Chen Qian dedicates the soil
The advantages of the rule of the literati were quickly manifested. Zhao Guangyi did 2 things.
On August 10, 977, the administrative power of all states and counties in the country was completely transferred to the central government. Since then, the festival has become a complete honorary title. Taiping rejuvenated the country, and the whole country was 'prosperous'.
Quickly straighten out the currency and regulate the financial market. Before the Tianyou period of the Tang Dynasty, the meaning of each hundred coins was 100 copper coins, and it was two pounds and two, and the children were not bullied. But after God blessed, the war continued, and there were only 85 copper coins per 100 coins. The number was reduced to 80 in the Tiancheng period of the Later Tang Dynasty, and to 77 in the Qianyou period of the Later Han Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin stipulated that every 100 coins rose to between 80-85 copper coins. But these are all official figures. Leaving aside the quality of the copper coins. In terms of quantity, the "History of the Song Dynasty" also openly admits that "the states are used for private purposes, and they all follow the customs", and the most exaggerated is that only 48 copper coins are used as 100 coins. On September 9, Zhao Guangyi stipulated that 77 copper coins should be used as 100 coins, and the weight of each thousand coins must reach more than 4 and a half catties. Since then, a rigid benchmark has been set in terms of the quantity and quality of copper coins, so that the copper coins minted by the Great Song Dynasty have quickly become the strongest hard currency in East Asia.
At this time, looking at the map of the whole country, there are two regimes in the north that will not surrender to the Northern Han Dynasty, and in the south there are two regimes that are under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, but are actually semi-independent: Qian Yu's Wu Yue State and Chen Hongjin's Zhangquan 2 Prefectures.
Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed the sequelae left by the Fujian State in 945: at that time, he stayed in the two states of Zhang, Quan, and declared himself a vassal to the Southern Tang Dynasty. In March 962, he died and was succeeded by his nephew Liushao. However, Chen Hongjin was framed for fornicating with Wu Yue, so Liu Shaojun was escorted to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Chen Hongjin supported Zhang Hansi to become the master of Zhangquan 2 states. In April 963, Chen Hongjin locked Zhang Hansi in his own Zhang Mansion and forced him to hand over the Jiedu envoy Yinxin, so Chen Hongjin officially became the new master of the two states of Zhang and Quan.
On April 25, the 3rd year of Taiping Xingguo (978), Chen Hongjin, the envoy of Pinghai Jiedu, listened to the words of his staff Liu Chang and took the initiative to surrender thousands of miles. With all the family members and the household registration books of 151987 households in 14 counties of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, he went to Kaifeng City to ask Zhao Guangyi for a house for the elderly. The history is called "Chen Hongjin's dedication to soil"
Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed. On the 29th, Chen Hongjin was appointed as the envoy of the Wuning Festival and the Tongping Chapter. He also appointed his eldest son Chen Wenxian as the training envoy of the Tongzhou regiment, and still went back to Quanzhou. The youngest son, Chen Wenyi, was the assassin of Chuzhou and went to manage Zhangzhou.
