"Who is Zhao Kuangyin"
This also starts from the Later Zhou Chai Sect.
During the reign of Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the country's economy rebounded slightly, and the people were looking forward to a peaceful life. Unfortunately, Chai Rong died of illness in his prime. Emperor Gong of Zhou, who was only 7 years old, ascended the throne, and because Emperor Gong was too young, he was assisted by the chancellor Fan Qian and Wang Pu.
On the first day of the first lunar month in 960, the capital city was a new spring scene, full of spring.
The chancellor Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and other ministers embraced the little emperor to accept the hundred officials' greetings and celebrate the beginning of the new year, when suddenly someone sent an urgent war report on the border: "The lord of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao state are united, and they want to send troops to attack the border of Houzhou." The big officials and petty officials in the imperial court were all panicked, and the little emperor didn't know what to do.
The ministers had no choice but to ask Zhao Kuangyin to quickly lead the troops to set off and resist.
Zhao Kuangyin was born in the family of the general gate in Luoyang, Henan, and after he grew up with great courage and martial arts, Zhao Kuangyin met Guo Wei, a secret envoy of the Later Han Dynasty, and became a soldier under his account.
After Guo Wei's death, his adopted son Chai Rong succeeded to the throne.
Zhao Kuangyin became a powerful general under Chai Rong, conquered the north and conquered the north, and made many achievements. Chai Rong trusted Zhao Kuangyin very much and sent him to be the commander of the Forbidden Army, holding the power of the Affairs of Later Zhou.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin received the order and immediately dispatched troops to lead the army from Beijing. Zhao Kuangyin was followed by his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi and the strategist Zhao Pu. The army arrived at Chen Qiaoyi, 20 miles away from the capital, and Zhao Kuangyin ordered the soldiers to camp and rest. That night he drank a beautiful drink, fell drunk in his tent, purred and slept, and after a while he heard someone making noise outside.
There was an accident outside, and the whole barracks was in turmoil.
The soldiers, led by some officers, became loud and noisy. Some people said: "Now that the emperor is young and ignorant, we are desperately fighting to kill the enemy, who knows in the future?" It is better to set up a manager to be a heavenly son first, and then go north. Everyone listened and agreed. Dian inspection is the official title of Grand Marshal Zhao Kuangyin.
Who orchestrated this farce? In fact, this was all designed by Zhao Kuangyin in advance, and his younger brothers Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu were accomplices in this conspiracy.
Zhao Kuangyi led the noisy soldiers to hug Zhao Kuangyin's tent and woke up Zhao Kuangyin, who was asleep.
Zhao Kuangyin got up and walked out of the tent door, only to see many generals standing in the courtyard, holding weapons in their hands, and a group of generals, regardless of three seven twenty-one, draped the yellow robes that had been prepared long ago on his body, and shouted loudly: "We want to ask dian to be the son of heaven!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone brushed their brushes and fell to their knees on the ground and prostrated their heads at him, shouting "Long live" in unison.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was originally drunk and crooked, saw this scene, and when the wine suddenly woke up, he stomped his feet and waved his hands and said, "This is not going to happen." Have you not trapped me in unkindness and unrighteousness in coveting riches and establishing you as the Son of Heaven? Aren't you doing this to harm me? "Everyone is making a lot of noise, how can they give up?"

"Jianguo Song"
Everyone was talking nonsense, and they had to let Zhao Kuangyin agree. Zhao Kuangyin was secretly happy in his heart, pretended to give in, and said with a serious face on the floor: "You are really the emperor, I will listen to you." But let's make it clear, and from now on you will have to listen to me. ”
Zhao Kuangyin was originally the commander of the Forbidden Army, and with the support of the generals, who dared to listen to orders.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was dressed in yellow robes, did not fight the battle, and led the soldiers to turn around and rush back to the capital.
Along the way, the military appearance was neat, and Qiu did not commit any crimes.
When they arrived in Beijing, there were Shi Shouxin, Wang Zhenqi and others who did the internal response, and they took the capital without much effort. The generals brought Fan Zhen and Wang Pu to him. Zhao Kuangyin saw them, and complained with a handful of snot and tears: "Sejong treated me like a mountain, and now I am forcing my soldiers into this, I am really sorry for Emperor Xian, what do you say to do?" ”
Fan Zheng was about to say something, when the soldiers around Zhao Kuangyin suddenly changed their faces and said in a loud voice, "We have no master." Today, we must ask the day of the spot check not to hurry up and kowtow to the emperor! Fan Qian and Wang Pu were so frightened that they quickly went down to worship, and everything was done.
Emperor Gong of Zhou abdicated the throne, and Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, with the name of song and the capital of Dingdong (present-day Kaifeng, Henan), historically known as the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin is Song Taizu.
Although her son became emperor, Song Taizu's mother frowned and looked sad.
After the chancellor retired, the attendant asked the empress, "You should be happy that the emperor is on the throne, right?" Who knew that the empress dowager said, "I know that it is not easy to be the Son of Heaven." If the country can be managed well, this position is noble; if the management is not good and there is chaos, no matter how much you want to be a common people, you can't do it. "It is true that although the Song Dynasty was established, the whole country was not unified, and there were still separate regimes around it.
