"It can't be said that Sang Weihan is greedy for money, lustful, and power-grabbing is good, but it is not useless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info his vision is unique, his knowledge is extraordinary, and he does have real skills and means.

Judging from his past, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first hero of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty.

After the defeat of the Khitan, the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty was able to quickly calm down, and this person contributed a lot. There is such a person in the court, and it is difficult for the Great Jin to cause chaos. The princes of all walks of life still have some scruples about the imperial court, and the one who is afraid of them is not the current saint, but this Sang Daren.

No one is perfect, and no one is perfect. To observe people, we must look at their shortcomings, and we should use our strengths. If the saint can make good use of this person, it is not surprising that the Great Jin will turn from weak to strong. ”

In the study of Guo Mansion in Taiyuan City, Guo Weizheng and his righteous son Guo Rong, and his confidants Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi talked about state affairs, and unconsciously talked about Sang Weihan's past.

In the third year of the Later Tang Dynasty (Note 1), the puppet emperor Li Congke of the Later Tang Dynasty was jealous of the first emperor and intended to cut the feudal domain, and the puppet emperor moved to Yunzhou, in fact, he wanted to move the foundation of the first emperor in Hedong.

If the first emperor was edicted and really moved to Yunzhou, I am afraid that it would inevitably end up with 'all the birds flying, the good bow hidden, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked'. However, if the edict was not obeyed, the power of the former emperor in Hedong at that time would not be able to resist the army of the puppet emperor Li Congke.

The first emperor was in a dilemma and asked the opinions of the generals under the account, except for Liu Shuai and Sang Weihan, no one dared to express their opinions.

At that time, Sang Weihan offered a plan: "Now the Lord treats him as a rebel, and this is not the first thanks, but the strength is a self-fulfillment plan." The Khitan Lord Su and Mingzong (Note 2) are about brothers, and now the tribe is close to Yun and Ying, and sincerity can push the heart to bend the matter, in case of urgency, the morning and evening come, why is there no success?'

Liu Shuai also strongly agreed with Sang Weihan's proposal!"

"So, in this situation in the Central Plains, the initiator turned out to be Sang Weihan?" Zhao Kuangyi frowned.

Guo Wei smiled slightly, and replied: "There are no eternal friends in the world, and there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! At that time, Lord Sang was also thinking about the first emperor, and the enemy of the enemy was a friend. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Wei looked at Guo Rong, although Guo Wei had children, he still valued Guo Rong the most.

Guo Rong is the nephew of Guo Wei's wife Chai, formerly known as Chai Rong, who grew up in Guo Wei's family since he was a child, and was adopted by Guo Wei as an adopted son because of his prudence and generosity, and changed his name to Guo Rong. Guo Wei has great expectations for Guo Rong, and the Guo family may have to rely on Guo Rong to support the overall situation in the future.

Therefore, he hopes that Guo Rong can understand the truth and know how to be flexible. Zhao Kuangyi's ideas can be extreme, but he doesn't want Guo Rong to be as extreme as Zhao Kuangyi.

Of course, Guo Rong understood Guo Wei's opinion, and asked quietly, "So the first emperor adopted Lord Sang's opinion?"

"That's good!" Guo Wei nodded, "The first emperor ordered Sang Weihan to ask the Khitan for help, promising to cede the sixteen states of Youyun after the matter was completed, and call him 'Emperor Er', and use the etiquette of serving his father to the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang. ”

Zhao Kuangyi said angrily: "This is too much, it is a shame for my Han people! Liu Shuai also agrees?"

"It's just a matter of talking here, don't talk about it to the outside world!" Guo Wei reprimanded Zhao Kuangyi slightly, and replied, "Of course Liu Shuai disagrees, and he thinks it's too much, but if not, how can he say that Yelu Deguang is moved to help the first emperor?"

The matter was handled by Sang Weihan, and Yelu Deguang agreed to the request to aid the emperor.

However, later Lu Longjiedu made Zhao Dejun (Note 3) rebellious, and also wanted to enter Luoyang and ascend the throne as emperor, so he also sent someone to bribe Yelu Deguang, hoping to get the support of the Khitan.

After the first emperor learned the news, he was worried that things would change, and Sang Weihan went to the Khitan to meet Yelu Deguang and argued the need to help the first emperor. He also said that he would use China's wealth to serve the great powers, and later knelt in front of the tent, crying and fighting for it from dawn to dusk.

Yelu Deguang was moved by Sang Weihan, so he decided to help the first emperor, which was the first emperor to use the Khitan iron horse to destroy the Later Tang Dynasty and replace it.

Therefore, the sentence 'destroying the Tang Dynasty and prospering the Jin Dynasty, the power of Weihan is also' is not wrong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Sang Weihan is the first hero of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

"Shameless, traitor!" Zhao Kuangyi couldn't help but scold, "Competing to betray the country, no wonder Huaxia has sunk to Si." ”

Guo Wei glanced at Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi's temperament he had always known, some scholarly temperament, not as calm and atmospheric as his brother Zhao Kuangyin, but it is not surprising that young people have some blood and strength.

After the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yelu Deguang admired Sang Weihan, and under the strong leadership of Yelu Deguang, Sang Weihan was appointed as the Zhongshu Shilang Tongping Zhangshi and the Privy Envoy of Quanzhi, which is equivalent to the status of the prime minister. Later, he served as a bachelor of Hanlin, which is equivalent to the internal minister.

