Chapter 709: Breaking the Yellow River
Barbarian? Wanyan Zongbi's eyes became cold and abnormal, what he hated most in his life was to be called a barbarian, the Jurchens were warriors, not barbarians. Zhao Ming, why did this old thing mention Zhao Yougong, the most painful memory in this life was given by Zhao Yougong.
With a wave of his hand, several Jin soldiers stepped forward, raised their knives and fell, and cut off Zhao Ming's head. At this point, Enzhou fell, and all the soldiers and civilians of Enzhou were killed, and none of them were spared.
And when Enzhou fell, Zhao Yougong was sitting in the courtyard feeling the slightest cold wind, and he wanted to tell Zhao Ming that he Zhao was not a hero, and there were no heroes in the Great Song Dynasty, because the fate of heroes was often very miserable.
The years are silent, the Tianshan Mountains are singing, the heroes are at the end, and there is nothingness.
Lonely fireworks, lonely return, this seven years of Xuanhe, for every Song Dynasty citizen, it is so difficult, when the city of Enzhou is broken, can the Daimyo's Mansion be saved? Liang Shijie sat alone in the hall, the door was open, and the courtyard was full of ruined scenery, just like Liang Shijie himself, looking tired and decadent, the majestic Daimyo's mansion in the past was not peaceful, those people in the mansion were scurrying around like headless flies with their burdens, Enzhou City was broken, and the Jurchens arrived in Linqingzhou, maybe they would hit the Daimyo's Mansion tomorrow. Many people in the government fled for their lives with their belongings, but Liang Shijie turned a deaf ear to this, as if he didn't see this qiē. Why bother to stop the people from escaping, in fact, Liang Shijie also knows very well in his heart that as long as the Jurchens call, the Daimyo Mansion will definitely not be able to hold it, and now the Hebei soldiers and horses will either die on the banks of the Yongding River, or they will die in Enzhou City, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled are useless, and they want to rely on the only 3,000 remaining people in the Daimyo Mansion to block tens of thousands of Jurchen Iron Cavalry? That's a fool's dream, harder than a rooster laying eggs.
The house became like this. Liang Shijie doesn't care. Mrs. Cai couldn't ignore it. Mrs. Cai is worthy of being Cai Jing's daughter, this money-loving problem is better than blue, and the subordinates have been thinking about it for a long time, but the effect is very small, not only the servants in the house have run away, even the guards are thinking about running for their lives, who still listens to Mrs. Cai's words? Angry, Mrs. Cai came to the living room in a rage. Seeing Liang Shijie sitting motionless in the chair, he suddenly became angry and raised his eyebrows, "You don't care about it, you're still not a man, you don't care what the house is messing up with!" ”
Mrs. Cai's words did not have any respect for her husband, it was more like ordering a domestic servant, I thought that Liang Shijie would run over to please as usual, who would have thought that Liang Shijie listened. I just looked up and didn't say anything. Snorted in his nose. Mrs. Cai is used to being powerful on weekdays, and she hasn't seen the difference between Liang Shijie today, so she pinched her waist and scolded Liang Shijie, "Are you deaf or stupid, didn't you hear me?" ”
"Hear, do you still want to stop those people? You go clean up too, we'll have to leave the Daimyo's Mansion in a while!" Liang Shijie's tone was light, but also a little dignified, for the first time, in front of Mrs. Cai, showing the majesty of Liang Zhongshu, it was like a different person. Mrs. Cai was very inexplicable, and opened her mouth slightly, "What are you talking about, why are you talking to me like this?" ”
"Why, didn't you hear clearly? Hurry up and pack up your things and leave the Daimyo's Mansion for a while, if you want to die in the Daimyo's Mansion, Liang doesn't care" Liang Shijie spoke coldly, he really couldn't tell how much affection he had for this lady, but if he wanted to talk about resentment, it was absolutely indispensable, he had been pressed by a shrew for so many years, and he was not a ghost. But in the end, it is a husband and wife, Liang Shijie can't do anything to abandon his wife, although Cai's is not very good, but he has been able to have today's status over the years thanks to her.
