Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

I can't see the scenery of Song Dynasty, I'm so anxious.

Zhang Fei hurriedly wrote the note and threw it into the light curtain to echo His Majesty Erfeng.

Seeing his third brother eagerly staring at the light screen and spinning around in circles, Liu Bei felt a little dizzy, so he simply said:

If third brother wants to know about the affairs of the Song Dynasty, you can wait until you are free later and just write a note and ask as you did just now.

Zhang Fei smacked his lips regretfully:

Brother, you don't know. How can listening to what Zhao Da said compare to seeing it with your own eyes?

Sitting next to him, Ma Chao, who was also looking forward to it, nodded in agreement.

As he spoke, Zhang Fei felt a little regretful for a moment, then on a whim he cupped his hands in front of the serious light curtain and said:

Light curtain, light curtain, descendants, descendants.

I want to practice the method of traveling through time and the Zhao Dashu boxing. Is it possible to make it easier?

Zhang Fei's face was full of seriousness, and the light screen remained motionless without any change.

So Zhang Fei could only helplessly rub his beard and continue walking in circles.

Kong Ming suddenly laughed:

Yide is a smart man, and he is actually tempted to share the worries of Emperor Song.

This is not sharing worries.

How could Liu Bei not understand his third brother? He said clearly:

Then how come Zhao Da's military background can't control Zhao Er? Yide just wants to watch the fun, and maybe he can kick Song Taizong.

Kong Ming was speechless for a moment, Zhang Fei smiled and did not refute, but slipped over and pinched Liu Bei's shoulders and said nicely:

It seems that A Douzhen and my brother will have peace of mind.

Although these words sounded a bit strange for a moment, Liu Bei nodded and admitted.

Immediately, Zhang Fei hit the snake and put it on the stick, saying:

In this case, it would be better to summon Feng'er to Chang'an and strengthen the brotherhood with Adou.

For Liu Bei, it would be a lie to say that he is not interested in this proposal. After all, what parent does not want to enjoy the joy of having their children around their knees and enjoy a family relationship?

And now he is just Liu Feng and Adou, but after thinking about the letter Liu Feng wrote to him during the Chinese New Year, he finally refused:

Feng'er has his own ambitions, I... shouldn't stop him.

After the battle of Jingxiang, Ma Di was reassigned to Chang'an by Liu Bei as an agent of the general's office. He usually came up with ideas and ran errands and performed duties very diligently. As long as he was not allowed to lead the army, he was considered a good official.

Mi Fang is simple. Mi Zhu personally keeps this cheap younger brother by his side, and is careful not to let the younger brother get involved in military affairs, and strictly orders him to study arithmetic to understand business affairs.

Liu Feng was a little more complicated. Liu Bei refused to obey when he first summoned the remaining troops. A month ago, Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Wu, and Adou went to Chang'an. Liu Bei wanted to reunite, but still refused.

Not only did he not obey, but he also sent back a long and sincere letter, saying that although he was the son of General Zuo, he could not bring peace to the people and could not punish thieves, so he asked himself to join the army and express his merits to his father when he was granted the title of Marquis.

Therefore, despite his intentions, Liu Bei finally shook his head and patted his third brother's arm to show his approval.

Zhang Fei felt a little sad. Although he was trying to persuade his elder brother, he was thinking of his second brother instead.

If you want to restore the Han Dynasty, will it be difficult for brothers to reunite?

…

Manna Hall.

Since he couldn't watch the brothers fighting, Zhao Da didn't say a word, and the whole hall became drowsy.

Li Shimin tried his best to curse:

If you can't describe this or that, you can't describe it with a pen, so what's the use of this history book?

Although this was already the consensus of Zhenguan officials, Du Ruhui still sighed:

The mysterious death of the noble family in the early Song Dynasty is too much.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling nodded together, and Fang Xuanling briefly commented:

Compared to his elder brother, Zhao Er is even more virtuous.

Wei Zheng also sighed. The excitement he had when he first learned about the Song Dynasty's worship of Confucianism had long since disappeared. He even said:

If virtue is not measured, misfortune will be severe; if virtue is not measured, disaster will be widespread.

Those with weak virtues have low ambitions and occupy high positions. They know small things but plan big things. They have little strength but heavy responsibilities. They are rarely inferior to others.

After despising Zhao Er, Wei Zheng was a little confused. Judging from what later generations said, he also recited classics, but it can also be seen that Confucianism has long declined.

Could it be that the world of great unity that the Confucian sages longed for was just an elusive dream after all?

The ministers were all talking lazily to each other, discussing softly with each other how the Song general was doing.

Chu Suiliang, who was diligently recording the content on the side, was secretly alert in his heart. Historians serve as biographers for the country, and if they are straight, the country will be upright. If the country is upright, it can set an example for the world and serve as a clear lesson for future generations. It should be used as a lesson.

[It is not difficult to see from the Golden Chamber Alliance that even if Zhao Tingmei died, the aftermath of Zhao Kuangyin's death has not completely dissipated.

And this has to mention the key figure in the second half of Song Taizong's dynasty: Zhao Pu.

