Song Dynasty Chai King background

Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong.

October 27, 921 July 27, 959), trade name unknown, was a native of Yaoshan, Xingzhou (present-day Longyao County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province). Second emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period (reigned for 6 years in 954 959).

His grandfather, Chai Weng, and his father, Chai Shouli, were local nobles. Since childhood, he has been in Guo Wei.

The parents were big, cautious and generous, and became Guo Wei's adopted son. The appearance is strange, good at riding and shooting, and he knows a little about the history of Huang Lao.

Heavy and silent. When he was young, he was in Gangneung with the merchant Jieqiu.

Selling tea, I have some experience of social evils.

In the first year of Guangshun (951), Guo Wei established the Hou Zhou Dynasty and appointed Chai Rong to govern Lanzhou. In the first year of Xiande (954), Guo Wei died, and Chai Rong ascended the throne as emperor. During his reign, he reorganized the army and trained soldiers, eliminated redundancy, appeased exiles, and reduced taxes.

After the Zhou Dynasty, the politics were clear, the people were prosperous, and the economy of the Central Plains began to recover.

fought in the south and in the north, defeated Houshu in the west, and captured Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jie; South destroys South Tang.

14 states in Jiangbei and Huainan; Breaking the Khitan in the north.

Lianke two states and three passes. In the sixth year of Xiande, he discussed the capture of Youzhou.

Time to fall ill. He died soon after, at the age of thirty-nine, the temple name Sejong, the name of Emperor Ruiwu Xiaowen, and was buried in Qingling.

Guo Wei did not have a son, but he was killed when he rebelled.

I would like to say that there is no such so-called Chai King in history. Not to mention the Song Dynasty, there was no King Chai as a king in all dynasties. If it is a TV work or anime, please indicate the specific name of the TV work, good reference, what character is this "Chai King" based on,

Later Zhou was built by Guo Weibai, all Kaifeng. In the first month of the first year of Zhou Xiande (954), Guo Wei died of illness and was succeeded by his adopted son Chai Rong (nephew of Empress Chai and a native of Xingtai). Sejong Chai Rong trusted Zhao Kuangyin very much and promoted Zhao to be inspected before the palace.

After the death of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, Emperor Gong ascended the throne. In the first year of Jianlong (960), Zhao Kuangyin, in the name of "calming the two states", lied that the Khitan united the Northern Han Dynasty invaded the south, led the troops to the battle, launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, and added the yellow robe, proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Zhou, and established the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Song Dynasty was originally surnamed Chai!

Because Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin took over the country from Chai Rong's hands. Therefore, the Song Dynasty belonged to the Chai family. And after Zhao Kuangyin succeeded to the throne, he also took the Chai family as well. The word of the Great Song Dynasty is the king side by side.

In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin added a yellow robe and seized the world of the Hou Zhou Chai family. Zhao Kuangyin is the mouth of the people of the world, he named the seven-year-old little emperor Chai Zongxun as the king of Zheng, and respected the Empress Dowager Fu as the Empress Dowager of Zhou, in order to continue the fireworks of the Zhou room.

Three years later, Chai Zongxun was relocated to Fangzhou. Fangzhou, known as Fangling in ancient times, is located in the mountains of northwest Hubei and is one of the most famous penal colonies in history. From this, it can be seen that Chai Zongxun is just a canary in a cage at most.

A few years later, 20-year-old Chai Zongxun died here. After his death, the Empress Dowager Fu became a monk named Yuqing Zen Master, in October of the fourth year of Chunhua (993), the Empress Dowager Fu, after the Song Dynasty, was buried in Yiling, accompanied by his sister in the northwest.

The New History of the Five Dynasties said that Zhou Shizong Chai Rong had a total of seven sons, "the elder is called Brother Yi, the second is unnamed, the second is Emperor Gong, the second is Xirang, the second is Xijin, and the second is Xizhu." Brother Yi and the two are both Han Zhu"; In the second year of Song Qiande (964), "Xi died carefully, Xi let and Xi did not know what to do".

So far, Chai Rong's direct descendants have either died early or disappeared. Only one child was adopted by Pan Mei, and later made quite a difference.

Until the fourth year of Jiayou (1059 AD), Song Renzong ordered to find the Chai family tree, find the longest person from the side branches of the Chai family, give a certain treatment, and he and his descendants assume the responsibility of enshrined the Later Zhou royal family.

Therefore, the Chai family did not live a rich and noble life as some ** said, and the children and grandchildren were hereditary princes The life of the descendants of the Chai family was very hard, and Chai Rong's sons died inexplicably.