When Liang Shijie stood up, Mrs. Cai found that today's Lang Jun had changed and became no longer so obedient, looking at the pair of cold eyes, she couldn't help but take two steps back, "Liang Shijie, do you really want to escape?" Oh, run, go to Bianliang! ”
As soon as Mrs. Cai finished speaking, Liang Shijie frowned and said coldly, "Stupid, what do you think, you still run away to Bianliang, the Jurchen barbarians break the Daimyo's mansion and cross the Yellow River, they will inevitably attack Bianliang City, and you still flee to Bianliang, isn't this a self-defeating net?" ”
"Ah, where are you going?" Where did Mrs. Cai understand so many truths, she just felt that Bianliang City was protected by her father, but she never thought that Bianliang might not be able to keep it. Liang Shijie sighed and waved his hand a little impatiently, "Hurry up, you, don't point to your father, if the Jurchens come, your father won't be able to protect us." Let's not go to Bianliang, go to Chang'an! ”
sighed, I don't know how much helplessness there was, looking at the west, Chang'an, Chang'an, the ancient capital that was abandoned by the Great Song Dynasty, and now because of the appearance of the Dingguo Army, it has become the last peaceful paradise of the Great Song Dynasty.
Mrs. Cai doesn't know whether she understands or not, but there is one thing she still knows, what kind of place is Chang'an, that is the heart disease of the imperial court, and Zhao Yougong, the king of Qin, and his father Cai Jing are also incompatible, what will be the result if they go there? Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai said with some hesitation, "Really go to Chang'an?" Liang Guanren, if we go to Chang'an, how will the official family think of Daddy? ”
"Hmph, my father-in-law is getting old, and it's time to go home to recuperate, and it's a dead end for him to stay in Bianliang City. I'm helping him, besides, if you don't go to Chang'an, where else will you go, do you think the imperial court can keep Bianliang? Gradually, Liang Shijie became excited, his face was ruddy, his eyes were round, he pointed to the north, and said loudly and angrily, "If the imperial court is good, why did the hundreds of thousands of troops in Baigou River lose to tens of thousands of Khitans back then, and now it is better, hundreds of thousands of troops, and there is no piece of armor left behind by tens of thousands of Jurchen barbarians." The imperial court has raised a bunch of waste, hum, what about your father, what about big events, what kind of birthday gang do you want every year, Liang has already had enough of this kind of life. ”
The anger in Liang Shijie's heart has been accumulating for more than ten years, and this sudden outbreak is extremely scary, and Mrs. Cai has become submissive and no longer dares to question it.
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Liang Zhongshu, the highest military and political official of the Daimyo Mansion, fled with his family, and in the evening of the same day, the Jurchens killed all the way from Linqing to the Daimyo Mansion along the Grand Canal. At this time, the Daimyo's Mansion was already disheartened, and everyone who could escape fled, how could a Daimyo's Mansion without cohesion and a commander resist the attack of the Jurchens? The answer is obvious, Wanyan Zongbi just made people storm the southern city of the Daimyo's mansion, and the southern gate was laid down in half an hour. Subsequently, this important military town in the north fell intact into the hands of the Jurchens.
The fall of the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing. It indicates that the center of Hebei has changed hands. The impact of the fall of the Daimyo Mansion is far-reaching, not only can the Jurchens go south at any time to reach the Yellow River ferry, but also radiate to the surrounding states and counties, and now the people of Hebei panicked, and hundreds of people began to flee with their families, and the direction of their escape was exactly the same as Liang Shijie, all of them went to Guanzhong. Now most of the people of the Great Song Dynasty have given up on the court, how many times. The imperial army was defeated repeatedly against foreign enemies, and the defeat was so bad that there was no hope at all. On the other hand, the Dingguo army, in every battle, will be brave and fearless, and will win countless battles, which is similar to the imperial court, the bandits have the ability, and the barbarians are like sheep.
