The fifty-seventh chapter issued a secret edict to Jin Taizong to abolish Zhao

In the fifty-seventh round, a secret edict was issued, and Jin Taizong abolished Zhao

On the first lunar day of the second year of Jingkang, Song Qinzong's father and son and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty spent it in an indescribable state of mind. On this day, Song Qinzong went to Yanfu Palace to meet Emperor Taishang. And Sticky Han did not seem to have forgotten this festival of the Song people, and sent his son Zhenzhu and eight messengers to congratulate the festival. In return, Song Qinzong also sent Zhao Xu, the king of Ji, to Jinying to celebrate the New Year. The atmosphere brought by this kind of festival seems to have eased the tension a lot.

After a few days, however, the atmosphere became tense again.

In addition to stepping up their efforts to obtain gold coins, Mu Han and Zong Wang once again invited Song Qinzong to the military camp, and the reason for this was to buy the emblem for Jin Taizong Wu Qi.

This time, Song Qinzong seemed to have a sense of foreboding, and he was reluctant to rush forward. But He Li said that it was better to go in person, and thought that there would be no accidents. Song Qinzong believed it, so he agreed hesitantly.

As soon as the monarch and ministers discussed, the envoy of the Jin State came, and He Li thought that he had a skill, and sang to the northern envoy: "The drizzle is a slanting wind, making it a light cold." When the people on the left and right heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Li Ruoshui was also beside him, and he also persuaded Song Qinzong to go to Jinying twice. Song Qinzong listened to it and finally made up his mind. ordered Sun Fu and Xie Kejia to assist the prince in supervising the country, and went to Jinying with He Li, Li Ruoshui and others.

Wu Ge, the counselor of the gate, said to He Li: "I watched the sky at night, and when I saw the emperor's throne tilting, there must be an unfathomable image. If you drive out of the east, you will fall into the plan of the golden captive. When He Li heard this, he regarded it as the wind in his ears and ignored it.

Song Qinzong was about to leave the city, and tens of thousands of people from Bianjing pulled the car and said: "Your Majesty must not go out lightly." Crying and staying, Song Qinzong saw it, and also cried like rain.

At that time, Fan Qiong, who was in charge of suppressing the four walls of the capital, shouted: "The emperor left the city in the morning and returned in the evening, and his family was only temporarily missing a master." The east is also eating, and the west is also eating. This is like those tall soldiers in the barracks, the surname Zhang is in charge, and the surname Li is called Li Sikong. ”

When the soldiers and civilians heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation and scolded. Some people even picked up bricks and tiles from the ground and threw them at Fan Qiong. Fan Qiong waved the knife in his hand and cut off the arm of the cart puller.

Song Qinzong's car drove to the suburbs, and Uncle Zhang still knocked on the horse and admonished: "Your Majesty thinks about the people, it is not appropriate to go out lightly." Song Qinzong said: "I am for the sake of tens of thousands of living beings in Bianjing City, so I have to make my own trip. Uncle Zhang heard it at night, and bowed again, and everyone cried. Song Qinzong looked back frequently, and shouted repeatedly: "Ji Zhong works hard, Ji Zhong works hard." "Uncle Zhang's word Ji Zhong, this may be Song Qinzong's last entrustment to the minister. As soon as he arrived at the Golden Camp, he was retained and could never return to the palace.

Two days later, Liu Tao, who was then a senior scholar and a land envoy, went to Jinying to try to find out the news of Song Qinzong and detect the movements of the Jin.

Sticky Han ordered Han Zheng to be the envoy of the pavilion and lived in the monk's house. Han Zheng is very old, and Mu Han wants to replace him with Liu Tao. Han Zheng also bluntly told Liu Tao: "The minister of the country knows the talent of the king, and now he plans to reuse the king." ”

Liu Tao said: "How can this work? I, Liu Tao, am now Song Chen, and I must not cultivate my life to make a living, and I have two surnames. Even if you die, you can't do that. ”

Han Zheng said: "You don't know, the Zhao family's country is about to be unkept, and the army is now discussing the establishment of a different surname, and wants to replace my position with Jun." If so, you can go back with your family. Lord Liu, why do you have to die? It is useless to die, so it is better to go north to get rich. ”

When Liu Tao heard this, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Oh my God, my God, are these true?" After returning, he immediately wrote a suicide note, so that his cronies could return to his sons, and the suicide note said: "The Jin people do not regard me as guilty, but take me as usable." People often say: 'A virgin does not serve two husbands, and loyal ministers do not serve two kings'. And he said, 'The Lord is grieved and dishonored, and the Lord is dishonored and his servants die.' That's why I'm going to die. After that, he bathed and changed his clothes, drank wine, and hanged himself.

