Chapter 311: See Cause and Effect Again

The civil strife in the Kingdom of Kim immediately provoked a reaction from the surrounding areas.

In the winter of the thirteenth year of Tianhui, the Mongols in the north of the Jin State suddenly rebelled and attacked the Jin State.

In the more than 200-year-long history of the Great Liao, although the Mongols were nominally vassals of the Khitans, they had always been the main frontier of the Liao State in the north.

The Khitans often entered the Song region to rob the Han Chinese, while the Mongols repeatedly broke into the Liao region to rob the Khitans, which made for an interesting picture.

It's just that at this time, the Mongols were scattered into many tribes and failed to gather the strength of the ethnic group, so they could only take advantage of a small advantage and failed to pose a substantial threat to the Liao State.

At the same time that the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, it also received border troubles from the fierce Mongolian tribes in the north.

When the Jin Kingdom destroyed Liao, it borrowed troops from the Mongols and promised the Mongols all kinds of benefits.

However, after the victory of the Jurchens, the "Yuan Covenant" with the Mongols was not honored, thus sowing the seeds of contradictions between the Jurchens and the Mongols.

Now that Dajin was in civil strife, the Mongols heard the news and sent troops, setting off the beginning of the war between the Mongols and the Jurchens.

Although the Mongol invasion ended in failure, the spark had already been lit and could develop into a prairie fire at any time

In the thirteenth year of Tianhui, there was another small incident, which was so insignificant that there was no repercussion in the society at that time.

However, this incident is indeed a shame for the Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Emperor Taishang Emperor Huizong Tianzi died.

The old emperor had a fever and a sore throat, so he had no medicine to eat, so he had to take the local grass recipe in private.

These recipes may be effective for the local population. But the old emperor was delicate and expensive. It is not resistant to drugs. And so he died.

Originally, birth, old age, sickness and death are the inevitable paths of life, and it is not a big deal.

But the problem is that those hateful Jurchens actually put Huizong's body on a stone pit and burned it, and when it was half burned, they doused it with water to extinguish the fire and threw the body into the pit.

It is said that this makes the water in the pit make lamp oil, and the lamps lit with this oil are particularly bright.

"Xuanhe Legacy" recorded: Song Shaoxing five years. After summer and winter, the emperor was so sick that he did not eat for ten days, and there was no longer medicine. If he is sick, stop taking the tea and chew it, and it will be cured. The emperor also entered the emperor's mouth, the taste was bitter, and the throat was full of sores, and the emperor looked at the emperor from the earthen pit. then stiffened to death. The emperor whimpered, and was overwhelmed. Aji Timian Emperor. It can be buried. Ask its customs, it is a cloud, there is no place to bury the sick, the dead will be burned with fire, and half, hit it with a rod, and throw it into the stone....... and then the protector has been in the white house, but lead five or seven people from the other soil, go into the pit, and go to the emperor with wood. The emperor wept until he was in front of a stone pit, and set up a corpse beside it, and burned it with tea and wild vines. scorched and half-scorched, it was extinguished with water, and its corpse was pierced with a wooden staff, and it was dragged into the pit

Looking at it all up, Huizong Zhao Ji can be regarded as the worst one of the Chinese emperors.

The country is ruined, the royal relatives are humiliated, and the wives and daughters are adulterous, and it is really unimaginable what the mood was before death.

The saddest thing is that after death, according to the habits of the Jin people, what cremation is not cremation, burial is not a burial thing, and the corpse is burned halfway with a wooden stick and then buried.

According to the custom of the Han people, what is the difference between doing this and whipping the corpse after death?

However, from another point of view, the death of Song Huizong can be regarded as unjust.

His ancestors relied on mutiny to bully the orphans and widows of the Chai family to usurp the throne.

Although Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, grovelled and deliberately curried, he could not escape the fate of the country. After Li Yu was captured and taken to Kaifeng, the only beloved woman, Xiao Zhouhou, was often called to be raped by Song Taizong, and several palace maids held their hands and feet and couldn't move, allowing them to wreak havoc.

This ugly incident was also painted by the palace painter, which is simply shameless.

Even so, Li Yu did not escape death after the most death, and was poisoned by Song Taizong with wine, and his death was very miserable.

All the good things that Song Taizong did were retributed to his children and grandchildren, the difference was only that the scope was wider, the degree was more intense, and the end was more miserable. I adulterate my wife, and people adulterate my wife, karma is not happy.

Although it is vulgar to use karma as an explanation, it is very appropriate to use it here.

Regardless of the good deeds done by the ancestors, Song Huizong himself will not attract the slightest sympathy.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, he blindly enjoyed himself, appointed the powerful ministers and lucky villains, and procured the flower and stone gang, which made the people of the world miserable.

It was not the material for governing the country, and he had to hold on to the power, in the face of the invasion of foreign invaders, he lost his ground, and fled in a hurry after the Zen position was given to his son, and after the situation improved slightly, he suddenly regretted it, and always thought about how to get the power back from his son's hands.

Usually you are the respect of the Ninety-Five, and you are commanding. Once he encountered the Jin soldiers coming to the city, he blindly swallowed his anger in order to protect himself, and ended up like this, which can be regarded as self-inflicted blame and deserved.

There have been many tyrants in Chinese history, but they are often a little bloody at the last moment, which is a bit respectful. In comparison, Zhu hanged himself from the coal mountain, how tragic and magnificent; Jiang Zhongzheng was scorching the earth to resist the war, how tragic it was.

