Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[Looking back, Zhao Er looked down on Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and was very particular about Er Feng. Apart from being a little unclear about it, the bigger reason was also because of the changes in the reputation of Emperor Qin and Han Wu during the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The most typical example is the young emperor Zhe Zong mentioned earlier.

When Emperor Zhezong Zhao Xu was in power, he asked Su Shi's younger brother Su Che Zang to deny government affairs. In this process, it was inevitable to talk about the gains and losses of the previous dynasty, that is, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty.

Su Che used the logic that the father works in front, the son saves in the back, and it is the filial piety of the saint to help the front and back to compare Song Shenzong to the various shortcomings of the Western Han Dynasty that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty recounted.

As a result, before he finished speaking, Zhezong was furious: How dare you slander the late emperor!

So the good court discussion suddenly became tense, and Fan Chunren stepped forward to rescue him, saying that Emperor Wu was a great talent and had no derogatory words in history.

At first glance, this matter is very ridiculous. After all, the talents of Han Dynasty do not need to be recorded in history. The Xiongnu is Liu Che's best credit.

But this incident can reveal the big things from the small, but it can actually make people understand many things that are incredible in the Northern Song Dynasty.

As we all know, reform was the main theme of Shenzong's dynasty, and in Shenzong's dynasty, Sima Guang, Su Shi, Su Che, Lu Gongzu, Wen Yanbo and others were all opponents of reform.

Shenzong died, Zhezong succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao listened to the government behind the curtain.

During this period, Gao Taotao vigorously abolished the New Deal, which was known as Yuanyou Genghua in history.

As a result, the old party gained full power, and under the leadership of Sima Guang, it began to completely deny the reform. This is why Su Che, an opponent of the reform, could stand in front of Zhezong and explain the reform to him.

From today's perspective, the reason why Gao Taotao rejected the reform was more out of considerations of consolidating his grandson Zhezong's throne.

We mentioned the Golden Chamber Alliance before. Although the authenticity of this thing is doubtful, since Zhao Guangyi has actually become Song Taizong of the Song Dynasty, then this thing must be real.

Zhao Er himself was happy, but Empress Dowager Du's phrase young children rule the world in the Golden Chamber Alliance became the ancestral law of the Song Dynasty.

This sentence in the Golden Chamber Alliance has become the best banner to seize the merit of support.

For this reason, even before Shenzong became seriously ill, Xing Shu, Cai Que, Zhang Dun and other ministers were already planning to establish King Yong or King Cao as emperor, planning to follow Zhao Er's example again and achieve first-class success.

In view of this, Gao Taotao launched a clean-up reform with the slogan restoring the laws of the ancestors as the first priority, and joined forces with the old party Sima Guang and others to stabilize Zhezong's throne and avoid another possible candle shadow ax sound .

Su Che's comparison of Shenzong and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may have been simple at the beginning. He intended to use Shenzong's reforms to compare Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's militarism.

In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the Luntai Edict to discipline Zhezong, the young emperor, and told him to remember that he must completely suppress the reform.

But I didn't expect that Zhezong would not follow the routine: How dare you use the tyrant Emperor Wu of Han to refer to the late emperor?

Looking at it now, there are two reasons why Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han gradually became tyrants in the late Tang and early Song Dynasties:

First, since the Anshi Rebellion, the whole world has been affected by the chaos of feudal lords and towns. Those with strong soldiers and horses will bring disaster to the people. This is the most real sentiment of the people at the turn of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The second is that the Song Dynasty has been losing endlessly since the defeat of Gaolianghe, and its policy of emphasizing civility over military affairs and internal affairs over foreign affairs naturally looked down upon the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. , people who are extremely extravagant in their palaces.”

If Erfeng hadn't opened the Zhenguan rule, he would have suffered from a few big-eared melon seeds from the Song Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats.

In addition, the phrase Tang Zong and Song Zu has also been around since the Ming Dynasty. It is intended to appreciate the achievements of these two emperors in establishing the Tang and Song dynasties respectively. It is not a deliberate rhyme created by the teacher.

But that’s it for now, let’s take a look at Qinyuanchun, which has been praised as “the first work in history”. 】

In the palace of General Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Fei was furious when he heard that Zhezong felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not worthy of comparison with his father:

My eldest brother clearly explained the merits of Emperor Xiaowu. This Song Dynasty man is really good-looking!

Even though he was immersed in writing, he wanted to scold him.

After all, future generations can just criticize them, and they can only bully their ancestors without being able to retaliate. But for Zhang Fei and others, we are not dead yet!

However, before he finished writing the note in his hand, he heard about the difficulty of Zhe Zong's succession to the throne, so he immediately changed his mind:

No, it's Zhao Er who deserves to be scolded!

After saying that, he rolled up the note he had just written and tore it off again. This actually attracted Ma Chao's attention:

The third general doesn't think this little emperor is ignorant?

What's there to say? Zhang Fei sighed:

The first is my father's official name, and the second is to protect my father from the criticism of these gossiping ministers, which can be called filial piety, and...

