I will never be Renzong

Chapter 7 The Alliance of the Golden Chamber
"System! Who do you think is trying to murder me?"

Zhao Zhen asked the system in his mind.

"The host needs to find it by himself! This system can't help!"

It took a long time for the system to say this.

Then I want you to be useless, Zhao Xin despised the system in his heart.

It seems that I have to analyze it myself!

First of all, the closest people around me are Liu E and Concubine Yang Shu. The possibility of Liu E poisoning herself is very small, because the reason why Liu E has come to this day is because of his son, so it is too late for Liu E to protect him. How could he harm him?
Whether Liu E treats her well or not, Zhao Zhen couldn't be more clear after living in the harem for a year.

Although Liu E is very strict with him, he can be said to be meticulous in taking care of him in life. He is often troubled by wind and phlegm, so Liu E ordered him not to eat seafood. I like to eat seafood.

Zhao Zhen knew that Liu E was doing it for his own good, but the meat food in the Northern Song Dynasty was mainly mutton.Although Zhao Zhen often went to restaurants to cook mutton in his previous life, when he came to the Northern Song Dynasty and ate it every day, he had long since become tired of it.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, pork was not allowed on the table, and the slaughter of cattle was prohibited. The law of the Northern Song Dynasty stipulated that if any thieves kill officials' horses and cattle and travel three thousand miles, three horses will be pardoned to neighboring states, and their camels, mules, and donkeys will be pardoned. It can be seen that the punishment for those who kill cattle is very strict.

Of course, there are occasional cows that are injured, broken their legs, etc., and they can open their teeth, but they are a minority after all. At least Zhao Zhen only ate beef once in the year he traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty.

The suspicion of Liu E can be ruled out, and the suspicion of Concubine Yang Shu can also be ruled out, because if Liu E is a strict father, then Concubine Yang Shu is a loving mother.

He eats mutton every day and cannot eat seafood, so Zhao Zhen dislikes everyone and puts on a face every day. Fortunately, Concubine Yang Shu loves him, and often calls Zhao Zhen to her palace while Liu E is away, and gives him a small stove.

Concubine Yang Shu had a good relationship with Liu E. When Liu E was just a court maid in the early years, Concubine Yang Shu showed her affection to Liu E. The two agreed that no matter who gave birth to a son, they would raise them together.

So when Liu E was promoted to concubine, Concubine Yang Shu was also promoted. After Zhao Zhen was born, Song Zhenzong taught Zhao Zhen to be raised by Liu E and Yang together.This is also the origin of Big Empress and Little Empress.

If it is said that Mrs. Yang secretly poisoned seafood to murder him, it is obviously a little unlikely. Mrs. Yang has no children, and she is not as strong and ambitious as Liu E, but a concubine as gentle as water. She feels like Zhao Zhen Like a kind mother.

Both Liu E and Yang's suspicions can be ruled out, and the court ministers obviously would not poison him, not even Ding Wei, the powerful minister, because Zhao Zhen was young and needed the Queen Mother Liu E to listen to politics behind the curtain.But in Ding Wei's eyes, although Liu E is strong, she is a woman after all, and she still needs to rely on him. If it is replaced by an older king, it is obviously not in the interests of powerful officials, so the powerful officials in the court have no reason Poison Zhao Zhen.

If the ministers and the harem are excluded, only the enemy country and the clan are left. If the enemy country wants to poison, it will definitely use a deadly poison.

In this case, only the clan is left!
Zhao Zhen analyzed it carefully, and nine out of ten the person who poisoned him was some prince from the old clan.

Song Taizong had nine sons. The eldest son went insane and the second son died suddenly. The throne fell to Song Zhenzong. Moreover, Song Zhenzong was not a direct descendant, but how could he inherit the throne?Yes, it depends on age.

Speaking of age, I have to talk about the brothers and sisters of the Song Dynasty.

In the second year of Jianlong (961 A.D.), the mother of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Empress Dowager Du, was critically ill, and Song Taizu was always by her side.Empress Dowager Du knew that her fate was not long, so she called Prime Minister Zhao Pu into the palace.

Empress Dowager Du asked Zhao Kuangyin: "Do you know why you can win the world?"

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to say in his heart, of course I did it step by step, but he couldn't say that in front of Empress Dowager Du.

Zhao Kuangyin then replied: "The reason why I win the world is all the celebrations of my ancestors and the Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Du shook her head and said: "Otherwise, the reason why you won the world is because Zhou Shizong let the children rule the world! If the Zhou family had an elder king, would the world belong to you? After your death, it will be passed on to your younger brother. The four seas are as far as the vastness, and it is a blessing for the country to be able to establish a long ruler!"

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly replied: "Dare to teach!"

Empress Dowager Du was still worried, so she turned around and said to Zhao Pu, "You remember my words, and you can't break them."

It is convenient for Zhao Pu to write the affidavit before bed, and Pu writes "Chen Pu Shu" at the end of the paper.Hidden in the golden chamber, ordered the cautious palace people to hold it. "

Later generations called it "The Alliance of the Golden Chamber!"

Throughout history, whether it is the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, the reason for their demise is not unrelated to the emperor's youth.The reason why Emperor Wen Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was able to establish the Sui Dynasty was not unrelated to the succession of the young master of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

In history, whenever the new monarch is young, his relatives are often monopolizing the power, or the auxiliary ministers are in power, or the generals are in trouble. Soon, the country may change its master.

Since ancient times, the throne of the emperor has been succeeded by the death of the father and the son. Empress Dowager Du drew lessons from the lessons learned from the demise of the Zhou Dynasty. She believed that the reason why the country was replaced was that there was no emperor in power. It is not unreasonable to look at it this way. .

If the Golden Chamber Alliance is true, it would provide legitimacy for Zhao Guangyi's succession to the throne, so even if the subsequent sound of the ax and candle shadow is true, it seems to be no surprise.

When Song Taizong succeeded to the throne, Song Taizu's second son Zhao Dezhao was 25 years old, and Song Taizong was 37 years old.

Could it be that in the eyes of Empress Dowager Du, 25 years old is not considered the head of the country?

But in any case, no matter whether it is an aboveboard succession or forcing the palace, the throne will eventually be in the hands of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

Therefore, on the bright side, Song Taizu followed the alliance of the golden chamber and passed the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, which is enough to be passed on as a good talk.

If Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi could continue to follow the Golden Chamber Alliance and pass the throne to Song Taizu's second son Zhao Dezhao after his death, then it must be another good story.

But Song Taizong regretted it and wanted to pass on the throne to his son, so he began to trouble Zhao Dezhao frequently, so that Zhao Dezhao finally committed suicide to apologize.

But by coincidence, Song Taizong's most valued eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo, saw his father so disregarding brotherhood, and became mentally disturbed for a while and went crazy.

Naturally, a crazy person cannot inherit the throne. At this time, Zhao Defang, the third son of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, became a suitable candidate. So there is no need to say that Zhao Defang also died of illness two years after Zhao Dezhao's death. He was only 22 years old.

Song Taizu's sons are all dead, even if Song Taizong wants to follow the agreement of the Golden Chamber Alliance, there is no one to choose.
