Chapter 227: Zong Ze's petition
Before the start of the war, no one could have predicted that Yue Fei and those rabble would be able to win so neatly and achieve such a significant result.
In the shadow of Jingkang's shame, the people of the Song Dynasty, the court officials, and even Zong Ze did not have much hope for Yue Fei and the rabble who had just returned to obedience.
As long as they can hold the city and prevent the Jin soldiers from bullying the Song people again, they are already Amitabha.
Therefore, when the news of the Song army's victory came out, and when more and more news of the state capital being recovered, the first thing to encounter was doubts from all sides.
Real gold is not afraid of red furnace fire, when all kinds of facts are displayed one by one, the territory of the Song Dynasty is jubilant.
Of course, it is also a city that is calm as usual. This city is the temporary capital of Emperor Gaozong's current temporary residence - Nanjing Yingtianfu
This successive victories not only enhanced the morale of the Song army and the prestige of the Bianliang City army, but more importantly, greatly broadened the source of financial revenue of Bianliang City in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Not long after the people in Bianliang City suffered a catastrophe, their vitality had not yet recovered, and Zong Ze was unwilling to levy more taxes, so financial and military expenditures have always been stretched.
Now the number of cities under control has increased a lot, and these cities have food and salary supplies left by the Jin State, although they were divided by the rebels such as Wang Shan, the hornless ox Yang Jin, etc., but the total amount collected is still considerable.
In other words, the old handsome Zong Ze no longer has to worry about money, silver, grain and grass.
With money, you have enough confidence. The old marshal Zongze immediately launched the defense construction of Bianliang City. and the preliminary preparations for the attack on the Kingdom of Jin.
Zong Ze's goal is not just to protect Bianliang City. Instead, he wanted to fight to the Jin Kingdom, welcome back the two emperors of the previous dynasty, Huizong and Qinzong, and wash away the national shame.
At the same time, Zong Ze began to write letters to Emperor Gaozong, who was far away in Yingtianfu, Nanjing.
Of course, the purpose of the old marshal Zongze's petition was not to appeal personal grievances, but to urge Emperor Gaozong to move the capital from Yingtianfu back to Bianliang City, and then send troops to the Jin State. Welcome back the Second Emperor.
Zong Ze's first petition letter to Emperor Gaozong. History of the Song Dynasty. There is such a record in the Biography of Zong Ze:
"Ze Shang said: 'Kaifeng price market, gradually the same as usual. Soldiers, peasants, merchants, and scholars are loyal and righteous, and they do not want His Majesty to return to Beijing to comfort people's hearts. He sings as a dissenter, not for His Majesty's loyalty, but for Zhang Bangchang's generation, Yin and Jin are artificially dier. ’”
In just a few months, under the rule of Zong Ze, the ruined Bianliang City gradually recovered.
The law and order are good. Prices have fallen, and the hearts of the people in the city have reunited; Suppose Emperor Gaozong is willing to move back to the old capital. Now is a good time.
To Zong Ze's disappointment, the letter was like a mud cow in water, and there was no response.
When Yue Fei brought back the main force of the rebel army from the Daimyo's Mansion, Zong Ze wrote a second letter to Emperor Gaozong.
History of the Song Dynasty. There is such a record in the Biography of Zong Ze: "Ze Shishi Hebei is also returned, and Shang Shu said: 'Your Majesty is still in the southern capital, and the road is registered, and you think that Your Majesty is under the temple of the imperial court, so that the society is helpless, and the living beings are disrespected. His Majesty should return to Bianjing urgently to comfort Yuan Yuan's heart. ’”
In fact, there is only one sentence in this letter: "Don't you even give up your ancestral tablet?" ”
The Chinese pay the most attention to filial piety, and the so-called hundred lines take filial piety first. As a Chinese emperor, he naturally needs to set an example in this regard.
This time, Zong Ze wanted to use the old Zhao family's temple and ancestral tablet as a reason to impress Emperor Gaozong's strong and forbearant heart. It is also well-intentioned.
Regarding Zong Ze's second letter, Emperor Gaozong's response was only four words: "Ignore it." ”
Zong Ze is arrogant and iron-clad. To put it bluntly, he is a person with a brain that rushes to the end and never looks back.
