But if Zhang Jue is not accepted, the problem is also very serious. Because he has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, he is in the heart of Shannan, and if he unites with Xiao Gan in the north, it will become a major hidden danger in the Northern Song Dynasty. Even if the Jin State finally defeated Zhang Jue, then Pingzhou would still be a sharp knife inserted into the hinterland of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the whole country could attack the Northern Song Dynasty from here at any time. At the beginning, Zhao Liangsi begged for a bone fight, just to get the three states of Yingping Luan, but now the three states are in front of him, which can not be missed. Wang Anzhong didn't dare to make a decision privately, so he had to send Li Anbi and Gao Dang sent by Zhang Jue to Bianjing, the capital division. In Bianjing, Li Anqiang and Gao Dang acted as lobbyists, and together with Li Xineng, the son of Li Yan, the former prime minister of Liao, who had changed his name to Zhao Minxiu and served as a scholar of the Yankang Palace in the Song Dynasty, persuaded the prime minister Wang Huang, who in turn told the old man Huizong of Song. So, the emperor's old man was moved.

It was not without opposition in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty. The fiercest opposition was Zhao Liangsi, who had the most envoys to the Jin State. Although Zhao Liangsi wanted to get the three states during the negotiations, he now believed that the imperial court had just signed an agreement with the Jin State, and should not immediately renegade on the agreement, but should first deal with the internal problems, and wait until the strength was strong enough. Regarding the objections, the old man Song Huizong did not listen to them. He wrote a letter to Zhan Du, the deputy guard of Yanjing, talking about the best strategy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let Jin Jun fight Zhang Jue first. But then he wrote a second letter, asking Zhan Du to secretly recruit Zhang Jue, but on the surface he had to pretend not to collude with Zhang Jue.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, Zhang Jue secretly sent people to surrender. At the same time, the country of gold is also in action. Although the Jin State did not know that Zhang Jue had surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, he sent troops to prepare to suppress it. Leading the army was the general of the Jin State. On June 21, Gemu's army arrived in the area of Pingzhou. Since Pingzhou was the most strongly defended, Yan Mu first led 2,000 men and horses to the outside of Yingzhou. But then he found that Yingzhou City was also well defended, and the defenders were numerous and well prepared. On the contrary, the Jin army had too few soldiers, and it was difficult to win. So she wrote a few words on the city gate to return this winter, and then retreated. The Jin people's initiative to retreat was caused by Zhang Juexuan, who sent his younger brother to report to the old man Song Weizong. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed and immediately awarded Zhang Juetaining the military festival envoy, and it was hereditary.

The emperor's edict was brought back to Zhang Jue by Li Li'an, and in addition, the old man Huizong of Song also wrote a letter with a golden flower paper imperial pen and handed it to Zhang Jue's younger brother and asked him to hand it over to Zhang Jue in person. The old man Song Huizong did these things without consulting with his ministers. Most of the officials in the outer court did not know about it, and only a few people had heard of it. Zhao Liangsi stood up against it again at this time, insisting that the covenant should not be broken, and even asked to behead Li Anbi. This request brought him trouble, and he was demoted.

Unfortunately, Zhao Liangsi's statement is correct. On the tenth day of the seventh month, when Li Anbi returned, Zhang Jue, who was full of spring breeze, led officials to meet him outside the city. He didn't expect that the Jin army had already found out that he was going out of the city today, and took advantage of his order to launch an attack, separating Zhang Jue from Pingzhou City. Although Zhang Jue was not captured by the Jin army, he could not return to the city, so he had to flee in the direction of Yanjing. In the panic of the escape process, Song Huizong's holy decree was unfortunately obtained by the Jin army. Later, this document became irrefutable evidence of the emperor's violation of the peace treaty.

Although the Jin army drove Zhang Jue away and besieged Pingzhou, it was temporarily unable to conquer it. They turned to attack Yingzhou, and this time they succeeded. Zhang Jue's mother, wife and other family members were all in Yingzhou City, and they were all captured by the Jin. Zhang Jue's younger brother originally fled to Yanjing with him, but when he heard that his mother had been arrested, he immediately returned to Yingzhou and was captured by the Jin. Not only did he not save his family, but even Song Huizong's handwritten letter was obtained by the Jin people.

The Jin people besieged Pingzhou for half a year before conquering it. In this half year, the army of the Northern Song Dynasty was on pins and needles. They should not have turned a blind eye to the plight of the brothers' forces in Pingzhou City, but they had to pretend not to violate the Song-Jin Peace Treaty and could not help the defenders in Pingzhou City. What's more, when the Jin army was short of food, they had to help the Jin army solve the logistics problem.

It was not until the beginning of the second year that the Jin army took Yingping, Luan, and Sanzhou, and sent an ultimatum to the Northern Song Dynasty, demanding that the Northern Song Dynasty return Zhang Jue and other generals. The Northern Song Dynasty sent a fake head to the Jin army at the beginning, but it was recognized, and it took several months for you to come and go before Zhang Jue was killed in September, and the head was soaked in mercury and sent to the Jin State. The biggest impact of the Zhang Jue incident was the rustic spirit of Guo Yaoshi and his victorious army. When Zhang Jue was driven away by the Jin army, it was Guo Yaoshi who took him in, renamed him Zhao Xiucai, and hid in the Changsheng army.

