Welcome to see this article on history of xiaobian, if you can bring you a little knowledge and analysis, it is the honor of xiaobian, let's take a look at it with Xiaobian!
We hate the people who betray the country and seek glory, and we also hate those who only know how to seek peace and save their lives, a pair of father and son emperors are forever set on the shame rack of history, let us go back to more than 800 years ago, in 1125 AD, the Jin soldiers invaded the Song Dynasty on a large scale, and by the next year, they had reached the capital kaifeng. The incompetent Song Qinzong was so frightened that he was going to die, so he agreed to Jin Bing's conditions and deposed Li Gang, the main warrior faction. Kaifeng fell, and the Jin soldiers used the pretext of asking the emperor to negotiate personally, and took the opportunity to abduct Song Huizong (赵佶) and his son Song Qinzong (赵桓), which is the famous "Shame of Jingkang" in history, and then took them prisoner. Father and son and emperor became prisoners at the same time, which is unique in the history of our country.
Along with Hui and the Second Emperor of Qin, there were also a group of female dependents such as Empress Zhu. The Jin people locked the Second Emperor in a small room for 7 days, and even a figure could not be seen. Empress Zhu was weak, humiliated and tired all the way, and soon fell ill and died. The guards took a straw mat and rolled Up Empress Zhu's body, dragged it out and buried it hastily. Poor generation of queens, thus ending her life. Zhao Huan, Emperor Qinzong, did not even dare to cry out loud, so he had to secretly wipe away his tears.
The next day, an official informed the two emperors that they would be transferred immediately, so 20 soldiers, taking the father and son emperors, were on foot. It was the sweltering heat of June, such weather was walking in the desert, and there was often no water to drink on the road, and the hardships along the way could be imagined. It took 12 days to reach our destination. At this time, the Second Emperor had already become black and thin, described as withered, messy and fluffy, no different from refugees, where was the appearance of a half-point emperor?
Soon, they were sent to prison again, and the guards sent some coarse rice and pickle soup every day to save their lives. Poor two emperors, who had not changed a single piece of clothing for several months from spring to summer, were already greasy and filthy, full of lice. One night, the city suddenly burst into flames, shouting and killing, and it turned out that there were two leaders here, one was a Khitan and the other was a Jin, and the two had always been at odds. The Khitans wanted to capture the Second Emperor and then make a deal with the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the Jin people learned of the wind and raised troops overnight, killing them all.
Afterwards, the Jin people called Zhao Huan and scolded him: '' You, the dead emperor, dared to collude with the Khitans to murder me. Zhao Huan was so frightened that he quickly defended himself: "I am locked up in a barred window, and you are strictly guarded, so why would you conspire with him?"
Jin Was furious: "You, the death row prisoner, still have a hard mouth." Come on man, whip him 10 times!" When the soldiers received the order, they immediately drew their whips, and one of the whips landed on Zhao Huan's mouth, causing him to be bloodied, and even his teeth were knocked out several times. Despite this, the leader of the Golden People still refused to give up, and smoked a dozen more times, until Zhao Huan passed out on the ground before giving up.
After that, the two emperors were forced to transfer again, and along the way, the sick father supported his injured son, you helped me, I picked you up, I don't know how embarrassed. After arriving, he was locked up in prison, guarded inside and outside, and only one meal a day was delivered to save his life.
Soon, they met the uncle of the fourth prince, Jin Wushu, King Gaitian, and also met Emperor Qinzong's former concubine Wei Xianfei. It turned out that Princess Wei Xianfei had already become a woman by the side of the Great King of Gaitian. Thanks to Concubine Wei Xian, the treatment of the Second Emperor was much better, not only did he have a change of clothes, but his diet was much better.
But not long after, the Gaitian King took Concubine Wei Xian and changed another leader. This leader had suffered the losses of the Song Dynasty when he was fighting, and he hated the Second Emperor very much, so naturally he would not let go of this great opportunity to abuse them. A few days later, someone else came to the prison center to preach a message, saying that the Lord of Jin had an order, and asked the Second Emperor and the Empress Dowager to go to Liangzhou to listen to the handling.
Zhao Huan said with tears in his eyes, "If our father and son die here, where else do we have to go?" But where the Jin people would listen to them, drag them away. At that time, it was already the middle of winter, and the Second Emperor and empress dowager were full of blood blisters on their feet, taking one painful step at a time. The empress dowager was skinny and skinny, looking like a ghost, swaying in the wind. The escorts were afraid that they would not be able to account for their deaths, so they had to cut down a few branches and make 3 stretchers to carry them forward.
After walking like this for more than half a month, when they finally arrived in Liangzhou, the three of them were locked up in a broken room. At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty Han Shizhong and four other generals won the battle in a row, and the Jin lord was afraid that the Second Emperor would exchange news with them, and escorted them to the Five Kingdoms City. In this rush, the weak empress dowager ran out of oil and lamps, suffered for six or seven days, and did not take long to die. The soldiers cut a pit on the side of the road with knives and buried her and her clothes. The Second Emperor was so sad that he lost his voice and cried bitterly, and one of Huizong's eyes was also blind.
When they arrived at the City of Five Kingdoms, they were locked up in an earthen house and only sent one box of lunches a day to fill their hunger. Zhao Yao thought to himself, the tyranny of the golden lord, it was really not interesting to live bitterly, so he quietly tore his clothes into strips of cloth and prepared to commit suicide. Fortunately, he was found and saved by his son, and the father and son cried bitterly. After some time, they were escorted to Junju again. During this exertion, Zhao Tuo fell ill with a cough and died in April 1135. Song Qinzong was even more pitiful, he reigned for only 1 and a half years, was imprisoned by the Jin people for more than 30 years, and died of illness in Yanjing in 1161 AD. In this way, the two cowardly and incompetent emperors both harmed the people and themselves, and were written into the annals of history as negative teaching materials.
It is worth mentioning that the Ming Dynasty also had emperors who were prisoners of war, and the reason why this emperor became a prisoner of war is really ridiculous. This emperor is Ming Yingzong, the thing is this, the Mongol Wa Thorn tribe led the army to invade, at that time the Ming government has sent a large army to meet the battle, the war is not tense. At that time, Emperor Yingzong had a favored eunuch, and the war happened to be in this eunuch's hometown, so this eunuch instigated the emperor to march in person, hoping that as soon as the soldiers arrived, they could succeed on horseback. In his heart, he planned to invite the emperor to his hometown at the time of triumph, so that his eunuch could also honor his ancestors.
It just so happened that Yingzong was bored in the palace and wanted to go outside to play, so he happily agreed to this ridiculous suggestion.
Without any logistical preparations, 500,000 troops were hastily mobilized and set off. It was not far away to catch the storm, the food and grass were not good, the people were sleepy and the horses were scarce, and before they could fight the enemy, they were already full of corpses, and it was strange that such an army did not lose the battle. Soon, this army was defeated, and even Ming Yingzong was captured, which is the famous "change of Tumu Fort" in history. Fortunately, Emperor Yingzong's luck was better, and after a year of captivity, his brother ascended to the throne, and he had little use value. At that time, Mongolia was not strong enough to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, so it sent him back, so the captive emperor became emperor again, and he was also the only emperor of the Ming Dynasty who used two era names. Perhaps he himself felt a little embarrassed to regain the throne from his brother, so he simply changed the era name to "Tianshun", which means "rule by heaven".
