The failure of " to enter Luo " made Song Lizong , an old man in his 50s, lose the vigor of being diligent in politics, neglecting political affairs, and began to indulge in sensuality, and the imperial court and harem began to appear Some treacherous people disrupted the government.
Yan Martin, the country is about to perish
Because Song Lizong favored the treacherous people, someone wrote eight big characters on the gate of the court: "Yan Martin, the country is about to perish." Credit traitors, the future of the country is in doubt.
Yan refers to Concubine Yan, the concubine whom Song Lizong loved very much in his later years. Concubine Yan was named a noble concubine in September of the ninth year of Chunyou (1240). Song Lizong also used the treasury to build a temple of merit for her, which was even more meritorious than his own ancestors The temple is even more magnificent, and people called it "Sai Lingyin Temple" at that time. And Concubine Yan also held Song Lizong's favor, and became arrogant and domineering, interfering in power and disorderly administration.
Ma refers to Ma Tianji. Ma Tianji was favored because he gave Song Lizong's daughter Princess Ruiguo an ingenious gift when she married, which made Song Lizong very happy, so he appointed him as the ruler, which was doubly favored .
Ding refers to Ding Daquan, Ding Daquan was born with a "blue ghost appearance", and he was treacherous and cunning, vicious and greedy", so people called him "Ding Langui". He is the inferior woman of his foreign relatives. At the same time, he also tried his best to cater to Concubine Yan and others. He also wanted to win high positions by ingratiating Dong Huai , but was rejected by Dong Huai, so he held a grudge against Dong Huai. Baoyou four years ( 1256), Song Lizong dismissed Dong Huai, Ding Daquan took the opportunity to impeach Dong Huai, and before Song Lizong issued an edict, he led more than a hundred soldiers to surround Dong Huai's house with knives in the middle of the night, and threatened Dong Huai to send him away. He was handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation, and then coerced Dong to go outside Lin'an City and abandoned him. Ding Daquan's move attracted the impeachment of Chen Zong and other six people, but Song Lizong ignored him and made him a prime minister. Since then, Ding Daquan became even more arrogant and domineering.
Dang refers to the eunuch Dong Songchen, who won Song Lizong's favor because he was good at flattering him. Once, Song Lizong went to the Forbidden Garden to enjoy the lotus, but there was no pavilion to cover the sun, Song Lizong was a little unhappy , Dong Songchen built a pavilion by the lotus pond that day, and Song Lizong was very happy. In winter, Song Lizong went to admire the plums again. Dong Songchen had already built a plum pavilion. Song Lizong blamed him for wasting people and money. When He Ting moved here, Song Lizong praised him greatly and trusted him even more. In order to satisfy Song Lizong's selfish desires, Dong Songchen also lured Tang An'an, a famous prostitute in Lin'an, into the palace for lewd pleasures. Under Lizong's favor, Dong Songchen , Colluded with Prime Minister Ding Daquan, relying on favor and power, arrogant, people called him "Dong Yanluo". Song people recorded the situation of the eunuch's monopoly at that time, saying: "A moment of sound and fire can really shake the mountains, and return to the sky and stay in Japan. "
Yan, Ma, Ding, and Dong took power, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of many honest people, and Song Lizong also felt the strong dissatisfaction of the government and the public with his indulgence of traitors, so he had to take some measures. For example, Ma Tianji was in power only eight Ding Daquan was dismissed because he concealed military information and did not report it, which caused the frontier defense to be tight. Soon, the general who was escorted fell into the water and drowned; Yan Guifei died of illness in the first year of Jingding (1260).
