Filial Piety

In less than three years, in fact, only one year later, Zhao Xing issued an edict to abdicate, elevating himself to the second emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and letting his son become the emperor...

Death is not the end. First of all, the doctors are unlucky, and they all beat boards and exiled. Secondly, the money warehouse is unlucky. The entire trauma of the sealing warehouse is not enough to bleed. Then 700,000 yuan of money tickets are printed for a while, so it is enough to send the emperor. The people are unlucky, and they urgently build a tomb for Zhao Gou, spending nearly one million yuan. These are all added to the people near Yongsiling, Kuaiji County, Shaoxing Prefecture, and even the food of the construction workers is included. The inspectors from the palace "each meal is 400 kilograms of mutton, which is particularly difficult to deal with, such as the frog movements that require dozens of kilograms" and so on... Zhao Gou's wife, Empress Dowager Wu, was still unhappy. Because the team at the funeral was not gorgeous enough, the old woman was furious, "I only use four people to carry the board after I was a hundred years old." Zhao Shen was ashamed and wanted to carry the coffin himself...

On the 9th, Wei Pu was appointed as the envoy to the Jin Kingdom to express his grief.

On the 14th, Emperor Xiaozong of Song issued an edict, "I will be declining for three years, and my ministers will obey the order of Yiyue." You Mao submitted a memorial, deciding that Zhao Gou's temple name was Song Gaozong. Hanlin scholar Hong Mai cited the example of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, thinking that Zhao Gou should be called Song Shizu like Liu Xiu. You Mao, Yan Shilu and others all opposed the "School of the ancestral temple system: the ancestors have merits and the ancestral virtues. Taizu created great achievements and was called ancestors. Taizong unified China and was called Zong. However, from Zhenzong to Qinzong, seven emperors all called Zong. The temple system was certain and it was not easy for generations. If my son was the ancestor of Shizu and his father was Huizong, wasn't it a loss of the preface of Zhaomu? Some people just took the example of Guangwu of the Han Dynasty as an example. But this is different. Liu Xiu was the descendant of the King of Changsha, and he was born into a commoner. He had no inheritance relationship with Emperor Ai and Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty, so he could be called the ancestor. Although my Supreme Emperor was the king of Zhongxing, he was the same as Liu Xiu. However, he actually inherited the orthodox Huizong. He took his son as a father, and he was different from Liu Xiu's self-made commoner. If he insisted on calling him ancestor, he might be uneasy in the sky. "The final decision: Zhao Gou's temple name was Emperor Gaozong of Song.

On the 18th, the ministers submitted five letters to ask Emperor Xiaozong of Song to come to the court to follow the government. On the 19th, Emperor Xiaozong of Song issued an edict to obey his request. On the 1st, Emperor Xiaozong of Song went to court in filial piety clothes and appointed Yan Shilu as the messenger of the Jin Dynasty.

On November, Song Xiaozong first used a white cloth and robe to listen to political affairs in Yanhe Palace, and ordered the Crown Prince Zhao Dun to participate in the general affairs. The attendant Yang Wanli wrote a letter to the crown prince to oppose it. The crown prince was frightened. On the other day, Zhao Dun resigned three times and was not approved.

On the 4th, on the 7th day after Zhao Gou died, all officials took off their filial piety clothes and Song Xiaozong went to Deshou Palace to pay tribute. On the 7th, the ministers submitted three letters in a row, asking Song Xiaozong to follow the court.

On January 1, Jin Shizong issued an edict: The Jurchens were forbidden from changing their Han surnames and wearing Han wardrobes, and those who commit crimes were punished.

On January 7, the 15th year of Chunxi (1188), the Jin Dynasty sent Fucha Kezhong as the Song Dynasty envoy.

On the 9th, Emperor Xiaozong of Song issued an edict, "The crown prince has not been involved in the finals for a long time, and he has known the feelings of foreign things. Since now, he has been in the palace court, and ordered the crown prince to stand up." So You Mao quietly came to find the crown prince Zhao Dun, "Where is great power, the world is fighting for the world, there is nothing to be afraid of. I hope that your highness will do nothing big and small, and then do nothing to do when he takes the imperial edict. If the feelings are not strong, then the public will be decided. The position of the crown prince is only for serving the meal and greetings, and does not deal with foreign affairs. If the army is tutored or the country is supervised, there are many expedient measures. If the power is different, the movement will be hindered."

