Song Dynasty 袁腾飞 8428Words 2018-03-20
During the Jingkang change in the Northern Song Dynasty, the royal family in the Song Dynasty was almost wiped out, so at that time, there was no escape for the royal family members.But there is no way, when the Song Dynasty in Lin'an settles down, at this time, the relatives of the emperor and the relatives of the emperor will become sweet and valuable again.Song Huizong had the most dragon species among the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty. He had 31 sons and 34 daughters, a total of 65 children. Except for the 31 sons and 34 daughters who did not grow up and died young, the rest were almost They were wiped out, except for Zhao Gou.Among them, these sons and daughters were plundered to the north of Saibei with him, and many died in the desert, or in the bitter cold of the northern country.In the fourth year of Jianyan, when the court of the Southern Song Dynasty had just settled down, a ragged woman broke into the palace suddenly. She said that I was the 20th daughter of Emperor Huizong, Roufu Diji, and now I escaped from the north. I want to see my brother.This Diji is the princess, because Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was fun and ancient. He imitated the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty and changed all the princesses to be called Diji.So the local officials, including those in Lin'an, dare not be negligent. This is the return of the princess. As soon as the emperor arrived in Dingdu, he missed his flesh and blood very much. He once issued an imperial edict. Needless to say, my brothers and sisters will send her here, and those who send her will be rewarded generously, so everyone will send her to the palace.Zhao Gou knows that he has such a younger sister, but basically he has never met her. You think the royal etiquette is very strict. Zhao Gou is the 9th son, and this Roufu is the 20th princess. They are not born by the same mother. If This Princess Roufu is real. She was born to Concubine Qiao Gui, and Zhao Gou’s mother was Concubine Wei Xian. What kind of thing, since you said you are Roufu Emperor Ji, he asked the old palace man, the old palace man who stayed in the Bianjing Palace back then, to meet him. The old palace man also had this problem. It is possible that the old palace man It's not a palace servant who served the princess. Maybe the princess was still young when she was taken into captivity. Then, after a few years, the girl has changed, and her appearance has also changed. What can the old palace servants ask her?For example, which palace do you live in, which side does the palace door open to, what do you eat every day, who will serve you, what clothes should you wear, all these questions were asked, and the woman answered fluently, so the palace servants went back to talk to the emperor. It is absolutely true, it is really Roufu Diji who is back.But some court ladies and eunuchs are suspicious, saying that the princess should have bound feet, but this woman has natural feet, she has never bound feet, that is to say, her feet are very big, and the feet that have been bound and not bound are very large. This seems wrong. , everyone knows that our Chinese women's foot binding is considered to be a very important evidence of the physical and mental destruction of women. When did women's foot binding start?Legend has it that from the Five Dynasties, Li Yu, the romantic son of heaven, bound his feet to make him happy, and then danced on the nasturtium, reflecting the kind of lotus flower step by step, which is the same as the lotus flower step by step when Sakyamuni Buddha was born. It is a feeling to dance on it, and it has become a custom since then. Women in the Tang Dynasty did not bind their feet, so the social atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was very open, broad and colorful, and the literati in the Tang Dynasty were not weak at all. In the Song Dynasty The wind of weakness is becoming more and more serious, so women in the Song Dynasty bound their feet. Ordinarily, princesses should not have their feet bound. The princess said, look at me suffering in the northern kingdom. Do I have the conditions for footbinding in the northern kingdom?It is not available, and I do rough work, how can I walk with my feet bound? He asked me to carry water, how can I walk with bound feet?And I came back from such a long desert, thousands of miles of yellow sand, and it is normal for my feet to be big. After thinking about it, everyone thinks that it is normal for my feet to be big.So Emperor Gaozong recognized this younger sister. When the brothers and sisters met, they hugged each other and cried for a while, and then this person was named the eldest princess. The emperor's daughter is the princess, and the sisters are the eldest princess. After recruiting a son-in-law, the little life is lived happily.

