In people's minds, Song Gaozong Zhao, like Qin Jun, was not a good thing. A king is a gentleman, and a subject is a courtier. The reason for this impression is that because their monarchs and courtiers joined forces to kill the patriotic hero Yue Fei, the great loyal minister. Yue Fei's death, the world wept, until now, people can not lift the hatred, on the shore of The West Lake, Qin Juniper and other traitors are still kneeling in front of Yue Fei's statue. Because Emperor Gaozong of Song was emperor and was secretive to His Holiness, he did not kneel by the West Lake like Qin Juniper.
After the Jing Kang Revolution, the Song Dynasty experienced great turmoil, and almost all the people of the Northern Song imperial family were captured in the north, and Emperor Gaozong of Song established the Southern Song Dynasty. It may be for this reason that Emperor Gaozong's boldness has become very small, he cannot withstand the fright, and he has always wanted a stable life and does not think of the great conflict.
Zhao Was originally fertile and had a large number of children with his wife and concubines: several daughters and a son. However, after being frightened by Jin Bing, he never had any more children.
Unfortunately, several of Zhao Shuo's daughters were all taken captive to the Jin Kingdom during the "Shame of Jingkang" and never returned.
At the same time, there was also an unborn child who was abducted, that is, the child he and the original concubine Xing were pregnant with, but this child was miscarried before he was born (caused by jin bing abuse), so the gender was not known.
The only boy left was born after he ascended the throne in Yingtianfu in Nanjing, and his name was Zhao Xu.
However, when this Zhao Xu was more than 2 years old, he was scared to death because of a fright. Since then, Zhao Shuo has been the last to come.
For a time, the Crown Prince was empty. The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and if the crown prince is not established, the government and the opposition will not be stable.
The emperor was really a hard worker, working hard all his life, and before he died, he had to choose a competent heir. If this work is not done well, it will be condemned by future generations. This is the case with Kangxi, this old man's lifelong Wenzhi martial arts are very strong, because the problem of heirs has been seen as a joke by later generations, and said that this is the only stain on his life.
So how do emperors choose heirs? Let's see what Zhao Zhuo does.
Due to the premature death of Zhao Shuo's only son, the heir issue became a big problem. Originally, 'Father dies and son succeeds' is a matter of course, but it is really not possible to do it, "brother and brother". But Zhao Shuo had no children and no brothers, and he really couldn't find anyone to inherit the throne.
In desperation, some people said to find it from Taizu's heirs, and Zhao could only think like this when he thought about it. So he began to look for Zhao Kuangyin's descendants, at this time it had been nine generations since Zhao Kuangyin was emperor, and his descendants had long been scattered everywhere, but because of this, they had not been captured by the Jin army, so Zhao Zhuo ordered people to go around to find out the whereabouts of these distant relatives.
Zhao Shuo visited the Sect to find relatives in the descendants of Taizu, "Bo", at this time, the number of people in the "Bo" generation had reached 1,645, he first selected ten children under the age of seven, and then examined them one by one, and finally only two children were left, this fat child was Bo Jiu (later renamed Zhao Xuan), and the thin child was Bo Xuan (later renamed Zhao Xuan).
After a rough review, Zhao Zhuo decided to "leave fat and thin", and rewarded Bo Chun with three hundred and two pieces of silver and then repatriated to the same place, when Bo Chun just wanted to hold the silver out of the house, Zhao Shuo said that he had not yet looked carefully, let him and the two of them presented with their hands together, and he stood aside and repeatedly pondered and compared.
Suddenly, a cat passed by the two of them, and Bo Jiu stood still, but Bo Jiu flew up and kicked at the cat, and Zhao Zhuo said unhappily, "''How can you take on the heavy responsibility of social welfare with such a frivolous frenzy!'" In order to have a choice in the future, the two were raised in the palace as candidates.
Of course, things were not so simple, Emperor Zhao Zhuo was less than thirty years old, and he was still sparing no effort to find a cure. If Zhao Huo regains his fertility, Zhao Xiao will also be sent away. The problem was that Zhao Zhuo's disease had not been cured, so he began to slowly give Zhao Xuan a proper name and add officials to the knighthood. Bo Chun was knighted as the King of Pu'an County, and Bo Jiu was also made the King of Enping County.
