This time Zhao Guangyi's emergency summoning is not a big deal, but this time the incident also came suddenly, he was also for safety reasons, but he himself is also a little too dependent on Wenchen, in history, Wenchen is no worse than the military generals Sima Yi of the Three Kingdoms, although it has gone away, but every monarch in the Great Song Dynasty is the existence of the control of the military generals, in history is the famous Chen Qiao Mutiny, that is, his Zhao Guangyi's eldest brother Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin can really embody. The danger of a civil servant is not as good as a military general, and the fall of the Tang Dynasty was because of the military generals, so the Song Dynasty took such serious precautions against military generals. The so-called teacher of the past does not forget the future, which also has to start from the Later Zhou period, that is, Emperor Zhou Shizong.

After the sixth year of Zhou Xiande (959 AD), Shizong Chai Rong (also known as Guo Rong) personally commanded the army of the northern expedition to the Khitan, wanting to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but he was seriously ill, and died of illness soon after returning to the capital, and his son Chai Zongxun succeeded him as the emperor, which was for Emperor Gong, only 7 years old. Sejong's great cause of unifying the north has not been completed, "the lord and the country are suspicious", the civil and military ministers are worried, and the court and the outside are panicked. In front of the palace in charge of the forbidden army, Zhao Kuangyin was checked, so he became a pivotal figure in the court.

Zhao Kuangyin is like Zhao Kuangyin (927-976 AD), a native of Zhuojun (now Zhuozhou, Hebei). His father, Zhao Hongyin, was born in the army, and served as a senior general of the forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty, the Later Han Dynasty, and the Later Four Dynasties, and lived in Luoyang (now Henan), and Zhao Kuangyin was born in Luoyang Jiama Camp. Influenced by his family and the martial arts of the society at the time, he was fond of martial arts since he was a child. When he was young, he once wrote the poem "Song of the Sun" to express his ambition: "If you want to come out of the light and spicy tart, thousands of mountains are like fire." He walked to the sky in a moment, and drove away the remnant stars and the moon. He expressed his lofty ambitions and ambitions. In the Later Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was recruited into the army and defected to the privy envoy Guo Wei. In the fourth year of Qianyou's reign (951), Guo Wei launched a mutiny in Lanzhou (now Puyang, Henan), and then led his headquarters to break into Kaifeng (now Henan), and Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty was killed by the rebels, and Guo Wei replaced the Later Han and established the Later Zhou. In this coup d'état, Zhao Kuangyin actively participated in and supported Guo Wei as the emperor (for Zhou Taizu), and his achievements were outstanding. After the deed was completed, he was awarded the head of the eastern and western classes and was in charge of the forbidden army. Guo Wei's adopted son Chai Rong (originally the nephew of the Zhou Taizu Empress Chai) served as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion (now Kaifeng, Henan), and then renamed Zhao Kuangyin as the envoy of the Kaifeng Prefecture. Guo Wei died of illness, Chai Rong succeeded to the throne, and soon promoted Zhao Kuangyin to the German Army's envoy and became a senior general of the forbidden army. In the sixth year of Xiande, when Chai Rong was critically ill, in order to prevent the occurrence of a coup d'état caused by the struggle for power and profit within the imperial family, an edict was issued to remove Guo Wei's son-in-law and Zhang Yongde from his military post in front of the palace, and replaced him with Zhao Kuangyin, so that he could grasp the power of the forbidden army to assist Chai Zongxun.

On the New Year's Day of the first month of the seventh year of Xiande, Zhao Kuangyin, in the name of Zhenzhou (now Zhengding, Hebei) and Dingzhou (now Hebei), falsely claimed that the Khitan colluded with the Northern Han Dynasty and went south to invade the border of the Later Zhou Dynasty, so he asked the imperial court to quickly send troops to block and reinforce. Prime Minister Fan Zhen, Wang Pu and others did not distinguish between truth and falsehood, and immediately ordered Zhao Kuangyin to lead the army north. When Zhao Kuangyin led the troops out of the city, there were rumors everywhere in Kaifeng City that "the strategy was checked for the Son of Heaven". For a time, "the people were terrified, and they fought for a plan to escape." Then the Zhou court knew nothing about it. In the early morning of the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin led the army to leave the capital, and at dusk, the garrison was stationed at Chenqiaoyi (located in Chenqiao Town, southeast of Fengqiu, Henan) 40 miles northeast of Kaifeng City. He handed over all the affairs of the army to his brother Zhao Guangyi and his confidant and adviser Zhao Pu to deal with it on his behalf, and he himself drank in the account, completely ignoring the affairs of the army, until he was drunk and lying on the couch.