The people of Yanjing were moved by their loyalty, and they were on the high hill in the west of the temple, and they were all over the book between the window walls to remember their address. Eighty days later, he died. Depending on its remains, the color is as good as new.

Since Song Qinzong went to Jinying and was left behind by Sticky Han and Zong Wang, the soldiers and civilians of the capital went out of the city to greet him, but Sticky Han and Zong Wang ignored it.

From time to time, a student named Xu Kui, who led the students of Taixue to Nanxun Gate, sent a letter to Sticky Han and Zongwang, asking for permission to drive the car back. His book said: "The king of Xichuzhuang entered Chen, and wanted to think that he was a county. Uncle Shen admonished him and resealed it. The gentlemen of later generations are all called Uncle Shen's good advice and Chu Zi's advice. After thousands of years old, I still miss its style. This dynasty is a dishonest big country, betraying the alliance and asking for it, and the position of marshal; The county town was lost, the community survived several times, and the virtue of the marshal was also; The soldiers are not bloody, the city is not easy to wanton, the living beings are dead and alive, and the marshal is benevolent; Although Chu Zi saved Chen's merits, he failed to have it. My emperor personally bent on ten thousand times, two built the gate, the more reckless, the country in the middle of the country, looking at the dust of the car repeatedly. The words of the road are not enough for gold and silver, so the Son of Heaven has not returned, and he is confused. Today, the state is empty. The ornament of a concubine and a concubine is used in a small way, and all of them are lost. Merchants are extinct, and if they don't come to Jingyi, how can they pay for the amount they need. There is the virtue of the society, the benevolence of the living soul, and for the sake of the golden silk, the quality of the monarch's father. It is the son of a man who loves him, and insults his father and father, and has no choice between love, and the marshal will not do it. I am willing to push the heart of compassion and keep the benefit of the whole time, but against his father. The class teacher revitalizes the brigade and slows down the day. Make the Quartet, and then send people to dedicate, then Chu Feng Chen's merit is not enough. ”

After Mu Han and Zong Wang saw the letter, they sent people to carry Xu Kuan to the camp on horseback and repeatedly questioned him. Xu Kui protested loudly, and his words were fierce. Sticky Han and Zong Wang saw that Xu Kuo was unyielding, and ordered him to be killed.

After Mu Han and Zong Wang sent Song Qinzong to send someone to Jin Taizu Wu to beg for purchase, they were still waiting for his reply. Although some news would come from time to time, sometimes I heard that Liu Yanzong, who knew the Privy Council, had a clearer attitude, and it was appropriate for him to ask Jin Taizong Wu to buy or succeed Zhao as emperor. But it is said that Kim Taejong Wu begged to buy did not react immediately, neither agreeing nor objecting.

On the matter of whether to abolish or establish the Zhao clan, the Marshal's Mansion represented by Sticky Han and Zongwang had a clear opinion, and told Jin Taizong Wu Qimai his opinion extremely secretly.

In fact, the Marshal's Mansion represented by Zongwang and Mu Han had a great strategic goal, which ranged from the initial capture of Yanshan to the later capture of the Three Towns, and even the recapture of Bianjing and the proposal of drawing the river as the boundary, which was the basic process of realizing their strategic goal in the early stage. Undoubtedly, painting the river as a boundary is not their ultimate goal. For this reason, they proposed to Jin Taizong Wu Qimai a proposal to support a different surname as the king.

The support of Mu Han and Zongwang as kings with different surnames can actually be said to be a high-level tactical means to achieve the gradual demise of the Song Dynasty. In the future, the role of this emperor with a different surname is to act as a pawn in the war against the Song Dynasty, and in the relationship with the Jin State, it should be an out-and-out puppet regime.

Of course, whether it is abolished or established, this decision will ultimately have to be made by Jin Taizong Wu Qimai. Now, what Mu Han and Zong Wang are waiting for is this decision made by Jin Taizong Wu Qimai. The reason why they invited Song Qinzong out of the palace and put him under house arrest in Qingcheng was a powerful strategy to deal with future changes in the situation. In words, they had to have an excuse that the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers could believe enough, that is, the amount of gold and silver that should be handed over to them was far from enough.

In this regard, Song Qinzong believed that it was true. He sent someone to tell the ministers of the court: "I will be detained here until the amount of gold and silver is sufficient, and I will not return." And the ministers of the court and the central government also believed it, so they added twenty-four attendants to Langzhong, and then raided. He also sent people to search for the emperor's relatives, chamberlains, and monks' homes. It lasted for eight days, and the city was full of wind and rain, and people were uneasy. He received three hundred and eighty-eight thousand taels of gold, six million taels of silver, and a million horses of silk.

