The short videos I watched from all dynasties

[November of the first year of Jingkang

The Jin army returned, conquering Taiyuan on the western front and almost all of Hedong on the eastern front. The two armies of the Jin army successfully joined forces, with a combined force of over 150,000 soldiers surrounding Bianjing and completely isolating it.

The Northern Song Dynasty was firmly dominated by ministers who advocated peace. They felt that as long as they paid tribute to the Jin Dynasty and ceded territory and paid compensation, they could once again resolve the siege of Bianliang.

Generals from all over the country who wanted to come to the rescue were suppressed by the peace advocates Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong in the court and were not allowed to come to the rescue. They were only willing to stop fighting and negotiate peace. Only Zhang Shuye disobeyed the order, recruited soldiers to come to the rescue, and broke into the city.

Before the fall of Taiyuan, Zong Shidao wrote a petition to Emperor Qinzong of Song, asking him to move to Chang'an to avoid the enemy. Emperor Qinzong thought Zong Shidao was afraid of the enemy, so he recalled him. Soon, Zong Shidao died in grief and anger.

Emperor Qinzong of Song personally came to hold memorial services for him, wept bitterly on the spot, and posthumously awarded him the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi.

Soon Song Qinzong will regret not listening to Zong Shidao. 】

[The defending generals and soldiers in Bianjing City were in confusion and there were no unified rules. The city was in chaos before the Jin army even started attacking.

During the first siege, there was Li Gang, a pro-war faction in the court who insisted on resisting the enemy. During the second siege, Song Qinzong gave full authority to Prime Minister He Li over all matters.

After decades of governance by Emperor Huizong of Song, everyone in the court was extremely devout in Taoism.

So when Sun Fu, the co-director of the Privy Council, met Guo Jing, he said, "I have Taoist magic skills and can perform the Taoist "Liujia Method". With only 7,777 people in formation, we can capture the Jin general alive and repel the enemy."

He recommended him to Zhao Huan and He Li, who believed in him without a doubt and directly granted him an official position and gave him tens of thousands of gold and silk.

One day, the Jin army attacked Bian Jing with all their might. Guo Jing announced that he would send the Six Jia Divine Soldiers to meet the enemy. Before leaving, he said that his magic power was too high and he was afraid of hurting the Song army, so he asked them to retreat a few miles away.

Zhang Shuye thought this was not a very reliable plan and it was better to be safe, so he requested to lead an army to ambush on the top of the city to provide support. However, Guo Jing refused, so Zhang Shuye had to take the troops a few miles away as he requested.

Guo Jing's so-called "magic soldiers" were all "rogues" who didn't know any magic at all. He was just a liar. Seeing that the "magic soldiers" were defeated by the Jin army, Guo Jing said that he would go out of the city to meet the enemy himself.

These people believed it again, so Guo Jing opened the door and slipped away.

The city gates were open, and the Song army was only a few miles away. The Jin army entered the city in such a ridiculous way, and Bianjing was destroyed... 】

【 The soldiers in the city and the 300,000 civilians were very determined to resist the Jin army. If Emperor Qinzong of Song Zhao Huan had been more normal, not weak, and had more backbone, and united the army and civilians to fight street battles, he could have also exhausted the Jin army that came from afar and whose domestic situation was unstable.

Because the Jin army was also worried that the Song army would suffer too many casualties in street fighting, after occupying the city wall, they sent people to ask Song Qinzong Zhao Huan to come in person to negotiate.

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was so frightened that he lost his mind. When he heard that he could negotiate again, he didn't care about the danger of going to the enemy camp in person and agreed immediately.

At this time, there was a general of the imperial guards named Jiang Xuan who said that he was willing to lead his men to protect the emperor and break through the siege. However, after knowing that peace talks were possible, Song Qinzong firmly refused. He was afraid that Jiang Xuan would act alone and anger the Jin people, which would make the peace talks fail, so he executed Jiang Xuan on the charge of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Unfortunately, Song Qinzong was detained when he arrived at the Jin camp. The Jin army asked him to write a surrender letter with four-six parallel sentences. The Jin army was not satisfied with the first time he wrote it, so they asked him to write it a second time...

