The two-day chapter of the Chenqiao Mutiny
On the third day of the first month of the 7th year of Xiande (960), Zhao Kuangyin led a large army out of Kaifeng from Aijingmen to resist the nihilistic invaders.
The sun rose on this day. Under the direction of a warlock named Miao Xun, the sun on this day will become the most magical sun in Chinese history.
The army was marching, but Miao Xun suddenly stopped leaving. He began to look up at the sky and was in a daze for a long time. Of course, one person can't do anything in a daze, and immediately another person also came up, raised his head, and started to be in a daze......
This person's name is Chu Zhaofu, "Daxian, what are you doing in a daze" Miao Xun looked at it and answered. Finger lightly with your hand. With this finger, the dominoes of the Chen Qiao mutiny began to activate: "Look, what's in the sky" Chu "Sun" Miao frowned "Look again, what is "Chu" on the sun There is a cloud "Miao nodded" What about the above "Chu" on the cloud" Miao "is gone" Miao pretended to be very surprised, "Don't you see?" Is there still a sun "Chu" on the clouds? Don't say it, there is really a sun, "Miao Xun is proud" Zhilu said, what is this called? There is a day after day, and the black light is "Chu" for a long time...... Is there any meaning?" Miao Xun said loudly, "This is the destiny of heaven!" It means that the world is about to change masters."
"Ahh I saw it," Chu Zhaofu instantly burst into passionate cheers, "Everyone, come and see!" Two suns, the spectacle of 'one day and one day'"
As a result, all eyes were fixed on the sun on the third day of the first lunar month in 960... Maybe the sun was very depressed that day. For many years, there have never been so many pairs of eyes staring at it without blinking. So soon, it made countless suns burst out of everyone's eyes... The soldiers really believed the words of Miao Shenxian and Mr. Chu.
In fact, the phenomenon of two suns exists in astronomy, but it is only an atmospheric optical phenomenon. As recently as December 10, 2012, when I first started writing this book, I appeared in Shanghai. The specific cause of this is the refraction of light in the atmosphere. But this phenomenon is not common. can only say that Miao Xun, no, it should be Zhao Kuangyin, this guy really has shit luck. On this very day, in North China, there was such a spectacle. Could it be true that there is a destiny?
Anyway, Miao Xun and Chu Zhaofu have completed their tasks. That night, the army came to Chenqiaoyi, 40 miles northeast of Kaifeng, to camp and rest. Chen Qiao is destined to go down in history with Zhao Kuangyin.
After dinner, the big drama was staged. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin had drunk himself like mud, and he didn't see anyone, so he went to bed directly. And the supporting actors officially started.
The news of the heavenly revelations of the day spread among the army, and the generals gathered together to discuss: The Lord is young. Today we are doing our best to break the thieves for the country. But who knows what to do? It is better to set up a spot inspection for the Son of Heaven first, and then it is not too late to march north.
Li Chuyun conveyed the opinions of the generals to Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi immediately found Zhao Pu together with Li Chuyun, and the generals followed. Now that the personnel are all together, hurry up and put on the royal robe for the boss, right?
However, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu persuaded everyone to "Taiwei (Zhao Kuangyin) is loyal to the red, and he will not listen to you" Everyone was confused. Wasn't this something that had been discussed a long time ago? Why did this become Taiwei Zhongchi again? Everyone retreated in disbelief. Gao Huaide was particularly puzzled and walked in the back. As soon as he came out, he was stopped by a person. Li Chuyun stepped forward and whispered to him, "Three pushes", Gao Huaide was puzzled. What? Li Chuyun was helpless, so he had to whisper again, "This is the etiquette of the first Zhou" Gao Huaide's brows locked tighter. I can't do all the etiquette and righteousness this week, and I still have a first week, don't you embarrass me? Li Chuyun was convinced. This will be the door behind the culture is really owed! It seems that it is useless to count the scriptures and discuss history. Let's say "Let's say I'm going to give you a beautiful woman." Will you say yes right away? Will you push it back?" Gao Huaide understood now, "I said this earlier." I knew that "After a while, Gao Huaide led the generals to come again." And this time it was more urgent than last time, and someone actually showed the blade, "The matter has come to this point, if the captain refuses, we will all become thieves." Tomorrow will suffer from it" Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu looked at it, there were movements, props, and lines, and everyone performed in place. Now it's time for our line "Strategy, big things." How can it be done with such arrogance? Now that the foreign invaders are pressuring the realm, it is better to set up a map after retreating from the enemy" Gao Huaide shouted, "No! If you wait for the enemy to retreat, you don't know what will happen. I think it's better to go back to Beijing first and set up a lieutenant. If you go out to the north again, it will not be difficult to break the thief. If the lieutenant is stubborn, it will be difficult for the Sixth Army to take a step forward" Gao Huaide became smart and pushed it in time.
