Sima Guang's "Records of Lianshui" recorded: "Ji'en used the ambition of the ancestor to pass on the throne of the king of Jin, but he did not say Defang, but went to Kaifeng Mansion to summon the king of Jin with his relatives. ”

Old Master Sima is defending Wang Jien, I don't know that the old antique doesn't know the trick of the King of Jin usurping the throne; Or even know but want to reverse black and white.

Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" is a historical reader, if he really wants to defend Zhao Guangyi, Wang Jien, and Cheng Dexuan with a clear and confused mentality, then it really fulfills the sentence "What is history"; Several of the facts he recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian are true and questionable.

The Confucian scholars of the feudal dynasty, who had the right to speak and write, left their views as history to future generations to deceive the world and steal their reputation, that is, a matter of conduct!

Let's not talk about "Zizhi Tongjian", just listen to how "The Legend of Lianshui" describes Wang Jien.

Sima Guang explained Wang Jien's failure to carry out the edict of the Empress Dowager of Song and summoning Zhao Guangyi into the palace as having three major benefits to the government:

First, Zhao Kuangyin has long intended to let Zhao Guangyi inherit the throne. Wang Jien is Zhao Kuangyin's personal eunuch, who was cultivated and promoted by Zhao Kuangyin; Wang Jien is well-behaved and clever, good at observing words and feelings, and figuring out his intentions, knowing that Zhao Kuangyin wants Zhao Guangyi to succeed him.

Zhao Kuangyin did not set up a prince during his lifetime, so he left hope for Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin; Zhao Kuangyin named Zhao Guangyi as the king of Jin, but did not crown his own son as the king, which is to make Zhao Guangyi's status higher than that of the princes, and obviously wants Zhao Guangyi to succeed him.

Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Guangyi to fight in the south and the north, make repeated military exploits, and accumulate capital; He also served as the Kaifeng Mansion Yin to prosper Tokyo's commercial market, which obviously meant cultivation and experience; Zhao Guangyi's talents, connections, and resume are incomparable to the princes.

Second, in order to avoid endless fighting in the imperial court. If Defang is allowed to succeed to the throne, Defang is less than 18 years old, he is only shallow in learning, he has not made an inch of merit, and his virtue is not worthy, Zhao Guangyi will definitely not accept it, which will inevitably cause a protracted struggle between uncles and nephews, and may even lead to long-term wars, rebellions and other uncontrollable consequences.

Third, in order to avoid the harem interfering in the government. When Zhao Kuangyin died, Empress Song was not yet 24 years old, and Defang was not yet 18 years old. Empress Song was deeply favored and trusted by Zhao Kuangyin, but Empress Song did not have children, and she raised Defang as her own son; It is hoped that Defang will succeed himself so that he can listen to the government.

Wang Jien had insight into Queen Song's intentions, in order to avoid the evil consequences of the harem's interference; decisively extinguished the flame of the harem to interfere in politics, so Wang Jien rewrote the history of the Song Dynasty; It's a big hero.

Sima Guang's "Records of Lianshui" is Ye Feiye, and the facts can only be verified.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, died on the 20th day of October in the winter of the ninth year of Kaibao (976 AD), and on the 21st, Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, ascended the throne, called the Empress of Song as the Empress of Kaibao, and let her move to the West Palace.

Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne in the Funing Palace, that is, the Long Live Palace, known as Taizong in history, and changed the year name to Taiping Xingguo.

The ministers worshipped the new emperor in the Long Live Palace, and the body of the first emperor was parked on the main hall, and Taizong was crying and grieving while receiving the congratulations.

On the third day of his reign, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty granted amnesty to the world and ordered the border soldiers to stop invading the outside world; If the ministers want to make suggestions, they can be on the table or interviewed.

Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty announced that he would follow the various systems formulated by the emperor and reward hundreds of civil and military officials.

Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty named Zhao Tingmei, the emperor's younger brother Yongxing Jiedu envoy and servant, as the king of Qi, and served as the Yin and Zhongshu order of Kaifeng Mansion; caused a situation in which he was succeeded to the throne by Zhao Tingmei a hundred years later.

At the same time, Song Taizong named Zhao Dezhao, the son of Taizu, as the king of martial arts, and Zhao Defang as Xingyuan Yin.

He ordered that the sons of Taizu and the sons of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, should be called princes, and their daughters should be called princesses.

In the first year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, that is, two months after Song Taizong ascended the throne, Zhao Guangyi ordered an increase in the number of places for the imperial examination.

During the time of Song Taizu, the number of students admitted to each imperial examination did not exceed 100, and Song Taizong increased the number of Jinshi to 109, and 207 people in all subjects, all of which were given to Jinshi and the first; In addition, 184 people who were recommended by the state and county to take the examination in the capital more than 15 times but did not pass were all given to Jinshi backgrounds, and a total of 500 people were admitted.

