-------------------------------------------------- -----------------

In the third year of Xianping, from the fourth year of Chunhua to the first year of Dao, after the uprising of Xiaobo and Li Shun, the kings of Sichuan and Shu, although the court quelled the rebellion, the people's hearts were still unstable. At this time, the general in charge of guarding Yizhou was Fu Zhaoshou, Fu Who is Zhaoshou?He is the third son of General Fu Yanqing, one of the founding heroes of the Song Dynasty, and the uncle of Fu Xiaodi, the second wife of Defang.

But Fu Zhaoshou is different from his elder brother Fu Zhaoyuan. He has an arrogant temperament and doesn't like military affairs. After arriving in Yizhou, he summoned a large number of brocade workers to weave, and sent people to the market to collect the necessary items, allowing his subordinates to blackmail and plunder.

This matter was reported to the Ministry of War. Defang saw that it was a copy from Yizhou, so he asked Qi Yuanlang, the servant of the Ministry of War, "Master Qi, what is going on in Yizhou?"

"Going back to the prince, it's not a big deal. Someone said that Yizhou defender Fu Zhaoshou is a bit arrogant. Please change the general from the court."

"Oh? Changing generals? That's not a trivial matter, Mr. Qi wants to play Ming Sheng," De Fang said

"My lord, don't worry. Although General Fu is a bit arrogant, it's not serious enough to change generals. This must be a subordinate who wantonly wrote a letter and ignored the actions of the general."

"Master Qi's words are wrong. The border guards are arrogant and uninhibited. How can they guard the gates and lead the troops? What's more, Sichuan and Shu have experienced rebellion, and the people's hearts are uneasy. Under such circumstances, we should pay more attention to it."

"My lord, General Fu is also your relative, do you want to replace him?" Qi Yuanlang asked

"If Fu Zhaoshou is really as said in the report, then he should be replaced. The lonely king only knows that the safety of the country is the most important thing, regardless of private affairs. What's more, the lonely king is now under the supervision of the Ministry of War. Lord Qi must handle this matter carefully."

"Yes, the lord is a virtuous and virtuous man, and the next official will definitely report to the sage for his decision."

[Second Day Morning] Qi Yuen Long submitted the report, and Zhenzong asked after reading it, "Has there been any verification of this matter?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I haven't sent anyone to investigate this matter yet," Qi Yuanlang said.

Zhenzong thought for a while, "Brother Emperor, what do you think?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think this matter should be taken seriously. If it is due to the personal grievances of the subordinates, it should be severely punished. If it is because of Fu Zhaoshou's lax management of the army, it should be replaced as soon as possible. The border defense of Yizhou City has also undergone rebellion, and no further negligence is allowed. .”

Zhenzong nodded, "What the emperor said is very true, I will send Di Shoujie to investigate the matter and report back as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, before Di Shoujie left the capital, there would be a battle report from Yizhou. It turned out that except for Fu Zhaoshou, Niu Mian, the magistrate of Yizhou, did not care about military affairs. Fu Zhaoshou was dissatisfied, so the guard Zhao Yanshun and other eight people planned an uprising. On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhao Yanshun led the crowd into Fu Zhaoshou's room to kill him and cut off Fu Zhaoshou's head. Afterwards, Zhao Yanshun and others occupied the armory , take out all weapons.

Knowing this, Niu Mian of Zhizhou immediately ran to Hanzhou with Zhang Shi, the transshipment envoy.When Wang Ze, the supervisor at the time, heard about the uprising, he immediately summoned Wang Jun, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Divine Guard Army, and asked him to go immediately to appease the rebellious soldiers. Unexpectedly, after Wang Jun arrived, Zhao Yanshun and others took advantage of the situation to support Wang Jun. As the commander-in-chief, Wang Jun felt that he could also be like the emperor Taizu, with a yellow robe added to be the emperor, so he established himself as the king, known as the Dashu regime, and changed it to "Huasun" in the first year, and then led his troops to capture Hanzhou. Niu Mian saw that Hanzhou was gone. broke, and fled again.Wang Jun marched into Mianzhou again, and attacked Jianmen again, but failed, so he led his troops back to Yizhou.
