Chapter 79: Today's Emperor Taishang
"Your Majesty, move the capital!"
This is the upper book of the teacher's way, and the content of the book is only five words. Originally, the master thought of a lot of reasons for moving the capital, and the content was written as many as seven pages. However, I feel that there are too many words, and too many words means that there is a lot of nonsense, and it is easy to feel impatient.
So it was rewritten, deleted, and written into three more pages;
But it still didn't work, and it ended up being a page.
In the end, it was simply written in five words.
The reason for moving the capital can be said to be a basket; If you don't move the capital, there are reasons not to move the capital, and you can also write a basket. The reasons for moving the capital and not moving the capital, today's officials have heard a lot, and it is useless to say too much. It's just about the trade-offs, and the emphasis is on how the officials choose.
Choice is more important than reason.
Looking at these five words, Song Qinzong's mind flashed with countless reasons for moving the capital, such as avoiding the edge of the Jin army, such as cultivating life and recuperation, such as taking advantage of the dangers in Guanzhong, such as using the elite soldiers of Shaanxi, and enduring humiliation and revenge.
But when he thought of the harm of moving the capital, he was a little afraid.
Before the capital was moved, the ceremonial conquests were all from the Son of Heaven; After the relocation of the capital, the ceremonial conquests were all from the princes.
If it was in the peaceful era, moving the capital would just be a financial loss, and the ministers of the court would be dissatisfied. However, in the war years, moving the capital was extremely risky, even a slow suicide.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, before moving the capital, Zhou Tianzi was the real Son of Heaven; But after the relocation of the capital, who cares about the Son of Heaven, the real heroes rise together. In the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Tianzi fled Chang'an, and also moved the capital to Shuzhong, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven dispersed; In the end, the warlords continued to divide and knew that the Tang Dynasty would fall.
If the capital is moved to Guanzhong and the capital is moved to Jingzhaofu, the benefits are extremely obvious; But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the majesty of the Son of Heaven is not there, can he still suppress those arrogant generals and ghostly Wenchen at that time?
Song Qinzong is self-aware, he has just come to power, he has just become the emperor, and his position is extremely unstable. In the Great Song Dynasty, there was a tradition of not killing scholars and doctors, but he risked the defeat and killed the six thieves. It seems that the people of Bianliang are all applauding and applauding, looking like a wise and heroic lord, but they are disgusted and resisted by the scholars.
In the opinion of the scholar, he can use the name of killing the six thieves today, and the killing continues; Tomorrow, in the name of killing the "four thieves", he can start killing again.
Now, by virtue of his status as the emperor and relying on the majesty of the emperor, the officials in the court and the central government dare not act rashly. However, once the capital is moved, the ministers of the DPRK and China will inevitably attack again and attack his authority. At that time, it was very likely that the father Song Huizong, the emperor, would become the emperor again.
As soon as he thought of his former father, today's Emperor Taishang, the thorn in Song Qinzong's heart continued to grow.
…………
The Emperor Taishang has always been tragic!
The first emperor was King Wuling of Zhao. King Wuling of Zhao rode and shot to make the Qin state strong. So in the twenty-seventh year (299 BC), he bravely broke the tradition of establishing a new monarch after the death of the king, and took the initiative to give the throne to his beloved young son Zhao He, that is, King Zhao Huiwen, and let the old minister Feiyi, who has rich political experience, be Xiangguo, and call himself the "master father". Freed from the tedious government affairs, he commanded the cavalry he had created with his own hands, and prepared to attack Qin from the south of the Hetao. In order to win in stability, King Wuling of Zhao took great risks, disguised himself as an envoy to enter Qin, spied on the situation of King Qin, reconnoitred the terrain of Guanzhong, and carefully studied the strategy of attacking Qin.
Just when Zhao's father was ambitious, there was a coup d'état within Zhao. According to the records of the Zhao family; In the fourth year of King Huiwen, Gongzi Zhang "made a rebellion", killed Feiyi first, and Gongzi Li Cheng and Li Dui raised troops and defeated Gongzi Zhang. After Gongzi Zhang's defeat, he defected to his master, who took him in. Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui besieged the Dune Palace where the main father lived and killed Gongzi Zhang. They were afraid that the lord would settle accounts after the autumn, so they besieged the lord father in the palace. "The master father can't come out if he wants to, and he can't eat, so he eats it by visiting the jue (little sparrow), and starves to death in the Dune Palace for more than three months." This is how Master Zhao's father died in the infighting.
The second sad emperor is Tang Taizu Li Yuan. Li Yuan was originally a wise and martial man, but he was also entangled in dealing with the issue of his son's heir. He tried to reconcile the contradictions between the two, but failed, but after the Xuanwumen Change, he was imprisoned and abdicated to become the emperor. He was lucky not to starve to death on his back, and lived happily ever until he died.
And the third sad Emperor is also the most tragic Emperor is none other than Song Huizong.
There is no saddest urge, only more sorrowful.
