After Song Duzong's death, Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing stepped onto the political stage. The old lady was very confused and continued to favor treacherous ministers and improperly, causing the front line to retreat. The Yuan army was approaching the city, and the courtiers panicked. At this time, everyone was thinking of someone very seriously, but they didn't like it, but hated it...
This person is Jia Sidao, who is known as the Prime Minister of Cricket. Everyone strongly demanded that he be executed, but Mrs. Xie only demoted him to the third rank and sent back to her hometown of Shaoxing on the grounds that he was a veteran of the Three Dynasties.
But then, an unexpected scene happened...

老His wife Xie Daoqing was good to Jia Sidao and ordered Li Tingzhi, a famous anti-Yuan general who was then Yangzhou guard, to send someone to escort him back to Shaoxing.
At first, Jia Sidao wanted to stay in Yangzhou and not leave, but the people in the DPRK hated him so much and kept coming to urge him, so he had to set off.
However, when he came to Shaoxing, the local officials and people in Shaoxing felt that he was very unhappy and prevented him from entering...
In desperation, the court had to send him to Wu State, which is now Jinhua, Zhejiang.
The tragedy is that when Wuzhou officials and people heard that he was coming, overnight, the whole city was full of posts scolding him, and he was not allowed to enter...
Jia Sidao had to turn to Jianning, which is now Jian'ou, Fujian.
At this time, there were still people in the courtroom who were tirelessly trying to put Jia to death, so he listed his top ten crimes, but the old lady Xie Daoqing still did not agree to execute him.
A minister named Weng He said: "The place in Jianning is where Zhu Xi teaches. Even a three-year-old child understands the truth. People there will be nauseated when they hear Jia Sidao's name, let alone Saying that I saw him, it is better to exile him to a remote area.”
The public opinion cannot be violated. Mrs. Xie has no choice but to agree to send him to Lingnan.
Who will send him? No one wants to take care of such a rat crossing the street that people hate.
Just when Jia Sidao was extremely embarrassed, a man volunteered to send him to Lingnan. This person is the Wei Zheng Huchen of Kuaiji County.
But before Jia Sidao had time to be happy, he discovered that this Zheng Huchen had an enmity with him... he once sent his father down to an official.
He realized that his next days would be even more difficult.......
Sure enough, Zheng Huchen drove away a dozen concubines around him when he arrived. Just leave him two.
then took off the top cover of his sedan chair, so that although he was sitting in the sedan chair, he was exposed to the sun every day... On the road, sings insults in his dialect...
Jia Sidao was so angry that he would vomit blood, but there was no way. Who let himself offend so many people back then, now it's time to pay off his debts.
But he obviously did not realize that he was so hated by others, the root cause was the things he did that deceive the top and conceal the bottom and harm the country and the people.
The "battle" of deception
In 1254, Kublai Khan besieged Ezhou and Song, the capital of Jianghuai Lizong ordered Jia Sidao to lead the army. At this time, the Mongolian Great Khan Mengge died in the battle of Diaoyucheng, and Kublai Khan decided to go back to Mongolia to fight for the position of the Great Khan.
Jia Sidao privately sent an envoy to contact Kublai Khan, expressing that the Southern Song Dynasty was willing to claim the money and cede the land north of the Yangtze River for peace.
Kublai Khan was anxious to return to Mongolia to seize the throne, so he smoothly agreed to Jia Sidao's request for peace. The Siege of Ezhou was solved in this way.
Then came the dramatic scene. Jia Sidao obviously reconciled the siege of Ezhou through humiliation.Going back, he claimed that he led the troops to defeat the Mongolian army...
Such a low-level lie, the faint-hearted Song Lizong actually believed... Then he praised him for his meritorious service to Sheji, Feng Shao Shi and Wei Jing Gong.
In 1260 AD, Kublai Khan sent envoy Hao Jing to the Southern Song Dynasty to ask Jia Sidao for the money he promised to hand in during the peace talks. Jia Sidao was worried that his secret humiliation and appeal to Kublai Khan would be shaken out, so he detained the envoy Hao Jing in Zhenzhou.
Kublai became furious when he learned about this. He hated this kind of treachery. The reputation of Southern Song Dynasty was reduced to a freezing point because of Jia Sidao's stupid practice.