Sang Weihan held the three important positions of prime minister, privy council, and bachelor of Hanlin, and became a veritable minister of the Later Jin Dynasty, which can be described as a moment of power. ”

Guo Wei continued: "In the third year of Tianfu (Note 4), Sang Weihan asked Yang Guangyuan to move to Luoyang, which caused Yang Guangyuan's dissatisfaction. Yang Guangyuan wrote to accuse Sang Weihan of favoritism, improper reform, and reinstatement of the mansion under the two capitals, competing with the people for profit. The first emperor transferred Sang Weihan to Xiangzhou in the following year, and moved to Yanzhou a year later. ”

In June of the sixth year of Tianfu (Note 5), Zhenzhou Chengde Festival made An Chongrong and his disgraced ministers resist and ask for the Khitan, and Sang Weihan played a secret performance, and vigorously Chen fought against the Khitan's 'seven musts', from the reasons for An Chongrong's resistance, the power comparison between the Great Jin and the Khitan, the internal affairs of the Great Jin, and the pros and cons of confrontation and peace and pro and co-op explained that maintaining a good relationship with the Khitan is conducive to the overall situation of the country.

The first emperor followed Sang Weihan's advice and did not raise an army to attack the Khitan.

I still remember that his sparse clouds: 'I hope that Your Majesty will train farmers to practice war, and raise soldiers and rest farmers.' If the country has no internal worries, the people have spare strength, and then they will watch the provocation and move, then the move will be successful. ’

Although I don't approve of some of his methods of surrendering to the Khitan, this person does have vision, eloquence, and a gap. The prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty in the past few years was indispensable.

After Jing Yanguang was transferred from the imperial court to Luoyang, Sang Weihan was able to return to the position of prime minister and was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, and at the same time restored the establishment of the Privy Council, with him as the privy envoy, and once again became a powerful figure in the Great Jin Dynasty.

At that time, Sang Weihan went to the post of Privy Council, and soon the Privy Council was abolished, and later the Privy Council was replaced, that is, Sang Weihan was also the Privy Counselor, and his talent can be seen. ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "The great traitors and evil people must have great wisdom and bravery." ”

Zhao Kuangyi said: "Although there is little wisdom, there is no great wisdom." ”

Guo Rong said: "The extremes of things must be opposed, but I am afraid that Sang Weihan may not be able to be prominent for long this time." ”

Guo Wei smiled and nodded silently.

Zhao Kuangyin said strangely: "Why do you say this?"

Guo Rong replied: "I heard that Sang Weihan made a comeback this time, and there was a lot of criticism from the government and the opposition, and the emperor was also dissatisfied with him, how could this situation last long?"

Note 1: Three years after the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 936 AD.

Note 2: Mingzong, that is, Emperor Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty, the righteous son of Li Keyong. Li Keyong also had a honeymoon period with the Khitan Emperor Yelu Abaoji back then, and the two formed an alliance and became brothers. (Later, due to Yelu Abaoji's betrayal and refuge in Houliang, the two fell out.) Therefore, Li Siyuan also had a brotherly covenant with the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang at that time

Legend has it that when Li Keyong was dying, he handed over three arrows to his son Li Cunqiao and said: "The first arrow wants you to crusade against Liu Rengong, if you don't capture Youzhou first, you can't take it south of the Yellow River."

The second arrow wants you to defeat the Khitan, Yelu Abaoji shook hands with me and formed an alliance, became brothers, once swore to recover the Tang Dynasty together, but now he is treacherously attached to the thief party, and you must crusade against him.

The third arrow is to destroy Juwen.

If you can fulfill my three wishes, I will die without regrets. ”

Li Cunmiao enshrined the three arrows in the temple.

When it came time to crusade against Liu Rengong, Li Cunqiao ordered the ceremonial officials to sacrifice to the temple with a young prison, and invited the first arrow to be carried by the personal generals as the vanguard. On the day of his victorious return, he returned the arrow to Jongmyo with his captives.

Later, the same was true of the Khitan and the Zhu clan (Later Liang).

Note 3: Zhao Dejun (?-937), whose real name is Zhao Xingshi, is a native of Youzhou. Later, the Tang Zhuang Sect gave the name Li Shaobin, and he was tired of moving to Cangzhou. In the third year of Tongguang (that is, 925), the town was moved to Youzhou. Mingzong ascended the throne, returned to his original surname, and changed his name to Dejun. Later, he was awarded the service in the middle of the service, and the northeast was awarded the envoy, and the tired official went to the school to inspect the Taishi and the Zhongshu order, and was named the king of Beiping.

Shi Jingjiao and Jinyang rebelled, and the last emperor Li Congke took Zhao Dejun as the commander of all the roads.

At that time, Fan Yanguang led his troops in Liaozhou, and Zhao Dejun wanted to annex his army, so he invited Li Congke, but Li Congke did not obey.

So Zhao Dejun tore off his mask, sent an envoy to the Khitan, followed Shi Jingjiao, and begged Yelu Deguang, hoping that Yelu Deguang could make him emperor. But Yelu Deguang was persuaded by Sang Weihan and did not support Zhao Dejun.

Later, the Khitan supported Shi Jingjun to become the emperor, and Yelu Deguang brought Zhao Dejun to the Khitan to restrain Shi Jingjian, and in the second year of Tianfu (that is, 937), Zhao Dejun died in the Khitan.

Zhao Yanshou in this article is Zhao Dejun's adopted son. Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou, father and son, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are traitors.

Note 4: In the third year of Tianfu, that is, in 938 A.D.

Note 5: In the sixth year of Tianfu, that is, in 941 A.D.
