Song Huizong made great efforts in the early days of his accession to the throne. Why did he become so fatuous later?

Song Huizong, the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, was not only a famous artist who was good at painting, piano, chess and calligraphy, but also a dissolute, extravagant and dissolute king. During his rule of the country, traitors were in power, political corruption and social darkness. The ruling class frantically searched for the people's fat and cream, which led to the decline of people's livelihood and the uprising. The Jin people took the opportunity to invade the Central Plains, and Hui Zong eventually became a prisoner of the Jin State, and the Northern Song Dynasty was doomed.

First, Hui Zong succeeded to the throne.

In the year of Song San (A.D. 1 100), he ascended the throne in front of his coffin. At the beginning of his reign, Hui Zong showed a promising monarch. This is first manifested in his decree, which allows people all over the world to criticize and make suggestions on state affairs. There is an endless stream of people who say things, and most of them focus on how to get rid of treacherous court officials. At that time, the famous traitors in North Korea were Zhang, An, and Cai Jing. Dissatisfied with Zhang's long-term opposition to his accession to the throne, he punished a prime minister just for playing books, and was afraid of being criticized, so he sent Zhang to be responsible for the burial of Zhezong. Zhang accidentally dropped the hearse into the mire and it took him a day to pull it out. As a result, he was impeached by the minister and disrespected the first emperor. It was reported that he framed Ren Xuan when he was prime minister, so he was banished to Leizhou and then exiled to Zhou Mu to die. In the suggestion, the minister An Hezhang colluded with each other, and as a result, he was removed from the list and returned to the field. Is Cai Jing's younger brother, Wang Anshi's husband, and he is also in cahoots with Zhang, echoing each other. In order to take care of the minister's dignity, Hui Zong asked Cai Bian to resign himself, and then he was demoted to a secretary with less supervision. Cai Jing was impeached by the government, and was demoted to a palace for raising acupoints, and lived in Hangzhou. Then, treacherous court officials such as Lu, Wu Juhou, Xu Duo and Ye Zuqi were exiled one after another, and the court initially showed a clear atmosphere.

Hui Zong not only severely punished treacherous court officials, exorcised demons, but also hired a large number of loyal officials, and once they had them, they changed them. He just acceded to the throne for a month, he decisively appointed Han Zhongyan, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, as the official department minister. Sure enough, the magistrate was appointed as the official department minister, and the right kwai was appointed as a university student and assistant minister. All three of them are open and aboveboard, which is well known in both government and public. When the news of their appointment came out, people cheered and jumped for joy. They all thought that Hui Zong's employment was fair. Gong Ren, who was upright and upright, was appointed as an imperial envoy and stood in the temple, with Chen Guan, and Jiang, Chang, Ren, Chen Cisheng and Zhang Shunmin as his advisers. Han Zhongyan quickly put forward four principles, namely, being broad-minded, daring to speak and act, being suspicious and not using force, which was highly praised by Hui Zong. Since then, honest and outspoken people have been promoted and reused. Hui Zong also listened to Han Zhongyan's suggestion and recalled the ministers of the Yuan Dynasty. Fan Chunren, the prime minister of Zhezong Dynasty, was the son of Fan Zhongyan, a loyal minister, and was exiled to Yongzhou because of persecution by Zhang and others. When Fan Chunren, who was blind at the age of seventy, suddenly got sympathy from the new emperor Hui Zong, he was very grateful. Huizong followed him and said, "Fan Chunren, knowing each other is enough!" And appointed him as the right minister of ministers. Su Shi, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, was a prodigy, but he was always banned by villains. He was found guilty and banished to Huizhou. Hui Zong pardoned his crime and asked him to improve the opinion of Chengdu Jade Bureau and move to Changzhou. After the proposal, 23 people including Wen Yanbo, Wang, Sima Guang, Lu Dafang and Herry Liu were reinstated. Zhe Zongmeng was abolished for no reason and rehabilitated for her. Hui Zong solved these irretrievable cases one by one and restored social fairness and justice, which was unanimously praised by the ruling and opposition parties.

