Chapter 094: Succession (6)

Zhao Guangyi saw that he opposed Zhao Kuangyin's plan to move the capital, and the imperial brother was silent, so he said with a heartbeat: "An Tianxia lies in virtue and politics rather than in the danger of the terrain, Chang'an and Luoyang have withered since the Anshi Rebellion, and Kaifeng has continuously improved the building during the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, merchants gathered, the city was solid, and the economy took off; My brother is thinking about moving the capital to Luoyang and Chang'an, which is nothing more than a child's amusement! ”

Zhao Guangyi repeated the sentence of the child player again, and this sentence was like a steel knife stabbing Zhao Kuangyin's heart.

Zhao Guangyi's attitude against moving the capital to Luoyang and Chang'an was undeniable and very resolute; The accompanying ministers all agreed, which made Zhao Kuangyin feel even more embarrassed.

Zhao Kuangyin was very unhappy in his heart, but he sighed helplessly: "In less than a hundred years, the people in the world will be exhausted!" ”

I don't know if Zhao Kuangyin was prescient or history has its inevitable laws, the words he said in Luoyang turned out to be a fact 151 years later.

The Jurchen people who rose on the side of the Heilongjiang River in the northeast stepped on the Bianliang, and Zhao Guangyi racked his brains to seize the throne and usurp the imperial power to dissipate; His two descendants, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong and Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong, were taken prisoners of the Jin people and escorted to the desolate Five Kingdoms City, while tens of thousands of court ministers, palace maids, and craftsmen wandered in the northern territory as captives of the Jurchens, freezing to death and starving to death in chariots and boats; Many of the queen's concubines were also bought into the laundry room - the Jinv courtyard of the Jurchens.

Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have just discovered that King Jin's wings were full at this moment, and it was already very difficult for him to shake it.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't convince Zhao Guangyi and the ministers, and the two confronted each other; From April to Luoyang Road, June returned to Kaifeng for two full months, and finally Zhao Kuangyin's overall situation also stranded the plan to move the capital.

Please note that it is stranded rather than giving up, Zhao Kuangyin wants to retreat as advance to re-accumulate the strength to move the capital; But he did not realize his plan to move the capital during his lifetime.

Zhao Kuangyin returned to Bianjing depressed, feeling that he had done a grievance as the emperor; He hated Zhao Guangyi, who was a petty man who only cared about his immediate interests and did not consider the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin had no intention of staying in the capital, so he didn't stay for a few days and brought a few cronies to Weifu for a private visit; But as soon as he came back, Mrs. Hua Rui came to complain, saying that the evil son Zhao Guangyi overlord had forcibly taken possession of her.

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood, and then took the jade pillar axe in his hand and danced to cut Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Kuangyin usually likes to carry an axe with him - to be precise, this is an object similar to a ruler, not a weapon, but a plaything, and the scientific name is the jade pillar axe.

According to the research of later generations, Zhao Kuangyin's beloved jade pillar axe, called the axe, is shaped like Ruyi, and the material is probably jade or crystal.

On weekdays, Zhao Kuangyin plays with it, and can be used as a ruler when criticizing the chapter, and when he encounters a military meeting, he can also be used as a whip to point at the map.

Yunnan Kunming Daguanlou in the 100-character long couplet, there is "want to Han Xi Lou ship, Tang standard iron pillar, Song wave jade axe, Yuan across leather bag" said.

One day in the first year of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was bored and played with a slingshot in the back garden.

At this time, an official recklessly broke into the palace to ask for a meeting, and the grandfather thought that there was something big and hurriedly put down the slingshot to receive him.

As a result, the official was rambling for a long time, and none of it was a major military event.

The grandfather was on fire, but the official brother was arrogant: "The minister thinks that no matter how small the political matter, it is more important than playing birds!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin is a military general, and his temper is upright, and he rushed to the lungs with one sentence; picked up the jade axe and smashed it in the official's face.

The official's two front teeth fell to the ground, this guy is really self-contained; Wiping a mouthful of blood, he squatted down silently, picked up his front teeth and put them in his arms.

Seeing that the other party was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, the emperor was even more angry; He pointed his finger at the official's buddy and said, "Do you want to hide your teeth?" Can't you tell me somewhere! ”

The official's brother said another sentence that was neither humble nor arrogant: "The minister can't sue the emperor, but someone will record today's events in the history books!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin made a big red face, knowing that he had lost his identity too much; Hurriedly paid for the money with a smiling face and other people's private interests.

A small incident shows Zhao Kuangyin's sanity and the clarity of the political environment of the Song Dynasty, although Zhao Kuangyin was born in the military, although he will also make low-level mistakes, but he is afraid, or he has self-restraint.

Imagine, if Zhao Kuangyin had a steel plate axe used by Li Kui in his hand, or if he didn't spare it and wanted to cut it, would that official brother still have a life?

Song Taizu grasped the proportions of the fire and looked at the whole leopard, so the courtiers of the Song Dynasty also dared to offend Tianwei with reason and dared to admonish directly.

As one of the most outstanding emperors of ancient China, Song Taizu's greatest achievement was not only to end the division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but to establish a docile and peaceful era and create a set of clear and effective political systems. Just like the jade pillar axe in his hand, it is both valuable and deterrent.

After Song Taizu established the Song Dynasty, he set up an ancestral motto: do not kill the descendants of the Chai family, do not kill scholars and doctors, and those who write and talk about things.

The three precepts show Zhao Kuangyin's benevolence, and his character determined the peace and tolerance of the Great Song Dynasty - a lovely era in which literati and doctors lived happily for 320 years.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin's jade axe is not a good one, after all, it is just a plaything; A jade with fine workmanship is not as sharp and powerful as a real steel plate axe.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light on military force never eradicated the northern border troubles, and the Khitan and Western Xia were leveled with gold, silver and jade silk, but the more ferocious Jurchens could not be leveled.

Zhao Kuangyin is kind-hearted and bright, but it is difficult to beware of his brother Zhao Guangyi; He took the jade pillar axe in his hand and waved it a few times before inserting it back into his waist, turned to the place where Wang Jien was standing and shouted: "Quickly invite the king of Jin into the palace, and the widow wants to drink two cups with him......"

As soon as Jun Yan came out, Wang Jien was relieved, and the heart that was hanging just now was put into his stomach.

After Wang Jien rushed to the emperor's side from the Jin Palace, he saw Taizu pacing in the Long Live Hall angrily; Suddenly, he took out the jade pillar axe and carried it in his hand, knowing that the saint couldn't bear it anymore in his heart.

If the saint can take out the jade pillar axe, it means that he is going to have a big fight with the King of Jin.

The story of Zhao Kuangyin's jade pillar axe not only knocked out the two front teeth of the official's buddies when he hit the birds, but also knocked out the big teeth of the Tuntian staff member Lang Lei Dexiang.

Lei Dexiang is a loyal minister, and when he tried the case, he found that the officials of Dali Temple and the prime minister Zhao Pu were in cahoots to increase or reduce the punishment without authorization.

Lei Dexiang was furious, and without waiting for the eunuch to be introduced, he rushed directly to Zhao Kuangyin and scolded Zhao Pu for being a bastard; On the surface, he is a sanctimonious hypocrite, as a state-level cadre, he takes the lead in not abiding by the law, accepting bribes, and bullying others; Bullying the helpless people, and stealing their land and real estate.

After Lei Dexiang finished his appeal, he asked Zhao Kuangyin to enforce the law impartially and deal with Zhao Pu.
