One Piece of Song Dynasty

At dusk, two chamberlains entered the city from Nanxun Gate with a yellow flag, and said to the citizens: "Before driving, let me report that you are safe. The edict said: Da Jin has promised to negotiate peace, but the matter has not been completed. I will stay overnight to wait for the matter. Return home and hope that the army and the people can work in peace and have no doubts."

After listening to the edict, the people gradually dispersed and went home. Many people stayed up all night, worried and restless.

Also on this day, Kang Wang Zhao Gou received another wax letter in Xiangzhou. This was brought from the capital by a man named Liu Ding. King Kang confirmed that the handwriting on the silk was written by Yubi. The emperor asked him to quickly supervise the troops and rescue the capital.

Liu Ding was ordered to leave the city urgently by Song Qinzong before the city was breached. He told King Kang that the situation in the capital was very critical and it might be difficult to defend it. However, Qin Tsai said two days ago that the capital was unbreakable. The two statements were completely different. King Kang was puzzled as to which statement was true.

After listening to Liu Ding's statement, some people began to panic. King Kang asked Qin Zai to introduce to everyone what he knew about the situation in the capital, in order to appease everyone's emotions and stabilize people's hearts. At the same time, King Kang himself urgently convened a meeting with Wang Boyan, Geng Nanzhong and other knowledgeable people to study and discuss countermeasures.

Song Qinzong spent the whole night in the small house in Qingcheng uneasy. Although the room is small, it is relatively warm and clean. The accompanying officials below the Prime Minister were all arranged in another room. There were neither beds nor luggage inside. They all sat on the ground with their clothes on, waiting for dawn.

The next day, the first day of December, the weather was extremely cold and the snow kept falling. Zong Han and Zong Wang still did not meet with Song Qinzong, but sent Xiao Qing to Qingcheng to ask for a letter of surrender from Song Qinzong.

Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty ordered Sun Zhan, a scholar from Shushe, to draft the draft. Sun Zhan tried his best to refuse, saying that it was not his duty to draft the proposal. Because he knows that whoever drafts the plan to lower the table will definitely suffer infamy in the future.

Song Qinzong also ordered He Li to draft it. He Li didn't want to bear the infamy and said: "Let the ruling party and the waiting party come over, and we can discuss it together."

Chen Guoting, Sun Fu and other ministers did not express their opinions after they came over and remained silent. He Li said: "The Holy One is in trouble, but you all don't care about it. How can you tolerate this?"

At this critical moment of peace negotiations, the ministers were unwilling to come forward and take the blame. Song Qinzong couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and his expression suddenly changed.

Upon seeing this, Sun Zhan hurriedly kowtowed to the ground and expressed his willingness to draft the imperial edict. Therefore, Sun Zhan drafted the first draft of the reduction of the list, which was just to invite peace and proclaim the vassal status.

Xiao Qing took the surrendered watch back, and Zong Han was very dissatisfied after seeing it. Zong Han ordered Xiao Qing to make an outline first, starting with a review of the Maritime Alliance and explaining clearly how the allies turned against each other, where the mistakes were, and where the roots were. Then, he handed this outline to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and asked them to make a surrender according to this intention. Xiao Qing obeyed the order.

Soon, Xiao Qing returned to Qingcheng and conveyed Zong Han's opinions. Sun Zhan then drafted a second draft based on the outline provided by Xiao Qing. Zong Han is still not satisfied with this draft.

Zong Han required that the lowering of the table must be written in four or six parallel prose, with literary talent, and at the same time, more facts should be quoted. Sun Zhan then drafted another draft, but Zong Han called it back again, but he still didn't like it.

Sun Zhan felt that he was not capable of the task, so he asked Wu Kai, the Hanlin official, to draft the order. Wu Kai's writing style was very good, but he tried his best to refuse and refused to write.

Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty was very anxious and urged them: "The matter has come to this, I should show my courtesy with humble words, don't count on empty words, I want to return urgently."

Song Qinzong wanted to complete this matter quickly so as to leave Jinying as soon as possible. Therefore, Sun Zhan, Wu Kai and He Li jointly drafted the draft, and after some deliberation, the draft was finally completed. There are some sentences like this: "The city of Sanza suddenly lost its guard of the fence; the temple of the Seventh Generation is mostly ashes." "It is a long and hard work to ask for mercy; to ask for mercy, dare to waste the lead." The gift of the sheep." "The emperor was guilty of relocation, and his subordinates sacrificed their lives to obey orders." "If the country does not fall, the universe will be peaceful again." and so on.

Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty was very satisfied after seeing it, and said to Sun Xiang: "I am very grateful to you. It is not your usual habit, how can you be like this?"

Xiao Qing sent the manuscript to Zong Han for review, but Zong Han still thought it was unacceptable and revised it himself. Zong Han erased the word "Da Jin" from the manuscript and only called him emperor, and also erased the four words "Emperor of the Song Dynasty". The word "guilt" was also changed to "immoral". He pointed to the word "universe" and said: "Dajin is also the universe, and it can be changed to Huanhai."

Xiao Qing brought Zong Han's revised draft back to Qingcheng, handed it to Song Qinzong for review, and said, "If you have no objections, let's finalize it." Song Qinzong looked at it without moving a word, expressing complete agreement.

Song Qinzong stayed in Jinying and did not return, which affected the hearts of all the people in the capital. People feel hesitant, but they have no idea. Since dawn on the first day of December, many officials, imperial students and ordinary people have gathered in Nanxun Gate, looking forward to it. Because there are rumors that the emperor will return to the city. Some people even came before dawn. They squatted at the gate of Nanxun Gate, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Holy Face.

At noon, the Nanxun Gate suddenly opened. People thought that the emperor was back, and they were all excited and excited. As a result, the emperor sent someone back to get the wine and fruit.

After a while, several chamberlains entered the city with yellow flags, reported to the people that they were safe, and read out the edict: "The peace agreement has been decided, but the etiquette has not been completed. I hope that the people can work in peace and that there will be no worries."

Song Qinzong was very moved when he learned that tens of thousands of people were waiting inside Nanxun Gate. In the evening, he specially sent Wei Shoulong to the city again to deliver the edict: "The peace agreement has been decided, and we are just waiting for etiquette to be known to each order. Come to the city in the future and celebrate with the people." Knowing that the emperor still did not return today, people were confused and uneasy.

That night, some people did not go home and stayed in the royal corridors on both sides of the street, preparing to continue to welcome the emperor tomorrow. Because it has been snowing for days, no one came to clean it, so the ground was a little muddy. In order to make the road easier for the emperor when he came back, some women and children filled the fronts of their clothes with dry soil and spread it on the road.

That night, every family in the city burned incense and prayed, hoping that the emperor would come back safely.

It was also on this day that Kang Wang Zhao Gou formally established the Military Marshal's Mansion in Xiangzhou. King Kang wore a scarlet jade belt and said to everyone, "This scarlet jade belt was given to me by the emperor before I left."

This scarlet jade belt was originally worn by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Last winter, when Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty enthroned Zen, he released it and gave it to Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty. Now, King Kang wears it as the general of the army, probably to show everyone that he will not forget the emperor's trust.

Since Song Qinzong and his entourage walked out of Nanxunmen on November th and moved into Qingcheng, they have been tightly controlled by the Jin army in the name of security protection. Jin Bing had contact with Song Qinzong's imperial guards from time to time, but kept a certain distance. Occasionally, they would quietly stand together and chat for a few words. When the leader of the Jin Army found out, he waved his hand to stop them.
