When Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, he remembered the process of claiming the title, and he was extremely afraid of the military commanders around him, fearing that they would one day launch a mutiny to seize power like themselves, so there was the story of "a glass of wine to relieve soldiers". In the form of a celebration banquet, Zhao Kuangyin invited the heroes to the banquet. During the dinner, he asked them to surrender their military power and gave them fertile land, wine and a lot of jewelry, so he firmly held the political power in his own hands.
Later military commanders felt very safe, but forgot that anyone who became an emperor was very wary of people around him, for fear that others would take away his power. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin had nothing to do after depriving the military commanders of their military power. Because many military commanders had no power, he collected money everywhere and accumulated huge wealth, which aroused Zhao Kuangyin's vigilance. After all, money makes the mare go, in case he is not satisfied one day. So Zhao Kuangyin directed another play. He once again invited the heroes to the palace to drink, and the emperor came to persuade them to drink, so they all got as drunk as a fiddler.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin came up with a clever plan, and the heroes had unspeakable sufferings afterwards. He called the sons of the heroes who attended the party to take them home. When he left, he said that these heroes had promised to contribute 654.38 million yuan to the country at the banquet. When the heroes woke up the next day, they didn't know that they had been cheated, but they didn't know if they really agreed, so they had to hand over the money. What a clever plan! Don't embarrass yourself and don't let the heroes lose money.
