King Wuling of Zhao, as the only man who could break his wrist with the Qin State at the end of the Warring States period, was eventually trapped in the dune palace and starved to death, and no one came to the rescue, for the simple reason that one word - do.
The famous "Hufu Riding Shooting" in history was made by this King Wuling of Zhao, and Zhao Yongxiong, the King of Zhao Wuling, was able to unify a zhao kingdom that was about to split again, but in his later years, he made a series of tricks, almost making the zhao kingdom split again.
All this starts with a woman.
Sixteen years after King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao Yong had a dream in which a beautiful woman appeared, and Zhao Yong fell in love with this beautiful woman at first sight.
After waking up from a dream, Zhao Yong and his ministers depicted the woman's physical image at a banquet.
After Wu Guang listened, he felt that the beautiful woman described by Zhao Yong was very similar to his daughter Meng Yao, so he dedicated Meng Yao to Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong was overjoyed after seeing Meng Yao, and this was the beauty of his dreams.
Zhao Yong was very fond of Meng Yao and made him queen.
Not long after, Meng Yao gave birth to a son for Zhao Yong, named Zhao He.
Heaven was jealous of the red face, Meng Yao died ten years later, and before dying, he asked Zhao Yong to make their child the crown prince.
Zhao Yong agreed to Meng Yao's request, deposed his eldest son Zhao Zhang, and replaced Meng Yao's son Zhao He as crown prince.
In order to facilitate the distinction, the eldest son Zhao Zhang we call the eldest, Meng Yao's son Zhao He we call the second eldest.
Abolishing the long and young, the country's taboo, not to mention that the boss himself is also an excellent child.
Zhao Yong's establishment of the second eldest as the prince is already a chaotic way of government, and what is strange is that a year later, Zhao Yong directly gave way to the second eldest and became the "main father" himself.
If Zhao Yong completely delegated power, there might be no later matter, but Zhao Yong engaged in a separation of military and government, allowing the second elder to concentrate on governing the country and taking charge of foreign military operations.
In the final analysis, it is not that Zhao Yong does not want to delegate power, nor is it confused to pass the throne to the second elder in advance, but it is concerned about chaos.
Zhao Yong was only fifteen years old when he had just succeeded to the throne, and the five kingdoms of Qin, Chu, Wei, Qi, and Yan wanted to take advantage of the fire and robbery, intending to divide the Zhao kingdom, and zhao Yong, a fifteen-year-old child, sabotaged their plans and saved Zhao from danger.
The fundamental reason why the Five Kingdoms dared to take advantage of the fire and robbery when the Zhao State had just succeeded to the throne was that Zhao Yong's father, King Zhao Su, was in a hurry when he handed over the power, Zhao Yong had just ascended the throne, the foundation was unstable, and the Zhao State was surging undercurrents.
Therefore, Zhao Yong did not want the tragedy that had appeared in his body to happen to his son again, so he wanted to support the second elder in advance, so that the second elder could take over the power smoothly in his lifetime.
Zhao Yong just wanted to help the second elder for a ride.
However, Zhao Yong's behavior seriously violated the basic rules of political power construction.
There can never be two governments in a country, and the military power and political power must be centered on one person, so as to avoid internal friction and prevent the division of the country.
Now that the military power and political power are separated, who is the monarch of the Zhao State? Who the hell are the people below listening to? Will some people speculate?
Therefore, this dualistic politics of Zhao Yong is fundamentally wrong.
Not knowing what had happened to the male lord, he soon made another mistake.
After Zhao Yong passed the throne to the second eldest, he felt sorry for the boss again.
The boss is very similar to Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong loves the boss very much, and the boss has followed Zhao Yong on expeditions many times and has made many military achievements.
The boss was deposed without any fault, without the slightest complaint, still very filial to Zhao Yong, thinking of this, Zhao Yong felt sorry for the boss, so he came up with a way to make up for the boss.
Zhao Yong named the boss Anyang Jun, and arranged a big talent for the boss to be rude, so that the boss himself formed a set of teams.
Zhao Yong also ordered that everything should be prepared for the eldest and second eldest, and never favor one over the other. Even the honor guard of the boss in and out is the same as the second boss.
This is simply a mess, for the second eldest, now the nominal monarch is him, and now the boss eats and wears the same degree as his monarch, and the boss also has his own team, how can this reassure the second elder?
For the boss, he was originally a prince, deposed for no reason, and now that he is in power again, will he have ideas about the throne?
King Huiwen of Zhao (the second eldest) was four years old, and Zhao Yong wanted to divide the Dai Commandery to the boss and prepare to make the boss king.
When he had just succeeded to the throne, the Zhao state was divided into two factions:
A faction of nomadic representatives based in Dai County;
A representative force of Central Plains culture based in Handan.
It took Zhao Yong ten years to unify these two forces and end the division between the north and the south, and now Zhao Yong actually wants to reopen the division between the north and the south with his own hands.
Next, I couldn't understand Zhao Yong's operation directly.
Zhao Yong told the idea of giving a reward to The Elder Dai Commandery and making him the king, and told the second elder XiangGuo Feiyi.
