Chen Qian Donating Soil
The advantages of literati governing the country were quickly reflected. Zhao Guangyi accomplished two things.
On August 10, 1977, the administrative power of all prefectures and counties across the country was completely taken over to the central government. From then on, the Jiedushi became a complete honorary title. Taiping Xingguo was "Xing".
Quickly rectify coins and regulate the financial market. Before the Tianyou period of the Tang Dynasty, every hundred coins meant 100 copper coins, and it was enough to be pounded and the same as the same pounds. However, after Tianyou, there were constant wars, and there were only 85 copper coins per hundred coins. During the Tiancheng period of the Later Tang Dynasty, it was reduced to 80, and during the Ganyou period of the Later Han Dynasty, it was reduced to 77. Entering the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin stipulated that every hundred coins would rise to between 80-85 copper coins. But these are all official numbers. Putting aside the quality of copper coins, the "History of the Song Dynasty" also publicly admitted that "all states use privately, but they still follow the customs." The most exaggerated one was to use only 48 copper coins as 100 coins. On September 9, Zhao Guangyi stipulated that 77 copper coins should be 100 coins, and the weight of each thousand coins must reach more than 4 and a half jin. From then on, a hard benchmark was set for the quantity and quality of copper coins, making the copper coins cast in the Song Dynasty quickly become the most solid hard currency in East Asia.
At this time, we opened the national map and saw that there were Northern Han who refused to surrender in the north, and there were two regimes in the south that worshipped the Song Dynasty as the main story, but were actually semi-independent: Qian Chu's Wu Yue Kingdom, and Chen Hongjin's Zhang and Quanzhou.
The sequelae left by Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed the Min Kingdom in 945: At that time, Liu Congxian was in charge of Zhang and Quanzhou, and surrendered to the Southern Tang Dynasty. In March 962, Liu Congxian died and his nephew Liu Shaoqing succeeded him. However, he was falsely accused of having an affair with Wu and Yue, so Liu Shaoqing was escorted to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Chen Hongjin supported Zhang Hansi to become the master of Zhang and Quanzhou. In April 963, Chen Hongjin locked Zhang Hansi in his own Zhang Mansion and forced him to hand over the seal of the Jiedushi, so Chen Hongjin officially became the new master of Zhang and Quanzhou.
On April 25, 2018, the third year of Taiping Xingguo (978), the governor of Pinghai, Chen Hongjin, followed the advice of his aide Liu Chang, and voluntarily surrendered from thousands of miles away. He brought all his family members and 151,987 households in 2 prefectures and 14 counties in Quanzhou to Kaifeng City to ask Zhao Guangyi for a house for retirement. It is known in history that "Chen Hongjin contributed land"
Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed. On the 29th, he appointed Chen Hongjin as the governor of Wuning, and was appointed as the governor of Pingzhang. He also appointed his eldest son Chen Wenxian as the envoy of Tongzhou Tuanjian, but he still returned to manage Quanzhou. His youngest son Chen Wenyan was the governor of Chuzhou and went to manage Zhangzhou.
In September 893, Qian Miao, who suppressed the Dong Chang Rebellion, was appointed as the governor of Zhenhai by Emperor Zhaozong of Tang. In May 902, Qian Miao was appointed as the King of Yue. In April 904, Qian Miao asked the court to be named King of Wu Yue, but Emperor Zhaozong of Tang refused. Later, under the arrangement of Zhu Wen, Qian Miao was appointed as King of Wu Yue by Emperor Taizu of Liang. Although he was divided into two places in the southeast, Qian Miao respected his ministers no matter how the dynasty of the Central Plains dynasty changed. In March 932, Qian Miao died, leaving behind the descendants the legacy of "good dedication to the Central Plains". His son Qian Yuanguan succeeded to the throne, and the national strength of Wu Yue continued to develop, but Qian Yuanguan lived a luxurious life and spent an astonishing money on building palaces. 94 In July of the year, a fire burned almost all the palaces he had run for his life into ruins. A month later, Qian Yuanguan, who was mentally ill due to the fire, died of illness, and his son Qian Hongzuo succeeded to the throne. During his reign, the Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed Fujian. The Fujian general Li Renda surrendered and rebelled again, asking for help from Wu and Yue. Qian Hongzuo disagreed with the public and defeated the Southern Tang army on earth and landed on one stone, defeating the Southern Tang army in one fell swoop, and put Fuzhou in his arms. In June 947, Qian Hongzuo died and his younger brother Qian Hongyu succeeded to the throne. He was tough and angry that Qian Hongzuo was accused of supporting the generals. He was not his own, and killed the old generals to establish his authority. However, the veteran Hu Sijin took action first. In December, Qian Hongyu was abolished and his younger brother Qian Hongchu was the king. He avoided Zhao Hongyin's taboo and changed his name to Qian Chu.
