Great Song

Zhao Kuangyin raised troops to attack the Northern Han Dynasty several times, but they were repeatedly unsuccessful because the Liao State sent troops to support

This time, I got a report from Bian Bei and learned that the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao State were at odds, thinking that there was an opportunity. In the starry night, he held a meeting with several relatives in the court, who knew that several ministers who took care of their lives, led by Zhao Pu, tried their best to arrange the levy and insisted on adopting the strategy of self-cultivation and recuperation

Just because the Song Dynasty has been fighting for many years, it has seriously affected the livelihood of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are many human factors, as early as the first Northern Expedition, there were many people who were alarmist, and as a result, as expected, two Northern Expeditions, two fruitless

But Zhao Kuangyin, who is more than half a hundred years old, just can't listen to the strict prohibition in his head, and wants the Northern Expedition, which is the third time that Zhao Kuangyin wants to recover the world after the defeat of the two Northern Expeditions

In 976 AD, in October of the ninth year of Kaibao, in the court, because of the two opinions of the Northern Expedition and recuperation, Zhao Kuangyin turned his face with the court officials for the first time and was furious

On October 19, when the day was approaching, in the court, all the officials knelt down to Zhao Kuangyin and saluted, shouting three times long live

Zhao Kuangyin said, Zhong Aiqing is flat

The officials said, Long live Xie

Zhao Kuangyin coughed and said, Yesterday, there was a report from outside the border that the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty were at odds with each other because of land matters. At this court meeting, I would like to discuss with the Zhongqing family whether it is possible to levy the Northern Han Dynasty for the third time. On military issues, can we do it?

All the officials looked at each other, and the leaders of the last few who were discussing yesterday night all stood with their hands in their hands, silent

Some officials saw that Zhao Kuangyin said that he wanted to fight the Northern Han Dynasty again, because of the first two educations, the Northern Han Dynasty was so easy to fight? One person went out of class and knelt down to give a salute, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not"

Zhao Kuangyin looked down, it was the imperial court Taichang Siqing, Zhai Tao, Zhai Quanmou, when he saw that this person changed his face and color, he knew that he would definitely not follow his own wishes, but he still said patiently, "Speak"

Zhai Quan said, "The minister was in the market recently, and I happened to hear a children's song on the street, saying"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "Does the children's ballad say that a gentleman is stubborn and stubborn?" ”

Zhai Quanmou knelt down again and said, "My lord is a genius of dragon luck, that is, the children's songs of the market, my lord can vividly hear it, my lord is so sympathetic to his subordinate people, it should be the most of my Song Hongfu, and it should be the most of my lord's Hongfu."

Zhao Kuangyin said, "Alas, where did the words come from, I also reported to me yesterday by an official, and I learned that there is this nursery rhyme in the market." Zhai Aiqing, you are flat, I just want to know, what do you think about my intention to send troops to the Northern Expedition for the third time this time, although there is no need to be polite."

Zhai Quanmou got up and saluted, "Long live Xie, if Long Live really wants to listen to me the truth, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"The court copies, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it"

"Long live my lord, the children's ballad in the market is just an excuse, my lord has been fighting for many years today, the crusade against the south has just been victorious, and the two successive battles against the northern Han have been fruitless. Many ordinary people hope that His Majesty the Emperor can recuperate, and the ministers only hope that our lord can cultivate the world with benevolence, if he changes the national policy of opening the dynasty of our dynasty. It is the ministers who are very lucky, the people who are very lucky, and the world who are very lucky."