On the 1st of the month, Fucha Kezhong came to the Song court and saluted the body of Emperor Gaozong of Song in Deshou Hall. Later, he met Emperor Xiaozong of Song in the Su Banner of Dongying. Afterwards, Jing Tong was ordered to go on an envoy to the Jin Kingdom to answer the ceremony.

On the 7th, Yan Shilu bid farewell from the Jin Kingdom and returned south. Wanyan Yong selected 5 jade pieces, 0 glass pieces, and some bows and swords from the Zhao Gou relics he brought, and asked Yan Shilu to take them back. "These are treasures of the late emperor of your country. They should be treasured by your country, so that they can never forget to pursue them. If I accept them now, I will be unbearable."

On the 1st of the month, the 1st of the Spring Festival, Jin Shizong held a banquet in the Shenlong Hall. The kings, princesses, and ministers came forward to celebrate their birthdays one after another. While 66-year-old Wanyan Yong was happy, he still did not forget the importance of the country's foundation and the endless trust of the world. He sincerely warned his crown prince Wanyan Jing to cultivate one's own virtue and ordered his disciple Shan Kening to be loyal and assisted. Afterwards, Wanyan Yong sang himself, and Wanyan Jing and disciple Shan Kening got along with him, and he was very happy.

On the 0th, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, was officially buried in Yongsi Mausoleum.

On April 17, Jin Shizong issued an edict: Establish the Jurchen Taixue and cultivate the children of Jurchen nobles.

This month, the ministers still submitted memorials, asking the emperor to remove filial piety clothes in time according to the ancient system of the "Li Jing" of the Sun and the Moon, and to follow the court to follow the court. Song Xiaozong still insisted on obeying the mourning for the past three years. Chen Liang submitted a memorial to ask Song Xiaozong to restart the plan for restoration, but at this time Zhao Xing was determined to say everything else after the "father" had been obeyed for the mourning for the past three years. The ministers in the court accused Chen Liang of being a crazy and weird person.

On May 1, Jing Tong arrived in the Jin Dynasty and insisted on the withdrawal of the banquet. Kang Yuanbi, the envoy of the suburbs of the Great Jin Dynasty, felt that there was no precedent and dared not agree. So Jing Tong asked not to withdraw the banquet, but the drum and music must be removed! Now our country is during the national mourning period. I came as the envoy of Song, how could I enjoy it? The two sides had a long dispute. Finally, Jin Shizong sighed, "This is really a direct minister of the Southern Dynasties. Okay! Removal of the drum and music." On June 7, Jing Tong returned to China. Song Xiaozong was very pleased that "Dong was firm and unwilling to listen to music. This is commendable. The scholars and officials were in the regular state, so who would not agree to their integrity? Anyone who could not change in danger? Jing Tong can be promoted to two levels." Prime Minister Zhou Bida said, "Promotion and increase the rank, this is a common example. Jing Tong is a strange minister, please give your majesty a special reward." Zhao Ling said, "Yes! Jing Tong is the current Mao Sui." So Jing Tong was promoted to the acting minister of the Ministry of Works.

This month, Prime Minister Zhou Bida recommended the hypocrite Zhu Xi as the envoy of the West Road of Jiangnan. Zhu Xi was ordered to enter the court, and his friends specifically reminded him that "the emperor does not like to listen to the theory of sincerity and correctness. You should not say this now." The hypocrite replied, "What I have learned in my life is these four words (the most famous slogan of Neo-Confucianism: investigating things, attaining knowledge, sincerity, correcting one's heart, cultivating one's self-management, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world). How dare you deceive the king?" So when he entered the court, Zhu Xi still talked about Neo-Confucianism, which was to preserve the principles of heaven and destroy human desires.

Emperor Xiaozong did not argue that "I haven't seen you for a long time, you're old. I already know the matter of Zhejiang East. Now it seems that you are suitable for the position of Qing Dynasty. I dare not bother with the prefectures and counties anymore." So he appointed Zhu Xi as a military officer. The hypocrite immediately said: I have a sick foot and cannot be this official. Lin Li, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was not in line with Zhu Xi, so he took the opportunity to impeach Zhu Xi, saying that this person entitled to the famous Taoism and had a high value. Since he said that his feet were sick, then he would be fine and should not give him any official! It is a warning for those who think that serving the king is rude!

