When The Song Emperor Liu Yilong entered the capital surrounded by people, Liu Yilong's subordinates and relatives raised banners to welcome Liu Yilong. Royalty and foreign relatives from various places also expressed their support for Liu Yilong in various forms.
In this context, those interest groups that are waiting and watching will naturally turn against each other, and the rebel groups will feel extremely lonely for a while.
After seeing Fu Liang, Xu Xianzhi, who was extremely depressed, immediately asked him, "Who can the King of Yidu (Liu Yilong) compare with?" Fu Liang said, "Stronger than Emperor Wen of Jin (Sima Zhao) and Emperor Jing of Jin (Sima Shi)!" As soon as he said this, Xu Xianzhi and others immediately felt that it was difficult to ride the tiger.
Xu Xianzhi asked Fu Liangyue, "Who is Wang Kefang?" Liang Yue: "Jin Wen and Jing Shang people." - Zizhi Tongjian, Song Ji'er
On the surface, Fu Liang said that Liu Yilong's ability was stronger than That of Sima Zhao and Sima Shi, but in fact, Fu Liang was saying that they underestimated the military and political resources that Liu Yilong could mobilize. Ben thought of finding an opportunity to control Liu Yilong, but now found it difficult to do so.
Hearing such words, Xu Xianzhi could only helplessly say: "If he has such a great talent, he should understand our hard heart." Fu Liang's answer was, "Not necessarily! ”
Envy: "I will be able to understand my pure heart." Liang Yue: "Not really." - Zizhi Tongjian, Song Ji'er
Xu Xianzhi meant that since he was no longer able to control the emperor, let's let the past things pass, hoping that Liu Yilong would not turn over the old accounts.
Fu Liang's meaning was also very clear: "As courtiers, we kill the emperor and the prince, and we talk lightly and abolish the standing. Now that Liu Yilong is in control of the situation, he will never forgive us, so we should not report this illusion. ”
Fu Liang's words were very bare, but he had compromised with Liu Yilong as early as when he was in Jingzhou.
Not only xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang were worried in their hearts, but also Xie Han's mood at that time. He asked Cai Kuo, "Can I survive?" Will the emperor let me go to Jingzhou? Cai Kuo said: "You killed the emperor and the prince, and you deposed the emperor lightly, and now you let Liu Yilong become emperor, but you occupied the upstream important town without authorization (Xie Han's appointment as an envoy to Jingzhou was decided without asking Liu Yilong). In my opinion, you are not immune. ”
Obscure will go, bid farewell to Cai Kuo, and the screen people asked: "Am I exempt from it?" "Qing was ordered by Emperor Xian, and he was appointed to the society, and it was indispensable to abolish the ming. However, killing the second brother and taking it to the north, threatening the power of the Lord, according to the weight of the upper class, using the past to push the present, so as to avoid embarrassment. - Zizhi Tongjian, Song Ji'er
Xie Han heard Cai Kuo say this, and that fragile heart became even more fragile.
The backbone members of the rebel clique are Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, Xie Han, Wang Hong, and Tan Daoji, and now that Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, and Xie Han are all of such virtues, Wang Hong and Xie Daoji will definitely want to draw a clear line with them.
After Liu Yilong succeeded to the throne, the first confrontation between the two sides mainly revolved around Jingzhou.
Before his death, Liu Yu made it clear that the stakes in Jingzhou were of great importance, and only members of the imperial family's close branch could leave the town, and even members of the imperial family's close branch could not sit in the town for a long time, and they must take turns to sit in the town.
In the beginning, Gao Zu was in the upper echelons of the penal state, the land was vast and far away, and the capital soldiers were half of the imperial court, so the edict ordered the sons to live in it. - Zizhi Tongjian, Song JiSI
But before Liu Yilong entered the capital, the rebel clique took advantage of the opportunity to control the central government and appointed Xie Han as the assassin of Jingzhou.
As for the traitor clique's unauthorized appointment of Jingzhou Assassins, Liu Yilong obviously had two choices:
1. Reject the personnel appointments previously made by the rebel group.
2. Recognize the personnel appointments previously made by the rebel group.
Initially, when facing Liu Yilong, Xie Han also felt that Liu Yilong was likely to make the first choice, so he was uneasy all day and could only go to Cai Kuo for comfort, which made his mood worse. But Liu Yilong finally made a second choice, and when Xie Han got on the boat and set off, he immediately said with relief: "I can finally get out." ”
Obscure was afraid to go, and looked at the stone city, and said happily: "Now I have to get rid of it!" - Zizhi Tongjian, Song Ji'er
The first choice is ostensibly beneficial to Liu Yilong, but in fact, this choice will intensify the contradiction between Liu Yilong and the rebel clique, and may make Liu Yilong's advantages lost.
