Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After announcing that he would stick to Bianliang City in Tokyo, Zhao Huan also agreed to the request of the people in the capital, and ordered people to distribute armor to them, so that they could go home and prepare for street fighting.

Liu Yanqing waited bitterly outside the Wansheng gate, but there was no sign of the emperor's imperial driver.

Finally, news came from the inner city that Emperor Zhao Huan had given up his plan to leave.

Liu Yanqing was shocked, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly led his [-] troops to abandon the city.

Seeing Liu Yanqing's army leaving Wansheng Gate, Wang Zongyi and other generals also led the troops and left behind Liu Yanqing.

On this day, about [-] Song troops fled through the Wansheng Gate, and there were not many defenders left in Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Chapter 943 Zhao Huan Begs to Surrender

Liu Yanqing and other generals fled with tens of thousands of people, but they did not escape the pursuit of the Jin army.

After Wanyan Zonghan learned that the Song army had broken through, he immediately ordered Wanyan Xiyin to lead the cavalry to pursue the Song army.

Wanyan Xiyin pursued Liu Yanqing's army closely, and caught up with Liu Yanqing at Gui'er Temple, a hundred miles west of the capital.

The two armies fought a great battle. Under the impact of the cavalry of the Jin Army, Liu Yanqing's army was defeated. Both Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangguo and his son died in battle.

Wanyan Xiyin chopped off the heads of Liu Yanqing and his son, and brought them back to the Jin Army camp in Qingcheng, south of the city.

Wang Zongyi and other generals were not lucky enough to escape, and they were all beheaded by the pursuing generals of the Jin army.

King Jing Zhao Qi, ministers Xie Kejia and Li Ruoshui are currently envoys to the camp of the Jin Army to seek peace with the commander of the Jin Army, Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Xiyin and others will return to the big tent to return to the big tent, and after presenting the heads of Liu Yanqing, father and son, Wanyan Zonghan pointed to the heads of these Song generals and said to King Jing Zhao Qi: "His Royal Highness, go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor of your country for me. Don't think about running away again. The five hundred miles around Bianjing City are under the control of our Great Jin Army, and His Majesty the Emperor of your country is hard to fly!"

Jing Wang Zhao Qi was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he hurriedly replied that the court was sincerely negotiating peace, and asked Marshal Yan Zonghan about the conditions for his withdrawal.

Wanyan Zonghan proposed that the Song Dynasty should cede the land of Hedong, Hebei, and Hezhong, and hand over gold and silver to the army, so that the gold army can retreat.

King Jing Zhao Qi asked about the terms of the peace talks with the Jin army, paid his respects to Wanyan Zonghan, left Qingcheng Wanyan Zonghan's camp with Xie Ke's family and Li Ruoshui, and returned to the city to return to his command.

Emperor Zhao Huan learned that tens of thousands of Song troops in the city had abandoned the city and fled, and later learned from King Jing Zhao Qi that Liu Yanqing and other generals had died at the hands of the Jin army. Losing the last ounce of will to resist, he decided to meet the conditions of the Jin Army at all costs and let the Jin Army retreat as soon as possible.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao Huan personally wrote the "Letter of Sorrow" and "Book of Begging for Reconstruction", and on the same day he sent Prime Minister He? The Ji Jin army withdraws troops, don't hurt the people in the capital, and protect Zhao Song Zongshe.

Prime Minister He Li, Ji Wang Zhao Xu, and Zhongshu Shilang Chen Guoting did not return that day after they went to the camp of the Jin Army, and the Jin Army did not reply to the Song Dynasty's pleadings.

Zhao Huanjun and his ministers were in constant panic, not knowing what the prime minister was? Whether the three of them were alive or dead, would the Jin army launch an attack on the inner city?

Therefore, on November 27th, Emperor Zhao Huan wrote the "Letter of Pleading for Order" again, and sent Qin Hui, Yushi Zhongcheng, Huidiange Bachelor, Chao Fenglang Li Ruoshui, and Wuyi Doctor Wang Lu to Jinying to plead for orders.

