Chen Qiao's Mutiny: Return to the City
All right! Now that the army can return to the city, first send two people to do two things, one public and one private.
Chu Zhaofu returned to the city to report safety to Zhao Kuangyin's family, and by the way, he told them that the emperor took turns to do it, and he arrived at Zhao's house this year. It's a beautiful difference. Chu Zhaofu is very good, and he sneaks back to the capital to report the news without knowing it. But the next order was terrible. Zhao Kuangyin wants to send someone back to the capital first, to meet the three prime ministers, the commander-in-chief of Han, and even directly to the queen mother and the little emperor for a showdown! Come to think of it, has anyone ever done this before? Do you believe that even if the little emperor can't cut off the head of the new emperor in the future, he will cut you off first? The first brave general of the Northern Song Dynasty was born! Pan Mei! Previously, he was unknown. And Zhao Kuangyin is knowledgeable, Pan Mei is brave and talented, and she will definitely be able to live up to her mission!
Zhao Kuangyin's army immediately returned south! However, outside the Chenqiao Gate in the north of Kaifeng City, he was as depressed as Guo Wei back then. Guo Wei was blocked by Liu Bao in front of the Xuanhua Gate, and Zhao Kuangyin was blocked by a surnamed Lu and a surnamed Qiao outside the Chenqiao Gate. After entering the city, the army immediately dispersed, each rushing to the place of responsibility for his own subdivision.
After Mrs. Du heard the good news reported by Chu Zhaofu, she was very calm, "My son has always had great ambitions, and now it is true"
And Pan Mei traveled all the way, and when he entered Kaifeng, the Later Zhou monarchs had not yet gone to the early dynasty. Pan Mei went up to the palace proudly and announced to these people that Zhao Kuangyin had mutined and became the emperor, and he was on his way back to the army at this time!
Everyone was stunned. The biggest move was that Fan Zhen suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Pu's hand, shouting, "Rush to send the general, the sin of our generation" Wang Pu gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. It turned out later that he was not blaming himself, he was enduring the pain - he didn't expect Brother Fan's nails to be longer than that of a young girl, and it happened that Wang Pu's hands were quite tender. So the history said - a few bleeds from the claw into Pu's hand, and Pu Su couldn't be right.
Suddenly there was a change, life and death, and there was only one person left who was truly loyal to the Chai family in the next week: Han Tong! Seeing the performance of the three prime ministers and civil and military officials, it is unknown whether Han Tong is desperate. But he will never allow himself to be like them! He hurried down the Golden Temple to assemble the army that could still listen to him. No matter how disparity in strength is, he has to do the best work for the Great Zhou Tianxia and the Han family...
However, even his guards made a choice between Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Zongxun in a moment. At this point, there was not much army left for him to control, and time was running out. Hancom quickly made a decision: narrow the target! Specific to the rebel Zhao Kuangyin himself - arrest the Zhao family as a bargaining chip to stop the mutiny!
The few guards were urgently assembled, led by Han Tong himself, and killed Zhao Kuangyin's palace office! Because the Zhao family is there at this time! However, what Han Tong may not know is that the person who was stationed in the front of the palace that day was actually the commander of the palace, Shi Shouxin himself. Shi Shouxin ordered an unprecedented density of arrows to greet the former old boss. Time passed minute by minute, until Zhao Kuangyin's army entered the city, and a man named Wang Yansheng led the army to kill ......
Wang Yansheng didn't know what kind of chicken blood he was beaten that day, and he was very excited. Kill Han Tong to escape on horseback, and chase all the way, directly into the Han Mansion, and kill Han Tong himself, his wife, and sons (including the disabled Han Huo)! Only Hantong's daughters were left......
In such a hurry, killing and killing, Zhao Kuangyin solemnly swore in Chen Qiaoyi during the day, and his words are still in his ears... But Han Tong was killed in his own home! And what is even more chilling is that the history books compiled by the Song people record that on the day of the mutiny, Han Tong "returned home in panic" from the palace, and met Wang Yansheng halfway through, so he was killed. Ouyang Xiu's "History of the New Five Dynasties" did not dare to give Han Tong a biography. Think about it carefully: Pan Mei entered the city first, and Han Tong then went down to the palace. If you go home directly, how can you meet Wang Yansheng on the way? Did Hantong see a beautiful MM halfway and chatted for a while? Or will Wang Yansheng be extremely light and fly into Kaifeng City after Pan Mei?
But sometimes it's not a good thing to work too hard. What Zhao Kuangyin wants is a stable and stable Bianliang, and buying people's hearts is a big deal for him. And Wang Yansheng was a little confused, so he killed Han Tong without authorization. Let Zhao Kuangyin's dream of soldiers be bloodless, and the change of dynasty was stained with blood. So Wang Yansheng's official luck is not smooth. The biggest officials are some assassins and defense envoys. Luo Yanhuan, Ma Renyu, and Li Hanchao, who were originally under him, all made festival envoys. But Wang Yansheng invisibly helped Zhao Kuangyin a lot in this matter! What's busy? Punish someone as a warning to others!
