"Shortly after arriving in Zhenjiang, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty issued three orders to the southeast government in the name of the travel envoy and the delivery envoy: First, the government in the southeast is not allowed to send any official documents to Bianliang City, and all officials in these areas are ordered Listen to his instructions. The second is not to allow the troops stationed in the southeast to go to Tokyo King Qin, and to intercept the [-] Liangzhe King Qin soldiers who passed by Zhenjiang as their own guards. The third is not to allow any southeast to send to Tokyo Materials are required to be strictly observed at the crossings and crossings, and no permits issued by the camp will be allowed to pass through.”

"Song Huizong repaired the palace in Zhenjiang, transplanted flowers and bamboos, and bought gardens. But he didn't have much money on hand. In addition to relying on the support of Zhenjiang government, he also wrote letters to the governments of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, asking them to also provide financial support. However, He has abdicated after all, so his demands have been resisted from time to time by local officials."

"Because Song Huizong was surrounded by some old ministers, especially Tong Guan who still held an army, and Song Huizong issued several orders in Zhenjiang, it aroused the suspicion of the local government and the imperial court, thinking that Song Huizong was going to restore Zhenjiang. "

"Song Qinzong issued several decrees to counteract Song Huizong's order, and the father and son were separated. After the Jin people retreated, Song Huizong did not dare to return to Tokyo. He wanted to live in Luoyang with Cai You. Later, Li Gang came forward to persuade him. Cai You also persuaded Empress Zheng and Song Huizong to return to Tokyo one after another."

"Li Gang wanted Song Huizong and Song Qinzong's father and son to behave like gentlemen, and the father was kind and the son was filial, leaving a good story, but Song Qinzong finally adopted the suggestion of his close minister Geng Nanzhong, and made the servants Chen Sigong, Xiao Dao, Li Cong, Zhang Jiandao and other ten people were demoted in parallel, not allowed to enter, and those who dared to stay were beheaded! Eunuchs Wang Still and Deng Wengao were also deposed on the charge of "attempting to separate the two palaces and spreading false intentions", and ordered the Kaifeng government to interrogate the eunuch Liang Xin and others At the same time, Song Qinzong placed his trusted Tan Shiji and Li Xijing in charge of Longde Palace. Since then, Song Huizong has been completely under house arrest by Song Qinzong, unable to interfere in politics. In addition, Song Qinzong quickly established other The eldest son, Zhao Chen, is the crown prince."

"It is said that on Song Huizong's birthday, Song Qinzong led a group of ministers to Longde Palace to pay respects to Song Huizong. Song Huizong was very happy and drank a full glass, and then poured another glass for Song Qinzong to drink. But Geng Nanzhong reminded Song Qinzong to prevent drinking Poisonous. Therefore, Song Qinzong firmly resigned, not daring to drink and retreat. Seeing this, Song Huizong cried and entered the palace. The next day, Song Qinzong ordered the yellow list to be placed in front of Longde Palace. Qian Guan, white body to make up for Cheng Xinlang. ", since then, the two palaces have no contact..."

Hearing this, Li Yan was filled with emotions, but at the same time he was vigilant!
Prior to this, Li Yan had been thinking about whether he would retire at the age of 60 or [-], pass his position to Li Cun, and then take his beauties to find a beautiful place to retire.

Now it seems that if you want to squint your eyes, don't be wise for most of your life, and then be put under house arrest by your own son when you grow old.

Thinking of this, Li Yan said in his heart: "I have to be very careful about passing on the throne."

Liang Hongyu continued: "Song Qinzong made a big liquidation of Song Huizong's officials.

First of all, all properties of Wang Fu and Li Yan were seized, and then Nie Shan was ordered to secretly execute Wang Fu and Li Yan.

After that, Song Qinzong demoted Liang Shicheng to the deputy envoy of the Changhua Army Jiedu, ordered Liang Shicheng to be executed on the way, and then confiscated Liang Shicheng's family property.

