Mentioning yue fei, no one knows, the textbook calls him a hero of the anti-Jin resistance, and the Yue family army fought against the invading Jin soldiers under his leadership and won victories. When he was about to defeat the Jin Dynasty, Yue Fei was recalled by Emperor Gaozong of Song, and Qin Ju and Emperor Gaozong of Song subsequently killed him on charges of "false accusations". A generation of famous people will die unjustly.
Therefore, Emperor Gaozong of Song left behind the insult of killing Zhongliang in vain and disregarding the security of the country, and people remembered him, gritting their teeth every time they mentioned him, and their blame and resentment towards him were no less than qin juniper who had been left behind for thousands of years.
Zhao Was infamous, but his life expectancy was very long, living to the age of 81, which could be described as a long life in the fifty ancient feudal era. The only emperors of Gaoshou in previous dynasties were Qianlong, Wu Zetian, and Emperor Wu of Liang.
Emperor Gaozong of Song was able to live so long, perhaps because he passed the throne to Zhao Kuangyin's descendants at the age of 56, after all, being emperor Taishang could enjoy wealth and wealth without worrying too much about the government. So, did Zhao Chou give up the throne just for personal comfort? Why not pass it on to his descendants and pass it on to the descendants of Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Kuangyin?
Critical relay bit
In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty repeatedly attacked, and the Northern Song Dynasty, which had always been heavy on literature and light on military force, was difficult to resist, and in the face of strong enemies, the Song army threw away its armor and often fled.
The ruler was powerless and had to submit to the Jin dynasty. Zhao Was the son of Emperor Huizong of Song, and when he was King Kang, he was sent to the Jin Kingdom as a hostage. Halfway through, he heard that the Jin soldiers had broken through Bieliang, and that his father Emperor Huizong of Song and his brother Emperor Qinzong of Song had become prisoners of the Jin State.
After consulting with the people around him, Zhao Zhuo thought that it was much better to return to the Song Dynasty to inherit the throne than to go to the Jin Kingdom as a hostage. As a result, Zhao Zhao, who survived the disaster, turned around and became the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The emperor became the emperor, but Zhao Zhao's throne was not sitting steadily. Jin Guo is still constantly invading, and if he can't resist, he can only be the king of the country like his father and brother.
Years of war and turmoil have sharply reduced the central military strength, and there is little money left in the national treasury. The imperial court had to let the local magnates recruit troops privately as one of the forces resisting jin. The increasing development of local forces with money and soldiers has become another worry in Zhao Shuo's mind.
While Zhao Zhuo was worried day and night, Yue Fei led the Yue family army to constantly win victories against the Jin soldiers, which made him less worried about the Jin state, and after the situation was stable, the local heroes did not dare to act arbitrarily.
The prospects were bright, but Zhao Zhuo had new ideas. He understood that Yue Fei was loyal not only to himself, but also to Song Qinzong and Song Huizong. Yue Fei's ultimate goal was to defeat the Jin Dynasty and take back the two emperors.
This was unacceptable to Zhao Zhao, and once his father and brother returned, the throne would definitely belong to them. For personal gain, Zhao Summoned Yue Fei, who was fighting in the front, and killed him.
After Yue Fei was killed, Zhao Zhuo made a promise in front of the Jin Kingdom, did not hesitate to sign a peace treaty to cut off the land and pay compensation, committed himself to being a vassal, and appointed the lord and minister in the imperial court. With such a loss of dignity, he continued to be the emperor.
Zhao Zhaochan is located in Zhao Xuan
Logically, Zhao Shuo, who killed Yue Fei as a royalist, should be very attached to imperial power and would not give up power until he died. Surprisingly, at the age of 56, he took the initiative to pass on to Zhao Xi. He did this for several reasons.
In 1161, the invading Jin soldiers were defeated by the Song army at Quarry Rock. The ministers and relatives of the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the resentment that had been suppressed for many years broke out, and the main war faction had the upper hand in the imperial court.
Zhao Chou sensed the thoughts of the ministers and also wanted to be ashamed. However, he has always advocated peace talks, and a sudden change of attitude is not easy to explain to all aspects. By replacing the previously appointed lords and ministers, Zhao Shuo would lose the support of these people and use the main war faction ministers, and he was worried that they who had been suppressed were not the same heart as himself.
