5.2.3 “Not suitable for Daqing”
Shi Jingtang loved his younger brother deeply. Due to the large age difference, Shi Jingtang regarded his younger brother as his son, so he named him "Shi Chongyin". When Shi Jingtang was a guard in Weizhou, Feng Meng, the deputy guard in Weizhou, had a daughter who was beautiful and beautiful, so Shi Jingtang helped Shi Chongyin marry Feng.
Not long after their wedding, Shi Chongyin, who had a poor life, unfortunately died of illness, and the beautiful lady Feng became a widow.
Shi Chonggui was fascinated by his aunt. Although she was his aunt in terms of seniority, they were almost the same age. After Shi Chonggui ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to have a relationship with Feng.
Shi Jingtang's body was not yet cold, and it was still lying in the mourning hall. The two of them were already behind, indescribable.
Feng Dao and others, led by civil and military officials, came specially to congratulate him. I guess you are sincerely disgusting him, or reminding him that your father has just died, and the coffin is being used for the funeral. Is that all you do?
Shi Chonggui understood the good intentions of the ministers, so he said: "I am getting married according to the Queen Mother's decree. Well...during the funeral, you should control your emotions and not be too happy (the Queen Mother ordered me to wait with you). Do not allow Daqing)."
My mother asked me to get married, so just listen to her.
After the ministers retired, Shi Chonggui continued to drink and have fun with Feng. After drinking heavily, he and Mrs. Feng walked out from the back of the hall. When passing by Shi Jingtang's coffin, Shi Chonggui suddenly stopped his lewd smile, picked up the wine glass, toasted to his father's coffin solemnly, and then said: "By the Queen Mother's decree, give me You have married a daughter-in-law, and during the funeral, please control your emotions and not be too happy (the Empress Dowager ordered that you not celebrate the funeral with the late emperor)."
The attendants on the left and right burst into laughter. Look at our Ming Jun Holy Lord, how humorous he is.
Shi Chonggui was also amused by his prank. "The left and right people laugh, and the emperor also laughs at himself." The emperor laughed, and the attendants on the left and right laughed more confidently and boldly.
The solemn mourning hall was filled with joyous songs and laughter. Perhaps only Shi Jingtang in the coffin could not laugh out loud.
After laughing, Shi Chonggui returned to the scene in high spirits. He turned around and said to the attendants: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. I think today is an auspicious day. Why don't I be the groom today? What do you think?"
The background music is "Today is a good day", the mourning hall serves as the wedding room, the filial son serves as the groom, the aunt serves as the bride, white affairs are handled as red affairs, and the master of ceremonies Shi Jingtang lies in the coffin.
Shi Chonggui took the lead in laughing "haha", Feng was laughing so hard, and the attendants on the left and right laughed wildly without any scruples.
Those who knew it were a filial son keeping vigil, but those who didn't know it thought they had entered the Deyun Society.
When the Empress Dowager Li (daughter of Li Keyong) heard about it, she was so angry that she was shaking all over, but there was nothing she could do.
In the feudal period, the emperor was not suitable for lustful behavior. There were many reasons, such as damaging the dragon's body, etc. However, the most fatal one was "descendants interfering in politics".
When a person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and the emperor dotes on a concubine, he will promote her family members, such as her brothers, nephews, etc. These people often rely on favors and become arrogant, domineering, levying excessive taxes on the people, and "doing a lot of illegal things."
To take a step back, if these uncles and uncles only stop at amassing money and violating laws and disciplines, the harm will be slightly less. The most terrible thing is that they interfere in national affairs, dictate and lead the country into an abyss of eternal destruction, and even directly lead to the destruction of the country.
Therefore, once the emperor indulges in female lust, the consequence is often that the harem interferes with politics and makes politics a mess.
Shi Chonggui could not escape this pattern. He doted on Feng. After Feng entered the palace, he began to interfere in state affairs. His brother Feng Yu also entered the central government and became Shi Chonggui's confidant.
