Chapter 1686 Cultural Treasures

It can be said that the law of heaven circulates and retribution is unhappy. The Jin people suffered retribution, and the traitors of the Jin Dynasty will naturally not have a good end. This is just like those traitorous ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and their families will not have a good end.

At that time, after the Mongolian soldiers entered the city, Cui Li happened to be outside the city for the Mongols to urge the Jin Dynasty royal family to go on their way.

Unexpectedly, the Mongolian soldiers "entered his home first and took away the treasures and jade from his wives and concubines". Cui Li "cryed loudly after hearing the news", but he had no choice but to retaliate immediately!

Soon, Cui Li himself was beheaded by his subordinates Li Qi, Li Boyuan and others, and the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing "fighted to dissect him and eat him."

"The leader of the Jin (Guo) captives and the emperor's ministers, a hundred years later, he started Cui Li's crazy plan to cause a catastrophe in Qingcheng. Zengzi said: 'If you give warnings, those who go against you will do the opposite.'

.Don’t you believe it?”

The historians of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties (presumably after the Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty) also took pleasure in the misfortunes of the Jin Dynasty, so they made the above summary.

In May of AD 13 (the second year of Kaixing in the Jin Dynasty and the sixth year of Shaoding in the Southern Song Dynasty), the smoke and flames in Bianliang, the "Nanjing" of the Jin Dynasty, gradually died down, and the shouts of charging soldiers gradually fell silent. Only the broken towers and oars of the former strong city,

And the smell of rotting corpses that can be smelled in the nose reminds the living people: this place has just experienced a hellish catastrophe.

Early summer is supposed to be the most pleasant season in the north. The breeze blows, the sun is warm but not scorching, and the sky is often so blue that it makes people feel like they are in a dream.

Suddenly, the Kaiyang Gate of Bianjing suddenly opened. There was no usual solemn Yu Yi, no sound of Jin Emperor's shouts to clear the way, but one after another elephant chariots, leather chariots, and root carts were seen.

Heavy Zhai chariots and golden root chariots filed out.

This kind of ceremonial chariot is a special chariot for the royal family.

The curtains of each carriage were tightly closed, lacking the solemnity and majesty of the past. From time to time, the uncontrollable wailing of men and women could be heard coming from the carriages.

There were Mongolian soldiers standing in front, back and left of the chariot. They looked nervous and excited, their big flat faces were dark and shiny, and they unconsciously held the weapons in their hands very tightly.

After the dozen or so large vehicles specially used by the Jin Dynasty royal family, there were more than twenty newly built large open-top vehicles. There were dozens of people in each vehicle. Judging from their clothes, they were all men and women of the Jin Dynasty clan.

After that, there was a large group of pedestrians, most of whom were leaders of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, medical officers, fortune tellers, craftsmen, and embroiderers. They were in despair and were driven away by the Mongolian soldiers.

Forward.

Among all these people, including the Jin Dynasty’s Queen Mother Wang, Queen Tu Shan, Liang Wang Wanyan Congke, Jing Wang Wanyan Shouchun (Jin Aizong’s second brother) and the beautiful concubines with titles in the Jin Dynasty palace, there are three cars in total.

Seventeen vehicles, more than 500 men and women from the clan, three religions, palace craftsmen, and countless embroiderers.

The final destination of these people was the Mongolian capital Helin (now Harhorin, Mongolia).

Of course, not everyone could reach Helin alive. Not long after the group left the city, Subotai, the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian attack on Bian, was already sitting high on the Qingcheng high platform five miles outside Bianjing.

He ordered people to carefully identify all the royal men of the Jin Dynasty, including Liang Wang Wanyan Congke, Jing Wang Wanyan Shouchun, etc. from the vehicles one by one. After the counting and examination, all the golden men of the Jin Dynasty were slaughtered on the road like chickens and ducks.

They massacred everyone on the side, leaving no one alive.

Then, the Mongolian generals at all levels stepped on the blood everywhere, howling and screaming, and rushed into the vehicle of the beautiful concubine of the Jin Kingdom who had been frightened out of her soul.

Habits became natural, and the remaining women were regarded as rewards for victory in the siege. Several people grabbed one, stripped off these pale-faced beauties, and began a horrifying ***** in broad daylight. The atrocities of violence continued until the next morning. The royal women and embroidered girls of the Jin Dynasty who were lucky enough to survive the brutal violence were escorted to Helin.

"The road was extremely difficult and difficult, especially when it was during the Hui (Zong) and Qin (Zong) periods of the Song Dynasty."

From 1128 AD to 1133 AD, 105 years passed, just over a century, and the same tragic scene happened again in the same place.

However, the protagonist of the tragedy a hundred years ago was the Northern Song Dynasty royal family, and the protagonist of the tragedy now is the descendant of the Jurchen royal family, the victor of that year.

The flat-faced soldiers standing in front and to the left and right of the Jurchen royal family holding swords are Mongolians from the prairie further north.

The histories are surprisingly similar!

History is such a bizarre drama!

Once upon a time, the Jurchens, who "lived like hair and drank blood, were almost non-human", after more than a hundred years of sinicization and civilization, they finally became part of an orderly, civilized world that upholds Confucian concepts.

Nowadays, when the more barbaric Mongols similar to their ancestors come on horseback, the civilized barbarians can only bow their heads to the Mongols who are more barbaric than them.

The hard-won civilization was instantly shattered into pieces under the collision of iron fire!

In the seven or eight hundred years after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, in many poems and articles discussing the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the place name "Qingcheng" appeared frequently, which attracted people's attention.

