Tokyo Bianliang, Kaifeng Mansion, Great Song Taimiao

A heavy courtyard, a palace, up to hundreds of trees. It is the largest complex of buildings in Tokyo outside of the Imperial Castle.

Today, the Great Song Taimiao hidden in the wind and snow is particularly solemn.

Thousands of tall guards stood guard inside and outside the temple. Everyone wore the best armor on their bodies, the fine iron and heavy armor were polished, and the bright red hairpins swayed in the wind on the helmets. The soldiers' straight waists are more striking than their armor, swords, and guns.

In the temple, drums are playing in unison. Chimes, jade Xuan, Huang Zhong Da Lu's court music, has been spread a few streets away.

-- After all the Jin soldiers besieging Bianliang were wiped out, the first thing that Emperor Zhao Huan thought of was to worship the Taimiao, give the ancestors an incense, worship a few times, and then send some cattle, sheep and pigs, and by the way, show off his great martial arts to the ancestors, and sweep away the grievances and bad luck since he ascended the throne.

Therefore, at this time, he finally took off the tights suit of the person he had refused to leave in recent days, and put on a set of "big tiara" in black and red clothes for the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven, and the crown on his head was not the fashionable style of the Song people, but hung with twelve strings of bright beads, specifically. It is the so-called "Twelve Diades" in "Zhou Li"...... These are the imperial costumes of the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, and they have been completely eliminated in the Song Dynasty.

Accompanied by the melodious court music, Zhao Huan entered first, a group of princes and grandsons of the Zhao family followed closely behind, and the civil and military ministers also lined up their shifts, and 6 continued to enter. As soon as they entered the main courtyard, the gate opened in front of them, and from the inside of the door, they could see that the deepest Mingtang Hall was half a mile away.

The Ming Hall is where the spiritual seat of the successive Sons of Heaven is located, and the courtiers and the gods of the clan who are worthy of the Taimiao are placed in the side compartments on both sides. At present, this Ming Hall that was rebuilt by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong spent a lot of money, is as wide as 12 zhang, and has a large hall of more than 6 zhang high, with heavy eaves and arches, the gables are towering, and the bright yellow glazed tiles are shining. The front door is also more than two feet high, and the heavy beech wood door panels are painted red, and the brass door nails on them are polished one by one.

The sacrificial Shao music is one after another, according to the etiquette, all are not repeated, and all the twenty-four scheduled repertoire must be played in one round, not to mention half a day's effort. In this elegant music, Emperor Zhao Huan of Qinzong walked through a series of portals and walked step by step to the front of the Mingtang Hall. The heavy blue-black coat and the yellow and red clothes inside are embroidered with twelve patterns such as the sun, moon and stars, symbolizing the end of heaven and earth and all things with you. With his steps, the twelve bead strings on the crown shook gently, but the long-trained imperial demeanor kept the beads shaking as small as possible.

The door of the Ming Hall is open, showing a qiē in the hall in front of everyone's eyes, and on the five-zhang wide offering case in the middle of the Ming Hall, the seven gods and spirits of the ancestors of the Zhao family are lined up: Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Taizong Zhao Guangyi, Zhenzong Zhao Heng, Renzong Zhao Zhen, Yingzong Zhao Shu, Shenzong Zhao Xuan and Zhezong Zhao Xu...... The next Emperor Huizong is now being confined in the deep palace, and he is not allowed to enter or leave.

Standing in front of the door, looking at the sandalwood god cards that were several feet high on the offering, Zhao Huan couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

-- It has only been a short year since he ascended the throne, and the turmoil and turmoil he has experienced have made people feel like a world away.

It has only been a little more than a year since Jin Yu entered the palace and the emperor lost his position, but in the eyes of Bianliang Junchen, it seems that he has been suffering in the sea of bitterness for a lifetime. The fertile soil of the Central Plains, which had not been affected by the war for more than 100 years, became the center of the whirlpool of war in this year, and almost all the military forces of the Great Song Dynasty were lost in this tragic meat grinder, and millions of Li people were ruined and killed.

The calamities suffered by the people of the Great Song Dynasty in this year were more than ten times greater than in the previous 100 years combined!

However, this maddening nightmare has finally come to an end.

Although hundreds of prefectures and counties in Henan and Hebei are still dilapidated, although the vast Central Plains is still full of ruins and scorched earth, although Hebei and Hedong have been swarmed by thieves, although the nominal supreme commander of the Southern Expedition of the Jin State, Wanyan Xianye, still has a powerful field army in Yanjing...... However, after the main force of the 150,000 Jin Dynasty and a large number of Jurchen warriors were completely wiped out under Bianliang City, the great reversal of the Song and Jin war situation was quietly doomed.

-- The Jurchen Wanyan tribe, which established the Jin State, was originally just a small tribe with only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and its knowledge and connections were very poor. Although after Yan Agu raised an army against Liao, he was like a divine help, and a large empire with a territory of thousands of miles was established in just over ten years, but after all, the foundation is shallow and the foundation is unstable, and it is almost all dependent on the war myth of "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible", so that they can barely suppress the resistance of various tribes.

And how many soldiers and horses did the Jurchens have at this time? It's pitiful, even if all Ding Zhuang is levied, it will only be 60,000 people.

Therefore, after losing most of the descendant troops in an instant, this superficially glamorous Dajin Kingdom is tantamount to falling to the brink of destruction!

Of course, Zhao Huan at this time did not have such a clear strategic insight, but he was just glad that the ancestors and ancestors blessed him and the Great Song Dynasty escaped again.

- He walked to the table, knelt on the ground, knelt three times and bowed nine times, bowed as if it were a ritual, and then got up and read aloud the prayer carefully drafted by the attendants of the Hanlin Academy, and then the prayer was burned little by little by the candle flame, and the embers were swept away by the wind in an instant.

