Chapter 191 Yellow robe and body
Cao Cao: I suspect that I heard it wrong. Do you think so?

Fusu: I can’t believe it. Why are the rewards for the tenth one so good? What about the first one?

Liu Che: It’s true that I didn’t expect that “a good minister and a good general” could be given as a reward?
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought too far. He only gave three figures who could be used as references during Wu Zetian's period. They may be ministers in the court, or they may still be among the people. The queen needs to find them herself."

Liu Bang: So, it makes sense. I can’t even think about giving it away. However, it is also a good reward. Who doesn’t want to have ministers who can be trusted and solve problems?
Zhu Yuanzhang: This defensive shield is a good thing. It lasts for one year and surrounds the entire palace. I didn’t expect that the reward for the tenth place would be so good. The first place can be imagined.

"Hahahahahaha! Meng Tian, ​​let's go and have a drink with me!" Although he didn't say anything in the light screen, he understood, and everyone should understand, that the first reward is that he, Qin Shihuang, won't be able to escape. Government, no reward, can't delay his joy.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Meng Tian also smiled and congratulated. It depends on how big the reward is.

The two of them drank wine and continued to look at the light curtain, waiting for the next emperor to appear. He heard about the great achievements, especially for the emperors of the previous dynasty. There were some reform measures that they could also use, and they were also looking at this. Bit reward.

On the light curtain side, after everyone discussed the rewards, they wanted to hear the rewards of the previous emperors. Not only the monarchs and ministers, but also the people liked to hear it. They liked the emperors of their dynasties to be on the list, and they also hoped that these emperors could make great achievements. Things that are beneficial to the people.

Everyone knows the candidate for the ninth emperor, but they just want to know how Zhao Kuangyin came to the ninth place in the Song Dynasty, which was in such a mess. Because some of the previous emperors who didn’t know were a little unconvinced. They couldn’t figure out how Zhao Kuangyin could be on the list. For example, Qin Shihuang, Liu Xiu and others.

"The ninth outstanding emperor - "Yellow Robe" Zhao Kuangyin."

"The Song Dynasty may not look very good as a whole. It just looks like a chaotic dynasty. Among the emperors, there are many faint kings and mediocre kings. With such a Song Dynasty, why does Zhao Kuangyin make it on the list?"

"As a founding emperor, you cannot underestimate him. As I said before, the one thing he did wrong was "valuing civility over military affairs", which made subsequent emperors regard this as group training. But in the final analysis, the inheritance of blood is His younger brother’s bloodline cannot be counted as his. On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin is a brave, fearless, wise and courageous hero.”

"Why is it said that "yellow robe is added to the body" Zhao Kuangyin? These four words also refer to an incident."

"Zhao Kuangyin was born in a military family. He was influenced by his father since he was a child and has a brave and fearless fighting spirit. He participated in the Northern Expedition to Khitan and accumulated rich military experience. However, Zhao Kuangyin's ambitions were obviously not satisfied with the status quo. He I have a more ambitious goal in mind.”

"During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Chai Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, was an accomplished emperor. He reformed politics, reorganized the military, and successively captured the four prefectures of Jie, Cheng, Qin, and Feng in Later Shu and the fourteen prefectures in the Jianghuai region of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty laid the foundation for the unification of China."

"In all the previous battles, Zhao Kuangyin, who was born as a general, had outstanding military exploits and was deeply appreciated by Emperor Shizong. He was promoted to the rank of envoy of the Yicheng Army and the commander of the palace."

"At this time, the Khitan, who lived in the northern part of the flower-growing country, often harassed the borders of the Later Zhou Dynasty. In the spring of 959 AD, Emperor Shizong personally marched and ordered Zhao Kuangyin to deploy the land and water capital and lead the army first."

"The Khitan generals Mo, Ying, and Yi saw that the Zhou army was approaching quickly and it was difficult to resist the enemy, so they all surrendered without a fight, and Zhao Kuang successfully entered Waqiao Pass."

"Subsequently, Sejong arrived with his imperial army and held a banquet to celebrate the victory."

"During the banquet, Shizong declared: "I am determined to level the north and south and unify the Hua Kingdom. It is early summer and it is time to take advantage of the victory and advance directly to the Khitan capital. "Immediately send Liu Chongjin, commander of the vanguard capital, to advance quickly into Youzhou."

"Unexpectedly, that night, Shizong suddenly suffered from cold illness. He felt dizzy and dizzy. After two days, he still didn't feel better. The generals wanted to persuade him to return to the capital, but they didn't dare to play for a while."

"Zhao Kuangyin said excitedly: "Your Majesty has not recovered from his cold illness. If the Khitan troops arrive in large numbers, it will be unsightly. I will ask your Majesty to return to the capital when I arrive. "

"Shizong approved Zhao Kuangyin's petition. After the army returned to Peiliang, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, he promoted Zhao Kuangyin to the rank of inspector in front of the palace. From then on, Zhao Kuangyin's reputation became more prominent."

"In just ten days, Shizong's condition worsened, so he summoned Prime Minister Fan Zhi to the palace and asked him to assist the crown prince."

"That night, the 39-year-old Zhou Shizong died. The seven-year-old Liang Wang Chai Zongxun was appointed emperor, and his successor Fu Shizun, who was in his early twenties, was named the empress dowager."

"The new king came to the throne, and all the civil and military officials kept their original posts. Only Zhao Kuang was reassigned to the German army as military envoy and inspector, and was inspected in front of the palace. Murong Yanzhao was appointed as the deputy capital inspector. The two were good friends. Now They are extremely close and often discuss things in secret.”

"The following New Year, when the ministers were celebrating New Year's Day, suddenly people from Zhen and Ding states flew to report to the court, saying that the Northern Han and Khitan forces were invading with great fanfare, and they hoped to send heavy troops to defend the border."

"The Empress Dowager Fu was shocked when she heard the report and hurriedly summoned Fan Zhi and others to discuss countermeasures. Fan Zhi reported: "Zhao Kuangyin is loyal and brave, and can be the commander-in-chief. Murong Yanzhao is brave and can be the vanguard. She then ordered all the envoys to gather for the northern expedition and lead the unified expedition. Returning to Zhao Kuangyin's command, we will definitely win the battle. "The Empress Dowager has announced that she will order Zhao Kuangyin to gather troops from all walks of life and march north as soon as possible."

"Murong Yanzhao selected the elite and set off first; Zhao Kuangyin gathered the Qi army and set off later."

"After receiving the order to dispatch troops, Zhao Kuangyin immediately mobilized his troops and generals and led his troops to set off from Bianjing."

"That night, when the army arrived at Chenqiao, which was twenty miles away from the capital, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the soldiers to camp and rest on the spot. The soldiers fell asleep and fell asleep, but some generals gathered together and discussed quietly."

"Some people said: The emperor is so young now. We fought desperately to fight. Who will know our merits in the future? It is better to support Zhao Dianjian as emperor now! It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the military camp, and the soldiers all got up. Well, everyone crowded noisily to the post house where Zhao Kuangyin lives."

"Waiting until the sky turned white, Zhao Kuangyin drank some wine overnight and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he could only hear the noise of people outside. Then, someone opened the door and shouted loudly: Please order. Become the emperor!"

"Zhao Kuangyin got up quickly. Before he could speak, several people draped a yellow robe that had been prepared on Zhao Kuangyin. Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, shouting long live. Then, they pushed Pull again, help Zhao Kuangyin onto his horse, and ask him to return to the capital together."

"Unexpectedly, at this time, there were a lot of rumors in the capital. It was said everywhere that the emperor was young, the northern troops invaded the territory, and the troops had no master. Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as the emperor."
