At that time, his career of resisting gold had lasted for more than ten years. Not long ago, the gold standard was finally broken in Yancheng and Yingchang, and Liang Xing was forced to cross the Yellow River by the Ministry, making a pledge of loyalty to the rebels of the Song Dynasty in China. At that time, the two rivers responded, and Luo Jing fell into chaos. Yue Fei thought it wouldn't be long before he went straight to Huanglong to see the North Second Saint.
A seven-foot man who has been eager to make contributions and serve the country since he was a teenager, how can he calm down in the face of such great achievements through the ages?

It was at this dusk that Yue Fei wrote his famous song "Man Jiang Hong" in the pavilion whose name could not be verified. Yue Fei counted the impassioned words of "thirty fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons" between the lines, and then wrote with great sadness: "Jingkang shame, it is still snowing; When did the courtiers hate it? "
For everyone who has experienced the change of Jingkang, 1 127 will be their eternal pain. A barbarian who just walked out of the old forest in Northeast China ended the barbaric custom of "father's dead wife is mother, brother's dead wife is sister-in-law". Tens of thousands of people marched and destroyed the Northern Song Empire, which enjoyed the country for more than a hundred years. Saint Qin Zong and Emperor Taizong were both captured by barbarians. The pain and heaviness of this great change was a heavy and depressing shadow in the hearts of agriculture, industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty.
Every major historical event, someone must bear the responsibility, not to mention the demise of an empire and the opening of a troubled Pandora's box. Walking into the shame of Jingkang, I vaguely saw a few looming faces. In their time, these faces were of noble descent and were the top successful people in that society. But as it happens, the board of history should also hit their noble ass.
1. Xu Huixin: Emperor who loves elegance.
Sometimes, we can remember the past historical era, not because we are familiar with that history, but because of one or several people living in that era. In other words, some people's life is to let future generations take him as a symbol and remember his time.
Song Huizong is such a symbol. Unfortunately, this symbol is a pillar of shame.
As if it were a hint, in the year of Three Hundred Poems of Song Dynasty, which had a great influence on later generations, Song Huizong was the first poet at the beginning. This seems to remind us that this grave digger in the Northern Song Dynasty is also an excellent poet and artist.
Song Huizong, named Xu Huixin. As the king of national subjugation, he must bear the main leadership responsibility for the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty Empire. However, as the previous historians expressed their doubts and feelings: "The reason for losing the country is not Hui Jin's stupidity, Sun Hao's violence, or Cao and Ma's usurpation of power." Yes, compared with Jin Huidi and Sun Hao, the king of national subjugation, Xu Huixin is neither as stupid nor as cruel and bloody as they are. When he was in office, there were no powerful ministers like Cao Cao and Sima family standing by the sword. Arguably, he cannot constitute the elements of national subjugation.
But he is dead after all, so we can only find the reason from him again. Finally, Tuotuo, the author of History of the Song Dynasty and the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, concluded: "I especially rely on his personal intelligence, but my heart is biased and I reject honest people. I am close to derailment. " -a little clever, but not in business, but people are not valued, and the wicked are high in the temple. Can't you say this weakness is not serious?
Although it is unofficial history, once you consider that sometimes unofficial history is more credible than the official history, you may be able to glimpse the artist and emperor Xu Huixin:
"Butler, brilliant, eloquent, a group of shepherds, good at painting ink bamboo, can wave the book of Xue Ji, the book of three religions, the method of Xiao Jiuyuan. Happy dusk, vaguely Jiange Wang Shumeng; I like cups as if I liked the late Chen Jinling. Meet on a moonlit night and announce Tong Guan and Cai Jing; Good timing, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian. 13 steps to the imperial city, no songs and no music every day. Shoushan and Yue are all over Bao _ Palace, full of exotic flowers and plants, exotic animals and rocks, and rare birds and animals. Carving beams and painting buildings, tall buildings stand tall and pavilions are invincible. Tens of thousands of civil servants, from the capital of song dynasty to Suzhou and Hangzhou, end to end, the people died of hard work. Plus locusts every year, famine every year, a kilo of gold, a bucket of millet, people who eat without skin, or people who eat easily. Sung river 36 people, coax states rob county, Fang La thirteen kou, set fire to. The emperor has no worries. "