While reusing a large number of loyal people, Huizong issued an imperial edict in March of the third year of Fu Yuan (A.D. 1 100), which made the literati bluntly accuse the current abuses. "In the meantime, it can be adopted, and the Lord will have a reward; Everything you say is wrong and you won't be punished. " What is particularly commendable is that he kept his promise and accepted the prime minister's advice, "scrimp and save, stop construction, and suppress luck." He also accepted Jiang's advice, gave up his hobby of domesticating animals, and let all the birds out of the palace. An incident happened in Zheng He's early years, which fully reflected Hui Zong's tolerance and coachable's modesty. Right is Michael Chen's integrity and daring to speak out, which Huizong appreciated. His promotion hasn't arrived yet, so there is no need to be summoned. He entered the palace to urge Guan and Huang to spoil eunuchs, which would endanger the country. When Kan Kan talked about it, he heard that Hui Zong was hungry. Hui Zong stood up and asked him to discuss it another day. Chen He grabbed Hui Zong's clothes and sobbed. Huizong sat down again, and he was a little unhappy. When he got up to leave again, Michael Chen pushed too hard and tore off Hui Zong's clothes. Hui Zong blurted out: "Just speak slowly and break my clothes!" Michael Chen immediately replied: "Your Majesty does not hesitate to break his clothes, and I don't want to break my head and report to your Majesty!" Huizong couldn't help turning anger into joy and encouraged him to say, "If you can do this, why should I worry?" On issues involving national policies, Hui Zong also listened to opinions and promoted Fu Xiao, who obeyed the government, and Zhu Mao, who was honest in politics. Wang Huan was called to the right and commented on the view that the solar eclipse was caused by the lack of politics: "... May Your Majesty be humble and remonstrant, and whatever is right will be done; Things, whether past or present, should be taken seriously as long as they are appropriate; People don't care about their relatives or friends, as long as they are honest, they can be entrusted with important tasks. In this way, people will be convinced, the world will be the ultimate rule, and heaven will naturally bless. " Hui Zong admired Wang Huan very much and soon promoted him as a calligrapher in China.

As long as the long-standing rules and regulations are unreasonable, Hui Zong will not hesitate to abolish them. He ordered the poison stored in Ouchi to kill disrespectful ministers to be burned, and also advocated that palace buildings should not be too luxurious, which was completely different from Hui Zong, which emphasized luxury in the future.

The historical backlog of Wang Anshi's political reform is the biggest problem in Song Huizong. Zong Shen is his father, and it is understandable that he strongly supports political reform. Zhezong is his elder brother, and he inherited his throne. If he has just started to take charge of state affairs, he should not exile the old minister and be rational. In order to make a correct strategy, Hui Zong repeatedly read the memorials of his soldiers, constantly consulted people of insight, and understood the true meaning of the portal dispute: whether attacking Yuanfeng's party or Yuanfeng's party, it was not loyalty to the country, but for his own self-interest. After repeated thinking, Huizong issued an imperial edict to the whole country in the third year of Fu Yuan (A.D. 1 100), saying: "I am no different from Yuanfeng in military affairs and personnel standards. Consider whether a measure is feasible and whether the method is appropriate, only to see whether it is timely; Distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and use your own house to advance and retreat, only to see if it is reasonable. If we can ensure the safety of political affairs, talents will be in their proper places, and the world will be peaceful. Impartiality, non-partisanship, integrity and quietness are related. Is it not a good thing to take care of the overall situation and know the general situation, so that the world can recuperate and achieve what I call beauty? If you misinterpret others, have prejudice, arbitrarily change existing rules, disrupt politics and harm national interests, not only I will tolerate it, but also world public opinion will tolerate it. I will spit it out with the people of China. " A month later, Huizong was replaced by Zhong Jian Guo Jing. The so-called "neutrality" means impartiality, neither blindly following Yuan nor echoing Shao Sheng. This attitude of Hui Zong truly reflects the wisdom and mind that a wise monarch should have.

Second, Cai Jing arbitrarily confused Hui Zong.

People of insight once commented on the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty: it was a gentleman who died in the Song Dynasty, not a villain. It means that those gentlemen are fighting with each other and mutually assured destruction, so that they hand over the great rivers and mountains to the villains. After Hui Zong ascended the throne, a group of evil traitors gradually gathered around him. The most famous of them are Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Zhu and eunuchs Li Yan, Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng. They were called "Six Thieves", and Cai Jing was the first one.

