Reward the world

Let’s see how Taizu of Song governs the world. On the 8th, he buried the martyr Han Tong and added a prime minister named Shuling. But this is just a superficial phenomenon. Only the following incident can reveal Zhao Kuangyin’s true attitude towards Han Tong: Zhao Kuangyin once went out to Kaibao Temple and saw a portrait of Han Tong and his son hanging on the wall. He was furious and ordered to be destroyed immediately! The next highlight is: awarding civil and military officials.

First, the military general. On the 11th, Shi Shuixun, the third brother of the Palace Army, was transferred to the Guards as the second brother, and the vacancy of the Guide Jiedu left by Zhao Kuangyin was also taken over by Shi. Gao Huaide, the fourth brother of the Guards, was transferred to the Guards as the second brother. One of the two responded in the capital and the other was supported outside, and they were undoubtedly the first two heroes. They were promoted! However, Zhao Kuangyin had only been emperor for a few days and had a good understanding of the emperor's way of moving trees to death, moving people to live, and moving loyalty. Promotion is promotion, but if you can go over another system, you should start over again! In addition, Zhang Lingduo was promoted from the fifth brother to the third brother in the Guards, and the senior brother in the Guards. The vacancy left by Zhang Guanghan and Zhao Yanhui, the two guards who had left the city with him, took over.

Wang Shenqi, who was in the middle, was promoted from the fifth to the third. On the 19th, two important generals in the north, Zhao Kuangyin's brothers Murong Yanzhao and Han Lingkun, were in charge of heavy troops, and they had the greatest strength in the mutiny. They were promoted to the next level, and they became the chief inspector of the front office of the Palace Department, and the commander of the chief of the cavalry and infantry of the guards. Oh? Ask me, Li Chongjin, the former chief of the guards, and he was also promoted. What? He is already the eldest, and he can't be promoted again? You are wrong. His military position has reached its peak, don't we still have civil positions? He was thrown out with an unprecedented high official hat, and he is at the level of prime minister: Zhongshu Ling! But why is it the same as the dead Han Tong's official position? I wonder if Li Chongjin will see a shady look after knowing this "good news"?

Here we can see Zhao Kuangyin's strategy of rewarding military generals, that is, a bowl of water. Whether he was a close confidant in the past, he would be promoted to another level and everyone was very happy. However, below, Song Taizu's reward for civil servants was very different from the previous dynasty.

No matter what, Zhao Pu was Zhao Kuangyin's confidant. With his two great contributions to serving Zhao Hongyin until his death and Chen Qiao's mutiny, not to mention the Privy Councilor, he had both the prime minister, at least he could be one of them, right?

Sorry. On the 22nd, Zhao Pu only appointed a right-level counselor, a direct scholar of the Privy Council. He was a miscellaneous person in the Privy Council and was still 108,000 miles away from the Privy Council. At that time, the civil servants who were in Zhao Kuangyin's shogunate with Zhao Pu, Liu Xigu was a left counselor, Lu Yuqing was a scholar of the Duanming Palace, and Shen Yilun was a doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. This is Zhao Kuangyin's cleverness. Now they can participate directly in political affairs, and make them feel that there are a long number of officials in front of them. Dear bosses, you can level up slowly.

Zhao Kuangyin became much more generous to the old ministers of the previous dynasty. In early February, the three prime ministers, you were still in the same position as the same prefectures, and then added new titles: Fan Zhi was the chief minister of the Menxia Province, Wang Pu was the Sikong, one of the three dukes, and Wei Renpu was the highest commander of the Shangshu Province. However, Fan and Wang, please hand over your position as the Chief Secretary, and Wu Tingzuo took charge of the power of the Privy Council (from then on until the restructuring of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, in addition to the three envoys who controlled the national finances, the Supreme Council of the Song Dynasty was known as the East and West Prefectures. The East was the Minister of the Central Committee of the Central Committee, and was in charge of national government affairs. The Chief was the Minister of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee, and the Second Office was the Chief Secretary of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee, and the Second Office was the Chief Secretary of the Central Committee of the Central Committee established four years later. The Western was the Privy Council, which was in charge of national military affairs, and the Chief was the Privy Council)

