Minghao had to use the second move: to feint the attack in the north city and to dig the tunnel quietly in the south city, but this could not be effective in one or two days, so there was a third move: to instigate the rebellion! On the evening of the 6th, several ropes were hung from Beizhou City, and hundreds of imperial guards went up the ropes. Later, these imperial guards did something unethical: they burned all the ropes to compete for merit. So the hundreds of people who had climbed the city walls could only have one result: outnumbered.

In this case, the Song Dynasty had to replace him, Ming Hao became the deputy, and another real big shot appeared. His power should be said to be not as great as Lu Yijian, and his fame was not as high as Fan Zhongyan. But he served as prime minister three times, and the time span lasted half a century! Even the founding prime minister Zhao Pu sighed!

On the 8th, the deputy governor, Wen Yanbo, was appointed as the Hebei Propaganda Envoy. Before leaving, Wen Yanbo walked around his Secretariat and Xia Shun's Privy Council, as if he was saying goodbye to his comrades. Intentionally or unintentionally, he and Xia Dashumi, the highest military leader at that time, looked at each other for a while. As a result, Lord Xia did not hold on, and it became a little unnatural under Wen Yanbo's gentle and personal gaze: Everyone knows that Ming Hao's failure is your efforts! Now I'm on the battlefield, so be honest in the rear!

At this time, Xia Shu was very happy and his luxurious life had returned. As for harming others, he was very serious. Minghao was in progress. Before, he had harmed others and was known to the world, and everyone looked at him. Yes! It was Shi Jie! But he had even defeated Minghao, Shi Jie, and gentlemen. Should he be satisfied? No! Troubleshooting people is an eternal and endless enjoyment! This is just the beginning!

Shamelessness is so great that no one dares to provoke me? But Lord Wen is an exception. His best skill is to repair villains like Xia Shu. One thing can be proved: before he went to Beijing to be the governor of Chengdu, he was impeached by the Censorate when he was the prefect of Chengdu in Sichuan. What is the charge? He did not forget to entertain his work and failed to be completely honest. Speaking of work, it was a disaster year. He successfully controlled the price of rice with various methods, making the land of Shuchuan, which always had trouble, very stable. This is his ability! But at the same time, he was happy and began to be happy. On the other side, he appeared: he was lustful...

When the news came to the capital, Zhao Zhen was very unhappy and sent a censor to quietly go to Sichuan to explore the truth and reality in the name of going home to visit relatives. This was a secret job. The censor traveled carefully, and did not show off, and walked to Hanzhou. Walking further, he was not far from Wen Yanbo. At this time, it was a coincidence that the censor met an old friend in a foreign land and suddenly met a fellow villager who had not met for a long time. He was happy, and he drank and chatted. As he ate and drank, things changed. When Yang Tailiu's singing girl appeared, the lonely censor could not control her for a while, and this happened...

A small thing? The next day, he set out again with righteousness and determined to seize Wen Yanbo's evil braid and calm the officialdom of the Song Dynasty! A few days later, he arrived in Chengdu. The official article started with official articles. Local officials welcomed the censor under the auspices of the prefecture of Wen. The banquet was held, singing and singing. Many dancers were indispensable during the banquet. The censor lifted his face and listened quietly, waiting for a while for Wen Yanbo to kneel down and confessed his guilt and sincerely confessed. However, in the next moment, he suddenly looked deserted and almost fainted! A dancer appeared and sang a new song "The beautiful lady in Shu Kingdom, the censor of Dongtai is lewd, and the censor of Dongtai is leveraging the charming. From now on, he called Yang Tailiu, and danced thousands of east winds." It was written by him to the dew couple Yang Tailiu. This Sichuan beauty was singing in front of him at this moment!

It's over! I came to rectify the wind, but was hit by pink shells... What's the face to say to others? He went back to Kaifeng the next day to report to the emperor "truely": Wen Yanbo was a good young man with good character and a perfect talent that the empire needs most... So Wen Yanbo went to Beijing to serve as the deputy prime minister of the empire!

This matter is just the beginning, and similar good shows will occur in the central government of the Song Dynasty in the future. Lord Wen must make the enemy willing to do things for him. Remember that it is willing, and it is definitely not an ordinary bad mentality of being hated by the threatened person, wanting to kill him quickly. That is too ugly, and the taste of the hereditary literati made Lord Wen disdain to use it. Compared with this, Xia Shu was so blatant that everyone knows that he is really not a good person...