In the third year, Cai Jing was a scholar in Xining, Song Shenzong. He worked as a local official in Qiantang and Zhou Shu, and then came to Liao, where he was promoted to the position of official of Chinese calligraphy, and later served as the magistrate of Kaifeng. When Sima Guang was in Song Zhezong, he wanted to completely abolish the new law and demanded that the official law be restored within five days. Under such a tight schedule, Cai Jing completed the task as scheduled and personally reported to Sima Guang in the government affairs hall. Sima Guang was very excited and praised him and said, "If everyone obeys the law like you, nothing can be successful!" After Zhezong was in power, Zhang resumed the new law, and Zhang set up a special organization to discuss the issue of changing the servant law into the exemption law, which was inconclusive for a long time. Cai Jing said: "Now is the restoration of the old system of the first emperor, not the new law. There is absolutely no need for discussion. " A word reminded Zhang that the exemption law can be restored smoothly. Historians commented on this matter, saying that in the past ten years, Sima Guang was able to run errands by Cai Jing, which showed Cai Jing's talent and Cai Jing's treachery.

Hui Zong acceded to the throne, and after Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou, he happened to pay homage to the official Tong Guan, the beneficiary of the Sect, and went to Sanwu to search for calligraphy, painting and antiques. After they got to know each other, they lived together day and night and had close contacts. Cai Jing is a talented painter, famous for his calligraphy and painting. He tried to please Tong Guan, let Tong Guan bring many of his calligraphy and paintings to the palace, and praised him in front of Hui Zong. Hui Zong was also quite gifted at that time, so he appreciated that the other party took a fancy to him. In addition, Ceng Bu strongly recommended Cai Jing to deal with Han Zhongyan, in order to attract him, and Cai Jing was promoted to the position of minister. At this time, Han Zhongyan had gone on strike, so Cai Jing made an excuse to run on Ceng Bu. In June, a strike was held in Ceng Bu. In July, Cai Jing became the right servant of Shangshu and assistant minister of Zhongshu for later use. From then on, Cai Jing monopolized state affairs.

On the second day after Cai Jing took office, he ordered the prohibition of the Yuan legal system, and set up a discussion department to focus on the specific methods and measures to restore the new law, following Wang Anshi's old law of setting up three law departments. In August, the exemption law implemented during the reign of Zhezong Shaosheng was restored. In September, with the New Deal as the staff, we intensified our efforts to crack down on Sima Guang's colleagues and exclude dissidents. He turned Sima Guang 120 people, including all those who didn't flatter him, into "Yuan party member", and asked him to write the title on a stone and erect it outside the ceremony door, which was called party member Monument. In October, Cai Bian was appointed to know the Privy Council, and the Cai Jing brothers were in charge of state affairs. This is a rare thing since the founding of the People's Republic of China in the Song Dynasty. In December, the imperial court issued an imperial edict prohibiting the practice of such heresies as Metaphysics, and books that are not sages are "forbidden by literature". This is the darkest period of politics in the Song Dynasty, and there are many taboos that scholars often violate. It is said that at that time, no matter how well the article was done, the first thing to look at was whether it was taboo. Words such as "stop fighting to help the people", "save money to enrich the people", "stop fighting" and "be honest with officials" are also broken, because the tone is similar to Yuan party member's, almost criticizing Xining's new law. By the time of Zheng He, even the words with "being" in Confucian classics were banned, such as "being the great king of Yao", "following the husband before the chaos", "defending the country" and "regretting the good fortune and moving away". Strange to say, this is because "zai" and "disaster" are homophonic, and the words "danger", "chaos", "fierceness" and "regret" are unlucky. As you can imagine, the number of prisoners who avoid trouble must be a dime a dozen. In March of the second year of Chongning, party member's children were forbidden to enter Beijing. In April, he ordered the destruction of Fan Zuyu's Tang Jian and the collected works of Su Xun, Huang Tingjian and Qin Guan. Metaphysics mainly refers to the Confucian classics of Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Er and others, so Cheng Yi, who was criticized as "deaf and stupid in strange clothes", was also excluded from the list. In August, Cai Jing personally wrote party member's name in big characters, awarded it to counties, carved stone into a monument, and stood in the supervision department and the chief executive's office.

