Chapter 431: Unfilial Song Guangzong and Chengzhi Jin Zhangzong
Great Jin Dynasty - King Sejong
Before Wanyan Yong could recover from the joy of extending his life, he was already sweating coldly at the prospect of the Jin Dynasty!
"Grassland Tribe!?"

"That's not right! Hasn't the Mongol Empire been destroyed by the combined efforts of the Jin and Tatar tribes?"

“Who is the chief of the grassland tribe today?”

Zhang Xuansu also had a serious expression on his face and answered:

"Your Majesty, since Yesugei's death, Mongolia has been in a state of division."

"Nowadays, there is no leader."

It’s hard to find a leader without one!

……

[On the second day of the first lunar month in 1186, Jin Shizong died of illness. Because the crown prince had died of illness the previous year, he ordered the crown prince's son Wanyan Jing to ascend the throne, known in history as Jin Zhangzong.]

[In 1187, Emperor Gaozong of Song died. Emperor Xiaozong of Song wanted to abdicate and finish the three-year mourning period, but was dissuaded by court officials.]

[In 1189, Emperor Xiaozong of Song passed the throne to Crown Prince Zhao Dun and became the Supreme Emperor. He was known in history as Emperor Guangzong of Song.]

……

{Here it comes, the balance between evil and positive energy is broken!}
{Xiaozong, if it really doesn't work, you can find someone else!}
{With an unfilial son and an unvirtuous daughter-in-law, Emperor Xiaozong of Song abdicated the throne in vain.}
{Same as Liu Yilong, the second emperor of Liu Song. Same failure in the Northern Expedition, same loving father and filial son.}
{Then he met Emperor Zhangzong of Jin.}
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che tucked his sleeves into his pockets and looked at the sky.

"From what he said, it seems that Emperor Jinzhang is stronger than Emperor Guangzong?"

But Huo Qubing didn't care about this.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Mongolian is not someone you can easily deal with."

Scratching his back, Liu Che said helplessly:
"Not only that, judging from the situation, I'm afraid that both Jin and Song were destroyed by the Mongols."

"The Hu people have taken over the Central Plains again."

……

【After Zhao Dun ascended the throne, Empress Li interfered in government affairs. 】

【Empress Li was fiercely jealous, and Zhao Dun was afraid of her. Because she had a heart disease, she often did not attend court, and most political affairs were decided by Empress Li. Empress Li became increasingly arrogant.】

……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian looked straight ahead, cleared his throat and said:
"Heart disease? How can a madman be the emperor?"

"I really don't know what Song Xiaozong is thinking!"

Dugu Jialuo glanced at him sideways.

He snorted softly.

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi's face drooped, looking unhappy.

I always feel like it's implying something about me.

……

Song Zhenzong period
Zhao Heng picked up the jade cup in front of him and took a sip of wine.

Awkward...it seems that he set the precedent of ruling from behind the scenes in the Song Dynasty.

But he is really in poor health!

……

[Empress Li and her close followers alienated the father-son relationship between Emperor Xiaozong and Emperor Guangzong, saying that Emperor Xiaozong intended to depose and enthronize the emperor.]

【Zhao Dun believed it and stopped going to the regular visits.】

[This attitude, which was completely different from that of Emperor Xiaozong of Song towards Emperor Gaozong of Song, made the ministers dissatisfied.]

[In June 1194, Song Xiaozong died of illness in Chonghua Palace at the age of . His mausoleum is called Yongfuling.]

[Before his death, Emperor Xiaozong wanted to see Zhao Dun very much and looked around many times. Zhao Dun "could not go to the palace to see him because he was ill, and people were more afraid of him." ]

[After Emperor Xiaozong died, the ministers repeatedly pleaded with Zhao Dun to take charge of the funeral, but Zhao Dun still "could not personally take charge of the funeral."]

【Finally, Xiaozong's funeral was presided over by Empress Wu of Song Gaozong, who was also the Grand Empress Dowager.】

【When Emperor Xiaozong of Song died, Zhao Dun did not leave the palace to hold the ceremony, causing great discussion among the officials at home and abroad. Prime Minister Zhao Ruyu and official Han Tuozhou petitioned Empress Dowager Wu, who then supported the crown prince, Prince Jia Zhao Kuo, as Emperor Ningzong of Song, and honored Emperor Guangzong as the Supreme Emperor.】

【Han Tuozhou was the fifth-generation grandson of Han Qi, a famous official of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was also an external relative of the Song Dynasty. After Emperor Ningzong of Song Dynasty established his empress, he entered and left the palace and took charge of the affairs.】

[Soon Han Tuozhou excluded Zhao Ruyu and seized power himself, and factional struggles in the court followed.]

