One Piece of Song Dynasty

On the same day, Xiao Qing suddenly hurried into the palace and said to Song Qinzong: "The second prince, Marshal, suddenly has an eye disease and is suffering unspeakably. Please send an imperial doctor to treat him as soon as possible."

Without saying a word, Song Qinzong immediately ordered the Imperial Medical College to send the best imperial doctors to treat him.

On this day, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty also issued an edict to allow hundreds of officials to enter and exit in sedan chairs.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has had strict regulations on the means of transportation used by officials to travel. Except for special circumstances, officials are generally not allowed to travel in sedan chairs, but on horseback. Most officials in the Song Dynasty were reluctant to ride in sedan chairs, thinking that riding in sedan chairs was "replacing humans with animals", which was very inhumane. Generally, women, brides and elderly people travel in sedan chairs.

Now, the reason why Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty issued such an edict was because all the horses used by officials in the capital were given to the Jin people, and they had to walk to and from get off work every day.

That night, Tianbao Temple suddenly caught fire. The fire spread everywhere. More than nearby people's houses were burned into ruins by the fire.

The Kaifeng Mansion suspected that someone was setting the fire deliberately to antagonize the imperial court's purchase of gold and silver. Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to investigate thoroughly and deal with it strictly. What troubles Song Qinzong is that the issue of gold and silver has made difficult progress and has achieved little success so far.

On December , Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict saying that because gold and silver were in urgent need, all the families of scholars and common people were stingy and unwilling to accept them. The court can clearly mark the price and sell it based on the size of the official title. At the same time, he betrayed the monk's purple clothes and his master's title.

However, to Song Qinzong's disappointment, no one in the capital came to respond after the announcement was sent out.

The Jurchens believe in shamanism. Shaman means wizard in Tungus language. Shamanism is a polytheistic religion that reflects primitive beliefs. In ancient northern my country, many ethnic groups believed in shamanism. Shamanism believes that various animals and plants, and even natural phenomena such as the sun, moon, stars, clouds, thunder and lightning, all have gods, that is, all things have animism. Everything is controlled by the gods, and the gods are the greatest gods. All existence is the will of God. Therefore, Jurchens pay special attention to respecting heaven.

The Khitan people also believed in shamanism in the early days. Later, with the development of economy and society, Buddhism became popular in Liao Kingdom. After the Jurchens established the Jin Kingdom, especially during the overthrow of the Liao regime, some upper-class Jurchens also began to have a strong interest in Buddhism and gradually began to believe in Buddhism.

Wanyan Zongwang believed in Buddhism and was known as the "Bodhisattva Prince". He sent people many times to invite Buddhist masters from Daxiangguo Temple to preach Buddhism in the Liujiasi military camp. Not long ago, Master Zhihai Zenji Shouyi was invited by Zong Wang to Liujia Temple. After listening to the explanation, Zongwang was very happy and said to Shouyi: "When we withdraw our troops in the future, I hope that master can go north together." Shouyi agreed wholeheartedly.

After Shouyi returned to Daxiangguo Temple, he meditated for several days. In the evening of that day, he took a bath and changed clothes, said goodbye to the monks, then went up to the pavilion to meditate, and soon passed away. After the news came out, people were all surprised.

On December , Zongwang sent envoys to the Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense and make offerings to the Buddha. He also gave the Daxiangguo Temple a thousand pieces of gold and asked them to bury him well. The envoy Jin also climbed up to the pavilion, stood in silence beside Shouyi, and left after a while.

New Year's Eve is coming soon. At this time in the past, the city of Tokyo had already been decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and everyone was beaming with joy. But now, it’s freezing cold and snowy for days. The citizens of Tokyo, who are living in hunger and cold, are all worried about saving their lives. Who has the heart to celebrate the New Year?

