Today, we continue to come with you to see the official character evaluation of the Great Song Dynasty, gossip less, we solemnly launch today's star, the number one iron rooster of the Great Song, Cao use the adult.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three fingers to comfort the Son of Heaven, and the nameless pawn made an immortal miracle</h1>
If you want to evaluate the list of major events in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is estimated that the difficulty of Jing Kang deserves to be the first place, followed by the alliance of the wheel of shangyuan. This covenant, which was complained about by later generations as an alliance under the city, won nearly a hundred years of peace and prosperity for the Northern Song Dynasty, and created a prosperous era that made people in later generations fascinated.
The Alliance of the Abyss is a historical event that deserves a lot of books, because it is so interesting, at least three of them.
1. The highest specifications, both sides are the emperor himself driving the imperial conquest, of which the emperor of the Liao State also carries the pro-ma empress dowager;
2, the process is the most funny, the two sides fight back and forth, the early Liao state has the advantage, until it is forced to the north bank of the Yellow River, but the general of the unified army, Xiao Taorin, was shot by an arrow by an unknown pawn of the Song army when he was inspecting in front of the battle, resulting in the army's disorientation and no morale;
3, the result is the most divine, a century war related to the survival of the two countries, gambling on the fortunes of the country, but the result is peace talks, the emperor of the Liao State recognizes the Emperor of the Song Dynasty as a brother, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty gives a change fee, does not fight and does not know each other, and the wronged family becomes a relative.
Although the whole process is full of comedic overtones and various unpredictable accidents, there is a small person who plays an extremely important role in it, and he is Cao Yu.
Cao Yu, the word used, Zhao Zhou NingJin (now Xingtai), his father is not big or small is an official, so Cao Yu is also a second generation of officials, after his father's death, he substituted into the system, Ren Yanlu to bear official affairs, to put it bluntly, is a running errand.
At that time, the international situation was probably like this, the Liao state's 200,000 troops invaded on a large scale, and had already fought all the way to Yingzhou, and Emperor Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng had only two thoughts in his mind, the first was to run, and the second was to seek peace. It is impossible to run, and with such a main war faction outlaw like Kou Zhun around, then there is only one left to make peace.
Seeking peace requires emissaries, this kind of forced peace risk coefficient is extremely high, talking about eighty percent is to lose power and humiliate the country, to be spurned by the masses, can refer to Li Zhongtang, who signed the Maguan Treaty in later generations; it is even more terrible to talk about it, and ninety-nine percent of his own life will be accounted for there. Therefore, no one dared to respond to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu, and Cao Yu stood up unhurriedly: The subject is willing to go!
Zhenzong was moved to tears, suffering to see the truth, there is no ambition to be a small official, he took Xiao Cao's hand and taught carefully, remembering that resolutely can not cut the land, the indemnity is OK, but the amount you have to grasp well.
Cao took advantage of the obedient listening and returned categorically: "If he asks for something in vain, the subject does not dare to survive." ”
At this time, Zhenzong did not realize that the talent he had discovered was the first iron rooster since the Song Dynasty, absolutely a dime, but in the near future, he laid a golden egg for his master, so that Zhao Heng could wake up laughing in his dreams.
Cao Yu came to the Liao army with the mentality of death, and there are not many historical records of the negotiation process, only that Empress Xiao of the Liao State personally went out on the horse, insisting that the land in Guannan was stolen by Zhou Shizong, and there was no heavenly reason, and it must be returned to the Liao State. And Cao Yu quickly entered the state of iron rooster, and resolutely refused Empress Xiao's request: The matter of land is related to the former dynasty, I don't know anything about the Great Song, land you don't want to think about, even if it is money, give it to you or not!
Cao's non-violent non-cooperation attitude completely annoyed the Liaoguo, which is not okay, that is not okay, what else is there to talk about, but continue to fight? It is really impossible to fight anymore, the general Xiao Taorin died in the Song army's crossbow, the military morale has been scattered, and the Song Zhenzong imperial conquest has personally marched to the front, the morale of the Song army is high, and it is very likely that the entire army will be destroyed.
Of course, none of these Cao representatives know, he does not know the opponent's bottom card and bottom line, he only has his own principles and the belief of preferring to die. It was driven by this belief that he uttered the last key sentence of the historical record: I came to negotiate with the belief that I must die, and as long as you do not regret it, then despite the sky-high price, let alone the land cannot be obtained, the war will end to death.