Qian Chu, who has been the King of Wu Yue for 30 years, has long realized that the unification of the world is inevitable. Qian Chu lamented: Who made him moved by Zhao Kuangyin and took the initiative to enter the court in three years? Now it is three years of Taiping Xingguo, and he can never escape it. Of course, you can also ask for leave and pretend to be sick. There are many ways to do it. But if that is the case, what is the difference between Li Yu and Li Yu? Don’t forget what Li Yu’s charge is! Stubborn and not ruthless…
Okay! Then go on the road... Qian Chu once again traveled thousands of miles into Kaifeng City. On March 25, he met the new emperor in Chongde Hall. Zhao Guangyi received a grand reception and expressed regret. The reception was hosted by Zhao Dezhao three years ago, and the banquet was held by Zhao Defang. Lao Qian! We didn't have the opportunity to talk more. Now we have to seize this opportunity and get close to each other. You have been here for a long time, but you have to stay for a few more days... So Qian Chu's beautiful days in Kaifeng City were extended indefinitely. It was so long that he made a statement and asked for resignation for more than 30 times in a row, but Zhao Guangyi refused to agree to him to return to Hangzhou.
Hangzhou people have climaxed the construction of pagodas for Qian Chu in the local area. The names range from "Baochu" to "Save Chu" and "Living Chu", and pray that their king can return home safely. I believe that Buddha will always feel pity.
In this way, the Wu Yue people became the most special group of people in Kaifeng City. They dressed in rich clothes, sang, danced and feasted all day long, and were extremely noble. But they were frowning and gloomy. What should I do?
The solution did not come, but the disaster came. On April 25, Chen Hong came in Kaifeng to offer soil. Kaifeng celebrated. It is said that some people set off a few big firecrackers outside the gate of the Wuyue Guild Hall, which shocked Qian Chu to the point of no one. But in this way, Qian Chu was still unwilling to accept it. His subordinates were even more unwilling to surrender "Three thousand miles of beautiful rivers and mountains, 110,000 armored elite soldiers" and surrendered in such a unclear way? Fortunately, Qian Chu had a clear-headed minister Cui Renji, "The court's intentions can be known. The king did not accept soldiers, and the disaster came." Qian Chu still hesitated. He had already understood the truth. But when the matter was about to come, he still couldn't bear it... and the other ministers around him were still talking nonsense. Cui Renji sighed, "Everyone, who have wings?" Everyone didn't know what he was talking about. Cui Renji sighed, "If you don't have wings, how can we fly back to Hangzhou?"
Qian Chu smiled bitterly and shook his head. In the end, this one can't escape that day, okay! On May 1, Qian Chu submitted a letter to the 13 states and 1 army of Wuyue, a total of 550,608 households in 86 counties. Two days later, he exchanged a hat of the King of Huaihai, and gave his son Qian Weijun, Qian Weizhi, and grandson Qian Chengyou to find three honorary titles: Huainan Jiedushi, Zhenguo Jiedushi, and Taining Jiedushi. Cui Renji, who actively worked for Qian Chu, was also awarded the official as the deputy envoy of Huainan Jiedushi. It is known in history that "Qian Chu offered land"
At this point, Southern China was finally fully incorporated into the territory of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Guangyi had only been emperor for two and a half years. Without using a soldier or a man, he made Qian Chu and Chen Hongjin voluntarily surrender and sacrificed his land. Of course, this was also the foundation laid by Zhao Kuangyin before. But it is undeniable that Zhao Guangyi successfully accepted the empire and quickly got on track, making the country more prosperous and powerful, forcing the Gentiles to submit and surrender!
