Song Dynasty As a dynasty that has lasted for more than 300 years in the history of our country, it has left us with many rich cultures. Compared with other dynasties in history, the people's lives in the Song Dynasty were relatively stable.
Some people even commented that The Song Dynasty was the highest stage of the development of my country's feudal society , which can be regarded as unprecedented.
The height reached by the Song Dynasty in material and spiritual civilization is not comparable to that of other dynasties, but the Song Dynasty is indeed weaker in military terms than other dynasties.
In the Song Dynasty, something very shameful happened in the entire history, that is, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were imprisoned by the enemy for many years, Song Huizong was imprisoned by Jin Dynasty for 9 years, why did he still have 14 children? It is hard to say .
Why was imprisoned
Compared with many emperors in history, Song Huizong was very unqualified. When he was in power, he did not manage the government affairs well and was addicted to alcohol and sex all day long, which led to the management of the court at that time being very chaotic.
In fact, there are many reasons why Song Huizong was imprisoned later. There is a very obvious reason in the overall environment, , that is, the Song Dynasty's military capabilities were too weak.
We all know that no matter which dynasty it is, the strength of military capabilities represents the strength of this dynasty, so many emperors attach great importance to military affairs, and many people will take the supreme command of the military in their own hands.
But this was not the case in the Song Dynasty. The entire development trend of the Song Dynasty was to pay attention to civil officials and ignore military officials , which means that the court rarely focused on cultivating military affairs, which led to the Song Dynasty's resistance when the Jin soldiers came in.
And as the monarch, Song Huizong was too playful. He inherited his brother's position and became the emperor of the Song Dynasty. He originally had no chance to be the emperor, but under the planning of the empress dowager at that time, the throne finally fell on him.
After becoming emperor, he did not change his habit of greed for women , but instead had no taboos. Song Huizong did not devote his attention to managing the court, which led to a very chaotic situation in the court.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, the entire court was in chaos and had many corrupt officials. Most of the aspiring people and honest officials were excluded from the right to speak.
Song Huizong initially had the idea of developing the Song Dynasty better. Unfortunately, he himself did not have much political skills, and he could not find any talent available around him, so Song Huizong finally led to himself being imprisoned.
turmoil occurred
When Song Huizong was reigned, he not only ignored the government affairs, but also attached too much importance to his enjoyment.
For Song Huizong, the government was a difficult thing, and he was not interested in it. Even after becoming emperor, he rarely strictly managed the government. Instead, he spent his thoughts on various enjoyment. Later, he became obsessed with searching for immortality and asked, and he had the ridiculous idea of pursuing eternal life.
So he began to build buildings related to Taoist in the palace. even believed the words of Taoist priest and began to spend a lot of effort outside the palace to build Wansuishan . The decorations inside
are very particular, and they also searched for strange stones among the people. This behavior caused great public grievances. In addition, the treacherous ministers in the court were in power, and people began to launch an uprising among the people. Although the uprising was suppressed by the court in the end, the damage caused had a great impact.
A few years later, the Song Dynasty experienced great turmoil in history The shame of Jingkang . At that time, the Song Dynasty's army was difficult to fight against the Jin soldiers, and it failed from the beginning and lost many cities.
Song Huizong not only did not find a way to solve this situation, but instead passed the throne to his son Song Qinzong. As a result, Song Qinzong did not have very outstanding political and military abilities, although he quickly fell into trouble again after repelling the Jin soldiers at the beginning.
The second time the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty was very fierce. At that time, the Song Dynasty's troops could not resist and soon fell into many places. In the end, Song Qinzong was forced to negotiate peace and gave Jin soldiers a lot of gold and silver.
Later, the Jin soldiers ordered the destruction of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong and made others emperors, and also brought Huiqin and the two emperors and many descendants of the royal family, concubines, and palace servants to return north. This is the shame of Jingkang that our descendants know.
After being imprisoned, he added 14 children
In this way, the two emperors Huiqin were imprisoned by the Jin Dynasty for many years, Among them, Song Huizong was imprisoned by the Jin Dynasty for 9 years, and during this period he also gave birth to 14 children , which is very indescribable.
After being captured by the Jin Dynasty, Song Huizong did not have the courage to choose to die and also accepted the Jin Dynasty's sheep-heading gift. The sheep-holding ceremony is difficult for many people to accept. Many people chose to commit suicide because of the sheep-holding ceremony, but Song Huizong chose to survive.
Then what is the sheep-heading gift? means that the captured person must take off his clothes, wear sheepskin, and tie a rope around his neck.
At that time, many captured people in the Song Dynasty faced the insult of the sheep-heading ceremony, and some people could not accept this humiliation and chose to end their lives.
However, Song Huizong accepted this humiliation, and after that, he often faced torture from the spiritual level, and was often tortured by the nobles of the Jin Dynasty.
During the years of imprisonment, Song Huizong had 14 children under his name. So are these children his? Many people can imagine that the result is not the case. Only can be said to be the born to the concubines of Song Huizong, but their father is not necessarily Song Huizong.
However, in that situation at that time, although Song Huizong knew that these 14 children were not necessarily their own, there was no way to accept them.
After all, Song Huizong had no rights at that time, and he himself was imprisoned by the Jin Kingdom. Song Huizong understood that his concubine was bullied, and that the child was not his own, and he could only bear it silently because he did not have the ability to resist.
The former emperor faced a situation at that time that he could not change his destiny, nor could he save those relatives who were captured with him.
For the two emperors Hui and Qin, their biggest idea during their imprisonment was that the court could come to pick them up. However, after a few years, they gradually became numb and lost this idea after a long period of humiliation.
Song Huizong passed away due to illness after being imprisoned for 9 years, and his son Qinzong passed away in numbness after being imprisoned for 29 years.
The 14 children added by Song Huizong during his capture were unwilling to admit in the later Song Dynasty royal family.
Because some of these 14 children are not the personal flesh and blood of Song Huizong, and some are born to the concubines and Jin people . Some children had the blood of Jin people flowing, which seemed very humiliating to the royal family of the Song Dynasty at that time.
