The Song Dynasty was established when Zhao Kuangyin launched a mutiny. Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong passed away. His seven-year-old son Chai Zongxun succeeded to the throne and asked several ministers to assist the young emperor. Although Chai Rong was worried, but he had no choice. God wanted to accept people, and no one could keep them. Even if he felt a hundred worries in his heart, he still had to entrust these ministers.

In the second year after Zhou Shizong died, on the first day of the first lunar month of the new year, which was the first Spring Festival after Chai Zongxun came to the throne, all civil and military officials congratulated the eight-year-old little emperor Chai Zongxun on the New Year. It is a pity that before the greeting gifts were finished, bad news came from the north.

One is the Khitan from the north, and the other is the Northern Han . The two forces are coming to kill Kaifeng, the capital of the Later Zhou Dynasty. After hearing the news, a newly enthroned, only eight years old Children, who are still in the second grade of elementary school, probably don’t know how to react when they hear this news.

His mother, the Queen Mother, who was only in her twenties, was so frightened that she cried, and the civil and military ministers in the court were also panicked. The Queen Mother quickly asked Chai Rong's Minister Tuogu for advice, what should we do? My husband had just died, and less than a year later, the enemy country came.

Among these ministers, two of the three civil servants stood up, namely Fan Zhi and Wang Pu. These two said, now that the Northern Han Dynasty and Khitan have sent troops to us, the top priority now is , that is, sending a general to resist these two forces.

So who to send? The two men pointed out that those in charge of the Jin Army were sent to inspect Zhao Kuangyin. It turned out that Chai Rong had arranged for three civil servants before his death, Fan Zhi, Wei Renpu , and Wang Pu.

There are also three generals: Fu Yanqing , Li Chongjin, Li Jun. The three of them hold heavy troops and are all feudal officials of the Later Zhou Dynasty. They are responsible for guarding the military security of the Later Zhou Dynasty and preventing the invasion of foreign enemies.

In order to prevent these heavily armed frontier officials from rebelling after his death, Chai Rong set up a forbidden army to check and balance these generals. Then the leader of this forbidden army, Chai Rong, was given to Zhao Kuangyin. This shows how much Chai Rong treats Zhao Kuangyin. of trust.

But Chai Rong never imagined until his death that the person he trusted the most would be the one who blocked the way for the Chai family.

After Zhao Kuangyin received the order to resist the invasion of Khitan and Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin began to prepare military supplies and armaments. The next day, which was the second day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin sent out his deputy generals and deputy capital inspections first. , he waited until the third day of the Lunar New Year before setting off.

But on the second day of the Lunar New Year, rumors spread in the capital that the check-in official was the emperor. The common people were very panicked. At that time, we were in the troubled times of , Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, . The emperors were often changed. Every time an emperor was changed, the common people would suffer. The common people were afraid. The so-called prosperous common people suffer, and the common people suffer when they perish. bitter.

Zhao Kuangyin led the large army to a place called Chenqiaoyi forty miles northeast of Feng. The large army refused to leave. Most of the generals began to gather together and began to discuss the establishment of another emperor, because now the small The emperor is too young, only eight years old. He doesn't know or understand that we people are working hard for him. When he grows up, he doesn't know whether he will remember our hard work.

So they simply made Dian Check the emperor, so after they discussed it, they went to find someone. First of all, the person they found was Li Chuyun. When Li Chuyun heard about such a big thing, he wanted to change the emperor, not his clothes. It was like changing the day. He couldn't make the decision by himself, so he went to find Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi and another capable general Zhao Pu under Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Pu was the man who ruled the world with half of the Analects. They were discussing, but all the generals came over and unanimously proposed to establish Dian Jian as the emperor.

What is Zhao Kuangyin doing at this time? Unfortunately, he drank too much at this time and was sleeping soundly. When Zhao Pu heard that these generals wanted to support Zhao Kuangyin as the prince, he told them that Zhao Kuangyin was a loyal man and would never agree to your doing this. You'd better do it as soon as possible. Don't worry about it, don't let the inspector hear about it.

After hearing Zhao Pu's words, some of the timid ones quietly withdrew and stopped insisting, but some of the bolder ones did not leave and just discussed there.

After the discussion, the generals who had discussed it began to enter the big tent again. At this time, they did not talk to Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi in the same tone as they had just discussed. What they said at this time was very shocking, saying that we had proposed In order to make Xian Quan the emperor, if this thing cannot be accomplished and if it reaches the ears of the little emperor in the capital, we will be guilty of treason. At that time, we will not be able to survive. Not only will we not be able to survive, our family will also follow. We are in trouble, so we have no way out.

After hearing this, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu compromised. What they said was indeed reasonable, so they began to order a new king to be established outside. Then they began to set rules for these generals. You must take good care of you. His subordinates must strictly observe military discipline and must not burn, kill or loot. They must ensure the stability of the capital. If chaos breaks out in the capital and spreads from all directions, it will not end well. These people readily agreed.

Then these people started to get busy. On the one hand, they sent people to rush back to the capital to protect Zhao Kuangyin's family members. If the news leaked out, if the emperor knew about it, he would have Zhao Kuangyin's family members under control. Sometimes, they become passive, which makes things difficult to handle.

On the other hand, someone was sent to account for the two Forbidden Army generals who were still guarding the capital. They were also Zhao Kuangyin's two best buddies: Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi.

After these two aspects were arranged, these people rushed into the big tent without waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to wake up, and each of these people had their swords unsheathed. When Zhao Guangyi walked into the big tent, Zhao Kuangyin He was awakened and was stunned when he saw the postures of these people. Before he could realize what was going on, someone had already taken out a ready-made yellow robe and put it on Zhao Kuangyin.

When the generals saw Zhao Kuangyin wearing a yellow robe, they all knelt on the ground and shouted long live. But Zhao Kuangyin firmly refused and insisted on taking off the yellow robe, but the people around him stopped Zhao Kuangyin and refused to let him take it off.

Just like that, after Zhao Kuangyin took a nap, he was dressed in a yellow robe and became the emperor. Everyone who saw this felt strange, but this is what history records.

But it is a bit far-fetched to say that Zhao Kuangyin was completely unaware of the fact that he was wearing a yellow robe. Even if he did not participate in the plan to usurp the throne and become the emperor, at least he hinted his thoughts and ambitions to his subordinates. Otherwise, their subordinates would not do this. Who is willing to risk their lives and engage in rebellion? It will cost their heads.

I have to say that this is the most dramatic scene in history in winning the throne, and it is also the most special "mutiny". Historically known as Chenqiao's mutiny , it also gave rise to the idiom "yellow robe added to the body"
