The Book of Adventures: The source of chaos in the Song Dynasty was hidden in pig breeding | Vernacular "Wisdom Tank" 05

Li Shu had pacified Caizhou and escorted Wu Yuanji to the Jing Division, where he was stationed at Juchang, waiting for Pei Du to enter the city. After Pei Du entered the city, Li Hu prepared to greet him and met on the left side of the road. Pei Du wanted to avoid him. Li Shu said: "The people of Caizhou have been stubborn and obedient, and they have not understood the distinction between superiority and inferiority for decades. I hope you will show them through this meeting and let them know the dignity of the imperial court. "[The intention is far-reaching. Pei Du then accepted his greeting.

Suzong's son Li Qi the Prince of Jianning had a wise and decisive personality, and he was talented. He followed Emperor Suzong to the north from Ma Wei, the number of soldiers was small and weak, and he encountered many robbers, and Li Qi personally selected brave soldiers to protect Emperor Suzong before and after, and fought bloody battles to defend Emperor Suzong. Emperor Suzong sometimes did not eat after the time, Li Qi was so sad that he could not control himself, and the army gathered their eyes to look at him, Emperor Suzong wanted Li Qi to be the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, let him lead the generals on the crusade, Li Yu said: "King Jianning is indeed a marshal's talent; However, King Guangping is the elder brother, if King Jianning succeeds, will King Guangping become Wu Taibo? Emperor Suzong said: "King Guangping is the eldest son of Yan, why should he pay attention to the marshal?" Li Yu said: "King Guangping has not yet taken the throne of the East Palace, and now the world is difficult, and everyone is watching, it lies in the marshal, if King Jianning has achieved great success, although His Majesty does not want to regard him as the deputy of the crown prince, is the person who has made meritorious contributions willing to give up?" This is the case with Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taishang. Emperor Suzong then made Li Li the King of Guangping the marshal of the world, and all the generals obeyed him. After hearing this, Li Qi thanked Li Yu and said, "This was originally my idea. ”

During Bai Qi's reign in Zhenyuan, someone in Xianyang reported that he had seen Bai Qi and asked the imperial court to play a cloud: "Please defend the western frontier for the country, Tubo will definitely attack in a big way." Soon Tubo came to invade, was defeated and retreated. Dezong thought it was true and wanted to build a temple for him in the capital and posthumously give Bai Qi as Situ. Li Yu said: "I heard that 'the country will prosper, listen to the people.'" Now that the marshal will make meritorious contributions, and His Majesty's praise is in vain, I am afraid that the side will not disintegrate. Moreover, in the capital to build a temple, vigorous sacrifices, spread in all directions, will summon witch wind. I heard that Du You has an old ancestral hall, please ask the Imperial Decree County to repair it, it will not be surprising. Suzong followed his advice.

When Emperor Taizu of Song had just been elected emperor, the gatekeeper of Chen Qiao refused to let him in, so he went to Fengqiu Gate, and the officials guarding the pass saw him and opened the city gate. When he ascended the throne, he killed the officials of Fengqiumen and rewarded the Chen Qiao gatekeepers who helped him in recognition of his loyalty.

Shangchibu Song Taizu He Zhen

During the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng period, Wang Cheng and Chen Zhongyu of Guangdong rebelled. He Zhen, a native of Dongguan, appealed to Xingxiang, raised troops to suppress the rebellion, and captured Chen Zhongyu and handed him over to the government. Wang Cheng, on the other hand, built a camp to defend himself, and failed to conquer the siege for a long time. He Zhen offered a reward of 10,000 money, looking for someone who could capture Wang Cheng. So Wang Cheng's slave tied him up and handed him over to He Zhen, who smiled and said to Wang Cheng: "How can you raise a tiger?" Wang Cheng apologized ashamedly. The slave asked for a reward, and He Zhen gave him everything. He Zhen asked people to prepare the soup wok and fix it to the runner. Wang Cheng was so scared that he thought he was going to cook himself. But He Zhen tied the slave to the soup wok, urged him to kill him, and asked several people to beat the drum cart and declare to everyone: "If there is a slave kidnapping the master, please see this!" "People admire He Zhen's methodical reward and punishment, and Lingnan is all attached to him.

[Comment] Gaozu killed Duke Ding but rewarded Xiang Bo, and the reward and punishment were uneven; Guangwu sealed the head of the sky as an unrighteous marquis, let alone teach a lesson. He Zhen should be the right example.

