As the saying goes: the Northern Song Dynasty produced a good appearance, and the Southern Song Dynasty produced a good general. In fact, the Southern Song Dynasty not only produced good generals, but also had endless treacherous appearances in people's cognition.
Jia Xiangdao, born in 1213 AD, from a small mixture of pingbu Qingyun, the three dynasties of Song Lizong, Duzong, and Emperor Gong, can not be described as legendary.
(1) Falling in the middle of the family road
His father, Jia Shi, was an envoy to Jinghu during the Ningzong period, and his ancestors were even more prominent, and his distant ancestor was Jia Yi, a famous person in the Western Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, when Jia Rudao was 11 years old, Jia Shi died of illness, and the family fell in the middle of the road.
After the young Jia Rudao lost his temper, there was no one to educate, so he wandered the streets all day long, debauchery, and spent all day with a group of small, drinking and gambling, stealing chickens and dogs, and such a day passed for several years.
Although his father died early, he still left an intangible asset. After Jia Rudao became an adult, due to his father's favor, he was replaced by Jiaxing Cangsi and became a minor official.
It is reasonable to say that such an opportunity should be cherished for ordinary people. However, Jia Xiangdao's life has been wanton and debauched for many years, how can he bear to be called by the superiors, and in the eyes of others, the position that can only be obtained by the green smoke of the ancestral grave is a shackle for him, so he is bitter all day.
Reality is sometimes more magical and coincidental than the TV series, just a short time later, a large pie fell from the sky to smash him dizzy, it turned out that his sister was selected into the palace and was named a noble concubine, and Jia Xiangdao was also summoned by Song Lizong to play the right.
(2) Cricket Prime Minister
After entering the army at the age of twenty-five, coupled with the pillow wind of his sister Jia Guifei, Jia Rudao's promotion path completely sat on the spaceship. Jia Rudao, who is only more than thirty years old, has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach in his career. In the ninth year of ChunYou, he was a scholar of Jiabao Wenge and an ambassador of Jinghu Pacification. Chun Yu ten years, with the DuanmingDian scholar moved the town of Lianghuai. After Song Lizong changed Yuan Baoyou, he was basically promoted in one year. Song Lizong often referred to Jia Xiangdao as "Shi Xiang", and the Hundred Officials even called him "Duke of Zhou".
The real talents are either famous in history or notorious, and Jia Xiangdao is recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty and seen by posterity as a notorious one, and at that time the people jokingly called him "Cricket Prime Minister".
In fact, the main reason for this title is that Jia Xiangdao loves fighting crickets, regards state affairs as a child's play, and often gets together with concubines to fight crickets; another point is that Jia Xiangdao even wrote a book "Promoting Weaving Classics" for crickets, which shows that interest is the best teacher, and fighting crickets can write books in the end, which shows that his people are only absurd to state affairs, not really talentless.
What is even more speechless is that Jia Xiangdao also carried crickets when he went to the court, and often appeared in the court with the sound of insects chirping. There was even one cricket that jumped out of its sleeve and jumped directly onto the emperor's dragon whiskers. The court was originally a place of solemnity and solemnity, discussing major state affairs, but in Jia Xiangdao's heart, it was estimated that it was not as important as his own crickets.
(3) Neglecting state affairs
In the sixth year of Emperor Lizong's reign, the Mongol army marched south, and Möngke led his army directly to Sichuan-Chongqing, ordering his brother Kublai Khan to lead an army to attack Jingxiang and take Ezhou (Wuchang) directly, preparing to advance in two directions and destroy the Great Song in one fell swoop.
In September of the first year of Emperor Lizong's reign, Kublai Khan besieged Ezhou, and Emperor Lizong was so frightened that he quickly ordered Jia Rudao to lead an army to support him, and if Ezhou was destroyed, the Mongol army would directly attack Lin'an City.
Perhaps it was heaven that the Great Song Dynasty was not yet destroyed at this time, and when Kublai Khan besieged Ezhou, the Mongol Great Khan Möngke was killed in Diaoyu City. Although the news had reached Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan still wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty with a single blow, but unfortunately, the heavens did not go according to people's wishes, and many attacks on Ezhou City were fruitless.
