Text Chapter 26 Runzu is frustrated
Those who do good live a long life, and those who do evil live a long life.
- Manchu proverb
Seeing that the Mongol army had no intention of fighting, Gong Runzu boldly proposed to the commander-in-chief Jia Rudao to take advantage of this great opportunity to take advantage of this great opportunity to take advantage of the victory with other Southern Song generals to pursue the Mongol army retreating north.
Unexpectedly, Jia Rudao scolded Gong Runzu sharply: "You are blind, and you don't know the general situation." Do you want to bring back the Mongol army? ”
After Jia Rudao saw that the main force of the Mongol army really retreated, he hurriedly ordered the army of the Southern Song Dynasty to follow behind the Mongol army, seizing the opportunity to chase and beat the Mongol soldiers who could not run, and only killed and injured more than 170 old, weak, sick and disabled.
Jia Rudao carried most of the generals behind his back to render this small battle record into an unprecedented military achievement, and successively reported good news to the imperial court, but concealed the real reason for the retreat of the Mongol army.
When Emperor Song Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty heard that his army, which often suffered defeats, not only won the battle, but also drove the main force of the Mongol army back to his hometown, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights, and praised Jia Yidao again and again as a hero who saved the country and a genius of the world.
Jia Rudao happily returned to the court, and the above table said, "All roads are victorious, the siege of Hubei is solved, and Jianghan is cleared." The sect is in danger and restored, and there is no rest for eternity!"
He continued to shamelessly deceive the emperor and court officials who did not know the truth.
Emperor Lizong of Song ordered people to erect a tall color gate, and personally led the ministers of the court to the outside of the Lizheng gate, and happily greeted Jia Nidao and other generals who had returned from victory.
Song Lizong didn't care about the etiquette between the monarchs and ministers, stretched out his hands to hold Jia Nidao's hand, and said with infinite gratitude: "The virtuous minister saved the society in danger, and his achievements are high, and he will be famous for a thousand years!" ”
Jia Rudao modestly replied: "It is the duty of a courtier to go to difficulties for the country, and it is a humble obligation to relieve the worries of the Son of Heaven." ”
Song Lizong highly praised Jia Rudao: "The virtuous ministers work hard, our people rely on it to survive, and the royal family is the same as rebuilding." ”
Jia Rudao said: "Beichen is willing to go to the soup for the Son of Heaven, break his body and bones, and die!" ”
Song Lizong was so moved that he shed tears, and immediately issued an edict to Jia Yidao and others to be knighted and rewarded, which can be described as a great grace.
Gong Runzu and several other upright generals were originally very dissatisfied with Jia Nidao's missed opportunity, but now they saw him deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and they were really angry in their hearts, so they jointly wrote to Song Lizong to ask for Jia Nidao to be punished.
After reading the chapter, Song Lizong loudly reprimanded: "Jia Rudao won peace for the Great Song Dynasty, and his achievements are great. You and other villains are jealous and wantonly slander the heroes, which is a great crime. Remembering that you and others have made great achievements, I will deal with them leniently to show discipline. Gong Runzu and others were all demoted"
Gong Runzu failed to report the traitor, but instead fell into a slanderous charge, and he was unwilling. He saw that the emperor insisted on listening to and believing partially, and he doted on Jia Rudao in every way, knowing that he couldn't pull his arms and thighs, so he had to retreat and seek to protect himself.
Jia Rudao got rid of his political enemies, and he was exquisite in Lin'an City, and he was worth a hundred times.
Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty dismissed Prime Minister Ding Daquan and appointed Jia Nidao as Prime Minister, so that he smoothly entered the center of power in the Southern Song Dynasty and was able to exercise power and dictatorship.
Cao Shixiong and Xiang Shibi once argued with Jia Nidao in the barracks. Immediately after he gained power, he began to exert his power, falsely accusing Cao Shixiong and Xiang Shibi to Emperor Lizong of Song Lizong, falsely claiming that they had embezzled and stolen official money in the army, which led to their exile.
Another general, Gundam, once sarcastically mocked Jia Yidao in the army. Jia Rudao also took the opportunity to repeatedly say in front of Song Lizong that Gundam was not, hoping that he could get rid of Gundam by the emperor's hand.
Fortunately, Song Lizong still had some wisdom at that time and did not kill Gundam.
Jia Rudao also wrote the "Fuhua Edition" with his accomplices, which was used to praise and praise his heroic deeds in the fight against the Mongol army, and to set up a monument for himself.
Song Lizong, who loved to be heartfelt, built an unprecedented manor for Jia Yidao in the West Lake Scenic Area. The manor is full of pavilions, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, which are extremely luxurious and occupy the beautiful scenery. They also shamelessly borrowed the famous sentence of Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", and named the manor Houyuan. What a pair of faint kings and traitors!
Jiafu and the palace across the lake opposite, magnificent.
