Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, how did he die?

Zhao Kuangyin of Song Taizu was a very kind founding emperor. Unfortunately, he died young. He became the son of heaven in 17, and he died in a daze. In 976, he was just 50 years old. Although Song Taizu's sudden death was covered up and whitewashed in the official history of the Song Dynasty, it was proved through various flaws that Zhao Kuangyin was murdered by his brother Zhao Guangyi.

The palace mystery is full of mystery, and future generations who fail to cater to it can only touch the "fox tail" in the old paper pile. How does the wily Zhao Guangyi avoid these hecklings? It is natural to say that he is a "national thief."

First, Zhao Kuangyin's death, Zhao Guangyi is the most suspected.

The History of Song Dynasty: Biography enthusiastically praised how the two brothers treated each other with deep feelings and sincerity. Zhao Kuangyi was ill, and Zhao Kuangyin went to the bed to take care of himself. When he burned wormwood moxibustion, his brother was afraid of scalding his younger brother, so he burned himself a few times first-brotherly love, which made people feel sorry.

Zhao Kuangyin often praised his trusted minister Zhao Guangyi, saying, "My brother was born different from ordinary people. Look carefully, he is mighty and magnificent, and he must be the Taiping emperor in the future. Even modestly said, "Ford is beyond my power." What happened to the Emperor of Song Dynasty? "First" actually flatters "second"! What makes the world suspicious is that Zhao Kuangyin, who was alert and alert during the Spring and Autumn Period, unexpectedly died suddenly overnight? There is a man. Why didn't you say it was gone?

The official record is scrawled: "On an ugly night, the emperor died in the Hall of Long Live, at the age of 50. Funeral in western Yunnan order ... "As for the cause of death, didn't mention. There are all kinds of speculations: some people say that they died of alcoholism, others say that they died of abdominal swelling and ulcers ... In fact, the biggest suspect is also the biggest beneficiary-Zhao Kuangyin's political successor Zhao Kuangyi. According to the records of Shan Ye, Hunan Province, the night before Zhao Kuangyin died, the weather was extremely cold. He and Zhao Kuangyi drank together, and the two brothers drank until late at night. Zhao Kuangyi should not have stayed in the palace, but stayed with the emperor.

That night, Zhao Kuangyin let out a strange cry and heard "the sound of candles and axes". "Ember Records" even put forward the ambiguous relationship between Mrs. Huarui and Zhao Kuangyi. Many abnormal doubts were exposed on the night when Mao died. After Zhao Kuangyi ascended the throne, he personally presided over the compilation of Mao Shi Lu, and revised some contents three times. Even so, he is not satisfied himself. For the "starting point" of a dead emperor, is it troublesome? It's really shattered glass, which makes things worse.

Secondly, the so-called "pre-alliance of the golden chamber" suddenly appeared in Records of the Emperor Taizu, and the political basis of Zhao Guangyi's usurpation was erratic and ambiguous, which was difficult to convince the public.

The History of Song Dynasty depicts this mysterious "Golden Chamber" with eyes and nose-Du Taihou is a reasonable woman. Before she died, she called Zhao Kuangyin and Prime Minister Zhao Pu to bed and left an incredible "will". Empress Dowager Cixi believed that Song Zhao was able to gain the fame of the Later Zhou Dynasty because Zhou Shizong appointed a child as the emperor. If he were a heroic monarch in his prime, there would never be a "Chen Qiao mutiny".

In order not to let this painful history repeat itself, and to safeguard the hundreds of millions of years' history of Zhao Song State, the Queen Mother ordered Zhao Kuangyin to choose a "long monarch" as his successor. Zhao Kuangyin readily agreed. The Queen Mother was naturally satisfied, so she ordered Zhao Pu to write it down in black and white, and kept this political will as a "basic national policy" in the cabinet of Huang Jinbao. If so, it is fair and reasonable in Zhao Guangyi. It happened that the origin of the so-called "golden chamber pre-alliance" was very ambiguous. This is well-known hard evidence! When Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, it was impossible to ignore the synopsis of the golden chamber.