An emperor like Zhao Ji of Huizong, who is usually fierce and inward-looking, oppresses the people, has no blood to the outside world, and spits on himself, can be regarded as having eyes in this way

In the important year of 1135 AD, a lot of things happened in the Southern Song Dynasty, although it lacked the bloody smell of the Dajin Kingdom, but in terms of importance, it was not inferior.

First of all, Emperor Gaozong called important officials of the imperial court and some famous scholars to participate in and discuss the future direction of national policy.

How to treat the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, and how to treat Liu Yu of the pseudo-Qi?

Is it war, is it peace, when is the decisive battle, and how to make peace?

What should be done with the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong, as well as the other prisoners? Wait a minute.

These important things need to be considered in the long term. What is especially rare is that at this time, the foreign enemy retreated, and the internal bandits were pacified, and it was time to talk about it.

Of course. There is still a distinction between the participants and the participants. The current and former officials of the Southern Song Dynasty were the main figures in this discussion.

This includes Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun, who are in charge of the dynasty. Zhu Shengfei and Lu Yihao of the former Liu Lang. Qin Hui, who is just starting to show his edge, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, who have been abandoned by Emperor Gaozong, Li Gang, who made Emperor Gaozong like a man, and Li Bing, who is unknown, and others.

At this time, Emperor Gaozong still had a bit of a democratic demeanor.

The discussion was huge, but in fact it was time-consuming and ineffective.

Each of the adults involved in the discussion adhered to their original position without flinching or compromising. What he said was nothing more than what he kept emphasizing before.

Li Gang still insisted on going straight to the Huanglong Mansion to welcome the two emperors back to China; However, Qin Hui still insisted on peace talks with the Jin State, implementing the rule of the south by the southerners, and the return of the northerners to the north

What really makes sense is another thing. The twenty-nine-year-old Emperor Gaozong built a school for his adopted son Zhao Jin, and the child had to go to school and learn to be a qualified crown prince.

Zhao Jin, the child, has been in the public eye for three years. The reason why it appeared is that there are a lot of rumors and legends involved.

The two most widely circulated legends were brought back from the far north by the Song Dynasty's ambassador to Jin, and the Emperor Gaozong suddenly woke up one night.

The ambassador's version is as follows: After returning to China, the ambassador actually claimed that he saw Song Taizu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty

This shocked the civil and military ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty!

Invincible. The martial and wise Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, this has always been a legend in the weak Song Dynasty. An eternal conjecture:

If his old man hadn't died suddenly, if the Song Dynasty had been inherited by his direct bloodline, would there still be today's embarrassed and decadent Tang Dynasty? .

Mr. Ambassador coughed and said that he had not finished what he had just said, what he meant was that he found that Jin Taizong looked exactly the same as Zhao Kuangyin.

This made the Southern Song Dynasty quickly form another argument, believing that Zhao Kuangyin built the country alone, but his descendants were scattered and poor, not to mention the emperor, and he didn't even have an ordinary title, so he wanted to take revenge.

So Song Taizu and his old man were reincarnated in the Jin Kingdom in a fit of anger, and incarnated as Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu begged to buy it, and came to abuse the descendants of the bastard second brother in every way!

This legend was so popular that even most of the officials of the imperial court believed in it, or used it as an excuse for their non-resistance.

This legend was a huge blow to the Song Dynasty government.

It's all your old Zhao family's business, what do you care about us outsiders?

According to legend, even loyal and brave people such as the old handsome Zongze had to go to the temple of Cui Jun's Mansion to kowtow and ask for forgiveness before fighting with the Jin soldiers, in order to ask for Song Taizu's forgiveness.

This phenomenon intensified in the Southern Song Dynasty.

For this situation, Emperor Gaozong came up with a solution.

One day, Emperor Gaozong suddenly came out and announced that he had met Taizu and his old man in a dream.

Emperor Gaozong also said that in that dream, Taizu suddenly appeared and instantly pulled him back to the Banzai Hall in the wind and snow more than 150 years ago.

There, Gojong witnessed the whole process of the "Axe Sound Candle Shadow" and the "Golden Alliance".

After that, Song Taizu said to Emperor Gaozong: "If you want the Song Dynasty to continue to be long, it must be my descendants to inherit the throne again." ”

Why would Emperor Gaozong come out and make such a statement?

In a word, legitimacy.

Poor Emperor Gaozong has been plagued by the word "legitimacy" for most of his life

Emperor Taizu's speech was the most authoritative, and the matter was settled.

The Southern Song Dynasty government convened all the descendants of the Taizu family in Jiangnan to conduct an audition. It turned out that in the past 150 years, the descendants of the Taizu family have blossomed and scattered, and there are really a lot of people.

Qualified, that is, the seventh grandson of Taizu, there are more than 1,000 children of the "Bo" generation, and the best of the best are selected, and the most decisive is determined to be on two children, one fat and one thin.

The fat child is called Zhao Bohao, and the thin one is called Zhao Bocong.

In terms of physical strength, it is natural that the fatter children have a good future, Zhao Gou chose Bo Hao, and ordered someone to give Bo Cong three hundred taels of silver, ready to be repatriated home.

Bo Cong walked to the door of the hall, and Emperor Gaozong behind him hesitated again. He had the two children stand side by side in front of him again, and he wanted to be re-elected.

At this critical moment, the decisive role will actually be played by a cat...... (To be continued......)