Speaking of which, after these two men were gaze in the Privy Council in the same day, Wen Yanbo arrived at the battlefield on the 16th. He believed that Xia Shuo should restrain himself. First, he was not Ming Hao, and he was not that easy to bully. Second, Ming Hao had never really offended Xia Shuo, but Xia Da Shuo didn't like him. He used national interests to vent his personal anger. He should kill him! But he had to deal with Beizhou City and Wang Ze first!

The fate of people is so different. Minghao keeps trying and failing, without any actual contribution, but all kinds of practical preparations are in place. Especially the authentic tunnels in Nancheng, they were dug up almost at the same time...

On the 1st of the first month of the leap month, the general attack began! The main force attacked the North City, and at the same time selected 200 warriors and entered the tunnel of the South City. Wang Ze and others were fighting fiercely in the North City. The South City suddenly fell, and the officers and soldiers rushed in like a tide... Wang Ze was different. In this case, he came up with a strange trick: concentrate all the cattle in the city, rush the south, stand in rows. Then pour oil on the cows, then ignite the fire cattle and put it on! That's right! This is the legendary Fire Cow Formation of the Warring States Period Tiandan Fuqi!

The solution is a good idea. Unfortunately, times have changed, and I still want to use what happened more than 1,000 years ago to fool people? When the Song Bing, who called Yang Sui, raised his javelin and threw it at the large group of fire cattle! It was in the middle of the bull's nose. Suddenly, the cattle turned around and rushed towards Wang Ze... The Buddhist rebel group died on a group of cows. The Beizhou rebellion took 66 days to be pacified. Wang Ze became a prisoner from the prince of Dongping.

On the 2nd, Wen Yanbo sent Li Jihe back to the court to report his victory, and at the same time asked to behead Wang Ze in Beizhou City. If he was transported to the capital according to the rules, almost his believers were all over Hebei Road, and the risks along the way were too great. But there were still voices of opposition from the capital: Xia Shu, the Privy Councilor, was still him! There was no way, because of the nature of a villain.

On the 9th, Wen Yanbo was promoted to the prime minister of the empire and became the leader of the court officials.

The next thing that happened was the most secretive thing in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. Speaking of Li Yuanhao's death and Beizhou was pacified, Zhao Zhen was very happy. On the 15th of the first lunar month, this is also the Lantern Festival? The emperor had to celebrate the 15th of the 15th year of the year, but was ruined by his Empress Cao. The queen seemed to have some premonition and did not want the excessive prosperity and chaos in the capital at this time...

Sure enough, seven days later, the only palace assassination in the history of the Song Dynasty took place.

According to official historical records, this matter is very simple. On the evening of the 22nd, the Chongzheng Palace personally followed four officials Yan Xiu, Guo Kui, Wang Sheng and Sun Li, without any warning, and suddenly rioted. They crossed the palace walls and entered the inner courtyard of the emperor's bedroom. When they were about to reach the gate, they encountered an obstacle. The people who blocked were palace maids and eunuchs... The four men immediately started killing and drew their swords to chop people. Note: The four brave warriors, holding sharp blades in their hands, failed to kill people, but they just "injured the inner arm". They found that they could not rush into the inner palace at all!

Entering the inner hall, an extraordinary lady appeared extraordinary for the first time. Empress Cao, the granddaughter of the first general Cao Bin, stood up.

This is the bedroom of Emperor Renzong. Most of the time, she is not here. As the queen, she has her own residence, but tonight it happened. She heard the noise outside at the first time. Unlike other people in the palace, she immediately noticed the danger factor of the matter. The first thing she did was to hug her emperor husband tightly and prevent him from leaving the hall to check. She then ordered the door of the hall to close and no one was allowed to enter and exit. At the same time, the eunuchs shouted loudly that Wang Shouzhong, the Da Nei, sent troops to protect the enemy!

The shrill cry of the palace maids came from outside the hall gate, and the eunuchs in the hall were at a loss. They and the emperor themselves were peaceful children who grew up in the courtyard of the deep palace. Although they knew that there was murder in the world, no one had seen it with their own eyes. The eunuch who called He Chengyong actually said: Don't be afraid, this is the wet nurse beating the little girl...

Empress Cao scolded loudly - the thief was killing people outside the hall, how dare you speak nonsense? Next she made two decisive instructions, allowing the emperor to survive the most dangerous period of the night: 1 Go and pick up water immediately, be careful of the thief setting fire to the palace. 2 Everyone comes here, I will cut off your hair with my own hands and give you a reward tomorrow, so as to prove it!

