Shi Jingtang's ancestral home was Jiangmen, and his father Shi Shaoyong followed Li Keyong and Li. He made outstanding achievements and died in battle, making him famous all over the world. Shi Jingtang is cautious and studious, especially loves reading The Art of War, and worships Li Mu and Zhou Yafu.
Shi Jingtang inherited his father's footsteps and continued to compete with Li for the Central Plains. Shi Jingtang is clever and brave, and he is more and more valued by Li. Li put Shi Jingtang under the account of his righteous brother and beloved Li Siyuan. Shi Jingtang and Li Siyuan made outstanding contributions and made great achievements. Li Siyuan saw that this man had a bright future. In order to further woo Shi Jingtang, he simply married his daughter yongning princess to Shi Jingtang.
In 926 AD, Li Siyuan led a counter-insurgency campaign, and Shi Jingtang led an army to war, but Li Siyuan's troops mainly pushed Li Siyuan to the rebels. Li Siyuan in the face of this sudden "yellow robe", at a loss. Li Siyuan wanted to go back to the imperial court and Li, and Shi Jingtang also wanted to go back in this case. Isn't going back to kill yourself? Shi Jingtang immediately went to dissuade Li Siyuan: "What's the reason? After the army mutiny, its commander is fine?" Li Siyuan is not a rash fellow, and immediately wakes up. Li Siyuan agreed with the support of these people and became emperor himself.
At that time, Li had become a real lone ranger and was soon killed by his own actor. Li Siyuan succeeded in replacing Li as the second emperor of the later Tang Dynasty. Shi Jingtang was acclaimed and promoted to the title. Later, he was promoted to the rich Hedong area and became one of the most powerful figures in the later Tang Dynasty.
Shi Jingtang is not only an excellent general, but also famous for his achievements in local governance. Great achievements have been made in Shaanxi, Weibo and Hedong. When he was in Shaanxi, he managed the local area in an orderly way in less than a year, which was very popular among officials. When he was in Weibo, many people thought that local customs were tough and there were many lawsuits, so it was difficult to govern. However, after he arrived, he worked hard and handled difficult cases, and soon the number of cases was greatly reduced. When he was appointed as our time in Hedong, Shi Jingtang was extremely thrifty, and never put on a banquet to listen to music and have fun. After the business was done, he called the aides to discuss the sufferings of the people and the gains and losses of politics, so Hedong rectified.
A few years later, Li Siyuan died, and Li Conghou succeeded him as Emperor Min. Ming Di is a weak scholar, most afraid of the general seizing power. At that time, there were two powerful schools in the late Tang Dynasty, one was Li Congke in Fengxiang and the other was Shi Jingtang in Hedong. There are two tigers around, and Emperor Min always feels that there is a thorn in his back. Ming Di used the plan of "killing two birds with one stone" to test them by ordering them to change their defense zones. I didn't expect this test to really find out a big problem. Li Congke had long wanted to rebel, so he immediately jumped out and openly competed with Mindi. The troops sent by Ming Chengzu to counter the rebellion were simply vulnerable. Li Congke passed all the way and quickly occupied the capital. Shi Jingtang hesitated for a moment. Mindy and his gang were busy going out after the fall of the capital. They never thought of meeting Shi Jingtang. As a lamb, Shi Jingtang hijacked Mindy and liked Li Congke.
Li Congke himself won the throne because he was armed to the teeth, so he was very concerned about the powerful faction, so Shi Jingtang became a menace to Li Congke.
Shi Jingtang is well aware of his present situation. In order to get rid of the predicament, he came up with two ways. One is to pretend to be sick. Shi Jingtang's acting skills are very high, pretending to be a sick seedling, thus temporarily fooling Li Congke; The other is to reserve strategic resources. In the name of the Khitan invasion of the border, Shi Jingtang asked Li Congke for a large amount of reserves several times, saying that it was hoarding to prevent the Japanese invasion, but it was actually for the future. Li Congke was kept in the dark by him and cheated again.
Although Li Congke was fooled for a while, he still didn't treat Shi Jingtang lightly and kept an eye on Shi Jingtang's movements. Shi Jingtang is also thinking about how to deal with Li Congke. In order to test how wary Li Congke was of himself, Shi Jingtang took the next step and asked Shi Jingtang to let him go to other places to buy time for us. If Li Congke agrees, it proves that he doubts himself. If he is appeased to stay, it means that Li Congke has no intention of harm.
Li Congke climbed up the pole and sent Shi Jingtang to tell the time elsewhere.
Shi Jingtang was anxious when he saw that Li Congke really wanted to get rid of himself. Shi Jingtang formally rose up, and Li Congke sent several armies to besiege Shi Jingtang. Although Shi Jingtang is very strong, he can't compete with Li Congke. What should we do?
