In ancient Chinese feudal society, in order to maintain political power and maintain the stability of the domestic situation, the rulers would use marriage as a means of mainly serving politics. In a troubled world, nobles such as princesses are only used as pawns in the service of politics, and many monarchs will marry their daughters to more powerful countries in order to maintain peace in the country.
However, the fate of a princess in the Northern Song Dynasty was even worse than this. Because the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated by the Jin Dynasty, this beautiful princess was captured by the Jin people, and she was not only treated as a maihime, but also had to serve the low-status soldiers. Lived in that brutal place for two whole years. In the end, she died of a rupture in the valley road, which tragically ended her life.
A pampered princess
This princess was born at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Maode Diji, when she was born, because of her beautiful appearance, she was given great love by Emperor Huizong of Song, and even gave her the title of "Yanqing" directly when she was sixteen years old, and Maode Diji was also famous in the world.
However, her grace is not only reflected in the title, for her life, Song Huizong is even more meticulous, no matter what will worry about her. When the princess reached the age when she should marry, Emperor Huizong of Song chose her husband especially carefully.
After many screenings, Emperor Huizong of Song finally found the person he thought could match the pearl in his hand- Cai Ying, although the identity of the other party was not a high-ranking official and nobleman, but a table of talents, literary talent and martial arts were proficient, and he was also the son of The most trusted courtier of Emperor Huizong of Song at that time.
In order to prepare for the wedding of Emperor Maode, Emperor Huizong of Song could be said to have gone to great lengths, not only requiring all the ministers to attend his daughter's wedding and congratulating his daughter, but also preparing a lot of gold and silver jewelry as the dowry of Emperor Maode.
The princess who was raised by Emperor Huizong of Song from childhood even if she left the palace and married into the Cai family, she lived a life of gold and jade food. Although the husband and wife did not meet each other before marriage, they were both notoriously talented and talented, so they got along very well with each other.
However, Qinse and Ming's Xinfu life lasted for a few years, and the famous Jingkang Rebellion broke out in history, and Emperor Huizong of Song was an emperor who was only obsessed with calligraphy and painting and was not very committed to the government, so he did not know how to arrange for the use of soldiers to fight, and the Song Dynasty at that time was already the end of the crossbow under his unruly rule. When the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had no power to fight back, and the Jin army quickly broke the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Huizong of Song did not want to be the king of the subjugated country, so he ceded the throne to Emperor Qinzong of Song. But even so, the Jin Dynasty refused to negotiate peace, and sent troops to attack the capital of the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. Emperor Huizong of Song and other princes, noble concubines, and princesses were taken prisoner and sent to the Jin camp, and Emperor Maode became a princess of the fallen country overnight.
Painful captive life
But why is it that the maude Emperor Ji, who is already married, will be targeted by the Jin people? It turned out that the envoys of the Song Dynasty had said to the Jin general Guanyan Zongwang that the Song Dynasty had a very beautiful princess, which made Yan Zongwang have a strong interest in the princess, and it also became the last straw to crush The Maode Emperor Ji.
To confirm the veracity of the Messenger's words. After Yan Zongwang captured a Song Dynasty maid to inquire whether there was really a beautiful princess, the maid panicked and told everything about Emperor Maode.
In order to get Emperor Maode, the emissaries of the Jin Dynasty offered a plan to Emperor Yan Zongwang. He proposed to demand five million gold from Song Qinzong as compensation for stopping the war.
However, Song Qinzong, who was destroyed at that time, could not get it, so the emissaries of the Jin Kingdom took the opportunity to demand that the debts could be mortgaged by women, and the names required that there must be Maode Diji in the women. Song Qinzong did not dare to disobey the Jin people, but he was afraid of directly handing over the married Maode Emperor Ji to pay off the debt, and the people would definitely have a lot of opinions about him as the emperor, so he used a little trick to send The Maode Emperor Ji to the Jin Dynasty.
Emperor Qinzong of Song betrayed fifty-one princesses and imperial concubines and nearly 10,000 women to the Jin Dynasty, and Emperor Maode was one of them. Their plan was to trick Emperor Maode into mixing them up with him and going to the Jin Dynasty as a singer.
After the simple Maude Emperor Ji came to the Jin Dynasty, he discovered the truth of the matter, but it was too late.
In the Jin Dynasty, she was no longer as high as before, completely devoid of the image of a princess, and in the eyes of the Jin people, she was as inferior as those captive concubines and slaves.
Here she is just a singer for the pleasure of the golden people, not only to accompany them to drink and have fun, but also to serve them all the time, in the hands of various men. What is even more tragic is that Maude Diji was asked to perform a "sheep-leading ceremony" with her other relatives, which was a very humiliating punishment in ancient times.
These tortures made Maude Di Ji completely lose hope of being alive, and many times wanted to be relieved by death, but how could the cruel leader of the Golden Army let such a beautiful person lose his jade, so he did not give Maude Di Ji any time to be alone, and all her activities needed to be monitored by soldiers to prevent her from hanging herself.
After waiting for Yan Zongwang's death, Emperor Maode thought that her life would become a little better, and no matter how bad it was, she could take advantage of the fact that no one was there, but she still failed to do so, and a more brutal person targeted her, that is, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty at that time, Yan Xiyin. He had already coveted the beauty of the princess, so after the death of Yan Zongwang, he sent the prince over.
Although Yan Xiyin's appearance is polite and polite, his heart is very dark, and his means are extremely fierce. After Maude Diji arrived in her hands, she had to face a terrible torture every day. Faced with this situation, Maude Diji had no choice but to do what he asked every day to avoid being punished with more pain. Maude Spent spent a year under such inhuman torture, and the next year died of a rupture in the valley road.
summary
In all the dynasties and generations in China, most princesses would marry the families of officials and eunuchs, and their lives after marriage were very happy. But the story of Maude Diji breaks our understanding of the princess, and the final death of Maude Diji is extremely tragic.
In feudal society, even if you are a princess with a noble status, you will become a pawn to be slaughtered because of the interests of the state. The tragedy of the country always warns future generations that if they want not to be the object of arbitrary slaughter, they must develop their own comprehensive strength.
