On the first day of the first lunar month in 960 AD, when the people were still immersed in the festive season of the Spring Festival, the court of Later Zhou was disturbed by an emergency military situation:
Khitan and Northern Han went south together.
Fan Zhi , who was the prime minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty at that time, was disorganized after hearing this. He did not send anyone to verify the authenticity of the military situation, so he hurriedly sent the general Zhao Kuangyin to lead the army to resist.
On the second day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin left the capital in a mighty way. After walking for a day, the army only walked twenty kilometers and prepared to stay overnight in Chenqiaoyi .
result On that night, the soldiers mutiny and surrounded Zhao Kuangyin in yellow robe. Zhao Kuangyin, who had just woken up, was very "wronged", but he also became emperor half-suppressed and returned to Kaifeng Prefecture with the army. The young Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Zongxun had to abdicate.
This is the story of Zhao Kuangyin wearing a yellow robe. Obviously, there are too many unreasonable things in it, but we only need to think about it for a little bit of to conclude that Zhao Kuangyin wearing a yellow robe is a conspiracy. Khitan and Northern Han did not go south, and the army of Later Zhou did not immediately go to the front line, but just circled around Kaifeng and went back.
So, if Zhao Kuangyin did not think of becoming an emperor, it was undoubtedly absurd, but what Zhao Kuangyin did not expect was that not only did the throne not benefit his descendants, but also almost ruined him, the problem lies with Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi .
After Zhao Kuangyin passed away inexplicably, the throne fell on Zhao Guangyi's head. After that, his lineage monopolized the throne. It was not until Zhao Kuangyin's tenth-generation grandson, Zhao Yun, succeeded to the throne to the Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty, that the throne was transferred to Zhao Kuangyin's lineage.
is just Song Lizong is not good, and several sons died one after another, resulting in no successor. In the end, he chose an idiot as his successor, known in history as Song Duzong.
This The only idiot emperor in the Song Dynasty was dull and lustful by nature. He summoned 30 concubines on the night of his succession.
The stories of these two emperors are quite speechless, let’s take a look together.
Song Lizong chose his heir
Song Lizong Zhao Yun was the fifth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, but before he became emperor, no one would think that the pie falling from the sky happened to hit his head.
Zhao Yun is the tenth generation grandson of Zhao Kuangyin. Since Zhao Guangyi became emperor, descendants of Zhao Kuangyin's lineage have been excluded from the crown prince, so his initial identity was not a prince at all, and his bloodline has also been very alienated from the royal family of Zhao Song .
However, the fourth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty Song Ningzong was too unsatisfactory. All his eight biological sons died young, so an embarrassing situation of no successors. For this reason, he could only let the prime minister Shi Miyuan secretly look for the children of the royal family with good character. Finally, after the recommendation of his aide Yu Tianci , Zhao Yun was appointed King of Yi, only one step away from the throne.
Song Ningzong also had an adopted son named Zhao Rong. He was originally the crown prince, but when Song Ningzong passed away, Shi Miyuan joined forces with the fake edict to abolish Zhao Rong and established Zhao Yun as the new monarch for Song Lizong.
Shi Miyuan is a powerful minister. He firmly controls the government. Zhao Yun sees the situation very clearly. He is not anxious or impatient. He waits for more than ten years before taking power after Shi Miyuan's death.
Song Lizong was also considered an emperor with a rank. He carried out very effective reforms at the beginning of his succession, which is known in history as Duanping and Renewal.
However, Song Lizong and Song Ningzong faced the same situation, and his sons died at a very young age. From this point of view, it is not difficult for us to speculate that the emperors of the entire Zhao Song Dynasty should have some genetic disease, so that it is difficult for infants and young children to grow up healthily.
Since Song Lizong had no parent-child, he naturally had to find a successor to the throne. However, there was only one family member who could choose to be closer to the royal family, namely, the only son of King Rong Zhao and Rui, Zhao Zhu .
Song Duzong is dull and lustful
Zhao Feng's mother was originally just a concubine of Zhao Yurui, named Huang Dingxi. Because of her humble origin, she was always bullied by Zhao Yurui's other wives and concubines.
Zhao Yurui is Song Lizong's younger brother. He is quite difficult for his children because he has put a lot of effort into giving birth to a child. It was not until Huang Dingxi became pregnant that he let out a long sigh of relief.
is just Zhao Yurui's genuine wife, she was afraid that Huang Dingxi would steal her wealth and glory, so she immediately forced her to take the abortion pill. However, they did not expect that the abortion pill did not abort the child in her womb, and Huang Dingxi gave birth to a baby boy, the later Song Duzong Zhao Hu.
Zhao and Rui were very happy, and Zhao Xu was the only boy among the emperor's close relatives, so he was naturally protected by high standards. However, the side effects of the abortion pill were too great. Although he was born, he was already poisonous and was born weak, so he would walk independently only after he was late.
When Zhao Xu grows up, his problems become more and more obvious. He can't speak at the age of seven, and his intelligence is far lower than that of a normal child.
In order to train Zhao Zhu, Song Lizong brought him into the palace and found a famous teacher for him to teach him, but in the end he failed to enlighten him.
left prime minister Wu Qian felt that it was really harmful to let such an idiot child be regarded as his heir, so he submitted a report to Song Lizong to choose another family of the royal family. Song Lizong was unwilling to do so. After all, he was elected from the people and had little to do with the Zhao Song family at that time.
Treacherous minister Jia SidaoIt was already unhappy that Wu Qian was not happy, so he took the opportunity to participate in his book. As a result, Wu Qian was demoted from the capital. Since then, no one dared to persuade Song Lizong again. After the death of Song Lizong, the stupid and lustful Zhao Xu officially ascended the throne and became the only idiotic emperor in the Song Dynasty.
Summoning 30 concubines overnight
0 After Song Duzong Zhao Hu ascended the throne, Jia Sidao firmly controlled the government. The court in the Southern Song Dynasty was in chaos, but for Zhao Hu, this was a beautiful thing. After all, he had plenty of time to enjoy life.
Zhao Feng is weak and incompetent, his intelligence is low, but he is not inferior to the level of debauchery. He , who served in the harem all day long and drank and had fun with his concubines. " Zizhi Tongjian " also records a ridiculous thing about him:
is the crown prince, and he is interested in internal news; after he is established, he is interested in wine and sex. The story is that the concubines come to the imperial court and go to the door in the morning to thank him. The master wrote the month and day. At the beginning of the emperor, more than 30 people thanked him in one day.
means that Song Duzong was very lustful when he was the crown prince. At the beginning of his succession, he summoned more than 30 concubines overnight.
Some people may say, how could the historian know about such a privacy?
This is Because the court had regulations at that time that any concubine who was summoned to sleep at night must come to Hemen to thank the emperor for his favor the next morning. The eunuchs in charge of recording the day of their blessing will register the names of these concubines one by one.
When Song Duzong just ascended the throne, there were more than 30 concubines who came to Hemen to thank him in one day, which naturally means that he summoned so many concubines overnight, which is really licentious.
In 1274 AD, Song Duzong died of excessive drinking and sex at the age of 34, which ended his ridiculous life. Although the Southern Song regime was not destroyed in his hands, it was still at the verge of a desperate end, and it was only a matter of time before it perished.
I believe Zhao Kuangyin would never have thought that such a strange person would appear in his descendants. He really insulted his majesty and lost his face.