It should be said that Jia Rudao also played an extraordinary role in the rescue of Ezhou, repeatedly repelling the Mongol army that swore to attack to the death, so that Kublai Khan's army could not advance. When Jia Xiangdao saw this situation, he secretly sent people to ask Kublai Khan for peace, while at the same time he stubbornly defended Ezhou. At first, Kublai Khan did not accept Jia Rudao's request for peace, and wanted to destroy the Song court in one fell swoop, but later due to the death of Möngke, and Kublai Khan was anxious to compete for the Khan's position, he accepted Jia Rudao's request for peace.
When the Mongolian army withdrew and returned to the north, Jia Rudao led his army to kill more than 170 soldiers behind the Mongolian army hall.
After Kublai Khan returned to the north, Jia Xiangdao's master returned to the dynasty, and decided not to mention the secret discussion of peace, nor to play the change of power within Mongolia, looking like a military god in the world. When Emperor Lizong saw that Jia Xiangdao had even defeated the ferocious Mongol army and fled, he regarded him as his vassal, and from then on, Jia Xiangdao could be said to have reached the peak of his power and eventually became a generation of power ministers.
(4) The end of the adulterous phase
In 1275, in the Battle of Lugang (Wuhunan, Anhui), Jia Rudao led an army of 130,000 to meet the enemy, the Song general Xia Gui fled without a fight, and Jia Rudao, who was born into a soldier, would lead the army to fight, and could only abandon the army and flee, and the 130,000 troops were killed and wounded countless times, and lin'an City was completely exposed to the peak of the Yuan army.
Jia Rudao, who abandoned the army and fled, completely offended the public anger, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee demanded that Jia Rudao be killed to thank the world. In the end, it was only under the protection of Empress Xie that she was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Gaozhou regiment, but no matter how few people added icing on the cake in any era, there were many people who fell into the well. The courtiers naturally refused to let go of this hairy phoenix, and in order to appease the anger of the people, the imperial court eventually exiled him to Xunzhou (Longchuan, Guangdong).
Although there was no danger of life in the song dynasty when he became an official, he had been running amok in the court for nearly forty years, arrogant and lascivious, and the people who had been destroyed by him did not know any plans, how could they get out so easily.
Fu Wang Zhao and Rui believed that the Great Song Dynasty was lonely to this point, and they all seemed to be in the wrong way, so they put down the words: "Recruit those who can kill the Like Dao, and send them to the degraded place."
Just at this time, there was Zheng Huchen, a lieutenant of Huiji County, whose father was belittled and killed by Jia Xiangdao, and Zheng Huchen remembered the hatred in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask to escort Jia Rudao to Xunzhou. Along the way, Zheng Huchen tortured and insulted Jia Rudao in various ways, forcing him to commit suicide, but Jia Rudao was originally a greedy person who was afraid of death, where he would commit suicide. When he finally arrived at the Kapok Nunnery in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, Zheng Huchen could not bear it any longer and hacked Jia Rudao to death in the toilet, and a generation of powerful ministers and adulterers came to an end.
(4) Views of future generations
The infamous Jia Xiangdao gave posterity the impression that he was a traitor, and the "History of Song" completely denied everything about Jia Xiangdao, and many literary works in later generations even portrayed him as an unforgivable person.
Among them, There is a small story in Qu You's legendary novel "Cutting the Lamp": it is said that Jia Rudao leaned on the building one day and looked idly, and all the concubines were serving on the side. Just at this moment, two teenagers were riding on the lake, and one of them, Miki, said, "Miya, two teenagers."
After hearing this, Jia Ru said, "If you are willing to serve them, then they can marry you away as long as they pay the bride price." ”
Miki smiled and didn't speak. After a while, Jia Rudao called all the concubines to him, asked them to hold a box, and said, "This is the bride price of the dowry, you can open it and see." The concubines thought it was something good, but when they opened it, they saw that it was the bloody head of the concubine who had just praised the two teenagers. The concubines trembled with fear and did not dare to speak again.
Of course, we don't know whether this matter is true or not, but Jia Xiangdao is extravagant and wandering, which is a fact. Of course, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, jia rudao, who is useless in the eyes of others, and in the eyes of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, his military talent is not bad, and it is Wen Tianxiang's Bole, and Wen Tianxiang's evaluation of Jia Rudao is still quite high.
