Chapter 106 Longxing
Qin Changfeng asked us if we knew how Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died.
As a disciple of Taoism, studying history is a compulsory course, especially the unofficial history of emperors, which is a treasure trove. After all, Feng Shui is the inheritance of history, and the emperor's Feng Shui has always been related to the level of Taoism in the current dynasty, and is of great reference for future generations. .
A person soon answered: "The "History of the Song Dynasty" records that in the ninth year of Kaibao's reign, on the eve of Guichou, the emperor died in the Wansui Palace at the age of fifty. According to official history, Song Taizu died suddenly."
After a pause, he continued: "But there are many unofficial records. On the night of October 19th, the ninth year of Kaibao, there was a haze. Suddenly, the weather suddenly changed and snow and hail fell suddenly. Zhao Kuangyin observed this celestial phenomenon and urgently called his brother Zhao Guangyi into the palace. The two discussed matters in secret. During this period, an attendant saw the two men pushing each other and heard the sound of an ax hitting the ground. An hour later, Song Zu died, and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi took over the throne."
Qin Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the young man with a smile: "Oh? Then you mean that Song Taizu was murdered by his own brother to seize the throne?"
The young man said hurriedly: "I don't dare to make rash remarks. There is indeed such an unofficial history, but there are different opinions and it is not known whether it is true or not.”
Qin Changfeng continued to ask him with a smile: "Seeing that you have read history books, you should know that the Zhao brothers are close. Song Zu did not establish a prince, but appointed his younger brother as the governor of Kaifeng. Zhao Guangyi had been groomed to be his successor. Signs of people, why is this? ”
After thinking for a moment, the young man replied: "It is indeed true. This is also a mystery. After Song Taizu ascended to the throne, he never made his son the prince. This is against human ethics. Song Zu also did let his younger brother Zhao Guangyi die. From a high position, we can discuss state affairs together. Regicide is a bit untenable."
After a pause, the young man looked at Qin Changfeng and flattered him and said, "Young man has little talent and little knowledge. Could it be that the death of Song Taizu has some hidden secrets related to Xuanmen? ? Mr. Qin is knowledgeable and hopes to clear up the confusion.”
The atmosphere was heightened, and Qin Changfeng quickly told us a story.
After hearing this story, I was deeply shocked and couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Because this story is not only about Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty who may be the ancestor of my Zhao family, but it also seems to be connected with the story that my grandfather told me before in Shetou Mountain about the strange man who killed the earth dragon.
This story can be traced back to the Later Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin had not yet rebelled. At that time, he was the military governor of the German army and inspected the palace. It can be said that he had great power and had the foundation to seize the throne.
But Zhao Kuangyin was an upright and open-minded person. In addition, Chai Zongxun, the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty at that time, was the son of his good brother Chai Rong. Although he was more than ten thousand people, he had no intention of seeking the throne.
However, Zhao Kuangyin's military advisor, Zhao Pu, had been agitating to seize the throne. When Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to the northern expedition to Khitan, when they reached Chenqiaoyi, they encountered a dry well.
Zhao Pu told Zhao Kuangyin that Kaifeng was the place where Longxing was born in the previous dynasty, and this well was on the dragon's mouth of the dragon's vein in the previous dynasty. Now that the well is dry, it means that the energy of the Later Zhou Dynasty has been exhausted, and the new king Stand up.
Zhao Kuangyin naturally knew Zhao Pu’s intention to let him seize the throne. He smiled and said to Zhao Pu: "That being said, why is it me as the new king? The name is not justified, and the words are not justified. You are trying to trap me in this. It's unjust."
Zhao Pu said hurriedly: "The emperor is destined by heaven, and only the true dragon emperor can do it. Reinvigorate the dragon veins. Zhao Kuangyin can take blood and throw it into a dry well. If water comes out of the dry well, it will prove that you are the real dragon emperor, and you will be crowned the ninth emperor and command the world.” Having made arrangements, he smiled and said: "You give it a try first."
Zhao Pu immediately cut off a bunch of his own hair, mixed it with his own fingertip blood and threw it into the dry well. For a long time, the dry well did not change at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin also became interested. With the attitude of giving it a try, he also took some of his own hair, dyed his fingertips with blood and threw it into the dry well.
What I didn’t expect was that at this moment the world would change.
A dragon's roar from the bottom of the dry well resounded through the sky. The next second, spring came to the dry well, and sweet well water gurgled out.
Zhao Kuangyin was surprised and happy, and couldn't help but said: "Is Gu Zhen the emperor?"
Zhao Pu, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took out the dragon robe with Zhao Guangyi and put it on Zhao Kuangyin.
The generals knelt down and shouted long live. (End of this chapter)
