Let's see how Song Taizu governs the world. On the 8th, the martyr Han Tong was buried, and the name of the prime minister of a Chinese book order was added. But that's just scratching the surface. The following incident can reveal Zhao Kuangyin's true attitude towards Han Tong: Zhao Kuangyin once went to Kaibao Temple, and saw the portrait of Han Tong's father and son hanging on the wall, and immediately became furious and ordered it to be destroyed immediately! Next is the main event: rewarding civil and military officials.

First of all, the military generals. On the 11th, Shi Shouxin, the third elder of the palace army, was transferred to the guard army as the second, and the vacancy left by Zhao Kuangyin was also taken over by Shi. and Gao Huaide, the fourth elder of the guards, was transferred to the palace army as the second. One of these two people should respond in the capital, and the other should take the lead outside, so there is no doubt that they are the first two heroes. Promotion! However, Zhao Kuangyin has only been the emperor for a few days, and he is already well versed in the way of the emperor who moves the tree to death, the person to live, and the emperor who will be loyal. A promotion is a promotion, but let's go to another system and start over! In addition, Zhang Lingduo was promoted from the fifth to the third in the guard army, and the vacancies left by the middle and high ranking of the guard army and Zhang Yanhui due to their promotion were taken over by Zhang Guanghan and Zhao Yanhui, two guards who had gone out of the city with him. Wang Xianqi, who was in the army in front of the palace, was promoted from the fifth to the third. On the 19th, the two important generals in the north, Zhao Kuangyin's iron buddies Murong Yanzhao and Han Lingkun, were heavily armed, and they made the greatest effort in the process of mutiny, and they were also promoted to one level, and they became the commanders of the boss of the front division of the palace and the boss of the guard department, Ma Bujun. Oh? You ask me what about Li Chongjin, the former boss of the guards? He was also promoted. What the? He's already the boss, and he can't rise again? You're wrong. His military position is at the top, don't we still have a civilian job? An unprecedented official hat was thrown out, it was the level of the prime minister, alas: Zhongshu Order! It's just that how is it the same as the dead Hantong official position? I wonder if Li Chongjin will see a black look after knowing this 'good news'?

Here we can see Zhao Kuangyin's strategy of rewarding military generals, that is, a bowl of water is level. Regardless of whether they were cronies or not, they were all promoted to the next level, and they were all happy. But below, Song Taizu is very different from the previous dynasty in rewarding civil officials.

In any case, Zhao Pu is Zhao Kuangyin's confidant, and with his two major contributions in serving Zhao Hongyin until his death and the Chen Qiao Mutiny, not to mention the privy envoy and prime minister, at least one of them, right?

I'm sorry. On the 22nd, Zhao Pu only conferred on the right counselor and the privy counselor. Those who do miscellaneous work in the Privy Council are still 108,000 miles away from the Privy Council. At that time, he was a civil official in the Zhao Kuangyin shogunate with Zhao Pu, Liu Xigu was the doctor of the left counsel, Lu Yuqing was in the middle of the matter, Duanming Hall was a bachelor, and Shen Yilun was a Hubu Langzhong. This is Zhao Kuangyin's cleverness, now they can not only directly participate in political affairs, but also make them feel that there is still a long way to climb in front of them. Ladies and gentlemen, you can level up slowly.

As for the former ministers of the former dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was much more generous. In early February, the three prime ministers, your duties are still the same, and new titles are added: Fan Zhen and the highest governor of Menxia Province, Wang Pu and Sikong, one of the three dukes, and Wei Renpu and the highest governor of Shangshu Province. It's just that Fan and Wang, please hand over your concurrent position as counselor and privy council, and Wu Tingzuo will take over the power of the privy council (from then until the reform of Song Shenzong Yuanfeng, the highest central organ of the Song Dynasty was known as the east and west governments in addition to the three envoys who controlled the national finance. The east is the province of Zhongshumen, which is in charge of national government affairs. The chief officer is the Tongping chapter under the Zhongshu Gate, and the deputy official is the governor of the government who was set up four years later. The west is the Privy Council, which is in charge of the military of the whole country, and the prefect is the Privy Council)

