One Piece of Song Dynasty

After Zhang Bangchang entered the tent, he cried a few more times. After a while, he came out wearing an ocher robe, walked to the mattress in the center of the Royal Street, a seat covered with brocade mattresses, looked to the north in the direction of the Kingdom of Jin, bowed and danced, and knelt down to receive the treasures registered by the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin. The brief text of the book says: "Zhang Bangchang, the great prime minister, is a man of great wisdom and wisdom. He is known as a loyal and good man. He hears the names of filial friends at home and fulfills his destiny. It is the result of human affection. He chooses a virtuous man, not a son." Who is the one who appointed you as the emperor? The country is named Dachu, and the capital is Jinling. From beyond the Yellow River, except Xixia, the battlefield is sealed, and you will still assist the royal family and serve as a vassal forever."

Then, holding a big red umbrella, the golden man accompanied Zhang Bangchang back to the tent. Soon, Zhang Bangchang walked out of the tent, and under the guidance of hundreds of officials, he entered the palace from Xuande Gate, walked along the Daqing Hall to the front of the Wende Hall, and introduced the imperial chariot. He refused to ride, so he came out of the imperial carriage and ascended to the palace on foot. Another chair was placed on the west side of the imperial bed in Wende Hall. He sat on the chair and accepted the congratulations of the officials around him.

All civil and military officials soon gathered together, and Wang Shiyong was ready to lead everyone to salute the new emperor collectively. Zhang Bangchang stood up after hearing the news and sent an order to stop him: "Don't worship."

Wang Shiyong and others earnestly requested to bow, and Zhang Bangchang issued another order: "I am a living being, and I don't dare to steal the throne. If you don't listen, you should avoid it."

Wang Shiyong refused to listen and led all his officials to pay homage. Upon seeing this, Zhang Bangchang hurriedly turned around, faced east, and "stand with his hands folded."

A guard who witnessed this scene commented privately: "We usually see actors performing in dramas and pretending to be officials. Today Zhang Dazai pretended to be an official."

On the day when Zhang Bangchang was canonized by the Jinren, the sky was gloomy, the sun was dim, the dust was flying, and it was hazy. All the civil and military officials looked miserable, and Zhang Bangchang also looked sad. Only Wang Shiyong, Wu Kai, Mo Chou, Zuo Yan, Fan Qiong, etc. were "happy as if they had gained something." Because these people are all those who contributed to Zhang Bangchang's ascension to the throne. Wu Kai and Mo Chuan were people who shuttled between the Jin army and the left-behind officials to discuss matters; Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe were the people who forcefully forced Song Huizong and other royal family members to leave the capital; Fan Qiong and Zuo Yan were threats with military power. A person who terrorizes the people of the capital.

When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty learned about Zhang Bangchang's usurpation of the throne in Qingcheng, he said with emotion: "Bangchang swore to death for the country, and the country will gain weight. Today, the position of the corpse king is still a common one, but it is of great importance. Since we have established different surnames, my affairs will be decided." That's it." After saying that, he burst into tears.

A minister wrote a poem to comfort Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. One of the lines of the poem said: "Yi Yin will definitely return to the Shang State, and Huo Guang will eventually become a neighbor of the Han Dynasty." As Huizong read it, he sighed: "When he returns to the Shang Dynasty, he will prosper the Han Dynasty. Then I am already in the north of Longhuang."

Song Huizong already knew that the Jin people planned to move him north to the Jin Kingdom. He hoped to stay in the southeast area, and he asked Jiang Yaochen to write a letter to Zong Wang on his behalf to express this wish. The letter said: "A certain Sumu Mountain Forest, after thanking you and resigning from power, he will stop the official work of the discipline. His crime is absolutely inviolable. I want to evade my responsibility. I thought that God Yu had moved to a foreign country and wanted to beg from a county in the southeast to enjoy the blood of my ancestors. I couldn't bear my great wish."

Of course Zong Wang could not agree. The Jin people only negotiated all their plans with Song Qinzong and did not contact Song Huizong. There may be two reasons for this: First, in terms of position, after all, Song Qinzong is the one who has the right to make decisions; Song Huizong has stepped down and has no say. Second, from the perspective of personality, Song Qinzong has a relatively weak personality and is easy to discuss everything; while Song Huizong has a relatively strong personality and is not easy to deal with.