To fight against Li Congke, we can only rely on external forces, and the most powerful external force at that time was Qidan. In fact, Shi Jingtang had a plan to deal with Li Congke as early as before, and one of the contents of the plan was how to use the power of the Khitan. Shi Jingtang turned to Yelvdeguang of Qidan for help, and Yelvdeguang was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it was only natural that he should make a request. Shi Jingtang, who longed to be emperor, didn't bargain too much with Yeludeguang. The two sides quickly reached an agreement: Qidan sent troops to help Shi Jingtang claim the title of emperor, and Shi Jingtang ceded sixteen northern states to Qidan, paying a large amount of property every year, calling itself the country of children. Many of Shi Jingtang's men thought this condition was too shameful, but Shi Jingtang wanted to be emperor, and he was crazy.
Yelvdeguang, who was eyeing up the Central Plains, was overjoyed. He immediately led the troops to help Shi Jingtang and finally defeated the army in the later Tang Dynasty. With the help of the Khitans, Shi Jingtang finally became emperor and was named Daikin, and Shi Jingtang was the great ancestor of the latter.
Shi Jingtang was given the throne by others, so it is only natural that he should show extra respect to others. Compared with Yelvdeguang, who is ten years younger than himself, Shi Jingtang respectfully calls his father the emperor, and even gives 300,000 silks every year, and then cedes sixteen states. Through this transaction, the Khitans can be said to have taken advantage. From then on, the Khitans could go straight into the Yellow River, and there was no natural barrier of resistance in the Central Plains, which also laid the groundwork for the humiliation of the later Song Dynasty.
The son emperor is indeed more painful than the average emperor. Whenever the Khitan emissary arrived at the end of the Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingtang smiled and stuck someone else's cold ass. When the other side scolded him, he bowed his head to meet the flying spit. Shi Jingtang pretends nothing on the surface, but sometimes he feels timid when he thinks about it.
Before Shi Jingtang proclaimed himself emperor, he managed local government affairs frugally, but after he proclaimed himself emperor, he began to be extravagant. His palace was richly decorated with gold, jewels and ornaments. The original capital was Luoyang, but later he moved the capital to Kaifeng because it was very shabby. In order to suppress the people's resistance, he ordered the enactment of many cruel laws, and most of the punishments were in some horrible ways: cutting tongue, dismembering, filling nose and cooking.
Shi Jingtang became a king of the children with the support of the Khitan, and many of his subordinates despised his despicable behavior. In addition, after Shi Jingtang proclaimed himself emperor, due to improper employment and administrative measures, the people began to deviate from the people's hearts, which provided an excuse and favorable opportunity for his subordinates to create a crisis. As a result, it was not long before Shi Jingtang became emperor, and rebellion and crusade began in all directions.
Guo Chongwei, our emissary from Yingzhou, angrily turned to the south, ignored the emperor's order to defend Wu Luan, commander in chief of Datong, and refused to communicate with Qidan. Liu Zhiyuan, a trustworthy official, first fought for self-esteem and dominated Jinyang, then fought against the Khitan and declared war on it. People will listen to the life of the court if it is beneficial, but if it is not deaf.
Our time, Fan guarding Weizhou, always felt that Shi Jingtang had doubts about himself, so he took the lead in rebelling in Weizhou and proclaimed himself emperor. Shi Jingtang sent Yang Guang to suppress the rebellion. As a result, Yang Guangyuan did not attack Fan, but rebelled with him, and Shi Jingtang's two sons were killed in the rebellion.
After that, the governor of the town, An Zhongrong, rebelled in the north. An Chongrong is a man of backbone. He was very dissatisfied with Shi Jingtang's respect for the Khitan, and often scolded the passing Khitan messengers. An Chongrong's rebellion plan is not good. His ministry will surrender to Shi Jingtang, and he was killed.
Two great rebellions weakened the late Jin Dynasty, and Shi Jingtang, the son emperor, was fed up with the anger of the Khitans. He didn't expect to take it out on his own, and Shi Jingtang, who had been depressed, soon became angry. In the second year of An Chongrong's rebellion, Shi Jingtang died at the age of 5 1.
Shi Jingtang left a mess and a bad reputation for future generations. Less than four years after his nephew Shi Zhonggui succeeded to the throne, the late Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the rebellious generals and the Khitan.
Degeneration often begins with giving up dignity.
A young man fell in love with flattery in order to soar rapidly; A businessman is keen on business relations in order to take shortcuts. Dignity is put down, and the knowledge and skills learned are also left behind, and nothing can be done. Going further and further, the broken jar broke and fell, which is how it came.
If others have ropes, fate can't be controlled.
Running relationships, going through the back door and climbing high branches are enjoyed by countless people, and it is undeniable that many people are mixed up like this. When dependence becomes a habit, when one's own destiny is just a plaything in the hands of others, such a life is cheap and easy to be scattered by others. That's how falling from a height usually happens.
Don't let people look down on you. Most people in China have this kind of psychology: on the one hand, they hope that they can have various relationships to help themselves; On the other hand, they look down on those who get rich through relationships. Many people will talk about others behind their backs and forget that they are also related households. People don't go easy on people who look down on them. They criticize when they criticize, and they make things difficult for them. I am strong and safe, but I will forget it. However, if the strength is poor and only the backer is left, such people will end up miserable, and people will struggle to step on one foot without pity. People still have some dignity, even enemies will respect real men.
