In the ancient capital of Bieliang in 1127, the Jurchens who rose up in the white mountains and black waters attacked the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, Fenjing, and captured Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and people in history called this humiliating history "the shame of Jingkang", and the culprits of the "shame of Jingkang", Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, could not deny that they were responsible for a large part, especially Song Huizong, it can be said that the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was single-handedly promoted by him, and the famous northern Song minister Zhang Chun evaluated it as "anything can be done, that is, can not be an emperor" .
In the early days of the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, the Northern Song Dynasty at this time had just experienced Wang Anshi's transformation of the law, coupled with the hard work of his brother Song Zhezong, the Northern Song Dynasty could be called a rich country and a strong army, and Song Huizong had not fainted to the point of later, so the Northern Song Dynasty was generally developing at this time. However, after a while, his nature was exposed, during his reign, he was extremely extravagant, indiscriminately increased taxes, built palaces, and repaired gardens, although Song Huizong had high achievements in art, but this could not hide his faults, and eventually the Jin people attacked Fenjing, and he himself was humiliated.
The miserable degree of the "shame of Jingkang" I think those who are familiar with history are deeply aware of it, most of the territory in the north no longer belongs to the Zhao family, and the Zhao and Song royal families have almost been swept away, except for Song Gaozong Zhao Shuo who luckily fled to Lin'an, the remaining sons of Song Huizong have all become "prisoners", as for the daughters and concubines of Song Huizong, I needless to say, everyone knows it here. In short, how a "miserable" word can end, so when it comes to this history, Xiaobian is always unwilling to continue to look at it, of course, for Song Huizong himself will not go to sympathy, to some extent, he blames himself, but he is tired of the world.
But the other half of the history books is different, in the Jin Kingdom Song Huizong was indeed humiliated, but his life was not bad, after all, he was once the "king of a country", so the Jin people would not treat him like an ordinary prisoner of war, and on the whole, his life was not too bad.
Song Huizong lived in the Jin Kingdom for about eight years, but in these eight years, Song Huizong gave birth to 14 children, 6 of whom were sons and 8 daughters, from which it can be seen that Song Huizong's life was at least guaranteed, and the Jin people still gave him preferential treatment, after all, the anti-Jin forces were extremely strong in the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, and the Jin people also needed the signboard of Song Huizong to serve him.
At the same time, some of The daughters of Emperor Huizong of Song also married into the Royal Family of the Jin Dynasty, of which the eldest daughter, the sixth daughter, and the ninth daughter were married to the nephews of their sons this morning, and the other daughters were also married to the Jin royal family, and after Jin Xizong succeeded to the throne, the three daughters of Emperor Huizong of Song were successively married to Jin Xizong. Therefore, Song Huizong is nominally the elder brother-in-law of the Jin Dynasty royal family, a veritable "imperial relative and state relative", I think with this layer of identity, how can the life of Song Huizong be worse?
At the same time, Emperor Huizong of Song itself had a title in the Jin Dynasty, and when Emperor Taizong of Jin crowned Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song as "Duke of Huide" and "Marquis of Chongxiao", although this was a very insulting title, it had certain benefits. The official position of "Gong" in the Jin Kingdom was not low, and the treatment at that time could refer to the left and right And Deputy Marshals, which showed that Song Huizong was still very valued by the Jin people in the Jin Kingdom.
Indeed, as a prisoner, Emperor Huizong of Song's life was incomparable to his previous life, and he was often subjected to repeated insults from the Ministers of the Jin Dynasty. However, his treatment in life is still very good, no matter what the purpose of the Jin Dynasty royal family is to envelop him, it can be said that in life, compared with the general princes and ministers of the Jin Dynasty, it is also indisputable.
However, the pain he brought to the Great Song dynasty could not be erased with a single word, and even at the last moment of his life, he had not yet woken up, to know that without his disregard for the government and the government, how dare Cai Jing cover the sky with one hand, and how dare the "six thieves" be a disaster for the dynasty, so for the Song Huizong Xiaobian really did not have a good feeling for him, and what he said before can be said to be self-inflicted.
