One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 467 Jingkang Difficulty (85)

On the evening of the sixth day of February, in the city of Tokyo, Sun Fu, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe and others, as the top decision-makers of the Northern Song Dynasty government, stayed up all night. When they remembered what Wu Kai and Mo Chen said, they became frightened and frightened. Wu Kai and Mo Chuan said: "The marshal has an order. If the emperor and his subordinates do not leave the city at the time of declaration tomorrow, they will send troops into the city from all sides to kill people."

At dawn the next day, Sun Fu, Wang Shiyong and others came to Yanfu Palace again, and made a memorial to the emperor, asking the emperor, the kings and concubines to leave the city and go to the Jin army to plead with the marshal to let the emperor return to the city. They concealed the truth and did not say that the emperor had been deposed by the Jin people. In fact, their purpose was to deceive the Tai Huang and the queens and concubines out of the city, so as to prevent the Jin army from entering the city and massacre.

Soon, the Queen Mother was also brought to Yanfu Palace.

However, Song Huizong was hesitant. He really didn't want to see the Jin people. He clearly knew that if he left the city, he would probably never return, so he did not agree.

Wang Shiyong was very anxious when he saw this. He hurriedly discussed with Mo Chou and summoned Fan Qiong, the commander of the four walls of the capital. Mo Chou explained the situation to Fan Qiong and asked him to force the emperor to leave the city by force. Fan Qiong agreed without hesitation.

Fan Qiong led his troops to Yanfu Palace and said to Song Huizong: "Now that Tai has become the king of subjugation, it is imperative to do so. I have prepared a bamboo sedan chair."

When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty heard this, he burst into tears. He had no choice but to leave Yanfu Palace in a bamboo sedan and headed to Nanxunmen in tears. All the kings, concubines, etc. also took the carriage and went there one by one.

The people in the city saw so many royal cars heading towards Nanxunmen and wondered what was going on. Under the west corner building, two common people wanted to stop Song Huizong's bamboo sedan, but they didn't have time. After a while, they saw King Yan coming on horseback, so they stopped him and said, "All the relatives of the king's family have gone. What will happen to the lives of this city? It's better to leave one person behind to save the country."

King Yan replied with tears: "Dajin wants me, teach me what to do."

The two said: "In fact, the people are willing to live and die with the king."

After Fan Qiong learned of the situation, he ordered the two commoners to be arrested and killed immediately.

In fact, Sun Fu didn't want to give all the Zhao and Song royal families to the Jin people. He wanted to hide some of them. However, when Wu Kai showed him the list, he was dumbfounded. The Jin people had all the information about the members of the Zhao and Song royal families. This list was provided to the Jin people by Deng Shu and those in charge of the palace. Deng Shu was also a chamberlain and once served as the deputy director of Zhending Mansion. After the fall of Zhending, Deng Shu surrendered to the Jin people, who asked him to serve with the army.

Not long ago, the Jin people took away forty-five servants. After asking about their respective responsibilities, they sent half of them back, leaving only those in charge of the palace. Sun Fu and other left-behind ministers "didn't understand his plan" and thought that the Jin people wanted to imitate what the Song Dynasty Jinzhong did. It wasn't until he saw the list of royal families presented by Wu Kai that Sun Fu suddenly realized that the Jin people had already planned to wipe out all the Zhao and Song royal families.

Zhang Shuye was very disapproving of Song Huizong's departure from the city to meet the marshal of the Jin army. He said: "As soon as the emperor leaves today, he will never come back. Your Majesty is not allowed to leave again. I should lead the app download address xbzs elite troops to escort him out of the encirclement. It's just a matter of luck. Even if the enemy rides and chases them, I should fight to the death with my life, and your majesty may be able to survive. If God does not banish the Song Dynasty, if you die in the border area, you will not be trapped in Yi Di."