On the 23rd of the first month, several important envoys of the border joints were also rewarded: the old father-in-law Fu Yanqing became the Taishi, Wang Jing of Chai Rong's expedition to Shu and Shu, Gao Baorong became the Taifu, and the Dingnan Jiedu envoy (the future Xixia Kingdom) Li Yixing (whose real name was Li Yiyin, who changed his name for committing Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin) became the Taifu. On February 9, the envoy of Zhenhai Festival (Wu Yue, one of the Ten Kingdoms) Qian Yu (real name Qian Hongyue, the reason for the name change is the same) became the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

The last person is Zhao Kuangyin's third brother, the future Emperor Taizong Zhao Kuangyi. On the 24th day of the first month, he became the defense envoy of Muzhou and gave him the name Zhao Guangyi (after that, the word Kuang became taboo, and no one except Emperor Taizu could use it). Soon after, he was also named the former capital of the palace (the vacancy left by the old fifth king after the promotion of Xianqi), and began to cultivate his power in the army.

After the addition of officials to the knighthood, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to the envoys of the towns: Everyone, brothers are not talented, they have become emperors. But rest assured, the cake is so big that I can't finish it alone. Everyone has something to eat. In the future, everyone will be blessed and shared. If there is trouble, I will bear it, brother.

The first month of the founding of the Song Dynasty was spent in a period of joy. On February 5, Mrs. Du was honored as the empress dowager and received congratulations from the emperor and his ministers. However, the old queen mother frowned tightly and sullenly. That's weird. Left and right quietly asked: "Mother is more precious than child." Today's son is the son of heaven, why is the mother unhappy" Empress Dowager Du said a reason: "It's difficult to be a king!" The Son of Heaven is above Zhaoshu, and if he can be governed, then this position can be honored. If you don't control it, you can't get it. It's me who worries about it, and "Well said!" Queen Mother, your article "It is not easy to be a king and a minister", I think, can be ranked with Wang Pu's "Pingbian Strategy" champion article! Song Taizu was carefully taught.

What happened next was a small thing, but it had a huge impact. In the history of China's more than 2,000 years of struggle between power and imperial power, it is definitely a special chapter.

It is said that the prime minister before Zhao Kuangyin could sit with the monarch and discuss politics, that is, in addition to the emperor's dragon chair, there was also a special seat for the prime minister in the court. One day in February, Fan Zhen and the other three prime ministers were discussing with Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Tu said, "Aiqing, my eyesight is not very good, what is the word on your fold?" Can you give me some advice" Fan Zhen did not doubt him, so he got up and stepped forward and discussed it in front of the emperor. But when the discussion was over and they stepped back, they found that the chair they were sitting on had been removed without realizing it. Starting from this small action of Zhao Kuangyin, China's more than 1,000-year-old prime minister's sitting ceremony was abolished......

Change the dynasty, get promoted and get rich slowly. So everyone understands? The vast majority of people understand. There was only one person who was anxious, which almost destroyed the overall situation of Zhao Kuangyin's stability and unity.

One night in April, Wang Yansheng was patrolling the capital for public order. He was a little unhappy, he made so much effort to kill such an important person as Han Tong, but the emperor actually lost his temper at him, and only gave him an iron horse left carriage commander. That's it! If you can't get promoted, you have to make some money, right? But the emperor said that it is not allowed to loot in the capital! But this is not difficult for Wang Yansheng, he came to Wang Pu's door, and ordered the left and right to "go up and call the door" and hesitate left and right, "This is the home of the prime minister, "Wang" nonsense! Do you think I don't know the way? Only those who are officials are rich! If you want to get rich, you don't"" Think about it. Of course I want to "call the door left and right."

