The reason why Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe twice was because the first time Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe was just for show, to cover up his true intention of ascending to the throne. The second time he wears the yellow robe, he really wants to be the emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin, the famous Song Taizu in history. Zhao Kuangyin's talent and knowledge allowed Zhao Kuangyin to wear the yellow robe twice, and he finally became the emperor smoothly. After Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor and established the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as the leader of the East and West classes. After Guo Wei's adopted son Chai Rong came to the throne, Zhao Kuangyin repeatedly established many achievements. Zhao Kuangyin won the Battle of Gaoping and the Battle of Southern Tang Dynasty in the later Zhou Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin's military exploits were outstanding and his achievements surpassed those of his master. Later, Chai Rong died and his descendants came to the throne. However, the emperor was young and had no real power. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin had achieved great success and had great ambitions.

The first time the yellow robe was worn was during the Chenqiao Mutiny. Zhao Kuangyin deceived the trust of the then very young emperor, and then obtained the military power to mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Although it is said that Zhao Kuangyin's reason was to fight against foreign enemies, in fact, he had turned against him. Seeing that the time was right, Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi and his confidant Zhao Pu put the prepared yellow robes on Zhao Kuangyin, who pretended to be drunk and had just woken up. And took the lead in supporting Zhao Kuangyin as emperor. Although Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to be emperor, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he talked a lot of official talk and shied away several times. Later, Zhao Kuangyin led the mutiny team back to Kaifeng, preparing to attack the young emperor in the imperial city. Later, the mother of the little emperor noticed that the situation was not right, so she took the initiative to relent, and asked Zhao Kuangyin not to kill the little emperor's name, and to abdicate the throne.

Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe twice. The first time was false, and the second time was true. Zhao Kuangyin's military ability is very outstanding, so he can easily become the emperor with great military achievements. The position of emperor is very suitable for his talents and abilities. Zhao Kuangyin was very smart and took advantage of the opportunity to complete his plan. The first time the opportunity was not mature, and there was no good reason to wear the yellow robe, but Zhao Kuangyin was very good at waiting for the opportunity and taking advantage of the favorable situation for himself.

Wearing yellow robes twice is enough to show Zhao Kuangyin’s wisdom.
