Five-eighty-five.
In the fifth year of Huangyou (1053 AD), it was a spring, Di Qing, who was a god in the first war, triumphed in the middle of the night, the blue sky of the capital Kaifeng was white clouds, and the people under the white clouds were shouting, and the joy of victory was filled everywhere. The people of the capital welcomed their big heroes in the empty alleys, and every time they went out on the street after that, they were jammed by spectators. The scenery is incomparable, and it makes people's eyes hot.
Song Renzong personally greeted Di Qing in the vertical arch hall, and he took Di Aiqing's hand and remembered a song: I love you and love you endlessly. The next sentence is so difficult, it becomes a prophecy.
The first thing Song Renzong did for Di Qing was to issue an edict to Wang Yaochen, who was considered to be the same year as Di Qing, and asked him to send someone to wash away the tattoos on Di Qing's connection with a potion. Di Qing said no, this tattoo accompanied me to the battlefield and witnessed my growth process, and I will ask him to remind me to serve the country from time to time in the future.
Song Renzong's move came from the heart, Di Qing, the so-called same year, was sour, and when he saw Di Qing, he deliberately said: The tattoo on your face seems to be brighter than before. Di Qing smiled and replied: Why don't you have one on your face? The court officials were so envious and jealous, and even the clerks of the organs, because Di Qing was late to attend the meeting, also slandered Di Qing, who was the deputy privy envoy at the time, as a "red cardinal".
Han Qi's contempt for Di Qing was also visible to the naked eye back then, he was ordered to command the army to send troops to Western Xia, Di Qing was his deputy, Di Qing had one of his subordinates make a mistake, Han Qi asked his subordinates to tie Di Qing's hands and kneel in front of his big tent for interrogation.
Di Qing got the news and rushed to Han Qi's big tent to plead: This subordinate is a good man on the battlefield, please ask Lord Han to spare his life. Without waiting for Di Qing to finish speaking, Han Qi said contemptuously in the big tent: The champion of Huangbang High School outside Donghua Gate is a hero, and you people with tattoos on your face are also worthy of being called heroes. Han Qi was furious and beheaded his men in front of Di Qing. This old man doesn't give any face.
Even the white peony of the Qinglou woman looked down on people, and said when she saluted Di Qingjiu: Ban'er, drink one. The next day, the white peony was beaten with a solid board. The rejection and resistance of military attachés became the concept and prejudice of the collective unconscious of the Great Song Dynasty from top to bottom. It is also the main reason for Di Qing's death.
Li overrode the public opinion to seal Di Qing as the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and with Ping Zhangshi, that is, the prime minister, rewarded Di Qing's mansion in the ** circle, and did his best. As for the reason, Confucius understood, Zhuangzi understood, and Lao Tzu also understood that one of the basic national policies of the Great Song Dynasty was to rule the world with the literati and jointly manage national defense and military forces. This is also the reason why the Great Song Dynasty fought with the Dangxiang, or the Khitan, Jurchen, Mongol and other foreign tribes, and was defeated repeatedly. Professional things are handed over to the layman, and the result is that the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I retreat.
The literati talked about the soldiers on paper and were all impassioned, and they were scared to pee immediately when they were really in command on the battlefield, and they were afraid of the party, Liao, and gold, and they all suffered from various war syndromes, and they returned to the court with an invincible record, and they did not delay being an official, and they did not delay their self-congratulation when they despised a military minister. For Di Qing, who moved them to become a privy envoy, he attacked them without benefiting others and self-interested, mocking and sarcastic, and tried his best to do things.
The first to jump out against Di Qing was the official Han Jiang, on the grounds that Di Qing was in military power and violated the ancestral family law. It's okay to be a deputy. The second is the minister Pang Ji who recommended Di Qing back then, he said that if Di Qing is so loved by the people and placed in such an important position, he is afraid that things will happen again.
When the one-sided opposition to Di Qing sounded, Di Qing's family suffered another flood, and in order to clean up the traces left by the flooding, Di Qing temporarily moved his family to the nearby Xiangguo Temple. So, someone with ulterior motives reported to the imperial court that Di Qing was sitting under the verandah of Daxiangguo Temple in yellow clothes, and he thought he was the emperor from a distance.
This is not the end, for a while, there were rumors about Di Qing in the capital, "Han is like Hu Er, Hu is like Han, and the makeover is always average, only on the bank of the Fen River". It means that Di Qing is of Hu blood, and rebellion is a matter of time. Coincidentally, Di Qing's dog suddenly had a genetic mutation and grew horns. It is rumored that the sky is abnormal, and it is about to change the day.
After the house was renovated, it was reported that Di Qing's house was on fire in the middle of the night, and the fire brigade rushed over but there was no trace of the fire at all. When Zhu Wen of the fifth generation raised the army, a similar phenomenon occurred in his family. Wen Yanbo, who was the prime minister at the time, wrote this information and reported it to Song Renzong. Song Renzong summoned Wen Yanbo into the right place, saying that Di Qingrong Ma Yanyan was a loyal minister and a good general, and Aiqing should not be too careful. Wen Yanbo immediately replied: Wasn't Song Taizu also Chai Rong's loyal minister and good general?
Wen Yanbo's cross-examination hit the most sensitive nerve of Song Renzong, who was also the Great Song Dynasty, and Di Qing was removed from his position as privy envoy and sent to Chenzhou. Di Qing found Wen Yanbo and asked him why he was removed from his post if he was not at fault? Wen Yanbo replied coldly: The court's suspicion of you is the reason.
Di Qing was depressed when he arrived in Chenzhou, and he told the people around him that he might be buried in Chenzhou, on the grounds that there was a specialty called Qingsha pear. The imperial court even sent people every month to express condolences to Di Qing, but in fact, it was to check whether Di Qing had any signs of rebellion. In 1057 AD, Di Qing, who was depressed all day long in Chenzhou, had a sore on his face, and soon died. In this way, less than five years after returning to the imperial court, the Great Song Dynasty and the famous Changsheng General went through his life lonely in suspicion, calculation, and rejection of open and secret fighting.
Song Shenzong summarized that there were important military heroes who had made outstanding contributions to the imperial court since the Song Dynasty, and Di Qing was ranked first. Speak highly of his merits. After Song Zhezong succeeded to the throne, his sister eldest princess looked for a good mate again, and the princes and nobles in the capital flocked to the young people of school, all wanting to climb this royal family. The candidate selected by Song Zhezong for his sister was a guard with a knife in front of the palace, tall and handsome, surnamed Di Mingyong, the son of Di Qing.