Seeing that Emperor Gaozong did not respond, Zong Ze sent his third petitioning letter. In the History of the Song Dynasty. There is such a record in the Biography of Zong Ze:
(Ze) replied to the words: "The country has a good relationship with the golden people, and wants to soothe the people, and the robbery and robbery of the pawn are not enough, and the results of the peace negotiation are not enough to appease the people." At that time, there were those who were willing to follow the will to talk about the rich and noble, and there were also those who did not follow each other and were punished. Looking at it, what did the rich and noble people do in the past? What is the guilty? The words of today are fortunate, and the words and discussions of the past are also feasible; Those who cannot move the words of today are as good as those who cannot make peace with the words of the day before yesterday. But His Majesty thought carefully and used it. And the foundation accumulated by the Beijing division for 200 years, His Majesty had no choice but to abandon it to leave the enemy country. ”
Zong Ze's words in the letter were very tactful, but the meaning was extremely harsh. Zong Ze said, don't think that if you don't provoke the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom will not send people to attack you; Since you have to fight both horizontally and vertically, it's better to strike first!
The first letter talks about the economy and people's livelihood, the second letter talks about filial piety, and the third letter talks about the situation. Zong Ze's petition offensive has been wave after wave, and the impact has continued.
Even so, Emperor Gaozong, who was in Yingtianfu in Nanjing, was still unmoved. Today's Emperor Gaozong is no better than the original King Kang Zhao Gou, and his skin is thick, and he has reached the level of salt and oil.
Soon, Zong Ze found another opportunity, because Emperor Gaozong issued an edict and sent officials to Kaifeng Mansion to bring all the remaining people in the six palaces back to Jinling.
So, Zong Ze wrote a fourth petition letter and handed it to Qincha; I asked him to deliver the letter to Emperor Gaozong in person.
In the History of the Song Dynasty. There is such a record in the Biography of Zong Ze:
The edict sent the official to welcome the six palaces to Jinling, and Zeshang said: "Jingshi, the heart of the world." Although the two rivers have not been settled, they do not believe in one arm. If you want to go now, you are not the only one who is the only one, and she will abandon it with her heart. In the past, Jingde, Khitan Kou Yuanyuan, Wang Qinruo Jiangnan people, that is, persuaded Jinling, Chen Yaosuo Shu people, that is, persuaded Chengdu, but Kou Zhun resolutely asked for a personal conscription, and the death was successful. How dare the minister look at Kou Zhun, but he doesn't dare not look at His Majesty with the chapter saint. ”
In this letter, Zong Ze changed his strategy and told Emperor Gaozong about history.
Zong Ze tried to take advantage of the case of Song Zhenzong's insistence on resisting Liao and finally winning the victory, and persuaded Emperor Gaozong that surrender would not end well, and only by persisting in the war of resistance could he finally achieve a positive result.
It's a pity that for the old handsome Zongze's bitter words and persuasion, he did not get any response from Emperor Gaozong.
For Emperor Gaozong's inaction, the historians of the Song Dynasty found several scapegoats for the emperor, including Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and other advisers around Gaozong.
In the History of the Song Dynasty. Zong Ze Biography recorded this: There are five things in another article, one of which is Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan praise Nan Xingzhi. Ze suggested before and after, through the three provinces and the Privy Council, he was suppressed by the hidden goodness, and every time he saw Ze's sparseness, he laughed and thought it was crazy.
The historian believed that it was Huang Qianshan and other traitors who withheld Zong Ze's petition letter and did not report it to Emperor Gaozong.
This situation is actually impossible to happen, because the chief Dazai who assisted Emperor Gaozong at that time was Li Gang, who was the main battle faction, and Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others did not have the right to suppress Zong Ze's twists.
Zong Ze looked forward to the autumn water, and never looked forward to the holy decree of Emperor Gaozong, but received the news that the Jin soldiers had invaded Kou south again
Wanyan Wushu sent 10,000 Jin soldiers into the Song Dynasty, which was menacing, but only a few people such as the commander Su Shi Lie Zhining fled back to the Jin Kingdom, which can be called a complete defeat.
Such a result was completely unacceptable to the people of the Jin State and the gold lord Wu Qimai.
As a result, three months later, that is, in December of the first year of Jianyan, Jin Guo once again poured troops from all over the country, divided into three routes, and went straight to Bianliang City in Tokyo.
Because of Wanyan's mistakes, this time the commander of the Jin soldiers was replaced by the eldest prince Wanyan Stickyhan, but in exchange for it, it was still the brothers of the Wanyan family who were presiding over the military and political affairs.
At this time, it happened to be the first anniversary of Jingkang's shame...... (To be continued......)
