The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival in China. On this ancient day, every household in China would erect a statue of Zhong Kui, hang up mugwort leaves and calamus, drink realgar wine, swim through various diseases, put on sachets and prepare sacrifices. So all this is not to commemorate Qu Yuan or Wu Zixu, but to ward off evil spirits for superstitious purposes. Because in the pre-Qin era, it was generally believed that May was a poisonous month and the fifth was an evil day. Meeting on May 5th is definitely a super unlucky day, just like westerners think that13rd is Friday. For example, in the chapter "A Midsummer Story" in Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, it is expressly stipulated that people should abstain from sex, fast and live an ascetic life for a whole month in May. For example, the chapter of "Dai Li" says "livestock take a blue bath on May 5th". As the fifth day of May is an unlucky day, people born on this day must be unlucky. For example, Meng Changjun, one of the four famous sons of the Warring States in history, was born on the fifth day of May, so his father asked his mother not to have him, thinking that "children born in May are worse than parents." Wang Zhene, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born on the fifth day of May, and his grandfather named him Xie Zhen. Judging from the experience of the above two people in the future, it is sheer nonsense to say that the Dragon Boat Festival is the evil day of the poisonous moon, but for another historical celebrity born on this day, the Dragon Boat Festival has actually become an unlucky day, and the whole Song Dynasty is unlucky. The emperor is Song Huizong Xu Huixin.
Song Huizong was born on May 5th, so his father Song Shenzong sent him to foster care outside the palace to get rid of his bad luck. Neither my mother let me fall asleep nor my father taught me to speak. You can imagine how painful Song Huizong's childhood was. When he grew up, he was taken back to the palace. As the eleventh son of Shinto, according to common sense, the throne will never reach him unless all the eleven brothers in front of him are dead. However, I wonder if his luck is too bad. My brother Song Zhezong died when he was young. After some scheming, the Queen Mother asked him to take over the Song Dynasty and become the eighth emperor. In order to keep his bad luck away from himself, the emperor born in the year of the dog ordered the whole country not to eat dog meat as soon as he ascended the throne, so delicious dog meat was removed from the table of the people in the Song Dynasty. Besides, he lied with his eyes open, insisting that he was born on 10/0, and he was not afraid of being called a freak by future generations, and stayed in the womb for fifteen months.
As the saying goes, "women are afraid of marrying the wrong person, and men are afraid of entering the wrong line." Even the best occupation in ancient times, Emperor 3354, is equally applicable. For example, Ming Xizong was born as a carpenter, and Chen Tiansheng was a master of writing poems with generic names, but both of them became emperors. As a result, they either messed up the country or lost their land and wives. Song Huizong also has this problem. When it comes to poetry and songs, graceful words are written directly after Li Qingzhao. When it comes to calligraphy, regular script and cursive script are even more important, creating their own "slim body". When it comes to ink painting, landscapes, figures, flowers and birds and ink bamboo are all a piece of cake. If Song Huizong had not been emperor, it is estimated that he would have become a famous China scholar in history of qing dynasty. However, he entered the wrong line and became emperor, which he shouldn't have done.
During his reign, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Emperor Wen of Sui and other traitors presided over the court affairs, plundered the wealth of the people and led a luxurious and dissolute life. Establish an article production bureau for the exclusive use of the royal family. They searched around for exotic flowers and stones and transported them to Kaifeng, called "Flower Stone Class", and built Yanfu Palace and Genyue. He believes in Taoism, claiming to be "the first Taoist monarch, the emperor", building a big temple, setting up 26 officials, and paying the Taoist priests. After many twists and turns, finally, the uprising led by Fang La and Song Jiang broke out. Although it was suppressed, the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty was irreversible. In the second year of Emperor Xuandi, he sent envoys to make an agreement with the rulers to attack Liao. In the seventh year of the Emperor, namely11October 25, the Eighth Jinbei Army invaded the south on a large scale, and the East Route Army led by Guo, the commander of the Eighth Jinbei Army, took Bianjing directly. After receiving the report, Song Huizong hastily ordered the revocation of Hua Shigang, and went to a "confession" to admit some of his mistakes, in order to save people's hearts. Nomads from the army marched in haste, approaching Bianjing. Hui Zong was afraid and anxious. He took the minister's hand and said, "I didn't expect Jin people to treat me like this." Words didn't say that finish, one breath blocked the throat, fainted in front of the bed. After being awakened, he reached for a pen and paper and wrote the words "Pass on the Crown Prince". In February 65438, he announced his abdication, claiming to be "the emperor's father" and giving way to Zhao Huan. With thieves such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan, they fled to Mengcheng, Bozhou, Anhui Province under the pretext of burning incense.
