In the end, he killed Yue Fei and his son on "unnecessary" charges, proclaimed his ministers and paid tribute to Jin, and lived in peace.

It can be seen that Zhao Gou at this time has long since lost the passion and ambition he had when he was 19 years old.

He has been defeated by reality, and has become a cowardly emperor who lives in peace!

The deep-seated reasons why passionate youths live in peace

After careful analysis, it is not difficult to find that such a big change in Zhao Gou is mainly due to the following two reasons!

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts.

It is well known that Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty, was born as a military general, and his ability to become emperor depends entirely on his military power.

Therefore, in order to prevent the subordinates from following the same example, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it tried every means to remove the military power of the generals and lower the status of the warriors.

And this kind of thinking, even at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, it still remained unchanged.

Song Qinzong's removal of Li Gang's military power is the best proof.

After Zhao Gou became emperor, the voice of fighting against the Jin army in the Southern Song Dynasty never stopped.

This allowed many generals to have their own armies, such as Yue Fei's "Yue Family Army".

And these armies are more admired and loved than the emperor.

Moreover, in the early days of Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne, he encountered Liu and Miao's mutiny, which frightened Zhao Gou a lot.

This made Zhao Gou the last thing he wanted to believe was generals.

Therefore, compared with restoring the homeland during the Northern Expedition, perhaps Zhao Gou should worry more about generals who support their own troops!

So in order to protect his imperial power, Zhao Gou became less passionate.

Even for the sake of power, he became insidious and cunning, and killed Zhongliang!

Indulging in ease of character

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty with a very prosperous economy.

At that time, the princes, nobles and common people lived a very happy life.

The epic records that the Song Dynasty gave Daliao hundreds of thousands of coins every year, but in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, this was just a drop in the bucket, far more cost-effective than fighting.

And such a prosperous society also makes everyone indulge in peace and enjoy wealth and honor.

As a royal family, Zhao Gou was even more affected by this atmosphere.

In the deepest part of his heart, he is more inclined to indulge in pleasure rather than gold and iron horses.

This point did not change until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and Zhao Gou ascended the throne.

Let's look at Zhao Gou's "Fisherman's Ci" written in the Southern Song Dynasty. ".

These verses have clearly shown that Zhao Gou still prefers a comfortable life deep in his heart.

Deep in Zhao Gou's heart, he has the nature of indulging in comfort and pleasure.

After he ascended the throne as the emperor, this kind of thought was revealed without any concealment.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of his youth has long since disappeared without a trace!

We can see that when Zhao Gou was young, he was not so much a passionate youth as he was young and indifferent.

Although he was neither humble nor overbearing in the Jinren barracks, after that time Zhao Gou had already felt the strength of the Jinren.

Then the general rebelled, which made him regard his ancestor's policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military affairs as the golden rule.

When Zhao Gou fully grasped the power, the corrupt thoughts of indulging in pleasure emerged in his heart again.

This eventually led to Zhao Gou being a different person in the eyes of future generations!

The video playback ends here.

The emperors of all dynasties, seeing this, expressed that they had something to say.

Great Qin.

"Obviously he could become the commander of ZTE, but in the end he became a generation of foolish emperors."

"But it can't be said that it is incomprehensible. Zhao Gou escaped with too many painful crimes. When a person suffers more than his psychological construction can bear, he will naturally become humble and wretched."

After Qin Shihuang Yingzheng watched the video, he said in a low voice.

Big man.

"Undoubtedly, a faint and mediocre king, a king without courage, no ambition, and no heirs, a sycophant who is rare in history."

"After the Jingkang Rebellion, he was not the emperor, and after taking over the power, he refused to let go of the power. He ceded the land and begged for peace, begged for mercy like a dog, and killed the general, just for a peace agreement."

"With a flawed personality and shadows in his heart, he doesn't trust anyone. Zhao Gou just wants to be a happy emperor in a corner, which really embarrasses the face of his ancestor Zhao Kuangyin."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che scolded loudly.

Datang.

"There has never been a division of opposition between the main war faction and the main peace faction, because there will be no fundamental contradiction between the true main peace faction and the main war faction. Only the surrender faction will truly stand on the opposite side of the main war faction!"

"Zhao Gou is a disgraceful capitulator. It is no exaggeration to call him a traitor or a national traitor."

Tang Taizong Li Shimin also reprimanded loudly.

Ming dynasty.

"He has merit in founding the country, he has a part in resisting him, he is incompetent in restoration, and he is guilty of persecuting him."

"Despicable politician, brilliant careerist, incompetent military strategist."

"If you serve the people, you are a traitor, if you are a minister, you are a sycophant, and if you are a king, you are a traitor."

"It is better than seeking politics, but shorter than planning the country. It is better than governing power, but shorter than governing soldiers."

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

Great Song.

"You don't understand my suffering."

"You don't even know how powerful Jin Guo is."