According to the fragments left in the history books, Zhao Pu was the main contributor from Zhao Tingmei's exile in Luoyang to her move to Fangzhou.

For example, when Li Fu of Kaifeng Prefecture stated that Zhao Tingmei had no regrets at all, it was Zhao Pu who was instigating her behind the scenes.

In addition, the former prime minister Lu Duoxun was very unlucky in the Zhao Tingmei case. Not only was he beaten to the end, but he was also sent to Yazhou. This was Zhao Pu's former political enemy, and he was the one who excluded and persecuted Zhao Pu.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is very obvious that Zhao Er and Zhao Pu got what they needed before and after the Golden Chamber Alliance incident:

You help me kill my political enemies, and I help you frame your clan. The cooperation is quite pleasant.

History of the Song Dynasty commented on this: Tingmei was abolished, Duoxun moved to the south, and the power of Pu was achieved.

However, before the phase butt obtained by the Golden Chamber Alliance had warmed up, Zhao Pu was kicked out of Bianliang for the second time. The reason this time was quite simple:

Zhao Yuanzuo doesn't like him.

Zhao Yuanzuo is the eldest son of Zhao Er. According to sporadic historical records, Zhao Yuanzuo grew up as a child and looked exactly like his father, so he was extremely loved.

After leaving the imperial court, he not only took him with him early, but also moved his residence directly to the East Palace. All aspects were cultivated according to the specifications of a prince, except for an imperial edict to establish the prince.

But it is a pity that although Zhao Yuanzuo is very similar to Zhao Er in appearance, he is far inferior in heart.

As the eldest son of Zhao Er, he has been very close to his uncle Zhao Tingmei since he was a child.

After Zhao Er started to attack Zhao Tingmei, Zhao Yuanzuo repeatedly interceded for his uncle, which made Zhao Er particularly unhappy.

However, the relationship between father and son was still there at this time. Although Zhao Yuanzuo could not let his father let his uncle go, he could still let his accomplice Zhao Puma go away. This was the reason why Zhao Puzai was released again after two years.

Three years after being released, Yongxi's Northern Expedition started with great vigor. Zhao Pu, who was dispatched to Wu Sheng's army, had been paying attention to the war situation. Seeing that the war was delayed for a time, Zhao Pu sent Zhao Er a Class Discipline to persuade Zhao Er to withdraw his troops.

Zhao Er would definitely not listen. The result was that Yong Xi's Northern Expedition was defeated, and the Song court was in a critical internal and external situation.

In this case, Zhao Er urgently needs a scapegoat... No, he needs a respected veteran to turn the tide.

At this time, Zhao Pu was widely praised in the Song court for his foresight in Class Master Shu, and the prince Zhao Yuanxi also urged Zhao Er to summon Zhao Pu back to take the blame.

So Zhao Pu, who was already sixty-four years old, paid homage to the prime minister three times and came back to block Zhao Guangyi's bullets.

Wait, some viewers may be wondering at this point. Wasn't the prince still Zhao Yuanzuo? Why did he become Zhao Yuanxi here?

This matter is quite simple. After the news of Zhao Tingmei's death in grief reached Kyoto, a stone fell from Zhao Guangyi's heart, while his eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo finally had a string in his heart broken: Tingmei died, Yuan Zuo Zuo Sui went crazy.

In addition, the year before Yongxi's Northern Expedition, Zhao Er summoned his children to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. Zhao Yuanzuo, who went crazy, set fire to the palace on the pretext of being left out. The fireworks were not extinguished until dawn the next day. Naturally, Zhao Yuanzuo could not hide these things from Zhao. Second, Zhao Yuanzuo was deposed and demoted to a commoner.

In addition, later generations have speculated that Zhao Yuanzuo was actually afraid of the throne because he witnessed his father's various sloppy things, so he pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool. However, this theory lacks concrete evidence and can only be shelved for the time being.

Zhao Yuanzuo was deposed, and Zhao Yuanxi, who took over the position of crown prince, did not have a free life for a few years.

Seven years after Yongxi's Northern Expedition and five years before Zhao Guangyi's death, 27-year-old Zhao Yuanxi died suddenly.

Not surprisingly, the death of Zhao Yuanxi was also one of the mysterious cases in the early Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yuanxi was only one of them to die suddenly. Zhao Kuangyi also liked this son very much and wanted to posthumously make him a prince at the funeral.

As a result, Zhao Yuanxi's favored concubine Zhang was hanged by Zhao Er for trespassing before the title-challenging ceremony was held. The tombs of Zhang's parents were destroyed and the whole family was exiled.

Zhao Yuanxi's crown prince ceremony was immediately stopped and replaced with a first-class burial ceremony. There was a long list of officials in the Kaifeng Mansion who were jointly held accountable and dismissed.

The above is the record of Zhao Yuanxi's events in the official history. It is obvious that there are many ambiguities and doubts.

Li Tao, in his Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian Chang Bian, added a saying spread by unofficial historians like a dragonfly:

It is also said that Yuan Xi fell ill due to eating other things by mistake, as well as his personal affairs in the palace.

