After Chen Qiaoyi's mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin took the capital in one day. After stabilizing the situation, Zhao Kuangyin began to reward his generals. But in this reward, there were several edicts that surprised everyone. But after careful consideration, it makes people sigh, it is not unreasonable that Zhao Kuangyin can become the final winner!
Next, let's talk about the story.
To tell the story of this, we must start with two groups of people, one is the two hundred pawns who guarded the gate of Chen Qiao, and the people of Hou Zhou. One is Wang Yansheng, Zhao Kuangyin, who served as the commander of the scattered staff.
Let's first talk about the two hundred pawns guarding the city gate, one surnamed Lu and the other surnamed Qiao.
After Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiaoyi added yellow robes, he immediately led his troops back to the capital, preparing to force the little emperor to abdicate the throne. But when he walked to the city gate, the two pawns guarding the Chen Bridge gate said that they would not open the door.
If you want to open the door, you must take out the emperor's edict.
Imagine the scene at that time, Zhao Kuangyin with tens of thousands of horses surrounded under the city gate, and people without a little psychological endurance could not bear it at all. But these two pawns just don't open the door.
At that time, Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates were anxious and proposed to directly break through the city gate and enter the palace.
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head after hearing this, he didn't want to cause panic among the officials and people in the city, let alone have a frontal conflict with Hou Zhou's diehard fans. So he turned his horse's head and went to another gate, intending to try his luck.
Who thought that as soon as the army reached another gate, the official guarding the gate immediately obediently opened the gate. Zhao Kuangyin's army immediately rushed in and directly surrounded the palace.
This is one of them, and then the second thing.
After entering the city, Zhao Kuangyin instructed his subordinates to treat the officials at all levels of the Later Zhou court well and not to kill people.
As a result, Wang Yansheng, who served as the commander of the scattered staff, was simply a two-hundred-and-five, and did not take Zhao Kuangyin's advice seriously at all, and turned around and killed people.
If he killed an ordinary person, maybe Zhao Kuangyin turned a blind eye and passed, but he killed the second-in-command in charge of soldiers and horses in Houzhou, and his rights were second only to Zhao Kuangyin. Isn't this a mess to smear Zhao Kuangyin!
Speaking of which, I will briefly say two words about the power deployment of the central army in the next week.
First of all, the central military power is divided into two systems, one is the front division of the palace in front of the palace, and the other is the guard division of the commander of the horse infantry army. Zhao Kuangyin was the chief inspector of the front of the palace at that time, and Wang Yansheng killed the deputy commander of the guards and horse infantry army of the guard division. This person's name is Han Tong, he is also a famous general with both wisdom and courage, and he has done an excellent job in handling civil affairs work.
Han Tong has a son who suffers from rickets and is bent over all year round. Although his appearance is not good, he has inherited his father's excellent genes and has a very smart mind. He saw early signs that Zhao Kuangyin was recruiting talents and plotting to seize power. But his father Han Tong didn't believe it, and said in his heart that he worked together on weekdays, and Zhao Kuangyin was an honest person no matter how he looked. Being a person and doing things is also respectful and humble, and he is careful everywhere, how can such a person have the mind to seize power!
Who undertook to think of the blink of an eye, people came with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to kill.
Besides, this Wang Yansheng, at that time, he did not specifically run to kill Han Tong, and the two met halfway to the road.
Han Tong saw that it was Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates, turned his head and ran. Wang Yansheng saw that it was an official of Houzhou and chased him directly.
Han Tong originally planned to run home and discuss with his son to transfer troops to counterattack Zhao Kuangyin, but he did not know that he was already a turtle in an urn and a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Bang" kicked the door, Wang Yansheng killed Han Tong's house, and without saying a word, he slaughtered dozens of people from all over the Han family.
After learning the news, Zhao Kuangyin didn't hit a place, and pointed at Wang Yansheng's nose was a stinky curse. Wang Yansheng was not convinced, and said in his heart that he had clearly removed the biggest obstacle in your Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, if you don't thank me, why do you still scold me!
Zhao Kuangyin was too lazy to talk so much to Wang Yansheng, and ordered that Han Tong be posthumously presented with a Zhongshu order, and he would be buried in accordance with the courtesy of the prime minister.
A few days later, in order to commend his subordinate generals, Zhao Kuangyin added more than a dozen officials to the knighthood, but Wang Yansheng only gave it to minor officials. Seeing the result of this reward, Wang Yansheng angrily lifted the table at home, and then took a group of people to the house of the official in Houzhou, found an excuse and began to blackmail.
Or say that this Wang Yansheng is a two hundred and five, specifically looking for thunder to step on.
It was not good for him to go to anyone's house, but he ran to the house of Later Zhou Prime Minister Wang Pu to blackmail. Wang Yansheng walked on the front foot here, and Wang Pu ran to Zhao Kuangyin on the back foot to complain.
After Zhao Kuangyin found out, he almost cut off Wang Yansheng's head in anger. But Nian followed his birth and death for so many years, and finally went to Tangzhou to make a stabbing history, and never let him enter Beijing as an official again.
Although Wang Yansheng can be depressed for a lifetime, Wang Pu and the officials who stayed behind to continue working for Zhao Kuangyin in Houzhou did breathe a sigh of relief.
Turning to the hundred pawns guarding the city gates.
It stands to reason that these two hundred pawns blocked Zhao Kuangyin's plan to raise troops, and there should have been, but instead of ordering the two, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to reward the two for their dedication and regarded them as models.
However, these two people were indeed loyal to Hou Zhou, and the two hanged themselves before receiving Zhao Kuangyin's letter of commendation.
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he sighed: "What a loyal child!" ”
Since then, the guards of Chen Qiaomen have been known as the "children's class". Behind their military caps were two more turbans, one cyan and one red. The cyan representative served the Later Zhou emperor, and the red representative congratulated Zhao Kuangyin on his accession to the throne.
