Chapter 55: The prince supervises the country, and I want to tour the south
"Alas!" Zhao Ji sighed, shook his head, and said, "If you can't eat it, don't eat it! It's unbecoming of a prince to look like this in fear!"
Zhao Huan repeatedly claimed: "My son is guilty. My father is displeased. This is actually my unfilial piety..."
Zhao Ji smiled, pulled up his eldest son Zhao Huan, who was kneeling in front of him, and said meaningfully:
"Prince, as long as you don't look like 'Ba Snake', I'll be relieved!"
Although Zhao Huan is cowardly, his cultural level is still very high. When he heard his father talking about Ba Snake, he immediately thought of the idiom "Ba Snake Eats Elephant", which comes from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Ba Snake eats elephants,"
The bones were harvested at the age of three, and a gentleman will obey them without any worries." Prince Zhao Huan did not understand the meaning of his father's reference to "Ba Snake".
After all, in the Song Dynasty, there was no such thing as "the greedy snake swallows the elephant".
Zhao Huan saw his eldest son Zhao Huan standing there blankly, seemingly not understanding the meaning of his sentence, so he quoted two lines from a poem by Luo Hongxian, a scholar from the Ming Dynasty, and said:
"When people's hearts are weak, snakes swallow elephants, and when things happen in the world, beetles pounce on cicadas."
Zhao Huan's talents and learning are still acceptable. This time he understood clearly and immediately broke into a cold sweat. He felt that he understood the voice of his father's words. It should be a reminder not to covet the throne, right?
A "plop" sound.
Zhao Huan knelt down in front of Zhao Ji again and excused himself:
"My son has no virtue and incompetence. He has lived in the East Palace for a long time. His virtue is really not worthy of the throne. I am willing to give up the throne to the crown prince."
"Hahaha!" Zhao Ji laughed.
He sighed in his heart: "If it were so easy to change the prince, I would have changed him long ago."
Zhao Ji knew that his eldest son Zhao Huan was definitely not suitable to be emperor.
According to the normal development of history, six years later, the original owner Song Huizong heard that the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River. He was so frightened that he fled the capital and abdicated the throne. Prince Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne. This was Song Qinzong, the famous subjugated king of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In fact, from a macro perspective, most of the blame for the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty in history was borne by the original owner Song Huizong.
However, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan's responsibility is not small.
Zhao Huan was indecisive, capricious, and lacked judgment on national and military issues.
In the first year of Jingkang in history (i.e. 1126), when the Jin army came to Bianliang City, the capital of Song Dynasty, for the first time,
Although Zhao Huan, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, had no choice but to reuse Li Gang to stay in Tokyo, responsible for defending Tokyo and organizing the army and the people to unite to resist the Jin army. The effect of defending the city was very good, forcing the Jin army to be unable to attack Bianjing city;
However, when Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan, was at a time when the country was in danger of life and death, he was cowardly, indecisive, and listened to slander. He listened to the advice of the treacherous minister Li Bangyan and sent an envoy to Jin camp to discuss ceding territory and suing for peace and slander, and prepared to ask Jin for help.
and...
As a result, Jin Jun made a claim for the asking price...
The terms of peace between the Jin and Song Dynasties were:
Song gave the Jin army five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, and one million pieces of silk;
The Song Dynasty was still a dynasty that mainly used copper coins as its main currency. It was not like the mid-Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty where silver could be imported from abroad. How could there be so much precious metal gold and silver in the Song Dynasty?
The treasury was already empty. How could there be so much gold and silver? They had no choice but to order a search in the capital, which made every family uneasy, everyone frightened, the whole city was in chaos, and the government and the public were noisy.
The terms of the peace negotiation also stipulated that the Emperor of Jin should be honored as his uncle, and the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian should be ceded; the prime minister and the prince should be sent to the Jin camp as hostages and the Jin army should be sent across the Yellow River.
Li Bangyan and other treacherous ministers tried their best to persuade Zhao Huan to accept these terms.
Zhao Huan actually agreed, but Li Gang firmly opposed...
