Yuwen Xuanzhong this person is very legendary, he alone in the "History of Song" and "History of Jin" biography, he once sent 7 missions to the Jin Kingdom, in the Jin Kingdom to maintain integrity for many years, but suddenly accepted the official position of the Jin State, serving the Jin Kingdom. In the sixteenth year of Shaoxing (1146), the whole family was destroyed by the Jin people, and the records of the Jin people believe that Yuwen was framed and died unjustly, and the "History of Jin" said that he was "still wronged". In the records of the Song Dynasty, Yuwen Did not forget his homeland and prepared to join forces with righteous soldiers to rob and kill Jin Xizong, but unfortunately the matter was leaked and the whole family was killed.
According to the records of the Jin dynasty, Yuwen Washizhong was framed and killed by the Jurchen nobles. According to the records of the Song Dynasty, Yuwen Xuan had the feat of preparing to rob and kill Jin Xizong, and he was a loyal subject of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty people also dismissed the Jin People, all of whom believed that Yuwen Xuanzhong was a loyal subject of his own country and died unjustly. This makes Yuwen's death seem confusing, which statement is more in line with historical reality?
The literary scholar Yuan Haoqing at the end of the Jin Dynasty recorded Yuwen's death in the "Zhongzhou Collection"
Shu Tong, a native of Chengdu, was a Song Huangmen waiter, who was appointed as an envoy to see Liu, and was a Hanlin scholar. At the beginning of the imperial reign, the shangjing prisoners plotted to make Shu Tong a marshal, seized the army and ran south, and the matter was zhao prison. Zhu Guixian was ridiculed by Shu Tong, and he was not even, and he would want to kill him. The books in the exercise collection are reversed. Shu Tong sighed that death is from my own points, as for the picture books, there are cases in the family of the Nanlai Shi Dafu, and it is like a high-ranking scholar talking about books, especially in my family, is it also anti-evil? There is a si to accept the wind's will, and the priest talks about capital punishment. Man is still alive.
The record of Yuan Haowen is that the Southern Song captives plotted to take Yuwen Xuanzhong as the leader and seize the weapons and flee back to the Southern Song Dynasty. Yuwen Didn't know it at all, he was in prison implicated by these people. Yuwen Xuanzhong had laughed at the Jurchen nobles before, and these nobles hated him. The presiding judge could not find evidence of Yuwen's conspiracy in a fictitious way, so he fabricated evidence from his collection of books.
The History of Jin Guozheng (金国正史) is much the same as the account of Yuan Haowen
Arrogant and arrogant in the void, good at ridicule, who sees female straight people with the eyes of the mine, noble officials often can not be flat. In the void, he tried to write the palace list, which was the name of Jiamei, and the evil one who used his word to slander the imperial court was made a crime by the mediator. In February of the sixth year, Tang Kuo rewarded the family nu Du Tianfo to leave a complaint against the false middle of the rebellion, and the edict had Si Fengzhi to rule without a form, and the book of the Void Middle Family was woven by Nai Luo as a reversal,...... There is a division that accepts the will of the wind and kills the soldiers, and has been wronged so far.
The "History of Jin" records in more detail, Yuwen Xuanzhong usually despised the Jurchens, so he offended them. The presiding judge found no solid evidence, but from the plaques he had written and the books he had collected, he arbitrarily fabricated evidence that he had plotted rebellion. In the records of the Jin dynasty, Yuwen Xuanzhong was dissatisfied because he usually looked down on jurchens, and took the opportunity to falsely accuse Yuwen Xuanzhong of rebellion. The people of Jin guo all believed that Yuwen had been wronged in his death, and that Yuwen had been framed and did not participate in the rebellion.
The song dynasty records the death of Yuwen Xuanzhong in the historical materials of the "Compilation of the Three Dynasties Northern League", "Records of the Year Since Jianyan", "Zhuzi Language", "North Window Burning Record"
The Southern Song Dynasty scholar Shi Decao recorded in the "Record of the Burning of the North Window":
After the false Shi Jin became a national teacher, he got his handle, so that the north and south talked and the great mother were returned, often their strength was also, and it was recently rumored that in August next year, if he wanted to do fan li Cao's affair, he wanted to fight for the holy return, and the first five days were reported by people, and there was a warning in the void, and he sent troops until the north lord came down, and the north lord could hardly get rid of it, so he was captured.
The year of Shi Decao's birth and death is unknown, but according to what he says in the book, he was still alive when Yuwen Xuanzhong was killed in 1146, which is the earliest record of Yuwen Xuanzhong's death in the Song Dynasty. The death of Yuwen in the Void that he recorded is derived from legend. Legend has it that Yuwen Xuanzhong helped Song Jin reach a peace agreement, Yuwen Xuzhong had planned to take Song Qinzong back to the Southern Song Dynasty, he learned that the plan was leaked, sent troops to kill Jin Xizong, failed and was captured.
