This lover will be Zhang Qiong, the life and death brothers of Zhao Kuangyin and Song Taizu, and a loyal follower of Zhao Kuangyin. What really wants Zhang Qiong dead is Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi. At that time, the state power was in Zhao Guangyi's hands, Zhao Kuangyin was already a one-man army, Zhao Kuangyin's life was in Zhao Guangyi's hands, and Song Taizu could not save Zhang Qiong at all. It also involves the question of the throne, which is not as simple as it seems. If Zhao Guangyi wants to be an emperor, he must clear the obstacles on the road, and Zhang Qiong is the obstacle for him to ascend to the throne.

Zhang Qiong was a subordinate of Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhang Qiong and Zhao Kuangyin met in the latter Zhou Dynasty. They are both about the same age and temper, and they get along very well, so Zhao Kuangyin always takes him with him later. Zhang Qiong once saved Zhao Kuangyin's life, and Zhang Qiong stood in front of Zhao Kuangyin, so that Zhao Kuangyin could return to his army safely. After this incident, Zhao Kuangyin paid more attention to Zhang Qiong.

Zhao Kuangyin relieved most military commanders of their military power with a glass of wine, but not Zhang Qiong. Zhao Guangyi has always coveted the throne of Zhao Kuangyin, while Zhang Qiong, as the leader of the imperial army, holds the defense of the capital. Zhao Kuangyin didn't make it clear that he passed the throne to Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi was going to launch a coup at an appropriate time to seize the throne, so Zhang Qiong was the biggest obstacle.

Zhang Qiong Zhao Kuangyin's die-hard followers, it is impossible to wear a pair of pants with Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi must get rid of this threat before Zhao Kuangyin dies. Xuan Shi and Shi Hanqing, two treacherous court officials, framed Zhang Qiong for rebellion, while Zhao Guangyi was actually behind it, just to realize his ulterior secret. Zhao Kuangyin was put on hold at that time, and nothing could be stopped.
