Ming Ho had no choice but to resort to the second move: a feint attack in the north city and a quiet tunnel in the south city, but this is not a day or two that can be effective, so there is a third move: rebellion! On the evening of the 6th, several ropes hung down from the city of Beizhou, and hundreds of forbidden troops went up along the ropes. After that, these forbidden soldiers did something immoral: they burned all the ropes in order to fight for merit. So these hundreds of people who climbed the city wall could only have one result: they were outnumbered.

In this case, the Song Dynasty had no choice but to change people, Ming Ho became his deputy, and another real big man appeared. His power should not be as great as that of Lu Yijian, and his reputation is not as high as Fan Zhongyan. But he served as prime minister three times, and the time span was half a century! This is even the founding prime minister Zhao Pu sighed to himself!

On the 8th, Wen Yanbo, the governor of the council, was appointed as the envoy of Hebei Xuanfu. Before leaving, Wen Yanbo walked around his Zhongshu Province and Xia Zhu's Privy Council, as if saying goodbye to his comrades. Intentionally or unintentionally, he and the then supreme military leader Xia Da Privy Council looked at each other for a while. As a result, Lord Xia didn't hold on, and was a little unnatural under Wen Yanbo's gentle and personal gaze: Everyone knows that Ming Hao's failure is your effort! Now it's time for me to go to the battlefield, you give me honesty in the rear!

At this time, Xia Zhu was very happy, and the luxurious life had returned. As for harming people, he is also very harmful. Ming Ho is in the present tense, and before he had harmed others, everyone knew that he had harmed others, and everyone looked at him sideways. Right! It's Shisuke! But he's even knocked down Myeongho, Shisuke, and the Gentleman's Party, so he should be satisfied, right? No! Engaging people is a long-lasting, endless enjoyment! And that's just the beginning!

Shameless to this point, generally speaking, no one dares to mess with it? But Master Wen is an exception, and his best skill is to repair villains like Xia Zhu. There is one thing to prove: that was before he entered Beijing as a governor, when he was the prefect of Chengdu in Sichuan, he was impeached by the imperial history platform. What about the crime? It was because he didn't forget to play at work, and he failed to be completely honest to the end. Speaking of work, it was a disaster year, and he used various methods. successfully controlled the price of rice, so that the land of Shuchuan, which always had accidents, was very stable. That's ability! But at the same time, he began to rejoice while he was happy. The other side appears: he's...

When the news came into the capital, Zhao Zhen was very unhappy, and sent a royal historian to quietly go to Sichuan to investigate the truth in the name of going home to visit relatives. This is a secret work, the imperial history traveled carefully, did not publicize, and went all the way to Hanzhou. Go further, and you won't be far from Wen Yanbo. At this time, it was a coincidence that Lord Yushi met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and suddenly met a fellow villager who had not seen him for a long time. In addition to being happy, drinking and chatting, eating and drinking, things changed, and as soon as a singer named Yang Tailiu appeared, Mr. Yushi, who was lonely on the journey, couldn't hold it for a while, so it was like this...

The little things? The next day, he was on the road again. Determined to catch Wen Yanbo's crooked pigtails and give the Great Song Dynasty officialdom a whole wind! Arrived in Chengdu a few days later. At the beginning, it was an official article, and the local officials gave the Imperial History Lord under the auspices of the Wen Governor's Office. Swing the banquet, Yingge Yan language. Many dancers were indispensable during the banquet. This imperial historian raised his iron face and listened and watched quietly, just waiting for a while Wen Yanbo knelt down and confessed his guilt and sincerely repented. Unexpectedly, the next moment, his face suddenly turned colorless. I almost passed out! A dancer appeared on the stage and sang a new song "The beauty of Shu has a thin waist, and the imperial history of Dongtai borrows enchantment." From now on, it is called Yangtai willow. Dancing in the east wind" was written by him to the dewy couple Yang Tailiu, this Sichuan beauty is singing in front of him at this moment!

Finished! came to rectify the wind, but was hit by a pink cannonball... What other face to say to others? He returned to Kaifeng the next day to report to the emperor "truthfully": Wen Yanbo is a good young man with good looks and a perfect talent that the empire needs most... So Wen Yanbo entered Beijing to serve as the deputy prime minister of the Empire!

And this incident is just the beginning, and similar good things can appear in the central government of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. Master Wen wants to make the enemy willingly do things for him. Remember that it is willing, and it is by no means the bad psychology of ordinary blackmailed people who grit their teeth and want to kill them quickly. That was too ugly, and the taste of the hereditary scholar made Lord Wen disdain to use it. In comparison, Xia Zhu is so blatantly bad that everyone knows it, and he really doesn't go into the stream...

