Cai Jing's "wealth is hard to move" was mainly reflected in the Huizong Dynasty.
Cai Jing's life reached its peak during the Huizong Dynasty. Not only did he become prime minister, he retired from office five times, was reappointed four times, and was continuously promoted to higher positions.
What is the reason for this? The reason is that Emperor Huizong and Cai Jing had the same talents, so they envied each other, flattered each other, exploited each other, and deceived each other.
It is said that Emperor Huizong's father, Song Shenzong, had fourteen sons: the eldest son Zhao Yi, the second son Zhao Yu, the third son Zhao Jun, the fourth son Zhao Shen, the fifth son Zhao Xu, the sixth son Zhao Xu, the seventh son Zhao Price, the eighth son Zhao Ti, and the ninth son Zhao Yi, the tenth son Zhao Wei, the eleventh son Zhao Ji, the twelfth son Zhao Ma, the thirteenth son Zhao Si, and the fourteenth son Zhao Si.
Among the fourteen sons of Emperor Shenzong, the eldest son Zhao Yi, the second son Zhao Ji, the third son Zhao Jun, the fourth son Zhao Shen, the fifth son Zhao Xu, the seventh son Zhao Price, the eighth son Zhao Ti, and the tenth son Zhao Wei all died early. Only There are six sons, Zhao Xu, nine sons, Zhao Ji, eleven sons, Zhao Ji, twelfth sons, Zhao Ma, thirteen sons, Zhao Si, and fourteenth sons, Zhao Si.
After the death of Emperor Shenzong, his sixth son Zhao Xu succeeded him as Zhezong of Song Dynasty.
When Zhezong ascended the throne, he was only ten years old, and the Empress Dowager Xuanren listened to the government behind the curtain. It was not until the age of nineteen that the Empress Dowager Xuanren withdrew the curtain, and Emperor Zhezong could rule personally.
After Zhe Zong came into power, he first tried to abolish the Mencius, then to establish Liu, and then to give birth to a son. Unexpectedly, he only had one son, who died when he was only three months old.
If Emperor Zhezong lives a long life, he can continue to make troubles and create a group of children, so that he will have a son to inherit his throne.
Unfortunately, Emperor Zhezong's life was short-lived. After his only son died in infancy, he himself also fell seriously ill and died without leaving any heirs. He was only 25 years old.
Emperor Zhezong had no heirs, so he could only choose from his remaining younger brothers to succeed him. After some selection, it was finally determined that Zhao Ji, the eleventh son of Emperor Shenzong and the fifth younger brother of Emperor Zhezong, would succeed him.
At that time, Zhao Jishang was King Duan and was only nineteen years old.
If things go according to normal circumstances, the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty will not be able to turn to Duan Wang Zhao Ji anyway, because he has the ninth son Zhao Ji above him, and the thirteenth son Zhao Si, the younger brother of Emperor Zhezong, below him.
But because Zhao Ji is good-looking, extremely smart, versatile, and has a high emotional intelligence, he is extremely popular with the Queen Mother. Empress Dowager Na Xiang did not have any children after following Emperor Shenzong, so she treated Emperor Shenzong's sons as her own children without distinction.
On the day Emperor Zhezong died, he urgently summoned the auxiliary ministers of the court to the Queen Mother to discuss the matter of his successor.
Facing many ministers, Empress Dowager Xiang cried and said: "My dear family, the country is unfortunate. The Daxing Emperor has no heir. It is urgent to choose a worthy successor to comfort China and foreign countries."
The ministers did not know that the Queen Mother was interested in the prince, so they all kept silent.
The prime minister at that time, Zhang Dun, was impatient and quick-spoken. When he saw that other ministers were silent, he ignored him and said loudly: "The Queen Mother is here. I think that according to etiquette and law, I should make my mother and brother Jian Wangsi."
Zhao Simai was the thirteenth son of Emperor Shenzong and the younger brother of Emperor Zhezong.
The Empress Dowager Xiang heard this and said: "Your proposal is inappropriate. I am old and have no children, and all the kings are the sons of the divine sect. It is unfair to distinguish them like this."
