The disaster of the Song Dynasty was purely caused by Song Mingong's bad mouth.
Song Mingong grew up in the court and developed a naughty character like a young master. Since he lived for a long time surrounded by sycophants, he was very self-righteous. In his mind, as long as he was happy,
Whether other people are happy or uncomfortable, it doesn't matter.
This kind of personality is easy to offend people. What's more troublesome is that he is quite talkative and especially likes to make fun of others. He is inherently aloof, so he is often unscrupulous when making jokes.
Finally one day, he made a big joke.
The thing is like this: Duke Min of Song Dynasty accepted the invitation of Duke Huan of Qi and sent Nangong Changwan to lead troops to go with Qi to attack Lu. As a result, the Qi and Song coalition forces were ambushed by Lu people and were defeated. Nangong Changwan did
He was captured by the Lu people. The Lu people imprisoned him for a month. Later, when the two sides exchanged prisoners of war, Nangong Changwan was released by the Lu people.
After Nangong Changwan returned to China, he still served as a general in the army. Song Mingong always liked to tease him about Nangong Changwan being captured. Nangong Changwan was very annoyed. But after all, he had been a prisoner, so he had to
Ninja.
Qiu Mu, the official of the Song Dynasty, advised Song Mingong to be more measured and not make fun of General Nangong all the time. But Song Mingong didn't take it seriously at all. In fact, he couldn't control his mouth.
One day, Song Mingong and Nangong Changwan were drinking together. When they were happy, Song Mingong's old habit relapsed. He asked: "General Nangong, when you were captured, were you captured by the generals of Lu?
, or was he caught by the soldiers?"
Nangong Changwan said awkwardly: "I was caught by a group of soldiers."
Song Mingong wanted to see Nangong Chang Wan's miserable state. He added, "I heard people say that you are good at using a halberd and have the courage that ten thousand people cannot do. How could you be caught by a group of soldiers?"
Nangong Changwan said: "I had already fought until I was exhausted. Besides, there were many of them."
Song Mingong smiled and said: "I think the legend may not be true."
As a military general, Nangong Changwan hated to hear anyone say that he was not good at martial arts. He argued: "Things on the battlefield are unpredictable. Even if my iron halberd is powerful, it can't withstand the attacks of a group of small soldiers."
Song Mingong said disdainfully: "You are said to be powerful. Compare it with me and let me see if it is true or not?"
Nangong Changwan secretly laughed in his heart: How can this be compared? With your little ability, two or three people may not be my opponents, so he shook his head and refused to compare. When Song Mingong saw Nangong Changwan's blind refusal, he mistakenly thought
Nangong Changwan was timid and did not dare to compete. Instead, he became more energetic and insisted on competing with Nangong Changwan. Nangong Changwan had no choice but to agree.
Song Mingong believed that he was young and strong, and had some martial arts skills, and when he usually competed with his subordinates, he always won, so he didn't take Nangong Changwan seriously. Who knows, after a few rounds of fighting, his halberd
He was knocked down by Nangong Changwan. Nangong Changwan quickly threw away the halberd in his hand, picked up the halberd dropped by Song Mingong on the ground, cupped his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord, for accepting the concession." After saying that, he handed the iron halberd to his left and right.
Guard.
Song Mingong was embarrassed in public and felt his face heat up. He wanted to save face, but a martial arts competition would definitely not work. So he asked the left and right to put up a chessboard and wanted to play chess with Nangong Zhang Wanbi. He also said that whoever loses a game will be fined.
One cup. Nangong Changwan didn’t dare to refuse this time.
When it came to playing chess, Nangong Changwan was no match at all. He lost several games in a row and drank several large drinks. In the last game, Nangong Changwan lost again. Song Mingong said proudly: "The defeated general, An Neng and I
Contest?"
When the people waiting on the left and right heard this, they all laughed wildly. Nangong Changwan had nothing to say. He rolled his eyes at the people next to him, suppressed his anger, poured a glass of wine himself, and drank it all.
At this time, someone came outside to report that the envoys of Emperor Zhou had arrived. Duke Min of Song pushed the chessboard away and shouted: "Invite you."
After the emperor's envoy came in, Nangong Changwan had no time to evade, so he knelt on the ground with Song Mingong and accepted the order. It turned out that the envoy was here to deliver an obituary - King Zhouzhuang passed away, and the royal family announced to the world that
The princes were asked to go to Luoyi to attend the emperor's funeral.
After seeing off the emperor's envoys, Nangong Changwan said to Song Mingong: "If your lord wants to send someone to Luoyi to express condolences, then send me. I have never been to Luoyi, and I have never seen the emperor. Please send it to me, lord."
This opportunity also opened my eyes.”
When Song Mingong heard this, he started to be mean-mouthed again. He said disdainfully: "There is no one left in the Song Dynasty? Do you have to use a prisoner as an envoy?"
The people waiting on the left and right laughed wildly again. Nangong Changwan’s old face suddenly turned blue and purple, and he couldn’t stand it anymore. In addition, he drank a few more glasses of wine, and couldn’t suppress his anger, so he blurted out: “You are so stupid.
You dare to despise me, do you know that prisoners can also kill people?"
Song Mingong also became angry and angrily shouted: "How dare you, I think you dare to move." After saying that, he turned around, grabbed an iron halberd from the guard, and stabbed Nangong Changwan.
Nangong Changwan was a battle-hardened general. When he saw the iron halberd being stabbed, he subconsciously dodged the halberd, picked up the chessboard, and smashed Song Mingong's head. Nangong Changwan's arm was very strong, and he
In the anger, Song Mingong's head immediately exploded after the chessboard fell. Everyone rushed to rescue him, but Song Mingong had already rolled his eyes and could only breathe out, not in. The people in the palace on the left and right screamed and scattered.
