive Inheritance Covenant", with the purpose of maintaining the legitimacy of Zhao Guangyi's succession to the throne and getting rid of other potential heirs to the throne. To sum up, the "Golden Alliance" is not an outright lie, but a reformed political fake.
The steps in the persecution of Zhao Tingmei began when he participated in the opening and ribbon cutting of Liu Min's carriage and horse skating pole walk.
Liu Min killed Jiang Qing and Yang Guang, the two killers of the Imperial City Division, on the side of Xiwazi in the state, and rushed to Yishu Garden, Huojiazhuang, west of the city; The 100 forbidden troops led by Shenyang and Han Fei have killed Jing Huijing and Zhu San, and Grandpa Huo and Gong Huangxing are seriously injured but still fighting with the officers and soldiers.
Liu Min's arrival dug graves for Shenyang and Han Fei; Shen Yang and Han Fei were killed by Liu Min, and 100 forbidden troops were scattered.
After Liu Min drove away the forbidden army, he saw that Yishu Yuan was in a mess, and knew that the forbidden army that fled back to the capital would make a comeback; He groaned for a while and said, "Da Yin is hidden in the city, let's leave here and enter the city immediately!" β
Liang Ding saw Liu Min say this, stepped forward and said, "Is it necessary to go to the city when Aunt Min said to go to the carriage and horse sliding pole?" You can't go to that place! β
Liu Min Zhenzhen said: "If you don't go to the carriage and horse sliding pole, you will have already been targeted by officers and soldiers; Let's go to the Gong Kee silversmith shop of Daxiangguo Temple! β
Liang Ding and the others were stunned by Liu Min's words, and Liu Min relieved his atmosphere and said: "We suffered a lot of losses in the attack of officers and soldiers this time, Zhang Jing, Jing Huijing, and Zhu San were unfortunately killed, and Grandpa Huo and Gong Niangniang are now seriously injured; We have to find a place to heal both of them! β
Liu Min paused as he spoke: "Gong Mei found a place to open a silversmith shop in Daxiangguo Temple, which is a small village, let's go there to live first; Let's arrange the rest of the story! β
Seeing Liu Min say this, the fire buffalo couldn't wait and said, "Then can we still do the carriage and horse sliding pole shop that we just opened?" β
Liu Min let out a long sigh and said, "Stop for a while and see where the wind goes!" β
Liu Min and his entourage pulled Grandpa Huo and Gong Huangxing in a carriage and headed for the city; Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu are planning how to get rid of Zhao Tingmei.
Zhao Guangyi had already got rid of Zhao Kuangyin's two sons, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, before he knew Zhao Tingmei.
Zhao Dezhao was made clear by Zhao Guangyi after the defeat of the Battle of Gaoliang River in 979 AD, and in March 981 AD, Shannan Xidao Jiedu envoy and Tongping Zhangshi Defang died at the age of 23.
After Zhao Defang's death, Zhao Guangyi gave him a book order, posthumously crowned King Qi, and Kanghui.
People are dead and want so many titles and fart, but Zhao Guangyi is just pretending to be a bodhisattva.
Just like when he ascended the throne, he named his brother Zhao Tingmei as Kaifeng Yin and established him as the crown prince, and he always had to decorate the faΓ§ade on the surface; But behind the scenes, he had already prepared a knife.
The historical record is so simple that we have no way of knowing whether there was a conspiracy or not.
Zhao Kuangyin's two sons died, which fundamentally put an end to the impossibility of the throne as the "Three Passes Covenant" mentioned by the Jinkui Alliance.
Once the condition of the three-pass covenant disappears, where will the remaining Zhao Tingmei go?
In September of this year, "there will be a conspiracy to steal from the Qin Dynasty, such as Chai Yuxi, the envoy of Beijing, and others to sue the Qin King Tingmei." β
These spearheads are directly aimed at Zhao Tingmei, not only to make his reputation stink; It is also linked to a conspiracy to rebel.
All this seems to prove that there is an invisible hand behind the development of the situation; hopes to put Zhao Tingmei to death, and Chai Yuxi and the others are just a chess piece.
At this time, Zhao Pu was depressed and turned over the long-forgotten Jinkui Alliance; and reprocessed the last words of the Empress Dowager Du, whitewashed Zhao Guangyi's legitimacy, and completely expelled Zhao Tingmei from the imperial court.
Shi Zai: "So Pu re-entered the phase, and Tingmei was offended." If Tingmei is offended, it will be universal. β
Zhao Pu is not only the director of the Golden Alliance, but also acts as a thug of power; caused Zhao Tingmei to embark on the road of death.
In the seventh year of Song Taizong's Taiping rejuvenation (982 AD), the conspiracy of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei, to usurp the throne was revealed, and Song Taizong deposed Zhao Tingmei's Kaifeng Mansion Yin.
Zhao Guangyi remembered his brotherhood and made many military exploits, so he still made him stay in Xijing (now Luoyang). Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei, was a clan, and all of them temporarily moved to Xijing.
After Zhao Tingmei was demoted and appointed to stay in Xijing, he secretly still frequently colluded with Lu Duoxun, the secretary of the military department (this was obviously Zhao Pu's frame-up again); The collusion between the two was revealed, and Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin, was dismissed from Xijing to stay behind, stripped of all official positions, and only kept the empty name of the king of Qin to live at home.
Zhao Tingmei lived idly in Xijing, and later descended to the king of Qin and was knighted as the prince of Fuling County; Moved to Fangzhou (now Fang County, Hubei Province).
In the first year of Yongxi of Song Taizong (984 AD), Zhao Tingmei moved his family to Fangzhou, and soon after moving there, he became ill with palpitations and vomited blood, at the age of 38......