Emperor Gaozong talked about restoring the Central Plains and welcoming back the two saints all day long, but this was just talk, but the emperor wanted to welcome his mother back but he was sincere, so this emperor once said, I for my mother, I don't hesitate to bend myself to seek peace, I am willing to bow down to Jin, I am willing to bow down to Jin, I am willing to serve Jin Zhengshuo, the emperor has a very good fig leaf, I am for my mother.Because filial piety ruled the world in ancient China, if you are not filial, you will not be able to do other things, so I am old for my mother, I am restless, and I seek peace for her.After Yue Fei won the great victory in Yancheng, the power of Song and Jin had changed, and Emperor Gaozong's tone became more and more tough. It turned out that he was begging for gold, please put my mother back, but this is not the case now. His tone It was very tough, and he said to the golden envoy: It is a shame and a shame that we can not support our parents.Now that Emperor Huizong is dead, I won’t mention it anymore. You should hurry up and return the queen mother to me, and write this item in the affidavit of reconciliation between the two countries. I am not ashamed to discuss peace. I will use soldiers. If you don’t return my mother to me, I will use soldiers. I will fight with you. As a result, the envoy of Song Dynasty went to the Kingdom of Jin. When negotiating peace with the Kingdom of Jin, the envoy of Song told the Kingdom of Jin The queen mother is just a useless old man in Shangguo, because Song was a vassal of Jin at that time, so Jin is respected as Shangguo, the queen mother is a useless old man in Shangguo, and it matters a lot if she is in this country, so you send her back quickly , so as not to cause war between the two countries, and Jin has indeed realized this at this time, why do you hold her all day long, it is meaningless to destroy the peace between the two countries for this matter.When this Empress Dowager Wei was a concubine, she was the best with Concubine Qiao, so this time Emperor Gaozong asked her to take her back by name. When she left, Concubine Qiao hosted a farewell banquet for her. My sister and I Best, I'll give you a farewell party. When you go back, you will be the Queen Mother. Our sister and I will have a good time. Don't forget that I am still humiliated here. So I will toast the Queen Mother Wei with a glass of wine. I wanted to grab it to drink, but I didn't grab it, and then Concubine Qiao stared at Concubine Wei Xian holding the wine glass, so that she could not grasp the wine glass. Later, Concubine Wei Xian understood, and Concubine Wei Xian said don't worry, after I go back , I will never forget today, my sisters are good, I will definitely take you back too, only then did Concubine Qiao let go, and she drank the wine.Empress Dowager Wei is very scheming. Seeing that Jin Guo is going to let her go, she is afraid that Jin Guo will regret it, so she immediately ordered someone to prepare a car and set off early tomorrow morning. Don't delay the journey immediately. Prepare a car for me. I will leave quickly and return to my heart. Like an arrow.So when Empress Dowager Wei left, no one notified her. As we said earlier, after Emperor Qinzong heard the letter, he rushed up to hold her wheel and cried, saying that the Empress Dowager should go back and tell Ninth Brother that if you can take me back, I will But I need two acres of Susukida and a thatched hut. I will become a Taoist priest, and I will never compete with him for the throne. Hurry up and save me from this bitter cold place. When I entered the empress dowager, I was also crying, saying don’t worry, I will definitely be with the old man when I go back. Jiu said, urging the car to set off, the car drove to the Southern Song Dynasty as soon as the car set off, it was very far away, from Heilongjiang today to Hangzhou, we thought how long it would take to fly today, back then it was by horse-drawn carriage, and even many escorts The entourage, the soldiers sent by Jin Bing had to walk to the foot of Yanshan Mountain. The climate in Beijing is getting hotter and hotter. The Jin people are not used to such a hot climate, so they will not leave, no longer go forward. Let’s avoid the summer here next year. After the summer, let’s go when the weather cools down. The queen mother will see that it’s broken. If I stay here for a summer, if the Jin people change their minds, I’ll be miserable Yes, we have to leave, but the people of the Kingdom of Jin will not leave, just stay here, we will leave after the summer, so the Queen Mother is in a hurry.

