When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 175: Where is this? Not long after he took the throne, he started to only call himself a grandson but not a minister?

[In the fifth year of Huitong and the seventh year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingtang died, and Shi Chonggui, who was only 28 years old, succeeded to the throne. 】

[Of course, there is still some controversy regarding his succession as an adopted son. 】
-
Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Hengdun suddenly felt that the problem of this later Jin Dynasty was not small.

Obviously, he was surrounded by his own generals, and he was also valued by Shi Jingtang, and he was appointed as the prime minister of Taiyuan affairs. The result of Shi Jingtang's trip to Luoyang is likely to be good.

So under such conditions, why hasn't Shi Chonggui seized the opportunity to build up his reputation?Since he had no ability, why did he suddenly become enlightened after Shi Jingtang's death, learn various strategies, know how to manipulate people's hearts, and finally succeed in succeeding to the throne?

Furthermore, Shi Chonggui also did what his adoptive father had always wanted to do but did not dare to do before his death - break away from the Khitan.

Not to mention how powerful the later Jin Dynasty was after Shi Chonggui succeeded to the throne?Can you successfully escape?

And just looking at him, it's hard to believe that he has this talent.

[Shi Jingtang actually did not have any biological sons. He had six sons in total. However, five of his sons died early, leaving only one Shi Chongrui. 】

[While Shi Jingtang was seriously ill, he began to pave the way for this young son's future. 】

[The prime minister of the Later Jin Dynasty at that time was Feng Dao. Shi Jingtang always entrusted him with important responsibilities, and he took care of everything no matter how big or small it was. 】

[Therefore, Shi Jingtang entrusted his youngest son Shi Chongrui to Feng Dao in a secret memorial between the emperor and his ministers, expressing his hope that Feng Dao would assist his youngest son in succeeding to the throne. 】

[The young Shi Chongrui was carried over by the eunuch, but Feng Dao, worthy of his name of loyalty, decisively carried him into his arms. 】

[But then Shi Jingtang's confidant general Jing Yanguang, who served as the commander of the bodyguard and army, discussed with Feng Dao many times and believed that the country was currently in trouble and it was appropriate to establish a eldest king, so he chose to support Shi Chonggui. 】

[After Shi Chonggui succeeded to the throne, in addition to holding funerals for Shi Jingtang at home, he began to deal with government affairs and also reported the funeral to Khitan. 】

[After Yelu Deguang heard the news, he sent an envoy to express condolences. It was June. 】

[The following July, the Later Jin Dynasty sent an envoy to express thanks to Khitan. Jinwuwei general Liang Yan and others arrived in Khitan and submitted Shi Chonggui's credentials to Yelu Deguang. The book said: "I am only called a grandson, not a minister."]
-
Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Seeing that Feng Dao and Jing Yanguang chose to support Shi Chonggui because of their age, the monarchs and ministers of Zhenguan were not surprised. After all, Shi Chongrui was indeed too young, and he actually needed to be carried into Feng Dao's arms by the eunuch.

But at that time, the Later Jin Dynasty was in the context of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the political situation was really unclear. It was obviously difficult for a young ruler to succeed to the throne to win over people's hearts and frighten enemy countries, so it was not a good choice.

Especially when there are other candidates, it is naturally extremely unwise to choose a young master.

Moreover, Shi Jingtang's entrustment was not open and above board, but the two people secretly talked quietly and entrusted it to Feng Dao alone.Although Feng Dao is also loyal to him, establishing a young master is not an easy task after all. The young master himself does not have much power. If Feng Dao insists on establishing a young master, he may incur the interests of many people.

In the end, let alone becoming the co-lord of the world, or protecting himself, I am afraid that the young master has no plans to grow up. With the fighting between powerful ministers, whether the Later Jin Dynasty can survive in the end is still a big problem.

Even if they win in the end, what is the future of the severely damaged Hou Jin? Where should they go?It was just that the Khitans from the north took advantage of the situation and invaded.

What surprised them was that Shi Chonggui sent the envoy to Yelu Biao Deguang so quickly!How did this happen? Not long after he took the throne, he began to only call himself a grandson but not a minister?Li Shimin didn't understand.

When you first ascend the throne, shouldn't you learn from Liu Heng, Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, lower your profile first, wait until you have sorted out the country's political affairs and gathered power in your hands, and then make a detailed plan based on the gap in strength between the two sides before taking action?
Although he has always been brave and brave, he has never fought such a battle where he didn't even have the information and just sent out troops.
-
Song Dynasty, Kaibao period.

Zhao Kuangyin was not optimistic about the Shi family father and son at all, and said sarcastically: "These Shi family father and son are really Yelu Deguang's great benefactors. They are such good descendants. Why don't I have such good descendants?"

Don't blame Zhao Kuangyin for his strange temper. If you didn't see it, without Shi Jingtang and Shi Chonggui, the father and son, would Yelu Deguang be able to complete the achievement of opening up and expanding the territory so smoothly?Can you win the Yanyun area at such a small price?
Not to mention anything else, during the Shi Chonggui period, in the several battles of the Later Jin Dynasty, although they did not directly win or fight a good battle, if Shi Chonggui had not made any mistakes, even if the Later Jin Dynasty did not necessarily win, at least it would have been able to persevere. , causing considerable losses to Yelu Deguang.

Zhao Guangmei on the side also thought of someone: "Sang Weihan is really talented. If his ideas can be implemented, maybe there will be a day when he can counterattack the Liao Kingdom."

There is no doubt about Sang Weihan's ability. When Shi Jingtang was deeply involved in the difficulties caused by the Later Tang Dynasty, he was able to persuade the Khitan to send troops to assist. Even though Yelu Deguang's own ambitions for the Central Plains were involved, Sang Weihan still played an important role.

In addition, after the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, he made contributions in the governance of the court and the restrictions on military envoys in various places.

But in any case, no matter how great his contribution to the later Jin Dynasty, it cannot erase the fact that the cession of Yanyun was related to him.

[However, in the matter of sending envoys to Khitan, in addition to Shi Chonggui’s own thoughts, there was another important figure, and that was Jing Yanguang. 】

[After successfully supporting Shi Chonggui to succeed to the throne, Jing Yanguang felt that a large part of this was due to himself. During Shi Jingtang's funeral, he prohibited people in the capital from talking to each other, and then even allowed the civil and military personnel who came to attend the funeral to All the officials dismounted and walked before they reached the palace gate. 】

[In terms of life, he showed an arrogant and tyrannical side, and in terms of whether to be a subject, he strongly supported the view of not being a subject. 】

[Yelu Deguang was naturally dissatisfied after receiving such a letter with obvious intentions, so he sent an envoy Qiao Rong to the Later Jin Dynasty to express his dissatisfaction. 】

[But after Qiao Rong arrived in Houjin, he encountered an unexpected situation. 】

[Jing Yanguang persuaded Shi Chonggui to put Qiao Rong in prison and "kill all Liao traders in Jin territory and seize their goods." Later, considering Qiao Rong's different status, he was not killed and was released. 】

[After being released, Qiao Rong naturally brought back the meaning of the Later Jin Dynasty when he returned to the Liao Dynasty: "The previous emperor was established by the Northern Dynasty, and now it is China's own policy. It is okay to be a neighbor and a grandson, and there is no principle of ministers." 】

[These words aroused Yelu Deguang's dissatisfaction, and also made Yelu Deguang realize that the Later Jin Dynasty was beginning to lose control, so he aroused the idea of ​​​​going south to conquer the Later Jin Dynasty. 】
