What was the real reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty? Is this entirely the responsibility of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong?

Qin Hui was the king who destroyed the country in the Northern Song Dynasty. The two emperors never did anything serious in their lives. During their reign, they did a lot of ridiculous things back and forth. Not to mention bringing disaster to the country and people, but also making a lot of jokes. Finally, the reason for the country's demise and the moment before the country's demise, these two people also did many things that normal people find difficult to understand. Therefore, Qin Hui's case is the root cause of Jingkang's shame, but it's really not an exaggeration. 90% and 90% of the reasons for the real demise of the Northern Song Dynasty are due to the responsibility of these two emperors.

Song Huizong was originally Song Zhezong's younger brother. According to the principle of succession to the throne, it is not Song Huizong's turn, but helplessness. Song Zhezong has no sons, so these brothers in Song Zhezong are all on the list of candidates. Just after Song Zhezong's death, the Queen Mother, Prime Minister Zhang Dun and ministers held a "King James Meeting" to decide who would hold the post internally.

Zhang Dun, the prime minister, initially proposed that Jane be elected, but there was a downside, that is, he told the Queen Mother that he would not have children, and Song Zhezong and Jane were born to the same mother. If the two brothers became emperors one after another, he was afraid that he would lose his position, so he did not agree.

Later, Zhang Dun proposed to apply to be king. Unfortunately, the king had an eye disease, and the ministers and the queen mother didn't agree, so they told the queen mother. Otherwise, who is the king? Duan is king. The Queen Mother decided, and the courtiers were embarrassed to say anything, but Zhang Dun really didn't like Duan Wang very much, and added, Duan Wang is frivolous and can't rule the world. Whether or not, Premier Zhang Can can be said to have a unique eye, and he is really accurate in judging people.

In fact, Song Huizong worked hard in the early days and was willing to accept others' opinions with an open mind. Hearing his ministers say that the emperor wants to be frugal, they are really frugal. Why was Song Huizong honest and serious at the beginning of his succession? In fact, it was mainly because the ministers at that time were also quite good. In addition, Song Huizong, who was in the early stage of his leadership, was full of vigor, ideals and ambitions, and wanted to make a difference.

However, Song Huizong is a scholar after all, so almost all people who like to associate with him are scholars. Cai Jing, the first traitor in the Northern Song Dynasty, happened to be a gifted scholar deeply loved by Song Huizong. Literati like things with high taste and pursue art. Since they are art, they all burn money. At the instigation of Cai Jing, Song Huizong began to build large-scale buildings, spent huge sums of money, changed past frugality, and started the road of unbridled profligacy. Cai Jing was also called the most greedy prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty by historical data, and he was also called "the six thieves" with Tong Guan and others. Cai Jing is the first of the six thieves.

Cai Jing has gone on strike. Who will be the prime minister without Cai Jing? This man's name is Wang Fu, but Wang Fu is a villain who even wants to spit on Cai. After Wang Fu came to power, he didn't do anything serious with Song Huizong every day. They get along like buddies, and try their best to induce Song Huizong to thank the disgraceful things, such as climbing over the wall and leaving the palace. Moreover, Wang Fu led Song Huizong to do this, and Wang Fu also paid the Jedi responsibility for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

There is another person in Song Huizong's heart, a familiar name, and that is Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu's greatest guidance to Song Huizong is that he likes to show the emperor around the kiln. Song Huizong himself is the emperor, with 3,000 horses, but he still feels that it is not enough. He occasionally goes out to find prostitutes, the most famous of which is Li Shishi, a famous prostitute in Bianjing.

In fact, Song Huizong also knew that he was an emperor, so he always went out to find prostitutes. This is counterintuitive and unpleasant to say. It's a pity, so Song Huizong also likes this Li Shishi, so he is very upset. At this time, the palace gave Song Huizong a plan to let Song Huizong dig a tunnel, a tunnel from the royal compound to Li Shishi's house. Is it funny? Isn't this interesting?

