Brief introduction of Zhao Kuangyin's military affairs

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin (927-976), a native of Zhuozhou, was the founder of the Northern Song Dynasty in China. Zhao was born in a military family, the second son. In 948, Guo Wei, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, made great contributions. In 19951year, Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as an imperial envoy, and Zhou Shizong was inspected from the official to the front of the temple. In 960, in the name of "pacifying the two countries", he lied that Qidan joined the Northern Han Dynasty and invaded the south in a large scale, led troops to war, launched a mutiny in Chen Qiao, proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Zhou Dynasty, established the Song Dynasty, and made Kaifeng its capital. On 16. During his reign, he strengthened centralization, advocated literati politics, and created a prosperous period of China's civilian administration. He was a wise and kind emperor and an outstanding figure who promoted the development of history.

Edit this life experience

Zhao Kuangyin was born in Zhuozhou, Hebei. Born into a military family, Zhao Yi, a great-grandfather, and Zhao Jing, a grandfather. Father Zhao Ba moved to Luoyang. He was born in Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu.

Luoyang jiamaying His father was an official in the later Tang Dynasty, the later Jin Dynasty and the later Han Dynasty. At first, Zhao Kuangyin defected to Guo Wei, a general of the later Han Dynasty. Because he loves martial arts, he is appreciated by Guo Wei. Later, as the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, he participated in the establishment of Guo Wei and was reused as an imperial guard. Zhou Shizong Chai Rongshi, who was promoted to the highest general of the emperor's pro-army, was in charge of the military power in the later Zhou Dynasty and was appointed by the German part-time to guard Bianjing in Songzhou (now south of Shangqiu County, Henan Province). After Zhou Shizong's death, his son Chai Zongxun succeeded to the throne at the age of seven. Zhao Kuangyin and his brother Zhao Kuangyi's assistant Zhao Pu conspired to usurp the throne. In the first month of 960 A.D., people from Zhou Zhen (now Zhengding County, Hebei Province) and Dingzhou (now Dingzhou City, Hebei Province) came to Bianjing to report the joint attack of the Northern Han and Liao countries in the following week. Empress Dowager Cixi Zhou Fu and Prime Ministers Fan Ju and wang pu can't tell the truth from the false. They quickly sent Zhao Kuangyin to the north to defend the enemy. On the Chinese New Year's Day, I went to Chen Qiaoyi (now 40 miles northeast of Kaifeng City, Henan Province). At dawn the next day, there was a sudden uproar around Chen Qiaoyi. Zhao Kuangyin woke up drunk and walked out of the bedroom, only to see the generals standing in front of the court, one by one armed with weapons, led by Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu, saying in unison, "You generals have no master, so please be emperors." Before Zhao Kuangyin could answer, people put on the prepared yellow robe, then bowed down and shouted "Long live". This event is known as "Chen Qiao mutiny". Then, Zhao Kuangyin returned to Bianjing with a great army. Han Tong, the minister of the Zhou Dynasty, heard of the misfortune and rushed home from the Imperial Palace to prepare for organizing the army to fight. On the way, Zhao Kuangyin's men killed him. Prime Ministers Fan Ju and wang pu gave in under threat. On the afternoon of the fifth day of the first month, Zhao Kuangyin abandoned Chai Zongxun and proclaimed himself emperor. The founding name was Song, and Bianjing was its capital. Historically known as the Northern Song Dynasty, the founding year was "Stegosaurus". After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin saw the separatist forces in the world and said to Zhao Pu, "I can't sleep because the people's territory is outside the bed." With the help of Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin first defeated the resistance of Li Jun and Li Zhongjin, the remnants of the later Zhou Dynasty, and then adopted the strategy of "south first and then north" to unify China, successively conquered the separatist regimes of Nanping, Hunan, Houshu, Nanhan and Nantang, and strengthened the defense of the northern Qidan. In order to strengthen centralization, Zhao Kuangyin has taken many measures. In the second year of Stegosaurus (AD 96 1 year), on the ninth night of July, Song Taizu hosted a banquet in honor of the imperial generals Shi Shouxin and others. Halfway through the drink, Song Taizu said: "If it weren't for the support of the generals; I wouldn't be here today. However, when the emperor, life is really hard, it is better to be our idle people. Now I can't sleep well almost all night. " Shi Shouxin and others asked, "Your Majesty is the son of heaven now. What's on your mind? " Song Taizu said, "Who doesn't want to sit in my seat?" Shi Shouxin and others heard something strange, and quickly confessed: "Since the destiny has been decided, who dares to be unfaithful?" Mao wry smile way: "although you won't have infidelity, but if one day your subordinates put on a yellow robe for you, even if you don't want to be an emperor!" " When Shi Shouxin heard this, he was shocked. He quickly bowed down and said with tears, "We were so stupid that we didn't think of this. Please show us a way out. " Zhao Kuangyin said: "The life span of an individual is as short as the blink of an eye; Life is only for abundance and enjoyment. I plan for you, why don't you hand over the military power, go to the local government, buy some fertile land and beautiful houses, leave a manor for future generations, and you can also drink and have fun every day; Happy life. I will marry you again. So there will be no suspicion between the monarch and the minister. Isn't it good to live in peace? " Shi Shouxin and others listened to this kind of bite the hand that feeds them, and walked around the next day to hand over the relieving. Soon, Mao arrived in Zhao Kuangyin.

