Zhao Dezhao left the Funing Palace, turned around and went back to his bedroom, just before Zhao Kuangyin said a word, Zhao Dezhao heard the meaning. On the ninth day of the seventh month of the second year of Jianlong, this day is not unfamiliar to Zhao Dezhao and future generations.

In the Funing Palace, Zhao Kuangyin had trouble sleeping and eating, but when he conspired with Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu put forward his opinions in embarrassment, and Zhao Pu's sentence "The generals of the forbidden army, Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi, have too much military power, it is better to transfer them out of the forbidden army" made Zhao Kuangyin toss and turn on the dragon bed and couldn't sleep.

Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi are his old friends, although he will not oppose him if he does this, and he will not worry about their rebellion, but Zhao Puyan "These two people have no talent as commanders, and they can't control the soldiers below." One day, the people below will make trouble, but I am afraid that they will not be able to help themselves!"

Zhao Pu's words have always pierced his heart deeply, how could he not be the people below who support him as the emperor, and most of them also have the credit of their sons and brothers.

And those forbidden army generals and local festival envoys didn't know that they were in the emperor's plan, and the emperor's knife had been put on their necks, and it was up to them whether to put it down or rebel.

On the streets of Kaifeng, late at night, the spies began to be active in the city. In the past few days, the Wu Desi under the command of Wang Renzhen is still monitoring every move of the officials in the capital, and according to the situation of the previous performance, there has been no disturbance at present, and this matter also makes Zhao Kuangyin feel at ease.

At the same time, Zhao Dezhao also learned from Changchun Hall about the death of the Tang lord Li Jing, Li Jing is still dead, and the enthronement is a generation of emperor Li Yu, for Li Yu, Zhao Dezhao is sympathetic to his fate and appreciates his talent.

Thousands of miles away in Jiangning Mansion, Li Jing's Zigong has been transported to the capital, and the civil and military officials of the Tang State are immersed in the funeral, and at the same time, the prince's accession to the throne is also the top priority of the Tang State.

A few days later, according to Li Jing's edict, it was written: The crown prince Li Congjia was filial piety and pure Jane, bowed to Shen Xiao, and ascended the throne as the emperor.

After the crown prince Li Congjia ascended the throne, he changed his name to Li Yu, and the first priority was to move the capital back to Jiangning Mansion.

Li Yu succeeded to the establishment, returned to Jinling with a funeral, sent an envoy into the court, the minister of the court suggested that the sparse, hoping to restore Li Jing's emperor name, so he sent an envoy to Kaifeng, and then Zhao Kuangyin agreed, so he was Li Jingming Dao Chongde Wen Xuanxiao Emperor, the temple name Yuanzong, the tomb in Shunling......

Li Jing is dead, the strength of the Tang State is even weaker, and in Kaifeng, it seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, and the Son of Heaven Zhao Kuangyin began the "massacre".

Unconsciously, a few days passed, on the ninth day of the seventh month of the second year of Jianlong, today's evening, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin planned to entertain the generals of the forbidden army in the palace.

After the late dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin left Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Wang Xianqi, Zhang Lingduo, Zhao Yanhui and other senior generals of the forbidden army to drink together in the side hall.

"The official family is in a good mood today, inviting our brothers to drink."

"There is wine today and drunk today, brothers, drink wine and eat meat together." Zhao Kuangyin picked up the wine glass, and Shi Shouxin and the others picked up the wine in the cup and drank it together.

Half an hour passed, and the hall was filled with singing and dancing, and the banquet had already been eaten.

"Come, come, come on—drink."

"—"

Just when the wine was in full swing, suddenly, Zhao Kuangyin retreated from Zhang Dejun beside him, and then took the wine glass and drank it to himself.

And the generals who sat down were still drinking and eating meat, talking to each other, so unhappy, but Zhao Kuangyin's heart was still very entangled, at this moment, Zhao Dezhao behind the screen knocked on the screen and coughed carefully.

Zhao Kuangyin heard the screen code, and suddenly spoke, and at this moment, the military generals under him began to silence.

"Ahem...... Brothers, I am sitting here today relying on your efforts, if it weren't for you, I Zhao Yuen Long He De How could I sit on the dragon chair, so I am very grateful to you in my heart, and I am talking about your public morality. However, it is so tiring to be an emperor that it is better to be happy with a festival, and between the months of ascending to the earth, I have difficulty sleeping and eating, and I dare not sleep all night. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said here, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

At this time, Shi Shouxin and the others were shocked, looked at each other, and hurriedly asked the reason.

