In the seventh year of Later Zhou Xiande (960 AD), Zhao Kuangyin "added yellow robes and added body" and carried out a bloodless coup d'état, "transferring" the imperial power of Later Zhou to his hands.
Although he was blessed with a great treasure, Taizu knew that his way to the throne was not right, and he had done something wrong, and in order to make the world obedient, he must first stabilize the mechanism.
The first is to stabilize the basic disk and reward one's own people for their merits.
The benefits cannot be taken up by oneself, but must be shared by everyone.
Taizu made Shi Shouxin the first meritorious hero of the founding of the country and was promoted to deputy commander of the Department of Guards and Guards, and Five others, including Gao Huaide, Zhang Lingduo, Wang Xianqi, Zhang Guanghan, and Zhao Yanhui, were also promoted to a higher rank, occupying jinwei in the forbidden army to prevent changes in the wall.
The second is to win over the centrists.
Taizu said that in the foreign armies, as long as they are willing to be the subjects of the dragon, the riches and nobility will never be far away. Murong Yanzhao, another of the capitals currently in Zhending (present-day Zhengding, Hebei), and Han Lingkun, the Marquis of Yu (equivalent to the chief of the general staff), who was on a northern tour, immediately expressed their willingness to attach themselves to Jiwei and work together in the name of meritorious service. The two of them immediately joined Ping Zhangshi with the big-ranking figures Fan Qian and Wang Pu among the former ministers, and became senior members of the "envoy" level (enjoying the treatment of prime minister).
Who would not be able to live with fame and fortune?

As far as the Edict of the Great Ancestor arrived, most of them did not violate it. However, just as the so-called Qiangang was initially determined, there were still many ambushes.
The world is not a piece of paper can be determined by a drum, there will always be different sounds.
Moreover, Taizu ascended to the throne, the means are far from Yang Ming Zhaozhao, some people feel the grace of the former dynasty, and attack with drums, which is not surprising.
The first to attack was Li Yun (李筠), the emissary of the Zhaoyi army in Lu Prefecture (潞州, in present-day Changzhi, Shanxi).
Li Yun was a military general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyi was the fourth year of Later Zhou Xiande, and Li Yun was already a servant in the first year of the first year (the rank was still above the prime minister). He and Zhou Shizong had a deep affection for the four of them, and it is said that they were "righteous and kundi". Therefore, although Taizu focused on rewarding money, he still could not consolidate his heart.
In April of the first year of Jianlong, that is, the beginning of taizu's first yuan, Li Yunshuqi rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and secretly married Han as a helper.
The reason why Li Yun dared to do this was not only because the old lord Enlong, but also because he had been a handsome man for many years, and the general of the forbidden army had a lot of friendship with him, so he was confident that if he saw Wu Jing, "he will turn against me." Although Li Yun was full of confidence in this, it backfired, and Murong Yanzhao, Han Lingkun, and other old-time robes not only did not "inspire Tianliang", but instead fully cooperated with Gao Huaide, Wang Quanbin, and other Taizu subordinates, and attacked themselves separately.
Soon, Li Yun rebelled against the Song Dynasty for only two months, that is, the city fell and committed suicide.
Li Yun's rebellion brought Taizu into the third step of the operation ahead of schedule: to fight the opposition.
It is still the first year of Jianlong. In September, another mid-level general, Huainan Jiedu, made Li Chongjin rebel again.
This time it was really serious. Li Yun was only a brother with Sejong, while Li Chongjin was the nephew of Later Zhou Taizu, the real Tianhuang Nobleman, whose appeal was by no means that Li Yun, who had abused power in the town, could be equated with it. Without delay, Li Chongjin has always been strict and orderly in his army, and he is also a rare fierce general who cut down the banner. Zhou Shizong conquered Huainan, and Li Chongjin broke through the Southern Tang army several times, and he became famous in the army. Due to the dark skin color of The Rejin, the Southern Tang Dynasty feared calling him the "Black King". In this way, Li Chongjin is indeed Taizu's fierce enemy. How to deal with it?
This time Taizu adopted a different military strategy from that of li jun. He only sent Shi Shouxin and Wang Zhenqi from the "Yishe Brothers" as the chief and deputy commanders, and the other former generals in the Forbidden Army were not appointed -- this choice was obviously made because Taizu Shang at this time was not at a loss for his own mind about whether he could defeat Li Chongjin in controlling the old generals of the Forbidden Army, so out of concern about Li Chongjin's profound influence in the Forbidden Army -- after all, the psychological burden of dealing with his old colleague Li Yun and killing the old lord's imperial relatives was completely different, and Taizu cautiously chose to "use familiarity without life." Not only that, but it may be that considering that Shi and Wang are not prestigious enough, taizu is more luan in late October. The two sides fought until November, when Li Chongjin's army defeated Yangzhou, and the whole family set themselves on fire when the city was destroyed.

Although Taizu Jianji's first year was very unstable, this did not prevent him from turning his eyes to the wider world in all directions. Taizu went through the past and found that only Zhou Taizu Guo Wei and himself had relied on the forbidden army to seize the throne twice, and among the five generations, Liang, Tang, Jin, and Han all used moderation to make Xingbing criminals, and eventually changed dynasties. Therefore, Taizu concluded that the biggest threat to shaking the imperial power since ancient times was the military power of the fanzhen. If we want to be permanent, we must completely change the situation in which the clan has been strong and weak for thousands of years. Reading this, it seems that the "cup of wine and release of military power" that has been preached through the ages is about to debut, and the chaos of the division of the clan town and the lack of access to the middle will be swept away. But how can history be so simple?
