Chapter 308 Chapter 307: Zhang Zong Wanyan Jing

Jin Zhangzong, surnamed Wanyan, given name Jing, small character Ma Dage.He is the grandson of Sejong, his father's name is Yun Gong, and he is the second son of Sejong.Empress Xiaoyi's mother is the Shan family.Jin Dading was born in the eighth year and died in the eighth year of Taihe.Reigned from 1189 to 1208 AD. In the summer of the eighth year of Dading (AD 1168), the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, Yun Gong, congratulated him on his precious son. Jin Shizong was overjoyed and named him Madage (because he was born in Madage Mountain). In the eighteenth year of Dading, when Ma Dage was 10 years old, Shizong canonized him as King of Jinyuan County, and began to teach him Jurchen small characters and Confucian classics of the Han family, with Jinshi Wanyan Kuang and Sijing Xu Xiaomei as attendants .

In the twenty-fourth year of Dading, Jin Shizong visited the Huining Mansion in Beijing, and the Crown Prince Yun Gong was ordered to stay in Zhongdu and supervise the government affairs.Yun Gong lived in the deep palace for a long time, immersed in scriptures and books, and knew nothing about handling government affairs.Finally, he became ill from overwork, and died in Chenghua Hall in the central capital in June of the 25th year of Dading.Ma Dage lost his father, and mourned so much that he could only cry. In September, Sejong returned to Dadu and ordered Bin Wang Yongcheng to stay behind in the capital to rectify the chaos and order.He also sent Shi Zaixing, the head of Teng Wangfu, and Yuyuan Tongjin Ali assassin to protect King Ma Dage of Jinyuan County in case of accidents.In November, Lie Zhining, Heshi, submitted a petition to Sejong to enshrine the king of Jinyuan County as the grandson of the emperor and determine the lineage.Sejong did not agree, but changed him to the original king, transferred him to Daxing Yin, trained him to be familiar with local government affairs, and appointed him as the right prime minister in the second year, and he was assisted by the left prime minister Heshi Liezhining.

Just 4 days after Ma Dage served as Prime Minister of the Right, Sejong called and asked, "How long have you been handling political affairs?" Ma Dage replied, "4 days." Is Shangshu Province the same?" Answer: "Not the same." Jin Shizong smiled and nodded: "The local government affairs are complicated and small, and Shangshu Province is in charge of major affairs, so it is different. You are still very young, and you have to study hard to handle government affairs. I asked you to be the right prime minister, on the one hand, to test your ability; on the other hand, to let you familiarize yourself with the government. You have to do it yourself." Sejong also took out the "Yu Map" to let him know the territory of the Jin Dynasty.

In November of the twenty-sixth year of Dading, Emperor Shizong of Jin issued an edict to formally appoint the original king Ma Dage as the grandson of the emperor, and named him Jing.Ma Dage entered Qinghe Hall to express his thanks. In December of the twenty-eighth year of Dading, Jin Shizong was seriously ill. He issued an imperial edict that the emperor's grandson had full power to handle government affairs, and had the power to remove and delegate officials below the fifth rank.Ma Dage was ordered to live in Qinghe Hall.In the first month of the second year, Jin Shizong died in Fu'an Hall.He Shi Lie Zhining and others announced the edict of Emperor Shizong, and Ma Dage succeeded to the throne. This is Jin Zhangzong.

