The Supreme Emperor can be said to be a very embarrassing position in the Chinese dynasty. However, few people who become the ninth-five lord want to delegate power to become the Supreme Emperor. Power is more insatiable than poison. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was forced to become the Supreme Emperor by his powerful son Li Shimin. The actual power has been emptied. Qianlong was the emperor enough before giving him his son Jiaqing to succeed him. Although he became the Supreme Emperor, he still had power. Did not let go, always keep one eye closed. The founding king of Southern Song Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was different. He lived 81 years old and became the emperor at the age of 56. It was Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen who succeeded Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen. What is even more strange is that Zhao Shen is not Zhao Gou. His biological son is just his adopted son.
Many people use an afterthought Zhuge Liang's point of view to look at the issue of Zhao Goucao's abandonment, thinking that there must be hidden secrets behind his longevity. You must know that in the dynasty era, being an emperor was a high-risk occupation, and the average life span of hundreds of emperors was less than 40 years. Song Gaozong, who was nicknamed The Escape Emperor, died in nine deaths, and he was lucky to live to 56 years old. He should be considered very lucky. He didn't know that he could live to be more than 80 years old. So the reason why his old man gave up his position as the emperor was to spend his twilight years in peace, and he didn't want to worry about it anymore, which was understandable. This reason is a bit high-sounding, but it can be justified. In fact, Zhao Gou left the emperor and became the emperor, and his father Song Huizong had exactly the same idea, that is, he must never turn himself into the king of subjugation.
A year before Zhao Gou's abdication, Jin Guo in the north launched another massive war of aggression against the Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, the four generals of ZTE have already ended, and there are almost no famous generals in the Southern Song Army. The result was that the Golden Soldiers occupied the vast area north of the Yangtze River within a few months. Zhao Gou trembles as soon as the Jin Bing invades south! This time Zhao Gou was even more frightened. Before the enemy had crossed the Yangtze River, he ordered the prime minister to prepare a ship for him.Go to Fujian. The prime minister Chen Kangbo and Taiwei Yang Yizhong played the role of Zhao Gou's Kou Zhun, and tried to persuade the emperor that the top priority was to supervise the battle at the front instead of fleeing south. Zhao Gou hasn't Song Zhenzong that bold! Fortunately, this guy was lucky. A scholar Yu Yunwen actually defeated the Golden Soldier at Caishiji, and then the domestic turmoil in Jin, Hailing King was killed, and the Golden Soldier was defeated. . The Southern Song army took the opportunity to regain a lot of lost ground, and the situation suddenly improved. Zhao Gou also breathed a sigh of relief and did not flee south, but his fragile little heart could no longer withstand the next fright, so he decided to give way.
The previous Miao Liu Zhichang made Zhao Gou lose his fertility, and then his only son died at the age of 3 and his blood was severed. Zhao Gou can only choose his adopted son Zhao Shen to inherit Datong. Don't look at Zhao Gou's useless dealing with Jinren , but dealing with his own people, that is the ultimate calculation. He chose Zhao Shen, the seventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin , and he was full of calculations. After axe candle shadow , Song Taizong severed the root of Zhao Kuangyin's blood and inheritance. At this time, Zhao Shen was weak, lonely, and powerless. He can only be grateful to Zhao Gou, the supreme emperor, and will not pose a threat. After Jingkang’s shame, most of the royal family members such as Song Huizong Song Qinzong were taken into captivity to the north, and there will be no day to return to the south. However, Zhao Gou escaped a catastrophe Zhao Guangyi has more than 20 bloodlines. If an emperor chooses an heir from their children, it will inevitably cause civil strife and threaten his status as the emperor, so choosing Zhao Shen is the safest. Zhao Gou’s abacus was smashed, the survival of the country is secondary, and the protection of his own life is the most important!
