All of this was clearly seen by Zhao Pu, who stood in the distance and watched coldly. When there was no one around, Zhao Pu slowly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Only then did Song Taizu say what he said, "I'm thinking about something. In the past 50 years, the world has changed its surnames, not counting the people who call the king of the country. If it continues so chaotic, when will it be the end?" In fact, there are even more words that have not been said, "Now, I, Zhao Kuangyin, are the 9th family. What should I do to prevent the 10th family from appearing?" Zhao Pu's words were extremely important in the history of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Song had been stable and prosperous for more than 300 years,

Weakness and pain can be said to have deeply planted the roots from this moment. "Your Majesty considers this, the blessing of heaven, earth, man and god. This is not other, only 8 words: Fang Zhen’s power, the king is weak, the minister is strong. If Your Majesty wants to cure it, Pu has 12-character formula: seize the power, control the money and grain, and collect the elite soldiers." Zhao Pu still has something to say below, but before the words were finished, the upper part stopped "You don't need to say it. I understand." Why didn't Zhao Pu continue to say it? Because Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that Zhao Pu would cut, kill, chop and other words as soon as he said it. But he couldn't say it casually. Once he said it, it would be

Common problems in the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties: the king and his subjects were suspicious. Besides, Zhao Kuangyin did not want to be the second Liu Bang. Zhao Kuangyin had not yet made a conclusion on how to reduce the military power of the imperial guards. It seems that although Zhao Pu was sloppy, he had to take on a major task at first and asked him to come up with a plan to pacify the world in one day. But Zhao Pu's words have revealed the secret. It must be admitted that the prescriptions prescribed by Zhao Pu did indeed cure the disease for the past 50 years. But if you think deeper and look farther away? Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu, did you never think that doing so would fundamentally bring the vitality of the country and the people.

The clan's self-esteem was suppressed, and in the end they became more and more exhausted and died. Do they really think that if they did this, there would be no 10th surname (regardless of the Han surnames in the hundred families or foreign surnames) to challenge them? I can't give them the answer, but history has answered them: his dynasty has lived for a total of 319 years. Since the reunification of the Qin Emperor, this record has ranked second only to the Han Dynasty. There are almost no female disasters, eunuchs, clan relatives, and strong vassals. The history of the Han Dynasty has seen almost all of them. Isn't the result of such a comparison enough?

In March of the second year of Jianlong (961), the two bosses of the Imperial Army: Murong Yanzhao was dismissed as the governor of Shandong Dongdao, and Han Lingkun was dismissed as the governor of Chengde. From then on, the official position of the palace was permanently treasured and entered the History Museum of the Song Dynasty. If someone wanted to copy Zhao Kuangyin's path to success, I'm sorry, this road was no longer open. Shi Shouxin was temporarily in charge of the commander of the Sima Infantry Army, and the validity period was more than 100 days. After the expiration, you were invited to drink and sign a contract.

The reason why Zhao Kuangyin suspended the military power was his mother, Empress Dowager Du, the first old lady of the Song Dynasty, died on June 2, which also left a mystery to future generations.

Speaking of the dying Empress Dowager Du suddenly asked his son, the Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty, "How did you say you became the emperor?" At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was so stupid that he couldn't answer anything. But Empress Dowager Du just didn't close his eyes and asked him to answer. Zhao Kuangyin had to say, "This is all the virtues of his ancestors." Empress Dowager Du shook his head, "No. The only reason you can become emperor is that Zhou Shizong died young, the young lord was too young, and people were not in love with him. So after you die, you must make your younger brother Guangyi the emperor. This Song Jiang

Only when the mountains are stable can the mountains be stable. According to history, Zhao Kuangyin immediately agreed (perhaps out of comforting his dying mother). Next, Empress Dowager Du was hot and said, "Zhao Pu, you should write this affidavit in front of me immediately. We will write the affidavit, don't regret it." Zhao Pu finished writing the affidavit and signed the three words "Chen Pu Ji" at the end of the paper. Then it was put in the palace's special box "Jin Kui", which was collected and kept by the Jinmi Palace people. The above is the official record of the "Golden Kui Alliance".

The mystery of the authenticity of the "Golden Chamber Alliance" is obvious just by looking at what time and environment it will appear next. The second time the Golden Chamber appeared was in the 6th year of Taiping Xingguo. It was only after Zhao Guangyi had been emperor for five years that he was suddenly proposed by former Prime Minister Zhao Pu, who was eager to make a comeback in politics.