In order to receive the first month of the third year of Chongning, Cai Jing asked for ten dollars. Since Song Jianguo, there have been 20%, 30% and 50% discount coins, but there has never been a 10% discount coin. Nowadays, casting such a large denomination of currency is no less than openly robbing the people. Cai Jing also called for the establishment of a special agency to manage the printing and circulation of paper money-Jiaozi: Jiaozi Office of Beijing Northwest Road trunk line, and formulated relevant criminal laws for counterfeiting Jiaozi. Rule: Anyone who knows, uses or hides secrets from his neighbors is guilty. Whoever makes this document privately is guilty and will be imprisoned and exiled. Soon, the government ordered all countries except Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan and Guangzhou to use another kind of paper money. The printing and circulation of a large number of banknotes caused serious inflation and seriously damaged the economic system of the Song Dynasty.

Cai Jing won the favor of Hui Zong, was in power, and was well paid. If he wants to do something, he must first draw up an imperial edict with Hui Zong's password, show it to Hui Zong, and then Huizong personally copied it, calling it an imperial edict. All officials must abide by it, and those who don't obey it will be punished for violating the system. In the early years of Zheng He, Cai Jing became an official, and Hui Zong allowed him to live in Beijing. At the end of Xuanhe, Cai Jing was 80 years old when she took the fourth photo. Hui Zong allowed him to work in a private office and went to North Korea on March 3, and wrote a letter praising him for "being loyal to the stone and safeguarding national peace". Huizong government is capricious. Although Cai Jing was often relegated, the time of reuse far exceeded the time of relegation. Hui Zong rode in a small chariot seven times without pomp. Fortunately, in Cai Jingfu, he used the gift of family, not the gift of monarch and minister.

There has been no war for decades since Shen Zongyuan was defeated in Yongle. When the treasury of the Song Dynasty was quite rich, Cai Jing began to guide Hui Zong to be extravagant. At a grand banquet in the palace, Hui Zong took out his jade collection and said, "I have long wanted to use these tableware, but I am afraid that others will say that these things are too extravagant and wasteful." Cai Jing immediately advised, "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and he deserves to enjoy the splendor of the world and be worshipped by thousands of people. What kind of jade is this? " With the encouragement of Cai Jing and others, Hui Zong stopped being fearless and indulged himself all day. To this end, the court set up the Secret Service, the command and living office, the training office and so on. To provide a full range of services for the enjoyment of royal entertainment. The left library of the imperial court was only 360,000 a month ago, but it actually reached1200,000 in Hui Zong. There are also Tang Ming, Baohe Hall, Yanfu Palace, Long live the Mountain, Jiucheng Palace and other large-scale construction projects, which are the ultimate in luxury.

Later, Hui Zong was tired of worldly pleasures, so he fantasized about becoming immortal. 1 105, gave Zhang Jiyuan, a Taoist priest in Longhushan, Xinzhou, a nickname called "Mr. Xu Jing". Later, he favored Wang Zaixi, the sum of Taoist Wang Prison, named Wang Prison as "Mr. Donghui" and Wang Zaixi as "Mr. Miao Tong" and obeyed them. Later, I especially trusted Lin Lingsu. Lin Lingsu, a native of Wenzhou, became a monk in a Buddhist temple when he was young. He was resentful because he was in charge of the master, so he converted to Buddhism and became a Taoist. He is good at reading people's minds, knows magic and dares to brag, and soon gained the respect of Zuo, an official in charge of Taoist priests in the court. After the sum of Wang Lao and Wang Zai fell out of favor in front of Hui Zong, Xu Zhichang recommended him to Hui Zong. When I first met your Majesty, Lin Lingsu said, "There are nine heavens in the sky, and the highest is the gods. Qing Yu, the God king in charge of the sky, is the eldest son of God, the immortal emperor, and is in charge of the south. This immortal emperor is none other than your majesty. Your majesty is a fairy, and he came into the world to shoulder the great responsibility of governing the world. Many people around your majesty are actually immortals from Yuqing Palace, who are responsible for helping your majesty to succeed. Cai Jing is a sage of Zuo Yuan, Wang Fu is an official, and Zhang Sheng and Wang Ge are imperial officials. Liu Guifei, your majesty's favorite, is Jiuhua Yu Zhen An Fei. " This meaningless flattery is exactly what Hui Zong wants. He was so happy that he immediately called himself "Emperor Daojun, a senior", named Lin Lingsu Mr. Tong Zhen Daling, rewarded him with many things, and built a magnificent Taoist temple for him next to the palace, named Xiao Xuan Palace on the Qing Dynasty. There are two big portraits hanging on the main hall of the palace, one is God Xiao, and the other is Jiuhua Guifei. Hui Zong often goes to the palace to listen to Lin Lingsu's sermons. In addition, Taoism is taught in accordance with the imperial examination system. If a Taoist can pass the exam, he can be appointed as a doctor and a Taoist official. Not only that, he also ordered the construction of Shen Xiao Wanshou Palace all over the country. Send it to each Taoist temple for thousands of hectares, and every Taoist can get a salary. Zong Ze, known as Ren Dengzhou, was removed from the list because he was not active and did not take prompt action in building the Wanshou Palace in Shen Xiao. With the advocacy and support of Hui Zong and Cai Jing, there are more and more apprentices following Lin Lingsu, up to 20,000. Lin Lingsu and his disciples used Hui Zong's trust and privilege to play tricks, cast spells and beg for rain in the capital, making a mess of the world.