In the subsequent battle between Song and Mongolia, Kublai was indifferent to the Southern Song's petition and insisted that it surrender, which is inseparable from Jia Sidao's deceit.
Although this incident had an extremely bad influence on the diplomacy of Song and Mongolia, Song Lizong knew nothing about it. Jia Sidao also became the sole authority in the Southern Song Dynasty because of lifting the siege of Ezhou.
Cricket Prime Minister
After the siege of Ezhou, Kublai was busy solving Mongolia’s internal affairs and had no time to take care of the Southern Song court. The Southern Song Dynasty entered a period of relative stability and peace. This made the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty immersed in an illusion of peace and prosperity.
In 1264 AD, Song Lizong died. Jia Sidao supported Song Duzong as his successor. Because of his support, his power became more stable. Song Duzong's mediocrity was inferior to that of his father. He turned a blind eye to the threats of the Mongolian army close at hand, and the monarchs continued to live a life of drunken life and death.
In order to have more enjoyment, Song Duzong handed over the power of the Central Government to Jia Sidao, respectfully calling him "Master", and awarded Pingzhang Military State Important Matters. Jia Sidao of this period seemed to be a Taishang.
In 1267 AD, Song Duzong gave Jia Sidao the villa next to the West Lake, and gave him a grace for three days. Jia Sidao extensively expanded the villa and named it Banxiantang.
Although Song Duzong entitles him to one dynasty for three days, in fact, he is one dynasty for five days. At other times, he ignores the court and government, is addicted to fighting crickets all day long, and raises crickets. Er, the experience of fighting crickets has been written into a book, "The Cricket Classic".
Of course, Jia Sidao, who always enjoys life, is not just fighting crickets.
He heard that the hero Yu Jie had a jade belt to bury him, so regardless of the fact that Yu Gong was already in the soil, he dug up his tomb frantically and took out the jade belt.
Because he played in Banxiantang and West Lake all the year round, there was a nursery rhyme ridiculing him among the people of Lin'an at that time: "There is no prime minister in the court, and there is a Ping Zhang on the lake."
In 1270, Wen Tianxiang was promoted to the position of military inspector and storyteller for Chongzheng Hall because of his outstanding political achievements. In Jia Sidao's view, Wen Tianxiang's promotion completely relies on his support.
At this time, the continual defeat of the battle in Xiangyang on the front line made the ruling and opposition parties criticize Jia Sidao. He wanted to threaten Song Duzong by resigning and returning to his hometown because of the unfavorable situation of the government. When Wen Tianxiang drafted the imperial edict for Song Duzong, he did not flatter him like others, but bluntly pointed out his dereliction of duty, which caused Jia Sidao's strong hatred.
So Wen Tianxiang, who was passionate about serving the country, was expelled from the court by his thoughts and hurried home.
During Jia Sidao's reign, instead of doing nothing, he deliberately eliminated dissidents. The rapid demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was inseparable from him.
Scream for myself
Although he has committed the above crimes, Jia Sidao himself does not feel that he has sinned too much. , He felt very wronged in his heart for his exile.
On the last birthday of his life, he wrote a poem "Jian Ben Jia Qing Ci", which not only complained for himself, but also praised himself for his integrity and his contribution to the country.
Zheng Huchen couldn't bear it. In September of this year, when a group of people arrived in Nanjian Prefecture by water (now Nanping, Fujian), he tried to persuade Jia Sidao to commit suicide: "The water here is really clear. It is a suicide. Good place!"
Jia Sidao was startled, and said with a dry smile: "No way, the Queen Mother won’t let me die."
Zheng Huchen was so angry that he kept humiliating and tossing him along the way. But he should eat and drink, just like a okay person.
When I arrived in Zhangzhou, Jia Sidao had a nightmare one night and was very scared. This nightmare made him realize that he might really live to the end, but he still couldn't bear to die, and wanted to be quite strong.
Soon he arrived at Kumian Temple, and his sense of uncertainty became more serious.
It seems it's really time to hit the road! He bit the bullet and swallowed a lot of borneol. Who knew that the borneol had expired! He didn't die after eating, and he was vomiting up and down...
Zheng Huchen was so angry that he completely lost his patience, rushed into the toilet to catch Jia Sidao and fell to the ground.
Traitor Jia Sidao was thrown to death in the toilet like this...