Captured by Jurchen cavalry, Xu Huixin wrote two famous words, one of which recalled his luxurious life as early as when he was emperor:
"Yujing once recalled yesterday's bustling China, the imperial home of Wan Li. Qiongyu Temple has a stringed pipe early and a shengpa late. Huacheng people go to this bleak place, and the spring dream is around the lake and sand. Where are you at home? Listen to the Qiang flute playing plum blossoms. "
In essence, Xu Huixin not only has a strong artistic temperament, but also is a first-class artist. One of his paintings, The Legacy of the Great Song Dynasty, sold for 23.5 million RMB last year, which is the highest price of Chinese painting and can be used as evidence.
Xu Huixin loves art, romance, fantasy, women, poetry and wine. But if we look at the history of China, we will find a shocking discovery. Most emperors who have made great achievements in art will bring disastrous consequences to the country and his people. Literati are emperors, and few are invincible. The reason is that governing the country needs rationality, and rationality is beyond the poet's control.
Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of Xu Huixin, once lamented after destroying Li Yu, the monarch who wrote lyrics: "If Li Yu is dedicated to governing the country, where will he become my prisoner?" After the destruction of Meng Chang, the monarch of Shu, who was famous for establishing Furong City, a chamber pot used by Meng Chang was found among the trophies, which was inlaid with various gems. Zhao Kuangyin smashed it to pieces with a hammer and sighed, "Strange, it is so luxurious that it won't die." .
History is often surprisingly similar. Ancestor Zhao Kuangyin lamented two things. Unexpectedly, more than one hundred years later, they were repeated on his descendant Xu Huixin.
Xu Huixin's artistic talent is beyond doubt. He is good at poetry writing. He learned from Xue Ji's calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, created a slimming method, and achieved unparalleled painting achievements. During his reign, he set up a special Royal Painting Academy, and painters enjoyed considerable treatment, which led to the emergence of the court painting school in the history of China painting.
At the same time, due to his scholar-bureaucrat spirit, Xu Huixin has a strong interest in plants and flowers. Shi said: "When I was here, I only liked reading and drawing, which was very meticulous. What I like is ancient things and stones, which are different from kings. "
It is not a bad thing for a person to have a hobby, especially an artistic hobby. If Xu Huixin was not the only emperor in the world, his achievements would be envied by later artists. Unfortunately, fate arranged for this artistic genius to become emperor.
"The king of Chu has a thin waist and many people starve to death in the palace." As the son of heaven, any of his hobbies may bring him unexpected consequences, not to mention confusing his hobbies with managing the world like Xu Huixin?
First of all, Xu Huixin chose courtiers not because of their ability and political integrity, but because of their own interests. Cai Jing is a first-class calligrapher. Xu Huixin even knew that he was a traitor, from liking his works to reusing his people. But for the common good, he forgave him again and again. This is incredible.
As for Gao Qiu, his appreciation for being good at playing balloons rose from bankrupt to autumn, which made all scholars in the world feel chilling. Although it is a novelist's story, it also provides us with some imaginable details.
"Gao Qiu had to try to flatter the king. In that state, the balloon seems to stick to the body. Duan Daxi was willing to let Gao Qiu go home and spent the night in the palace. Besides, Duan Wang has been eating in the palace since he had Gao Qiu. From then on, Gao Qiu became king and followed him every day, never leaving his side. However, less than two months after entering the palace, Zhezong arrived without a prince. After consulting with civil and military officials, Wang Duan was appointed as the son of heaven and Hui Zong as the emperor. This man is the leader of Jade Qing, Emperor Miao Daojun. After he ascended the throne, he always had nothing to do. Suddenly one day, I said to Gao Qiu,' I want to compliment you, but you have to do some sideline work to get promoted. Teach the Privy Council to be famous with you first, just be a person who moves with you. "After half a year, I flattered Gao Qiu and made him a captain of Shuaifu Temple."

Secondly, readers must remember the protagonist Yang Zhi in The Painted Skin, who was originally a descendant of Yang Jiye, a great hero in the Song Dynasty. Because of the accident of escorting Hua Shigang, the road of life is getting narrower and narrower. Later, I had to become an outlaw in Liangshan as a loyal minister and join the rebels.
The so-called petrochemical gang is an ominous thing in the Xu Huixin era. In the fourth year of Chongning, Xu Huixin ordered the establishment of Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which was responsible for collecting exotic flowers and stones in the south of the Yangtze River and transporting them to the capital of the Song Dynasty in Tokyo through the Grand Canal and the Bianhe River. These ships are continuous, with ten ships as a class, which is called "Huashiban".
There is nothing wrong with being the king of a country if you just transport some flowers, trees and stones. However, once this imperial leisure becomes a major function of the government through the state machine, the consequences will be more serious than most of us can imagine. The official in charge of Huashigang is called Zhu CuO. Under his serious and responsible work, "every scholar's home is a bit fishy, that is, leading a healthy soldier straight into his home, sealing it with yellow, referring to it as a matter of command and making it look after." If he is not careful, he will be accused of being very disrespectful. Also, it will be removed from the century-old wall of the house. Unfortunately, there is a small difference between people, which is commonly known as ominous, for fear that it is not far away. "
The greatest skill of traitors is to make good use of the spirit from the upper class, and then use it as an excuse and opportunity to legally frame others and seek benefits. Zhu CuO is naturally an expert in this field. When he was looking for flowers and stones in the south of the Yangtze River, he once took a fancy to a gentleman who had a huge sum of money but little political power, claiming that a stone or potted flower in their house had been taken a fancy to by the holy family and would be requisitioned.
After that, he won't take the stone or flower in a hurry, but will wait for a while. It is estimated that the stone or flowers and trees are slightly different from the original shape-for example, if the flowers are gone and the stone is covered with moss by rain, then he will ask for it in the name of immediate needs. Its purpose is to accuse the host family of poor care, resulting in the loss of royal things, which is a great disrespect for the present sacred objects. The master I know can only eat money to avoid disaster, and Zhu Xu's income also comes from this.
