Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Soul Returns to Luoyang River

But anyway, the night of October 20, AD 976 passed, and time...continued to flow, not stopped for a moment by anyone's death. Zhao Kuangyin died, Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, the world's wealthiest power suddenly changed, but everything remained calm.In the records of "Song History", it is clearly recorded that "in the winter of the ninth year of Kaibao, in the winter of October, Kuichou, the Taizu died, and the emperor became the emperor." It was as simple as that, Zhao Kuangyin died, and his second brother Zhao Guangyi became the emperor, there was no strangeness, mystery, and no one had any objections or unusual actions.

Because, immediately followed by "amnesty, those who do not agree with the regular amnesty will be eliminated with salt." After that, "the ministers express their request to listen to the government", but Zhao Guangyi "forbidden", "Prime Minister Xue Juzheng and others firmly ask", Zhao Guangyi reluctantly agreed--" Nai Xu", and from now on, "move to the Imperial Palace of Changchun". He is a legitimate emperor. As for Zhao Kuangyin, the last imprint on him in the world is "The ministers visited the East Ying of the Long Live Hall, mourning and dying." It was just a cry.The next step is to discuss how to bury him, and that is extremely simple. It has been implemented in China for thousands of years. It is a complete set of standardized procedures. It is really easy.

Give Zhao Kuangyin the temple name, "Taizu", no matter what, no one can deny that he created the Song Dynasty by himself; give him a posthumous title, saying: "Emperor of Yingwu, Shengwen, Shende." The conclusion of his coffin in "Song History" is-"Five seasons are extremely chaotic, Song Taizu rose from Jiezhou, and practiced the position of Ninth Five-Year. He originally won the country, and Jin, Han, and Zhou are also very different ?And issued orders, the famous generals, bowed their heads and obeyed orders, and the four countries were leveled one after another. This is not easy to cause by human resources. Since the founding of Long, the military power of the feudal towns has been released, and the corrupt officials have paid attention to the law, so as to stop the source of chaos. State and county ministers , down to Linglu, Muzhi, bowing to the right. Working in agriculture and learning, careful punishment and restraint, resting with the world, as far as Peping. Governance is successful, rituals and music. During the ten or seven years of his reign, and The foundation of more than three hundred years, handed down to descendants, and the world has rules. So three generations came down, researched and declared the governance of cultural relics, the style of morality, benevolence and righteousness, Song, Han, and Tang, and there was no way for them. Woohoo, the king of entrepreneurship If the scale is large, it can be said to be too far away!"

The above text is taken from "Song History Taizu Benji". It seems that he is trying his best to sing the praises of Zhao Kuangyin, but the ancients' writing is exquisite, especially this article was written by the people of the Yuan Dynasty. Playful.For example, "Research on the governance of cultural relics, the style of morality, benevolence and righteousness, Song Yu Han, Tang Dynasty, there is no way to cover it." It only talked about the governance of cultural relics, the style of morality, benevolence and righteousness, but did not mention the great governance of martial arts.This seems to be understandable, who made the Song Dynasty suffer a crushing defeat in martial arts?Most of the government system of the Song Dynasty, especially the military system, was created by Zhao Kuangyin, and it was consistent and unchanged for three hundred years.

As the victor of the Yuan Dynasty, it seems to be very kind to be able to say such a thing.But is that really the case? But there is no need to argue in detail. The author has reluctantly recorded Zhao Kuangyin's life in the above. The right and wrong are twists and turns, the stalwart is humble, and I believe that all justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. Therefore, each of us has a light and dark in our hearts. Mixed, but tolerant and fraternal Zhao Kuangyin.that's enough.As for his 1000-year-old crimes, whether he laid the foundation for the Song Dynasty to be poor and weak, but there is no way to make a conclusion.

Because his life was terminated suddenly, the national fortune, power, and policy of the Song Dynasty also took a sudden turn, which even brought the fate of our entire nation into an unpredictable situation. And these all kicked off with Zhao Kuangyin's sudden death.If he didn't die, if he lived a few more years, would things still be like this? This is a desperate conjecture, destined to have no answer... At that time, no one could predict this.Everyone scrambled to wipe away their tears and gather around the new emperor for the next round of power games. After October 21, 976 AD, Zhao Kuangyin's cold body lay in a coffin and was placed alone in a corner of the palace. He would not be transported until the next spring, April 27, 977. Luoyang, buried in a mausoleum chosen by himself.

When he died, it was snowing heavily and the sky was freezing cold. When he was buried in the ground, his hometown Luoyang was full of spring and catkins were flying... A new year has begun, and history has also opened a new chapter. Page.