Zhou Bida immediately came out to smooth things out for the hypocrite. "Xi did have foot disease and barely got in the right way, so he dared to deceive the king." Xue Shu liked, Ye Shi and a large group of people also said good things about this hypocrite. The Censor Hu Jinchen even wrote a memorial to impeach Lin Li. So on July 5, Lin Li was kicked out of the court and served as the governor of Quanzhou. As for the hypocrite Zhu Xi, you can go to take charge of a palace temple!

On the 8th, Zhao Yu, the Prince of Enping, who had competed for the position of crown prince with Zhao Sheng, passed away. Song Xiaozong, who was naturally friendly, has always been very kind to this competitor: Zhao Yu gave him countless money during his lifetime. After Zhao Yu died, he posthumously signed a letter to the king.

On August 1, Jin Shizong said to the minister of the prime minister, "I heard that Wudikai has been disobedient recently? If he sends an envoy to question and he may defend it, he will cause trouble on the border. I have thought that attracting people from afar will be of no benefit to the country. If he comes, he will listen to it, and he will not come or force it. The previous policy of restraint was the first to be detained." On the 1st, Jin Shizong said to the minister of the prime minister, "The way to use people should be used in his prime. If he is detained with qualifications, then when he can use it, the talents will be old. In the future, you should recommend them as soon as possible."

On November 5, Song Xiaozong warned the Crown Prince Zhao Dun, "The number of kindnesses should not be overwhelmed. In the future, the Empress Dowager's 80th birthday is similar to my 70th birthday. If the kindness is too generous, then how many officials will be added out of thin air! Therefore, the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration is enough to express gratitude to the officials in this hall."

On the 7th, Jin Shizong reburied his cousin, Jin Xizong Wanyan Ban, in Emei Valley, and his tomb was still called Siling.

On January 14, Jin Shizong Wanyan Yong began to get sick. On the 19th, the Jin Dynasty issued a general amnesty order. On the 4th, Wanyan Yong issued an edict: the regent of the crown prince Wanyan Jing. On the 5th, the sub-prime minister Shan Kening was appointed as the left prime minister and the minister of the minister, Wanyan Xiang was appointed as the right prime minister, Zhang Rulin was appointed as the political affairs of Pingzhang, and Liu Wei was appointed as the chief minister. On the 7th, the sub-prime minister Shan Kening, Wanyan Xiang, and Zhang Rulin were appointed as the imperial edict and stayed in the inner hall.

This month, Emperor Xiaozong of Song summoned the hypocrite Zhu Xi again. This time Zhu Xi never came, but wrote a memorial, "Your Majesty has six urgent tasks now: assisting the prince, selecting ministers, promoting principles and stability, changing customs, loving people's strength, and cultivating common affairs. All these six things cannot be slowed down, but it is mainly due to Your Majesty's heart. If you have a right mind, then all six things will be correct. One person's heart is in the middle of his heart, and even if he wants to work hard to correct his husband's six things, he will be the only one who wants to do his best to do the work of the husband. Stationery, and the affairs of the world are more and more unscrupulous." It was already late at night when this memorial was sent to the palace. Song Xiaozong, who had already been sleeping, got up immediately and read at night with candles. The next day, Zhao Xing issued an edict: Appoint Zhu Xi to be in charge of Taiyi Palace and Chongzheng Palace to tell stories. The hypocrite refused to go to work again. Humph! What do you want to do? Threat me and let me give you a greater official? Neo-Confucianists are indeed a group of shameless hypocrites! Zhu Xi, you should still be in charge of a palace temple!

On January 16th year of Chunxi (1189), the 67-year-old Jin Shizong Wanyan Yong died in Fu'an Palace. The crown prince Wanyan Jing, who was said to be the reincarnated emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu and Song Huizong Zhao Ji, inherited the throne by the will.

Wanyan Yong died, and the Jin Dynasty he left behind was stable. It completely eliminated the shadow brought by Wanyan Liang's failure in the southern invasion. The national strength gradually recovered, and it was pulled out of the quagmire of Wanyan Liang's continuous capital and forced southern expeditions. The politics was also considered clear-headed. There was no major purge that occurred frequently, major bloodshed incidents occurred, and even the rapidly degenerating Jurchen culture was strengthened... In short, he seemed unable to do better! Shi Pian "The monarch was reigned for twenty-eight years, and he talked well from the north and the south, rested with the people. He was frugal, respected filial piety and brotherhood, believed in rewards and punishments, and valued agriculture and sedimentary affairs. The ministers served their duties, stayed with each other, had enough family, had enough granaries, and the Ministry of Justice punished the crimes, and there were no more than 0 people. The country was called Xiao Yao and Shun."