What should the Queen Mother do if she is in a hurry?As soon as I saw it, I invited the gold envoy over, saying that you lent me three hundred taels of gold, and when I returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, I would be the queen mother, and I would pay you back twice as much. Well, that's fine, I'll lend you gold, anyway, I'm sure you can't run away, and if you can run away, monks can't run away from the temple. I'll ask your emperor to go, so I'll lend her three hundred taels of gold, and the queen mother will divide the gold into small ingots. Each of her gold men will give one ingot, and my brothers help me to leave quickly, let’s go quickly, take the gold, and the gold looks at the gold, okay, it’s not hot, let’s go, let’s go, so I started to go south, and I went all the way to the south By the Huaihe River, the border between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty is by the Huaihe River. At this time, the envoy sent by the Song Dynasty to receive the Queen Mother also arrived. The two sides are about to hold a handover ceremony. Once the Queen Mother is handed over, this matter will be completed. As a result, the Jin envoy said, When will you return my three hundred taels of gold? If you don’t return it, I won’t do the handover ceremony. In a hurry, the queen mother hurried to find the Song envoy who picked her up, and said to give me six hundred taels of gold, and I will return the gold envoy.In the end, I didn’t expect Song Envoy to be really poor, or lacking in heart, or something. He said that the court asked me to pick you up, and didn’t ask me to give you money, and I didn’t have any money with me, let alone six hundred taels of gold, six hundred taels of gold. The gold is there if you say it, I have to collect it, I have no money, I can’t give it to you, if you don’t give it to the country of Jin, you won’t let it go, the envoy of gold changed color at that time, if you say you won’t give it, you won’t give it, That won't work, if you can't, we will drive back, let's go back to Yanjing, I will go there and wait, when will I send the gold back, and when will I send you back, so the Queen Mother cried anxiously, so what should I do?The deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty came forward and said that I will solve this problem. Don’t worry, Queen Mother. The deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty asked these big businessmen to borrow money along the border, and they were not big businessmen. The business borrowed money, and now the queen mother has no money to go back, everyone hurry up, after collecting the money, you can go to the Lin'an Palace to get the money, everyone is a hero, not only can you get the money, you can also be commended by the emperor.In this way, the gold was barely collected and returned to the gold envoy, so that the queen mother and her party could cross the Huaihe River smoothly and return to the country.After receiving it, Emperor Gaozong was very happy. My mother had suffered in the northern kingdom for so many years, and then she was released. He was very happy when she was released. He led the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials to greet her in person. When she greeted her, he wanted one An introduction, because the Queen Mother has been in the North Country for so many years, she may not recognize everyone of these people, so he introduced who this is, who that is, who this is, who that is, and introduced to Rou Fu, saying that this is the 20th girl , the Empress Dowager Rou Fu whom Niang met when she was a child, when the Queen Mother saw this Rou Fu, her face suddenly sank, and her face became dark, but she didn't speak, she nodded and passed away. When the crowd dispersed at night, The queen mother told the emperor that the real Princess Roufu had died in the North Kingdom long ago, and this must be a fake.The queen mother insisted that it was a fake, saying that you were ordered by Sina to ask her, and then she was arrested. After being arrested, she was tortured. She couldn't be tortured, but she said that I am not a princess, but a nun. I used to be a nun from Tokyo. Nun, in the end, I followed the Jin people and arrested everyone, and the nuns and Jin people did not let them go. Then the army went north, and I sent me with the princess's maid. The princess's maid had nothing to do. We just chatted, and she Tell me about the things going on in the palace, and she said that I look a lot like the princess, so I have the idea of ​​pretending to be the royal family and enjoying the glory and wealth. The matter of the family, the matter of the extermination of the nine clans, anyway, you have become a monk and there are no nine clans, so you killed her. After the killing, the son-in-law is the worst, and the son-in-law is the most innocent. When you asked me to marry her, how could I know that the princess is fake? Yes, this time it’s blown, the captain’s son-in-law is no longer a captain, the house is also confiscated, and the son-in-law is destitute, so the farce of pretending to be a royal relative has come to an end, but this matter is not over, from that incident to the present , Hundreds of years have passed, and historians have endless books. When recording this incident, what do most people tend to agree with?The princess is real, this princess is real, why did the queen mother insist that this person is fake?