In the morning, Jia Rudao heard the bell of the previous dynasty before going out to get on the boat and go to participate in the morning dynasty.
He ordered the boat to be tied to a thick cable. A large winch is attached to the end of the rope. When the boat walked, it was not necessary to paddle and hold the penny, but sent a dozen strong men to desperately push and turn the winch, so that the boat could walk on the lake like flying, and in a moment it arrived in front of the gate of the palace.
After Song Duzong ascended the throne, in order to test his status in the imperial court, Jia Yidao deliberately said in front of Song Duzong that he was old and needed to return to his hometown to be blessed.
In order not to lose this military wizard, Song Duzong issued an order to allow Jia Yidao to take special care of him, and he didn't have to come to the court every morning, just go to the court once on the 6th, and he didn't need to perform the monarch's courtesy like other officials, and later it was changed to 10 days before going to the court.
Through this incident, Jia Yidao proved that his status in the court was almost similar to that of the emperor.
Gong Runzu thought that the newly enthroned emperor could see through the traitorous ministers, but he was even more mediocre than Song Lizong, and he was so disappointed that he was no longer willing to serve the traitorous ministers, so he resolutely resigned from his official position and resolutely asked to return to his hometown to support his parents.
With tears in his eyes, he took off his armor angrily, bid farewell to the court, and set out on the journey to his hometown in Jinling.
This year, Gong Runzu just turned 32 years old.
His elder brothers, Gong Guangzu and Gong Yaozu, were martyred in fierce battles in Shaanxi and Sichuan in their early years to stop the Mongol army, and were buried by the local people in Yangpingguan in southern Shaanxi and the ancient city of Langzhong in northern Sichuan. In this way, among Gong Wanli's three sons, Gong Guangzu and Gong Yaozu all died in the field, and only Gong Runzu survived safely.
Gong Runzu walked to the boundary of Jinling, looked up at the Purple Mountain covered with layers of emerald green, his heart was hot, and tears filled his eyes. He turned around and kowtowed deeply in the direction of Lin'an, then strode towards his home.
The white-haired Gong Wanli saw Gong Runzu return home, and hurriedly asked: "The country is still in danger, what are you doing as a general who is not in the barracks to protect your family and defend the country?" ”
Gong Runzu smiled reluctantly: "The emperor is gracious and ordered me to go home to visit the second elder." ”
Gong Wan reprimanded with a sullen face: "The second elder is in good health, but the country is in danger. Why do you not take care of the country in danger, but you take care of the healthy second elder? ”
Gong Runzu saw that there was really no way to hide the matter, so he had to tell the real situation one by one.
Gong Wanli listened to his son's explanation, his eyes were open angrily, his hands kept shaking, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. Suddenly, a large mouthful of blood erupted from his mouth, and he fell to the ground and swallowed.
Since then, Gong Huaizhou's descendants have completely separated themselves from officialdom and military circles, devoted themselves to studying historical books, and no longer cared about state affairs and political affairs.
Jia Rudao became more and more carried away. He used his power to drive out the only few upright ministers in the court, handed over the big and small government affairs to the doormen, and brought in some prostitutes, nuns, and old palace maids every day, drinking and prostitution, without any scruples.
One day, Jia Rudao was lying on the ground playing with a group of concubines fighting crickets.
A drinking friend and gambler he had met when he was young came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This is the important military affairs of Pingzhang, right?" ”
In the Song Dynasty, Pingzhang was another name for the prime minister.
Jia Rudao was not ashamed when he heard this, but laughed wildly.
Therefore, the people at that time sarcastically said: "There is no prime minister in the DPRK and China, and there is a flat chapter on the lake." ”
What's even more ridiculous is that Jia Rudao also brought crickets to discuss politics. The chirping of crickets was heard in the court from time to time, and even once the crickets jumped out of Jia Yidao's water sleeve and jumped onto Song Lizong's beard.
Jia Rudao is very fond of the jade belt worn by a minister. Later, when he heard that the princess had died and had been buried, he hurriedly ordered the grave to be dug up and the dead man's jade belt to be taken for himself, which shows that his greed was extreme.
Soon after, the Mongol army again laid siege to Xiangyang.
Documents came one after another at the border gates. Jia Rudao is the first to have fun, followed by state affairs, and he will not go to the court. Not only did he not inform Song Duzong of the military situation, but he also bribed other ministers in the court, so that the emperor could not know the truth about the border passes.
A palace maid secretly told Song Duzong: "Your Majesty, the maidservant girl heard that Xiangyang has been besieged by the Mongol army for five years. ”
Song Duzong hurriedly summoned Jia Rudao to ask what was going on.
Jia Rudao deceived the emperor with rhetoric, and then ordered the immediate execution of the palace maid who told the truth.
One day, Song Duzong went out to participate in the sacrificial ceremony and encountered heavy rain from the sky.
