After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Hongyin , Han Lingkun and others led their troops day and night. When I passed by Chuzhou , night had already fallen, and I thought it would be better to go to the city to rest overnight.
"Report, General Zhao, someone shouted outside the city, saying that your old father came here and asked to stay for one night."
Zhao Kuangyin When he heard this, he rushed up to the city tower. Although he is the same as his father, he is in a different detachment after all, and the father and son rarely have the chance to meet. What a surprise it would be to be able to meet my old father on the battlefield at this moment.
However, Zhao Kuangyin calmed down and thought about it carefully. At this moment, he had just captured Chuzhou City for two days. All kinds of things were like a mess, and various complex relationships were not clear. He suddenly opened the door to welcome his father. If it was spread, would the emperor have doubts about him? What would others think of him?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin had an idea in his mind. He walked to the city wall, holding a loudspeaker.
"Dad, now I am not just your son. I am also the ward sent by the emperor to guard Chuzhou. Instead, the emperor is optimistic about this place. The opening and closing of the Chuzhou city gate are both national affairs. Son cannot open the door late at night just because we are father and son, and let you in. Please camp outside the city and wait until dawn tomorrow, and my son will go out of the city to welcome his father."
In this way, the old father Zhao Hongyin was locked outside the city gate by his son for a whole night, and he was able to enter Chuzhou City until the next morning.
Regarding this matter, the historical book said that Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that someone would pretend to be his father at that time and was worried that the spy would sneak into the city, so he closed the door and refused to let his father go into the city.
In fact, if you look at your dad, can you still not know what is true or false?
In my opinion, Zhao Kuangyin's move is another "public show". His "pretending" behavior was just to further increase the trust of Chai Rong in .
That's it. Zhao Hongyin and others stayed outside the city all night, waiting until dawn before entering Chuzhou City. It was early spring at that time, and the tents in ancient times were not very good to keep warm. As soon as Zhao Hongyin entered the city, he felt uncomfortable. It was probably because he had a cold.
Chai Rong sent Hanlin bachelor Dou Yi to take people to take stock of the warehouse in Chuzhou. There was a young man named Zhao Pu , who came to serve as the judge of Chuzhou.
Zhao Kuangyin and he fell in love with him at first sight, and the two had a great time talking.
pair is Zhao Pu who "half the Analects of Confucius rule the world". He is introverted, taciturn, and has not studied much since childhood, so he has a low education. He entered the officialdom through the back door and became an aide to the governor of Yongxing Army Liu Ci .
Since then, Zhao Pu has been following bigwigs like Liu Ci and learned a lot of the governing concept of letting the people recuperate.
Shortly after the Battle of Gaoping , Liu Ci passed away. Before his death, Liu Ci strongly recommended Zhao Pu to Chai Rong.
But Chai Rong had already had the "all-talented boy" at that time Wang Pu , and he didn't even have the chance to give Zhao Pu an interview, so he just stuffed him to Zhao Kuangyin.
is cheaper again. This is the third thing Chai Rong did to "plant trees by himself and let Zhao Kuangyin enjoy the cool air". He created an excellent "Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty". Zhao Pu assisted the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, and once served as prime minister three times.
A series of political thoughts, bureaucracy and military governance theories he formulated had fully influenced the rule of the Song Dynasty for 2300 years. Of course, this is also a later story, so I won’t say more here.
Jinling , after a series of battles, Nantang was defeated repeatedly, which made Li Jing feel restless and had the idea of "seeking peace" in his heart. So he sent Sizhou Ya general Wang Zhilang to Shouzhou to seek peace.
As soon as Chai Rong opened the Southern Tang Dynasty's "Letter for Peace", he was very upset when he saw Li Jing calling himself " Emperor of Tang Dynasty ". Looking further back, Nan Tang was willing to treat , Houzhou in the way of treating his brother countries, and sent a lot of money every year.
Chai Rong felt that Nan Tang was not sincere enough, so he just like Meng Chang wrote to him at the time, and ignored the letter and drove Wang Zhilang back.
When Li Jing saw that the envoy was driven back, he guessed about it by about 70 or 80 points. He sent Hanlin scholar Zhong Mo and Ministry of Works Li Deming to bring royal utensils, tea, medicine, 1,000 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, 2,000 pieces of silk, 500 cows, and 2,000 liters of wine to the city of Shouzhou again, hoping to lobby Chai Rong to withdraw his troops.
Chai Rong knew that these two people had always been known for their "good eloquence", so he asked the troops to come out to form the formation first. They were all energetic and carried out military exercises with long swords. Zhong Mo and Li Deming were so scared that they sweated on their heads.
They looked again and saw that the high-ranking Emperor Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty was indeed different from that of a mortal, and they were self-righteous. So Zhong Mo and Li Deming couldn't help but kneel down.
"Your lord Li Jing claims to be a descendant of the Li surname of the Tang Dynasty. Unlike others, you should know what etiquette is. It has been more than six years since Emperor Taizu established the Later Zhou Dynasty. You and I, the Later Zhou Dynasty, are only separated by Huaihe , but never sent an envoy to greet you. It would be fine if you don't come and go with us, but you have not traveled thousands of miles and crossed the ocean to collude with Khitan ! Abandon the Central Plains and serve barbarian . Where is the etiquette? Where is the righteousness?"
Chai Rong paused and said again.
"I guess, you two must have been here to persuade me to retreat in the Hou Zhou army. But you are wrong. I am not the stupid kings of during the Warring States Period. How could you be lobbying for your lord? Go back and tell your lord, let him come to see me and apologize to me in person. I may consider stopping the army because of his sincerity. Otherwise, I really want to visit your Jinling and borrow some silver from your treasury to reward our three armies. They have worked so hard recently. At that time, no one can regret it!"
After hearing Chai Rong's words, Zhong Mo and Li Deming were trembling all over. Even though they were spitting out in a mess, they couldn't even jump out at this moment, so they could only stand up and say goodbye.
"How can you come here as soon as you say, leave?" Chai Rong let Li Deming leave and kept Zhong Mo.
Although Li Jing sent someone to seek peace, Chai Rong did not stop attacking Nan Tang at all. "Where did Zhao Hongyin and his party go? Did he go to Yangzhou ?"
Although he was thrown outside the city by his son for a night and caught a cold, Zhao Hongyin was tenacious and insisted on "not leaving the front line of light injuries", and still led his troops to fight.
When he was halfway through, because the high fever did not subside, Zhao Hongyin had to return to Chuzhou to recuperate. The remaining Han Lingkun and Bai Yanhui continued to lead their troops.
