Jing Kang shame, Ju Wei Xue, courtier hate, when will it be extinguished?
—Yue Fei, "Man Jiang Hong"
The difficulty of Jing Kang left the hatred and shame left to the bones of the Great Song. Not only were the two emperors, Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song captured alive, but more than 3,000 harem women were also brought back to the north by Jin Bing. Among these women, from the empress dowager, concubines, and princesses to ordinary palace women, they all suffered inhuman torture and humiliation, and the end was unbearable.
Zhao Duofu, the twenty-first daughter of Emperor Huizong of Song, was given the title of Emperor Ji of Ruofu, who was seventeen years old at the time and had not yet married, and was among them at that time.
Princess Johor was supposed to die in obscurity in a tragic situation like her sisters, but what the princess still remembers to this day is because of a strange case that happened later: the case of the true and false princess.
After the Jing Kang Disaster, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty crossed south and changed his name to Jianyan, which was known as the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the fourth year of Jianyan, the Song army captured a woman in a battle against bandits, who claimed to be Emperor Ji of Johor, the half-sister of the current emperor. The generals of the Song army did not dare to slacken off, and quickly sent them to the imperial palace.
When Zhao Zhao listened, he was also quite puzzled: How could so many people have been taken away during the Jing Kang Disaster, and there is no one who escaped to the heavens, princess Roufu, a weak woman, how can she escape back alone?
Zhao Zhuo immediately ordered that he find a few old people in the palace to inspect the scene, and the results were all returned: it was indeed the same as Princess Roufu, and the old things in the palace had been answered correctly. The only doubt was that Princess Joofuku had been foot-tied before, but this woman was a pair of big feet.
Hearing the return, Zhao Zhuo couldn't sit still and went to the scene in person. Although they are brothers and sisters, there are too many royal brothers and sisters, and Zhao Shuo is not very familiar with them, but he also vaguely remembers that this woman is indeed like Princess Johor, but she can't let go of a pair of big feet, and asks questions at the moment. This woman claimed that she had been arrested by the Jin people for all these years, when the cattle were horses, tortured to the end, it was difficult to escape by the gap, a pair of bare feet, thousands of miles away, how could it be the small feet of that year? Stop crying.
This crying immediately made Zhao Zhuo sigh and burst into tears, and he recognized this sister who had escaped back on the spot. Emperor Huizong of Song's daughter was left with this one, and Zhao Shuo was also particularly kind to this sister: first he crowned her as the Princess of Fuguo, and let her marry Gao Shirong, the defensive envoy of Yongzhou, not only that, the rewards given before and after reached 470,000 taels.
Princess Johori lived a prosperous, carefree and happy life with her horse under the grace of the emperor's brother until twelve years later...
In the twelfth year of Shaoxing, after Zhao Zhuo signed the Shaoxing Peace Agreement with the Jin State at the expense of Yue Fei, Emperor Gaozong's biological mother, Wei Xianfei, finally returned to the Southern Song Dynasty with the coffin of Emperor Huizong of Song.
After Princess Wei Xianfei returned to China, she was given the title of Empress Dowager Xianren, and just a few days after her return, Zhao Zhuo was sure to accompany her mother Empress Wei to talk about her experience since the separation, and naturally mentioned the matter of Princess Roufu. Who knew that Empress Wei was shocked and said: When I was in the Golden Kingdom, I was detained with Roufu, roufu couldn't stand the torture, she had already died of illness, and I watched her be buried!
Zhao Zhuo was furious and immediately sent someone to arrest Princess Roufu and hand her over to Dali Temple for interrogation, and finally the trial was made:
This Princess Of Roufu was actually Li Jingshan, a nun of the Qianming Temple in Kaifeng Province, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, and during the Jingkang Rebellion, she once met a palace maid named Zhang Xi'er who was next to Princess Yisu's concubine (Roufu's biological mother), and learned a lot of secret affairs through Zhang Xi'er. Zhang Xi'er also said that Jing Shan looked very much like Princess Roufu, and this Jing Shan kept her heart and deliberately imitated Rou Fu's behavior, and Zhang Xi'er also praised her for imitating eight or nine points. Later, the soldiers were in chaos, Jingshan was abducted and sold many times, and finally was kidnapped by bandits, married to a little minions, and was captured in a raid by the Song army, in order to survive, she had a clever move and pretended to be Princess Roufu.