However, compared to the descendants of the king of the dead country, the Chai family is not bad, many emperors in history have cut the grass and eradicated the roots of the king of the dead country, and Zhao Kuangyin is still more merciful.

The Song family's country was taken from the Chai family.

In the wild history, Chai Rong seems to be Zhao Kuangyin's eldest brother.

The Chenqiao Mutiny, which is an allusion, is a military coup d'état planned by Zhao Kuangyin to seize power in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

In 959 AD, in the sixth year of the Later Zhou Xiande, Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Shizong died of illness, and the successor Emperor Gong was only seven years old, so the politics were unstable at that time. In 960 AD, on the first day of the first month of the seventh year of the Later Zhou Xiande, the news of a large-scale invasion by the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty suddenly came. The Empress Dowager Fu, who was in charge at that time, was a female streamer, and she had no opinions, and when she heard about this, she was at a loss for what to do, and finally deigned to ask for help from the prime minister, and the majesty of the royal family was gone.

Fan Zhen secretly thought that only Zhao Kuangyin, the general of the DPRK, could save the crisis, but Zhao Kuangyin shirked the number of major generals and could not fight. Fan Zhen had to entrust Zhao Kuangyin with the highest military power, and he could mobilize soldiers and horses across the country.

A few days later, Zhao Kuangyin led his army out of Tokyo City (present-day Kaifeng, Henan) and marched to Chenqiaoyi (present-day Chenqiao Town, southeast of Fengqiu, Henan). At that time, not long after the army left, there was a rumor in the city of Tokyo that Zhao Kuangyin would become the Son of Heaven, and I don't know who spread this rumor, but most people didn't believe it, and the Chinese military officials of the DPRK also knew a little bit about it, and no one dared to believe it, but they were already panicking. Although Zhao Kuangyin was not in the court at this time, he knew everything that happened in Tokyo City, and this was also his masterpiece.

When Zhou Shizong was in power, he used this tactic to make Zhang Yongde, the concubine, be removed from the post of inspection in front of the palace and be taken over by him. Zhao Kuangyin knew the emperor's psychology, and he was afraid that his country would be taken away, so they were very suspicious. This repetition was intended to cause panic in the court and leave his army with no choice but to obey him absolutely.

And in the place of Chen Qiaoyi, Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi (that is, later Song Taizong Zhao) and Zhao Pu, the secretary of the German army, instructed the soldiers to add yellow robes to Zhao Kuangyin and proclaimed him emperor. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin led the army back to Kaifeng, forced Emperor Gong to take the throne, easily seized the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and changed the name of the country"Song", establishing the Zhao and Song dynasties.

After the Chen Qiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

For the descendants of the Chai family in the previous dynasty, Zhao did not kill him, but still treated him well, and set three ancestral precepts for the later emperors in the Taimiao.

1 The children of the Chai clan shall not be punished for any crime, but if they commit rebellion, they shall be given all in prison, and they shall not be killed, nor shall they be joined by their subordinates.

2 Thou shalt not kill a priest, or a man who writes or speaketh.

3 Whoever has this oath to his descendants will be destroyed by heaven.

For thousands of years, only the Zhao and Song dynasties treated the widows of the previous dynasties so favorably.

In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin replaced the Later Zhou through the Chenqiao Mutiny, forcing the Later Zhou Gong Emperor Chan to give the throne to Zhao Kuangyin, and after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he demoted Chai Zongxun to King Zheng and moved to Fangzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin promulgated a holy decree to give preferential treatment to the emperor's mother and son, and gave the Chai family the "Danshu Iron Coupon" (gold medal for avoiding death), ensuring that the descendants of the Chai family will always enjoy wealth and prosperity, and even if they commit crimes, they will not be punished.

Zhao Kuangyin later left three testaments on a stone tablet, one of which is that the descendants of the Chai family are guilty and must not be punished.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty basically abided by the oath and testament, and it can be proved from the coexistence of the descendants of the Chai family with the Song Dynasty, as well as the fact that the ** who lost power in the old and new party struggles was not killed, and may return from deposition as the political situation evolves.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was originally a general of the forbidden army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was supported by his subordinates in Chenqiao and became the emperor. The Chai family is the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin named the Chai family as a nobleman after sitting in the country, and named the head of the family as the hereditary King Zheng, and also gave him a gold medal for avoiding death. He passed down the ancestral precept that he should treat the Chai family well to the emperors of the past dynasties, and not use criminal law to the descendants of the Chai family.

The Chai officials in the Water Margin are the descendants of the Chai family, so they dare to protect so many people who have committed crimes.
