Southern Song Dynasty, The Early Miscarriage Of Justice And Politics

During the journey of marching to the south, Song Gaozong temporarily stayed in Lin'an. He forgot the shame in Jingkang and the insult to his father and brother, making peace with Jin and receiving the general's military power to ultimately form the South East political pattern. In order to achieve this political purpose, Emperor Song ever made a number of miscarriages of justice with the price of being against social and moral values. There is no denying that the miscarriages of justice at the early stage of the Southern Song Dynasty were directly related to the various Song Gaozong regimes'political move. This article studies the miscarriages of justice and the political purposes at the early stage of the Southern Song Dynasty, examines the legal status, the miscarriages of justice and the political appeals in the years of Jianyan and Shaoxing and the political direction in the late years of Shaoxing, which outlines the general context of political operation in the early stage of the Southern Song Dynasty and reveals its irregularity.The scale of the miscarriages of justice in the early stage of the Southern Song Dynasty and Song Gaozong's legal construction concept shows the paradox in the legal interpretation of the miscarriages of justice and makes a way for our researching the political behavior. The cases in the years of Jianyan were based on the disposal of siege sinners after Song Gaozong's march to the south and the different trials and the trial processes became the best means of research on political choice. At the early Southern Song Dynasty, Taoism's "rapid development" not only revealed a political and cultural changes, but also became a new angle of investigating Song Gaozong's political choice from the years of Jianyan to Shaoxing. The negotiation in the years of Shaoxing concluded a series of miscarriages of justice; actually, it focused on the promotion of the national policy and the implementation of mastering military. Meanwhile, Song Gaozong's implementation of the reconstruction of moral order and civil initiatives perfected the conditions for political exchange. Finally, the rehabilitation of Shaoxing miscarriage of justice, the development of anti-Qinhui movement should be the way of testing Song Gaozong's political intentions when he was in power. The update and reform of the policy and the structure of the power were the foundation of the political orientation in the early stage of Southern Song Dynasty and the formation of the political situation.In general, JianYan's miscarriage of justice were mostly the political purpose of Song Gaozong to stable the political situation and reconstruct the imperial power. However, the outbreak of Shaoxing's miscarriage of justice was mostly for Shaoxing Agreement and consolidation of the political foundation. Although the political purposes were different, the path of political exchange was similar. Through the study of the relationship between miscarriage of justice and politics, this dissertation initially reveals the irregularity of political behavior in the role of political operation and the political behaviors which are in accordance with political normality and its political intents. In addition, for accessing to the instant political interest, the authority timely made use of the miscarriages of justice to quash the obstacles in the implementation of his policies to obtain an expected and purified political environment. Then, in the realization of the expected political interests in or later, they lost no time to construct kingly way to reconstruct the moral discourse theory and to promulgate social benefiting policy to symbolically comfort or compensate the masses of people in imbalance. This seemingly simple but complex political behavior path tells us that, in the vision of the authority, the irregularity of political action is not against political behavior criterion and the inequivalence of political exchange is not an immediate political move. The moral concern under the political context actually is a strategy of seeking political interests not a "people-oriented" unreal veil.