It is said that after the two of them gazed cordially in the Privy Council that day, on the 16th, Wen Yanbo arrived at the battlefield. He believed that Xia Zhu should be more restrained. First, he's not Myeongho, so he's not so easy to bully. Second, Ming Ho didn't really offend Xia Zhu, but Xia Da's privy councillor didn't like him. Take advantage of the national interest to vent personal anger. Damn it! But there are so many things to do, and you have to get Beizhou City and Wang Ze done first!

The fate of people and people is so different, Ming Ho keeps trying and failing, and he has no actual merit at all, but all kinds of practical preparations are in place. Especially the tunnels in the south city, which were dug almost at the same time...

On the 1st day of the first month of the leap month, the general offensive begins! The main force stormed the northern city, and at the same time selected 200 warriors to drill into the tunnels of the southern city. Wang Ze and others were in full swing in the northern city, and the southern city suddenly fell, and the officers and soldiers poured in like a tide... If you want to say that the king is different, in this case he came up with a strange trick: gather all the cattle in the city, and the bulls rush to the south and stand in rows. Then pour oil on the cow, then light the fire, and release! That's right! This is the legendary Warring States Tian Dan Qi's Fire Bull Array!

The solution is a good way, but unfortunately the times have changed, and you still want to use the things of more than 1,000 years ago to deceive people? A Song soldier named Yang Sui raised his javelin high and threw it at the large herd of fire oxen! Bull's nose in the middle. Suddenly there was chaos, and the herd turned around and rushed towards Wang Ze... The Buddhist rebels died in this way on the bodies of a herd of cattle. The rebellion lasted 66 days and was finally put down. Wang became Wang Xin's prisoner from the king of Dongping County.

On the 2nd, Wen Yanbo sent Li Jihe back to the dynasty to report the victory, and at the same time requested that Wang Ze's head be beheaded in Beizhou City, if the capital was transported according to the rules, the entire Hebei Road would be almost full of his believers, and the risk on the road was too great. But there was still opposition in the capital: the privy envoy Xia Zhu. It's still him! It can't be helped, it's the nature of the villain.

On the 9th, Wen Yanbo was promoted to the prime minister of the empire and became the leader of the courtiers.

The next thing that happened was the most secretive in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is said that Li Yuanhao is dead, Beizhou is pacified, Zhao Zhen is very happy, the 15th day of the first month of the leap month, this is also the Lantern Festival? The emperor wanted to celebrate the fifteenth Lantern Festival twice a year, but was disturbed by his Empress Cao. The queen seems to have some premonition, and she doesn't want the excessive prosperity and chaos in the capital at this time...

Sure enough, 7 days later, the only palace assassination in Song history occurred.

In the official history, this matter is very simple. On the evening of the 22nd, four people from the Chongzheng Palace, including Yanxiu, Guo Kui, Wang Sheng, and Sun Li, suddenly rioted without any warning. They crossed the palace walls. Straight into the inner courtyard of the emperor's bedroom, when he was about to reach the gate, he encountered obstacles. The people who stood in the way were palace maids and eunuchs... The four men immediately went on a killing spree and drew their knives to cut people. Note: The 4 warriors, holding sharp blades in their hands, actually failed to hack people to death, but only "injured the arms of the insiders". They found that they couldn't rush into the inner sanctum!

Entering the inner sanctum, an extraordinary lady appeared extraordinary for the first time. Empress Cao, the granddaughter of Cao Bin, the first general, stood up.

This is Emperor Renzong's dormitory, and most of the time, she is not here. As a queen. She has her own place to live, and tonight she is. She heard the noise outside for the first time, and unlike other people in the palace, she immediately sensed the danger of the matter. The first thing she did was to hug her emperor husband tightly, not letting him go out of the palace to check, and then ordered the door of the palace to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and at the same time asked the attendants to shout loudly that Ouchi knew that Wang Shouzhong sent troops to escort him!

Outside the palace gate, there was the mournful cry of the palace maids, and the eunuchs in the hall were at a loss. They and the emperor himself were peaceful children who grew up in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, and although they knew that there was such a thing as murder in the world, no one had witnessed it with their own eyes. A eunuch named He Chengyong actually said: Don't be afraid, this is the nurse beating the little girl...

Empress Cao scolded sharply - the thief killed people outside the palace. Do you still dare to talk nonsense? Then she made two decisive instructions to let the emperor survive the most dangerous period of the night: 1. Go and fetch water immediately, and beware of thieves setting fire to the palace. 2Come, all of you, and I will cut your hair with my own hands. Tomorrow's reward, as proof!

Very wise, a moment later. Outside the palace gate, there were fires, and the palace maids and eunuchs all did their best, until the guards arrived...

Historical records: 3 of the 4 rebels were killed on the spot, Wang Sheng fled to the north tower of the palace, hid for a whole day, and was finally searched out, and was dismembered on the spot...

