The sixtieth round of Bangchang from the Han Ping Chu Building

However, it is said that King Kang Zhao Gou ascended to the pole and became the emperor in Yingtianfu, that is, Song Gaozong. At that time, the most embarrassing situation was the Great Chu Emperor Zhang Bangchang established by the Jin people.

At the beginning, Zhao Zisong, the prefect of Huaining Mansion of the Song Dynasty, heard that the two emperors moved north, and Weng Yanguo, the envoy of the Jianghuai Economic System, ascended the altar and swore to support the royal family. And moved the book to reprimand Zhang Bangchang and said: "The ministers should see the danger and die, and the people who are discussing it today will take advantage of it to say that it is your Excellency to rob and ask for danger." Otherwise, why did the Jin people insist on rejecting Sun Fu's invitation and rush to your honor? Now that the enemy is gone, it is advisable to return to normalcy as soon as possible. If there is little hesitation, the world will be punished together. Then there will be no time to regret it. Another suicide note to Wang Shiyong said: "The ministers and the country of the dead, I still think that I am a hero and complacent, I really don't know what I have learned on weekdays."

Zhang Bangchang was uneasy and planned to send someone to Yingkang Wang Zhao Gou, Wang Shiyong said from the side: "People say, 'Those who ride tigers are invincible. I hope that you will think carefully about what you do. He will have the scourge of devouring the umbilicus in the future, how can he regret it! ’”

Xu Bingzhe strongly agreed, and Zhang Bangchang saw that the people were not convinced, so he did not listen to the words of Wang Shiyong and others. Send Jiang Shiyu and Cai Lin to see King Kang and Zhao to present themselves.

The book reads: "Bangchang is from Baida." He has gone north, and the calamity that has befallen him cannot be specified. But the king's mercy will be merciful. From yesterday to Yanshan, after the first day of September, after the gold master raised again, there was no loss. The Lord went to the 20th day of the winter month to return to the que, and went to the city on the 15th day of the first month of this year, only to know the cruelty of the country, and the Lord was covered in dust in the suburbs. Whoever returns to the line, will not be sent. On February 7, after hearing the order of the Jin chieftain, he moved the second emperor. The concubines are all out, and the six palaces are empty. He also wanted to wash the city and burn the temples and shrines. Millions of creatures, all of them are fish and meat. If you push a different surname, you will avoid slaughtering the city. Looking for the young emperor's imperial pen to pay Sun Fu and others, now according to the command, the party is a long-term plan. At this time, the minister of the minister, in front of the army, to save the monarch's father. And Bangchang wailed at the second prince, threw himself to the ground, and never recovered. If you take the chieftain's order, you will never be able to return. If the degree is not to be contested, then the first touch the pillar, and the death cannot be. Ignoring Liu Yanzong's Chinese characters Yu Wu and Mo Yan, he blamed everyone and stopped eating. And for another six or seven days, he was dying. And the hundred officials stated the good and the bad, and strongly persuaded the power to help the big things, so they endured it. Fortunately, the captives have been returned and the road is passable. Therefore, the more the teacher appreciates this, in order to understand his heart. His Royal Highness Fu Wei is holy and respectful, and the four seas are looking forward. May the sorrow be forgiven and the subjects may be blessed. ”

After that, Zhao Gou, the king of Hudekang, had ascended to the pole in Yingtianfu and became the emperor, and Zhang Bangchang went from Bianjing to Yingtianfu to meet Song Gaozong, and fell to the ground to ask for death. Song Gaozong comforted with good words, took Zhang Bangchang as the captain, served the **** festival envoy, and sealed the king of Anjun, and went to the capital hall on two days in January to participate in major events.

Zhang Bangchang has fallen from the emperor's throne and become a minister. It stands to reason that his heart should be down-to-earth. However, this was not the case. He was restless all day and night, and he couldn't sleep well.

It turned out that he had a difficult thing in his heart. He served as an envoy to the Golden Camp when he was a young ruler the year before last, and he stayed in the Golden Camp for a long time. One night, I had a strange dream. I dreamed that a warlock made a hexagram for him and wrote sixteen words: "Six, six, thirty-six, the number of yang is naturally sufficient." Two-two-two, don't fall to the ground. "Now it is only counted on his fingers, from the day he was established as the emperor of Great Chu by the Jin people, to the day he left the palace and returned to the Empress Dowager Meng, it was exactly 6636 days. The first two sentences and ten words have been verified, and the last two sentences, what the real meaning of the six words are, is still a mystery to this day. He had a hunch in his heart that this was a bad omen.