Zhu Xi also talked about yuwen's death in the void, according to the Zhu Zi Yu Class:
Or it is said that although Hezhong is in the midst of the captives, he is reporting for the court to taste the movements of the captives, and he wants to be a hero, because his son is handsome. Moreover, wushu is the time to go to Mongolia, and the country is empty, and the void is rebellious, and the day is desired. When Vulture heard this, he hurried home, killed him, and exterminated his people. Or think that Qin Juniper knows the news in the middle of the false, and the secret is reported to the prisoners, and the clouds want to rebel, so the prisoners must be reprimanded before they are punished.
Zhu Xi's account also comes from a legend, legend has it that Yuwen Huanzhong befriended Hao Jie and was ready to take action, and Qin Ju reported Yuwen Huanzhong's actions to the Jin people, so Yuwen Xuanzhong's entire family was killed. This is one of the historical sources of Qin Juniper's betrayal of Yuwen Xuan.
The Compilation of the Northern League of the Three Dynasties records that Yuwen Huanzhong had plotted to rob and kill Jin Xizong, and informed the Southern Song Dynasty of the news with a wax pill letter, and the letter fell into the hands of Qin Juniper, who was jealous of Yuwen's great merits and handed the letter to the Jin people. The news leaked Yuwen's entire family was killed.
The record of the "Chronicles of the Lineage Since the Proposal" comes from Yuwen Xuanzhong's behavior, and it is also said that Yuwen Xuanzhong planned to rob and kill Jin Xizong, and Qin Ju received yuwen's letter from The Wax Pill in Yuwen's void and ignored it. Li Xinchuan did not accept Qin Ju's claim that he returned Yuwen's letter of wax pills to the Jin people. In the book, he quoted the so-called Jin ren Li Dayu's "Record of Zheng Meng" and Wang Daguan's "Itinerary":
Duyuan Wuzhu returned to the division and suddenly took the edict to report: Yuwen Guo connected more than seventy Chinese and foreign officials, wanted to take advantage of the side affairs, and the red tape of moving the capital, fortunately, wanhu Si Kou Wo he first sued, captured Yuwen and so on, and asked the marshal to temporarily return to the discussion.
The "Record of The Journey" is also said that Yuwen was preparing to rebel in a vain way, and someone denounced the murder. There is a problem in the records of the "Records of The Journey" of zhengmeng, Yuwen Xuanzhong did not serve as the prime minister in the Jin Kingdom, but the book called Yuwen Xuanzhong "Minister of State", and the Jin people would not make such a low-level mistake. It is also known as "more than seventy Chinese and foreign officials", and in the "History of Jin", there is no mention of the names of these officials.
According to Zhao Yu's "Re-discussion on the Authenticity of the Records of Zhengmeng and the Records of the Itinerary", "the second book should be pieced together by the Song people who mixed with the gold collectors and compiled into a book, and then entrusted the name of the jinren to show its authenticity." Therefore, the two books were not written by Jin Guoren. It also cannot prove Yuwen's claim of rebellion in the void.
The "North Window Burning Record" and "Zhu Zi Yu Class" Yuwen's false plan to rob and kill Jin Xizong clearly stated that it came from rumors, and its authenticity was a problem.
Yuwen's fiction about the cause of his death was added to Qin Jun's betrayal. The date of writing was after qin juniper's death, and Li Xinchuan did not find relevant records as circumstantial evidence, so this statement was not accepted in the "Records of the Chronicles of the Lineage Since Jianyan".
In the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty had already reached a peace agreement, and the overall situation had been decided. Didn't Yuwen's plan to rob and kill Jin Xizong destroy the "peace" of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty? Yuwen Xuan should have known that what Qin Ju and Song Gaozong wanted was peace, how could they plan such a risky plan? He foolishly told Qin Ju the plan, and these statements were unreasonable. Therefore, the statement that Jin Shi Yuwen was falsely framed and killed is more reasonable and credible.
Yuwen Xuanzhong's mission to the Jin Kingdom was to welcome back Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song, which was an impossible task and would not be agreed to by the People of Jin. Emperor Gaozong of Song sent Yuwen To show the Song Dynasty people nothing more than a show. Originally, the Jin people planned to send Yuwen Xuzhong back to the Southern Song Dynasty, but he thought that the task was not completed and voluntarily stayed in the Jin Kingdom.
From the second year of Jianyan (1128) to the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), Yuwen Xuanzhong maintained his integrity for 6 years, during which time Yuwen Xuanzhong also passed on the confidential information of the Jin State to the Southern Song Dynasty. In the second year of Shaoxing (1132), Yuwen Xuanzhong sent an envoy to Xiang Wei to tell Zhang Jun that the Jin State was about to attack Sichuan in a big way, which helped the Southern Song Dynasty. What is puzzling is that in the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), Yuwen Xuanzhong suddenly accepted the official position of jinguo and became an official of jinguo.
It is said that the Southern Song Dynasty should have decided that Yuwen had defected and surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, but Emperor Gaozong of Song praised him for his loyalty to the country in his edict, and in the seventh year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong of Song also gave Yuwen fifty taels of gold, fifty horses of silk, and ten catties of dragon and phoenix tea. Yuwen Shiyi's son Yuwen Shiyi was not affected at all and continued to be an official. This shows that the Southern Song Dynasty officially believes that Yuwen is still a person of the Southern Song Dynasty.