Cede the throne to someone else and things can be solved. The new monarch is free to appoint the Minister of War at will. If the war is lost, Zhao Shuo, as the Emperor Taishang, can come forward to make peace.
In addition, Zhao Zhuo knew his own ability, and after being emperor for many years, he was nothing more than constantly paying tribute to the Jin Kingdom, and he had achieved nothing in military terms. He did not have the confidence to lead his subjects to defeat the Jin State, and after killing Yue Fei and declaring himself a vassal to Jin, his prestige was even lower.
How to command thousands of troops and horses to fight against the Jin Kingdom, it is better to let the new emperor complete the cause that he cannot complete.
Moreover, being an emperor made Zhao Zhuo feel unhappy, and in the Song court he was the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and admired by all the people, but he still had to be a subject in front of the Jin Kingdom.
Giving way to the younger generation, he can have fun in life, the ultimate glory and wealth can still be enjoyed, do not pay attention to those many dynastic politics, not to mention the face of the Golden Kingdom. The troubles were left to xinjun, and Zhao Zhuo could live a peaceful life.
Zhao Xi was not Zhao Shuo's biological son. After abdicating the throne, zhao zhuo wanted to live a good life, and Zhao Zhuo had to have a good relationship with him. What could be more coveted than the throne? Zhao Zhuo believed that if he handed over the throne to Zhao Xi as soon as possible and on his own initiative, Zhao Xuan would definitely be grateful to himself.
Out of this consideration, Zhao Zhuo claimed that he was not in good health and handed over the throne to Zhao Xiao early. In fact, he lived to be 81 years old, and when he gave way at the age of 56, he was still in good health. Zhao Xiao knew this very well, and his purpose of currying favor with Xinjun was achieved.
After Zhao Xi succeeded to the throne, he was indeed filial to Zhao Zhao, and it was better than his own son than his own son. Zhao Zhao had been the Emperor Taishang for more than 20 years.
Why did the Zen position give Zhao Xi
Zhao Shuo, who wanted to retreat behind the scenes, had already decided to give up the throne, so why didn't he give up the throne to his descendants but to the heirs of Zhao Kuangyin of Emperor Taizong of Song?
The main reason was that Zhao Zhuo did not have a prince at that time. At the time of jingkang's change, he lost his fertility and his only son died in the turmoil. He could only find another heir to the throne in the royal family.
Zhao Zhuo was a descendant of Zhao Guangyi, and it was reasonable that he should choose an heir among Zhao Guangyi's heirs. However, when Zhao Zhuo did not take back Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, who were captured by the Jin Dynasty, it was inevitable that their descendants would not hold grudges. In order to avoid retaliation, Zhao Zhuo would definitely not choose the imperial family of Zhao Guangyi as emperor.
Zhao Kuangyin was the founding emperor, but his descendants were exiled to the people, and many ministers were concerned about their former lords and suggested to Zhao Kuo that the throne be returned to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Was willing to create a good reputation and was very much in favor of the ministers' suggestions.
It is said that Zhao Kuangyin once dreamed of Zhao Zhao, telling that the Song Dynasty was laid down by him, and his descendants should succeed to the throne, and the heavens were not accustomed to Zhao Guangyi inheriting the throne, so they punished him with the "Battle of Jingnan". Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Tou not to disobey Providence and return the throne to his descendants.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that Zhao Shuo selected the more talented Zhao Xiao as the new king among Zhao Kuangyin's many descendants.
Zhao Zhuo was considered to be a traitor to the country and seek glory. People think he is intellectual, greedy and selfish, killing loyalists, and disregarding the lives of his fathers and brothers.
The emperors of most feudal societies first defended not the country and the people but their own power and extravagant life. Zhao Zhuo is a typical representative of them. Saying that he has no ability, he enjoys himself in the chaotic world until he is 81 years old, saying that he has the ability, and he cannot defeat the Golden State.
Zhao Zhuo was called the Emperor of Darkness, and in the end, the reason was because he did not have the virtue of a Saint Ming monarch, and only thought for himself, and used his mind and wisdom on how to safeguard his personal interests. If he had a little understanding of the great righteousness of the nation, he would not have been hated by the people.