Because the concubines and princesses of the Song Dynasty, the clan kings were taken captive to the north, and the clan kings became coolies, so the fate of the concubines and princesses was even more tragic. Basically, they became the playthings of the Jin army. In ancient times, it was equivalent to official prostitutes, basically reduced to such a group of people. The Jin army specially set up a clothes washing yard in Shangjing, which is a place to wash clothes, a laundry room, and let those concubines and princesses wash clothes for the generals of the Kingdom of Jin. Including Emperor Taizong himself, the clans of the Kingdom of Jin often go to the Huanyiyuan to pick people, and take home whoever they like. As these princesses grow older, they are born with phoenix sons and grandchildren, and they are naturally beautiful. To escape this fate, Emperor Gaozong's mother was occupied by the general of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Zongxian, for 15 years, and she also gave birth to two sons, which means that Song Gaozong had two younger brothers with different fathers, and two younger brothers with the same mother and different fathers. I am still from the Kingdom of Jin. When the empress dowager Wei and the princess were humiliated in Huanyiyuan, they both knew each other's details, so the empress dowager was very afraid. If the princess came back, I would come back too. My disgraceful past was exposed. How can I be the mother of the country, how can I be the mother of the world, so she insisted that the princess is fake, Emperor Gaozong may also know that the princess is real, but, mother's life is hard to break, one side is the real mother, and the other is the half-mother Sister, then I reluctantly gave up and killed the princess, so historians insist on such a saying.The Empress Dowager is back, it’s time for a festival, the Empress Dowager is coming back to celebrate her birthday, and the Qianqiu Festival is about to be celebrated. All the officials handed over the congratulatory forms. Emperor Gaozong became anxious when he saw the congratulatory form, saying that my mother was captured. It was 48 years old, not 38 years old. Hey, the officials were very surprised. They couldn’t say it right. How old is your mother? Your mother is the emperor’s concubine. It’s impossible to make a mistake on her birthday. We have it in our genealogy. There is a record in it, how old is your mother, your mother was captured at the age of 38, and now she is 58 years old, yes, no, I remember my mother’s birthday clearly or do you remember it clearly, she was captured at the age of 48, and now she is 68 years old, according to me Now, the queen mother's age has been increased by 10 years. Originally, she was captured at the age of 38, but the emperor changed it to be captured at the age of 48. Why?The emperor gave his mother 10 years older, just to tell the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty that it is impossible for my mother to have a child in the Kingdom of Jin. How can I have a child at the age of 48?So it was all the slander and untrue words of the people of the Jin Kingdom, and he wanted to tell this, so his mother was 10 years older for no reason, so historical records said that when the Queen Mother died, she was 90 years old, which is impossible. People at that time It is impossible to live so long, to become a fairy, 80 years old is already a long life, and it is rare for people to live to 70 years old, 80 is already a long life. At that time, it was very important in ancient China. When the old queen died, she was 80 years old. Years old, not 90.

It is said that she did mention to Gaozong at the beginning that your elder brother is still in the well, did you fish him out, Emperor Gaozong must be very angry, why is my mother so stupid, fish him out and I Where are you going, you are still the queen mother, why are you talking nonsense, the mother brought it up and was embarrassed to refuse, and did not say anything, the queen mother, who is ice and snow smart, regretted it after saying this, the queen mother thought the same, Why am I so stupid? You said that the boss came back and I have something to do, so I won’t mention it. The mother and son enjoy the glory among the mountains and rivers in Hangzhou, Lin’an Prefecture. Emperor Gaozong is very filial to his mother. The heart disease is that he has no children. To whom does Jiangshan Sheji pass, he has no children, because we said that when he was in Yangzhou, he was too frightened because the Jin army went south, so he could not bear children and had no children. This matter must be put on the agenda. Since the emperor has no children, he should adopt other people's children. Who should adopt them?The emperor’s older brothers and younger brothers, the emperor’s uncles, and the emperor’s sons and nephews can all be successors, but the problem is that as we mentioned earlier, the Jingkang incident wiped out all the descendants of Taizong’s lineage, which means that there is no one in the immediate royal family, so if you want to To choose successors, you can only choose from the Yuanzhi royal family. The Yuanzhi royal family is the descendants of Taizu, that is, the descendants of Song Taizu. You can only choose these successors, because there are so many of them, they have been scattered among the people, and they are no different from ordinary people. I can only choose them as successors, and everyone who knows Song history may know this situation. The death of Song Taizu is a mystery. The shadow of the candle and the sound of the axe, the mystery of the ages, many people think that Song Taizong killed Song Taizu, Therefore, the throne has been handed down in Taizong's line from now on. It is very pitiful that the descendants of Taizu withered, because some people persuaded Emperor Gaozong to choose the descendants of Taizu as successors, and the people raised in the palace as successors. Under such circumstances, Emperor Gaozong had to say: the Taizu ruled the world with martial arts, but his descendants did not enjoy the blessings. It is pitiful to suffer from this national calamity and wander around.So he formally issued an edict requesting officials from all over the country, but Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion searched for the descendants of the Taizu, and then sent them to the palace. At this time, the descendants of the Taizu passed the audition, more than 5,000 people, and finally entered the semi-finals. 10 children, 10 children entered the semi-finals, more than 5,000 people selected 10, the emperor selected again, and finally two children entered the finals, and two children entered the finals. One of the two children was fat and the other was thin. They entered the palace At that time, they were all still children. Children in their teens entered the palace and asked the emperor to pick them. The emperor immediately took a fancy to the fat man. Why did he take a fancy to the fat man?There is an emperor's blessing, isn't the emperor Taizu just thick eyebrows, big eyes, big cheeks, this image, this real appearance, at first glance, he is the descendant of Taizu, that thin man is not good, he has no royal style at all.In fact, we see that the emperors of the Song Dynasty, except Taizu Taizong, all have the faces of imperial doctors, small narrow faces, and small pointed faces. Let the thin man go out of the palace and give him three hundred taels of silver as a fee. If you participate in a competition, you don’t win. You three hundred silver, you go, leave the fat man.

