Do you believe in Zhao Kuangyin's story? He said he was forced to mutiny, not for power. However, looking at the various means by which he wielded power, you have to wonder if it was premeditated.
On the one hand, he excludes dissidents and wins hearts and minds; On the one hand, be cautious and prevent hidden dangers. This kind of wise man who has both strategy and determination, and can control the situation, ** like a forced person?
Let's listen to me tell you in detail about the scene at that time, and see if this Zhao Kuangyin is admired by thousands of people or looked down upon.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Prime Minister Fan received an urgent report that the Khitan and Northern Han were heading south, with the goal of launching an attack on Hou Zhou. This news shocked Fan Zhen, because according to the past custom, every family should celebrate the Spring Festival.
But now, he must act now. As the prime minister, Fan Zhen should not have felt helpless about the border war, but he did, because he knew that the current emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Zongxun, was only 7 years old and could not command the army to deal with external troubles, and he himself had no military power, and only Zhao Kuangyin could rely on him.
Fan took a deep breath, he knew that this was his moment of challenge, and he had to make quick decisions to protect the country's security.
In order to solve the current military situation, Fan Zhen decided to turn to the powerful warlord Zhao Kuangyin for help. He sent someone to summon Zhao Kuangyin in the capital and invited him to discuss countermeasures together.
In the palace study, Fan Zhi was anxious, and he realized that the military situation was very complicated this time, and he had to find an effective solution. However, as time passed, Fan Ji felt more and more helpless, and he began to think seriously about the current situation.
Although the emperor was still young, Fan Zhen ranked first among the civil and military officials. However, his lack of real power made it difficult for him to resist external threats. In the end, Fan Zhen thought that the only way was to ask Zhao Kuangyin for help.
Fan Zhen has an understanding of Zhao Kuangyin's strength and prestige, and he believes that Zhao Kuangyin may use his power at a critical moment to seek greater power.
This made Fan Zhen feel very worried, and he even began to regret the first ** Han Tong, because if Han Tong was still there, he would not have to seek Zhao Kuangyin's help.
Fan Zhen hopes that Zhao Kuangyin can honestly lead the army to fight, instead of going to extremes.
The next day, Zhao Kuangyin arrived as scheduled. Fan Zhen informed Zhao Kuangyin of the Khitan military situation and asked him to immediately lead the army to the battle. Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment, then agreed. However, when Zhao Kuangyin's army left the capital only 20 miles away, he suddenly ordered to camp here and stopped advancing.
After Fan Zhen received the news, he fell into confusion. What's going on here? Could it be that the military situation on the border is fake? Just when Fan Zhen was thinking wildly, the worse news came - Zhao Kuangyin staged a mutiny in the military camp, was forced to wear the emperor's clothes by his subordinates, and then led the army back to the capital, directly deposed Chai Zongxun, and established himself as the emperor.
When Fan Zhen heard the news, he couldn't believe it. He originally thought that Zhao Kuangyin, the object of his help, was using the guise of this border war to launch a coup d'état.
The original border military situation is difficult to distinguish between true and false. And was he calculated by Zhao Kuangyin, or did he really fall into the trap of Khitan?
Fan Zhen sat in his chair and stared ahead intently. He couldn't believe that Zhao Kuangyin was so bold and reckless, taking advantage of the rumored military situation to launch a coup d'état and usurp the throne. At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin led the army back to the capital, directly deposed Chai Zongxun, seized the throne, and the entire capital fell into chaos.
The people fled in all directions, and they abandoned their officials and fled for their lives. Fan Zhen realized at this time that Zhao Kuangyin had planned everything a long time ago, but he fell into his trap stupidly.
He couldn't help but scold himself for being confused, and he actually believed Zhao Kuangyin's sweet words. As the prime minister, he should have been more cautious, but he easily believed in the so-called military situation, invited Zhao Kuangyin to the capital, and directly gave him an opportunity.
For a while, Fan Zhen felt that the future was bleak, and his position as prime minister was afraid that it would end here.
Zhao Kuangyin was frowning in the palace, and he tried to stabilize his rule. However, he realized that the ** and newly promoted civil servants around him could also become a threat.
So, he decided to solve the issue of military power first. He pretended to be embarrassed and told several generals that the emperor was very bitter, and they should be more comfortable as warlords. The generals were puzzled when they heard this.
Zhao Kuangyin took the opportunity to suggest that they hand over military power and change it to civilian positions. Shi Shouxin and the others agreed, because they were also worried that their subordinates would frame them. So, they did not hesitate to hand over their military power, changed to civilian officials, and lived a quiet life.
After solving the problem of military power, Zhao Kuangyin began to pay attention to the guards around him. They often accompany them, and may even threaten Zhao Kuangyin's position at critical moments.
In order to dispel his doubts, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said to them when he went out hunting: "We are now in the deep mountains, there is no one around, if you want to usurp the throne, now is the opportunity." ”
The guards were horrified and promised that they would not have two hearts. Zhao Kuangyin was relieved after hearing this, regained his smile, and they continued to move forward. Through these measures, Zhao Kuangyin stabilized the throne and basically eliminated the risk of being overthrown by others.
That night, Zhao Kuangyin had a rare restful sleep, and joy filled his body. This is what an emperor should be! The next morning, the sun rose, and many people had gathered outside the palace.
They talked a lot, and they all praised Zhao Kuangyin, the new emperor, for being different.
It is rumored that in order to launch a coup d'état, Zhao Kuangyin did not hesitate to spread rumors that the Khitan was coming. This kind of ingenuity is truly admirable! "Zhao Kuangyin's ability is indeed amazing.
He successfully cleaned up the civil and military officials, and stabilized the morale of the army, it seems that he is sitting firmly on this dragon chair. "Haha, Zhao Kuangyin's strategy of 'testing the loyalty of the guards' is indeed very interesting.
It seems that as the emperor, he is very attentive, and the governance of the country will definitely be more prosperous. ”…It seems that Zhao Kuangyin lives up to expectations and is about to create a peaceful and prosperous era.
He first made a high move, successfully defeated the Khitan and Northern Han coalition forces, and then stabilized internal affairs, rectified the rule of officials, and the life of the people will definitely get better and better!
