Zhao Kuangyin (927---976), the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, served as the former inspector of the Later Zhou Dynasty and was proclaimed emperor in the "Chen Qiao Mutiny" in 960, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. Looking at the emperors of china's dynasties, all of them can become emperors through struggle. After Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, although his achievements in politics were not among the best. But he didn't get very hurt. However, overnight, Zhao Kuangyin died, followed by Zhao Guangyi's ascension to the throne, and from the perspective of vested interests, the statement of the axe sound of the candle shadow is more convincing. Solving the problem of interpreting mercenaries since the Tang Dynasty, the war-torn people can finally live in peace and stability, Zhao Kuangyin was emperor for 16 years, he died, and before he died, he passed the throne to his brother Zhao Guangyi.
Empress Song was born into a noble and famous family, and was the daughter of the Wei general and the Zhongwu Army's jiedushi Song Wei, and her mother was Princess Yongning of the Later Han Dynasty. The "History of Song" called it "modern and noble, and there are few comparisons". He invited his brother to the palace for dinner, and by the way let him stay in the palace to discuss, the next morning was found dead, and did not leave a will before his death, according to the theory, this throne should be Zhao Kuangyin's son, but it was taken by Zhao Guangyi. In 968, the Song clan was incorporated into the harem and made empress at the age of 17. Although Zhao Kuangyin is 25 years older than her, the two get along very harmoniously. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin also had a son, and passed the throne not to his son but to his brother, which is indeed rare in the history of our country.
They were Empress Xiaohui of the He clan, Empress Xiaoming of the Wang clan, and Empress Xiaozhang of the Song clan. In 968, the 17-year-old Song married Zhao Kuangyin and was crowned empress. Zhao Kuangyin was exactly 25 years older than The Song Family. According to relevant historical records, the night before Zhao Kuangyin's death, he once summoned Zhao Guangyi, who was then the King of Jin, into the palace. And in the evening, the King of Jin left the palace. The first thing he informed was Zhao Guangyi, and when the empress saw Zhao Guangyi enter the palace, she knew that the general trend had gone, so she put on a look of grief and helplessness, wanting to win Zhao Guangyi's sympathy, and letting him let him let himself have a life path that was tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, although she was an empress, she was inevitably panicked and chaotic. However, Zhao Guangyi's guarantee of "jointly protecting wealth and no worries" gave her a reassuring pill Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne as emperor. In the second year of The song emperor Zhao Guangyi's succession to the throne, Zhao Guangyi, the "Kaibao Empress", let her move to the West Palace, and later under the persecution of Zhao Guangyi, the Song clan moved to the East Palace, and the life was quite miserable.

After Zhao Guangyi became emperor, he treated his empress sister-in-law very shamefully. And his subsequent behavior is also demeaned by posterity. Because of the special relationship between Empress Song and Zhao Guangyi, Empress Song was named Empress Kaibao by Zhao Guangyi. In 977, the year after Zhao Kuangyin's death, Zhao Guangyi ordered Empress Song to move to the Western Palace. In 987, Empress Song was ordered to move to the Eastern Palace. After living in this miserable deep palace for 20 years, he did not allow the ministers of the dprk to be mourned, and what was even stranger was that he did not even allow the empress's coffin to enter the mausoleum of his brother Zhao Kuangyin, and when he was buried, he did not bury her in accordance with the etiquette that the empress should have, and Zhao Guangyi neither buried her according to the funeral specifications of the empress or empress, nor did he allow the courtiers to participate in the funeral; again, Zhao Guangyi did not allow Empress Song and Zhao Kuangyin to be buried together, nor did he allow her tablet to be placed in the Zongmiao Temple.
After the death of the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine could not be respected After the death of Empress Song, Zhao Guangyi not only did not serve the imperial concubine himself, but also ordered that the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu should not be allowed to serve the funeral. Moreover, Zhao Guangyi did not allow this imperial concubine to be buried with his brother Zhao Kuangyin, nor did he allow the Song family's god main card to enter the Taimiao Temple of the Song Dynasty royal family. However, when dealing with Empress Song's mother and son, Zhao Guangyi did not pay any attention to it. Even after Empress Song's death, Zhao Guangyi only quietly buried Empress Song. Zhao Guangyi did not even wear filial piety. Later, some officials in the imperial court pointed out that Zhao Guangyi's approach was inappropriate. Zhao Guangyi's various acts of petulance made people think that they were related to the "sound of the axe of candle shadows", which deepened the suspicion of the world about his usurpation. Although there is no definitive statement so far, most people consider him to be ungrateful. Blocked by Zhao Guangyi, his indifference to Empress Song could be understood. I think that no emperor can have any good feelings for such an imperial concubine, and it would be good to let an emperor live in peace and stability until the end.