After receiving the three hundred taels of silver, the skinny descendant of the Taizu saluted respectfully, dragged the money and walked out. How could a child move the three hundred taels of silver? Very thoughtful, can you hold it for me?The etiquette is very thoughtful. Emperor Gaozong thinks this child is good. You can see that this child has enough etiquette. If I don’t want him, he also understands why he is here?It's about choosing a successor, maybe he will be the emperor in the future, if he is not selected, you can see that he has no complaints, he is very good, the fat man may be a little proud, a cat passed in front of him, and he kicked the cat out with his legs. Yuan, Gaozong immediately became angry, the cat is not in your way, why are you kicking it?Why do you have no kindness at all, if you treat cats like this, what will happen to the people?This is no good, bring the skinny man back, and both of them will come back. That’s it, Emperor Gaozong said, I will keep both of you in the palace, and I don’t want to decide who will be right now, because he is still a child after all, and he can’t see the future yet. Let the two grow up slowly, and see who is who, so these two children were raised in the palace, and later the skinny man was named Jianguo Gong, who studied hard, and had the appearance of a benevolent king, the emperor Name him Zhao Shen, the emperor is about to choose a successor now, how will the emperor examine these two successors in the end?The emperor's idea is very good, everyone will give ten beauties, without a word, every ten beauties will be given to take home, Jianguo Gong led these ten beauties, and he was very happy when he came back, his teacher told him , don't touch it, the emperor is inspecting you, the emperor is testing you, you must stand the test, don't touch it, Jianguo Gong heard it, yes, I must stand the test, I can't touch it, after a few days, the emperor announced, Where is the beauty I gave you?Take it here, physical examination, this physical examination, the ten beauties in Duke Jianguo's mansion are still perfect, and the ten beauties given to the fat man are not good, so the emperor saw that Duke Jianguo is good, and the emperor also knew that this country cannot be entrusted For the drunkards, so this time Zhao Shen won a round, and then we talked about the army of the Jin Dynasty going south. There is no one, can you let the boy lead the soldiers to the front line to resist? After the memorial is written, his teacher will tell him not to touch the teacher who is a beautiful woman. It is also very important to find the right teacher. This person will tell him, no, you How can you talk to the emperor like this, what is the most taboo in this dynasty?The military general rebelled, and the clan led the army. The emperor is most afraid that the soldiers will not be in his own hands. Now you propose to lead the troops to the front. Aren't you violating the emperor's taboo?Zhao Shen was shocked when he heard this, what do you think I should do?His teacher should tell him, well, when you meet the emperor, explain that you are not leading the army to go to the front line, but to defend your father's imperial conquest, and this matter will be settled, so Zhao Shen immediately met the emperor, and I will leave the memorial. I just said a word, you haven’t read the memorial I just wrote to you, the emperor said that I didn’t receive it, that’s great, I left a word, I want to lead the army to protect your royal conquest, so I say that the credit is yours, I just lead troops to protect, the emperor saw that the child is too filial, how could he come up with this trick?Afraid that I might be in danger at the front line, he wants to follow me. Immediately decree that Jianguogong will be promoted to feudal king, crowned king, prince, crowned prince, and he is one step away from the crown prince. Then the quarrying war will end successfully and peace will be negotiated Achievement, the emperor returned to Lin'an, after years of hard work, the emperor is about to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, he had been the emperor for 36 years. From the moment he ascended the throne to the end of the Quarrying War, it can be said that the emperor had never had a single day of comfort. This kind of life without tomorrow, in this kind of environment, so he is very, very tired of this kind of emperor's life, what is he most thinking about at this time?Family reunion, enjoy family happiness, he has been very slack in government affairs, being an emperor is already tiresome, we say that being an emperor is nothing to worry about, any emperor will work until death, there is no such thing as retirement, the emperor does not Retirement is said to be a good thing to do in this position, but Gaozong has not lived a good life these years as emperor. He is really tired of doing it, and he is tired of the government. Another important thing what is the reason?The emperor was nearly sixty years old at the time, and Jin Shizong was full of blood, and he was in his prime. I am 60, and he is not yet 40. I call him uncle. This thing is a bit reconciled, so what should I do?In order to avoid this kind of insult, in order to avoid calling him uncle, what should I do?I quit, let my son call him uncle, so Song Gaozong formally