"All the treacherous officials of the entire dynasty have gathered together. Just how out of place is this Song Huizong?”
Li Shi Min found it hard to believe.
Just one treacherous official could cause chaos in the court and make the people miserable.
These six treacherous officials…I don't believe that the Northern Song Dynasty won't be destroyed!
Ying Zheng frowned. He could understand the rest, but... how could he fake the imperial edict?!
What kind of chaos did the Northern Song Dynasty's institutions have to be in for such a thing as a fake imperial edict to happen?
One had to know that even someone as vicious as Liang Yi who poisoned the Young Emperor to death, or someone as powerful as Yan Song who did not attend court in the 20th year of Jiajing, they could not fake an imperial edict.
This was a big taboo!
What kind of ruler should he be, what kind of court system should he have, yet he didn't even discover such an important matter?!
On the contrary, the old hooligan Liu Bang smacked his lips, shook his head and said,
"Tsk, he's indeed a fatuous ruler. However, if that's all, he shouldn't be considered the number one fatuous ruler, right?”
"It's only been 20 years since the people's resentment was stirred up. Then wouldn't the Qin Dynasty fall in three years be much stronger than the Song Huizong?”
"Just wait and see. This is only the first point. There should be a second point behind it.”
"If I'm not wrong, the second point is the key!”
Southern Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei looked at the screen and felt a little emotional.
If Emperor Huizong of Song had listened to his suggestion, he would not have suffered the humiliation of Jingkang.
Right Prime Minister Li Gang was also not calm.
Back then, he was the one who suggested that Emperor Huizong of Song abdicate.
However, he did not expect Emperor Qinzong to be an indecisive person. When the Jin soldiers were at the city gates, he was appointed as the Right Prime Minister and was in charge of Kaifeng's defense.
After the Jin Dynasty troops were repelled, they saw that they could not attack, so they began to lure the enemy.
And then!
He had actually been dismissed!
If it wasn't for the soldiers and commoners of Kaifeng, the imperial court might have really listened to the Jin Dynasty and surrendered.
Under the pressure of the Kaifeng soldiers and civilians, he was reinstated and was once again in charge of the city's defense.
The Jin soldiers saw that there was no way to take advantage of the situation and withdrew their troops.
What he did not expect was that when Emperor Qinzong of Song saw that the Jin Dynasty had withdrawn its troops, under the slanderous words of the treacherous officials, he actually dismissed him from his official position and even casually fabricated a crime to demote him to the southwest.
But unexpectedly…
After he attacked the southwest, the Jin Dynasty actually led their troops to surround Kaifeng again.
After panicking, Emperor Qinzong of Song re-conferred the title on him.
However, it was too late.
Li Gang shook his head. When he received the imperial edict, he had already arrived in Changsha. Kaifeng had already fallen.
It could only be said that this was fate.
If Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty did not listen to the slanderous words of the treacherous officials, if he was only dismissed from office and not demoted, even if he was imprisoned in Kaifeng, he would have time to set up the city defense after he was granted the title.
Unfortunately, Song Qinzong and the group of treacherous officials chose the most ridiculous one.
A thousand miles away!
The second point!
It was also the reason why Emperor Huizong of Song became the most fatuous ruler in history.
Shame on Jingkang!
In the various dynasties, some people subconsciously raised their eyebrows.
Ying Zheng frowned.
"I remember that when the High Heavens was taking stock of Qin Hui, they mentioned a poem that mentioned the shame of Jingkang, right?”
Feng Quji cupped his hands and smiled.
"Your Majesty is wise."
" When the heavens were taking stock of Qin Hui, they mentioned General Yue Fei. The poem he wrote was 'The shame of Jingkang has yet to be avenged.””
Ying Zheng nodded." I'd like to see how shameful Jingkang is.”
Shame on Jingkang?
The old hooligan Liu Bang scratched his head." Speaking of which, I also have the shame of being a white horse. Could it be that I've also become a fatuous ruler?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was expressionless.
Ever since Yu the Great established the country, there had never been a history of emperors and ministers being captured, and concubines and princesses being humiliated!
Even the chaotic Nanbei Chao wouldn't have so many nobles captured.
Just based on this point, the reputation of Emperor Huizong of Song as a fatuous ruler was well-deserved!
In 1126 AD, the Jin army went south. Emperor Huizong of Song panicked and passed the throne to his son Zhao Huan, who was Emperor Qinzong of Song.
In 1126, Jin soldiers surrounded Kaifeng, and Emperor Qinzong of Song ordered Li Gang, the right prime minister, to preside over the city defense to deal with the enemy attack.
Under Li Gang's leadership, the Jin soldiers were repelled one after another.
Seeing that they couldn't take it down, the generals of the Jin army used a strategy to lure the enemy. As long as they paid enough money and rewards, and became their subjects, they would retreat.
Thus, they believed him!
Song Qinzong actually believed the slanderous words of a treacherous official!
Therefore, he dismissed Li Gang. Under the urging of the treacherous officials and the request of the Jin soldiers, he sent Li Meng to the Jin soldiers 'camp to negotiate.
Righteous peace terms: five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, ten thousand cattle and horses, one million pieces of silk and satin, respectfully address the Jin Emperor as uncle, cede Taiyuan, Zhongshan, Hejian three towns, send prime ministers and princes to the Jin camp as hostages.
Li Meng was so scared that he didn't even refute such an appalling clause.
Li Gang insisted that Kaifeng's city walls and soldiers 'rations were enough to stop the Jin soldiers' attack. However, Zhao Huan agreed on the surface, but Li Gang agreed to the Jin soldiers 'request the moment he left.
In order to fulfill the terms, Emperor Qinzong of Song ordered the capital to be plundered as much as possible, making every family uneasy and everyone frightened. The whole city was in chaos, and the government and the people were noisy.
While Song Qinzong was plundering, more than 200,000 Song soldiers had already arrived nearby to help the emperor.
Under Li Gang's command, the Song soldiers and the Jin soldiers fought each other.
The Jin soldiers saw that the Song soldiers were increasing and retreated.
However, not long after the Jin Dynasty withdrew their troops, Zhao Huan dismissed Li Gang and demoted him!