On the 23rd of the first lunar month, several important border guardians were also rewarded: their father-in-law Fu Yanqing became the Grand Tutor, and served as the Taibao for Chai Rong's conquest of Shu and prepared Shu. The Jingnan Jieduan Jieduan (Nanping, one of the ten countries), Gao Baorong became the Taitu, and the Dingnan Jieduan (the future Xixia Kingdom) Li Yixing (real name Li Yiyin, who changed his name against the taboo of Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin) became the Taiwei. On February 9, the Zhenhai Jieduan (the Wuyue, one of the ten countries), Qian Chu (real name Qian Hongchu, the reason for changing his name is the same as above) became the Grand Marshal of the World.

The last person was Zhao Kuangyin's third brother, Zhao Kuangyi, the future Emperor Taizong. On the 24th of the first lunar month, he became the defensive envoy of Muzhou and gave the name Zhao Guangyi (after that, the character Kuang became a taboo and no one could use it except Emperor Taizu). Soon after, he was named Yuhou in front of the palace (a vacancy left after the promotion of the fifth king Shenqi), and began to cultivate his power in the army.

After the promotion of the title, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to the governors of the towns: Everyone, brothers are not talented and have become emperors. But please rest assured that the cake is very big and I can’t finish it alone. Everyone has to eat it. In the future, everyone will share the blessings. If you are in trouble, I will take care of you.

The first month of the founding of the Song Dynasty was spent in a festive mood. On February 5, Mrs. Du was honored as the empress dowager and accepted congratulations from the emperor and the ministers. However, the empress dowager frowned and was depressed. This was strange. She asked quietly, "The mother is noble for her son. Now the son is noble for the emperor, why is the mother not happy?" Empress Dowager Du said a truth, "It is difficult for the emperor to be the emperor! The emperor is above the rule of the common people, and if the rule is achieved, this position can be respected. If you lose control, you cannot find a man. This is why I worry." Well said! The Queen Mother, your article "It is difficult for the emperor to be a minister" is ranked by Wang Pu's "Pingbian Ce"! Song Taizu was very educated.

What happened next was a small thing, but it had a huge impact. In China's more than two thousand years of struggle against prime minister and imperial power, one chapter can definitely be written in a very special chapter.

It is said that the prime minister before Zhao Kuangyin could sit with the monarch to discuss politics, that is, the imperial court had a special seat for the prime minister in addition to the emperor's dragon chaise. One day in February, Fan Zhi and three other prime ministers were discussing matters with Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Tu said, "My dear friends, I don't have a good eye. What is the word on your memorial? Can you give me some advice?" Fan Zhi and others did not doubt that there was him, so they stood up and came to the emperor to discuss. But when the discussion ended, when they stepped down, they found that the chair they were sitting on had been removed unknowingly. Starting from Zhao Kuangyin's small move, the ceremony of the prime minister who had been sitting for more than a thousand years in China was abolished...

Changes of dynasties, and you have to take your time to get promoted and make money. Do you all understand? Most people understand. Only one person is anxious, almost destroying the overall situation of Zhao Kuangyin's stability and unity.

One night in April, Wang Yansheng was patrolling the capital for public security. He was a little unhappy. He tried so much and killed such an important person as Han Tong. But the emperor actually lost his temper at him and finally gave him a single cavalry commander. Well! If the official is not promoted, you must make some money, right? But the emperor said that it is not allowed to loot in the capital! But this is not a problem for Wang Yansheng. He came to Wang Pu's door and ordered his left and right to "go up and call the door" and hesitate. "This is the Prime Minister's home." Wang "nonsense! Do you think I don't know? Only officials can get rich! Do you want to make money?" "Think about it. Of course, I want to." The left and right called the door.