After watching the civil servants, look at the military commanders. During the reign of Song Huizong, who was the first person to lead troops to fight? It's Tong Guan. What did Tong Guan do before he became a general? He is a eunuch. Serious emperors don't need eunuchs to fight. As a result, the battle of Tong Guan was nothing, but putting money in your pocket was a top ten. Judging from Song Huizong's vision of employing people, it can be seen that there will be no good result in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At that time, Song Huizong had a hobby of collecting strange stones and trees. Because the countries that collect these stones and wood have also spent a lot of money, and they have collected them for almost 20 years. In the process of transporting these stones and wood, many people died, many ships sank, many bridges were demolished, and even many doors were torn off. When corrupt officials accept these things, they will tear down people's houses, and when they have no money, they will squeeze people's money, so there is the famous "Fang La Uprising".

Song Huizong used these stone trees to build a garden in Beijing. Because Song Huizong was superstitious, a Taoist told Song Huizong that he should raise the north side of the palace so that his descendants could prosper. Then he picked up a park and raised it. Say the park is wrong. It should be called a zoo, because Song Huizong still keeps many strange animals in it. So the scene in Beijing at that time was like this. Outside, people are poor, can't eat, and cry in pain. There are rare animals in it, doing nothing and howling everywhere.

Later, because Song Huizong listened to the slanderers of the villains and imagined that he could recover sixteen states, he agreed to the plan to merge Liao and Xu. After World War I, Xu Jinguo thoroughly saw the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then Xu Jinguo turned to attack the Northern Song Dynasty. At this moment, Song Huizong was frightened directly, never had the ambition to recover sixteen states, and just wanted to escape.

However, as an emperor, how can Song Huizong's people escape and defend his territory for him? So ministers wouldn't let him go, but at that time, Song Huizong was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He had to go anyway. He definitely didn't want to stay in Bianjing any more, so he finally had no choice but to abdicate to his son Zhao Huan, later Song Qinzong.

In fact, Zhao Huan didn't want to be emperor at that time, and his attitude was very firm, that is, he was resolute and improper. For this reason, I cried myself several times, saying that what I said was inappropriate and I just didn't do it. As a result, ministers finally put the yellow robe on Zhao Huan and carried it directly to Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan fainted directly. Later, Zhao Huan completed the ceremony of succession in a coma.

In fact, when Song Qinzong was in power, the Northern Song Dynasty was already dying. Song Huizong has been collecting stones and wood for more than 20 years, and the "six thieves" have been in power for decades. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was rotten to the bone, and there was no hope. So I can't beat it. What makes Song Qinzong better than Song Huizong is that Song Qinzong is very capable of handling this situation and has no incredible illusions. During the reign of Song Qinzong, he didn't do so many outrageous things like his father, nor did he do anything that wasted people and money. How can I put it? It's not that Song Qinzong didn't want to, mainly because this condition was no longer available in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But Song Qinzong is, after all, the son of Song Huizong, and there is one biggest similarity between father and son, namely superstition. Just when 8 Jin Jun Budweiser was in Bianjing, because there were few Jin Jun soldiers at that time, it only covered the north and south sides. At this time, Song Qinzong didn't want to break through and fight, but he listened to the rumors of the devil's road. A demon named Guo Jing told Song Qinzong that he wanted to boast. As a result, as soon as this diabolical method was practiced, the city gate opened, and 8 Jin J was worried about how to get in. You opened the door yourself, and as a result, 8 Jin Jun entered the city so easily, and Bianjing fell.

The two cases of Qin Hui were famous emperors who were relegated in history, but in fact, from a historical point of view, Hui Zong was an out-and-out bad king, a complete disaster to the country and people, and a sinner overthrown in the Northern Song Dynasty. In fact, Song Huizong did too many stupid things during his reign, but due to the limited space, it was really endless. The direct cause of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was Song Huizong's superstition. After more than 20 years of construction, he appointed a traitor to be in power. In addition, Song Qinzong fought directly, without using the devil's way. Really, even if he gave them prosperity, it would be doomed.