stated that he wanted the throne of Zen, and immediately canonized Zhao Shen as the crown prince. Zhao Shen stayed in the palace for so many years, from Jianguogong to Jianwang, and now finally At the last step of the crown prince, the emperor said that I would quit. In fact, when the emperor said he would quit, he was only 56 years old, so Zhao Shen tried to persuade him to stay, and he was determined not to accept the throne. I would never be emperor. You are still in good spirits now. According to our current standards, you are still four years away from retirement. Don't worry, you can't be the emperor. You have handed over important military and state affairs. If you quit, I won't do it either. Dry.Later, Emperor Gaozong repeatedly stated that I am determined to pass on the throne to you, and it would be unfilial to refuse to accept it. At this time, the crown prince looked at it, oh, it seems that my father really wants to pass on this throne to me, not to Test me, this means that I will accept it. After accepting it, Zhao Shen will be the emperor. This is the second emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Xiaozong.On the day of the Zen seat, it rained heavily. After the ceremony was completed, Emperor Gojong gave up the seat. After the ceremony was completed, Emperor Gojong moved to Deoksugung Palace. The sedan chair, Gaozong sat on the sedan chair, he supported the sedan chair without opening the umbrella, did not lift the cover, let the heavy rain pour himself into a drowned rat, and helped the sedan chair to see each other, walked out step by step, walked out of the palace gate, and did not stop. Emperor Father sent him to Deoksugung Palace in the heavy rain. At that time, Emperor Xiaozong was in his 30s, and he was in his 40s. He braved the heavy rain to send Gojong.So Gaozong was very moved, the rain was so heavy, you didn't open an umbrella, you should go back quickly, after several times of persuasion, Emperor Xiaozong returned to the palace, so Gaozong was very happy, saying that Jiangshan Sheji was entrusted to someone, you see I found it What a good successor, not my own, who treats me closer than my own.Gaozong was the Supreme Emperor for 25 years, and he died at the age of 81. For the emperors in ancient China, there were 460 years of emperors who were over 70 years old. There were 7 people who were over 70 years old. Among these 7 people, 4 people were over 80 years old. , Liang Wudi, Wu Zetian, Song Gaozong and Qianlong Lord, there are four emperors who are over 80 years old. Emperor Gaozong lived to be 81 years old and was the Supreme Emperor for 25 years. During these 25 years, Emperor Xiaozong was very filial, otherwise his temple name What about Xiaozong?Very filial, but the biggest difference between Xiaozong and Gaozong is that Xiaozong insisted on the Northern Expedition, what do you want to do?Gao Zong did not interfere. Regarding this matter, Gao Zong came out to speak, and what Gao Zong said was very reasonable. Who were my subordinates back then, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, did I succeed in the Northern Expedition?Who do you have now?A Yu Yunwen was given to you by me, scholar. I heard that he died two years ago. He was still dead when he became the prime minister. Lord, in the Xiaozong dynasty, there was a king who recovered, but there was no general who recovered.Your Majesty was thinking about the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to restore the old borders, but you had no generals who could fight, so Xiaozong's Northern Expedition failed. The confrontation between Song and Jin has lasted for more than a hundred years, and the confrontation between Song and Jin has been going on for more than a hundred years. It stayed down until later on the Mongolian plateau in the north, a new regime rose up, a powerful regime rose up, this is what was later called the Mongolian Yuan, and it wiped out both the Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty.

In Chinese history, there are various evaluations of Song Gaozong himself for this period of history. Generally speaking, there are more derogations than praises, but some people think that the two Songs established the country and survived by war, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty. In difficult and difficult circumstances, it is a policy to protect the country without losing the national security.From our perspective today, this period of history is just a short moment in the long history of thousands of years in China. It was just a short moment, but it was indeed the most exciting scene in Chinese history. Various characters appeared on the stage, one after another, life and death dramas of love, hatred, love and hatred were staged on this stage, indeed It is the most exciting scene, so there are many things that happened in the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years, such as the Liao established by the Khitan people, the Xia established by the Dangxiang people, the Jin established by the Jurchens, and the Yuan established by the Mongols. Wait for the dynasties, which coexisted with the Song Dynasty. About these histories, we can’t finish this content. I hope to have the opportunity to talk about this aspect with you in the future. This topic is over here, thank you Everyone.
