After Zhao Huan retired from the Jin army in Bianjing, he deceived his father back, and hurriedly appointed his eldest son Zhao Chen, who was less than ten years old, as the crown prince. Subsequently, Zhao Huan replaced all the guards around Zhao Ji with his own henchmen, and put him under his close surveillance.

And Zhao Huan's series of actions made the old emperor Zhao Ji feel deeply uneasy, he was worried that Zhao Huan would act unfavorably towards him, and began to make a move to contact the old ministers. But now there is no trustworthy person by his side, the letters have been intercepted, and every move has been reported to Zhao Huan, which cannot but arouse his vigilance.

After Zhao Huan convened several close ministers to discuss, he decided on a plan to "cut down the big tree first, cut off the side branches first". Some time ago, Taiwan officials continued to write letters to impeach Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other big traitors for the serious crimes of harming the country and the people, and Zhao Huan has taken advantage of the situation to demote all of them to official positions and exile. But now Daddy still misses them, and for the throne under his ass, he can only borrow their heads first.

At this time, some people happened to discuss the matter of Chen Dong leading the crowd to write to the emperor, saying that those who had damaged the emperor's majesty could not be let go, and he should be severely punished. At that time, there was a lot of trouble in this matter, and Zhao Huan was also apprehensive, so he asked the ministers to discuss how to deal with Chen Dong.

However, it was not so easy to punish Chen Dong, and later someone suggested that it was better to give Chen Dong an official first to win people's hearts. After a while, I will find a mistake with him and deal with him severely. Zhao Huan then appointed Chen Dong as a junior official and gave him the same Jinshi background, but Chen Dong hid in the palace of King Yan in the river and did not accept his resignation. This made Zhao Huan very hurt, and he rewarded him for his official work. He would rather be a staff member in King Yan's mansion than be his official, but at this time, he can only write it down.

However, the emperor's edict to recall Chen Dong gave a clear signal to the ministers of the court. So the wave of rape that had just cooled down set off a climax. The ministers of the imperial court and the imperial historians severely impeached Cai Jing and his son, Tong Guan, Zhu Mian and his son, and others. In the next two months, Zhao Huan took advantage of the situation to demote several of Zhao Ji's favorite ministers and traitors again and again, until they were killed.

Cai Jing first depreciated Hengzhou, then Shaozhou, and then Danzhou, and along the way, he couldn't buy food with money, and he was so poor that he had money left, and he died of illness when he arrived in Tanzhou. No one collected the body for several days. Cai Jing's son Cai You first degraded Yongzhou, then Xunzhou, and then Leizhou, and then Zhao Huan ordered him to be killed together with his younger brother Cai Cheng. Twenty-three of Cai Jing's descendants were exiled to remote places, and they were not allowed to be released in case of amnesty.

Tong Guan first degraded Chenzhou, then degraded Yingzhou, and then degraded Jiyang Army, and before he reached the place of exile, Zhao Huan issued an edict to count his ten major crimes. Ordered someone to chase him to behead him on the way, put his head in a wooden box, and send him back to Beijing to hang his head in public. Zhu Mian was first in custody in Hengzhou, and then moved to Shaozhou. Then degraded to the state, and then given death. Gao Yu had died of illness at this time, just chasing the official. Kind of escaped a knife.

Zhao Liangsi was originally dismissed because of his opposition to the imperial court's acceptance of Zhang Jue, and he was cut to the fifth rank and degraded Liuzhou. After the Jin State betrayed the alliance and invaded the Song Dynasty. The impeachment of the imperial historian Hu Shunzhi caused border troubles and ruined the century-old friendship with the Khitan. caused the Jin people to invade and bully, causing disaster to the Central Plains, and requesting that he be beheaded for public display. At that time, he had been exiled to Chenzhou, and Zhao Huan ordered Li Shengzhi, the deputy envoy of Guangxi Transport, to cut off his head in Zhao Liangsi's exile place, which was still a bit unjust!

At this time, plus Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, and Liang Fangping, who had been executed before this, Zhao Ji's henchmen and minions had been completely eradicated. Zhao Huan killed two birds with one stone, not only conforming to the will of the people to punish traitors and kill national thieves, but also cut off Zhao Ji's henchmen, eliminating the threat of Emperor Taishang's restoration, and breaking his idea of gathering his old subordinates. And he became more unscrupulous in order to consolidate his throne, and when he killed Wang Huang, he pretended to be a thief, and now he even left Taizu's legacy behind, and tore off the fig leaf to kill several people...

Cleaning up his father's group of subordinates, Zhao Huan looked around the world and suddenly found that in addition to the Jurchens, there was another person who could pose a threat to him, and that was his second brother Zhao Tan. Thinking that he had been degraded to only a title, he had no position and no power to pacify the envoy who raised his arms in the river and called for troops to rescue Taiyuan, and within ten days he gathered an army of 150,000 and raised a huge amount of military salaries, grain and grass, which shows his high prestige.

Hearing this, Zhao Huan was ashamed and angry, and he made a wish to be an emperor, plus money and food, and repeatedly issued edicts to recruit soldiers, but few responded. And when he shouted, some people came to take refuge with money and food, which would not be easy if he wanted to rebel. But at this time, it was he who issued an edict to call on people to save Taiyuan, and the teacher was famous, not only could he not stop it, but he also had to give an edict to encourage, how aggrieved you say!

But Zhao Huan thought about it this time, fortunately, he was going to do it with the Jurchens, not to grab his throne, and the Jurchens were not vegetarians, and he repeatedly dispatched troops to save Taiyuan, but he didn't go back, and even Li Gang, a guy who was jumping and shouting all day long to do with the Jurchens, really sent him to go. I want to let him fight, let the Jurchens die, I just want to hold a memorial service for him, and in addition to the trouble in my heart!

So Zhao Huan looked forward to the Jurchens winning the battle day and night, but he was soon disappointed, and the Jurchens who forced himself to jump and gave money and called Dad wilted in front of their brothers, and more than 10,000 people died in the two battles, and secretly slipped away from Taiyuan City, and this took only ten days. When the news of Taiyuan's victory reached Beijing, the whole country was shaken, this was a great victory that had never been seen since the Jurchen invasion of the south, and Zhao Huan's heart at this time can be imagined...

A person who lacks self-confidence, when he reaches the pinnacle of power, the most taboo thing is to surpass his subordinates, especially the closest people around him. The more mediocre the emperor, the more he feels that he must be incomparably wise and great in the eyes of the people of the world, and those who surpass themselves will become his enemies.

When Zhao Tan led the army to recover the lost prefectures and counties of Taiyuan Prefecture and conquered the dangerous Chitang Pass was placed on Zhao Huan's desk again, he could no longer bear the torment of jealousy in his heart. For his father also used deceptive methods, then for his brother is forced, Zhao Huan will reward the bounty that should be given to the meritorious soldiers who rescued Taiyuan, most of which will be transferred to Li Gang's department, and then order them to march into Taiyuan to replace the Hezhong army.

Deducting the bounty, Zhao Huan wanted the Hezhong Army to make trouble for this, and no longer 'sell his life' to Zhao Ta, in his mind, all the soldiers in the world are the same, they are all fighting for money. On the contrary, the reward of money to Li Gang's subordinates was to let them, that is, to let them obey their orders, and they could suppress the 'rebellious' Hezhong Army at any time, so as to coerce Zhao Ta to have to enter the hub...
