The succession to the throne of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi in the Northern Song Dynasty belongs

Because the Jin Dynasty established an heir based on military exploits, and did not follow the son inheritance system at that time, whoever has the greatest ability can be the next emperor, which can be said to have caused the Jin Dynasty to be the elder brother and the younger brother.

The succession to the throne of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi in the Northern Song Dynasty belonged to the brother-in-law system, and the same was true for the founding of the Jin Dynasty, because the society at that time was particularly suitable for this system, so the Qin Dynasty also followed this system when it was founded.

Because the emperor's son is still too young, and the emperor's younger brother controls the government, he can only inherit the system of brother and brother, and the son cannot inherit the throne.

One of the reasons is that she is unwilling to go against her mother's wishes, her mother Empress Dowager Du wants her son to be the emperor, the eldest is the second to be the second, the second is the third, and then he is forced by Zhao Guangyi, who is also exhausted in order to ascend the throne.

Because as a dead man, he has no right to speak, and Zhao Guangyi has such power and prestige to speak for him.

Because Zhao Kuangyin felt that his younger brother Zhao Guangyi was his most suitable heir, for many years, he had been trying his best to cultivate his younger brother, and his younger brother performed very well, and he was very relieved to hand over the throne to his younger brother.

No. Some of Zhao Kuangyin's sons died, some were killed, and some were guarded by Yan and later died of depression. I don't know what the historical facts are, but history does not clearly say whether Zhao Kuangyi seized power, which is a historical mystery.

only said that Zhao Kuangyi talked to Zhao Kuangyin all night, and Zhao Kuangyin died not long after Zhao Kuangyi left the next day.

So to speak. Except for Zhao Gou, all the other royal families of Taizong's family were exiled to the northern kingdom. Zhao Gou injured the male root when he escaped, lost his fertility, and could only adopt collateral descendants.

At that time, the closest one was the Taizu line. But from the perspective of patriarchal law, the later filial piety Zhao Yan belonged to Zhao Gou, and he was regarded as the nominal descendant of Taizong.

Zhao Guangyi was actually a usurper at that time, and there were many people who were unhappy when he became the emperor, but he was afraid of him, and as soon as he died, he naturally wanted the orthodox prince to succeed him.

Gaozong had no children and found a descendant of Taizu as his adopted son.

Zhao Gou is still young, not afraid of having no son.

Mainly because the Jin people seized Huizong and Qinzong and a large number of Taizong lineages (that is, those who are also qualified to inherit the great unification).

And the Jin people threatened to let these hostages come back, if these guys come back... How does Zhao Gou deal with himself?

In order to keep and consolidate his throne, and also to prevent these guys from coming back to cause infighting, he took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and directly gave the throne to the descendants of the Taizu line. Then the royal relatives of the Taizong family in the hands of the Jin people who want to use it to blackmail the Southern Song Dynasty are worthless.

It is not necessarily guilty, but for those with vested interests, it is like the cold pork that is placed on the sacrificial table. Taizu received the grace of Zhou Shizong's knowledge, but after Zhou Shizong unfortunately hung up, Taizu immediately added a yellow robe, and then he didn't necessarily have much to repay the descendants of the Zhou family, and where did he feel guilty. Taizong is even more of a rarching guy.

The candlelight axe shadow is not seen in the official history, and it is difficult to say whether there is really such a conspiracy, anyway, there are far more people who believe than do not. Brother to brother and brother is the shadow that shrouds the psychology of each descendant of Taizu and Taizong. Huizong is also the younger brother of Zhezong, and then what happened to the Northern Song Dynasty.

The truth is often impossible to disclose, and disclosure means completely tearing the skin, and there is no room for maneuver and compromise. Even if the candlelight and axe shadow were true, it was already a fait accompli, and for the ruling class, it was more important for the ruling class to stabilize the regime than to publicize something that caused the Song Dynasty to completely fight and cause the Song Dynasty to collapse. At least at that time, the class of scholars representing the interests of the ruling class was aware of this.

The difficulties of Taizong's descendants in Jingkang were basically all taken captive, and some of them were either not heard from or deceased. So it's basically unattended. At the same time, Gaozong himself was infertile. Therefore, if there are no heirs, the throne will be passed on to the descendants of Taizu.

I think one reason is because Zhao Kuangyin is suitable for this position and can do well, Zhao Guangyi believes in him, and Zhao Guangyi's descendants may not have the ability to be outstanding.

Because he trusts Zhao Kuangyin more, he has a good impression of Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin's lineage is indeed more competitive, and he has no biological children, so he passed on the throne.

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, who lost his fertility due to various reasons, has since been regarded as the last child. So he could only adopt his son to serve as the heir to the throne of the Southern Song Dynasty.

I think the main reason is that Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a glass of wine, and he has his own ability to rule the world.

Zhao Kuangyin won Zhao Gou's heart, and often walked in front of him, letting Zhao Gou know that he was talented, so he passed on the throne.

I think it may be because Zhao Gou trusts Zhao Kuangyin more, and thinks that he may be more suitable to sit on the throne than others.

Zhao Gou himself had no descendants, and Zhao Kuangyin also showed his military and political talents at that time, which was appreciated by Zhao Gou.

Because Zhao Gou himself did not have an heir and close descendants, Zhao Bocong was canonized as the prince in the thirty-second year of Shaoxing because of his deferential personality and erudition, and changed his name to Zhao Yan, and soon after, Zhao Gou, who had reigned for thirty-six years, announced the crown prince of Zen and proclaimed himself the emperor.

Because he had no biological heirs to take care of him at that time, and Zhao Kuangyin's lineage was also relatively competitive, he could only return the throne to them.

The clan ideology of the feudal dynasty was deep-rooted, and even if the throne was not passed on to his son, he must be a blood relative, which was completely different from the Zen throne system before the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin was not seriously ill before he died, and he died suddenly, and Zhao Guangyi was the only one by his side at that time, so it is very likely that Zhao Guangyi harmed him.

Because he has a good relationship with his younger brother, and his younger brother contributed a lot to the Chen Qiao Mutiny, Zhao Guangyi also has the talent to govern the country, the country is not unified, and a capable monarch is needed, so Zhao Kuangyin judged the situation and passed the seat to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi.

Judging by the records. Zhao Kuangyin's death was more strange. Moreover, when Zhao Kuangyin died, only his younger brother was by his side.

First of all, his younger brother was also a very politically talented person, and secondly, his son was fighting for the throne very fiercely at that time, so he gave it to his younger brother in order to quell the war between the two sons.

Zhao Kuangyin, the name Yuanlang, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. He passed the throne to his brother Zhao Guangyi, this matter is a big mystery in history, it is said that Zhao Kuangyin died strangely, there is a shadow of a knife and axe outside the palace, whether it is his younger brother to be verified.

It may not be Zhao Kuangyin's original intention, Zhao Kuangyin died when he was in the prime of life, whether he really died of illness or was killed by his younger brother, the truth is unknown.

It is said that it was because Zhao Kuangyin's mother loved her youngest son very much, so she let Zhao Kuangyin pass the throne to her younger brother after he died.

Because the two originally agreed to take turns to be emperors, Zhao Kuangyin passed on the throne to Zhao Guangyi after his death, since it has been said in advance, I don't think there is any problem.

Zhao Kuangyin and his brother Zhao Guangyi, they had an agreement to lay down the country together, and the two took turns to sit in the country, so after Zhao Kuangyin died, he passed the throne to his brother Zhao Guangyi

Zhao Kuangyin passed the throne to his brother Zhao Guangyi, and there is a saying that it was the result of an agreement with his mother back then, but it is not very credible.
