Shi Shouxin and Zhao Kuangyin married Jinlan
Brotherly emotions are precious, and brothers look after each other. If a person leaves his parents and brothers and travels far, it is difficult to enjoy the warmth and true feelings between his brothers. As a result, adults began to marry Jinlan, that is, brothers with different surnames, there is no blood relationship, but they are better than brothers.
Chinese the level of creating words is always high, the "gold" of the righteous knot jinlan refers to the heart of both sides, the purity of the two hearts of the brothers is more precious and more durable than gold, and the reason why gold is expensive is pure and eternal. The "orchid" of the righteous knot golden orchid refers to the words of both sides, and the fragrance is like an orchid, quiet and elegant.
With the purity of gold, the fragrance of orchids, and the foundation of worship with righteousness. Although the original intention is beautiful, the implementation is always unreal. In reality, people who are righteously married to Jinlan are often alliances of interests and have little to do with thoughts and emotions. Shi Shouxin and Zhao Kuangyin's righteous knot Jinlan is a covenant of interests. When Zhao Kuangyin mutinied, the city of Bieliang was easily taken without spending a single soldier. The gates of Bieliang Castle were opened by order of Shi Shouxin, who was the former commander of the Houzhou Temple, the highest military commander stationed in Kyoto.
The basic military force of Zhao Kuangyin's campaign against the Song Dynasty was the "Yishe", with a total of 10 Later Zhou generals, also known as the "Ten Brothers of the Yishe". Zhao Kuangyin is the head of this organization, which is a brother worshipper with righteousness as the first priority, and the slogan is: There are difficulties to share, and there are blessings to share. At this time, if we take the theory of official position, Shi Shouxin is higher than Zhao Kuangyin, and in the theory of charm, Zhao Kuangyin is the soul figure and spiritual belief of the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society".
The story of the release of military power by a cup of wine is known to women and children, but there are many who know one and few who know the two. As a result, folk hobbies take Zhao Kuangyin's "cup of wine to release military power" as a reference case, highlighting Zhao Kuangyin's benevolence and kindness, and accusing the founding emperors of successive generations of cruelty to the founding generals, such as Zhu Yuanzhang's blue jade, such as Liu Bang's curse on Han Xin, most of the elements of obscenity, and the real elements are few. The object of Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release military power is not an ordinary general, nor is it a general who relies on the late stage of military merit, the object of "cup wine to release military power" is the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society", who are brothers who burn incense and worship a Buddha, but Shi Shouxin is the closest to Zhao Kuangyin.
After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shi Shouxin was the third general to establish the festival, and the jianjie was the abbreviation of the festival envoy, the peak of the honor of the song dynasty military general. Sima Xiang said in the biography that Jianjie was to replace the emperor to hold the festival and establish the festival; in practical terms, the general who built the festival had the power to restrain the generals of the same rank. Jianjie mostly refers to foreign ministers, and if the imperial relatives and nobles have rich military merits, they can be crowned kings, and people with foreign surnames are generally not allowed to be crowned kings. General A established a festival and led 300,000 soldiers and horses, and General B did not build a festival, leading 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the salary was the same, B needed to obey A. In the ancient unspoken rules, the king is greater than the festival, and the festival is greater than all the generals. But it is only a basic situation, if the prince who is crowned the king has no size of merit, then the founder of the festival is psychologically higher than the king.
After Shi Shouxin established the festival, he retreated to the second line. Zhao Kuangyin governed the country full of cousins, and the major affairs of the military state could not be discussed. If the two rows of people standing in the front row of the Golden Ruan Hall were the second, third, and fourth brothers, Zhao Kuangyin's prestige would be difficult to establish. Shi Shouxin is a person with extraordinary wisdom and deep understanding of social rules, Shi Shouxin said that in order to support his eldest brother, he is willing to surrender his military power and return to the mansion. History needs to be revisited, otherwise it is easy to obstruct the eyes, Zhao Kuangyin is not kind to the founding heroes, but to the brother of Yijie Jinlan. Coincidentally, Zhao Kuangyin had difficulties and shared blessings, and the brother of Jinlan was officially replaced by Zhou and established the core strength of Song. These are two concepts, and the difference is thousands of miles.