Is Zhao Yougong a good person? At least he doesn't think he's a bad person. An out-and-out bad guy, when Hebei was plagued by the Jurchen iron hoof. The Dingguo army did not move, but the people who fled from Hebei received all of them. Population is a huge resource, many times, no one can do anything, with a sufficient population, there is enough labor, there is hope for the redevelopment of Guanzhong, with population, there is a source of soldiers. However, His Royal Highness Zhao did this, and he really lacked a lot of morality, after all, Wanyan Zongwang led the soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom to invade Hebei, and it was also because of the acquiescence of the Dingguo Army, but whenever the Dingguo Army approached the Dading Mansion for dozens of miles, the people of the Jin Kingdom would not dare to be so arrogant. Reasonable people understand, but the people are easy to be fooled, they don't understand the way here, only know that the Dingguo army gave them houses, clothes for them, land back, and finally promised to protect their safety.
Recently, Zhang Yi has been busy and dizzy, and the whole person doesn't care about the continuous rotation of the sky and the night, but His Royal Highness Zhao is a lot more leisurely, Ah Jiu got a young eagle out of nowhere, saying that he wanted to train it, so that the eagle could be protected as bravely as rhubarb. Seeing Ah Jiu fooling around all day, Zhao Yougong shook his head and smiled bitterly, can this dead girl grow up?
"Xiao Jiu, can you still grow up? Are you going to be thirteen years old for the rest of your life? Quip, but the girl was very arrogant, frowning cutely, straightening her chest, and said crisply, "Childe will talk nonsense, which is small, look at it!" ”
Zhao Yougong was speechless for a moment, take a closer look, it's really not small, what's the use of seeing, you have to touch it. With a wicked smile on his face, he grabbed it with one hand, and when he saw that he was about to touch the nine girls, there was a coughing sound behind him, "Official, go to the front hall, there is another military report from Hebei." ”
His Royal Highness Zhao is called a depressed, look at Zhu Niangzi, okay, with a little evil smile between his eyebrows, it is clear that it is deliberate. The whole figure stood up straight, and said seriously, "Well, this king is going to take a look!" ”
However, when he made a mistake, he added another sentence to Zhu Niangzi, which made Zhu Niangzi's face red and red, and she glanced at Zhao Yougong coquettishly. His Royal Highness Zhao left, and Zhu Niangzi pulled Ah Jiu to sit under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. Over the years, not only Zhao Yougong has doted on Ah Jiu, but even Zhu Lian has reached out and picked the messy hair in front of Ah Jiu's forehead, and said with a slow smile, "Xiao Jiu, you are not too young, a daughter's family, you can't always be so deserted." A few days ago, Concubine Ben found a good boy for you, are you willing? ”
Ah Jiu is really a little afraid of Zhu Niangzi, this big lady doesn't beat or scold, but she has means. Originally, she lowered her chin and obediently listened to Zhu Niangzi's words, but when she heard this, Ah Jiu raised her chin and broke free from Zhu Niangzi, took two steps back, her little face was cold, and her mouth was pouting. ”
Seeing Ah Jiu's reaction, Zhu Niangzi chuckled, "Girl, don't you want to hear who that person is?" Can't you follow Childe? ”
For many years, everyone knows what Ah Jiu thinks in his heart, and His Royal Highness Zhao loves Ah Jiu a lot, and everyone knows it, Zhu Lian pranks him, and he just wants to promote this matter. Maybe Ah Jiu should be happy, she will definitely be happy, but after listening to Zhu Niangzi's words, Ah Jiu shook her head vigorously, she lowered her head, didn't say anything, and ran away quickly. Looking at Ah Jiu's blurred back, Zhu Lian was a little stunned, after so many years, hasn't this girl come out of what happened back then?
When the years hazy my eyes, I gave my eyes to the earth, the days flew by, the people who should grow up grew up, and the people who should grow old also grew old. The wind doesn't stop, the clouds still move, and how many dreams can stay here. Hebei is in chaos, Guanzhong is still prosperous, in the main hall. Listen to Zhang Yi talk about what happened in Hebei recently. Ay. As expected, after the Jurchens occupied the Daimyo's Mansion, they directly captured Anyang County in the west, and by this time, the Jurchens' purpose was already very obvious. It is to accumulate strength, wait for time to cross the Yellow River, and the front of the army is directed at Kaifeng Bianliang City on the south bank of the Yellow River. Ancient Tokyo Bianliang, the most prosperous place in the Great Song Dynasty. Finally, the military disaster came.
