Zhao Xiangzi, patriarchy is more important than love relatives?

In the previous section, we mentioned that Zhi Xiangzi was defeated by Jinyang, the three families of Zhao, Han, and Wei divided up the land of the Zhi clan, the Zhi clan was destroyed, the skull of Zhi Xiangzi was also used as a wine vessel, and Yu Rang, who was bent on avenging Zhi Xiangzi, also died, and the antecedents of the three families were ended.

Writing here, Sima Guang's pen turned sharply and explained what happened after the three families were divided into Jin.

The Zizhi Tongjian writes: Zhao Xiangzi thought that this throne should have been Bolu's, and he still thought of returning it to Boru's descendants. Therefore, although he himself had five sons, he refused to appoint his own son as his heir. He enfeoffed Beru's son in Daicheng and was called DaiChengjun. Dai Chengjun died early, and Zhao Xiangzi established Zhao Huan, the son of Dai Chengjun, as his heir.

As mentioned above, Sima Guang explained that Zhao Jianzi had two sons, the eldest son, Beru, and the younger son. In the context of the fierce competition among the princes, Zhao Jianzi did not choose the heir according to the inheritance system of the eldest son, but came up with examination questions to examine who was more virtuous than the two sons, and the result was that the younger son won without mercy.

Zhao Wuxi became the heir, that is, the later Zhao Xiangzi.

As the youngest son who ascended to the throne by virtue of his own ability, zhao Xiangzi should logically recognize more deeply in his heart the concept of "passing on his own son" and "the capable one is on top, and the mediocre is down".

However, when it came time to choose his own successor, he directly advocated a return to the primogeniture system. Instead of passing on the throne to his own son, he passed the throne to his eldest brother's son, Dai Chengjun, and when Dai Chengjun died, he passed the throne to Dai Chengjun's son.

I don't know how big the psychological shadow area is when Zhao Xiangzi's five sons see his father arrange it like this?

To illustrate,

Zhao Xiangzi was determined to make up his mind very well, the means were not very clever, and the aftermath did not develop as he arranged.

The Zizhi Tongjian writes that after Zhao Xiangzi's death, his younger brother Zhao Huanzi seized the throne, drove out Zhao Huan, and established himself as a monarch.

We can't help but ask, Zhao Jianzi is not just two sons, how did Zhao Xiangzi jump out of a younger brother Zhao Huanzi. After research, Zhao Huanzi, zhao jia, was Zhao Xiangzi's own son, not his younger brother.

Zhao Jia saw that his father wanted to pass the seat to his cousin, who died early, and also passed it on to his cousin's son, that is, his cousin's nephew.

Although Zhao Xiangzi played the patriarchal banner of restoring the primogeniture inheritance system, his son Zhao Jia's psychological injury shadow area was very large and very unconvinced. As soon as Lao Tzu Zhao Xiangzi died, his son Zhao Jia drove away his cousin Zhao Huan and established himself as a monarch.

But bad people don't necessarily live long. "Zizhi Tongjian": Zhao Jia, who only became a monarch for one year, died, with the nickname "Huanzi". Zhao Guoren was not convinced, saying: "Zhao Huanzi is a king, not the meaning of the Lord of Xiangzi." Therefore, together, they killed Huanzi's son, and then took Zhao Huan back as a king, which was Zhao Xianzi. Zhao Xianzi was born zhao yuan, which was the later Marquis of Zhao Lie.

At this point, the issue of the heir of the Zhao family finally returned to Zhao Xiangzi's arrangement.

Seeing this, we can't help but ask. As a rigorous and meticulous old scholar Sima Guang, why would he quote the records of the "Records of History" without examination and misrepresent Zhao Huanzi as Zhao Xiangzi's younger brother, rather than Zhao Xiangzi's son. Such a big hard injury, Sima Guang did not find it!?

If Sima Guang found that the "Records of History" was wrong, knowing that Zhao Huanzi was the son of Zhao Xiangzi, he deliberately added mistakes to zhao huanzi and wrote Zhao Huanzi as Zhao Xiangzi's younger brother.

In this way, a play of "the son is dissatisfied with Lao Tzu and drives away his cousin and nephew to ascend to the throne" immediately becomes a play of "the brother is dissatisfied with the arrangement of the brother and seizes the throne to stand on his own", such a big drama is not very familiar.

In the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the story of the candlelight axe shadow, Zhao Kuangyin was critically ill, and summoned his brother Zhao Guangyi and son Zhao Defang into the palace to discuss. As a result, Zhao Defang did not enter the palace, and Zhao Guangyi entered the palace and became the emperor after he came out, and was known as Song Taizong.

Afterwards, Emperor Taizong of Song zhao Guangyi also made a story of a "golden alliance" and a brother-to-brother succession, and also pretended to put his younger brother Zhao Guangmei on the seat of Yin in Kaifeng Province as an heir to cultivate, and there was a great posture of fixing the "brother-to-brother succession". Soon, he took the framing hand to punish Zhao Guangmei's crime and remove obstacles for his son to ascend to the throne.

Is the operation of Salman, a local tycoon in the Middle East today, very similar to the operation of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong?

Historically, there have been rumors of Zhao Guangyi usurping the throne. Sima Guang arranged it this way, and the story of Zhao Huanzi's usurpation of the throne by his brother Zhao Xiangzi is also insinuation that Zhao Guangyi's one-line is not in the right place, and should be studied like the Zhao family and passed the seat back to Zhao Kuangyin's vein!

After the "Zizhi Tongjian" explains the Zhao family, it immediately explains the Wei and Han families, and in the next section we will continue to see what happened to Wei and Han.

Enclosure:　

Xiangzi was not lied to Boru, and had five sons, and refused to be reared. Feng Bolu's son Yu Dai (虞代), also known as Dai Chengjun (成君), died early and made his son Huan the Empress of the Zhao clan. Xiang zi pawn, brother Huan Zi and self-reliance, one year old. The people of the Zhao clan said: "Huan Zi Li, not Xiang's idea." "He who killed his son together, and who stood up again to the raccoon, was to sacrifice his son." The birth of a son is for the martyrs.
