Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

"What does Mr. Wu Chen mean by this last sentence?"

"Is there any story between Zhao Kuangyin and his brother?"

Li Shimin was busy transcribing Zhao Kuangyin's series of reforms, when he suddenly saw the video paused, he couldn't help wondering: "Could it be that Zhao Kuangyin's throne will be taken by his younger brother?"

"It's probably another good court bloody case, but I like this tone very much." Dong Zhuo glanced at the video inventory, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let the storm come more violently."

In the Plane Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who had just been dressed in a yellow robe, looked at this inventory, and couldn't help being stunned. He looked at his younger brother next to him suspiciously: "What are you thinking in your heart?"

Zhao Guangyi smiled awkwardly: "Brother, what can I think, this may just be the foreshadowing of Wu Chen's inventory."

Zhao Kuangyin looked up: the huge brilliance floating on the sky mirror:
On the night of October [-]th in the ninth year of Song Kaibao, Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty, was seriously ill in bed, and invited Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi to the palace to discuss important matters.

There were only two brothers left in the hall, and no one knew exactly what the two discussed.

But someone saw from a distance that under the candlelight, King Jin sometimes left the table and sometimes sat down.

Zhao Kuangyin's voice was so angry that he could take care of himself in the future.

In the early hours of the second day, the death knell suddenly sounded in the palace, and Zhao Kuangyin, the founding king of the Song Dynasty, died.

He died strangely.

When the palace announced the successor according to the will, the candidate shocked everyone.

The successor was not the son of Emperor Song, but Zhao Guangyi, the younger brother of Emperor Song.

As soon as the news came out, Zhao Kuangyin's sons were taken aback, and the ministers were even more shocked.

As for King Jin, he was ready to be emperor at this time.

In fact, according to the system handed down from the ancestors, the position of the emperor is of course inherited from father to son.

Even if he has no children, he should adopt one from the clan to inherit the throne.

Therefore, the heir to the throne should not be placed on Zhao Guangyi's head no matter what.

So why is it the younger brother of Emperor Song who succeeds to the throne?
There is such an explanation in the history books:
The Empress Dowager Du of the Song Dynasty suddenly became seriously ill, and Zhao Kuangyin asked herself to be her mother's attendant.

Before Empress Dowager Du died of illness, she told Zhao Kuangyin to pass on the throne to her younger brother, and wrote down the imperial edict.

That is to say, this imperial edict for the succession of the throne left an aboveboard reason for Zhao Guangyi's succession.

This history book is a bit fucked up.

This simply highlights Zhao Kuangyin's filial piety and at the same time lays a good foundation for Zhao Guangyi's ascension to the throne.

But what is the truth?Is there any doubt here?
Doubtful point [-]. The old lady is seriously ill. As a king, why did Zhao Kuangyin abandon the government and guard the old lady every step of the way?
Even if the old lady is seriously ill, is there no one around the emperor?Do you have to ask the emperor to leave everything behind and wait on him day and night?

Doubt [-]: Why did the old lady ask Zhao Kuangyin to pass the throne to her younger brother?

No matter how confused the old lady is, she knows that the world affairs in this country are not child's play. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Zhao Kuangyin agreed on the surface, he can breach the contract in private. At that time, the breach of contract was not breach of contract. Jin, besides, an emperor does not pass the throne to his own children, but to his brothers. After this matter is known, the ministers will fight hard and risk their lives to see it.

Although the Song Dynasty was a little cowardly, there was no shortage of tough ministers in the court.

If this imperial edict had been known in advance, then the ministers would not have been able to argue with reason.

Besides, the emperor was critically ill, and his edict should have been placed in the hands of Minister Gu Ming or the most trusted person. For Zhao Kuangyin, the most trusted person would naturally not be Zhao Guangyi.

Because it is recorded in the history books, there is a lot of rift between the two brothers.

As the founding king of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin often had to fight abroad, and it was Zhao Guangyi who took care of many things for him in the base camp.

Fundamentally speaking, Zhao Kuangyin is still an emperor whose force is greater than martial arts.

This means that winning the world immediately does not mean governing the world immediately.

Instead, it was King Jin who stayed in the capital all the time.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. While his brother was out fighting, King Jin may have already secretly formed his own forces in the capital.After all, which of the two is more important, the prince or the emperor, everyone can weigh it.

So, when his elder brother was fighting abroad, as a prince, he helped him deal with some things. Slowly, King Jin also had his own foundation and power.

After Zhao Kuangyin came back, he found that his younger brother was so powerful, so he wanted to weaken his younger brother's power. After all, the power of the prince is not good for the rule.

But it was too late for Zhao Kuangyin to find out, and the intricate relationship between the court and China made him overwhelmed.

Otherwise, the capital should be moved to a safer place.

Moving the capital is also a good way to kill two birds with one stone. First, it can change to a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and second, it can also weaken the younger brother's power.

Zhao Kuangyin is still very far-sighted, after all, Kaifeng City is really not safe here.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi proposed to move the capital, but this idea was refuted by his younger brother as soon as he proposed it.

Therefore, he refuted Zhao Kuangyin with "morality".If the king governs the country properly, how can he attract powerful enemies? Only when "virtue" governs the world can the country maintain prosperity and foreign enemies voluntarily surrender.

This is simply a second statement.

But this statement made Zhao Kuangyin unable to refute it.

Seeing that all plans failed, Zhao Kuangyin, as a king, had no choice but to let his prestige far surpass that of his younger brother.

He thought of the Northern Expedition, but he couldn't improve his prestige with a single victory.

So he personally made a plan for the Northern Expedition, but God failed to fulfill his wishes. At this juncture, he fell seriously ill and died soon after.

So Zhao Guangyi became the second emperor of Song Dynasty.

Not long after he ascended the throne, he did not follow the ancestor's instructions to change the year name in the order of the throne. Does this prove that Zhao Guangyi has a guilty conscience?
Not only that, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's eldest son committed suicide in 979 AD, and his second son died in 981 AD for no reason.

After Zhao Guangyi inherited the throne, he persecuted his younger brother Zhao Tingmei more than once, causing his younger brother Zhao Tingmei to die in depression.

This incident all proved Zhao Guangyi's wolf ambition to seize the throne.

Even if the nine sons seized the throne in the Qing Dynasty, those who failed in the end would end up in depression or be imprisoned in their own mansion for the rest of their lives.

However, for the sake of the integrity and rigor of his own rule, Zhao Guangyi actually removed all threats.

This is just a bit of a taste of trying to cover up.