Qingcheng was located south of Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan Province) in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Tianhui in the early Jin Dynasty (1126), the Jin soldiers captured Bianjing. The Xu Song Dynasty negotiated peace, and the Song Huizong, Qinzong, concubines, and the royal family were escorted to Qingcheng and escorted to Qingcheng. Golden State.

107 years after the incident, Cui Li of the Jin Kingdom stayed in Nanjing (Bianjing) and surrendered the enemy with the city. The Mongolian army also used Qingcheng to capture the concubine of the Jin Kingdom. The royal family went north and was escorted to Helin.

History is so ruthless and yet so intriguing.

During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, someone chanted a poem about Qingcheng in Bianjing: "A hundred miles of wind and frost are empty of green trees, and a hundred years of ups and downs will bring back the Qingcheng."

Hao Jing's poem "Qingcheng Xing" in the early Yuan Dynasty says: "In the early years of Tianxing and the end of Jingkang, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. It is similar to the situation when a king takes over others. It is also a common thing nowadays."

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the second minister Qian Qianyi said when talking about the death of Jin: "Wow! The kings and ministers of the source of Jin rose from the sea, destroyed the Liao Dynasty and destroyed the Song Dynasty, just like a prairie fire of poisonous fire. If it declines, it will also turn into the flattery of a weak master. I, you, sit down with your eyebrows lowered and your hands folded, waiting for its demise. The Song Dynasty also died in Qingcheng, and the Jin Dynasty also died in Qingcheng. You started with this, and you will end with this, don't be careful!"

Therefore, the law of heaven circulates and retribution is unsatisfactory. If you inflict pain on others, others will also bless you.

In that era, it was an era that was more barbaric than barbaric. It defeated barbarism and barbarism defeated civilization until civilization became more civilized and left no room for barbarism. At this time, barbarians are savages, so just let them continue to be barbarians.

Huangshan suddenly said: "No wonder now that several big countries around us don't want to see the Mongols."

After seeing the funerary objects in Genghis Khan's mausoleum, you can know how barbaric they were back then. Now that retribution has come to them, let them continue to be barbaric.

At this time, Han Kongque also thought that the fate of the Mongols had not been much better since the Ming Dynasty.

The Jurchen descendants need them, but in the White Russian era, they were massacred in batches. Even though the country has been established now, they are still poor. This should be their best destination.

"At this time, I understood why the country became strong and powerful, but it didn't think about bringing the Outer Mongols back. What would they do if they came back? Just surround them like this, keep them poor, and keep them living like barbarians.

Life is better." Jin Yao also sighed.

The Jin State robbed the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were robbed by the Mongols. Now only piles of relics are left here.

"It was true that barbarism defeated civilization back then. Look, these are the cultural and artistic treasures of the Jin Kingdom. But in the end, didn't they fall into the hands of Genghis Khan and enter his tomb?" Han Peacock looked at the paintings and calligraphy left behind.

A little emotional.

The development of art in the Jin Dynasty also made great achievements in various aspects. For example, here, Han Peacock unearthed more than 500 scrolls in just a pile of waste paper.

After just a brief inspection, Han Kongque knew that these were famous paintings collected by the calligraphy and painting academy during the Jin Zhangzong era and those collected by the Southern Song Dynasty.

Among them, there are more than 550 volumes of calligraphy and paintings bearing the seals of Wang Tingyun and Secretary Lang Zhang Rufang. Of course, there are even more calligraphy and paintings bearing the seal of Jin Zhangzong.

In 1127, the Jin soldiers captured Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and looted the Song Dynasty's collection of paintings, taking the painters captive and heading north.

The court of the Jin Dynasty focused on the collection of famous paintings and calligraphy, based on the paintings collected from the Northern Song Dynasty and the Imperial Household Collection, and then collected them from the private sector to enrich them.

Under the influence of Han culture, the painting of the Jin Dynasty was more prosperous than that of the Liao Dynasty. Especially during the period from Jin Shizong to Jin Zhangzong, painting activities became increasingly active.

Jin Zhangzong was good at poetry and calligraphy, and also loved painting. He set up a calligraphy and painting bureau under the supervision of the government secretary to appraise the collected paintings, and imitated Song Huizong's calligraphy to inscribe and seal famous works.

"Flying Horses", "Dead Trees", "Magical Turtles", "Six Horses of Zhaoling", "Wen Ji Returns to the Han", famous paintings were unearthed one after another, leaving Korean Peacock not knowing what to say.

.

Each of these famous paintings is a treasure, each of them is a famous painting that has been passed down through the ages, but very few people have seen it. Even Han Peacock only knew that these scrolls actually existed by reading history. He did not expect that they were actually here.

Saw them all.

At this time, Han Peacock also had to lament that several emperors of the Jin Kingdom also did some good things, such as robbing the collection of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family. Of course, the Mongols also did good things, they robbed the royal collection of the Jin Kingdom.

Regardless of right or wrong, barbarism or civilization, these paintings and calligraphy can be preserved, and the robbers back then also have a certain amount of credit.

At that time, the Jin Dynasty set up a painting department under the supervision of the Shaofu, "in charge of the painting and engraving goldsmith". The famous paintings at that time include Yu Zhongwen's "Flying Horse", Wang Tingyun's "Dead Wood", Zhang Gui's "Magic Turtle", painted by Zhao Lin.

"Six Horses of Zhaoling" and so on, among which Zhang Yu's "Wen Ji Returns to the Han Dynasty" is the best.

Other works are by many famous people, such as Song Huizong. Although he was not very good as emperor, his thin golden body was outstanding. (To be continued.)