Zhao Kuangyin was just about to get up from the dragon chair at this time, but suddenly collapsed on the dragon chair, picked up a glass of wine, and then drank it to himself, "Alas-to be the emperor to do my part, what peace and happiness is there, who doesn't want the position of emperor of me, do you say yes?" ”

"Official, drunk ......"

Shi Shouxin and the others listened to Zhao Kuangyin's words, and knew that he had something to say, so they quickly knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "Why did the eldest brother say this, now the destiny of heaven has been decided, the eldest brother is the true dragon and the son of heaven, within the four seas, who dares to have a different heart?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin had another glass of wine, then sighed, and continued: "Keep your word, you still remember that I am your eldest brother and a brother of the Righteous Society, but my brother knows that although you have no different intentions, but your subordinates want to be rich and noble, once the yellow robe is added to you, even if you don't want to be the emperor, you can't help yourself." Right? ”

The generals who fell to their knees knew that they were already under suspicion and that if they didn't get it right, they would lead to death, and they all kowtowed for a while, and some of them even cried in horror, begging the emperor to show them a "way to live".

"You have misunderstood what I mean, man, this life is as short as a white horse, so if you want to be rich, you only want to gather more money and have more entertainment, so that future generations may not be poor. In the past, Xiao He did the right thing, he didn't go the way of Han Xin, but Han Xin ...... Alas, it's hard to put into words...... Brothers, brothers, you might as well release your military power, go to the place, think about your children and grandchildren, and buy more good land and beautiful houses; At the same time, buy more singers and dancers, drink and enjoy each other day and night, and live for the rest of your life, and I will marry you again, and there will be no suspicion between the monarch and the minister, and the upper and lower levels will be at peace, isn't that great! ”

Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Wang Xianqi, Zhang Lingduo, Zhao Yanhui and others raised their heads, and heard that the emperor said so clearly, there is no place to maneuver, power is just a passing cloud, after a hundred years, if future generations cause a disaster, then the underground themselves will not be spared, the worst is to rob the family and destroy the ancestors, open the coffin and kill the corpse.

They looked at each other, then lowered their heads, and now in the forbidden army, the emperor firmly controlled the forbidden army's power to drop troops, and they had no other way.

And the secret agents of the Wude Division are bound to spy on them in secret, rich and noble like floating clouds, they have gone from a white Ding to a military general who now holds military power in their lives, and they think that their lives are almost over.

"Thank you officials, the ministers understand." Shi Shouxin and the others had no choice but to bow down and express their gratitude to the emperor for his favor.

And Zhao Dezhao behind the screen witnessed the scene of releasing military power with a glass of wine at this moment, and his heart was also shocked.

Yesterday, he deliberately went to Funing Palace, and then Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to tell the whole plan, but after Zhao Dezhao heard it, there was no other way, to weaken the military power in the hands of the generals, and then he would be able to pave the way for the opening of a military school.

At this moment, the banquet has been carried out for most of the time, but the generals who knelt on the ground are all silent, how could they have thought that today would be such a scene.

And Emperor Zhao Kuangyin really realized the taste of being an emperor at this moment, the emperor is a lonely person. At today's banquet, there are no brothers, and in the future, there will only be kings and ministers.

Zhao Kuangyin was drunk, got up and got down from the dragon seat, walked in front of the generals, and then bowed down to help Shi Shouxin and the others on the ground.

"Xie Guan's family." Several people trembled.

The banquet has been carried out to this point, and it is self-evident in the hearts of several people that after they go back, they will hand over the military power.

The banquet has dispersed, and Shi Shouxin and the others have already stepped out of the hall and left alone. And Zhao Kuangyin looked at their departing figures and sat on the dragon seat.

Zhao Dezhao came out from behind the screen at this time, watched a few people leave, and then comforted Zhao Kuangyin and said: "Daddy, for the sake of the country and the people." None of that matters. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, and then fell asleep.

The next day, the sky was bright, above the court, the civil official group was very surprised by this, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Wang Xianqi, Zhang Lingduo, Zhao Yanhui and others claimed that they were sick, and they asked to be relieved of military power, Zhao Kuangyin readily agreed, let them resign from the forbidden army, to the local festival envoy, and abolished the palace in front of the inspection and the guard pro-army Ma Bujun command division.

