In "Yang Jiajiang", the old lady Pan Renmei framed the Yang general, and Yang Liulang went to Beijing to sue the emperor. Liu Tianguan accepted the gift of Pan Guifei, and favored Pan Renmei to be beaten to death by the eighth king Zhao Defang in court. At that critical moment in history, the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty avoided it"Pan Yang case"lest he be burned. At this time, Prime Minister Wang Yanling proposed to send the seven-pin sesame official Kou to Beijing to try the case. This suggestion was supported by the Eighth King Zhao Defang, but Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, underestimated this small county order, and he did not know how much courage Kou Zhun had to try the lawsuit between the current emperor and the county horse.
Zhao Guangyi originally thought that as long as he told Kou Zhun about the serious relationship of the matter, Kou Zhun would back down and then return to his hometown to protect his family. However, Kou Zhun did not understand the emperor's words"Bitterness", he patted his chest and promised that he would have a fair trial, not biased towards the Pan family or the Yang family.
Kou Zhun was promoted from a sesame official to a heavenly official of the First Rank Rite Department, and the road was full of challenges and choices. His predecessor exonerated Pan Renmei for accepting a gift from Pan Guifei, but was beaten to death by Zhao Defang in court. Kou Zhun looked at the room full of gold, silver and jewelry, and knew in his heart that he had to choose a side and choose a reliable protector. In the case of the old age of Song Taizong and the young and promising of the second emperor Zhao Defang, the choice became particularly important.
Kou Zhun took two gift slips from Concubine Pan and the emperor's mother-in-law and went to visit Zhao Defang overnight to express his loyalty and determination. After obtaining Zhao Defang's safety assurance, Kou Zhun began the trial the next day"Pan Yang case"。
Pan Renmei was still lying in the face of ironclad evidence, and Kou Zhun couldn't bear it anymore and began to torture him. When Pan Guifei saw her father being beaten, she angrily wanted to kill Kou Zhun on the spot. However, Kou Zhun did not flinch, he sent someone to beat Pan Guifei's attendants and smashed her Luanjia.
Song Taizong heard that his beauty was beaten by Kou Zhun, a countryman, and immediately sent someone to push out the noon gate and behead Kou Zhun. However, the eighth king Zhao Defang, the king of Runan, Zheng Yin, and the double king Huyan Pixian arrived in time to save Kou Zhun. Zhao Defang took out the gift list for Pan Guifei to bribe Kou Zhun, so that Song Taizong had nothing to say.
Kou Zhun privately set up the Hades Palace to deceive Pan Renmei's criminal confession, and Song Taizong could only issue an order to behead Pan Renmei. However, Pan Guifei went to the palace to trick Zhao Defang and insisted that Zhao Defang agreed to pardon Pan Renmei. Song Taizong had no choice but to send Pan Renmei to Wenzhou.
Under Kou Zhun's design, Yang Liulang intercepted Pan Renmei halfway, only to find that the prisoner had filled the army for Pan Renmei. Kou Zhun went to Pan Renmei's house for a private visit and found that Pan Renmei was still at home and harbored Liao State spies.
Zhao Defang mobilized 500 Imperial Forest Army and sent the double king Huyan Pixian to the front door of Pan's house to arrest him. Pan Renmei had no choice but to escape through the back door, and Yang Liulang blocked the back door and killed Pan Renmei's nephews Pan Zhao and Pan Xiang.
In the end, Pan Renmei fled to the black pine forest outside Bianliang City, and her sons Pan Long and Pan Hu were killed by Yang Liulang and Yang Paifeng. In a sense, Kou Zhun's series of plans is a coup d'état. If Zhao Defang mobilized 5,000, 5,000 or even the entire Imperial Palace Imperial Forest Army or the entire Bianliang army, could he force Song Taizong to abdicate? Although Zhao Defang and Kou Zhun did nothing after Pan Renmei's death, it is undeniable that this was a rudimentary coup d'état.
Song Taizong thought that Yang Liulang could be forgiven for killing Pan Renmei, but it was unforgivable for killing Pan Long, Pan Hu, Pan Zhao, and Pan Xiang, so he sent Yang Liulang to Wenzhou. And Zhao Defang did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, so that the situation of the Great Song Dynasty was faint and traitorous continued. This history makes people lament the complexity of power and the multifaceted nature of human nature, and it also makes us full of respect for the heroes of that era.
