Chapter 233: Zong Ze's Death
Since ancient times, the success or failure of the Hu-Han War has often been related to the cold and hot weather. Hu outside the Saiwai is resistant to cold and heat, so since the Jurchen flourished, they often raised troops when the grass was high in autumn and the horses were fat and strong, and the results of the battle were in the cold winter of Sanjiu - the horses were cold-resistant, and the Jurchens were also cold-resistant, so the winter battle was not good for the Han people.
But many cold-tolerant people are not heat-tolerant, and in terms of weather, the best weather for the Han people to fight back against the Hu people is summer! Just as the Han people are more likely to freeze to death and frostbite in the cold winter, the Jurchens are also more likely to get sick in the summer, and they already feel that the summer is too hot in the Yanjing area, let alone Luoyang and Shandong. Therefore, the Jurchens went south several times in winter and spring, and they fought quickly, and none of them did not return after summer.
This truth is not only known to Zong Han and Zong Fu, but also to Zong Ze and Cao Guangbi! Therefore, as soon as the war in the Central Plains dragged on until the end of spring and early summer, Zong Ze immediately wrote to Zhao Gou and asked him to order a full-scale counterattack. This letter is not only moved by reason, but also analyzed by the strength of the troops, thinking that the Jurchen soldiers will return to the north has been cut, and now the enemy in the Central Plains dragged on for a day and weakened for a day, if the Jin people have to return north to follow the counterattack, even if the three towns cannot be recovered, all the lost land lost in this year must be recovered. The most important thing that Zhao Gou didn't dare to openly refuse was still that one: welcome the two saints back to the dynasty and save the ancestral brothers.
After playing the sparse, Zhao Gou was secretly jealous, but on the surface he had to feign, so he decided to return the edict. Before the edict came out of the imperial court, Wang Boyan and others objected, pointing out that Zong Ze did not know the military opportunity and wanted to trap the king in danger. So the ministers of the imperial court quarreled on the edge of the Yangtze River, and Zhao Gou naturally had to wait for them to come up with a result before making a holy decision, and this quarrel was delayed for a long time, and Zhao Gou's holy judgment was naturally delayed.
At this time, Zong Ze asked Zhao Gou to return to the capital before and after the recital has more than 20 copies, this book has no follow-up, he is angry and sick, and has been ill for a long time, when this letter with the last hope of the recital was once again suppressed by Huang, Wang and other rulers, knowing that the Northern Expedition was hopeless, and the accumulated deep illness finally attacked, and he had gangrene on his back, and he couldn't afford to be sick. When people all over the world heard about it, they all scolded Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan for treachery and mismanagement of the country, and they all hoped that the emperor could identify the traitors as soon as possible.
However, when the people in most places such as Jiangnan, Huguang, and Sichuan were still scolding their ministers and not scolding the king, the north began to make different sounds. Among them, Dengzhou in Shandong and Cangzhou in Hebei are the most severe, and the scholars in these two places actually pointed out that Zhao Gou has always been unwilling to send troops, for all selfishness! The reason why Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan dared to risk the world's disapproval was all because Zhao Gou supported them behind their backs!
At this time, the people of the Central Plains, who had been war-torn for a long time, had begun to lose patience with the Song Dynasty, so these rebellious words spread as soon as they appeared, and although the officials south of the Huai River did everything possible to prohibit such speech, Zhao Gou, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, still received some rumors. On this day, when he read: "It is for his own selfishness, and he has abandoned the inheritance of his ancestors and thousands of Li people, is this not the so-called only husband of Mencius?" Although the text is very shallow, it pierces his heart! At that time, he tore this article to shreds without thinking about it, and even ordered in anger to deal with such chaotic ministers and thieves strictly!
Because Dengzhou and Cangzhou are actually beyond Zhao Gou's control, Zhao Gou's order not only failed to catch the main culprit, but aroused the extreme disgust of the Central Plains scholars, and the Shangdang scholars who originally maintained restraint also began to publicly complain that Zhao Gou "can't drive out Hu Ma and destroy Hu Kou, but only knows how to kill the virtuous and virtuous with the mouth of the people"! Not only did Shilin talk about it, but all kinds of stories that were very unfavorable to Zhao Gou were also spread among the people through the mouths of the storytellers, and the image of the "Lord of Zhongxing" that Zhao Gou had built up quickly collapsed, and turned into a dwarf emperor who only knew how to bow down to the Jin people and beg for peace!