His beloved concubine Hu Guifei's father proposed: "The emperor's dragon body is important. Or ask the emperor to return to the palace and come back to worship when the weather improves. ”
Song Duzong felt that what he said made sense, so he accepted the suggestion.
Unexpectedly, Jia Rudao was very dissatisfied with this, and pretended to propose to the emperor to leave the palace and return home.
Song Duzong begged Jia Nidao to stay, and later listened to Jia Nidao's slander and sent his beloved Hu Guifei to be a nun, which was forgiven by Jia Nidao.
Jia Rudao's brother of a concubine came to see his sister. When Jia Rudao found him peeping secretly in front of his palace, he was immediately furious and ordered the concubine's brother to be tied up and thrown into the fire to be burned alive.
Once, Jia Rudao's concubine Li was playing on the West Lake, and accidentally saw two personable young men, and blurted out praise: "Beautiful, two young men!" ”
After hearing the secret report of his subordinates, Jia Rudao was jealous and ordered someone to cut off the head of the Li family and put it in a box for the other concubines to watch as a warning.
After the death of Song Duzong, the Mongol army captured Ezhou, a military town in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Tai Xue proposed: "Prime Minister Jia Cheng has been bathed in the rain for a long time in the emperor's favor and favor. Now, with the national crisis at hand, the prime minister should personally lead the troops to fight and live up to the emperor's favor. ”
Under the strong pressure of public opinion, Jia Rudao had to go into battle. However, he was as timid as a mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death, and had no intention of fighting the enemy at all, but only blindly sought peace.
He sent someone to give a heavy gift to Boyan, the prime minister of Dayuan, and asked for compensation for the land cution.
Boyan accused Jia of not keeping his word and refusing to negotiate peace.
In 1275, in the Lugang area of Wuhu, Anhui Province, 130,000 officers and soldiers led by Jia Rudao were defeated by Dayuan's army almost without resistance. Jia Rudao and several of his henchmen abandoned the vast number of soldiers and fled in a small boat.
Countless soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty were killed, wounded and fled, and the blood stained the entire river red.
Da Yuan's army pursued the victory and approached Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
When the news of the defeat reached the imperial court, the people were shocked and public opinion was in an uproar. The crowd strongly demanded that Jia Yidao be killed to thank the world.
Empress Dowager Xie was forced to remove Jia Nidao from his official position. However, this move did not quell the outrage. There was unanimous demand inside and outside the court that the traitorous minister Jia Nidao who misled the country and the people should be executed.
Empress Dowager Xie had no choice but to decide to demote him to the remote area of Guangdong.
After Jia Rudao was dismissed, he asked to return to his hometown in Shaoxing to keep filial piety for his mother. The magistrate of Shaoxing hated him for bringing disaster to the country and the people, and refused to open the city gate to let him enter the city.
Jia Rudao had no choice but to live in Wuzhou. The local people hated him to the core, and posted notices everywhere in the city, demanding that the traitor Jia Yidao get out of Wuzhou.
The court saw that Jia Rudao was like a lost dog, and no one was willing to take him in anywhere, so it finally decided to escort him to Xunzhou for resettlement.
The family of Zheng Huchen, the governor of Huiji County, was once persecuted by Jia Nidao. In order to take revenge, he took the initiative to ask to escort Jia Rudao.
After hitting the road, it was a hot summer day. Zheng Huchen deliberately lifted the top cover of the sedan chair that Jia Nidao was riding, so that the hot sun exposed Jia Nidao, and urged him to commit suicide many times to apologize.
Jia seems to be delusional and stealing his life, and he is unwilling to judge himself, and he also said eloquently: "The emperor promised me not to die." ”
Zheng Huchen was so angry that his liver hurt, and he tried his best to torture Jia Rudao.
Walking to the Kapok Nunnery in Zhangzhou, Fujian, Jia Rudao finally understood that he could no longer live, and reluctantly committed suicide by taking the borneol prepared for him by Zheng Huchen.
How can the dog's life be quite tenacious, and he just keeps having diarrhea for a while, and he doesn't seem to be breathing.
Zheng Huchen was angry, found a straw rope, and said in the thatched house where Jia seemed to be respectful: "You killed thousands of people casually, it is really a great crime. Now that I'm here to end your dog's life, I've really dirty my hands! ”
Zheng Huchen strangled the innocent Jia Nidao with a straw rope, and removed a major scourge for the people.
Jia Rudao has been a prodigal all his life and loves to fight crickets. Based on his knowledge, he also wrote the world's first monograph on crickets, "Promoting the Weaving Sutra".
"Promoting the Weaving Sutra" consists of two volumes, which are divided into Fu, Shape, Color, Decisive Victory, Maintenance, Fighting, Disease, etc., and the crickets are discussed in detail.
If Jia Yidao is just an ordinary player, he is really a cricket expert. However, he was greedy for official positions and was extremely corrupt, so he naturally became a sinner for the ages who was reviled by future generations.
