Chapter 493: The Crisis of the Song Dynasty

This article is scattered in state capitals everywhere in the name of Chaogai! From the Song Dynasty's Taizu Zhao Kuangyin bullying the orphans and widows of the Later Zhou Dynasty to force them to abdicate, the founding of the country by disgraceful means, to the reign of Song Huizong in the current dynasty!

Favored traitorous ministers, the court fought for power, and it was chaotic. The decrees misled the country and the people, and the people were oppressed and displaced, which can be called the people's livelihood. In private, he has always been criticized by literati, and many people have gone into hiding.

The various deeds briefly described in the article are not half fake, and facts speak louder than words.

However, this was the most taboo thing in the Northern Song Dynasty court and was regarded as a disgrace. During the period when Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne and became emperor, whoever mentioned it might lose his head.

Even at the end of the Song Dynasty, you can't just say it!

It's just that this article appeared, and even if the government in the area controlled by the imperial court reacted quickly enough, the officials tore up the notice and dispersed the people. But it was too late, and countless people gathered to see the notice or learn about it.

Not to mention Shandong, Hebei and other occupied areas, even within the territory controlled by the Song Dynasty. Whether it's a village or a town, or a restaurant or a tea shop, wherever people get together, there will be people talking.

As the saying goes, three people become tigers.

What's more, there are thousands of mouths that are leisurely, slightly polished or exaggerated, and passed around, like an egg that has been washed and left for several months, and it has become stinky.

But the faint king, the traitor still hasn't changed.

All kinds of gossip and gossip were uncovered, and the prestige of the Song Dynasty plummeted. This is true even in Bianliang City at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Time entered July, just over a month, and the scandal was well known.

An undercurrent quietly formed.

From the very beginning, you can't use strong measures, and there are too many people who know. Song Huizong was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he could only swallow this breath deeply. Once again, I deeply realized that Shandong Chaogai is by no means a reckless man.

It's just that what the world didn't expect was that in the middle of summer, the heat was unbearable. The battlefields of Western Xia and Jiangnan fought one after another, but something happened again.

Or maybe Chao Gai took the lead and showed the way for many careerists. Following Chao Gai, Wang Qing of Huaixi wrote a letter begging for thieves.

"Since ancient times, etiquette cannot be abolished, rules cannot be disordered, the throne is inherited, and the will of heaven is followed. It is for: there is a grandchild, there is no grandchild, and the brother is the brother.

Taizu collapsed, and there were descendants and elders, but it was passed on to his younger brother Taizong Guangyi. This is a disagreement with etiquette, ignoring all the people in the world, and sliding the world's ridiculousness.

On the night of October 19 in the ninth year of Kaibao (976), Taizu Kuangyin summoned his younger brother Guangyi into the palace to drink, and stayed in the palace that night, and the two sides quarreled. In the early morning of the 20th, Kuang Yin suddenly died violently. On the 21st, Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, ascended the throne as Taizong of the Song Dynasty. Unscrupulous, in a hurry to come to power.

There is no heir to the throne of Taizu. He murdered his brother and usurped the throne. and promiscuity, after dominating the Song Dynasty, harming relatives and nephews, cruel methods, and vicious thoughts. After Zeng Qiang was fortunate to be a little Zhou, he ordered the court painter to paint after Xiao Zhou.

Xiao Zhou scolded Li Yu after he went back. At the beginning, he served the palace from humility, and did not return to his concubine every time he cried, and the latter lord had nothing to do, and every time he heard it, he would avoid it. When the poppy came out, asking how much sorrow you could have, just like a river flowing eastward. Taizong learned that soon after, Li Yu was killed.

The Song Dynasty passed to the eighth generation, the eldest son Zhao Tong suffered from eye disease, and the eleventh son Duan Wang succeeded to the throne! It was opposed by the ministers of the central government headed by the former prime minister Zhang Dan, who thought that his behavior was frivolous, his behavior was absurd, and his talent was outstanding but he could not govern the country, and instead suggested that Li Zhezong was similar to his maternal brother Cai Wang Zhao.