Jin Zhangzong grew up in the prosperous Jin Dynasty when Sejong was in power, and he was deeply influenced by Sejong's literary and military strategies. After he came to power, he continued to implement "benevolent government" rule.At the same time, it changed Sejong's approach to revivalism and implemented a Sinicization policy.He strongly praised the Han system reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, constantly improved various political systems, and realized the complete feudalization of the Jurchens. After Zhang Zong ascended the throne, he strengthened the reform of the official system and rectified the establishment of the three provinces and six ministries.In the third year of Cheng'an (1198 A.D.), Emperor Zhangzong of Jin established the Department of Prosecution and Punishment, which was later changed to the Department of Appeasement. Its duties were to appease people in various places, picket border military affairs, and examine major criminal cases inside and outside the court.There is also a special pacification judge in the department, who is in charge of Jurchen Meng'an Mouke.In the second year, the appeasement department was changed to the inspection department, which was in charge of the trial, punishment and prison, the impeachment of officials, and the persuasion of the people to farm and mulberry.In order to clear up official affairs and improve administrative efficiency, in the fourth year of Taihe (1204 A.D.), Jin Zhangzong imitated the governance system of the Tang Dynasty and formulated the examination method for civil and military officials, that is, the system of four virtues and seventeen most, with different regulations Officials at different levels are promoted or promoted according to their achievements.In the sixth year of Taihe, in order to meet the needs of the military situation, Jin Zhangzong set up delivery shops in various places.The bell of the shop soldier's belt rings and travels 300 miles a day. All documents from the Marshal's Mansion and the Six Departments, as well as the emperor's decree and playing cards from various places can be sent to the shop.In the eighth year of Taihe, Jin Zhangzong imitated the old system of the Liao and Song Dynasties, streamlined the officials of the household department, set up three divisions, and was in charge of the three departments of salt and iron, Duzhi, and persuasion of agriculture.In addition, the Dengwen Drum Court was re-opened, and administrative agencies such as the Judgment Court, the Internal Servant Jilu Army, the Military Weapons Supervision, the Jiafang Office, and the Tiju Yumu Office were also set up.The rapid expansion of the bureaucratic machinery has led to a sharp increase in government officials.

The Jin Dynasty did not form its own complete ritual and music system.It was not until the end of Jin Shizong's Dading period that the Jin Dynasty began to participate in the history of Tang and Song rites and formulate rites and music. It successively opened "Xiang Ding Suo" to discuss rites, and "Xian Xiao Suo" to review music, and the learned prime minister presided over the revision.Jin Zhangzong began to compile a book in the early years of Mingchang, with a total of more than 400 volumes, named "Jin Zhuanxiu Miscellaneous Records", and each of Shangshu Zuosi, Chunguan, Bingcao, and Taichang Temple was in charge.Jin Zhangzong also attached great importance to court etiquette. In December of the sixth year of Mingchang (AD 1195), Zhang Riwei, Minister of Rites, presented "Great Jin Rituals".In the third year of Taihe, Zhang Zong ordered Li Bing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Meng Tian Renben, Minister of the State, and Qiao Yu of Zhideng Wenjian Institute to re-evaluate "Yi Li".In this way, through the efforts of two generations of emperors, Zhang Zongshi has formed a complete ritual and music system of the Jin Dynasty.

Before Jin Zhangzong came to the throne, he was familiar with Confucian classics, "Shangshu", "Mencius" and other classics.After he ascended the throne, he immediately ordered Kong Yuancuo, a direct descendant of Confucius, to inherit Fengyan Shenggong, and issued a special decree to repair the Confucius Temple.Jin Zhangzong also established education and attached great importance to imperial examinations.Jin Zhangzong once ordered that the Jurchen soldiers under the age of 35 must be familiar with the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Book of Filial Piety".In terms of the imperial examination system, Jin Zhangzong continued to implement the Ci Fu, Jingyi, Policy Theory, Law Section, Jingtong System and Jurchen Jinshi Section of the previous generation.In the early years of Mingchang, the system of juhong Ci was added to treat extraordinary people.So far, the Jin Dynasty has perfected its own imperial examination system.

In the first year of Mingchang, Emperor Zhangzong of Jin issued an order to form a decree for the review of the assessment institute.In July of the third year of Mingchang, Sun Duo, the doctor of Yousi, first submitted the "Mingli Pian" he had reviewed, and soon all the articles were completed. Zhang Zong ordered Wang Ji, the transfer envoy of Zhongdu Road, and Dong Shizhong, Qing of Dali, to re-edit and compile it. "Mingchang Law and Justice", and later appointed Daxing Mansion Minister Nipan Gujian, Yushi Zhongcheng Dong Shizhong as the school's official, and the household servant Li Jingyi as the review official, and rebuilt the new law.It was completed in December of the first year of Taihe, and it is the "Taihe Law", which is the most complete legal code of the Jin Dynasty.