Similarly, we deprived Wang Yanchao and others of their military power at that time, and returned the local administrative power and financial power to the central government. These measures basically put an end to the situation of local separatism that has appeared many times in China's history. Zhao Kuangyin also attaches importance to agricultural production, water conservancy construction, reducing corvee and promoting social and economic development. Zhao Kuangyin was a versatile emperor. However, his emphasis on "defending the country at home and abroad" and his emphasis on literature over martial arts led to the situation of "emphasizing the inside and neglecting the outside" and "accumulating poverty and weakness" after the Northern Song Dynasty. He distributed a large number of fields to generals who surrendered military power, which intensified the annexation of land and made class contradictions increasingly acute. Although Zhao Kuangyin is a military commander, he likes reading very much and often can't put it down. When he followed Zhou Shizong Pingjianghuai (now Huaihe River Basin), someone told Zhou Shizong that he used several cars to carry his personal belongings, all of which were treasures. Sectarian people to check; There are only a few thousand books in the car. Sejong asked him, "You are a military commander. What's the use of asking for books! " Zhao Kuangyin replied, "I don't have any good strategies for your majesty, so I can only read more books to enrich my knowledge. After Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, he also respected and valued the literati. On one occasion, he met a difficult problem and asked Prime Minister Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu couldn't answer it. Asked the scholar again, bachelor Gu Tao and Dou Yi answered accurately. Zhao Kuangyin said with deep understanding: "The Prime Minister must use the scholar!" For civil servants and military commanders who don't read much, Zhao Kuangyin always encourages them to read more to make up for their own shortcomings. It was with his encouragement that Zhao Pu became obsessed. Zhao Kuangyin employs people regardless of seniority. On the one hand, he ordered his deputies to pay attention to selecting talented people who lacked qualifications to take on heavy responsibilities; On the other hand, he always pays attention to all officials inside and outside, and secretly writes down his strengths and talents in his notebook. Whenever there is a vacancy in the official position, he looks through his notebook and chooses the right person to take it. This, in turn, made the envoys devote themselves to improving themselves. Visiting Putu on a Snowy Night

