In 961, Zhao Kuangyin feasted on the generals, and the generals drank freely, one by one, drunk as mud. The next day, after the crowd woke up and learned the truth about the banquet, they all scolded Zhao Kuangyin for not being rude, and directly called this banquet worse than "a glass of wine to release the military power".
Zhao Kuangyin was a relatively special founding emperor in Chinese history, and his throne was obtained through the method of "yellow robe plus body". After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who was born as a military general, understood the importance of military power in his heart, and he believed that it was not a good thing that the military power of his generals was too heavy, and only by taking back their military power could they be at ease.
Therefore, under the joint planning of Zhao Pu and others, Zhao Kuangyin staged a famous "Hongmen Banquet" in Chinese history - a glass of wine to release the military power. Through the release of military power through a glass of wine, Zhao Kuangyin successfully took back the military power of his generals, but shortly thereafter, Zhao Kuangyin realized that there was another problem that had not been solved.
It turned out that at the banquet of a glass of wine and the release of military power, Zhao Kuangyin, in order to successfully recover the military power, promised to give the generals rich material conditions, including building a luxurious mansion for them, granting them a large area of good land, and rewarding them with a lot of money.
In Zhao Kuangyin's view, using these material rewards to reclaim the military power in the hands of the generals was a very good deal. Therefore, at the banquet, Zhao Kuangyin did not think much about it, and opened his mouth and promised to give the generals a series of rewards.
Until the end of the banquet, Zhao Kuangyin's wine strength had also passed, and he asked people to carefully consider the rewards promised to the generals. The result was unexpected by Zhao Kuangyin, it turned out that these rewards added up to an astronomical amount, and with the financial resources of the imperial court at that time, it was difficult to honor these rewards.
But these rewards are promised by themselves, as the king of a country can not fulfill their promises, then the people of the country will think that the emperor is not trustworthy, which is very detrimental to their image as a monarch, to a large extent, it is not conducive to winning the hearts and minds of the people, and even in the future it is difficult to convince themselves.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin began to make trouble, and he racked his brains for this, but he never thought of a good solution. In the end, I could only call the think tanks to discuss countermeasures and express the pain in my heart. Sure enough, these think tanks were not idle people, and they came up with a good way for the emperor, that is, to set up another banquet.
Zhao Kuangyin, in accordance with the agreed plan, once again feasted on the generals in the palace, and when the generals were all seated, Zhao Kuangyin only said that he was very grateful for everyone's support, so he specially invited everyone again, hoping that the brothers would not have any worries, just drink freely, and not get drunk.
The generals listened to Zhao Kuangyin's words, and for a moment they could not see the problem, one by one, it was better to be respectful than to obey their orders, and the results were really drunk. And Zhao Kuangyin looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart blossomed, which was exactly the effect he wanted. Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Kuangyin summoned the generals' families and helped them home.
Zhao Kuangyin personally sent these generals out of the palace, and when he was parting, he said to the generals' families: "All the Aiqing just promised to donate 100,000 yuan to the imperial court at the banquet, and I am deeply pleased. "The families of these generals have no idea what just happened, they just take people home.
The next day, the drunken generals woke up and asked about the night before. The family recounted the experience of being ordered to enter the palace last night to take them back to the palace, and specifically mentioned the donation of 100,000 yuan of money to the imperial court. Hearing this, the generals were confused one by one, but they soon understood the truth of last night's banquet, and all of them scolded Zhao Kuangyin in private for being unkind, bluntly saying that last night's banquet was more pittious than the banquet of a few months ago.
Although Zhao Kuangyin did play some tricks on the heroes, Zhao Kuangyin was relatively lenient in his treatment of the heroes. Regarding this historical event, what are your views, welcome to leave a comment. #History##我要上微头条 #