Zhao Kuangyin was unhappy in his heart, and he was not good at attacking on the surface, and he was a mediocre official who persuaded himself Huang Lao, and said, "What Zhai Aiqing said is very true, but dominating the world has always been my long-cherished wish with several Aiqing. First the south and then the north, first simple and then easy, has always been the founding policy of me and the current prime minister Zhao Pu. Now I have been in power for fifteen years, these years, my Song Dynasty army, raiding Jinghu, Dingjiangnan, along the way, are beyond the reach of others, I am now more than half a hundred years old, my long-cherished wish is to dominate the world, seeing that now, Liao and the Later Han Dynasty are at odds, it is a good time for our Great Song Dynasty to recover the world, how can I give up this golden opportunity, and stop fighting? Zhai Aiqing don't say more, if Zhong Aiqing still has any opinions, just put it forward, anyway, in a word, I just want to fight the Northern Han"

As soon as he heard that the emperor had set the tone, several ministers who commanded the military apparatus, that is, Prime Minister Zhao Pu, who had always taken loving the people as an example, were silent, and no one else had any opinions

Seeing that there was no one in the group to speak, Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth and ordered, "The guards and horses are all commanded to make Liu Jin listen to the seal, and I will entitle you as the commander of the three armies to ask for the vanguard of the left soldiers and horses of the Northern Han Dynasty, and lead 50,000 soldiers to the Northern Han Dynasty to collect them."

When Liu Jin heard this, he went out of the class and kowtowed, and the mouth said, the ministers received the order, kowtowed and thanked him, and stood according to the class

Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth again, "The North Road has recruited Pan Mei to listen to the seal, and I have appointed you as the pioneer officer of the soldiers and horses in the middle of the Northern Han Dynasty, and ordered 50,000 soldiers to go to the Northern Han Dynasty to collect them."

Pan Mei knelt down from Ban, spoke, received the order, bowed his head in thanksgiving, and stood in Yiban

Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth again, "Baojing Army Festival makes Yang Guangyi listen to the seal, and I will appoint you as the vanguard officer of the soldiers and horses on the right side of the Northern Han Dynasty, and lead 50,000 soldiers to the Northern Han Dynasty."

Yang Guangyi knelt down from class, said, received the decree, kowtowed and thanked him, and stood in class

Zhao Kuangyin instructed, "The vanguard officer of the three-way soldiers and horses will go to the Taiwei Mansion to receive the tiger talisman general seal, point the soldiers and horses, and the others will have this morning music, and they will retreat from the dynasty without this."

All the officials have no foundation, and the officials around Zhao Kuangyin shouted, "Retreat from the dynasty"

This is the end of the court's response

Leaving the court, Zhao Kuangyin went to Furen Palace, worshiped his mother, put on incense, and then listened to the palace maid sing Buddhist scriptures to his mother's spiritual position

Unconsciously, Zhao Kuangyin sat in Furen Palace for a long time, he was old, the older Zhao Kuangyin was, the more he felt that the things in the world were becoming more and more unclear Of course, I don't know why, seeing that it was not too early, he ordered the eunuchs around him to prepare a family banquet, he wanted to take advantage of the happy day when he sent troops to attack the Northern Han Dynasty today, and entertained his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin

King Jin, Zhao Guangyi's mansion, the lights are on at the beginning, after dinner, Zhao Guangyi is resting in the bedroom, and suddenly heard a rumor that the emperor Zhao Kuangyin is going to hold a family banquet in the palace, and wants to invite his brother Zhao Guangyi to drink

Zhao Jia'er Lang brother four

The eldest died early, the second Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied, ascended the throne and sat in the palace in yellow robes, and the third Zhao Guangyi and the fourth Zhao Tingmei have indelible contributions

It's just that a long time ago, there were rumors that the fourth Zhao Tingmei, the emperor and the third were not born by the same mother

True or false is just a rumor among the common people, but among the four brothers, it is true, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi have nothing to talk about, and they have no intention of being a monarch or a minister at all, they are completely two biological siblings

It is probably that after more than ten years of emperor's life, after many years of war baptism, Zhao Guangyi, who is a husband, a father, an emperor, and the emperor's younger brother, have inexplicable feelings

