Wen 丨 Emperor Epic Li (article original, copyright I own, welcome to forward and share)
The Chen Qiao Incident occurred in 960 AD, when Zhao Kuangyin easily and effortlessly captured the Later Zhou Dynasty and established the Northern Song Dynasty. But how did Zhao Kuangyin deal with Chai Rong's family after Emperor Shizong of Zhou? This has become a big problem.
Emperor Chai Rong of Zhou gave birth to seven sons in his lifetime, the eldest son was named Chai Zongyi, the second son was named Chai Zongcheng, and the third son was named Chai Zongcheng, all three sons were killed by The Later Han Emperor Liu Chengyou during Chai Rong's lifetime, and they were posthumously honored as King Yue, King Wu, and King of Han respectively. Of course, these are also a direct reason why Guo Wei and Chai Rong and others began to rebel.
According to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, did not do anything to Chai Rong's descendants, but was very tolerant of Chai Rong's descendants. After Chai Rong's first three sons were unfortunately killed by Liu Chengyou of the Later Han Dynasty, when Zhao Kuangyin claimed the title of emperor, he demoted his fourth son, Chai Zongxun, to the position of King of Zheng, but died at a young age of only twenty years. Chai Rong's descendant Chai Xi Rang mysteriously disappeared for some reason, and the last 2 remaining sons were Chai XiJin and Chai Xi Jie.
Zhao Kuangyin asked his cronies how to deal with the remaining two children, and then someone proposed to cut the grass and remove the roots. But Pan Mei said, "The first emperor brought Wu En as heavy as a mountain, if such an act is different from others?" But we do not obey, for this is a deception. How can future generations retain their good names in order to promote future generations?" Zhao Kuangyin then adopted them as his righteous sons. The seventh child was also given an official position.
The cause of death of Chai Rong's son Chai Zongxun is not only briefly recorded in some of our canonical histories, but also in some wild history books. Many people believe that The Zhou Gong Emperor Chai Zongxun was poisoned by Zhao Guangyi. There is also a theory of avoiding disasters, that is, Chai Zongxun deliberately ran to the Fujian region in order to avoid disasters, and changed his name to "Lin". No matter how many theories in the wild history can not change the fact that Zhao Kuangyin treated the descendants of Later Zhou Chairong gently.
