Chapter 292: Wonderful Dynasty

"This man has no ill will!" Zhao Yu analyzed and analyzed, but came to such a conclusion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This makes him even more strange, the general rumors are made to slander and slander someone, and this person seems to be helping him to get into power. But on the other hand, it may be to kill himself, after all, there are no two heavens and no two masters in the country, and he says that he can be civil and martial, and universalize all sentient beings, so doesn't he have the intention of buying people's hearts and seeking to establish? The emperor can bear it, but neither can those people in the court!

"No, they must not give up!" Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and came to his senses, now that Chen Yizhong went to Zhancheng to fight the front station, it seemed a foregone conclusion that the imperial court would evacuate the mainland. Then his exile abroad would be tantamount to relinquishing control of the country, and of course the 'men of insight' would have to re-elect a man with royal blood to continue to lead the war of resistance, and he would be their choice. As for who is planning for a rainy day, he can also figure it out with his feet, it's not that any of them would choose such a wise and martial person as their master, wouldn't it be disobedient to be an idiot.

Zhao Hao seems to have no power to resist the kindness they imposed on him now, and without their actions, he may really pass by the throne......

In the Central Plains Dynasty, the succession to the throne is the top priority related to the regime, often pay attention to bloodline, pay attention to the succession of father to son, which is related to the emperor's family, that is, the problem of the clan system, once not handled well, the consequences are quite serious.

But in the Song Dynasty, it was somewhat different. After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the singleness and inevitability of the emperor's bloodline were actually greatly loosened. After Zhao Kuangyin's death, his second brother Zhao Guangyi became emperor. The so-called Candle Shadow Axe and Jin Kui Pre-Alliance, if you don't explore the truth, only from the perspective of bloodline, the brother and the brother are still relatively close in blood, and the impact on the inevitability of inheriting the throne is not great. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor's brother and brother also happened more than once.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji also inherited the throne of his elder brother Song Zhezong, but violated the order of the eldest and youngest. It stands to reason that if the emperor's elder brother died, the emperor had no son, and his younger brother could inherit the throne. Zhao Ji is ranked eleventh, there is Lao Cheng's ninth brother in front of him, and there are twelve, thirteen, and fourteenth brothers in the back. However, because Zhao Ji's ninth brother had eye problems, Zhao Ji became Song Huizong. Although this factor is not inevitable, it still plays a role at a critical moment.

In addition, there were nephews in the Northern Song Dynasty who inherited the throne of their uncles, and Song Yingzong was the nephew of the previous emperor Song Renzong. Therefore, from the perspective of the Northern Song Dynasty, the succession of the emperor's throne and the principle of blood first have shown signs of relaxation. In the Southern Song Dynasty, this principle was much more lenient.

Since Zhao Guangyi became the emperor, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty are all descendants of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong, including the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou. Song Gaozong's son died very early, and since then there has been no son, and who will inherit the throne has become a big problem. Song Gaozong's successor, Song Xiaozong, is the seventh grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, what is this concept? The Chinese people have a saying called "relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles", and the relationship between Song Xiaozong and Song Gaozong belongs to this situation.

For the hereditary system of the emperor, which relatives of the emperor are still considered relatives, this is an important question. The problem of short-lived dynasties is not big, but the long-lived dynasties are big problems, and all dynasties have different ways of dealing with this problem. Before the Song Dynasty, the rule of the Tang Dynasty was that the emperor's relatives were counted as relatives within the "five suits", and beyond the "five suits" were not counted as imperial relatives. According to this concept, the blood relationship between Song Xiaozong and Song Gaozong actually goes beyond the "five suits".

In other dynasties, the later Song Xiaozong should have been just a commoner, not even a prince. Besides, Song Gaozong himself is a descendant of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong, in addition to himself, in his time, there are other descendants of Zhao Guangyi, who is related to him by blood inside and outside the five suits. Therefore, in terms of the emperor's bloodline, it is not the turn of Song Xiaozong, the descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, to inherit the throne in any case. However, something like this happened. Moreover, in the Southern Song Dynasty, no one raised any opinions.

What is the reason for this? From Song Gaozong's point of view, some people say that it is his selfishness, which is also reasonable. At that time, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were both arrested by the Jin people and taken to Heilongjiang, for Song Gaozong, what if the "Second Emperor" came back? Song Huizong, like Song Qinzong and Song Gaozong, is a descendant of Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty. Song Gaozong Zhao Gou chose a descendant of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin as the emperor actually made a small calculation, others can probably guess, that is, the emperor's bloodline has returned to Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Guangyi's descendants should no longer think about the throne.

To a certain extent, Song Gaozong Zhao's move is also a kind of precaution for the "Second Emperor Huiqin" in case he returns. Anyway, he himself has no descendants, and the emperor's bloodline was transferred to Zhao Kuangyin, even if the "second emperor" came back and wanted to transfer the bloodline back to Zhao Guangyi's descendants, it was not easy to say.

This concept of openness to imperial power did not appear only once in the Southern Song Dynasty. Although Song Ningzong had sons, they all died young, and who would inherit the throne became a problem. Song Ningzong himself had a candidate for a distant relative, but Shi Miyuan, the minister at the time, was not satisfied with this candidate, so he found someone to secretly find someone else, and found a very poor tenth grandson of Zhao Kuangyin. In the end, Shi Miyuan's conspiracy succeeded, and this was the later Song Lizong. It is said that the blood relationship between Song Lizong and Song Ningzong was already far away, but the object of criticism inside and outside the government and the opposition at that time was not aimed at Song Lizong's blood relationship, but against Shi Miyuan who did whatever he wanted, talked to himself, and manipulated national political affairs in a conspiracy and trickery.

Therefore, some people in modern times have commented that after the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor's bloodline was no longer pure, and the common people ascended to the throne in a peaceful way many times, which is also somewhat reasonable. In short, from the establishment of the Song Dynasty to the end, the emperor has always had a certain degree of chance, and sometimes, this chance is quite large, and there is no stubborn principle of blood. But it is not right to say that it has no bloodline principle at all, no matter how far the blood relationship is, after all, it is still a member of the Zhao family.

The current Great Song Dynasty is also facing such a problem, if Emperor Jingyan leaves the city, the throne is vacant. At this time, although the royal family died and caught, but in the history of hundreds of years, how many distant royal families like Song Lizong were scattered all over the place, and it was not difficult to find one. And there is not only one 'person of insight', but there are many people engaged in the anti-Mongolian struggle under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty? In other words, although Zhao Yu is closest to the current emperor, the throne is not necessarily his in the strange dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty...... (To be continued.) )
