Nowadays, people pay attention to "preferring to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail", but in ancient times it was the same, especially in official and eunuch occasions. Just as the so-called "soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers", when they see people with high authority, I believe that everyone is ambitious.
As we all know in ancient times, only the emperor had a high position of power, not only could one person be above ten thousand people, but also what he could ask for, which was also the dream of many men. It is not difficult to see that in order to compete for the throne, he did not hesitate to kill his brothers and sisters and kill his father to seize the throne.
No matter what kind of person, he knows that the one who has the throne wins the world, and only if he can have such power can he invite it to linger. It has to be said that power has a great temptation for anyone.
However, not everyone has the opportunity to "reach" the throne, in addition to strategy and ambition, sometimes fate is also very important. "Fate sometimes has to have it, and fate must not be forced at any time", so it can be seen that opportunity is also part of success. However, if you want to say that the emperor with good luck is Zhao Heng, the True Emperor of Song.
Dynasties from ancient times to the present day represent the rise and fall of prosperity and decline, and many countries in ancient times eventually perished due to cholera. However, the Song Dynasty was different, and its technology became the peak of ancient science and technology.
It can be seen that the Song Dynasty was unparalleled in economic terms, and those who know history know that the coal use and steel production of that era belonged to the world's highest. In addition to the economy, foreign trade is also very developed, shipbuilding industry, porcelain industry is famous all over the world.
People who know history know that Zhao Heng was very lucky to become emperor, he was the son of Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, and it is recorded that Zhao Heng was sent to the palace to be raised when he was a child. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was very fond of him, so much so that he was very naughty and often drilled in the palace.
Once Zhao Heng actually ran to the main hall to play, taking advantage of people's inattention to sit directly on the dragon chair to play. This scene happened to be seen by Zhao Kuangyin, who should know that sitting on the dragon chair indiscriminately is a capital offense, but Zhao Kuangyin not only did not get angry after seeing it, but also asked Zhao Heng: "Is the son of heaven good?" ”
Zhao Heng did not answer positively after listening to it, but said the four words "resigned to fate", which made Zhao Kuangyin laugh after listening to it, so he also saved his life.
A few years later, Zhao Kuangyin passed away, and was succeeded by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, who passed the throne to his son. However, Zhao Heng was his third son, and it was reasonable to say that there was no possibility of succession. For Zhao Guangyi, his most important is his eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo. This child was clever and capable from an early age, not only good at riding and shooting, but also went to the north with Song Taizong to fight, and was favored by everyone. However, because of his sympathy for Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin, he went mad due to illness and eventually became a shuren.
Zhao Guangyi's second son, Zhao Yuanyi, was made the Prince of Guangping Commandery in the seventh year of the Taiping Revival. The following year, he was enthroned as King of Chen. During the Yongxi period, he served as Kaifeng Yin and Shizhong (侍中), entered the title of King of Xu, and added Zhongshu Ling (加中書令). Zhao Yuanyi was calm and cautious, deeply loved by Zhao Guangyi, and most likely to become the crown prince, but once he was unwell and died soon after, only 27 years old.
In the end, the throne naturally fell on Zhao Heng, and he eventually ascended the throne to become emperor. I have to say that if it were not for the accident of the two brothers, he would not have been able to succeed to the throne smoothly. After he became emperor, he also had meritorious deeds and deeds, and during his reign, the Northern Song Dynasty was strong and perfect, not only economically prosperous but also made the country prosperous.
However, in foreign policy, he had a weak heart, and his will was not firm, but because he was afraid of the Liao state, he eventually gave up and established an alliance with Tanyuan.
It can be seen that becoming an emperor is not only lucky, but also what he really has superiority, but if he cannot be convinced, he will not be able to win the hearts and minds of the people in the end.