Shi Shouxin practices Zhao Kuangyin's hedonistic values
After Shi Shouxin left the center of state power, the great general who had been a great enemy of ten thousand enemies in the Northern Song Dynasty had no chance to guide the country. After Zhao Kuangyin's death, Emperor Taizong of Song succeeded to the throne, and Emperor Taizong of Song briefly used Shi Shouxin, and in the Battle of Liao, Shi Shouxin also participated, but as a military aide, he was no longer a big man with a handsome seal. Shi Shou was confident and broad-minded, and he quickly accepted his dual identity as the face of the Song Dynasty royalty and the scraps of military power. Watching the juniors of the military camp sit in the position of commander, the grumpy general had already been furious, and Shi Shouxin accepted everything lightly.
From saving battle achievements on the battlefield to accumulating treasures in the official field, Shi Shouxin changed without any sense of awkwardness, and his free-will posture made Song Taizu ashamed. Shi Shouxin ascended to a realm that was higher than the apex of the emperor's expectations. Shi Shouxin's sensible behavior was one nile longer than the limit of Zhao Kuangyin's psychological expectations. Shi Shouxin did not leave his post for 17 consecutive years during the tenure of the Tianping Army (present-day Dongping, Shandong) Jiedu, "specializing in accumulating and accumulating huge sums of money".
Take the initiative to avoid suspicion, self-judge the suspicion of the emperor, and do not let the former brother Long Yan be angry. Shi Shouxin has not moved his nest in the Shandong mansion for 17 years, and he has not left Shandong for 17 years, which shows Shi Shouxin's patience and endurance. Sima Yi evaded Cao Cao's suspicions and hid for more than 10 years, finally rising to establish the Sima Dynasty. Unlike Sima Yi, Shi Shouxin hid Shandong without purpose, and Shi Shouxin had no desire to make a comeback. As mentioned earlier, Shi Shouxin changed from saving battle achievements on the battlefield to accumulating treasures in Shandong, and he changed calmly and calmly, actively practicing the hedonistic values arranged by Zhao Kuangyin for the righteous knot Jinlan.
The truth of the world is not black and white, and the world always classifies Shi Shouxin into two ports, one end pointing to self-willed depravity, and the other pointing to Mingzhe to protect himself. Perhaps Shi Shouxin's inner monologue is the third port, called Lede. Not everyone wants to live with the sun and the moon and use up the world's talents. The glorious mountains of the big people, the fly camp of the little people. Shi Shouxin was lying in a mansion in Shandong, wandering in the money nest, although his heart was empty, he seemed to be grateful for the proper arrangement of Zhao Kuangyin.
If so, there is evidence. Shi Shouxin served as the Marquis of Yu in the first year of Guo Wei's reign as emperor of later Zhou, and Zhao Kuangyin was initially promoted after Guo Wei's death and Guo Wei's nephew Chai Rong succeeded to the throne. However, their friendship was extremely deep when Guo Wei was in place, and if Shi Shouxin had a deep sense of utilitarianism, he should strive upwards, rather than condescending to have a deep friendship with Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was only given the post of inspector of the palace before Chai Rong's death, and Shi Shouxin was already a leader in guarding the palace with heavy troops at that time. If Shi Shouxin was ambitious, it would be easier for him to claim the title of emperor on behalf of The Emperor, so why should he open the city gate to pick up Zhao Kuangyin.
Shi Shouxin, the practice of understanding has been pure fire, the skill of saving life has been exquisite, and the rate of change has been stunned. Only in this way can Shi Shouxin's heirs and Shi Baoxing also be made dukes, and future generations are prominent. Colleagues saw that Shi Shouxin was honest and had no ambition, but he did not know that he broke the Western Xia, took charge of the forbidden army, and made a meritorious contribution for the Northern Song Dynasty, or the old man who was now the face of the Northern Song Dynasty and the military power of the old man - Shi Shouxin.
In his twilight years, Shi Shouxin had no complaints or regrets, was content with Zhao Kuangyin and Jinlan, willingly yielded when he released his military power with a glass of wine, did not compete or compete, and was single-minded when gathering wealth in Shandong. If he did it again, Shi Shouxin said that he would still open the gate of The Gate of Bieliang and greet Zhao Kuangyin, my righteous brother Jinlan.
Shi Shouxin and Zhao Kuangyin, Yang Guangyi, Li Jixun, Wang Xianqi, Liu Qingyi, Liu Shouzhong, Liu Tingrang, Han Chongyun, and Wang Zhengzhong were the ten brothers of the Yishe.
