Zhao Kuangyin obviously robbed the throne of the Later Zhou Guo family, why did the later generation

This is because of Zhao Kuangyin.

The time of usurping power is the next week.

The person in power has been changed to the Chai family. The founder of this regime in the Later Zhou Dynasty was Guo Wei.

This man was officially proclaimed emperor in 951. Guo Wei died of illness after only about three years of reign, and after his death, the throne of Later Zhou was replaced by Chai Rong, who was his adopted son.

Inherit. The reason why Guo Wei passed on the country he worked so hard to to his adopted son of the opposite sex was because he had no biological son to inherit the throne. When Guo Wei was still serving in the Later Han court, his two biological sons were killed by Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty.

After that, Guo Wei had no heirs. <>

As for Guo Wei's adopted son, this person's name is Chai Rong, and he is the nephew of Guo Wei's original wife Chai. This Chai family never had children after marrying Guo Wei, so she later adopted Chai Rong who came to her as her adopted son, and Guo Wei also loved this adopted son very much. After Guo Wei died in 954, Chai Rong, who was his only heir, succeeded to the throne by virtue of his edict, and was Zhou Shizong.

Since Zhou Shizong's accession to the throne, although the name of the Later Zhou regime has not changed, its rulers have changed from the Guo family to the Chai family.

And Zhao Kuangyin, who had been fighting with Guo Wei since 948, was very important during the reign of Zhou Shizong. It is precisely because he was reused that he was in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The status and power of the church will gradually be improved. When the time developed to 959, Chai Rong suddenly fell ill while going out to fight. After he returned to the capital Kaifeng, Zhao Kuangyin was immediately promoted to the front of the palace, and his eldest son Chai Zongxun.

He was named King of Liang.

Not long after, Chai Rong died of illness, and the throne of the Later Zhou Dynasty was inherited by Chai Zongxun. <>

At that time, Chai Zongxun was only seven years old, so Zhao Kuangyin, who held the military power, took the opportunity to usurp the throne and seize power. Zhao Kuangyin did not continue to use the country name "Zhou" after the yellow robe was added, but established a new regime with "Song" as the country name. Although Zhao Kuangyin seized the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty, it was the Later Zhou Dynasty headed by the Chai family, so Zhao Kuangyin and the later generations of the Song Dynasty would treat the Chai family well in every way.

It was the emperor of the Song Dynasty in order to show his benevolence to the previous dynasty. It is more justifiable to enthrone yourself. And this Chai family is not the Chai family before.

The main reason is to stabilize people's hearts, want to improve their status in people's hearts, and carry forward their thoughts, so they will treat the Chai family preferentially.

The emperor at that time wanted to have a good reputation, and the emperor at that time treated the Chai family well in order to show his benevolence.

In this way, there are two main reasons: first, Chai Rong is very capable and better than Zhao Kuangyin; The second is that Chai Rong does not die, and Zhao Kuangyin has no chance to be the emperor. Next, Jincheng Muyu and everyone will take a look at the historical situation at that time.

Chai Rong was Guo Wei's right-hand man at a young age, helping Guo Wei deal with various complex affairs, and showed strong ability during this period. During his tenure in Lanzhou, Chai Rong managed Lanzhou in an orderly manner and made outstanding political achievements.

When he became the emperor, Chai Rong was only in his early thirties, and he was young and vigorous, and he planned to make great achievements. At that time, Chai Rong set the ambition of "ten years to open up the world, ten years to support the people, and ten years to peace". In order to realize this ambition, Chai Rong made great efforts to reorganize the army, the people became rich, and the economy of the north after the war was quickly restored.

Subsequently, Chai Rong led his troops to fight in the south and the north, and began the work of national reunification.

Defeating Houshu in the southwest, marching south to the Southern Tang Dynasty three times, and seizing a large area of land in the north of the Huainan River, greatly weakened the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty and laid the foundation for later unification. To the north, the living space of the Northern Han Dynasty was continuously compressed, and the places occupied by the Liao State were captured, and at one time he planned to fully recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. It's a pity that when he was about to recover Youzhou, Chai Rong suddenly fell ill and could only return to the court, and died soon after.

