Song Taizu drinks a glass of wine to drown the sorrows of soldiers, and Shi Shouxin will be a general for generations. Do they have any clever tricks?

# Shi Shouxin # In 960 AD, the late Lord Zhou heard that the Khitan joined forces with the Northern Han Dynasty to attack the territory, and arranged to lead the army northward to defend the enemy. The parade launched a mutiny against Chen Qiaoyi, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu. People put on a yellow robe, made him emperor, and welcomed him to the capital to force the emperor to abdicate and change the country name to "Song".

Because his power came so smoothly, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that others would defect like him. One day, he invited all the senior generals to drink together, including Shi Shouxin. Zhao Kuangyin said, "Although I am the son of heaven, I am not as happy as you in our time. I can't sleep every day. "

Shi Shouxin and others said, "Now that the dust has fallen, who dares not obey? Why does your majesty say this? " Zhao Kuangyin said, "Who doesn't want wealth? Once you can add a yellow robe, you can get it even if you don't want it. " Then persuade these senior generals to accumulate more wealth and real estate, and don't hold the military power in their hands. "Life is short, it is better to accumulate more money, live in the city, leave the children behind, and finally sing and dance. There is no doubt between the monarch and the minister, and it is not good. "

The next day, these senior generals all said that they were ill and wrote to ask for the release of the army. Mao agreed, and then gave them a free post, which was well paid.

Shi Shouxin, the Kaifeng official, was originally under the account of the Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Because of his outstanding military exploits, he once served as the governor, governor and ambassador of Hongzhou in front of the temple in the latter Zhou Dynasty, and later Gong Di took the upper position and was added as the commander of the rebel army.

After Zhao Kuangyin acceded to the throne, Shi Shouxin was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the bodyguard "ma bu" or horse stance just look, and returned to Dejie. Later, he was promoted to be a bodyguard, pro-military "ma bu" or horse stance just look, because he killed the rebel Li Jun, the pseudo-Heyang jiedushi Fan Shoutu and the rebel Li Zhongjin.

After a glass of wine to relieve soldiers, Shi Shouxin did not retire, but rose step by step. In the sixth year of Kaibao, Shi Shouxin served as assistant minister, and at the beginning of Taiping and Xingguo, he served as secretary for two years. In addition to the secretary, he is also responsible for the safety of Xijing. In nine years, Shi Shouxin died, and he was made king of mighty county.

Shi Shouxin has two sons, one is Baoxing and the other is Baoji. These two men also have considerable military exploits.

Baoxing once attacked thousands of Xixia cavalry with less than two thousand soldiers, beheaded hundreds of people and pursued dozens of miles. In the second year of Daodao, Baoxing served as Yanzhou inspector and state affairs ambassador, and was appointed as the deputy secretary of Daodao, fighting with Fan Zhong against thieves and soldiers on the Fifth Road.

Part of Galo led troops to resist, and Baoxing selected hundreds of warriors to pursue and annihilate overnight, so Wu Yi and Yue Yi all surrendered.

In the second year of Xianping, Baoxing commanded Wei Lu Army and Xixia Army invaded. Baoxing distributed tens of thousands of dollars from the state treasury to the soldiers. Some people say it's against the rules. Baoxing said, "If the city is in danger, I will make peace with it, and I can't allow it. I am willing to pay with my family wealth. " It means that it is so critical now that I have no time to report it. If it is really not allowed afterwards, I will take my own money to compensate, which shows that the Baoxing family is rich.

Baoji participated in the famous Battle of the Alliance of Single Sources. In Jingdezhen in early winter, Song Zhenzong came to the monastery and ordered Baoji and Li Jilong to lead the army to array outside the north gate. Tens of thousands of Liao cavalry soon arrived at the gate, and Baoji took the lead in charging the Liao army before armored his horse. Li Jilong later praised him to Zhenzong and said, "I am not as good as Baoji in showing my strength and bowing to soldiers."

Baoxing's son is Sun Yuan, the grandson of Shi Shouxin. He first served as an official in the East and waited at the gate of the pavilion. Later, he made an inspection tour in Zhou Mo, and then he changed to Zhou Mo, Baozhou and Lianzhou, which also made great achievements in the local area. Later, Sun Yuan was promoted to bodyguard, pro-army, former capital of Hou Yu, deputy director of Yanting, special envoy for border peace and observer of Zhou Yong.

In the early years of Kangding, Xixia attacked Yanzhou, and Sun Yuan was defeated and captured at Sanchuankou. Everyone thought he was dead, and the emperor sent him a loyal ambassador and a teacher, and hired seven of his descendants. Unexpectedly, Sun Yuan was released later, and an admonition officer wrote that he would be beheaded if he was defeated and humiliated. Only Jia Changchao said that this should not be the case. So the emperor didn't kill him and put him in the whole state.

First of all, I have to talk about the relationship between Shi Shouxin and Zhao Kuangyin. Shi Shouxin is one of the core figures in "One Society and Ten Brothers". They have a very good relationship, so Shi Shouxin still retains the military post, but "in fact, the military power is absent". Perhaps out of psychological compensation, the Biography of Shi Shouxin in Song Dynasty records that after Shi Shouxin's death, his sons Bao Xing and Bao Ji were "reinstated" and re-appointed, and his grandson Sun Yuan's initial official position was also "trustworthy", that is, he was able to be an official because of Shi Shouxin's contribution.

Therefore, this is also the tacit understanding between Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin. They exchanged power for wealth and privileges and left them to future generations.
