Portrait of Song Xiaozong
After Zhao Zhao crossed the south, due to the delay in giving birth, he had to choose an heir in the clan room.
As a result, Zhao Boqun, the son of Zhao Ziwei of Xiushui County, who was a contemporary of Zhao Shuo, was renamed Zhao Xuan by Zhao Shuo and entered the palace as an adopted son.
Unlike his adoptive father Zhao Zhao, Zhao Yun hated the Jin people for invading the Song Dynasty, and when the Jin Emperor completed Yan Liang's invasion of the south, he repeatedly wrote to request that the army lead the army to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army.
However, after being reminded by his teacher Shi Hao, in order to avoid Emperor Gaozong's suspicions, he wrote again and asked for protection from Zhao Zhao's personal conquest to show filial piety and loyalty.
When Zhao Zhao saw that Zhao Xuan was like this, he relieved zhao Yun of the Jiangshan Zen position.
When performing the ritual of inner Zen, Zhao Xi repeatedly avoided it, and finally he could not defeat the courtiers, and said sadly: "The order of the king's father is out of arbitrariness." However, such a heavy burden is probably difficult to bear. ”
After the ceremony, it suddenly rained heavily, and Zhao Xuan immediately personally sent Zhao Zhao back to the palace, until the palace gate refused to stop.
After Zhao Zhuo repeatedly pushed back, Zhao Xuan asked the attendants to help them back to the palace.
Such a move made Zhao Zhuo extremely moved, and he kept saying to the people around him: "Entrust people, and there are no regrets." ”
Although Zhao Xuan had already ascended to the throne, he was still very filial to his adoptive father Zhao Shuo, visiting Zhao Shuo several times a month, and he must invite Zhao Shuo to go with him whenever he traveled.
However, where would Zhao Yun know that his filial piety had also become a cage trapping himself.
After Zhao Yun succeeded to the throne, he immediately summoned Zhang Jun, a veteran general of the main battle faction, to the dynasty to discuss the grand plan of restoring Heshan, and accepted Shi Hao's suggestion, and issued an edict to rehabilitate Yue Fei as a famous general.
Yue Fei
He reused the main battle faction, prepared the whole army, and was always ready for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
For a time, the military and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty were indignant and demanded that the Central Plains be recovered and the rivers and mountains be returned.
Song Xiaozong himself was also determined to win, but such an approach caused Zhao Shuo's dissatisfaction.
When he heard the news that Zhao Xuan was preparing for the Northern Expedition, he was extremely angry.
Once Zhao Xuan went to visit and talked about the Northern Expedition, Zhao Xuan excitedly thought that Zhao Xuan would support him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhuo was furious, and angrily rebuked Zhao Xuan for not filial piety, and if he wanted to go north, he would have to wait for his death.
Zhao Huo's attitude disappointed Zhao Xuan, but despite this, Zhao Xuan still launched the Longxing Northern Expedition.
Many of the generals of the Song army in the south had long been desperate to recover their homeland, and at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the Song army restored Lingbi, Hongxian and Suzhou within one month to deter the Central Plains.
Later, under the counterattack of the superior strength of the Jin army, the generals on the front line of the Song army were discordant within themselves, and when they withdrew, they were chased and intercepted by the Jin soldiers, and suffered heavy losses.
The lords and factions took the opportunity to find Zhao Shuo and persuade him to let Emperor Xiaozong negotiate peace, and Zhao Shuo constantly angrily rebuked Emperor Xiaozong, demanding that he immediately stop the Northern Expedition and negotiate peace with the Jin army.
With the help of Zhao Shuo, the lord and Tang Si retreated to greatly contain Zhang Jun's power, and Emperor Xiaozong became hesitant, and with Zhao Shuo's non-reading blows, Emperor Xiaozong had to agree to peace.
Zhao Zhao
In fact, Zhao Xuan was not only subject to Zhao Shuo in terms of military and state affairs, but even his daily administration was extremely constrained by Zhao Shuo.
For example, during the Chunxi period, Zhao Zhuo went to the Lengquan Pavilion of the Lingyin Temple to drink tea, and there was a practitioner who took good care of him, and after interrogation, the practitioner cried that he had offended his superiors and was framed for absolution.
So Zhao Zhuo asked Zhao Xuan to resume his official position, and a few days later he went to the Lengquan Pavilion again, and when he saw that the walkers were still angry after seeing Emperor Xiaozong.
Zhao Yun carefully asked why he was angry, and Zhao Zhuo said, "I'm old, no one obeys, why haven't you done anything about the walkers so far?" ”
Emperor Xiaozong quickly replied that it had been ascertained that he was indeed corrupt and perverted the law, and that sparing him death was an exception, and Zhao Zhuo actually angrily rebuked Emperor Xiaozong and demanded that he must be reinstated.
Emperor Xiaozong had no way to let the chancellor reinstate him.
It must be known that this was already the Chunxi period, and Emperor Xiaozong ruled for more than ten years, but he was still held back by Zhao Zhao.
Zhao Yun was emperor for twenty-seven years, and for the first twenty-five years Emperor Gaozong was alive and healthy, exerting continuous influence on him.
Throughout Zhao Xiao's life, if he was not too stubborn to "filial piety", with his wisdom and wisdom, why did the Southern Song Dynasty continue to be bullied by the Jin Dynasty?