Not long after, in the military camp, there were the main generals of the forbidden army, such as Li Chuyun, Li Han, Chao, Ma Renji, and Wang Yansheng, the commander of the scattered personnel, and discussed with Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Pu and others to support Zhao Kuangyin as the emperor. Zhao Pu said to everyone: "Xingwang Yi's surname, although Yun Tian's destiny is really related to the hearts of the people. The former army had crossed the river yesterday, and the festival made all the bases, if the capital is in chaos, not only the foreign invaders will get deeper, but the Quartet will be reincarnated. If the soldiers can be strict, do not order the robbery, and the hearts of the people in the capital will not waver, then the Quartet will naturally be peaceful, and the generals can also maintain their wealth and nobility for a long time. Everyone agreed. In the early morning of the next day, before Zhao Kuangyin got up, the generals flocked to his tent, and Zhao Guangyi entered the tent to invite his brother. Zhao Kuangyin came out of the tent, and everyone drew their swords one after another, lined up in the courtyard, and said in unison: "All the armies have no owner, and I wish to be the Captain of Ce (when Zhao Kuangyin still had the title of Captain of the Inspection School) as the Son of Heaven." Without waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to answer, everyone took out the yellow robe that had been prepared in advance for the emperor to wear when he ascended the throne and draped it on his body. Zhao Kuangyin was helpless, so he said to the generals: "You are greedy for wealth and wealth, and you have made me the Son of Heaven, and you can follow my life; Otherwise, I can't do it. Everyone said in unison: "Listen only to orders." Zhao Kuangyin also said: "The Queen Mother (referring to the Queen Mother) and the Lord (referring to Emperor Zhou Gong), I am all in the north, and you must not be surprised; The ministers are all side by side, and they must not be abused; Imperial court treasury, Shishu house. No plunder. There is a heavy reward for using the order, and if you violate it, you will be killed. The generals bowed to the ground and said they obeyed the holy command.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent people to Kaifeng, and first contacted Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi, and others, the senior generals of the forbidden army guarding the capital. After that, he returned to Kaifeng from Chen Qiaoyi. Entering the city, the soldiers obeyed Zhao Kuangyin's order, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. The Hou Zhou generals who defended the city did not dare to act rashly, only Han Tong, the deputy commander of the guards, heard the news and galloped out of the inner court of the palace on horseback, wanting to gather his troops to resist stubbornly. When he walked to the street, he was noticed by Wang Yansheng; Then he followed him and chased him to his home and killed all his family. Zhao Kuangyin entered the city, ascended the Mingde Gate, and ordered the soldiers to return to their military camps and stations, and they also returned to their original official offices.

After a short time, the generals gathered around Fan Zhen and other important officials of the Later Zhou court to come to Zhao Kuangyin's official office. When Zhao Kuangyin saw them, he immediately cried bitterly and whimpered: "Violating heaven and earth, this is the end of it!" Before Fan Zhen and the others could answer, Luo Yanhuan of the military academy pressed the sword in his hand and said sharply: "My generation has no master, and today I must have the Son of Heaven!" Fan Zhen and the others looked at each other, and there was nothing they could do, so they had to bend down and retreat to the bottom of the steps and line up to worship. Immediately, Zhao Kuangyin convened hundreds of civil and military officials in the official office hall to determine the order of entry into the DPRK according to the merits of each person. Hanlin Chengzhi Tao Qi took out the pre-written Zen position system book from his sleeve and read it out in public, saying that Chai Zongxun abdicated and Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor. Subsequently, the Xuanhui envoy guided Zhao Kuangyin to go down to the hall, came to the courtyard, and bowed to the north. He also led him out of the official office into the palace, entered the Chongyuan Palace, changed his court clothes, wore a crown, and officially ascended the throne as the emperor, which was for Song Taizu. In addition, Chai Zongxun and Empress Fu and others were moved to the West Palace, and their emperor title was changed to King Zheng, and Empress Fu was the Empress Dowager of Zhou. This is the end of the history of the Later Week.

In the first month of the following year, Zhao Kuangyin ordered an amnesty to the world, changed the Yuan Jianlong, and still set the capital in Kaifeng. Because he had served as an envoy to the German army in Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan), he took "Song" as the country name, known as the Northern Song Dynasty in history. Shi Shouxin was the envoy of the German army, the deputy commander of the Ma Bu Army of the guards, and Wang Xianqi was the commander of the Taining Army and the front of the palace, and the rest of the generals of the forbidden army were also assigned official positions, and concurrently led the envoys. All the important bureaucratic institutions of the imperial court reappointed their governors, thus establishing the ruling order of the Song dynasty. At the same time, he also sent envoys to various counties, counties, and feudal towns to inform them of the change of dynasty, hoping that they would change their course and return to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiaoyi Mutiny, and the yellow robe was added, which soon provoked the revolt of some of the leaders of the feudal towns in the former Later Zhou, mainly Li Yun, who occupied Shangdang (now Shanxi), and Li Chongjin, who occupied Huainan.

