During the negotiation stage, Yelu Deguang repeatedly asked to see Sang Weihan by name. After learning that Sang Weihan had "committed suicide", Yelu Deguang was very shocked. At that time, he told people around him that I had no intention of killing him. Why would he? this? Then he ordered a thorough investigation into Sang Weihan's death to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.
Therefore, I am more willing to believe that the murder of Sang Weihan was committed by Zhang Yanze alone, and then under pressure from the Khitan, he fabricated lies and blamed Shi Chonggui.
One of Zhang Yanze's enemies survived. This person was Li Tao, a member of Zhongshushe. He once urged Shi Jingtang to kill Zhang Yanze during the "Zhang Yanze Major Case". He did not hesitate to contradict Shi Jingtang in person, choking Shi Jingtang to the point where he was unable to express his words and uttered obscenities.
A gentleman is magnanimous and magnanimous. Not only did Li Tao not escape, but he threw himself into the trap and took the initiative to come to Zhang Yanze and said that I had sent forces to kill you, and now I came here to ask for your death.
Zhang Yanze was both shocked and excited. He warmly entertained Li Tao, smiled at each other, and asked Li Tao with a smile, "You finally know how to be afraid today, right?"
Li Tao was neither humble nor arrogant, and he responded calmly and boldly: "Just like you did back then. If the late emperor had listened to my advice, how could he be in the situation he is in today."
Zhang Yanze did not feel offended at all, but respected Li Tao's integrity even more, so he ordered someone to pour him wine.
Li Tao was not polite, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, then left without showing any fear or losing his dignity.
Li Tao is Zhang Yanze's enemy, while Sang Weihan is Zhang Yanze's benefactor. Zhang Yanze spared Li Tao but killed Sang Weihan. Naturally, only he himself knows the reasons best.
There is a saying that Li Tao is upright and honest, his family does not have much property, and he does not have the most beautiful women in the country, so he is not worthy of being poisoned. But Sang Weihan was different. Some historical data said that Sang Weihan was also greedy for money, so Zhang Yanze was greedy for his family property.
According to the "New Records of Three Chu", when Li Cunxu had just overthrown the Later Liang Dynasty, Hunan Mayin sent his son Ma Xifan to the capital to pay homage. When passing by the Huaihe River, he met Sang Weihan who was living in Chuzhou and Sizhou. Sang Weihan complimented Ma Xifan. He also proposed to borrow some money to spend money.
Sang Weihan is extremely ugly, incredibly ugly, short in stature but long in face, very cute. Seeing his ugly appearance and abrupt words, Ma Xifan almost laughed, but he finally held it back, then politely invited him to a meal and rewarded him with some money after the meal. But the amount given was far from what Sang Weihan asked for. Sang Weihan was furious and said, are you sending away beggars? Then he walked out.
Later, Ma Xifan became the top leader of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and Sang Weihan also became the prime minister of the Central Plains Dynasty. Sang Weihan then asked Shi Jingtang to reduce Ma Xifan's honor guard in retaliation for his humiliation.
In fact, it is very likely that later generations deliberately discredited Sang Weihan. Open the map and go to Henan from Changsha (Tanzhou) in Hunan today. Why do you have to detour through Jiangsu?
The "Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms" written during the Qing Dynasty retained this record in the "New Records of Three Chu" written during the Northern Song Dynasty. However, the historians of the Qing Dynasty had already expressed serious doubts about this matter and specifically marked "It seems impossible" under this record. Letter, recorded for examination."
Because Sanvihan is a controversial figure, historical evaluations of him are extremely polarized. Those who praised him said that he had the talents of a king and a capable official in governing the country. Even Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin highly praised Sang Weihan's talent in governing the country; those who scolded him said that he was a sinner through the ages, a traitor and a scum of the nation...
Among these two diametrically opposed views, those who criticize him are the majority, and this is still the case today. Because Sang Weihan is the soul of the "pro-Liao faction" and the initiator of the cession of the Sixteen States of Youyun.
Therefore, the people who criticized the most fiercely were the Southern Song Dynasty.
Why do we settle in a corner and lose all the northern land? Because the enemy is too powerful.
Why are the enemies so powerful? Because they occupy the sixteen states of Youyun.
Why do they occupy the Sixteenth State of Youyun? Because of Shi Jingtang's cession.
Why did Shi Jingtang cede? Because of Sanvihan’s proposition.
History is written by the victors. The one who replaced the Later Jin Dynasty was the Later Han Dynasty, and the founding emperor was none other than Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan was also a participant in the cession of the Sixteen Youyun Provinces, so after Liu Zhiyuan became emperor, he would systematically whitewash the "Hedong War".
Liu Zhiyuan cannot deny Shi Jingtang, because he is a direct descendant of Shi Jingtang, and Shi Jingtang is the foundation of his rule. To deny Shi Jingtang is to deny himself. Therefore, Shi Jingtang must not have been the mastermind behind the cession of Youyun Sixteen Provinces. He could only have been forced to accept the suggestions of his subordinates and staff.
Therefore, there is such a description in the history books. It is said that although Liu Zhiyuan advocated colluding with the Khitan for aid at that time, he strongly opposed the cession of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures. He suggested only giving some money to the Khitan and hiring Khitan people as thugs, while Sang Weihan tried his best to Advocating the cession of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures...
In this way, the images of Shi Jingtang and Liu Zhiyuan were brilliant, while Sang Weihan alone took on the reputation of being a traitor and traitor.
This book tells objective facts and does not deliberately seek to be novel or sensational. Although I have introduced Sang Weihan's ability to govern the country, I still want to say that Sang Weihan is a traitor. No matter what the original motive is, anyone who betrays the interests of the motherland is a traitor and will bear the infamy of a traitor for thousands of years and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever.
Zhang Yanze’s crimes continue. In addition to robbing money and killing people, Zhang Yanze also had ideas about concubines in the harem.
Shi Chonggui's beloved concubine, Mrs. Ding of Chu, and the biological mother of the prince Shi Yanxu, was young and beautiful. Zhang Yanze took her in and took her back to his home to take care of her. After the Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, Zhang Yanze cursed and took her away by force.
The most ironic thing is that when Zhang Yanze committed these atrocities, he would always lead hundreds of cavalry to support him with great momentum, and the flags they held were all inscribed with the four characters "Sincerely the Lord". The common people were so angry at these four words that they laughed.
Everyone was afraid of Zhang Yanze's cruelty, but Feng Yu was like a fly in the air. He flattered Zhang Yanze with slanted shoulders and asked to be allowed to be the courier boy who transported the imperial seal so that he could talk to Yelu Deguang and stay. Make a good impression.
Feng Yu sent the imperial seal and other tokens to Yelu Deguang. Yelu Deguang and his colleagues carefully inspected it and found that both the workmanship and the seals on it were different from those recorded in the history books. He couldn't help being furious, "This grandson How dare you lie to me with counterfeit goods!”
I won't be angry if I get a high imitation. Look, even the printed text is different. It's an insult to my intelligence!
Shi Chonggui hurriedly went to the store to explain, to be honest with you, this is indeed a high imitation, but it is a genuine product that is guaranteed to be fake. Because when Li Congke burned himself, the jade seal that had been handed down from the country disappeared. This one was made by the late Emperor Shi Jingtang. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew about it. If you don’t believe me, just ask. Besides, it’s happened now. , Grandson, how dare I deceive you, grandpa!
Yelu Deguang refused to pursue the case.
