Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a glass of wine, why didn't he reuse Fu Yanqing? I have already seen that my brother is not a good child
Five generations and ten countries, the world is in turmoil, and heroes have emerged. Zhao Kuangyin, an ambitious general, eventually overcame obstacles and established the Great Song Dynasty. However, his path to statecraft after his accession to the throne was not all smooth sailing. In the game of power, he skillfully used the strategy of releasing military power with a glass of wine, successfully recovered military power in various places, and stabilized the centralization of power. However, in this process, there is a famous general who has not been reused by Zhao Kuangyin, and he is Fu Yanqing.
Fu Yanqing, a name in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, he is a battle-hardened general with outstanding military achievements, known as "invincible in the world". However, it is such a famous general, but in the eyes of Zhao Kuangyin, there is another side. Zhao Kuangyin knows that although Fu Yanqing is loyal to the country, his ambition and desire for power cannot be ignored.
At a banquet, Zhao Kuangyin and Fu Yanqing sat opposite each other. At the banquet, the two drank and talked happily, and they seemed to be intimate. However, between the staggering, Zhao Kuangyin keenly observed the unwillingness and ambition in Fu Yanqing's eyes. He knew in his heart that this famous general was not a person who was content with the status quo.
Zhao Kuangyin's doubts are not groundless. He had already heard that Fu Yanqing was extremely brave on the battlefield, but politically he was a little difficult to control. He is good at making friends with powerful people, winning people's hearts, and trying to expand his sphere of influence. In Zhao Kuangyin's view, these actions are a threat to centralized power.
In the process of releasing military power with a glass of wine, Zhao Kuangyin's attitude towards Fu Yanqing became more and more clear. He did not include Fu Yanqing in the list of reuse, but let him continue to serve as the local festival envoy. This decision is not only a respect and trust for Fu Yanqing, but also a constraint and prevention against his ambitions.
However, Zhao Kuangyin's decision was not understood by everyone. Some felt that he was too cautious and conservative and missed the opportunity to reuse a famous player; Others, however, believe that his decision was wise and avoided possible civil strife and crisis.
In order to have a deeper understanding of the reasons behind Zhao Kuangyin's decision, we can analyze it from the following aspects:
Political considerations: As a politician, Zhao Kuangyin is well aware of the importance and danger of power. He understands that although Fu Yanqing is an excellent general, his ambition and desire for power cannot be ignored. If Fu Yanqing is reused, once his ambitions swell, it is likely to pose an unpredictable threat to the country.
The way of employing people: Zhao Kuangyin has his own unique views on employing people. He values the loyalty and reliability of talent, not just talent and merit. Although Fu Yanqing is talented, his political performance makes Zhao Kuangyin feel uneasy. Zhao Kuangyin believes that an unloyal general is more dangerous than a general who has no talent.
Historical experience: Before Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he experienced a chaotic period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms. He knows very well how much disaster the generals with heavy armies will bring to the country once they lose control. As a result, he is very cautious about controlling power, and is reluctant to hand over important military power to those who may threaten the stability of the country.
To sum up, Zhao Kuangyin did not reuse Fu Yanqing in the process of releasing military power with a glass of wine, not because Fu Yanqing had no talent or insufficient merits, but because his ambition and desire for power made Zhao Kuangyin feel uneasy. Although this decision caused some controversy and speculation, it laid the foundation for Zhao Kuangyin to consolidate centralized power and ensure the stability of the country.
The question arises: in a game of thrones, loyalty and ambition often go hand in hand. If you were Zhao Kuangyin, in the face of a general like Fu Yanqing, would you choose to reuse him or restrain him? Why? There may be no definitive answer to this question, but it will undoubtedly lead us to think deeply about power and human nature.
