"The west wind shook the door all night, and the lonely pavilion was depressed. Looking back three thousand miles, there are no geese flying in the south. " -Evonne's In the North
This poem was written by Song Huizong in his later years. At that time, he was no longer the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but was imprisoned in the Five Kingdoms City of Jin (now the old city in the north of yilan county, Heilongjiang Province) and became a prisoner who lost his personal freedom.
The first two sentences of On the North Wall describe Song Huizong's miserable life during his stay in the Five Kingdoms City, while the last two sentences express his nostalgia for his old country, regret for the past and despair for the present situation. Anyone who has read this poem, without exception, will sympathize with Song Huizong's bleak evening scene and feel sorry for the ending of The Last Son of Heaven. However, if we know the detailed process of Song Huizong's arrest, many people may have different answers.
It is an indisputable fact that Song Huizong lived a brilliant life. It is also an indisputable fact that Song Huizong was a terrible emperor. Song Huizong, the eleventh son of Emperor Zongshen, was crowned king in his early years. Originally, Dasong's throne had nothing to do with him, but his younger brother Song Zhezong died young. Zhezong had no children of his own at that time, so Duan Wang became the heir to the throne in the order of brothers and sisters. Zhang Dun, then prime minister, once said: "The king is frivolous and cannot rule the world." However, Zhang Dun's opposition was quickly overwhelmed by the opinions of many supporters, and Zhang Dun was demoted and released, ranking in the biography of treacherous court official in Song Dynasty.
Song Huizong has been in power for nearly 26 years, and his achievements are terrible. He can hardly find anything beneficial to the country and the people. On the contrary, the "Fang La Uprising" broke out in the later period of his rule, and the national strength of the Dasong Dynasty was greatly weakened.
1 125, the northern state of Jin attacked the Song Dynasty with 100,000 Jin troops on the grounds that it broke the contract and took Zhang Jue in. The homeland of the Song Dynasty was not affected by the war before, so the overall strength is still in a relatively complete state. At that time, there was no doubt that 8 Jin Army had strong fighting capacity, but with the national strength of Song Dynasty. If we can mobilize the whole country in time and concentrate on resisting gold, the chances of winning here in the Song Dynasty may be even greater. The best proof is that a few years later, Jin Guo was once defeated by the desperate Southern Song Dynasty.
However, when Song Huizong heard the news that several important towns on the border were attacked by Jin Jun, he immediately felt scared. He didn't think about how to mobilize the national strength to resist the invasion of 8 jin j, but ran away with oil on his feet. In order to escape, Song Huizong ceded the throne to his eldest son, Zhao Huan (Song Qinzong). I left the capital with a group of cronies.
Song Qinzong grew up in the palace, and had never been formally exposed to government affairs before. Now, when Song Huizong faced a national crisis, it is natural to imagine that he handed such a heavy burden to the new emperor.
In the process of 8 jin j invasion, Song Qinzong's performance was terrible. A game of chess, the result is unknown, it is up to him. Of course, the main person responsible for all this is Song Huizong. As a father, what is his son? Don't you have a little bit in your heart? Giving such a heavy burden to a combination of a rookie and an idiot, isn't it obvious to send a head to 8j?
11At the beginning of 27, Jin Jun captured Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. More than 3,000 people, including Song Qinzong, Zhao's royal family, harem concubines and ministers of the Qing Dynasty in Guangxi, were all captured. The royal aristocrats who were originally high above the sky suddenly became fish wantonly ravaged by Guo Xu Jurchen, and the result was deplorable. As the first person responsible for the national subjugation in the Northern Song Dynasty, although Song Huizong ended in a sad ending of "looking back at his home for three thousand miles, there were no geese flying in the south", he could only blame himself and his family.
