Chapter 494: The World is Diverse

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" a little eunuch ran towards Shi Zhonggui with a piece of sheepskin, and shouted, "Good news, good news!"

Shi Chonggui perked up, stood up, grabbed the little eunuch, grabbed the placket of his chest, and asked loudly: "What good news, is it Liu Zhiyuan who has brought troops over?"

"No, it's not!" The little eunuch was so strangled by Shi Chonggui that he could barely breathe, and stammered, "Zhang, Zhang Yanze Cong, from Kuanrenmen, the letter of the Khitan Khan, saying that he would not attack the palace, and said that he would protect the queen mother and the emperor. ”

Shi Chonggui was disappointed, and snatched the sheepskin, sure enough, it was Yelu Deguang's handwritten letter, and the letter was full of words of condolence, obviously, Yelu Deguang did not intend to force Shi Chonggui to die.

"What kind of good news is this!" Shi Chonggui kicked the little eunuch to the ground, and was about to throw the letter into the flames, but was hugged by Zhang Quanzhong.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is indeed good news!" Zhang Qianzhong rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Since Yelu Khan has written this letter, it shows that he has an endless affection for His Majesty's incense. As long as the emperor does what Yelu Khan wants, the country of the Great Jin Dynasty may not be able to continue, and the emperor is still the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, how can this be said to be good news?"

Shi Chonggui's body stiffened: "You mean, you want me to bow down to the old thief of Yelu?"

"Your Majesty! When is it, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Zhang Qianzhong persuaded loudly, "At the beginning, Han Xin still had the humiliation of his crotch, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also had the Weishui Alliance (Note 1), and Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty also had the shame of Bai Mountaineering (Note 2). Your Majesty, how can there be a hurdle in the world that cannot be crossed, a river that cannot be crossed?" During these days, Zhang Qianzhong read a lot of history books and had some understanding of some historical events.

"Is it really useful?" Shi Chonggui trembled, hesitated for a moment, and knew that Zhang Duzhong could not give him a positive answer, and said dejectedly: "Okay, for the sake of my Great Jin Dynasty, I will endure this time!"

So Shi Chonggui ordered to extinguish the fire, open all the palace gates, and summoned the Hanlin scholar Fan Zhen to draft a table of surrender, and presented it to the Khitan Khan Yelu Deguang.

The descending table said: "Sun Nanchen is noble, and the disaster is so confusing that he will be killed." Now with the Queen Mother and his wife Feng, the family is bound to the crime in the suburbs. Send the male Zhenning Festival to make Yanxu, the prestige festival to make Yanbao, and the national treasure one and the golden seal three out to welcome. ”

The Queen Mother is also called "the bride Li's concubine".

Fu Zhu'er immediately entered the palace to declare the will of the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, Shi Chonggui took off his yellow robe, put on plain clothes, and knelt in the Chengqing Hall to bow and obey Fu Zhu'er's declaration.

The wind gusted, everything withered, Fu Zhu'er's voice echoed in the hall, and Shi Chonggui's lonely figure made this winter look particularly bleak, teaching people to be sad, and the attendants on the left and right in the palace couldn't help but hide their faces and weep.

The people in Kaifeng City were panicked, and the civil and military officials were also looking for their own way, walking, fleeing, and the rest of the sycophants, hoping to get the appreciation of Yelu Deguang and continue their glory and wealth.

Hearing that Zhang Yanze had entered the city, the doorman of Kaifeng Mansion Yin Sang Weihan persuaded him to flee, Sang Weihan sighed: "I am a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, and all the Central Plains are today, my sins are unforgivable, how can I escape?

Soon, Zhang Yanze really summoned Sang Weihan into the palace in the name of the emperor, Sang Weihan met Li Song at the Tianjie, the two stopped talking on the horse, and only after a few words, a military official invited Sang Weihan to go to the guard division in front of the horse.

Sang Weihan knew that he would inevitably die, so he turned back to Li Song and said: "Lord Li, you are in charge of state affairs in the waiter, and now that the Great Jin is gone, the old man will also die, I don't know what the servant is doing?"

Li Song's face was full of shame and speechless.

