One Piece of Song Dynasty

The soldiers and civilians in the city did not know about the secret agreement reached between Song Qinzong and the Jin people. When they saw that the holy driver still hadn't returned, they became even more suspicious. Various speculations were spread everywhere, and people were panicked. Someone asked the Privy Council to issue weapons for emergency use, but the Privy Council refused. So people gathered in secret and prepared weapons privately.

After the Kaifeng Prefecture received the report, they were worried that something might happen to these people, so they ordered their arrests. Seventeen people including Li Bao were arrested and beheaded. Li Bao is the leader, known as Xiao Guansuo. Kaifeng Mansion ordered the soldiers to carry their heads with spears and go around the city to show off.

In the afternoon of that day, Wu Ge came to the Privy Council to see Sun Fu and Zhang Shuye, and asked to go to Qingcheng to negotiate with the Jin people in order to save Sheng. Sun Fu was not around at that time, so Zhang Shuye asked: "The plan will be settled."

Wu Ge replied: "After Ge arrived at the Jin camp, there were three things to discuss: one chariot returned to the country, two Jin people returned home, and three Ge died."

Zhang Shuye understood Wu Ge's intention. Wu Ge wanted to take advantage of the negotiation opportunity after reaching the Jin camp, risking his life to kidnap the Jin army marshal, and order him to return to the Holy Land and withdraw his troops. Zhang Shuye left Wu Ge's request and planned to find an opportunity to hand it over to the Jin people.

After Sun Fu came back, Zhang Shuye said to him excitedly: "Wu Ge has a plan to ensure peace for the two dynasties forever. He is willing to go to the Jin army to negotiate."

Sun Fu believed that Wu Ge's move was inappropriate and that if it failed, it would endanger the safety of the saint, so he shelved the request.

On the rd of the first lunar month, the sky was overcast and haze obscured the sun. Sun Fu, Mei Zhili, Zhang Shuye and other ministers saw that the capital was under siege for a long time, and the number of people dying of hunger and freezing on the roadside every day was increasing, so after discussion, they issued an order in the name of the crown prince who was supervising the country to add a new emperor. Corn farm and firewood farm. At the same time, it was stipulated that each person should not exceed five liters of millet and five kilograms of salary, and they should be sold at one or two tenths of the market price.

After the news spread, people rushed to the rice farms and charcoal farms one after another. "Buyers, scholars, and common people all mixed together."

On the same day, Kaifeng Prefecture issued a notice ordering those who originally opened pawnshops to continue to open their doors. If you don't obey the order, you will be allowed to report and you will be rewarded with fifty guan.

Since the fall of the city, the pawnshops have been closed. For Kaifeng Mansion to issue such a notice at this time, no one was interested and no one followed it.

In the evening, there were rumors in the city that the Holy Master might come back today. In fact, it was Song Qinzong who sent people back to the city to give Kaifeng Prefecture Governor Xu Bingzhe an edict. The specific content was: I have been sleeping on the earth bed for more than twenty days. Don't be afraid of hard work. If you have any need, you will do your best to respond.

This edict was actually written by Song Qinzong at the request of Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing told Song Qinzong that because the gold and silver were not enough, the Jin people were about to enter the city to demand people and things. He asked Song Qinzong to issue an edict to Xu Bingzhe and ask the Kaifeng Mansion to actively cooperate.

One day later, on the th of the first lunar month, the weather suddenly changed and it suddenly started snowing heavily, which was very cold. Some people in the capital who are familiar with yin and yang mathematics believe that the abnormal climate is caused by the murderous energy of yin.

On this day, Xiao Qing came to Kaifeng Mansion holding Song Qinzong's edict, and asked Xu Bingzhe for five types of talents on behalf of the second commander:

. Forty-five people including imperial ministers, Fangmai doctors, religious teachers, and chamberlains.

. There were thousands of courtesans and prostitutes on the terrace, and hundreds of singing and dancing maids from Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng and other families.

. There were more than professional craftsmen from the Ordnance Supervision Department of the Inner Palace who built the Imperial Garden, Wensi Yuan, Mingtang and other projects, as well as the construction and construction soldiers of the Guanggu Department of the Inner Palace.

. There are more than craftsmen who make belts and hats, create gold and silver, tie pens, make ink, carve, and draw pictures.

. There are more than artists in drama, talking, shadow play, singing, puppet playing, somersaults, zither, pipa, sheng, etc.

Xiao Qing ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to organize these people and escort them to the army in batches.

After that, Kaifeng Prefecture soldiers began to fight for the list, "randomly seizing the people and property". Each time a group was gathered, they set off from the city and escorted them to the Jin army. Everyone who is listed among them will support the old and the young, and the whole family will accompany them. Relatives and old friends all came to see me off, weeping as they parted. "The sound of crying filled the alleys."

When Song Qinzong learned that Sun Fu and other ministers had issued decrees in the name of the Crown Prince, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. He requested to meet and talk with Zong Han, hoping to let him return to the city as soon as possible, but was rejected. Zong Han appointed Xiao Qing as an envoy to send messages back and forth. Song Qinzong then asked Xiao Qing to send a message to Zong Han. He wanted to send Prime Minister He Li back to the city to deliver the order and open a warehouse to release grain to relieve the people. In fact, Song Qinzong's real purpose was to declare to the officials and the people of the capital that he was still the emperor and could still issue orders. Zong Han quickly responded and agreed.

On the th of the first lunar month, the snow was still falling and the roads were covered with several feet of snow. Prime Minister He Li was ordered to return to the city. The Shangshu Province immediately posted a notice saying: Your servant She Heli has returned to the city. He said that the people in the city were frozen and exhausted. The emperor burst into tears when he heard this. The imperial edict said: I went out to meet the two marshals in the suburbs. Before the discussion was completed, it was snowing for days, there was a lack of salary and food, and every family was poor. It pained me. We have been ordered to sell firewood and rice at a reduced price, so that the common people will have less money. There is still no need to gather in groups to wait for the driver, as this will cause serious exposure. I have betrayed the people, what can I say if I shed tears?

When the people in the capital heard the news, they were all moved to tears. Since Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty left the city, they have been picking up people every day. From Xuande Gate to Nanjing Gate, there are countless people in the sea. No matter it is windy, cold, rainy or snowy, the number does not decrease.

Later, Kaifeng Prefecture set up rice selling stores in Xiangguo Temple, Dingli Temple, Baosheng Temple, and Xingguo Temple. Each person was allowed to buy three liters of rice and pay sixty-two Wen. However, due to improper handling at the beginning, people flocked to it. Only the strong benefited, and it was difficult for ordinary people to buy it. Soon, Kaifeng Prefecture posted a notice: no soldiers were allowed to enter, men and women were separated, and purchases were made on single and double days. From there, the distribution was somewhat even.

On this day, Xiao Qing, appointed by Zong Han and Zong Wang, and Deng Gui, the internal servant who had surrendered to the Jin people, came to Kaifeng Mansion again with the imperial edict from Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty and requested the following matters:

. The five chariots and ceremonial chariots used by the Dharma Drivers, the chariots and ceremonial guards below the queen, the chariots and ceremonial guards below the crown prince and kings, the chariots and ceremonial guards for hundreds of officials, ritual utensils, ritual objects, ritual scriptures, and rituals.
