Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, wen and wu, originally a general under Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, after Chai Rong's death, Zhao Kuangyin mutinied through Chen Qiao, the yellow robe was added, and the Great Song was established. However, Zhao Kuangyin, who was the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, was also wronged in his early years.
Zhao Kuangyin was born quite well, even after the door, so he was armed with martial arts, and his ambition was also to be able to make meritorious achievements. For the sake of ideals, he went out and wandered.
After that, he defected to Wang Yanchao, the envoy of Fuzhou Defense, and thought that this father's former colleague would reuse himself, but he did not expect that in exchange for only ten yuan of money, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to invest elsewhere. Later, Zhao Kuangyin was reused by Guo Wei and made meritorious achievements, and when Chai Rong was in, he even achieved the inspection in front of the palace, and then ascended to the throne through mutiny.
Zhao Kuangyin
Why didn't Wang Yanchao take Zhao Kuangyin in? There are two possibilities, the first is as the history books say, because Wang Yanchao had a similar experience when he was young. Wang Yanchao once worshiped Hui Daoist as a teacher and became a monk. The Hui Daoists saw that he was a noble man, so they gave him money and sent him away. "Emperor Huimingzong ascended the throne, and after he was killed, he fled left and right, and Yan Chao was an apprentice of the monks of Fengxiang Chongyun Mountain. Hui Shan guan ren, yan chao yue: "Son, rich and noble people, can you live here for a long time?" 'Give it to the treasurer.' "There is also the second kind of looking down on him, people are in human feelings, people are cold when they go to tea, poor people are in the downtown area, and rich people have distant relatives in the mountains." At that time, Wang Yanchao may not have put Zhao Kuangyin in his heart, a young man, and thought of sending him away.
Fortunately, Wang Yanchao looked away, otherwise under his wings, he would be a similar general, and that was all.
So, when Zhao Kuangyin won the world, how did he treat Wang Yanchao?
Wang Yanchao was first enfeoffed with the Zhongshu Ling, and then by the JieduShi
Wang Yanchao was 13 years older than Zhao Kuangyin and was an old subordinate of Zhao Kuangyin's father, Zhao Hongyin. Although Zhao Kuangyin was not taken in, Zhao Kuangyin did not blame him, why? The reason is simple, because this person's ability is really good, he has a hand in leading soldiers to fight, and he is not weak in government affairs management.
In the first year of Jianlong (960), the famous "Chen Qiao Mutiny" occurred, and Zhao Kuangyin became the Ninth Five-Year Emperor. For his father's old subordinates, Zhao Kuangyin was transferred from Fengxiang to the imperial court and served as Zhongshu Ling.
Wang Yanchao
Then, from Fengxiang Jiedushi to the capital as Zhongshu Ling, was Wang Yanchao's official position high or low? From the official point of view, it seems to be high. However, the power that Zhongshu Ling could control did not have much moderation.
After gaining power, people always have to think of ways to find the face they lost, and Zhao Kuangyin is no exception. "Taizu and Yan Chao had an old relationship, and because of their luck in the workshop, they summoned their courtiers to feast and drink, and Yan Chao said: 'Qing used to be in Fuzhou, and he went to YiQing, why don't you accept me?' Yan Chao lowered his steps to the first moment: "How can the spoon of water stop the divine dragon Yes!" On that day His Majesty did not stay in the small county, Gai Angel Raner. The emperor laughed. The next day, Yan Chao was appointed to the guilt, and the emperor sent an envoy to comfort him and order him to go to the Hajj. In the second year of Qiande (964), Zhao Kuangyin made Wang Yanchao the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedushi again, and it seems that Zhao Kuangyin completely trusted Wang Yanchao.
Zhao Kuangyin was always not thin towards Wang Yanchao, and Wang Yanchao was made a duke by Emperor Taizong of Song in his later years
After Zhao Kuangyin took the throne, he often worried that a scene that was once familiar would happen again, which scene? After the establishment of the Guo Wei mutiny, he mutinied himself to establish the Great Song.
In order to prevent the recurrence of the past, Zhao Kuangyin came to a wave of "cups of wine to release military power" in the second year of Jianlong (961), and Shi Shouxin and others were disarmed and returned to the field.
In the second year of Kaibao (969), Zhao Kuangyin continued to reduce the power of important military generals, this time zhao Kuangyin summoned Wang Yanchao to join the court at the same time as An Yuanjun Jiedu to make Wu Xingde and guo Congyi to the Protectorate Army. Going to the court, Zhao Kuangyin took over the military power of the people in three strokes and five divisions. After Wang Yanchao's military power was confiscated, he was renamed the general of the Right King's Guard and sentenced to street battles.
It can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin is still not thin to Wang Yanchao!
Under zhao kuangyin's rule, Wang Yanchao's fate was like this, although he did not rank above ten thousand people under one person, but he also had a tasteful life, rich and noble could enjoy, and safety could be guaranteed.
Zhao Guangyi
Unfortunately, in the ninth year of Kaibao (976), Zhao Kuangyin died, and Zhao Guangyi rose to a high position, which was Song Taizong.
Wang Yanchao was very fortunate to recognize him very much during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song. In the sixth year of the Taiping Revival (981), Wang Yanchao was awarded the title of Duke of Yingguo. Being a duke is definitely not an easy thing, which is the highest treatment after the "king", and the king can generally only be a royal child. Therefore, Wang Yan is an extremely powerful person, with good ability and even more extraordinary luck.
In the third year of Yongxi (986), Wang Yanchao died of illness at the age of 73.
Although, when he was young, Wang Yanchao did not recognize pearls and sent Zhao Kuangyin out. But the luck was to meet Zhao Kuangyin, who had a broad heart, and then met Zhao Guangyi, who recognized him. This allowed him to enjoy the glory and wealth, and his life was safe and worry-free.
