Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Zhao Gou finally died

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Yan announced his abdication and became the Supreme Emperor. Since ancient times, there has been only the Supreme Emperor, but no wife.Zhao Yan has been upgraded, so the person above him can only ascend to heaven.That's right, two years ago, at the end of October 8th in the fourteenth year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1187), Zhao Gou died. This "person" finally died, how long, how long, how long!Zhao Gou lived to be eighty-one years old.Every Chinese should remember that under his rule, China fell into unprecedented darkness and frustration.

Life is better than death. The entire era has become oppressive, cowardly, shameless, and cruel because of this person's cowardice, shamelessness, and cruelty.What kind of fate is this, that such a freak suddenly appeared in the Chinese nation! Review Zhao Gou's death process.Just like fish that eat fish and beasts that eat animals are particularly able to endure, Zhao Gou died procrastinatingly and grindingly.When this person fell ill, he was celebrating his wife's birthday. He had been eating and drinking from morning to afternoon. He felt unwell, so he took out the medicine and continued to eat and drink.

When Zhao Gou took the medicine, he was very amazing. He "took forty pills of Chenniu pills in one go, how can others do it".And this is his health care method, eating continuously for many years. Afterwards, all the famous doctors in Lin'an were assembled to prescribe medicine for him. Anyway, he could take it, and he could swallow three or four more thoughtful medicines, until his internal organs were weak, his limbs could not move, his neck was stuck and he was breathless. Died very helplessly. Death is not the end.First of all, the doctors will be unlucky, and they will all be boarded and exiled; secondly, the money bank will be unlucky. Building Zhao Gou’s grave cost close to a million guan, all of which was added to the people near Yongsiling in Kuaiji County, Shaoxing Prefecture, including the food for the construction workers.Among them, the inspectors from the palace "broke 400 catties of mutton per meal, and it was especially difficult for Pansuo, for example, a frog would cost dozens of catties."

Wait, and so on, Zhao Gou's wife was not happy, because the team when the coffin was buried was not luxurious enough, the old woman was furious: "After I turn 100, only four people will carry the board!" Zhao Yan was ashamed and wished he could carry the coffin by himself. After seeing off Zhao Gou in a lively manner, it seemed that Zhao Yan could finally fulfill his dream easily and freely.Looking back over the years, twenty-five years to be precise, his passionate and high-spirited ideals have been firmly suppressed, and this time he can finally soar into the sky! Even the greater the pressure and the stronger the flexibility, he will definitely accomplish the task of revitalizing the Song Dynasty by a hundred times and a thousand times the efforts of the Longxing era!

It's just a logic.To some extent, the human world is a scrapped gravitational field, and the force turns around at any time, and it will never only run in the so-called correct direction. After being suppressed for twenty-five years, what is more likely to happen than the strong rebound mentioned above is to get used to it.After Zhao Gou's death, Zhao Yun's first decision was to keep a filial piety for his father for three years without compromise. He is an emperor, he can simplify things, there is no need to torture himself like this.Moreover, none of the Song emperors in the past has been filial to their father for the past three years like the filial sons of the people.

Zhao Yan wanted to do this, no matter who persuaded him, it was useless, he had to complete the last bit of respect for his father.Then keep it. Anyway, people who have been suppressed for too long are used to being forced. If you must let him be free, flying, and free and easy, he will still not adapt. Three years is a long time and many things will happen.Even a noble person like Zhao Yan who is determined and vowed to eliminate all obstacles to be a filial piety for his father can't stay still and stick to one heart. In the second year, he announced his abdication edict, promoted himself to the Supreme Emperor, and made his son emperor.As for why, the Southern Song Dynasty officials have various explanations.Such as age theory.

In 1189 AD, Zhao Yun was sixty-three years old.Among the emperors of the two Song Dynasties, except for his father Zhao Gou, he was a unique senior emperor. Whether it was Taizu, Taizong, or Renzong, none of them had been in power for as long as him.But the way of filial piety is broad and profound, and it is unimaginable to study it to the extreme, and it will extend to the dead. Who said that filial piety is filial piety to the living?To be filial to all ancestors is in place!One of them is that the descendants should maintain sufficient respect for the ancestors in the past, and be humble in everything.

You can't live longer than your ancestors, you can't live better than your ancestors, especially in terms of work performance, you must never surpass them!Practical examples, in modern algebra, there is Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, who must become the Supreme Emperor after he has been in power for sixty years, claiming that he must never exceed the work record of his grandfather Kangxi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty; in Song algebra, Zhao Wei is a famous representative, he It's really embarrassing to live longer than my ancestors, especially if I can still live to work.