The door opened, and the housekeeper was stunned. This was a fully armed military soldier! He hurried to report to the master. After a while, Wang Pu ran out with a look of horror. He didn't even have the buttons of his clothes. In the middle of the night, what did these soldiers do? Didn't the emperor say that he would not let the soldiers rob? He saw: Commander Wang. He was even more frightened. This was the master who even Han Tong dared to kill. Wang Yansheng, "The patrol police were very sleepy tonight. I went to the master's house to ask for wine to drink." Wang Pu was relieved. Begging for food! That's not easy? He quickly asked someone to put wine and food on it. But Commander Wang drank two glasses and stopped drinking, and suddenly sighed, "Mr. Wang really has a prominent family background. Rich people are

. Unlike us who have to work in the middle of the night and can't make much money all year round. Wang Pu understood, this was asking for money. But pretending not to know, and changing the topic "Where is where. General, drink two more cups." Wang Yansheng was helpless and hinted that "the salary of brothers outside is also low! It's the New Year, and there is no year-end bonus." Wang Pu secretly scolded, "Damn it. Didn't the emperor just send you money?" However, how dare you offend these people "Come! Brothers outside also invite you to have two cups." Wang Yansheng was convinced. It seems that Wang Pu is not up to the truth. However, Wang Pu has a high position and a powerful position, and he is an old minister of the previous dynasty who was deliberately attracted by the emperor, so he could only push his hands and "Don't drink it anymore! Let's go."

As soon as the sky was dawn, Wang Pu submitted a secret note to Zhao Kuangyin. There was nothing I could do about it now. On April 8, Wang Yansheng was released as the governor of Tangzhou. This time, Wang Yansheng would never be promoted.

And those who understand will have a future that is unlimited.

Miao Xun became the director of the National Astronomical Curator and enjoyed his happiness; Chu Zhaofu, who was eloquent and able to pass messages, became the military weapon treasury envoy. Needless to say, this was an errand that could be made. Li Chuyun, who made the decision and made all plans, was promoted to the envoy of the Guest Provincial People's Court, and the General of the Right Guard; the Luo Yanhuansheng, who was so quick to scare Fan Zhi, was commander of the commander of the left wing of the Hei, and later led the Meizhou defense envoy. It was only a matter of time before he became the governor.

The above are all their own people. As for the new generation of the regime, Zhao Kuangyin was most concerned about the attitude of the governors from various places towards him. The most important ones should be the following: Guo Chongwei, Sun Xingyou, Li Chongjin, and Yuan Yan, Shanzhou.

The result was still very satisfied with Zhao Kuangyin. After hearing the mutiny in Zhen and Dingzhou, there was no abnormal movement. Moreover, Guo Chongwei from Zhenzhou also submitted a report saying that the Khitan and the Northern Han army both fled, so you can be the emperor with peace of mind. Of course, this is probably a response from the literati of the Song Dynasty. But it shows that: Zhenzhou is very calm, Dingzhou is very stable.

Luzhou was not on the way. Zhao Kuangyin could not have expected that the initial rebellion came from Li Yun, the governor of the Zhaoyi Army of Luzhou, who could not be beaten by the Guo family and the Chai family.

Under Zhao Kuangyin's tyranny, people all over the world closed their eyes. Why did Li Yun jump out and shout that he would not obey? Is he a royal relative or a relative? Or was he too grateful to the Zhou Dynasty, so he was obsessed with the previous dynasty? If he wanted to rebel, it was Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, and Fu Qianqing who rebelled?

Li Chongjin, you are Chai Zongxun’s cousin, why don’t you decide for your cousin? Zhang Yongde, you are Chai Zongxun’s uncle, why don’t you stand up? Fu Qianqing, you are Chai Zongxun’s grandfather, why don’t you speak out?
