Chapter 3 The Young Emperor Takes Power
Zhao Kuangyin finally returned to the north, we can't say how good he has been over the years, nor how bad he has been, anyway, it is Ting's rubbing. If there had been a picture left at that time, we would have seen a young man in ragged clothes, with a yellow face and thin muscles, but with piercing eyes. You don't have to laugh at him, because Zhao Kuangyin should be such an image, and only the current Song Taizu can be called Zhao Kuangyin.
A foreign sinologist once said that in fact, every Chinese has a Confucian, a Buddhist and a robber in his heart. When you are content with the status quo, you will become a Confucian, when you dream of greater wealth, you will become a Buddhist, and when you are cornered, you will become a robber.
Don't shy away from anything, China has actually come over like this for 5,000 years, and if the Chinese choose a hero in their minds, I believe that the brothers on Liangshan should be among the best. After all, the brothers on Liangshan are still affectionate and righteous.
Zhao Kuangyin has the potential to become a robber at every moment in this year, and I believe that with his skills, he will definitely become a very good robber in this troubled world without royal law. Why do you say that, you should admit that Zhao Kuangyin is the emperor with the highest force value among the emperors of all dynasties, whether it is to fight on the horse or to lead the army to fight, Zhao Kuangyin must be the strongest one.
But Zhao Kuangyin has always adhered to this belief, the belief in Zhao Kuangyin's heart is like a seed, as long as it goes through the cold winter, when he breaks through the ground, it will be more beautiful, because he has experienced wind, frost, rain and snow.
Everyone's success is not accidental, just like Liu Zhiyuan and Zhu Wen, they will never become Zhao Kuangyin.
This is also why Zhao Kuangyin founded the dynasty culture is merry, rather gentle and not cool, from Zhao Kuangyin's earliest insistence has been doomed.
Zhao Kuangyin was like an arrow, when he didn't know, in fact, he was too late, and earth-shaking changes had taken place in the north.
Liu Zhiyuan died of illness, this quiet man, who had only been the emperor for one year, was succeeded by his eldest son Liu Chengyou. To be honest, this was already the best choice for the Liu family, but it still couldn't stabilize the situation, and someone soon stood up. Li Shouzhen, the envoy of the Protector Army, and Wang Jingchong, the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu, and Zhao Enjuan, who occupied Chang'an, launched a rebellion and proclaimed himself the King of Qin, known as the Three Towns Rebellion in history.
Li Shouzhen was originally a general under Shi Jingtang, Shi Jingtang ascended the throne, visited the provincial envoy, and was promoted to Xuanhui envoy. Out of the era of the emperor's stone and nobleness, worship Tongping Zhangshi, and later served as the supervisor of soldiers and horses. When the Khitan entered the Central Plains, he did not want to resist, but surrendered to the enemy with Du Chongwei, and was appointed as the envoy of the Tianping Army. Liu Zhiyuan was proclaimed emperor, and he raised troops to surrender, but as soon as Liu Zhiyuan died, he launched a rebellion, entangled Zhao Sijuan and Wang Jingchong to raise affairs in Tongguan, and proclaimed himself the king of Qin. Xingjiedu made Zhao Siwan a "man-eating demon king" who made people smell and change, and Liu Xin of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shi Di, the son of Zhao Shihu, Sun Si of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhuge Ang and Zhu Cang of the late Sui Dynasty, and called "the six great cannibal demon kings throughout the ages". Zhao Siwan likes to kill women and children, and uses their meat as military food. He himself is particularly fond of eating human livers, especially those of beautiful women. He often tied beautiful women to wooden posts, disemboweled their livers, and then boiled them. When he enjoyed the "delicious meal" with relish, he would enjoy the tragic condition of the beautiful woman who was still tied to the wooden pillar and had her liver removed.
The newly enthroned young emperor immediately accepted the test, but in the face of such a major test, the young emperor Liu Chengyou sat on the Jinluan Hall but yawned for a long time, which was absolutely true, and he didn't dare to make it up.
The civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace were also confused, and even Mr. Feng Dao, an old fritter in the officialdom, was at a loss. In the end, they came to three conclusions, the first of which was that His Majesty was already a master of the war, and he was dismissive of the rebellious fools, and it would be great if that were the case, which meant that they did not have to tremble every day. Second, in fact, it can also be seen that Your Majesty is a Ming Jun who is lightweight, if this is the case, it would be even better, Your Majesty does not have to have an idea to deal with the rebellion, such a quality is enough. Third, it's a little bad, a young majesty, every day is angry, this is not a faint monarch who is addicted to the harem, what is it. Could it be that the young son of heaven loves romance and has been excessively romantic.
Liu Chengyou sat on the Jinluan Palace, and he could only silently accept the discussion below, and he couldn't explain it. He couldn't sleep all night every night, so how could he shock his ministers the next day.
Before Liu Zhiyuan died, he left him five of the most valuable legacies: Yang Wei, Shi Hongzhao, Wang Zhang, Su Fengji and Guo Wei. These people are literate, martial, or money-sensitive, and these people are scheming and battle-hardened. Liu Zhiyuan believes that as long as these people assist his son, the country of the Later Han Dynasty will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai. But he also made the mistake that all parents in the world make, thinking about everything for their children, but not knowing what their son really needs.
Liu Chengyou believes that as long as these five old guys are alive, he will want to gain power. It was these five old guys who put him in the air. Military, political, financial, isn't there just such a thing in a country, he can't touch anything, and he has never really tasted what it is like to be an emperor for a day.
Liu Chengyou is thinking now, daddy, daddy, why do you love me so much. Now, here's the opportunity, someone has rebelled. Liu Chengyou is not stupid, he immediately realized that this is an opportunity, first of all, he must put down the rebellion, who will go to the platoon, the starting candidate, Guo Wei. Guo Wei was originally in charge of the privy envoy, and he was the leader of the expedition, and besides, this person has been in battle for a long time and has a great reputation, so it is very suitable to send him.
However, Liu Chengyou just didn't send him. Haha, this Liu Chengyou is also a bit interesting, who to send, Liu Chengyou thinks so, as long as I don't send Guo Wei, even if it is a nobody, as long as I win the battle, I can divide Guo Wei's military power, and then step by step I can cultivate my own lineage, so as to take back power.
The new emperor ordered in March of the second year, Guo Wei went home to fish, lined up Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi, Chang Si and sent troops, Daqin Wang Shi in order to win, but from March to July, from the bright spring to the sultry summer, everyone took off their pants to fight, but Li Shouzhen and his companions were still alive and kicking, showing the other festival envoys that they were still alive and well. The situation is doubly turbulent, Liu Chengyou's prestige is plummeting, and Liu Chengyou has no choice but to go to Guo Wei like Liu Chan, the queen of the Three Kingdoms, who visited Zhuge Liang.
Whether Guo Weiken is willing to send troops, and how Zhao Kuangyin met Guo Wei, we will talk about it next time.
