Zhongchen has always been a good word in China, but in the early years of the Song Dynasty, Zhongchen was a very awkward word, and it was best not to mention it easily.
But whenever it comes to mentioning who is loyal to whom, there is certainly no problem, there will immediately be a sentence, the strongest rebuttal, our emperor is also a loyal subject of Chai Rong.
This sentence that can make Zhao Kuangyin feel the goods on his face is indeed the truth, Chai Rong is indeed a loyal confidant, and his confidant is Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was a majestic emperor, if he could live for ten more years, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures would be able to fight down, and then there was nothing wrong with Zhao Kuangyin, but unfortunately, the heavens did not go according to people's wishes, and Chai Rong, who was in his prime, suddenly fell ill.
The sudden illness of the emperor was a big thing for ancient society, but for Chai Rong's time, it was a fatal event, because there had been many times before, and after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, there were rebellions and massacres.
Mutual distrust and suspicion between kings and subjects have formed a vicious circle in five generations, and there seems to be no end in sight, and when it is time to repay each other.
After much deliberation, Chai Rong still handed over most of the forbidden army to Zhao Kuangyin, because there were rumors that the inspection was the son of heaven, so Chai Rong deposed Zhang Yongde, who was in front of the palace at that time, and let Zhao Kuangyin do this post, he believed that Zhao Kuangyin's loyal subjects would not rebel.
To some extent, Chai Rong was the beneficiary of the rebellion, when Guo Wei was forced to rebel by the young emperor Liu Chengyou, and as a result, all of Guo Wei's family members were killed, and finally Guo Wei loved his empress Chai very much, so he simply made Chai Rong, the nephew of Empress Chai, the crown prince.
Chai Rong personally experienced the fierceness of that kind of rebellion, so he used many methods to prevent the warlord from rebelling, unfortunately, the arrogant general Zhao Kuangyin still rebelled and overthrew his own Shaodong family.
Fortunately, this martial artist will be Zhao Kuangyin, since then the world has a new atmosphere, the five generations are the kind of continuous killing and conquest, finally to be ended, more importantly, Zhao Kuangyin through a series of measures, rebuilt the people's ideological world, so that China once again restored the order of courtesy, righteousness and shame, completely ended the five generations and ten kingdoms, whoever has the biggest fist will be the emperor of the vicious circle.
Too many people in later generations criticized that many of the policies of the early Song Dynasty led to the extremely low combat effectiveness of the Song army, what will not know the strategy of the soldiers and the generals, and there is a plan for the generals to fight, so that the generals will fight strictly according to the map.
This kind of restraint is too much, which obviously restricts the flexibility and subjectivity of the generals, but objectively it does create conditions for ending the situation of warlord division after the Tang Anshi Rebellion and for the long-term stability of the country.
Many people stand on the basis of Cheng Pingjiu and criticize Zhao Kuangyin because they do not know how hard peace is and how much harm the warlords have caused to the people.
It is painful to understand how painful it is to be a Taiping dog than a chaotic world, war and chaos are always the worst living environment, and the Song Dynasty created by Zhao Kuangyin created China's splendid culture, which has a lot to do with the Song Dynasty's policy of emphasizing literature over military force.
Chai Rong would not have thought that Zhao Kuangyin would be made a traitor, and the history is so interesting that Zhao Kuangyin's Chen Qiao Mutiny is a copy of the Guo Wei Mutiny, more accurately, called the impatient version.
