In the second year of Jianlong's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin held a banquet to "release military power with a glass of wine". It was clearly for the monarch and his ministers to drink together, but in fact it concealed murderous intentions. The nine-curved mandarin duck pot in the red sandalwood box was densely packed with mechanisms, and the pot was divided into "life and death". The emperor personally held the pot and poured the wine, using clear water as a warning, supplemented by heart-wrenching words, and finally made the four commanders of the imperial army, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Wang Shenqi, and Zhang Lingduo, kneel down and hand over power. This tender banquet is actually a Shura field where power is transferred.
Although military power has been released, the undercurrent has not subsided. Shi Shouxin secretly hid elite private soldiers in Luoyang's villa, and his confidant Zhang Qiong swore allegiance to him: "The sky will fall and the earth will fall, and the point of the blade is where I will die!" When Shi Shouxin was hanging in the arch hall and offered the return talisman, the emperor's casual question of "Luoyang Manor" instantly defeated his defenses.
Wang Shenqi took a different approach. He recruited famous teachers, purchased ancient books, made a high-profile decision to abandon martial arts and follow literature, and even presented a carefully drawn up "deed", in the name of eternal dissolution of his descendants, hiding the privileges of the imperial examination. The emperor raised the imperial pen, and the word "Zhun" in Zhu's review was like cast iron, but it was hovering beside it like a drop of blood. Finally, a drop of thick ink was like a rotten blood plum blossom, swallowing up the bloody fingerprint pressed by Wang Shenqi - the imperial power and power were all reflected in the rise and fall of the ink drop.
At Zhouqiao Night Market, the wind and snow are as sharp as a knife. Gao Huaide and Wang Shenqi took refuge in the Jianshen Winery, where they met the generals Guo Jin and Shi Hanqing. While drunk and venting his anger, Gao Huaide screamed out the fatal secret on the Hedong front line: the guards at Baigu of the Northern Han Dynasty Barrier Regiment "had no winter clothes"!
