The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
According to the needs of social development, human beings have different divisions of labor. Everyone has their own profession, and which of the various professions do you think is the most dangerous in our lives? Some people may say that being a police officer is the most dangerous, some people may think that construction workers are more dangerous, in fact, no matter what kind of occupation there is a certain risk, that is to say, there will be some dangers, but the degree of danger is not particularly high. So what occupations do you think were the most dangerous in ancient times? Some may think they are soldiers, others may think they are generals, and the author believes that the most dangerous profession in ancient times was emperor.
In ancient times, there were people of different levels, and people of different levels also had different divisions of labor. But among the multi-level people, the average life expectancy of the emperor is the shortest, but even so, but in ancient times, people fought for the throne, and everyone wanted to be the emperor and command the world. However, there is a kind of emperor who is the most pitiful, but also everyone is unwilling to be, this type of emperor seems to have unlimited rights on the surface, on the surface it seems to have unlimited scenery, in fact, this kind of person is the most pitiful, their little bit is under the control of others, and posterity will call this kind of person a puppet emperor. I think that no one in ancient times or in modern times wants to be such an emperor. They have no real power, they live in all kinds of threats every day, fearing that they will one day be killed by their own men, and it is better to be an ordinary person to be free and happy to be such an emperor. There is also a situation in which people are reluctant to become emperors, that is, when the country is facing war, the emperor in this case must not only manage the affairs of the state, but also consider various war issues, and sometimes have to lead soldiers to the battlefield. The protagonist I want to share with you today is actually the second kind of emperor mentioned above- Zhao Huan.
To say that Zhao Huan must start from Song Huizong, according to posterity, he is a relatively qualified artist in history but not a qualified king, and people in later generations feel that Song Huizong is not an emperor material at all, but it is not that he is not suitable for being an emperor, after all, history has proved to us that Song Huizong is not suitable to be an emperor, but in the end he still ascended to the throne. In fact, when he first became emperor, he was still relatively responsible, and he was particularly serious in governing the country and managing the government, but he did not last long and quickly degenerated. Soon after becoming emperor, he began to go farther and farther down the path of the Emperor, and in the imperial court he particularly used traitors, and always indulged the eunuchs around him to do bad things.
Since then, the lives of the people have become more and more difficult, and it is no exaggeration to say that the people at that time were directly living in the depths of the water. This is not the most infuriating thing, the most infuriating thing is that he did not have much talent, but his ambition was very large. He didn't have much effort himself to recover the original lost land, and he also wanted to join hands with the Jin State to destroy the Liao State, but he not only failed, but finally exposed all the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. In the end, after the two countries joined forces to destroy the Liao state, the Jin state began to attack the Song Dynasty.
It didn't take long for the Jin army to attack the Northern Song Dynasty, and seeing this situation frightened Emperor Huizong of Song, who almost packed up his belongings and fled, fortunately, some officials in the imperial court at that time tried their best to stop him and told him that if he did not pass the throne to the crown prince now, he would definitely lose a lot of military morale at once. At that time, Emperor Huizong of Song was eager to abdicate immediately and give this mess to others? Therefore, after the ministers put forward this opinion, he immediately agreed to pass his throne to the crown prince Zhao Huan.
Let's talk about Zhao Huan, he has been the crown prince for so long, but he never expected that he would take over the throne under such circumstances. When the emperor summoned the prince into the palace, the prince did not react at all to what had happened, and his father pressed him to the dragon chair, and he was directly frightened. Before that, he really wanted to be emperor, but he didn't want to take over the mess in this situation, he was directly in tears, it is said that he fainted from crying at that time, and by the time he woke up again, he had become the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Unable to face his father's oppression and the urging of civil and military officials, this emperor was not right. He is also one of the emperors of the Song Dynasty in history, Song Qinzong. When he first ascended to the throne, he also thought about running away, but in the face of external pressure, he had to persevere. Moreover, after consulting with the officials, they discussed a better countermeasure and repelled the Jin army at that time. But then he was captured.
Did you think that Song Qinzong was also quite pitiful in his life, he wanted to be an emperor for more than ten years, when he really became the emperor, that throne had become a trouble, and at that time, he did not take over that trouble, and he became a fallen emperor a year after cleaning up the mess.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
