Song Taizu freed the soldiers with a glass of wine and spared the founding hero. Why did he kill the rescuer?

This man is Zhang Qiong. Because Zhang Qiong's personality is very direct, he is not good at flattering the monarch. He has always been the kind of person who is outspoken. At that time, he warned Jun to watch out for his younger brother, so Zhao Kuangyin thought he tried to sow discord between the two brothers and killed him. Zhang Qiong was a hothead at that time and was not good at flattery. So the last thing he looked down upon in the imperial court was that ministers who flattered him often humiliated them. At that time, Shi Hanqing and others saw that Zhang Qiong was so annoying that they always wanted to get back at Zhang Qiong, so he spoke ill of Zhang Qiong in front of Zhao Kuangyin. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin listened to Shi Hanqing's rumors and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Qiong, so he called Zhang Qiong to the front and asked him if he had done such a thing, but Zhang Qiong denied it. So the monarch beat him up. At that time, Zhang Qiong was killed. When Zhao Kuangyin saw that he refused to plead guilty, he handed him over to someone else for trial. You know, at that time, the people in Xing Department were very good at acting according to the monarch's glances, so they knew what the monarch wanted, so they used very severe punishment to get Zhang Qiong's confession. Zhao Kuangyin's behavior is undoubtedly very shameless, because Zhang Qiong has made great contributions to the country after all, and he should not just listen to Zhao Hanqing's one-sided words and make such behavior. After Zhang Qiong's death, when Zhao Kuangyin heard that Zhang Qiong's family had no extra money, he suddenly realized that he was very sorry for his behavior. At that time, in order to make up for Zhang Qiong's mistake, he promoted his younger brother. The main reason why Zhao Kuangyin wanted to kill Zhang Qiong was that Zhang Qiong had warned Zhao Kuangyin to be careful of his younger brother. Zhao Kuangyin didn't find his brother's ambition at that time, so he thought that Zhang Qiong was trying to sow discord between the two brothers.
