Zhou Shizong, the first monarch of the five dynasties, is comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, comparable to the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, he is Chai Rong. The name Chai Rong was changed for him by the Song Dynasty, specifically, it was changed for him by Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of Song Taizu Song who bullied his children's wife and robbed him of his country.
If he hadn't died so early, he would have opened Taiping, and the temple number was definitely an ancestral word. It may be Gaozu, Shizu, Holy Ancestor, Chengzu, at least it has to be the same as Taizong Li Shimin of Zhenguan's rule, he also has to get a Taizong temple number, which is more than enough.
His death is full of conspiracy, especially his sudden death, and the truth is even more terrifying.
There is indeed nothing wrong with Chai Rong being called Chai Rong, but the problem is that he has passed over, he has succeeded to the throne, he has called his father uncle, and it is not right to follow his father's surname.
Zhou Shizong's official name in the Later Zhou was not Chai Rong but Guo Rong. If you go back to the source, then Guo Rong, the best emperor of the five generations, should actually be called Chang Rong! Why is Chai Rong called Chang Rong?
What's going on? There is a peculiar phenomenon in the five dynasties and ten countries, especially the five generations, that is, the adopted son ** system.
You see, Zhu Wen, the founding emperor of the Later Liang, this absurd and unscrupulous emperor, did something more serious than picking up ashes, and openly ordered his daughters-in-law to sleep.
Zhu Wen's adopted sons and sons gave their wives one after another in order to become the prince of Daliang and even the son of heaven. Among these daughters-in-law, Zhu Wen's adopted son Zhu Youwen's wife Zhang is the most beautiful, and Zhu Wen also loves his wife and husband, and wants to make his adopted son Zhu Youwen the prince. Although his own sons later rebelled, stabbed Zhu Wen to death, gave Zhu Youwen to death, and seized the throne, no one named Zhu Youwen's real name Kang Qin.
Later Liang Taizu's adopted son failed to succeed to the throne, but the Later Tang Dynasty not only succeeded to the throne with his adopted son, but also succeeded with his adopted son. Tang Mingzong Li Siyuan is Li Keyong's adopted son, he has no name, he is from Shatuo, and after becoming Li Keyong's adopted son, he changed his surname to Li. Li Siyuan was also succeeded by his adopted son, he was Li Congke, the emperor of the late Tang Dynasty, but no one was called Li Congke Wang Congke, and Li Congke's original surname was Wang.
The person who picked up Emperor Shi Jingjiao's class was not the son of Shi Jingjiao at the end of the Later Jin Dynasty, but Shi Chonggui, the son of Shi Jingjiao, the son of Shi Jingru, the king of the Song Dynasty.
Chai Rong passed on to his uncle Guo Wei since he was a child, calling Guo Wei his father and his father uncle, so he changed Chai to Guo, which is what we call Guo Rong. As soon as Guo Wei's surname is Chang, we can also call Guo Wei Chang Wei (not Chang Wei of Stephen Chow's "Nine Sesame Officials: White Bread and Blue Sky").
The History of the New Five Dynasties and the History of the Old Five Dynasties all have Zhou Shizong's original surname Chai, which means that his surname is Chai and his current surname is Guo. Guo Weiyi said that his surname is Chang, that is, his current surname is Guo. Because his biological mother took him to marry a man named Guo Jian, he also took that person's surname. In fact, Guo Wei's biological father's surname is Chang. In this way, in fact, it is okay to say that Chai Rong is Changrong.
In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin called Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, and in the Zhou Dynasty (Later Zhou), Zhao Kuangyin definitely called Guo Rong Guo or His Royal Highness the Prince.
Chai Rong's god-like existence, Wen Neng Anbang, Wu Ke Dingguo, but who would have thought that Chai Rong only had a short 45 days from the royal drive to sweep the Khitan to leave orphans and widows.
In the later Song Dynasty, which replaced the Later Zhou, there were many pain points, the Khitan (Liao) almost captured Song Taizong alive, the Jurchen (Jin) broke through Bianjing and captured the second emperor, and the Mongols (Yuan) took the Southern Song Dynasty to the end. In April 959, Chai Rong led tens of thousands of iron cavalry and sailors to the Northern Expedition, and looked at the wind everywhere he went. Wang Hong, the assassin of Ningzhou, Zhong Tinghui, the guard of Yijin Pass, Yao Neibin of Waqiao Pass, Liu Chuxin, and Gao Yanhui, the assassin of Yingzhou, surrendered, and Li Zaiqin, the assassin of Yizhou, was captured alive.