Song Huizong instructed Cai Jing and others to restore the new law on the pretext of squeezing people's blood and sweat to meet people's endless material needs. For example, the exemption money was originally used to hire people to serve, but when they got it, they added all kinds of employment money under various excuses and forcibly collected it. The Duke of Zhou spent a total of 400 yuan in Yuanfeng, and it increased to 39,000 yuan in the first year of Zheng He (A.D.11), which was amazing. When the average tax law is restored, they increase taxes on the old amount, which is called "shrinking profits", and often a county overcharges tens of thousands. Restore the law of destroying tea, and they set up a special official sale in the tea producing area. Two years later, the official monopoly was abolished. Although tea merchants are allowed to buy tea from tea farmers, they need to pay taxes to the government after buying tea, and can only sell it after receiving the "tea guide". After the first year of Zheng He (A.D.11), the country's annual tea tax revenue reached more than 4 million yuan, of which10 million yuan was earmarked for the use of the emperor. The court also revised the law of salt banknotes, allowing businessmen to buy salt banknotes from the government first, and then sell them to Xiezhou to get salt. In order to get more benefits, the court changed the law of salt banknotes many times, which made a large number of salt banknotes that had been sold invalid and made many salt merchants go bankrupt. The amount of salt money sold was set by the court as the standard for assessing state and county officials and evaluating their political achievements, so state and county officials forced the people to buy salt door to door in order to get promoted. Tea and salt banknotes became an important economic source of the imperial court in Song Huizong period. Although Cai Jing's means of plundering the wealth of the people is very despicable, which has deeply increased the burden on the people and even brought them suffering, making them live in dire straits, Hui Zong only saw the glistening money in front of him and praised him: "This is the money that the Taishi gave me." Transfer, originally a way of paying taxes in the Song Dynasty, required the tax to be paid to a certain place, otherwise it was necessary to pay the full amount. In Hui Zong, foot money has become a fixed tax, 56 yuan per barrel, almost equivalent to the regular tax in Yuanfeng years. In order to make a job with the imperial court or for their own promotion, local governments have increased their efforts to collect various tax increases from the people in addition to regular taxes. In the west of Jiangdong and the north of Hunan, people often kill four flowers with one stone, and farmers often sell cattle and real estate without paying taxes. The heavy burden makes the people miserable. Desperate politically, he is good at this in art.

Song Huizong has a very high artistic talent, so it can be said that piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are pervasive.

Hui Zong is good at calligraphy and enjoys a high reputation in the field of calligraphy. When I first started practicing calligraphy, I learned Huang Tingjian's style, and later I learned Xue Ji's handwriting from the Tang Dynasty. He changed his style after mastering it. His original font was slender and stiff, and his strokes were slender, such as iron-painted silver hooks, and he had a great personality, calling himself thin gold. His poems "Cragginess for Worship" and "Whipping in the Morning with Wind and Frost" are both examples of Bo Jin's calligraphy.