As he spoke, Zhang Fei's face suddenly turned ferocious and he banged the table:

I remember, isn't this Su Zhe the shameless guy who claimed that the land of Yanyun was cut off but was only for his own benefit?

As he spoke, Zhang Fei threw his pen:

I really want to meet Mr. Su and let him understand what it means to be a heroic hero of Yan and Zhao!

The noise was quite loud, but no one took it seriously. After all, it was very difficult for someone with such a smooth talk and seduction to forget.

Moreover, the three generals and the lord all came from Zhuojun and belonged to Yanyun, so it is normal for people to be angry.

Ma Chao arrived late and didn't know that he was dead. After Zhang Fei's explanation, he was dumbfounded and became angry together:

I am lucky that I was not born in the Song Dynasty, so that I would not be stained by such dirty people.

It was rare for the two of them to have a common language, and the unhappiness they had felt for a while disappeared again. By the way, they also made a reservation to warm up wine and perform martial arts together in the evening to keep out the cold.

But soon, the attention of the two generals was taken away by the calligraphy that appeared on the light screen.

After all, the younger generation made it very clear that this work has the reputation of the first in history, and although Zhang and Ma both focused on martial arts, they were also proficient in writing, so it was natural to wonder what kind of work deserved such praise.

But at one glance, the two of them were stunned, staring at each other for a long time, unable to recover.

Until Ma Chao gently poked Zhang Fei with his finger:

Yide, can you understand?

Zhang Fei turned around and looked up and down at Ma Chao's expression before saying relaxedly:

I understand.

Ma Chao raised his head and said:

Although this word seems to have an edge in the pen, and it is continuous and like a spirit riding through the formation, but I half understand the word. Can you please read it to me?

Clearing his throat, Zhang Fei said calmly:

Well...the scenery of the Northland...frozen...snow falling...inside and outside...dance...

Ma Chao felt that he still underestimated the face of the three generals: Do you understand?

Fortunately, at this moment, a line of words slowly floated across the light screen, which alleviated the dilemma of everyone in Han Chang'an:

〖Li Shimin: The scenery of the northern country is frozen for thousands of miles... I can't count the famous people today.

Li Shimin: He is as bold and broad-minded as if he were standing on the top of a mountain, looking at the eternity, and his unrestrained and majestic is like being crushed by thousands of horses. He is truly the best in literature and poetry! 〗

Kong Ming laughed while copying:

If His Majesty Erfeng hadn't relieved our worries, we would have almost become illiterate.

Zhang Fei argued with reason: Military advisor, I still know a lot of words.

Automatically filtering out the noise of his third brother, Liu Bei nodded and said:

Later generations have the convenience of paper. It seems that there are many people who are good at calligraphy.

Then he sighed and said:

I am not as good as this state of mind.

Pang Tong smiled and said:

The descendants have seen the heaven and earth that we have never seen, and created achievements that are difficult for our generation to achieve. They have the heart to look down on the eternity. This is limited by time... and science. My lord does not need to worry about it.

Liu Bei nodded and then tore off a piece of paper.

〖Liu Bei: Looking at this poem, you can see that the person looks up to the universe and embraces the heaven and the earth. On the contrary, he thinks that I can only conquer Guanzhong according to Tongguan, so he feels a little complacent. He should reflect on himself.

Zhuge Liang: Thank you for your kindness from His Majesty Erfeng.

Zhang Fei: That Su Che, don't let me, Lao Zhang, know who your ancestor is! 〗

This is Zhuge Wuhou.

Li Shimin moved his shoulders and felt a little bit dumbfounded:

Since you know your gratitude, can't you call me Taizong? Even just calling Shimin alone will do.

When I saw this poem just now, Zhenguan Wenwu was conquered by its majestic artistic conception. I wished I could climb the Great Wall in winter and see the world described by it.

On the one hand, Li Shimin was shocked that he was looking at the eternity, and on the other hand, he was also impressed by the fact that he could be among the few people mentioned.

After all, from the few words he heard from his juniors, he could be considered to have been yearning for this teacher for a long time.

And as a person who is obsessed with calligraphy, Li Shimin immediately realized that Zhuge Wuhou and others would have a very difficult time reading the cursive script that was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

So he simply no longer suppressed his joy at seeing this copybook, and copied it on the light screen, and the characters were completed for Zhuge Wuhou to see.

Seeing that the goal was achieved at this time, Empress Changsun could not help but feel proud:

Even if you are Marquis Wu, don't you still have to accept my kindness?

After smiling and praising her husband for his meticulousness, Empress Changsun was dumbfounded when she saw what Zhang Fei said:

Is it possible that Marquis Zhang of Zhuo County wants to blame people for the words of countless generations of descendants?

Li Shimin understood this, even though he told his queen that Han Huanhou was probably angry because of Su Zhe's exclusive benefit from the land without the shame of ceding the land. It was not simply because of how contemptuous the Song Dynasty was towards Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. And angry.