That emotion seems to be far beyond that of the monarch and the minister, far beyond the brothers, it is to know each other in difficulties, it is a silent contest with the court and the Beijing officials in the dynastic game, and it is a side smile of each other's brothers in the test of life and death

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly stood up and put on his clothes, and the concubine Qi hurriedly asked what was the matter when she saw this

Zhao Guangyi kissed the concubine and said, Brother Huang is looking for my family banquet

Qi couldn't help but say coquettishly, it's so late

Zhao Guangyi said, don't you know my imperial brother? When did he miss me, when did he summon me. My two brothers don't have to leave each other, so they don't have to stay at the door, and they may stay in the Forbidden Palace tonight

Leave the Jin Palace, and go to the emperor's bedroom

He was introduced to the Long Live Hall by the eunuchs around the emperor, but he saw that there were countless lights in the hall, illuminating the inside and outside of the hall

There was no one else at the banquet, only Zhao Kuangyin had a table, side by side with a table

There were singing and dancing, and musical instruments were played and sung

Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but be stunned when he came here, saying that he had a good family banquet, how could he only invite himself?

Zhao Kuangyin saw his younger brother coming, but he said slowly, you are here

Zhao Guangyi bowed down and saluted, and his brother was here

Zhao Kuangyin motioned to the table next to him for Guangyi to sit down

Zhao Guangyi came to the table and sat down

Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that he was already drunk at this time, so he got up, stood up at the table, pointed to the singers in the hall and showed Zhao Guangyi, and said while pointing, brother, look, how they danced

Zhao Guangyi said, it's not bad

Zhao Kuangyin said, what do you think of their appearance? Are you interested in picking up one or two and making a partial house?

Zhao Guangyi clasped his head and saluted, but his brother didn't dare

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't stop laughing, you didn't joke, this is not my concubine, what is there to be afraid of

Zhao Guangyi didn't dare to say much, and still bowed down

Zhao Kuangyin walked up to him and patted him on the back, the younger brother doesn't have to be like this, he is just in a bad mood and wants to find someone to talk to

Then sat down at his desk and motioned to Zhao Guangyi, sit

Zhao Guangyi sat down

Zhao Kuangyin said slowly, it has been fifteen years since the Chen Qiao Mutiny established the Song State, and in the past fifteen years, there have been many rights and wrongs, and many grievances and grievances. Since listening to the strategy of Prime Minister Zhao Pu and releasing the military power with a glass of wine, there are fewer and fewer people who can drink and talk with me, and many people only say that I, the emperor, is easy to do, and I just eat and drink in the deep palace every day, but I am bitter and the brothers are fighting in the south and the north. In fact, every time a soldier enters the world, I have never been worried about my stomach, like sitting on pins and needles

Zhao Guangyi frowned, wondering why the imperial brother sighed so much, and asked, "What's wrong with the imperial brother?" Why do you feel this way on such a beautiful day? ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled, and only said, today our army entered the Northern Han Dynasty, above the imperial court, yesterday night discussion, the court officials were persuading me not to go to the Northern Expedition, I am in a bad mood, and invite you to the palace to eat and drink

After listening to this, Zhao Guangyi also sighed in his heart, knowing that recovering the world has always been the dream of his brother Zhao Kuangyin, but the minister has the minister's ideas, and he also has his own little abacus, and he said respectfully, you and my brother don't talk about those sad things, just eat and drink happily

So he drank with Zhao Guangyi, and the order was not lively

At night, Zhao Guangyi was drunk, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was also drunk, and the emperor and Guangyi stayed at the same time

On the second day, the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin, died

Historical facts, rumors, and many versions about the death of Song Taizu

But the royal truth is that Emperor Zhao Kuangyin in 976 A.D., October 19, drinking and eating bad stomach, has been vomiting and diarrhea, and also stained his clothes and pants, because he was drunk and fell asleep and never woke up

Because it hurt the emperor's face, he deliberately concealed it, who would have thought that there would be so many false versions
