Everyone knows that Bao Zheng has always been an image of not fearing the powerful and selfless. In particular, he had the dragon head of the imperial family, the tiger head of the official, and the dog head of the common people, so that many relatives of the emperor, officials, and ordinary people died under his sword. However, the 93rd edition of "Bao Qingtian" has been subverted, and our understanding of Bao Qingtian has been subverted.
In the TV series, the Yang family is loyal, but only orphans and widows are left by Pan Renmei, but Chai Wenyi in the play cruelly kills the border guards Yang Jiasheng and Yang Laolao, Bao Zheng is forced by Taizu's will, and he has no choice but to watch him leave, the director in order to let justice overcome evil, do not let Bao Zheng resign, let the thunderbolt kill Chai Wenyi.
In the play Chai Wenyi is the eldest son of Chai Wangye, Chai Wangye in history, refers to the five generations after the Zhou Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, not only in the play Bao Zheng failed to win Chai Wenyi, that is, in the real Song Dynasty, no one dared to provoke Chai Rong, let's combine historical data, for everyone to analyze how strong Chai Rong's background is?
Chai Rong was adopted as an adopted son by his uncle Guo Wei and intended to pass the throne to Chai Rong
After the Five Dynasties period, Guo Wei, the founder of the Zhou Dynasty, had no heirs in his early years, so he adopted his nephew Chai Rong as his adopted son. Later, it was changed to the surname of Guo, and later generations still used the name of Chai Rongxi. Guo Wei was very important to Chai Rong, and when Chai Rong served as the envoy of the Liaozhou Festival, he was exempted from the burden of wool paid by the people and the service of errands. The "YuanGui of the Book" records that Guo Wei praised Chai Rong for "paying attention to the political way, although the rice salt is meticulous, unremitting in his relatives, but he will be nameless, think hard, be able to benefit the poor, and deeply sympathize with the family."
In 952, Murong Yanchao plotted a rebellion in Yanzhou, and Guo Wei planned to personally lead an army to quell the rebellion, but some people objected, and the "History of the Old Five Dynasties" records that Guo Wei said: "If it is not feasible, when the son of Yanzhou (Chai Rong) is attacked by thieves, he will do my thing," From the perspective of these two things, Guo Wei trusted and appreciated Chai Rong very much, which paved the way for the later ascension to the throne.
After Chai Rong ascended the throne, the crucial Battle of Gaoping
In the first month of the first year of the Later Zhou Dynasty (954 AD), Guo Wei died of illness, Chai Rong was the emperor, and Liu Chong, the ancestor of the Northern Han Dynasty, took advantage of Guo Wei's new death to collude with the Khitan and attack Later Zhou. Khitan reinforcements watched from the sidelines, the Northern Han army of 30,000 was defeated at Gaoping, and Liu Chong fled back to Jinyang. The Battle of Gaoping stabilized Chai Rong's throne and Later Zhou's rule.
The political and economic measures taken by Chai Rong to "rule"
After Chai Rong ascended the throne, the Zizhi Tongjian recorded: "Every time you think about the way to rule, you have not obtained what you want, and you will not forget your sleep and food." He considered himself "shallow in his dealings, not deep in his experiences, often afraid of dimness, and unable to bear the burden." Chai Rong advised the ministers, saying that "those who have false words should be short and short, and those who talk about casualties will want to stay in the middle," Chai Rong encouraged people to speak, and it did not hurt to speak wrongly.
For five generations, the penal code has been chaotic, and the "Yuan Gui of the Book" records that "the cunning of the people is not the cunning of the people, and the ruler of Gai Shuo has not yet arrived, and the official of the relatives has not been heard." After that, it is especially advisable to refine the commander.". Chai Rong refined the commander and carefully selected the following staff, as well as county orders, recorders and other local officials. He sometimes personally reviewed criminal cases to redress grievances for the people. Officials who pervert the law by taking bribes and perverting the law and expropriating and extorting tyrannically will be severely punished.
In order to achieve "zhizhi", the "History of the Old Five Dynasties" records that he was ready to "open up the world in ten years, feed the people in ten years, and bring peace to the ten years" in ten years. In order to achieve this grand goal, during his reign of more than five years, Chai Rong exerted great efforts to govern, vigorously reformed, and fought in the south and the north, opening the prelude to ending division and unifying the world.
Seize the moment to fight against the Khitans
After some rectification and reform, Later Zhou rule entered the "well-off", and Chai Rong began to attack the Qin, Feng, Jie, Chengsi Prefectures of Later Shu and the Fourteen Prefectures of Jiangbei in southern Tang, and immediately pointed the spearhead of the attack at the Liao Dynasty. In March 959, he led an army north to recover the three passes of Ying, Mo and other prefectures, and Waqiao. When Chai Rong decided to capture Youzhou, he suddenly fell ill and had to retire.
After Chai Rong's death, his fourth son Chai Zongxun succeeded to the throne, and after Chen Qiao's mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin, the Zen emperor, was given the title of "Danshu Iron Coupon"
In the sixth year of Xiande (959), Chai Rong suddenly fell ill while discussing the capture of Youzhou and died shortly afterwards. The fourth son, Chai Zongxun, succeeded to the throne, when Chai Zongxun was only 7 years old, empress Dowager Fu was in charge of the government, and Fan Qian and Wang Pu presided over the major affairs of the military state. In the seventh year of Xiande (960), after the Liao and Northern Han invasions, Chai Zongxun asked Zhao Kuangyin to lead the forbidden army to meet the enemy.
After the Chen Qiao Mutiny, Chai Zongxun ceded the throne to Zhao Kuangyin, who established the "Song", and after Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he left three testaments on a stone stele, one of which was that the descendants of the Chai clan were guilty and could not be sentenced, and if they committed rebellion, they would end up in prison, and they would not be tortured by Cao Cao, nor could they sit on their subordinates. The Emperors of the Song Dynasty basically obeyed the oath of the will. Bao Zheng did not dare to write chai Wenyi, which was from here.