At that time, Liu Yilong had just entered the capital, and the army in the capital had not yet fully grasped it. In this context, if Liu Yilong and the rebel clique turn their faces, Xie Han and others will certainly not have any good results, but Liu Yilong is afraid that there will be no good results either.
Lin Xiangru was forced to be anxious by the King of Qin, and he could still shout out the wild words of "exchanging life for life", and if those rebel groups killed in the bloody sea of swords and mountains were forced into a corner, they would never be tied up.
For this kind of result that may cause both sides to lose, Liu Yilong naturally tries his best to avoid it.
The second option is ostensibly unfavorable to Liu Yilong. But in fact, he could ease Liu Yilong's relationship with the rebel clique, so that Liu Yilong could more calmly control the power of the capital.
After agreeing to Xie Han's appointment as the Assassin of Jingzhou, Liu Yilong's confidant Zhi Yanzhi was given the position of Leader of the Middle Army. From this point of view, Liu Yilong's willingness to give up the Jingzhou Assassin History should be conditional, that is, to let the rebel clique hand over the military power of the central government. In this regard, the rebel group chose to accept.
Xu Xianzhi and others wanted to make Yanzhi Yongzhou, and the emperor did not allow it; Zheng Yanzhi was the leader of the middle and entrusted rong government. - Zizhi Tongjian, Song Ji'er
As mentioned earlier, the location of Jingzhou is too important, which is the place where only members of the royal family can leave the town. Now, Liu Yilong agreed to let Xie Han serve as the Assassin of Jingzhou, which was already a huge concession. If the rebel clique grasps the military power of the central government and does not let go, it will be iron-hearted to break with Liu Yilong. At that time, the rebel clique would probably have no room for maneuver at all.
From God's point of view, the rebel group at this time actually has no way to live.
But without going through God's perspective, we must admit one thing: so far, Liu Yilong and the rebel clique seem to have only fought a draw.
After this round of confrontation, the rebel clique controlled the most important military and political region of the Liu Song Dynasty (Xie Han as the Assassin of Jingzhou), and also controlled a military and political region downstream (澶道吉任兖州刺史). Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, and Wang Hong also presided over the daily work of the central government, and the two most important giants at that time, the Wang clan and the Xie clan, all had important figures (Wang Hong and Xie Han) in the camp of the rebel clique. The military and political resources they controlled seemed to be even greater than those controlled by the emperor.
After this round of confrontation, a large number of members of Jingzhou's interest groups entered the central government, and Liu Yilong's control over the central government increased day by day. Moreover, as soon as Liu Yilong succeeded to the throne, he immediately increased the power and status of the members of the imperial family: Liu Yigong was made the King of Jiangxia, Liu Yixuan was the King of Jingling, and Liu Yiji was the King of Hengyang.
Emperor Yigong's brother Yigong was made the King of Jiangxia, Yixuan the King of Jinling, and Yiji the King of Hengyang; still Yixuan was made the left general and Zhenshi was made. - Zizhi Tongjian, Song Ji'er
However, this is only a superficial comparison of strength, and the rebel clique always has a fatal weakness, that is, the interests of Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, Xie Han, Wang Hong, and Tan Daoji are inconsistent, and they can never be twisted into a rope.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, in the real world, if ordinary employees are united, they can definitely convince the executives. But the question is: who dares to say that the interests and demands of all ordinary employees can be taken into account? Ordinary employees who have no foundation are so difficult to deal with, and executives who are entangled in the company's interests are definitely more difficult to deal with.
The rebel clique certainly did not hold fewer meetings, and at the meeting they did not say less about unity, and in order to unite everyone, they also jointly handed over a heavenly surrender (killing the emperor). But even so, they still can't unite, and their differences can be imagined.
In this context, although the rebel clique did not directly turn its face, it was all intentionally or unintentionally betraying the other side. And once the cooperation between them has a crack, there is no chance of repair, only to make the crack bigger and bigger. After the cracks become larger and larger, the interest groups in the wait-and-see will be more firmly supportive of Liu Yilong, which will stimulate the rebel groups even more, which will lead to greater differences and cracks between them.
