One Piece of Song Dynasty

The auxiliary ministers also requested the arrangement of four officials to handle palace affairs. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty said: "The affairs of the capital should be increased today. There is nothing to do in the palace. Only two people are needed, namely, Ji, She, Liucao, Taiwan, and Jian. None of them are necessary. If there is any command, stop the three provinces, The Privy Council's executive department went out and went directly to various places." So, only two promotion officers were arranged.

At this time, Wu Min, a scholar in the Shizhong Academy and a student at the academy, asked to see the emperor and tell him something in person. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty asked his chamberlain Deng Wengao to pass the decree and order him to come to Yuhua Pavilion to pay an audience in the evening.

Wu Min was talented when he was young. "Cai Jing liked his writing, wanted a wife and a daughter, and was quick with his words." Later, Cai Jing went against all opinions and recommended him to "fill the library position." It can be said that he was promoted by Cai Jing.

Wu Min has a close relationship with Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang. He is eager to meet the emperor this time, mainly to recommend Li Gang. He believed that Li Gang was a rare talent, and he hoped that the emperor would listen to Li Gang's advice when the country was in crisis.

Last night, Li Gang came to Wu Min's house and said: "The matter is urgent. It is proposed that Jian Mu should stay in the East Palace Gongjian to guard the clan society, but Jian Mu is not. The giant bandits are rampant, and the title of Jian Mu is not passed down. The mission is to recruit heroes and defend them together. How can we defeat Duke Jigong and not be the best?"

Wu Min asked: "Is it okay to supervise the country?"

Li Gang replied: "No. Regarding the Lingwu incident of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, it was not enough to restore the country if he did not establish a title at that time. The idea of ​​establishing a title did not come from Emperor Ming, and future generations will cherish it. The emperor is wise and kind. If Gongyan can do this, Jin People will repent and withdraw from the army, and the clan and society will be peaceful, and the people in the capital will be safe, and everyone in the world will be blessed. Who can do this unless he forgets his own life and serves the country?"

Wu Min felt that Li Gangyan was right. On the evening of the nd, Wu Min came to Yuhua Pavilion. Yuhua Pavilion is behind the Xuanhe Hall. When Wu Min arrived, the prime ministers Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, the Privy Council Cai You and Tong Guan, the governors Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, Yu Wencuizhong, Cai Mao and others were all there. Yu Wenxuzhong, the envoy of the Proclamation, and Wang Fan, the envoy of the Zhizhi, were also there. After the ministers finished their speech, they stood aside. Wang Fan stepped forward to announce something, then retreated and stood aside. Song Huizong stood up and was about to leave. Wu Min hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "I would like to ask for a room." This means that he hopes to speak to the emperor alone.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty "considered the ministers, but the young people stood up".

Wu Min asked: "How can your Majesty treat the Jinren-Chongqing Alliance?"

Song Huizong frowned and asked: "What can I do?"

At this time, Song Huizong's "Eastern Fortune" plan had been determined, and he had issued an edict to order Li Wei, the Minister of Household Affairs, to go and guard Jinling.

Wu Min asked again: "I heard that His Majesty's plan for a tour has been decided, is it possible?" Song Huizong did not respond.

Wu Min said: "As a matter of course, the capital has heard that the Jin people have entered in large numbers, and people are shocked. Some want to run away, some want to defend, and some want to rebel. If these three kinds of people defend together, a country will be destroyed." "

Song Huizong asked: "Well, what can I do?"

Wu Min said: "Since the invasion of the bandits, I have prayed privately in the ancestral temple. In the past, I had to sleep in bed. I don't know whether I will report it or not."

Song Huizong said: "It doesn't matter."

Wu Min said: "To the north of the water, I see a Buddha with a golden body in a snail bun. It stretches to the sky. To the south of the water, there is a jade statue covered with iron. People call it Mencius. There is another water to the south of Mencius, and there is a hillside to the south. Chao, and I was in the middle. People said: Go to Taishang Mountain. I tried to explain it privately and said: The one in the north of water is Hebei; Chongqing. The so-called Mencius, I tried to greet the guests, and there was a scholar who went to the banquet and told the minister: Mencius is Yuanzi." Song Huizong nodded.

Wu Min continued: "Your Majesty knows what is said. If you do not avoid death, your Majesty will make a plan to patrol. If the defenders are not strong and the practitioners are not successful, what can you do?"

Song Huizong said: "I am worried about this."