These are all false, the real reason lies in the north.Wanyan Yong of the Kingdom of Jin died, and his successor was called Wanyan Jing.Jing is Yong's grandson, and according to the terms of Song and Jinlong's peace negotiations, Zhao Min had to be called Uncle Yong. At this time, Jing ascended the throne, and the title of uncle had to continue. Jing is only twenty-two years old this year! The sixty-three-year-old Zhao Yun must be called the twenty-two-year-old Jurchen young uncle, and this uncle is the grandson of the previous uncle. If this continues, how far will Zhao Yun's seniority decline?

It is tolerable or unbearable.You must know that Zhao Yan has super self-esteem that he can't even accept the book ceremony, how can he accept such a humiliating position.So, he had to give up the throne to his son, and hide himself in the old house in Wangxianqiao to hang out. Such a retreat from the world and abdication is also unexpected and reasonable.It's okay to think about it, anyway, the blood that was once hot many years ago has already cooled down, why bother to suffer in this high position?It also caused the descendants to be old men when they naturally ascended the throne.

In fact, his crown prince was really not young at this time, he was a 49-year-old young and middle-aged cadre. Tell me more about Zhao Yan's family.First of all, he is an excellent husband, which is as rare as Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty who unified China for the second time.Yang Jian had only one official wife, Empress Dugu, and all his children were born and raised by this woman, so he was always proud to say that there would never be any fratricide in his family, and they were all of the same father, mother, and milk. what! The same is true for Zhao Yan. Zhao Yun had three sons, all born to Empress Guo, namely the eldest son Zhao Xin, the second son Zhao Kai, and the third son Zhao Dun.After Zhao Yun proclaimed himself emperor, he was granted the titles of King Deng, King Qing, and King Gong respectively. Since ancient times, the princes have been established first and then the elders and then the virtuous.According to this order, the eldest son Zhao Shu did his part, but the Southern Song Dynasty had no crown prince for a long time.This matter is very abnormal, but it is easy to understand, it is because of Zhao Yan's impeccable filial piety. He is not Gou Gou's own son, and Zhao Gou is full of guilt to be the emperor in Zhao Gou's lifetime, so if he passes the throne to his son early, can he still call himself a human being? Zhao Yun's three sons dragged on like this, all of them grew up from teenagers to young adults, and got married. It was not until Zhao Yun's grandson was born that they could be regarded as competing for a high or low status.That is the famous event of clock speed in the delivery room in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was the first day of July in the first year of Qiandao in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1165).The eldest son of the eldest son of the emperor, Zhao Shu, was born, and the Prince Deng's Mansion reported to the court in an official document, proving that the child was the eldest son of the eldest son, that is, the eldest grandson of the emperor's eldest son. This is a great joy and complies with legal procedures. The whole country was about to celebrate, but it was suddenly interrupted.The third prince objected, saying that the son of him and the concubine Li had been born two months ago, and the name was even chosen, Zhao Ting, so this is the eldest grandson of the emperor. But why didn't it report to the imperial court?Faced with this problem, Prince Kung's Mansion ignored it, but seized the time to complete the document procedures within the same day.In other words, unless the time is compared, the two grandsons were born on the same day.In any case, Zhao Ting is no less than Deng Wangfu. This is just the beginning. If you want to fight, fight clearly.The next day, the secretary, the young supervisor, and Prince Gong's mansion directly told Wang Huai to go to see Qian Duanli, the political counselor.That's right, it was the peace minister who sold Zhao Yun on the front line when Longxing was negotiating peace.At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty did not have a prime minister for the time being, and he, the political adviser, acted as the prime minister.Wang Huai said to him: "On May 26, Mrs. Li, the wife of Prince Gong, gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor's son. Please discuss the relevant ceremony." Qian Duanli was furious! The prime minister is the head of all the officials, you, the little manager of the prince's mansion, dare to order me what to do, it's really rebellious!In the small area, this is a dog's power, a prince's family and a slave; in the large area, this is deliberately suppressing officialdom, confusing the succession of the Song Dynasty's lineage, and is a felony of deceiving the emperor; The Prime Minister couldn't stand it anymore. Deng Wang's wife's surname is Qian, Qian Duanli's Qian, he is the grandfather of the child just born.The steward of Prince Gong's mansion actually asked him to go through the documents for dismantling his grandson's platform. It was a face-to-face mockery, which could not be tolerated! As a well-known villain who can successfully assassinate the emperor and bring down the country's war preparations, Qian Duanli has a lot of connotations.Instead of being furious in person, he kept the application documents brought by Wang Huai and handed them over to Zhao Yan the next day.He quoted words from the "Book of Rites", the greatest cornerstone of the social