Song Huizong's strong character was clearly demonstrated when he first arrived at Zhai Palace in the southern suburbs. At that time, Zonghan sent Dai Taishi, Sha Shaoshi and other three people to come and ask for the letter of Zhang Jue's surrender to the court, as well as the relevant documents of the imperial court's order to behead Zhang Jue.

Song Huizong had a tough attitude towards them and said rudely: "When Zhang Jue surrendered, there was no agreement between the two parties. Therefore, accepting Zhang Jue is not considered a breach of contract. Later, I received a document from your Shanxi army asking for Zhang Jue. , I immediately ordered to behead him as a sacrifice. You don’t care about the details, but accuse me of betraying the alliance and betraying the treaty. Why is it that the city is destroyed and the country is destroyed? Disasters have happened like this. Why does the writing have already transferred the relevant situation to the country? Life and death, everything It’s just life, you don’t have to take this as your goal.”

The three of them were unable to cope with it and never came to ask for it again.

Song Huizong thought about it and decided to take all the responsibilities himself, hoping that the Jin people would let his son Zhao Huan go. So, he made a self-made note and gave it to Zong Han, which roughly stated: "The alliance formed over the sea is said to be happy for eternity. Although he tried to recruit Zhang Jue, he was ordered to kill him in return. The crime was not serious. But the soldiers came one after another. It was because they were provocative, so he abdicated his position and went south to avoid the crime.

After returning, he lived in a Taoist palace, where he cultivated his soul peacefully and never interfered with the affairs of the state. However, treacherous ministers were waiting for an opportunity to drive a wedge between father and son. Even though soldiers came from the south, there was no retribution. Zhifantian asked Sujia to come to the city. When the city was defeated, he realized that the three passes were defeated. Gai's heir cannot abide by the covenant of a great power, and he also has the discipline of being unjust.

Things have come to this suddenly. Whoever is responsible is still loyal and sincere. Please pray for Hong Ting. A certain man was willing to take the place of his heir and go to the palace far away, but he ordered a certain man and others to beg a small misty county in Guangnan to worship their ancestors for the rest of their lives. A certain person is willing to take the ax and the ax to listen to the orders of the great country. I am sincere and eager to wait for the order. "

Two days later, Zonghan sent someone to send Zhazi back, and said: "I have inherited the text, but the alliance of the three passes has not been abandoned since the beginning. It is said that there will be no descendants, and the country is in danger. Although I have inherited Zhazi, I dare not betray the Yuan Dynasty. I have made an appointment, and I am more willing to take my companions to command. Please don't worry, Your Majesty, but be at ease and embrace this prince."

After Zhang Bangchang ascended the throne, he felt very uneasy. Maybe some people dream of being an emperor, but for Zhang Bangchang, this is a very painful thing.

In fact, being a puppet emperor is not a happy thing in any era.

Although the purpose of Zhang Bangchang's ascension to the throne was to prevent the Jin army from massacre and to save the people of the city, he was also a person who was familiar with history books and should have known that he would bear historical infamy for this act, and might even die for it.

Although he is very reluctant to ascend the throne, now that he has ascended the throne, he must pursue his own affairs in his position. This is a matter of course. On March , Zhang Bangchang began to appoint officials to establish central government agencies. He added the word "quan" before all official positions, which means temporary agency.

Zhang Bangchang appointed: Hu Siquan, Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ye Zongequan, Secretary Nong Shaoqing, Li Huiyuan signed a letter to retain the Privy Council power, Hu Zhiruquan, Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Fan Zongyin remained in office after former admonishment, Xie Kejia, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, remained in office after his death, and former Li Zhuo, a member of Zhongshushe, remained in office, and Li Jingning and Zhan Yi also had the right to direct the Bachelor's College.

Xie Ke's family refused because he was ill, so Zhang Bangchang wrote a letter specifically for him, saying in the letter: "Since we have no choice but to commit suicide, we will not eat for five or seven days, and we cannot die, how can we be forgiven, sir, so that we can all be safe at home and abroad?" , It is still possible to study the long-term plan. Kuang Quan, who has taken up his old position, does not dare to burden the public with this, and the public has no excuse to resign, so he is very lucky."