Jin Zhangzong also took important measures in the economic field.In February of the twenty-ninth year of Dading (AD 1189), Zhang Zong had just ascended the throne, and he issued an edict to release all the servants and maids of the palace father and ancestors as civilians.In the fifth month of leap, an edict was issued to allow slaves who sold themselves because of poverty to be redeemed and released as good, and their children should also be good.In February of the second year of Mingchang, Jin Zhangzong enacted a law strictly prohibiting the induction of civilians into slavery, and completely abolished the slavery system.

At the beginning of Jin Zhangzong's accession to the throne, he established various systems and inherited Jin Shizong's foundation, making the Jin Dynasty enter the most prosperous period. Jin Zhangzong succeeded to the throne as the grandson, which aroused widespread dissatisfaction and hostility among Sejong's sons.Zhang Zong had long been aware of this threat from the kings. In order to prevent accidents, he continued to deprive the privileges of the emperor's uncles, and set up Wangfu and lieutenants in the palaces of the princes.They belong to the palace in name, but in fact they are Zhang Zong's eyeliner placed beside the kings to monitor the actions of the kings.Among Sejong's sons, Zheng Wang Yongbao and Hao Wang Yongzhong were the most threatening to Zhangzong.

In the third year of Mingchang (1192 A.D.), Zhang Zongjin made Yongzhong the king of Hao, and the sentence was changed to the Pingyang government affairs.In the second year, King Zheng Yongbao and his sister Princess Zeguo were put to death for rebellion, and Zhang Zong added a Sima to the palace to monitor the entrance and exit of the door.The judge of Hedong Tixing paid Lihai a private visit to Yongzhong Palace, and Zhang Zong ordered him to be dismissed from office and given a hundred sticks.Yongzhong was even more dissatisfied. Therefore, Zhang Rubi, the right minister of Shangshu, was Yongzhong's mother-in-law. His wife Gao Tuowo was dissatisfied with Zhang Zong's succession to the throne, and persuaded Yongzhong to seize the throne many times. Cast a sorcery to secretly curse Zhang Zong.In the fifth year of Mingchang, Zhangzong executed Gao Tuowo for the crime of cursing, and began to pay close attention to Yongzhong's actions.Zhang Zong's vigilance and restrictions made Yongzhong panic all day long.Zhang Zong was looking for an opportunity to completely solve the hidden danger of Yongzhong.The time has finally come.Yongzhong's fourth son, Ali Hejue, was dissatisfied with Zhang Zong's various restrictions on the palace. As a result, he was reported to Zhang Zong by Fu Weimi of Gao Wang's Palace. Go and ask.Yongzhong's slave brother De Ge wrote a letter to Zhang Zong to reveal that Yongzhong had said to his concubine Ruixue: "After I win the world, I will make you a concubine." His sons, Shentumen and A Lihe, were beheaded for public display. In the fifth year of Dading (AD 1165), after Longxing negotiated peace, Jin Shizong implemented a policy of friendship with the Southern Song Dynasty and maintained a peaceful coexistence relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty. Throughout the Dading years, although there were occasional frictions between the two sides, no major conflicts occurred. war.After Zhang Zong came to the throne, he continued to maintain peace and friendship with the Southern Song Dynasty. While committed to peace, Zhang Zong also adopted the policy of protecting the border and defending the Song Dynasty, and implemented strict defense against the Southern Song Dynasty.In terms of military affairs, Jin Zhangzong also effectively strengthened the defense force, and he continued to increase the more garrison troops along the border with the Southern Song Dynasty.In August of the sixth year of Mingchang, Jin Zhangzong ordered the generals and schools of the army to reorganize the team, report the generals, soldiers, weapons and ships that can be used to the Privy Council, and ordered the soldiers of the Jin Army to offer suggestions on how to defend the Southern Song Dynasty. In the fifth year of Taihe (1205 A.D.), the Song army invaded Qinchuan and Laiyuan towns in Gongzhou and began to stir up trouble. On the