One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 477 Jingkang Difficulty (95)

At this time, the personnel stationed in Dongping Mansion mainly consisted of two groups. One is to follow various people from the Marshal's Mansion. Most of them are from near Tokyo. They miss their families and are willing to go south. The second was the King Qin soldiers from the counties in Hebei. They were afraid of going south to fight the Jin people, so they did not want to go south and wanted to return north.

Most of these soldiers who wanted to return to the north did not want to go south after hearing that the Generalissimo's Mansion wanted to go to Jeju. So, in the early morning of February th, while it was still dark, they secretly set fire to the north gate of the city and in front of the government office, "in order to frighten the army."

After Zhang Jun, the commander of the rear army of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, received the report, he decisively sent troops to "capture and exterminate them." The conspiracy to create chaos in the army failed in the end.

Kang Wang and others were not disturbed and set off as planned. That night, they stayed in Zhongdu.

On the same day, groups of people in Tokyo were sent out of the city. They were bustling and bustling, "skidding each other on the road." Among these people were relatives of the royal family and concubines, but most of them were family members of those skilled in craftsmanship who had been sent to the Jin Army before. Regardless of whether they were young or old, they cried as they walked, and "the sound of wailing reached far and near."

When leaving Nanxun Gate, they all had to be inspected by the Jin Army one by one. The Jin people found gold and silver in their carry-on luggage.

This situation was quickly reported to Zong Han. Zong Han was furious and rebuked Xiao Qing and others: "They all thought they were dead, and each had his own criminal record, but now he is so evil."

The Jin people then sent a document to the Left Behind Department and Kaifeng Mansion, demanding that gold and silver be included again. The wording of the ultimatum is stern, and the supervision and accountability are urgent. The left-behind department and the Kaifeng Prefecture did not dare to resist, so they had to publish a notice and arrange for officials to organize the campaign in separate sections, just like the first campaign.

The capital was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds. "The people are in panic and there is almost no business."

That night, Princess Xin committed suicide in Qingcheng Village. King Xin Zhao Zhen was the eighteenth son of Song Huizong. There were also reports from various military villages that women had died one after another, and the gold and silver ornaments they carried were found from their bodies.

On February st, Kaifeng Prefecture set up dozens of purchase points on the four walls of the capital. They used copper coins to buy gold and silver, and official money piled up like mountains. Every tael of gold can be exchanged for thirty-two thousand yuan, and every two taels of silver can be exchanged for twenty-five hundred yuan. Many citizens came carrying gold, silver or products to exchange.

Not only that, the Kaifeng Prefecture also posted a notice saying: Citizens can exchange one tael of gold for four buckets of rice, one stone, and one tael of silver for one bucket of rice. At this time, the people were short of food and had no use for gold and silver, so they were very happy to trade.

Kaifeng Mansion sent people to Qingcheng in batches to deliver the purchased gold and silver to the Jin Army.

On this day, Li Ruoshui and deputy envoy Wang Lu were summoned by Zong Han in Qingcheng State Prime Minister's Army Village. Zong Han hoped that they would support the creation of a different surname as emperor, and also hope that they would take up official positions. However, Li Ruoshui made it clear that he was firmly opposed.

Zong Han asked: "Why, you are the only one who refuses to create a different surname?"

Li Ruoshui replied: "The emperor regretted his repentance and abdicated the throne. The Lord is filial, kind, diligent and thrifty, and has no wrongdoing. How can he dismiss the establishment lightly?"

Zong Han said: "Emperor Zhao broke his promise and caused the people in the north and south to behave like this. Isn't it wrong?"

Li Ruoshui argued: "If breaking one's trust is an offense, then the prime minister of the country also has five reasons for breaking one's trust, and then the public is the one who breaks one's trust."

Then, Li Ruoshui listed the places where Zong Han failed to trust one by one, and finally said: "You invaded the country of others, and did not care about the safety and livelihood of the people. You only plundered the children of gold and silk to enrich yourself. You are just a big thief, and your country will be destroyed soon." "

Zong Han was furious and ordered: "Put out the punishment"

A group of golden soldiers rushed over and tied up Li Ruoshui and Wang Lu. They were not afraid and walked out, looking back and yelling. Li Ruoshui and Wang Lu's entourage were also tied up by the Jin soldiers.