When this situation continues for a period of time, it is unlikely that the rebel clique will not say that they will join forces to fight back, that is, they will not tear each other down.
In fact, there were already signs of this disagreement: when Liu Yilong was established, the rebel clique unanimously agreed that Liu Yifu, the young emperor of the Song Dynasty, should be killed. However, halfway through the matter, Fu Liang listened to Cai Kuo's persuasion and decided to put Liu Yifu under house arrest, but Liu Yifu had already been killed by this time. Seeing this situation, Fu Liang immediately began to throw the pot, and the words had a meaning: The emperor was killed by you. When Xu Xianzhi heard Fu Liang's words, he immediately became angry: "Everyone decided to kill the emperor together, what are you trying to do now?" ”
"Yingyang is in Wu, and it is advisable to make offerings; in the event of misfortune, all the qing people have the name of the Lord, and if they want to stand in the world, they will be able to gain evil!" "Shi Liang has already discussed with Envy to harm the King of Yingyang, but He believes in it and does not reach it." Envy's great anger said: "Discuss with people, how to turn your back and sell evil to people?" - Zizhi Tongjian, Song Ji'er
In the early days of cooperation, this disagreement was not too conspicuous. However, with the development of time, there will be more and more differences between the rebel groups, and with the accumulation of time, the fuse will easily appear.
After Liu Yilong succeeded to the throne, he planned to make Wang Hong a sikong. But Wang Hong actually said: "Whether you can become emperor has little to do with me, and I dare not accept this appointment." ”
Taizu ascended the throne, with the determination of an sheji, the ascension to the throne, the feudal Anjun Gong, and the thousand households of Yiyi. The above table solidly said: "To ling tian to reveal his heart, to predestin the great policy, and the famous editor, the merit is not disciplined, the sin of not rewarding the solid general, the book of the hanging dragon and snake, should not be disobeyed to the order, and the sub-section should be repaired." -----------------
At the time of liu yifu's killing, Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, and Xie Han were the masterminds, and Wang Hong and Daoji were the main supporters. But wang Hong's words meant to tell Liu Yilong: My participation in this series of events is not high.
The reason why Liu Yilong was able to pull Tan Daoji over when he attacked Xie Han was ostensibly because Liu Yilong had wisdom and courage, but the more important reason was that Tan Daoji was eager to show loyalty to Liu Yilong and took the initiative to draw a line with the rebel clique. Therefore, for Tan Daoji, Liu Yilong is assured and bold to use it, because he knows very well that at this moment, Tan Daoji needs to use the heads of other accomplices to exonerate himself.
Wang Hong and Tan Daoji's approach is quite unkind, but in my opinion, in fact, We can't blame Wang Hong and Tan Daoji too much.
As early as the time of Jingzhou, Fu Liang decided to show loyalty to Liu Yilong and sent his own cronies to establish relations with Liu Yilong's cronies. Fu Liang's practice was still somewhat useful: Liu Yilong forgave Fu Liang's sons when he killed Fu Liang.
When Xie Han was serving as the Assassin of Jingzhou, he also began to make painstaking friends with Liu Yilong's close associate Zhiyanzhi, and later married his two daughters to Liu Yilong's younger brother.
Xu Xianzhi did not bother With Liu Yilong, but he repeatedly said that he wanted to retire. But under the repeated persuasion of Liu Yilong, he came out to work again.
Looking at the performance of these three people, I think that Wang Hong and Tan Daoji's approach does not seem to be too excessive. Since it was "the great calamity that was about to fly separately", Wang Hong and Tan Daoji only flew a little faster.
When Xie Han heard the news that Tan Daoji had personally led the army, he must have been very desperate. This is not to say that he is afraid of Tan Daoji, but he regrets that he did not regurgitate the water earlier than Tan Daoji.
If Xie Han and Tan Daoji can work closely together from east to west, Liu Yilong will have to waste some kung fu if he wants to do it. But now that Tan Daoji had already taken a step ahead, how could Xie Han still struggle?
In the end, Fu Liang, Xie Han, and Xu Xianzhi all died, Wang Hong and Tan Daoji reluctantly washed their hands ashore, and the assassination incident that occurred in the early Liu Song Dynasty was over.