In the Guards Division, Zhang Yanze sat on the bed with a very arrogant attitude: "Lord Sang, when you were in power over the world, did you ever think of today? Listen to my kind words and persuasion, Yelu Khan has always remembered the old, as long as you can submit to the Great Khan, you can still keep you alive." ”

Sang Weihan laughed, pointed at Zhang Yanze, and said: "Glory and wealth, the old man has enjoyed everything he should enjoy, now that he is old, what does it matter if he dies a few years early and a few years later?

In history, whether it is the infamy that has been infamous for thousands of years, or the praise of Ze by the century, the name of the old man will be left in the end.

But what about you? What will happen to you, the old man will wait and see. As a Jin minister, you didn't say anything about surrendering to the enemy before the battle, and even did such a big rebellious thing, what good results do you think you can have?

I think that at the beginning, the first emperor promoted you from among the sinners (Note 3) and tolerated you, and the emperor even granted you military power, let you govern a large feudal town, and trusted you immensely, but how did you repay the first emperor and the saints? Destroy the Great Jin Dynasty and force the emperor to abdicate? How do you still have the face to say such things to the old man?

Hahahaha, the old man will die without a day, but how long can you Zhang Yanze live?

It is impossible for any king to tolerate such an act of yours, and Jerod will only cherish his feathers and refuse to do it himself, so that you will be allowed to do this treason in the future, and from now on, the sin of destroying the Jin will accumulate on you. In order to appease the people, I am afraid that it will not be long before Yerod Guang will take you under the knife. ”

Zhang Yanze's face changed greatly, and he had nothing to answer, but just sent troops to guard Sang Weihan.

That night, Sang Weihan committed suicide, and it was rumored in the world that Zhang Yanze was angry with Sang Weihan, and then hung on the sorghum after strangling Sang Weihan with his own hands. It's just a pity that Sang Weihan I's powerful ministers only ended up like this.

Since Zhang Yanze entered the city, the indulgent soldiers looted, and the market hooligans also took advantage of the chaos to kill people and plunder property, and Zhang Yanze ordered to stop two days later, at this time, the entire Kaifeng City has been looted, therefore, the people of Kaifeng City have hated Zhang Yanze to the core.

Zhang Yanze was originally a military general, and the sergeant captured the sinner and escorted him to him, he didn't ask what crime he had committed, he only stared at him and raised his middle finger, and ordered him to pull out and behead him.

Gao Xun, the doorman who had a grudge against Zhang Yanze, came to his house one day when Zhang Yanze was drunk, killed his uncle and younger brother, and displayed the corpses in front of the door, which made the people shudder when they saw it.

Li Tao, a member of the Zhongshu House, once reported Zhang Yanze, and seeing this situation, he threw a famous assassin to see Zhang Yanze, and the famous assassin read: "Please kill Li Tao, the captain, and I would like to ask for death." ”

Zhang Yanze laughed, happily received him, and asked, "What, are you scared today?"

Li Tao replied: "Of course I'm afraid, my fear today is just like your fear back then." If the first emperor is willing to listen to my Li Tao's advice, why is this the case!"

When Zhang Yanze heard this, he admired Li Tao's courage, laughed loudly, and ordered someone to bring wine to Li Tao to drink.

On December 18, Zhang Yanze moved Shi Jingjiao to the Kaifeng Mansion, and was not allowed to stay for a moment, and the crying in the palace shook the sky.

Shi Chonggui, the queen mother, and the queen sat on their shoulders, and only a dozen palace people and eunuchs followed on foot, and everyone they saw on the road shed tears.

Shi Chonggui originally wanted to take away all the gold, silver and jewelry in the inner treasury, but Zhang Yanze sent someone to persuade him: "When Yelu Khan comes, these things cannot be hidden, and they will still be handed over to the Khitans, so why do this?" Seeing this, Shi Chonggui had to put all these treasures back into the inner treasury and gave some of them to Zhang Yanze; Zhang Yanze selected the rare treasures among them, and sealed the rest for Yelu Deguang to dispose of.

Zhang Yanze sent Li Yun to lead troops to guard Shi Chonggui, and Shi Chonggui had no contact with the outside world. Shi Chonggui's aunt, Princess Wu, bribed the janitor, came in to say goodbye to the emperor, and then returned home to commit suicide.

The seals given by Shi Chonggui and the Queen Mother to the Khitan Lord must be read by Zhang Yanze before they dare to issue them.

Shi Chonggui lived a poor life, so he asked people to take a few horses of silk silk from the inner library, but the person in charge of the library refused to give it, and said: "This is no longer Your Majesty's thing." ”

asked Li Song for wine again, but Li Song also used other reasons to refrain from sending it.

