    I think it was because the government had not yet been resolved, and the local forces were unstable.

    Because Song Taizu had just ascended the throne at that time, the forces of all parties were not very stable.

    This point is indeed the reason why the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, followed the Later Han general Guo Wei to fight everywhere in his early years, and later Guo Wei successfully proclaimed himself emperor and established the Later Zhou Dynasty. During his allegiance to the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin successively went to the Northern Han Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty with the army, during which he made many military exploits.

    Because of his bravery, Chai Rong of Later Zhou Shizong relied on him very much. In 959, Chai Rong, who was seriously ill, promoted Zhao Kuangyin to the position of commander of the forbidden army before his death. During this period, Zhao Kuangyin held military power and had a very large appeal in the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

    It is precisely because of this that Zhao Kuangyin was added to the yellow robe in the first month of 960 under the support of his subordinates, and then ascended to the throne and established the Song Dynasty. <>

    As a military general, Zhao Kuangyin did not want to see such an incident happen again after ascending to the throne with the help of military power in his hands. In order to reduce the probability of recurrence of such incidents, Zhao Kuangyin formulated the policy of "emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, and governing the country with culture". There are specific initiatives regarding this policy, such as the abolition of the post of metropolitan inspector.

    Zhao Kuangyin, who had served as the inspector of the capital, ordered the revocation of this official position in 961, the second year of his reign. In addition, Zhao Kuangyin also ordered the rectification of the forbidden army agency Xunchang into two departments, the front division of the palace and the guard department, and then set up the "three marshals" for management. However, these "three marshals" did not have the power to send troops, and the military affairs were handled by the Privy Council, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and this Privy Council did not have the power to transfer troops.

    It was also in this year that Zhao Kuangyin also confiscated the military power of the military generals in the way of "releasing the military power with a glass of wine". Later, in order to prevent the generals from serving in the same army for a long time and growing their power, the Song Dynasty also adopted the method of frequently changing the commanders to manage it. In the event of war, the emperor would also send a Chinese official or eunuch to the war zone as commander.

    If you change your strategy during this period, you need to get the emperor's permission in advance. Under the implementation of these measures, the military generals' forces were naturally controlled everywhere, and the Song Dynasty army also appeared as a result of the situation of "the army is impermanent and the army is immanent". <>

    Compared with the military generals, the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were valued for their dismantling posture. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Zhao Kuangyin set the imperial examination as the main way to select talents. He stipulated that literati could participate in the imperial examination regardless of their background, and as long as they excelled in their studies, they could enter the temple.

    In addition, the highest magistrates, whether in the court or in the local government, are all civilian officials. In general, the status of civil officials in the Song Dynasty was higher than that of military generals as a whole. Because of the "emphasis on literature and suppression of military force", the military strength of the Song Dynasty was inevitably affected, and the Song Dynasty was also called "the weak Song Dynasty Luchangjue".

    On the contrary, the culture and art of the Song Dynasty developed very rapidly, and the Northern Song Dynasty was regarded as one of the most prosperous periods of culture by later generations.

    Yes. Because Song Taizu himself is a military general, he knows very well that once a military general holds too much power, it will pose a huge threat to the country.

  5. Anonymous users2024-02-04

    Yes, partly because of the fear that other generals would pose a threat to their rule, this is the case.

  6. Anonymous users2024-02-03

    Yes, this situation is indeed the reason why the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. And the impact of this incident at that time was relatively large.

    Because Song Taizu successfully avoided the influence of feudal ideology and did not let gossip threaten him, it was said to be the most clever seizure of power.

    In doing so, he is not codifying his position, he is "forced" by the soldiers, and at the same time, it also shows that his position is won by the people.

    Because this will not end up with a reputation of usurping power and seizing power, the addition of the yellow robe will give people a justifiable excuse, so it is the most clever seizure of power.

    After Song Taizu's yellow robe was added, he treated the Later Zhou royal family very well, not only allowing them to enjoy glory and wealth, but even their descendants had the right to enjoy such treatment. It can be said that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is very grateful and loyal, he is dedicated to his own country, not a person who really wants to seek power and usurp the throne.

    Chai Rong was a generation of kings at that time, and after his death, his son Chai Zongxun sat on the throne, and Chai Zongxun was still relatively young and did not know any current affairs and did not know how to deal with some problems. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was leading troops to fight the enemy in the north, he thought that the monarch was too young now, even if they made meritorious achievements, the current monarch did not understand that he would not give them any reward. So Zhao Kuangyin told the people closest to him and asked him to spread rumors in the army to make them believe that the current monarch could not give them a reward, so that the soldiers agreed to Zhao Kuangyin to deal with the government and become the monarch.

    The soldiers agreed to this approach after weighing the pros and cons, and Zhao Kuangyin saw that when the time was ripe, he sent someone to drape the yellow robe on his body, but he himself said that he was unwilling to be a monarch because he was afraid that everyone would be disobedient, and he did not show his willingness until he got everyone's promise. So Zhao Kuangyin successfully became the founding monarch of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it can be seen from this incident that he was very scheming.

