The founding boss Zhao Kuangyin's military strength is unprecedented. Before he became an emperor, he often took the lead and chopped people on horseback, which was the strongest one-on-one among the emperors of all ages. When you become an emperor, it is obviously unrealistic to go into battle and chop people up. What should I do if my finger itches I have to find a husband to play with every day. This play also made him play with flowers an art. No wonder later generations called Zhao Kuangyin "the ancestor of art".
This became the royal tooth extraction tool in Mao's hand. Once Taizu played slingshot in the back garden and had a good time. A short-sighted minister hurried to report that there was something urgent that the boss had to decide for himself. Zhao Kuangyin dare not neglect, immediately put down the slingshot to listen to the minister's report.
Who knows, the more you listen, the uglier you look, not because reporting is too important to handle, but because it is simply an ordinary family matter, not a matter. Looking at the face of the minister opposite, Mao couldn't help it any longer. "Is this what you call a military incident?"
"Why? Isn't this a big deal? Worse than your majesty shooting birds. " The minister did not show weakness, and immediately retaliated, more imposing than Mao. That really pissed Zhao Kuangyin off. If you don't admit your mistake and wrangle, your ya will die. After scolding, I still felt Japanese, so I put a handful in my hand that was less than my husband's for daily play, and then pointed it at the opposite mouth that I didn't like, and flew out.
You really deserve to be an emperor who was born as a military commander. The strength, angle and suddenness were impeccable, hitting the target and cleanly knocking out the minister's two front teeth.
Before Zhao Kuangyin cheered up, the minister stared at him with a sad face, picked up two front teeth, covered his bloody face, and turned to leave. Don't believe it or what? Zhao Kuangyin shouted, "What are you staring at? Stop and pick up your front teeth. What do you want? Keep the evidence and want to sue me? "
Who knows that the minister was in no hurry, turned around and bowed and said, "I naturally dare not sue your majesty, but my own historian will record it." Zhao Kuangyin was completely convinced, this boy is a talent. He carefully looked at the minister's injury and felt that he had gone too far, so he gave the minister a lot of money and silk as compensation and did not pursue the offense behind him.
Don't think that this matter is made up, because it is recorded in Sima Guang's personal letter "The Story of Surabaya". I knew from an early age that the sincere baby who smashed the jar to save people would not discredit his founding emperor. What's more, Zhao Kuangyin's "evil deeds" of pulling teeth for others have happened many times, and there are many records in various historical books.
The most famous one happened in the first year of Kaibao (AD 968). One day, the president of the Supreme Court of Dasong (Dali Temple Qing) angrily came to Zhao Kuangyin to sue the imperial edict. The reason why I came to Mao was because the defendant was too big. His name was Zhao Pu, the prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people.
Bala Bala after a chase, is understood, the original red incense's officials in order to please Zhao Pu, in some cases of sentencing, completely ignored the nominal head. I can't stand it. The greatest feature of scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty was to love face. If you don't give me face, don't blame me for refuting yours.
Throwing caution to the wind, Dean Lei found it directly and didn't want any manners. With tears in his eyes, he denounced Zhao Pu and demanded that Mao make an example of him, hell to pay.
Zhao Kuangyin nodded frequently. It seems that what Zhao Pu has done is a bit excessive, so he consoled him by saying, "Ai Qing, stand up and wait for me to give him a good scolding. I take this tone for you everywhere. "
Who knows this Reid doesn't know what's going on, and he can't give up the steps. He also listed all kinds of evidence that Zhao Puqiang bought other people's real estate and took bribes to collect money. This posture is to larger foe, vowed to dismount the prime minister.
Hong Xiang has a high status, but she doesn't want to think about who Zhao Pu is. Mao was fighting outside, and when his father was ill, Zhao Pu took care of him one by one. What's more, the Song Dynasty was just founded, and the four sides were undecided. Zhao Pu and other competent ministers are needed to help handle everything. How could Zhao Kuangyin break his arm for a red elephant?
Sure enough, looking at the endless red embarrassment, Mao got impatient and scolded, "chēng, these cooking guys have ears. Where are your ears? " Don't you know that Zhao Pu is a state minister and my right-hand man? "The implication is obvious, boy. Don't be rude You want to treat me like a brother, and you are almost serious.