When the Song Dynasty reached a peace agreement, the Jin people asked the Southern Song Dynasty to send Yuwen Xuzhong's family to the Jin Kingdom. Previously, Yuwen Falsely entrusted the Southern Song Dynasty envoy Wang Lun with the words that if jin guo wanted his family, it would be said that the family members were dead. Yuwen Xuan's son also wrote to Emperor Gaozong of Song, requesting to stay in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yuwen Shiyi said in the song
The subject father was loyal and righteous in the void, and if he did his best to dispatch his room now, I am afraid that it is not the court so that he is sympathetic, and the emperor of the emperor is sent away, with the urgency of martyrdom, that is, unlike other people who are held captive, Shaoxing Seven Years Wang Lun returned from the Jin Kingdom, and when the minister father vainly entrusted a matter, he was willing to say that there was no enemy.
Yuwen was reluctant to let his family come to Jinguo. If he renegades, he will definitely be happy to be reunited with the family, but Yuwen Xu is the opposite, which shows that Yu Wen's center is towards the Southern Song Dynasty. His son also believed that his father was a loyal man, not a traitor, and did not want to go to the Golden Kingdom. However, Qin Juniper must return yuwen's family.
Southern Song Dynasty officials have never qualitatively said that Yuwen Xuanzhong was a traitor, the news of the murder of Yuwen Xuanzhong's entire family has attracted the sympathy of the Southern Song People, after Qin Jun's death, people recall history, thinking that Yuwen Huanzhong's family was sent back by Qin Huan, suspecting that Qin Huan betrayed Yuwen Xuanzhong, so the "Zhengmeng Ji" and the "Itinerary" made up the cause of Death in Yuwen Huanzhong, and the Southern Song People also accepted this statement.
Cui Hao advised the Northern Wei emperor and helped the Northern Wei unify the north. Cui Hao had wanted Northern Wei to learn the Han system, but he angered the interests of the Humble nobles of Northern Wei. They used the so-called "national history" case to frame Cui Hao for slandering the xianbei ancestors, and Cui Hao's entire family was exterminated. Mr. Chen Yinke believes that Cui Hao's aristocratic political ideals contradicted those of the Xianbei rulers and was therefore killed.
Yuwen's situation in the void is very similar to Cui Hao's. Jin Xizong was deeply influenced by Han culture from an early age, and after he ascended the throne in the thirteenth year of Tianhui (1135), he followed the Han system and implemented a series of reforms. Yuwen Xuanzhong helped Jin Xizong to carry out reforms, and the official system, fenglu, official titles, and avoidance of secrets in the Jin State were all formulated by yu Wenzhong with reference to the system of the Song Dynasty and Tang Dynasty.
The Jurchen aristocracy was divided into conservatives and reformers, of which Emperor Yanzong was a reformist, and he once suggested that Jin Taizong change the Jurchen system to the Han bureaucracy. Han Qixian was originally a native of the Liao state, and after the Jin state destroyed the Liao state, he became an official in the Jin state, and in the twelfth year of the Tianhui (1134), he served as the prime minister. Han Qixian belonged to the Yan Zonggan reform faction, and they wanted to reform the Jinguo system according to the Han system. Yuwen Xuanzhong was an official of the Jin Dynasty (1134) who was accepted. Han Qixian once said: Getting Yuwen Void Is even happier than when he attacked Kaifeng! Therefore, Yuwen Xuanzhong can also be regarded as the first faction of Korean enterprises.
Jin Xizong, with the help of Yuwen Xuanzhong, implemented the Han system of three provinces and six ministries, strengthening the emperor's authority. Jin Xizong personally went to the Confucius Temple to worship Confucius and worshipped Confucius with the honor of the emperor. He also said: "Confucius should be respected, and Confucianism should be admired in all things!" Jin Xizong read the Confucian classics "Shang Shu" and "Analects" every day. These initiatives to learn the Han Chinese system. Touched the interests of the conservatives of the Jurchen nobility.
Emperor Yanzong once helped Jin Xizong get rid of Emperor Yanzongpan, and Emperor Yanzong had a younger brother, Emperor Yanzong, who hated them. Yan Zonggan died in 1141, and Yuwen Xuanzhong's patron Chancellor Han Qixian died in 1146. The person who succeeded the prime minister was none other than their counterpart, Yan Zonggu. After the conservatives came to power, Yuwen became a thorn in their eyes. Emperor Yanzong wanted to avenge his brother Emperor Yanzongpan, and coupled with their opposition to learning the Han system, Yuwen's death was inevitable.
Yuwen Xuanzhong's death was involved in a power struggle among the Jurchen nobles, and Jin Xizong's Sinicization reforms weakened the power of the conservatives, and they were bound to fight back and get rid of Yuwen Xuanzhong, who belonged to the reformers.
