As the commander of the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, why did he pretend to be dumb for more

In 978, that is, the third year of the Taiping rejuvenation of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, received a report that Yang Xin, who had been in charge of the forbidden army for more than ten years, was seriously ill. At the same time, Zhao Guangyi also got a news that surprised him, Yang Xin, who had been suffering from dumbness for more than ten years, was able to speak. The so-called dumbness is dumbness, unable to speak.

Yang Xin's sudden ability to speak was not a medical miracle, but that he had no aphasia at all! So what are the lesser-known stories behind this?

Yang Xin's real name is Yang Yi, and he is a native of Yingzhou, which is today's Hejian City, Hebei Province. Yang Xin was born in the army, and served under Zhao Kuangyin in the Later Zhou period, and can be regarded as Zhao Kuangyin's descendant. After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Xin successively served as the deputy head of the horse infantry army inside and outside the power, the commander of the iron cavalry, and the commander of the control crane.

In the third year of Qiande (965), Yang Xin was promoted to the rank of official and appointed as the former capital of the palace, becoming a senior general of the forbidden army, second only to the commander of the capital and the deputy commander of the capital.

During his tenure, Yang Xin won the appreciation of Song Taizu, but in the fourth year of Qiande (966), Yang Xin suffered from "aphasia" and could not speak. After Zhao Kuangyin heard the news, he was very concerned about Yang Xin, not only went to visit the patient in person, but also "gave two million money". Yang Xin did not lose his official position because of aphasia, but was promoted.

A year later, Yang Xin was awarded the title of Jingjiang Military Festival Envoy. Another year passed, "before moving the palace, he commanded the envoys and changed the leadership of the Jianwu Army".

At this point, Yang Xin became the supreme commander of the former division of the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, which can be said to be a high authority. Zhao Kuangyin trusted him very much, and the history books said that "although the letter is sick, the quality is real, and the good part of the soldiers, pointing to Gu Shen, and being disciplined, so he sees trust, and there is no doubt about it." Although Yang Xin could not speak, he could command the soldiers and report to the emperor.

It turned out that Yang Xin used a child named Tian Yu as his own translation, "The palm of the book is the word, and the jade is not lost because it reaches its meaning."

In the ninth year of Kaibao, Zhao Kuangyin passed away, and Zhao Guangyi inherited the throne, that is, Song Taizong, he still appointed Yang Xin to take charge of the forbidden army, "changed the town of Ning Army, and led the palace to command the envoys". Two years later, Yang Xin was seriously ill, and the day before he died, he suddenly spoke. Zhao Guangyin was "shocked when he heard it" and hurriedly came to Yang Xin's mansion.

Yang Xin cried and thanked the emperor, "Encountering two dynasties, the grace is magnificent, and the gratitude is emotional." Zhao Guangyi comforted Yang Xin and rewarded him with something.

It was only at this time that people understood that Yang Xin had been pretending to be dumb since 966, and he had been pretending to be dumb for 12 years! So why did Yang Xin pretend to be dumb when he was trusted by the emperors of the two dynasties, as the commander of the forbidden army? In fact, the reason is not complicated, Yang Xin pretended to be dumb purely to save his life!

As for the reason, it will start with the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was originally the commander of the former division of the forbidden army palace in the Later Zhou Dynasty, and he used a mutiny to seize the throne.

Since Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, he has always been uneasy about the forbidden army, since he can usurp the throne, it means that other forbidden army generals can also be like him. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin was very uneasy about the commander of the forbidden army, and made a "glass of wine to release the military power", and at the same time reformed the forbidden army, dividing the two divisions into three ya, and the forbidden army did not have the highest military position. Even so, Zhao Kuangyin is still not at ease.

As the commander of the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, the reason why he pretended to be dumb for more than ten years was to protect himself, otherwise he would be easily manipulated by others.

Because he wanted to save his life, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin was very distrustful of the forbidden army, and his predecessor Zhang Qiong was unjustly killed for talking nonsense, so he pretended to be dumb.

