Many emperors in Song Dynasty practiced inner meditation without children.
In the 16th year of Xichun (A.D. 1 189), in February, Xiaozong Zen was located in the memorial site of Zhao Wang, and Zhao Ti was Song Guangzong. After he acceded to the throne, he changed to Shao Xi the following year. Guangzong five years, Li Xinyu manipulated the state affairs, eunuchs and powerful ministers seized the opportunity to steal power, and politics was very dark.
Guangzong was sickly since childhood, and his political affairs were controlled by Li Xinyu. On one occasion, Guangzong casually expressed his appreciation for the jade hand of a maid-in-waiting. The next day, Li Xinyu sent Guangzong a box of snacks and opened it. It turned out to be the jade hand of the maid-in-waiting, and Guangzong had a heart attack on the spot. When Emperor Taizong Xiaozong knew about it, he sent people to send pills to treat heart disease, but Hou Li said it was poison. Since then, Guangzong and his father have long been at odds.
In the fifth year of Shao Xi (AD 1 194), Emperor Taizong was critically ill, and on June 9th, the Great Emperor died. Guangzong never went to the Chinese Palace for advice, nor did he hold funerals. There were many discussions on this matter in the DPRK and China. Shangshu Zuo selected Langguan Ye's family to leave a suggestion to Prime Minister Zuo, asking the Crown Prince Jia Wangzhao to expand the supervision of the country, so as to explain the Chinese people's doubts about the court. Liu Zheng put forward this proposal to Guangzong, and Guangzong said that he would abdicate. Zhao Ruyu, who knew about the Privy Council, advocated giving the Zen position to Jia Wang, but Liu Zheng thought it was difficult to get along with it in the future, so she said she was ill and left. Zhao Ruyu was helpless, so she had to ask the Empress Dowager Tai for instructions by knowing the secret. The next day, Zhao Ruyu asked Jia Wang to be a prince, and said that Guangzong had "the desire to abdicate", so the Empress Dowager Tai agreed. On July 5th, the empress dowager ordered Zhao Ruyu to extend the throne to Jia Wangzhao, but the prince resolutely refused. Later, he was forced to wear a yellow robe and became an emperor. This is Song Ningzong. Han's father is Han Tongqing and Han Yi's younger brother. Guangzong was honored as the emperor's father, and after being honored as the emperor, Li's power was weakened at this time.
Historically, this incident was called Song Guangzong internal reference, also known as "Shao Xi internal reference". (
Song Gaozong retired to Deshou Palace after his retreat, saying that his monthly allowance was 40,000, which was one hundred times the highest monthly salary of a surname at that time. The annual expenditure of 400,000 yuan does not include the daily expenses of Deshou Palace. Every birthday, filial piety should cash birthday gifts. Fifty-two thousand pieces of silver and fifty thousand yuan are the most routine gifts. Filial piety to the emperor's father can be described as filial piety, which not only satisfies his extravagant demands in material life, but also tends to compromise and seek perfection in governing the country. The name of the temple is filial.
Emperor Tai-huang lived a leisurely and moist life for twenty-five years after meditation. Xichun was fourteen years old (1 187) and died at the age of eighty-one. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a passage in Wang Fuzhi's On Song Dynasty, which could be transferred to Emperor Gaozong's theory of coffin-covering: "Emperor Gaozong forgot the grievances of his father and brother, endured the shame of patriarchal society, and was arrogant and not ashamed; Kill the hero, guess the defense again, and have no intention to bear it; There is no forgiveness for relying on a traitor and doing his best to get rid of trouble. The weak steal a peaceful corner, and the survivors enjoy the happiness of lakes and mountains. It is shameful to stay in Xinjiang. "
Filial piety showed deep sorrow for the death of Emperor Gaozong. He opposed the old rule that the monarch mourned for the emperor's father for three years. Although there are factors of filial piety and gratitude, the most important thing is that he is deeply tired of state affairs and is no longer the ambitious Song Xiaozong in the early years of Longxing.
Xiaozong has three sons, the eldest son Zhao Yun, the second son and the third son, all of whom were born to the former queen Guo. After he ascended the throne, he didn't establish a prince for a long time. Probably, he was busy with the northern expedition in Longxing, for fear of causing unspeakable unhappiness to the emperor's father. Third, he was hopeful for the third son but inconvenient to operate.