Think about the situation of the monarch and ministers at that time: Zhao Guangyi had always lived in the shadow of vicious rumors such as "usurping the throne" and "killing brother". Moreover, on the first expedition to Yanyun, due to his willful deliberation and escape in the battle, Zhao Kuangyin's first heir, Zhao Dezhao, had been forced to commit suicide by him. Both the Song court and his personal prestige had fallen to the bottom. Zhao Pu had been suppressed by his mortal enemy Lu Duosun for nearly seven or eight years. Not only did he live like a year, but his son almost became a victim. Is Zhao Puru really having such a magic weapon, why didn't he sacrifice it earlier and turn himself over with Zhao Guangyi?

In a word, the so-called "Golden Chamber Alliance" is just a small political trick, but a small deal between Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi, two top conspirators in the Song Dynasty - you let me come back to power, and I will let you make a safe transition.

Of course, some people want to use the words of the Yuan general Boyan to the king and minister of the Zhao Song Dynasty when the Song Dynasty was destroyed in the last time, "You get the country and the loss of the country are children" to prove that the Song Dynasty's demise was precisely because it did not abide by the spirit of the "Jinkui Alliance". I sneered and disdained to refute this. May I ask, who can predict this sentence of the above three surnames Zhao?

27 days later, when Song Taizu's mourning period expired, the issue of military power was put on the agenda again. Zhao Pu kept advising Zhao Kuangyin to accept the military power of the imperial guards. Zhao Kuangyin said, "They are all my brothers of life and death, and they will not betray me." Zhao Pu "I am not worried that they will rebel. But they are not the ruling talents. If their subordinates also put on their yellow robes, how will they end at that time?" Song Taizu suddenly realized. In early July, he asked Shi Shouxin and others to drink (they were the ones who had developed the culture of banquets to the extreme). When they were in a good mood, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly became famous.

However, he left his left and said to Shi Shouxin, "It's not you, I can't be the emperor. But you don't know that being an emperor is really better than being a governor. I can't even sleep well all night." Shi Shouxin and others asked what happened. The emperor's answer pointed to the key point, "Who doesn't want to do this?" This scared Shi Shouxin and knelt down and sweared without any other intentions. He asked the emperor to show them a way to live, and Zhao Kuangyin really gave them a way to live--release military power, go out to guard the big lord, make an appointment for marriage, accumulate more money, and entertain themselves for his whole life. The next day, Shi Shouxin and others took the initiative to retire.

On July 9, 961, Song Taizu kept his promise and arranged new jobs for them one by one: Shi Shouxin, the eldest son of the guards, the third son of the guards, the third son of the guards, the third son of the guards, Gao Huaide, the second son of the guards, the third son of the guards, the third son of the guards, the third son of the guards, the third son of the guards, the daughters, and the married wife, and the married wife, all the heroes of all the senior generals of the imperial guards were lifted! The palace was inspected in the extreme.

After the sensitive position (there were 3 people who had been revoked from the creation to the cancellation of positions: Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin, and Murong Yanzhao), the position of deputy chief inspector was permanently cancelled (2 people in total: Murong Yanzhao, Gao Huaide). On September 3 of the following year, Shi Shouxin's contract expired and he was allowed to be dismissed. The position of commander commander of the Sima Infantry Army was also permanently collected. From then on, the horse army and the infantry army were separated. The "two departments" became "three yamen", and the highest chief became three people - the commander commander of the hall, the commander commander of the cavalry army, and the commander commander of the infantry army, collectively known as the "three commanders"

The above is known in history as "Song Taizu released military power with a cup of wine". A general was in great success, but all the generals were all calmed down, but they were beaten away in just a glass of wine. After the sunset, these former Zhou soldiers, Song Dynasty soldiers took their luggage and left Bianliang to enjoy wealth and prosperity in various places. In the future, they can also talk about their bravery in the past: how to resist Liao soldiers in Yedu, how to rebel in Chanzhou, how to quell the rebellion, how to defeat the more in Gaoping, how to steer the horse with less, how to steer the horse in Huainan, and how to reach Youzhou. Perhaps when talking about the Chenqiao mutiny below, Li Yun and Li Chongxing, they might blush a little, and then take it with them, and don't want to mention it more, right? Then, afterwards? There is no below. Their military career

It stopped suddenly. These veterans who were galloping on the battlefield should still be somewhat reluctant to leave. After all, they were still a hero who led thousands of troops yesterday. There are still many places to use their skills in the world. Jiangnan has not yet been obtained, Yanbei is still lost, Western Shu is still in the separatist, and the Northern Han is holding on. If they stay, they might be able to achieve another great peak in their lives, right? But after retirement, they can only sit and wait for death. But they should be more grateful and glad. Looking at the Chinese history books, there are many examples of winning the world and killing heroes. The literary circles in front, Han Xin, Xu Da and Li Shanchang behind. Maybe there is no need to turn the front and push back. Look at the Five Dynasties, Guo Chongtao, Wang Jun and others ended up miserably because of their great conscience?

