Chapter 247: The dispute between the three generations of officials and the commoners
Emperor Gaozong was able to reach Hangzhou safely under the pursuit of the Jin soldiers, who was the most credit?
Yan Jin, the first Sizhou guard to report to Yangzhou City?
Is it Lu Yuan, the deputy envoy of Jianghuai Shipping, who burned the pontoon bridge of the Huai River and bought Yangzhou City a few more days to escape?
Is it An Yi at the Guazhou Ferry, with more than a thousand remnants of soldiers to repel hundreds of elite gold soldiers?
Or is it Zhu Shengfei, the new prime minister who has repeatedly replaced Gaozong and helped the emperor clean up the mess?
The above may be a private option; But the group of eunuchs beside Emperor Gaozong thought that their merits were the greatest, especially the two most favored by Gaozong - Kang Lu and Lan Si.
Of course, these two people also have experiences that they can be proud of.
Kang Lu and Lan Si were originally the capital eunuchs of King Kang's Mansion, and they entered the east to worship officials. During the Jingkang period, he followed Zhao Gou to envoy Jinying and shared hardships with his master; When Zhao Gou opened the Generalissimo's Mansion in Xiangzhou, the two served as Jiyi Writing (confidential secretaries) in the Marshal's Mansion, and thus became important people in the Marshal's Mansion; Later, with Zhao Gou's attainment, these two people also ascended to heaven with the chicken dog.
In this Yangzhou disaster, Emperor Gaozong fled in a hurry, and there were only five or six people around him, such as Kang Lu and Lan Si, which added to their political capital:ββ
This is a great achievement in times of crisis, and what credit can be compared to it?
Therefore, these palace servants and eunuchs are spoiled and coquettish, high-spirited, and treat the world as nothing
When the emperor's convoy left Zhenjiang and came to Wujiang, just out of danger. Kanglu and a group of his subordinates. Play with a bow and arrow to shoot ducks by the river.
The soldiers of the Royal Guards took a look. I was so angry that I smoked.
These eunuchs, Wang Yuan transferred the boat to you to carry the family property, but our family members were unable to cross the river, and their life and death are still unknown, but now you are happy.
After arriving in Hangzhou, Emperor Gaozong issued an edict for his own crimes and granted amnesty to the world, and he was very busy. And these eunuchs are also having fun. This time, their goal was to go to the Qiantang River to watch the tide.
But the problem arises, the bodies of these eunuchs are all ice and jade, arrogant and expensive, only Emperor Gaozong is qualified to touch and admire, how can they be blasphemed and stained by the vulgar eyes of those ordinary people in Hangzhou?
So, these noble eunuchs came up with a solution: they ordered to form a corridor with cloth and silk on the long street they passed, blocking the sight of those ordinary people in Hangzhou, so that they could set off quietly and keep their bodies and hearts clean and chaste.
As a result, on the banks of the Qiantang River. Everywhere were the tents and curtains of the eunuchs.
No one dares to care about the misdeeds of the eunuchs. There is no way to appeal. People can only grit their teeth and curse on the sidelines.
Among the many cursers, there is Miao Fu, the commander of the Royal Forest Army.
"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Book 14 contains the following statement:
The emperor is in Weiyang, and he is very useful in serving the province and taking care of the ban, and he is vain in his prestige, and the generals are sick. and fortunate to the west of Zhejiang, Wujiang, the eunuchs around the left and right to shoot ducks for fun; Compared to Hangzhou, the river watched the tide, and the officials provided the account, which covered the road. Fu and others gritted their teeth and said: "You have made the world turn upside down so far, you still dare to be yer!" β
Scolding and scolding, there is no personal conflict of interest, these righteous soldiers of the Royal Forest Army still swallowed this breath and did not have a seizure.
After all, these eunuchs are the emperor's close ministers, and they have to pay a lot of price for moving them.
Unexpectedly, these eunuchs did not restrain themselves, but followed their temperament, and then did another thing, a thing that had a huge relationship with the Imperial Forest Army.
These eunuchs asked Emperor Gaozong to promote Wang Yuan to an official and raise his salary.
"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 104 records that Wang Yuan signed the Privy Council with the envoy to the German army and the imperial envoy to control the affairs of the Privy Council, and he still controlled the capital.
This is a big mess.
The rule of the Zhao and Song court's courts has always been that the military power is divided into three parts, and each other is contained.
Specifically, the Privy Council first issued a military order, and then the three divisions of the yamen organized the troops, and finally the generals appointed by the emperor led the troops to fight.
These three links are interlinked, and no matter which part of them is missing, it is difficult to send troops to fight.
This multi-departmental management method of military power is mainly aimed at the phenomenon of repeated rebellions of military generals with heavy troops during the period of the Five Dynasties and Six Kingdoms. This is the method that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin racked his brains and discussed with Prime Minister Zhao Pu for a long time before he came up with a solution.
And this appointment of Emperor Gaozong allowed Wang Yuan to issue military orders in the capacity of a privy councilor, and then organize the troops as a jiedu envoy or a royal camp envoy, and then lead the troops to battle as the commander of the imperial camp.
In other words, Wang Yuan alone can get through all the links, without any restraint, and can lead troops to battle anytime and anywhere.
This means that Wang Yuan holds supreme military power that has never been seen in the history of the Song Dynasty.
As soon as this edict of appointment came out, Miao Fu, the commander of the imperial camp, first expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 104 records: When Ru Wenyuan entered the right mansion, Fu and Masahiko thought that they were recommended by eunuchs, and the more unjust they were.
Who is this Miao Fu, how dare he oppose his boss as a mere imperial commander?
Looking through the archives, this Miao Fu's father is the commander of Miao Xu, and his grandfather is the Hezhou Jiedu Miao Zhu, no wonder it is said in the "Renewal of Capital and Governance Tongjian" that he is "the world will have labor", it turned out to be an official of the third generation.
Let's take a look at Wang Yuan's resume: Wang Yuan was born in the Northwest Army, and like Zhang Shuye, he was promoted step by step by virtue of his military exploits, and successively served as a pioneer officer under Liu Yanqing, the commander of Xuanfu Capital, and Fan Netong, the envoy of Northern Xuanfu, and was a senior general from a civilian background.
In the History of the Song Dynasty. There is such a record in the Biography of Wang Yuan:
"King Kang is the emperor, Yuan and Yang Weizhong, Han Shizhong with Hebei soldiers, Liu Guangshi with Shaanxi soldiers, Zhang Jun, Miao Fu and others with marshal mansions and descending group robber soldiers, all in the dynasty, not unified. The Imperial Camp Division was first placed, and the Yuan was the capital control, and Hu did not release the armor for many months. β
That is to say, when Emperor Gaozong had just ascended the throne, Wang Yuan, Yang Weizhong, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Miao Fu and others came to take refuge. In the beginning, everyone was different.
Later, when the Imperial Forest Army was established, Miao Fu's subordinates were mainly descending group bandits, while Wang Yuan's subordinates were mainly Hebei Army; Whether it is the number of subordinates or the combat effectiveness, Wang Yuan is obviously stronger than Miao Fu, so Wang Yuan naturally served as the commander of the capital and became the boss of Miao Fu, that is, the boss of the Imperial Forest Army.
For such a result, as an official of the third generation, Miao Fu is of course quite disappointed.
"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 104 records: Hu Cong system, Dingzhou regiment training envoy Miao Fu, conceited that the world will have labor, with the abyss suddenly won the king, quite desirable.
Therefore, the original origin of the coup d'Γ©tat directed by Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan was actually caused by the disobedience of the children of high-ranking cadres to the management of the children of the common people...... (To be continued......)