Wu Min said: "Your Majesty makes the defenders powerful and blessed enough to use them exclusively. If the defenders are strong enough, the defenders will be successful." Huizong of the Song Dynasty was "a little more tolerant".

Wu Min went on to say: "Your Majesty knows what I have said. If your Majesty can follow my advice, I dare to guarantee that your saintly life will be boundless. Your Majesty has been building Shenxiao for many years. As a king who lives forever, his holy life will be boundless." Yes. However, if there is no Qinghua Emperor beside the Changsheng Emperor, how can the Changsheng Emperor be able to live a long life with boundless Qinghua? This is called the Spring Palace." Huizong of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed.

Wu Min said: "If your majesty can make a plan, the clan will be safe; if you cannot make a plan, it may be overthrown. The safety of the clan depends on your majesty today."

After a brief pause, Wu Min added, "If your Majesty had made a plan early and had his ministers watch over it, it would not have happened in three days. After three days, the defenders will not be able to determine their strength, the power and fortune will not be achieved, and the enemy will arrive, which will be of no use."

At that time, the imperial court learned that the Jin soldiers had crossed Zhongshan Prefecture and continued southward. They planned to reach Jidian in ten days, so Wu Min agreed to three days.

Song Huizong praised what Wu Min said. At this time, Wu Min took out the letter he had prepared and presented it. He strongly recommended Li Gang and said: "I met Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang, who is upright, loyal and loyal to the country. He said that he had a clever plan and long-term strategy, and he was willing to be summoned."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty immediately ordered the three provinces to approve the decree, and ordered Li Gang to wait for an audience at the Ruisi Hall of Wenwaikurisi tomorrow.

In the Yuhua Pavilion, the officials reported some more matters and then all retreated. Song Huizong left Li Bangyan to chat for a few words, and then called Wu Min back. Song Huizong sighed to them and said: "There are good ministers and young ministers, so don't be suspicious."

It turned out that Song Huizong had repeatedly consulted Li Bangyan about the Zen throne, but Li Bangyan did not dare to obey the imperial edict, and Wu Min did not know about it. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty looked at Wu Min and said to Li Bangyan: "In addition to the servant minister, assist the prince."

Wu Min was shocked and said: "I plan for your majesty. I should visit your majesty. The division of ministers is also passed down by your majesty. However, I am promoted by no less than others. How dare I?"

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty smiled sadly and said, "I don't think you dare to speak."

Then, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict appointing Wu Min as his assistant minister to the prince. The edict in hand said: "I respectfully accept Jing's orders and heirs to guard the Pi Tu. However, the difficulties of the foundation will always depend on the support of the generals. I will appoint the outstanding figures of the time, advance into political opportunities, increase the weight of the dynasty, and use it to persuade the masses to expand. Chao San Dafu , I tried to give Wu Min, who was also a student at the time, a man of good virtue and good character, and a remarkable talent. He had a brilliant mind and an outstanding view; his equipment was calm and dignified, and he was an awe-inspiring pillar. He practiced Suo Wei again and resigned from the court many times. , has the power to turn things around, and regards the grass as having Chinese writing. It was preliminarily discussed in the ban, and the credit belongs to the country; the edict was written in the pen, with the intention of loving the people. It is an extraordinary encounter, and the cover comes out at the right time. It is appropriate It is urgent to be among the closest ranks, to agree to cooperate with Qian Yan, to be in the department under the jurisdiction of Dongtai, to participate in the four auxiliary duties of Quanheng. The filial piety and brotherhood of Chen Yao and Shun were the first to become popular. Mo's warning. With one heart and one mind, I can support the royal family, and the achievements of Xi Shu will shine on the work of heaven. I will accept it as soon as I go, and Xi Qi will train me a lot, and I can be specially appointed as a minister under the guard of the Taizhong doctor."

Song Huizong said to Li Bangyan and Wu Min: "Don't call him Taishang, just call him by one name, such as Taoist Lord." After speaking, he asked Wu Min: "When can I do it?"

Wu Min said: "I am ready to play. I may not be able to catch up in three days."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty continued to count Jiazi and said: "It will be a good day tomorrow. Your Majesty will come with Bang Yan tomorrow."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty asked Li Bangyan again: "Which one is better, living in confinement or living outside?"

Li Bangyan replied: "It may be inconvenient to live in confinement."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty asked again: "Don't call yourself sick."

Wu Min replied: "Your Majesty is sincere in making great decisions, so there is no need to worry."

Song Huizong said: "I will think about it later."