In the end, even Jingshi Bianliang began to have this kind of argument. Although Zong Ze is on the sickbed, he still thinks about the country, knowing that no matter whether Zhao Gou has such intentions or not, such remarks will hit morale if they are spread, and it will be unfavorable to the country and the monarch, and the situation will be unfavorable. The order was passed out, but looking back at what Zhao Gou had done all along, it was difficult to say that those storytellers were slandering. He thought of the scene where he prevented Zhao Gou from going to Jinying as a hostage in Cizhou, and suddenly his heart ached, and he beat his chest and said, "Is it wrong!" Wrong! But what else can be done? If it doesn't work, let Huma do the inheritance of his ancestors, and let the people fall into fire and water! He coughed a few times and vomited blood.
His son Zong Ying was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly came up to support him. Zong Ze sighed: "Now that the heat has arrived, Huma is tired and unable to walk...... It's a pity, it's hateful! After saying that, he fell asleep.
The good doctor of Bianliang arrived, shook his head to Zong Ying after checking the pulse, and said euphemistically, "Please prepare for the future".
When the news came out, the military generals of Wenchen were all shocked, and Zhao Ju'er also hurried to come and see, Zong Ze heard that the princess was coming in a trance, and he had to get up, but Zhao Ju'er had already ordered Zong Ying to hold it down, and cried: "Master Zong, you have to take care!" Otherwise, who else will guard this Bianliang? Who else will protect this Central Plains? β
Zong Ze said: "Don't worry, the princess, the minister is dead, and this soul will also surround this Bianliang city gate, so that Hu Ma will not dare to enter!" He also persuaded: "However, Bianliang is no longer a safe place for Luan, and I also ask the princess to choose a day to tour the south and defend the land and the northern expedition, and there are soldiers who share the worries of the saint and the princess." β
When Zhao Tang'er heard this, her eyes in her tears revealed a trace of strength, and she said word for word: "I won't go back!" The country has reached this point, and it is nothing for me to have one more princess to be buried! β
Zong Ze sighed, not knowing how to persuade him, or even whether he should persuade him.
Zhao Tanger's spirit was getting worse and worse, and he didn't dare to stop him from resting, so he retreated, and as soon as he went out, he suddenly heard the sound of a whirlwind, followed by a military general kneeling on the ground with a straight waist! These are all bloody men who defended their families and countries regardless of hardships and dangers, but they have long been impressed by Zhao Tanger's bravery these days.
Zhao Tanger's contact with many anti-gold heroes has been in contact for a long time, and at this time, there is no longer a girl's timidity, her left hand wiped away her tears, and she choked up: "Master Zong must have something to tell you at this time, I won't stop you, go in." Then he turned and left.
The generals received the order and went inside to ask about the disease, Zong Ze was already dazed, and when he saw them, his eyes suddenly opened, and his spirit was lifted, and he said: "I am not seriously ill, but because the second emperor has been in the dust for a long time, and the ancestral foundation is difficult to recover, so my anger has become sick." You can annihilate a strong enemy for me, so as to achieve the will of recovery, although I die without hatred! β
All the generals burst into tears and said: "Dare not die!" β
After the generals went out, Zong Ze knew that the illness was difficult to get up, so he ordered his son Zong Ying to write a table on his behalf, and once again urged Zhao Gou to return to the Northern Expedition. That night, Zong Ze and Zong Ying made their final words, and none of them talked about family affairs.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt flashed, and Zong Ze suddenly sat up, his white hair stood upside down, Zong Ying wanted to help his father lie down, but he didn't dare to disturb.
Zong Ze inhaled for a long time, and suddenly chanted: "Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears...... his tone turned urgent, and he exclaimed: "Cross the river...... Crossing! Crossing the riverβ"
In the year 1679, autumn, July, Gui Weishuo, senior government hall bachelor, Tokyo stay, Kaifeng Yin Zongze died. And the last bit of expectation of the Central Plains Shimin for the Song family also dissipated with the wind.
