Are Song Qinzong and Song Huizong really so worthless in history?

Song Huizong is worthless because, as an emperor, he pretends to be a poet and a gentleman everywhere, ignoring complicated state affairs and devoting himself to his own literary empire.

Whether Song Qinzong is worthless is actually controversial. After all, when he took over the mess of DaSong from his father, 8 jin j had arrived at the gates of Kaifeng, and his final capture was more because of the situation. Non-war crimes? .

First, Song Huizong Evonne, on the whole, is not a tyrant or a bad king.

After his short-lived death, the Prime Minister proposed to make Emperor Zhezong's younger brother or Zhao Tuo emperor, but at that time, Zhao Tuo had a bad eye for the Empress Dowager. With the support of his second son, Zuo Bian, the Privy Council, and Xu Jiang, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, he advocated making him emperor. Zhang Dun was speechless. Frivolity? The end of King Evonne was thus pushed to the throne of Dasong.

The main reason for moving closer to the Empress Dowager is that Zhang Dun is a radical reformist, which is different from Zhang Dun's ruling philosophy. He firmly carried out Wang Anshi's reform policy. When he was in power, he restored many abolished laws in Wang Anshi's political reform, dismissed the conservative officials who were recruited into the court after Sima Guang took power, and carried out political liquidation on Sima Guang. Even Zhang Dun's good friend Su Shi was sent back to his hometown to support the elderly because of his political disagreement, which was undoubtedly a terrible and powerful political opponent for Xiang Tai, who later supported the old school.

Zhang Dun's suggestion, Zhao Tuo and others, in the eyes of the old school and others, naturally think that this is a reformist emperor in order to continue the political reform, so we must resolutely oppose it and establish Duan Wang as emperor without political attributes. But who would have thought that this struggle for the throne triggered by the struggle between the old and new parties eventually ruined the whole Northern Song Dynasty.

Calling Wang Jin, that is, the position of the emperor, has the same right to dispose of military affairs as the empress dowager.

Song Huizong's performance in the early days of his administration was excellent. After his death in Xiangtai, Cai Jing began to reuse the reformists and dismissed the old-school officials Han Zhongyan and Ceng Bu. One of them is the assistant minister left by the Queen Mother to Evonne, and the other is the strong backing for Evonne to inherit the throne. Cai Jing is one of the three people that Wang Anshi thinks can inherit his legacy (the other two are Wang He). When he was appointed as the right servant, Evonne had been to Xiangtai.

On the day it was built, he was given a seat in the Hall of Peace, and ordered: God made laws and made laws, and the first emperor followed them. After the two changes, the country was undecided. I want the above father's ambition. Why did you teach it? ? Jing Dun thanked first and was willing to die. In the first month of the second year, he entered the left servant.

With the support of Evonne, Cai Jing targeted the reform at the big bureaucrats and the landlord class, saving a lot of wealth for the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was precisely because of this wealth that he could not understand? Be prepared for danger in times of peace? Evonne, Cai Jing and others are becoming more and more arrogant and confused about political affairs. In addition, Cai Jing's public interests are selfish, and the interests of bureaucrats, landlords and the people are harmed. Peasant uprisings, large and small, began to break out in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Song Jiang and Fang La in the water margin, which broke out in the middle of Song Huizong's administration in history. Generally speaking, Song Huizong's achievements in the early days of his administration can be summarized as follows:

Cai Jing was ordered to implement the new law and introduced many policies to benefit the people. Anjifang, Louzeyuan and other nursing home systems cover all aspects of people's life, illness and death. Did it really come true? A sense of security for the old and security for the young? The establishment of the school played an important role in the development of education in the Northern Song Dynasty. Tong Guan made great achievements in the war against Xixia, recovering four states, surrendering to Xixia, stabilizing the northwest war situation, putting down the massive Fang La Uprising within one year, and maintaining the internal stability of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, in the later alloy attack on Liao Dynasty, it was defeated by Yelushi, the last famous minister of Liao Dynasty, which also showed Jin Jun the military weakness of Song Dynasty. In person? Incompetence? Under the rule of Song Huizong, the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty reached the highest peak in the history of China, with a population of over 1 billion and an annual tax of 1 billion yuan. According to the statistics of British economic historian Madison, the per capita GDP of Huizong in the Northern Song Dynasty was as high as 600 dollars, which was not even comparable to that of the most recognized Tang Taizong dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty finally died in Xu Jin, mainly because of the exultation of Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others. They urged to accept Zhang Jue's surrender, which was regarded as Liao's surrender. It turned out that this man surrendered to Xu Jin, and his army and territory were nominally Xu Jin, but this man was from Liao and Han Dynasties, and his feelings for the Song Dynasty were higher than those of the rulers, so he went to the imperial court and expressed his willingness to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

This move was originally rejected by Song Huizong, but it was readily accepted at the instigation of Cai Jing and Tong Guan, which finally annoyed the rulers and led to the expedition of 8 Jin Army to the south and the north. This situation was similar to the Changping War between Qin and Zhao during the Warring States Period. This is mainly a problem for the top leaders, but in this respect, Song Huizong has no commitment, which is too one-sided.