The Jin soldiers took Li Ruoshui and others to the foot of a round hill near the southern suburbs, where they prepared to execute them. Li Ruoshui looked up to the sky and sighed, reciting a song, the last two lines of which were: "If you bow your head to the sky, the soldiers are speechless. If a loyal minister dies in service, why die?"

Li Ruoshui turned around and said to his follower Xie Ning: "I will die for the country, and it is in vain that I will burden you."

The prisoner asked: "Is it true that the minister has served you and you have never come back?"

Li Ruoshui glared at the prisoner fiercely and "severely cursed him." The prisoner was furious and raised his fist, breaking Li Ruoshui's lips and teeth. Li Ruoshui's expression remained motionless, blood spurted from his mouth, "the more he scolded, the more he got angry."

The prisoner was so angry that he slashed Li Ruoshui's cheek with a knife and cut off his tongue. Then, "Kill him and take his head off."

Li Ruoshui's deeds of refusing to surrender soon spread in Jinying. The Jin people admired him very much. They said: "When the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, ten of the righteous people died. In the Southern Dynasties, there is only one person named Li Shilang."

When Zong Wang heard about the murder of Li Ruoshui and Wang Lu, he sighed: "If everyone in the Southern Dynasty had two sons like this, how could things happen today?"

A few months later, when the Southern Song Dynasty was established, officials wrote to Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, to praise Li Ruoshui: "When Qingcheng was abandoned, I only took the orders of Hongmao to argue about the side of the knife and saw. Righteousness is reflected in color, and death is not fate. He has a strong sense of integrity, and he is worthy of it." the ancients"

Jingkang Xiaoya believed that Li Ruoshui should be the first among those who died in Jingkang's difficulties, so he wrote a poem for him: "Li Gong is fierce and virtuous, and he is truly full of virtue." The righteousness is moving and bright, and the energy penetrates the metal and stone. Defeat the captive camp and establish a loyal and loyal army. The people's worries were unfounded, and the great garrison was abandoned. The prince ignored him, but the two chieftains scolded him. Be brave enough to thunder, and the heaven and earth will move. Life is as light as a feather, but fame is as high as Diji. The fire that started a prairie fire will not change the blue jade. The overwhelming drowning, the mainstay is independent. He died in his rightful place and shone brightly in the book.

On the day when Li Ruoshui died heroically, King Kang set out from Zhongdu in the morning and stayed in Rencheng at night.

At this time, those soldiers who wanted to return north were still unwilling to go south. In the evening, they found some tables and chairs and placed them across the street to restrict traffic. They planned to light fires after dark and start a rebellion. Fortunately, this conspiracy was discovered by Zhang Jun. He took advantage of the opportunity of patrolling the village to capture the rebels and beheaded them in public.

Two rebellions in the army were crushed by Zhang Jun as soon as they emerged. Zhang Jun's keen insight and courage are evident from this.

Zong Han had already realized that Kang Wang Zhao Gou, who had slipped through the net, was a big hidden danger to Daikin. Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty had already issued an order: "Urge Zhao Gou to return as soon as possible, so as not to breed evil." Zong Han also sent spies to investigate many times, but no trace of King Kang Zhao Gou was ever found.

On February , King Kang's mother, Wei Shi, received orders from the Jin people and came to the Marshal's Mansion from the Zhai Palace. Zong Han asked her: "Where is Zhao Gou now?"

Webster replied: "I don't know."

Zonghan was very dissatisfied with Wei's answer and refused to allow her to return to the Zhai Palace. He locked her up in the Shoushengyuan with Xing, the wife of King Kang.

Zong Han sent Xiao Qing to send a message to Song Huizong, asking him to issue a handwriting to King Kang to return to the capital. Zong Han asked Huizong of the Song Dynasty to send envoys to various places in Hebei to find Zhao Gou and deliver the handwriting.
