Generally speaking, we contempt to call puppet regimes that have taken refuge in foreign forces as "child emperors", such as the puppet Manchu ** and the like, sometimes spineless surrenderers who surrender to foreign tribes are called "child emperors", such as Zhao Gou in the Southern Song Dynasty. In history, there is really a "child emperor" who is not discounted at all and is not miserable, he is Shi Jingjiao, the ancestor of the Later Jin Dynasty, who recognized Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang as his "father"., this godfather is ten years younger than him! In order to become this "son", Shi Jingjiao paid a lot of money, and even sent out the sixteen states of Yanyun before he got back a father.
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns in various places have become self-reliant, among which the military is stronger, and there are five regimes in the Central Plains, namely the Later Liang, the Later Tang, the Later Jin, the Later Han, and the Later Zhou, which are known as the Five Dynasties. Among the other various regimes, there are ten that have lasted for a long time and have been called kings and emperors, and they are collectively known as the Ten Kingdoms. The period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms is a period of great ** in the history of our country, with constant wars, the Later Jin Dynasty is the third regime in the Central Plains in the Five Dynasties, and Shi Jingjiao is the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Shi Jingjiao was originally the confidant general of Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Mingzong, brave and good at fighting, Li Siyuan valued him very much, and married his daughter to him. After Li Siyuan's death, his son Li Conghou and his adopted son Li Congke competed for the throne, and Shi Jingjiao helped Li Congke kill Li Conghou. After Li Congke became the emperor, he appointed Shi Jingjiao as the envoy of the Hedong Festival, named Zhao Guogong, and gave him the title of "Meritorious Hero of Futian Qiyun", but Li Congke did not trust him, but was very jealous of him and guarded against him. Once, after Shi Jingjiao's wife Li attended Li Congke's birthday party, she wanted to go home early, Li Congke was drunk and said to Li: "Are you going back with Shi Lang to rebel in such a hurry?" After Shi Jingjiao heard that Li came back to learn his tongue, he thought that Li Congke was drunk and spit out the truth, so he began to prepare for the preparation of the armyJust in case. Shi Jingjiao and Li Congke, the two first tested each other, and then the conflict escalated step by step, and finally turned their faces and fought.
Completely turning his face means rebellion, with Shi Jingjiao's strength, it is still insufficient to deal with the entire Later Tang Dynasty, in this regard, Shi Jingjiao also has a plan, he plans to borrow troops from the Khitan, promising to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan afterwards, and pay a large amount of tribute every year, and also recognize the Khitan lord as his father, and call himself a child country, Shi Jingjiao also thought of countermeasures before he dared to tear his face. Seeing Shi Jingjiao's conditions, Yelu Deguang was overjoyed, thinking to himself about this stupid hat, this is too willing, it is really stupid and bold. Yelu Deguang immediately drove the expedition and led the troops into Yanmen Pass, Li Congke never dreamed that Shi Jingjiao would be so frustrated, leading foreigners into the country, caught off guard for a while, and finally defeated**.
So the Liao lord Yelu Deguang personally canonized Shi Jingjiao as the new emperor.
For Yelu Deguang, it didn't matter if he had a filial son who was ten years older than himself, and he took Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures into his arms, so that he could wake up with a smile when he dreamed. The sixteen states of Yanyun are also known as the sixteen states of Youyun and the sixteen states of Youji, respectively, Youzhou (now Beijing), Yunzhou (now Datong, Shanxi), Shunzhou, Confucian, Danzhou, Jizhou, Zhuozhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Xinzhou, Fuzhou, Wuzhou, Ulzhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou, including the whole territory of today's Beijing, the whole territory of Tianjin, as well as the northern part of Hebei and the northern part of Shanxi, the realm of the sixteen states of Yanyun is very dangerousEasy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the only place for the northern ethnic minorities to go south to the Central Plains, and it is also a natural defensive barrier on the northern border of the Central Plains Dynasty. Moreover, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is not only an important military defense line, but also has great economic value and political significance, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are located in the transition zone from grassland nomadic economy to agricultural economy, the land is fertile, the precipitation is sufficient, the economy is rich here, the population is dense, after the cession,The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun became the most important tax** and soldier of the Khitan**, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun extended the territory of the Liao State to the Great Wall.
Before the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the sixteen states of Yanyun have been in the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty, and Shi Jingjiao's cession made the Central Plains Dynasty after that, like a sharp sword hanging over his head, and the iron horsemen of the nomads may go south at any time, and there is a danger of dying at any time.
