If you want to say that the most controversial thing for later historians in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty must be the death of Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is only a brief record in the "History of the Song Dynasty and Taizu Benji": "On the night of the ugly day, the emperor collapsed in the Long Live Palace, at the age of fifty, and was buried on the west steps of the palace." "The death of an emperor only took such a little space, which is completely inconsistent with the character that the historians of the Great Song Dynasty like to describe, and as a result, the death of Zhao Kuangyin of Song Taizong has become one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in later history.

Among the many historical books, the one that has been widely circulated and more credible is the 'Axe Sound and Candle Shadow' in the "Continuation of the Records of the Mountains and Fields of Xiangxiang".

At midnight in October of the ninth year of Song Kaibao, he went to the Imperial Taiqing Pavilion to look at the air...... The gloom was everywhere, the weather changed sharply, and the snow and hail fell sharply, moving to the lower cabinet. Urgently pass the palace key to open the door, and convene the king, that is, Taizong. Extend the sleep and drink wine. The eunuchs and palace concubines were all screened, but under the shadow of the candle from afar, Taizong sometimes avoided the table, and there was an invincible state. Drinking, forbidden to leak three drums, the snow in the palace has been a few inches, the emperor led the pillar axe to poke the snow, Gu Taizong said: 'Good to do, easy to do!' Then he took off his belt and went to bed, and his snort was like thunder. On the eve of the night, Taizong stayed in the forbidden, the five drums, the servants were silent, and the emperor had collapsed. Taizong was edicted to ascend the throne in front of the coffin.

Jiang Yin is already familiar with this description.

It is recorded in the text: On the 14th of the first month of the Common Era, the weather in Bianjing turned from sunny to cloudy, and it snowed in the evening.

Boss Zhao didn't know what was wrong, so he withdrew all the palace maids and eunuchs around, and all those attendants retreated outside the screen to wait, only to see Zhao Guangyi sometimes leave his seat from a distance, and he didn't know what he was doing.

After drinking, at the time of the third watch, it was already a few inches of snow in the palace, Zhao Lao Da held on to the pillar, knocked the snow with an axe, and turned back to Zhao Lao Er and said, "Good to do." Then he undressed and went to sleep, snoring like thunder. On this night, Zhao Lao stayed in the palace, nearly five drums, the people around did not hear anything, only to find that Zhao Lao Da had died, so Zhao Lao Er was ordered to take the throne in front of the coffin.

Although this is a wild historical record, the details are not completely convincing, but it also vaguely reveals the shadow of the conspiracy, the key figure in this matter: Zhao Guangyi, the second son of Zhao.

In short, Zhao Kuangyin's death has become an indisputable fact, to say that his death, the one who benefited the most from it is Zhao Guangyi, Jiang Yin has always believed that there will be an unknown conspiracy here.

No matter how many historians speculated, studied, and traced, it was impossible to reconstruct everything that happened that night, so this incident naturally became an unsolved mystery for the ages.

But this eternal unsolved mystery has become a solvable problem when it comes to Jiang Yin, using the strange stone, Jiang Yin can go and see for himself what happened on the night of the 14th of the first month of the Common Era.....

There were snowflakes fluttering in the sky, gradually covering the earth with a layer of silver, and Zhao Guangyi subconsciously touched the small packet of poison in his embroidered robe.

This is a strange poison from the Western Regions, it will not be fatal to eat, only with a mosquito coil, it will produce highly poisonous, so that the poisoned person will die quietly.

This poison was obtained by Zhao Guangyi with 1,000 taels of gold from a Toutuo of the Western Regions, who once said that this medicine was discovered by himself, and only he could prepare it in the world, and he planned to use the money from selling this poison to earn 10,000 taels of gold, and then return to the Western Regions to build a temple of his own.

Of course, this Toutuo couldn't return to the Western Regions, and he couldn't build his own temple, so on the night of the poison sold to Zhao Guangyi, more than a dozen killers went to cut off his head.

When Zhao Guangyi confirmed the head under the candle, he was sure that the small packet of poison in his hand was unique in the world, and no one knew the principle of this poison.

Zhao Guangyi has been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to be alone with his imperial brother, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, and finally in this early winter, he waited for Zhao Kuangyin's summons.

Before the Chen Qiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin had not yet ascended the throne at that time, and Zhao Guangyi and he used to be brothers and sisters, but when Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, everything changed.

The former brothers have become god-like figures high above, Zhao Guangyi saw Zhao Kuangyin and wanted to kneel and bow, to call him His Majesty the Emperor, and to look up at Zhao Kuangyin from afar.

All this makes Zhao Guangyi unacceptable, since childhood, the two brothers received the same education, Zhao Guangyi's performance is usually better than Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi's articles are better than his brother's, his martial arts are stronger than his brother, even if it is his appearance, Zhao Guangyi is also confident that he is higher than his brother.

But such an elder brother who can't compare to anything becomes an emperor overnight, and everything seems to be turned upside down.

He eats better than himself, his wife is more beautiful than himself, his rights are greater than himself, and he enjoys the best treatment in the world.

After enduring such days for more than ten years, Zhao Guangyi couldn't sit still, he wanted to change this life, he wanted to break free from the shackles brought to him by the emperor's brother.

The only way is to get rid of his brother and become the emperor himself, for this reason, Zhao Guangyi is willing to let his soul fall into hell to change the opportunity.

Tonight is the best time to do it.

Zhao Guangyi once again subconsciously touched the small packet of poison in his embroidered robe, which was his hope for everything...

.........

The weather in mid-November was still a little cold, Jiang Yin squatted on the beams and pillars of the Long Live Palace, quietly watching the people below busy arranging the banquet.

As written in history, on the evening of November 14 in the ninth year of Song Kaibao, the haze was everywhere, the weather changed sharply, the snow and hail fell suddenly, it was snowing heavily, and the temperature was very low.

Seeing the palace maids serving dishes coming and going, Jiang Yin frowned, he thought that Zhao Guangyi's most likely means to kill Zhao Kuangyin was to poison him, but now that there are so many dishes, he doesn't know that plate is poisonous, who poisoned it.

Since it can't be changed, Jiang Yin plans to watch quietly, maybe things will change differently from history.

After waiting on the beam for half an hour, Zhao Lao Da and Zhao Lao Er entered the hall hand in hand, judging from the demeanor of the two, it seems that the relationship is very close, but Zhao Kuangyin's demeanor seems to be a little unkind, I saw him wave his hand to let Zhao Guangyi sit down, and he also sat down in the main seat.

"You all retreat outside the screen." Zhao Kuangyin scolded many eunuchs and palace maids waiting on the side.

I saw that after those eunuchs and palace maids made a promise, they all retreated outside the screen one after another, and at this moment, there were only two people in the huge Long Live Palace, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi.

Then Jiang Yin's sensitive hearing heard Zhao Kuangyin's cold voice.

"Yanyi, I already know about your affair with Madame Blossom." .....