In April of the following year, nomads from the siege of Bianjing was repelled by Li Gang, and Song Huizong returned to Bianjing. In 1126, at the end of November, nomads from south again. 65438+ February 65438+ May, Bianjing was breached, Di Chin abolished Song Huizong, and Zhao Huan was Shu Ren. At the end of March/127, Hui Di, Qin Shihuang, his empresses, the royal family and thousands of officials were escorted, as well as musicians, skilled craftsmen, French drivers, robes, ritual vessels, astronomical instruments, treasures and toys, royal books, maps of world capitals and so on. Go north. Bianjing's public and private savings were looted and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. So it happened in Jingkang period, which is called "the shame of Jingkang" in history. It is said that when Song Huizong heard that the treasure was looted, he didn't care. He sighed when he heard that the royal books were also robbed. On the way to be escorted, Song Huizong was humiliated. First, the love princess Wang Wanrong was forcibly taken away by Jinjiang.
When passing Yanshan Mansion, Song Huizong happened to meet his birthday, Dragon Boat Festival. However, what he received was not a birthday cake from Xu Jin, but a humiliation. Dragon Boat Festival is a grand event of shooting willows and playing polo in Jinzhou. Song Huizong was invited to watch the polo match. Who knows, after watching the polo match of the officers and men of 8 Jin Army, Marshal 8 Jin Army asked Song Huizong to write a famous poem. Song Huizong had to write: "The brocade horse is divided into tents, and the little stars are rushing. If you win the first prize, you must go straight and dial in through the oblique door, in no particular order. "
In Song Huizong's poems, "crossing the gate" and "slanting the gate" are both terms in the field of polo. If you want to win the first prize, you must fight for the ball with a big killer, not sneak attack. The implied meaning in poetry needs mutual understanding. It's sad that the emperor who likes to watch women play polo ended up like this. Later, after arriving in the capital Xujin, Song Huizong was ordered to wear mourning clothes with Zhao Huan and visit the temple in Gudas, Jin Taizu, which meant that Di Chin provided prisoners to his ancestors. Later, Song Huizong was humiliated by Di Chin as Hundehou, imprisoned in Hangzhou, and then moved to Wu Guocheng for imprisonment. During his imprisonment, Song Huizong suffered mental torture and wrote many poems of regret, sadness and desolation, one of which read:
Zephyr shook the door all night, leaning against the lamp and feeling depressed.
The twelfth letter of the English alphabet.
However, Song Huizong is a bad king after all, and his regret is bound to be discounted. He always lamented that "all countries in the world were made mistakes by ministers", and he didn't realize that his fatuous luxury led to the end of national subjugation and became a prisoner. 11In July of 27, Cao Xun, a courtier who sent him, sneaked into the Southern Song Dynasty from Jin. Before he left, he gave him a vest he was wearing. The vest said, "Come and save your parents." Song Huizong showed these words to the courtiers around him, and all the princes cried. Song Huizong cried and exhorted Cao Xun, remembering to tell Emperor Gaozong: "Don't forget the pain of my northward journey." He took out a white handkerchief and wiped his tears, then gave it to Cao Xun, saying, "Let the emperor know that I miss my motherland and cry bitterly." Song Huizong was imprisoned for nine years. 11On Jiazi Day in April, 35, he finally died of mental torture in Wu Guocheng. Jin Xizong buried him in Guangning, Henan. 11In August of' 42, Song and Jin transported the remains back to Lin 'an and buried them in Yu Ling.