Hui Zong's paintings are better. He is good at painting flowers and birds and landscapes, with exquisite painting skills, meticulous brushwork and luxurious colors, and is a family of his own.

The painted bird feathers are unique, especially the finishing touch. They are stained with raw lacquer, like a bean grain protruding from paper, so lifelike that they almost turn over, which is amazing. What he is best at is inkstone painting, which is the same color as coke and ink, regardless of shade, only revealing the secret white road, which is unique and wonderful. His works handed down from generation to generation include Cloud Map under the Clear Mountain, Peach Pigeon Map, Quail Narcissus Map, Four Birds Map, Snow River Returning to Mountain Map, Liuti Map, Xianglong Stone Map, Mera Hundred Birds Map, Furong Golden Rooster Map, Listening to Songs Map and so on.

He strongly advocated and rewarded the creation of calligraphy and painting, reorganized and developed the existing Hanlin Painting Academy and Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy Bureau in the early Song Dynasty, and established a series of systems. The painting academy is divided into Buddhism, figures, landscapes, birds and animals, flowers and trees, and houses and trees. Huizong wrote poems by himself, and his paintings handed down from generation to generation include: Walking flowers to remove the fragrance of horseshoes; The green branches are a little red, and the spring scenery is annoying; The wild water is uninhabited, and the boat crosses the sun; The ancient temple is hidden in the mountains; the restaurant is sold by the bamboo lock bridge; and the butterfly dreamer in Wan Li is cuckoo branches in the middle of the night. Hui Zong's paintings advocate statutes, pay attention to modeling and give full play to the painter's imagination and artistic creativity. For example, in his topic "Tender Green Branches", many candidates drew dense flower trees according to the test questions, painted them green, and carefully outlined the shapes of branches, thinking that this would meet the requirements of the topic, but they were all eliminated. A man ingeniously drew a tall pavilion. On the pavilion, there is a beautiful woman standing against the railing, with a faint rouge on her mouth. The purples on her lips are particularly eye-catching, which set each other off with the green willows next to her. With red lining green, the tender green branches are not only more vivid, but also more vibrant. Those admitted to the Painting Academy are divided into Jinshi and miscellaneous students according to their origins, and they are divided into six titles. Those who have made outstanding achievements are still sealed in the DPRK, wearing purple clothes and goldfish, and doing their best to honor and love them. At that time, there were many first-class painters and painters in the Academy. Mifei, a famous painter, is a doctor of painting and calligraphy in Hui Zong. In addition, Zhang Zeduan, who created The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, and Wang Ximeng, who created A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, are both painters of Hui Zong Painting Academy.

Hui Zong is particularly keen on collecting and collecting paintings and calligraphy works of famous people in past dynasties, and carefully sorting out, studying and publishing the collected paintings and calligraphy. According to Hui Zong's request, scholars of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy temporarily put the calligraphy works collected in the palace on stone tablets during the years of Jianzhong, Guo Jing and Daguan, and printed them as Continued Fa Tie and Daguan Taiqing Loutie. They also compiled the ancient and modern paintings and calligraphy collections into Xuanhe Pu Shu and Xuanhe Huapu, which completely and systematically recorded the paintings and calligraphy works and painters collected in the palace.

Jiangnan area has developed economy since ancient times, rich products, and exotic flowers and rocks are famous all over the world. 1 102, an artificial bureau headed by Tong Guan, a great eunuch, was set up, and exquisite craftsmen gathered in Suzhou and Hangzhou to carve, paint and paste raw materials such as teeth, antlers, rhinoceros horns, jade, gold and silver, bamboo and rattan, and produced a large number of gorgeous articles for the royal family in Hui Zong. Moreover, all the materials and labor costs used are shared by the people in the south of the Yangtze River, which greatly increases the burden on the people.

