The Chenqiao military coup and being vested in the imperial robe made it seem that Zhao Kuangyin was the greatest beneficiary, but in reality, it was his brother who had gone through life and death with him.
After all, individual interest is nothing in front of collective interest, and all the generals and soldiers must support Zhao Kuangyin for their own benefits.
If the Yue Army also staged such a scenario for Yue Fei, would the fate of the Great Song be rewritten? The answer is negative, as Zhao Kuangyin had already strangled such possibilities in the bud.
In later generations, when Yuan the Great ascended the throne as emperor, the situation he faced was even more complex than Zhao Kuangyin's. Ancient people did not care who the king was or whose regime to submit to.
Modern people have their own thoughts. Yuan the Great knew this clearly, but he was forced by his family and brothers to take a step that would stink for thousands of years.