In September 893, Qian Miao, who had suppressed the Dongchang Rebellion, was appointed as the envoy of Zhenhai by Tang Zhaozong. In May 902, he became the king of Jueyue. In April 904, Qian Miao asked the imperial court for the title of King of Wu Yue, but Tang Zhaozong refused to allow it, and later changed the title of King Wu under the arrangement of Zhu Wen. In May 907, Qian Miao was named King of Wuyue by Zhu Wen, the Taizu of Later Liang. Although he seized the land of Zhejiang in the southeast and southeast, Qian Miao respected his ministers no matter how the Central Plains Dynasty changed dynasties. In March 932, Qian Miao died, leaving his descendants with the legacy of 'Good Deeds in the Central Plains'. His son Qian Yuanqian succeeded to the throne, and Wu Yue's national power continued to develop, but Qian Yuanqian lived a luxurious life and spent an astonishing amount of money on building the palace. In July 941, a fire burned almost all of the palace he had run all his life to the ground. One month later, Qian Yuanjun, who was insane due to the fire, died of illness and was succeeded by his son Qian Hongzuo. During his reign, he was just in time for the Southern Tang Dynasty to destroy Fujian, and the Min general Li Renda surrendered and rebelled, asking Wu Yue for help. Qian Hongzuo tried his best to overcome public opinion, rushed to the rescue by land and water, defeated the Southern Tang Army in one fell swoop, and took Fuzhou into his arms. In June 947, Qian Hongzuo died, and his younger brother Qian Hongzuo succeeded to the throne. Rigid and strict, angry Qian Hongzuo Rong raised the generals, the government is not his own, and the old general Liwei, but the veteran Hu Sijin started to be strong, and in December, Qian Hongyu was abolished, and his brother Qian Hongyu was set up as the king. Because of avoiding Zhao Hongyin's secrets, he changed his name to Qian Yu.
Qian Yu, who has been the king of Wuyue for 30 years, has long realized that the unification of the world is imperative. Qian Yu lamented: Who let himself be moved by Zhao Kuangyin and took the initiative to say that he would enter the court every 3 years? It's been 3 years since the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, and I can't hide anymore. Of course, you can also ask for leave and pretend to be sick, there are many ways. But if that's the case, what's the difference with Li Yu at the beginning? Don't forget what Li Yu is charged with! Stubborn...
Get! Let's hit the road... Qian Yu once again walked thousands of miles into Kaifeng City. On March 25, he met the new emperor in the Chongde Palace. Zhao Guangyi received a grand reception and expressed regret at the same time. Three years ago, the reception was presided over by Zhao Dezhao and the banquet was held by Zhao Defang. Old money! We didn't have a chance to talk more. Now seize this opportunity, we need to get close. It's easy for you to come all the way, but you can stay a little longer... As a result, Qian Yu's good days in Kaifeng City were extended indefinitely. So long that he asked for his resignation more than 30 times in a row, but Zhao Guangyi did not agree to let him go back to Hangzhou.
The people of Hangzhou raised a climax of building towers for Qian Yu in the local area. The names range from "Baochu" to "Sakuta" and "Living Chai", and they pray that their king will return home safely. I believe that the Buddha will always have mercy.
In this way, Wu Yue people have become the most special group of people in Kaifeng City. They dress and eat all day long, singing, dancing and feasting, and are extremely noble. But his face was sad, and the clouds were bleak. What to do?
The solution didn't come, but the disaster star came. On April 25, Chen Hong came in Kaifeng to offer soil. The whole city of Kaifeng celebrates. It is said that someone also set off several cannon battles outside the gate of the Wuyue Hall, which shocked Qian Yu to the point of being colorless. But just like that, Qian Yu was still unwilling. His subordinates are even more unwilling to surrender with "3,000 miles of splendid rivers and mountains, 110,000 elite soldiers with armor" just like this? Fortunately, Qian Yu has a sober-minded minister, Cui Renji, "The imperial court can know what it means." The king is not fast, and the disaster is coming" Qian Yu still hesitated. He already understood the truth. It's just that when it comes to the end, I'm still reluctant... And the other ministers around him are still babbling about it. Cui Renji sighed, "Everyone, do any of you have wings?" No one knew what he was talking about. Cui Renji sighed, "If you don't have wings, how can we fly back to Hangzhou?"