In the surrender letter, Song Qinzong had to bow down to the Jin Kingdom, beg for forgiveness, and order the generals in all directions not to send troops to help. He even proposed an even more outrageous compensation than the last time: 10 million gold, 20 million silver, and 10 million silk.

In addition, two imperial princesses, four princesses from the royal family, four princesses from clans, 2,500 palace maids, 1,500 female musicians, and 3,000 craftsmen of various kinds must be sent to the Jin army.

Song Qinzong agreed to all of them without exception. Although he was submissive to the outside world, he struck hard at home.

After returning, he began to plunder the people to collect money, but it was still not enough. So the Jin people said that they could use the concubines, princesses, and women of the royal family to pay off the debt, and they clearly marked the price. Zhao Huan did as he was told.

A few days later, the Jin army once again asked Zhao Huan to go to the Jin camp. Zhao Huan thought that since it was no problem the first time, it should be no problem this time.

However, he made a wrong bet this time, and Song Qinzong never came back. Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who had been under house arrest in the palace, was also at a loss after the Jin army entered the city.

The Jin people used the same old trick again and sent envoys to ask Song Huizong to leave the city for negotiations, and said that if the negotiations were successful, they would release both father and son.

Zhang Shuye told Zhao Ji that he was willing to lead elite troops to break out at night when the Jin army was careless. Song Huizong thought Zhang Shuye's suggestion was unreliable. The city was surrounded and there was no way to get out, so he refused. He chose to go to the Jin camp and was finally detained.

The Jin army ordered the crown prince Zhao Chen to leave the city again. The commander Wu Ge wanted to use the remaining soldiers to escort the crown prince out of the siege, but the co-secretary Sun Fu did not allow it. They hid Zhao Chen among the people and killed a man who looked like the crown prince and a eunuch and sent them to the Jin army.

However, Fan Qiong was afraid of something unexpected happening, so he threatened the soldiers protecting Zhao Chen and asked them to take the crown prince and Queen Zhu hostage and send them to the Jin camp.

The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty

＜Why can’t we just march into Tokyo and seize the throne of this damn emperor! ＞

＜ As expected, like father, like son＞

＜ Song Qinzong: Are you teaching me how to do things? ＞

＜What can you say about Sun Fu? He died for his country after the city was captured…＞

＜“Li Li Yuan Shang Pu”＞

＜ To be honest, I am really curious about the educational policy of the royal family of Daisong… ＞

＜ So that’s how I got in??? I opened the door myself???＞

＜ Was Emperor Qinzong of Song really not under a spell? ＞

＜I don’t believe you when you say Guo Jing is not a spy for the Jin army… ＞

＜Jin Jun: Do we send such a person?＞

＜ I understand. The Song Dynasty really just gave it to me＞

＜These two emperors are really the worst＞

＜Ahhhhh I don’t understand why you still kill people who are loyal to you. Don’t the people of the Northern Song Dynasty think that these two emperors are mentally ill?＞

＜ Why can we always exclude the correct answer ＞

＜ The plum blossoms bloomed twice, Song Huizong, do you want to see what happened to your son?＞

＜Zhao Guangyi's lineage is really no good, fortunately the Southern Song Dynasty returned to the lineage of Taizu＞

＜ Zhao Chen, sigh, if the people save you, who will save the people? ＞

＜He can’t even protect his own wife and concubines. He is such a coward…＞

＜ The concubines and princesses were really miserable. It seems that most of the children born to Emperor Huizong of Song in the Jin Dynasty were not his own＞

＜Zhao Kuangyin would be so angry after reading this episode＞

＜Starving people everywhere, the ground is in a mess＞

……

No matter how many times I watch the Jingkang Shame, I am always amazed at the actions of Emperors Hui and Qin. Without them, the Northern Song Dynasty might have been better off...