500 people were awarded preferential officials, and everyone was happy, praising Song Taizong as Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty; Song Taizong's imperial prestige and worth were twice as high as that of his grandfather, covering up his bad deeds of seizing the throne and usurping the throne.

After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he also appointed his henchmen to visit officials in various places to report directly and secretly to him, and those officials who did not abide by the law were immediately executed; No confession asked.

This measure was even more effective, and it quickly stabilized the situation in the whole country.

After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, Lu Duoxun was appointed as the prime minister, and Xue Juzheng and Shen Lun of the Taizu Dynasty were retained in his class.

In terms of rank and seniority, Ludoson can only be ranked third; But Lu Duoxun is full of arrogant genes, and he always wants to suppress Xue Juzheng and Shen Lun.

Therefore, he slandered Zhao Pu in front of Song Taizong, saying that Zhao Pu persuaded Song Taizu to establish a son as an heir but could not establish a younger brother as an heir; Song Taizong originally had a lot of opinions about Zhao Pu, but Lu Duoxun was so slanderous; asked Zhao Pu to be an idle official who drove with the court.

However, Zhao Pu is not an ordinary person but a three-way strategist, Zhao Kuangyin, Chen Qiao's mutiny, and the yellow robe were the first heroes; After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, almost all the rules and regulations came from him.

There is another point that is particularly good, that is, Zhao Pu knows that Zhao Guangyi's ascension to the throne is not justified but usurped; But he didn't speak out; It was the critical moment that he planned to use this killer move.

Zhao Guangyi is narrow-minded and lacks energy, Zhao Pu has long known it; That's why he was sent a beautiful hand-stove to explore the way.

After Lu Duoxun was reused by Zhao Guangyi, he slandered Zhao Pu, and Zhao Pu had already been mentally prepared; So he threw out the "Golden Book League" and showed his hole cards, warning Zhao Guangyi not to do things too desperately.

The Jinkui Book Alliance was originally a fictitious thing, but after Zhao Pu's operation; Zhao Guangyi's accession to the throne was legitimized.

Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to bow his head to Zhao Pu, half of the strategists who ruled the world in the Analects were really not to be underestimated.

Lu Duoxun fought with Zhao Pu, but he could only hit the stone with an egg and hit his head on the south wall to break the blood.

Lu Duoxun was a Jinshi of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and when the Northern Song Dynasty was established, he was only a member of the ancestral hall, and Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, came back from the Northern Han Dynasty to appoint him as a scholar of Hanlin; After the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, he served as a waiter in the Ministry of Officials.

However, after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, Lu Duosun was actually the first prime minister.

It stands to reason that Lu Duosun and Zhao Pu are not at the same level at all, Lu Duosun is a posterior boy in Zhao Pu's eyes; And there are no personal grudges between him and Zhao Pu, and there are no political discords.

Zhao Pu has been the chief prime minister for ten years, and Lu Duosun is still only a bachelor of Hanlin; It can be said that Lu Duoxun was not worthy of a duel with Zhao Pu at all, but he just found Zhao Pu to spoof, and he really made Zhao Pu disgraced; It's a pity that he didn't have the last laugh, and finally lost his life.

Why was a good hand played by Ludoson? That is, he was in a hurry to suppress Xue Juzheng and Shen Lun, and did not hesitate to take risks to fight against Zhao Pu.

Lu Dorson was just an ordinary child of the common people who passed the examination to become an official, and he had to have merit, seniority, and connections if he wanted to get ahead quickly in politics.

Unfortunately, Ludosun did not have any of them; What to do? History books say that he "has a strategy and is full of wonders".

Qizhong - that is, he can see opportunities that others can't see, and do things that others dare not do.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin likes to read, every time he takes a book from the Book History Museum; Lu Duosun had to buy the librarian to ask him to understand, but he also stayed up all night reading the same book with his great-grandfather; In case the grandfather asks questions.

Such a stupid method really came in handy, and when the great grandfather encountered something unknown during his studies, he accidentally asked Lu Duoxun; Lu Duosun actually answered fluently.

Grandpa Taizu thought that Lu Duosun was very learned; Lu Duoxun thus earned enough impression points in front of his great-grandfather.

The other side of Lu Duo Sunqi is to do what others dare not do - find Zhao Pu to fight in the ring.

During the Five Dynasties period before the Northern Song Dynasty and the early Northern Song Dynasty, the power of the imperial court was in the Privy Council; The prime minister is nothing more than an ornament.

Later, Zhao Kuangyin did not allow the martial arts to be in power, and Zhao Pu became the prime minister again; Due to Zhao Pu's influence, the real power was forcibly moved to the side of the prime minister......