Zhao Kuangyin is quite bold. When he first ascended the throne, the power of our time was very strong and arrogance was uncontrollable. One day, Zhao Kuangyin called them together and gave them each a sword, a strong bow and a good horse. Then he got on the horse alone, without escort, and galloped out of the palace with this time. When we got to the Woods of Guzimen, we dismounted and drank with them. After a few drinks, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said to them, "There is no one here. Whoever wants to be emperor can kill me and then ascend to the throne. " These festivals were drowned by his spirit. One by one fell to the ground, trembling all over, and even shouted "dare not, dare not". Zhao Kuangyin asked again and again. They were very scared and just buried their heads silently. Zhao Kuangyin reprimanded them and said, "Since you want me to be emperor, you must fulfill your responsibilities as a courtier, and you must not be arrogant and lawless in the future!" Long live our times as a sign of obedience. When Zhao Kuangyin entered Bianjing Palace after the mutiny in Chen Qiao, he saw the princess holding a baby and asked whose son it was. The answer is child. At that time, Fan Ju, Zhao Pu and Pan Mei were all nearby, and Zhao Kuangyin asked them how to deal with them. Zhao Pu and others replied: "It should be removed to avoid future troubles." Zhao Kuangyin said: "I can't bear to take over the position of human beings and then kill my son." I gave my child to Pan Mei to raise, and I never asked about it again. Pan Mei never mentioned the child to Mao. When the baby grows up, he is named Wikipedia, and the official is the secretariat. On another occasion, Zhao Kuangyin rode out of the palace. When passing through Daxi Bridge, a sniper arrow suddenly flew and hit Huanglong Banner. The guards were shocked, but Taizu patted his chest and said, "Thank you for teaching me to shoot arrows." Guards are not allowed to search archers. Sure enough, it will be all right in the future. Chen Qiaoyi is between Chen Qiao and Fengqiu (both in the northeast of Kaifeng). Zhao Kuangyin mutiny, Chen Qiao guarding the gate behind closed doors, don't let Zhao Kuangyin army through. Zhao Kuangyin had to turn around and seal the mound, and the gatekeeper immediately opened the door for release. After Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, he was promoted to be the gatekeeper of Chen Qiao, praised him for being loyal to his duties, reprimanded the gatekeeper of Fengqiu for dereliction of duty and beheaded the public. Zhao Kuangyin likes to play with birds in the backyard. Once, a courtier claimed that there was an emergency, and Zhao Kuangyin immediately took over the "Axis Tour".

[2] See him. Zhao Kuangyin looked at the newspaper, but it was a trivial matter. He was angry and asked him why he lied. The courtier replied, "I think the smallest thing is more important than shooting birds." Zhao Kuangyin hit him in the mouth with the handle of an axe and broke two of his teeth. The courtiers did not feel pain, but slowly leaned forward, picked up their teeth and held them in their arms. Mao asked angrily, "Did you pick up your teeth and put them away to sue me?" The courtier replied, "I have no right to sue your majesty. My own historian will record today's events." Hearing this, Mao suddenly lost his temper, knowing that he was a loyal minister, and ordered him to be rewarded as a compliment. In 976 ad 10, there was something wrong, and the military, political and personnel were all entrusted. Zhao Kuangyi deals with state affairs during the day and visits his brother in Viva Hall at night. That night, it was snowing heavily, and Zhao Kuangyi was still reading a newspaper in the Imperial Hall. A eunuch hurried to report that the emperor had asked him to go to the Hall of Long Live. He quickly saw Zhao Kuangyin panting on the bed, speechless, just staring at the door with wide eyes, I don't know what that means. Zhao Kuangyi ordered the eunuch waiting at the bedside to quit. Eunuchs stood outside the door at a distance, only to hear what seemed to be hair talking in the temple. The voice is weak and intermittent, so it's hard to hear clearly. After a while, I saw the candlelight flickering on the wall of the temple, as if Zhao Kuangyi was hiding from something. Then there was the sound of an axe poking the ground, and then there was Mao's excited voice: "You work hard!" " At this moment, Zhao Guangyi ran to the door and called the eunuch to invite the queen and the prince. When the queen and the prince arrived, Mao was already dead. On this basis, later generations have all kinds of doubts. Some people say that Zhao Kuangyi entered the harem and flirted with his Taizu concubine Fisher when Taizu was asleep. When Mao woke up, he flew into a rage and threw an axe to chop. Zhao Kuangyi dodged and the axe struck the ground. Some say that Mao feels haunted and dances an axe to exorcise ghosts for him, so there is the sound of an axe splitting the ground; Some people think that Zhao Kuangyi murdered Mao. Until now, the sound of candles and axes has been a mystery for thousands of years.