    After Zhao Kuangyin became the monarch, he did not kill all the people and let Chai Zongxun be bullied, but named Chai Zongxun as King Zheng so that he could enjoy endless glory and wealth. He was also very generous to Chai Zongxun's mother, and promised that he would always enjoy such treatment for their descendants. After Zhao Kuangyin became the monarch, in addition to being very generous to the descendants of the original royal family, he was also very good to the people, ordering his subordinates not to burn and rob them, and they must take good care of the people.

    Although Zhao Kuangyin became the monarch by improper means, he brought a thriving situation after becoming the monarch, which is not a good thing. Zhao Kuangyin was under Chai Rong in his early years, and Chai Rong at that time treated Zhao Kuangyin very well and made him reused. In addition, Zhao Kuangyin is also very loyal, always supported by the side of the monarch at that time, and now treats the Hou Zhou royal family like this, which can be regarded as a kind of repayment.

    Zhao Kuangyin may also think about the future of the country, thinking that the current Chai Zongxun is not suitable to be a monarch, and does not want to see the country decline, so he came up with this strategy to become a monarch.

    I have to say that Zhao Kuangyin is really a benevolent king, and he arranged Chai Rong's descendants properly. The mother and son moved to Fangzhou and spent more than a few years in peace.

    It is said that when Zhao Kuangyin mutinied in Chenqiao, his subordinates put a yellow robe on him and supported him as the emperor, so there is a saying that the yellow robe is added. In different dynasties, the color of the dragon robe is different, for example, the dragon robe of the Qin and Han dynasties is black, the dragon robe of the Song Dynasty is red, and the dragon robe of the Ming and Qing dynasties is yellow. The factor that determines the color of the dragon robe is the Five Virtues said.

    For example, the Song Dynasty advocated fire virtue and chose the color of fire red, and the Ming Dynasty pursued soil virtue, and the color of the dragon robe was yellow.

    Because of the admiration of fire virtue, the dragon robe of the Song Dynasty was red, which is something that has been recorded in history. WhileThe yellow robe and the dragon robe of Chen Qiao's mutiny are actually not the same connotation. The yellow robe represents the success of the uprising, and the dragon robe means the monarch.

    In different periods, the robes on Zhao Kuangyin's body can be of different colors. When he rebelled, he wore a yellow robe, and when he ascended the throne, Zhao Kuangyin may feel that the yellow robe of the uprising is not auspicious enough, so he may have chosen red as the color of the dragon robe. This is determined by a lot of subjective factors.

    In addition to the reason for the meaning, some people think that the so-called yellow robe is actually made up by later generations. Because the culture of the Ming and Qing dynasties tended to be civilian, many markets arose. In addition, the dragon robe in the Ming and Qing dynasties was yellow, and some people think that this story is clearly derived from the later generations, not historical facts.

    But just by relying on the rise of ** in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the yellow dragon robe in the Ming and Qing dynasties, can it be shown that the story of the yellow robe is apocryphal? The evidence is not sufficient.

    To sum up, the addition of the yellow robe may be an apocryphal story, or it may be that Zhao Kuangyin felt that the yellow robe of the uprising and the red dragon robe of the enthronement were not the same concept, so he chose red as the color of the dragon robe. Of course, the dragon robe is one of the symbols of the king, and Zhao Kuangyin, as the founding emperor, why he used fire virtue and red, it still depends on the research of historians, and it is very likely to be wrong just by thinking about it.

    Since ancient times, yellow has been the color of the emperor, but the emperor has many other different civilian clothes in addition to the clothes of the previous dynasty. In addition to the court clothes, which were fixed yellow, the casual clothes could be red, black or other colors preferred by the emperor. At that time, when Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiaoyi mutinied, the soldiers prepared a yellow dragon robe, and there was indeed such a thing, so it was said that it was a yellow robe.

    The regular clothes of the kings of the Song Dynasty are indeed red, and the saying that the yellow robe is added actually comes from the ** era of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

    Song Taizu added a yellow robe in 960 AD.

    On the first day of the first month of 960 AD, it was rumored that the Khitan soldiers would go south to attack Zhou, and the prime minister Fan Zhen and others did not distinguish the authenticity, so he hurriedly sent Zhao Kuangyin to lead the troops to the north to resist the enemy. The Zhou army marched to Chenqiaoyi, Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu conspired to launch a mutiny, and the generals put yellow robes on Zhao Kuangyin and supported him as emperor. Subsequently, Zhao Kuangyin led the army back to Kaifeng, and the guards of the capital, Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi, opened the city to welcome Zhao Kuangyin into the city and coerced Emperor Zhou Gong to take the throne.

    After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he changed the name of the country to "Song", and still set the capital of Kaifeng. Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Zhang Lingduo, Wang Xianqi, Zhang Guanghan, and Zhao Yanhui were all awarded the title of envoy of the festival.

    It's really meaningless to tangle the belt without a yellow robe, there must be a lot of cloth like the yellow flag, although it may not be good to make it now, but the time must be in time!

    Some people are entangled in the yellow robe itself every day, but they don't know the conditions for rebellion! Do you think you can do it if you want to? Do you think that if you have military power, you will definitely be able to oppose it?

    Do you think you're the only one in the world? There are not a lot of people to support you, if you want to rebel, you will make a rebellion, and then a large number of generals will wait to quell the rebellion, take your head to receive a reward or even claim the emperor yourself! Just because Zhao Kuangyin rebelled and became the emperor, it means that the throne is not stable at all, so don't care about the yellow robe and black robe!