The most wise and martial monarch of the Five Dynasties period, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong personally conquered the Liao State, originally played a triumphant song all the way, and hit the city of Youzhou, just when Chai Rong was about to take advantage of the victory to seize Youzhou, he suddenly fell ill and died youngIt's a pity, a pity.
At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the three monarchs Song Taizu, Song Taizong, and Song Zhenzong all had military conflicts with the Great Liao Dynasty because of the sixteen states of Yanyun, but they all failed to do so.
Don't believe it, the famous faint monarch Song Huizong once recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun. In addition to loving literature and art, paying more attention to life, not being able to distinguish between good and good people, and choosing the wrong profession, Song Huizong did not have any major problems, and he used to be an aspiring young man, and he always kept the ancestral motto of "recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun" in his heart. Sleepy sent a pillow, Liao Dynasty Ma Zhi came to descend, as a vote, Ma Zhi brought a message and offered a strategy.
The information is that there was a rebellion within the court of the Liao State, the national strength was greatly reduced, and the hatred for the newly rising Jin State was very deep; The strategy is to "destroy Liao with gold".Borrow the hand of the Jin State to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. Song Huizong was so happy that he didn't want to, and immediately appointed Ma Zhi as a diplomatic envoy, responsible for discussing the destruction of Liao with the Jin State. Due to the obsession of recovering the lost land of his homeland, Song Huizong withstood various domestic objections and signed a "maritime alliance" with the Jin State, and recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun under the false hand of Jin. But it was also in this war that the Song Dynasty completely exposed its military incompetence in front of the Jin people, which eventually led to the disgrace of Jingkang.
Until the Ming Dynasty more than 400 years later, Zhu Yuanzhang swore in Nanjing to lead the Northern Expedition, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun adopted Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of "breaking its wings", first conquering Shandong, Hebei and other places, and finally waving the capital of Yuan (Beijing).Emperor Yuan Shun was driven away and driven to the Mongolian steppe, and so far, the sixteen states of Yanyun returned to the embrace of the Central Plains Dynasty.
After recognizing the thief as his father and betraying his territorial sovereignty, the "child emperor" Shi Jingjiao betrayed his relatives and left, not to mention how sad his life was. Let's talk about the Khitan people first, because the amount of worship asked for is too large, if Shi Jingjiao can't search for it for a while, the Liao State will send someone to scold him, and Shi Jingjiao has to be respectful, nodding and scolding. There was a red and white wedding event or something on the Khitan side, and he had to hurry to give gifts, and there was an endless stream of messengers on the road. After recognizing his father, there will be a bunch of godmothers, godmothers, uncles, brothers, and even Khitan kings, marshals, and ministers, all of whom have to go to the knotTo mean it, these people are not satisfied, so they scold and scold and speak ill words, and Shi Jingjiao endured it.
Shi Jingjiao was able to endure it, and his subjects looked down on him even more. His henchman Liu Zhiyuan did not agree to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun at the beginning, Liu Zhiyuan said: "It's okay to be a minister, it's too much to recognize your father, just give them more gold and silver treasures, don't cede the land, I'm afraid that it will become a trouble for the country in the future, and it will be too late to regret it." "It's a pity that Shi Jingjiao is obsessed with ghosts, but he doesn't listen. Now seeing Shi Jingjiao's ugly state, Liu Zhiyuan is becoming more and more alienated from him, and begins to support the army and respect himself, and disobey him.
Because the envoy to the Khitan was too humiliating and angry, many ** refused to send the envoy, and the king of the military department was ashamed to bow down to Liao Taizong, and would rather lose his official position than be an envoy. Shi Jingjiao served as a "child emperor" for seven years in humiliation and died in humiliation. After Shi Jingjiao's death, his successor Shi Chonggui was very backbone, refused to be a vassal to the Liao State, and was destroyed by the Liao. The Later Jin Dynasty existed for a total of eleven years.
Although the ancient emperors had a wonderful basket, Shi Jingjiao still lowered the bottom line of the emperor. Hao Jing, a great Confucian in the Jin and Yuan dynasties and a deep admirer of Kublai Khan, wrote a poem satirizing Shi Jingjiao: "The ministers call their fathers what the ancients did not have, and Shilang still has a stench." Time passes, as for whether you have big eyes and double eyelids, no one cares for a long timeleft such a label as "Emperor Er", which was despised by others, and the historian Cai Dongfan's comment "The name and festival are critical, so it should be frivolous!" "It's quite in place, you have to have a face to be a man!