In just 42 days, Chai Rong, who claimed to be the second in Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, hit one and won three, and even Ke three passes and three states, and obtained as many as 17 counties! It is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, not to sell the name of the overlord, Chai Rong waved his sword and pointed north to Youzhou, Youzhou is today's Beijing, shouting a word ——- Chong!
He wants to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, he wants to achieve a generation of great causes, he is full of pride, as heroic as Wei Wu whipped. He is like a lion, eager to eat the Khitan in one bite! At the military meeting of the great victory, he was full of spirit and scolded Fang Xuan, and he wanted to take the sixteen states of Yanyun in one go.
Speaking of which, the generals under the tent should also shout long live, be full of pride in the mobilization, take Youyan directly, and go straight to the southern gate of the Khitan. But they resolutely opposed the continuation of the Northern Expedition, and it turned out to be amazingly unanimous!
Victory is just around the corner, how can it fall short! Chai Rong is very angry, and the anger of the people is also committed, he is born for the country, he is fighting for the country, his life is to achieve the three ten-year plans, so as to achieve the former Qin Emperor Han Wu, and the later Tang Dynasty Song Zu.
The soldiers had to receive the order, Chai Rong soon fell ill, even if he fell ill, he still did not withdraw the army, and later his brother-in-law Zhang Yongde proposed that "if you go outside, you must first settle inside", and asked him to go back. He still refused, but as his illness worsened, he had to return to the court. The sixteen states of Yanyun came back again, and it was already the Ming Dynasty more than 300 years later.
Back in Kaifeng Mansion, the first thing Chai Rong did was to dismiss Zhang Yongde's inspection in front of the palace, and appoint his brother Zhao Kuangyin, who was six years younger than him, to be the inspection in front of the palace. Zhao Kuangyin is low-key, capable, and loyal (at least Chai Rong was full of positive energy when he saw Zhao Kuangyin), and his prestige was not high.
When Chai Rong was dying, he entrusted Gu Fan Zhen, Zhao Kuangyin, and Han Tong. Chai Rong's Ruyi keyboard is, Fan Zhen and Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong civil and military balances, Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong Wuwu balance, Fan Zhen, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong and Li Chongjin are ** and local balances. Han Tong served as the deputy commander of the guard's pro-army Ma Bujun, while Li Chongjin served as the commander but was transferred to the local area, resulting in a vacancy in the post.
Chai Rong's self-conceived perfect arrangement was perfectly cracked by Zhao Kuangyin. As everyone knows, the front division of the palace and the guard division have basically become Zhao Kuangyin's people, and they are learning from the example of Chai Rong's father Guo Wei, and it only took half a year to come to a yellow robe, Han Tong, Li Chongjin and Li Yun, some of them were killed before they got up, and some of them were divided, and then they were eliminated one by one. Since then, the Great Zhou has become the Great Song Dynasty.
Many years later, Zhao Kuangyin, the second Zhao Lao who deceived orphans and widows, passed by the Heroes Pavilion commemorating the heroes one day, when the wind opened the door, Zhao Kuangyin was stunned, and immediately tidied up his robes and clothes, and bowed three times to the portrait in the door before leaving.
Zhao Kuangyin's follower said, he is a courtier, or a former dynasty, Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, is it too polite for you to be so polite.
Zhao Kuangyin stretched out his big hand, pointed to the dragon robe with his index finger and said to the people around him, if this person is still alive, how can it be my turn to be in the yellow robe.
In addition, Zhou Shizong made a meritorious pavilion in the forbidden, and painted the ministers of the time, such as Li Gu, Zheng Renzhi and Pu Zhi. Taizu ascended the throne, one day through the meritorious pavilion, the wind opened half the door, and the statue of Pu was opposite. When Taizu saw it, he stood up, straightened the collar of the royal robe, and bowed and bowed. Left and right said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the minister of the previous dynasty, what is the courtesy?" Taizu pointed his finger at the royal robe: "If this person is here, I can't wear this robe." —Silent Notes, Volume IWho is this person that Zhao Kuangyin is talking about? This person is Wang Pu! Wang Pu may not be familiar to some people, and his son is also famous, but he is notorious. His son is Wang Yu (shēn), who killed Yang Ye! He was not a concubine, and later a concubine was Wang 诜 (shēn).