Hui Zong has a special liking for the famous flowers and rocks in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, so Cai Jing showed his kindness to Zhu Chong, a wealthy businessman in Suzhou, and his son Zhu Ren, and suggested that they collect them to show their respect for Hui Zong. At first, they secretly collected three precious boxwood trees from Zhejiang and gave them to Hui Zong. 1 105, Suzhou set up Suzhou-Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau, and Zhu was mainly responsible for purchasing exotic flowers and stones and transporting them to Beijing, which was called "Flower Stone Class". As long as the staff of Yingfeng Bureau see that there is a slight discrepancy between one flower and one stone, they will lead the troops straight into their home and seal it with yellow silk, indicating that it has been used by the court. Not only do they not pay a penny when they are transported away, but they often tear down houses and walls with large stones, which makes many people lose everything. On the Grand Canal, large ships carrying flower stones are around the clock. When there are not enough ships, the people in the bureau will intercept steel ships and merchant ships carrying food. Yingfeng Bureau once collected a stone of Taihu Lake as high as 40 feet and put it on a big ship. Only the boatman used thousands. On the way to Kaifeng, many bridges and city walls were demolished along the way to facilitate their passage. After arriving in Kaifeng, Hui Zong named this stone "Shenyun Zhao Gong Stone". Huashigang costs a lot. It takes 50 customs to transport a bamboo from Zhejiang to Kaifeng, which is equivalent to all the property of the fourth-class households at that time. The officials of Yingfeng Bureau used their power to make a windfall, drawing money from the state treasury at will, with hundreds of thousands of dollars at every turn. Zhu's personal property is countless. His staff were appointed as officials at all levels, and even his janitor became a bachelor of the Temple. Those who don't curry favor with him are likely to be fired at once.

In the fifth year of Zheng He (A.D.115), the leader of the Jurchen nationality, Yan Hong Akuta, established the Jin State and launched an attack on the Liao State, which had enslaved the ethnic group for a long time. Song Huizong accepted Zhi's suggestion to join the Song Dynasty, and sent an envoy to the State of Jin in the fifth year of Zhenghe (A.D.118) to make an agreement with the Jin people to jointly attack the State of Liao. Aguda promised to return the Han land that fell into the Liao Dynasty in the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty after the demise of the Liao Dynasty, but asked the Song Dynasty to give all the money and silk it gave to the Liao country every year after the demise of the Liao Dynasty. In the process of attacking Liao country, the Jin people forced the Song Dynasty to promise to give 1 million dollars a year in addition to 500 thousand dollars a year in the name of Yanjing renting money. In April of the fifth year of Xuanhe, the army of Nomads plundered the population of Yanjing and twenty-four counties in six states and handed over the empty city to the Song Dynasty.

In November of the seventh year of Xuanhe (A.D. 1 125), under the pretext of recruiting traitors from the Song State, Jin attacked the Song State on a large scale, and the soldiers attacked Hedong and Hebei in two ways. Tong Guan, who was in Taiyuan, sent Ma Kuo to Jin Jun's camp to negotiate, and offered to hand over Wei Yinghe and Lingqiu counties in exchange for Jin Ren's retreat. The Jin people wanted to give up the land of Hedong and Hebei in the Song Dynasty, but Tong Guan did not dare to promise. At the beginning of December, the West Road Jin Army captured Shuozhou, Wuzhou and other places and took Taiyuan directly. Tong Guan fled, Taiyuan soldiers and civilians bravely resisted 8 jin j.. East Road Jin Jun arrived at Yanshan Mansion, and Song defeated Zhang and others to escape. Song Shoujiang Guo surrendered and led the 8 Jin Army south.

The news of the fall of Yanjing reached Kaifeng, and there was great confusion between the monarch and his subjects. Hui Zong intends to abandon the country and flee to the south. He expressed firm opposition to Wu Min's performance in this matter, and suggested inviting the prince to supervise the country in order to attract heroes from all over the world. Hui Zong immediately thought that the assistant minister assisted the prince, and appointed Li Gang, who had played "Five Strategies for Imperial Capacity", to be responsible for sticking to the capital.

Eunuch Liang was ordered to guard the north bank of the Yellow River. See 8 jin j fighters came, without a fight and collapse. Jin people crossed the Yellow River by boat and headed for Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The news came that Hui Zong was determined to meditate and made Crown Prince Zhao Huan emperor on February 22nd/kloc-0, claiming to be the leader, Taoist monarch and emperor's father, and living in Longde Palace. 23, Zhao Huan acceded to the throne, named Song Qinzong, changed the country name to Jingkang.