Judging from this sentence, Zhao Yuanxi seems to have changed from a violent death to a death by accidental ingestion of poison. When thinking about the unknown deaths of Li Yu, Qian Chu, Zhao Kuangyin and others, it is difficult not to make the literati at that time think about it.

As for why Zhao Guangyi's attitude towards his son was so different after his death, Li Tao also briefly noted one thing in his works.

Zhao Guangyi was furious because of Zhao Yuanxi's death and arrested all the officials in the government for torture. Wei Yu, the doctor from Zuo Jianyi, advised:

The cruel prince of the Han Dynasty cheated on his father's soldiers. At that time, the speaker was punished for his crime. Now King Xu's fault is not that serious.

The ancients were often extremely careful when giving examples to advise, let alone facing the emperor.

For this reason, Wei Yu's example of Liu Ju is quite intriguing. It is almost certain that the death of Zhao Yuanxi was at least involved in some possibility of rebellion, but Zhao Yuanxi may have just been used, and those suspected of rebellion may have been favored. Zhang family.

There are very few records of this matter in the Song Dynasty, so it is considered another unsolved case.

For this reason, the final crown prince became Zhao Yuankan, the third son of Zhao Er, who later became Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng. 】

One madness and one rebellion, not bad.

Zhao Kuangyin lay on his chair and put his feet up on Zhao Guangyi's previous stool as a footrest. Zhao Kuangyi just sat on the ground with his legs covered and his face raised.

The whole scene is very indecent, but no one would bring bad luck to the officials, so they just pretended not to see it.

Zhao Kuangyi endured the pain and retorted:

The madness may be due to pretending to be mad, or it may be because the female family members in the mansion want to rebel.

From Zhao Kuangyi's point of view, he couldn't decide whether Zhao Yuanzuo was really crazy or fake, but he could roughly guess what happened to Zhao Yuanxi.

After all, considering the details of Prince Ru's rebellion, and considering that the Zhang family was hanged for trespassing, Zhao Kuangyi could easily smell a conspiracy.

After all, I also knew that judging from the age of Zhao Yuanxi when he died, he must have a real wife.

With a legitimate wife, the concubine was domineering, and through Zhao Yuanxi, he repaired the tombs of his parents beyond the standard. It is impossible to say that this crazy concubine took Wu Zetian as a warning and wanted to repeat the plan, but there may have been a mistake later, which caused Zhao Yuanxi to drink poison.

There are so many possibilities, and Zhao Kuangyi doesn't want to guess.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed so hard:

If he is pretending to be crazy, it means the father and son are separated.

If you follow the opposite direction, you will be blind in your examination.

You are not only a good brother, but you are also a good father. As a brother, you only know that today.

Zhao Kuangyi was silent and speechless.

It was Zhao Pu who slightly relieved Zhao Kuangyi's embarrassment.

In this awkward atmosphere, Zhao Pu took off his hat and bowed his head:

I feel ashamed of being an official, so I must resign.

Seeing the gray hair of this old minister, Zhao Kuangyin stopped the smile on his face and sighed:

Why is Zeping like this?

One moment and another, I blame you for the crime that has not yet been committed. How can you convince everyone?

However, seeing the younger brother next to him raise his head with hope, Zhao Kuangyin also directly extinguished his hope:

As the King of Jin, you should be different.

What is the difference! If he hadn't been unable to stand up, Zhao Guangyi would have wanted to roar at his brother, but this could only exist in his imagination.

The words that finally came out of my mouth had a sense of begging for mercy:

If the officials don't want to kill me, I dare to ask the imperial doctor to relieve the pain.

Zhao Kuangyin became extremely impatient and scolded:

It hurts a little, just be patient.

If you don't want to endure the pain, I will lend you a piece of hemp rope from the official's house. You can use this low stool to choose a place you like. No one will stop you.

Zhao Guangyi's face turned red, but in the end he didn't dare to be brave enough to ask for the hemp rope.

After scolding his younger brother, Zhao Kuangyin turned to Zhao Pu and became friendly again:

If Zeping believes in me, please take back your words.

If you want to see Yanyun, how can you do it without your help?

Then Zhao Kuangyin stood up, rearranged the veteran's hair, and then put the hat back on.

Zhao Pu did not speak, but bowed his head again, and then stood silently behind Zhao Kuangyin, vaguely blocking the palace door.

Seeing his younger brother who was blushing but not daring to look at him with his eyes lowered, Zhao Kuangyin sighed in his heart.

Then I thought about all the previous things, hesitated for a while but finally pointed to a yellow door:

You are good at painting and calligraphy, and you have made this scene in the palace realistic.

Xiao Huangmen accepted the order with trembling hands and a sad face. Then, in the eyes of other Huangmen with different expressions, he immersed himself in painting with a windy and cold posture.

Zhao Pu guessed the purpose of this painting, but his mind was already thinking about how to use this light curtain to help recover Yan Yun.

I wonder if Marquis Zhuge Wu and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had visited the scene early, what would later generations gain from that?