The people in the workshop and the attendant Lan Xin and others reported to Mu Han and Zongwang, thinking that there was still gold and silver in the cellar, but they had not been found. When the second marshal heard this, he was extremely angry. When the officials of Song Kaifeng Prefecture heard that Mu Han and Zong Wang were angry, they panicked and immediately set up a new reward limit, and then began another large-scale raid. This time it was longer, counting eighteen days before and after, and found 70,000 taels of gold, 140,000 taels of silver, and 40,000 horses of satin in the city, and sent them to the front of the army.

However, this amount is still too far from the amount that the Jin people want to claim. When Mu Han and Zong saw it, they were disappointed and their anger was unresolved. So, he was angry with a group of officials in the Song Dynasty.

It turned out that after Mu Han and Zong Wang detained Song Qinzong in Qingcheng, they threatened to ask for gold and silk: "Now that the peace has been decided, as long as the amount of gold and silver claimed is enough, the Son of Heaven will be sent back to the palace immediately." ”

At the beginning, the head of the household Shangshumei and the clan disciple Zhao Zifang, the Xuanzan Sheren Wu Ge and others secretly formed a relationship, planning to recruit soldiers, raid by night, seize Wanshengmen, and then attack Jin Shuai's camp tent, rob Song Qinzong and return. But when discussing with Wang Shiyong, who stayed behind, Wang Shiyong's opinions were not consistent. After that, Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe secretly instructed Fan Qiong to spread the plot of Mei's execution everywhere and secretly informed Mu Han. Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Mei Zhili gave up this intention.

The Jin people took Song Qinzong as the hostage, and asked for gold and silver, and Mei Zhili and the same Chen Zhizhi, Cheng Zhen, An Zhi and others were responsible for looting gold and silver. The four of them felt that the people's strength was exhausted, so they discussed with each other: "The Jin people are insatiable and endless. Even copper and iron cannot be given to them now. Even if the military law is punished, it will not satisfy their greed. ”

However, the eunuchs in the palace carried on the personal grudges of the past, and said to Jin Shuai Muhan and Zong Wang: "There are a total of 7 million households in the city, and there are less than one in 100 people who ask for gold and silver. Now that food is scarce, as long as gold and silver are allowed to be exchanged for corn, those who still have gold and silver in hand will inevitably be exposed. "The Jin people did according to the plan, and they really gained something.

Jin Shuai was furious when he heard about it, so he summoned Mei Zhili, Chen Zhizhi, Cheng Zhen, An Zhi and other four people to him and reprimanded him in person. Mei said: "If the son is dusty today, the subjects are willing to die in harmony. Although the liver and brain are smeared, and they are not counted, where is there any gold and silver? Now, every household is empty, just to survive and rely on it for life. “

Sticky Han listened and deliberately asked: "I don't want to say this to you, I only ask you, where is your official??" When Mei Zhili was about to answer, Cheng Zhen was afraid that Mei Zhili would be convicted, so he took a step forward and said: "I really don't hide it from the marshal, we are all officials." ”

When Mu Han heard this, he became even more annoyed, sneered, and said, "Okay, today I will first teach you those who are officials a lesson, and let you know that I am not a vegetarian." "Let's just call out the deputy envoys Hu Shunzhi, Hu Tangzhi, Yao Shunming, and Wang Yu, each of whom will be beaten with a hundred sticks. The four of them were beaten so that their skin was open and their blood flowed. Lying on the ground, I can't get up again. Seeing this, Mei Zhili and the other four hurriedly pleaded forward.

After a while, Sticky Han said to the four of them, "Okay, that's all for today's business. Go back, you won't be needed here. With that, he turned around and walked away.

Mei Zhili, Chen Zhizhi and the other four heard the words and turned around. When they were about to reach the city gate, a group of samurai suddenly rushed from behind and hurriedly called the four of them to dismount. The four of them had not yet settled down, they only felt that they had received a heavy blow on the head, and in an instant, they only felt that the sky was spinning, their eyes were black, and they fell to the ground, and there was no longer a trace of breath. It turns out that Jin people like to hit their heads with sticks when they kill people. After Mei Zhili and others were killed, they were beheaded and displayed to the public. In fact, this is because Mu Han got Mei Zhili from Wang Shiyong and Fan Qiong and wanted to raise troops to capture Song Qinzong, so he killed him under the pretext.

