Where the histories differ

Discrepancy in the executors of the assassination of Emperor Zhaozong

  • histories differThe specific executor of Zhu Quanzhong's assassination of Emperor Zhaozong

    Regarding the specific details of Zhu Quanzhong's assassination of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, there are differences in the accounts of the two Tang histories. The Old Book of Tang, Annals of Emperor Zhaozong, Part 1, records that Zhu Quanzhong ordered Zhu Yougong and others to kill him: 'On the first day of the eighth month, the day of Renchen. On the night of Renyin, Zhu Quanzhong ordered the Left Dragon Military Commander Zhu Yougong, the Right Dragon Military Commander Shi Shucong, and the Privy Councilor Jiang Xuanhui to assassinate Emperor Zhaozong at the Jiaodian Hall.' The New Book of Tang, Annals of Emperor Zhaozong and Emperor Ai, omits the specific executors and only records Zhu Quanzhong as the mastermind: 'Emperor Zhaoxuan Guanglie Xiaohuang, named Zhu, was the ninth son of Emperor Zhaozong. His mother was Empress Dowager He. He was initially enfeoffed as Prince of Hui. After Zhu Quanzhong had assassinated Emperor Zhaozong, he issued an edict in the emperor's name to make him crown prince and regent over the military and state affairs.'