Fei Yi directly told the second elder about the matter, and the second elder attached great importance to it, deeply realized the seriousness of the matter, and quickly discussed countermeasures with Fei Yi.
At that time, Zhao Yong offended the Zhao clan in order to end the division between the north and the south of the Zhao state in order to end the Zhao state, and the representative figures of the Zhao state clan were called Gongzi Cheng, and the Zhao clans such as Gongzi Cheng and Zhao Bao chose to side with the second elder at this time.
Gongzi Cheng was suppressed by Zhao Yong for many years, and it was the second elder who supported Gongzi Cheng to make a comeback, and in return, the second elder took advantage of Gongzi Cheng's influence among the Zhao clan and gained a firm foothold in the Zhao clan.
Gongzi Cheng is very grateful to the second eldest.
From another point of view, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and it is obvious that there has been a break between the second elder and Zhao Yong, at least from the second elder's point of view, their father and son have broken up.
Fei Yi asked Gongzi Cheng to leave the capital with the second elder's soldier charm, ready to start an incident at any time, while Zhao Bao sat in Handan to prevent all soldiers from entering Handan City.
Zhao Yong felt that the second elder was guarding against him, which made Zhao Yong very angry.
Zhao Yong used the excuse of going to the sand dunes to choose a cemetery, and let the eldest and second elder accompany him.
After arriving at the dunes, the eldest and the second lived in different rooms in the palace, but they both thought of the same thing and killed each other.
Tian Buli, as the top strategist on the boss's side, gave advice to the boss, used Zhao Yong's name to invite the second elder to the Zhao Yong Palace to discuss, and then took the opportunity to get rid of the second elder, and then abducted Zhao Yong to ascend to the throne.
Fei Yi, as the second eldest's Xiangguo and top strategist, had a premonition that something was wrong, so he consulted with the second elder, and Fei Yi rushed to the Zhao Yong Palace alone to discuss, and if he could not return, he immediately informed Gongzi Chengfa to serve the king.
Fei Yi came to Zhao Yong's palace, did not see Zhao Yong, only saw the boss and Tian Buli, Fei Yi knew that he was definitely gone, so "generous and righteous."
After the boss cut fei yi, he once again sent someone to invite the second elder in the name of Zhao Yong. When the messenger arrived at the second palace, the second elder knew that something had happened, and the messenger was forced by the second elder to ask questions, and Fei Yi had indeed been killed.
Then the second elder led the soldiers to fight with the boss's people, and Gongzicheng also arrived quickly, and Gongzicheng joined, and the balance of the war was completely tilted.
The boss fled to Zhao Yong's palace and prayed for Zhao Yong's protection.
Gongzi Cheng surrounded Zhao Yong in a group, and a general named Li Dui was about to tell the old man about it, but was stopped by Gongzi Cheng: Now ask the great king, isn't this embarrassing for the great king, now we don't say, then it will be our fault, but the sword has no eyes, and the great king will not blame us.
This prince is worthy of being the leader of the clan, that is, he has a level.
In the end, Zhao Yong Palace cut off water and grain for three months, Zhao Yong was starved to death, and after repeatedly confirming that Zhao Yong had died, Gongzi Cheng opened the door.
The second elder had not asked during the period, his heart was actually clear, and finally he cried a few times and buried Zhao Yong thickly.
summary
Zhao Yong abolished Chang Liyou for the sake of Meng Yao, laying the foundation for zhao guo.
In order to avoid the misfortune of the second eldest experiencing his own succession, he let him succeed to the throne in advance and help him consolidate his power, but he also pitied the boss and even more delusionally wanted the boss to be called king.
Zhao Guo's power struggle broke out completely, power is like a drug, once tried, it is difficult to quit, and neither side will give in.
Zhao Yong's power was also gradually broken down in the struggle between his two sons.
The second elder has been in power for many years, and with the help of the Zhao clan, the position has been stabilized, and the nominal monarch of the Zhao state is already the second oldest, and others who want to rescue are also unknown.
Most importantly, Zhao Yong's cavalry corps was all stationed in the north at this time, and they couldn't even get news, let alone rescue.
And the sand dunes do not have a large number of Zhao Guo's army, other people who can get the news even if they want to rescue the driver, they also need to travel a long way to bring troops, it is very likely to be stopped by the second elder's men and horses, and the hope of successful rescue is almost zero.
People are self-interested, and the result of saving Zhao Yong may not be much better, but once it fails, it will be ruined, not to mention such a high failure rate, it is not worth the risk at all.
In the final analysis, it was Zhao Yong himself who, in order to make up for the guilt in his heart, even tried to split the country, and such an act that was contrary to the development of the country would inevitably no longer be supported by anyone.
Zhao Yong is called Zhao Wuling King, and the wu character is positive and the spirit word is derogatory. The Book of Zhou records that chaos does not damage the spirit. It means that the monarch has thrown the country into chaos, but it has not hurt the fundamentals.
Therefore, whether it is for personal interests or for the sake of national society, no one will come to save Zhao Yong.
