The Song Dynasty was a very important dynasty in Chinese history, it was established in 1960 by the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, and the system inherited from the Tang Dynasty was regarded by later generations as another glorious dynasty after the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty is not enough to compare with the Tang Dynasty, although its state system and political system are mostly similar to the Tang Dynasty, and it has maintained the unity of the country, but the Northern Song Dynasty has always been a poor and weak dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty experienced a total of nine emperors, and the last emperor was the famous Song Huizong. Although Emperor Huizong of Song was talented and mercurial, and created his own unique font thin gold body, which was highly praised by later generations, as the emperor Song Huizong was not qualified, that is, during his reign, China experienced a great change.
In 1126, after destroying the Liao state, the Jin state took advantage of the victory to pursue, and when the Northern Song Dynasty was at its weakest, it mobilized two lines of cavalry to attack the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning, the northern Song dynasty soldiers and civilians did not care at all about the invasion of the Jin State, and the resistance was very high, almost setting off a national anti-Jin boom. Seeing that the people of the Northern Song Dynasty were so resistant, the army of the Jin Dynasty did not dare to invade rashly, so they proposed peace with the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of Song.
At this time, the Court of the Northern Song Dynasty was very weak in the face of jinguo's proposal, and first sent its important ministers to jinguo's military camp to seek peace. Seeing that the Northern Song Dynasty was so weak, the Jin State bullied the people and asked the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty to personally negotiate with them. The Jin Dynasty originally thought that such an insulting condition, how could the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty agree, but what they never expected was that the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty actually personally ran to the army of the Jin State to beg for forgiveness, and cut the land according to their demands.
What was most infuriating was that for those ordinary people of the Northern Song Dynasty who spontaneously resisted the invasion of the Jin army, the Northern Song court actually regarded them as victims, not only did not encourage them to do so, but also helped the Jin army to suppress the resisting people. In this way, the Jin army arrived at the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty almost effortlessly. There, they burned and plundered, did no evil, not only looted the property of the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, but even the people of Kaifeng did not spare, they almost robbed door to door, and many people were killed.
The great catastrophe that occurred in the Jingkang era is hailed as the most unforgettable humiliation of the Han people in Chinese history, which not only rewrote the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also rewrote the history of China. After the Jin army looted Kaifeng, they still did not want to spare the Northern Song Dynasty, so they captured all the concubines and royal grandchildren in the palace. Even the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of Song and his sons, were humiliated and imprisoned.
Overnight, from the pride of heaven to the bottom, the jinguo army let them be taken back to the jinguo as prisoners of war. Along the way, these imperial relatives were subjected to countless tortures by the Jinguo army. This time, they walked for a total of four months, and the darlings of the emperor's harem became the playthings of the Jin soldiers and suffered countless humiliations. Some concubines were directly thrown on the halfway road because of the long distance, and they were thrown directly on the road, and some were locked up in the desolate frontier old city, and the Northern Song Emperor Song Huizong was also locked up there.
Although in the days of the frontier, Emperor Huizong of Song did not nourish happiness in the Northern Song Palace, but fortunately the People of Jin still treated him well, not only did not force him to work, but also left many of Emperor Huizong's favorite concubines here for his entertainment. So even though he was already an emperor who destroyed the country, the nature of Song Huizong still hadn't changed, he was still wandering, he didn't care about the country's major affairs at all, and it was enough for him to have beautiful people as his companions.
During the eight years that frontiers were imprisoned, he gave birth to a total of 14 children with several favored concubines, and some people asked, as a prisoner, why could he still have 14 children? The reason is difficult to say, because there are some rumors that these 14 children are not all born to Emperor Huizong of Song, and some of them were born after being humiliated by Jin soldiers. But these are only rumors, and there is no conclusive evidence. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if these rumors were true, then Song Huizong's heart should have known it at that time. However, he still let his concubines give birth to these children, indicating that Song Huizong did not care so much about these things, and he may only care about himself.
