Chapter 108: Usurpation (4)
Zhao Pu's position was pivotal in the early Song Dynasty, and he had a clay pot in the political hall; Wherever he was handed a piece of music, as long as he didn't like it, he threw it into the pot, and waited until the pot was full of fire; Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin knew about this matter, but he did not interfere.
During Zhao Pu's reign, he was impeached twice by officials; Zhao Kuangyin exiled the first batch of people to the holy land of Salmon Island for them to live in permanently.
The second time was the general judgment of Lei Dexiang of Dali Temple in front of Zhao Kuangyin to sue Zhao Pu for lawlessness and demand that Zhao Pu be dismissed.
The result was miserable, Zhao Kuangyin knocked out two front teeth of Lei Dexiang with an axe.
In this way, Zhao Kuangyin was still angry, and asked to hand it over to Zhao Pu to cut it directly.
When Lei Dexiang was dragged away, Zhao Kuangyin's roar echoed in the hall: "Ding Zhong still has ears, don't you hear Zhao Puwu's society?" β
Zhao Pu is amazing! Zhao Pu is really powerful! The top of independent officialdom, even the emperor is not a problem!
But Lu Duoxun saw the contradiction between Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin.
Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Jin King Zhao Guangyi are brothers, Zhao Guangyi was sick once, and Taizu knew that he had been waiting by his side; It wasn't until Zhao Guangyi woke up that Grandpa Tai left and entered the palace.
However, Lu Duosun decided to smash Zhao Pu and support Zhao Guangyi with practical actions; If it's successful, it's all about relationships and credit all at once.
It is not so much that Lu Duosun is fighting with Zhao Pu, but that Zhao Pu is dueling with Zhao Guangyi; It's just that those who know about their duel dare not say it, and those who don't know it dare not guess.
Lu Duoxun used the impression points accumulated in front of Zhao Kuangyin, and said that Zhao Pu was not good today, and that Zhao Pu was not right tomorrow.
Lu Duoxun's remarks are fused with the previous Lei Dexiang's report of Zhao Pu's bad deeds, plus Lei Dexiang's son Lei Youlin beat the drum to complain; Zhao Kuangyin couldn't bear it anymore and drove Zhao Pu out of the capital.
Lu Duoxun, as the main force of Zhao Guangyi against Zhao Pu, became the winner without doubt after Zhao Pu's fiasco.
As a result, Lu Duosun rose to prominence and sat in the third position of the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty; Because he was a close confidant of Zhao Guangyi, even the first prime minister at the time, Xue Juzheng, and the second prime minister, Shen Lun, had to give him three points.
Lu Duoxun was not merciful on the way to fight, and blackened Zhao Pu to the end.
Lu Duoxun is talented and smart, and he should know that if he defeats Zhao Pu, he will continue to beat the water dogs; Prevent Zhao Pu from counterattacking.
Therefore, Zhao Pu must be hacked to the end until Zhao Pu is completely killed; As long as this is the case, he can sleep soundly.
Zhao Pu has a brother-in-law named Hou Renbao, who was originally made a beautiful difference because of Zhao Pu's words - Luoyang Prefect.
Isn't this Zhao Pu down! So, Hou Renbao was sent from Luoyang to Yongzhou; That's beyond the Qinling Mountains! It's equal to distribution!
For nine consecutive years, Hou Renbao did not even have a leave to visit his relatives, and he was not allowed to resign.
There was really no way, so he came up with an idea - to write a letter to Zhao Guangyi, saying that Jiaozhi was in chaos and wanted to state the attack plan in person.
Zhao Guangyi was very happy and played on the spot. Seeing that Hou Renbao could enter Beijing, Lu Duoxun was a thief and gave Zhao Guangyi an idea: Your Majesty, it is better to directly let Hou Renbao lead his troops to the expedition.
As a result, Hou Renbao, the son-in-law, was forced to go on the expedition and was cut off at the Jiaozhi people's deception conference; Zhao Pu's distressed brother-in-law is gone!
Zhao Pu's eldest son, Zhao Chengzong, turned out to be an official in Tanzhou, like Hou Renbao.
