Chapter 192 Hou Zhou Mingjun

Zhao Kuangyin rode on a horse before he spoke: Since you have made me the Son of Heaven, can you all obey my orders?

The soldiers replied in unison, "Naturally, listen to Your Majesty's orders." ”

"Zhao Kuangyin issued an order: After arriving in the capital, it is necessary to protect the empress dowager and the young lord of the Zhou Dynasty, not to invade the ministers of the court, not to loot the state warehouse, and those who carry out the order will be rewarded heavily, otherwise they will be dealt with strictly."

"Zhao Kuangyin was originally the commander of the forbidden army, and with the support of the generals, who would dare not obey the order! The soldiers lined up and drove to the capital. Along the way, the army was neat, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and when he arrived in Bianjing, he took the capital without much effort. ”

"The generals brought in the ministers of the court, Fan Zhen and Wang Pu, they saw Zhao Kuangyin in a yellow robe, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly bowed, Emperor Zhou Gong gave way, and Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, the country name Song, the capital of Tokyo, known as the Northern Song Dynasty in history, and Zhao Kuangyin is Song Taizu."

This is the allusion of "yellow robe", if Zhao Kuangyin does not seize the throne, with Emperor Zhou Gong and their orphans and widows, I am afraid that the country will not be able to hold it. At that time, it was not the people of Dawn who suffered from the chaos in the world, and Zhao Kuangyin brought the people to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Cao Cao: I don't recommend assisting the young emperor, when the emperor grows up, the able ministers often won't end well.

Zhao Kuangyin: No way, I had to be the emperor in my situation at that time, and I can't hide that I did have ambitions, and I had no way out of the situation at that time.

Li Shimin: If you didn't agree at that time, you might be killed by this group of soldiers, and when they have an idea, you can only promise to go down, this group of soldiers has no way to retreat, and can only go one way to the dark.

Zhu Yuanzhang: It's a pity Chai Rong!

"It may be a premeditation, or it may be a last resort, no matter how it is discussed, after Zhao Kuangyin usurped the throne, he treated the Chai family of the previous dynasty well, and the release of military power with a glass of wine created a precedent, all in all, Zhao Kuangyin is still a good emperor, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin and called "Tang Zong Song Zu" deservedly. ”

Zhao Kuangyin ended the era of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and although the Great Song Dynasty he established single-handedly once caused the world to be cold because of the "shame of Jingkang" and signed many unequal treaties, the economy of the Song Dynasty was also very prosperous, which is undeniable. ”

"Chen Qiao's mutiny, the yellow robe, and almost bloodlessly picked up this big bargain from Hou Zhou's hands, and such good luck is very rare in China's 5,000-year-long river."

"After the story is told, it's time to get down to business!"

"To be honest, when I think of Zhao Kuangyin, what comes to mind is not those reforms, but mutton steamed buns, movable type printing, and papermaking."

"If you want to say what Zhao Kuangyin's reforms are, some people may not remember, but I should know all the things I said, but they don't know that these come from the Song Dynasty."

"Let's get down to business first, and say I'm hungry."

"Zhao Kuangyin can be called the emperor, as well as the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, on this basis is inseparable from a "Bole", Zhao Kuangyin has high merits, and he cannot erase the foundation laid by him. ”

"The sun is shining brightly, and thousands of mountains are like fire. A round of heaven in an instant, driving away the stars and the waning moon. "This is a poem by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and it is also a rare seven-character quatrain in his life."

"The scene depicted in this poem is not what Zhao Kuangyin wants?"

"He wanted to be the sun that shone on the earth and could expel the darkness, although he was only a small army leader at the time, but it can be seen from the poem that he has great ambitions and a big picture in his heart."

"He Zhao Kuangyin is ambitious, just like I said the allusion of "yellow robe", whether it is premeditated or going upstream, you can see that his ambition is not small. ”

"After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion was not resolved for a long time, and the world entered the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms."

During the Five Dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin was appointed by Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty as the envoy of the Guide Festival, and since then he has repeatedly won military merits, laying the foundation for the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin can achieve a hegemony, inseparable from Zhou Shizu's appreciation and promotion, it can be said that Zhou Shizu is Zhao Kuangyin's "Bole". ”

During the Five Dynasties period, there was an emperor known as the "First Ming Jun of the Five Dynasties", who was very good at making good use of talents, and said: "Civil and military references, each do its duty", this person is Zhou Shizong - Chai Rong. ”

"During Chai Rong's reign, he reorganized the army, reduced taxes, appeased refugees, and the politics of the Later Zhou Dynasty were clear, the people were rich, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and began to restore prosperity."

"Chai Rong was the lord of Zhao Kuangyin all his life, and he was the adopted son of Zhou Taizu, and later changed his name to Guo Rong, because the two sons of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei were killed, so Chai Rong inherited the throne when Guo Wei died."

"Zhao Kuangyin joined the army very early, the earliest under Guo Wei, Zhao Kuangyin is strong, brave in battle, repeatedly made military merits, and received Guo Wei's promotion and reuse, but at this time Zhao Kuangyin has not had the opportunity to enter the power center and cannot participate in decision-making on important matters."

"After Zhou Shizu succeeded to the throne, he was young and vigorous, and he drove a personal expedition to conquer the Liao State and the Northern Han Kingdom, and Zhao Kuangyin was also among them, but at this time, Zhou Shizu did not know Zhao Kuangyin."

"In this battle, there were few soldiers in the Later Zhou, there were many people in the Northern Han Dynasty, Chai Rong had little experience in the battlefield, and it was the first time to drive the army, so the morale of the team was low, and the generals of the right army, Fan Aineng and He Hui, were powerless, and they were timid, and they led the troops to flee soon after the battle, and when the decisive battle was about to begin, the Ningjiang army made Fan Aineng lead the army to escape, and the army was in turmoil after Zhou."

"The Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces took advantage of the situation to attack, Chai Rong was deeply trapped in the enemy formation and could not get out, and it was Zhao Kuangyin who was guarding Chai Rong at this time."

At this critical moment, Zhao Kuangyin raised his arms and shouted: "The Lord is facing danger, we should fight to the death!" "Immediately, Zhao Kuangyin led the army to charge, killing many enemies, plus Chai Rong supervised the battle, and the morale of the Later Zhou was high again, and finally the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces were forced to withdraw."

"At that time, Guo Wei's son-in-law Zhang Yongde served as the supreme commander of the forbidden army, and he praised Zhao Kuangyin's performance in this battle, and Chai Rong promoted him to be the Marquis of Yu."

Since then, Chai Rong has also admired Zhao Kuangyin very much, trusted him very much, and hoped to become a heroic person like Zhao Kuangyin.

"Zhao Kuangyin is undoubtedly the biggest hero of this battle, he has a life-saving grace for Chai Rong, Chai Rong has since trusted Zhao Kuangyin more and more, and Zhao Kuangyin also fought for him in the north and south, and established many meritorious achievements."

"Before Chai Rong died, he promoted Zhao Kuangyin without any suspicion of him, and it was because of this."

"For Chai Rong, he may never have thought that Zhao Kuangyin would rebel one day, after all, Zhao Kuangyin is his henchman, Zhao Kuangyin followed Chai Rong to fight in the south and the north very early, and made great achievements."