He ran away. Several guards of Song Mingong surrounded Nangong Changwan, pointing their iron halberds at him but not daring to make a move.
Nangong Changwan calmed down, threw away the chessboard, grunted, and raised his legs to leave. Unexpectedly, a guard rushed towards him with an iron halberd in hand. Nangong Changwan gave a loud shout, rushed up to meet the guard, and flew up
He kicked the guard over with one kick, then stepped forward to seize the halberd. With just one pick, the guard flew into the air and then fell heavily to the ground. When the other guards saw it, they dispersed in a rush.
Nangong Changwan did not chase after him, and strode out of the palace with his halberd in hand. As soon as he left the palace gate, he met the doctor Qiu Mu. Seeing Nangong Changwan holding the halberd in his hand, Qiu Mu asked with anger on his face, "Where is my lord?"
Nangong Changwan said: "I accidentally beat him to death."
Qiu Mu monster screamed, his hands turned into claws, and he rushed towards Nangong Changwan, trying to fight him. Nangong Changwan raised his hand and stabbed Qiu Mu to the ground with a halberd. The guards outside the palace gate all knew how powerful Nangong Changwan was.
, no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Nangong Changwan just left. Half a mile out, he suddenly encountered a patrol of soldiers. When Nangong Changwan saw the sergeant riding a horse, he shouted: "Come here, everyone. Get off your horse and take your
Give me the horse."
Seeing that it was General Nangong, the soldiers came over in a polite manner. The leading sergeant dismounted first. Without saying anything, Commander Nangong grabbed the reins, turned over on the horse, knocked his legs in the stirrups, and then
He walked away. The sergeant who had his horse taken away shook his head and continued patrolling with his men.
Let's talk about the guards guarding the palace gate. When they saw that Nangong Changwan had left, several people got together to discuss. The leader said: "General Nangong is obviously rebelling. We must inform Dazai immediately." So, the guards selected one person and rode on
A fast horse flew to the mansion of Dazai Huadu.
When Governor Hua heard that Song Mingong and Qiu Mu had been killed by Nangong Changwan, he immediately ordered people to prepare horses and carts, and then rushed to the military camp with a few followers. Along the way, he kept urging the groom: "Hurry,
No matter how fast you go, you have to get ahead of Nangong Changwan." Governor Hua knew clearly that when the Song army returned to Nangong Changwan, he would have the final say once Nangong Changwan arrived at the military camp first.
It was after noon, and the blazing sun was slightly tilted to the west. Watteau's carriage bumped on the bumpy road, and a puff of dust and smoke rose from behind. Watteau's face was covered with a layer of dust. But he was nervous and didn't care at all.
Huadu's carriage had just reached the halfway point when a man and a horse came forward. The man on the horse was tall, with a beard on his face, and he was holding a halberd in his hand.
The groom blurted out: "General Nangong is here."
Governor Hua raised his eyes and saw that it was Nangong Changwan. His heart suddenly rose to his throat. He shouted to the groom: "Go quickly, go quickly, hit the horse and go quickly."
The groom whipped his whip twice, and Hua Du's carriage immediately accelerated. Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, Nangong Changwan's carriage was blocked by Nangong Changwan, who raised his horse and raised his halberd. Huadu's groom pulled the reins urgently, so that he did not hit Nangong Changwan.
.
As soon as the carriage came to a stop, Governor Hua leaned out of the carriage and asked, pretending to be surprised, "General, why did you stop me?"
Nangong Changwan asked: "Where is Dazai going?"
Hua Du looked flustered and said, "Uh, I, I'm going to the palace."
Nangong Changwan sneered and said: "Dazai, which way should you go to the palace? Are you afraid that you are going in the opposite direction? This road is obviously going to the barracks."
Governor Hua became more and more panicked and pointed at the groom and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, General Nangong is right, turn around quickly. Turn around."
Nangong Changwan stopped the horse's head with his long iron. He said loudly: "Old thief, you killed Kong Sima back then, and today you want to send troops to capture me. Don't blame me for not being friendly and watching the halberd."
As soon as he landed, the iron halberd in his hand pierced Hua Du's chest.
Nangong Changwan killed Hua Du, raised his halberd, mounted his horse, and galloped away. In a short time, he entered the Song army camp. This was his territory. As long as he reached the military camp, no one could do anything to him.
Nangong Changwan, who had a large number of troops, quickly stabilized the situation, and the ministers were also wise, and no one openly opposed him. Nangong Changwan appointed Song Mingong's uncle and brother Gongzi You as the king. Song Mingong's biological brother Gongzi
Yu said that he fled the Song Dynasty overnight.
The coup in the Song Dynasty came suddenly. Song Mingong paid the price with his life because he could not control his mouth. As the saying goes, "Misfortune comes from the mouth." And Nangong Changwan also went on a killing spree out of anger. Both sides seemed to be very interested.
It was too much. But the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty didn't care about this. They only looked at the results. In their minds, Nangong Changwan killed the monarch, which was the crime of regicide. This is unforgivable.
Gongziyu said that he had found out from abroad that the people were against Nangong Changwan. He then sent a well-spoken retainer to sneak back to the Song Dynasty and contacted a group of young officers to prepare for an uprising.
When the time was right, he went to Zheng State to borrow troops and horses, secretly fought back to Song State, and carried out a coordinated attack inside and outside. The result was successful. Gongzi Yu said that he killed Gongzi You and Nangong Changwan, and established himself as the king.
.
Because Gongzi Yu said that the throne is self-reliant, Guan Zhong took advantage of it and asked Duke Huan of Qi to join the princes on the order of the emperor to re-establish the throne of the Song Dynasty. In fact, his real purpose was to gather the princes
The opportunity pushed Qi Huangong to the center of the international stage.