However, it was said that Li Gang was squeezed out by the Lord and the peacemakers at that time and was demoted to Ningjiang. When the Jin soldiers arrived again, Song Qinzong suddenly woke up and thought that he had been mistaken by the peace talks. Reminiscing about the past, I thought of Li Gang again. An edict was immediately issued to summon Li Gang to return and be appointed to the post of Kaifeng Yin.

Li Gang went to Changsha and led the army of King Qin of Hunan to help. Halfway through, the capital city was broken by the Jin soldiers. Then he received an edict from Song Gaozong and appointed him as the right prime minister, and Li Gang immediately changed his route to come to Tianfu.

Zhongcheng Yan Qi played: "Zhang Bangchang is liked by the Jin people, although he has been named the king of the three princes, he should be more in the same way and increase his courtesy." Li Gang is hated by the Jin people, although he has been entrusted with the post of right minister, he is still on the way. It should be before he arrives, that is, please stop. ”

At the beginning, Song Gaozong ignored it, but this Yan Qi was not interested, and he connected five songs to ask Li Gang to be dismissed.

Song Gaozong said to him coldly: "It is a fact that Li Gang is hated by the Jin people. A person like me who dares to inherit the ancestral hall and establish himself as an emperor probably won't be liked by the Jin people. ”

Yan Qi listened to it and was speechless for a while. His face suddenly flushed, and he was speechless. But Yan Qi did not give up, and sent someone to send his recital to Li Gang who was on the journey, trying to stop him halfway.

The right counselor, Fan Zhongyin Shangshu, thought that Li Gangzhi was talented and sparse, his name did not match the truth, and he had the power of shocking the lord, and Song Gaozong also ignored it. And Huang Qianshan, who was appointed as a waiter in Zhongshu, and Wang Boshen, who was a straight bachelor, claimed to have the labor of clinging to and must be the prime minister. and Zhao Li Gang outside, the two of them were very unhappy. Li Gang has not yet arrived, and he has already estranged himself from them.

Li Gang traveled to the border of Taiping County, that is, he wrote on the foreshadowing: "The lord of the rise and fall of chaos, non-Yingzhe is not enough to deserve it." Ying is hard-hearted, enough to do big things and not be swayed by small things. The philosopher sees the good and wise, enough to be a gentleman, not a villain. May Your Majesty take the high and light of the Han Dynasty, the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Yizu of the Dynasty, and Taizong as the law. ”

At the beginning of June, Li Gang went to Yingtianfu and entered the inner hall of Song Gaozong. Tears and grief. Song Gaozong saw it and was also deeply moved.

Li Gang said: "Jin people are not moral, and they specialize in winning by deceit. If China does not come to its senses, everything will fall into its own schemes. Lai Tian's mandate has not changed, His Majesty's chief teacher is outside, and he is recommended by the subjects of the world. Repair inside and outside, return the two saints and care for all nations, and the responsibility lies with His Majesty and the Prime Minister. The minister regarded himself as insignificant, and it was not enough for His Majesty to appoint him, and he begged to be killed. And the ministers are in the road, and Yan Qi once sealed the minister's chapter. It is said that the minister is hated by the golden people, and he should not be the prime minister. If the minister is stupid, but he knows that there is Zhao Min, but he doesn't know that there is a golden person, so he should be evil. However, it is not enough to be the prime minister, and it is not enough to be the prime minister, and it is not okay to be the prime minister if it is said to be the evil of the golden people. So he couldn't give up.

In order to appease Li Gang's heart, Song Gaozong made Fan Zongyin and Yan Qi serve as foreign positions, but Li Gang still refused.