In addition to gold and silver, Muhan and Zongwang began to ask for other things, such as armillary spheres and books. In addition, there are Mahayana musical instruments, which are so often used for ritual utensils that they are used to play with pictures and other things, and all of them have been moved into the gold camp. After four days, it stopped.

At this time, Mu Han and Zong Wang finally got the edict sent by Jin Taizong Wu Qimai, and the edict said:

"Zhao Huan: The provincial office has descended to the table, and you and Shuyan Wang Yu, Yue Wang Si have already sent down the clan and the hundreds of ministers, the whole country, the people, the monks, the elderly, and the soldiers went out of the suburbs on December 2 to look at the ministers and treat the crimes, and they are informed. If you betray righteousness, then heaven and earth will not tolerate it, which one is better than help? If the alliance is defeated, people and gods will be angry, and it will not be selfish. Since the founding of the first dynasty, it was the father who sought goodness. I treat him with sincerity, and he treats him with deception. The envoy of the floating sea is very diligent, and the words of the land are especially inferior. Analyze the wood layout, the first to start; Pingshan pseudo-edict, once ashamed? He was punished for self-deed, and he was guilty of committing a crime by ignoring a book. Unbridled codification, still tolerant. So far, the evil has been unheard, and the plotters have been punished. I still hear that you have to inherit the throne, and I hope to change the map. How to follow the overturned car of his father and guard against the misfortune of Piliao. Although I was allied under the city last year, I hope that I will fall into the painting today. bribe the three cities beyond the river, neither with them; The two envoys before the construction of the car are supposed to be intermittent. but false vassals, not atonement for the sins of the father; It's hard to be self-employed, and I'll cut it again. The generals are more angry, and the warriors are more courageous. Xijun commits the five sins, and it is appropriate to mourn; Jin Shi has the name of three non-retribution, and it is still not enough. It is the reed of the Ji River, and the feathers are burned. When a man is faint, he will not repent of it. Who will turn his back on the city and borrow one? Fruit heard that the tribe was surrendered. Since it is for those who are sinful, they have their own surnames. All the conditions for the measures have been promulgated to the Marshal's Office. Therefore, it is hereby decreed that it is advisable to know. ”

Mu Han and Zong Wang read the edict and learned that Jin Taizong Wu Qimai had agreed with the Marshal's Mansion and abolished Emperor Song. The messenger who came to the army to deliver the edict was a descendant of Gao Qing, who was a confidant of Muhan. At the moment, Sticky Han set up a banquet to wash the dust for him, and during the banquet, he asked about the things in Beijing, and Gao Qingyi also told them one by one.

After the banquet, Mu Han and Zong Wang invited Gao Qingyi to the secret room and asked: "There is one thing that I still don't know the details of, that is, the matter of supporting the king with a different surname, but I don't know what the emperor thinks." ”

Gao Qingyi said: "When the emperor came up, he asked me to tell the two marshals. Since the abolition of the Zhao clan was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Marshal's Mansion, it was up to the Marshal's Mansion to establish a king with a different surname. ”

Sticky Han asked, "Does the emperor think it is more appropriate to support anyone?" Gao Qingyi said: "The candidate for the Marshal's Mansion is Zhang Bangchang, so just do it with the meaning of the Marshal's Mansion." ”

After hearing this, the second handsome couldn't help but be overjoyed. It turned out that Zhang Bangchang was a native of Dongguang County, Yongjing Army, and he was a jinshi. The Jin people invaded the Jingshi, and the imperial court negotiated to cut the three towns in order to negotiate peace, and took King Kang and Zhang Bangchang as hostages to Jin, which was the first interaction between Zhang Bangchang and Mu Han. Later, King Kang Zhao Gou returned to Beijing, King Su was the gold camp, and Zhang Bangchang was appointed as the envoy of land cutting, which was his second interaction with Mu Han.

Zhang Bangchang advocated peace at that time, and won the trust of Sticky Han and Zongwang. When he left Beijing as the envoy of the land cession, he asked Song Qinzong to sign the imperial approval not to change the proposal of land cession, but Song Qinzong did not agree. He also asked the seal to pay the officials and people of Hebei, but Song Qinzong did not agree. At that time, Muhan led his troops to invade again. Someone wrote that Zhang Bangchang had fornicated with Jinren, but he was actually a thief of the society. He was deposed as a scholar of the Guanwen Palace, an official envoy of the Central Taiyi, and a proposal to cede the land. After the Jin people fell into Beijing, Zhang Bangchang became the guest of Sticky Han and Zongwang.

Sticky Han and Zong Wang received the edict and knew that the matter of abolishing the Zhao family and establishing a different surname had been decided, so they discussed it together.

After all, I don't know what to discuss, and listen to the next breakdown.
