Chapter 292: Strange Dynasty

"This person has no malice!" Zhao Bing analyzed and came to this conclusion. This made him even more strange. Most people spread rumors to slander someone, and this person seemed to be helping him get to power. But on the other hand, maybe he wanted to praise and kill him. After all, there is no day and no two masters in the country. He said that he could be literary and martial, and save all sentient beings. Wouldn't he have the intention to buy people's hearts and plans to establish? The emperor could tolerate them, and the people in the court could not tolerate them either!

"No, they must be that they are not giving up!" Zhao Bing thought for a moment and realized that now Chen Yizhong went to Chameng to fight the front station, and the court was about to evacuate Da 6. Then his exile overseas was equivalent to giving up control of the country. Of course, the "knowledgeable people" had to re-elect a person with royal blood to continue leading the war of resistance, and they were their candidates. As for whom he was planning ahead, he could even think of it. Who would not choose someone as wise and powerful as his master? Wouldn't he be obedient?

Zhao Bing seems to have no power to resist their kindness imposed on him, and without their actions, he may really miss the throne...

In the Central Plains dynasty, the succession of the throne is the top priority that concerns the regime. They often attach importance to bloodline and pay attention to the succession of father and son. This is related to the problem of the emperor's family, that is, the royal family system. Once it is not handled properly, the consequences will be quite serious.

But in the Song Dynasty, it was a bit different. After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the singleness and inevitability of the emperor's bloodline were actually very loose. After Zhao Kuangyin's death, his second brother Zhao Guangyi became the emperor. The so-called candle shadow and axe sound, the sound of the Jinkui Alliance, if you do not explore the truth, from the perspective of bloodline, brothers and brothers are still relatively close in blood, and the impact on the inevitability of inheriting the throne was not very great. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor's brothers and brothers and brothers were born more than once.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji also inherited the throne of his elder brother Song Zhezong, but it violated the order of elders and young. Logically speaking, the emperor's brother died and the emperor had no son, so his younger brother could inherit the throne. Zhao Ji was ranked eleven, with the mature ninth brother ahead of him, and the twelfth brother, the thirteenth brother, and the fourteenth brother behind him. In terms of ascending the throne, Zhao Ji should not be the turn of the five brothers. However, because Zhao Ji's ninth brother had a problem with his eyes, Zhao Ji became Song Huizong. Although this factor was not inevitable, it still had an effect at a critical moment.

In addition, there were nephews in the Northern Song Dynasty who inherited the throne of uncle, and Song Yingzong was the nephew of the former emperor Song Renzong. Therefore, from the perspective of the Northern Song Dynasty, the principle of inheriting the throne of the emperor was shown to be relaxed. In the Southern Song Dynasty, this principle was much more lenient.

Since Zhao Guangyi became the emperor, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were all descendants of Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Guangyi, including Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. The son of Song Gaozong died very early and had no sons later. Whoever inherited the throne became a big problem. Song Gaozong's successor Song Xiaozong was the seventh-generation grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. What is this concept? There is a saying in Chinese people that is called "a relative who is inseparable". This is the relationship between Song Xiaozong and Song Gaozong.

For the system of the emperor's hereditary system, which of the emperor's relatives is still relatives, this is an important question. The short-lived dynasty is not a big problem, and the long-lived dynasty is a big problem. The methods of handling this issue in previous dynasties were different. Before the Song Dynasty, the rule of the Tang Dynasty was that the emperor's relatives were considered relatives within the "five wards", and the "five wards" were not considered royal relatives. According to this concept, the blood relationship between Song Xiaozong and Song Gaozong actually also produced the "five wards".

In other dynasties, the later Song Xiaozong should be just a commoner, not even an imperial relative. Besides, Song Gaozong himself was a descendant of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi. In addition to him, Zhao Guangyi, who had a blood relationship with him in his five squads, had other descendants. Therefore, from the perspective of the emperor's blood relationship, it was not the turn of Song Xiaozong, the descendant of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, to inherit the throne. However, such a thing was born. Moreover, no one had any opinions in the Southern Song Dynasty.

What is the reason? From the perspective of Emperor Gaozong of Song, some people say it is his selfish intention, which makes sense. At that time, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured by the Jin people and Heilongjiang. What if the "Two Emperors" come back? Song Huizong, like Song Qinzong and Song Gaozong, are both descendants of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi. Song Gaozong Zhao Gou chose a descendant of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin as the emperor, and actually made a small calculation. Others can probably guess that the emperor's blood has returned to Zhao Kuangyin, so Zhao Guangyi's descendants should not consider the throne anymore.

To a certain extent, the move of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty Zhao Gou was also a kind of defense against the "Two Emperors Hui and Qin" if they came back. Anyway, he had no descendants anymore, and the emperor's bloodline was transferred to Zhao Kuangyin. Even if the "Two Emperors" came back, it would not be easy to say it if they wanted to transfer their bloodline back to Zhao Guangyi's descendants.

This concept of openness to imperial power did not only appear this time in the Southern Song Dynasty. Although Song Ningzong had a son, they all died very early, and who would inherit the throne became a problem. Song Ningzong himself had a distant relative, but the minister at that time Shi Miyuan was not satisfied with the candidate and secretly found someone to find others, but he found a tenth-generation grandson of Zhao Kuangyin. In the end, Shi Miyuan's conspiracy was successful, which was later Song Lizong. It is said that Song Lizong had a very distant blood relationship with Song Ningzong. However, the object of criticism at that time was not directed at Song Lizong's blood relationship, but was directed at Shi Miyuan, who did whatever he wanted, talked to himself, and manipulated national political affairs in conspiracy and tricks.

Therefore, modern people commented that after the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor's bloodline was no longer pure, and the common people ascended the throne in a peaceful manner many times. This statement also makes sense. In short, from the establishment to the end of the Song Dynasty, the emperor always had a certain degree of accident. Sometimes, this accident was quite large and there was no stubborn bloodline principle. But it was not right to say that it had no bloodline principle at all. No matter how far the bloodline was, it was still from the Zhao family.
