The first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, greedy for life and afraid of death, enjoyed glory and wealth, but why did he abdicate early
Speaking of the dynasties and generations in our country, this most prosperous is no more than the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful is not more than the Qin Dynasty, but the most nested emperor is no more than the Southern Song Dynasty, this most nested emperor, is Song Gaozong, for his own wealth and glory, to the people in the depths of the water, almost all of their own country is defeated, speaking of the Southern Song Dynasty, our biggest topic is to say Qin Juniper, Qin Juniper used conspiracy tricks and false reasons to kill Yue Fei, let Yue Fei be wrongfully killed, so that the entire Southern Song Dynasty almost disappeared. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was such a person, I think he is not innocent, but also very sinister.
This person is Song Gaozong Zhao Shuo, in Yue Fei's case so far, without his approval, without his acquiescence, how could Qin Juniper make up such a ridiculous reason, without Song Gaozong's acquiescence, how could Yue Fei be murdered by Qin Juniper, I think, in front of Yue Fei's grave, there is still less of Song Gaozong's existence, he is also the real culprit of Yue Fei's death.
However, it is such a person, but he lived to be more than eighty years old, is it rare in Chinese history to live to such an emperor with such a long life, is it really a scourge left behind for a thousand years, but because he is Song Gaozong, he is the emperor, his fault will let the historians bury, let the world remember the mastermind of Yue Fei's case, Qin Juniper, he stood behind the curtain, to be an emperor with a nest, this is the world's view of him.
Although Emperor Gaozong of Song lived to be more than eighty years old, he abdicated at the age of fifty-six and passed the emperor's throne to the then crown prince, later Song Xiaozong, but this emperor was not the biological son of Song Gaozong, but a descendant of Song Taizu, he had no own son, his son died when he was young, after the two emperors of the Song Dynasty were captured by the Jin people, and he himself had no sons, so Song Gaozong adopted Song Xiaozong and made him crown prince.
Then why did Emperor Gaozong of Song pass on the throne that he had so hard to keep to Song Xiaozong early? This is actually inseparable from the nature of Song Gaozong, why do you say so? This is because although Song Gaozong abdicated, the actual ruling power of the Song Dynasty was still in his hands, the Song Dynasty was in a period of ups and downs, Song Xiaozong first ascended to the throne, although Song Gaozong was not a good person, but he had been an emperor for many years, he could still stabilize the overall situation of the court, so that the entire imperial court would not be scattered, so from this point of view, he was still useful to this dynasty, and in this regard, he was not an emperor who lacked a name.
However, on the other hand, this behavior of his directly restricted the power of Song Xiaozong, in this Southern Song Dynasty, although he was the master of the entire dynasty and a righteous emperor, everyone said that they should first ask Song Gaozong to comment, and his decree was also issued with the consent of Song Gaozong, so Song Xiaozong was actually just a nominal emperor. That is, he can retire from the emperor's seat, blur out from the hatred of the people, reduce the hatred value of his body, and control the power of the country, and his early abdication can be said to have achieved the maximization of interests for him.
