After Zhao Yuanzuo became a "madman" and was deposed by Song Taizong, Zhao Guangyi went through thousands of threads; plans to let the second son Zhao Yuanyou take over.

In the third year of Yongxi in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Yuanyou was appointed as the Kaifeng Mansion Yin who symbolized the status of the crown prince and changed his name to Zhao Yuanxi.

Who gave birth to Zhao Yuanxi, that is to say, who his biological mother is is is no longer available.

When Zhao Yuanxi first took office, he was very favored, and it can be said that he wanted the wind to be windy and rainy.

Song Taizong was afraid that he, the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, would be too worried and too hard, so he specially sent two capable ministers to assist him.

One of these two capable ministers was Zhang Quhua, and Taizong asked him to serve as the judge of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhang Quhua is a native of Xiangyi, Kaifeng, the champion of Xinyouke in the second year of Song Taizu Jianlong, a young man who is studious and progressive, and his poetry is very good.

The other is that Chen Zai was also born as a Jinshi and served as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Song Taizong chose these two people, the meaning is obvious, that is, let them take Zhao Yuanxi well.

Therefore, before the two took office, Taizong personally summoned Zhang Quhua and Chen Zai, patted them on the shoulder, and said movingly: "The two Aiqing are both upright people in the court, so I can rest assured that I will hand over this important task to you - please assist my son well!" ”

Although Taizong was frugal and simple, he rewarded Zhang and Chen with 1,000 yuan each......

However, Zhao Yuanyou worked in Kaifeng Mansion for more than a year and fell out of favor again.

As for the reason for falling out of favor, the root cause is still in Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu has caused one of the royal relatives to die unjustly and one to become a madman; If you take Zhao Yuanyou, who is about to become the emperor, to be bad, he will be a sinner for the ages.

But Zhao Pu was the founding father of the Song Dynasty and the most powerful minister of Song Taizu; It was he who was too loyal to Song Taizu and also prevented Taizu from setting up Zhao Guangyi as the crown prince, and after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he looked at him horizontally and vertically.

Zhao Guangyi and Song Taizu are brothers after all, and they said a lot of bad things about Zhao Pu in front of Taizu; Taizu was confused for a moment and dismissed Zhao Pu's prime minister.

After Song Taizong succeeded to the throne, Zhao Pu's days can be imagined. However, Zhao Pu is not a simple person, he has his own set of methods to deal with Song Taizong, he threw out the most exciting move for Taizong, hinting to Taizong that he kept the so-called "Golden Kui Alliance" of the alliance. Song Taizong was really moved, and said that as long as he dedicated the alliance book, it would change his current situation.

Soon, Zhao Pu, who had been sitting on the cold bench for more than two years, was re-employed to make Dengzhou known as the prime minister. Although Zhao Pu's dedication to Song Taizong was used, Song Taizong was still wary of Zhao Pu, and he was neither away nor lukewarm. One day, the situation took a turn for the worse.

On a whim, Song Taizong suddenly wanted to use troops to attack the Liao Dynasty in the north; After analyzing the situation, Zhao Pu thought that the time was not ripe and wrote to admonish him.

Song Taizong naturally wouldn't listen to Zhao Pu, and still sent troops to Liao.

As a result of this Northern Expedition, the Song army suffered a setback and suffered heavy losses.

Song Taizong remembered Zhao Pu's advice before using the army, and couldn't help sighing: "Zhao Pu is still loyal to the country regardless of personal gains and losses, and he is a loyal minister!" Suddenly a good impression of Zhao Pu rose.

Zhao Yuanxi chatted with Zhao Pu in Kaifeng Mansion a year earlier, which was very speculative, and the two became friends who forgot about the year. Seeing this opportunity, Zhao Yuanxi put on a sincere recital, praising Zhao Pu and adding fuel to the fire.

At this time, Zhao Yuanxi was worthy of favor, so Song Taizong accepted his opinion and reappointed Zhao Pu as the prime minister.

After Zhao Pu became the prime minister, Zhao Yuanxu and the two did two things together, which made Song Taizong's good impression of Zhao Pu disappear, and he became angry with Zhao Yuanxi, and Zhao Yuanxi's life path also took a turn.