However, Xiang Empress Dowager monopolized the court and refuted the opposition in the language of Song Shenzong: "The first emperor said: King Duan has a blessed life, and he is benevolent and filial, and he should stand." ”

In the second year of Zhao Ji's accession to the throne, the Empress Dowager Xiang died, and the name of the year was changed to "Jianzhong Yasukuni". It is rumored that the Empress Dowager Xiang died violently, and it was Huizong who poisoned people. Clearing the obstacles to power, this was the beginning of Zhao Ji's rule.

During the reign of Zhao Ji, he "spent a lot of money in vain, innumerable", excessively pursued a luxurious life, procured "flowers and stones" in the south, collected exotic flowers and stones and transported them to Kaifeng Mansion in Bianjing, built garden palaces, and appointed corrupt officials and eunuchs to expropriate and extort violently, which provoked civil uprisings in various places. Among them, Cai Jing of the New Party was appointed prime minister and eunuch Tong Guan was the general, which caused the most serious problems.

Although Zhao Ji was brilliant and versatile, during his reign, he favored the treacherous villain, and allowed the traitorous ministers Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian, Li Bangyan and others to control the government and mislead the country and the people.

The imperial court was dark, wantonly looted the people's wealth, poor and extravagant, extravagant, and set up a bureau of articles for the royal family to enjoy, and the statue of Huizong of the Song Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty searched for strange flowers and stones, and transported them to Kaifeng by ship, called "Huashi Gang", in order to build Yanfu Palace and Genyue. His mediocrity and extravagance led to the boiling of public resentment, uprisings in various places, and the world was restored.

Such a court, such an ugly act, traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people are not happy. The name of the Song Dynasty was not right, the jade seal of the country was lost, and the number of qi was exhausted. I, Wang Qing, was an official of the Song Dynasty, and I knew the darkness well, and I saw the people suffering, exploited, bullied, and in dire straits.

Although Wang Qing is not talented, he is the first in the world. I am willing to lead millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops in Chu to crusade against the mediocre court and return the people to peace and prosperity! ”

This letter of anger and sharp stance against thieves spread after the school started, causing an uproar. Let the people who have been exploited applaud. Officials and literati looked at each other, and Wang Qing was bold.

Although most of the above content belongs to the type of chasing wind and shadows, it is said that there are noses and eyes, which people are eager to verify and believe. In cooperating with the Song Dynasty to bully orphans and widows, his prestige was almost swept away.

Ordinary people felt that the imperial court was like that, especially when they were discussed, with disdain on their faces. Even the people in Bianliang City felt that their faces were gloomy, and it was too embarrassing.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was so angry that he almost vomited blood, gritted his teeth, scolded Wang Qingxiao'er, the traitor insulted me too much, and so on, I wanted to tear him alive. Wang Qing, who enjoyed happiness in the palace, was also dumbfounded, and sighed with emotion.

However, the heroes of the world are not far behind!

Chu Emperor Wang Qing showed his face in front of the world, how could Emperor Wu Fang La of the same level lag behind? Through the widespread Manichaean congregation, the text of the thief was disseminated.

"Since the founding of Taizu, our dynasty has been more than 100 years, the wind and rain are smooth, the Haiyan River is clear, the people live in peace, and the treasury is full. There are traitors and thieves, such as Tong Guan and Gao Yu, who are vain ministers, bullying the monarch and oppressing the people.

Since he took office in the officialdom, he has made friends with evil parties, appointed traitors, run rampant in the streets, and fish and meat neighbors. Jiangnan Huashi Gang, making the people miserable. I, the people of Jiangnan, were originally obedient to the people of the Song Dynasty, and they were given money to the top, and they should have been given the grace of Mu Sheng, but the traitors were the obstructions, so that the tiles covering their bodies in the morning had no closed doors, and after the long period of worship, there was no nurturing relatives for the young.