After hearing this, Zhang Dun thought for a while and said again: "The Queen Mother is the queen. If you follow this, I think that if you want to be a leader, you should belong to King Shen."
Shen Wang Zhao Bai was the ninth son of Emperor Shenzong, and was the eldest among the surviving sons of Emperor Shenzong. However, Zhao Bai had an eye problem and was not liked by Empress Dowager Xiang.
In the end, Empress Dowager Xiang did not like Zhao Ji and wanted Zhao Ji to succeed her, so she said to Zhang Dun, "Your suggestion is inappropriate. King Shen has an eye disease that hinders his vision and makes it inconvenient for him to be the king. In view of his old age, it is better to stand alone." Duan Wang Ji."
Duan Wang Zhao Ji was a typical talented man. He was handsome and versatile. He knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially his "thin gold style" calligraphy, which was handsome and elegant and unparalleled in the world.
Duan Wang Zhao Ji likes to have fun, and can do everything such as horse riding, archery, football, and juggling.
Duan Wang Zhaoji also loved to play and collect rare treasures, flowers and stones. He wished that all the rare treasures in the world could be gathered in his palace; he wished that all the calligraphy, painting and antiques in the world could be placed in his study.
What's more, Duan Wang Zhao Ji loved women. He often left the palace, looked for flowers and willows, and wandered around the houses with wooden fences. He did not have the dignity of a prince at all.
Duan Wang Zhao Ji was not only a talented man, but also a playboy. He was frivolous, romantic and suave, and was known to everyone in the court.
When he heard the proposal to the Queen Mother that Duan Wang Zhao Ji should succeed him, Zhang Dun became anxious. For the sake of the country and the country of the Song Dynasty, he did not care much, so he stood up and protested loudly: "Queen Mother, I'm sorry to say it bluntly, King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world!"
He bluntly stated to the Queen Mother that Prince Duan Zhao Ji should succeed to the throne. The ministers present understood this situation and had no scruples.
When the Empress Dowager Xiang was contradicted by Zhang Dun, before she could say anything, Zeng Bu, who was standing next to her, became angry and shouted at Zhang Dun: "Zhang Dun is so bold and has no respect for his superiors. In front of the Empress Dowager, he dares to make such arrogant remarks about the kings! I declare this , Zhang Dun’s proposal only represents his personal opinion and has not been discussed with our ministers. The responsibility rests with him. In my opinion, the empress dowager’s edict is very wise, and I agree with it."
The other ministers present heard with their own ears that the Empress Dowager Xiang had made it clear that King Duan Zhao Ji would succeed him. Who would be like Zhang Dun who was ignorant of current affairs and caused trouble for himself, so they all said in unison: "I will follow the decree of the Empress Dowager. "
Looking around at the Empress Dowager, he saw that all the ministers except Zhang Dun supported his idea, so he said: "The late emperor often said that King Duan has a long life and is very benevolent and filial. If he is established as his heir, there will be no worries."
When all the ministers saw this, they all agreed casually: "The late emperor was wise! The empress dowager was wise!"
At that time, Zhang Dun was alone and had no one to respond. It was difficult to argue, so he had to remain silent.
A country cannot live without a king for a day. Now that the important matter has been agreed, it is time to announce the decree to the Queen Mother, that is, to summon Prince Duan Ji to the palace to inherit the throne.
The proclaimer immediately took the decree to the Queen Mother and rushed to Prince Duan's Mansion like a mad dog chasing a wolf.
At this time, in Prince Duan's Mansion, surrounded by a group of maids, companions, and Xiao Huangmen, Prince Duan Zhao Ji was playing juju with Gao Qiu, who had recently come from his consort, Captain Wang Qian!
What is "Ju"? Ju is a kind of toy in the Song Dynasty that can be played by kicking the head, shoulder, and crotch but cannot be grasped by hand. It is a ball wrapped in leather and filled with rice bran.
From this point of view, "Ju" in the Song Dynasty basically belongs to today's football.
At that time, people could not put air into the skin bag, but could only put things like rice bran, so it could only be called "Ju", not football.
If at that time, "Ju" was called "football", football should have been invented in China first, and there would be nothing to do with foreigners.
For the sake of narrative convenience, we will temporarily describe "Ju" as "balloon".