Second, compared with Song Huizong who finally abdicated to avoid disaster, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was unwilling to be emperor from the beginning.

Zhao Huan has a natural resistance to the throne:

At this time, 8 jin j will arrive in kaifeng at the gates. In order to avoid disaster, his father, Evonne, went to Longde Palace and became the Emperor Daojun, leaving all the mess to himself. Jiangshan was not disturbed by Zhao Huan, 8 jin j was not attracted by Zhao Huan, but now it has to bear it alone. At night, thieves either live in seclusion or occupy high positions and play politics. Zhao Huan is not a saint, he thinks he has no ability to turn the tide. After 8 jin j arrived in Xiangzhou, Emperor Daojun even started to run away, completely ignoring his son and Jiangshan. At that time, he was only in his mid-twenties. He grew up in the palace and his political and military affairs were in a mess. I don't know who can help, who is loyal to Zhao Huan and how to defend his country. So from the beginning, Zhao Huan was very resistant to the yellow robe and repeatedly violated his father's will to let him inherit the throne. It was Song Huizong who kept his word, wrote a letter of succession to Zhao Huan first, and then claimed to be Emperor Daojun, and rushed into the womb to personally put on the dragon robe for him, pushing him to the forefront. At this time, Zhao Huan can only be realistic and try his best to save the heritage of his ancestors.

First of all, Amnesty the world and reward the armies with palace property; Secondly, six thieves, including Cai Jing and Tong Guan, were arrested, Tong Guan and Cai You were executed, and Cai Jing was dismissed. Finally, Cai Jing died in exile. Zhao Huan violated the Song Dynasty? Don't kill scholar-officials? The iron order was not only to comfort the people at that time, but more importantly, to let people see their high efficiency and strengthen the morale of various armies; Li Gang, a hawk, was ordered to help defend Kaifeng, intending to use personal expedition, but was persuaded to come down. With the efforts of Zhao Huan, his last car-scrapping broke out in the Northern Song Dynasty. When the Jin people arrived at the gate of Kaifeng, Li Gang guarded Xuanzemen and beheaded 100 nomads. In the two wars of Tongjinmen and Jingyangmen, Li Gang beheaded thousands of soldiers, and Hong Yan Han Zong had already sent someone to make peace. If Zhao Huan had not hesitated between war and peace, the shame of Jingkang might not have happened.

Li gang is more than defending the city and less than attacking. During the fierce battle, Song Jun once attacked the camp of 8 jin j, but it didn't work. Moreover, 8 jin j is very strong, except li gang, all the roads in Song Jun were defeated by him. After all, Zhao Huan is still an inexperienced ruler. He encountered such a big situation as soon as he took office, and he was afraid himself. So when the nomads from the army was going to make peace, he dismissed Li Gang and used Li Liyan and others of the hawk faction.

Summary: Song Huizong and Evonne were not addicted to pleasure from the beginning, and Song Qinzong and Zhao Huan were not used to giving in when they were born.

So-called? Born in sorrow, died in happiness? At the beginning of Evonne's coming to power, due to the dispute between the old and the new, the country became increasingly decadent. Zhao Gou had a deep understanding of this, so he did not hesitate to muddle along between the old and new factions, and even finally stood firmly on the reformist side, suppressed the old school and brought the Northern Song Dynasty back to the right track. This is typical? Born of worry? .

However, in the middle and late period of his administration, Evonne himself paid more attention to literature than state affairs under the condition of long-term administration of the country. Under the concealment of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, he entrusted the management of state affairs to them, devoted himself to cultural undertakings, and wanted to be an emperor with martial arts. This may be several times more than that of Tang Xuanzong, who was very comfortable during sexual intercourse. Both of them were directly responsible for the decline of the country, but Tang Xuanzong asked his son Hengli and general Guo Ziyi to put out the fire for him, while Zhao Huan and Li Gang put out the fire for him.

As for Zhao Huan, it is even more innocent. Only one year after he took office, his father forced him to put out the fire. His ability and experience are insufficient, so he has to be scared day and night. As a fireman, he is not qualified, but Zhao Huan is enough to be an emperor who manages the world peacefully. During his reign? Sound technology, music is nothing. , there is no virtue, even almost drove nomads from retreat, this is ten times stronger than his father ran an accident. What a pity! Chaos is hopeless? Zhao Huan should not take full responsibility for this.
