Regarding this famous emperor in history, Song Huizong, I believe that many people should not be unfamiliar, if you count the ancient faint emperors, it can be said that he is indeed on the list. Most of the records about him are of an emperor who experienced the tragedy of the destruction of the country and the death of his family, and endured humiliation and burdens in the enemy country for many years, perhaps everyone knows that after experiencing the Jingkang Revolution, Song Huizong was captured and escorted to the Jin Kingdom, and along the way was bullied by the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom. However, this is not the case.
After experiencing the jingkang revolution, Emperor Huizong of Song watched himself become a prisoner of the Jin Kingdom from the supreme emperor, and on the way to the north by the Jin soldiers, he suffered all kinds of torture and humiliation, and watched his beloved concubines being taken captive but unable to do anything. But even so, the humiliated Song Huizong still did not choose to commit suicide to martyr the country, but instead endured the humiliation and survived, but he did not think like he was waiting to turn over, he was just greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not have that great sentiment, how can this be seen?
In fact, these are not real historical facts, in the historical records we know, song Huizong's tragic situation of humiliation on the way to the northern Jinguo is mostly from the imagination of later people, and the more miserable the description, the more it can arouse everyone's sad feelings after the fall of the country, and inspire everyone's hatred for the enemy country. So in fact, on the way to the Jin Dynasty, what was the actual situation?
The actual situation is that the person responsible for escorting Song Huizong was a marshal of the Golden Kingdom, that marshal was called Guanyan Zongwang, a very kind and kind good person, and because he loved the Buddhist Tao very much, he was called "Bodhisattva Prince" in the military camp. Well, let's get back to the point, so imagine how a man so benevolent would not have fallen to an emperor of Pingyang at such a time. In fact, there really is none, marshal Yan not only did not harass him on the road, it is said that he was doing well.
Among the people in charge of escorting Song Huizong, there was a man named Ajiti, who was also originally a Song Dynasty person, and he once told Song Huizong that he was grateful for his kindness to the Southern Dynasty, so even if he was captured today, he would not be detained on the road. Not only that, this Ajiti also spoke kindly all the way, explained him, and every day there were fresh chicken, rabbit, fish, meat, melon fruits and wine to serve, which can be said to be unhappy. It's not so much an escort, it's more like an escort along the way.
In fact, although the Jin Kingdom is a nomadic people, the Jin Kingdom has been very lenient to the captives since the beginning of a generation of tyrants who have completed the Yan A bone fight, and there are historical records that the complete Yan Ah Bone Fight once issued a decree to the officials and people of Yanjing: "When the king and the master arrive, the surrenderes forgive their sins, and the officials are still the same." "Therefore, after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Great Liao, the clans of the Liao State were also given preferential treatment.
After a long journey of "escort", we finally arrived at the destination of Jinguo. At this time, do you think that without the escort of the old good people who have been with you all the way, you should always be a bit of a prisoner. However, in fact, it was not so miserable, when it came to the Jin Kingdom, Song Huizong was given a new title by Jin Taizong, called "Duke of Duande", although this title did not sound so good, and even with some insulting taste in it, but it was also very supportive of Song Huizong, after all, he was also a faint emperor.
However, in addition to the fact that the title name obtained by Emperor Huizong of Song was not so good, there was nothing bad about it, because in fact, his captive life in the Jin Kingdom was not as bad as people thought, and his treatment was still not bad. For example, this title of "Duke of Duande", in the Golden Kingdom, the title level given to him by Jin Taizong belonged to Zheng Erpin, which was equivalent to the rank of left and right beggar or deputy marshal. In today's terms, going from the chairman of one company to being an executive in another company is almost the same, and it may not be possible to say that there is no resignation at all, but it is not too miserable, is it?
