Why did the descendants of Zhao Kuangyi give the throne to the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin? The story behind is too amazing

Yin and Yang are reversed, the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyi in the Northern Song Dynasty. What are these brothers doing?

The inheritance of the throne is a very serious matter. In feudal dynasties, only father and son inherited. The succession of brothers or princes must have taken place in a coup or the emperor has no children. Only when such extreme conditions are met, the emperor agrees to the succession of others. However, the Song Dynasty is a very strange dynasty. Staggering and funny things, thinking about it makes people laugh.

Zhao Kuangyin established the Northern Song Dynasty, but the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi and his descendants;

The first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was the descendant of Zhao Kuangyi, but all emperors after that were descendants of his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

In the absence of a coup, why did such a wonderful thing happen? First look back at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin succeeded in taking down the country. He had already decided to inherit from his descendants. As a result, his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi coveted the throne, and then murdered Zhao Kuangyin. Can be the default. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's son became the abandoned prince, and Zhao Kuangyi sat firmly in the country.

Zhao Kuangyin rebelled against the old masters of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyi poisoned alcohol against his brother Taizu, and the opening of the dynasty was two gorgeous rebellions, which seemed to announce the precariousness of the Song Dynasty, plus the ancients advocated the superstition of fate , So the controversy over the Song Dynasty has always existed among the people.

Too many lice are also ticklish

Although the Song Dynasty is a behemoth, folk rumors are only biting lice, but too many lice are also ticklish, Zhao Kuangyi's The children and grandchildren have been stigmatized for being betrayed by their rebellious brothers and brothers, and then feel very sad. They always treat Zhao Kuangyin's children and grandchildren with high officials. After the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed and the Southern Song Dynasty was established, this problem became more serious. The descendants of Zhao Kuangyi even believed that the murder of his younger brother was unknown, which caused the ups and downs of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou was the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. This person was also the last descendant of Zhao Kuangyi. Although this guy was successful in restoring the country, he still had roots in his heart. In the end he made a difficult decision. Zhao Kuangyin was still in Zhao Kuangyin, first he felt at ease, and secondly he felt that this would preserve the orthodoxy and long-term of the Song Dynasty. So since Zhao Gou, all the Southern Song emperors are descendants of Zhao Kuangyin. After Zhao Kuangyi, who had finally succeeded in rebelling, learned about it, he vomited three liters of blood.

The Southern Song Dynasty was once prosperous, but there was no ZTE

Zhao Gou also felt at ease for himself, but the descendants were quite upset. Of course this is not the key, the key is Did the Southern Song Dynasty really stand up compared to the Northern Song Dynasty? Did the Southern Song Dynasty succeed in ZTE as Zhao Gou wanted?

The answer is no. Although the Southern Song Dynasty has produced top literati such as Su Shi and top celebrities such as Yue Fei, they are second to none in terms of economic prosperity, but in general they are extremely difficult to fight against the Jinren and the Mongolians. Bowing their heads to pay tribute to the great powers, and many emperors were captured and taken prisoners, it can be described as an extremely miserable dynasty.

So, it seems that I believe that Zhao Kuangyin's descendants can restore the country's strange power and chaos, and it has no practical effect. The poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty have penetrated into the bones, and it is impossible to save it if it is not a major reform, but the Song Dynasty is unwilling to break the muscles and bones, so it is not qualified to break and stand.

war and peace

Generally speaking, the Han people are still lovers of peace, and the Song Dynasty carried out the word peace to the extreme, so you can avoid fighting as much as possible. Fighting, saying that the ministers pay tribute is nothing, but I don't know that in such troubled times, hard fists are the last word.

Therefore, the Han and Tang dynasties who were able to conquer good battles were praised by countless people. Although the Song Dynasty reached the peak of Han culture, economy and population, the people once came to the era of Great Harmony. Six of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties were from the Song Dynasty. Because military capabilities are too weak, few people truly approve of the Song Dynasty today.