We should thank Qian Chu (including Cao Bin before) and others for saving Jiangnan a military disaster. When the disaster came 150 years later, the Jiangnan land based on Wu Yue and Southern Tang could support the broken half of the country for Zhao Guangyi's only bloodline. The Zhao Song officials did not treat this Qian King who "the people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least". They expressed their gratitude in a special cultural way. "Hundred Family Surnames" was written in the Northern Song Dynasty, and together with "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" were called "Three Hundred Thousand" as "Three Hundred Thousand" became
Children's Enlightenment Books have been passed down to this day since the Song and Yuan dynasties. "Bai" is just a simple list of some surnames. Its arrangement is based on the catchy standard. However, the first four surnames "Zhao Qian, Sun and Li" have special significance. Zhao was the surname of the Song Dynasty at that time, so he should be ranked first. The surname Qian was the surname Qian Chu of King Wu Yue, while the surname Sun was the surname Qian Chu, and the surname Li was the surname of the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the surname Li Yu of the Song Dynasty used a simple and far-reaching list of surnames of the "Hundred Family Surnames" to illustrate their gratitude to the Qian family of Wu Yue and the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The whole country celebrated in the Song Dynasty. But at this time, there were people in Kaifeng City, where the lights were shrill and the voices were silent. Everyone was happy and the whole country celebrated alone on the railing. The only talented man in China who has been in the past five thousand years, his bad luck is coming...
Li Yu, the Duke of Longxi County, has been "living" in Kaifeng for more than two years. "History of the Song Dynasty" clearly states that "Li Yu, the General of the Right Qianniu Guard, said that he was poor and gave him three million yuan." Many people looked at Li Yu. What's going on? I thought it was still so wasteful in your Jinling Palace? What's more, the kind Cao Bin allowed you to bring your treasures to Kaifeng to live a rich life. Did you lose all of them in one or two years?
Recalling the first month of 1977, Jia Huangzhong discovered the "Li's Palace Pavilion relics in the inner treasury of the palace, but he did not take Yu Ji. Zhao Guangyi used this money to pay 200,000 yuan for each of his first emperor students to pack money. Poor Li Yu, who cheated the money away, and he didn't even know where the money went.
Li Yu finally knew what money means to life.
This is the torture of material life on Li Yu, and Li Yu was also tortured by the spiritual world. When he first arrived in Kaifeng, Zhao Kuangyin often asked him to drink and eat, and discussed literary issues at the dinner table. This made him feel particularly uncomfortable. Talking about literature? It was obvious that he was happy with him! But 10 months later, he understood how tolerant Zhao Kuangyin was to him. Because the big bitch Zhao Guangyi suddenly became the emperor.
Zhao Guangyi gave Li Yu 3 million guan of copper coins, and took away his dignity and his women. The way was open and righteous. The ministers had to pay homage to the emperor every day, and women with imperial edicts also had to go to the palace to worship the queen regularly. Li Yu's wife Xiao Zhou was named the wife of Zheng State. She had to go to the palace every month and stayed for many days each time before she could come back. As for what happened...
Li Yu was angry, but he could only pick up the pen and transform the endless pain in his heart into words and sentences of blood and tears. So he became famous...
The country is unfortunate, and the poet is lucky. The words are as vicissitudes as the vicissitudes. In just two years, Li Yu quickly pushed the folk-style thing like "ci" to an unprecedented level. It is no longer a whineless whine like a prince of Wuling, or a search for flowers and willows like a prince of Wuling. No matter how future generations belittle him as the king of the country, they have to admit it—"The vision of the Ci comes to the Lord Li, and his emotions become deeper."