It was a good time to release military power with a glass of wine, a political struggle that was very likely to cause mutiny, and the army had a drastic change, but everyone had a happy situation.

Later generations have recorded the merits of this matter on Zhao Pu. Zhu Xi, "Zhao Pu assisted Taizu in governing the world, conquering the power of the vassal states, and establishing the country for two hundred years, isn't it the merits of benevolence?" Benevolence is benevolence, but not Zhao Pu's benevolence, but Zhao Kuangyin's benevolence. Just like Yue Fei's death, the fault is not Qin Hui. How can the merits of the glass of wine belong to Zhao Pu? Zhao Kuangyin is a true master of benevolence, good at fighting against the soldiers. In the Chenqiao mutiny, the warriors were almost bloodless. Today, it was another way to eat and drink to cut off the roots of the Five Dynasties' rebellion. His strategy was deep and both benevolence and righteousness, and he pushed forward for a thousand years and a thousand years. I chose him as the first person, and I am afraid there are not many objections? Maybe someone would object: Don't put gold on Zhao Kuangyin's face. Chenqiao mutiny is clear

It is unkind and unrighteous, bullying orphans and widows. And releasing military power with a glass of wine is just a villain's behavior of a rabbit and a dog cooking, and a bird hiding its bow. Yes! These two things are disgraceful and a bit false. But the disgraceful ones are not necessarily bad, and false things should sometimes be respected. Just imagine that Zhao Kuangyin did not seize the throne, and Chai Zongxun was in the chaotic world of the Five Dynasties at the age of 8. Can his world sit still? It is only a matter of time before the Zhou Dynasty is not safe. And who can do so perfectly like Zhao Kuangyin and not harm the people? In treating meritorious officials, cooking dogs and hiding bows is just the way for emperors. Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang could not avoid it, and of course Zhao Kuangyin could not avoid it either. But who is as beautiful as him, benevolence and righteous as him, and everyone was happy in the end?

The next year and a half, Song Taizu's political achievements were not good, and it was roughly the following small things. First, the three prime ministers of the former Later Zhou Dynasty: Wang Pu compiled 100 volumes of "Tang Huiyao" in January 961. On August 29, it compiled 40 volumes of "Records of Zhou Shizong" in 2014. It is very good and promising. What we need in the Song Dynasty is such a literati and poet. Although Wei Renpu was the family of Zhao Kuangyin, he had already hated the struggle for power and wealth, and he was ill and wanted to retire soon. Although the emperor forced him to stay in his post, he was only in his position and did not do his own politics. Fan Zhi was

In July 961, two memorials were submitted. The first one was to recommend the emperor's two younger brothers. So on July 11, Zhao Guangyi became the Yin of Kaifeng and Zhao Guangmei became the governor of Shannan West Road. The next one was to recommend the emperor's two ministers: Lu Yuqing, Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin all readily adopted them. Yes. This is the attitude that should be taken in the handover work. On August 18, because he suspected that Sun Xingyou, the governor of Yiwu in Dingzhou, had a ill-intentioned plot, Song Taizu issued an edict to remove Sun's official title and imprison his private title. During this period, Zhao Kuangyin also tasted the prestige of the Han emperor.

In August 961, the Jurchen Kingdom traveled thousands of miles to pay tribute to famous horses. In April of the following year, Li Yixing, the leader of Dangxiang, paid tribute to 300 war horses. Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed that war horses were a good thing that the Song Dynasty urgently needed but did not produce. In addition, the emperor personally supervised the worker and made a jade belt to give to Li Yixing. At this time, no one would have thought of: Jurchens, Dangxiang, this insignificant tribute would be paid twice as much as possible by the Zhao Song government and the billions of innocent people in the Central Plains. On January 15, 962, Zhao Kuangyin rebuilt Kaifeng Imperial City according to the drawings of the Luoyang Palace. On April 18, he chased
