The Southern Song Dynasty gave up health.

The first reason is that the prince is in a hurry. He'd better make way. Zhao Gou himself has no son, which is also the eternal pain in his own heart. When there was no son, Yue Fei wrote to Li Qi's brother's son to be a prince. He growled and said, Can't I have a son? The result is really not born, but it is unknown to hate Yue Fei! 56 years old, the prince is over 30. If he becomes a monarch again, the prince may be impatient and might as well give way.

The second is that it will be more advantageous for him to speak for the monarch as the emperor of the ether now. Of course, there is no external pressure at this time, and some are internal. At this time, the succession of the prince is also appropriate. In the face of the criticism of ministers, he can also speak for the new king, which can not only ease his relationship with the new king, but also ease the relationship between the monarch and the minister. So it is a very wise thing to choose abdication at this time.

The third is to kill Yue Fei. Although Qin Gui did it, Zhao Gou himself is the supporter behind it. In order to reduce the people's ideological pressure on themselves, the measure taken is to abdicate and make way for the good. It can be seen that Zhao Gou still has his own views at this time. Of course, letting the new king reign at this time does not mean that his power is gone. He didn't hand over all the power to the new king at first, but let him go through a period of time and feel that the time is ripe before handing over power.

Is Zhao Gou's approach appropriate? In terms of future historical development, it is still correct. Under the new king's rule, the country is developing in the direction of prosperity, which shows the wisdom of Zhao Gou. However, the only drawback is to kill Yue Fei. What do you think is the reason why Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei?