Shangchibe Song Taizu

　At the beginning, Taizu said to Zhao Pu: "In the decades since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor has changed ten surnames, and there have been constant wars, what is the reason?" Zhao Pu said: "This is due to the fact that the power of the Jiedu envoy is too great, the emperor is weak, and the courtiers are strong, and now as long as their power is slightly weakened, their money and grain are restricted, and their elite soldiers are collected, then the world will naturally be stable." Before Zhao Pu finished speaking, Taizu said, "You don't need to say it, I already understand." Soon, Taizu and his old friend Shi Shouxin and others drank, and when the alcohol was strong, Taizu retreated from the people on the left and right and said to Shi Shouxin and the others: "Without your help, I would not be able to reach the current status." Remembering your kindness, endlessly. However, being the Son of Heaven is also very difficult, far less than the joy of being a temperance. I can't sleep well every night now. Shi Shouxin and the others asked, "Why?" Taizu said, "It's not hard to understand. Who wouldn't want to try it for someone who is in the position of the Son of Heaven? Shi Shouxin and the others all kowtowed in trepidation and said, "Why did Your Majesty say such a thing? Taizu said, "No, although you have no intention, but the people under you want to be rich, and one day they will add yellow robes to you, although they don't want to do it, they can't refuse." Shi Shouxin and the others then kowtowed and wept and said, "We are too stupid to think of this, I hope His Majesty will pity us and show us a way to live." Taizu said: "Life is like a white horse passing through the gap, the pursuit of wealth is just a little more money, to support yourself and your family, so that your children and grandchildren will not be impoverished." Why don't you give up your military power, choose a good field house to buy, build a permanent inheritance for your children and grandchildren, add more songs and dancers, drink and drink every day, and spend the rest of your lives happily. Isn't it also good that there is no suspicion among monarchs and courtiers? Shi Shouxin and the others all claimed to be ill the next day and asked for the dismissal of military power.

During the Xining period, the alley where the workshop was located was curved and narrow, and the workshop asked the imperial court to make it wider. Since this is the place where Taizu founded, Shenzong should have foresight and disagree. Soon after, many workers worked hard, armed with weapons to snatch the door and make trouble. A veteran closed the door and didn't let it out, but finally didn't come out. The craftsmen in the workshop were all captured after being captured.

One day while walking in the back garden, Shinzong saw a pig herder and asked, "What are you for?" The pig herder said: "Since Taizu, it has often been called pig raising, which is killed from the young to the very large, and then raised the small one." It hasn't changed for several dynasties, and I don't know what use it is. "Shenzong ordered to stop raising pigs and killing pigs, and more than a month later, he suddenly caught a demon in the palace and wanted to pour pig blood on him, but there was no pig blood. Only then did I understand the foresight of the ancestors.

Some people believe that the weakness of the Song Dynasty began with the reduction of the power of the Jiedu envoy. The strength of the Jiedu envoy was not a manifestation of the strength of the Song Dynasty. Strong and weak branches are the foundation of a nation. Two hundred years of maladies, talk and laughter to get rid of it. The entire Song Dynasty did not have the trouble of strong ministers, isn't this a trick to change the sky? If it were not for the monarchs stealing peace between the monarchs and courtiers, then Kou Zhun, Li Gang, and Zhao Ding would have used them with ease. Will this be weak?

The general Da persecuted Emperor Yuan in Kaiping, missing a corner of the siege and letting him escape. Chang Kaiping was angry because he lost his great achievements. The great general said: "Although he is an Yidi, he once ruled the world. And what should our emperor do with him? Do you want to divide a piece of land to him, or do you want him to feel satisfied? Since it doesn't work, then it is convenient to let him go after all. Chang Kaiping still didn't understand. When he returned to the capital to report to the emperor, the emperor did not add guilt.

[Translated by Feng]

This saved Taizu a lot of calculations. However, the reason why the great general dared to let Emperor Yuan go was because he knew in advance the breadth of the holy virtue. How do you know that? It is known from the fact that Yao sealed Emperor Shun and pardoned Chen Li as a marquis and did not kill him.

Shangzhibu Sima Guang

Vietnam paid tribute to a strange beast that they called "Lin". Sima Gong said: "I don't know if this is true or false. If it is true, but it did not come to the Central Plains by himself, it is not considered a symbol of good luck; If it is fake, it will make the Vietnamese in the distance laugh at us. I hope that the emperor will reward them well, and then let them bring this beast back. ”

[Feng Shu Comment]

From this matter, I know the stupidity of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wudi of Han.