One of the things was triggered by Hu Dan. Hu Dan was the champion of Song Taizong's Taiping rejuvenation of the country for three years, and before the incident, he had already made Taizong's intellectual system. Taizong liked him very much. is this Hu Dan, who always feels that his official promotion is too slow, and it is not commensurate with his talents, so he always wants to make some mistakes.

He contacted a few Jinshi "in the same year". For example, Zhao Changyan, Chen Xiang, Dong Yan, etc. They often get together late at night, racking their brains to find ideas to climb up. Because of this, Chen Xiang was nicknamed "Chen Sangeng" and Dong Yan was nicknamed "Dong Midnight".

Or Hu Dan is smart. Hu Dan said: "The positions are all occupied by them, and if we want to get up, we have to pull them down!" ”

So, in the fourth year of Yongxi, they instigated a small official, Zhai Ma Zhou, to write to the court. At the end of the book, the conversation changed, and Hu Dan and his gang were greatly touted, saying that the court should reuse such virtuous ministers.

As soon as this book was published, there was an uproar under the Song Palace. At this time, due to Zhao Yuanxi's strong recommendation, Zhao Pu has been re-appointed as prime minister.

What a character Zhao Pu is! He could tell at a glance: someone was playing tricks!

He found Zhao Yuanxi below and said, "This threatens the safety of Sheji, you have to clean up these guys!" ”

Zhao Yuanxi sent someone to arrest Zhai Mazhou overnight, and after interrogation, Zhai Mazhou even vomited bile. He said: "Even the book for the imperial court was written by Hu Dan on behalf of him!" ”

The two went to see Song Taizong and demanded severe punishment. Song Taizong was a little hesitant. Zhao Pu gave Zhao Yuanxi a look, and Zhao Yuanxu said: "Father, if you don't brake this crooked wind fiercely, I'm afraid it will spread out, and the court won't be able to clean it up if it wants to!" ”

As a result, Hu Dan and his men were exiled to the wilderness. Here's one piece.

The other thing is a bit of a struggle to tell. There is a warlock whose name is quite rare, called Hou Mo Chen.

Hou Mochen used, surnamed Hou Mochen, Xianbei Hou Mochen, and a native of Chengdu, Yizhou. Lang Zhong, who was originally a medicine seller in Xishu, in addition to selling medicine, he also knew a lot of illusions; That is the set played by magicians in later generations, and this guy is very famous in the Bianjing area.

Song Taizong was hit by an arrow in his leg and stomach during his northern expedition, so that the imperial doctor in the palace could temporarily stop the pain; However, when the weather is cloudy or rains or snows, the pain will recur.

Once when Song Taizong's arrow wound recurred, it happened that Hou Mo Chen was also in Tokyo, so he was introduced to Song Taizong by an acquaintance.

Hou Mochen took advantage of the inspection of Song Taizong's arrow wounds, and used a yellow potion to disinfect the wounds first; stabbed it deeply with a silver needle again, and Hou Mo Chen took advantage of it, picked it up and sucked it up with his mouth, sucking out a large mouthful of black and smelly pus and blood; Then I put some powdered medicine on it.

It's strange to say that Taizong's injury doesn't hurt anymore; After a few times, the pain was healed.

Song Taizong gave Hou Mo Chen the use of a petty official who was straight in the Nine Rank Palace, specifically to serve Taizong.

A few months passed, and Hou Mo Chen was promoted to the regimental training envoy of the five products; At that time, Yang Yanzhao, a famous general with high achievements in the Song army, was only in this position.

Hou Mo Chen took advantage of Taizong's favor and acted recklessly, and sat south to receive the Beijing envoy; The rhino jade belt is played with a red and yellow Luo bag.

After a villain got his will, he got carried away, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty had opinions and comments: "A wandering Fang Yelang is flattering, and he actually mentions it again and again; It's a humiliation for the courtiers! ”。

All the ministers played one after another, asking for Hou Mo Chen to be expelled from the court.

Song Taizong smiled coldly when he saw these pieces and said, "Can you suck the pus and blood on me?" No! And Hou Mo Chen uses his ability, Hou Mo Chen uses loyalty, and you can't catch up with him; What is the intention of driving away such a loyal minister......"