Qian Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. At the end of the day, it will be impossible to escape that day, so on! On May 1, Qian Yu gave the household registration of 550608 households in 13 prefectures and 1 army in Wuyue and a total of 86 counties. 2 days later, he changed back to a Huaihai King hat, and gave his son Qian Weijun, Qian Weizhi, and grandson Qian Chengyou 3 honorary titles of Huainan Jiedu Envoy, Zhenguo Jiedu Envoy, and Taining Jiedu Envoy. And Cui Renji, who took the initiative to do ideological work for Qian Yu, was also rewarded as an official of the deputy envoy of Huainan Jiedu. The history is called "Qian Li's dedication to soil"
At this point, South China was finally completely incorporated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Guangyi only became emperor for two and a half years, and without using a single soldier or a half-word forced edict, he let Qian Yu and Chen Hongjin take the initiative to surrender and donate their land. Of course, this is also the foundation laid by Zhao Kuangyin before. But it is undeniable that Zhao Guangyi took over the empire smoothly and quickly got on the right track, making the country more prosperous and powerful, so that foreign countries had to obey and surrender!
We should be grateful to Qian Yu (including Cao Bin before) for saving Jiangnan a life-destroying military disaster. When the catastrophe came 150 years later, the land south of the Yangtze River based on Wu Yue and the Southern Tang Dynasty could once again support the broken half of the country for Zhao Guangyi's only bloodline, Zhao Gou. And the officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties did not treat this Qian king who "the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light". In a special cultural way to express their gratitude. "Hundred Family Names" was written in the Northern Song Dynasty, and together with the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", it is called "Three Hundred Thousand", which has become a children's enlightenment book since the Song and Yuan dynasties and has been passed down to this day. "Bai" is just a simple list of some surnames, and his arrangement is based on being catchy as the standard, but the surname 'Zhao Qian Sun Li' in the opening 4 has a special significance. Zhao was the surname of the Great Song Dynasty at that time, and it should be ranked first. The surname Qian is the surname of Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, the surname Sun is the surname of Qian Yu, and the surname Li is the surname of Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty celebrated with the whole country. But at this time in Kaifeng City, there was a place where the lights were miserable and the voices of people were quiet. Everyone rejoiced and he was unhappy, and the whole country celebrated alone. The genius who has been one of the few in China for 5,000 years, his bad luck is coming...
Li Yu, the prince of Longxi County, has been "living" in Kaifeng for more than 2 years. "History of the Song Dynasty" clearly reads "Li Yu, the general of the Right Thousand Niu Guard, said that he was poor and gave him three million in money", and many people looked at Li Yu sideways. What the? Think it's still such a waste in your Jinling Palace? What's more, the benevolent Cao Bin once allowed you to carry your treasures to Kaifeng to live a rich life at will, could it be all lost in one or two years?
Recalling that in the first month of 977, Jia Huangzhong found 'the relics of the Li family's palace in the inner treasury of the palace, and Zhao Guangyi used the money to distribute 200,000 yuan per person to his first protégé of the Son of Heaven. Poor Li Yu, I don't know who cheated the money, and I don't even know where the money went.
What money means to life, Li Yu finally knows it.
This is the torture of material life to Li Yu, and in the spiritual world, Li Yu is also tortured. When he first arrived in Kaifeng, Zhao Kuangyin often invited him to drink and eat, and discussed literary issues at the dinner table. This made him feel very uncomfortable. Talking about literature? It's obviously fun for him! But after 10 months, he understood how tolerant Zhao Kuangyin was with him. Because of the big slut Zhao Guangyi, he suddenly became the emperor.
Zhao Guangyi gave Li Yu 3 million copper coins, and took away his dignity and his woman. The approach is above board. The ministers had to make a daily pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, and the women who had an edict also regularly entered the palace to worship the queen. Mrs. Li Yu was later named Mrs. Zheng Guo after Xiao Zhou, and she had to enter the palace every month, and she had to stay for many days each time before she could return. As for what happened...
Li Yu was angry, but he could only pick up the pen and transform the endless pain in his heart into words and tears. And so he became famous...
