On the first day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Xiande, according to the previous custom, every household should be celebrating the Spring Festival, but Fan Qian, who was the prime minister of the Later Zhou, was restless.
Fan Was like this, not because the dumplings were not delicious, but because he received an urgent military situation from the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty to go south in conjunction.
At this time, Not long after the death of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, his seven-year-old son Chai Zongxun became the leader of Later Zhou in the storm.
A seven-year-old doll, you let him go to take a slingshot to hit the bird may be very good, but you let him deal with the major affairs of the country, presumably he can not even recognize the words in the compromise, in this case, the handling of government affairs naturally falls on the head of Fan Qian and others.
However, Fan Qian's ability is not great, his ability is not high, and the most important thing is that he does not have military power, so when he heard that there was a war at the border pass, he had no war experience, and he panicked.
After thinking about it, he immediately made a decision, and it was this decision that changed the course of history.
Fan Qian believed that he did not have military power, so it would be all right to find someone with military power to resist, so he found Zhao Kuangyin, who was then the envoy of the German army and the inspector of the school, and was an absolute leader in the army.
On the second day of the first month of the first month, Zhao Kuangyin led a large army to go out, but Chen Qiaoyi, who was about 20 kilometers away from the capital, did not leave, and what was even more shocking was that Zhao Kuangyin was "forced" to become emperor that night.
According to the historical records, Zhao Kuangyin at that time did not know that he was going to be emperor, and in the haze of sleep, the general draped the yellow robe on his body, and in the middle of half pushing and half pushing, Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor.
Zhao Kuangyin knew very well that he could become emperor because he had military power in his hands, so after he became emperor, his suspicions were particularly heavy, and once, Zhao Kuangyin went out hunting, walked to the depths of the dense forest, and suddenly said to the guards around him: There is no one here, you kill me!
What was going on here, and what did these guards behave after hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words?
Let's take a look.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > Chen Qiao mutiny, is Zhao Kuangyin innocent? </h1>
Because in the Chen Qiao Mutiny recorded in the zhengshi, Zhao Kuangyin was innocent and even more unaware, resulting in many people in later generations being full of "sympathy" for Zhao Kuangyin, you see, others do not want to be emperors, stunned to be forced to be emperors, and even when they are not emperors, they cannot be the lord, which is really too tragic.
Although in ancient times, there were indeed people who did not want to be emperors, but most people dreamed of becoming emperors, even ordinary people, they also wanted to be addicted, but their ideas are difficult to come true.
So no matter how much it is recorded in the history books, how much Zhao Kuangyin does not want to be an emperor, whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway.
Of course, I have a reason:
First, the sources of the Khitan invasion from the south were unreliable, and Fan Qian did not carefully distinguish between true and false.
Second, if there was really a war on the border, Zhao Kuangyin should march in a hurry, but he walked out of the capital about 20 kilometers, and then stopped to rest and did not leave.
Third, after Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe was added, the first thing to do was to resist the attack of the Khitan and other forces, but he directly ignored the return to the capital and forced the 7-year-old Chai Zongxun to abdicate.
These three points are unreasonable, in fact, they also point out the greatest possibility for us, that is:
The Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty did not unite to go south at all, and this news was released by Zhao Kuangyin, and his ultimate goal was to pull the army out without the control of the DPRK and the Middle, and then complete the mutiny in one fell swoop.
As for being forced to wear a yellow robe, it is really unbelievable, if this is really not a conspiracy to show the people of the world, if Zhao Kuangyin really does not want to be an emperor, presumably Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi and others have the ability to do so, and they do not dare to act so boldly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > cup of wine to release military power, why did the ministers surrender power? </h1>
Whether Zhao Kuangyin wanted to be this emperor or not, he eventually became this emperor, and this was enough, which was enough to leave his name in history.
I have to say that Zhao Kuangyin is really a piece of material for the emperor, for what the emperor should do, he is very fast, especially after this sentence "the side of the bed will not allow others to sleep" said, it is even more amazing to have the appearance of an emperor.
Since he became the emperor, he naturally had to think about how to strengthen the emperor's power and stabilize his hard-won position, Zhao Kuangyin took himself as a mirror, thought and thought, and felt that the military general of military power was the greatest threat to his emperor's position, after all, he could become emperor by relying on this.
And he carefully looked around and found that the good brothers who followed him to fight the world, after he became emperor, each of them was a high-powered person with real power.
What to do, Zhao Kuangyin decided to use his expertise and continue to act.
One day, Zhao Kuangyin summoned Shi Shouxin's iron brothers to drink, and when they drank, they sighed incessantly, and Shi Shouxin and the others asked: Big brother, why sigh, this emperor is sitting on it, what else do you want?
Zhao Kuangyin said: My emperor is unstable, and if he can't eat well and sleep badly all day, it is better to be a festival to make him happy.
Shi Shouxin and the others said: Don't make trouble, old iron, when the emperor is more powerful and windy, he walks with wind.
Zhao Kuangyin said: Everyone enjoys wealth, if one day, your subordinates put a yellow robe on you, can you not be the same as the emperor?
Shi Shouxin and the others immediately turned pale with fright, and slammed their heads together, indicating that this military power was really too hot for us to want.
So Zhao Kuangyin went down the slope of the donkey, took back their power, gave them money, and let them enjoy their old age in peace, which was really a great joy for everyone.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="56" > going out hunting, what is Zhao Kuangyin's plan? </h1>
After receiving the general's military power, the big stone in Zhao Kuangyin's heart was also put down, but he still involuntarily had doubts about the people around him.
Especially those guards who took care of his home all day, Zhao Kuangyin always couldn't put his mind at ease, afraid that after he went to sleep one day, he would never wake up again.
So he always reprimanded and inspected them every three to five minutes, and on one occasion he went out hunting with a group of guards.
Originally, this was just a recreational activity, but what these guards did not expect was that it was actually a pit, a pit that could bury them at any time.
After Zhao Kuangyin walked to a dense forest, he suddenly stopped, and these guards thought that their master had seen the prey, and they stopped to look around, but they did not expect that Zhao Kuangyin said:
There is no one here, but those who want to be officials can kill me!
This means that there is no one in this place, and those of you who want to be emperors, kill me quickly.
These courtiers were really shocked to hear Zhao Kuangyin say this, and after waking up and returning, everyone immediately knelt down and showed Zhao Kuangyin that there was absolutely no betrayal, and then they also banged their heads.
Zhao Kuangyin saw that the effect had been achieved, and then he became a good person, and after saying a good word to these people, he took them back.
It can be seen from this that from the yellow robe to the release of military power with a cup of wine, to the temptation of the people around him, Zhao Kuangyin has done a very beautiful job, not only to face, but also to achieve the goal, the power is high, impressive!
