Emperor Zhao of Song, the sixth emperor in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, was not originally a prince, his father was King Zhao and Rui of Rong, and his mother was from a humble origin and was concubined by Zhao and Ruina, and was often bullied by Lady Zhengfang. Therefore, after his mother became pregnant, Mrs. Zhengfang was furious and immediately threatened her to take medicine to beat off the fetus, it is estimated that the effect of the medicine expired, and finally Zhao Yu was born!
After Zhao Yu was born, the family found that this child was unusual, born weak and weak hands and feet, but did not think much, the child is like this, it is good to be old. I never thought that after Zhao Yu grew up, the problem became more serious, he couldn't walk when he was five or six years old, he couldn't speak when he was seven years old, and the clear-eyed people knew that this was the sequelae left by the pill, this child was ruined, and he was mentally retarded!
Just when everyone was disgusted with this mentally handicapped child, Zhao Yun, the emperor at the time, stood up and expressed his opinion: "This son has inner wisdom!" "What mental retardation? What doesn't speak? That's because you don't know how to appreciate, but see this child is smart. Not only that, Song Lizong boasted that Zhao Yu was a person with merit, and praised Zhao Yu like a flower.
This incident caused an uproar in the court, and the young ministers proposed that the imperial doctor should be allowed to treat the emperor to prevent Alzheimer's disease. However, the older ministers smiled slightly as if they understood something, they knew that His Majesty the Emperor was weak-minded, because there was a disgraceful experience buried in Song Lizong's heart, to be precise, it was a palace coup!
In 1224, Emperor Ningzong of Song fell ill and all his own sons died, so the crown prince at the time was his adopted son Zhao Zhu. Hearing that the emperor was critically ill, The Minister of Power Shi Miyuan panicked, because he had a conflict with the crown prince Zhao Zhen, who was extremely hostile to Shi Miyuan and once released words to exile Shi Miyuan for three thousand miles. Shi Miyuan was worried about retaliation after the crown prince ascended the throne, so he was angry from the heart and turned evil to the guts, and without doing two things, he deposed the crown prince Zhao Hu and established a new monarch, so Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang (Song Ningzong's wife) chose another person to inherit the throne, this person was the later Song Lizong Zhao Yun, at that time Zhao Yun was still called Zhao Guicheng, he was the adopted son of Song Ningzong's younger brother King Yi, who attacked The King of Fengyi (the fertility of Song Ningzong's brothers was too poor)!
Crown Prince Zhao Hu was kept in the dark the whole time, until on the day of the enthronement ceremony, Crown Prince Zhao Hu was surprised to find that it was actually someone else sitting on the emperor's throne, and Shi Miyuan falsely passed on the holy will to abolish Zhao Hu's position as crown prince and change the title of King of Ji, and Zhao Hu stood on top of the main hall and trembled with anger. However, how could he fight the queen and the prime minister on his own? In desperation, Zhao Hu had to admit his fate, and later Shi Miyuan was afraid of an accident and secretly executed Zhao Hu, and it was very likely that Zhao Yun of Song Lizong was also involved. This act was done too much, and the world was in an uproar, and many ministers at that time were upset about it, but they were all squeezed out of the imperial court by Shi Miyuan.
Now I understand what Zhao Yun's heart is empty, right? He was not qualified to inherit the throne, and was pushed to the throne by the powerful minister Shi Miyuan through a palace coup, which was an improper position. If you want to keep the events of that year from being turned over and always maintain your great, glorious and correct image of the monarch, then this throne must be passed to your own family to rest assured, this family is Zhao Yu!
Song Lizong Zhao Yun is the tenth grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of Song Taizu, he and Zhao Yu's father Zhao and Rui are brothers, Song Lizong has been on the throne for many years without heirs, and his younger brothers Zhao and Rui have no other sons, so Zhao Yun has actually become the only person in Zhao Yun's family who can inherit the emperor, and now you understand why Zhao Yun is clever in his desperate attempts? He was showing the world that Zhao Yu was not stupid and could definitely inherit his throne.
To this end, Song Lizong can be said to have tried everything to cultivate this stupid child, but Zhao Yu's mud could not support the wall, and it had no effect at all, often making Song Lizong's seven tricks smoke. At that time, the Southern Song Empire was already crumbling, and Taizu might not be able to help the building fall in the next life, so Song Lizong only cared about his own selfishness and let a mentally handicapped person rule the world, which was even worse for the Southern Song Dynasty! Therefore, people of insight also tried to stop Song Lizong.
For example, at that time, Wu Qian, the left minister, repeatedly addressed Song Lizong and suggested that he set up another disciple of the emperor as the crown prince, and Song Lizong only cared that he did not pay any attention to Wu Qian's contrarian advice, and in the end, Wu Qian, who was angry, really had no choice, so he had to shout out such a rebellious word as "The minister has no talent, and the loyal king has no blessing from His Majesty", at that time, Zhao Yu was named the king of loyalty, which was equivalent to exposing Zhao Yun's most painful scars. The relationship between the two men has since become deadlocked, and the traitorous minister Jia Xiangdao took the opportunity to frame Wu Qian, so Wu Qian resigned. After that, Song Lizong proposed Jia Xiangdao to be the prime minister, and Jia Xiangdao just controlled the government, so he took a fancy to Zhao Yu's ultra-low IQ, so that he could better play with the emperor between the palms of his hands!
In fact, the ten years of the reign of Emperor Zhao Of song were basically the last decade of the Southern Song Empire, and if the whole army resisted the Yuan army through force, it was not known if the southeast half of the wall would be defended and then counterattacked. Unfortunately, in the past ten years, Zhao Yujia was like a Taoist monarch blindly coveting pleasure, and finally buried the Southern Song Empire!
