After the death of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, a scene that shocked the courtiers appeared. Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi actually sat on the throne. The crowd was speechless! Zhao Guangyi was very proud, being the emperor is good, as soon as the dragon chair sits, the ministers below have changed their appearance, one is shorter than the other.
But he knew that although his brother was dead, he had the tail of the "candle shadow axe sound", which caused a lot of trouble and must eliminate the impact as soon as possible. Otherwise, the people below who have become very short can throw themselves off the dragon chair with their teeth and claws and help their nephews to sit up.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyi's gaze fell on Zhao Pu, the prime minister, who ruled the world with half of the Analects, and seemed to have become a key in an instant.
Soon, Zhao Kuangyin, an unknown secret, was made public. Before the empress dowager's death, she summoned Zhao Pu to come and preside over a secret meeting. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin personally said to the empress: After a hundred years, he will pass the emperor to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi. The signatures of the two sides are true, and Zhao Pu's pledge is proof. It's called: The Golden Alliance!
The courtiers all looked at Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu nodded and said, "The situation is true, I testify!" ”
The courtiers suddenly realized that they all chose to believe. Although there is still a small problem in the "Golden Alliance": what if Zhao Kuangyin lives a long time? And this "Alliance of The Golden Daggers" seemed to have already decided that Zhao Kuangyin had died early. Why is it so accurate? It is more accurate than "Push Back Map".
However, this question is not deeply investigated, Zhao Guangyi became the emperor, it is a family affair of others, and whoever cares too much will be suspected of spying on the throne.
So the mystery of the "candle shadow axe sound" before Zhao Kuangyin's death has become a legend in the jianghu: one month of dark and windy night, Zhao Guangyi walked into Zhao Kuangyin's bedroom, and someone saw from the window that in the swaying candle shadow, a black shadow raised the axe and slashed at another black shadow. The next day Zhao Kuangyin died...
There is no shortage of legends in the jianghu! Shortly after Zhao Guangyi became emperor, another jianghu legend broke out and spread rapidly in Kaifeng Province: Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, two predecessors of the Tang Dynasty's prophetic circles, wrote the "Push back map", and there was already a prophecy, saying: Song died at Taizong.
Where the news came from, no one knows, only that the hearts of the people in the capital are floating now. There were even "strange people" who came into being, and they figured out when, where, and who would throw the dragon chair down by Zhao Guangyi.
Zhao Guangyi was angry, and asked the group of ministers with a black face, what should I do? No one answered. Finally, his gaze fell on Zhao Pu again, and he said, "Zhao Aiqing, what do you think about this?" ”
Zhao Pu came out of class and replied: "The situation is true, I testify." Then he added, "The minister refers to the rumors in the capital." ”
Zhao Guangyi no longer paid attention to Zhao Pu, and since the introduction of the "Golden Alliance", Zhao Pu has become more and more reticent. Since you don't provide me with a solution, I'll appoint someone to fix it. So Zhao Guangyi called out Kaifeng Fu Yin and said, "This matter is for you, be sure to dispel the rumors." It doesn't matter what method you use. ”
Many days later, under the efforts of Yin of Kaifeng Province, "Song died at Emperor Taizong", although the voice in the capital became quieter, it spread rapidly to the surrounding areas, which meant that the situation worsened!
Yin Sheng of Kaifeng Province burst into tears: "Long live, the ministers have arrested one after another, and now the cells are overcrowded, and they can't be stuffed in, so the ministers have asked the prime minister whether to build more big prisons." ”
Zhao Pu nodded and said, "This is true, I testify." ”
Zhao Kuangyin's face was livid, Zhao Pu, since you like to testify so much, then this matter will be handed over to you, if you can't quell the rumors, you can go back to your hometown.
What Zhao Guangyi did not expect was that soon after, a new profession appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, which was created by Zhao Pu, called "Push Back Map Explainer", which was specially used to crack the secret of "Push Back Map". Zhao Pu explained that this is called blocking is not as good as guidance, only by breaking the mystery of the push back map, everything will be solved.
However, it backfired, and the song dynasty of Taizong became a topic of argument! This made Zhao Guangyi how not to be angry!
Zhao Guangyi finally understood that this menacing "push back map incident" was specifically aimed at the "Candle Shadow Axe Sound" and the "Golden Alliance". This is a problem related to the inheritance of the emperor, it cannot be solved by the group of courtiers, but can only rely on their own axes and split a road...
Zhao Guangyi thought bitterly for a long time and nodded his hand to summon several henchmen. That night, these henchmen left the palace and disappeared into the night.
Many days later, Yin Yu of Kaifeng Province reported: "Recently, there has been a sharp increase in civil brawls, and the reasons for the fights are all to prove that their "Push Back Map" is true and the other party is fake. Now that the prison was once again overcrowded, no one could go in, and the minister had asked the minister whether to build more prisons. ”
Zhao Pu nodded and said, "This is true, I prove it!" ”
However, Zhao Guangyi had already withdrawn from the DPRK ahead of schedule. In the harem secret room, Zhao Guangyi's confidants were reporting: We have long disrupted the order of the "Push Back Map" according to the emperor's orders, and printed it into a variety of different versions, which are put into the folk to buy and sell.
Zhao Guangyi smiled, dare to fight with me, not afraid that I will chop you with an axe? Now if you want to prove that Song died in Taizong, you must first prove the authenticity of the "Push back map".
Since the first step worked, the second step could not be too much delayed--sending troops to the Liao state and reclaiming Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. In this way, with the beginning of the great war of Song and Liao, Zhao Guangyi's throne was finally secured.
