Chapter 192 Later Zhou Mingjun
"Zhao Kuangyin rode on the horse and said: Since you have appointed me as emperor, can you all obey my orders?
"The soldiers replied in unison: "Of course I will obey your Majesty's orders. "

"Zhao Kuangyin issued an order: After arriving in the capital, the Queen Mother and the young master of the Zhou Dynasty must be protected. The court ministers are not allowed to be invaded, and the national warehouses are not allowed to be looted. Those who implement the order will be heavily rewarded, otherwise they will be severely punished."

"Zhao Kuangyin was originally the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, and with the support of the generals, who dared to disobey orders! The soldiers lined up and drove to the capital. The troops were in good order along the way, and there was no fault in Qiu. When they arrived in Bianjing, they took it without much effort. Down to the capital."

"The generals called for the ministers Fan Zhi and Wang Pu. When they saw Zhao Kuangyin in yellow robes, they were frightened and quickly bowed down. Emperor Zhou Gong abdicated, and Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne and became the emperor. The country was named Song and its capital was Tokyo. In history, It is called the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin is the Song Taizu."

"This is the allusion of "yellow robe plus body". If Zhao Kuangyin does not seize the throne, Emperor Zhou Gong and his orphans and widowers may not be able to hold on to the country. By then, it will not be chaos in the world, but the people of Ming Dynasty who will suffer, and Zhao Kuangyin has brought great benefits to the people Live and work in peace and contentment.”

Cao Cao: I don’t recommend assisting the young emperor. When the emperor grows up, capable ministers will often not end well.

Zhao Kuangyin: There was no way. I was in a situation where I had to be the emperor. To be honest, I did have ambitions, and the situation at that time had no way out for me.

Li Shimin: If you didn't agree at that time, you might be killed by these soldiers. When they have ideas, you can only agree. These soldiers have no way out and can only go to the dark side.

Zhu Yuanzhang: What a pity Chai Rong!
"It may be a premeditation, or it may be a forced one. No matter how we discuss it, after Zhao Kuangyin usurped the throne, he treated the Chai family of the previous dynasty well, and set a precedent by releasing military power over a cup of wine. In short, Zhao Kuangyin was still a good emperor, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin deserves to be called "the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty"."

"Zhao Kuangyin ended the era of melee in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Although the Song Dynasty he established single-handedly had the "Shame of Jingkang" and signed many unequal treaties that attracted the cold eyes of the world, the economy of the Song Dynasty was also very prosperous. It’s undeniable.”

"Chen Qiao's mutiny, Huangpao's appearance, and almost no bloodshed, he took this big advantage from the hands of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Such good luck is very rare in the 5000-year history of China."

"After telling the story, let's get down to business!"

"To be honest, when I talk about Zhao Kuangyin, what comes to mind is not those reforms, but mutton steamed buns and movable type printing and papermaking."

"Some people may not remember what Zhao Kuangyin's reforms were, but they should all know the things I mentioned. However, they don't know that these came from the Song Dynasty."

"Let's get down to business first. I'll tell myself I'm hungry."

"Zhao Kuangyin's ability to become emperor and establish the Northern Song Dynasty was inseparable from a "Bo Le". Zhao Kuangyin's high achievements cannot erase the foundation laid by this person."

""The sun shines brightly at first, and thousands of mountains are like fire.A round of stars suddenly ascended to the sky, driving away the stars and the waning moon. "This is a poem by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and it is also a rare seven-character quatrain in his life."

"Isn't the scene described in this poem what Zhao Kuangyin wanted?"

"He hoped to be the sun shining on the earth and drive away the darkness. Although he was just a small army leader at the time, it can be seen from the poem that he had great ambitions and had a big picture in his heart." "He Zhao Kuangyin is ambitious. , just like the allusion of "yellow robe and body" I said, whether it is premeditated or going upstream, it can be seen that his ambition is not small."

"After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion remained unresolved for a long time, and the world entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period."

"During the Five Dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as the governor of Guide by Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Since then, he has repeatedly won military honors, laying the foundation for his claim to the throne. Zhao Kuangyin's achievements in hegemony are inseparable from the appreciation and promotion of Zhou Shizu. It can be said that Zhou Shizu He is Zhao Kuangyin’s “Bole”.”

"During the Five Dynasties period, there was an emperor who was known as the "First Mingjun of the Five Dynasties". He was very good at making use of talents. There is a saying: "Civil and military affairs are used together, and each performs his or her duties." This man was Zhou Shizong - Chai Rong."

"During Chai Rong's reign, he reorganized the army, reduced taxes, and appeased the refugees. In the later Zhou Dynasty, the politics became clear, the people became rich, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and prosperity began to return."

"Chai Rong was the lord of Zhao Kuangyin all his life and was the adopted son of Zhou Taizu. He was later named Guo Rong. Because the two sons of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei were both killed, Chai Rong inherited the throne when Guo Wei died."

"Zhao Kuangyin joined the army very early. He first served under Guo Wei. Zhao Kuangyin was strong in force, brave in combat, and made many military exploits. He was promoted and promoted by Guo Wei. However, at this time, Zhao Kuangyin had not yet had the opportunity to enter the center of power and was unable to participate in decision-making on important matters."

"After Zhou Shizu succeeded to the throne, he was young and vigorous, and he went on a personal expedition against the Liao and Northern Han Dynasties. Zhao Kuangyin was among them. However, at this time, Zhou Shizu did not know Zhao Kuangyin."

"In this battle, there were fewer soldiers in the Later Zhou Dynasty and more people in the Northern Han Dynasty. Chai Rong was inexperienced on the battlefield, and it was the first time that the imperial commander personally fought. Therefore, the morale of the team was low. The generals of the right army, Fan Aineng and He Hui, were powerless and timid. They were defeated not long after the battle. He led his troops to escape, but when the decisive battle was about to begin, Fan Aineng, the governor of the Ningjiang Army, led his troops to escape. The morale of the army was suddenly in chaos in the following week."

"The combined forces of the Northern Han and Khitan took advantage of the situation to attack. Chai Rong was trapped in the enemy's formation and could not escape. At this time, the person guarding Chai Rong was none other than Zhao Kuangyin."

"At this critical moment, Zhao Kuangyin raised his arms and shouted: "Your Majesty is in danger, we will fight to the death! "Immediately Zhao Kuangyin led his army to charge and killed many enemies. With Chai Rong supervising the battle, morale became high again in the later weeks. In the end, the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces were forced to withdraw."

"At that time, Guo Wei's son-in-law Zhang Yongde served as the supreme commander of the Forbidden Army. He admired Zhao Kuangyin's performance in this battle, and Chai Rong promoted him to the title of Marquis of Yu, the capital of Qian."

"From then on, Chai Rong also admired Zhao Kuangyin very much, trusted him very much, and hoped to become a brave person like Zhao Kuangyin."

"Zhao Kuangyin is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this battle. He saved Chai Rong's life. From then on, Chai Rong trusted Zhao Kuangyin more and more, and Zhao Kuangyin also fought for him in the north and south, and made many meritorious deeds."

"Before Chai Rong died, he promoted Zhao Kuangyin in an unusual way without any doubts about him. It was for this reason."

"For Chai Rong, he may have never thought that Zhao Kuangyin would rebel one day. After all, Zhao Kuangyin was considered his confidant general. Zhao Kuangyin followed Chai Rong in the north and south and made great achievements in battle very early on."
