Chapter 68: Song Huizong was a tyrant, but his Slender Gold script was really beautiful
Li Ranran scrolled down and suddenly saw a beautiful calligraphy piece.
【 Song Huizong's thin gold style is really amazing. 】
(After AI played the video title, the words of Emperor Huizong of Song slowly appeared along with the music.)
＜ If Song Huizong Zhao Ji had not been an emperor, he would have been a very respected artist. ＞
＜The mistake was that he was an emperor and he had to do his job＞
＜ Although the saying "It is a rare talent to be a scholar, but a pity to be a king" is used to describe Li Yu, it is also suitable for Song Huizong. ＞
＜Li Yu was not as incompetent as Emperor Huizong of Song… ＞
＜Li Yu never gave up resisting the Song Dynasty and kept trying after he ascended the throne. It can only be said that the gap in strength between the Southern Tang and the Northern Song Dynasty was too great.＞
＜It would have been better if Cheoljong hadn’t died so early. He was a prince, so why would he be an emperor… dragging everyone down with him…＞
＜ Hot Knowledge: The Song Dynasty’s largest territory was during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song ［狗头］＞
＜ It’s not that he is great, it’s that his brother Zhezong left a really good foundation. Through the reform, he achieved a rich country and a strong army. Xixia was already being dragged to death…＞
＜ Song Huizong: If I had died before Jingkang, I would have been the greatest monarch of the Song Dynasty [eating melon]＞
＜It refers to the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" that were redeemed with a large sum of money. They failed to defeat the Liao Kingdom and asked the Jin Army for help. Then the Jin Army completely saw through the strength of the Song Army and a few years later, there was the Jingkang Shame.＞
＜To be honest, the Slender Gold style is really beautiful. ＞
＜ The founder of Slender Gold Style is Xue Yao of the Tang Dynasty＞
……
Although Song Huizong was quite incompetent, his calligraphy is really good.
Li Ranran saw a related video below.
【 How wonderful are Song Huizong's paintings】
【 "Auspicious Cranes" is collected by Liaoning Provincial Museum, "Hibiscus and Peacock" and "Listening to the Zither" are collected by the Palace Museum, "Birds and Bamboo" is collected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and "Five-Colored Parrots" is collected by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts...】
＜ Liaoning Museum is really suitable for the occasion…＞
＜The Northern Hunting Emperor, Lord of the Five Kingdoms City＞
＜Boston Museum… um… I got angry just looking at it… ＞
＜ The last emperor of Southern Tang, Li Yu, was reincarnated as Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, and then as Emperor Zhangzong of Jin, Wanyan Jing [dog head]＞
＜Without saying anything about him, I really think Song Huizong is a genius, good at both calligraphy and painting.＞
＜ Other talented calligraphers and painters in history include Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, Zhu Zhanji. They were not only good at art, but also good at governing the country.＞
＜ Song Huizong is simply not good enough…＞
＜Being too artistic is not good, you will be beaten to death by those martial artists. It would be better if Song Huizong did not become emperor.＞
＜ Didn’t he immediately abdicate the throne to the crown prince? The crown prince refused to do so and was eventually put on the throne [dog head]＞
＜ Hot Knowledge: During the Jingkang Incident, the Northern Song Emperor was Zhao Huan. Strictly speaking, Song Huizong was not the king who lost his country＞
＜Master of calligraphy and painting—Zhao Ji＞
……
Originally, I wanted to see how good Zhao Ji's calligraphy and painting were, but I saw that one of his paintings was overseas. This made Li Ranran feel helpless, alas!
No matter what, the Jingkang humiliation caused by Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong is really a shame for the many ordinary people who were displaced and the civil and military officials who were loyal to the emperor and the country...
Li Yu, who was repeatedly cueed by the light screen, already knew that Song Huizong was an emperor who was captured by the enemy country. He could only sulk because he didn't know how stupid he was.
"unlucky!"
----
Song Dynasty, Qiande 6th year
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin heard the name of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, he felt a tightness in his chest.
Judging from the various spoilers on the light screen, it seems that he has many more reputations for being stupid.
Forget it, there is probably nothing more humiliating than paying tribute and being captured every year...
It shouldn't be more humiliating than Ming Baozong calling the emperor Zhu Qizhen...
At present, all we know is that there was a Jingkang Incident between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, in which the emperor was captured. As for other things, no one knows.
"Damn it! Instead of committing suicide to save face, he lived so carefreely in the Jin Kingdom!" This was related to what Guangmu said last time, that the two captured emperors had given birth to many children in Wuguo City.
"The calligraphy and painting are indeed good. It would be better if he was not the emperor..." Zhao Dezhao carefully chatted with his fourth uncle Zhao Guangmei about Song Huizong.
Zhao Guangmei glanced at the light screen and said, "So it was given to the prince."
