In the spring of the first year of Stegosaurus (960), Zhao Kuangyin, the general of the later Zhou Dynasty, was ordered to go out to fight against the invasion of the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty. However, when the army arrived in Chen Qiaoyi, northeast of the capital of song dynasty (Kaifeng), the Ministry launched a mutiny and put him in a yellow robe. The next day, Zhao Kuangyin returned to the capital of song dynasty and ascended the throne of the emperor. This is the famous Song Taizu in the history of China. Since then, the 200-year chaos after the Anshi Rebellion has ended, and the divided China has been reunified. Zhao Kuangyin won power easily, and the old history books boil down to "people's expectations have returned to them, and when they were in charge of the country, it was not so chaotic, and China and foreign countries began to push the mill"; In the Song Dynasty, the monarch and ministers also called it "this dynasty won the world by conquering it". (Wei Tai's Dong Xuanlu) However, there may be flaws. Before the mutiny in Chen Qiao, it was recorded that his mother, sister, son of political rival Han Tong, bachelor, etc. They all peep at the news that Zhao Kuangyin will return to the DPRK to proclaim himself emperor from different angles. There is also a rumor among the people in the capital of song dynasty that "he will travel to the north, make trouble in the capital city, and be the son of heaven on the day of his departure" (Volume 1 of Sushui Story), the so-called heart of Si Mazhao, which is well known. So, decades later, Li Shu, the magistrate of Zhengzhou, was convicted and dismissed from office for his poem "I don't know how to defect outside the door", but the reason of Chen Qiao mutiny has been suspected for thousands of years. For example, Yue Mengquan said: "The yellow robe is not an ordinary thing, who believes that it is accidentally acquired in the army" ("Qing Xue Pavilion Miscellaneous Words"); Cha Chubai also said: "Chen Qiaoyi, the mystery of the Millennium, will not fight as soon as she wears a yellow robe" ("Collection of Offering a Hall").

At the beginning of this century, Cai Dongfan wrote romance novels and raised various questions here. He said: "Chen Qiao mutiny, yellow robe, historian is not Song Zuyi. I said it was all bullied by Song Zu. " Then he asked, why didn't Qidan and Beihan know more about it? Where does the rumor of testing as the son of heaven come from? Where is the yellow robe? When Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, why did he reward heroes first? ..... "It serves to show that Song Zu's land is deliberate and impregnable for many years", "The first thing borrowed from the North is to hide people's eyes and ears" (Romance of Song History). This view can also be found in some general history and monographs. Shang Yue said: "Zhao Kuangyin lied about the joint invasion of Liao and the Northern Han Dynasty, took advantage of the opportunity of being ordered to go out to war, took advantage of the atmosphere that soldiers stood in Chen Qiaoyi since the Five Dynasties, organized a mutiny, and stood on their own feet as emperors." (Outline of China History) Chen thinks this is a conspiracy. "The so-called Chen Qiao mutiny is actually what Cao Pi said,' I know Shun Yu'." Take Guo Wei, Zhou Taizu as an example: "Even if the yellow robe is added, it is not just the case when Chen Qiao mutinies." (Old News of National History) Zhang Jiaju also said: "In fact, the so-called Khitan invasion is just a false report, just a step for Zhao Group to realize its plot." "Taking advantage of the opportunity to send troops, his plot was realized ahead of schedule." (Zhao Kuangyin)

Another way of saying it, roughly following the old Wei Shi's saying: "When Kuang Yin was ordered to send troops, there was a legend in Bianjing that the soldiers would hold the capital and regard it as the emperor", "It was to dress Zhao Kuangyin in yellow in the middle of the night and force him to be the emperor, and force him to return to Beijing to be the emperor first." (General History of China) Some people think that before the mutiny in Chen Qiao, Zhen and Ding did not "lie" about their military situation. "In fact, this is unfounded" because the commanders of these two States "are not from Zhao Group" and "how can they cooperate with Zhao's mutiny and lie about their military situation?" "It is entirely possible for Qidan to take advantage of the opportunity of' national chaos' next week." (Historical Knowledge No.5 1984) The mutiny in Chen Qiao is well documented, and it was this mutiny that led to Zhao Kuangyin's proclaimed himself emperor. But was this premeditated and manipulated by Zhao Kuangyin, or did it follow the old practice of five generations of soldiers supporting the Commander-in-Chief? This is still a mystery.