one hand, Jin Zhangzong ordered the Privy Council to write to Song Ningzong, accusing them of tearing up the oath and requesting the Southern Song Dynasty to withdraw; Servant Sankui was the military and civilian envoy of Xuanfu Henan, and handled the defense of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the eighth year of Taihe, Jin Zhangzong and Song Ningzong reached a peace agreement. The two sides called each other uncle and nephew.This year happened to be the first year of Song Ningzong's Jiading, and this negotiation was called "Jiading Peace Agreement" in history. Zhang Zong's Wenzhi and martial arts are outstanding, but his internal governance is not peaceful.He has a favorite concubine named Shier, whose surname is Li.This girl came from a humble background, her father's name was Xiang, and her mother was Wang Pan'er.Because of his father's crimes, Li Shi'er was confiscated into the palace prison, and was selected into the palace as a maid in the last years of Dading. Soon, Zhang Zong accepted the eunuch Liang Dao's suggestion and made her his concubine.Li Shi'er is intelligent, quiet and elegant, capable of poetry and prose, and is very good at observing facial expressions and catering to Zhang Zong.In the fourth year of Mingchang (1193 A.D.), Li Shier was granted the title of Zhaorong, and in the second year he was granted the title of Concubine Shu.Her father was posthumously awarded the Duke of Shangzhu Kingdom and Longxi County, her elder brother was awarded the title of Xuanhui envoy and named Li Renhui, and her younger brother was also awarded the envoy of the Near Servant Bureau. For a while, the Li brothers and sisters became Zhang Zong's favorites. The momentum is smoked and dazzled.Many ministers in the DPRK competed for profit and worshiped under the Li family one after another. Li Bing in Nanjing and Li Zhu in Zhongshan even changed their genealogy and joined the Li family. Before Zhang Zong came to the throne, his wife, Qinhuai Queen Pucha, was ordered to return to Huangquan. After he came to the throne, Zhang Zong never registered a queen.According to the tradition of the Jin Dynasty, the queen must be born in a famous family, Zhang Zong had no choice but to make Li the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty.But in fact, her status is comparable to that of the queen, and the Li brothers and sisters are even more domineering.Concubine Li of the Yuan Dynasty even colluded with Shangshu Youcheng Xu Zhiguo to control the central government, such as the killing of Zheng Wang Yongbao, Gao Wang Yongzhong, and the deposed Wanyan Shouzhen were all planned by them. Before Zhang Zong came to the throne, Xu Zhiguo had worked in the imperial concubine. He knew Zhang Zong was lustful by nature, so he privately taught Zhang Zong the art of the house and bribed the maids who served Li many times.Concubine Li of the Yuan Dynasty also knew that her family background was low. If she wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, she must get the support of officials in the court, so she spoke good words for Xu Chiguo in front of Zhang Zong many times.Xu Zhiguo was even more highly valued by Zhang Zong, and he and the Li family were both in and out of each other, controlling the government affairs, which aroused the opposition of most officials in the court. During Zhangzong's reign, there were many concubines, but he did not leave a single son. Although Queen Qinhuai and other concubines had children, they all died before the age of two or three.In the eighth year of Taihe (AD 1208), Zhang Zong suffered from a cough, which could not be cured for a long time. Before his death, Zhang Zong left his last words: There are two people in the palace who are pregnant (another court lady, Yuan Shi), and if they give birth to a child, they will be the heirs of the emperor. Boy, choose the one who can be established as the heir of the emperor. In November of the eighth year of Taihe, Jin Zhangzong died of illness in Fu'an Palace in the central capital at the age of 41.In the spring of the first year of Da'an (1209 A.D.), the posthumous title of Wei Shao Wangzun Zhangzong was "Emperor of Xiantian Guangyun Renwen Yiwu Sacred Renxiao Emperor" and the temple name was "Zhangzong".Buried in Dafangshan Dao Mausoleum.