Song Qinzong felt very sad when he thought about the hard life of the soldiers and civilians in the capital. He had previously issued an edict, allowing the soldiers and civilians in the city to cut down the flowers and trees on Long live mountain to use as firewood to light fires for warmth. Wansui Mountain is Genyue. It is a royal garden that was started in the seventh year of Zhenghe and completed in the fourth year of Xuanhe. It was first named Wansui Mountain and later changed its name to Genyue. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty personally wrote the imperial record of Genyue, but the people still used to call it Genyue. Long Live Mountain.

There are a number of precious flowers and trees on Long Live Mountain, forming more than garden attractions, such as Yingbanzhu, Zijun Pavilion, Lilac Barrage, Yingxi Cave, Orange Forest, Meihua Ridge, Ruixiang Garden, Bihua Stream, Cuiyun Cave, etc. , but they were all cut down by the military and civilians. There were also many strange pines, cypresses, junipers, oranges, pomelos, willows and other trees, which were also "plucked out" by the soldiers and civilians.

These rare flowers, trees, bamboos and stones were all collected by Zhu Meng from central Zhejiang for Huizong of the Song Dynasty. During the transportation process, a lot of people's and financial resources were consumed, which was the so-called "Huashi Gang", which aroused public resentment and even led to Fangla's uprising. Song Qinzong hated Zhu Meng very much and had no good impression of these exotic flowers, trees, bamboos and stones.

On December , Song Qinzong issued another edict, allowing the army and the people to demolish the houses on Long live mountain to use as firewood. When the soldiers and civilians heard the news, they rushed to the scene and fought with each other. There were also casualties of "trampling and crushing to the dead".

At noon that day, the famous Jin envoy was having dinner with the Song Dynasty envoy in the capital hall. Suddenly, there were shouts from soldiers and civilians from far and near. The escort put down his chopsticks and ran out, and came back soon. The envoy Jin asked: "What happened outside?"

The envoy replied: "Today the emperor issued an imperial edict, allowing people to go to Long live mountain to demolish houses to make firewood. Just now, the Jiangxiao Tower collapsed and crushed some people to death."

The envoy Jin smiled and said: "When the people fight against each other, the strong will inevitably gain and the weak will lose. Moreover, there have been accidents in which people were crushed and killed. Why don't you ask the officials to organize people to demolish them and then disperse them?" "Zhi" picks up the companion and makes him speechless.

Ding Teqi, a student of the Imperial Academy, said with emotion in the Record of the Lonely Official Crying His Blood: "Oh, the Holy Emperor went to the garden to watch, and allowed the people to collect firewood. It can be said that the officials who were virtuous and followed had no scriptures. They wanted to benefit the people, but they failed. Therefore, it is deplorable to harm them and make fun of the barbarians."

In recent days, people in Tokyo have a common feeling, that is, the number of drumming by the Jin Army has significantly decreased. When the Jin army first besieged the city, they would beat drums four times in the military camp every night or from to p.m. When they first arrived at the outer city, the Jin army beat drums on the city wall, which they called peace drums. Every time the drum was beaten, the heaven and earth shook, and the walls of the houses in the city shook, which made people feel uneasy.

Now, Jin Jun only plays the drum once in a while. Probably they have been tired after living under the city for a long time, and are not as excited and restless as they were when they besieged the city.

King Kang and General Zhao Gou were in Daming Mansion in Beijing. They felt uneasy every day and felt that they could not stay here for long. He convened several meetings with his shogunate staff to discuss what to do next.

Deputy Marshal Zongze's point of view is: "The capital has been besieged for a long time, and it is urgent to rescue the capital."

At this time, the emperor's secret edict sent by Cao Fu, the Privy Councilor, happened to be transferred from Caozhou to sign. Only then did Zhao Gou know that the Jin people had ascended the city but had not gathered their troops yet. The emperor said in a secret edict that peace had been negotiated with the Jin people and that King Kang and other soldiers should not move lightly.

Zhao Gou covered his face and cried: "This edict must have been written by the Jin people under duress."
