Meng Chang's sudden death
Things in Sichuan are far from over. Zhao Kuangyin has to face his own army, a name called Quan Shixiong, an unexpected death, and a two-year nightmare.
It is easy to steal money, land, and heads, but it is not so easy to convince people. The Song army used 66 days to make Meng Chang surrender, but it still took a lot of work to really convince the people of Shu to surrender to the Song Dynasty, such as tax cuts and rent exemptions. But a good policy is not good to execute, and it is just a piece of paper.
Wang Quanbins and others still remember their emperor's promise, "Those who I want to get are all the land and all the money and silk are divided into soldiers." Of course, it is a chance to get rich now. However, there is also a small problem of uneven distribution of spoils. Wang Quanbin believes that they have made the most contributions along the way. Shu Road is difficult, and they crawled over, not to mention that they have followed Luochuan Road, and these are not the way people walk on. Moreover, they eliminated the most enemies and fought hard battles. Not to mention that they were the first team to enter Chengdu.
The city team is here. But Liu Guangyi and others disagree with this statement. You are so stupid that you are fighting. Have you ever heard of a soldier who will defeat others without fighting? After Kuizhou, Wan, Shi, Kai, and so these states surrendered one after another. However, it was not easy for us to go all the way. We went up the river, roaring and storming waves, and many brothers were spitting out on the boat. In addition, Liu Guangyi and others were a little dissatisfied. We wanted to rob money and massacre the city, but we had a stubborn mind in our army. We insisted on stopping us and not allowed to do it.
Wang Quanbin has no choice. As the head coach, of course he is following the way he has taken it to himself, but Liu Guangyi's way is nominally his subordinate. Although he likes the palm of his hand, he cannot ignore the back of his hand. In the end, Wang Quanbin decided to give them freedom and take away all those who want to make a fortune! I don't care. It's yours to grab it!
Of course, Wang Quanbin did not treat himself badly. He felt that he had finally reached the level of commander-in-chief and achieved success, so he should make some fortune. He and Cui Yanjin, Wang Renshan and others had already divided the territory and divided the top treasures in the upper class of Shu Kingdom, and their beautiful wife and concubines. Wang Quanbin directly asked Meng Chang. Wang Renshan's level was a little different, so he retreated to the second best, and found Li Tinggui, the attendant of Shu Kingdom. He gave him a charge of burning the culprit. Who asked you to follow the reinforcements of the crown prince that day, and burned all the way when you retreat halfway? Li Tinggui asked Kang Yanze for help. Kang was a wise man. "You are determined to be a sensible man. If you satisfy his desires, you can get rid of the crime." Li Tinggui temporarily married four little wives. He also gave them a million yuan to Wang Renshan, and then he was relieved of the disaster.
The soldiers of the Western Expedition were satisfied and began to drink day and night to let those extremely beautiful women dance and entertain themselves. Wang Quanbin delivered a speech, "Thank you for your hard work, now please forget the Shu Road that is difficult to climb to the blue sky, forget the rolling waves of the gorge, forget the bloody battlefield fighting, forget the running around day and night, let us in this gentle dreamland, in the wine pond and meat forest." But the music stopped abruptly and rushed in with an angry face. Those beauties who were yelling and yelling back in panic. This guy who was ignorant and corrupted the atmosphere was Cao Bin. "The mission has been completed, it's time to go back and hand in the emperor." But Wang Quanbin and others didn't want to leave, and they were no longer happy to go home. They called it maintaining the stable order in the local area. Cao Bin had no choice but to be helpless. Although he was a political commissar, he could not control his life.
Shu was in chaos, and Song soldiers robbed with licenses everywhere.
Even the emperor who was far away in Bianliang knew about it and called the Chief Secretary (Deputy Prime Minister) Lu Yuqing to manage Chengdu.
On February 2, the new mayor received a report as soon as he took office: A military academy took advantage of the opportunity of catching a medicine market in Chengdu and robbed people and property with a sharp blade. Unfortunately, he encountered three fires from Lu Yuqing's appointment and was chopped off his head with a knife. He used a heavy punishment to control troubled times. After this killing, Lu Yuqing finally stopped the robbery of the Song army. The army feared the surrender, and the people lived in peace.
Chengdu has settled down, but what about outside Chengdu? There was chaos in Zizhou: Shu army officer Shangguan Jin gathered more than 3,000 heroes and heroes, and used a knife to "request" tens of thousands of nearby residents to besiege Zizhou City. There were only 300 cavalrymen in Zizhou City. Suddenly, the city was panicked. Only one person was in danger and came up with a plan to retreat to the enemy. This person was Feng Zan, the acting governor of Zizhou, sent by Zhao Kuangyin. Governor Feng had long seen the essence of this group of people, but he was just a robber who was wandering in the night.
, it could not be a big climate. That night, Shangguan Jin came again, and Feng Zan went up to the city tower and supervised the battle everywhere. At the third update, Feng Zan looked at him and understood it, and they all started to beat the fifth update. This scared Shangguan Jin, who had no sign in his hand. He was a Chinese Cinderella and was about to go back to his hometown by dawn. When he heard the gong sounded at the fifth update, he pulled his feet away. Feng Zan, the passionate prince, couldn't bear to leave him, so he led hundreds of people to chase him out, captured him alive, and then was chopped off at Caishikou.
