Why didn't Zhao Kuangyin let his father Zhao into the city after he captured Chuzhou? Is it melodramatic or state affairs?

I think Zhao Kuangyin did this in order to consolidate his position and show that he won't distinguish between public and private. Another function is to avoid suspicion and let himself play the leading role. After all, after the capture of Chuzhou, why not let father Zhao enter the city is a very meaningless thing. Of course, if you look at the problem from a political point of view, it will be different.

Zhao, Zhao Kuangyin's father, was born in an official family. When he was young, he was very brave and good at fighting. Also, because of Zhao's warrior, Tang left him in Luoyang as an imperial guard, so capturing Zhao alive in Chuzhou made a great contribution. After his own sports, he was refused entry into the city. I think Ye Zhao should be very angry. Zhao is his father. He should be afraid of his father. Therefore, after the capture of Chuzhou, I think there is a reason to refuse Zhao to enter the city.

The main reason is that on the night of the capture of Chuzhou, his father Zhao led troops into the city in the middle of the night. Please open the door, but he didn't. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was worried that the war had just begun, and someone pretended that his father refused to open the door, which meant that his father and son were close relatives. However, the switch of Chuzhou city gate is a national event. You can't just open the door because of the father and son. Zhao has to wait until dawn. Enter Chuzhou outside the city. Is Zhao Kuangyin talking nonsense? If you suspect that someone is impersonating your father, you can send a subordinate who knows your father out of town to see if it is your father, so why bother?

Therefore, the reason for being reliable is that Zhao Kuangyin wants to gain a foothold, that is, he wants to take this opportunity to express that he will not distinguish between public and private, and he is fair.
