Chapter Ninety-Five: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
After confirming that Guanshan, Emperor Xudu, and King Yama would not make such a move, then the one who instigated Zhao Guangyi to seize the throne could only be the weak water that had been inherited for thousands of years, but had been trying to make Shenzhou unstable.
However, everything must be considered dialectically, and I must admit that although Zhao Guangyi's imperial throne was not so justifiable, he did not do anything out of the ordinary during his reign, on the contrary, he also made great contributions to the stability of the Song Dynasty.
In the ninth year of Kaibao, Zhao Kuangyin died, Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, and in the second year of succession, he personally conquered Taiyuan, destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and completely ended the division and division of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
Subsequently, he attacked Liao twice in an attempt to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun ceded to Liao by Shi Jingjiao, but unfortunately failed on both occasions, and from then on he took a defensive position against Liao and further strengthened the centralization of power.
In addition, he also encouraged the reclamation of famine, the development of agriculture, the expansion of the scale of the imperial examination, the strengthening of the examination and selection of officials, the further restriction of the power of the moderation of the envoys, and the attempt to change the national policy of emphasizing military force over civil affairs since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and establishing civil politics.
In all fairness, these measures of Zhao Guangyi all conformed to the trend of history and made important contributions to the stability of the Song Dynasty.
And when I think of this, my heart has doubts again.
The purpose of weak water is extremely clear, for thousands of years, every dynasty and every generation of weak water is looking forward to the chaos in the world and letting Shenzhou raise swords again, and throughout Zhao Guangyi's life, it seems that except for the sound of candles and axes, there is no too ridiculous move.
In this case, if Zhao Guangyi is really supported by weak water, then why does he show a wise and martial appearance, such an emperor is definitely not what weak water wants to see.
Thinking of this, I finally couldn't help the doubts in my heart, looked at Juekong and asked seriously.
"Master Juekong, if my guess is correct, then the so-called candle shadow axe should be done by Zhao Guangyi instigated by weak water, and its purpose is to disrupt the fortunes of the Northern Song Dynasty, so as to complete their intention to cause chaos in Shenzhou, right?"
After hearing my inquiry, Juekong nodded slightly, and although he did not make any answer, he did not make any rebuttal.
Seeing this, I suddenly had confidence in my heart, and I asked again what I was puzzled about.
"But master, since Zhao Guangyi is supported by weak water, then what he does will definitely complete the task of weak water, but throughout Zhao Guangyi's life, even if he is not wise and martial, he can be said to be a small achievement, except for the sound of candle shadow axe, why is this?"
"Han Chuan, have you ever heard of a sentence, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind."
Unexpectedly, it was not Juekong who answered me, but Chunting, who had been silent for a long time, and he seemed to be very satisfied that I could think of this, and his expression couldn't help but show a little appreciation, and then he slowly opened his mouth to remind me.
"That's right, Zhao Guangyi was indeed bewitched by the weak water, but what the weak water did, is no one really aware of?"
Hearing this, my mind raced, and I had a bold guess. 120
Perhaps, Guan Shan has long been aware of the weak water's support and demagoguery of Zhao Guangyi?
As far as I know, there are only four major forces in the world, namely Guanshan, Weak Water, King Yama, and the most mysterious Emperor Xudu.
And among these four forces, the king of Yama retired after assisting Zhao Kuangyin to ascend the throne, and traveled in the land of Shenzhou, trying to find the whereabouts of the Emperor Xudu, since the Emperor of Xudu already knew the purpose of the king of Yama, he would naturally hide his whereabouts and would never make any more moves.
Since Juekong had confirmed that the Candle Shadow Axe, known as the Eternal Mystery, was Zhao Guangyi's act under the influence of weak water, then among the four forces, only Guan Shan seemed to be doing nothing.
And the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, does the meaning of this sentence mean that when the weak water bewitches Zhao Guangyi, Guan Shan is not as unaware as he seems, but has already prepared a countermeasure?
"Back then, Weak Water thought that he was bewitching Zhao Guangyi and did something hidden, but as everyone knows, all their actions have already fallen into the eyes of the ancestors of Guanshan."
Perhaps seeing the thoughts that flashed through my mind, Chunting was no longer silent, but opened his mouth to tell us calmly.
"So the ancestors of Guanshan took advantage of the situation, and after the weak water invested a lot of energy to assist Zhao Guangyi, they found the right time to make a decisive move, pulled Zhao Guangyi back to the right path, and let the weak water lose his wife and soldiers, and took the time and energy in vain, but he didn't get a trace of gain."
Speaking of this, Chun Ting's tone was low, and there was a hint of regret in his expression.
"It's just a pity, although the ancestors made a decisive move, they inadvertently missed some timing, they didn't expect that the weak water acted so quickly, although in the end it had no impact on the national fortunes of the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Kuangyin had already died in the hands of Zhao Guangyi."
"Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Kuangyin are indeed brothers, after he discovered the truth of the matter, he couldn't help but regret a lot, and even wanted to die for a while, thanks to the timely enlightenment of the ancestors, this made Zhao Guangyi give up self-denial, and finally completed Zhao Kuangyin's unfinished wish with a sense of guilt."
"This is why Zhao Guangyi did the same thing as the candle shadow axe in the early stage to kill his brother and seize power, but in the later stage, he was wise and martial, and contributed to the stability of the Song Dynasty, because although Zhao Guangyi was alone before and after, his state and heart were already completely different."
Hearing this, I immediately understood the cause and effect.
Weak water has been inherited for thousands of years, and it must have its own unique ability, they saw that the king of Yama assisted Zhao Kuangyin, and they knew that Zhao Kuangyin's unification of Shenzhou could not be stopped, so they retreated to the next best thing and put the goal on his brother Zhao Guangyi.
In the end, Zhao Kuangyin really Chen Qiao mutinied, the yellow robe was added, and the Northern Song Dynasty was successfully established, and the king of Yama retreated when he saw this, and went to find the Emperor of Xudu, at this time Zhao Kuangyin had no help around him, although he had become a generation of emperors, but he was just a mortal.
Seeing this situation, Weak Water made a decisive move and ordered Zhao Guangyi, who had been bewitched by him for a long time, to do the candle shadow axe, so that he killed his brother to seize power, and replaced Zhao Kuangyin's four characters Zhao Defang to ascend the throne, wanting to complete the purpose of making Shenzhou chaotic through Zhao Guangyi.
But as the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, and the weak water thinks that all its actions are extremely hidden, but it has not escaped Guan Shan's gaze.
The ancestors of Guanshan had already understood everything, they seized the opportunity to take advantage of the weak water to pull the bewitched Zhao Guangyi back to the right path, and since Zhao Guangyi was no longer bewitched by the weak water, the purpose of the weak water to disturb the world naturally could not be achieved.