He wanted to see Li Yantao again, but Li Yantao couldn't refuse.

Seeing that the original confidants and ministers are like this now, Shi Chonggui knows the warmth and coldness of the world, and he is sad about it.

When Zhang Yanze entered Kaifeng, the soldiers rushed to enter Feng Yu's house first and robbed his family of money. The next day, Feng Yu met Zhang Yanze, still sneered, and said: "General Zhang, the lower officials have actually always been interested in the Great Khan, at the beginning, Li Fengyun got the secret edict of the Great Khan, and wanted to expose General Zhao Yanshou, which ruined the good deeds of the Great Khan, and it was also the lower official who was entrusted by Lord Xiao Han Xiao to cover up the past by stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix. Otherwise, where will the general's great achievements come from?"

Zhang Yanze sneered a few times and asked, "In this way, wouldn't the general still have to thank Master Feng?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare the lower officials take credit?" Feng Yu hurriedly knelt down in the tunnel, "It's just that I don't know if General Zhang can let the lower officials hold the jade seal of the Jin Kingdom and dedicate it to Yelu Great Khan, if they can get it, the lower officials will be grateful!"

It turned out that Feng Yu planned to take this opportunity to get close to Yelu Deguang as a token of merit and a reward for his grace.

"No!" Zhang Yanze snorted coldly and waved his sleeves away, although he descended the Khitan and did this kind of rebellious thing for Yelu Deguang, but in the final analysis, he is still a military general, and he is quite disdainful of what Feng Yu did, so how can he help him do things?

It's just that Feng Yu is despicable, and later he still found an opportunity to meet Yelu Deguang, and was named the crown prince by Yelu Deguang. Such a traitor, but this result, people are overwhelmed with sighs.

Note 1: In 626 AD, the Turks attacked Jingyang (now Jingyang County, Shaanxi), which was only 40 miles away from Chang'an, and the Beijing division was shaken. At this time, the strength of Chang'an was only tens of thousands, Tang Taizong Li Shimin set up a suspicious plan, personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other 6 people across the Weishui River to talk to Jieli Khan, Tang Taizong killed the white horse and the Turkic Khan knot "Weishui Alliance", promised a lot of benefits, and the Turkic soldiers retreated.

Note 2: Refers to the incident of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who was besieged by the Xiongnu in 200 BC at Baishan Mountain (now Mapu Mountain in the northeast of Datong City, Shanxi Province).

In 201 BC (the sixth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty), Han Wangxin (not Han Xin, the grandson of Han Xiang Wang Ji Cangshu, in order to avoid confusion with the famous general Han Xin of the same name, the history books mostly call him Han Wangxin) rebelled in the Datong area and colluded with the Xiongnu to attack Taiyuan.

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, personally led an army of 320,000 to meet the Xiongnu, first winning at Tonglu (now Qinxian County, Shanxi), and then pursuing the victory until the area of Loufu (now Ningwu, Shanxi).

It was a cold winter weather, and it snowed heavily, Liu Bang ignored the obstruction of Liu Jing, the outpost detective army, and advanced lightly, and chased straight to Datong Pingcheng, but he was caught in the plan of the Xiongnu to lure the troops, and was besieged in Pingcheng Baishan Mountain, up to 7 days and 7 nights. Later, Liu Bang used Chen Ping's strategy to bribe Mao Dun Shan Yu's Yan Shi (Mao Dun's wife) to get out of danger.

Note 3: Zhang Yanze once killed his subordinate secretary Zhang Shi, and later Zhang Shi's father Zhang Duo went to Beijing to file a complaint, and Shi Jingjiao had the intention to protect Zhang Yanze, which caused the dissatisfaction of Li Tao in the Criminal Department, and together with some other ministers, he insisted that Zhang Yanze be punished.

Shi Jingjiao saw that it had caused public anger, so he had no choice but to issue an edict to demote Zhang Yanze's official position by one rank and his knighthood by one level. In order to calm down the incident, Zhang Shi's father and children were appointed as officials.

Li Tao thought that the punishment given to Zhang Yanze was too light, so he went to see Shi Jingjiao again and demanded that Zhang Yanze be handed over to the relevant yamen for punishment according to law. Shi Jingjiao blamed him for not holding on and ignoring Li Tao anymore.