The country is unfortunate and the poet is lucky, and the words are the beginning of the vicissitudes of life. In just two years, Li Yu quickly pushed the folk minor tune of "words" to an unprecedented height. It's no longer a disease-free moaning like the wind and the moon, and it's not a flower-seeking willow like a son of Wuling. No matter how later generations belittle him as the king of the fallen country, they have to admit it - "the words come to the queen of Li and his vision is wide, and his feelings are deep"
In Li Yu's sad and lonely days, three deceased people came to visit him. The first to come was a fisherman: "You... Do you still know me" Li Yu was shocked, it was actually his native voice in Jinling. The fisherman looked up. After a long time, Li Yu remembered that this was the son of one of his ministers, named Zheng Wenbao. Zheng Wenbao's thousands of words were condensed into one sentence: "You should be cautious and cherish the tolerance of the emperor of the Song Dynasty to you." Don't think about it," Li Yu nodded frequently. He may not know the Tao, but the words and sentences he wrote in the past two years have long been known all over the world.
Zheng Wenbao is gone, and Zhang Xun is here. Li Yu never expected that Zhang Xun would no longer be the prime minister he used to be. He came to pump the abundance! Li Yu didn't want to say anything more, there was nothing of value left at home, only a basin made of platinum. He casually threw it to Zhang Xun and made this person disappear immediately!
The third person is Seo Hyun. When the two met, Li Yu couldn't control his emotions anymore, and suddenly cried out loud - regret that he shouldn't have killed Pan You and Li Ping in the first place! Li Yu was once again immersed in his emotions. With tears in his eyes, he didn't see any difference between Xu Xuan at this time and before. Xu Xuan didn't speak, he quickly said goodbye, and then went directly into the palace to resume his life, repeating every word Li Yu said just now. But history can testify: he really doesn't know what the big slut is going to do next!
July 7, 978, the night of Tanabata. Li Yu's 41st birthday. On this night, many people, most of them women, walked from all corners of Kaifeng City to Li Yu's home. This day is sacred to them. Because they want to celebrate Li Yu's birthday!
The door was shut. Outside the door is still the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and inside the door seems to be Jinling 3 years ago... Everyone was laughing, and they sang and danced for Li Yu as they did back then, enjoying a moment of entertainment. This night, Li Yu's mind flew over, crossed mountains and rivers, and returned to his hometown Jiangnan, his former homeland. The hatred of losing the country and the wounds of life have never been so clear as tonight. Some words and phrases seem to come from outside the sky, and after thousands of years of countless literati chanting and discernment, they can't delete a single word from them. Because it is the voice of fate that completely belongs to Li Yu - when is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past? Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight. The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. How much sorrow can you have, just like a river flowing eastward...
The song floated out of the door, out of the wall, and into the Great Song Palace. There is only one explanation for such a singing voice in the hearts of the big sluts - Li Yu wants to take advantage of the east wind, shun the spring water, and return to Jinling to rebel!
So, before the singing stopped, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, brought the congratulations of the imperial brother and a glass of wine... Li Yu died in severe pain. The death was terrible, and the severe abdominal pain made his body bend, and his head involuntarily touched the tips of his toes. This is the "pull poison"
For Li Yu, it is most appropriate to use his own desperate words to hang "The rain is murmuring outside the curtain, and the spring is beautiful." Luo Ji is not tolerant of the five colds. In my dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for joy. Alone, no railing, infinite rivers and mountains. Sometimes it's easier to see, sometimes it's harder. The flowing water falls and the flowers are gone, and the heavens and the earth are finally liberated! After the Lord Congjia, go well! Don't fall into the world again!
Li Yu died. Zhao Guangyi didn't even frown when he heard the return, but issued an order to posthumously crown him as the king of Wu and bury him in Beibi Mountain. At this time, Zhao Guangyi was thinking about a big event, and his eyes silently turned to the north, which filled him with longing - Northern Han!
First of all, it's the last domino. Just add it and you're perfect. Secondly, this enemy is really strong, no matter what kind of blows it has passed, it has never fallen. Whether it is Chai Rong or Zhao Kuangyin, the two strongest people in this era have been conquered in person, and the Northern Han Dynasty has not fallen. What about me? Zhao Guangyi couldn't contain his excitement anymore...