I think the main reason is to keep the light and preserve the strength, so that when necessary, the enemy can be defeated with one move, leaving no room for the enemy, and so on.

The reason was that he was in a high position at the time, and he was jealous of others, because he was afraid of being killed, so he pretended to be dumb.

The main thing is to save his life, because he knows that Zhao Kuangyin has a lot of unsightly things, so he wants to let Zhao Kuangyin let down his guard against him in this way.

Mainly because he can avoid some dangers by such behavior, and he will not be envied or framed by others, and he can protect himself.

Because he wanted to use this disguise to avoid the suspicion and suspicion of Song Taizu at that time, in order to save his life, he pretended to be dumb for more than ten years.

In order to protect his life, Yang Xin was deeply trusted and loved by the emperor at that time!

Because at that time, Zhao Kuangyin of the Northern Song Dynasty was very jealous of these generals, and Yang Xin's predecessor died like this, so Yang Xin began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

I think the main reason is that he is in Taoguang, preserving his strength, so as to defeat the enemy with one move when necessary, leaving no room for the enemy, etc.

This person is Yang Xin, in order to protect himself, some people say that he has pretended to be dumb for more than ten yearsIn the end, he also got Zhao Kuangyin's attention, and in the end, he also opened his mouth to thank the emperor for his attention, and he was not punished, so it can be said that the ending is relatively satisfying.

Song Taizu's suspicions were very serious, which led to the fact that there were not many people around him who could be reused, and even Zhang Qiong, who served as the palace commander, was dismissed and imprisoned by Song Taizu in just two years.

It was because of this that Song Taizong found that there was no one available around him. He thought of a personal soldier who had fought with him, Yang Xin. Zhang Qiong has a life-saving grace for Zhao Kuangyin, but Yang Xin only has hard work, and he has no great merit himself, which makes Taizu not so worried that he will be as arrogant as Zhang Qiong before.

In this way, a holy decree was sent to Yang Xin's mansion, which scared him a lot, you must know that Zhang Qiong's example is still vivid, seeing that a big celebrity went to prison because of a slander, it can be said that the ending is very sad. Thismade Yang Xin very worried, and caused a serious illness, and the illness was still very serious, and he recuperated at home for several months, and there were sequelae, that is, he became mute.

But his serious illness not only made Song Taizu dispel his previous thoughts, but also made Taizu feel that a person who can't speak is more worthy of reuse. In this way, Yang Xin still became the commander of the emperor's forbidden army, and under the experience of Zhang Qiong, he knew that he could not overstep too much, and he was very low-key.

Until 978 A.D., Yang Xin had a serious illness and did not have much time, and Song Taizong came to visit him, and at this time he actually spoke.

The famous generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to protect themselves, pretended to be dumb for more than ten years, and finally got Zhao Kuangyin's attention.

How beautiful it was at the beginning of a generation of famous generals, and then it was kept secret for more than ten years, and they were also very dumb. Remarkable.

In the end, he got Zhao Kuangyin's attention, and he also spoke, in order to thank the emperor for his attention.

In the end, he also got Zhao Kuangyin's attention, and in the end, he also opened his mouth to thank the emperor for his attention, and he was not punished, so it can be said that the ending is relatively satisfying.

This famous general is Yang Xin, who pretended to be dumb for more than ten years, and finally got Zhao Kuangyin's appreciation, and finally spoke to thank the emperor.

According to folklore and wild history, Yang Xin, who had been pretending to be a mute for more than ten years, was finally reused by Zhao Kuangyin, and he was not punished for any crimes. This ending is relatively perfect.

This kind of ending is definitely left out in the cold, as long as you have your own ideas, you must speak out and create your own beautiful future.

It was Yang Xin, it is said that he suddenly had a serious illness, and he was very sick, and he recuperated at home for several months, and he also fell into sequelae and became a mute.