Edit the main events in this paragraph.

Chen Qiao mutiny

Chen Qiao mutiny is a mutiny event launched by Zhao Kuangyin to replace the later Zhou Dynasty to establish the Song Dynasty. In the sixth year of Xiande in the later Zhou Dynasty (959), Sejong Chai Rong suddenly died of illness. Prime Minister Fan Ju was ordered to help Chai Zongxun, Chai Rong's youngest son, succeed him as Emperor Gong. At this time, Emperor Gong was only 7 years old (say, 5 years old), and the unstable situation of "suspecting the country" appeared in the following week. A military coup planned by Zhao Kuangyin who returned from the inspection in front of the temple and senior imperial generals Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi is brewing. On the first day of the first month of the following year, it got wind that Qidan and Northern Han sent troops south. Fan Ju, the ruling minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and others did not distinguish between true and false, so they quickly sent Zhao Kuangyin to command the army to draw a map of Cuju in the north.

[3] resist. On the third day of the first month, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops out of Beijing and spent the night in Chen Qiaoyi (now Chenqiao Town, southeast of Fengqiu, Henan Province), 20 kilometers northeast of Kaifeng, and the mutiny plan was put into practice. That night, some of Zhao Kuangyin's cronies spread their opinions among the soldiers, saying, "Today, the emperor is young and weak, and he can't lead the country. We work for our country and crush the enemy. Who knows? " If you don't let Zhao Kuangyin be emperor first, then set out for the Northern Expedition. ". The mutiny of the soldiers was quickly stirred up. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi (later renamed Guangyi, that is, Song Taizong Zhao Huan) and his cronies Zhao Pu saw that the time was ripe, so they instructed the soldiers to put a yellow robe of the emperor who had been prepared in advance on Zhao Kuangyin, who had just woken up drunk, and they all bowed to the court. Long live could be heard for miles, so they made him emperor. Zhao Kuangyin pretended to be forced to say, "You are greedy and rich, and you made me the son of heaven. You can obey my orders, otherwise I can't be the Lord. " Supporters all said that "only life is listening." Zhao Kuangyin publicly announced that after returning to Kaifengfu, the Empress Dowager and the little emperors of the Zhou Dynasty should not make a fuss, nor should they occupy and plunder the state treasury of the Zhou Dynasty. Those who obey orders are rewarded, those who disobey orders are punished, and all soldiers answer "yes"! So Zhao Kuangyin led the troops to Li Kaifeng. Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi and others, the main generals defending the imperial capital, used to be Zhao Kuangyin's "League". When they learned that the mutiny was successful, they opened the city gate to meet them. At that time, among the imperial generals in Kaifeng in the later Zhou Dynasty, only the guards, the pro-army and the deputy "ma bu" or horse stance just look commanded Han Tong to lead his troops to resist hastily, and before he could muster troops, he was killed by Wang in the military school. Chen Qiao mutinous soldiers took control of Kaifeng, the capital of the latter Zhou Dynasty, without bloodshed. At this time, Fan Ju, the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and other talents knew that they couldn't tell whether the military intelligence was true or false. They quickly sent generals to be fooled, but they could only lead officials to obey orders. Gu Tao, a scholar of Hanlin, took out the prepared Zen imperial edict and announced the abdication of the Duke of Zhou. Zhao Kuangyin then formally ascended the throne, easily usurping the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty and changing the title of Gong Di Chai Zongxun to Zheng Wang. Because it was designated as a German buffer region in the later Zhou Dynasty, it was located in Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan Province), so it took Song as the country name and made Kaifeng its capital. Historically, it is customary to call the Zhao and Song Dynasties established by Zhao Kuangyin the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin was honored as Song Taizu after his death. This is the truth of the famous story "Chen Qiao mutiny, wearing a yellow robe" in history.

Relieve from military duties by drinking.