The reason why Shi Chonggui's empire perished in less than five years was inseparable from Feng Yu.
6. Line struggle
This was the main factor that troubled the Later Jin Dynasty and ultimately led the Later Jin Dynasty into eternal doom. If Shi Chonggui wants to stabilize his political power and secure his position, he must implement "one emperor and one minister" through operations centered on personnel transfer, suppress dissidents, and promote direct relatives.
In order to stabilize his political power, Shi Chonggui made many efforts, such as emphasizing the legitimacy of his accession to the throne, and through a series of measures to prove that he had inherited Shi Jingtang's mantle. One of them was to avoid taboos for the late emperor.
Shi Chonggui announced that all the names of prefectures, counties, official names, government names, personal names, etc. in the world that have the same sound as the late emperor's taboo must be changed. For example, Mingtang Hall in Luoyang was changed to Xuande Hall, Zhongshu Zhengshi Hall was changed to Zhengshi Hall, and Gantangyi was changed to Tongjin. In Yi, there was an official named Tang Gu who also changed his surname to Tao. This Tao Gu remained an official until the Northern Song Dynasty, and once visited the Southern Tang Dynasty, leaving an eternal laughing stock, which will be mentioned later.
In addition to changing his name, when Shi Chonggui posthumously conferred the posthumous title to his biological father Shi Jingru, he deliberately used the term "Huang Bo" and called his biological father uncle. Deliberately blurring out the fact that he is not Shi Jingtang's biological son.
The big-eyed cuteness is no longer the same big-eyed cuteness. Your uncle will always be your biological father.
In addition, there are layers of control and monitoring of Shi Zhongrui.
In February of the eighth year of Tianfu (943), Shi Chongrui was appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng and was in charge of Bianzhou. Then he arranged an assistant for him on the grounds that he was still young.
This assistant was Shi Chonggui's "direct descendant of Weizhou" Bian Wei, and Bian Wei was the "prefect". In other words, Xiao Shi Chongrui was under house arrest in Bianzhou by Shi Chonggui. In name, he was the prefect of Kaifeng and the mayor of Bianzhou, but in fact he was the governor of Bianzhou. Bian Wei is solely responsible.
Shi Chonggui has successfully completed the first goal and completed the power integration in a short period of time, but changes followed one after another.
The reason why Shi Chonggui was able to quickly complete the power integration was largely due to the support of the Forbidden Army (Jing Yanguang). Jing Yanguang, a lonely and important minister, was ambitious. In order to gain power, he started a round of line struggle.
For Jing Yanguang, he gained Shi Chonggui's gratitude and was regarded as a confidant by Shi Chonggui.
There are two major obstacles standing in front of Jing Yanguang: at the local level, it is the "meritorious old generals" represented by Liu Zhiyuan and others; at the central level, it is the civil servant group headed by Sang Weihan.
After careful consideration, Jing Yanguang quickly found a clever trick that killed two birds with one stone: counter Liao!
Sang Weihan and other civil servant groups during Shi Jingtang's period followed the pro-Liao line, which was also the basic national policy during Shi Jingtang's period. If Shi Chonggui continues to follow this path, then Sang Weihan, the soul of the "pro-Liao faction", will undoubtedly have absolute has the right to speak and is still the leader of the central government.
Therefore, Jing Yanguang had to do the opposite and become the leader of the "anti-Liao faction", holding high the two banners of nationalism and patriotism. This road is what An Chongrong left after playing.
Once Shi Chonggui adopts his line, Sang Weihan will step aside, and Jing Yanguang, the chief architect of the anti-Liao Dynasty, will naturally have absolute say in the court.
If there is friction or confrontation between the two countries, Jing Yanguang will also use this to extend his influence to the military. Although he cannot get rid of the powerful "Big Three" such as Liu Zhiyuan, he can cultivate his own military power and weaken the influence of the "Big Three" .