Of course, maybe it's to scare others. Zhao Kuangyin didn't relent this time. After scolding, he threw an axe and hit his opponent's front teeth accurately again. I don't know what Reed Xiang, who has no front teeth, said. In any case, Zhao Kuangyin not only didn't let himself down, but became more angry and even ordered him to be dragged out and hacked to death.
However, our dentist Zhao soon regretted it. After all, he is a first-class minister. It is too hasty to treat him like this, not to mention that he was wrong first. So I put it away, and finally I just handled Reid's dismissal.
After this incident, the reputation of Zhao Kuangyin Axe Wang Gang spread. Since then, few people have come to the stroke for free tooth extraction. Without the opportunity to play with the flying axe, Zhao Kuangyin invented another use of the flying axe, knocking people.
The unlucky man who can let Zhao Kuangyin be hacked to death with an axe is not an ordinary person. He was Zhang Qixian, the famous "Prime Minister of Eating Goods" in the early Northern Song Dynasty.
That was before Zhang Qixian became an official. Zhao Kuangyin visited his hometown Luoyang, and ordinary people Zhang Qixian thought it was a good opportunity. He took the opportunity to run to Ma and claimed that he had ten strategies to govern the country so that he could govern the country safely. Looking at the fearless lad, Zhao Kuangyin noncommittally, just let the guards take him to the palace.
Traditionally, Zhao Kuangyin asked the guards to send some food, ready to eat and chat, and see what amazing words Zhang Qixian could say. But who would have thought that when Zhang Qixian saw the food on the table, it was like seeing his mother. Anyway, he wolfed down his food without even using chopsticks. He grabbed the food from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.
Looking at this gluttonous gourmet, Zhao Kuangyin was furious. What's more, this boy is a freeloader and lied to the emperor. In a rage, Yufu took his hand, knocked Zhang Qixian on the head and said, Boy, don't just eat. Where are your top ten strategies? Let's talk about it first
Zhang Qixian is even more sacred. Hearing the emperor's inquiry, he was unhurried and fearless, and said while eating. After eating the last bite of rice, I came clean about my top ten strategies for governing the country. After listening patiently, Mao couldn't help but sigh: dear, this boy is powerful, well-founded, and his future is limitless. It's just that this temper is a bit wild, and it needs more training, otherwise I'm afraid I can't stop it.
Considering this, Zhao Kuangyin did not immediately dismiss Zhang Qixian, but gave him some money and told him to study hard. Back in Tokyo, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't wait to tell his younger brother Zhao Guangyi that he had found a talented prime minister in Luoyang. Later, Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, so he took Zhang Qixian seriously.
Those who have been hit on the head by Mao's axe seem to have learned the eight strange meridians. He was brave and good at fighting. He could not only write but also fight. He led troops to win the Liao army, which was rare in the Tang Taizong dynasty, and finally became prime minister.
Under the leadership of Emperor Mao, there was an axe wind in the Song Dynasty. Axes, which were not commonly used before Zhao and Song Dynasties, began to appear frequently on the battlefield, becoming the most effective killer weapon for Song Dynasty infantry who lacked war horses to deal with grassland national cavalry.
Jin Wushu, who fought all his life in the Song Dynasty, once said:
It is not difficult to see that the Jin people were afraid of the heavy axe soldiers in the Song Dynasty. The reason why I say this is because Jin Wushu suffered a big loss under the axe. In the tenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin attacked Shaanxi and Huainan. At that time, there was a heavily armored cavalry in the state of Jin, called Tiefu, who was dressed in war horses and heavily armored. Invincible when charging, the defense is too high, and it is useless to cut with a knife and a gun. This is a nightmare for soldiers in the Song Dynasty.
However, this time, the rich in iron and rich in soil suffered a big loss, losing nearly 7,000 yuan, and it was a fiasco. Because the Song Dynasty adopted new tactics. The soldiers were carrying a newly developed axe, weighing 20 Jin and being 1.7 long. When they saw the iron tower, they saluted their heads. Such a weight, if you fall from a height, can kill yourself even if you can't cut it.
I once saw the helmet of a soldier in the state of Jin excavated by archaeology. From this, we can see the obvious marks of axe cutting. This helmet perfectly reproduces the glory of the Song Dynasty axe to help the axe break the enemy. If this scene is seen, the first generation of kings will probably wake up and laugh.
But these are another story, and the weapons are fierce and ominous. Zhao Kuangyin, who had an axe in his hand all day, finally died suddenly because of an eternal mystery "the sound of a candle shadow axe", leaving only the legend about the axe to our descendants.
