Modern society is a "face- and", although I don't want to admit it, but there are many people who can eat by the face, and the good looks are indeed a big advantage, after all, the heart of beauty is there, and the handsome men and beautiful women look at it with their eyes. But did you know that in feudal society, good looks were not a good thing, especially for women!
Since ancient times, the red face has a thin life, just like the "Dream of the Red Chamber" said, "The absolutely beautiful and amazing out of the Han Palace, the red face life is thin in ancient and modern times." Even if the king is light in color, why should he draw the work to seize power? In such a background, a woman with a flower and moon appearance is like "walking in the night with a heavy treasure", which may be coveted by evil people at any time, and if she is not careful, she will "crush her bones"!
Even if this woman is a princess of golden branches and jade leaves!
The first beauty of the Northern Song Dynasty - Maode Diji
Maode Emperor Ji, formerly known as Zhao Fujin, was the daughter of Emperor Huizong of Song and Liu Guifei, born in 1106 AD in Beijing, beautiful since childhood, and when he grew up, he was even more out of the pavilion, the national color of heavenly fragrance, ice muscle jade bone, quite a bit of the meaning of the country and the city, so it was deeply loved by Emperor Huizong of Song.
Zhao Fujin was born by Emperor Huizong of Song as Princess Yanqing, and then changed to Princess Kangfu, as Zhao Fujin grew up day by day, his appearance became more and more outstanding, Song Huizong believed that the name of the princess was "unworthy" of his daughter, and even created his own title of "Emperor Ji", and in the third year of Zhenghe, he re-named Zhao Fujin as Emperor Maode.
To say that Song Huizong is also a "talent", I am afraid that those who can come up with such a title are afraid that "there is no semicolon alone"!
After Zhao Fujin reached the age when he should be married, Emperor Huizong of Song personally "palmed his eyes" and selected a husband for his daughter, but Emperor Huizong of Song did not have a good vision, and after thousands of choices, he actually chose the fifth son of the traitorous minister Cai Jing, Cai Xia, who was then in the Xuanhe Palace.
Zhao Fujin, who married into the Cai Mansion, was still deeply favored by Emperor Huizong of Song, so the Cai family was "rising in the waters" and the power was rising day by day, but the good times were not long, after Song Qinzong succeeded to the throne, Cai Jing was convicted and exiled by the clan, only Cai Yu was saved by virtue of the emperor's favor for Zhao Fujin! The Cai family was able to marry Zhao Fujin and also found a treasure!
According to the normal trajectory, Zhao Fujin could rely on the emperor's grace to live a life of glory and wealth without worry, but the "change of Jing Kang" became a turning point for her and even the Northern Song Dynasty!
"Jing Kang shame, Yu Wei Xue, courtier hate, when to extinguish"!
According to the "History of Song": In the seventh year of the Northern Song Dynasty Xuanhe, Yan Gan and MuHan personally led a large army all the way south, divided into east and west to attack Taiyuan and Fenjing, when the country was in danger, Song Huizong resolutely located in the eldest son Zhao Tuo, later Song Qinzong, himself became a "hand-throwing treasurer", and in the first month of the following year, the Jin people's Eastern Route Army soldiers came to the capital city, and Song Qinzong "coaxed" the Jin army by cutting land and paying compensation.
In August of the same year, the Jin army repeated the old technique, and then attacked the Song Dynasty south with two large armies, and in November, the Jin two-way army would be under the capital city of Bian and abduct a large number of imperial people and a large number of courtiers led by Hui and Qin, which was the "change of Jingkang"!
Zhao Fujin was not captured by the Jin army during the "Jingkang Revolution", but her personal maid was captured by the Jin army "one step ahead of her", and in order to protect herself, the maid "strongly recommended" the princess in front of the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, Yan Zongwang, and asked zhao Fujin by name for this purpose.
At this time, in order to protect himself, Emperor Huizong of Song could not take care of the former father-daughter relationship, and did not consider what would happen to his daughter falling into the hands of the Jin people, but instead instructed Song Qinzong to deceive Zhao Fujin to the Jin Kingdom and dedicate it to the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, Emperor Yan Zongwang.
A delicate woman fell into a group of "tigers and wolves" The fate can be imagined, Zhao Fujin was first occupied by Yan Zongwang, becoming a tool for her to play wantonly, after Yan Zongwang's death, she was occupied by Yan Xiyin and received even more tragic treatment, under such devastation, Zhao Fujin, who had only been in the Jin Kingdom for only one year, could not bear the humiliation, and his life was whimpering, and the cause of death was "gu dao rupture"!
Jin Ren was really a barbaric and rude person, and he could bear to insult an unarmed woman so much, and poor Zhao Fujin's generation of beauties was so fragrant and dead!
The after-effects of the "Chen Qiao Mutiny" - heavy literature and light martial arts
When it comes to the Song Dynasty, our first impression is that "redundant officials and redundant personnel, poor and weak", so that the Song Dynasty always had no resistance in the face of the regime established by ethnic minorities such as jin and Liao, and "cutting land, claiming subjects, and paying tribute" became the "only magic weapon" for the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties to deal with aggression!
The root cause lies in the "Chen Qiao Mutiny" launched by Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin was originally a General of later Zhou, and after Chai Rong's death, the young lord was newly established, so he took the opportunity to launch the "Chen Qiao Mutiny" to seize the power of Later Zhou and establish the Song Dynasty.
After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he felt that the "dictatorship of the warriors" was the root cause of the country's troubles, and he was also afraid that others would follow his example and plot to seize power, so he emphasized literature over force and suppressed the military generals, which made the culture of the Song Dynasty extremely prosperous and the armed forces extremely weak, so he had no power to fight back when facing the Jin people!
Poor Zhao Fujin was born in such a weak imperial home, and he fell out of the country and fell into the city, which led to her tragic encounter!
brief summary:
If Zhao Fujin had not been born in the Imperial Family, or had not been so beautiful and beautiful, I am afraid that she would not have suffered such inhuman torture, and the fact that a generation of beautiful people actually died because of the "rupture of the valley road" was really too cruel and sad, it is difficult to imagine what kind of torture she was a weak woman in the Golden Kingdom, beauty is not a good thing for her, but has become the "source of evil"!
What is even more painful is that she was actually betrayed by her father and brother herself, in the face of personal interests, the affection and grace of the past were like floating clouds, of course, the root of all this is still in the feudal society of "male superiority and female inferiority", let us be glad to live in this era of equality between men and women!