Although Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne of the emperor, he dared not sit back and relax. Through this mutiny, he deeply realized Zhao Kuangyin's inscription and postscript.

[4], military commanders have great energy to abolish the emperor and change the dynasty. Yes, since he can overthrow the monarch himself as a military commander, can't other generals overthrow him in the same way? He shuddered at the thought of this. Especially a threat to him, are some prestigious and heavily armed generals, in order to nip in the bud, Zhao Kuangyin is determined to take their operation. First of all, Taizu abolished the post of patrol in front of the temple, and then directed a comedy "Solving soldiers with a glass of wine". One day, Shi Shouxin and others were called to the back garden by the Imperial Palace, and Taizu gave a banquet to treat each other. After three rounds of drinking, Mao said sadly, "I didn't get here by your efforts, but it was too difficult to be an emperor." Happy is better than unhappy. I dare not lie down all night! " When Shi Shouxin and others asked him why, Mao said, "It's not hard to know. Who doesn't want to be an emperor? " Shi Shouxin was shocked and confessed, "Why did your Majesty make such a statement? Today's life has been decided. Who dares to be unfaithful? " "Otherwise!" Mao said categorically, "Although you don't object, if your subordinates want to get rich, even if you don't want to be an emperor, can you do it?" Hearing this, the generals were scared to leave and kowtow, asking Mao to show a "way" and Mao to show his true meaning: "Life is like a blink of an eye. Those who seek wealth just want to accumulate more money and have more entertainment to save their children from poverty. " Why not release the military power, go out to guard the place, buy more fertile land and beautiful houses, set an unshakable industry for future generations, and buy more cabaret artists at the same time, and spend the rest of their lives drinking and having fun day and night. I will marry you again, and there will be no suspicion between the monarch and the minister. Isn't that great? People understood Mao's meaning and bowed down together, saying, "Your majesty cares about his ministers. It's really a matter of life and death!" The next day he claimed to be ill. Mao was overjoyed and arranged for them to do our time in the local area. Zhao Kuangyin's several glasses of wine easily solved the problem of the general monopolizing the military power, which was praised as "the application of the highest political art" and became an eternal story.

Emphasis on literature over martial arts, centralization

During Zhao Kuangyin's reign, he learned the lesson that the eunuch's autocracy and separatist regime in Tang Dynasty led to his demise, and cut off the power of the military attache, so as to emphasize literature over martial arts and strengthen centralization, so that the problem of eunuch's autocracy and separatist regime did not exist in Song Dynasty. Song Taizu vigorously advocated Confucianism and increased the number of imperial examinations. Compared with other dynasties, the society in Song Dynasty was more stable and fair, and literature, philosophy, art, science and technology and education were more developed. However, the result of emphasizing literature over martial arts also led to the lack of military strength in the Song Dynasty, and most foreign wars ended in failure.

Reform the system

Song Taizu was an ambitious emperor. One morning, the ministers of civil and military affairs reported their work one by one, and then retreated outside the temple. Finally, Fan Ju, the old prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, is still the prime minister. When Fan Ju was about to walk out of the door of the temple, suddenly a message came, asking Fan Qing to wait a moment. I have something important to discuss with you. When Fan Ju heard the news, he turned and walked back to the temple, and sat down as the Prime Minister again. It turns out that in ancient China, the prime minister had a high position and could sit and talk with the emperor. People often say that the prime minister is an official who is below one person and above ten thousand people. Even the emperor respects the prime minister and gives him three points. Therefore, when the monarch negotiates with his ministers, the prime minister can sit and talk to the emperor, while other officials can only stand. After Fan Ju sat down, Song Taizu handed him a minister's report. Fan, how do you think to solve this problem? Fan Ju took the letter and looked at it carefully. Then Song Taizu got up from the dragon chair and walked to the harem. After reading the paper, Prime Minister Fan Ju thought of a good idea. But waiting for the emperor to come out, Fan Ju couldn't wait any longer, so he got up and went to find the emperor. At this moment, Song Taizu came out, and Fan Ju sat down quickly, but looking back, the chair was gone. It turned out that when Fan Zhi got up and didn't pay attention, the guards around him quietly took the chair away. Fan Ju didn't know what to do, so he had to stand and talk to Song Taizu. In the last dynasty, the prime minister, like other ministers, could only stand and talk to the emperor. This system was later adopted by various dynasties. This shows that Song Taizu is ambitious and wants to monopolize power.