Zizhou, the capital of Dongchuan, finally settled down.
But at this moment, Shu is already a Yellowstone Park, with geysers everywhere. If you hold this one, you will spray it if you can't keep it. And the one below is not a hot spring, it is a volcanic eruption.
It was Wang Quanbin who added fuel to the volcano and made it burst out.
In March, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict that the Shu Kingdom surrendered troops and moved to Bianliang. At the same time, he sent a lot of travel expenses to settle the family. It was this money that made people greedy.
Wang Quanbin was quite dissatisfied with the emperor's policy of waiting for prisoners. Why do those defeated soldiers who lost their country enjoy such good treatment? They had to summon these people to the capital and send a team of people to escort them. Why should they pay each person? Wang Quanbin couldn't understand, so he arbitrarily advocated and cut the money and food of these people in half. After this, the Shu soldiers were angry and confused. So in Mianzhou, 100,000 Shu soldiers supported the surrendered general Quan Shixiong as the commander of the Shu Kingdom and called Xingguo Army. Lighting the spark, it immediately became a prairie fire. Qiong, Shu, Mei, Ling, Jian, Ya, Jia, Dongchuan, Guo, Sui, Yu, He, Zi, Chang, Pu, Rong, Rong, and 17 states responded! More than one-third of the 46 states in Shu were reversed! The postal route was blocked, and Chengdu became an isolated city.
At this time, there were nearly 30,000 Shu soldiers in Chengdu. Wang Quanbin thought that the Shu soldiers could not be allowed to attack inside and outside, otherwise the Chengdu city would not be able to be protected. So he decided to kill 30,000 by mistake, but let one go. He wanted to trick these people into Jiacheng and kill them all. Kang Yanze was still a little conscience and asked to release 7,000 of them. Wang Quanbin had no such kindness. He felt that he had killed 20,000 and didn't care about killing 7,000 more. One day in April, Wang Quanbin lured and killed 27,000 Shu soldiers in Jiacheng.
One general succeeded and ten thousand bones were blew. In order to protect himself, Wang Quanbin immediately put nearly 30,000 white bones under his feet.
In fact, these 27,000 soldiers were not all involved in the rebellion of the entire Shixiong, and one other person died: Meng Chang.
How did Meng Chang die? Officially, he was depressed. On the 7th day after he was appointed as an official, he couldn't think of it and got angry to death.
But Meng Chang doesn't look like a person who will be depressed no matter how hard he looks. He is very fat. His portraits can be found on the Internet, and the portraits of Meng Chang are all given by a peerless beauty, Mrs. Huarui. It is said that the kings of Shu who fell into ruin before and after had one wife. Wang Yan's wife Huarui's wife was surnamed Xu, and Meng Chang's wife was surnamed Fei. Because their beauty can only be described as the sprig in the flowers, later generations called them Lady Huarui's wife Big and Big.
Legend has it that Fei Huarui was taken into the ** by Zhao Kuangyin after Meng Chang's death. But she often missed Meng Chang, so she drew portraits of her old lover in the hall and visited her day and night. One day she saw it by Zhao Kuangyin and asked who this person was and why you worship him. Of course, we can't tell the new lover that she was thinking of her old lover. Fei Huarui made up a beautiful lie, saying that this person was Zhang Xian, whose function was similar to Guanyin for giving birth to a child, and she begged him for a child.
There is such a god who thought that the concubines in the palace who were noble of their mothers and sons would also invite them back to worship. The palace has always been a trend-oriented trend among the people. So Meng Chang's portrait was spread to the people through the name of Zhang Xian and has been passed down for thousands of years. To this day, his obese body is known to us. In addition, there is also a proof that Meng Chang's fatness is: Meng Chang is very afraid of heat and once specially built a crystal palace for summer vacation. Of course, fat people are always afraid of heat. Prove that Meng Chang's fat body is fat, and according to the "broad heart and fat body", Meng Chang's heart should be broader. And his subordinates can also prove this. Most of them are often defeated generals, but after they are often defeated, their official career is still open.
Meng Chang, who was broad-minded, should not be a person who would suffer from depression. Those who did not pursue and had no goals would suffer from depression. Meng Chang was a master who pursued excellence in material civilization. He never drank semen and urinated. The Song Bing counted the old things in Shu Palace and found that it was made of seven treasures, which was extremely exquisite drowning weapon. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin was not an emperor who could not tolerate others. As early as when he was conquering Shu, he built a beautiful nest, which was specially used to attract Meng Chang, the phoenix of Song Dynasty. On May 15, as soon as Meng Chang entered Bianliang, the second-ranked figure of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, personally held a warm and grand welcome ceremony for him in Yujin Garden in the suburbs. After entering the city, Zhao Kuangyin personally welcomed him. On June 5, he was successively granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the chief tutor and the Secretariat, and the Duke of Qin. Therefore, his life after his destruction was relieved, and his living standards would not decline too quickly.
