The mystery of Song Taizu s death? The mystery of Song Taizu s death?

Song Taizu died suddenly, but the mystery of Song Taizu's death has not been solved to this day, because there is no historical record to study.

Mysterious death: On the night of October 19, 976 (the ninth year of Kaibao), Zhao Kuangyin summoned his brother Zhao Guangyi to drink and stay in the palace together; In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Kuangyin died violently at the age of 50.

On April 25, 977 (the second year of Taiping Xingguo), he was buried in Yongchang Mausoleum (located in Gongyi, Zhengzhou). In 1008 A.D. (the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu), plus the respect for Qiyun Liji, Yingwu Ruiwen, Shende and Shenggong to Emperor Ming Daxiao.

Regarding Zhao Kuangyin's death, the saying that "Xiangshan Yelu" has "the sound of candle shadow axe" is popular in the world, and it is believed that Zhao Kuangyin is Zhao Guangyi, who intends to usurp the throne**.

In order to justify his accession to the throne, Zhao Guangyi put forward the unprecedented "Golden Kui Alliance", saying that Zhao Kuangyin promised his mother Empress Dowager Du before his death that he would pass on the throne to Guangyi in the future.

His sudden death and early death became a major mystery in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the cause of his death is also disputed.

There is a saying that in the era of the death of the father and the succession of the son, there is always a little bit of something wrong with the brother and the brother.

I think he killed him. Reason: died young; Zhao Kuangyin, who was in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period and was deaf and clear-sighted, died violently overnight?

is a good man, why is it said that if it is gone? The second child of the Zhao family, approaching the New Year, hurriedly changed the yuan, a little anxious, it was no longer in line with the practice of changing the yuan the next year. The night before the death of the eldest of the Zhao family, the weather was extremely cold, he drank with Zhao Guangyi, and the two brothers drank until late at night; Zhao Guangyi, who was not supposed to stay in the inner court, stayed by the emperor's side.

Why did it take a few years to come out after the fact, "Jinkui Pre-Alliance" is a bit of an afterthought, and I am afraid that others will not know. There is no cat, why did he force his brother and nephew to death.

It is impossible to "not want his Zhao family's country to be taken away, and his prince at that time was also young, so he passed on his brother Zhao Guangyi". Everyone is selfish, and of course the good things are left to the son. It should be that the younger brother is unwilling to only be the prince, and he also works hard in the Zhao family, of course he thinks that he should be the emperor.

The elder brother would not pass on the throne to him, so he took it himself.

There are several possibilities. There is only one truth. It is that there is a family genetic disease, drinking too much alcohol, and dying of cerebral hemorrhage.

"Candlelight Axe Shadow" is a literary creation, similar to the "East Window Incident" of Qin Hui and his wife. There is also the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that has great influence. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the history book.

For example, it is Zhou Yu who "borrows the east wind"; Similar to "straw boats borrowing arrows" is Sun Quan; The "empty city plan" is pure fiction. There are too many examples, and the Yang family makes the story purely fictional; There is no such character as Mu Guiying in the Yang family.

This is a mystery, and the candlelight axe shadow is the most likely.

The candle shadow is suspicious: Wen Ying's "Continuation of Xiangshan Yelu" records that "but under the shadow of the candle from afar, Taizong may avoid the banquet and be invincible." Drinking, forbidden to leak three drums, the snow in the palace has been a few inches, the emperor led the pillar axe to poke the snow, Gu Taizong said:

Good to do, good to do! Then he took off his belt and went to bed, and his snort was like thunder. On the eve of the night, Taizong stayed in the forbidden place, with five drums, and the servants were silent, and the emperor had collapsed.

Taizong was edicted to ascend the throne in front of the coffin. I don't know if the above is true, but if you look closely, you can see some clues. At that time, Taizu and Taizong were drinking, and Taizong sometimes avoided the table and refused to drink, why did he refuse to drink the wine that Taizu gave him?

The emperor led the pillar axe to poke the snow and said: Good to do! Well done!

Why is that? Historian analysis: Taizong doesn't drink, because the wine is poisonous, so he shirks, Taizu and Taizong give each other a prevarication, a toast, so the candle shadow is shaking!

The emperor led the pillar axe to poke the snow, and it was the author Wen Ying who implied with a subtle prophecy that Taizong killed Taizu (Wen Ying is a Song person, so naturally she will not be so blatant and expose the matter of Taizong and Taizu's candle shadow) Of course, it is just a possibility.