Fortunately, Fang La, the southern country, was born out of thin air, organized the people, picked up swords and guns, and defended their own interests. Since the uprising, it has been unstoppable to behead corrupt officials and kill corrupt officials. led the Wu army of 200,000 to fight against the thieves and rebel against the people. I hope that the old thief will come to his senses as soon as possible and surrender to avoid the suffering of the sword soldiers; If you are obsessed and do not change, on the day of breaking the city, you will be executed by a thousand knives, and your head will be hung on the top of Bianliang City, so as to warn the world and comfort the people. ”

Compared with Wang Qing's spearhead pointing directly at Zhao Ji, Fang La's essay on begging for thieves is much more subtle. It's just that everyone understands that the crusade against traitors actually refers to Song Huizong. Sending out a letter to beg the thief shows that it is difficult to reconcile without dying.

On the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, dozens of corrupt officials were beheaded for public display.

This also shows that Jiangnan Laa is by no means good at stubble, killing a group of people, showing his mind. Fortunately, there is no Cai Dezhang in this group of people, Ling Cai, and Cai Jing is a little calm.

The three anti-kings showed their attitudes and shook the world.

Of course, Zhong Xiang, who ostensibly accepted the imperial court's recruitment, Yang Mi scolded the traitor. Hundreds of thousands of troops were reorganized for battle, and the soldiers were directed at Wang Qing in Huaixi. The rebel army on Fujian Road stopped advancing and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

All kinds of actions also made the court feel a little at ease.

As long as time is delayed, the newly recruited soldiers will be successfully trained.

However, the more you are afraid of something, the more you come!

Heaven seemed to have played a huge joke on Song Huizong, which made the Song Dynasty crumble.

At the end of July, the scorching heat gradually turns cooler!

The first place to start the battle was not the Western Xia battlefield, nor the Jiangnan battlefield.

Ratherβ€”

On a dark and windy night, several imperial forbidden military camps outside Bianliang City were attacked. Tens of thousands of elites were awakened in their sleep, most of them were old soldiers, they broke up without much resistance, less than 10,000 people fled into the city in panic, not even one-fifth, and the rest were either killed or surrendered.

。 Huaixi Wang Qing's army of more than 100,000 came to Bianliang City so suddenly. The infantry phalanx made a siege posture, and the cavalry pounced on the Mouhuo Gang dozens of miles away, easily crushing the defenders there and forcibly occupying it.

A total of 20 million stones of grain in the granary were seized.

There are nearly 20,000 military horses in Tianzijian Ranch, all of which are cheaper than Wang Qingjun.

Bianliang City, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was besieged by the army of Chu, and the military camp outside the city was occupied. and sweep the surrounding area to form a relatively blocked area.

This move shook the court, and the world shook!.

The people living in the city were panicked, fearing the impact of the war.

Since the founding of the country, Bianliang City has never encountered such a situation. The metropolis of 1.8 million people consumes a staggering amount of all kinds of things, even if there is a large amount of food and materials as support, people eat and chew for three to five months at most. Without supplies from the outside world, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The 800,000 forbidden army is the head of the army with the commander of the left Yiwei pro-army to escort the general Qiu Yue, the deputy head of the 800,000 forbidden army is the commander of the right Yiwei pro-army to make the general Zhou Ang, and the two generals with long names see that there are not many enemies outside the city, and they volunteer to lead the 30,000 army out of the city to raid.

The result was tragic!

The army had just left the city to engage the army outside the city, when the rumbling hooves of horses rang out, and tens of thousands of cavalry roared in from afar.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two court generals immediately led their troops to retreat to the city.

If it weren't for the two horses running fast, they would definitely be like the forbidden army Cao hanging behind who was shot and captured alive. Even so, Qiu Yue, who was running in front, was hit by an arrow in the arm. The two led the remnants of the army back in disarray.

As a result, the forbidden army defending the imperial city lost nearly half

Song Huizong couldn't hold on any longer, and slumped on the dragon chair, his face full of bitterness and helplessness. Several traitorous ministers are like mourners, and they don't have the spirit of the past.

In the crisis of the imperial city, he could only order the Western Xia and the army of the Jiangnan battlefield to return to help quickly.

When it's late, everything is closed!