The Jin army went south, and Song Huizong was frightened, so he gave up the throne to his eldest son and ran south with his cronies, cowardly as a mouse. If he had stayed in the south, he might have avoided the shame of Jingkang and the crisis of Bianliang's city breaking, but this product returned to Bianliang after the siege of Bianliang was lifted.
Why go back to Bianliang?
Strive for fame in the court, compete for profit in the city!
If you want to compete for fame and fortune, it is best to be in the Central Plains. The land of the Central Plains, like the Tianyuan of a chessboard, is in a key position. If he has been in the south and has always been on the safe side, he may lose his fame and fortune soon, who still remembers him as the emperor. In order to compete for the lost fame and fortune, Song Huizong returned to Bianliang to regain the lost power.
However, after returning to Bianliang, I found that no one remembered him, the former emperor, when people went to tea and cooled!
And the notoriety of his escape made the people of Bianliang even more chilled, and no one liked to run away from the emperor. Seeing that he was helpless to compete for fame and profit, Song Huizong proposed to go to Jingzhao Mansion to train the Western Army and defend Bianliang, but was immediately rejected by Song Qinzong.
An escaped emperor also said that he would recruit elites and defend Bianliang, who would believe this! Nineteen, eight, and nine thought of controlling a part of the military power, and Jingzhao Mansion carried out a coup d'état.
So, Song Qinzong simply replaced the palace people and quieted his father.
…………
The night is like water, and it is a good weather to write poems and lyrics.
However, Song Huizong, who has always been amazingly talented, looked at the sky weakly, and his heart was extremely depressed, and he had no mood to compose poetry at all.
The most wrong thing he did in his life was to pass the throne to his eldest son Zhao Heng; The second mistake was to abandon Bianliang and flee to the south; The third mistake is to return to Bianliang again.
When he did not return to Bianliang, he was still the emperor, and many officials everywhere he went were respectful; But after returning to Bianliang, the henchmen were isolated one after another, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were also replaced, and they were confined in this small space, unable to move a little, and it was impossible to see familiar people.
At this time, the palace door opened, and a man walked in, it was Zhao Heng, the son of heaven today, Song Qinzong.
"Father, I've come to see you!" Song Qinzong walked in and sat casually on the stone bench next to him.
"Now we are father and son, and we are so estranged!" Song Huizong sat down angrily, sat on the stone bench resentfully and said, "It is not my idea to cut off the taxes in the southeast, it is those courtiers who do it behind my back." Since I have passed on the throne to you, I have no intention of taking it back! ”
Most of the taxes paid by the Song Dynasty were given to the southeast, and after a siege of half a year, Bianliang's finances were extremely embarrassed and he urgently needed blood transfusions from the southeast. But at this critical moment, the southeast's finances and taxes were intercepted, and everything was this father. At that time, Song Qinzong had the heart to kill.
"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. As long as the grain and grass are enough, even if you can't fight, you can hold on, form a confrontation with the enemy, constantly harass the enemy, and relieve the pressure on Taiyuan. “
However, because the finance and taxation in the southeast were intercepted, the Shaanxi army that rescued Taiyuan on three routes was embarrassed by a shortage of grain and grass. Because of the shortage of food and grass, the planters could only lead hastily soldiers to rescue the sun, hastily fighting, and the result was a big defeat. If there is enough grain and grass in the planting division, enough to hold on, even if it is difficult for the Jin army, it can retreat and hold on to contain the Jin army's strength, it will be as embarrassing as it is now, the 200,000 Shaanxi army is all wiped out in Hedong, and the old general in the planting division is also killed! "Song Qinzong hated the way.
"No, it won't!" Song Huizong's head was buzzing. The 200,000 Shaanxi troops were all wiped out on Hedong Road, which is shocking news.
Song Qinzong said another breaking news: "The thirteenth brother Zhao Pu, who went out with the army, also lost the news and may have died in battle." All this is the result of your interception of the Southeast Finance and Taxes! ”
"My son is dead!" Song Huizong said a little depressed, "Impossible." Didn't he just come back from being a hostage in the Golden Camp? How could he go out with the army and die on Hedong Road? ”
"Father, your news is too late, and my younger brother is too arrogant. It seems that he has suffered the loss of the Jin army, and he is extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and he vows to join the army and take revenge. I used the ancestral system as an excuse to prevent him from going. But he insisted on going, and even said that he would rather abandon his title and join the army. I'd rather be cut down to a civilian by the Zongren Mansion than join the army. Don't want to become a famous general, just want to be a small soldier, holding a spear to kill the enemy. I could only agree and let him be the supervisor of the Seed Master Dao Army, which satisfied his wish, thinking in my heart that the thirteenth brother had played enough in the army and had enough of the hardships in the army, so he would naturally change his mind, but I didn't expect that the old general in the seed division would die in battle. That brother of mine may have died too! ”
Song Qinzong's expression was a little sad.
This brother is pitiful. was originally a prince, a generation of heirs, enough to live a happy life. But he first went to Jinying as a hostage, and later went out with the army and became the first prince to die in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.
