The king said the name Xin Zan, which had his own intentions, first of all, since he ruled out Xin Zan as a close minister of the Liao Emperor, he also ruled out the possibility that Xin Zan was a spy; Secondly, as far as Wang Pan knows, Xin Zan's official residence in the South Courtyard of Linya, and the Southern Courtyard of the Liao State is a state and county that governs the Han people, and Wang Pan feels that it will be easier for him to communicate with Xin Zan than for him to communicate with the Khitans.

Yelu Hongji had guessed halfway, and he thought of the second point that the king had in mind, so he readily agreed: "Then ask Sinzan to assist you in this matter." "And Jelu Hongki thought to himself, I promise you, and see what thou hast to say,

"Emperor Liao, before the tower is repaired, the matter of repairing the tower is a heavenly opportunity, including Emperor Liao, you can't go to that place in advance, or send someone to investigate." The king also instructed that he was not afraid that the tower would not be built well, but that he did not want Yelu Hongji's "cronies" to know.

Yelu Hongji looked at the mysterious appearance next to the king, thinking that the stone that was more than ten zhang high was difficult to go up with bare hands, let alone build a tower on it, Yelu Hongji saw the seriousness of what the king said, and he was very curious in his heart, "According to your words, I will give Xin Zan a secret decree, let him listen to your arrangement, and arrange soldiers to guard the key positions of the mountain pass, and no one is allowed to go up the mountain without the consent of Wang Shilang." ”

Wang Fang thanked the emperor of Liao with satisfaction, and Yelu Liangren, who went to get the gold medal at this time, also came back, Wang Fang thanked him again, took the gold medal and saw that it was all Khitan script, and he couldn't understand it, so he got up in his arms and said goodbye to Yelu Hongji: "I will go back to prepare for this, and the Liao Emperor can go to do other things first, when to go to Rehe, and wait for my good news to decide." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded, thinking that he would give him thousands of soldiers, and he had Xinzan in the mountains to supervise him, so nothing would happen, "You go, let the beloved person send you out of the bowl." ”

Wang smiled and waved his hand: "No need, I'll try this gold medal to work." After saying that, he laughed, turned around and walked out of Huluduo, Yelu Hongji looked at the back of the king, smiled helplessly and shook his head, this king's behavior is really perverse and cute, Yelu Liang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will send the king to the waiter." ”

"Go ahead." Yelu Hongji said, and he was happy with the impossible twin towers next to the king, and poured himself a drink.

Wang walked out of Huluduo and looked around, where he was now, it was the center of the bowl, and it was also the most heavily guarded place, "Wang Shilang, I'll send you." "The king listened to the man beside him, Yeluliang, who spoke slowly and logically, and his voice was not loud, probably because the palace people had been doing it for a long time.

The king was just about to say "yes", when he heard the voice of someone talking next to the tent beside him, the voice was not coming from the tent, this person spoke in an urn, although the voice was very low, he still felt the buzzing sound, not to mention that everyone was very sensitive to their own names, "Today you are on duty, and the emperor may have said something when he summoned the king." ”

Wang Bi and Yelu Liang looked at each other, and the two of them held their breath at the same time, secretly went around to the tent, looked behind, and saw a big man asking the guard on duty, this big man was eight feet tall, standing there like a black iron tower,

"Tell the general, the emperor didn't say anything, just let us out." The guard replied,

"Hmm." When the man heard this, he turned around and walked in the direction of the king and Yelu Liangren, who saw that he had no time to evade, so he simply stood beside the king and said to Yelu Liangren: "Today I am fortunate to be entertained by the Liao Emperor's feast, and I have also rewarded him with a gold medal, and I am very grateful." ”

Yelu Liangren echoed: "My emperor is gracious to the world, Wang Shilang doesn't need to be too polite, come and I'll send you out." After saying that, the two of them pulled their legs and wanted to leave,

The big black man, known as the General, had already walked up to them: "Good man, here." And he glared at the man of Jerod, and looked up and down beside the king.

"Hehe, General Sazhuzhu is back, this is the king of the Song Kingdom." As he spoke, he introduced the king to the king, and then said to the king: "Wang Shilang, this general of the palace has checked the Jelu Sazhu, the emperor has given you a gold medal, and the king of the king is free to come and go in and out of the bowl, and don't forget to say hello to the general of the stinging bamboo." ”

Wang looked at the general who sprinkled the bamboo sting, and on his swarthy face, pimples looked uncomfortable.

"Oh, Wang Shilang, I've heard of it, fortunately." With a smile on his face, he clenched his fists and said,

This person has a question, Wang Bi can't help but put a question mark in his heart, if he heard correctly, just now he asked the soldiers about himself, and directly used the name Wang Bi, "General Sazhu, in the future, it is indispensable to meet with the general more, if there is something missing, you have to bear more." "The king politely returned,

"Then I'll send Wang Shilang first, and General Sazhu's reply can be done." After the man finished speaking, he secretly dragged the king's side,

"Okay, then I'll go first, oh, and, the beloved manager, did the emperor say when he will leave for Rehe." General Sazhuzhu suddenly asked,

Yelu Liang shook his head: "Well, it doesn't seem to be." ”

General Sazhuzhu hesitated to look at Yelu Liangren, and then looked at the king, as if he felt that it was not appropriate to ask more, and said goodbye to the two of them and went to the emperor's account.

