But it was said that Zhao Xu returned to the palace, and Qinzong hurriedly summoned him, and when he saw that he was the only one who came back, he asked anxiously: "Why did you return alone?" What about He Li, Sun Fu, and Huang Shang? Zhao Xu cried: "Just because the emperor did not go to negotiate peace, the Jin people saw through Huang Shang's plan to negotiate peace, and immediately became angry, detained three, and the god's brother came back alone to deliver the message, if you want to negotiate peace, please ask the emperor to go, if there is peace next time, it is not the emperor who goes, no matter who goes, it will be detained as a hostage." ”

Qin Zong was stunned, he didn't expect Jin Ren to be so unreasonable, and he couldn't speak for a while. Su Yuanjing said: "Since the strategy has been discovered, it is impossible, but Your Majesty or the Emperor must not go to the Golden Camp!" At present, there are righteous troops guarding the intersections of the capital, and the forbidden army can be sent to assist in the defense, and as soon as the army and horses on Shandong Road arrive, the siege can be lifted! ”

Zhao Xu said with a sad face: "When I came back, I saw that the Jin people carried all the catapults they built to the city walls, and the catapults originally used by our forbidden army were also at the head of the city. The marshal of the Jin Kingdom said that if the emperor did not come to negotiate peace tomorrow, he would teach the trebuchet on the head of the city to send ten thousand stones together, and Kaifeng City would definitely be dusty. ”

Su Yuanjing gasped when he heard this, after he took over the forbidden army, he already knew how many trebuchets, bed crossbows, etc. were left on the city when the forbidden army retreated, if these sharp weapons were transferred by the Jin people to open the seal, I was afraid that no matter how many rebels in the city were, it would be useless.

Sure enough, Zhao Xu had just finished speaking, and Wang Yan, the general of the forbidden army, came to report, saying that the spies of the forbidden army had investigated and understood that the Jin army had erected many trebuchets at the head of the city and the bed crossbows abandoned by the Song army, and there were no less than 5,000 of them.

Hearing this, Qinzong sat down on the dragon chair in despair, Su Yuanjing also looked miserable, once the Jin people really used trebuchets, bed crossbows and other sharp weapons to condescend and bombard the city, no matter how many rebels in the city there were, it would be useless. Today's Kaifeng City is like a turtle in an urn, and the Jin people occupy the outer city on all sides, and they can start at any time.

Su Yuanjing was thinking quickly in his mind, what way could he break the game? If you want to destroy the trebuchet and bed crossbow on the city, you have to attack the city, but even if the rebels and the forbidden army in the city are not the opponents of the Jinren, you must know that the Jinren on the city wall are heavily garrisoned. The only way to do this is to rely on foreign aid. Thinking of foreign aid, he thought of Sanniang's Shandong Road army and horses, Su Yuanjing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, there are also Shandong Road military horses, as long as her military horses come and storm the Jin army camp outside the city, the Jin people will inevitably move outside the city, and the siege can also be lifted." ”

Zhao Xu cried: "Then there are only 30,000 military horses in the capital here, how can they defeat the 400,000 Jin army?" Su Yuanjing said: "Hu Xuanfu enables a good battle, even if there are only 30,000 horses, he can break the enemy." ”

While he was talking, there was a messenger from the city to Dongduan County who sent a decree to the forbidden army to come back, and the upper hall said urgently: "After the Shandong Luhu Xuanfu envoy received the decree, he had already sent an order to raise troops to march westward, but there was news that the court and the Jin people were discussing peace, and the generals were indignant and unwilling to negotiate peace. If they want to be diligent to the king, they cannot negotiate peace with the Jinren, and if they want to negotiate peace, they will wait for the results of the peace negotiation, and then they will make a decision. ”

When Su Yuanjing heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court must not fight and be uncertain again, and the soldiers of the three armies must be taught to make up their minds, and the imperial court must be determined to fight the Jin people to the end. ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he hurriedly said: "If the road to peace is cut off, then the Shandong Road army and horses can't defeat the Jin people, so what should we do with Kaifeng City?" What about the imperial court? What about Your Majesty? Su Yuanjing did not show weakness, and stepped forward and said: "You must know that Hu Xuanfu made the enemy with few enemies back then, invincible in the field, and even more tired of defeating the Jin people, how could he not defeat the Jin people?" ”

The two factions of ministers soon divided into two factions, where quarrels arose, and Qinzong was bored with what he heard, and finally walked away. Turning to the outside of the hall, he saw that Emperor Daojun had brought a few chamberlains to stand there, and Qin Zong stepped forward to salute and asked, "Why is my father here?" ”

Emperor Daojun sighed and said: "I have heard of the court ceremony in the Zichen Palace, Emperor, now the ministers have mistaken my father and son, and they must no longer entrust important matters to others, everything must be in their own hands." Even if the Shandong Road Army and Horse are relieved, what can they do? After the military horses of the feudal town entered Beijing, there were so many righteous troops in the city, will this world still be my Zhao Song Jiangshan? ”

Qin Zong bowed his head slightly and said, "What my father said is true." Emperor Daojun said: "It's better to fight now, and hope that the Jin people can keep their promises, although the father is old, but the Jin camp still goes, the emperor will be at ease in the city, and the father will go out of the city to negotiate peace with the Jin people." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Daojun burst into tears and cried: "Emperor, among these many sons, your father loves you the most, you are so good to be an emperor, when the agreement is completed, you must listen to your father's words, move the capital to the south as soon as possible, and the Jin people must cede all the land north of the Yellow River this time before they can stop." Don't pay attention to your father, you will govern the country well, and your father and your mother will love you in vain. ”

Emperor Daojun cried like this, it really seemed to be sincere, Qinzong was not ashamed, as a son of man, how could there be a reason to let the old father take risks? What's more, he is the king of a country, and he couldn't help but say at the moment: "Father, don't say that, the child will go to Jinying to negotiate peace in person, the father has abdicated, and the society and the world should be protected by the child." At that moment, he ordered someone to send Emperor Daojun back, and then turned around and went back to Zichen Palace.