Song Gaozong said: "I have long known the great name of Qing, loyalty, righteousness and wisdom, which is enough to make the enemy country subdued and the Quartet peaceful. Therefore, it is necessary to be a minister, and the secretary should not shirk. ”

When Li Gang heard this, he immediately cried and thanked him, and then said: "In the past, Emperor Tang Ming wanted to meet Yao Chong, and Yao Chong wanted to deal with ten things, all of which were temporary illnesses. Now the minister also listens to heaven in ten things, and His Majesty will do what he can do, and dare to accept the order. ”

Then, he played it again, and said that the country was, saying that "China's four imperial empires, Huai guards and then can fight." can fight and then make peace, and Jingkang's changes are lost. If you want to fight now, it is not enough, and if you want peace, you can't. Mo Ruoxian is self-governing and focuses on keeping the policy. I will repair my political affairs, boost morale, and then we can discuss a big move. ”

The second is said to be lucky, saying that "the car must go to Beijing and see the temple to comfort the hearts of the people." If the degree is not liveable, it is a patrol plan. Looking at the situation in the world, Chang'an is the first, Xiangyang is second, and Jiankang is second. ”

The three are called the pardon decree, which is called "the ancestor ascended to the extreme pardon order, and there is a common formula." The pardon letter the day before yesterday was based on Zhang Bangchang's pseudo-pardon as a law, such as pardoning evil and rebellion, and abolition of officials for crimes, and reinstatement of official duties, all of which are rampant and infeasible. It is advisable to correct and follow the law of the ancestors. ”

Fourth, it is said that the discussion is subtly rebellious. It is said that "Zhang Bangchang is the minister of the country, and he can't die on the verge of death, and the momentum of the people who hold the money is changed to change their surnames, and it is advisable to be righteous and profitable, and to prescribe it for eternity." ”

Fifth, it is said that "the country has changed greatly, and there are few envoys who have died and those who have been subjected to the puppet officials to bend their knees to their courts, and there are countless people." In the past, Su Zongping was a thief, and those who committed false officials were convicted of the sixth degree, and it was advisable to imitate them with a strong morale."

Sixth, it is said that "the military and government have been abandoned for a long time, and morale is cowardly, so it is advisable to have a new discipline, and the reward must be punished to boost their morale." ”

Seven said to defend, it is said that "the enemy's cunning is bound to return, and it is appropriate to control it along the river, Jiang and Huaicuo, so as to stifle the brunt." ”

Eight said to discuss the government, it is said that "there are many politics, and the discipline is disordered." It is advisable to return it to the Chinese book, and the court respects. ”

Nine said that the great task of the discussion, it is said that "the minister of Jingkang is too fast, and the effect is contemptuous." It is advisable to choose carefully and take responsibility for success. ”

Ten said to discuss the cultivation of virtue, said "the beginning of the mandate of heaven, Yiyi Xiu filial piety and frugality, with the hope of the four seas, and to the prosperity." ”

The next day, Li Gang's ten matters were discussed in the court, and only the two things of disobedience and false orders were left behind.

Li Gang said to Song Gaozong again: "The two things are the biggest political punishment today. Bangchang is light. In the government ten years. Yuansheng ascended the throne and was the first to be promoted. Fang country is in trouble, and Jin people are plotting for different surnames. If Bangchang can keep the festival to the death, he will push the meaning of Dai Song tomorrow. With the power of his heart, the enemy may not be unrepentant and save the Zhao family. And Bangchang Fang thought that he had a plan, and he was in the right position, banned the palace, and lowered the false edict without permission to stop the Quartet from moving the king's army. And knowing that the world is not with each other, and then the Empress Dowager Yuan Yuanyou listened to the government and discussed it. Bangchang's disobedience began like this, and the speaker was different, and the minister asked for a discussion and judged it by the law of the "Spring and Autumn Period". Debangchang, a person in Fudu City, said that he was born because of his establishment, and he was free from the disturbance of gold and silver. The Marshal's Mansion forgave Bangchang, saying that he did not wait for the levy and sent an envoy to welcome him. If the world is jealous of Bangchang, it is said that it is a surname that is changed, and Feng Yingte is a last resort. The capital of Lourdes, the marshal forgives, and the private also. The world is jealous, and the public is also. The law of "Spring and Autumn", people and ministers have no generals, and they will be punished. If Zhao Dun doesn't please the thief, he will kill the king. Now Bangchang has usurped the title, so he retreated to stop the division of the king, not a special general and a thief. Liu Penzi took the Han clan as the red eyebrow, and then descended to the light with 100,000 people, but he was immortal. Bangchang is a minister and a king, and the sin is greater than the basin, so he has to return to himself. The court is not only guilty of its crimes, but also respects it, what is the reason for this? Your Majesty wants to build a prosperous industry, and respects the disobedient ministers, in order to show the Quartet, who will not disintegrate? and hypocrisy to the ministers, ignoring everything, why do you want to be a corporal and a doctor? ”