In the first month of the first year of Jingkang (A.D.1126th), Hui Zong escaped from Kaifeng and took refuge in Zhenjiang. Qin zong, who was newly enthroned, faced a crisis and was unable to return to heaven. At that time, he was also determined to escape. Because of Li Gang's persuasion, I reluctantly left my support. 8 jin j although Enemy at the Gates, but after all, alone, and at this time his teacher has arrived, in this favorable situation, qin zong is still even more powerful, dare not resist, and in exchange for a huge amount of gold coins gold withdrawing troops. In February of the first year of Jingkang (A.D. 1 126), Jin Jun returned to the north, and the hawks immediately fell out of power.

In April, Hui Zong returned to Bianjing. Just when the ruling clique in the Northern Song Dynasty thought it was possible to enjoy peace again, in the same year, the Jin army went south again and captured Bianjing. Huidi and Qin became the prisoners of Jurchen.

After receiving the news that Hui Zong will be sent to the north in a few days, he led the queen and kings to look at the ancestral temple in the city and cry bitterly. On March 29th, Hui Zong went to Liu Jia Temple to meet Prince Jin Wangzong in the ox cart that imperial secretary usually rides, and was driven by nomads from the army. Hui Zong and his party set out from Liu Jia Temple, and lived in a tent with the escorted 8 Jin J generals in the evening. The emissary accompanying the Empress of the Song Dynasty kept a close eye on the tent. When we arrived in Zhou Xun, people knew that Huizong, who had been deposed, had sent gifts such as baked wheat cakes and lotus roots.

During the long escort, Jin people deliberately embarrassed the deposed son of heaven. On April 28th, Hui Zong and his party came to Zhongshan House. Hui Zong, a gold man, shouted Song Bing's surrender. Hui Zong did not dare to disobey and shouted at the gate: "I told the emperor that you are going to Di Chin, so you can come out." Shoujiang wept bitterly in the city and refused to serve a letter.

In September of the second year of Jingkang, Jin people sent their father and son to Zhongjing for fear of losing their bargaining chips with the Song side because of the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are more than 1000 households in Huizong and more than 100 households in Qinzong, and the expenses are huge. Moreover, the Jin people did not distribute food and clothing on time, and their lives were embarrassed and went from bad to worse. In July of the second year of Jian Yan (A.D. 1 128), Hui and Qin and his party set off again and arrived in Beijing on August 21st. On 24th, Jin Taizong invited Qin back to the ancestral temple, which was actually a gift of taking prisoners to humiliate the monarch and his subjects in the Northern Song Dynasty. Nomads from the army forced Hui and Qin to take off their robes, while others ordered them to take off their coats, tie wool and felt strips around their waist, and go to the temple to hold their clothes. Then, they forced Hui and Qin to enter the Royal Village to visit Taizong. Emperor Taizong of Jin rode first with the princes, followed by five white flags, which read "capture the second emperor of Song Dynasty", "capture the second queen of Song Dynasty", "capture the wife of Zhao Kou, the slave", "capture the king of Song Dynasty" and "capture the family of Song Dynasty". The prisoners of the Song Dynasty all dressed up as Jin people and knelt down to listen to the Jin people read the letter. On the 25th, Emperor Taizong of Jin made Huizong faithful to the public and Qin zong faithful to the public. In July (AD 1 130), the Jin people sent back and sent Qin to China. When he arrived in Wu Guocheng, Jin Taizong asked him to meet his six daughters, all of whom were betrothed to the Taizong family as wives. Hui Zong was so grateful that he kowtowed to Jin Taizong with two tables of banquets, boasting that Jin Taizong "made great efforts to make it difficult to pay for it", but he also vowed that he was "deeply humiliated, made the province effective, was a god, and dared to reach out to bandits. "

In June of the third year of Shaoxing (A.D. 1 133), Zhao He, the fifteenth son of Shaoxing, and a captain attached to Ma, in order to change their difficult situation and gain the trust of the Jin people, reported to the emperor's father that he was going to rebel. Kim sent two messengers to ask and asked to go to the court. After repeated entreaties, Jin talents were allowed to avoid. Since then, Huizong has become more and more reticent.

On April 21st, the fifth year of Shaoxing (A.D. 1 135), Hui Zong, who was exhausted, could not afford to be ill at the age of 54.