Returning to the palace, Qinzong ignored the opposition of Su Yuanjing and other ministers, and announced in public that he would go to Jinying to negotiate peace instead of Emperor Taishang. Qi King Zhao Xu and others were all relieved, but Su Yuanjing and others were crying and worshipping on the ground, and they couldn't afford it for a long time.

In the first year of Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty, at dawn on the 30th day of the 11th month of the leap month, after Song Qinzong was ready to stop, Su Yuanjing and other ministers were waiting outside the palace. ”

Seeing that there were still seven or eight ministers who were so loyal, Qin Zong sighed in his heart, stepped forward and personally helped them up one by one and said: "Okay, with the company of the Qing family, I am not afraid of that golden man!" Wang Yan, the general of the forbidden army, stepped forward and personally ordered three hundred military horses to escort him, but Su Yuanjing stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, General Wang is responsible for leading the forbidden army, and if you want to guard the imperial city, you don't have to go with me. ”

Qinzong immediately allowed it and ordered Wang Yan to stay and lead the forbidden army to guard the imperial city, and there were still emperors, clansmen, emperors, concubines and other palace dependents in the imperial city. Wang Yan also knew that it didn't make much sense for him to go to Jinying, and he didn't bother to look at the groveling peace, so he was ordered to stay.

So Qinzong led Su Yuanjing and other ministers to the Jinying, and the guards only brought more than ten people. At this time, it was still early, many soldiers and civilians were still sleeping, Qinzong and his entourage arrived at the entrance of Beimen Street, where there were still hundreds of volunteers on duty to guard the street, and when they heard that the emperor Luan drove out of the city to discuss peace, they all got up silently, and watched the emperor go out of the city with dull eyes. The north wind was bleak, and the people of the righteous army saw that the emperor only sat on a sedan chair, and the rest of the ministers followed him, and there were only a few dozen guards, all of whom felt sad, and never thought that the emperor would personally go out of the city to surrender to negotiate peace.

When Qinzong and others arrived at the edge of the city, they were caught by their own Jin army horses, and after asking about their intentions, the former army general immediately ordered a team of Jin troops to escort them to the Jin camp, and sent people to report to Zongwang. In Jinying, after hearing the news, Zong Wang laughed and said: "The emperor of the Song State has taken the bait, with his emperor in hand, if we want land, they have to give land, if they want gold and silver, they have to give gold and silver, and if they want any woman, they don't have to rob it, they will send it obediently!" ”

When Guo Yaoshi heard this, he congratulated him: "Marshal Hexi has finally achieved great success, and the land of the Southern Dynasty is all in my big gold bag." After Zong Wang was happy for a while, he paced back and forth a few steps, and said slowly: "After the Emperor of the Song Kingdom came, I didn't see him first, first sharpened his sharpness and temperament, and waited until his courage was gone, so that he could knead it." "Guo Yaoshi and other generals are all praising Zongwang and calculating.

Sure enough, after Qinzong and his party arrived at Jinying, Zong Wang, the commander of the Jin army, sent someone to pass the word, saying that he would not meet him, and Zong Wangyan said that he wanted Emperor Daojun to come to negotiate peace, not to Qinzong.

Qinzong originally came with a warm blood at the beginning, and the emperor's shelf was still there, and he didn't lose his bearing, but he didn't want people to meet you, and most of his momentum was suddenly leaked, and he was anxious to reply to the golden people, saying that the emperor was too frightened and riddled with diseases, and Qinzong himself came to discuss and discuss peace matters.

After returning to the ceremony, an hour later, the monarchs and ministers of the Song State were impatient to wait in the partial tent, and someone came to reply, saying that since the emperor was too sick, the emperor of the Song State came in person, then it was enough, since he came to negotiate peace, it was on behalf of the defeat and surrender of the Song State, and if he wanted to negotiate peace, he first had to offer a surrender table to Qinzong, otherwise he could not open the peace negotiation.

Qinzong's temperament was almost worn at this time, seeing that the Jin people had a tough attitude, Su Yuanjing stepped forward to theorize a few words, and was punched a few times, which immediately frightened Qinzong without arrogance and emperor figure.

At that time, Qinzong did not dare to disobey the will of the Jin people, and hurriedly ordered the accompanying ministers to write a table of surrender and offer. But I don't want to offer the table, half an hour later, the Jin people came to reply, saying that the table is not gorgeous, the Song people are based on the country, the article should be written very neatly, and the order must be written with four or six pairs of sentences.

The momentum of the emperor of Qinzong has disappeared without a trace, and he is forced to say that the matter has come to this point, and there is no need to care about the rest. The accompanying minister Sun Mo repeatedly considered and changed it four times before he was satisfied with the Jin people.

The gist of the surrender is nothing more than bowing down to Kim, begging for forgiveness, and being extremely servile. After presenting the table, the Jin people proposed to ask the Emperor Taishang to come, and Song Qinzong pleaded bitterly, but the Jin people no longer insisted. Then, the Jin people set up an incense case to the north in the camp, so that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty faced the north and worshipped, and read out the surrender table with the courtesy. At that time, the wind and snow were blowing, and the monarchs and ministers of Song Qinzong were humiliated by this, and they all secretly wept. After the surrender ceremony was completed, the Jin people were satisfied, and said that the surrender was completed today, and negotiations for peace would begin tomorrow.