On the fifteenth day of August in the fifth year of Xuanhe (1123 AD), not long after the foreign pharmacists came to Jue, they won a great victory. Solved the last threat of the Liao State to the Northern Song Dynasty: Xiao Shi, who proclaimed himself Emperor of Daxi. In the war to defend Yanjing, Xiao Gan, the king of the Fourth Army, was the one who made the Song army suffer the most. Since fleeing to the northeast, he has always wanted to fight, and has constantly launched attacks on the interior. In June, he once crossed Yanshan from the direction of Neilongling, broke through Jizhou, killed the guards Liu Zi and Yang Borong, and defeated the Changsheng army in Yanmen Town and captured Jizhou. Xiao Gan was about to attack Yanjing, but on August 15, Guo Yaoshi led his army to defeat Xiao Gan at Fengshan, beheaded 3,000 people, captured thousands, drove him back to Lulongling, and held the area in front of the mountain. Due to the loss of most of his troops, Xiao Gan was slumped and was killed by his subordinates at the beginning of the second year. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhan Du, the prefect of Hejian Province, obtained the head of Xiao Gan and confirmed that he was dead.

The Changsheng army was almost the only unit in the Song army that could fight, but it was disheartened by Zhang Jue's death. Wang Anzhong accepted the emperor's secret decree and forced Zhang Jue to commit suicide. Zhang Jue was unwilling to give in, Wang Anzhong had to execute him, and the whole process was watched by the general of the Chang Shengjun. Pharmacist Guo even said sadly: What if they want my head! After that, the victorious army also became lazy.

The Song Dynasty also knew that the Changsheng Army was no longer reliable, and in March of the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124 AD), the Song Army in the western direction of Shanxi established another unit, the Yisheng Army, which was formed to defend against the Changsheng Army. Due to the better treatment of the Yisheng Army, many soldiers of the Changsheng Army secretly ran to the Yisheng Army to enlist. In order to prevent the soldiers from escaping, Guo Yaoshi began to tattoo the soldiers' faces with ink, which made the Changsheng army even more chaotic.

Zhang Jue's death did not eliminate all the troubles. As he let go of a large number of people, the Jin army continued to put pressure on the Northern Song Dynasty in the name of demanding refugees. Not only in the Yanjing area, but also in the Shanhou area, many people fled from the Jin-controlled area to the Northern Song region. They are so pervasive that even if they want to be repatriated, they cannot be found. Later, the Northern Song Dynasty suddenly discovered that the Song-Jin agreement was a completely unenforceable agreement that could only be maintained by mutual understanding. Once an understanding is broken, disputes will inevitably arise. The Zhang Jue incident has broken the foundation of mutual trust, and conflict is inevitable. Another impact of the Zhang Jue incident was that the delivery of Shanhou Qingzhou between Song and Jin came to naught.

In general, it is contrary to common sense to let eunuchs who do not have military skills and vision command an army to fight. Coupled with the fact that the old man personally overstepped the command, it caused many misunderstandings between Song and Jin, and more importantly, the strategy against Jin has been ambiguous, which led to the Jin people repeatedly accusing the Great Song of breaking the contract, thus causing the situation to deteriorate further.

Hearing Tan Zhi say that the emperor's favored concubines in the palace were packing their luggage, Liang Shicheng at this time was even more convinced of Cai Jing's judgment in the prince's mansion, so he said to everyone: Since the emperor has a long-term plan to go to the south, then the Beijing master must not be left without an owner for a day, what do you think? The four of them were silent after hearing this, this is really not easy to answer, because the situation has not yet been finally clarified, and it is a little immature to express oneself at this time, after all, everyone is a human spirit, but Liang Shicheng has already said this part, in fact, it is not good not to answer, after all, they are all asking for Liang Shicheng, and they are all relying on Liang Shicheng to climb up.

Or Li Bangyan, the old man, replied directly: If the holy car is to tour the south, the personnel of the courtiers and attendants are not clear, but the concubines in the palace are preparing to travel south, then I think the situation is already very clear, the emperor is only taking his family to the south. That country cannot be without a king for a day, the crown prince will inevitably succeed to the throne, and the crown prince's succession is a change of dynasty, then we have to consider our own future.

Since this layer of window paper was pierced by Li Bangyan, everyone has no psychological burden, so they saw Li Yan and said: Since the court is about to change, then we will inevitably follow the steps of the prince, but we have no intersection with the prince before, and I don't know how the new monarch will treat the old ministers of the previous dynasty when he succeeds to the throne?

The main purpose of the imperial court was to make up for the huge financial deficit caused by poverty and luxury, and to increase income, in fact, it was to force the common people to give up the ownership of the land on which they depended for their survival, and then rent it to the common people for cultivation at high rents. This led to many landless peasants constantly rebelling and revolting, and Li Yan took bloody repression measures to suppress this, killing thousands of people for this. In the enclosure of more than 34,300 hectares around the capital alone, countless rich businessmen and ordinary people were killed, and more than 1,000 good people were killed by him alone. As a result, it has had a very bad impact on the people.

Liang Shicheng saw that everyone had returned to the topic at this time, so he took the opportunity to say: The old man feels that this matter is not about how the new monarch treats us and others, but how we treat the new monarch. You are also very clear that at present, there are Jin people eyeing the outside, and there is a lot of pressure on the financial and tax of the imperial court, and the new emperor is facing such a situation, the first thing to consider is how to stabilize the overall situation, since we want to stabilize the court, then our work is very important, if we cooperate with the new emperor to overcome the current predicament during this period, the new emperor will definitely treat us well in the future, if we deal with the errand, I am afraid that the three fires of the new emperor will first burn to us and others.

As soon as this remark came out, Li Bangyan, Tan Zhen, Li Yan, and Cai You all felt that this was the reason, and they also admired Liang Shicheng, no wonder they could become the hidden phase of Jingshi, and the angle of considering the problem was different. Then they each thought in their hearts about what strengths they had and what kind of help and advice they could provide for the current difficulties of the court. In this way, he won the first good impression of the new king, so that he could once again enjoy the royal favor and the power in his hands.
