If you were Song Huizong, what would you do to avoid being destroyed?

If you travel to the Song Dynasty and unfortunately become Song Huizong Zhao Ji (of course, this is impossible), to avoid the "Jingkang shame", I think you should first not have anything to do with Li Shishi, and Li Shishi Since it doesn't matter, there is no need to dig tunnels in the palace. If you dig tunnels every day, you can be upright when entering and leaving the palace. When the emperor is upright, the ministers below will not engage in intrigues, the court will be clear, and the officials will be clear. Once the court and officials are clear, they will not make the heroes of Liangshan (such as Yan Qing) jealous. As they compete for beauties and then the world, the relationship between the court and the people will ease a lot, and peace will not be far away. In this way, then There will be nothing wrong in the world, let alone the "shame of Jingkang".

Of course, the above are some jokes, let’s get back to the topic. Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty was the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty. When he was reviewing whether he (then King Duan) could become emperor, his grandmother asked the Queen Mother for their opinions. The prime minister at the time, Zhang Dun, pointed out unceremoniously: "Prince Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world." This shows that when Song Huizong was in Qidian, he had a playful and frivolous personality. People with such a frivolous personality would often get into trouble if they took on important responsibilities in the world.

Song Huizong was fond of playing, and he loved to play with all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and all kinds of rare birds and beasts. He especially likes to study calligraphy and painting, and is a cutting-edge master in this area. However, when time and energy are spent on these fun activities, where is the time and energy for governing the country? Political affairs naturally fell into disuse.

At the same time, Song Huizong not only loved playing, but also devoted the entire country to helping him play. After he became the emperor, he did not regard the world as his own responsibility, but regarded the world as his "play". He used the supreme power in his hands to mobilize the officials of the world to search for treasures for him to satisfy his instant happiness, and used state weapons to provide Own fun and materialistic services. For example, he spent a huge sum of money to build the most famous royal garden, called Genyue, which condensed all the country's scenic spots and historic sites, such as Dongting, Hukou, Erchuan, Three Gorges, Gusu, and Jingchu, into this place, just like the Northern Song Dynasty. "Window to the World".

In order to transport exotic flowers and stones to the capital, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty launched the "Flower and Stone Gang" campaign. He also recruited countless ships from all over the country and transported them to Kaifeng through canals. He also set up the "Yingfeng Bureau" in Suzhou and plundered the wealthy places in the south of the Yangtze River, causing many people to lose their families and their families. This was the key reason for the civil uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

As for the most significant event that accelerated the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the implementation of the wrong strategy of "alliance with Jin to destroy Liao". A dandy and flamboyant emperor would often do some ridiculous things. Song Huizong only knew how to play on weekdays, but one day he suddenly had a whim and wanted to take back the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" that the Liao Kingdom had seized.

At that time, the Jin Kingdom was attacking the Liao Kingdom. Song Huizong arranged for a special envoy to detour to the Bohai Sea, try to get in touch with the Jin Kingdom, and negotiate with the Jin Kingdom to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom. After discussion, it was decided that the Song and Jin Dynasties would attack the Liao Kingdom. , the Song army was responsible for attacking the area south of the Great Wall of the Liao Kingdom, and the Jin army was responsible for attacking the area north of the Great Wall. After the demise of the Liao Dynasty, the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" returned to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty transferred the annual coins originally paid to the Liao Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom. Known as the "Sea Alliance" in history. Later, the Liao Kingdom was indeed destroyed. However, a wolf was killed and a tiger was caught. As soon as the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the iron hooves of the Jin Kingdom set foot on the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and soon the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, which is known as the "Shame of Jingkang" in history.

Based on what Song Huizong did when he was emperor, if he wanted to avoid the "shame of Jingkang", all he had to do was to be down-to-earth, work diligently and love the people, develop the economy, improve the military level, and strengthen with internal cultivation national power. Externally, we must stick to the "Chanyuan Alliance" signed with the Liao Kingdom, do not tear up the alliance easily, continue to maintain friendship with the Liao Kingdom, and maintain the power of the three kingdoms of Song, Liao, and Jin. Between the Song and Jin, there is the Liao Kingdom. , the wolf might not be able to come, at least not so quickly. In this way, the national destiny of the Song Dynasty must be different, at least there will not be such a shame as the "Jingkang Shame"!