In April of the first year of Avenue (1 165), Zhao Dun was the first to have a son, and two months later, Zhao Yun also had a son. Zhao Dun secretly strengthened the birthright of the emperor's eldest grandson, and Xiao Zong had to make his eldest son Zhao Weili the Crown Prince. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun passed away and died two years later. After that, the East Palace was vacant for four years. According to the routine of establishing long positions, Zhao Kai should be established, but Xiaozong really valued Zhao Dun. Avenue seven years, Xiaozong flatly offside to build a shop, made Zhao Dun crown prince. In the seventh year of Xi Chun, Zhao Kai died of illness, and Xiao Zong had a guilty conscience, but he explained that the more he built the store, the more blessed he was. Zhao Dun clung to the Crown Prince, eager to see Xiao Zong give him the throne as soon as possible, but Xiao Zong was not ready to let go.
After the death of Emperor Tai's father, Xiaozong grew tired and let Prince Shen decide the affairs of state. At the beginning of the 16th year of Cherish Spring, Xiao Zong officially gave the Crown Prince a Zen position, that is, Song Guangzong. Presumably, another reason for Xiaozong's decision to abdicate is that in the first month of this year, his great-grandson Jing ascended the throne, that is, according to the Longxing peace talks, Xiaozong, who is over 60 years old, wants to respect his uncle who is only 20 years old, which is unacceptable to his strong self-esteem. After the Zen position, Xiaozong changed the Deshou Palace, which was originally abdicated by Emperor Gaozong, into the Zhonghua Palace, and moved here to become the emperor's father. He hoped that Guangzong would let him live in peace as he did with Gaozong.
However, filial piety is not willing to completely give up the internal control of state affairs. Before the meditation, he arranged his trusted veteran Zhou Bida as the left. As a balance, the old minister of Guangzong Yinfu remained as the right phase. As soon as Guangzong came to power, he didn't want to be at the mercy of the emperor's father and promoted He Lian, who was closely related to Zhou, as an admonition officer. When He Lian took office, he attacked Zhou Bida first, and Guangzong pushed the boat to stop it. He was promoted to left and right.
The following year Guangzong acceded to the throne and changed to Shao Xi. Historically, Shao Xi's early administration was "appropriate if desirable", but the actual situation was exaggerated. Although Guangzong put forward many requirements for writing, he only listened to the audience and lacked action. Some officials hit the nail on the head and said, "What he said is nominally beautiful, but the effect of what he said is unclear." In the appointment of Taiwan remonstrance, he not only chose He Lian out of selfishness, but also carefully selected and appointed Liu Guangzu, Peng Guinian and others, which can be described as both good and evil. As for Fu Bo's probation, the stories of "sending letters of condolence" and "worrying about prisoners in the backyard (interrogating prisoners)" in this century are just false stories; Tax reduction, thrift and financial management are still a drop in the bucket. Small benefits are not repeated, but they are endless, and words and deeds are different. Generally speaking, it is not desirable.
On the other hand, Guangzong's early hobby of governing violated the virtue of a wise monarch and gradually emerged. He was particularly interested in singing and dancing and street jokes, and was invited to perform. I used to drink like a dog, but now I drink too much. Although it is a harem life, there is no impenetrable wall.
After the students knew it, they used the imperial edict to intercede, and at the closing ceremony, they compared Tang, who likes to be an official in the meat forest of the wine pool, to remonstrate. Guangzong can no longer maintain the image of eloquence. In a rage, he sent the student to Yunzhou and asked him to study and supervise.
At that time, the emperor listened to Huang Futan's preaching that Li was the "mother of the world" and married Guangzong, and Guangzong still kept him at a respectful distance. Only after I got married did I know that she was a jealous and troubled woman. After being made a crown princess, she couldn't tolerate the increase of maids around the prince, and complained to Gaozong and Xiaozong many times. Xiaozong told him to learn the virtue of being a concubine and warned her: "If you just quarrel with the prince, you would rather be abolished!"
With the title of Queen, Fengniang became even more arrogant. On one occasion, he was cynical. After the emperor's father, Xie and Xiao Zong did not get married. I was so angry that I called Filial Piety to Shi Hao, an old minister, to discuss dethroning. Starting from stabilizing the political situation, Shi Hao thought it was absolutely impossible, and the matter went away, but the relationship between the two sides was full of gunpowder.