At this time, Qin Hui, who was serving as Yushi Zhongcheng, was a staunch advocate of the war faction. Unfortunately, current affairs were stronger than others, so he had to seek peace according to the order, and once again appeared on the stage of Song and Jin negotiations.

After Qin Hui and others went on a mission, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were very dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers who only begged for mercy with empty words, but did not take any real actions. They finally replied a letter "Marshal and Song Master Letter", and put forward three demands to Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Huan .

One is because the Song Dynasty had promised to cede the three towns and then tore up the agreement. The Jin army did not believe in the credibility of the Song Dynasty.This time, in order to successfully hand over the lands of Hedong, Hebei, and Hezhong, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji and the princes must be taken out of the city as hostages, so as to prevent the Song Dynasty from breaking the contract again.

The second is that the ministers sent by the Song Dynasty in the early stage failed to complete the task of land delivery, and the Jin Army requested to send other important officials around the emperor to deliver the designated state capital and military county.

Third, because the prefectures and counties of the prefectures and counties in Hedong and Hebei resisted the imperial court's will, refused to cede the land, and even killed the court minister Nie Chang. The blood relatives of the chief executives of each state were taken as hostages, one from each state, and together with the delivery officials, went to speak to the local officials to hand over the land.

In the camp of the Jin army, what did Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang say to the prime minister? Said: "Since ancient times, there has been south and north, and both are indispensable. As long as your country agrees to cede land, the two countries can negotiate peace. However, the Supreme Emperor must be invited Come and discuss in person."

Prime Minister He? Thinking that he had made a contribution to the peace talks and that the Jin army was expected to retreat, he happily took the "Marshal and Song Zhu Shu" back to the city to report to Emperor Zhao Huan.

However, the overlord Zhao Ji did many treacherous things to Jin Guo, fearing the Jin army's revenge, so he didn't have the guts to go out of the city.

Emperor Zhao Huan was constrained by filial piety, and he did not dare to force the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji to leave the city, so he could only cry helplessly.

In order to explain to Jin Jun, Emperor Zhao Huan had no choice but to write another letter "Begging the Emperor not to publish" on the grounds that the Emperor was overly frightened and suffering from chronic illness, and sent someone to the Jin Army camp on November 28.

After Wan Yan Zonghan received the autographed letter from Emperor Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty, he rejected Zhao Huan's request and told the Song Dynasty envoy Sun Chuan and others that the Song Dynasty must send the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji to the camp of the Jin Army for negotiations.

Wanyan Zonghan and others insisted that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty leave the city because Song Huizong Zhao Ji had been with the Kingdom of Jin for many years.

Moreover, the war between the Jin and Song Dynasties started because of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji. In the eyes of Wanyan Zonghan and others, this Zhao Ji was the number one war criminal in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan and others insisted that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji go out of the city to beg for surrender.

Emperor Zhao Huan was helpless, and after discussing with Prime Minister He Li, Sun Fu and other important officials, he decided to replace the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji and go out of the city to negotiate peace with the Jin people.

On November 29th, Zhao Huan wrote the "Previous Letter to the Army" again, and asked Qin Hui, the censor Zhongcheng, to run around the camp of the Jin Army, explain to the commander of the Jin Army his intention to go out of the city instead of his father, and make an appointment with the Jin Army.

After Wanyan Zonghan received the letter from Qin Hui, he agreed to let Emperor Zhao Huan go out of the city to negotiate a peace instead of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji.

At dawn on the [-]th day of the leap month, according to the agreement, Emperor Zhao Huan led many ministers to the camp of the Jin Army in Qingcheng outside Nanxun Gate to discuss peace.

When they came outside the Jin Army's camp, the Jin Army disarmed Emperor Zhao Huan's two hundred guards, and only allowed Emperor Zhao Huan and the ministers around him to enter.

However, after Emperor Zhao Huan and his ministers entered the Jin camp, Wan Yan Zonghan, the commander-in-chief of the Jin army, did not meet him. Instead, he sent someone to directly ask him to surrender the form.

