Limited to space, just one example. In the strategic action of recovering sixteen states of Youyun, due to the early victory, some generals got carried away and slackened off. Coupled with the untimely supply of grain and grass, it gradually lost its strategic initiative in the face of strong enemies and was forced to retreat (later turned into a rout), which led to heavy casualties in Song Jun and the death of Yang Ye, a famous soldier, which not only made the plan to recover sixteen states a bubble, but also made the border defense system in the northeast of the Northern Song Dynasty in jeopardy. Song Taizong helpless, restless. At this time, Zuo Jian's doctor Zhang Qixian volunteered to guard the border. He defeated the Liao army with his ingenuity, captured the son of the king of northern Liaoning and won a strategic victory. Liao gradually retreated to its own border.
Xiang Min's Chinese characters are often used. Kaifeng Prefecture was a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty and the only son of Xiangyun, the magistrate of Lifu County in the later Han Dynasty. Xiang Xuan is serious and determined. He personally educated and urged Xiang Minzhong from an early age. He said to his wife, "It is this child who makes our family prosperous." Xiang Minzhong followed his father to Kaifeng, the capital. One day, a scholar passed by the door. When he met Xiang Minzhong, he said to his neighbor, "This child is distinguished and old." Neighbors told Xiang Minzhong's mother about it, and when she came out, the scholar had already left. Xiang Minzhong's parents died when he was twenty. He is self-reliant and doesn't care about poverty.
Taiping rejuvenating the country for five years (980), Xiang Minzhong was a scholar, and he served as a doctor and servant in the Ministry of Industry with outstanding achievements. In the fourth year of Song Zhenzong Xianping (100 1), he was promoted to Zhang Shi and Ji Xian Tang, Tongping, and officially visited the shrine. After taking office, Xiang Minzhong was quiet, refused to invite guests to congratulate him, and made no big noise. The door was silent, Song Zhenzong praised.
Chai was originally the wife of General Zuo Xue. Xue's father, Xue, is the prime minister of the DPRK. During his tenure, his greatest contribution was to edit the History of the Old Five Dynasties in the twenty-four histories.
According to the "History of Song Dynasty", "The wife is jealous, childless, and no servants and concubines are allowed to wait on her, only raising her and loving her very much." In modern language, Xue is henpecked. His wife is so powerful that she can't have children. Although there are many male and female concubines in the family, under the supervision of fierce wife Xue, they can't "plant trees and flowers". In order to continue the incense, Xue adopted him as his adopted son. Xue loves his adopted son very much.
Xue's original wife died early, Chai was his second wife, and he and his ex-wife left Xue two sons, Xue Anshang and Xue. Chai and Xue became stepmother after they got married. Xue, like his adoptive father Xue, is not good at managing the family and can't handle family relations well. Chai failed to have children for Xue. After Xue's accidental death, like some wealthy families in modern times, Chai, the stepmother in the front yard, and a pair of sons left by Xue became more and more contradictory because of property problems, and finally went to court.
The root of the growing contradiction began with Chai's intention to remarry this right servant with his own property (the right servant is equivalent to the prime minister). The son of the Xue family sued Chai Shi to Kaifeng in the name that Chai Shi wanted to embezzle the Xue family's things. Kaifeng did not dare to accept it without authorization, and reported it directly to Song Zhenzong. Song Zhenzong didn't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, so he sent someone to suggest interrogating Chai Shi quietly.
Chai is not a resigned person. She thinks it must be Xiang Min who wants to buy the Xue family's house privately. Chai Xiang Xiang Min revealed his suggestions to himself. After being rejected, he was resentful, which led the second son of Xue family to falsely accuse himself. Hearing this, the suggestion involved another incumbent prime minister, who was even more afraid to make decisions without authorization, and pushed the case to Song Zhenzong. Song Zhenzong personally asked Xiang Minzhong after hearing this. Xiang Minzhong said that his wife died not long ago, how can he care about remarriage? I didn't propose to Chai.
Song Zhenzong decided not to pursue it.
However, Chai doesn't want to sue for this. According to the "History of Song Dynasty", Chai "played drums again, and the lawsuit was urgent". Chai's lawsuit is that Xue's two sons are loafers. In order to make the descendants of the Xue family have a normal life guarantee, they once wrote a letter prohibiting them from selling their father's property. Xiang Minzhong, who was shot dead by the left servant, bought it against his will.
This made Song Zhenzong very unhappy, so Yushitai carefully studied the proposal.
Wang Sizong, a salt and iron envoy who has always been at odds with Xiang Minzhong, also took the opportunity to expose that Xiang Minzhong told the emperor that his wife was dead or not, and Xiang Minzhong was preparing to marry the late Xu's sister, a surnamed Wang. To this end, someone specially asked Wang, and when he learned that it was true, he criticized Xiang Minzhong face to face, saying that he was dishonest, clearly arranged a remarriage in private, and lied to the emperor that he didn't have this idea. Guess Song Zhenzong is coming, and Xiang Minzhong said that he didn't propose to Chai Shi, which is probably unreliable.
The case is making progress. In the investigation, the suggestion found that Chai's persistent appeal again and again was instigated by his son, then Prince Zhongzhe Zhang. Further interrogation of Chai's confidant servant also showed that Chai buried about 20,000 gold coins.
He was very angry, so he decided to demote him to Tai Changqing and his son Zhang to Haizhou. Xiang Minzhong is an assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance. He knows Yongxing Army.
Chai didn't marry. Also fined eight pounds of copper, which can be described as "losing the husband and folding the gold." The two brothers, the Xue family, sold their old house and falsely accused their mother, and were also punished accordingly.
The six parties in the whole case can be described as "six defeats."