Not long after Hou Renbao's death, he and Zhao Guangyi's sister Princess Yanguo married Gao Huaide's daughter of Guide Jiedu, this is a real royal relative!
After getting married in this way, at least you can stay in the capital and the family will be reunited.
However, less than a month after the marriage, Lu Duoxun asked Zhao Chengzong to leave Beijing and return to office......
Zhao Pu couldn't hold back any longer, and decided to fight back: You Lu Duosun persecuted my brother-in-law, and now you are here to harm my son, it's really unbearable! From now on, either you die or I live.
So Zhao Pu threw out the "Golden Kui Book League", and Zhao Pu's spring came
also deserved Lu Duoxun's bad luck, Zhao Guangyi's personal expedition to attack Youzhou failed; Originally, this was nothing, after all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers.
But the problem is that in this battle, Zhao Guangyi fled alone on July 7 and did not know where to go; During this period, the soldiers of the Song army thought that he had died in battle, so they supported Zhao Kuangyin's son Zhao Dezhao to take the throne in the army.
After Zhao Guangyi fled back to the capital, Zhao Dezhao asked for rewards for the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.
Zhao Guangyi jumped like thunder and roared: "It's not too late to reward you after you become the emperor!" β
In the face of Zhao Guangyi's harshness, Zhao Dezhao silently retreated and committed suicide when he returned to the mansion.
Zhao Guangyi's nephew's accession to the throne was originally a heart disease, but Zhao Kuangyin's son was frightened to death by him; This is really big for Zhao Guangyi.
At this time, Zhao Pu wrote a secret recital to Zhao Guangyi overnight, and the central topic was to tell him: Please go to the inner courtyard of the palace to look carefully, there is an important small box containing your mother, your eldest brother, and the effective will signed by Zhao Pu, which can prove that your accession to the throne is reasonable and legitimate-that is, the "Golden Kui Book Alliance".
Zhao Pu is really spicy! The timing was just right, although it came a little late, but Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed; On the same day, Zhao Pu was crowned as Situ and Shizhong, replacing Xue Juzheng, who had died, as the first and auxiliary prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty again.
Zhao Pu's spring came, and Lu Duoxun's winter came immediately; The battle arena has changed dramatically in an instant.
The return of the prime minister back then was not at all for the greed for power, he was for revenge, for survival, and for Lu Duoxun to die!
Lu Duosun clearly understood that Zhao Pu would definitely take revenge; But the question is, where will the retaliation come?
This has to talk about Zhao Tingmei, the number two person in the ranking of the Great Song Dynasty has a very big curiosity; It can be said that the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years produced him.
Zhao Tingmei did not go to meet with the prime ministers every morning, but went to the door of the academy to ask who was going to be promoted today? Who wants to be dismissed?
This is a state secret, and it is like this every day, which is to dismantle his second brother's platform.
In fact, with Zhao Tingmei's ability, he can't do anything, but he can know half a quarter of an hour earlier than everyone; From here, it can also be seen how ignorant Zhao Tingmei is.
Until one day, someone reported that Zhao Tingmei was going to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to seize the throne; Zhao Tingmei was transferred from Kaifeng to Luoyang, only to know that his brother Zhao Guangyi was not his brother Zhao Kuangyin, and he had always regarded him as a marionette; Let him be like him "Golden Kui Book League"? That's!
Zhao Tingmei left Beijing on April 1, and on April 7, Zhao Pu said to the emperor regretfully: Your third prime minister, Lu Duoxun, has something to do with Zhao Tingmei, and the two have long reached a consensus that they hope that you will die early.
Zhao Pu returned to his body in the way of others, and Zhao Guangyi obeyed Zhao Pu at the moment; Lu Duoxun was arrested and imprisoned for the case involving Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin, who formed a party for personal gain, and was sentenced to death at the first time, and beheaded the nine clans.
After depriving him of his official position and three generations of gifts, the family was assigned to Yazhou, and he was pardoned or not, and died in the second year of Song Yongxi in his residence in Shuinan Village, Yazhou, at the age of 52. Alone.