"Let's go." And Jerodyo whispered, and went out with the king.

Wang Bi was even more puzzled in his heart, why Yelu seemed to be a little afraid of sprinkling thorns; And the bamboo seems to be very concerned about Yelu Hongji's itinerary,

Yelu Liang also seemed to see the confusion of the king, and he whispered to the king: "This general who sprinkled the bamboo is naturally powerful and brave; But if he does things a little roughly, he is inspected in front of the palace, if he finds anyone who is unfavorable to the emperor, it is common for him to cut first and then play, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries, and it is better to provoke him less. ”

When the king heard the word "inspection in front of the palace", he suddenly thought of a very important thing, which should start with this official position: many official positions in the Liao State were established with reference to the Song State, and in the early days of the Song State, there was still a position of inspection in front of the palace, and now the inspection position in front of the palace of the Song State has been cancelled, and the reason for this is quite tortuous, not only twists and turns, but also because of this official position, which led to the national policy of the Song State to emphasize literature and light military force,

As early as February of the first year of Xiande (954), in order to strengthen the army directly under the imperial court, Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty selected a person with excellent martial arts to serve as a guard in front of the palace.

However, when the third emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Zongxun, ascended the throne for just half a year, the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan had a big attack, but at this time, the biggest rumor in Kaifeng City was a sentence: "On the day of the army, you should be the Son of Heaven".

On the way to the north, when the emperor was reviewing the documents of the Quartet, he found a leather bag containing a wooden plaque with the words "check as the Son of Heaven", and at that time, the palace was checked by Zhang Yongde, the son-in-law of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei and the brother-in-law of Sejong.

The emperor was suspicious, that is, Zhao Kuangyin was appointed to replace Zhang Yongde as the position of the palace capital inspection, and soon after, Sejong died of sudden illness, the country had just lost a holy lord, but the new emperor was only a seven-year-old child, Zhao Kuangyin was ordered to send the front deputy of the palace to check Murong Yanzhao as the striker, and immediately sent troops; The main army went out of Kaifeng from Aijingmen and went north,

Zhao Kuangyin led the army to leave the capital for a few days, and stayed at Chenqiaoyi (now Chenqiao Town, southeast of Fengqiu, Henan), which was 20 kilometers northeast of Kaifeng. Why don't you first support Zhao Kuangyin as the emperor, and then set off on the northern expedition",

The mutiny of the soldiers was soon stirred, and at this time, Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi (later renamed Guangyi, that is, Zhao Jiong, Taizong of the Song Dynasty) and his confidant Zhao Pu saw that the time was ripe, so they instructed the soldiers to put the yellow robe of the emperor who had prepared one thing first to ascend the throne on Zhao Kuangyin, who had just woken up from pretending to be drunk, and they all bowed to the court, and the voice of shouting long live could be heard several miles away, so they supported him as the emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin first pretended to prevaricate, and then announced in public that after returning to Kaifeng, the queen mother and the little emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty should not be shocked, and the treasury of the city should not be plundered.

So Zhao Kuangyin led the mutiny team back to Kaifeng, the main forbidden army generals who garrisoned the capital, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi and others were Zhao Kuangyin's "association brothers" in the past, and after learning that the mutiny was successful, he opened the city gate to respond, and the soldiers of the Chen Qiao mutiny controlled Kaifeng, the capital of the Later Zhou Dynasty, without blood.

Zhao Kuangyin took the Song Dynasty as the country name, and established the Zhao Song Dynasty in Kaifeng, the capital.

"History of the Song Dynasty" is written like this, this is the "Chenqiao Mutiny" in the history of the Song Dynasty, but it is worth noting that after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he did not go out to resist the advance of the Liao State, and the Liao soldiers who were originally reported to have committed the border left on their own; "History of Liao" also does not have a record of "it is the year of Nankou"; ready-made yellow robes, draft the edict of the Zen position in advance; left the confusing story of "checking as the Son of Heaven" for later generations,

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the palace inspection, after the Chen Qiaoyi mutiny, fearing that the military generals would seize power, not only canceled the palace capital inspection of this high-ranking and powerful official position, in order to prevent the military generals from usurping the throne, but also left a "cup of wine to release the military power" in history.

Song Taizu stabilized the regime and formulated the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force, which is a piece of history, but when the king saw Yelu Sazhu, he heard about his official position, and suddenly realized: If Sazhu is a spy around Yelu Hongji, then the matter will be very serious.

Wang Bian asked Yelu Liangren, "Good man, why haven't I seen this general before?" ”

"Oh, some time ago, there was a maid around the queen who was walking too quickly, and she was running into this general who accompanied the emperor to inspect the camp tent, and she didn't have time to avoid it, and was killed by the general of the thorn bamboo, the queen is kind by nature and doesn't like to kill innocents indiscriminately, and the maid is a person in the palace, and the emperor is afraid that the queen will be angry, so he sent him to recruit the leather room army to enrich the forbidden army." And Jeroth was not in a hurry to tell the king about this,

Wang Guan frowned when he heard this, this person has such a reckless and brutal personality, and he has an important official position, which is not a good thing.