At that time, in the government, there were people who were different from Li Gang's views. Song Gaozong summoned Huang Qianshan and others again, and Huang Qianshan said good things for Zhang Bangchang one by one. Song Gaozong asked Lu Hao, an adviser to him; "Qing is in the midst of the siege, he will know the reason, why is it?" Lu Haowen attached Huang Qianshan's words, with an ambiguous attitude and two ends of the language. said: "Bangchang steals the title, everyone knows. Since he has returned to himself, only His Majesty will judge. ”

Li Gang said: "Bangchang's disobedience, how can he be above the imperial court? So that the people of the way will see it and point their eyes and say, 'This too is the day!' After saying that, he wept and bowed to the ground: "The minister can't be in the same column as Zhang Bangchang, if you meet, you should hit him with a wat." If Your Majesty is bent on using Bangchang, please dismiss the minister. ”

Song Gaozong saw that Li Gang was jealous and hateful, and he was righteous and strict, and he was also infected at the moment, and became very excited. Seeing this, Wang Bocheng turned his rudder due to the wind. said: "Li Gangzhi is straight, the minister can't wait." ”

At that time, Deng Su stayed in the gold camp for 50 days, Zhang Bangchang trespassed, and Deng Su was unyielding. first closed the door, and then defected to Song Gaozong, and let him take the position of Zuo Zhengyan. Song Gaozong thought that Deng Su had seen and heard the situation before and after the siege of the Jin people. Let him play them one by one, and punish them as appropriate.

Deng Su said: "Among the traitors, there are five classes of those who are guilty of the greatest crimes: Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Wu Ji, Mo Li, and Lu Haowen are the first class of the servants; Hu Si, Zhu Zong, Zhou Yiwen, Lu Xiang, Li Zheng, Fan Zongyin and others were second-class from the officials and palace envoys; Yan Bowen, Wang Zhao and others who wrote persuasion and forgiveness were third-class; Those who are courtiers and officials, and those who privately make ten friends to set up Zhang Bangchang's rituals are fourth-class; The two brothers He Changyan and He Changchen who changed their names because of Zhang Bangchang, He Changyan was changed to Shanyan, and He Changchen was changed to Zhichen, which is the fifth class. The second rank of the traitors is divided into three classes according to the severity of their crimes: the consuls, attendants, and Taiwan admonishes are subordinate to the puppet court, such as the ruling Feng Lu, Cao Fu and others, which are the first class; The attendants have been dispatched, Du Li Huishang is the Zhongshu She, among the admonitions, there are those who are roded by the gold people who have gold and silver, or those who have been spared by illness, and the rest of the people are all in the pseudo-Chu court to listen to the call of others, which is the second class; There are countless people who have been promoted as concubines, and this is the third class. The rest of the people are just clinging to their positions in order to survive. These people don't have to be held accountable, but they can't be appointed to an official position. ”

At this point, Song Gaozong personally approved the text in Deng Su's recital: "Bangchang is disobedient, and he is punished." The original intention was under duress, and it was possible to borrow with reluctance. Instructed the Zhaohua Army to be the envoy of the festival and placed in Tanzhou. And Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Wu Ji, Mo Yan, Li Zhen, and Sun Mo had been demoted to Gao, Mei, Yong, Jin, Liu, and Gui for the crime of rebellion before this. At this time, all those who committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and aiding the rebellion, such as helping the Jin people to loot gold and silver, insulting and robbing, as well as the wife of the king of Ji, accepting Qiao Guifei's maids, taking the palace people to sing songs and drink alcohol, and other misdeeds must also be punished. ”

Zhang Bangchang arrived in Tanzhou and lived in Tianning Temple, worrying and panicking every day. He seemed to feel that the prophecy of "two-two-two, no landing" in the hexagram made by the warlock in his dream seemed to be not far from him.
