Zhao Kuangyin said: "I think it's better for us to talk while drinking!" I feel very happy to see Mei Gongzi today. ”

Zhao Kuangyin seemed to ignore Zhao Pu completely, and didn't listen to what he said, as if he had made some decisions in his heart.

With heavy troops in hand, it is easy to want people to submit, but it is very difficult to want people to obey from the heart.

Since you can't make people give in psychologically, you choose to make people give in in action.

Zhu Wen made a start for the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness have become useless things, and what is useful is only force.

Many of the princes who fought for supremacy killed their superiors and colleagues.

This incident is the "Disaster of the White Horse Station".

The Disaster of the White Horse Station not only killed the minister, but also provided a precedent for the random rebellion of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were divided, and the central government had already existed in name only, and each feudal town was in charge of its own affairs and did not obey the central command. Zhu Wen was the most powerful of the feudal towns, he controlled the capital, and he took control of the emperor.

Zhu Wen's area was the most powerful feudal town at that time. He controlled the central government, and many former ministers in the court talked about him behind his back, saying that he was a rebel and a thief.

Zhu Wen already had the idea of becoming emperor at that time, and if he wanted to be emperor, he had to get the support of the ministers of the court, and if they didn't support it, he needed to kill them.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were divided, and the princes spoke by force, and some big families were not taken seriously. In addition, some of the princes were all military generals, and they looked down on literati psychologically.

Zhu Wen was a military general, and he looked down on the old bureaucrats of the Tang Dynasty very much. During the White Horse Post Disaster, he killed most of the old bureaucrats in the court and appointed his cronies as new ones.

The disaster of the White Horse Station is a portrayal of Zhu Wen's step-by-step usurpation of the central power of the imperial court. When Zhu Wen was in office as a Jiedu envoy, his biggest competitor was Li Keyong. Zhu Wen later defeated Li Keyong, and there was no more competitor in the Central Plains who could match him.

He led his troops into Guanzhong, defeated Li Maozhen, and grabbed Tang Zhaozong

After Zhu Wen grabbed Tang Zhaozong, he moved the capital to Luoyang. In Luoyang, he killed Tang Zhaozong and set up another little emperor, that is, Emperor Tang Ai. Zhu Wen's actions were criticized by the Tang Dynasty courtiers, who did not dare to say anything clearly, but behind the scenes, they would expose Zhu Wen's ambitions. This is where the Hakuba Disaster begins.

Zhu Wen already had the intention of becoming an emperor at that time, and his territory was the largest among the princes at that time, and it was the Central Plains, with developed agriculture. He has enough strength to be emperor. For the old ministers in the court, he considered this matter with the mind of a martial artist, and since they were disobedient, he would kill them.

Zhu Wen has a capable subordinate named Li Zhen, and Li Zhen is a scholar. He hated those dignitaries very much, so he kept instigating Zhu Wen to kill these old ministers.

At the instigation of everyone, Zhu Wen finally began to kill his old ministers. The beginning of the disaster of the White Horse Post was the killing of the prince.

Tang Zhaozong had several princes, and Zhu Wen invited them to drink, and then killed them at the banquet. at

After killing these princes, Zhu Wen aimed his butcher's knife at his former ministers, and finally at the White Horse Station, Zhu Wen killed more than 30 ministers.

With the death of these ministers, the Tang Dynasty, which lasted for three hundred years, came to a strange place. At the end of the White Horse Post disaster, Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor and killed Emperor Tang Ai.

Driven by ambition, Zhu Wen created the disaster of the White Horse Station, and as a result, many old ministers of the Tang Dynasty were killed, and all the court of the Tang Dynasty were replaced by Zhu Wen's cronies.

The disaster of the White Horse Station opened the prelude to the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

After warming the wine, Zhao Kuangyin didn't forget to pour Mei Xiaohan a glass, and said, "I just want to get drunk today." ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "General Zhao, you can't drink this wine!" ”

"The taste is so light... It's so boring. ”

Zhao Pu was a little unhappy and wanted to have a seizure, but he didn't know what to say.

Originally, I wanted to talk to General Zhao about important things, but I didn't expect to be left behind for a drink.

Wine is a wonderful thing, first of all, it is made of food, and secondly, it promotes the relationship between people.

Mei Xiaohan patted the wine gourd in his hand and said, "My gourd is not simple!" ”

Zhao Pu sighed and said, "Mei Gongzi, why are you like this!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Don't pay attention to him, tell me what story you have in this gourd?" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "This gourd is full of old wine!" ”

Mei Xiaohan shook the gourd, poured it into the bowl, brought it to Zhao Kuangyin, and said, "General, please taste the taste of this wine!" ”

Zhao Pu suddenly snatched the wine that Mei Xiaohan wanted to serve to Zhao Kuangyin, and said, "Wait a minute, I want to see if this wine is poisonous." ”

These words angered Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Zhao Pu, you are too much!" ”

"Who is Mei Gongzi! How can Ben's life-saving benefactor be slandered at will! ”

"Smack!"

The bowl of wine hit the ground and foamed at the water.

A rich malt fragrance came to his nose, and Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "Good wine!" Wine! What a pity! ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "It seems... It's not easy for me to stay here for long! ”

After saying this, Mei Xiaohan walked outside, Zhao Kuangyin caught up with him and grabbed him, and said: "Why should Mei Gongzi be angry with that pedantic scholar, I don't doubt your meaning!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "No... It's me who bothers me so much, I think it's time for me to go too! ”

"Where is Mei Gongzi going?"

"The world is so big, I think there is always a place for me!"

"Since Mei Gongzi has made up his mind, I won't stay longer, and there will be a period later!"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I don't know where Mei Gongzi is going now?" ”

Mei Xiaohan smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but... I think we'll meet again, and we'll see you later! ”

Before leaving, Mei Xiaohan poured another bowl of wine for Zhao Kuang and a bowl for Zhao Pu, and Zhao Pu's face looked very ugly.

Mei Xiaohan said: "Lord Zhao... This time I'll drink first! ”

After speaking, Mei Xiaohan raised her head and drank the morning wine.

Zhao Pu embarrassedly picked up the bowl and drank it.

"Good wine!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Kuangyin was full of praise after drinking, and said: "Could it be that the good things in the world are all in your Mei Gongzi?" I am so envious! ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "The general praised me, I am a cloth cloth, I have neither grade nor official position, I have nothing to do, where is the general!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "It's still unfinished!" Ay! ”

"I don't know when I'll be able to drink this kind of wine again!"

Mei Xiaohan said: "If we are fated to meet again, I think there will definitely be this opportunity!" ”

Zhao Pu said: "Mei Gongzi... I was offended just now, and I ask Mei Gongzi not to take it to heart! ”

Zhao Pu is loyal to Zhao Kuangyin, Mei Xiaohan also saw it, although he doesn't like this person, but he has to say that he is an excellent minion.
