王审琦 / Wang Shenqi

Wang Shenqi / 王审琦 is one of the禁军 figures connected to [[ZhaoKuangyin|赵匡胤]] in 169.宋太祖之死:烛影斧声,阴谋论中的人性谜团(上). The episode lists him among the commanders whose relationships made the [[ChenQiaoMutiny|陈桥兵变]] environment favorable to Zhao.

Wang Shenqi later appears in the source’s account of marriage-and-wealth settlement after [[CupWineDisarmsGenerals|杯酒释兵权]]. The episode says Zhao Kuangyin linked former military leaders into the royal family and court order through property, titles, and marriage, using kinship as part of [[SongMilitaryCentralization|宋初军事集权]].