Very wise. After a moment, fires broke out outside the palace gate, and the palace maids and eunuchs all tried their best to support them until the guards arrived...

Historical records: Three of the four rebels were shot dead on the spot. Wang Sheng fled to the north city tower of the palace and hid for a whole day. He was finally found and was dismembered on the spot...

Finally, there is annotation - the only one who did not know what he planned. No one knew who led the matter and who initiated it!

There are so many incredible things. First of all, you say that 4 people can suddenly attack, cross the palace walls, and kill to the emperor's bedroom? This statement is a bit too fierce. I really want to ask you to bring 3 people with you to try it. Of course, I will not pay for your life and death.

Second, you have been lurking in front of the emperor's bedroom, killing people and setting fires, and have a full set of robbery exercises. How long does it take? After all, the guards arrived, why are you so slow?

Third, Wang Sheng, who escaped, was the last clue in the whole case. It took a whole day. I believe the relevant departments had issued a living order, but they were dismembered by random knives. All signs indicate that someone deliberately turned this matter into a dead case and could not be investigated!

So who is this person? In addition, should we investigate again and how to investigate?

Regarding this person, I agree with the conclusion that Brother Gao Tianliuyun has drawn in his book: the assassination of Emperor Renzong was the first-hand plan of Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen himself! Wang Sheng was also ordered to be killed by the emperor! Let’s talk about the evidence slowly. Let’s take a look at the second one: Should we investigate and how to investigate?

This seems like a joke. Such a big case, the only close-range treason in the Song Dynasty, can we not pursue the case of the emperor being investigated? The answer is yes! Privy Councilor Xia Shu stood up and said, "Don't make the enemy uneasy." In other words, don't make things worse and make those who have ulterior motives stimulate?

This is a bit ridiculous? He actually has to take care of the rebels' emotions, afraid that they will be anxious! That means, he has to support them until the emperor is successfully killed?

Ding Du, the assistant minister, was so angry that he was amused and laughed. He said 16 words: "There is a change in the Guard, which is related to the country. This is tolerant, but who is not tolerant." The righteous and stern remarks should be said to be very correct. The safety of the emperor's life is above everything else. This is the most basic principle!

But it was so wonderful and simple, he and Xia Shu argued from early morning until noon, but he actually failed!

Because the emperor agreed to Xia Shu, the case was handled on a small scale, and the Censor and the eunuchs were fully responsible. In other words, all the court officials outside the palace had neither the right to participate nor the right to speak, and could only know an answer given by the official. This made the entire official collectively depressed, especially the Censorate and the Zhijianyuan. They could not understand why the emperor agreed to Xia Shu? He liked to be assassinated, or was there another reason?

On the premise that all clues were cut off, the conclusion could only be that everyone was guilty. The list of personnel of the Imperial City Department was the list of those who were derelict, and they were all exiled. At this time, the problem focused on one person: Yang Jingzong, the leader of the Guard that night. It is said that this was the direct dereliction of duty in this case and should be dealt with seriously and strictly, but the emperor could not bear it. Because he was the brother of Zhao Zhen's adoptive mother, Yang Taifei.

So in order to save Yang Jingzong and the eunuch Yang Huaimin, the emperor personally went on the battle and came to the stage with all the staff of the Censorate. Zhao Zhen seemed to be a self-abuse, just to show a smile to the person who assassinated him? His conversation with the Censor He Tan was very interesting and made people think a lot.

He Tan quoted the classics and spoke up, and said a lot of theories. The emperor only replied to him, "In ancient times, the censors kowtowed and kowtowed their heads, can you?" This was a bit nonsense. It was obvious that the emperor was interrupting. He Tan's answer was even more fun: He said that in ancient times, it was because of a foolish monarch. Now I kowtow, so what are you? So I don't kowtow. You have to understand that whether I kowtow or not, it is all for your own good...

The conversation ended here. Funny answers can only lead to funny results. On the 25th, under the protection of Xia Shu and the emperor, Yang Huaimin was not guilty, Yang Jingzong and five others were released as officials, and the punishment operation was over. At the same time, this only palace assassination in the history of the Song Dynasty ended here.

The above is the official record of this incident. We can see that the victim, Emperor Renzong, did not show even a little bit of anger, panic, or investigation. On the contrary, he kept covering it, as if he was afraid of something being seen. What was he afraid of?

Next, I will talk about one more thing: That night, who made the biggest contribution?