When the heat is up, it will backfire if you put it on again. Zhao Guangyi appeared on the stage and said the first line: "King Xing has a different surname, although the cloud is destiny, it is really the hearts of the people." Thou shalt punish the sergeants severely, and thou shalt not order plunder. The people of the capital are at peace, and the Quartet will determine themselves. Thou shalt also share the wealth and prosperity," the generals understood. It seems that it is impossible to take advantage of this opportunity to make a windfall. But that's okay. When the eldest brother became the emperor, there were many opportunities to make a fortune. Everyone raised their hands and swore that they would never kill people and set fire to Bianliang, and we would not move a stitch from the masses.
Notice how benevolent and immaculate these words are. This was supposed to come from the mouth of the protagonist of the day, the future ruler of the empire. But according to historical records, these words were spoken by his younger brother before Zhao Kuangyin's mouth.
Then the specific rebellion work process began: Guo Yanyun, the envoy of the ya, was sent to return to Kaifeng overnight, and told Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi that everything was going well, and he would return to the city tomorrow according to the plan.
History said that Zhao Kuangyin was arranged in this way, and was forced by his cronies and younger brother to embark on the road of becoming a soldier and becoming a country, and the country was a long emperor.
In the early morning of the fourth day of the first month of the 7th year of Zhou Xiande (960), our protagonist Zhao Kuangyin was still hangover and did not wake up. It's time to wake up! Today is the busiest day of your life.
The generals broke into the door and shouted loudly, "All the generals have no masters, may the captain be the Son of Heaven" Zhao Kuangyin woke up, and the history said that Taizu was shocked and put on his clothes. What a shocking word, Zhao Kuangyin didn't know anything about it, and he jumped on the paper in a panic. But the clothes next to the bed are no longer suitable, everyone has prepared new clothes for you, and go to try them on, does it fit?
But after a while, Zhao Kuangyin was forced by the generals to change into a brand-new yellow robe, and it was really seamless. Yellow, however, was the exclusive color of the royal family in feudal times. The reason why Guo Wei's army was able to have a yellow flag back then was because he nominally went out on behalf of the Son of Heaven. However, in order to pursue the perfection of visual effects and Zhao Kuangyin's shining appearance in front of the whole army, director Zhao Puda had to wear a regular yellow robe, which caused a hard injury. As later generations said, "The yellow robe is not an ordinary thing, who believes in the army and occasionally gets it"
Everyone gathered around Zhao Kuangyin, who was wearing imperial robes, and the soldiers who had already lined up outside applauded and cheered. In a warm and harmonious atmosphere, Zhao Kuangyin got on the horse. He no longer wants to go north, but to return south to Kaifeng.
However, at this time, the most classic and controversial scene appeared. Someone dared to suddenly stop in front of Zhao Kuangyin's horse, and stopped the brigade of people who were about to march quickly! Zhao Kuangyi's 'shining' appearance in the Chenqiao Mutiny. Everyone heard what he said to his second brother, "Please take plagiarism as a warning"
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized that he almost forgot about the big thing. Immediately stop the three armies, "You are greedy for wealth and make me the Son of Heaven." I have an order, and you can wait for it" to answer in unison with only two words: "only fate"
Zhao Kuangyin ordered, "The Queen Mother, I have been in the north." The ministers of the court are all comparable to me. You must not be alarmed by the palace and invade the nobles. The most important thing: no robberies after entering the city! If you obey the order, you will be rewarded after the deed! Otherwise, punish his whole family" This time the answer is simpler, one word - no!
The above scenes come from Li Tao's "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian". "Long Edition" also originated from the "National History" of the Taizu Dynasty compiled by Zhao Guangyi's son Zhao Hengshi. "History of the Country" is from "Taizu Record"... And the "Actual Record", the Song Dynasty has been rebuilt many times, there are "Old Records" and "New Records". Zhao Guangyi changed it twice when he was in power, and Zhao Hengshi changed it again. Just this time, the old man of the Taizu Dynasty died to death, and he was old, and there was no more physical evidence. Only then did we supplement and improve what we have read now...... Especially the scene where Zhao Kuangyi stopped in front of his brother Ma and said the key sentence - it seems that without this sentence, Zhao Kuangyin would have plundered the army and turned the Song Dynasty into six generations after the fifth dynasty...... It is this sentence of 'no robbing houses' that completely demarcates his Great Song Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, but whose original intention does this sentence come from?
