In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang died of illness, the chancellor Li Si and the eunuch Zhao Gao secretly did not send, the false edict gave death to the prince Fu Su, who should have ascended the throne as emperor, and sent Hu Hai, the eighteenth son of Qin Shi Huang, to the throne, which was the first "seizure of the throne" event since the feudal dynasty, and such a thing was not only once, it was not easy for the prince to successfully inherit the throne.
Zhao Hun (赵竑), the ninth grandson of Zhao Defang, the fourth son of Song Taizu, was not very famous in history, and in 1206, Emperor Ningzong of Song's cousin Zhao Shu (赵抦) the Prince of Yijinghui died, but did not leave any heirs, so Zhao Hu became a descendant of Zhao Jun, giving him the name Zhao Jun, and later changing his name to Zhao Guihe.
And Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo also did not have a son, the nine sons died at an early age, Jingxian Crown Prince Zhao Que was the adopted son of Song Ningzong, Jiading thirteen years (1220), Zhao Que died, the crown prince was vacated, Song Ningzong then established Zhao Guihe as the crown prince, and gave the name Zhao Zhen, according to this development, after the death of Song Ningzong, the emperor's throne was Zhao Zhen's.
At that time, the chancellor was Shi Miyuan, who had been in power for more than 10 years in the Song Ningzong Dynasty, with a monstrous power and a meticulous mind, he thought that Zhao Hu would be the emperor in the future, so he threw himself into his favor and gave Zhao Zhu a beautiful woman who was good at playing the piano, Zhao Zhu only thought that it was Shi Miyuan's means to win him over, and did not think that the beauty was actually the eyeliner sent by Shi Miyuan.
The beautiful woman played the piano well, and the appearance was beautiful, Zhao Hu liked it very much, and told the beautiful woman everything, Zhao Hu hated Shi Miyuan for interfering too much in the government, and often said bad things about Shi Miyuan in front of the beautiful woman, and pointed to the Qiongya Prefecture on the map, and said to the beautiful woman: "I will become emperor in the future, and I will place Shi Miyuan here." ”
Qiongya Prefecture is a remote and bitter place, it can be seen that Zhao Miyuan has long wanted to dispose of Shi Miyuan, after Shi Miyuan learned about it, he also took advantage of the fact that on July 7, he also offered a strange and rare treasure to Zhao Zhu to try, and Zhao Hu was very drunk and smashed everything on the ground, so Shi Miyuan began to think about how to deal with Zhao Zhen, he first instigated the fire in front of Song Ningzong, and let Song Ningzong abolish Zhao Zhu, but he did not succeed.
Then Shi Miyuan turned his attention to Zhao Yun, who had succeeded King Yi as his son, Shi Miyuan intended to help Zhao Yun to the throne, and someone went to teach Zhao Yun, but Shi Miyuan's mind did not let Zhao Yun, Zhao Zhu was still waiting for Song Ningzong to die, so that he could ascend the throne as emperor.
In the seventeenth year of Jiading (1224), When Emperor Ningzong of Song died, Shi Miyuan sent someone to quickly bring Zhao Yun into the palace, let Zhao Yun perform a mourning ceremony, and then ordered someone to summon Zhao Yun over, and Zhao Hu hurried into the palace, but every time he arrived at the palace gate, the janissaries stopped his attendants, and Zhao Yun inexplicably did it, but he did it.
However, just after the enthronement ceremony, Zhao Hu knew that he was not the new emperor, Shi Miyuan and others had already tampered with the edict and sent Zhao Yun to the emperor's throne, and the matter had reached this point, Zhao Hu also knew that he could not pull Shi Miyuan at all with his own strength, but it did not mean that others thought so, and in the end Zhao Hu was still executed by Shi Miyuan's false transmission of the holy will.