Guangzong has only one son, named Jia Wang, who is the natural heir to the throne. When Liu Zheng advised Guangzong to set up a reserve team as soon as possible, Guangzong went to the Emperor's Father. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zong said to him, "At the beginning, according to the law, you should be appointed as the second brother. Because you are as brave as me, you are offside. Now your second brother's son is still there. " The meaning is clear. After Zhao Yun's death, the throne should return to Zhao Kai. There are two reasons for this arrangement: one is to make up for Zhao Kai's guilt; Secondly, he found that Jia Wang was "not wise", while Zhao Kai's son Jia Guogong was an early wise man. Guangzong can't refute the emperor's superiority in righteousness, but his heart is the resentment of the boss, and the relationship between father and son can't be crossed.
Knowing this, Li Xinyu decided to fight for his son's succession to the throne himself. At an internal banquet, he attacked the emperor's father: "I was hired by you;" Jia Wang, it's my own. Why can't I be a prince? " The emperor's father flew into a rage and Guangzong was silent.
Soon, Emperor Tai-huang knew that Guangzong had a bad heart and got a secret recipe. He took a pill for Guangzong when he came to visit. When Li learned of this, he even incited Guangzong to say, "The Emperor Taizong intends to abolish you and prepare Dan medicine for you, just to let Duke Zhao Yi succeed to the throne as soon as possible." Guangzong believed it, didn't go to see Xiaozong, and forgot the original appointment date of 1 month 4.
There are more and more concubines in Guangzong, but Li is a jealous jealousy. One day, Guangzong washed his hands and was very happy to see that the ladies-in-waiting hands in the basin were as white as jade if they were frozen. A few days later, the queen sent a box with the hand of the maid-in-waiting. Li had long wanted to kill Huang Guifei, Guangzong's favorite concubine, so he killed her when Guangzong sacrificed to heaven for two years and didn't stay in the harem. Then he sent someone to the temple to report the news of Huang Guifei's "sudden death". Guangzong couldn't get back to the harem to see what was going on because of the gift of offering sacrifices to heaven. He also knew the evil of Fengniang, but he just kept crying. Coincidentally, the next morning when he made a sacrifice to heaven, a fire broke out. Suddenly, heavy rain and hail poured down from his head. Although Guangzong was not burned to death, many changes were intertwined. He thought he had committed a heinous crime, and he was scared to death.
It was not until the spring of Shao Xi's third year that Guangzong was barely able to rise to the temple to listen to politics, but his eyes were often glassy and his expression was trance. His illness is good and bad, and it is still a bit periodic. It is relatively stable at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and he occasionally goes to the emperor. From beginning of spring to the end of autumn, his mind was basically abnormal. When he is sober, he wants to be a wise king, and he is very happy that he can make the Chen family change from the third place to the first place. However, confusion is a common occurrence. Six months after Shu Ting's death, he still stubbornly believes that he is still alive and has not sent a new coach. In the two and a half years after the end of Shao Xi's second year, the Southern Song Dynasty was ruled by such a psychopath.
Guangzong committed many crimes in a year, when he absolutely didn't want to appear in front of the emperor's father. Xiaozong disagreed with the old crux of King Li Jia, which made him doubt and fantasize that his father would depose or hurt himself. This matter is related to monarch's virtue and filial piety in the view of the liegeman, so the admonition of the near minister and the long speech of the foreign minister advised Guangzong to enter the palace to appear before the emperor's father. Sometimes Guangzong is under pressure and reluctantly agrees to go to the palace one day. At that time, guards and ceremonial guards were deployed, and the people of he cheng stopped to look forward to it, but he broke his word, causing repeated palace storms.
At the beginning of Shao Xi's fifth year, Emperor Taizong gradually became seriously ill. The layman Peng Guinian bowed his head and tried to visit the sick in the palace. His forehead was dyed red with blood and failed to move. From illness to death, Emperor Tai has never been to Beinei once. A few ministers who have seen "Tian Yan" dare not tell their illness, while the soldiers and civilians who have no chance to see "Tian Yan" are angered by Guangzong's actions. Ye Shi suggested that Liu Zheng, the prime minister, tell all ministers about Guangzong's symptoms, so as to avoid people who don't know the truth "speaking out of turn your father". However, Liu Zheng thought that officials never told the emperor that you were sick, letting people float, and the political situation was turbulent.