To this day, the "right to release the military with a glass of wine" has long been interpreted by history textbooks and literary scholars as if it were unfazed and unremarkable. The embarrassment and cowardice of the founding generals and the great fall of Taizu have formed a sharp contrast, and the historical image of Taizu's glorious Yunhan has become more and more tall. However, this is only a curse that is inevitable due to the psychological stubborn disease of the Chinese people's respect for greatness and ugliness.
In addition to Taizu, there were also Wang Zhenqi, Li Jixun, Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun, Liu Tingrang, and others, all of whom were brave and fierce generals who made a fierce tiger and were drunk and drunk. Although Zhao Kuangyin was favored by Emperor Shizong of Zhou before the mutiny, he actually did not have great achievements in later Zhou, his seniority was not Zhuo Shu's peers, and many military generals were not really convinced, as evidenced by the rebellion of Jianlong Erli. Moreover, even among the "righteous brothers" of Taizu Yi as Gancheng, he was not an absolute qukui.
It is reported that the "Yishe Brothers" were all subordinates of Guo Weishi in the Later Han Dynasty, and their titles were similar, so it was determined that the time of the end of the Righteousness should be in the last year of the Later Han Dynasty, but it is impossible to know who initiated it and who headed it. However, the woodcutters believe that no matter how the "Righteous Society" brothers are promoted in the future, Li Jixun always holds the highest position (it did not change until shortly before the Chen Qiao Mutiny), so it seems that Li Jixun should be the head of the "Yishe Brothers". Moreover, Shi Shouxin and Han Chongzan had also successively ranked above Zhao Kuangyin. If there was no perfect preparation, Taizu would dare to move these big men. Therefore, the strategy of the strong king to cut the domain could not be carried out in a hurry, and the wind rolled up the leaves, but Xu Shi slowed down. The first is to start with high-ranking generals who are far-flung and weak. After the conquest of Li Yun, the "Yishe Brother" Han Chongyun replaced Zhang Guanghan in taking control of the Guards Horse Army; Luo Yanhuan, who forced Fan to return to Song with a sword, replaced Zhao Yanhui and took control of the Guard Infantry Army. In February of the second year of Jianlong's reign, Murong Yanzhao, who had already been "commanded by Zhao Kuangyin to return honshu" as a festival town, saw Zhao and Zhang Zhijian, and knew that he was jealous of Taizu and that it was better to harm his whole body, so he took the opportunity of entering the Jinghe Long Spring Festival (Taizu's birthday) to play the right to relieve himself. Taizu immediately issued an edict to approve it, and conveniently stripped Han Lingkun of his military power and replaced him with another "righteous brother" Shi Shouxin.
Direct seizure of power is only one means. Because as long as it is a person, there will eventually be risks brought about by changes in thinking. Changing people is not safe, and if you don't get it right, you will drive the tiger and swallow the wolf. Therefore, even if the vassals are regarded as tigers and wolves, it is obviously impossible to think of controlling their thoughts forever. Only its wings and its claws are removed.
At this time, Zhao Pu, who had made a meritorious contribution to the "Yizan Center" in the Chen Qiao Mutiny, also gave Taizu a unique insight: For Fang Zhen, now that he is ruling it, there is no other strange coincidence, but if he seizes his power slightly, controls his money valley, and collects his elite troops, then the world will be at peace. Taizu heard of the great joy and adopted jiayin, and accordingly launched a series of fruitful actions, such as the recovery of the local public security and judicial litigation powers of the envoys, the appointment of officials, that is, the power of personnel, and the taxation of receiving land and jurisdiction (commercial tax), that is, the right of finance and taxation. With the "suspected" and powerful Jiezhen Clan being eliminated and the local judicial, financial, taxation, and personnel powers taken back by the central authorities, Taizu finally extended his hand to the "Righteous Brothers." At this time, Shi Shouxin's legal power had been reduced, his subordinates were not elected by themselves, and their power was greatly lost; they had no financial power and empty pockets, and they had truly become toothless tigers, and they had witnessed the various actions of Taizu's strong and weak branches, and their hearts were already cold. Therefore, when Taizu raised his wine glass and read out the famous "persuasion and mobilization", the former "righteous brothers" immediately fell to the ground and asked for retreat in unison. "The right to release wine by a glass of wine" is not an impromptu sketch in a textbook, but a political drama drawn by Taizu Gao!
The release of a glass of wine was just a political consolation show for the generals.
Before the real contest, Taizu yi Zhao Pu's three strategies of "slightly seizing its power, controlling its money valley, and collecting its elite troops" achieved the purpose of consolidating imperial power. It is difficult to say how Zhao Pu's above three strategies had an impact on the dynasty. But this influence is undoubtedly very deep and far-reaching. For more than three hundred years in the Zhao and Song dynasties, no matter whether the wind was smooth or the building was about to fall, it was probably not separated from its threshold and threshold.
Whether these three strategies are Taizu's ZuoMa or the caves of the descendants of the Empire have their own comments after a thousand years.
At the moment, after all, Taizu had accumulated a long-standing dream in his heart, and he could show the majesty in his chest. At this time, Taizu, who was standing at the top of the Imperial Forbidden City, could see the lights of the ten thousand homes in Kaifeng City, and it could be expected that his heart must be fierce and fierce. Now, the story of Tokyo's Bieliang has just begun.
