《——【·Preface·】——》

The former merry son was reduced to a prisoner, Song Huizong was imprisoned in the Jin Kingdom for 9 years, and gave birth to 14 children!

And in order to make him survive, the three thousand concubines were forced to perform a "breastfeeding ceremony", and the scene was shocking.

The dignity of the emperor has become a laughing stock when it comes to the enemy country? This dusty palace secret is far more cruel than you imagined!

«——【The End of the Empire Under the Firmament】——»

It was the late autumn of 1126, and the Northern Song Dynasty was experiencing its darkest hour. The Jin army had already approached the city, like a dark cloud pressing down on the sky above the city of Tokyo (now Kaifeng).

Inside the city, Song Qinzong was so anxious that he made a decision that was later proven to be extremely wrong by history: he ordered the collection of gold, silver and jewels from all over the country, and prepared to present them to the Jin Kingdom in exchange for peace.

Qinzong's order spread all over the country, the golden Buddha in the temple was melted, the treasures of the people were looted, and even the treasures in the palace were not spared. In just a few months, piles of treasures were transported to the capital, piled up.

When the envoys of the Jin State saw these treasures, instead of being satisfied, they intensified their efforts and put forward even harsher conditions: they demanded that the Song Dynasty cede the sixteen states of Yanyun and use the royal ladies as debts.

The Song court was shocked, and Qinzong hesitated. By this time it was the beginning of 1127, and the Jin State had lost patience.

On a cold winter morning, the Jin soldiers raided the city of Tokyo, and the defenders were crushed. The once bustling city of Tokyo was instantly plunged into a sea of fire and blood.

«——【The Road of Shame of the Two Sons of Heaven】——»

Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, the father and son emperors, were captured when the Jin soldiers stormed the palace.

From then on, they began a long and humiliating journey of captivity, and for a full year and two months, they were escorted to the Huining Mansion in Shangjing, the Kingdom of Jin.

Along the way, the two emperors were forced to wear prison uniforms and drag heavy chains on their feet for dozens of miles a day. The Son of Heaven, who once enjoyed the highest glory in the world, is now a prisoner.

They had to endure the hardships of eating and sleeping in the open, hunger and thirst, and even more so being insulted and beaten by the Jin soldiers.

Upon arrival in the Jin Kingdom, Huizong was given the title of "Duke of Dude" and Emperor Qinzong was given the title of "Marquis of Chongdu", both titles themselves full of ridicule of their incompetent rule.

What is even more unacceptable is that they must participate in the unique "sheep holding ceremony" of the Golden State.

During this ritual, the two former emperors were forced to wear only a sheepskin, with a rope around their necks, and were led around the temple three times like cattle.

The former Son of Heaven has now become an animal. This is perhaps the most shameful scene in Chinese history.

«——【The tragic fate of the harem lady】——»

Zhu Shi, the empress of Song Qinzong, was captured along with other harem ladies when the Song dynasty fell. In order to completely humiliate the royal family of the Song Dynasty, the Jin State specially designed a humiliation ritual for women - "Breast Offering Ceremony".

During this ceremony, the queen, princess, and other female dependents were forced to expose their bodies and accept insults from the nobles of the Jin Kingdom. Empress Zhu, as the most noble woman of the Song Dynasty, was forced to bear the brunt of this ceremony.

In the face of such a huge humiliation, Empress Zhu, who had a strong personality, couldn't bear it, and she chose the most decisive path - to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river.

Empress Zhu's death shook the Jin Kingdom. Surprisingly, Jin Taizong expressed his admiration for her strong spirit, posthumously named her "Lady Jingkang Taichastity", and gave her "Huai Qing and clean, and get chaste."

Everyone is drunk and awake, unyielding" sixteen words praise. A woman's fierceness and loyalty have won the respect of her enemies. At the same time, Princess Fujin, the daughter of Song Huizong, was given to the Jin people as a gift.

This once noble princess was tortured to death under the abuse of the Jin people. Her death did not gain the same respect as Empress Zhu, but just disappeared into the long river of history without a trace.

«——【The Double Life of the Prisoner·】——»

Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, as an artist emperor, maintained his pursuit of art even in the tragic situation of being captured.

After nine years of captivity, he still did not forget to recite poetry and paint, which seemed to be his way of finding solace in his difficult situation.

What is even more incredible is that the former emperor actually gave birth to 14 children during his captivity, 5 of which were born to his concubines and Jin people.

This fact reveals the complex and contradictory psychological state of the imprisoned Song Huizong: on the one hand, he lost his country and suffered humiliation; On the other hand, he seems to have adapted to life as a prisoner, and even drank and had fun with the harem concubines.

Even in the midst of his exile and capture, he indulged in personal pleasures, even giving his daughter to the Jin people in exchange for a short period of peace.

«——【The Death of the Destruction of the Country】——»

The Jingkang Revolution was not just as simple as the capture of two emperors, it represented the complete destruction of a great dynasty.

After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of precious cultural relics and artworks were destroyed or plundered. After the capture of the city of Tokyo, the Jin army looted almost all the treasures in the imperial palace, and the palaces that could not be carried were burned.

The Song Dynasty accumulated hundreds of years of cultural wealth, including books, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, gold and silver utensils, etc., which were either burned or shipped to the Jin Kingdom.

The Jingkang Revolution was listed as one of the "Eight Great Shames" in Chinese history by later generations, and it was not only a military defeat, but also a profound injury to the dignity of the nation.

This catastrophe has left a profound historical lesson for the Chinese nation: A strong country requires not only military and political stability, but also cultural and spiritual independence and self-esteem.

Military defeats can be remedied in decades, but the damage to national dignity will take generations to heal.

After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Regain lost territory, restore the Central Plains" became the slogan that inspired generations of Chinese, and this force eventually led to the reunification of the Chinese nation during the Yuan Dynasty and reached new heights in the Ming Dynasty.

《——【·Conclusion·】——》

The Jingkang Change, an unforgettable national tragedy, the fall of the two emperors is only the beginning of this tragedy.

A once prosperous dynasty collapsed in just a few years, leaving behind not only a battlefield filled with gunsmoke, but also an indelible psychological wound for generations.

The wheels of history are rolling forward, the tragedy has become a thing of the past, but those who survived tenaciously in the midst of suffering, those souls who would rather die than give in, are always worthy of our memory and admiration.