Finally, Meng Chang would never be depressed. If nothing unexpected happens, he would be better than Adou, who lived a happy life in Bianliang. But Meng Chang died on June 11. He must have died of a bad life. To be more specific, he should have been poisoned to death. But why did Zhao Kuangyin, who always wanted to kill people and not kill people, wanted to kill people and not let Meng Chang go?
Some people say that it was because Zhao Kuangyin fell in love with his wife, Mrs. Huarui, so he was guilty of being poisoned to death. It sounds very reasonable. Men's hatred is often caused by women. Moreover, Meng Chang's wife is said to be a peerless beauty. What flowers are not enough to imitate their color, the slim skin is not enough to show their appearance, and the icy skin and jade bones are cool and sweatless. Anyway, what you think is beautiful, just pile them on Mrs. Huarui. It is normal for such a beauty to be taken by Zhao Kuangyin.
But the founding emperor, Taizu of Song, should be able to tell who is inferior to who is inferior to Shu. How could he poison Meng Chang to death for a woman and leave himself accused him of being infamous? Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin still had the old idea of being beautiful and suffering. He once summoned Mrs. Huarui for confusing Meng Chang and causing the demise of Shu. Mrs. Huarui was calm and recited a poem: Trees and flags are lowered on the King's City. Where did I know that I was in the deep palace? Fourteen thousand people were lifted out of their armor, and none of them were men!
Mrs. Huarui and Meng Chang have been together for a long time, and the husband and wife are harmonious, and they are indeed in harmony. Even the excuses are the same when they fail. Meng Chang said that no one shot an arrow for him east, and she said that none of them is a man. Legend has it that even Zhao Kuangyin, who deliberately provoked the trick, was very happy and fell in love with her and included her in the palace. But it is said that the poem was written after Meng Chang's death. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin did not personally get the cuteness of the beauty, and even made the beauty a disaster. Of course, he would not poison Meng Chang to death for Mrs. Huarui.
I could only push to the tent of the entire army. Who made the entire army known as the King of Xingshu? Meng Chang in the capital has become the spiritual leader of this group of rebels.
Perhaps even Zhao Kuangyin did not expect that Meng Chang, the king of the country who lost his country, had a high reputation among the people of Shu. On that day, Meng Chang left Chengdu, and the people of Shu were surrounded by the people, and cried. Hundreds of people along the way were mourning. Perhaps it was because the Shu people still remembered the diligence and love for the people when the emperor first ascended the throne. Perhaps it was because Meng Chang had been in Shu for too long, and in 31 years, the people of Shu watched their emperor turn from a wise boy to a king of a devastating country. Now they were like their parents who saw their unsatisfied son wanting to travel far away from home, and maybe they would be bullied by outsiders in the future. Although they suffered the suffering of their evil sons, they still had to feel distressed and couldn't bear it.
Zhao Kuangyin can tolerate villains and losers, but he cannot tolerate people who fail but do not lose their power. For example, Meng Chang suddenly became crazy at a young age and fled into Shu. With the great image he established in his early years, he aroused the beautiful memories of Shu people. He might have a big wave again.
Therefore, Meng Chang had to die.
When the people of Shu heard about Meng Chang's death, there may be many people who were crying and sad, and Mrs. Huarui might be sad in the middle of the night. But no matter how sad she is, she will not be as sad as Meng Chang's mother. For a man, especially a failed man, the person who is the best for him will always be his mother.
In Bianliang City, Empress Dowager Li also had fantasies. It was given to her by Zhao Kuangyin. She was respected as the mother of the country. Zhao Kuangyin even said to send her back to her hometown for two days. Her hometown? Empress Dowager Li remembered Taiyuan, which was her hometown. Shu was just a dream of flowers and a miserable dream. Ye Luo always returned to her roots. She said to Zhao Kuangyin, "I am from Taiyuan, if I can go back to Taiyuan, I will be enough." This is exactly what the emperor is thinking. Taiyuan is the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin was planning to recover. Now the old lady said she wanted to return to Taiyuan. Could it be that God told me that the Northern Han Dynasty could be pacified and Taiyuan could be obtained? The emperor immediately agreed to "If Liu Jun is pacified, it would be as my mother wishes." Empress Dowager Li was happy. She even wanted to lose Shu this time.
She may be a good thing. But her son has died inexplicably. Empress Dowager Li couldn't understand that her son died of depression as others said, or was poisoned to death? But how he died is no longer important, and even whether there are enemies or not. When the child dies, he knows that everything is empty. Empress Dowager Li has lost the reason and pillar to live. Perhaps it is time to gather with her husband and son. At that time, she scolded Meng Zhixiang: Why did he conquer the country but didn't teach his son how to live in the country? Empress Dowager Li's tears have long been dried up. She raised the wine and said, "You can't die in the country, you are greedy for life until today. And the reason why I don't die is because you are here. Now that you die, how can I use my life?" So she went on a hunger strike. (To be continued)