Later, Zhou Zhaoyijun made Li Yun run the party for 8 years. In his territory, he collected taxes and gathered outlaws. has a certain strength, so much so that the Later Zhou court also felt that Li Yun was "stubborn and difficult to control". Knowing that Zhao Kuangyin was called the emperor of Zhou, he actively prepared to raise troops against the Song Dynasty. In April of the first year of Song Jianlong (960 AD), Li Yun colluded with the Northern Han Dynasty and launched a rebellion. When the news reached the palace, Zhao Kuangyin decisively decided to fight a quick battle to "serve the heart of the world" and consolidate the rule of the Song Dynasty that had just been established. To this end, on the one hand, he ordered Shi Shouxin to lead the troops to the party to fight against the rebels, and on the other hand, he ordered the Zhaohua Army to make Murong Yanzhao and the Zhangde Army to make Wang Quanbin lead the army out of the East Road, so as to respond to Shi Shouxin. Li Yun thought that most of the soldiers of the Song army were old friends with him, and they would definitely miss the old feelings and defect to the battle, so he took it lightly and did not take serious defense. As soon as the Song army and the rebels clashed, they launched a fierce attack, and there was no old friendship at all. The first battle was fought in Changping (northwest of present-day Gaoping, Shanxi) and the rebels were defeated. Subsequently, the Song army advanced in several directions, pressing forward step by step. Zhao Kuangyin personally went to the front line to command all walks of life to encircle and annihilate the rebels. Shi Shouxin and the Jiangning Army made Gao Huaide in Zezhou (in the territory of present-day Jincheng, Shanxi), and then broke the main force of Li Yun's army, captured the rebel general Fan Shoutu, and killed thousands of Northern Han soldiers. Li Yun led the remnants to flee into the city of Zezhou. The Song army besieged the city, besieged the city for dozens of days, and finally broke the city. Li Yun knew that the general trend was gone, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the fire. His son Li Shoujie offered the party to surrender to the Song Dynasty, Li Yun's anti-Song rebellion was put down, and the situation in the north was brought under control.

Later, Zhou Huainan made Li Chongjin the nephew of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, and he was powerful. During the reign of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, he once shared the military power inside and outside the court with Zhao Kuangyin. Later, he was ordered to go out of the town of Huainan and sit in Yangzhou (now Jiangsu). After the Chenqiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered Han Lingkun to take over the post of Marquis Yu, the capital of his guard and pro-army Mabu Army, and ordered him to move to Qingzhou (now Yidu, Shandong). Li Chongjin knew very well that Zhao Kuangyin's move was aimed at reducing his power, so he refused to obey his orders, and instead sent his confidant Zhai Shou to the north, preparing to form an alliance with Li Yun and attack the newly established Song Dynasty in the north and south. However, instead of uniting with Li Yun, Zhai Shou went to Kaifeng to state the matter to Zhao Kuangyin. After returning to Yangzhou, he persuaded Li Chongjin to "raise his authority and hold on to it, and not to be light", so that Li Chongjin did not dare to rashly raise troops against the Song Dynasty. After Li Yun's army was defeated and killed, Li Chongjin felt that a catastrophe was coming, and he decided to make a desperate gamble. In September, he launched a rebellion in Yangzhou and sent people into the Southern Tang Dynasty to ask for help. Unexpectedly, Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was afraid of being burned and refused to send troops to help, and Li Chongjin fell into the embarrassing situation of "lack of internal reserves and no rescue outside". Zhao Kuangyin sent Shi Shouxin to the south to conquer. In October, he led his troops to recruit in person. The Song army marched south along the Bianhe River and reached the north bank of the Huai River. Li Chongjin was unwilling to be restrained and strictly ordered his soldiers to resist to the death, in a vain attempt to prevent the Song army from crossing the river and heading south. Shi Shouxin commanded the Song army to force the Huai River and launched a fierce attack, and the rebels were defeated and fled. The Song army quickly surrounded Yangzhou. In November, the city of Yangzhou was destroyed, and Li Chongjin and his family died by self-immolation. The Song army entered the city and killed all the rebels, and the Huainan region was pacified.

Before and after Li Yun and Li Chongjin were pacified, although the local feudal authorities of the former Later Zhou were dissatisfied with Zhao Kuangyin's replacement of the Later Zhou with a mutiny, they were afraid of the military might of the Song Dynasty and felt powerless to compete with them, so they had to obey the orders and submit to their orders. Zhao Kuangyin adopted a strategy of both grace and power, on the one hand, he still nominally kept his feudal towns and allowed them to stay in their original places, but at the same time sent supervisors into his feudal towns to exercise their powers. Guo Chong often mourned the fall of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but when Chen Sihai arrived, he had no choice but to endure his grief and express his support for the Song court. Yuan Yan, the original Zhou Baoyi Army, learned that Zhao Kuangyin was acting as a Zhou Hou, and repaired ordnance day and night, trained soldiers, and wanted to fight against the Song court. However, when the Song court sent Pan Mei to supervise the army and ordered him to enter the court, Yuan Yan also had to bow his head and ride to the capital alone. Zhou Taizu Guo Weifei Yang's younger brother, the original Zhou Jianxiong military festival envoy Yang Tingzhang had a close relationship with Li Yun, and had contacts from time to time. At this point, the Song Dynasty regime established by Zhao Kuangyin through the Chenqiao Mutiny was greatly consolidated, and the situation in the Central Plains was stabilized. This is the main reason why the Song Dynasty coveted military generals so much. Because there is a precedent, it is the military generals of the Song Dynasty that are really difficult.
