The lack of generals in the Northern Song Dynasty is an indisputable fact, and the general Di Qing of the Song Renzong period can be said to be a famous person, killing all four sides, perhaps only Cao Bin, who destroyed the Southern Tang during the founding period, can be compared with it. Di Young's brother was guilty of the crime, his face was tattooed, which became the symbol of his life, in order not to affect the national prestige, he had to bring a bronze mask to the battlefield, not only was his personal martial arts superb, every time he was a pioneer, charging into the battlefield, and proficient in the art of war, the command ability of the troops was extremely strong, and Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia who fought was subservient. Later, the Guangyuan Prefecture Barbarian Zhigao rebellion, Lingnan shook, and the Song Ren Sect sent several generals to the past, all of which ended in failure.
Song Renzong had no choice but to hurriedly dispatch Di Qing to kill the enemy and personally set up a banquet to send him off. After Di Qing arrived, he quickly defeated the rebels, pursued and killed the thieves for fifty miles, beheaded thousands of levels, and captured more than 50 thieves alive. A generation of famous generals Di Qing created a miracle in this regard, and was promoted to privy councillor for the first time, equivalent to the minister of national defense, a position that has been held by Wen Chen since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. This appointment directly became Di Qing's catalyst. The courtiers of the Chinese immediately exploded the pot and shot cold arrows at Di Qing, Who was overwhelmed and invincible, and a generation of famous generals did not die on the battlefield, but died under the soft knives of these courtiers, which was sad and lamentable.
Prime Minister Pang Bi took the lead in firing cannons, saying that since taizu founded the country, no military general had served as a privy councillor, and Di Qing had broken the rules and must step down. Ignoring Di Qing's request, Han Qi, a famous minister of the generation, killed jiao, a small general. Kaifeng was flooded, and Di Qing's family was forced to move to live in the main hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and after Receiving the report, Han Qi directly asked whether the person sitting on the hall was wearing yellow clothes? Kaifeng City implemented a strict curfew system, there can be no fire after midnight, but one day, Di Qing's family sacrifice burned paper, the servants were careless, forgot to extinguish the fire, resulting in Di Qing's home fire bursting into the sky, this matter was spread to the gods, saying that Di Qing's family had a different appearance, there was a possibility of becoming an emperor. The mouths were golden, and Di Qing was indefensible. Di Qing treated his soldiers like relatives, and every time he received welfare, the officers and soldiers said that it was given by the Di family's grandfather, but this matter reached the emperor's ears but it became Di Qing's use of the state to buy people's hearts and plot against him.
To Di Qing's death was given to the Five Dynasties Prime Minister Wen Yanbo. Wen Yanbo suggested that Emperor Renzong of Song should place Di Qing as an envoy to the two towns. Di Qing complained and defended himself, and Song Renzong also said that Di Qing was a loyal subject. Wen Yanbo directly asked, wasn't Taizu a loyal vassal of Zhou Shizong? As soon as these words came out, it could be said that a sword sealed his throat and directly cut off Di Qing's back road. Song Renzong decided to distribute it. Wen Yanbo told Di Qing that the imperial court doubted you! As soon as Di Qing heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't stand still and took a few steps back. He immediately proposed to Emperor Renzong of Song to take up the post of Chen Prefecture. After the 49-year-old Di Qing arrived in Chenzhou, his life was trembling, and he had to deal with two waves of eunuchs every month to monitor him, his mood was extremely heavy, he was overwhelmed, and a large poisonous sore appeared on the corner of his mouth, and finally the poisonous gas spread throughout his body, and he died in less than half a year. While creating a miracle of a small soldier becoming a privy councillor, Di Qing also dug a big pit for himself, because it was a different kind of existence, completely subverting the northern Song Dynasty's habit of emphasizing literature and light weapons, and was attacked by all the courtiers, even if Song Renzong did not kill him, these civilian officials would try their best to kill him. Di Qing's greatest sorrow was that he was born in the wrong era.