Zhao Kuangyin is also a monarch who can be civil and martial, however, his ability is far less than Chai Rongda, and in the subsequent unification of the great cause, the speed of unification was slowed down. Later, Zhao Kuangyin's "cup of wine to release military power" cut the military generals' military power, although the Five Dynasties period avoided the situation of self-respect for the army, but the Song Dynasty also embarked on the road of military incompetence. Compared with Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin is still much worse.

Zhao Kuangyin was able to "add a yellow robe", a big reason is that after Chai Rong's death, the young Chai Zongxun could not suppress Zhao Kuangyin, who held the military power, and finally announced his abdication after Zhao Kuangyin's "yellow robe", Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty and became the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.

If Chai Rong does not die, Zhao Kuangyin will not have a chance to "add to the yellow robe" at all, even if he becomes the emperor, he is not Chai Rong's opponent, and he is likely to end up in defeat and death.

I think that if Chai Rong does not die, the possibility of Zhao Kuangyin establishing the Great Song Dynasty is very low, because Chai Rong's strength in all aspects is very good, and he created his own kingdom at a young age, and provided very good advice on the construction of the kingdom and the policies of the people, I think he is very good in all aspects.

If this person doesn't die, then Zhao Kuangyin is very likely to not be able to establish the Great Song Dynasty, and he will not be able to have such a successful performance.

I think so, it's the general trend. Zhao Kuangyin is the emperor chosen by everyone, and he is also the desire of the people.

The Chai family has the grace of knowing him and winning people's hearts.

Zhao Kuangyin. The reason why he didn't kill the descendants of the Chai family was even the emperor Chai Zongxun at that time.

They didn't kill it, but raised it in Luling for the following three reasons. The first is because the Chai family has the grace of knowing him. We now all know that no matter what kind of kindness it is, as long as it is a kindness, we must repay it.

Because of the wisdom of the ancestors of the Chai family, he was able to take charge of the soldiers, and only when he was in charge of the soldiers could he have the conditions for a yellow robe.

The second reason is that Zhao Kuangyin wants the generals who follow him to know that he will not even kill the descendants of the royal family, so those who are helpful to him on the throne will definitely be given preferential treatment, so that they can relax and be at ease.

The third reason is for small countries. Zhao Kuangyin overthrew the Northern Zhou.

After the establishment of the regime, the Song Dynasty could not immediately relax after sitting on the throne, because the Song Dynasty was not the only regime in the whole of China at that time, there were many other regimes, Zhao Kuangyin's hand was equivalent to telling those regimes that you should surrender boldly and boldly, and after surrendering, there was no need to worry about your life and glory and wealth, so everyone surrendered numbly.

Who is Zhao Kuangyin?

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin (March 21, 927, November 14, 976), nicknamed Xiang Child. A native of Zhuo County, he was born in Jiamaying, Luoyang (now Dongguan, Qianhe District, Luoyang City, Henan Province). Five dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty.

In his early years, he was a military strategist, politician, strategist, and the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. After the week.

The Protector of the Holy Capital commanded Song Xuanzu.

Zhao Hongyin's second son, his mother is the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian.

Zhao Kuangyin is still very kind to the descendants of the Chai family, let the Chai mother and son go to Fangzhou, and gave them privileges, so that the crimes of the descendants of the Chai family will not affect the family in the future, even if it is a crime of rebellion, they cannot be punished, and they are allowed to commit suicide.

Zhao Kuangyin was very generous to the descendants of the Chai family, and Chai Zongxun was named King Zheng by Zhao Kuangyin and was moved to Fangzhou, hereditary replacement. And left the ancestral teaching, the descendants of the Chai family cannot use punishment if they violate the law, even if it is a major crime of rebellion, they can only be given death in prison, and they cannot be punished in public, nor can they be punished by other family members.

They should be under house arrest, because they know Zhao Kuangyin's secret, so they will definitely not let them tell it.

Because he has a huge relationship with the other party, and because of the help of the other party, he will have such an effect, so he will treat the Chai family preferentially.

It is out of certain political considerations, which can make one's position more stable and can also enhance one's reputation.

Some of the sons left by Chai Rong died of illness, and the surviving ones were treated favorably by Zhao Kuangyin, named the prince, went to live in Xijing, and were given privileges.

Chai Rong's emperor's son was ousted from the throne and named King Zheng, Zhao Kuangyin did not give him **, but treated him very well. Chai Rong's other sons were also properly placed by Zhao Kuangyin and were able to die well.

was knighted, but he just didn't give power, just money, because he was afraid that he would do something.