It is said that Gao Qiu, who played football with Duan Wang Zhao Ji, was originally a child from a floating family in Tokyo. He had not been doing his job since he was a child, so he had to use a spear and a stick, and he was a good balloon kicker.
As a man, Gao Qiu can be regarded as a miscellaneous person. He is good at playing, singing, dancing, stabbing, spearing, and juggling, sumo wrestling, and juggling. He also randomly learns some poems, books, and poems, and is slightly elegant. If he wants to talk about benevolence, justice, etiquette, and wisdom, he must be honest and honest. , but they don’t know how to do anything. They just help wealthy families in and outside Tokyo.
In the early days, Gao Qiu used to play tricks on the street because he could use sticks, and he often competed with others with sticks. Everyone in Tokyo knows that Golf is a scoundrel, so when they compete with him, they all pretend to give in to him so as not to cause trouble for themselves.
Gao Qiu competed with others and won one after another. He didn't know that others were letting him go, and he thought he was really good at the stick.
One day, Gao Qiu competed with others on the street again and beat several people one after another. He boasted that there was really no one in Tokyo who could beat me in the stick skill in the second year of high school.
At this time, a big man happened to be walking by. Hearing Gao Qiu's boast, he was very unhappy, so he stopped and glared at Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu was boasting proudly when he suddenly saw a man glaring at him and asked: "What do you do? You just go your own way. Why are you looking at me like this? Do you want to compete with me?" Two sticks?"
The man knew that the one who was boasting here was a well-known scoundrel high school sophomore in Tokyo, but he felt angry when he heard Gao Qiu bragging, and thought to himself, others are afraid of you, but why am I, a coach of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army, afraid of you? ! Since you want to compete with two sticks, I will compete with you with two sticks so that you can know how powerful I, Wang Sheng, am.
So, the man said: "Since this big brother wants to compete with me, I will compete with you."
When Gao Qiu heard this, he thought he was an ordinary person again, so he said: "Send me a name. I am a sophomore in high school and I never fight against unknown people."
The man said: "You won't change your name when you're walking, and you won't change your surname when you're sitting down. I am Wang Sheng!"
Gao Qiu was a street gangster. How could he know the leader of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army? So he laughed at Wang Sheng and said, "Haha, you are Wang Sheng? You are already a king. Where are you going to be promoted? If you are promoted again, you will become the emperor." , this is a crime of treason! I won’t say anything else to you first, come on, come on, I will fight you with two sticks.”
When people around saw a man wanting to compete with Gao Qiu, they all gathered around to watch the excitement. One of them handed a stick to Wang Sheng, pointed it at Gao Qiu, and said, "Man, beat him!"
Wang Sheng smiled and took over the baton.
Gao Qiu also hurriedly took a posture, raised his stick in his hand, and looked at Wang Sheng's head to hit him.
When Wang Sheng saw Gao Qiu coming with a stick, he didn't hide. He just poked the wooden stick in his hand at Gao Qiu's face. Gao Qiu was shocked when he saw the opponent's stick coming towards his face. He quickly put away the stick to block Wang Sheng's stick. Unexpectedly, Wang Sheng's stick was fake. When Gao Qiu put away the stick, he came to block it. When he blocked his own stick, he suddenly took it back, swung it round, and hit Gao Qiu's leg with the stick. There was only a "click" sound, and Gao Qiu's leg bones were suddenly broken. He was beaten until Gao Qiu rolled on the ground, screaming.
Gao Qiu took this blow and rested for more than half a year before he recovered.
From then on, Gao Qiu no longer wanted to compete with others, and began to instigate the children of wealthy families to use money. He spent his whole day living in luxury, messing with flowers and grass, looking for flowers and willows, and not doing his job properly. Eventually, he was punished by a large family with a piece of paper. The complaint was made to Kaifeng Mansion.
The governor of Kaifeng had also heard about Gao Qiu's bad reputation. He knew that Gao Qiu was not a good person, so he couldn't help but ask the government officials to knock Gao Qiu down, beat him with a forty-ridged cane, and then drove him out of Tokyo. , Gao Qiu is not allowed to eat in Tokyo.
