In fact, after the abdication of Taishang Zhao Ji, although he became the first Taishang Emperor in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, his identity was very embarrassing because he was in such a special historical period. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
You must know that under the system of the emperor's dictatorship, the emperor is the only absolute ruler of the world, although there have been times in history when the emperor and the emperor coexisted, but they have never encountered such special conditions as now.
This title of the emperor began with the father of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who was not "the father has the world and passes it on to the son", but "the son has the world and respects the father", so he "does not pre-govern the country". Later, after Tang Gaozu and Tang Xuanzong abdicated, although he was called Emperor Taishang, he did not pre-govern the country, which was because the son forced his father, and the father had no choice.
Now, Taishang Zhao Ji is not only different from Tang Gaozu, Tang Xuanzong, but also different from Han Taigong, he is his father has the world, passed on to his son, and he also took the initiative to abdicate. When he abdicated, he issued a command through the three provinces and the Privy Council, saying: "Except for the affairs of the sect, the rest does not matter." ”
Although Zhao Huan is looking forward to this promise becoming a reality, but Taishang Zhao Ji ran to the southeast to take refuge, not to mention, and now he still has a move in Zhenjiang that wants to fight against the court, which is a bit embarrassing.
In fact, there is no need to be reminded by others, as the core party today, the top priority he worries about after taking the throne, in addition to how to make peace with Jin Jun, is how to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and becoming the "second Tang Ruizong" who was abolished after he was established. Taishang Zhao Ji fled south to Huai and Zhejiang, and hundreds of officials gathered in Zhenjiang, how could it not arouse the vigilance of Zhao Huan today.
At the beginning, Taishang Zhao Ji first deceived Zhao Huan and ordered someone to coax Zhao Huan to the palace, and then ordered the eunuch to forcibly change him into the emperor's clothes to succeed to the throne.
After Zhao Ji abdicated, he also quickly fled to Zhenjiang, and his entourage included Empress Taishang, the prince, and the emperor, as well as Cai Jing's eldest son, the Privy Council, the palace envoy Cai You, and the eunuch Deng Shanxun. Although Zhao Ji forcibly ordered Cai Jing not to follow because of the need to avoid suspicion, Cai Jing's nephew, Shangshu Zuocheng, and Yu Wencui, the deputy envoy of the Gong Xie Palace, and Fan Ne, the commander of the Shengjie Army, also led the Shengjie Army to arrive later.
The commander of the Shengjie Army, Fan Ne, was originally Tong Guan's doorman, and later relied on Tong Guan's power, and the official to the Jiedu envoy, the Shengjie Army was Tong Guan's pro-army, composed of the Western Army, with rich salaries, well-equipped, and extremely strong combat effectiveness. The one led by Fan Ne happened to be the pro-army of Tong Guan's pro-army, and it was the most elite part of Shengjie's army, which was undoubtedly an important military capital that Taishang Zhao Ji brought to Zhenjiang.
Then, Zhao Huan had already strictly ordered Tong Guan to be appointed as the deputy guard of Tokyo, and asked him to lead the army to assist Zong Ze and Li Gang to defend Tokyo, but Tong Guan's guy was "uneasy when he heard it", so he led his victorious army and set out to "follow the drive of Longde".
As a result, Chen Dong later listed the top ten crimes of Tong Guan when he participated in the "Fourteen Thieves": "If you don't give your life, you go to the southeast without permission; Sent to stay behind, not to be ordered. ”
However, Tong Guan dared to despise Zhao Huan today, and acted so boldly and recklessly, obviously with the tacit approval of Taishang Zhao Ji. And there are many officials like Tong Guan who went to the southeast without the approval of the imperial court, "The emperor is fortunate to Bozhou, and the ministers and magnates do not care about the country's difficulties, and they all beg to drive and leave their families." The rest of the families of hundreds of officials went, and the attendants fled from Shangshu, such as Zhang Quan, Wei Zhongda, He Dagui and other 56 people. "For example, Zhang Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, "As an eight, he asked Huainan to do official business." ”
As a result, there was a situation in the city of Tokyo where "those who went to the imperial court were three or four out of ten, and the class was empty, and everyone was appalled", while on the contrary, Taishang Zhao Ji was in the palace in Zhenjiang and the Jiangnan area.
In particular, although Taishang Zhao Ji made some arrangements and arrangements before escaping, such as leaving Wang Hao, Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and others to assist Zhao Huan today, and even nominally asked Lao Cai Jing to help him get on the horse and send him another ride, but Cai Jing didn't sell Zhao Huan's account at all, and the whole family poured out.
Later, due to Zhao Huan's sudden recharge of IQ, he quickly reached a reconciliation agreement with the Jin army, although a lot of gold and silver were defrauded, but at least the capital was not broken, and the country was not destroyed.
But after the danger of the country was solved, new problems followed, Zhao Huan, who had not yet sat on the dragon chair, had not yet heated his buttocks, and Zhao Ji, who ran away, actually started a small court in Zhenjiang. Before this, Zhao Huan's minister, Shaozai Wu Min and others, suggested that they send people to the southeast to urge Taishang Zhao Ji to return to the north, but Zhao Ji just ignored it.
As a last resort, he also adopted the strategy of Zheng Wangzhi and others, and now Zhao Huan first demoted Cai You, a close confidant of Taishang Zhao Ji, to the official position, and on the other hand, he personally went to edict Cai You, telling him to "single-mindedly return from Taishang", that is, Cai You went to urge Taishang Zhao Ji to leave Zhenjiang and return to Kaifeng in the north.
At the same time, Zhao Huan interviewed Song Huan, another close confidant who had escorted Taishang Zhao Ji to flee south, for two consecutive days, and restored his official position as "Jiang, Huai, Jing, Zhejiang and other road systems and shipping envoys", and instructed him to go southeast as soon as possible, and urged Taishang Zhao Ji to return to the north in the palace, and appointed Zhao Ye, a servant of his men, as "the envoy of the Daojun Emperor's palace" to greet Taishang Zhao Ji.
However, after all means were exhausted, Zhao Ji seemed to have taken root in Zhenjiang, and he couldn't move the thunder, but he couldn't return north.
At this time, Chen Dong, who jumped up and made trouble and brought down the fourteen thieves, was on a "Please Taishang Nan Hunt and Return to Que Shu", although the words in it did not make Zhao Huan's eyes shine, but the people around him were bright, so he summoned Chen Dong to Daqing Hall today and asked him to endorse this section in person.
