It is said that the rumors in Tokyo began on the fourth day of the first lunar month. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On that day, Zhang and Li returned to Tokyo, and ordered that the remaining officials of the various ministries who had not been taken by Zhao Huan to Mount Tai to watch the ceremony held a closed-door meeting in the military department. The tone of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty has always been lax, so the meeting was just over, and the news that Emperor Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji were captured, and that Wu Min had gone south to Huangzhou to ask Empress Dowager Zheng to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation also spread.

And somehow, along with this news, the general Huang Tianba of Shangzhu State (a misinformation of Huang Jiedao's name Huang Tianba) who had been "killed five times in a row" under Tokyo City naturally had to return to Beijing with Empress Taishang.

Because some time ago, the excerpts about "Huang Tianba" were very marketable in Tokyo, so the people of Tokyo knew about this legendary character, and judging from the news that the second emperor was captured, and the kings and the Zhao clan were also wiped out, it is no wonder that some people will analyze that Huang Jie came to Beijing at this time, or has some "not minister" moves.

It must be known that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Zhao family also knew the truth of "defending the people's mouth, more than preventing Sichuan", so there was no way to control public opinion. And after arriving at Shenzong, dramas such as the "Heroes Meeting" (that is, Song Taizu's cup of wine to release the military power) and "Spot Inspection to be the Son of Heaven" (that is, the Chenqiao Mutiny) can also be openly staged, and you will know how unrestrained the folk customs of the Great Song Dynasty are.

For a time, the streets and alleys will inevitably compare the actions of Zhao Ji and his son with the legendary "Huang Tianba", although this "Huang Tianba" is a Taoist priest, but what he does is commendable, and the piles are pointable: he first has the ability of gods and ghosts, can make thunder law, and will fly away; secondly, they can repair houses and roads, and they can also build heavenly canals and fountains; is also good at people's livelihood and trade, can make canned meat, and can open the Yellow Building, even a bowl of Huangzhou ramen can also be made in all kinds of ways; It is a peerless military general who is not born, and the force value is so high that it breaks through the sky, and the realistic version of "taking the head of the enemy general in a million army is like probing for things"; is still a person favored by God, not only married the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, but also abducted the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, a mortal enemy, and became a concubine.

The most important thing is that the last time Tokyo was besieged by hundreds of thousands of Jin troops, he actually dared to come to the rescue alone, and even dragged the rebel army to beat the Jin army so that he couldn't find the north, and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies in the battle under Linqing City.

When most of the facts are combined with the jokes that are not particularly exaggerated, there is a different interpretation of Huang Jie's behavior of escorting the Empress Dowager Zheng to the north this time, and it is really no wonder that others are no wonder.

In this regard, Huang Jie was really speechless in addition to smiling bitterly.

However, the next development of events exceeded everyone's expectations, and it was also said that when Zong Zezheng and Huang Jie were talking about the accident in Tokyo, Zhang Bangchang said to the Empress Dowager Zheng: "Empress Taishang's return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation is the right way, but it is not suitable for the concubine to return to Beijing, I hope the Empress Dowager will decide!" ”

Empress Dowager Zheng was stunned when she heard this, but she also said sharply: "The prime minister's words are wrong!" If the horse does not escort the mother and daughter of the mourning family back to Beijing, what is the use of the mourning family going to Tokyo? ”

Zhang Bangchang was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Empress Taishang is worried, and the courtiers in Beijing dare to be disrespectful?" ”

Empress Dowager Zheng sneered and said: "The last time I was the king of the horse, I dared not to enter the city with the horse, what is the way to say it now?" Zhang Zineng Zhang Shilang, but the mourning family came to ask you, but there is already a choice for the new king? ”

Zhang Bangchang could only say nothing about the former question, and he couldn't answer the latter question, so he had to say truthfully: "There are two candidates, one is after Taizong, named Zhao Ada, who is twenty-eight years old, and now he is a businessman in Washi City, Bianhe Shuimen. One is the heir of the ninth son of Zhao Yun, the king of Pu, named Zhao Shishang, only nine years old, and his widowed mother lived in Yanglou Street in the east of the city, and his mother made a living by weaving. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng sneered a few times when she heard this, but she didn't expect that Zhao Huan didn't know what was crazy, and in order to eliminate future troubles, she took all the blood relatives of the Zhao family clan to Mount Tai, so that after the death now, the blood relatives who can be found are actually such goods.

Immediately, the Empress Dowager Zheng also ordered someone to exchange for Zong Ze and Huang Jie, and called out Zhao Fujin, and Zong and Zhang said: "This time the mourning family returned to Beijing, and the horse contributed a lot. If you don't enter the city with the horse, the mourning family will return to Huangzhou with the horse! ”

Zong Ze and Zhang Bangchang were shocked when they heard this, and the old Zong Ze was busy persuading, but Zhang Bangchang was sweating profusely and muttering, and at this time, Wu Min was busy and came out to turn around, willing to return to Beijing with Zhang Bangchang to persuade the ministers of the court. With Wu Minyuan, the situation also eased down, and Zong Ze was immediately left to accompany him in Yingchang Mansion, while Wu Min and Zhang Bangchang quickly returned to Tokyo to coordinate the matter.

Since he couldn't enter Tokyo for a while, the team stopped outside Yingchang Mansion again, and although Lao Zongze nominally stayed with Empress Taishang, he actually followed Huang Jie and constantly tested Huang Jie's intentions.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the first lunar month, it was a flying delivery from the Hebei army that rushed to Yingchang Mansion in front of Wu Min and others, who were returning from Tokyo to meet them: according to the report of the seed master Dao army, the Jin army had been divided into three routes, leaving the Song realm from the direction of Shuozhou, Yingzhou and Wuzhou, and the Song army's interception was declared a failure.

And the news that shocked everyone even more was that on the border of Song and Jin, the Song army's pursuit force had recovered a lot of captured clan members, but all of them were already dead, and the currently known blood relatives who died were seven young princes, eleven emperors and four concubines, and more than 100 clan relatives were killed, all of whom were old or naïve.

It should also be because of the pursuit of the Song army, and the Jin army disliked these people with burdens, so they abandoned them on the spot to reduce the burden.

In view of this, Wu Min and others hurried to Yingchang Mansion to welcome Empress Dowager Zheng into Beijing quickly, and the ministers in Tokyo naturally did not dare to oppose Huang Jie's entry into the city with Empress Dowager Zheng.

Therefore, the team returning to Beijing set off immediately on the afternoon of the ninth day of the first lunar month, rushed to Tokyo day and night, and also came to the Nanxun Gate in the southern city of Bianliang on the afternoon of the eleventh day of the first lunar month.

And when Huang Jie and his entourage slowly arrived at the place ten miles outside the Nanxun Gate, what surprised people was to find that in front of the Nanxun Gate City, the two Song armies were facing each other in a formation full of swords and guns, and there were bursts of shouts and killings from time to time in the formation.

Surprised, Huang Jie hurriedly ordered someone to investigate, but the news he got was that one of the two Song armies in front of the city was the imperial car army, which was in a position to intercept at the Nanxun Gate, and the other was to support the sun and the dragon guard, and they were putting on a posture of wanting to attack the city, and the big banner in front of the formation was the words Geng and Tang.

Surprised, Huang Jie hurriedly ordered 2,000 Huangzhou guards in front and 6,000 Xinyang troops behind, and slowly marched towards Nanxunmen in a fighting posture.
