Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1 The eldest son, Zhao Dezhao

The eighth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty.

It was raining heavily, and the huge city of Kaifeng (Tokyo) was shrouded in whiteness.

Suddenly, lightning was like a sharp sword, splitting a huge bright crack in the sky, briefly breaking through the darkness above the city.

On the banks of the Bian River, in a magnificent mansion, a young man in his early twenties was awakened by thunder, and suddenly opened his eyes from his lethargy.

The young man sat up abruptly, looked around at the unfamiliar environment, and lightly touched his young and elastic strange face, with surprise and astonishment in his eyes.

"It turns out that my old Zhao is not dead yet. Where is this place? Who am I now?"

After a short period of confusion, the memories in my mind flooded in one after another like a tide, and all the past and present life quickly merged into one.

He was originally an online car-hailing driver, but his car crashed and died due to fatigue driving.

Accidentally, the soul traveled to a young man who had a fever and fell asleep.

This young man also happened to be named Zhao.

He, Zhao Dezhao, is the eldest son of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!

His mother is Zhao Kuangyin's first wife, He Shi, and he is the son of a pure and noble family.

In this era, the three words "Eldest Son" represent unquestionable and legal orthodoxy, and represent the indisputable priority of succession to the throne!
"The eldest son of the founding emperor, he is so tall and handsome... very good!"

Zhao Dezhao got up from the couch, walked to a high-gloss bronze mirror in the bedroom, looked in the mirror, took stock of his height and shape, and was concerned about his new face and body, as well as his new body. I feel very satisfied with my identity.

But soon, his heart sank suddenly, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Although he, Zhao Dezhao, is the legally orthodox heir to the throne of Zhao Song Dynasty, the soul from later generations knows that after his father Zhao Kuangyin passed away suddenly, the person in history who really succeeded Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty and the great ancestor Zhao Kuangyin, to sit on the Dragon Throne, did not not him!
It was his second uncle, Zhao Guangyi, whose temple name was "Song Taizong"!
After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he never let go of his precautions and suspicions towards Zhao Dezhao, the "eldest son of the Taizu".

But he still failed to escape the catastrophe in the end.

After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he crusaded against the Khitan and was annihilated in the Gaoliang River. He lost contact with his subordinates for a time and was hit by an arrow in his butt. He finally escaped with his life while lying on a donkey cart and running thousands of miles. Later generations nicknamed him "Gaoliang River Donkey Cart". drift".

At one time, the ministers of the court thought that the emperor had encountered an accident, so they discussed to support Zhao Dezhao to succeed him.After Zhao Guangyi fled back to Tokyo and learned of the incident, his suspicion of Zhao Dezhao became more serious, and finally forced the nephew to commit suicide at the age of 28.

The eldest son of Emperor Taizu, no one can beat him in terms of the legitimacy of the succession to the throne!
Therefore, there will be ministers in the court who want to support him, but Zhao Guangyi will never let go of this nephew unless he is forced to death.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dezhao took two steps back and forth, and frowned, "Why didn't my emperor father make me the crown prince?"

The sudden and bizarre death of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and the sudden succession of Zhao Guangyi, the so-called "candle shadow and ax sound" change, can be said to be an extremely famous difficult case in Chinese history.

Did Zhao Kuangyin really choose his younger brother to succeed him and exclude his own son?
Zhao Dezhao felt that this was not necessarily the case.

Zhao Kuangyin did not establish a crown prince, but he did not establish a crown prince either!
In Taizu's dynasty, there was no official crown prince at all!
However, I have to admit that Zhao Kuangyin's choice of successor, between his younger brother and his son, seems to be more inclined to Zhao Guangyi's younger brother, at least in terms of the situation.

Zhao Guangyi was conferred the title of King of Jin by Zhao Kuangyin, appointed as Kaifeng Fuyi, and controlled the security of the capital, his importance is self-evident.You know, in the previous two dynasties of the Later Han Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty, the position of Fuyi in Kaifeng was simply the standard configuration for the crown prince, and the position of the crown prince was the default.

Zhao Dezhao was much more tragic. Although he was a prominent official, he was never crowned king during his father's lifetime, and he was never entrusted with important responsibilities by his father.

Therefore, Zhao Dezhao is far from being able to compare with his second uncle Zhao Guangyi, whether it is the nobility of the title, the fundamental power in the court, or Zhao Kuangyin's trust.

Therefore, at present, Zhao Guangyi does not have the title of prince, but the actual status of prince!

but why?Why did it happen?

You must know that it is only natural that the father dies and the son succeeds, not some "brother ends up with brother"!
You know, a small landowner in the countryside with only a hundred acres of Susukida will always want to pass this family property on to his own son, not his brother, let alone a huge foundation?This is the nature of human nature!
Zhao Kuangyin is so unreasonable, doesn't he miss the relationship between father and son?

Looking at the brand-new self in the bronze mirror, Zhao Dezhao was stunned for a moment, and the memories of this life flooded into his mind.

He remembered, the old owner of this body's unbearable behavior and temperament, as well as the sloppy things he had done, made him feel ashamed!

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao understood.

"I really can't blame my second uncle, let alone my father, if I want to blame, I can only blame myself!"

"Who told you to be so dishonest? Who told you to be so shameless!"

"Zhao Kuangyin is the father, but he is also the founding emperor, the hero of a generation!"

"The troubled times are not over yet. In order to ensure the inheritance of the Zhao family's foundation in the troubled times, he would rather hand over the throne to his younger brother who is more talented than his own son who is not up to date and unreliable!"

boom!
Zhao Dezhao hit the figure in the bronze mirror with a fist, his eyes were firm and sharp.

This punch is a farewell to the former Zhao Dezhao, and it is also a declaration of war against fate!
"Since God let me come to this era, I will never make another tragedy!"