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask: "So how did the Dasong royal family educate their heirs?"

Liu Bang looked at it and shook his head. This Song Dynasty was really shameful. The Taizu seemed to be quite powerful and ended a dark era, but his descendants were so cowardly...

Sima Yan looked at the Jingkang Shame, and his intuition told him that the Western Jin Dynasty would probably fall at about the same time...

Yang Jian and Li Shimin were both thinking about how to educate their heirs.

I don’t know if Zhao Kuangyin was angry to death, but even Song Renzong, who had a good temper, was so angry that he started cursing in the palace!

Song Dynasty, Qiande 6th year

"Father!"

Zhao Dezhao grabbed the imperial physician and asked him to take Zhao Kuangyin's pulse.

The imperial physician felt the emperor's pulse with trepidation, but in fact he already knew in his heart that the emperor had fainted because of the anger he saw on the screen.

Alas, I don’t know what the quick-acting heart-saving pill is…

Zhao Dezhao stared at the imperial physician, who cautiously said that his majesty would just need a few injections.

Song Dynasty, the second year of Chonghe

With the words of Guangmu still fresh in his ears, Song Huizong Zhao Ji swept the painting to the ground, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving beside him lowered their heads.

"Get out, get everyone out of here."

Zhao Ji felt that everyone around him was laughing at him and mocking him.

"The people saved me, who will save the people?"

"They are all troublemakers! Rioters!"

Li Gang, who wanted to come for an audience, frowned when he heard this.

If word of the emperor's words were to get out, what would the people of the Song Dynasty think?

When Zhao Ji saw Li Gang coming, he told him to speak quickly without any moodiness.

"Your Majesty, the people in the city are kneeling in front of the palace gates, clamoring for the court to expel all the peace-loving officials..."

"That's all? Then just drive him away." Zhao Ji nonchalantly asked Li Gang to step back and do his job.

Li Gang didn't leave: "They still want to see you."

"?" Didn't Zhao Ji understand that these lowly people didn't know the rules? How could they see the emperor? He waved his hand and told Li Gang to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Li Gang still did not leave, which made Zhao Ji a little dissatisfied, "Why, I still can't command you?"

"Your Majesty, the people in the city are uneasy, so you should go and meet them..." Li Gang advised again bitterly.

Because Guangmu said that if his sons could unite the military and civilians more, the Northern Song Dynasty would not be destroyed, so Zhao Ji finally went to meet him.

Zhao Ji heard shouting outside before he reached the palace gate. When he got closer and heard what they were shouting, Zhao Ji wanted to laugh, then he became suspicious, and finally his hands and feet felt cold.

"My dear, what's wrong..." Zhao Ji looked at Li Gang.

Li Gang responded in silence. At this time, several soldiers came out and pulled Zhao Ji to the palace gate quickly.

"The tyrant emperor Zhao Ji should abdicate!"

"abdicate!"

"We don't want a tyrant!"

"abdicate!"

……

Countless people of Bian Jing gathered at the palace gate and loudly stated their demands.

Why should I work for this tyrant? He might not even be happy to work for him, haha.

Song Huizong and his son not only broke the hearts of loyal officials, but also broke the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty...

The servility and subservience shown to the Jin army had completely destroyed the image of the Song government in the hearts of the people.

How can a man who can even sell his own wife and daughter govern the Song Dynasty well?

……

This bloodless coup led to the dethronement of Crown Prince Zhao Huan and the abdication of Emperor Zhao Ji due to illness within just one day.

At this time, the Song Dynasty was in a situation without an emperor and could not take any major actions, otherwise the external Liao, Jin, and Western Xia would take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the situation.

After discussion among the ministers, they decided to believe Guangmu's words and choose one from the descendants of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