Zhao Huan didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly asked people to write a surrender form and present it.

The Jinren were dissatisfied with the table of surrender written by Zhao Huan, and ordered that the table of surrender must be written in four or six couplets.

Emperor Zhao Huan and his ministers were under house arrest in the camp of the Jin Army and could not leave. Out of desperation, Zhao Huan told the ministers that the matter had come to an end and there was nothing else to worry about.

The minister Sun Zhi repeatedly considered and changed it four times before writing a table of surrender that satisfied the Jin people.

The full text of the drop table is as follows:

Chen Huan said: "Being begged for gratitude is far from exhausting the work of sweat and horses; begging for orders and mourning, dare to abolish the ritual of leading sheep. Looking up and praying for a loan, bowing down and trembling, Chen Huan is sincere and fearful, and bows his head. Stolen Khitan is a neighbor, and it has been good for a hundred years; the great gold established the country, and it is even more joyful for all ages. The sailing envoy is far away from the sea and the bridge, seeking the old place to cut off the territory of swallows and clouds. Before I read the age, I had already made my oath, and then I got the territory in Ximu, and suddenly connected the thieves in Pingshan. The Minister of Construction, invited back to the account, although he concealed his kindness and righteousness, he still owed his guilt. But to pursue his people, he still exaggerated his land , causing the Shuai mansion to reach the capital far away, the emperor took the blame to relocate, and the humble ministers received Zen because of the time. Fearing the loss of the lonely city, they cut off the three mansions to ask for peace. Repeatedly mourned, and was eagerly promised; the officers and soldiers retreated, and believed The oath has been renewed. The natives are secretly instructed to stick to it, and to send troops to rescue them in the name of rescue, and to return spies to envoys. Seeing the objection of envoys, they work hard and attack again, and ask the guilty teacher; Plan. If it is impossible to escape from Yingcha, the pawns will take it upon themselves to attack and return to Yingcheng. Wouldn’t it be that they refused to order? Angry generals and soldiers climbed to the city of three miles away; This act is even more of the kindness of the conferring hall. Knowing the depth of the crime, dare to have the reason to survive? His Majesty the Emperor Fuwei was born with the life of a handsome man, and he has a great career. The benevolence of not killing has followed Tang and Wu, and the virtue of living In the end, Li is beautiful in Tang and Yu, and I hope to patronize the great sage's kindness, so that I can preserve the inexhaustible thread of the Song Dynasty. Even if I die, I am lucky. There are many gifts, and the way is hindering the repair. Don't appeal to the heavens; I sincerely pray Grid, just thinking deeply about the sun. I would like to

To my uncle Yan Wangmata, Yue Wangsi, brother Yun Wangkai, Jing Wangqi, Qi Wangmo, Xin Wangzhi, Xu Wangdi, Yi Wangyi, He Wangshi and prime ministers, all the people of the country, monks, seniors, soldiers Feng Biao went out of the suburbs, looked at the tower and waited for the crime to be heard.The minister paused in fear and fear.

Be careful. "

On December [-]nd of the fourth year of Tianhui, Zhao Huan, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, came to the table.

Chapter 944 Delayed Reinforcements

After Zhao Huan submitted the surrender form, Jin Jun asked the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji to come to express his surrender.

Zhao Huan begged hard, and Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang and others stopped insisting.

Immediately afterwards, under Wanyan Zonghan's signal, the Jin army set up an incense table facing north in the fasting palace, ordering the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty to face north to worship, and read the surrender form in public in order to fulfill their courtesy.

At this time, the wind and snow were blowing, and Zhao Huan knelt in the wind and snow tremblingly to profess his minister to the Kingdom of Jin and pay homage to the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin.

The accompanying ministers were ashamed and wept secretly.

After the surrender ceremony was completed, Wanyan Zonghan and others were satisfied, so they released Zhao Huan back to the city to preside over the cession of land and payment of indemnities in the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang sent people to send the surrender form of the Song Dynasty emperor back to the Kingdom of Jin, and begged to buy the good news from Emperor Wanyan Wu.
