As mentioned above, the Song Dynasty defeated the Jin Dynasty and was forced to cut off the land and seek peace, and in this chapter we continue to discuss the merits of Song Ningzong through the tragic encounters of two well-known figures in history.
In the last time, it was mentioned that the chancellor Zhao Ruyu was framed by Han Nongxu and then deposed, during which the famous theologian Zhu Xi, the official Attendant Peng Guinian and other emperors wrote to the emperor, while interceding for Zhao Ruyu, he asked for the impeachment of Zhao Ruyu (after Emperor Ningzong of Song ascended the throne, Zhao Ruyu became the sole minister. He quoted the rationalists and recommended Zhu Xi as the emperor's attendant, and Yu Zhu Xi had the grace of knowing), but Emperor Ningzong was not moved, and those who wrote were demoted.
Zhu Xi
The opponent had already suffered a crushing defeat, but it did not completely reassure Han Nongxu, and in the second year of Qingyuan (1196), he launched the Qingyuan Party ban in the name of Science as a pseudoscience, and all those who disagreed with Han were called Daoists, and Taoism was pseudo-learning, in order to attack the scholars of Science, But Song Ningzong had always ignored it. This incident lasted for six years, during which the Four Books and Six Classics (one more "Music") were all called forbidden books, and Zhu Xi was framed as the head of pseudo-learning by fabricating ten major crimes, and Song Ningzong did not distinguish between the dismissal of Zhu Xi from all his positions, and his protégés were exiled or imprisoned, at this time Zhu Xi was 67 years old.
It is said that Han Nongxu can only fight with the party, but in fact, he still has a patriotic heart, and it is Precisely Han who proposed that Chongyue Fei degraded Qin Juniper, which also aroused the resistance of the people of the Song Dynasty. Among them was the famous literary scholar, Xin Abandoning The Disease, who abandoned the literature from the martial arts and could not write and be able to use the martial arts, Xin Abandoned Disease because of his main battle ideas was deeply loved by Han, and was promoted by Han to the rank of Sipin, but Xin Abandoned Disease was difficult to run in the official arena because of his stubbornness, and was dismissed several times, and in 1207, he died of regret at the age of 68.
Xin abandons the disease
So it seems that in the heyday of the Han family, Zhu Xi and Xin Abandoned Disease had very different encounters, so did Zhu Xi and Xin Abandon Disease intersect in history? If it is said that they have a deep friendship, it is not necessarily true, after all, Zhu Xi and Xin Shuyi are more than ten years apart, and one is an anti-Jin general and the other is a scholar, and the two are far apart. However, in history, the two did intersect, Xin Abandoned Disease admired Zhu Xi's virtue and learning, and regarded him as a teacher, Zhu Xi also admired Xin Abandoned Disease's integrity and temperament, and both insisted on fighting against Jin (Zhu Xi was degraded more because of partisanship), so they felt sorry for each other.
Literati rioters, patriotic celebrities are respected by the younger generations, but the two are in very different situations due to fate. On the one hand, Ningzong's reign was the most prosperous economy and population during the Southern Song Dynasty. On the other hand, throughout the Song Dynasty, there was always a heavy emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, and there was a big gap between its strength and the warlike Jin State. And the war is not enough, and the peace is unwilling.
At this point, more than a dozen years of Emperor Ningzong's reign have been described, and in the next chapter we will talk about the misery of Han Nongxu's later period and the tragic situation of Song under the arbitrariness of Emperor Ningzong's next chancellor, Shi Miyuan.
This article is divided into three chapters, this is the second chapter, to know what happened later, and listen to the next chapter to decompose.
