Since the end of Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao Mutiny, the Song Dynasty was officially established. But the scenery of the Song Dynasty has not lasted for a few yearsThe situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the people of the Jin country were defeated and retreated.
Even at the beginning of the second year of Jingkang, the capital Kaifeng was breached, and Song Huizong and Song Qinzong and more than 3,000 members of the royal family became prisoners of the Jin State.
However, during the nine years of his captivity, Song Huizong actually gave birth to fourteen children in a foreign land. Could it be that this is because the living conditions of the prisoners are too good, so that Song Huizong is not happy?
Since the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the hard work of several generations of emperors, the country as a whole is also thriving. But when the throne came into the hands of Song Huizong, everything changed.
Song Huizong was the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not his turn to take the throne at all, but his eldest brother Song Zhezong died young, and he didn't even leave a child when he died.
Later, the ministers picked and chose among the royal clans, and Zhao Ji was selected.
Song Huizong's "Listening to the Qin").
Maybe Song Huizong himself didn't expect that he would be the emperor one dayHe really didn't have the ambition and talent to be an emperor
After becoming the emperor, Song Huizong was very leisurely every day. He knew that his ancestors had left him with a bunch of thorny questions. But he was in a very good state of mind, and he felt that since his brother and father couldn't solve these problems, he didn't have to worry about himself.
So he began to reuse some traitors and delegate power to these people. He picks his own children, indulges in literary and artistic hobbies every day, raises flowers and teases birds, and engages in calligraphy creation.
Song Huizong Xingshu).
Later, Song Huizong may have gradually realized that the Northern Song Dynasty may have been screwed up in his hands. He didn't want to be the last emperor, and he was afraid that he would have no face to face his ancestors and ancestors after he died.
So he learned from the pain and came up with an excellent way, that is, to pass the throne to his son Zhao Huan.
It is said that the tiger father has no dog, and this sentence is used in reverse.
Zhao Huan is not a genius in governing the world, although he has actively made some changes after taking the throneBut it's just scratching the itch of the boot and to no avail.
As a result, under the toss of these two fathers and sons, the internal class contradictions in the Northern Song Dynasty became more and more intense, and the national strength was declining.
However, just when the Northern Song Dynasty began to go downhill,His neighbors Jin and Liao are accumulating strength and preparing to take advantage of the fire to rob.
In 1125 A.D., the people of the Jin Kingdom found a great opportunity, and they used Zhang Jue's incident as a reasonA war began against the Northern Song Dynasty.
When the Jin army attacked, the Song army naturally resisted bravely, but its military strength was too weak. After two battles of Kaifeng, it was finally unable to resist the attack of the Jin army. In the end, the Jin army went all the way into a no-man's land and broke through the capital Kaifeng.
Shame on Jingkang).In the second year of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty officially declared its demise, Jin Taizong also issued an edict to demote the father and son to concubines, and set up a new emperor Zhang Bangchang, with the country name "Da Chu".
Since the Jin army entered the capital, it has looted the entire Kaifeng, and all the gold and silver treasures that can be moved have been taken awayIn the end, he didn't even let anyone go.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, including more than 3,000 people from the royal family, were all reduced to prisoners and escorted to Beijing. Because the number of people escorted this time is too much, so the Jin army divided them into several groups and guarded them separately.
On the way to the northern hunt) there was a group of captives, all of whom were concubines in the harem, palace maids, or daughters of aristocratic clans.
They are all pampered, with fine skin and tender meat, and their fate on the way north is very miserable.
Most of them were ruined or ** by the Jin soldiers, and many of them committed suicide due to humiliation. Others died on the road because of the fatigue of traveling, and very few finally reached their destination alive.
In comparison, Song Huizong's treatment was indeed quite good.
Wanyan Zonghan was very polite to him, and when they arrived at Zhending Mansion, Wanyan Zonghan did not deliberately make things difficult, which embarrassed Song Huizong.
But the city that entered with him still saved some face for him, the emperor.
At that time, the people of Zhending Mansion were oppressed by the policy of power because they refused to obey the Jin people. Some people would rather commit suicide in order to preserve their integrity, while others live and struggle under oppression all day long.
And at this time, they saw their own emperor。For a while, I couldn't help but cry bitterly from it.
Song Huizong was also sad when he saw this situation, thinking that he was ashamed of the people of the world, and couldn't help crying.
Although Song Huizong revealed his infinite attachment to his homeland and the people in front of Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonghan did not bother with him in this matterOn the contrary, he entertained Song Huizong well.
Song Huizong is also a very familiar person, I know how to bend and stretch. When he was invited to a banquet by Jin Ren, he even improvised a poem to cheer everyone up.
Song Huizong) Song Huizong's style won the favor of the Jin peopleIn addition, Wanyan Zongwang intends to save his face, so he can be regarded as having a peaceful life along the way.
Although on the way to the north hunt, the atmosphere between Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan and Song Huizong was quite harmonious, but this did not mean that Song Huizong was treated preferentially.
When Song Huizong and his party were still on their way north, the Jin people got the news that Song Gaozong Zhao Gou had ascended the throne, overthrew their original fake Da Chu.
At this time, the Jin people had just gone through a series of wars, although they had gained a lot. But the army was exhausted and unfit to continue fighting。So for Jin Ren, the wisest strategy at the moment is to make peace with Zhao Gou.
In view of this, the Jin people still have to keep the lives of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong and others, and they can't immediately tear their faces with Zhao Gou.
As a result, the Jin people imprisoned all the ordinary clan members in Xianlu Temple and sent heavy troops to guard them。The more noble royal families such as Song Huizong's father and son were sent to Zhongjing in the Jin Kingdom.
Zhongjing is located in present-day Inner Mongolia, very far from the hinterland of the Central Plains. In addition, the climate here is cold, materials are scarce, and the living conditions are very difficult.
Zhongjing) and Song Huizong never left the Central Plains in the first few decades of his life, but this walk came to such a far away place from home.
This made him very painful, and wrote the poem "Looking back at three thousand miles, seeing that there are no geese flying in the south of the sky" in ZhongjingEvery word and sentence reveals a deep sense of sadness.
During the nine years that Song Huizong was a prisoner in Zhongjing, his living treatment was definitely not good.
Materially, they lack food and clothing, and live a miserable lifeMentally, he was tormented by the longing for his hometown every day. As for giving birth to multiple children in nine years, maybe it's just a helpless move for him to be happy in his suffering.