As early as the third day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty had punished Zhu Miao by "returning him to the field". Later, he ordered people to search Zhu Miao's family property and secretly executed Zhu Miao.

Soon after Song Huizong returned to Tokyo and lived in Longde Palace, Song Qinzong decreed that Cai Jing be moved to Hengzhou;

Later, Song Qinzong successively decreed that Cai Jing was first exiled from Gongzhou to Henan Prefecture, then from Henan Prefecture to De'an Prefecture, from De'an Prefecture to Hengzhou, from Hengzhou to Shaozhou, and from Shaozhou to Danzhou. In Tanzhou, Cai Jing couldn't bear the toss, and died of exhaustion in Tanzhou.

On the issue of how to deal with Cai Jing, the ministers of the Song Dynasty were in dispute. Li Gang, Wu Min and others held opposing opinions. They believed that it was unfair to deal with Cai Jing in this way. The crimes were all unreasonable. Cai Jing had a disciple named Lu Chuanbian, who came forward to collect money to bury Cai Jing, and wrote an epitaph for Cai Jing.

(Tianbao is the reign title of Emperor Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty, and Yao Chong and Song Jing were virtuous ministers during Tianbao's reign. The superficial meaning of this sentence is that Yao and Song could be blamed for the Anlushan rebellion in Tianbao's last year? The implication is that , when Cai Jing was prime minister, the world was also in prosperity. At that time, Cai Jing was called "Prime Minister of Peace". Later, the Jin army invaded and caused national disasters. How can Cai Jing be held accountable?).

Six days after Cai Jing died of illness, the courtiers collectively impeached Tong Guan, and Song Qinzong decreed that Tong Guan be beheaded in the Xiongzhou Embassy.

Cai You was also bestowed to death by Song Qinzong. Before his death, Cai You had a last word, "I have wronged the country so far, and I have more than enough to die, so why regret it!"

Not only the so-called six thieves were liquidated by Song Qinzong, but all the ministers who participated in the recovery of Yanyun were liquidated by Song Qinzong, such as Tan Zhen was exiled to Zhaozhou, Wang Anzhong was exiled to Xiangzhou, and Zhao Liangsi was executed in Chenzhou..."

Hearing this, Li Yan said sarcastically: "This Zhao Huan is not capable, but his heart is cruel enough."

indeed!

No matter how you say it, Zhao Ji is also Zhao Huan's father, but he was put under house arrest by Zhao Huan. I am afraid that if he is not afraid of leaving a bad name that will never be washed away, Zhao Ji will definitely be killed by Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan was able to successfully become the emperor, thanks to Liang Shicheng who escorted him all the way, the reason why Liang Shicheng did not escape was also because of this, but Zhao Huan didn't care about executing Liang Shicheng just a few months after he became emperor.

Zhao Ji did not go to Luoyang but returned to Bianliang, Tokyo, which had a lot to do with Cai You's persuasion, but Zhao Huan gave Cai You death without even thinking about it.

It can be described as a model of ruthlessness.

In Li Yan's view, Zhao Huan would never be a good emperor even if there were no Jin men invading.

An emperor can be ruthless, and he must be ruthless, but if he is ruthless, he must be ruthless to outsiders, and he must be lenient to those who are loyal to him and who are not a threat to him, otherwise he will definitely betray his relatives.

In fact, later Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were plundered by the Jin people, and the ministers sided with Zhao Ji one after another, and Zhao Huan finally became a real loner.

That's right.

What Li Yan looked down on the most was Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, and even felt that he was inferior to his father Zhao Ji.

Zhao Huan had only been on the throne for a few months, and even changed more than 20 ministers. Some important strategies of saving the country of these ministers were not adopted by Zhao Huan, and some important strategies to harm the country were all adopted by Zhao Huan. adoption.

Therefore, in Li Yan's view, if the Northern Song Dynasty perished, [-]% would perish to Zhao Ji, and [-]% would perish to Zhao Huan.