During Li Yu's sad and lonely days, three old friends came to visit him. The first one came was a fisherman, "Do you... still know me?" Li Yu was shocked. It was his hometown accent in Jinling. The fisherman raised his head. It took a long time before Li Yu remembered that this was the son of a minister, named Zheng Wenbao. Zheng Wenbao's thousands of words were condensed into a sentence, "You must be cautious and cherish the tolerance of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to you. Never think about it." Li Yu nodded frequently. He may not know that the words he wrote in the past two years have already spread to the world and are well known to everyone.
Zheng Wenbao left, Zhang Qi came. Li Yu never expected that Zhang Qi was no longer the prime minister he had used to. He came to beat Feng! Li Yu was reluctant to say anything more, and there was no valuable thing at home, only a basin made of platinum. He threw it to Zhang Qi, and the man disappeared immediately!
The third person is Xu Xuan. When they met, Li Yu could no longer control his emotions and suddenly burst into tears - regret that he shouldn't have killed Pan You and Li Ping! Li Yu was immersed in his emotions again. He was tearful and he didn't see the difference between Xu Xuan at this time and before. Xu Xuan didn't say anything, and he quickly said goodbye, and then went directly to the palace to report his life, repeating every word that Li Yu said just now. But history can testify: he really doesn't know what the big bitch is going to do next!
On July 7, 978, the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, Li Yu's 41st birthday. On this night, many people, most of them were women, walked from every corner of Kaifeng City to Li Yu's home. This day was sacred for them. Because they wanted to celebrate Li Yu's birthday!
The door was closed. The Song Dynasty was still in the world outside, and the door seemed to be the Jinling three years ago... Everyone laughed, and they sang and danced for Li Yu like they did back then, enjoying a moment of entertainment. That night, Li Yu thoughts over, crossed the mountains and rivers, thousands of miles of barriers, and returned to his hometown Jiangnan. His former homeland. The hatred of the country's destruction and the wounds of his life experience have never been as clear as tonight. Some words and sentences seem to come from the sky, and after thousands of years, countless literati chant and examined, they cannot delete a word from it. Because it is the sound of Li Yu's fate that belongs to Li Yu - when will the spring flowers and autumn moon be? How much is the past? The small building was windy last night, and the homeland was unbearable to look back in the moonlight. The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces are changed. I ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward...
The song floated out of the door, out of the wall, and into the Song Dynasty Palace. Such songs only explain in the hearts of the big bitch - Li Yu wanted to ride the east wind, follow the spring water, and return to Jinling to rebel!
So, before the singing stopped, someone knocked on the door. King Zhao Tingmei of Qi brought the emperor's brother's congratulations and a glass of wine... Li Yu died in severe pain. The death was extremely miserable. The severe abdominal pain made his body bend, and his head involuntarily touched his toes. This is the "poisonous poison of the machine".
For Li Yu, it is most suitable to use his own desperate words to pay tribute to him. "The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, and the spring is gone. The silk quilt cannot withstand the coldest moments. I don't know that I am a guest in my dream, and I am greedy for a while. Don't lean on the railing alone, the infinite mountains and rivers. It is easy to see it when you part. The flowing water falls and flowers are gone, and the sky and earth are gone." Finally, I am free! The latter master is good, let's go! Don't be exiled to the earth again!
Li Yu was dead. When Zhao Guangyi heard the reward, he didn't even frown, but issued an order to posthumously confer him as King of Wu and buried him in Beimang Mountain. At this time, Zhao Guangyi was thinking about a big thing, and his eyes turned silently to the north, which filled him with desire - Northern Han!
First of all, it is the last domino. As long as it is added, the situation will be perfect. Secondly, the enemy is really strong. No matter what kind of attacks it has been, it has never fallen. Whether it is Chai Rong or Zhao Kuangyin, the two strongest people in this era have been in charge of the army, and the Northern Han Dynasty has been steadily unstoppable. So what about me? Zhao Guangyi can no longer curb his excitement...