With a candidate, the ministers were not in a hurry, and as for who to choose, it was all up to Zhao Zhuo. Zhao Zhuo is not biased towards the two children, the same love for the same growth path, father and son three people have lived together for more than twenty years, the two children gradually grew into people with different personalities and different values. Zhao Min was smart in life and also quite a city government, and he was not accustomed to Qin Juniper's arbitrariness, but he never showed it. Zhao Zhen was more well-behaved and was deeply favored by Empress Wei. Zhao Zhuo was also indecisive and hesitant in the face of two equally excellent children.
The talents of these two people can be said to be comparable, and Zhao Zhuo hesitated for a moment, and it was difficult to decide who to appoint as his heir. In order to test the two, Zhao Shuo decided to use the "virgin" to choose the prince, so he gave them ten palace women each, and after a period of time, Zhao Zhuo recalled the palace women and checked the results one by one.
None of the ten who were given to Bo Jiu were broken, and the ten who were given to Bo Jiu had been broken by him and not as virgins. Zhao Zhuo did not tell others about this matter, but he knew in his heart which was better or worse. It turned out that Bo Chun was not originally a lustful person, and life in the palace was still rigorous, coupled with his teacher Shi Hao's advance warning him to be cautious and undergo tests, so that Bo Chun easily defeated Bo Jiu.
Zhao Zhuo changed his name to Zhao Wei twice, first zhao wei, and in 1160, he changed to Zhao Wei.
In the thirtieth year of Shaoxing, Zhao Shuo declared Li Boqun as the crown prince, made him the king of Jian, and after issuing an edict to the world, he determined that Bo Jiu was the emperor's nephew, and the heir to the throne was established. In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing, Zhao Zhuo officially made Bo Qun the crown prince and performed the ritual of the gods in the Zichen Hall. However, Zhao Yun still refused to accept it, and retreated to the side door on the side of the main hall, wanting to return to the East Palace. After Zhao Zhao's repeated exhortations, Zhao Xuan agreed.
Why did Zhao Zhuo take the Zen position at this time?
It turned out that since he took the throne, he had experienced too much turbulent and displaced life, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and he had long wanted to live some leisure days as emperor Taishang, during this time, the Jin people repeatedly invaded, he led troops to personally conscript unfavorable, the two Huai were lost, and the courtiers were afraid of the enemy like a tiger. Rushing to propose a strategy to retreat, Zhao Wei was young and vigorous, hated Qin Juniper's monopoly and traitor, and was serving in the army with Zhao Shuo, and was also familiar with the Chinese and generals in the army. Zhao Zhuo said that he did not dare to resist Jin, and he could not continue to implement the policy of surrender, so he was in a dilemma, so he had to throw the burden of this imperial court to Zhao Xuan.
At the time of the inner Zen ceremony, the hundred officials of the civil and military forces gathered under the door of the temple, read the edict of the Zen throne, and entered the Purple Palace according to the level of the official rank to welcome the crown prince to the throne. After a while, Zhao Wei dressed in imperial clothes, from the internal attendant Fuye came to the throne, but he did not sit on his side, and only sat down slightly after seven or eight times of support, and the prime minister led the hundred officials to congratulate him, and Zhao Wei suddenly jumped up from his seat and said sadly: "'The order of the emperor's father is too arbitrary, this heavenly son does not dare to do anything, or allow me to retreat!'" Of course, the Qunchen did not follow, and it was another bitter persuasion, and after Zhao Wei repeatedly resigned, he had to obey the request and tell him to succeed to the throne for Song Xiaozong.
The enthronement ceremony had just ended, and Emperor Xiaozong put on a dragon robe and a jade belt, walked out of the Zen Xi Hall, and sent him back to the palace, until he refused to stop at the palace gate, Zhao Zhuo repeatedly thanked him, and he stopped. Zhao Zhuo was happy and said, "I have entrusted a person who is properly entrusted, and I can say that I have no regrets."