As a result, this word poked at the soft underbelly of the Liao state, in the face of this soft and hard iron rooster that did not eat, a dime, the Liao state pinched its nose and drew a pledge on the peace treaty, the provisions were not complicated, the most important was two, Liao Shengzong recognized Song Zhenzong as a brother, and Zhenzong gave his brother a change fee of 300,000 taels of silver every year. Want to know how much you earn? The Song Dynasty was dealing with a medium-sized battle, and it needed to throw out thirty million taels of silver, and this silver could now be exchanged for a hundred years of peace. Does anyone else think that the Alliance of the Abyss is an alliance under the city?
Our iron rooster, Lord Cao, hurried back to the Song army with a signed peace treaty, and silently held out three fingers in the face of the eager inquiring eyes of the emperor who could not take care of the food. Lord Cao, who was full of hope waiting for the emperor's praise, was disappointed, and according to legend, Zhao Heng saw those three fingers and was shocked that the chopsticks fell off. Million! Too much! But soon he was back to normal, forget it, it was good that things could end like this.
Lord Cao must have been crying and laughing at this time, in order not to commit the crime of deceiving the king, he quickly confessed the actual amount, and the huge contrast made Zhao Heng seem to fly to heaven, this courtier, give power! Reward!! Since then, Lord Cao has officially begun his career as a eunuch.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > has a straight temperament but does not know how to converge, and falls victim to political struggle</h1>
After the traces, Cao used a hair out of control, and the official was the Privy Councillor. He became the leader of the court under one man and above all men. The official is getting bigger and bigger, but his temperament has never changed, and he is still so straight and does not know how to converge. He almost offended all the forces at once.
The first is to offend the eunuch, as an iron-blooded real man, Cao Daren most despises and does not look at the eunuchs, he never pretends to be a color to the eunuchs, at that time there was a big eunuch named Luo Chongxun, who made something fall into cao's hands, And Cao took off his hat and turban, pointed at his nose and scolded for a long time. This is still true for the head eunuch, and for the other little eunuchs, he is even more upset with it, and he either scolds or scolds, and does not look at people at all.
At that time, Zhenzong was dead, and the young Emperor Renzong succeeded to the throne, but the power was almost in the hands of Empress Dowager Liu E. Cao used his seniority and prestige to be suppressed by Liu E, so the arrogant Cao Daren actually played performance art, and when he entered the temple, he tapped his fingers on his corset while talking. This matter can be big or small, but the eunuchs will not let go of any opportunity to slander Cao's use, and some internal servants will secretly point to Cao And say to Liu E: "Empress Dowager, when the former emperor was there, did he dare to be so rude?" ”
"When using the former emperor, how dare you be evil?"
There are countless records like this in the history books of the Song Dynasty, and the central idea is one, Cao Yu drifted, he relied on the old and sold the old, and deserved it.
When everyone's goal is directed at one person, that person is not far from bad luck.
Cao's downfall, like his origins, is magical and unbelievable.
He had a nephew who was unreasonable and ran amok in the township. Luo Chongxun showed great enthusiasm this time and strongly asked Miao to go and deal with the matter. It is said that when Luo Chongxun saw Cao Yu's nephew, he was very drunk, dressed in yellow, and let people shout long live, Luo Chongxun was furious and killed him. Cao took advantage of the crime and was demoted to Fangzhou.
The whole thing was full of strangeness, and people with a little logic could judge what was happening, but no one took advantage of Cao's head, and the upright Cao daren't explain, so he went on the road to Fangzhou without a word, on the way, because the eunuch who guarded the escort was disrespectful, Cao was humiliated and hanged himself.
Throughout Cao's life, merit is a great achievement, a small deed, a pure victim of political struggle. An overly upright character both made him and ultimately harmed him, but history's evaluation of a person is always fair, and the last sentence of the Song Shi Cao's Biography of Cao Yu made a conclusive conclusion for him:
Those who use sexual terriers to be less skillful and try to cut luck, and those who are pro-old or have causes to advance, so they are in trouble. However, in the imperial court, he was loyal and guarded, and he never succumbed, and death was not his crime, and the world was wronged.
The world has been wronged, these four words are enough, under the Nine Springs, Cao Gong should be able to see.