For many people, the military disaster is terrible, especially the people of Bianliang, how many years have they not known what the military disaster is, let alone the high-ranking official Zhao Ji?
In the palace, in a large hall, there are three Qing Daozun, the hall is burning with curling smoke, Zhao Ji is dressed in a green robe, kneeling on the cushion. The expression is solemn and solemn. If there was some hesitation before, then now. He had already made up his mind that the throne was more important than his life. It's ridiculous to say, every emperor will have a strong arrogance, that is, he would rather die than obey, but he can't see this arrogance in Zhao Ji, he only sees cowardice and fear, Zhao Huan is cowardly, but Zhao Huan's cowardice is harmless to people and animals, and Zhao Ji's cowardice will kill countless people. Cai You's words are still in his ears, the Jurchens are still moving, but they may cross the Yellow River at any time, and it is important to escape.
At this moment, Yang Lian trotted into the hall and said in her ear, "Official, I just got the news that Liang Shijie gave up the Daimyo's Mansion and went to Guanzhong to join King Qin and Zhao Yougong!" ”
One sentence ignited the anger in Zhao Ji's heart, Liang Shijie can go anywhere, he shouldn't go to Guanzhong to seek refuge with Zhao Yougong. Thinking that Liang Shijie, who was deeply favored by the emperor, took refuge in his nephew, he was as disgusting as eating a dead mouse, "Good you Liang Shijie, I treat you well, you actually did such a thing." And that Cai Jing, how did he manage his family and manage such a white-eyed wolf? ”
Zhao Ji was furious, what is the relationship between Liang Shijie and Cai Jing, he was inevitably angry with Cai Jing, thinking about it, Zhao Ji issued the last holy decree before his Zen position, "Yang Lian, the proposed decree, tell Cai Jing that I miss him in his old age, so go home to retire." As for the affairs of the DPRK, let's give it to Cai You, Cai Ying is young, how to convince the public? ”
A simple sentence represents the end of Cai Jing's career, when the holy decree arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cai Jing seemed very calm, but Cai Jing was still very excited, especially when all the power fell into the hands of the eldest brother, it was even more a nest. Cai Jing stopped Cai Yan who wanted to make trouble in time, and respectfully thanked the emperor. Cai Jing is a smart person, he knows the truth of Mingzhe to protect himself, leaving Bianliang is also a good thing, on the one hand, he should enjoy the blessings of Qingfu when he is old, on the other hand, he doesn't know when the Jurchens fought the Yellow River, so it's better to leave and avoid it.
In one day, Cai Xiang, who used to be the most beautiful, fell, but the people of Bianliang were not too happy, because they were not only facing Cai Laohu, but also Jurchen barbarians. However, Wang Hao and Li Bangyan are still very happy, Cai Jing said goodbye to his hometown, and it should be their turn to be the prime minister, but not long after they were happy, they heard that the official family asked Cai You to temporarily act as Cai Jing's responsible government affairs, and the two of them almost didn't get angry.
In the past two days, Bianliang City was particularly unstable, first Cai Jing fell, the Jurchens went south, and then there was an explosive news that came out, when today's son Zhao Ji felt unwell and placed Zen in the crown prince Zhao Huan, succeeded to the throne on the twenty-ninth day of the month, and changed the year name to Jingkang.
Zen position, what a great feat, but when I heard the news, everyone smiled bitterly, which is also too hasty. Zhao Guan's family is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, will he feel unwell? Hey, the official family wants to temporarily throw the throne to the crown prince, so that the prince can lead the people of Bianliang to resist the Jurchens who may come at any time, as for the official family itself, find a reason to leave Bianliangbei.
When the holy decree was issued, Zhao Huan's face could not see the slightest joy, and when Yang Lian and the ministers left, he showed a little wicked smile, and muttered to himself, "Father, father, you look up to Haier so much, the child can't let you down." ”
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Zhao Huan came to the main hall, the whole ceremony was not grand, maybe it was a hurry, maybe it was Zhao Ji deliberately. But this is nothing to Zhao Huan, as long as he can ascend to that throne, the future affairs will not be something that others can control. Chinese martial arts, how many people really take Zhao Huan seriously?