……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
For a moment, Liu Bingyi was speechless!

There are so many things to say that I am blocked from speaking.

The emperor was deposed and enthroned by ministers...what about Huo Guang!
And you Song Dynasty...

Liu Bingyi fell backwards, feeling quite helpless.

Can you do something serious?

……

Yanhan·Mingdi period
"Unfilial son!"

Liu Zhuang slammed the wooden stick hard on the ground!

His beard fluttered with anger.

"Song Xiaozong is really...unlucky and unlucky!"

...Yanhan and Lingdi Period
Liu Hong counted on his fingers.

"Powerful officials, factional struggles, and relatives by marriage."

"Ouch!"

He looked up at the sky and grinned:

"All the elements of a country's demise are present!"

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan glanced up at the sky and then looked to the side.

Covering his forehead, he said tiredly:
"That stubborn guy over there! Stop writing!"

Li Shimin seemed not to hear anything and continued writing with his brush moving like a dragon!

Li Jiancheng, who was standing next to him, had a smile on his face.

Li Yuan sighed and wrapped himself in the quilt.

"I'm old and annoying."

"My sons have grown up."

"Alas, your mother died early, and I have put all my efforts into raising you."

"What a pity! If Pingyang were still here..."

The quilt was pulled over the head and crying sounds came out from under the quilt.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin with a squint and nodded to the side.

"You caused the trouble yourself, so you have to deal with it yourself."

Li Shimin suddenly felt that the pen in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"If I had known, I would have stepped down just now!"

……

[The Song Dynasty was in a mess, but the Jin Dynasty had relatively clear political situation.]

【Jin Zhangzong received a dual education in Jurchen culture and Han culture since childhood.】

[He upheld the Jurchen tradition and was the most Sinicized monarch among the Jin emperors. The Sinicization of the Jin was finally completed during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong.]

【Respect Confucius and make him respected in the Jin Dynasty as much as in the Song Dynasty.】

【Improving the imperial examination system. The Jin Dynasty's imperial examination system was complete from the time of Emperor Zhangzong. 】

【In order to improve the ritual system, Jin Shizong ordered officials to refer to the evolution of Tang and Song dynasties and discuss rituals and music. At the same time, the Jin Dynasty began to worship the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu, indicating that it inherited the Han Dynasty. 】

……

Northern Wei Dynasty, period of Emperor Xiaowen

Tuoba Hong looked at this series of actions and became more and more confused.

"Shangwen?"

I don't know if it will be useless, but he also said that the Chinese translation has been completed.

It seems that culture is valued over martial arts!

and so……

Is the Jin Dynasty a replica of the Northern Song Dynasty?

Tuoba Hong took a breath of cold air!
This moment, just like that moment?!

……

Datang.

Li Shimin leaned on the pillow, looking at the sky thoughtfully.

"Gentlemen, we need to discuss this."

“How to maintain the moral integrity while not losing the martial spirit.”

……

【At the same time, Jin Zhangzong also caused the Jin Dynasty to transform from a nomadic state to an empire. 】

【Abolish slavery, limit Jurchen privileges, protect agricultural products, and allow intermarriage between Han and Tibetan peoples.】

【The Mingchang and Cheng'an years of Emperor Zhangzong of Jin were the heyday of the social economy of the Jin Dynasty. 】

[The number of households in the country reached its peak in the history of the Jin Dynasty in the seventh year of Taihe (1207): households and people.]

[Tax revenue also reached the highest figure in Jin history during the reign of Jin Zhangzong.]

[The "Jin History·Zhangzong Ji" praised: "Zhangzong reigned for twenty years. He inherited the long period of peace and prosperity of Shizong, and the country was prosperous. He rectified rituals and music, revised the criminal law, and established the official system. The laws and cultural relics became the governing rules of the era."]

[However, as the Jurchens became more and more sinicized, their former brave and fierce spirit gradually disappeared.]

【Jin Zhangzong also began to be content with the status quo, pursued luxury, built many palaces, and favored Li's daughter. 】

[This eventually led to the interference of foreign relatives in government affairs, which caused the Jin Dynasty to experience severe political turmoil after his death and accelerated the process of decline.]

……

Great Jin Dynasty - King Sejong
Wanyan Yong had some understanding of what ups and downs meant, and was extremely surprised and delighted!

This household has more than one million more than mine!
When will the population of the Jurchens exceed 40 million? It will be half of the population during the Kaiyuan Prosperity!

Then, you started to learn from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, right?