Song Huizong felt that it was too late to break through at this time, so he hesitated. Now, under the pressure of Fan Qiong, Xu Bingzhe and others, Song Huizong had to leave the palace, and he had no choice. He knew very well that the Jin invasion was directly related to him. If he can get Zhao Huan back by leaving the city, end this war, and save millions of lives in the city from suffering at the cost of his own safety, then it would be worthwhile. He said: "If we can guarantee that the emperor will return and the depositors will not enter the city, I will be a hostage and I will never refuse."

However, Song Huizong knew that the Jin people were cunning, so he had to prepare for the worst. He handed a sword to his attendants, and at the critical moment, he wanted to take his own life with it.

On February th, following Huizong of the Song Dynasty out of the city, there were more than kings below King Yun, as well as concubines, princesses, captains, etc., together with the accompanying maids, there were more than people.

Song Huizong came to Nanxun Gate, which was closed. He walked out of the bamboo sedan, and after waiting for a while, the door opened, and the golden cavalry walked out of Wengcheng, surrounding Song Huizong and headed for Qingcheng.

As soon as Song Huizong entered the Jin army camp, he felt that the situation was not good, so he stamped his feet and shouted: "The incident has happened." He ordered his followers to quickly get their sabers and prepare to commit suicide. However, the saber had already been seized by the Jin people.

At this time, Zong Han and Zong Wang were sitting in Duancheng Hall waiting for Song Huizong. Zong Han sat in the north, facing south. Zong Wang sat on the east side, facing west. They arranged for Song Huizong to sit in the west, facing east.

As soon as Song Huizong entered the door, he asked sternly: "You said that the former emperor made great achievements in Song Dynasty, but I made great achievements in you. If the Liao Dynasty attacks me, I will be willing to do so. You raised an army last year, and I passed the throne to your heir, so I cut it off." The city has rewarded the army, and you are returning. Now that I have raised troops, I claim that the heir has broken his promise. You have written down an oath to deny that you do not believe it. It is Xiao Qing, Wang Ru and others who taught you to do it. Please call Xiao Qing and others to come and testify with me. "How can I be afraid of death?" Zong Han and Zong Wang were both silent, and Xiao Qing and others did not come out.

Song Huizong sat down for a moment, then got up and walked out of the door. He walked to the east corridor and met Song Qinzong. Song Qinzong supported Song Huizong in front of him and "wept for a long time".

Song Huizong said sadly: "If you had listened to my father's words, you would not have suffered today's disaster."

After Song Qinzong was abolished, who would govern the Central Plains on behalf of the Jin people? Zong Han was troubled by this. Zong Han knew that this must be done with Han talents. At first, he planned to find a credible Han official from within the army to replace Song Qinzong. He first wanted to use Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing strongly refused. Later, he planned to use Liu Yanzong, but Liu Yanzong also tried his best to refuse, saying that he did not dare to take the role.

Therefore, Zong Han had to expand his scope and focus on the former Song Dynasty officials who were detained in the Jin camp. He once took a fancy to Sima Pu, but Sima Pu did not accept it either.

Before the fall of Tokyo City, Sima Pu was forcibly detained by Zong Han when he went out of the city to negotiate with Jinying as a minister of the Ministry of War. At that time, most of the many envoys sent by the Song Dynasty could not see Zong Han and Zong Wang. Even if they met occasionally, the two of them would sit arrogantly in the tent, ordering the soldiers to lead the envoys to worship at the court. On the day Sima Pu came to pay his respects, Zong Han met him and asked him about his family. Sima Pu replied: "The ancestor, the Prime Minister Guang."

When Zong Han heard this, he said in awe, "Queen of Sages." So, his reception to Sima Pu was beyond the norm and he was very polite.

Now, when Sima Pu learned that the emperor had been deposed, he immediately wrote to Zong Han and Zong Wang, condemning them for changing the peace agreement without authorization, and advised them to put righteousness first and withdraw their orders. Although Zong Han didn't listen, he still respected Sima Pu.