Northern expedition to Qidan, sudden death on the way.

In the ninth year of Kaibao (976), Zhao Kuangyin was drinking with his brother Zhao Guangyi on the way to the northern expedition to Qidan, and stayed in the palace. The next morning, 49-year-old Zhao Kuangyin died suddenly. In July the following year, he was buried in Yongchang Mausoleum. Regarding the death of Zhao Kuangyin, there is a popular saying in Hunan's Records of Shan Ye that Zhao Kuangyin was killed by Zhao Guangyi who attempted to usurp the throne.

Edit this anecdote

On one occasion, he gave a banquet in honor of ministers. One of them was an academician named Wang Zhu, who was a courtier of the Zhou Dynasty.

Song Taizu's portraits (9) are drunk, miss his old master and make noise in public. Ministers were so scared that they all sweated for him. Mao didn't blame him, but ordered someone to help him out to have a rest. Wang Zhu refused to go out, hiding behind the screen and crying loudly. As a result, he was saved by people on both sides. The next day, some people said that Wang Zhu cried in public and missed Zhou Shizong, so he should be severely punished. Mao said, "He is drunk. I was a minister with him when I was in Sejong, and I was familiar with his temper. He is a scholar, and crying to death will not be a big problem. Let him go. " 2. Zhao Kuangyin once rode out of the palace and passed Daxi Bridge. Suddenly, an arrow came from behind and hit Huanglong Banner. The guards were shocked, but Taizu patted his chest and said, "Thank you for teaching me to shoot arrows." Guards are not allowed to search archers. Sure enough, it will be all right in the future. 3. A large family named Zhao in Handan is called Zhao Yuanwai. Mr. Zhao's family is rich and charitable. In the melee of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Zhao Kuangyin, who fought in the south and fought in the north, was injured by the war. He once fought in Handan. War wounds and typhoid fever hit the body and fainted in the Homer Temple in Handan. Fortunately, he was rescued by Mr. Zhao and his family. He took good care of it, especially the crispy fish and crispy soup made by the Zhao family, nourishing and strengthening the body. Zhao Kuangyin returned to normal after half a month. In 960, Zhao Kuangyin was in. Zhao Kuangyin mentioned many times that without Mr. Zhao, there would be no Great Song Kingdom.

Edit this cause of death speculation

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, the official History of Song Dynasty has made various Song Taizu brothers and sisters about the cause of Song Taizu's sudden death.

[5] Concealing, whitewashing, but still proved through various flaws: 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." One of the reasons is the death of Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Guangyi is the biggest suspect. The History of Song Dynasty: Biography enthusiastically praised how the two brothers treated each other with deep feelings and sincerity. Zhao Guangyi 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: "The emperor died in the Hall of Long Live at the age of fifty. 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 Guangyi. According to the records of Shan Ye, Hunan Province, the night before Zhao Kuangyin died, the weather was extremely cold. He and Zhao Guangyi 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 Guangyi. 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, to add insult to injury. The second reason is that the so-called "Golden Chamber Pre-alliance" 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 Kuangyi 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 Kuangyi ascended the throne. This kind of explanation of donkey's lips is not right for horse's mouth, and it can only fool aliens. The third reason is that the change of the year number can't 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. The fourth reason is that Zhao Kuangyi cut off the future trouble 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 the little boy. So, when Zhao Kuangyi dies one day, what will he do 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 all over. Zhao Kuangyi sat on the bloody throne, and a meaningful smile flashed across his mouth ... Later generations praised the poem: Yellow River, the head of water regulation, looking north, bonfire burning 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.