As a result, Song Yinzong Zhao Huan immediately dismissed Li Gang...
When the Jin army besieged Bianjing for the second time,
Li Gang and Zhong Shidao were deprived of military power one after another. Song Qinzong gave full power of war, defense and peace to Prime Minister He Li.
Prime Minister He Li was superstitious about Guo Jing, a charlatan who claimed to be a Taoist and a god. He recommended it to Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, and then reused Guo Jing's "Liujia Divine Soldiers" (actually a group of hooligans, people from three religions and nine schools) to defend the capital...
The nearly 10,000 "Liujia Divine Soldiers" recruited by Guo Jing were dressed up in weird ways and made great fanfare. When they went out of the city to face the Jin Army's cavalry, they collapsed at the first touch...
Guo Jing, who was doing the magic on the city tower, saw that something was going wrong and had not spent all the heavy reward he had obtained through deception, so he had to take advantage of the chaos to take three thousand "Liujia Divine Soldiers" out of the city and take the opportunity to escape.
(He led the 'Magic Soldiers' to escape near Xiangyang, and after being abandoned for about five months, he was led by Zhang Sizheng, the commander of Xiangyang, who defeated the 'Liujia Divine Soldiers' and beheaded the great liar Guo Jing.)
After Guo Jing's "Liujia Divine Soldiers" were defeated and fled, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan led two Jin armies to break through the outer city of Bianjing.
At this time, the inner city and the imperial city had not yet been conquered by the Jin army.
However, in the eleventh month of the first year of Jingkang, Emperor Qinzong Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty, who was suffering from "an incurable disease in the late stage of the second disease", actually listened to the Jin army's peace talks. He personally left the imperial city and went to the Jin army camp to negotiate peace, and then
He was detained by the Jin people and would never be released again.
Zhao Ji feels that the current prince Zhao Huan is out of his mind, or has been squeezed by the door? Or both.
Where is my third son Zhao Kai?
Although Zhao Kai is as smart and talented as me, he also won the first prize in the imperial examination and became the first prince in history;
However, history has proven that during a time of national calamity, Zhao Kai led an army as commander, but was defeated miserably by the Jin army. Zhao Kai slightly lost in martial arts...
My ninth son, Zhao Gou!
It was Zhao Gou who crossed King Kang on a mud horse. Later, the Jin army went south to search the mountains and seas, and it was Zhao Gou who wanted to capture him.
This Xiaojiu really knows how to escape. He was able to escape to the sea by boat and spend the New Year's Eve...
However, Zhao Gou still had merit and saved half of our country in the Song Dynasty.
However, Zhao Gou's only youngest son died shortly after experiencing the 'Miao-Liu Mutiny'...
Then, Xiao Jiu and Zhao Gou never gave birth to another child. They had to choose two boys from the descendants of Song Taizu, and then choose one of the two boys to adopt one as his heir.
What the hell, this is equivalent to returning the lineage of Song Taizong to the lineage of Song Taizu!"
Damn it! Zhao Ji felt that when his eldest son took the initiative to resign and did not want to be the crown prince, he had a lot of random thoughts.
In short, the sons, daughters, and Zhao Ji who have taken over the body of the original owner Song Huizong are naturally the princes and the emperors and concubines, and they have real feelings of flesh and blood that cannot be separated from their bodies.<
/p>
However, Zhao Ji will never forget that his soul is that of a boy in his twenties, (ahem) actually a young man;
Now, the body I occupy is only thirty-eight years old!
How much I hope to use my soul and body to work together with my beloved woman to create several pairs of children of my own. If I can choose the outstanding one to succeed him, it will be the best.
Thinking about this, Zhao Ji touched the crown of Prince Zhao Huan's head and said lovingly:
"Prince, the foundation of the country!
I have no intention of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones.
Huan'er, you worry too much.
I summoned you because I wanted to tell you in advance.
The day after tomorrow, I am going to leave the palace and go on a tour to the south.
The prince oversees the country!"
Zhao Huan said in surprise: "Father, why do you want to patrol the south?"