The door opened, and the butler froze. It's a group of heavily armed soldiers! Hurriedly went to report to the owner. After a while, Wang Pu ran out, looking frightened. The buttons on the clothes are not fully buttoned. In the middle of the night, what are these soldiers doing? Didn't the emperor say that the soldiers would not be allowed to loot? One look: Wang commands the envoys. This time it was even more terrifying, this is the master that even Han Tong dares to kill. Wang Yansheng "The patrol is very sleepy tonight, please drink wine at the adult's house" Wang Pu is relieved, he wants food! Isn't that easy? Hurriedly asked someone to put the wine and food on the table. But Commander Wang stopped drinking two cups, and suddenly sighed, "Lord Wang really has a prominent family background. Rich man. It's not like we have to work in the middle of the night, and we can't make any money all year round," Wang Pu understood, this is reaching out to ask for money. But pretending not to know, diverted the topic "Where, where." The general and drink two more cups" Wang Yansheng was helpless, and hinted again, "The wages of the brothers outside are also low!" For the Chinese New Year, the year-end bonus is not "Wang Pu secretly scolded" to hell. Didn't the emperor just send you money, "But how dare you offend these people"! The brothers outside also invited them in to drink two cups, "Wang Yan has been promoted, it seems that this Wang Pu is not on the road." However, Wang Pu is a high-ranking and powerful former courtier, and he is an old minister of the former dynasty that the emperor intends to encircle, so he can only push his hand, "Don't drink it!" Let's go."

As soon as the morning dawned, Wang Pu gave Zhao Kuangyin a secret fold. There's no way around it. On April 8, Wang Yansheng was released as the assassin of Tangzhou. This time, Wang Yansheng will never be able to rise.

And those who understand have an unlimited future.

Miao Xun became the director of the National Planetarium and enjoyed Qingfu; Chu Zhaofu, who is articulate and can speak, became an armory envoy. Needless to say, this is an errand with oil and water to be fished; made a decision on the spot, and Li Chuyun, who was in the middle of everything, was promoted to the guest provincial envoy and privy councillor, and the general of the right guard; Luo Yanhuan, who drew a knife to intimidate Fan Zhen, promoted the commander of the left wing of the crane, and led the Meizhou defense envoy in the back, and it was only a matter of time before he became the envoy of the festival.

All of the above are your own people. As for the new regime, Zhao Kuangyin is most concerned about the attitude of the local festival envoys towards him. The most important ones should be the following: Guo Chongwei in Zhenzhou, Sun Xingyou in Dingzhou, Li Chongjin in Yangzhou, and Yuan Yan in Shaanzhou.

The result was still very satisfactory to Zhao Kuangyin. The two states of Zhending heard of the mutiny, but there was no change. And Guo Chongwei of Zhenzhou also reported that the Khitan and Northern Han armies had fled, and you should be the emperor with peace of mind. Of course, this is very likely to be a stroke echoed by the literati of the Song Dynasty. But it shows one point: Zhenzhou is very calm, and Dingzhou is very stable.

Luzhou is very unroaded. Zhao Kuangyin never expected that the initial rebellion would come from Li Yun, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army in Luzhou, who couldn't fight with the Guo family and the Chai family.

The people of the world closed their eyes under Zhao Kuangyin's obscenity, why did Li Yun want to be the first to jump out and shout disobey? Is he a royal relative or a relative? Or was the grace of the Zhou Dynasty too heavy, so he remembered the previous dynasty? If you want to be opposed, should Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, and Fu Yanqing be opposed?

Li Chongjin, you are Chai Zongxun's cousin, why don't you call the shots for your cousin? Zhang Yongde, you are Chai Zongxun's uncle, and you don't stand up for anything? Fu Yanqing, you are Chai Zongxun's grandfather, why don't you speak out?

Li Chongjin: "I haven't figured it out yet. To oppose or not to oppose, this is a big question "Zhang Yongde" I don't have any soldiers in my hands, what to do against "Old Man Fu" My third daughter is married to Zhao Guangyi, and this throne is still done by my relatives. I have no reason to oppose it."
