Why do some people say that Zhao Guangyi, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, had few children, and finally no one even succeeded to the throne?

Zhao Gou was the last emperor of Zhao Guangyi. He really had no direct descendants, so he had to return the throne to the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin. There are 3,000 beautiful women in the emperor's harem and countless children. Every emperor stood on the bones of his brothers and sisters. After all, there is only one throne and so many heirs. But this problem does not exist for Zhao Gou, because he has no son. "I really have the throne to inherit, but I don't have a son." If Zhao Gou were a modern man, he would really post on the Internet.

In fact, there is no emperor without immediate successor, so in this case, he will adopt a nephew of his own to inherit reunification, but this plan is not good for Zhao Gou. Because he doesn't even have a brother, where can he get a brother's child? Why is the emperor the only one in the royal family? It starts with his ancestor Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi is Zhao Kuangyin Song Taizu's younger brother. As I said before, the throne is handed down from generation to generation. It is true that there are no children, but they are also adopted sons and passed on to the next generation. Therefore, there are different opinions about Zhao Guangyi's superior position. Although history books admit that his throne is legal, many folks say that Zhao Guangyi murdered Zhao Kuangyin.

Moreover, he was extremely cruel to other royal families, so his favorite son who was raised as an heir saw his father so cruel. When the emperor wanted to do this, he couldn't stand being driven crazy. Zhao Guangyi can only raise another son, but he didn't expect this son to be killed by his concubine. So he has only one son to succeed to the throne, and that is Song Zhenzong. Song Zhenzong is worse than his father. He only has one son, and he also made a farce of "civet cats for princes".

Song Zhenzong's only son succeeded to the throne, and Song Renzong divorced directly. He doesn't even have a son, so he can only adopt. But Song Zhenzong, who failed to be adopted, was also disappointed. She had no son, so she had to continue to be adopted. In Zhao Gou, because of the change of Jingkang, the royal family was killed. I was frightened and lost my ability, that is, there was no heir to the throne.