To win the world, to want a person not to die and not shed a drop of blood, that is simply unrealistic perfectionism. Don't take two people out and kill them for the world to see, I'm afraid that I will kill more people in the future, right? Han Tong's death warned the people in the capital: the overall situation has been decided, don't add to the chaos and give your life in vain.
Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu are the three monkeys who were informed.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was still sitting in the official office in front of his palace as he worked for Chai Rong in the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the previous imperial robe had been taken off. Naturally, undressing is often done for dressing. This imperial robe was put on by the generals for him, and next, Zhao Kuangyin asked the ministers to help him put it on again.
The ministers came, and the three prime ministers took the lead: Fan Zhen panicked, Wang Pu was slightly an, and Wei Renpu was calm...... Zhao Kuangyin suddenly cried bitterly, as if he had a stomach full of reluctance, "I am favored by Chai Shizong." Now it is forced by the six armies, ashamed of heaven and earth, what will it be?"
Wang Pu secretly gave Zhao Kuangyin a big finger: Brother, admire one. Wei Renpu is rejoicing: Fortunately, my son and his daughter have a doll kiss. Fan Zhen was a little dazed. Zhao Kuangyin's scene reminded him of Guo Wei who also cried to Empress Dowager Li like this back then? These geniuses are really not ordinary people, tears come when they say it. But it was a loud shout that woke up Fan Zhen, "I have no master, and today I will win the Son of Heaven" is the commander of the army in front of the palace, Du Yu, Luo Yanhuan drew his sword and pointed directly at Fan Zhen's chest! Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly reprimanded, "Don't be rude, retreat" Luo Yanhuan did not retreat. Fan Zhen was stunned again. This scene is also very familiar: Wang Mang, Cao Pi, Sima Yan, Liu Yu, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, and even Guo Wei? But it was a plop that called Fan Zhen back. At first glance, Wang Pu had knelt down on the ground. Fan Zhen smiled bitterly: Lord Wang, you saw the opportunity quickly. Cease! I'll accompany you. Fan Zhen retreated, knelt down, and shouted three long live. Wei Renpu? Needless to say? Now, the imperial robe can be put on again.
At this time, 8-year-old Chai Zongxun had been taken out of the palace by his aunt, Empress Dowager Xiaofu. Empress Dowager Fu personally took off the yellow robe of the little emperor and herself, dressed in white, and came to Tianqing Temple. This is a classic political asylum. It also clearly conveys their attitude towards the rebellion - we have lost, and they just want not to kill us.
In the 7th year of Zhou Xiande (960), the fourth day of the first month of the first month of the month of the seventh year of Zhou Xiande (晡 is the time of Shen. 3-5 p.m. Think about how short the days are in New Year? It's almost dark), but there are some things that you have to do even if you don't have the sun and you're not in the mood! So that night, Zhao Kuangyin could only keep a helpless, innocent, and somewhat ashamed expression on his face, waiting for everyone to arrive one by one in the Chongyuan Palace, and he had to take the usurped little emperor and the queen mother from the temple back to the palace site, and all the processes should be completed tonight......
However, it is stuck, and the most important thing is missing - the edict of Zen Rang! Chinese pay attention to the right name and leave words as evidence. What's more, it is to send the huge Hou Zhou Bai out of the city? Everyone was dumbfounded. Including the omniscient and prepared director Zhao Pu. At this time, he was the most tearless on the scene. Why is there so much attention to making a rebellion? Red tape kills people! Poor me, it's also the first time I've helped people rebel...
At this time, the Hanlin scholar undertook Tao Gu to calmly "go out of the Zhou Gong Emperor's Zen position and make a book in his sleeve", so the legal procedure for making the emperor was officially launched - Xuanhui made Gao Tang Zan Jurun lead Kuang Yin to the north of Longqi to worship. The prime minister was promoted to the Chongyuan Palace, and the crown was served, that is, the emperor's throne. Congratulations to the ministers. Emperor Feng Zhou was the king of Zheng, and the Empress Dowager Fu was the empress dowager of Zhou, and moved to the West Palace. The name of the country was Song (Zhao Kuangyin was the last envoy of the Song Zhou Festival before the Chenqiao Mutiny), changed the Yuan Jianlong, and set it as Huode (Deyun was set in late March)
On the fifth day of the first month of the first year of Song Jianlong (960), Chinese history entered a new era - the Song Dynasty, which lasted for 319 years, began. The 34-year-old Zhao Kuangyin became the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
