In 960 AD, the later Zhou Dynasty general Zhao Kuangyin launched a mutiny in Chenqiao and established the Song Dynasty. Although he became the emperor by extraordinary means, this Song Taizu was still a relatively enlightened monarch, whether he was a man or an emperor. Historically, it is called on the number.
First of all, he treated the young queen dowager and the little emperor of Hou Zhou very well, and gave them iron coupons to avoid death. In the end, he did not assassinate them like the rulers of other dynasties; Secondly, he arranged for the princes and ministers of the Hou Zhou Dynasty very well. They did not massacre because of their opposition, and many people died. Thirdly, Zhao Kuangyin was called the most benevolent king in history. During his reign, there was almost no The wanton slaughter of heroes and courtiers appeared. It can be said that the Song Dynasty was a paradise for civil servants and generals, and it was a paradise for the people.
Zhao Kuangyin is the most filial person. After he became the emperor, he was obedient to the words of his mother, Empress Dowager Du. One of the most controversial things was the Golden Chamber Alliance. The Empress Dowager Du was a person who experienced the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. She witnessed the change of dynasties like a drama. In order to prevent such phenomena from recurring in her son, he asked Zhao Kuangyin to pass on the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi a hundred years later. Then Zhao Guangyi passed it on to the third son, Zhao Tingmei, and then to Zhao Kuangyin's eldest son, Zhao Dezhao.
I don’t know if Zhao Kuangyin is the mother of filial piety and does not want to disobey his mother, or he thinks his younger brother Zhao Guangyi is too strong. Even if he passes the throne to his son, Jiang Shan is probably not stable, so he agreed to his mother’s request and passed the throne to With his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, this is the controversial alliance of gold and gold in history.
On the evening of October 19, 976, Zhao Kuangyin, who had never liked drinking, sent his younger brother Zhao Guangyi to the palace alone. They talked around the furnace at night, drank wine, and chatted about childhood fun, which was very pleasant. At midnight, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and the colorful snow was very spectacular. Not long after, the heaven and the earth were covered in silver, all of which seemed to herald the coming of a bigger storm.
The next morning, an eunuch found out that Taizu Zhao Kuangyin had already become a guest. The chief eunuch Wang Jien did not obey the order of Empress Song, and went directly to the mansion of King Zhao Guangyi of Jin and announced that he had entered the palace and ascended the throne. Zhao Guangyi seemed to be prepared long ago and readily became the second emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Guangyi, who became the emperor, named his younger brother Ting Mei as Kaifeng Fu Yin, Zhong Shu Ling, and King Qi. On the surface, Zhao Guangyi seemed to train his younger brother Ting Mei so that he could take over as the emperor smoothly. it's not true.
One day in 982 AD, several important officials in the dynasty signed a letter to the emperor, saying that the king of Qi Zhao Tingmei was going to rebel, and the person who applied for the letter was not someone else, and they were all former officials of Zhao Guangyi when he was king of the Jin Dynasty. Soon, Zhao Tingmei was removed from the post of Kaifeng Fu Yin and sent to Luoyang. Most of the courtiers who had frequent contacts with him were also demoted.
Zhao Tingmei was demoted to Luoyang, Zhao Guangyi was still worried, and instructed his subordinates to continue to falsely accuse Ting Mei. Later, with the help of Prime Minister Zhao Pu, Ting Mei was finally demoted to the public of Fuling County, but he could not take office and was allowed to settle down in Fangzhou. Soon, Ting Mei died of illness, and a big rock in Zhao Guangyi's heart was considered to have fallen.
Zhao Kuangyin has two sons, one is Zhao Dezhao and the other is Zhao Defang. Zhao Kuangyin became the queen of the queen, Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, named him Jing Zhaoyin, served as a servant, and at the same time named him the king of martial arts.
In 979 AD, Zhao Dezhao followed Zhao Guangyi to the northern part of the Liao Kingdom. At the Gaoliang River station, the Song army was beaten by the Liao army and was defeated. Emperor Taizong also disappeared. No one knew whether it was alive or dead, so he generally coveted prosperity and wealth. The generals supported Zhao Dezhao as emperor.
may be young and ignorant, perhaps deep down in his heart that he should have been the emperor, Zhao Dezhao was appointed to the throne in the military camp and became the emperor. Who would have thought that the throne here hasn't warmed up yet, and Taizong has returned. Although he is very embarrassed, he still does not lose the emperor's majesty. Facing the farce, although he was very angry, Zhao Guangyi didn't say anything. Maybe he didn't know how to reprimand Zhao Dezhao, because the position of the emperor should have been his.
Once, in order to stabilize the army, Zhao Dezhao went to Zhao Guangyi's tent to ask for rewards for those who have done meritorious services, but who would have touched Taizong's negative scales, the anger that had been held in his heart burst out for a few days.
Zhao Dezhao has never received such reprimands. He silently returned to his residence, thinking of being trapped in the West Palace, no oneThe free mother, thinking of the younger brother who has never changed, thinking of his heroic father, thinking of the hideous uncle just now, he suddenly sprouted a terrible idea, and immediately put it into action, he killed himself with a fruit knife. To find the father, Zhao Kuangyin, complained.
Shortly after Zhao Dezhao's death, his brother Zhao Defang also died inexplicably. At this point, there are no people who can threaten Zhao Guangyi's throne, and he can confidently pass the position of the emperor to his descendants. In 997, Zhao Guangyi passed the throne to his son Zhao Heng.
In 1127, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was broken by the Golden Army. Not only did the Emperor Hui and Qin be escorted to the Northern Kingdom, but also more than 3,000 people including imperial concubines, princesses, and clan relatives were sent to the Golden Kingdom. Along the way, the humiliation they suffered was too numerous to describe, and it was beyond people's ability to bear it. Many women in the court accountants committed suicide.
At that time, the only emperor of the royal family was Zhao Gou, the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. Who knew that he was on the way to flee, because he was frightened and lost his fertility, so Zhao Guangyi's line ended. At that time, for the continuation of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou had no choice but to choose a person from his clan to be the emperor. This person was the eighth grandson of Emperor Taizu. After more than one hundred years of rotation, the great Song Dynasty finally returned to the hands of the descendants of the great ancestor Zhao Kuangyin.
God is not a substitute, retribution is unhappy!