Although a large part of the country is still falling, and although the flames are far from subsided, at the very least, the society of the Great Song Dynasty has barely survived......

In Zhao Huan's mind, he could at least quietly breathe a sigh of relief and think that he was worthy of his ancestors.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Just when Emperor Zhao Huan temporarily suspended the court meeting and went to worship the ancestors and ancestors, the court officials did not have time to spare.

At this time, it has been nearly a year, and the land of the Central Plains is snowing again. Compared to last month's blizzard, the snow is much lighter now. However, the old snow has not melted, and the new snow has arrived, which makes Prime Minister He Su's head much whiter.

-- It has never been an easy task to dominate the dynasty and dominate the world, let alone at this sad time when the country is broken.

With the fall of the Jin soldiers, Bianliang's communication with the outside world was also restored. Before the court officials in the besieged city had time to celebrate their celebrations, they were dazed by a series of bad news -- after a few months of war, the imperial treasury was empty, the price of grain in the capital had risen to the sky, and the people in the market were crying bitterly. However, the Bianhe River has long been frozen, and the grain and rice in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be imported into Beijing by water before the beginning of spring. As for the 6-way ...... Hehe, the huge cost of thousands of miles of transshipment is simply unbearable with the financial resources of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, although the imperial treasury is scarce, in the mansions of those nobles and grain merchants in Beijing, there are mountains of rice, wheat and beans, but if the imperial court wants to get a little out of their hands, it will be really difficult...... People were originally looking forward to making the price of grain rise to the sky, so that they could make a lot of money, who knew that the seemingly fierce Jin soldiers were annihilated so quickly, which has made these heartless magnates dissatisfied, if He Su still wants to use administrative means to force them to open warehouses and release grain, believe it or not, they will immediately be able to mobilize civil and military officials, and force the emperor to change the prime minister?

To add insult to injury, with the destruction of the Jin soldiers in the southern expedition and the restoration of the smooth roads, hungry people from all directions are also pouring into the capital in a steady stream - in the current suburbs of Bianliang, the villages and towns where the Jin camp is located have been burned to the ground naked by the "artifact" of Guo Daxian's people, not to mention crops, people and animals, even cockroaches and fleas do not want to survive. And a little farther away, from Luoyang, Zhengzhou to Bianliang, all of them were ravaged by the hooves of the Jurchen iron horse, and almost half of the crops in the Central Plains were not to be counted on. As for Hebei and Hedong, which were repeatedly ravaged by the Jin soldiers, it was even more Xiuti.

In desperation, these people of the Great Song Dynasty all turned their expectant eyes to Bianliang, hoping to find a way to live at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

However, the food supply of Jingshi was already extremely tight, and now that there are so many mouths waiting to be fed, it will add even more chaos...... Seeing that the grain grabbing riot was about to touch, Prime Minister He Su's mood couldn't get better.

He was also worried about the large number of so-called "rebel armies" active in hundreds of prefectures and counties in Henan and Hebei -- these "rebel armies" were composed mainly of Song soldiers who had been defeated and fled, poor refugees who had risen up, and local heroes with great ambitions. Most of these "righteous troops" were "energetic social groups" that "claimed to be righteous soldiers, but were actually bandits", although they basically did not have the courage to resist the Jin soldiers, but they were very good at burning, killing, plundering, and harming the people, which not only caused the people of the Central Plains under the iron hooves of the Jurchens to suffer two more crimes, but also posed a serious threat to the ruling order of the Great Song Dynasty.

According to the mature experience of the past hundred years, the imperial court should recruit those rebel army leaders as officials, and the troops should be organized into the Xiang army to prevent them from causing chaos. But this costs a lot of money, and the imperial court is currently short of money to the extreme, and it can't even afford the ceremony of worshipping the heavens in the southern suburbs.

-- The so-called southern suburbs worship the sky, and the northern suburbs worship the ground. According to the weekly rites, on the winter solstice every year, the Son of Heaven has to go to the southern suburbs to worship Haotian God in order to seek peace in the world. However, because the cost of suburban worship was too high, even the consumption with rewards often cost millions of guan, so the Song Dynasty generally sacrificed once every three years or more. Now that Tokyo Bianliang has turned from danger to safety, a catastrophe has disappeared invisibly, Emperor Zhao Huan, who has not held a suburban sacrifice since he ascended the throne, is not only happy, but of course wants to say goodbye to the heavens, in order to show that he is still doing a good job as an emperor.

But the problem is that with the current situation that the Bianliang Mansion Treasury is so empty that it can run rats, it really can't tolerate the emperor to be so extravagant and wasteful...... So, He Su and Qin Hui had to bite the bullet and say something good to the emperor, and finally shrunk the southern suburbs to worship the Taimiao, saving this cost.

But how do we raise money and food to help the refugees and repair the city......

Of course, compared with the myriad chores, there is a bigger hidden danger at the moment, which is weighing heavily on the hearts of every court official.

He Su sighed, raised his head from behind the tall pile of papers, and looked blankly at the northeast of Bianliang City.

There is Gen Yue, the royal garden where Guo Jing, the protector of the country, is currently stationed.

The immortal Taoism that used to be just a legend and story has now become an ironclad shocking fact.

The millions of citizens of Bianliang, Tokyo, will never forget the raging fire that burned the gold and reached the sky a few days ago.

As a result, all the traditional Confucian scholars and doctors who claimed to "worship ghosts and gods and stay away" fell into unprecedented confusion and panic.

- True immortals descend into the world, the Tao is through the gods, and the world is destroyed in one blow......

This earth-shattering upheaval in the human world, for the current stormy Song Dynasty, is it a curse or a blessing?