In June, Xiaozong died, and Guangzong refused to attend the funeral. The huge loss of ownership is an unprecedented change in human relations, and social chaos may occur at any time. Zhao Ruyu, the prime minister, led the ministers to hold Guangzong in tears, but it didn't help that the clothes were torn, and the courtiers were at a loss.
Wu is the queen. Since her death, she has lived in China Palace with Emperor Taizong Xiaozong. She was 80 years old, but she was still calm and ordered Zai Feng to go to the Chinese Palace to send out obituaries. Liu Zheng and Zhao Ruyu, with respect for the Queen Mother, asked her to listen to politics. She didn't want to bear the notoriety of being a woman in charge, but only agreed to act as a memorial ceremony and announced that "the emperor was seriously ill and could mourn in Nannei" to hide the dignity of the court and calm the indignation of the ruling and opposition parties.
This situation can't last long, so I demand the establishment of a protected area. Unexpectedly, Guangzong also reneged on this issue. One is to reprimand Liu Zheng for "replacing me as soon as the reserve team is built"; After that, he criticized "it's been a long time, I'm going to retire", but he didn't clearly indicate whether to open a shop or meditate, which made Zaizhi feel at a loss. Liu Zheng, who was superstitious about his bad luck, once went to the temple and sprained his ankle, mistaking it for an ominous sign. Guangzong gave him a vague rebuke, so he left the thorny political situation and fled the city with a burden.
The news made courtiers and people even more frightened. Zhao Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said goodbye to Zhao Ruyu with the special envoy of Shanling, and suggested that he make a decisive decision and come out to preside over a big project in accordance with the imperial pen of "considering abdication" to achieve the cause entrusted by God. Jade is forgetful and blurts out, "Yes, the other day I dreamed that Xiaozong gave me a soup tripod and carried a white dragon to heaven." Second, Zhao's plan has been made, and Zhao Yan went to work for Guo Gao, palace examination's Qiu, in order to gain the support of the palace guards, which is the key to the palace coup under absolute monarchy. Zhao Ruyu let Han Shuzhou get through the empress dowager's martial arts. Without her approval, the name is unreasonable. She is the great-grandson of Han Qi, a famous minister. Her mother and Wu are sisters, and her wife is Wu's niece. However, you can't just see Wu at ordinary times. He sent a message to someone, and Wu sent a message that you were "patient". But the situation can't be delayed any longer. You Yu asked him to mention Neichan again. I have no choice but to take the way of the former head waiter of China Palace. Guan Li tearfully complained to Wu about the seriousness of the situation. Wu finally told you to be stupid and make a decision to meditate.
The next day, it was the day when Xiaozong lost his clothes. Accompanied by official Peng Guinian, Jia Wang Zhao Kuo was escorted to the north by the army. Zhao Ruyu first ordered Guo Gao, the head of the temple, to lead all the guards to ouchi. Please pass the imperial seal. He and other ruling officials also came to the coffin of Xiaozong in the north and suggested to Empress Wu, who was in charge of politics.
Wu ordered Zhao Ruyu to declare Prince Jia Wang as emperor and Guangzong as emperor's father. Hearing this, Jia Wang fled around the temple pillar and even said "no". Wu called him to stop and personally took the yellow robe and put it on him.
Jia Wang sat on the throne with the help of Han Biaozhou and Guan Li, still talking to himself: "I am innocent. I am afraid of unfilial. " Jade led his ministers to bow down to the new king Song Ningzong. The next day, Wu withdrew from the curtain and returned to politics. Under her auspices, the Southern Song Dynasty experienced a crisis of succession to the throne.
In the absence of an old emperor, the reluctant inner meditation ceremony of a new emperor finally ended. As for Emperor Guangzong, his illness became more serious. When he was sober, he could not forgive his son for robbing him of the throne and refused to see Ning Zong. In a trance, he ran wildly in the palace, and the maids privately called him the mad emperor. He lived for six years after abdication and died in Qingyuan for six years (1206). It was a complete mistake to choose him as his successor in filial piety. He ruled the world as a psychopath for two and a half years, which finally triggered political turmoil and profoundly revealed the irrationality of absolute monarchy.
Gao Xiaoguang lived in four dynasties and meditated three times. History seems to repeat itself again and again. However, compared with Shaoxing and Xichun Neichan, Shao Xi Neichan was actually forced by the situation to replace the throne, which meant that the subsequent Southern Song Dynasty, and even Xichun Neichan, a seemingly virtuous monarch and minister, was unsustainable.