At the end of the line is the annotation - I don't know what he was planning to do. No one knows who instigated this and who initiated it!

There are too many incredible things, first of all, you said that 4 people can suddenly attack, and cross the palace wall and kill in front of the emperor's bedroom? That's a bit too strong, and I'd love to ask you to bring three of you to try it, but of course I'm not going to pay for your life or death.

Second, you have been lurking in front of the emperor's dormitory, even killing people and setting fires, and have a full set of robbery drills, how much time does it take? The guards arrived after they were done, why are they so slow?

Third, Wang Sheng, who escaped from the city, is the last clue in the whole case, for a whole day, I believe that the relevant departments have already issued a living order, but he was actually dismembered by a knife? All indications show that someone is deliberately making this matter a dead case, and there is no way to trace it!

So who is this man? In addition, whether to track it down again, and how?

Regarding this person, I agree with the conclusion made by Brother Gao Tianliuyun in his book: the assassination of Emperor Renzong was planned by Song Renzong Zhao Zhen himself! Wang Sheng was also killed by the emperor's order! The evidence is coming slowly. Let's take a look at the second one: whether to track it down, and how to track it down?

This seems to be a joke, such a big case, the only major case of the assassination of the emperor at close range in the 319 years of the Two Song Dynasty, can it not be pursued? The answer is yes! The privy envoy Xia Zhu stood up, "Don't breed vines and make the opponents uneasy", that is: don't make things bigger, let those who have ghosts in their hearts be stimulated?

Is this a bit of a joke? I actually have to take care of the emotions of the rebels, for fear that they will be in a hurry! That is, to keep them until the emperor is successfully killed?

Ding Du, the governor of the political affairs, was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, and said 16 words, "There is a change in the guard, it is a matter of social welfare, and it is tolerable, which is unbearable", it should be said that it is very correct, the emperor's life safety is above all else, this is the most basic criterion!

But it's such a wonderful, such a simple truth, he and Xia Zhu argued from early morning until noon, and the result was that he failed!

Because the emperor approved of Xia Zhu, the case was handled on a small scale, and the imperial servants and eunuchs were fully responsible. In other words, all the courtiers outside the palace have neither the right to participate nor the right to speak, and can only know an answer given by the official. This made the entire officialdom collectively depressed, especially the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Zhiyuan, how could they not figure it out, why would the emperor agree to Xia Zhu? Does he like to be assassinated, or is there something else?

On the premise that all clues are cut off, the conclusion can only be that everyone is guilty. The list of personnel of the Imperial City Division is the list of those who have failed in their duties, and they have all been exiled. At this time, the problem focused on one person: Yang Jingzong, the leader of the guards that night. It is said that this is the direct dereliction of duty in this case and should be dealt with severely, but the emperor could not bear it. Because he was the brother of Zhao Zhen's adoptive mother, Concubine Yang.

So in order to save Yang Jingzong and the great eunuch Yang Huaimin, the emperor personally went into battle and came to the PK with all the personnel of the Yushitai. Zhao Zhen seems to be a masochist, just to show a smile to the person who assassinated him? The conversation between him and the Imperial Historian He Tan is very interesting and makes people think about it.

He Tan quoted the scriptures, and the opening was how the ancient sage kings were, and the theory said a lot, and the emperor only replied to him, "In ancient times, the officials kowtowed and broke their heads, can you" This is a bit nonsensical, it is obvious that the emperor is interrupting. And He Tan's answer is even more interesting: he said that in ancient times, it was because there was a faint king, and now I am knocking, so what are you? So I don't knock. You have to understand, whether I stumble or not, it's for your own good...

That was the end of the conversation. Funny answers can only have funny results. On the 25th, under the protection of Xia Zhu and the emperor, Yang Huaimin was not guilty, Yang Jingzong and other 5 people were released as officials, and the punishment action was over. At the same time, this only palace assassination case in the history of the Song Dynasty also came to an end.

That's the official record of the incident. We can see that the victim, Emperor Renzong, did not show even the slightest anger, panic, and pursuit attitude, but kept covering it, as if he was afraid that something would be seen. What is he afraid of?

Then I have to say one more thing: that night, who is most credited?

A woman surnamed Zhang in the palace stepped up to the front desk again. Zhang Meiren is Emperor Renzong's second love interest, far before Empress Guo, Shang Meiren, Yang Meiren, Chen Meiren, and Empress Cao. Back then, Zhao Zhen was in love with Zhang Meiren, and he wanted to make her the queen. But Empress Dowager Liu disagreed. Under Liu E's arrangement, Empress Guo was able to successfully ascend to the throne. But in fact, Zhang Meiren has been influencing the situation in the Song Dynasty. (To be continued......)