There were many monarchs and ministers in Ganlu Palace who were not aware of this matter. They all thought about it carefully and looked strange after hearing what was said.

Pei Xingjian, a young man, is quite straightforward:

Since this statement has been handed down from generation to generation in the humerus book of the country, does the Song minister think that if the Song Dynasty is destroyed, the Song minister will still exist?

Li Shimin was startled when he heard this. Thinking of the difference between the descendants of Confucius in the north and the south, he felt that it was really possible, but there was no need to say such things to Pei Xingjian.

Young people should keep their hearts pure and rarely know such dirty things.

So Dang even changed the topic lightly and said:

Posterity people say that I am less charming. It seems that no matter how busy I am on weekdays, I still keep reading the book. Even if I don't read it, just opening the book will be beneficial.

As he spoke, Li Shimin glanced at Chu Suiliang, which made the official of the Tang Dynasty a little unsure:

Does Your Majesty intend to copy the useful allusions that Zhao Er opened the book?

Fortunately, Li Shimin did not tease Chu Suiliang again, because a new name appeared on the light screen for the first time:

〖Zhao Kuangyin: It is my honor to be ranked with His Majesty Taizong.

Zhang Fei: Zhao Da, are you okay? I thought you were beaten by Zhao Er.

Zhao Kuangyin: I’m sorry to trouble Marquis Zhang, but my brother, the King of Jin, attempted to rebel and assassinate me, but he has already been punished.

Zhang Fei: That's fine. I have nothing else to ask for. Will Yan Yun be restored?

Zhao Kuangyin: I should serve as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. 〗

After replying to Zhang Fei, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt a little more anxious.

Emperor Qin, Emperor Han, Wu Tang, Emperor Song, there was a king who was far different from the other three, and he knew who he was.

The decision made with Zhao Pu ten years ago to start things easier and then make things more difficult was not only to seek safety, but also to rely on youth and strength.

But after two years, maybe... Cao Bin needs to be urged. Jiangnan is already a sure win. When the chaos is cut with a sharp knife, he plans to advance north, conquer Taiyuan and attack Youzhou.

After all, he had made a promise to the Chinese ancestors at this time, and he must fulfill it.

After thinking about it and looking at his brother who was still unconscious, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt a little conflicted.

Zhao Pu saw clearly from the sidelines. Although the two of them were not as sincere as Emperor Zhaolie and Marquis Zhuge Wu, they had been working together for more than ten years, and there was no red tape in the details:

Are the officials worried about what the King of Jin did and what they did not do by the King of Jin?

This was a bit roundabout, but Zhao Kuangyin understood it and nodded thoughtfully.

The sound of the candle shadow's ax was vague, but it was nothing more than the matter of his younger brother's death and his succession to the throne.

If his death was caused by his younger brother, he would be saddened by the fratricide, but he would be relieved that the calamity of death has been resolved.

But on the other hand, if he really died suddenly, then...

Zhao Pu did not know medical skills, but at this time he could only try to suggest:

It's better for the officials to explain their symptoms later and see if Emperor Zhaolie and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty have good doctors around them and can they find an ancient prescription...

As he talked, Zhao Pu himself was a little unsure, but Zhao Kuangyin let out a long sigh and felt that this was all he could do.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but angrily kicked Zhao Er again. Well, he could swear to God that he never kicked the broken leg intentionally.

The figure lying on the ground sat up with an ouch, and then a sharp voice echoed in the hall:

How brave! Who actually assassinated me!

The faces of the officials in Zhao Pu's sight were suddenly clouded. Although it was already dark enough, at this moment it was really dark, like the sky before a strong summer storm.

My, my, my dog's feet!

If you fail to achieve civilized and military achievements, you will bring disaster to the country and the people and blame your descendants. The foundation of the Song Dynasty will be destroyed by your hands!

Zhao Kuangyin cursed loudly.

It is true that he was born in the military, but after more than ten years of deliberate training to become emperor, his political sense is not bad.

Therefore, just by recalling the past events, you can guess almost everything.

Later generations previously talked about this Zhe Zong, calling it an external reform method while promoting internal reforms.

And now it is said that the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, in order to help her grandson Zhezong stabilize the throne, fought against the reform in exchange for alliance, so a simple plot can be sorted out.

When Shenzong carried out the reform, Zhezong succeeded to the throne and the Queen Mother opposed the reform. Zhezong was in power and implemented the reform. After Huizong succeeded to the throne, she opposed the reform again.

It probably only lasted more than 20 years. The government had changed several times, and it was said in later generations that Sima Guang completely rejected the New Deal. Zhao Kuangyin felt that the Song Dynasty might have fallen into a huge trouble of party struggle at that time.

Regardless of ability and political achievements, but only looking at old and new backgrounds, no wonder Hui Qin died in the Northern Song Dynasty! Zhao Kuangyin felt that he had almost guessed the truth.

Zhao Guangyi, who suddenly woke up, went from confused to angry to forced smile in just one breath. Then he tilted his head and salivated at the corner of his mouth:

Brother, I want to eat roast lamb for dinner.