system in China's feudal era, to characterize the clock event in the delivery room. The order of the eldest and the younger must not be violated. Under the suppression of this same principle as the law of heaven and earth, the third prince had nothing to say, and he and the most legendary lady in the Southern Song Dynasty behind him were also speechless.Qian Duanli took advantage of the victory to pursue, and two months later, he helped his son-in-law to the crown prince's throne.Zhao Shu won, and the eldest son of the emperor became the crown prince. No one could fault him, even Zhao Gou could only smile and applaud. So far, the configuration of the imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty has finally been perfected. The emperor, emperor, crown prince, and grandson of the emperor are all in good health. It can be said that it is the most prosperous time since the Song Dynasty. It is no longer like the five dynasties of Zhen, Ren, Ying, Shen, and Zhe in the Northern Song Dynasty. They either went crazy in their old age or went crazy in their middle age, and either had children in their old age or had no children in their middle age. The continuation of this situation will undoubtedly bring long-term stability, which is so important to the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhao Yun who are eager to cheer up, and it can be called ZTE's indispensable. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and only lasted for less than two years.The time frame was fixed in the early spring of the third year of Qiandao in the Southern Song Dynasty (1167 A.D.), and the crown prince Zhao Yu went to the original temple to preside over the ceremony of offering incense on the national death day in place of the emperor.Everything went according to the norms. Around noon, the crown prince and his party went home and went to the Gongyuan, which is the examination room for every scientific examination. That day, there was a huge crowd of people in front of the gate of the Gongyuan, and it was blocked.Something must have happened, but for the crown prince and his party, nothing happened. As long as there are no Taishanghuang or emperor in the crowd in front, then this road must be quickly moved aside for the crown prince, and everyone Shan bowed to the side of the road to avoid the road. This is the iron law of the empire, so Jin Wu, who is in the crown prince's guard of honor, raised his stick and scolded him, doing it with confidence.Unexpectedly, the hornet's nest was stabbed at once, and the group of people on the opposite side rushed over, surrounded the crown prince's car, yelling and pushing, causing His Royal Highness to fall into a riot-like passion in an instant. Xin Zhao is a frail man, all his life he likes and respects Confucian figures, he never imagined that he would encounter such an encounter in front of the Gongyuan Gate, one of the holy places of Confucianism and the important place for national scientific examination and talent acquisition. This is really Zhao Shu's misfortune, he passed by here without asking clearly, he was just asking for trouble.This day is the day for the unsuccessful candidates to take the make-up exam, and the group of people who squeezed in front of him, biting their heads like grabbing the last bone, are the legendary bad re-examinees. This group of people has already stood on the edge of the cliff, who can keep calm?At this time, someone ordered them to get out of the way. Apart from swarming up and roaring back with a louder sound wave, do they have a second way to go? This incident once again proved the undeniable truth that the Song Dynasty was a paradise for scholars.The crown prince was yelled out of his wits while driving, and was immediately seriously injured.After returning home, he "succumbed to shock" and couldn't be cured no matter what he did, and unfortunately he suffered a stroke after the summer, so he died. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Southern Song Dynasty ended up aggrieved. The issue of the heir to the empire has surfaced again. It is said that the second prince and the third prince have seen the opportunity again, but there is still the emperor's grandson. right. At this time, the emperor's grandson was very healthy, but the third eldest grandson who competed with the crown prince for the time in the delivery room had died of illness.It can be said that the long house system of the royal family in the Southern Song Dynasty is still strong. Then there is only mischief. Half a year later, the miraculous wife of the third prince Zhao Dun activated again, and she gave birth again, a son, and before she gave birth, she claimed that she had a dream, dreaming that a red sun fell from the sky and fell into her yard, and She was agile and quickly supported the sun with her hands, and then she became pregnant and gave birth. This dream was a huge and glorious tradition in the Song Dynasty. Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi's mother dreamed that a god offered her a red sun, and she accepted it, and she gave birth to the second ancestor of the Song Dynasty; Emperor Zhenzong's mother dreamed of a red sun setting, and she held it with her skirt , gave birth to Zhenzong. Comparing the way of receiving the sun, Zhao Dun's wife used it, which was obviously higher than Zhenzong's mother, and a little worse than Taizong's mother, Mrs. Du.It is conceivable that this child has a very bright future! The child's name is Zhao Kuo. This birth prelude was officially recognized by the Song Dynasty, and the documents were produced and archived to be included in the national history, announcing to the world that this is true!
