322 grows horns and is afraid of wolves

Men in their twenties are always adventurous. The first time the Jin people hit Bianliang, Zhao Gou took another risk, that year he was 19 years old, as a hostage to the Jin camp, not humble or arrogant, arrow shooting words, even Wanyan Zongwang was very admired, thinking that he was not Zhao Ji's son, but the son of a general, so he let him go.

After returning from Jinying, the imperial brother Zhao Huan was very happy, and immediately named Zhao Gou as the Taifu and the envoy of the festival. At that time, Wenfeng Taifu and Wufeng Jiedu were particularly glorious. Zhao Gou, who was only nineteen years old, was double-sealed, which shows his prominent position among the brothers. This prominent position was won by him bravely and resolutely. When the other brothers were submissive, he could only "although there are tens of millions of people, I will go".

Until this time, Zhao Gou was a brave young man. As the old saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Because Zhao Gou has the spirit of "calf", it can be said that he is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he puts life and death out of the way. When did you get scared? As the old saying goes: a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but a horn is afraid of a wolf.

When did Zhao Gou grow "horns"? Let's start with a special event -

The Jin army marched into the Song Dynasty for the second time, frightened Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong, and sent his ninth brother Kang Wang Zhao Gou and Shangshu Wang Yun of the Criminal Department to Jinying to negotiate peace, and traveled to Cizhou (Handan City, Hebei), but was stopped by the prefect Zong Ze.

Zong Ze persuaded: "Jinying can't go anyway, they don't talk about credit, they will be detained if they go, and it will be difficult to get out." King Su Zhao Shu has been detained there, and if you go, you will also be beaten by meat buns, and there will be no return. ”

Zhao Gou pondered and said, "Let me think about it!" ”

The place where they met was in front of a small temple, and in addition to the officers and soldiers, many ordinary people came around. The left and right three layers of Zhao Gou and others were surrounded by water.

"You can't negotiate peace with the Jinren!" There was a big beard shouting.

"You can't negotiate peace with the Jinren!" A group of people echoed.

Wang Yun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up and shouted loudly: "Master Zong, everyone, I am Wang Yun, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and this time I accompanied King Kang to Jinying to discuss peace, which is the will of the Holy Lord today. Is it possible to disobey the Divine Decree? No. Please get out of the way, don't get in the way of official business, and let us go! ”

When the bearded man heard this, he was very angry and shouted: "Wang Yun, he is the big traitor Wang Yun, gnawing watermelons with open teeth - one by one." But none of them are good. It's the bad trick he put forward - the wall is clear. Ransacked our house and robbed the grain, saying that it was for the sake of fighting gold, pure! Now, he is not actively fighting with the Jin people, but wants to negotiate peace with the Jin people. Paying money and cutting land, what does such a dog official want him to do? ”

"Shoot him, shoot him!" A crowd of people shouted.

"I am an official of the imperial court, the emperor is a messenger, who dares to move a single hair." This Wang Yun doesn't look at the fire, and this remark is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

"Master Zong—" Zhao Gou spoke, meaning that he wanted Zong Ze to persuade the people.

Zong Ze looked at it coldly, he advocated anti-Jin, and especially hated the Lord and faction. I didn't have a good impression of Wang Yun in the first place, so I pretended not to see anything. Afraid that Zhao Gou would be hurt, he pulled him back a few steps.

The people rushed up, and they didn't care if you were still a scholar or not, either punching or kicking, punching and kicking. Most of the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, especially the civil officials, were weak and did not resist fighting. Everyone beat Wang Yun severely, relieved his anger, and immediately scattered as birds and beasts, and they all ran away.

Zhao Gou saw an extremely bloody scene: Wang Yun was bleeding from his seven orifices, his tendons were broken and fractured, and he was beaten to death.

King Kang also dreamed that a dignified second-rank official to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who was the official in charge of punishment, and the Qincha who carried out the emperor's mission, was actually beaten to death under his own eyelids. He didn't use any weapons, he just punched and kicked each other, and he was beaten to death.

What crime did Wang Yun commit? and they have committed nothing. Even if you commit a crime, you have to try it for the first time! Without any trial, a group of people, nay, just a group of people, shouted, and a hundred and eighty people came up, and they were beaten to death, and they were beaten to death, and then they were killed!

The people are terrible! Diao Min is terrible! Zhao Gou's heart trembled, he was a king, if he insisted on negotiating peace, would he also be killed?

Zhao Gou didn't dare to think about it. Wang Yun's death gave him great stimulation. Since then, it has left a big shadow in the depths of the soul. That bold and brave boy has grown up a lot and matured a lot.

Zong Ze invited Zhao Gou to the mansion, naturally he was good at eating, drinking and entertaining. However, his heart was not happy. None of them are good, and each one is worse than the other.

The defenders of the Yellow River had a full 140,000 men, with plenty of grain and grass, and were well-equipped. The Jin people did not exceed 10,000 people, and they actually calmly crossed the Yellow River in a few small boats.

What about the defenders? All gone. Why did you run away? Speaking out makes people laugh. The Jin people did not cut a knife, did not stab a single shot, did not shoot an arrow, but only tied dozens of sheep with small sticks to their front legs, and let the sheep beat the drum in the middle of the night, and scared all the 140,000 defenders away.

When Zhao Gou heard the news, he was speechless for a long time, and muttered, "How can this be!?" How so?! How so!?? ”

The crossing of the Yellow River by the Jin people is not the worst news. Soon it was rumored that Bianliang was besieged, and at first I didn't take it to heart, feeling that there were hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the city after all, and they were all the most elite troops in the Great Song Dynasty. But it didn't take long for Bianliang City to be broken. It didn't take long for his father, brother, and siblings to become slaves and were taken to the north by the Jin.

This series of blows made the young man who was once high-spirited and didn't know what he was "afraid of" had a deep terror. He's afraid, he's afraid of too many places. He had been in the Golden Camp and knew how powerful the Golden Man's mace was. Therefore, he began to be afraid of the Jin people. The seeds of this "fear of gold" are buried deep in my heart.

He saw with his own eyes a group of ordinary people killing high-ranking officials in the court, and the seeds of this fear of "Diao Min" were also planted in his heart. Therefore, Zhao Gou was especially afraid that the "righteous army" would grow stronger!

Zhao Gou was at a loss, he didn't know what to do. At present, he has a false position as a generalissimo of soldiers and horses, but he does not have a single soldier under him. His only advantage is his surname Zhao, and his veins are the blood of the royal family. The brothers were all arrested and escorted to the north, and they were the only ones who could breathe freely.

Zong Ze came, comforted and encouraged him, and said: "King Kang, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood." In front of you, the blood of the royal family is only yourself. You should not be left without an owner for a day, you should be ready to ascend the throne! ”

Zhao Gou was frightened when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again and said, "Master Zong, this joke can't be made!" Anything can be discussed, but this matter cannot be discussed! ”

Zhao Gou refused, he knew that being the emperor at this time was tantamount to setting himself on fire. My brother Zhao Huan was the emperor in an extraordinary period, but the dragon chair was not hot yet, and he had hemorrhoids. Sores fell first......