During the Dading period of Emperor Shizong of Jin, there was a prosperous era, but there was a question that historians of all generations did not understand: Why are there so many riots and rebellions in "The Annals of Emperor Shizong of Jin"? It is said that there should not be riots every year in prosperous times, right? Regarding this issue, the Qing Dynasty historian Zhao Yi gave a speculative explanation in his "Notes on Twenty-Two Histories": "The nine kings of the Jin Dynasty were the most virtuous. However, there were many rebellions in more than 20 years. In the Taoist world, there were many people who were chaotic and chaotic. Why? How could Shizong comprehensively investigate the administration of officials. Anyone with treacherous officials and officials dare not hide, so he reported many complaints? He tried to win the credit for his contribution, so he made the most of them, so he did not do the heavy work to see that he was diligent in official affairs."

Turning his eyes to the Southern Song Dynasty: Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty Zhao Shen also immediately announced his abdication and became the Supreme Emperor. As for why? The Southern Song Dynasty officials have various explanations...

As for age, Zhao Shen was 6 years old at this time. In addition to his dead "father" Zhao Gou, this was already the second-ranked senior emperor in the Song Dynasty! And the profound and profound way of "filial piety" is incredible, and it will extend to the dead!

Who said that filial piety to living people is the ultimate "filial piety"? It is considered to be true to their ancestors! One of them is that their descendants should maintain enough respect for their past ancestors and be humble everywhere. Don't live longer than their ancestors and live better! Especially in terms of work performance, you must not surpass them! The actual example is that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, who had been in power for 60 years. He was determined to be the Supreme Emperor, because he must not surpass his grandfather and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty! In the Song Dynasty, Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty Zhao Shen was a famous representative! He was really embarrassed to live longer than his ancestors, especially to work alive!

In fact, these are all fake! The real reason is in the north! Wanyan Yong died, and Wanyan Jing, who succeeded to the throne, was his grandson. According to the terms of peace talks between the Longxing of the Song and Jin Dynasties, Zhao Shen had to call Uncle Wanyan Yong. At this time, Wanyan Jing ascended the throne, and of course his uncle's title had to be continued... Wanyan Jing is this year!

6-year-old Zhao Shen called his uncle, Wanyan Jing? And this uncle is still the grandson of the uncle before? If this continues, how much has Zhao Shen's seniority declined? Is it unbearable! You should know that Zhao Shen has a super self-esteem that he is unwilling to accept even the etiquette of books, so how could he accept such a humiliating status! So, he had no choice but to give up the throne to his son and hide in the old house of Wangxianqiao where Zhao Gou once lived to live...

It is unexpected and reasonable to avoid the world and abdicate in this way. It is actually nothing to think about it. Anyway, the hot blood that had been hot many years ago has long been calm and calm, so why bother to suffer and suffer at this high position? Even the descendants were dragged to seventy years old, and they would have become old men when they naturally ascended the throne.

On the 5th, Huang Qia, the head of the Privy Council, was dismissed. On the 8th, Zhou Bida was appointed as the left prime minister, Liu Zheng was appointed as the right prime minister, Wang Lin was appointed as the chief political affairs, Ge Bi was appointed as the chief minister of the Privy Council, and Xiao Sui, the head of the principal minister of the Privy Council, and Quan was appointed as the chief minister of the Privy Council.

On the 15th, Zhao Gou's wife, Empress Dowager Wu, moved to Cifu Palace. She gave up Deshou Palace and lived with Zhao Xing, who was ready to abdicate at any time.

On the 0th, Zhao Xing summoned Prime Minister Zhou Bida and others, "I have been tired and diligent recently. I want to abdicate to the crown prince for ten days and recuperate so that I can submit to the mourning for three years. You can draft abdication edict for me."

On the 8th, Deshou Palace was renamed Chonghua Palace.

On the 1st of the month, Cai Jie was appointed as the Minister of the Left Secretary. Zhao Xing was really diligent! Just the day before his abdication, he was still appointing officials.
