Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe has risen to a very high position. According to historical records, he is ignorant. Is he really ignorant?

How could you not know? It's just half-pushing.

I have seen many people say that Zhao Kuangyin was given the yellow robe without knowing it, and even many people say that Zhao Kuangyin was forced to do so. I think this is the funniest joke I have ever heard. I can believe what Zhao Kuangyin has whitewashed in the history books. China people are very modest. When others praise you, you have to reply a few words of "where is where", not to mention the minister holding a dragon robe to make you emperor. No matter who it is, you have to say "how dare"?

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe in the background that he was sent by the emperor to suppress the Khitan. In Chen Qiao, this repressive army became an insurgent army, and Zhao Kuangyin became a leader "inexplicably". In fact, the yellow robe has always had many doubts. Even from these doubts, we can see that Zhao Kuangyin is not ignorant, and even deliberately planned this rebellion.

One of the doubts is that the rumors of the Khitan mutiny at that time were not necessarily true. At that time, the court didn't know the truth of the news, so it quickly asked Zhao Kuangyin to suppress it. After the mutiny in Chen Qiao, Zhao Kuangyin immediately returned to Beijing, but the Khitan was neglected, so he had to retire. So the news of the arrival of the Khitan army at that time was probably false.

The second question, Zhao Kuangyin returned to the city with a great army, and the door opened itself. The team that was supposed to suppress the rebels came back on their own, which was very threatening. No matter who it is, they will think for themselves. But when Zhao Kuangyin returned to Beijing, the guarding city officials opened the gate for the army very neatly, just as they expected. And after Zhao Kuangyin entered the city, he also went straight to the dragon chair, then took out the prepared Zen letter and read it. Therefore, in the absence of a single soldier, Zhao Kuangyin "reluctantly" became emperor.