Think about it, who wants to hide the "Fang Shangjian" of "You do things, I feel at ease" under his arm? Interestingly, when Records of the Emperor Taizu was first edited, there was no record of this important event. The "Golden Chamber Pre-Alliance" sold in the history of the Song Dynasty was added later.

After careful analysis, Zhao Guangyi's political deception is full of loopholes. When Du Taihou died, Zhao Kuangyin was only 35 years old and in good health. Zhao Guangyi is only 23 years old, not much more mature than his brother's son. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin's second son Dezhao 1 1 years old, and his fourth son Fang was 3 years old. The problem is that Zhao Kuangyin didn't die immediately. Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe you can still enjoy this country for ten or twenty years ... why rush to arrange successors?

Even if Zhao Kuangyin died a few years later, there would be no situation in which Chai Shizong's seven-year-old orphan died in the following week. Du Taihou is a clever man. He can't do that. In addition, The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber was performed by Zhao Pucai five years after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne. This kind of explanation of donkey's lips is not right for horse's mouth, and it can only fool aliens.

Third, the change of the year number can not wait, which is easy to cause a fait accompli.

Arguably, after the death of the old emperor, the new monarch generally continued to use the old title, and it was not until the following year that a new era was launched. However, Zhao Guangyi ignored these "mother's orders" and changed her title before the end of this year. He swept the world, changing the "nine-year treasure opening" with only two months left into "the first year of peaceful rejuvenation".

This unconventional risk-taking has put me on the platform of public opinion. He has only one motive: to "clear his name" first. Lest the emperor's throne be robbed. The practice of changing the yuan in advance was publicly criticized by historians. Song Taizong Chronology robbed Zhao Guangyi of his "little tail" and changed the year number in advance, ranking first.

Fourth, Zhao Guangyi cut off future troubles and eliminated the successors covered by the "Golden Chamber Pre-alliance".

Even if the so-called "Golden Chamber Alliance" does exist, the core of this document is only to provide a legal basis for "brotherhood". To put it bluntly, if my brother dies, he can't give it to his cubs. So, when Zhao Guangyi dies one day, what will be behind him? Will the emperor's position fall to his brother? Or go back to Zhao Kuangyin's children?

In order to cut off future trouble, Zhao Guangyi did not hesitate to kill his close relatives. Let's start with the poem, "Mao's four sons: Chang, Li, Li and Qin Kanghui and Wang Defang.". Xiu De and Linde both died early ",that is to say, the biggest potential opponent is the old DeZhaoHe young Fang De. Besides his elder brother, the only competitor is his younger brother, Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin. "If you want to add a crime, why not say it?" Under his personal command, his younger brother, nephews Zhao Dezhao and Zhao were cornered one by one.

As a result, Zhao Tingmei was demoted to Zhou Fang and died of depression at the age of 38; Zhao Dezhao was forced to commit suicide and reached the age of 30; Zhao Fang, like his father, died of an unknown disease at the age of 23. ...

It's over. Zhao Guangyi sat on the bloody throne, and a meaningful smile crossed her mouth. ...

A poem praised by later generations: the title of water tune

The Yellow River looks north, and the bonfire burns Kyushu. Wan Li mountains and rivers float, when will the wolf smoke stop?

The melting sword refers to the south of the Yangtze River, the blood and tears soaked in the shock of the Gaotang Dynasty, and the reputation stayed in the north.

Next to my sofa, let others sleep!

Fake Dao Guo, destroy Houshu, and level the southern Tang Dynasty. The monarch and ministers plotted to restore Mr. Xie in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Alas, I have no time. The sky is behind us, and the snow in Dai Xiao is boundless.

Tears of heroes through the ages will last for generations to come.