There are two people that Zhao Lao Er is most afraid of, one is the big brother and the old leader Guo Rong (Zhao Kuangyin is always called Chai Rong), and the other is Uncle Wang Pu. Wang Pu is 21 years older than Zhao Kuangyin, and he can be called a good minister in governing the country. If Chai Rong is compared to Liu Bang, then Wang Pu is Zhang Liang; If Chai Rong is compared to Liu Bei, then Wang Pu is Zhuge Liang.
Chai Rong and Wang Pu talked about their dreams in life, Chai Rong said, as long as God gives me 30 years, I can return to a prosperous era where the world dominates the world and all the people are happy! To this end, Chai Rong set three ten-year plans, the first of which was to dominate the world and make the Great Zhou as vast as the Han and Tang Dynasties; The second ten-year plan is to encourage fertility and production; The third ten-year plan is to create a prosperous era in which all nations will come to the dynasty and all people will enjoy together.
Ten years of territorial development; Ten years to raise the people, ten years to keep the world peaceful! - History of the Last Five Dynasties
To sum it simply, unity.
First, benefit the people and prosper the times. Zhuge Liang has "Longzhong Pair", which pointed out the strategic direction for Liu Bei's great cause of founding the country, and Wang Pu's "Pingbian Policy" put forward the strategic idea of "first south and then north, first easy and then south" to unify the world, specifically the six souths I summarized - Jingnan, Hunan, Jiannan, Lingnan (Southern Han), Jiangnan (Southern Tang), and Jinnan (Northern Han), and later the Song Dynasty unified the world according to this idea.
Who would have thought that God would give this Yunwen Yunwu Son of Heaven only five and a half years, and he couldn't even complete the first ten-year plan to open up the territory. It turns out that instead of multiplying five or six times (30 years), it is five years plus six months! It's really a death before leaving the school, which makes the hero cry!
When Chai Rong was dying, he had been guarding against Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, because these two people were invincible generals, and more importantly, Zhang Yongde was the son-in-law of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, and Li Chongjin was Guo Wei's nephew. is also a nephew, Chai Rong is the winner, but Li Chongjin, who is a loser, also did his best for Da Zhou, and finally committed suicide for Da Zhou.
The reason why Chai Rong dismissed Zhang Yongde was because he was a bit of a fable of the Son of Heaven. Chai Rong doesn't think too much when he is healthy, but when a person is about to die, he has to consider all the risk factors. But often when a person is about to die, because the body is weak and the health is seriously damaged, it is easy to arrange for defeat. The same is true of the smart and martial arts such as Chai Rong, he has always guarded against Zhang Yongde, and as a result, Zhao Kuangyin intercepted Hu.
959 was Chai Rong's most unlucky year, but it was Zhao Kuangyin's luckiest year.
On March 15 of that year, Prime Minister Wang Pu suddenly fainted while happily communicating with former Prime Minister Li Gu, and then died suddenly, only living at the age of 54. Wang Pu is Chai Rong's most relied on minister, and he is undoubtedly Chai Rong's right-hand man.
Chai Rong, who had no right-hand man, was resisted by the generals when the Northern Expedition was successful. Chai Rong hated Zhang Yongde even more for letting him return to the dynasty, feeling like cursing him. As he had no choice but to return to his teacher, the first thing he did was to deal with Zhang Yongde, and then he died soon after.
Zhao Kuangyin added a yellow robe and created the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin replaced Zhang Yongde, and at the end of the year, Chai Rong's son Chai Zongxun replaced him.
In the yellow robe, Zhao Kuangyin always said no, no, no, in fact, everyone knows that Zhao Kuangyin is an actor.
But if you only regard him as Ying Di, it will be superficial. Who directed the scene? Obviously, the yellow robe is a reality show written, directed and acted by Zhao Kuangyin! This is not a movie, but a series.
Think about it, why did Wang Pu die suddenly, why did he check the brand of the Son of Heaven, why was Chai Rong's Northern Expedition obstructed, why did Zhao Kuangyin replace Zhang Yongde, and why did Chai Rong die suddenly?
Isn't it chilling, Zhao Kuangyin, the biggest winner, finally played this reality show series to a climax half a year after Chai Rong's death - the yellow robe!
All of this is really not explained by simple "conspiracy theories", but a "serial" of Zhao Kuangyin's clique's usurpation of power, what do you think about this?