"..." Zhao Dezhao was speechless. He had forgotten that Song Huizong had such a move.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to talk about Song Huizong anymore and continued to deal with the follow-up affairs of Southern Han.
Liu Yan of Southern Han was captured by his own confidants and sent to Bian Jing. The battle for Southern Han here can be said to be quite easy.
But the Southern Han Dynasty had been messed up by Emperor Liu, with official corruption and people in poverty. It was not easy to govern the Southern Han Dynasty well.
He looked at Zhao Dezhao who was standing beside him and said, "Dezhao, you and your fourth uncle should think about how to govern Southern Han together."

Song Dynasty, the second year of Chonghe
The six thieves have been dead for a year.
During this period, some small changes took place in the Northern Song Dynasty. For example, the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty began to split into two factions, one supporting the crown prince and the other supporting King Kang, regarding who would be the next emperor.
Some ministers believed that the prince was too weak and must not succeed to the throne.
Some ministers believed that although His Royal Highness Prince Kang lived in the south, he rebuilt the Song Dynasty and retained a part of the territory, so he was considered a wise monarch. The only worry was that the light curtain seemed to say that Prince Kang was easily deceived by treacherous ministers?
This made everyone worry whether Prince Kang would be the next Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, who was deceived by the Six Thieves.
After dealing with the incident of the six thieves, Song Huizong Zhao Ji still did not want to deal with the affairs of state, so he promoted Li Gang and others who had impeached Cai Jing in the court, and asked them to handle major matters for him.
During this period, Jin rebelled against Liao, but Song chose to give Liao some help, allowing Liao and Jin to slowly consume each other, and once Liao showed signs of decline, Song sent Liao supplies to help it hold on.
Some small uprisings also occurred in Shandong. Although Song Jiang, the leader, made it impossible for tens of thousands of soldiers to suppress them, he was finally defeated and surrendered by Zhang Shuye.
Although the court seems to be peaceful, there are actually endless disputes over various power issues behind the scenes.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji automatically ignored the bad information on the light curtain and only kept the ones praising his own good calligraphy and painting.
"Hahaha, which emperor can compare with my calligraphy and painting?"
Then I heard the following mention of Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, saying that they were not only great at calligraphy and painting, but also very good at governing the country.
Zhao Ji's face immediately darkened. The light curtain was truly merciless!
People are confused and pessimistic about the future of the Song Dynasty.
"I heard that there was another fight in the north."
"We fight every year. What if the North really moves south? What should we do?"
"If you ask me, we should have fled south first... Look, even the emperor and his son were captured, and Bianjing was occupied. Aren't we going to be in a worse situation?"
"That's right, get ready early."
……
"Guangmu is right. The emperor is the root cause of all this! They are incompetent and useless!"
"It would be great if there was no emperor. If he doesn't care about the country, what's the point of us guarding it?"
"Alas. The light curtain once said that there would be no emperor in the future, so the future must be very happy..."
“Think about the future.”
"So do I."
……
Most wealthy businessmen and those with extra wealth head south.
Farmers who make a living from farming will not abandon their land and run away, so they can only muddle through the rest of their lives.
Many soldiers at the border also fled.
People were in panic everywhere, but fortunately the Song Dynasty had capable ministers and generals who managed to stabilize the situation.
----
Southern Song Dynasty, Shaoxing 6th year
The Northern Expedition in Shaoxing is in full swing.
The Northern Expedition was led by the Right Prime Minister Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other generals led the Northern Expedition.
Right Prime Minister Zhang Jun wrote a letter requesting Zhao Gou to move the emperor to Jiankang in an attempt to recover the Central Plains, but Left Prime Minister Zhao Ding expressed opposition, believing that it was inappropriate to move the emperor at this time, and the two sides were in dispute.
Zhao Gou had no choice but to temporarily agree to go to Pingjiang.
The vanguard troops of Wang De and Li Qiong defeated the pseudo-Qi army in Huoqiu, and Yang Yi's troops defeated the pseudo-Qi army in Outang. This battle can be regarded as a great victory.
I thought the sky was silent, but unexpectedly there came another light curtain!
Zhao Gou stared at the screen with a gloomy face as he spoke about his father, hoping in his heart that he would not say anything that would be detrimental to the unity of the Song Dynasty.
Qin Hui was also unhappy with Guangmu. Every time he was mentioned, something bad happened. Last time, he almost lost his life.
Now, people come to the Qin Mansion to assassinate them one after another. Qin Hui and Wang are having a really hard time these days.
But after all, he went through a lot in the Jin camp before escaping back to the Song Dynasty, so he had extraordinary endurance.
"Qin is only loyal to the government and takes the government's affairs as the most important."
Zhao Gou was very pleased with Qin Hui's words. Although Qin Hui had no real power on the surface, Zhao Gou often listened to his opinions in secret.