Know, no one can afford him Zhao Huan, just look at the disdain in the eyes of these people, just wait, everyone here has to get out one by one, and none of Zhao Ji's people will be left. The throne, everyone desires, when he saw Zhao Huan walking towards the dragon chair step by step, Zhao Kai had mixed feelings in his heart, he was not convinced, he was not convinced at all, why did his father want to give up the throne to the imperial brother. The eldest brother is too incompetent, doesn't letting him be the emperor to give away the good fortune to others?
With the sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami, Zhao Ji stepped down from the throne, and another young man sat up. Jingkang is coming, but the word Jingkang is not glory, but humiliation, whoever becomes the emperor at this time, Jingkang's shame will be worn on whose head.
At the end of the cumbersome ceremony, Zhao Huan returned to the harem, and when he saw the new son of heaven, Chai Keyan didn't get up and didn't salute, but when today's son poured a cup of tea with his own hands and brought it to Chai Keyan, "Keyan, you're right, these people are looking forward to a certain family stepping down, and it's really their hearts to be punished." ”
Chai Keyan skimmed Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan's tone was a lot more excited today, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are now an official, you want to be called me, understand?" Rest assured, it doesn't matter what these people think, it's what you do! ”
Chai Keyan is not the slightest respect, what about the emperor, as long as she Chai Keyan is willing, Zhao Huan's throne will be replaced by Zhao Kai at any time, without her Chai Keyan and Heng Wangfu's support, where does Zhao Huan get the power? Zhao Huan didn't know how to be the emperor at all, and what she had to do was to borrow Zhao Huan's hand to create the situation she wanted. Let Zhao Huan sit down and whisper, "What you have to do now is first to establish your authority, let everyone know your cunning, and let everyone know that you are now the emperor." In addition, the official family cannot leave the capital, and if the official family leaves, Bianliang City will be finished. ”
"Ah" Zhao Huan can still understand the words in front, it is necessary to establish authority and control the officials of the imperial court first, but how to establish authority, and not let his father leave Beijing, this seems to be unlikely. Besides, didn't you leave your father in the capital to make trouble for yourself?
"But what's the point? If my father doesn't leave, how can I become this emperor? Zhao Huan looked at Chai Keyan with some suspicion, and always felt that Chai Keyan seemed to have an ulterior motive in his heart. Chai Keyan smiled, and he didn't care about Zhao Huan in general, "Stupid, when the Son of Heaven escapes from the capital, who do you expect to protect Bianliang, the morale is gone, there is nothing, do you want to be a son of heaven?" ”
"Hello, you have a point, but how can you stop him from leaving, I can't force him to stay, right?" Zhao Huan snorted angrily, he was really too lazy to think about it, he had become an emperor, and he had to face his father's face, how could he feel good?
Chai Keyan's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance and calmness, didn't he just stop Zhao Ji from leaving? It's really too simple, on the same day, there were a lot of rumors circulating in the market, some saying that the official family gave up the throne in order to escape for their lives, and at this time they had already led the palace concubines and belongings out of the palace. Others say that the official family has already surrendered to the Jurchens, and this time they left just to lure the Jurchens into Beijing.
How absurd the rumors are, but after all, there are still people who believe that the people don't care so much, at least one thing can be determined, and there will be no good things if the official family leaves Bianliang. So, at the instigation of some people, the people of Bianliang blocked the eight gates of Bianliang, and noisily asked the official Zhao Ji to stay. The people of Bianliang made a lot of trouble, which Zhao Ji and Cai You did not expect, and in the face of this situation, everyone was at a loss. At this moment, the new emperor Zhao Huan came to Bianhe Street, and in front of hundreds of people, the new emperor shouted righteously, "Most of the rumors in the market are misinformation, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he do that kind of escape, my children of the imperial family, should live and die with Bianliang!" If anyone dares to escape, the people of the Great Song Dynasty can share and eat it. ”
Zhao Huan's words were ruthless enough, he took Zhao Ji at once, helpless, Zhao Ji suffered a dumb loss, no matter what, is it against hundreds of thousands of angry Bianliang soldiers and civilians?
throne, suddenly Zhao Ji regretted it a little, he found that since Zhao Huan ascended the throne, the whole person has changed. (To be continued......)