After the trial, this Jing Shan Master, who had enjoyed the blessings of more than ten years, was beheaded and shown to the public.
This sensational true and false princess case has become the focus of heated discussion in the streets and alleys for a while. At that time, many people had different views, and to this day, people are constantly arguing. The focus of everyone's debate was: Was it the so-called Kaifeng nun Li Jingshan who was beheaded at that time, or the Princess Of Roufu who really escaped from the Jin Kingdom?
It is believed that the beheaded is the real Princess Johor, and the opinions are represented by the Records of the Four Dynasties, the main reasons are:
1. When Princess Johori was found, it was only three or four years before she went north, and the old man in the palace could not admit mistakes;
2. The execution of Princess Roufu was mainly ordered by Empress Wei, and as for why Empress Wei decided to execute Princess Roufu, it was because Princess Roufu knew that Empress Wei was married in the Jin Kingdom and had two sons. There are also rumors that Princess Roufu and Empress Wei were forced to serve a husband and daughter together... This pile is a big scandal, and In order to cover up the truth, Emperor Gaozong of Song killed the killer;
And the author agrees that the person who was beheaded at that time should be Li Jingshan, a female nun of Kaifeng Province, an imposter fake princess, and the real Princess Joofu has long died in the north, which is more reasonal than that:
1. Princess Ruofu, as the daughter of Emperor Huizong of Song, and the sister of the current Song Emperor Zhao Shuo, Princess Roufu must be the object of the Jin people's key custody, how can a weak woman escape from heaven? Not to mention crossing mountains and mountains, sneaking thousands of miles, and returning to the Southern Song Dynasty alone in that era of wars and chaos?
2. As a princess, the status is respected, even if there are old people in the palace, they can recognize the appearance and speech at most, how to know the real private things? Truly intimate people, such as Roufu's birth mother, have been taken away by Jin Bing, and at this time, there is a person who looks extremely similar, and can inquire about Princess Roufu's daily speech and behavior through people such as Zhang Xi'er, and it is entirely possible to fake the truth;
3, the biggest flaw is a pair of big feet, Princess Johora is foot-bound, how can you run barefoot and exercise into big feet?
4. As for the fear that Empress Wei's scandal was leaked, if it was really Roufu, it had been twelve years since she returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, and it had been said earlier; moreover, the difficulty of Jing Kang, the tragic encounter of the captured woman, was already known to the world, but as a Song person, he was carved in his heart and ashamed of his words;
5. The so-called empress dowager Wei's various ugly attitudes are folk myths, and when the real Empress Wei was captured in the north, she was already forty-eight years old! Even in modern times, it is already a square dance aunt, not to mention in that era of lack of beauty and beauty...
Most importantly, according to the records of the Jin people who would never help Empress Wei and Zhao Zhaoyuan at that time, the real Princess Roufu experienced the following after being captured:
1. During the Jing kang disaster, Princess Roufu was captured and went north. Since she was not married, just seventeen, and was the daughter of Emperor Huizong of Song, her status was revered, and the Jin people intended to dedicate it to the then Jin Taizong Tonyan Wu Begmai, and later on the way north, she was forcibly occupied by a Jin army general, and the Jin army general was immediately executed;
2. In the same year, five years after the Jinguo Tianhui, Princess Ruofu arrived in the capital of the Jinguo, and Jin Taizong did not accept Princess Roufu, but distributed her to the Jinguo Laundry, and at the same time, Empress Wei was also assigned to this place, and the two lived in a dormitory;
3. Eight years later, thirteen years after the Jin Dynasty, Empress Wei and Princess Roufu were released from the laundry. Empress Wei was sent to the Five Kingdoms City to reunite with Emperor Huizong of Song, and Princess Ruofu was assigned to the Gaitian King of the Jin Dynasty, Guanyan Zongxian, but Wanyan Zongxian did not look up to Princess Roufu and did not humiliate her, but then married Princess Ruofu to Xu Huan, a Han Chinese in the north;
4. After another six years, in the first year of the reign of the Jin Dynasty, Princess Roufu died of illness at Xu Huan's home, when she was Chinese New Year's Eve one year old. It was also in this year that Song Jin reached the Shaoxing Peace Agreement. Another year later, Empress Wei returned to the Southern Song Dynasty under the escort of Yan Zongxian, the Great King of the Jin Dynasty, and was also the only one of the Song people captured during the Jing kang disaster recorded in the zhengshi history.