Zhao Kuangyin ordered the inspection of the front of the palace, the Zhenning Army Festival to make Murong Yanzhao the Shannan Dongdao Festival Envoy, and the guards and pro-army all commanded Han Lingkun to be the Chengde Festival Envoy. And the inspection in front of the palace is the position that the son of today previously held, and it will no longer be set up.

Shi Shouxin succeeded Han Lingkun as the commander of the guard Ma Bujun.

……

After that, among the forbidden army, they were commanded by the front of the palace, the commander of the guards and horses, and the guards and infantry troops, that is, the so-called three ya. After relieving Shi Shouxin and other generals of military power, Zhao Kuangyin chose some other people with little qualifications, low personal prestige, and easy control to serve as generals of the forbidden army.

The power of the forbidden army to lead the army was divided into three, and the generals with lower rank controlled the three ya, which meant that the imperial power strengthened its control over the army.

Zhao Kuangyin fulfilled his promise to marry a senior general of the forbidden army, married his widowed sister to Gao Huaide, and later married his daughter to the son of Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi. Zhang Lingduo's daughter married her third brother, Zhao Guangmei.

The ten brothers of the Righteous Society, all the positions of the forbidden army were lifted, and they were no longer given to people, and the real power was unified and regulated by the central court.

……

Zhao Kuangyin took out the holy decree prepared in advance, and sent Li Hanchao to guard Guannan, Ma Renyu to guard Yingzhou, Han Lingkun to guard Changshan, He Weizhong to guard Yizhou, He Jiyun to guard Dizhou, Guo Jin to guard Xishan, Wu Shouqi to guard Jinyang, Li Qianpu to guard Xizhou, Li Jixun to guard Zhaoyi, Zhao Zan to guard Yanzhou, Yao Neibin to guard Qingzhou, Dong Zunzhi to guard Huanzhou, Wang Yansheng to guard Yuanzhou, and Feng Jiye to guard Lingwu.

The forbidden army has been resolved, and the local festival makes the military power can only come step by step for the time being. After solving the problem of the forbidden army, Zhao Kuangyin's side began to act again.

Ten days later, Zhao Kuangyin felt that the time was ripe, so he ordered the court meeting to discuss the establishment of a military academy, and when the military academy was first proposed, some civilian officials were opposed, and they had already weakened the military power in the hands of the generals of the forbidden army, and now they had to recruit new students and train new soldiers, they thought that this was essentially the same.

What's more, the soldier is also fierce. The establishment of a military academy is detrimental to the Confucian concept of governing the world, so there is some resistance, but among the rulers, only Wang Pu and Wang Pu insist on the establishment of a military academy, in addition, Zhao Pu, Miao Xun, Xue Juzheng and others also agree with the establishment of a military academy.

And the emperor's side, is also the head of the big, and the party Zhao Dezhao, who proposed the military school, sat under the court, listening to the ministers talking to each other, and finally Zhao Dezhao proposed to give a compromise method, choose a place in the open space in the west of the city, build a military school, and after the autumn, start to recruit the first batch of new students in the Great Song Dynasty, a total of 100 people, every autumn enrollment.

In the end, the ministers of the DPRK and China also began to compromise and did so for the time being.

_______________________________________________________

Jiangning Mansion, since Li Yu ascended the throne, the political and social contradictions in the Tang Kingdom have accumulated and it is difficult to return.

Since the defeat of Huainan, the Tang Dynasty had to pay a high tribute to the Central Plains every year. Originally, it spanned the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, and the economy between the north and the south was complementary, such as the lack of salt in the south of the Yangtze River, while the salt production in the north of the Yangtze River. After the loss of Huainan, Tang not only lost an important salt producing area, but also spent a huge amount of money to buy salt from the Great Song Dynasty.

With the ascension of the new lord to the throne, a new round of party struggle within the imperial court began. Li Yushan is good at writing, calligraphy and painting, and bosom friends, but he is not familiar with politics, so he entrusted the state affairs to Zhang Xun, a staff member when he was the prince, and began his career in spring flowers and autumn moons.

At this moment, in a temple, a monk looked at the north bank of the Yangtze River and planned to lay a pontoon bridge here.

And a few years later, it was this pontoon bridge that helped the Great Song Dynasty destroy the Tang Kingdom, and this person was Fan Ruoshui.
